Li Cangjiu has the ambition to fight thieves and make meritorious contributions, and when he heard Wen Chou's words, he was shocked and said, "The lieutenant will hit Huang Beard?" ”

"Yet"

"Cang is willing to be the lieutenant's precursor!"

Wen Chou smiled: "I know that Li Wei is brave and martial, but Jun is the left lieutenant of the Yuan clan, but it is not the duty of the king to cross the border to fight thieves."

Li Cang also knew that it was unrealistic to follow Wen Chou to attack Huang Hair, the reason why he asked for war was because he was eager for meritorious service, at this time he was politely rejected by Wen Chou, although he regretted it, but he did not give up, glanced at Zhou Liang who was sitting on the side, and said in his heart: "Because Huang Ming has encroached on my power to restrain me, I have the ambition of a thief, but I have not had the power of a thief for a long time, and now the lieutenant will hit Huang Hu on a large scale, although I can't follow it, but I should also take this opportunity to make a meritorious contribution, and at the worst I will take back my power that Zhou Liang has usurped!" ”

He was thinking about how to take the opportunity to take back the power that was usurped by Zhou Liang, and heard Wen Chou say again: "If Li Wei wants to make meritorious service, he doesn't necessarily have to fight the thief Yuan County from me, but it is the county of Changshan State, Zhao Wang and Fu Xiang are all in this county, and the city's prevention and security in this county is very important, after I lead my troops to leave the county, as long as Li Wei can work together with Zhou Wei to do a good job in the county's public security, it will be a great achievement."

Zhou Liang smiled and asked: "I think the lieutenant must have a plan for this, so please ask the lieutenant to say it directly, I will wait for the lieutenant to be a subordinate, and I should only follow the lieutenant's order."

He said this beautifully, Wen Chou smiled and nodded, and said, "I do have yīdiǎn ideas"

"Lieutenant, please"

"There are not many officials in the two prefectures, and after I leave the county to attack, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain law and order in the county with only the two officials in the prefecture."

"What does the lieutenant mean?"

I want to have the soldiers who stayed in the county take charge of the security of the county together with the two of them."

"This is very good, but the two of us are not familiar with the righteous warriors under the lieutenant, and I am afraid that they will ...... in coordination?"

"I also considered this, so I deliberately called Lieutenant Joda Tadashi to coordinate in the center"

Zhou conscience said: "Coordination in the middle? ”

He has been a long eunuch and is not a hairy boy, and the four words zhīdào wen ugly are just polite words Tian Yuanhao is a lieutenant of six hundred stones, how can kěnéng just do the thing of "coordination in the middle"? Go without saying. This must be Wen Chou's desire to take over the management of public security in Yuanshi County

He was silent and raised his eyes to look at Li Cang

Wen Chou also happened to turn his eyes to look at Li Cang, and said to Li Cang with a smile: "Tian Zhong has not been in Yuanshi for a long time, and he is not familiar with the situation in the county. The responsibility of public security in this county also asks Li Jun to contribute more"

Li Cang is not a fool, he immediately heard the implied meaning of Wen Chou's words, it is obvious that Wen Chou attaches more importance to him than Zhou Liang, and he is thinking about how to take the opportunity to take back power from Zhou Liang, at this time, he got Wen Chou's hint, he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, Lieutenant, Cang will do his best to assist Tian Cheng in managing the security of the county."

Zhou Liang didn't expect Wen Chou to come and seize his right to law and order without concealment, although he was dissatisfied. But seeing that Li Cang had already expressed his support for Wen Chou, but there was nothing he could do, Lieutenant was his nominal chief, and Wen Chou's request was also reasonable, and he couldn't resist in person

Wen Chou asked, "Zhou Jun, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Liang hid his dissatisfaction, still smiling all over his face, and said respectfully: "Liang will also do his best to assist Tian Cheng and solve the lieutenant's worries."

"Good! There is no objection between the two of you. When Yuan Hao comes back from the barracks outside the city, he will discuss it with the two of you in detail! ”

"Yes"

……

Out of the Lieutenant's Palace. Li Cang and Zhou Liang glanced at him

Zhou Liang said: "This Li Cang is really a reckless man, he has more than enough success and more failures, doesn't he know that after the right to law and order in this county was taken away by the lieutenant, my position as county lieutenant and his county lieutenant is useless?" ......, that's it, although he is a reckless man. But if you want to resist the pressure of Lieutenant Lieutenant Cheng, you still need to work with him" suppressed his contempt for Li Cang, and said to him with a smile, "Li Jun ......"

Before the words fell, Li Cang turned his head and left. When Méiyǒu heard it, a stack of voices urged the servants waiting at the lieutenant's mansion to drive the car over, get into the car, and then ordered to drive back to the house, but they walked away

Zhou Liang ate a mouthful of dust, looked at his distant car, was so angry that he smoked, and said again and again: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" ”

Although the county lieutenant has no civil rights, only the "preparation of thieves" is very large, otherwise Zhou Liang would not have encroached on Li Cang's power, and felt sorry for the "oil and water" that would be taken away by Wen Chou, Zhou Liang returned to his house sullenly, and couldn't sleep that night

I didn't sleep well all night, and the next morning, Zhou Liang made a decision and said to his eldest wife: "Yuzhou'er wants to take away my power, and I can't bear it."

"What does the husband want to do?"

"I'm going to chase here!"

His wife was shocked and said: "Wen Jun is the former official of the state pastor, I heard that he is deeply loved and trusted by the state pastor, and even the prime minister is very respectful to him, but how can the husband chase him?" ”

"Xiangjun is Xiangjun, Zhou Liang is Zhou Liang Xiangjun respects him, but I refuse to respect! How can a husband be born in the world without power? Besides, I am in my fifties this year, and Yuzhou's son is only in his twenties, how can my husband bow down to a child? I'm going to get rid of it! ”

"How does the husband want to get rid of him?"

"I have my own way"

Zhou Liang's method is very simple, his wife is right, Wen Chou is Huangfu Song's favorite general, even Li Jin respects him, all over the county, if you want to drive Wen Chou away, only one person has this ability, and that is Huang Ming

Huang Ming's subordinate father Duan Qi is in the middle of the court, as long as he can move Huang Ming, and then tōngguò Huang Ming borrows Duan Jue's power, not to mention driving away a literary ugly, it is not difficult to drive away the state minister Li Jin

He said that he would do it, and immediately went to Huang Ming's mansion, and as soon as he saw Huang Ming, he immediately listened, and said: "Duan Jun, the big thing is not good!" You will be killed! ”

Huang Ming was taken aback and said, "Why did Zhou Wei say this? ”

Zhou Liang asked him to step down, and when there were only two of them left in the room, he asked Huang Ming and said, "Lieutenant Wenjun, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

Huang Ming has a very good impression of Wen Chou, and has an excellent impression of Wen Chou, and said with a smile: "The lieutenant has both civil and military qualifications, and he is really a masterpiece."

"If you only talk about the ability of the lieutenant, it is true, and Ran Liang dares to ask you again, can you know the lieutenant's family background?"

"He is a disciple of the Changshan Xun clan, and everyone knows ....... How? ”

"Xun clan, the former party members are also lieutenants, and many of the elders in the clan have been imprisoned, and many relatives and friends in his clan have been imprisoned or even killed, he is a remnant of a party member, he is now a lieutenant of the country, not only in charge of military power, but also hypocritical and good name, and befriending outlaws who died lightly. The previous trip to the county, and the heart of the scholar was collected again, and the reputation was widespread, and his ambition was unpredictable! Jun Zhi is from his father to the middle range, and he can be said to be mortal enemies, Duan Jun, if you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, and when he gains a firm foothold in Zhao County, I'm afraid he will be unfavorable to Jun."

Zhou Liang is juggling right and wrong. Sow discord.

Wen Chou didn't know about this

After meeting Zhou Liang and Li Cang, Lu Guang left the county with the 200 soldiers who dared to fight the county and went to Luancheng County

Before he left, Wen Chou wrote a letter to Luancheng Ling Li Fen, asking him to assist Lu Guang in capturing Huangyuling

Xu Rong is a native of Huangyuling, and he himself shoulders the responsibility of preparing the Xintun coach, although he cannot go to Huangyuling with Lu Guang. However, he also selected two or three young men from his hometown who followed him who were familiar with the shape of the Huangyuling Mountain, and made them Lu Guang's guides

With the assistance of Li Fen. With the help of Xu Rongxiang's people, with 200 county soldiers to attack dozens of bandits in Huangyuling, as long as there are no accidents in Lu Guang's trip, he will definitely be able to win a big victory

Lu Guangzhi seized Huangyuling first, which can be regarded as the prelude to Wen Chou's large-scale attack on Huang Beard this time

After sending him away, Wen Chou first controlled the security in Yuanshi County through Tian Yuanhao. After that, he put all his thoughts on compiling Xintun and practicing righteousness

Xintun was organized very quickly, although Guo Jia and Xu Rong did not lead soldiers, but Zhao Yun, Li Dian and others under Wen Chou were "battle-hardened", as early as in Xixiang, Wen Chou used the Art of War Department to strangle them, and they were very familiar with things in the army. With their guidance and assistance, coupled with Guo Jia and Xu Rong's talents, it only took more than a day for the two Xintuns to be completed

Of course, this "completion of preparation" is only a formal completion of preparation

Whether it is the nearly 100 "bandits" brought back by Guo Jia, or the more than 100 soldiers and strong men in Luancheng County that Li Fen gave to Wen Chou, they have no experience in the army, most of them do not know the art of battle formations, and most of them do not know the law and discipline in the army, but it will take a certain amount of time to form combat effectiveness

For a "new army", the most important thing is not to teach them the battle formation, but first to let them know military law. Only with the surname of discipline and the surname of the organization can we learn the battle array

Although at this stage, Wen Chou does not need these two Xintun to immediately form combat effectiveness, and mainly uses them to teach the headquarters how to conduct mountain warfare, but it is also necessary for them to know the "military law".

Guo Jia and Xu Rong were not familiar with military law, and Wen Chou sent Xiahoulan to the two of them, and Xiahoulan was in charge of this matter

In this way, during the day, the two soldiers of Xintun taught the righteous servants of the Wenchou Headquarters to fight in the mountains; In the evening, Xiahoulan gathered them together again and taught them military law

Xiahoulan was recommended by Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun said that Xiahou Lan Xiao studied military law and was proficient in legal writing, this recommendation was not false at all In the passage of contact with Xiahoulan, Wen Chou always asked about military law, and he answered like a fluent and reasonable, taking into account Wen Chou, and deeply felt that he had picked up a talent

The matter of military law in the Wenchou army was originally in charge of Tian Chou Li Xuan and others, Tian Chou, Li Xuan and others did not learn military law, but civil law, in the area of civil law, Xiahou Lan was not as good as Li Xuan, and in the area of military law, Li Xuan was not as good as Xiahou Lan

The four words "Xiao Xi military law" seem to be easy and simple, but in ancient times, this kind of illiteracy accounted for the vast majority, and professional knowledge was often in the hands of a few people, and it was only taught to disciples, so that in the overall context of "family learning", a person who is familiar with military law is rare, especially compared with the civil law that Li Xuantian chou and they learned, the professional surname of military law is stronger, and there are fewer people who learn it

Therefore, Wen Chou admires and relies on Xiahoulan very much

Needless to say, the so-called military law is a force that "establishes force to threaten the people, and punishes evil in order to prohibit evil." A unit with lax military law can absolutely become a long army that is good at fighting, and only by making the soldiers "fear me," that is, the fear of military law is better than the fear of the enemy, can the troops order and prohibit them and survive a hundred battles

-- Therefore, the military judge of an army may not have the courage of a vanguard general, and may not have a good reputation, but he is actually the binding criterion of an army, and in detail its important surname, an excellent military judge is even far better than a brave general

-- Han Cheng Qin system, the army specially set up the post of "military justice", that is, military judges, "the main military lawyer" military is also in the military position is relatively special, although the position is under the main general, but it is not under the command of the main general, and the law enforcement is "in accordance with the military law". It is only based on military law, and has a certain judicial reading power, and if there is a violator of the law for generals and colonels below 2,000 stones, they can directly enforce the law, and for those with more than 2,000 stones, such as generals. If there is any illegal act, the army can report it to the imperial court and ask the Son of Heaven to adjudicate

-- From the power of the military chief, it can also be seen that military law is important to a military force

Xiahoulan lived up to the high expectations of Wen Chou, and in a short period of time, he "gave three orders and five declarations", so that the soldiers of Xintun generally knew the law in the army

There are many provisions of the law in the army, and the two Han Dynasty have a special "Military Law", which stipulates all kinds of laws in detail, from the constraints of generals and colonels, down to the soldiers of Xintun, although they have a general understanding of these terms. The officials and soldiers of Luancheng County are a little better, those "bandits" are used to being casual, but it is difficult to do it for a while, and sometimes there are illegal acts when they are employing people, when they are not prestigious, Xia Houlan obtained the consent of Wen Chou, and turned a blind eye to these new pawns' small violations of the law, and ignored them for the time being

The instructor is divided into two steps: the first step is to teach the "theory" by the soldiers of Xintun. The "theory" has been taught, and the second step is to pull the righteous people in batches to the mountains near the county to "practice" in order to be more realistic. Wen Chou also ordered Zhao Yun and Li Dian to divide the parts involved in the practice into two teams, black and red, one team guarding the mountain and the other team attacking the mountain, and practicing in rotation

At the beginning of October, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the soldiers of Yicong County changed into thick clothes

Intensely coaching work was carried out for half a month. In the middle of October, it began to rain

It's already cold, and it's even colder

……

This time, Wen Chou and Tian Yuanhao, Xun Yu, Yuan, Rong, Li Xuan, Tian Chou, Guo Jiacen, Xu Rong, etc., climbed high and overlooked. Under the gloomy and gloomy mountains, the distant mountains are vast

Tian Yuanhao looked at it for a long time, and said to Wen Chou: "Attack, the mountain is cold and lacks food and clothing, lieutenant, when the rain recedes, the thieves in the mountains may come out to invade the counties."

Wen Chou thought so

"Through these coaches, our righteous servants already know the art of mountain fighting, although they are not proficient, but they are enough to fight, rather than waiting for thieves to commit, it is better to hit Huang Beard first"

Xun Yu agreed with his opinion and said, "What Yuan Hao said is very true" paused, and added, "Lu Guang led two hundred county guards to guard Huangyuling, and it is not appropriate to let him be alone for a long time."

Wen Chou stretched his hand out of the eaves of the building, and received the rain that fell from the sky, the rain was very dense, and in a moment his hand sleeves were wet, he frowned and said, "Why is the mountain slippery after the rain?" ”

His righteous followers are beginners in the art of mountain fighting, and they are not very proficient, and after the rain, the mountain road is bound to be muddy, but it is even more difficult

Guo Jia smiled: "I have a plan, Keke Mountain Slippery"

"Oh? What's the plan? ”

"In the past years, I traveled abroad, went to Jingzhou, and saw that the local people often wear a kind of black lacquer shoes after the rain, the bottom and the surface of the shoes are coated with a thick layer of black paint, and the bottom of the shoes is covered with small protrusions, which is extremely non-slip Lieutenant can pass on the text Xiangjun, please let people make nearly 10,000 pairs, and distribute them to the righteous soldiers, enough to climb mountains and mountains, such as razing the ground."

Yuzhou and Jizhou are in the north, and Jingzhou is rainy in the south even if it is in the south, so there are also corresponding rain boots such as black lacquer shoes

Wen Chou was overjoyed and said, "Okay! With these shoes, I don't have to worry about it."

made a decision at the moment, while sending a message to Li Jin, asking him to organize people to make rain boots, and on the other hand, he sent an order to go down, ordering Zhao Yun Li Dian and others to prepare for the war, just wait for the shoes to be made and the rain stops, and then attack Huang Hair

Previously, Wen Chou asked Li Jin to prepare the grain, straw, ordnance and other materials needed for logistics and recruit people, Li Jin has done it, not to mention thousands of pairs of rain boots, he assigned the task down, according to the shoe pattern drawn by Guo Jia, first made a few pairs out, Wen Chou personally put on and tried it, it was really non-slip, and it was decided to use it, and the county rushed to make it, and two thousand pairs were made in less than two days

There are more than 2,000 righteous servants under Wen Chou, and it is impossible for him to take all the men and horses to fight yellow hair, and 2,000 pairs of rain boots are enough

On October 22, the rain receded

That night, Wen Chou went out of the city, stayed in the camp, gathered the generals, and arranged the dispatch of troops

He left Tian Yuanhao, Zhao Yuntong, 800 people to guard the Yuan clan, and brought the remaining main force, and the Yuan clan Rong Xun Yu Dian Wei Liu Qing Li Dian Dong Zhi He Yi Li Xuan Zhao Yun Guo Jia Xu Rong Cen Zhu and others attacked

……

Early the next morning, Minister Li Jin, Guo Fu Huang Zonglang, ordered Huang Ming's servant He Fa and other county officials to send each other off

Nearly 2,000 tigers who were about to attack from Wenchou gathered in the open space in the camp, the queue was neat, the lineup was bright, the flags were waved, and the guns were like Lin Li Jin and Huang Zong all the people boarded the camp general's platform, looking at this high-morale troops, Li Jin praised from the bottom of his heart: "The real tiger warrior is also" said to Wen Chou, "The lieutenant has such a strong soldier under his command, and this attack on Huang Hu will definitely be successful." I'm waiting for the lieutenant's good news at Yuan's."

Huang Ming is also full of praise - Huang Ming is still honest in the end, although he has been slandered by the Yang family's parents and Zhou Liang, but at least for now, he has no evil thoughts about Wen Chou

He also wished Wen Chou a victory

Huang Zong is a native of Runan, the same state as Wen Chou, and thanks Wen Chou for following Huangfu Song to pacify the Black Mountain of Runan. Since Wen Chou arrived in Changshan Country, he has been very friendly with Wen Chou, and he has not hesitated to send his best wishes

On the third pole, Yuan Shirong came to the stage to report: "The time has come"

Wen Chou made a military salute to Li Jin, Huang Zong, Huang Ming, and others, and said: "The Yellow Bearded King should be the confidant of my Changshan Kingdom, if these two thieves are not removed, then the Changshan Kingdom will have no peace!" Ugly this time to attack the yellow hair, no victory, no return to the Yuan family! ”

Li Jin and others spoke strongly. They all returned the salute and said, "In this way, we will wait for the lieutenant's good news."

Wen Chou gave an order, and all the troops appeared and left the camp in turn

The weather after the rain was good, the sun was shining, the air was warm and fresh

Although there was mud on the ground, there was no hindrance to the march

Nearly 2,000 righteous riders rode out of the barracks in high spirits. Turn to Shangguan Road

Along the way, there was a jam of spectators

Wen Chou's military discipline was extremely strict, and his subordinates rarely went out of the camp in normal times. The last time the people of the Yuan clan saw them such a large-scale march was after Wen Chou defeated Zuo Xu, this time they saw them go out of the camp again, and the smart ones have guessed that this must be Wen Chou and are going to attack the thieves again The people of course eliminate the thieves in the county, many people chanted in the middle of the road, and they also wished Wen Chou a victory

won the cheers and support of the people, and the morale of the righteous servants under Wen Chou's command became higher and higher

At noon, he left the Yuanshi County border. After a short rest, he set off again, crossed the river, and arrived at Luancheng County in the afternoon

Li Fen had already gotten the message. With the gentry of Luancheng County to greet each other at the county border, there were hundreds of people from Luancheng County who came with him

Wen Chou ordered the three armies to be suspended, dismounted, and brought Xun Yuyuan's Rong to the front to meet Li Fen and others

Li Fen took the lead in bowing, and many gentry from Luancheng County bowed down

Li Fen said: "The yellow-haired person, the giant thief, the county has been in trouble for a long time, and the people are ashamed of it, and the lieutenant personally led the bears to quell the thieves, which is the luck of the people of my county!" ”

Wen Chou helped him up, and then helped the gentry up, looked back at the nearly 2,000 steps on the pavilion road, looked west at the mountains in the distance, and then looked forward to Yuan's Rong, Guo Jia, Xu Rong, Cen Zhu and a few other locals of Changshan Country, laughed with Li Fen and the gentry of Zhuluancheng County and said: "Chouxi is the lieutenant of the country, the thief and the people, this is where my job is to hit the yellow hair today, I should build military merits with Zhao Junshi!" ”

……

Luancheng County is not far from Yuanshi, but it is not close, and the troops have marched to this point, and they need to be repaired

That night, he rewarded the three armies with the wine, meat, and rice food sent by Li Fen, and ordered the officers of each tribe to go to bed early that night and rest for one night

Li Fen and the gentry of Luancheng County sent Wen Chou ten miles to each other

Watching this mighty army go to the distant mountains under the night before the dawn, Li Fen sighed and said: "Yesterday it was said that it was to the county, and today it was less than five watches to pull out the camp and attack. ”

Thank you Xuanyuan Jian and other classmates for their monthly tickets, two shifts tomorrow

The yellow hair hides in the western mountains

Xishan is in the west of Luancheng County

From Luancheng County to the west, go more than ten miles, pass through the plains and fields, enter the hilly area, and then go more than ten miles, there is a mountain rising in front

This mountain is not high, only sixty or seventy zhang, but the mountain is steep and stony, usually in spring and summer, the mountain is lush with trees, and now after the cold rain, most of the leaves of the forest have fallen, from a distance, only to see the mountain gray and white variegated, the gray is the mountain soil, the white is the mountain stone" The novel chapter is updated the fastest

Fourth, the battalion was more pulled, and the days were short in October, and it was just dawn when they came here

Xu Rong drove his horse to Wen Chou and said, "Lieutenant, this is the closure of the mountain, after this mountain, and then there is the West Mountain."

Xu Rong is a native of Luancheng County, and he is not familiar with the local terrain and mountains, and he is not only a guide for this attack on Huang Yan, but also the predetermined vanguard front

"Seal the mountain" this mountain name has a long history, don't look at this mountain appearance is not amazing, only dozens of zhang high, covers an area is not wide, but has a long history, it is more than 3,000 years ago Zhou Gongdan's fourth son Xinghou Ji Tho's first fief of the Western Zhou Dynasty one of the princes of Xing was built on this mountain, this mountain has become the birthplace of the "Xing" clan, and the "Xing" of the "Xingtai" of later generations is also said to be this "Xing" (to be continued. )
