Zhang Ji'er's secret report was quickly sent to the Wenhua Army.

The total number of military horses cited by Wenhua Guo was 26,700, 25,000 reinforcements, more than 1,000 Guo Conglong's cavalry, and hundreds of follow-up ancestors' old infantry soldiers. Unlike Zhang'er's troops, Zhang'er's march route was south-west, while his march route was roughly along the coastline to the west. When Zhang Ji'er's army reported for duty, he had just passed the glue and traveled to the area of Changyi.

Glue is a very old river. The eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula is also known as the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the so-called "Jiaodong" refers to the Jiaolai River. The northern end of the Jiaolai River is the glue.

During the reign of Yuan Shizu, a canal was dug here, connecting the two sections of the north and south of the Jiaolai River, and opening the new river. At its peak, the scale of Cao Yun was quite sixty percent of that of Cao Yun in the south of the Yangtze River. There are tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers on the river, thousands of ships, and hundreds of thousands of stones of rice transported every year. However, due to the cost of too much, it only ran for a few years and was discarded. But the scale still exists, and during the Taiping period, it is also like a cloud, and business travel is very lively. In today's troubled times, even though Mao Gui and Wang Shicheng have successively operated, they still often use this way to transport grain, but compared with before, it has withered a lot after all.

What's more, the recent battle of Yidu has dragged on for nearly two months, and the fighting has not subsided. When Wenhuaguo crossed the river, it was dozens of miles away and near, and it was rarely crowded.

Changyi is also a famous city. Its city is not large, only a few miles in radius. But if you want to trace history, you can go back more than 1,000 years. At the end of Qin, Liu Bang had a famous general named Peng Yue, who was as famous as Han Xin and Yingbu, and was later named King of Liang. He is a native of Changyi. Sima Qian praised it: "Although it is cheap, it has swept thousands of miles, and the south is called lonely, and the blood is heard of on the day of victory." "Worthy of Qilu heroic.

Liu Bang fought here. When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty arrived, during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the famous general Zhou Yafu attacked the Liang State, and also stationed troops here. After the country was removed, Shanyang County was changed, and Changyi was governed. To the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is also the place where Yanzhou is governed. Lü Bu and Cao Cao fought for Yanzhou, and they were also stationed in Shanyang.

Shandong Qilu famous country, since ancient times the land of four wars, this is really good. Walk to a random place, and the ground you may step on is once the ancient battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. In fact, it's not just Shandong. The Chinese civilization has a long history, looking at the north and south, regardless of the east and west, countless famous cities and towns, often thousands of years. During this period, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been produced, and people with lofty ideals. I don't know how many stories have been romantic, or generous, or famous, or long since annihilation.

However, counting carefully, it is fascinating, looking at the green mountains and white waters, but it is also unbearable.

Later generations have a song that says: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. "The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name. People live for a lifetime, in just dozens of spring and autumn periods, how to spend their lives, whether to go with the flow, or adhere to the faith, even if there are talented people sometimes inevitably at a loss. This is indeed a question worth pondering.

Of course, ascending the heights and hanging the ancients is for the literati and the sauchers. Wen Huaguo was born as a horse thief, but he was not interested in it at all. He also has advisers and copywriters in his account, many of whom are from Liaodong. Since coming to Shandong, in addition to doing office work, despite the urgency of the war, there are still a few copywriters who are very idle to go around to hang their voices, come back to the camp, and then tell stories endlessly, as if to show their talents.

Wen Huaguo has something in his heart, but where is he in the mood to listen to them talk about the past and the present at this time? Avoid it. said to the soldiers in private: "No wonder the lord told me after drinking last time that Confucianism is divided into many categories, some are true and some are false." For example, Mr. Yao can be described as a true Confucian. Like these, the sour and rotten Confucianism can smell 800 miles when they smell the wind. I don't look at when it is, where are you still talking about war and things on paper. Outrageous! ”

Since Pan Xian'er betrayed Pan Cheng, Deng She has tightened control over the staff of the generals in the army. The few copywriters under the command of Wenhua Guo were all uniformly assigned by the province. He has no power to appoint or dismiss, and as long as the copywriters do not make mistakes in their official duties, they have no right to govern. And Wen Huaguo, although he is illiterate, has a lot of respect for scholars. It can also be regarded as responding to Dunsher's call. Therefore, even if he couldn't get used to it, he complained in private, and on the surface, he still pretended to be a corporal of Lixian. At most, I don't have much contact with those copywriters.

Deng She's military law: Most of the generals are illiterate, and the correspondence between official documents and military newspapers depends on copywriting. Therefore, if there is a failure in military operations due to errors in the explanation of official documents, the crime of the paper case will not be punished by the generals. Therefore, I am not afraid that the copywriters will neglect their duties because of their great interest.

The soldier smiled: "I just want to attract the attention of adults and get promoted and make a fortune." ”

According to Deng She's military law, although the copywriter and the generals belong to two systems, they have the meaning of mutual supervision. But the copywriter is in the army, and if he wants to be promoted, he is actually inseparable from the praise of the commander in chief. Naturally, the Lord will be at fault, and the copywriting is secretly reported, which can also be regarded as a way to be promoted.

It's just that Wen Huaguo is the second person in Haidong, with a high and powerful position, and it is not easy to count on his mistakes. In contrast, the first method is more secure. Wenhuaguo's pro-soldiers are not bad, those few copywriters who hang the ancients everywhere are really drunkards, and they are not playing the scenery. It was just an opportunity to show their knowledge, hoping to attract the appreciation of Wenhuaguo.

Wen Huaguo's face is honest and simple, but he is actually not a person in his heart. He can do anything to get rid of the embroidered pillow with a night pot, but how can he look down on them just because of a few "sour and rotten Confucians"? But it was also those copywriters who didn't know people, and they didn't expect that they would lift a stone and hit their own feet. There are some surprises.

Putting aside these trivial matters, Wen Huaguo returned to the truth, instructed his soldiers to call the staff and copywriters over, handed them the military report sent by Zhang Xiaoer, and asked, "What did Lao Zhang's military report say?" ”

The copywriter took it, read it, and replied, "Lord Hui Pingzhang." Zhang Shuai said: The Tartars set up an ambush outside the Yidu City, and the scouts on the other side found out that there were about 20,000 people. ”

"That's all?" Wen Huaguo stretched out his head and leaned over, he clearly remembered that there were two or three lines written in the military newspaper, how could there be only a few words? He glanced at the copywriter suspiciously. The copywriter added: "I haven't had time to finish my humble duties yet." There was another word later, Zhang Shuai said: 'Chahan is cunning and cunning, and he is secretive in his use of soldiers. The matter of the ambush of the soldiers, our department found out too easily, and the general expected that there might be fraud in this. Reading this, the copywriter raised his head, "Zhang Shuai asked Lord Pingzhang to make a clear decision." ”

"Where's down there?"

"There's no more down there."

Wen Huaguo recognized this copywriter, and it was the one who relied on Gao Hanggu, nodded, and said, "There is Mr. Lao." Since there's no more down there, go out. The copywriter was stunned. Wenhua National Road: "The battle on the battlefield has its own commander and the generals' plans. The responsibility of the gentleman is reciprocated in official documents. Since the bottom is gone, please go and prepare the paper and ink first, and if the marshal has a reply, then trouble Mr. Luckily? ”

The copywriter bowed and withdrew.

Those who stayed behind laughed. "There is no more below", is an allusion. When Moon Hwa-kook was in Pyongyang, he often used this language to tease Ha Kwang-so. For example, at the banquet, he persuaded Ha Guangxiu to pass the pass. When He Guangxiu finished the pass, Wenhua Congress pretended not to know, and asked him specifically: "Is there anything else down there?" Ha Guangxiu often replied, "There is no more." He Guangxiu treats Deng She's confidants like Wen and Chen, but he is also good-tempered, and he didn't understand at first, but later he understood and was not annoyed. The generals laughed, he also laughed, laughing at himself: "It is also a blessing to be able to win the happiness of all the princes." Wen Huaguo's old trick was repeated, and he used it to tease the copywriter, and sure enough, everyone who was familiar with this allusion laughed.

After laughing for a while, Wen Huaguo said: "The red-faced man is brave and strategic, he has been in Guanbei for a long time, and he has never had a half-trace of bad pool." In the previous battle of Gaowangshan, he was also prescient. Ladies and gentlemen, he thinks that the old thief of Chahan is suspicious, what is your opinion? Zhang Yi'er's face was red, so Wen Huaguo called him "red-faced". There is no contempt, it is a nickname for treating people close to you.

"I don't think so."

"Oh?"

It was a staff member who had been following Wen Huaguo for a long time. Moon Hwa is in Pyongyang, and this person often gives advice, and he is very much relied on by Moon Hwakook. But it's a return, and the name is called longevity. In the eighteenth year of Zhizheng, he followed his father Chesun to avoid chaos and enter Goryeo. Later, Deng Shede Haidong recruited virtuous and virtuous people from all over the world to enter Pyongyang, and his people were also among the recruits. Deng She personally tried his talents and found that he was both civil and military, and he knew how to do civil affairs and the art of war, so he was a rare talent. Therefore, it was allocated to Wenhua Guo as his arm.

Qi Changshou said: "The so-called one hundred secrets and one sparse. Although the old thief of Chahan used his troops to be treacherous, our army was not so popular. To err is human? Therefore, he thought that although Zhang Shuai had discovered his ambush army, whether there was fraud in it was still up to debate. Unassertive. ”

"It makes sense, it makes sense."

Another man came out and said, "The last general thinks that what Lord Qi said is too suspicious. Everyone turned their eyes to look, and the name of the person who spoke was Zhang Renfu. Originally a merchant in Goryeo, he was a "Togang", that is, the head of the merchants. Due to the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, Goryeo Cao was unable to get through. He helped the Yeojo transport the lease of Jeolla Province. Deng She went to Pyongyang, and everyone was Han Chinese, so it was natural for him to switch to Deng She. It was first under the command of Liu Yang's navy, and soon after, it was transferred to Pyongyang's infantry and is now a thousand households. The commanders were all Goryeo soldiers after the reorganization. Although this person's record is very ordinary, because he has traveled south and north, he has traveled to many places, and he still has some vision and knowledge. As a businessman, he changed to join the army, and he also had the courage to do so.

Wen Huaguo listened attentively and said: "You come to Japan, you come to Japan." ”

Qi Changshou coughed and reminded, "My lord." It's not a day, that word is pronounced. ”

"Oh! Yeah. You come to say, you come to say. ”
