Chapter 259 - Yanbei Mo County
Yanbei City, stretching the mountains and more prosperous Lingzhou, under the rule of Confucianism, Youwuxin, Wei Mo Yingtanhuan, collectively referred to as the ten counties of Yanbei, the land of Shenzhou and the outside of Yanbei Pass are divided.
These ten counties form horns with each other, stretch out, and blend with the Yanbei mountains, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is not for Emperor Zhao's faintness, it will not be a general, the army will not become a soldier, if not, how can the Northern Jin Dynasty go south so easily, not to say that the attack to Liangzhou, even if it is necessary to cross the north of Yanbei, it will also lose the army.
Now under the rule of Qi Yun, after years of operation, the ten counties of Yanbei have 100,000 elite soldiers of Qiyun, and there are more than 1,000 strong generals.
There is an old saying in Yanbei, "The south comes to the north and goes through Yanbei, and the first enters Molai and then enters the martial arts." "Mo and Wu are the only way to enter the north of Yan, if you want to go south, you must first enter Wu County, and if you want to go north, you need to go through Mo County first.
Logically speaking, there are 100,000 elite soldiers of Qiyun stationed in Yanbei, and these ten counties will no longer be disturbed by the Northern Jin Dynasty, but Mo County, the southernmost of the ten counties, is often harassed by bandits.
These Jin rangers, I don't know how to get past these layers of guards, to reach Mo County, and how they disappeared without a trace after looting. The people of Mojun only knew that the horse's hooves were full of smoke and dust, and that the northerners had come to plunder again.
Wan Jun has been stationed in Yanbei City for more than ten years, and has also sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but these Jin rangers are like ghosts, coming and going without a trace.
In desperation, Wan Jun only divided his troops to patrol the ten counties, but in this way, the troops of Yanbei City were empty, and they were often attacked by the Jin army.
But those Jin rangers were even more rampant, just because the Yanbei defenders were too easy to reconnoiter when they were marching, and they couldn't patrol the ten counties together, as long as the front foot left, the Jin ranger came to loot with the back foot.
After a long time, Wan Jun had to go to the imperial court in addition to patrolling, set up a county guard division in ten counties, train the township brave to protect himself, and then cooperate with the patrol army to prevent these Jin rangers.
The reason why Mo County is called Mo County is because seven of the ten people in this Mo County have ten Mo surnames, and the Mo family is also the largest family in this Mo County, whether they are in business or in the countryside, they are all children of the Mo family.
Mo Ti is the ninth Si Cheng of the Mo County Shou Si, and the last of the young generation of the Mo family, the first eight Mo County Shou Si Cheng, all of them are Mo Ti's uncle and brother, and in these years of guarding Mo County, they all died at the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty rangers.
The Mo family, which was originally a thriving family, gradually declined...
At this moment, Mo Ti was listening to the report of the county guard in the county guard, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows lightly to relieve his headache.
It shouldn't have been her daughter who could bear such a heavy burden, but among the younger generation of the Mo family, there are no more men, and the county guard is not only responsible for the rise and fall of the Mo family, but also the safety of the entire Mo County.
"Si Cheng, since the Yuan Ri Festival, we have lost twenty-eight brothers successively, and we can force back that group of thieves, but it is not because there are many of us, but because the Yanbei patrol defenders have arrived... This pension money plus salary... We really can't come up with so much silver in our company. The next Si Wei Zheng said with a bitter face.
Mo Ti's eyebrows and eyes are handsome, with a reddish-brown armor, a little less daughter charming, but a little more heroic, a little more heroic, a unique style, sitting in the hall, listening to the report of Si Wei, did not stop the action of rubbing his eyebrows lightly, but frowned and closed his eyes, and asked: "Who is the general of this patrol?" ”
Seeing this, Si Wei wanted to speak and stopped, he knew the difficulties of Lord Si Cheng, not only he knew, but who did not know the difficulties of the Mo family in this county and even in the entire Mo County.
The brown and red armor on Lord Si Cheng's body was stained red by the blood of the Mo family, but despite this, Mo Ti resolutely stepped forward and invited himself to be the ninth Si Cheng of the County Shou Si when he heard that no one in the entire Mo County dared to take on the post of the county guard.
Although since ancient times, there have been few women as officials, but this county guard was not appointed by the imperial court, but Wan Jun was established by the people in order to defend those Jin rangers to play the imperial court, and only allocated a little capital in the military salary, which was not considered to be appointed or dismissed by the imperial court, so no one objected.
Mo Ti saw the embarrassment of the guards, and also knew that these guards had some official names on the surface, but in fact, they were exchanged for their lives, they could have done some small business for the people with peace of mind, but they were willing to use their lives to protect everyone for the sake of Mo County. And those salaries and pensions were exchanged for the lives of these county guards, and now the county guards have no money to distribute, how can they not bother Mo Ti.
"Tell me, who is the general who came to patrol this time, I want to go and see it, Lord Wan has promised us, although the guards of the county guard department are not officials of the imperial court, they can also enjoy the death pension of Yanbei..."
Under Mo Ti's questioning, Si Wei said hesitantly: "This time, it is... General Gao. ”
"Bang!"
Hearing the name of General Gao, Mo Ti took the case and said angrily: "How could it be him, he is not... In previous years, there was a lot of compensation for the dead, but this year there has been no movement, so it is, no, I don't care how he got out of prison, this pension money was exchanged for the lives of those brothers... I'm going to go to him for a theory. ”
After speaking, Mo Ti threw off the cloak behind him, and was angry to go to the patrol barracks, but when Si Wei saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Master Mo, who is that General Gao, you don't know, he... Why should you go... It's really not good, the brothers in our division will make up again, let the fallen brothers be buried first, and then think about it in the long run. ”
Although Mo Ti is a daughter, her personality is hot but it is known all over the county, Si Wei is called Mo Jiang, and he also grew up in Mo County since he was a child, when the counties of Yanbei set up the county guard, all the people were afraid of the group of Northern Jin Dynasty rangers, and no one dared to sign up to join, only this Mo Jiang had seen the group of elusive rangers kill the people, and the blood in his chest surged up, and he took the lead in joining with more than ten brothers, which made the people who were watching join one after another.
In these years, Mo Jiang has followed the first eight county guards of the Mo family, and has personally watched these eight Mo family Sicheng lose the hands of those thieves in order to protect Mo County's life, and has also seen this youngest daughter of the Mo family with his own eyes.
Who is the leading general of the patrol army sent by Yanbei, Mo Jiang knows very well, relying on Gao Lian, the governor of Yaozhou, is his brother, and has become one of the three patrol generals of the Yanbei patrol and defenders.
When Wan Jun learned about it, he was furious and took him into custody, intending to be beheaded by military law, but after Gao Lian learned about it, he used Wan Jun's abuse of lynching to play to the court, and sent people to intimidate witnesses and destroy evidence... Emperor Shan Gao was far away, and when Qi Shao saw the twists, he only saw the understatement of the case, and finally only punished Gao Dengluo for one year on the charge of misconduct.
Wan Jun was furious, played the court, angrily reprimanded Gao Lian for misleading the country, and even more bluntly said, if this continues, Yanbei will not be guaranteed... Such rebellious words made Long Yan furious, and the emperor issued a decree to reprimand Wan Jun personally, ordering him not to judge the case again...
It's okay that Mo Jiang didn't persuade him, but under this persuasion, Mo Ti was even more annoyed, and was about to leave for Yanbei to patrol the military camp, but he heard a report from a guard outside the hall.
"Lord Mo, there is... There are living faces into the county of Mo. Si Wei rushed all the way and almost tripped over the threshold of the county guard, but with such important information, Si Wei didn't care about the pain in his feet and hurriedly reported it.
To say that this Mo County is located in the southernmost part of Yanbei City, there are countless merchants and dart bureaus coming and going from the south to the north, and the faces of the people are also ordinary, especially after the establishment of the county guard, it has indeed repelled the Northern Jin Dynasty rangers who came to attack and harass many times, but it was not expected that the next year, a group of darts with faces entered Mo County, but they tore off their disguises and looted and killed indiscriminately.
It was also that year that Mo Ti personally watched his father, who was the county keeper at the time, die under the knife of this group of people, and later learned that this group of dart masters were those Northern Jin Dynasty rangers pretending to be disguised. 33
Since then, Mo County has strengthened the inventory of merchants and dart shops, and every time a fresh face enters the realm of Mo County, Mo County is like a great enemy.
Hearing the report from Si Wei, a fresh face came, which made Mo Ti, who was angry and wanted to find Gordon's theory, instantly calmed down, frowned slightly, and immediately asked: "What does the person look like, have you carefully investigated." ”
Si Wei hurriedly said: "The person who came is a young offspring, one person and one ride... We've stopped us at the checkpoint. ”
Mo Ti couldn't help but reappear in front of his eyes, the seemingly kind merchant ripped off the dart clothes he wore outside his armor, and the steel knife slashed at his father's chest.
His eyes were slightly red, Mo Ti withdrew his thoughts, turned around and walked to the weapon rack behind him, took the family heirloom sword, pinned it to his waist, and said to Mo Jiang and the guards who came to report the news: "Order, all the guards of the county guard department are guarding their posts, and they are not allowed to leave without my order... I'll go to the sentry first, Mo Jiang, after you gather the twenty cavalry county guards, quickly go to the sentry to respond. ”
"Yes." Mo Jiang and Si Wei, who came to report, were ordered to leave.
After a stick of incense, Mo Jiang had already assembled the guards of the twenty counties, and everyone held their swords and slapped their horses towards the sentry outside Mo County.
Mo Ti was worried that the guard of the sentry would be in danger, so he kept smoking his horse and galloping all the way, seeing that the sentry was already visible.
It's not so much a sentry, but on the way to Mo County, a few horse rejection piles have been set up, and there are many poisonous miasma in the mountains of Yanbei, so it is only necessary to send three or five county guards to guard it in this continent, at this time, these guards are holding horse lances for interrogation, and Mo Ti has vaguely seen the living people stopped by the guards.
"Phew..."
Mo Ti stopped the horse, sank his face, and said to the county guard who was on guard: "Someone came to report that there is a fresh face to enter Mo County." ”
Seeing that Si Cheng was coming, the county guard who was on guard hurriedly replied: "The lord came just in time, this kid was sneaky, riding a horse forward, and was stopped by us, but he didn't tell him honestly, we just wanted to report to the lord, whether to capture the county guard and interrogate him strictly." ”
When Mo Ti heard this, he followed the direction of several county guards, and saw a person not far away, who was being held by the county guard's two horse lances around his neck.
"Big brothers, I've explained many times, I'm from the south, and this trip is to go to Yanbei City, and I'm really just passing through Mojun." The young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a green shirt, a leather waist, and an ebony wooden box behind him, and he is constantly explaining with a wry smile.
Mo Ti's heart suddenly became vigilant, this young man was alone, his body was thin, although he was held by two horse lances, but his bright eyes, there was no trace of fear, just this glance, Mo Ti knew that this young man was by no means an ordinary passing merchant.
Turning over and dismounting, Mo Ti walked at least in front of him, and asked, "Boy, where are you from, what are you going to do in Yanbei." ”
The young man was Gu Xiao who came all the way north from Fengjiabao, he was in a hurry, seeing that he had passed the Yanbei boundary monument, his heart slowed down a little, and he was about to continue moving forward, but he was blocked by the horse rejection pile in the middle of the road, and before Gu Xiao got off the horse to check, he was stopped by a few people who seemed to be dressed as Qi Yun's officers and soldiers.
Seeing that they looked like officials and were not completely dressed as Qi Yun's officers and soldiers, Gu Xiao couldn't tell for a while whether they were soldiers or bandits, and he was worried that breaking through would cause unnecessary trouble, so he said something to deal with.
In a hurry, Gu Xiao had gradually risen to the heart of breaking through, but saw the horse's hooves in the distance, and after a while, the woman in black red armor had arrived, and the few people who blocked her way respected her so much, they already knew that this woman's status was not low, and wanted to come forward to explain, how did she get off the horse, but the two big men beside him used the horse lance against the front chest and back of the heart, and could not take a step closer, so they had to stand up and reply.
"Under the surname Mu, the name is one, the name is from Liangzhou, and this trip is going to Yanbei to find people."
Mo Ti sneered: "Look at your body, you don't look like a person from the north, who went to Yanbei City to find." ”
The young man looked innocent and asked firmly, "Who are you?" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
