Chapter 17 Three fires for new officials to take office
Wu Song walks on the bluestone broad road of Taiji Palace, waist across Longquan knife, on both sides are pavilions and water pavilions, flower and stone landscape, the time has just arrived, the golden sun shines on the buildings of Taiji Palace in the early morning, the scenery is extraordinarily spectacular.
From time to time, there were palace tent soldiers on duty who passed by Wu Song, saw the armor on his body, and hurriedly stopped to salute, and waited for him to nod before leaving respectfully.
From time to time, there was a faint sound of discussion in the ears, nothing more than to marvel at his defeat of the "ten thousand enemies" Xiao Gan in a few moves in front of the palace, many palace tent troops were on the scene at that time, so this matter quickly spread in the palace, almost all the palace tent troops knew that the new commander was strong in martial arts, and defeated Xiao Gan, the ten thousand enemies in the army, and other deeds, so they would show an expression of awe when they saw Wu Song.
The strong, no matter what dynasty they are in, are respected.
Wu Song walked on the road, enjoying the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone, but the prestige on the surface could not make him feel happy, what he was most worried about was how to save Yan Ping, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.
Thinking about it, he has come to a square in the Taiji Palace, the square is all paved with large bluestone bricks, square, about seven or eight zhang long, this place is called the East Square, which is the place where the palace tent army usually changes shifts. At this time, there were dozens of palace tent troops standing above.
When the five palace tent troops led by Wu Song saw Wu Song coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Wu Song politely returned the salute. The five breathed a sigh of relief, the new ruler didn't look like a harsh person. One of them stepped forward and bowed his hand, "Lord Commander, all the generals and generals of the Haw Par Legion have arrived, please review." ”
Northern Liao is located in Yanyun, at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty, not only living under the influence of Han culture, but also the establishment of the army has obvious Sinicization influence. The Northern Liao army, like the Song Dynasty, implemented the Shiwu system, with five people as a team and ten people as a Shi, and the chief and the chief were the smallest officers.
Next, 100 people built a battalion, and 10 battalions were an army, and an army of about 1,000 people. Only armies of five or more armies can be called legions. For example, Northern Liao now has three strategic legions, namely the Tiger and Leopard Legion composed of the palace tent army, the elite cavalry lone wolf legion and the 10,000 infantry legion under Yelu Dashi.
Others, such as the Bohai Naval Regiment under Xi Wang Xiaogan, the Han Legion, the Ciliao Legion, etc., cannot be called a legion in the strict sense, because these soldiers and horses are scattered in the important cities and passes of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and are responsible for the daily defense of the city, and they are not gathered together like the three major legions, so they can only defend the city by sending troops. Northern Liao claims to have 60,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, the real combat strength is only three major armies, about 20,000.
The palace tent troops standing in front of Wu Song now are the partial generals and partial generals of the Tiger and Leopard Legion, the commander of the first battalion is called the partial general, and the leader of the first army is called the partial general. Wu Song is the commander of the Haw Par Legion.
Wu Song looked at the dozens of people in the field, with resolute eyes and a tall body, he was indeed the elite of the Liao army. He walked to the front of the square, stood in front of these palace tent troops, and shouted, "Generals of the Tiger and Leopard Legion, I am the new commander of your legion, my name is Yelusong, I don't want to say more nonsense, for you, I have only one request, that is, my soldiers, you must listen to me, the military order is like a mountain, do you understand?" ”
"Understood." Dozens of biases replied loudly, and the sound shook the sky.
Wu Song nodded with satisfaction, but he heard a sneer in his ears, and he turned his head to see that it was him! At this time, Wen Han, who was in a green shirt and a small hat, passed by the square and saw Wu Song's military parade, but his face showed disdain. His move immediately aroused the anger of the crowd and the generals.
But everyone didn't dare to move, they could only open their eyes, their eyes seemed to breathe fire, but they could only force down the anger in their hearts. There is no other reason, just because he is the prime minister of the left court, Li Chuwen.
Like other palace tent troops, Wu Song was very angry, or even more angry than them, he had just seen the true face of this prime minister last night, such a beastly person, entering the palace in a grand manner, the direction was still the harem in the palace, if Wu Song still couldn't guess, he simply wiped his neck and committed suicide.
Thinking of his coveting of Liu Yun, Wu Song felt unhappy for a while. He shouted at a partial general on the side, "My palace tent army is in charge of guarding the palace, this person is not a soldier of our army, how could he let him into the palace, could it be that he is a long-bearded eunuch." ”
When the generals heard this, their hearts were happy, Li Chuwen was even shorter of breath, the dignified prime minister of Northern Liao, he was scolded as a eunuch, he was so angry that he almost had a seizure on the spot, but he seemed to remember something, stared at Wu Song hatefully, turned around and walked in the direction of Gong Luan.
A partial general came out of the first way, "Yelu said with a smile, he is my Liao Prime Minister Li Chuwen, he can enter and exit the palace gate at will, which is what Your Majesty means." ”
Wu Song was shocked, and went in and out at will, isn't this a joke, Wu Song wondered if Ye Luchun's head was clamped by the door, and a normal man was allowed to enter and leave his harem, isn't this luring the wolf into the room, but there is no need for the general to lie, just at this time, Li Chuwen turned around and glanced at Wu Song ostentatiously, with a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth.
"Pickled." Wu Song almost scolded, he looked at Li Chuwen's back, and sneered, he didn't want to take root in the Liao Kingdom, so he was not afraid of offending people at all, the prince Yelu Jun was offended, and he still cared about a little prime minister.
"Fart." Wu Song scolded the general for a while, "Gong Luan's place, how can you go in and out casually, this is a rumor, it is not true at all, now I order you to take a few people, immediately beat him and throw him out of the palace gate." ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Although the general wants to do this, he is also a man with brains, and after a little thought, he knows that it is not realistic. Just kidding, beating the prime minister of the dynasty, a small partial general, it's not enough to die seven or eight times, the system, if you want to pit me, I won't bring this.
The careful thinking of this partial general naturally couldn't hide from Wu Song, he said coldly, "Didn't you hear my words, I am responsible for the accident, Your Majesty wants to cut off the head and I will bear it alone, everyone here can testify, the military order is like a mountain, have you forgotten what I just said, go quickly, otherwise you will be dealt with by disobeying the military order." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the Longquan knife in an uproar, the snow bright knife light came out of the sheath, the cold air was pressing, and under Wu Song's combination of soft and hard, the generals finally made up their minds. The five of them carried their waist knives and walked towards Li Chuwen with murderous spirits.
Li Chuwen was stunned, he was a little confused about the situation, I am the prime minister, alas, how dare you do this. But he didn't be stunned for long, and finally panicked, and five Liao army men approached him with fierce faces, if they didn't realize the danger, they deserved to be beaten.
What to do? Prime Minister Li's high-IQ mind was running fast, and he finally thought of a good idea, he took a step and ran away, which was called a fast run, so that the five generals behind him were also stunned, but they quickly caught up.
