Longyou Luoyang Chapter 51 The spirit of the wind is out of the pass

The new swallow bit mud, the tender willow spits green. In the sixth year of Guanghe (183 days, the days passed in a hurry in the hard work of the peasants, and the Taihang Mountains in early summer were dotted with lush flowers and trees, embellished with the delicate faces of the M-people.

Zhao Yun leaned under a pine tree on the top of a mountain, looking out of the mountain for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

It has been more than three months since they entered the mountain, and when they first received the "Flying Tiger Battalion", the two groups of heavy armored spear team and light armored bow and feather team combined were only about 400 people. This is already after Guan Yu lost troops in the first battle on Chinese New Year's Eve, constantly attacking nearby cottages, expanding the scale of nearly two hundred talents.

Guan Yu's conditions for selecting the members of the "Flying Tiger Battalion" are very harsh, those who can walk ten moves under Guo Changzi or Hu Che'er stay, and those who can walk ten moves under Guan Yu are the leaders.

After Zhao Yun took over, he implemented the principle of preferring shortage to abundance more thoroughly. When he entered the mountain, his senior brother told him that this "Flying Tiger Battalion" was a seed, and that one day in the future, the "Shangdang Five Tigers" would lead thousands of men and horses across the prairie outside the Yanm-N Pass, and the "Flying Tiger Battalion" was the backbone of the future iron cavalry.

Zhao Yun and Zhao Xing have the same surname, born in the same year, Zhao Xing is at the beginning of the year, and Zhao Yun is at the end of the year. Although the time they got along was very short, Zhao Yun had a lot of respect for his cheap senior brother and the current "third brother".

If nothing else, just for Zhao Xing to spare no effort to resettle the displaced people who came to Crouching Tiger Village, so that those displaced and lonely people can see the hope of life again; just because Zhao Xing never puts on a high stand, often plays with Guan Yu, Xu Huang and himself with a hippie smile, even if he loses, he is not angry; he is not angry that Zhao Xing can be happily caught by Xu Wanlin and Zhao Yu.

He felt that the third brother was a person with perseverance but not stubbornness, and getting along with him was like bathing in the sunshine of early summer, warm and not aggressive. Because he kept in mind the entrustment of the third brother, Zhao Yun further promoted the bandit suppression cause of the "Flying Tiger Battalion" after entering the mountain!

Zhao Yun, who has been following his master to learn art in the mountains, entered the mountains, just like a fish entering a big river, and he can throw out 1-nghua happily. Zhao Yun fully adopted tactics such as "disturbing the tired enemy, showing weakness to the enemy, dividing and destroying the enemy, dividing and collecting the enemy, and attacking and destroying the enemy at night", and sorted out the bandits within a radius of 300 miles from Changzi County, and even the horse thieves who were active on the plain, Zhao Yun did not let go.

After three months of purging, the number of Zhao Yun's team has now exceeded 1,000 people. These horses are by no means indiscriminate, they have all been tested and tempered in actual combat, and when they are released, they are tigers who choose people and devour. The "cats and dogs" in this section of the Taihang Mountains in Shangdang County have been sorted out, and next, Zhao Yun plans to go north and go to Leping County in one go.

Zhao Yun stared into the distance, but remembered that Zhao Xing would take his family to Luoyang to open a semicolon of "Drunken Immortal Building" in a few days, and Zhao Yu, who couldn't stay idle, would also follow. According to the third brother's style of acting, going to Luoyang to open a store to sell alcohol this time is a pretense, and "human trafficking" is the real purpose.

Thinking that at the beginning, except for himself who took the initiative to defect, the rest of the people were actually coaxed and deceived by Zhao Xing and gathered together, and the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth were 1- An imperceptible smile appeared.

It is said that "the new official takes office with three fires", looking at the large group of rabble, the newly appointed county lieutenant and general Guan Yu's heart is very hot, so he naturally lights a few more fires.

The first fire, planting the mediocre and eliminating the inferior. In Shangdang County, which is staffed by 5,000 people, because his predecessor Zhang Binglin was paid empty salaries, he recruited Zhang's family members to pretend to be the number of people to receive wages, but in fact there were less than 3,000 people! A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, under the torture of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and others, either took the initiative to resign or were ordered to be eliminated, in short, there were only 1,000 people left.

The second fire, the replacement of generals. It's still the old way, only those who can walk ten moves under Guan Yu can be the leader, and after a competition, Guan Yu really showed a few available people.

The third fire, adjust the team. Although there were only 1,000 people, Guan Yu still divided the team into five parts, namely the "front, middle, rear, left, and right" five battalions, each with 200 people. The front battalion was commanded by Sima Xu Huang and was configured as spearmen; the rear battalion was led by Zhou Cang and configured as sword and shield soldiers; the left battalion was led by Pei Yuanshao and configured as archers; the right battalion was led by the newly elected Wang Lu (Zi Wenshu, configured as halberd soldiers); and the middle battalion was led by Guan Yu and configured as cavalry.

The fourth fire, devil training. Since last year, Zhao Xing has demonstrated the so-called "Zhao's Forging Body Boxing" (in fact, all three sets of military body boxing to Guan Yu, which happened to be used to train ordinary soldiers. At the suggestion of Zhao Xing, every day the soldiers have to carry out weight-bearing cross-country training, and the distance is not far, from the eldest son county to Crouching Tiger Village, it is only forty or fifty miles away, (more than 20 kilometers, it takes half a day.)

The fifth fire, recruitment. Although the county soldiers are not Zhao Xing's own team, Zhao Xing is not distressed at all about Hua money. Anyway, how much hua is, when the time comes, Jia Xu will return it to Zhao Xing from the tax revenue of the county. Weapons, armor, war horses, as long as they can be bought with money, Zhao Xing is strongly supportive, anyway, guarding the drunken immortal building and the Xu family wine shop, the old mother who can only lay golden eggs, Zhao Xing doesn't have to waste his god for Hua money for a while.

There is a sentence in the recruitment notice that Guan Yu asked people to post: "Whoever passes the assessment, once hired, will be able to get a 20% discount on the Hua fee in Zuixianlou in the future, and a 7% discount if he is promoted to the leader!" Good guy, after seeing this recruitment notice, I don't know how many guys who are used to drooling x-ng when they hear the long river Daqu rushed to the barracks to sign up, and it only took less than a month for Guan Yu to recruit 2,000 indicators of the first army expansion plan. Looking at the three thousand troops with a strict military appearance (in Guan Yu's opinion, three thousand people are enough to do a lot of things, except for entering Luoyang to rob the palace, of course, the fire in Guan Yu's heart has finally dropped slightly.

Zhang Liao ranked the oldest in the "Five Tigers of the Shangdang", which made him very aggrieved. There is a way to be aggrieved, who makes himself the youngest and the weakest in martial arts? No, it should be the weakest in strength, and our martial arts are no worse than the "third brother" Zhao Xing.

Seeing Guan Yu's toughness and Zhao Yun's lightness, Zhang Liao knew that he was not an opponent, and consciously challenged Zhao Xing, who thought he could win.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, under the guidance of Zhao Yun, Zhao Xing's marksmanship was both offensive and defensive, and he faintly had the momentum of a bully, which caused him to cover his left and right, and finally lost the battle.

Although he was defeated, he showed Zhang Liao's fighting spirit even more. He picked a free time, went back to Mayi, told his father about the Zhang family's original intention to embezzle Crouching Tiger Village and Li Jiazhuang, and confronted the eldest lady of the Zhang family in person. After some inquiry, the eldest lady of the Zhang family was speechless and ashamed. When he told the eldest lady of the Zhang family that her brother was still alive, everyone in the Zhang family hid their faces and wept, only shouting for heaven to bless.

According to Zhao Xing's hints, Zhang Liao asked his father to transfer all the family property of Ma Yi to Zhang Bingkun's descendants free of charge. At first, Zhang Liao's father refused to live or die, but after hearing that Zhao Xing could give Zhang Liao's family more land and houses in the eldest son county, he happily agreed. To tell the truth, who wants to stay outside the M-N Pass, which is being plundered by the Xianbei people every year?

After settling down with his family, Zhang Liao, who moved his family inward, plunged into Crouching Tiger Village, and soaked with the brothers of the "Crouching Tiger Camp" every day. Zhang Liao even bluffed and deceived Jia Mu to get the record of Zhao Xing telling stories to the "Little Tigers", and seriously learned the "Thirty-six Strategies of the Zhao Family". It is said that now Zhao Xing has explained the story of "guerrilla warfare" and "sparrow warfare" to children!

Although he was troubled by the lack of people who could use his subordinates, Jia Xu's life was obviously better now. When Zhao Xingjiao gave him a list, he also handed him a thick pile of land deeds. Needless to say, these title deeds are what was missing in the Zhangjia Mansion Treasury at the beginning.

Of 700,000 acres of land, Zhao Xing gave Jia Xu 500,000 mu, and the remaining 200,000 mu was used to settle the family members of the Wenchen military generals who came to take refuge in the future.

The entire Shangdang County knew where Zhao Xing's field came from, but no one dared to say a word, and the people who were bullied by Zhang Bingkun's family at the beginning still applauded. This is really in response to the saying "thieves steal but are beaten by robbers", it makes sense that it is always a big fist.

After Jia Xu and Sima Zhi discussed, 500,000 mu of fertile land was designated as official land, and the displaced people who were scattered to Shangdang were rented in pieces according to their families and surnames, and the rent was "every ten chou two", which was neither low nor very high. When Jiao rented, he only collected grain.

At that time, Jia Xu asked Zhao Xing about this matter, and Zhao Xing said, "Jiao is enough for the government, and the rest is his own!" Jia Xu shouted "wonderful", and then posted a notice, asking the displaced people to form a village according to more than 100 households, elect Zhuang Lao, build a village treasury, and set the proportion of grain in the village treasury by itself, as a reserve for dealing with the famine period and difficult households.

Seeing this, many readers must have seen that Jia Xu's set of works is very similar to the "big collective" of later generations? By the way, this is the prototype of the people's commune improved by a certain unscrupulous boy, how do you say it? "Jiao is enough for the country, enough for the collective, and the rest is his own land!"

According to Jia Xu's calculations, 500,000 mu of fertile land can support at least 100,000 people, and the tenants of the Zhang family have changed from tenant farmers and domestic slaves to commoners who directly pay grain to the government. Because of the desolation of land caused by population loss and unnatural deaths, the party has been thoroughly controlled. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and sweat more, the overharvest of crops is your own, and the enthusiasm of the villagers has been unprecedentedly improved.

While encouraging farming and grain hoarding, Jia Xu also vigorously improved the treatment of merchants in accordance with Zhao Xing's suggestion, encouraged farmers to participate in the production of workshops, encouraged caravans to traffic grain from Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the south, and trafficked horses, cattle and sheep from Xiliang, Xianbei and Qianghu. These caravans, the government specially sent officers and soldiers to accompany them to protect them. The grain and horses that were brought back were purchased by the government at a fixed price, while the Shangdang exported only two things: furniture and soju. In the eyes of Zhao Xing and Jia Xu, piles of grain are wealth, and herds of horses, cattle and sheep are strength.

Zhao Xing's wish is very simple - there is food to eat, someone to come, and a horse to ride!

In the case that everyone is busy with their feet in the sky and hitting the back of their heads, a certain kid who is not doing his job really can't stand the noise of thousands of ducks in the backyard (some people say that an NV person can withstand the noise of five hundred ducks, and he really wants to enter the capital to open his eyes, under the guise of going to Luoyang to open the third branch of the "Drunken Immortal Building", with Li Jinsi, Myolie Wu, Xu Wanlin, Zhao Yu and the follower Li Tiezhu and others, under the escort of one hundred Zhuang Ding, Hao Hao D-ngd-ng went south and went straight to Jiguan.

Jiguan, located in the south of Shangdang County, looks at the Yellow River to the south, Taihang Mountains in the east, Yangshan Mountain in the west, is the only place to enter and exit Luoyang, and has a very important position and role in the military. Although there is a Gongwei of Hanoi County in the north of Luoyang City. But the two lines of defense that really blocked the Xianbei people from the north from going south to the iron cavalry, the first was the Yan M-N Pass, and the second was the Kei Pass. Once the Keiguan is not guaranteed, the Beijing division is in danger!

Along the way, Zhao Xing has changed a lot when he took refuge in Lijiazhuang two years ago. Now he is angry with horses in fresh clothes, warblers and swallows, hugging back and forth, and he has a face of returning to his hometown.

What did Zhao Xing say? "We are going to the capital this time, and what we want to earn is the money of high-ranking officials and nobles, and we can't lose the battle first in terms of momentum." Let's set off a wind in Luoyang City, leading countless literati and dignitaries to bend their waists!" For this reason, an unscrupulous boy also improvised a poem: "Huang Qingcang is crazy, and the new rain and clear spring are full of sleep." If a young man is not idle, he will be high-spirited!"
