Chapter 22 Calculation
Out of Taigu Street, where the Drunken Immortal Building was located, Xu Liang slapped his horse forward, turned his horse's head, and crossed in front of Chen Xun and the four of them.
"In my opinion, a few people care about the people, so they have today's things" Xu Liang clenched his fists on the horse, and said with a serious expression, "I don't embarrass a few, let's say goodbye"
"Head..."When Chen Xun's city patrol division heard that Xu Liang was going to release these four people, they immediately became anxious, and one of them was even squeezing his eyes at Xu Liang vigorously, his eyes were not squinting, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or squeezing, and he was about to flow water.
Xu Liang waved his hand holding the whip on the horse, signaling the brothers behind him to be calm, "Hurry up, everyone, it's okay to stay in the hotel, it's okay to go out of the city, in short, it's best not to meet the master of the horse."
With the Baijia scholars accompanying them, although Chen Xun is not necessarily afraid of going to the City Patrol Division to drink tea and other troubles, it is good to save some trouble. Moreover, Yanshan Eight Cavalry secretly went out of Beijing this time, and there was no official order, so if he rashly revealed his identity, it would probably not be a good thing.
Therefore, it is indeed a good thing that Xu Liang can take the initiative to let them leave at this moment. Chen Xun raised his hand and hugged his fist to Xu Liang on the horse, "Thank you, General."
Although he didn't want to admit that this person on the horse was also a general, Li Yihuan still followed Chen Xun, Baijia Scholar, and Liao Chonghai to say "Thank you, general".
Seeing the four of them leave, the tall and thin man who had been in a hurry couldn't help but remind Xu Liang, "General, today we took them down in front of the master of the horse, this will let them go, if the master of the horse asks about this matter in front of the county guard, I'm afraid the city patrol department will not be able to explain."
Xu Liang smiled comfortably, and his heart was even happier, one was for the four people he met today, the four of them had no relatives and no reason with the people in front of this drunken immortal building, but they dared to take the risk of offending the government, and they spoke up righteously, which is not an exaggeration to "ask for life for the people". Xu Liang is upright by nature, but after retiring from the army and entering the officialdom, all kinds of messy things had to force him to bend to be a man, which made him unhappy for a long time. In the past, only when you drank with your brothers could you have a good time. What these four people did today made him feel a long-lost pleasure;
Xu Liang's other comforting thing is even smaller. In fact, it was the question of the thin and tall man who was "I'm afraid the city patrol division is not easy to explain". He was the only one who let Chen Xun go, but the thin and tall man's questioning clearly did not regard this matter as Xu Liang's personal behavior, but as the collective action of the City Patrol Division. What does this mean? It shows that these boys don't drink in vain on weekdays.
"It's okay, it's just a little master book, if you mess with me, I'll be done with the ball", Xu Liang's words made the rest of the people laugh together, and everyone said "That's it, the head wants to do the ball, let's do the ball, hahahaha"
Xu Liang laughed and shouted, "Let's go, let's drink." ”
...
Chen Xun and the four of them said goodbye to the captain of the city patrol division, and then turned to the county guard's mansion. It's just that along the way, Chen Xun looked lonely, and he stopped talking a few times, and Liao Chonghai and Li Yihuan, who were watching, were in a hurry, but they were helpless.
Since entering the city, the Baijia scholar has actually been thinking about how to deal with the next thing. Although he comforted Chen Xun just now, as long as the county guard of this Immortal City was not blind and deaf, he should already have some understanding of the war situation in the north. But what they have seen since they entered the city for so long is that there is no fortification and patrol at the city gate, and there are no soldiers at the entrance to check the identity of those who enter the city, and the city is even more exaggerated, and there is still singing and dancing, and there is no martial law at all. These all show that the county guard of this immortal city is afraid that he really doesn't know that the Chaotian Pass has been lost, and the grassland people are close at hand, but I am afraid that they still have the idea that the grassland people will not enter the customs. Today's recruitment, I'm afraid, is just to complete the political orders of the Jiedu envoys.
And what's even more terrifying is that after thinking about it carefully, what the county guard of Xiancheng should have received the tacit approval of the upper echelons. After all, Duan Liangzhou, the envoy of the Northwest Dao Festival, had already entered the city, and if he had already known the current critical situation, he should not have let the county guard of this Immortal City come and put the entire Northwest Dao in this precarious situation.
Of course, whether it is Duan Liangzhou, the envoy of the Northwest Province, or Zhou Chunliang, the county guard of Xiancheng, both of them are from civilian backgrounds, and it is understandable that they know each other if they don't know how to fight. Now, they may just be completing the tasks assigned by Chang'an, recruiting troops, and going north to Chaotian Pass to meet with General Luo Shiquan in Longyou to ensure that Chaotian Pass is not lost.
But the problem is that Chaotian Pass has been lost, and the current situation, whether it is Duan Liangzhou of the Northwest Road or Luo Shiquan of the Longyou Road, whoever goes east or north first will inevitably encounter the grassland cavalry first. Today's grassland people have quite a lot of means, and they have not moved for the past few days, so they can't say that they are preparing for the current situation. Moreover, the entire Northwest Province can be said to be unprepared now, and if the steppe people drive straight into the country and make good use of their surprise attacks, the Xing army will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, the problem now is how to exchange military information with the adults in the city without revealing the identities of several people. Although the previous plan was to directly identify himself and find the county keeper. But acting like this, as soon as Yanshan Eight Cavalry came to China, they withdrew from the army after Chen Can no longer really led the troops, so several people at this time had no status in the army, and could only act as people in the general's mansion.
This identity, not to mention whether the envoy of the festival and the county keeper will recognize it, is that they themselves will not be able to tell the source of the news in their hands for a while. It can't be said that they have fought with the steppe people, and if so, it will be even more difficult to explain when it reaches Chang'an.
Secondly, the reason why they can't identify themselves is that Chen Xun next to them can't leak the matter of the "Dumiao" of the Northwest Army, even if there is the slightest possibility.
In addition, Zhao Mo, the third elder who went south a few days earlier than them, estimated that he should have already arrived in Chang'an at this time, and if Chang'an could be faster, there should be a new order in the next two days. It's just that I don't know if the steppe people will give these two days.
The white-armored scholar raised his arm and lowered it, but finally raised it and gently touched Chen Xun's head. If it is said that when he was in the drunken fairy building, the young man was full of righteous indignation and emotion, it was probably due to the young man's temperament; But his expression now is more sad, which is about what a soldier who has experienced many ups and downs should look like. The Baijia scholar knows that the young man is actually not very old, and now he is only sixteen years old, but his current face has long been unable to see the immaturity that a teenager should have, and it is more rough and angular left by the wind and sand of the grassland.
Baijia Shusheng has a plan, since the two are in a dilemma, perhaps only in this way can the current problem be solved.
