10 Exploring the bag to get the enemy's head and making new friends (1)
Hongqin's words made the world's attention begin to shift to Lizhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The battle situation in Zhaozhou affects a time and a place, and the appearance of that person is likely to affect the long-term.
Yun Han was not liked by Xianlutang, but the Ninth National Congress could not agree on our handling of him, and it was difficult to implement it if it was dealt with openly, so there was a surprise change in Xixi. The Xixi Shocking Incident, because it was carried out in secret, could not see the light. Later, Zhong Kang entered Beijing in the name of suppressing bandits. Invisibly, Yun Han has become a positive person who has been victimized. The one who launched the assassination is naturally the villain.
Some forces are extremely reluctant, but they can't help it. Its original intention was to let Dongzhou, which has more and more signs of ****, return to orthodoxy. But the ending backfired, leading to chaos in the world. And the process is so disgraceful that neither the participants nor the bystanders, the people in power at the pinnacle, do not want the truth to be revealed.
So although his status is not good, his words are of great significance, after all, he is the only surviving indirect witness to the Xixi Shock. If he says something, whether it is true or not, someone will believe it. If he used the strength of the ghost in his heart, it would be difficult for Xianlutang's reputation not to be tarnished. Therefore, the parties had to deal with the matter first. Fortunately, not many people know about it, and early contact is conducive to controlling the situation. But when it comes to Liu and Liu, it makes people feel a little restrained. In any case, the exercisers had to rush to Lizhou.
Yun Fan thinks that the troubles of the world have nothing to do with him, and he still does his own thing. resisted the urge to make a detour to Shishan County to kill Dong Xin and Ge Shun, and led the team straight to Changxing Mansion, because the supplies were already stretched. Three or four hundred people, plus livestock, ate what the horses chewed, and the amount of grain and grass consumed was not a small amount. Poor and remote, procurement is inconvenient. Money is not a problem, there is a lot of wealth accumulated in the cottage, Yun Fan himself also brought a hundred and ten amethyst, and if he took out an amethyst coin, it was worth one million gold coins. In normal times, a pound of rice is only two or three gold coins. After the war, prices skyrocketed, and a pound of rice was only ten gold coins. The problem is that the farmers and hunters in the countryside do not have much grain in storage, not to mention the chaos of the war, and the grain can last their lives more than money, and there are very few who are willing to sell. It is not easy to rob people when they are no longer engaged in the profession of robbers, and they can only get to the larger towns as soon as possible to buy enough grain and grass.
The team of dragging families with mouths, dusty faces, and messy clothes, like refugees, tossed and turned for more than a month, and finally approached Changxing City. Needless to say, the hardships along the way, the key is the drag of the elderly, the weak and the disabled, which is one of the reasons why some people want to abandon them in the first place. Coupled with Yun Fan's unique concept - food gives priority to satisfying these burdens in the eyes of others, which makes everyone secretly complain. Slowly realize how difficult it is for the old and the old, the young and the young.
But Yun Fan leads by example, and others can only do it. People can be forbearing, cattle and horses can eat grass, but the second leopard is gone, and several times he bared his teeth at the cattle and horses in the trailer, and was beaten and scolded by Yun Fan. Seeing that there was no way, the second elder was ready to take the two leopards to act alone and find some wild food. But once Yun Fan was out of sight, the phantom refused to leave and insisted on running back to Yun Fan's side. It wasn't until Yun Fan communicated with the two of them repeatedly, clarified his itinerary, and then deliberately 'disappeared' for a short time, and then appeared in a preset location, so that the second leopard could leave with peace of mind for a day or two.
After a full meal, the leopard always had to bring some back to Yun Fan. What made Yun Fan laugh and cry was that sometimes it wasn't all wild beasts, and occasionally there were domestic animals. I want to say anything, but I have to hold back, I can't make the second old and second leopard hungry for the sake of my own moral cleanliness. I laughed at myself and wondered if I was gradually adapting to society.
But even if you can't force others, you will still try your best to keep your heart. Yun Fan gave all the meat brought back by the phantom to the women and children, especially the several women and young children who were still breastfeeding, as well as Cheng Xia's children. After these two lovely children were rescued, they have been in a state of self-isolation, even if the 'strange' mother loves them in every way, they are still frightened and uneasy from time to time. I lost my mother at the age of three, and I have almost zero memories of my mother, and I am lucky to have witnessed the tragic situation of my father being dismembered by a random blade at the age of eight. Then he was forcibly detained, and the fright he received can be imagined. In just eight years of life, there are many more complexities and pains than most adults.
Yun Fan took pity on his misfortune and personally served as a psychiatrist, soothing the soul of Erxiao, and at the same time instructing other children of the same age to play with them more. Consciously or unconsciously, he plays the role of a father and elder brother. Erxiao's psychological trauma was slowly filled by the love of Cheng Xia and Yun Fan. So, under Cheng Xia's joy to see it and secretly instigated, Yun Fan had two more little 'tails', a pair of twin brothers and sisters named Wei Sheng and Wei Qing, who followed behind him almost inch by inch.
The redundant team just dragged on. In the hinterland of Lizhou, such a large non-commercial and non-military team has naturally attracted the attention of people with intentions, and the secret guards scattered on the periphery have repeatedly reported that someone is snooping. Yun Fan ordered Le Xiang and Peng Wei not to hurt people casually, and they did not need to be expelled. This mountain bandit team, after Yun Fan was reorganized and trained according to the impression of the army in his previous life, the discipline has been significantly improved, and the command is much smoother, no longer like a swarm of bees, but the advance and retreat are coordinated to a certain extent, and the combat effectiveness is naturally greatly improved. If you count Yun Fan, Er Lao and Er Leopard, it is not something that anyone can easily shake.
Having self-confidence does not mean that there is no trouble, the city is still on the horizon, but the road is blocked. A regular army formed into a formation of geese wings lined up, slowly pressing up. The dark guards of the peripheral Le Xiang and Peng Wei departments, the outer guards of the forward Mao Qin and the front of Wang had to shrink back. Tan Yuan and Chu Qiu hurriedly rushed to the front after giving Yun Fan a report. These things generally don't make the Lord go straight to the horse. Because the current rules of Dongzhou are that the main general has absolute authority, big and small matters are decided in one word, and there is no alternative command system, so once the main general has an accident, the whole army will be in chaos, which is the reason why Bai Lang was able to reverse the situation in Zhaozhou in one fell swoop after killing Yu Lian. So whenever something happens, the general is generally closely protected, like in ancient Chinese novels, the situation where the general goes head-to-head first is unique.
After all, Yun Fan has a young heart, and when he heard that there was a regular army in Lizhou in front of him, he wanted to see what similarities and differences they had with Zan Yu's Green Scale Guard. Holding the little 'tail' and walking forward, Chu Tao, who was temporarily the captain of the guard, immediately led someone to follow.
The officers and troops were getting closer and closer, and after the Tan Yuan arrived, they no longer retreated, and lined up to meet each other. As the distance decreases, the atmosphere becomes more and more oppressive and solemn. When Yun Fan quietly approached the front line, the two sides had not yet spoken. Suddenly, a sharp arrow came like a meteor.
In fact, this is also a vulgar practice in Dongzhou, where when two sides who do not know whether they are friends or enemies meet, the side that thinks they are stronger will often shoot an arrow warning to Liwei before the conflict occurs, and also test the effective distance of the attack. If the other side can catch the arrow, it can reverse the momentum. If you can't catch it, you can also block or avoid, but the momentum is much inferior. In order to avoid settling enemies for no reason, this arrow generally does not shoot at the other party's leader, but is biased to the side two or three feet, as for whether it will cause the death or injury of a small person, it is not within the scope of consideration of the heads of both sides.
The accident came so suddenly, and the sharp arrow was shooting in the direction of Yun Fan. At this time, there were still a few people in front of Yun Fan, and he had been talking to Wei Qing and Wei Sheng, and he didn't notice the changes in front. When Chu Tao screamed, the people in front of him had already dodged. The arrow is at most two or three meters away from Yun Fan. A terrifying feeling filled Yun Fan's mind for a moment, and he subconsciously copied it with his hand and held the arrow shaft tightly. The arrow stopped no more than ten centimeters away from Wei Qing's front door.
Originally, according to the procedure, the two parties could come forward to talk to each other at this time and explain their identities. But Yun Fan didn't understand these stinky rules, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about them. Looking at Wei Qing, who was so frightened, he was furious, and rubbed Wei Qing's head with his left hand, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you beat him." "Draw your pistol in your right hand, undo the safety, and aim at the most conspicuous person in the opposite camp." Bang', the man fell off his horse.
The people on his own side who were about to cheer Yun Fan's arrow kung fu were stunned for a while, looking at each other in amazement. There was a commotion in the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and after a while, like birds and beasts that had been scattered, they turned around and fled, and the smoke and dust stirred up rose into the sky. After a while, the smoke and dust cleared, and I saw the armor and equipment scattered all over the ground, and some remnants of soldiers who had been trampled and injured by their own side were struggling on the ground, and hundreds of soldiers had become a colony of ants in the distance.
Yun Fan was surprised, the two sides hadn't started fighting yet, how could hundreds of people flee inexplicably? I heard Yuan Nannan say to himself, "It's broken, it's bad, don't even think about going to the city to replenish supplies, it's important to run for your life quickly." After killing a captain, how could the governor of Changxing Mansion give up, it is estimated that the army will be killed soon. Then, whispers erupted, and everyone looked panicked.
Yun Fan knew that he seemed to be in trouble, but when he saw the frightened looks of the crowd, his heart was on fire, "I'm afraid of a bird!" Don't you see that those officers and soldiers are just a rabble? Senior Brother Chu, order to set up camp, all the guards are on strict alert, talk about Senior Brother, come with me. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Everyone was calmed down by Yun Fan's shouting, and there was a tall man on top of the sky falling, not to mention that there were two super forces. Tan Yuan hurriedly followed Yun Fan's footsteps. "How do you conclude that the deceased was a lieutenant?" Yun Fan must first solve the doubts in his heart.
Tan Yuan was a little stunned, Yun Fan's question was simple and childish, like asking an adult how many two plus three equals. Yun Fan saw Tan Yuan stammering, and didn't answer for a long time, thinking that he was guessing blindly, and he didn't like it in his heart, so he said coldly: "What? Don't want to say, or ......? ”
Tan Yuan was taken aback, and quickly replied: "No, no, no, I judged from the number of people on the other side." ”
"How many?" Yun Fan was still puzzled.
"Number of people!" Tan Yuan said, "The other party is about a guard. Immediately after the death of that man, the army broke up, and it can be seen that the one who died must be the supreme leader, so I think he must be the captain. ”
Yun Fan was still a little confused, "This ......, I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I don't know much about the military system, you tell me." He secretly hated Fenggu in his heart for being a guy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, why didn't he have these common senses in his memory, and he was embarrassed.
"Okay," Tan Yuan finally figured out why Yun Fan's question was so mentally retarded, "For hundreds of years, the military and political system in Dongzhou has hardly changed, and nine people are a team...... (See Chapter 3 of 'Longdan Calves'). In the past ten years, although various localities have become independent, the system seems to have followed the previous dynasty, and no one has changed it. However, heroes emerge in troubled times, and there are many martial artists who have been promoted, so there are not many full staff. That is to say, the number of subordinate organizations is almost less than nine. However, it is basically accurate that less than 10 people are in the army, less than 100 people are in the school, less than 1,000 people are guards, thousands are in the battalion, and more than 10,000 are counters. ”
"What does it have to do with the fact that a martial artist has been promoted more and is dissatisfied with the editor?"
"That's right, positions generally require corresponding martial arts. Lux can not hold an official position, the junior rank of the warrior can be the captain, the middle rank can be the captain, the senior rank of the warrior can be the captain, the junior and intermediate rank of the scholar can be the commander, the senior rank of the scholar can be the governor, and the governor must be the level of the spirit. These are just the regular requirements of officials at all levels, theoretically high-ranking martial artists can also hold low-level positions, but under normal circumstances, unless the title does not keep up, no high-ranking martial artist is willing to hold low-level positions. In the past few years, the knighthood of Xianlutang has not been so strict, but there are many people who hold high-level positions, and the establishment is not enough, so it has to be split. ”
"I see. But there's a new question, what does this have to do with knighthood? ”
"The title is a symbol of noble status recognized by Xianlutang. With the corresponding martial arts, you only have the qualifications to hold an official position, but you still can't do it without status. For example, bandits, slaves, etc., are not allowed to hold official positions. The Governor must be a Marquis and above, and then downward, with the lowest title of the Governor being the Earl, the Admiral being the Viscount, and the Captain being the Baron. Titles are not like martial arts, and it is not uncommon for high titles to hold low positions. ”
Yun Fan nodded, "In this way, the one who died must be the captain of the Jinshi rank." The admiral of Changxing Mansion who you are worried about may come to retaliate is just a low-level scholar with thousands of troops. But his thousands of troops shouldn't all be in Fucheng, right? As you mentioned, there is one guard in a county, so there are two or three guards in the city, and with your spiritual skills, what are you afraid of? ”
Tan Yuan's old face flushed, "Killing officials is a big deal." This is the hinterland of Lizhou, one is not good, maybe Lizhou will mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress, then ・・・・・・. "Tan Yuan himself can't go on, how can it be so easy to mobilize the army. As long as they do not openly rebel and conquer the city, Lizhou will never waste the people and money like this. What's more, although the battle on the front line in Wuzhou is not so fierce for the time being, it needs to be on high alert. Therefore, when the situation in Lizhou is unclear, it is impossible to transfer troops to besiege and kill them. Maybe I have been a bandit for a long time, and I have a natural fear of the officers and soldiers. Tan Yuan couldn't help but be embarrassed, a fifty-year-old person, who was strained, was actually inferior to the young master, a young man under twenty.
"Let's camp and wait for change," Yun Fan said lightly, "I almost injured Wei Qing, and it would be light for me to kill him as a captain." provoked me, and I slaughtered Admiral Changxing together. Oh, I saw that when the officers and soldiers were fleeing, some of the wounded fell to the ground by trampling, and you sent someone to treat and bandage the wounded, and those instruments were also put together. Tan Yuan didn't have the concept of equality in Yun Fan's heart, and secretly said angrily, just for the sake of a pariah's child, you almost got hurt, and you killed a nobleman on the other side, which is too domineering. Of course, I just thought about it in my heart, and I didn't dare to confide it, so as not to make Yun Fan unhappy.
After Tan Yuan left, Yun Fan suddenly noticed that the two little 'tails' behind him were clutching his clothes very tightly. In the past, I was just holding the corner of my clothes, but today I seem to be hugging me. Thinking that Erxiao was frightened, he squatted down and hugged the two Keling children to his chest, "Don't be afraid, my brother will protect you." ”
"Will my brother always protect us?" Wei Qing said weakly. "No, it won't." Yun Fan said. The two small bright eyes immediately turned from full of longing to sad tears. Yun Fan continued: "If you are by my side, of course my brother will protect you, but my brother has some very important things to deal with and may leave you for a while, so you must practice martial arts, protect yourself, and protect your mother." When you grow up, maybe my brother will rely on you to protect you. ”
"Hmm." Wei Qing nodded heavily, "I practice every day." Wei Sheng didn't show weakness, "Me too, I didn't cry when I broke my skin that day." After speaking, the two of them asked at the same time, "Brother, you have only been away for a little time, will you come back?" "Brother, will you teach us your magic spear?" Obviously, the two people have different priorities.
