Chapter 70 Anling Wu Yong (New Book Collection, Recommendation)
Bei'an County, with a special geographical location, is as its name suggests, in the northernmost part of Anning, adjacent to the Beiban border.
Called Bei'an County is a beautiful yearning for this city by the king of tranquility in the past dynasties, hoping that the northernmost part of the king of tranquility can be safe and prosperous, but the reality and the ideal are often diametrically opposed, where bandits breed, alien harassment, not only is it not safe, but it has become the most headache for the king of tranquility!
Although Bei'an County is extremely dangerous, but high risk means high reward, as long as he can survive, without lack of money, Su Jun can recruit troops without fear and develop his own power openly.
Although Su Zhongqing does not please King Anning, but the prince is the son of the world after all, no matter what, it is his own son, in order to appease Su Zhongqing's emotions, King Anning crowned him as the general of Zhenbei, and has a military position, even if he is a person with a higher rank than Su Jun in northern Xinjiang, he can't think about what he can do.
Yan Qinghua is just a woman, and she used to be just a lady in the mountains and wilderness, but she is such a person, but she has ambitions and ambitions far beyond ordinary men, she is not willing to be comfortable, she is willing to rely on Su Jun, with her own wisdom, she believes that the northern Xinjiang must be the initial point for them to take off.
Not long after passing through the gorge, and after traveling for a few days, you can see the outline of Yong'an Fengdu in the distance, Su Jun's narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at Fengdu, where there is his wife, and there are the seven county lords he thinks about day and night.
Yan Qinghua is so smart, her mind is as careful as a needle, how can she not see through Su Jun's little thoughts, she came to Su Jun's side, and said in a somewhat sour tone:
"It won't be long before the prince of the world can return here openly and marry the little lover of your dreams."
Su Jun glanced at Yan Qinghua, looked back at the brothers who were following him, shrugged helplessly, and nodded undeniably.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Su Jun and his party did not dare to delay at all on the road, rushed all the way to the northwest, and encountered the Yongan official army who surrounded and suppressed the thieves in Tsing Yi.
After another seven or eight days, I finally came to the junction of Yong'an and Anning, Anling Pass. Strictly speaking, Anling is not a pass, it can only be said to be a small fortress between Yong'an and Anning, and there are not many Anning troops stationed in peacetime, probably only a few thousand.
Anling's guard was named Wu Yong, a young man in his early thirties, tall and slender, dark-skinned, and a pair of small but bright eyes.
Anling is the only way for Anning to Yong'an, Su Zhongqing went here, although the two did not have too much contact at that time, but Su Zhongqing's appearance, Wu Yong still knew, at this time when he saw Su Jun appear outside Anling, Wu Yong did not interrogate at all, directly opened the checkpoint, and welcomed Su Jun and his party in, and the meaning of flattery and flattery is self-evident.
"Shizi, how are you doing in Yong'an these days, since you went out of Anling, Xia Guan has been worried about you in his heart."
The position of the fortress guard is not lower than Su Zhongqing, but Wu Yong deliberately lowered his posture, and his very flattering words made Su Jun can't help but get goosebumps, and he thought in his heart:
"This guard looks dark and doesn't slip away, and his words are flattering in addition to compliments, I really don't know how he got to this position!"
Su Jun shook his right hand, closed the gilded fan in his hand, and walked in with a swagger, Wu Yong didn't feel embarrassed, he chuckled twice on the side, and followed closely behind him.
The city wall of Anling Pass is not tall, many places are in disrepair, and it looks a little old, but the living conditions of the soldiers in the pass are very good, there should be a lot of facilities, and the weapons and armor are all brand new, and they are usually spotlessly clean, which shows that the relationship between An Ning and Yong'an is really good, and there is basically no war.
There are no private houses in Anling, all the military barracks, the mansions of the guards are luxurious and magnificent, and the spirit of the guards is much stronger than the soldiers of Yong'an, and An Ning is really much stronger than Yong'an, and it is not a loss that it is one of the best existences in the six countries of Jinxi.
Su Jun and the others were greeted by Wu Yong as if they were in the house, and the guests and hosts were seated, Su Jun did not have the slightest polite words, and said straight to the point:
"We were ambushed by local bandits in Yong'an, although there were not many losses, but the armor was already in tatters, I need fifteen hundred sets, weapons and equipment, can you help me with this?"
Wu Yong was shocked, hurriedly turned over, carefully insisted on Su Jun, and saw that there were no obvious injuries on Su Jun's body, so he said righteously:
"The prince commanded, dare not obey his orders! The weapons and armor are all in the warehouse, all brand new and unused, the prince wants, I can call someone to pick it up at any time"
"It's just that Yong'an's group of rice buckets almost put the prince in danger, it's really angry with me, the lower officials will order all the soldiers and horses, kill all the thieves and kill the thieves to avenge the prince?"
Wu Yong has been stationed in Anling Pass all the year round, and this is only the second time he has seen Su Zhongqing, but Su Zhongqing's name, he has long heard that if he doesn't learn and have no skills, he will repay him, a typical second generation official, as long as he coaxes him happy, is he still worried that he will not have a chance to leave this place where birds don't?
"I don't have to worry about the bandits, I have my own arrangements, my father ordered me to go to the north as soon as possible, the matter of weapons and equipment is not late, you can arrange it as soon as possible"
Su Jun is also very helpless, obviously this Anling guard knows Su Zhongqing, but Su Jun doesn't know what his name is, a general, sooner or later he will be exposed, or get supplies and weapons as soon as possible, and leave as soon as possible is the right thing.
Wu Yong is obviously an expert in observing words and feelings, and he doesn't know why this second lord suddenly changed his sex, this horse seems to have been slapped on the horse's leg, but he is still unwilling, and laughs dryly:
"I'll order someone to prepare supplies and weapons for the prince, and you can rest for a while in the mansion now."
After dinner, Su Jun carefully watched the map of An Ning in the room, and Yan Qinghua came in from outside with the fruit before the meal, took one for Su Jun, and ate it herself.
"What I asked you to check, have you checked clearly?" Su Jun ate the orange fruit in his hand, looked at the map, and asked without raising his head.
"Today's reception of us is the Anling guard, Wu Yong, born in the army, has no background in the court, because he is good at the left and right, no one can offend, and no one likes it, but he is brave and good at fighting but only seeks the position of an Anling guard, and he has been doing it for five or six years, and the reason why he spared no effort to tie up the prince is to transfer him back to the capital through your relationship"
"This Wu Yong is very greedy, he has become the general of Anling Pass at a young age, and he is also a high-powered, young and promising, he is not satisfied?"
"You don't know, although General Anling has some rights, the difficulties are also well known to everyone", seeing Su Jun's blank look, Yan Qinghua continued to explain:
"Now there are two positions where An Ning has real power and no one wants to grab it, and the first place is, of course, the head of Bei'an County in Taidang County, because it is adjacent to Beiban, and the sphere of influence in Bei'an County is often harassed and threatened by the Beiban cavalry.
In just a few years, the head of Bei'an County is like a leek, changed one stubble after another, either killed or abandoned, no one can do it for a long time, I really don't know what King Anning means by arranging the son to Bei'an County? Is it trying to push his own son into the fire pit? ”
