Chapter 16 Eastward Advance
The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, but this bluntly said that the matter of the Western Desert is very important, if he alone takes away half of Longyou's troops to the northwest, Longyou is afraid that there will be an incident, and there is a direct suspicion of disobedience. Chen Qiushui's recital not only angered Emperor Xing, who had just been in power, but even a cadre of ministers in the court rarely unanimously believed that this person was unholy and openly resisted the decree, and should be escorted back to Beijing and put in prison. The question is, who will go to Longyou to ask for sin?
The officials said that the ineffective jurisdiction of the military department caused the generals stationed abroad to become more and more domineering; The Ministry of War said that the Ministry of Officials was ineffective in supervising and was responsible for negligence. After such a war of words, near the end of the early dynasty, there was no substantive conclusion, and finally it was about to evolve into a situation of tomorrow's war, and finally His Majesty the Emperor made a final decision, since Chen Qiushui was worried about the situation in Longyou, then let Luo Shiquan lead 30,000 troops to Chaotian Pass, and at the same time, the two provinces of Hedong and Hebei immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses, and were ready to enter the northwest road at any time.
A new will came again, and this time Chen Qiushui did not dare to shirk the matter again. But his goal has actually been achieved, and now Luo Shiquan has taken 30,000 horses, which is acceptable for him. And the emperor made it clear that when the situation in the northwest is stable, the court will reward meritorious deeds. At that time, the deputy general who has followed him for many years is expected to become the general of the new Northwest Dao of Daxing, and the two Dao of Longyou and Northwest in the future will be under control, and his status will be second only to General Chen Can.
Luo Shiquan, thirty years old and six, worships General Yunlu. The face is round and the ears are big, the body is dignified, the hole is powerful, and he is good at using a pair of purple and gold meteor hammers. When he was young, he joined the army in poverty, entered the Northwest Army for the first time, fought with the grassland many times, and was well versed in the combat style of the grassland people who came and went like the wind. Later, because of the heroism of killing the enemy, he was promoted step by step. In the old calendar day, he followed General Chen Qiushui of Longyou Province for 23 years and served as the first deputy general.
This time, he led the troops from Longyou, marched at the foot of Yin Mountain, passed Yin Mountain, and then went directly to Chaotian Pass for three days.
Chaotian Pass, Chen Qiushui's old general's mansion is still in the useless school martial arts field. The middle-aged boy didn't bask in the sun again this time, but was... Drinking.
Wang Junshi and Mu Tuo, one person and one pot, are not the mare's milk wine of the grassland, but the grain wine in this Chaotian Pass.
"Sir, the city gate has been opened, but according to the report from the spies, there are not many people who actually go out of the city, as Mr. expected before." The young man was convinced by the gentleman in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
This time, in addition to the army of the Zaha tribe temporarily led by the young Mutuo, there were also the Muhe tribe led by Wuli and the Wuri tribe led by Saihan. When Muto, Uli, and Saihan heard that the military advisor was going to open the city gate, the three of them immediately thought they had heard it wrong. Wu Li, who has a straightforward personality, even bluntly said that the military advisor's move is not to understand military affairs, and the kindness of women.
And the military advisor at that time just smiled and said, "The three generals look at it, even if they open the city gate now, there will be no accident." ”
"Then what if there are any Daxing spies who get in?" Wu Li asked directly angrily, in fact, according to his character, it would be good to lead his sons and daughters to the south of Daxing and go back to loot a lot. However, before entering the customs this time, Zaha Khan had already received a golden letter into the army, and the front-line battle command was subject to the arrangements of the military division in front of him.
"That's the best" Mu Tuo still remembers the smile on the military advisor when he said this, it was a kind of smile like a bamboo in his chest, as if, there was still a little expectation?
"In this world, in addition to killing the enemy, there is also defending the city, as well as the education of people's hearts, and the change of people's customs... Wait, wait, wait" Wang Junshi took a sip of the pot, it seemed too spicy, and he couldn't help choking.
The young man laughed, "Sir, what kind of wine is this, it is really difficult to drink, it is not as good as the mare's milk wine of our grassland." ”
"This is Ceres, a unique drink from Chaotianguan. Brewed from aged grains. The military advisor also smiled, "According to legend, at the beginning of the founding of the country, because of the continuous war, the people's life was very difficult. In this bitter cold place, it is not uncommon for Yi Zi to eat. But the way of the world is like this, no matter how difficult the years are, there are people who have surplus food and abundance. This is probably what the predecessors said, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ””
"Legend has it that in those years, there was a family that was poor and couldn't open the pot for several days. There is no food to eat at home, nothing to exchange for money. Seeing that the whole family was about to starve to death, the men of the family prayed to the heavens, asking the god of grain in heaven to give them some food to survive the winter. ”
The young Muto listened to it with relish, and never expected that the wine in front of him would have these stories, "And then what about Mr.?" ”
"Then, that very night, the man of the family dreamed of a god who taught him how to make wine from aged grains. He also bluntly said that the wine brewed by this method is spicy in the mouth, warm in the throat, and warm in the stomach, which is the most suitable for a pot of warm in winter. ”
"But they don't even have anything to eat, can they still have food to make wine?" After listening to Mr. 's introduction, the young man couldn't help but take a slow sip of the wine in front of him, as if it was really like that.
"yes, I don't even have anything to eat, where can I still make wine? So the man of the family woke up and cried, scolded, and bluntly said that God was playing tricks on him. ”
But at this time, a rich man in the city happened to pass by, and when he saw this man crying with a mournful expression, he was moved with compassion. Next, it was the rich man who asked the reason and gave the family food for a few days. The man was grateful, and told the rich man all about the brewing method. What is rare is that this rich man took it seriously, went back to find someone to brew in this way, and sure enough, he brewed this unusual wine. As a result, this Ceres wine has been passed down like this. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Daxing, there are also good people like rich people." The boy Muto tasted it again, but it still didn't seem to taste so good.
The military advisor smiled again, got up and touched the young man's head, "Yes, there are such good people in Daxing." It's a pity, it's just such a good person, too few and too few..."
After saying this, the military advisor fell into silence, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while. It didn't take long for a big man from the prairie to hurry over.
"Military division, Xingren's soldiers and horses have been assembled in Weiyang County, there are about 50,000 horses"
"General Saihan, who is the leader of Daxing this time?"
"It seems to be Duan Liangzhou, the festival of Daxing Northwest Road."
"Sure enough." The military advisor stroked his palms and smiled, "Yesterday I received news that the army to the east of my grassland has entered Houcheng and Fanshui Pass, if there is another ten years, I think General Huda and General Rilan will be able to see the post roads of Hedong and Hebei."
The young Mutuo and Saihan of the Wuri tribe were really shocked, it had been almost a month since they entered Chaotian Pass, and they had not moved, could it be that the military division had secretly sent Huda and Rilan to advance to the east and take the first step?
The military advisor nodded, "Alright, it's almost time. General Saihan, please inform General Uli quickly, straighten out the troops and horses, and we'll go south."
At this moment, the spring breeze lifted Wang Junshi's sideburns, although he was thin and weak, he showed his heroic appearance.
"What about me, sir?" Young Mu Tuo was in a hurry, he had long wanted to go south, and now that the opportunity was in front of him, he had to ask to understand.
"Muto, you should first rest assured in this Chaotian Pass. In the follow-up, I still have the heavy responsibility to hand over to your 10,000 Zaha pro-army. ”
