Chapter 97: The official level crushes people to death
"Beast Praetorian Guard, what kind of troops is this?" Su An was stunned.
"Brother must not have heard of it, the Imperial Beast Praetorian Guard is one of the six secret forbidden armies established by the Beast Venerable Li Mu, and the military regulations of Dazhao stipulate that only officials above the fifth rank can know about their existence!"
He Shan's face was embarrassed, "And if you want to mobilize the Imperial Beast Praetorian Guard, you must meet two conditions, first, hold the marching tiger talisman, and second, you must have the actual authorization given by His Majesty the Emperor!" lowered his voice, "Brother, the appearance of the Imperial Beast Praetorian Guard means that at least one of the 'Wu'an Generals' has come to Crescent Moon City!"
Su Anzhi finally changed color!
After all, he still knows some military common sense -- the Great Zhao military system, and the military positions are divided into six categories: marshal, general, captain, soldier, male soldier, and private. Among them, the generals are divided into three levels: Zheng, Zhen, and An, as well as many miscellaneous generals, Su Anzhi and He City Lord are all miscellaneous generals with temporary surnames, according to the saying on the earth, they are county and regiment-level cadres!
And the 'Wu'an' generals mentioned by He Shan refer to the official title of senior general, and these Wu'an generals not only enjoy the treatment of high-ranking officials in the army with permanent surnames, but also have actual military power! To put it bluntly, as soon as they show their tokens, the Dazhao army has to give them obedient things!
This is equivalent to a provincial and ministerial-level senior official, a commander of a military region!
As for the higher-level ones, 'town-level' generals such as General Zhenbei, they belong to the central departments and are generally not accessible at the local level.
"Little Crescent City, how did you come to such a big official? And it's such a coincidence......
Su Anzhi thought for a while, and said resolutely: "Brother He, we have no conflict with the Royal Forbidden Army, they shouldn't be coming for us, but they can't help but have a long night and a lot of dreams, so let's kill the Shen family's father and son first!"
"Okay, just do what Brother Su said!"
He Shan made up his mind, he raised his hand, and he was going to order the sergeants to execute the Shen family's father and son. But suddenly, a voice outside beckoned: "Crescent City Lord, come out to greet my general!"
The sound was loud and crisp, as if it was not made by humans, and when everyone looked up, they saw a large snow-white bird flying overhead, prompting a cry.
Vultures?
He Shan's eyes closed, "I'm really afraid of something...... Brother Su, the vulture is the symbol of the Imperial Beast Praetorian Guard, don't hesitate, hurry up to meet the general of the Forbidden Army!"
"That Shen family father and son ......"
"They can be killed at any time, but the general of the forbidden army must not be lazy, otherwise the military law will be ruthless!"
He Shan instructed the sergeants to press the Shen family father and son into the dungeon for the time being, and then cleaned up the execution ground, and pulled Su Anzhi to the open ground in front of the city lord's mansion quickly.
At this time, the people have been dispersed, and a Royal Beast Guard army gathered in the open field, and there were three thousand people in a large area, including more than a dozen huge and ferocious demon beasts.
A young general riding a tiger was walking a tiger in front of the team, and when he saw He Shan coming out, he smiled slightly, "Which one is the Crescent Moon City Lord?"
"The last general is, dare to ask the general is ......" He Shan owes himself.
"The Left Forward General of the Imperial Beast Army, General from the Fourth Rank Tiger Might, Zhao Ting!" the young general continued to smile.
From the fourth grade, He Shan was only a fifth-grade city lord, and the official was one level lower, he hurriedly changed from owing to bowing, and changed his words: "I don't know that Lord Zhao is coming, the villain is not welcome, please enter the mansion!"
"I'm not busy, I'm just the vanguard, and I have to wait for the main army!" the young general waved his hand and his attitude was gentle.
He Shan also expected that a general from the fourth rank could not be the main general, so he accompanied him with a smile and served Lord Zhao Ting wholeheartedly with Su Anyi.
After a while, the earth roared, and another 3,000 troops came to the open field, led by a middle-aged military general in his forties, who rode a mammoth, and along the way, people kept demolishing his houses to make way.
God, this person demolished the house without changing color, he must be a big man!
He Shan hurriedly took a few steps forward and took the initiative to bow, "My lord, the villain is He Shan, the lord of Crescent Moon City, dare to ask......"
"Imperial Beast Army, Marching Sima, General Annan, Zhao Gang!"
The middle-aged military general didn't look smiling, and he reported his name without waiting for He Shan to finish speaking.
General Annan?That's right, this person is an An-level general, he must be the main general, He Shan hurriedly knelt down, "General, the villain is rude, the city lord's mansion has been ......"
Syllable!
The whip that drove the elephant was whipped on He Shan's head, and General Annan shouted angrily: "Blind guy, my master has not yet arrived, and if I go in, won't it be a mess of military regulations!"
He's not the main general?
He Shan covered his beaten face and wanted to get angry, but he forced himself to take this breath! Although he took refuge in the Marquis of Yanshan, the county officials were not as good as the current management, and the military rank of the people was higher than him, and there were six or seven thousand troops here, and if he was angry, he was looking for death!
He Shan wiped the blood stains off his face and faced General Annan's cold face with a smile...... As for Su An's ...... Sorry, he doesn't have the qualifications to speak here!
After another short while, more than 4,000 soldiers rushed from a distance, they had nothing special, but when more than 4,000 people stepped forward, they were like one person, and the rhythm of breathing was almost exactly the same, and at first glance they were one of the most elite troops on the mainland!
The general who walked in the front was also very simple, an ordinary white robe, an ordinary white horse. But this man stood firm in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and the 10,000 Imperial Beast Army immediately split into four neat phalanxes, and then beat his chest neatly, "Beast Venerable Protection, the general will win!"
He Shan and Su Anzhi's faces blushed, compared to when they went on the expedition, this is called a soldier, this is the real army!
"My lord, He Shan welcomes you to Crescent City!" Seeing the majesty of this person, He Shan hurriedly lay on the left side of the war horse, acting as a stepping stone for this person.
This person didn't step on He Shan's back, jumped straight down, and said with a smile: "City Lord He, get up, there are not so many rules in the army!"
"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this kind and kind voice, He Shan's heart warmed, "General, dare to ask you who you are......"
"Chen Yuan!"
"Oops, it turned out that the general of the town army has arrived!"
He Shan hurriedly knelt down, and at the same time gave Su Anzhi a look, brother, you should kneel down quickly, this person is a high-ranking official from the central government!
Su Anzhi was a little reluctant, but he took the trouble to calculate an account in his heart: there are a total of three marshals in the Great Zhao army, five generals, and then Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi, Zhenbei, and the general of the Zhenjun army - this Chen Yuan is actually the thirteenth person in the Great Zhao army!
No. 13, this is not a powerful thing under the emperor's nose, but if it is placed in Crescent City, it will not be able to provoke the members of the dynasty!
Thinking of this, he reluctantly knelt down, introduced himself and said, "General, the city lord's mansion has already prepared a little thin wine, please enjoy it!"
"Oh, City Lord He and General Su are really polite......" Chen Yuan smiled, "However, before the main general arrived, how could I not understand the rules and drink the main general's wine first?"
"You, you're not the main general!?"
He Shan only felt that the sky was about to fall, the thirteenth person in the military was not the main general, God, who was the main general!
"My lord, don't embarrass the villain, I ask you, who is the Lord ......," He Shan pleaded.
Chen Yuan clenched his fists in the direction of Wang Du, and said: "The chief general of our army is the general of the Northern University of Yuci Town, the second-class hereditary viscount, Lord Shen!"
General Zhenbei, hearing this name, He Shan was already a little numb and not shocked enough, but when he heard the 'second-class hereditary viscount' behind him, he was shocked.
You must know that the military rank of the Great Zhao Dynasty is easy to obtain, but the title is difficult to find, especially the 'hereditary' title.
Once you have a hereditary title, it is an orthodox nobility recognized by the royal family, and it can be passed on to future generations, becoming a huge noble family!
"Oh, it turns out that Lord Shen is the main general, so Lord Shen ...... at this time"
He Shan looked around the army for a while, and didn't find anything like a hereditary nobleman, but he felt strange in his heart...... It's really unlucky, I was about to kill the Shen family, why did a big man surnamed Shen come?
"It's strange to say, Lord Shen has already entered the city, why hasn't he come to the City Lord's Mansion yet?"
Chen Yuan also looked strange, he waited for a while, and sighed: "It seems that the lord has been delayed by mundane matters, so let's go in first and wait inside!"
"Okay, good!" He Shan knelt down several times in a row, his knees were numb, and he was about to go in and rest.
Led by Chen Yuan, more than a dozen high-ranking generals, and hundreds of personal soldiers walked into the City Lord's Mansion, but He Shan was very strange to find that the remaining Imperial Beast Army did not set up camp, but faintly surrounded the City Lord's Mansion.
This should be a measure to protect the big shots, right?
He Shan thought with concern.
At this time, they passed by the courtyard behind the gate, this was still the execution ground just now, and there were some traces left, Chen Yuan couldn't help but be curious: "City Lord He, this is the execution ground just now?"
"Back to the General, we're dealing with a few criminals, but don't worry, things have been dealt with. He Shan said with a smile.
"What criminal?" asked Chen Yuan casually.
"Oh, it's the ...... of the Shen family in Crescent City"
"The Shen family?"
Chen Yuan's face was gloomy, "Wait a minute, Lord Shen has a relative in Crescent City, all of them are surnamed Shen, if you catch a criminal, won't you be a relative of Lord Shen?"
"No, definitely not!" He Shan waved his hand again and again, "I know the origin of this Shen family, they don't have relatives who are officials!"
"No, you take me to see it immediately, this kind of thing must not be sloppy!"
Chen Yuan's eyes became stern, and the hundreds of soldiers behind him also pressed their hands on the weapon!
"The general is angry, I'll show you the way!"
He Shan hurriedly led the way in front, but his mood was still very relaxed, the Shen family, isn't it a new family that has only emerged in the last twenty years? They can't have anything to do with Lord Shen of the royal capital!
When he came to the dungeon, He Shan still pointed to the cell indifferently: "General, these people are criminals, and the one with the small eye in the middle is the main criminal...... They're not Lord Shen's relatives, are they?"
At the end of He Shan's fingers, Shen Kun was squatting on the toilet in the cell, hugging his shoulders, his little eyes blinking and blinking, and he had a cheap smile on his face.
"Huh!"
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed again and again, his smile was a little cold, a little vicious, and he smiled: "That's right, this is not Lord Shen's relative......
Syllable!
A mouth fanned, and He Shan's face was full of blood, "This is the lord himself!"
