The next few days were extremely busy.

and the construction of a large school yard and the continuation of the camp outside the city; Dingzhou, Ningyuan and other cities, grain and grass storage is different, some more, some less, unified deployment, each city is allowed to store at most one month's grain, more, all transported back to the twin cities, build warehouses, hand over heavy storage; The captured ordnance, armor, and war horses, in addition to supplementing the defects in the headquarters, were also sent to the twin cities; The meritorious soldiers of each department were divided into thousands of households in the unified army to compile a roster, report to Deng She, and reward meritorious deeds. Comfort the wounded and mourn the dead.

In view of the lesson of harboring women in the army last time, Deng She and Hong Jixun officially compiled a set of military laws. It's not complicated, seven or eight, and the focus is on two places. One is to obey orders, and the other is to prohibit disturbance of the people. The horses were delivered to the cities, and the generals were strictly ordered to govern the army according to the law and not to be appeased.

At the same time, it is stipulated that each team of 100 people will hold a meeting once a month. Whenever there is a war, all armies gather in one place and convene in a unified manner.

It is not enough to have these two items in terms of military discipline and ideological work. Material satisfaction. Try to improve the food in the army, and those who have officers withhold the rations of the soldiers will die. The weather will be warm, and each city will collect summer cloths and other clothes to make seasonal military uniforms. Each army is required to organize its own non-commissioned activities when fighting and practicing leisure, such as the infantry can be let go, the horns can be resisted, etc., and the cavalry can shoot and shoot willows; A prize will be awarded to the winner. It not only gets entertainment, but also helps to improve combat effectiveness. Best of both worlds.

In addition, each army is allowed to set up its own prostitutes, and the ratio of military prostitutes to military guards cannot exceed 1 to 100, that is, a team of 1,000 people is allowed to carry 10 military prostitutes.

The retinue who followed Deng She when defending the twin cities were killed in more than 30 battles, and more than 60 remained. In addition to the Han Chinese, there are also Koreans, not many, three or four. Incorporated into the pro-soldiers. Deng She treats everyone equally, treats them well, and is really like a brother. During the day, he is on his side, and at night he guards the door. They were given an independent organization, and because they were all older than Dunshe, they were privately called "elder brothers" in the army.

The centurion of the elder brother's team was served by the old man of Liaodong. The old man's surname is Bi, and when he was born, the poor family was afraid, so he gave him a name, called Qianniu. There is an elder brother named Wan Niu who starved to death a few years ago.

The Goryeo untouchables who died in battle, Deng She asked for his name, and he was buried in his coffin. Fulfill the promise, the whole army of the untouchables and sticks will be denied their untouchables, and a new Shuangcheng household registration will be issued to them, so that they can enter the people from good terms. As soon as the household registration was issued, the beautiful pawn thundered with joy.

Although most of the Li pawns were summoned when they were in Liaodong, many of them still did not know Chinese, or only a little. Bad communication. Ordinary soldiers and soldiers, above the commander of ten masters, ordered them to learn Chinese, so as not to appear on the battlefield to be unable to collude and military orders to fail.

It's a lot of things, and it's sorted out properly. It's five days later. The city wall was repaired, the large school field was basically completed, and most of the camps outside the city were completed.

The Koreans have not heard anything for more than half a month. Tanmalai reported that the cities west of Ningyuan and south of the mud river could not shrink and tried their best to avoid it. Even the military horses of Dingzhou and Ningyuan who went out of the city to guard food, they did not dare to move, and sometimes they patrolled and saw it, and fled far away. Needless to say, Deng She's record of annihilating 5,000 people and defeating 20,000 people frightened them. In the long run, I dare not say, at least within a few months, the twin cities will be safe.

After a series of fierce battles, we finally had to gain a firm foothold. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Deng She's mood is very different from before, and he often has a happy smile on his face; Under Mrs. Wang's considerate service, the wound on her neck is slowly healing.

In the past few days, he has been busy, and he has not forgotten to celebrate Qianxing. I went to see him every once in a while. Don't talk about the country, just talk about the wind and the moon. Occasionally, I picked up some examples of past battles, or from historical books, or personal experience, and discussed them with him; Qing Qianxing shouted angrily and scolded, he only acted as a light breeze and was not angry.

Qing Qianxing ignored him, so he talked to himself, asked and answered himself; If he is willing to say two words, he will argue seriously, sometimes winning, sometimes admitting defeat; If he loses, he will be praised and praised as a famous player in the world.

Later, Qing Qianxing couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask about the situation of Lijun, but he was vague and avoided answering. If he doesn't answer, it doesn't mean that Zuo Che'er, who is in charge of guarding Qing Qianxing, doesn't answer, not only answers, but also exaggerates the facts. For example, Ning Yuan fought hard, and when it came to his mouth, it became an easy four words, "The army is broken to the city". What will Qing Qianxing think about this? It can be guessed from some of his subtle changes.

Everything is learned, and the practice of human feelings is the article. Deng She can't be a good person, as long as he is willing to pay attention to everything, he can always do it. In the afternoon, he came to the hospital of Qing Qianxing and chatted with him. took a small box, put it on the table, and said, "My subordinates sent me some hundred-year-old ginseng from Jiashan." Jiashan ginseng is good. I'm getting better, and I don't need much. After the war, the general has not been properly nourished, so it is better to give it to the general. "Tell the left car," Ask someone to boil it every day. When it was used up, he sent a messenger to Jiashan and asked General Zhao for it. ”

Qing Qianxing was dismissive. Two days ago, it was sent to Dingzhou Geji, and today it is Jiashan ginseng. Insect carving skills to win people's hearts! Said: "Don't be tired, don't be hypocritical." If you have the courage, let me go as soon as possible. You and I will decide the winner again! "But he no longer seeks death and life.

"It's okay to let the general go. It's just that in the past few days, I have benefited a lot from talking with the general. I pity the general's talent, and I don't want the general to lose his life. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Marshal Li Yan in the northwest, return to the court, and put all the guilt of defeat on the general's head." Deng She glanced at Qing Qianxing, and then said, "Although I don't know the military laws of the Li Dynasty, I forgive the general for going back, and I will not escape death." ”

Qing Qianxing looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am in the middle of the court, you are a little thief, how can you know?" Lie to people, is it a three-year-old child! ”

Deng She's face did not move: "Believe it or not, the general." I don't ask the general to believe it. Sincerely, "If there is a talent in the sky, people will cherish it." The general has armor in his belly, and he is also civil and military, and I did not keep the general for me, but for the people of the world. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, not to mention Deng She's sincerity, Qing Qianxing snorted and ignored it. Deng She saw that it was okay and got up to say goodbye. He has a tight schedule every day, and then he has to inspect the campus.

Only then did he leave the gate of the house, and the rangers who scattered outside the city galloped back. Jumping off the horse in a panic. It's not one person, there's another one by your side. Deng She recognized that it should be the centurion of Zhao Guobu. My heart jumped, could it be that there was an urgent military situation in Jiashan? But he didn't ask questions.

Listening to the two of them gasping for breath, he said: "Guan Pingzhang of Liaoyang Province sent a team of men and horses, and passed Jiashan last night, only thirty miles away from Shuangcheng. ”

Deng She was stunned, this news was unexpected. He captured the twin cities before, and sent a messenger to Liaoyang to report the victory. It's strange not to see the messenger come back and report first. After inquiring clearly, I learned that the messenger and this team of men and horses, when they were about to arrive at Jiashan, they encountered a team of Goryeo remnants, and the Lijun army rushed westward, and the messenger was unlucky, and he was hit by an arrow in the leg. I can't move, and now Jiashan is recuperating from his injuries.

The banner of the Nali army reads "Du Commander Jin", which is expected to be Jin Depei. It is estimated that he was defeated in both cities and fled north to Jiashan; Jiashan broke again, broke through successfully, and met Guan Duo's people. Turning west, I probably want to make a detour back to Pyongyang.

It doesn't matter where Kim goes. Why did Guan Duo suddenly send a detachment of men? Deng She urgently ordered his own soldiers to invite Hong Jixun, and informed the generals of Wenhua that they were neatly draped and waiting at the city gate.

He asked, "Who is the messenger?" How many centaurs came? ”

The centurion of Zhao Guo's subordinates replied instead: "The messenger's name is Yao Haogu. There came a thousand-man squad, all cavalry. said that he sent the general to his official position. General Zhao asked him to rest in the city for a night last night, but he refused. It didn't stop. General Zhao had to send a few people to lead the way. Send villains day and night to report shortcuts. "A distance of one hundred and ten miles, with cavalry on both sides, it is good that he can arrive thirty miles in advance.

Dunshe nodded approvingly and told him to go down and rest. The news was delivered in a timely manner, giving him time to react and not be caught off guard.

Yao Haogu knew that Guan Duo's staff. I heard that in the battles to capture Shangdu and Liaoyang, this person participated in the planning. It's just that if you send an official position to take over, why don't you send a provincial official, but send a private staff? And how can a thousand people be needed? Even if the road is restless, the escort messenger will not need so many people.

Deng She frowned, guessing Guan Duo's intentions. He was dressed in civilian clothes, and he had to change his clothes to see the messengers. Turn around and go home. Orders were given one after another: "Select a thousand mighty elite people and go out of the city to line up to greet them." ”

"Tell Wu Henian, Jing Street, arrange a banquet, and prepare more gifts; If there is no one living in the big family in the city, clean it up immediately. The baggage battalion was asked to prepare food and horse food for 1,000 people in advance, and everything was preferential. Housing of 1,000-person residential camps. ”

While he was talking, Hong Jixun came. The place where he lived was next to Dunshe's house, not far away, only half a street away. Deng She briefly explained the situation in a few words. Hong Jixun didn't think about it, and sneered: "Needless to say, I'm here to grab the land." "He was treated coldly in Liaoyang at the beginning, and he was arrogant, where could he endure it. The impression of the Liaoyang red scarf is very bad.

Dunshe smiled and did not speak. He hurriedly changed his clothes and said, "Sir will go out of the city with me to greet you." I don't know the rules very well, the messenger is far away, you and I are not close to ten miles away? ”

Hong Jixun's disgust is disgust, and Guan Duo can't be offended, he naturally knows it. Said: "It's not an angel, it's small to see, four or five miles is enough." ”

Deng She hesitated, went too far to greet him, appeared flattering, and was easily despised; If you are too close, you can't help but look arrogant. said: "For my little hundred, Guan Pingzhang personally sent a messenger to send him off." It's not appropriate to be too close, it's better to be ten miles. ”

Hong Jixun generally did not insist on his own opinions on small matters, and followed Deng She to the city gate, and Wen Huaguo and others waited for a long time. Selecting a thousand pawns is more time-consuming. Deng She couldn't wait, and ordered Luo Guoqi to stay, and when the soldiers left the camp, they organized and lined up both sides of the road outside the city and inside the city.

led two or three hundred personal soldiers, led Wen Huaguo and others to ride out of the city.

Hearing the arrival of Guan Duo's envoy, the generals' expressions were different. Wen Huaguo was very arrogant, as if nothing happened. He Guangxiu and Monk Li were trying to guess what kind of official Guan Duo would give Deng She, and Chen Paizi followed with a smile, saying a few words from time to time. Yang Wanhu was no different, he wasn't interested in these things at all. One of the Lu brothers was busy teaching apprentices to make firearms, and the other took the cavalry out of the city for training early in the morning, but Deng She didn't call them. Brother Huang Donkey began to be absent-minded, and later joined the discussion between Ha Guangxiu and Monk Li.

Walking out of the city to the north, the return of the rangers along the way continues. Twenty miles, fifteen miles, and ten miles away, I saw a military horse, waving a big banner, rolling dust and soil. There are two sides to the flag, one high and the other low. The high book: "Pingzhangguan of Liaoyang Province of the Great Song Dynasty", and the low book: "Shangdu Wing Marshal Mansion Manages the Army's Thousand Household Money".

The high flag represents the messenger; The low flag should be the military flag of this military horse.

The people jumped off their horses, and hundreds of soldiers behind them lined up and raised flags to welcome them. Deng She called one person to meet the report, and said that Deng She, a hundred households in the two cities, went out of the city to greet him. Hong Jixun whispered: "Don't say anything, don't do anything." Listen to him and watch him do it. "He's different from Dunsher. Deng She is regarded as the old department of Guan Duo, but he first voted for Liaoyang, and Liaoyang did not want it; Now that it is easy to get the land of six cities, he wants to do great things, so he naturally refuses to give it up.

Grabbing land is cloudy, and he is not a malicious guess. In the rebel army, not to mention those who do not belong to each other, even in the same department, it is not uncommon for them to compete for mergers and acquisitions.

Deng She didn't say a word and smiled. He stood at the front with a whole bunch of armor. The cavalry on the opposite side galloped closer, and the forward Baihu gave an order, and the horse stopped. The front army turned away, the banner was like a forest, and two people, one in front of the other and one behind, slowly drove their horses out.

There is a person in front of him who is about thirty, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, and a few sparse wisps of beard. A pair of eyes, turning flexibly, walked in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. He laughed, dismounted in advance from a distance of dozens of steps, and said from afar: "There is labor to greet you, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." General Deng is too polite, he can't write two songs in one stroke, his own family, not outside! Ha ha. ”

Deng She hurriedly stepped forward, lifted his armor skirt, and was about to kneel. The man stopped him and said, "Please get up, please get up." When he came, Guan Pingzhang specially confessed that in order to commend the general's loyalty and bravery, all courtesies were waived. Grabbing Deng She's hand, looking up and down, he exclaimed, "What a hero!" What a young hero! After more than a month, a lot of country has been laid. Compared with the general, Xiaosheng is really ashamed. I grew a beard in vain, and I lived to be a dog for decades! ”

The generals behind Deng She burst out laughing. He tilted his head, and looked at Deng She's shoulder, the first to catch his eye on Wenhuaguo. Ouch, lost Deng She's hand, turned around, and looked at it: "This old man is strong and strong, dragon and horse spirit, ouch, a good tiger general." He asked, "Ask the Daimyo?" Without waiting for Wen Huaguo to speak, he said, "Don't say it, wait for Xiaosheng to guess!" ”

He flicked his beard twice, clapped his hands, and exclaimed, "I thought of it!" General Deng's good news wrote: In the night battle of the camp, there is a general who stands alone and turns the tide; Nine attacks and nine distances, guarding like a rock, although facing tens of millions of people and not moving, can be called a tiger's courage. Those who are brave and brave will not be able to have non-tigers! …… It must be this man. He looked left and right triumphantly and asked, "Is Xiaosheng's guess right?" ”

It was only at this time that Deng She found an opportunity to speak, and said: "The envoy's eyes are like torches, and he can guess at the moment. ”

Judging from his outward appearance, this messenger does not resemble a scheming character. The words are gushing. But Dunshe didn't dare to take it lightly. Regardless of whether his character is really like this, or pretending, Deng She has done his duty. Although Guan Duo exempted him from all courtesies, he still bowed respectfully: "The last general greets the envoy." ”

The man pulled Deng She up, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Speaking of his own family, the general is still so polite." If you do this again, Xiao Shengke will pat his ass and leave! "Hehe smiled," Do you still want the general's appointment?" Be careful that I don't give it away! Ha ha. ”

He's a self-cook! The ability to gag is really good. Deng She couldn't cry or laugh, saw him pat his head, and sighed again, as if he remembered something, turned around, pulled the military general who was with him over, and said: "Look at Xiaosheng's memory, he only cares about talking to the general, and he forgets to introduce it." …… This one, Guan Pingzhang's favorite general, is famous and terrifying,...... Qian Qianhu. ”

This person Deng She knows it, and Brother Huang Donkey also knows it. Everyone was originally from the cavalry battalion. Every time there was a large-scale military meeting that day, Deng San always took Deng She with him, and he accompanied him outside the door and saw this person. His name is Qian Shide.

Busy stepped forward to salute, and Qian Shide returned the salute. and Brother Huang Donkey exchanged two words together. The official inspection of the messenger's letter seal was not unpleasant. Deng She respectfully led forward, and the group entered the city. Qian Shide's military horses did not enter the city, and were temporarily stationed outside the city. When the camp in the city is cleaned up, someone will meet the arrangement.

Seeing the welcoming soldiers inside and outside the Leh Gate, the envoy Yao Haogu was full of praise: "Tiger Ben! Tiger Ben! At first glance, it is a battle-hardened brave and sharp. Tsk, the division of tigers and wolves, full of murderous spirit! Ouch, this spiritual leader, look at it, look at it, I don't have to say it! The men are brave, the armor is sharp, and the ordnance is also excellent. …… Qian Qianhu, Xiaosheng, compared to your elite iron horse, it is on par. ”

Thousands of people are selected for selection, which is far better than ordinary nature. Qian Shide said: "What the adults said is true. The good soldiers led by General Deng are admired and admired. ”

Deng She was modest and humble, and Yao Haogu was solemn: "It's not a lie, it comes from the bottom of my heart." "After passing the city gate, looking back, the afternoon sun reflects the light of the gun, dazzling; He praised from the bottom of his heart, "The sword halberd is like a fine willow." ”

fine willow, the camp of the Han general Zhou Yafu; The emperor wanted to enter the camp, but he couldn't do it without an order. At first glance, he seems to be praising Dunshe's army for its discipline; When I think about it, it seems to have something else.

What does he mean by giving this parable at this time?

——

1. Let go.

Long-distance race walking. Every year, the government will come forward and organize the release of Meng Yuan. "The imperial dynasty is noble by the red (that is, the fast foot), every year to try its foot strength, the name is to let go. …… At three o'clock, he traveled one hundred and eighty miles until the front of the royal palace, and said that the prayer would end. ”

The nobles wear uniform clothing, "bell coat red hat", "red handkerchief" baotou, eye-catching. Suzuki is a bell tied to the body, and when it walks, it makes a sound so that it can be heard by those around it. The goal is to get others out of the way and make it easier to walk.

2. Corner counter.

Also known as sumo, also called wrestling. It has a long history in China.

There are two kinds of Mengyuan horns, one is the Mongolian horn and the other is the Han people. The Mongols liked this activity very much, and Yuan Wuzong ascended the throne, "commanding the Gongwei directly to make Ma Moushajiao resist repeated victories, and grant Pingzhang political affairs". Pingzhang political affairs, from a product.

The Han people have a long tradition of Jiaojiao. Meng Yuan once "detained" Jiangnan "sumo wrestlers", and the wrestlers were probably professional sumo wrestlers. The folk corner contest is often held at temple fairs and is the finale. "Sumo wrestling" was popular at the time, and you had to pay tuition. The Imperial Observatory believed that this was a "ferocious technique" that would make "customs unruly", and the government repeatedly adopted strict measures to ban it. However, the effect is limited.

3. Shoot willows and smash.

Shooting willows and striking is not only a competitive activity, but also a "martial arts skill". In the miscellaneous drama "The Story of Valve Reading and Dancing and Shooting Willows and Hammering Pills", the two martial artists will distinguish between the high and low martial arts by shooting willows and smashing them.

Willow shooting: With wicker, the contestants ride on horses and shoot them with arrows, and the winner wins. What was inherited was the customs of Liao and Jin.

Strike: i.e. polo.

It arose in the Tang Dynasty, and was still popular in the Yuan Dynasty.
