Chapter 668: Tai Shi Ci returns
"Lord, Zilong, you're back, I really want to die!"
Wang Yu has never liked the frills and festivals, and he hates pomp and circumstance, so although the news of his return to the division has long been reported to the general's mansion, there is no scene where someone welcomes him and sweeps the floor and burns incense.
But no matter how low-key he is, he is the lord of Qingzhou, and when he comes back after leaving for more than half a year, it is impossible for the officials not to say anything at all. The welcoming ceremony was placed in the inner city, where only the yamen and the academy remained, and the place was relatively spacious, and there was no risk of disturbing the people.
Wang Yu didn't care about this, there was a problem with the flood of privileges, and it was impossible to completely eliminate it, so it was better to let it go with the flow than to deliberately emphasize it. It's just that what he didn't expect was that among the people who greeted him, the first one to jump out was Tai Shici, who had been absent for a long time!
"Ziyi, you're back soon."
Tai Shi Ci grinned and waved his hand: "Of course you have to be quick, I told those boys on the boat in advance that your instructions must be delivered to me as soon as possible, otherwise they will look good!" No, as soon as your news arrived, so-and-so came back immediately, and now that the wind direction and ocean currents are clear, isn't this journey just a matter of days? ”
As he spoke, he sighed: "I knew that the lord was going to ride south lightly and fight thousands of miles, so I wouldn't go to sea." ”
Zhao Yun asked curiously, "Big brother, didn't you fight a lot in Sanhan?" I heard that every battle is won with less, so many battles have been fought yet, haven't you had enough fun? ”
"Hey, don't mention it." Tai Shi Ci looked very annoyed: "Before going to sea, what the lord said was not serious, and I thought it could be dangerous." As a result, along the way, there are navigation maps, compasses, and good sea boats. In addition, Samhan is also close, and the road is not ordinarily easy, and the impassioned momentum of Chengshan seeing off has not passed, and the ship has docked......"
These complaints have been held back by Tai Shi Ci for almost a year, and he finally has a chance to vent, just pouring bitter water.
After going ashore, he and Gong Tian's troops were separated, and he continued to go south along the route of the sea chart, and he first found a place to build a port in Ziyi Bay. When the guy was gone. It also made it seem as if heaven and man were forever separated, and repeatedly told me to be patient, not to rashly clash with the locals, and wait for the fleet to return and the backup arrive. The result? ”
"I found a place where no one was there to build a port, and after more than ten days, a tribe of 1,000 people came to the door and said that a certain piece of land was theirs. They thought they were hiding secretly, but in fact, the scouts had already discovered them nearby, thinking that they had discovered us and were waiting for backup. In actual contact, I found out that they had taken a fancy to the simple port and wooden houses we built......"
Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "I have to say, these barbarians are quite knowledgeable, better than those so-called celebrities in Jizhou." Know what is a good thing. ”
Encountering a large number of enemies in a foreign land, the atmosphere should be very solemn, but everyone already knows the result, and Tai Shici's tone is also very interesting. Everyone laughed when they heard it.
The wooden house of Gaotang has become a symbol of the miracle of Gaotang. From a refugee camp to a metropolis that everyone yearns for, such a transformation contains the pride of all people in Qingzhou.
"It's easy to figure out that they're here to rob, fight, won't you be honest if you are convinced? The result is really not to mention, no wonder they dare to come to rob, there are indeed a few brushes. That battle was two hundred against six hundred, and the main general of the other side, it can also be said that the village chief was hiding far behind, and there was no tactic to speak of, just a head-on hedge......"
Tai Shi Ci is not a brave and unscrupulous person, but in his bones he is a violent element, the enemy is only 600, and he is not a regular army, so it is impossible for him to use any tricks. In fact, he rushed into battle alone, and with a few casual swings of his halberd, he put down more than a dozen people on the opposite side, and the combat power shown by the other party was extremely weak.
"When the brethren rushed up, and two or three looked at each other, the barbarians were cut down more than a hundred, and you know the result? When the battle was like this, they were stunned and did not retreat! I don't know if it's been held back for too long, Wang Yu feels that Tai Shici's eloquence has also grown a lot, and a skirmish with a huge disparity in strength and weakness is actually a bit suspenseful under his rendering.
"Is this strange? How could such a weak soldier have such a strong will to fight? Zhang Liao is not a talkative person, but he can't stand Tai Shi Ci too well, and in surprise, he involuntarily interjected and asked.
After asking, he found that there was a bit of banter in the eyes of everyone who looked at him, and he was slightly stunned, wondering if he had said the wrong thing. Before he could figure it out, Tai Shici had already slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This brother asked well." Actually, it's very simple, they are not strong will to fight, but they are scared stupid, hehe, I didn't expect it, right? ”
Zhang Liao was stunned, and then he suddenly realized, no wonder no one answered just now, it turns out that everyone knows the temper of the speaker. The strength of this clap is really not small, no wonder this person is known as the number one fierce general in the fierce hussar army - Zhao Yun's martial arts may be higher, but his personality is so good, but he is a little less domineering, and he is really this person who captures the flag and boosts morale.
"After the first battle and hundreds of prisoners, the next one was even easier...... The so-called Sanhan, there is no imperial court at the root, and it is the same thing as those tribes on the grassland. Before the arrival of the backup, a certain had fought more than a dozen battles, swept away dozens of tribes, but his own brothers were unscathed, those people were not even prepared with wooden sticks, it is not strange to win them, but it is really strange to lose the battle. ”
Later, it alarmed Ma Han's royal tent, and Han Chieftain gathered dozens of tribes to kill them together, and this time the strength was much stronger, not only wooden sticks and bamboo poles, but also many knives and guns, and even armor. If we had met them at the beginning, we would have had to run away, but by then we had already prepared, and we had found hundreds of horses, and 200 people had become cavalry. ”
There is no suspense in the future, although King Ma Han also has some cavalry, but their cavalry is a soldier on a horse, and the cavalry led by Tai Shici cannot be compared.
After paying a small price to kill the Mahan cavalry, Tai Shici bypassed the elite of the king's tent and directly rode the miscellaneous soldiers on both wings of the conflict, and the bead curtain was reversed, driving the soldiers to charge the enemy formation, which was the classic tactic of the cavalry to break the infantry.
King Mahan nests in the corner of the peninsula and reigns as the king, where has he seen this? Before the root could start the siege, the formation had already collapsed. The defeated army rushed to pieces, and it was a mess, because the response was too slow, and in the end, even others were swept into the tide of rout, and they were trampled into meat sauce by the chaotic army.
Tai Shici took Zhao Yun's hand and sighed: "Just this kind of goods, don't say two hundred against thirty thousand, but also against three hundred thousand?" What's so strange about winning the war? How can it compare to you and Chang, all the opponents you meet are equal, even Cao Bao's straw bag is not useless, it is much stronger than me. ”
Being stirred up by Tai Shici like this, the atmosphere of the welcome ceremony became more and more relaxed and casual. After everyone saluted Wang Yu, they each talked to their familiar colleagues, and Zhang Liao was puzzled for a while.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are righteous brothers, and they haven't seen each other for almost a year, and the hot point is understandable, and Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang are the same, but what is the matter with these people who have come to work together in Gaotang City?
Wang Xiu and Guo Yuan were cordially greeting, and they felt a little like they had met their old acquaintances in a foreign land; Jia Xu and Tian Feng were discussing something passionately, as if they hadn't spoken for a long time; The most outrageous thing is that the three brothers and sisters of the Mi family, who are obviously a family, just got together at this time to talk.
Because of curiosity, Zhang Liao couldn't avoid suspicion, so he listened closely, but found that there was no one to talk about business.
Wang Xiu and Guo Yuan are discussing fashion, where the wine is authentic, where the teahouse has a new storytelling or play, and they make an appointment to go to a new restaurant for a drink another day; Jia Xu and Tian Feng's topic is relatively serious, they are discussing the issue of rising prices, but they are not discussing it from the perspective of official business, but discussing the relationship between official salaries and prices, in short, these two are complaining, complaining that Wang Yu pays too little salary and works too much.
As for the three members of the Mi family, the basis is that the elder brother told the younger brother to drink less and do more things, the younger sister told the elder brother to add a few more clothes when it was cold, and the elder brother told the younger sister to be careful in the yamen, not to work too hard, to pay attention to the maintenance of the body, and so on.
This is the hussar shogunate, known for its efficiency and ability to perform miracles? Zhang Liao was surprised, no matter how you look at it, you can't see that these officials have the spirit of the ancient sages who work day and night?
He couldn't think of why, so he simply found Zhao Yun's bag again to inquire.
"Brother Yuan asked this. The lord has always emphasized that it is normal not to talk about private affairs during working hours and personal affairs, and it is also normal for the monarchs not to work together, although they are in the same city, they do not see each other much. ”
Zhao Yun looked nostalgic in his eyes, and said with emotion: "In the past, the lord was in Gaotang, and everyone often gathered, anyway, the lord would always gather everyone, and no one else would need to make a fuss. However, during this time, the lord is not there, everyone is busy with official business, so there are fewer gatherings, right? ”
"Not working together?" Zhang Liao did not miss any opportunity to enhance understanding.
Zhao Yun patiently explained: "That's right. The general's headquarters is in the inner city, mainly the military intelligence department in charge of important military affairs, and the various departments under its jurisdiction are in charge of different affairs, and there is not much intersection between them, so they set up yamen in the city according to their own convenience. For example, the Commercial Division is on Chaoyang Street, which is the commercial street we passed by, and the Agricultural Division is in ...... Because the city is too big, after the government is lowered, everyone is busy with their own work, and there is less movement. ”
"I see, that's ......" Zhang Liao was dumbfounded when he heard it, the world is big, there are no surprises, there are many strange things in Qingzhou, is this the secret of Qingzhou's strong army and efficient government affairs?
