Chapter 259: My Country 34 (Second Update)
Zuo Mu's height is estimated to be about 180 cm, his appearance is dignified, he likes to wear a sword at his waist on weekdays, and the scabbard hilt is inlaid with many precious gems. It's okay to make an appointment with three or five sour people, and when I get drunk, I come to a drunk and pick up the lamp to look at the sword, and I look quite a bit of a celebrity and a gentleman.
Zuo Mu is a famous son in the capital, and he also has a lot of fans.
Compared with the Confucian scholars who can't pick their shoulders and can't lift their hands, Zuo Mu looks really tall, and he always feels that he is an all-rounder of Yunwen and Yunwu, so he has become the rebellious general this time.
Before leaving, my cousin said that Wanlin County is a well-known poor county in the whole of Chu, and that poor and sour county is reluctant to even use a government official on weekdays, and only three or five people who have a good relationship on weekdays are used as a façade, just to be able to mix bowls of rice to eat.
The so-called rebellious general is just a cousin who forced him to ask the emperor in order to support his family. As long as you casually go to the Xida camp and order a few hundred people, rush to Wanlin County to get the bold magistrate, and then come back and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to present the award.
It's a gilded journey.
The easiest question to send points since the establishment of Da Chu.
How much the Chu Emperor attaches importance to military generals now is obvious to all.
Because under normal circumstances, the war will not affect the scope of the capital, so most of the children of some families in the Xida camp are generally sons in law who cannot inherit the title or concubines who are ambitious and capable and unwilling to be mediocre, in short, speculative rich sons looking for opportunities to mix with qualifications.
As soon as I heard that this trip is basically a public-funded tour, not only can you go to Wanlin County to fight the autumn breeze in the open, but you can also make a small name when you come back, those pampered sons and brothers suddenly blew up the camp, you send two jars of wine, I find a gem to give a gift to Zuo Mu, just want to be in the sightseeing group! Get a spot in the rebel team.
Zuo Mu is naturally smiling, but he can't see his eyes, and he has a queen sister who is a cow. However, Zuo Mu still kept an eye on it, first, the gift-giver was too enthusiastic, reluctant to push it out, and secondly, after all, it was the first time to go out, and now the world is not very peaceful, so he felt that it was safer to bring more people on the road, so it was clear that there should be a team of about 500, and he made a huge team of 3,000 people.
Anyway, everyone who went was there to ask for a name, and no one cared about money, so this team was almost armed to the teeth.
Zuo Mu could only mobilize the infantry of the Western Battalion, but for the sake of face and comfort, none of those people would go on foot. So the team of 3,000 infantry actually appeared with nearly 4,000 horses.
Although almost none of them are well-trained war horses, after all, no one goes there to fight, this is a catwalk, of course, the more gorgeous and cool, the cooler the better!
In fact, only at the very beginning, everyone was still giggling and laughing, running out for a long time, the sons and brothers complained, many people regretted that they should not only bring horses for the sake of face, they should get a carriage, this thousand riders walked together, although the smoke and dust rolled along the way looked spectacular, but after a long time, not only the breath was dusty, but even the body was dusty, extremely unsightly, affecting their glorious image.
Because Zuo Mu is a rebellious general, he didn't complain too much, and he had to keep his compulsion.
After marching for three days in a row, he was also a little unbearable, feeling that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and he was on horseback for a long time, his legs were wide open, many people had thigh muscle strain, and the posture of the group when he dismounted and walked was a little ...... Weird.
Anyway, the emperor didn't set a date, so everyone found a town where the drought was not very serious, repaired it for a day, and bought a lot of food and dry food before continuing on the road.
Lin Xi and the others waited for a long time, and finally waited for this team after 10 days.
Pass down the order and let Meixian directly let people in.
Zuo Mu and his entourage walked through Meixian, their hearts were a little shocked, all the way, almost everywhere were broken walls, only this Meixian County looked unusually neat, the sturdy suspension bridge, the city gate that can accommodate eight horses and reins to move forward, the city wall seems to have been well repaired not long ago, and it seems that the scale is about to catch up with the capital.
The only pity is that the entire city of Meixian County is empty.
Along the way, there are not no empty cities like this, but most of them are small towns, and the entire county is empty like this or the first one.
Childe's buddies inevitably sighed for a while, a catastrophe fell from the sky, ten rooms and nine emptiness, even the prosperous towns in the past are like this now, Da Chu is completely injured, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his former appearance.
Not far from Meixian is Wanlin County.
Hearing that there are fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, fresh fish and meat, and water that does not need to be precipitated to drink, everyone can't help but talk about it, and even the speed of the march can't help but speed up a lot.
Walking under the city gate, Zuo Mu grabbed the reins and shouted to the closed city gate: "I am Zuo Mu, the rebellious general who is long lived, quickly put down the drawbridge, and tied up the Wanlin County Order to come to see me!" ”
The suspension bridge was really obediently put down, the scale of Wanlin County Chengchi was obviously not as good as Meixian, only four people were allowed to move forward side by side, but what was strange was that this was actually a rare city within a city, and there was another higher city wall standing more than 100 meters away from the city wall.
And the gates of the wall were still closed.
Zuo Mu was confused by the second monk, what is Wanlin County doing?
When they entered the first wall, they all crowded together in front of the second closed gate, which the children of these families had almost never seen before.
There was a whisper that thought he was clever and explained: "Presumably this wall is to prevent the mob from the constant influx of people." ”
After all, only Wanlin County is still as green as ever, as if it has not been affected by the drought.
"How so?" Someone asked.
The other person also saw what the doorway was, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wang is right, this place is indeed to prevent the mob from pouring in at will, you see, this first wall is obviously newly built, and the color and materials are far from the second one. ”
Everyone looked at it according to their words, and if it was so, they couldn't help but admire the sharp eyes and meticulous observation of the person who spoke.
The man who spoke realized that something extraordinary had happened, and arched his hand with a triumphant face.
Zuo Mucai didn't bother to analyze these inconsequential details with his subordinates, raised his head and shouted again at the city gate, ordered the door to be opened and released, and asked the Wanlin County Order to tie his hands, so as not to make more effort, and when the time comes, he can still give him a few kind words when he sees Banzai.
The answer to him was the sound of "crunch" and the churning of the tooth-sore iron cable, and with the sound of "clang", the city gate in front of him did not open, but the city gate behind him was closed!
