Chapter 242: Peeling

Of course, Zhang Wen knew that it was not so easy to do, so he chose a host for each county, and they were all elders of the court.

Among them, Yingchuan, the host he appointed was Yingyin Xunshuang. His person is the sixth dragon of the Xun's eight dragons, proficient in easy management, and the most unique. Now Xun Shuang is at home because of the disaster of the party. Zhang Wen wanted him to be the training envoy of the Yingchuan regiment, although Xun Shuang had only been a councilor, but he had a high reputation and a wide range of contacts, and he could also be qualified to host any county.

Then there is Runan, if you don't think about it, the host must be Runan Yuan's. Now there are four people in the main line of the older generation of the Yuan family, Yuan Ping, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui, the first three of which have passed away, and only Yuan Kui is now Situ. And there is another branch of the side line named Yuan He, who is also a moral man, although he has also passed away, he has three sons, but they are all a temporary choice. The eldest son Yuan Hong was a hermit, the second son Yuan Zhong was a righteous man, and the younger son Yuan Hong was a wise man. In addition to these three people, there are also six people of the same generation, Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu, Yuan Manlai, Yuan Yida, and Yuan Renda. It can also be seen from this that the Yuan family of Runan is prosperous and the success rate is high.

As for who to choose as the host, Zhang Wen thought about it a lot. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will definitely not be able to choose, it's not that these two people are not intelligent, but these two people are the backbone of the eunuch faction in Beijing, and they have been dancing very hard. Zhang Wen and the eunuchs and their party are mutually supportive, and they instinctively don't want people like Yuan Shao to come out. Ranking these few, his favorites are Yuan Hong, Yuan Zhong and Yuan Ji. The first two do have a good reputation, but both of them are victims of the disaster of the party, and they are obviously close to the anti-eunuch faction in terms of political tendencies, so they can only choose Yuan Ji.

It's okay in this way, the children of the Yuan Ji clan have a good reputation, and they deserve to be the host of Runan.

After selecting the most important two places, Yingchuan and Runan, the rest is much easier.

There are not many clans of the ministers of the Liang State, and most of the others are families of scripture and learning, and there are not many clansmen, so Zhang Wen quickly selected Suiyang Qiaomao as the host of the Liang State. After the Suiyang Qiao clan became a captain from Qiao Xuan, his family voice also jumped from the house of two thousand stones to the family of the princess, Qiao Xuan's son Qiao Yu is now serving as a prince in Yanzhou, and this Qiao Mao is the nephew of the old captain of Qiao Xuan, so he is naturally the best candidate for this host.

After that, Peiguo, the family of Peiguo has the Cao family and the Ding family of Qiaoxian County; Xiao County Liu, his family of two generations and three dukes; Among the three, because of personal relations, Zhang Wen left the position of host to the Cao family of Qiaoxian County. Zhang Wen doesn't care about what melons and plums, for him, he can choose talents without avoiding relatives. He is most familiar with people he knows, and he also knows his talents, so he naturally uses them with confidence. The best of Cao's generation is Cao Cao, but now in his shogunate, in addition to Cao Hong and Cao Ren. Among them, Cao Hong's family background is the best, his father is General Wei, and his uncle is Shang Shuling, but Cao Ren's family background is not bad, and his father is a captain of Changshui.

After discussing with Cao Cao, Zhang Wen chose Cao Hong as the host of Peiguo and asked Cao Ren to assist. Zhang Wen has learned that Cao Ren is rampant in the Huaisi area, and there are thousands of people, who happen to be the backbone of the group training.

After that, it's Chen Guo. Chen Guo is a bit special, that is, Liu Chong, the king of Chen in this generation, is a little restless, and the princes gather armor soldiers, which is quite a bit of the taste of King Qiwu, the brother of Emperor Guangwu. In order to balance his people, Zhang Wen chose Yuan Jian of the Yuan clan of Chen County as the host. The Chenjun Yuan clan and the Runan Yuan clan are both the same ancestor, and the two families are also inextricably linked to the same family. ….

As for Yuan Shuqi, he is the son of Lao Situ, who used to be a confessor to supervise the Fengying and Huya Battalions, but things were not done well and he has been recaptured and returned to his hometown. This time, Zhang Wen used him, just to sell personal favors. These families of the clans, you help me, I help you, so the tie comes. However, this Yuan Jian is not blind, after all, he has the experience of confronting the Taishan army.

In the end, there is Lu Guo, which is also the most pity. Originally, the most suitable host of Lu Guo was Kong Rong, but before that, his people had died in the battle with the Taishan thieves, and even because of that battle, almost all of Lu Guo's clothes were swept away. Fan Xiang, an old party member, also died at that station, which is a pity!

In the end, Zhang Wen made a lot of choices, and found one person, Lu Guoyan's Yan Sheng. But although he is a native of Lu, it is said that he has moved to Langya, and now he can only be called back to his hometown and then reorganized the Lu national regiment.

Zhang Wen is still satisfied with the above candidates, these six group training organizers are either celebrities or children of the Gong family, or they are moral families, which to a certain extent ensures that the group training of the six counties of Yuzhou can be controlled in their hands.

For these six regimental training envoys, Zhang Wen still fully delegated power. He specially allowed these six group drills so that the organizers could not be constrained by the three mutual laws when they were selected, and they could choose talented people from their hometowns and in-laws' families to serve as group drills.

Moreover, the ministry of these six regimental training envoys is to supervise the affairs of the regiment rather than to assist in the local affairs. In other words, these six regimental trainers have a very large self-esteem, and they don't need to rely on local snorts to act. They were only dispatched by General Zuo Zhonglang, and other other counties and counties had no right to interfere in the supervision and handling of the six regiments.

The above is the greatest support that Zhang Wen gave to the six regimental training envoys within his ability, but there is one item that each regimental training envoy has to solve, that is, the regimental training of each county must be responsible for their own money and food supply. The court could not take care of their supply of money and food.

That is to say, after the training envoys of these six regiments start the regiment, they need to handle the military supplies by themselves, so to a certain extent, these six families must first dig out their own funds to raise the army.

This must be a great burden for the six regimental training envoys, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and if they use their own money to raise soldiers, then in the end, these regimental training units will inevitably become the private soldiers of these six people.

Zhang Wen naturally knows it, but the above is already his greatest support, and if he wants to raise these soldiers again, the court really can't afford to raise them.

In this way, Zhang Wen threw out the heavy news of letting the six counties of Yuzhou start a regimental training at the military meeting, and then ordered the generals to go back to reorganize the troops, and three days later, they will pour their troops south to Runan, and attack the Taiping Road in Runan before and after.

After many generals went back, they digested the information, and Zhang Wen left Zhao Rong, the captain of the Chinese military academy, after the meeting.

Zhang Wen met Zhao Rong alone in the inner room, and said to him directly:

"Childish, you are a martial artist from Xizhou, and you are already sensitive, so you need to obey orders even more. Do you think Huangfu Song can still rely on you anymore?"

Zhao Rong immediately stated:

"Zhao Rong is a rough man, but the handsome man is the first to look forward."

See Zhao Rong's interest, Zhang Wen:

"Okay, now that you know, I'll give you a clear way."

Zhao Rong is respectful:

"Please show me the marshal."

"This time you go south, you must cage the officials of the other three battalions, so that they can understand who the current commander is, this time to go south to fight the Runan Yellow Turban, the battle is not difficult. As long as this battle is fought well, not only will the previous crimes be written off, but I will also write to the court to ask for credit for you. The elder knows what is right and what is wrong." ….

"The last general understands that he will live up to the cultivation of the marshal."

"Well, I've made it clear before the military conference that this battle is important. As a veteran general in the army, you must see the overall situation in your eyes, and the yellow scarves in Runan are not to be worried, but the important thing is to go north later. As long as the Tarzan thieves are annihilated this time, they will give whatever they want. But remember, you only have one chance, and you have to take it."

"Whoa!"

-------------------

On August 20, Taishan's army conquered Xinzheng. Zhang Chong led a large army into the city, and after the whole army ate a meal of pork, he left 500 soldiers to garrison, and then continued to go north, and the next thing they wanted to attack was Mi County.

Mi County is located at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, upstream of Weishui, which was originally the fief of the Zhou royal family and nobles, but was later destroyed by Zheng Guo, and now belongs to Henan. Its county belongs to the Songshan East extension of the remaining veins of the area, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the central hills and valleys are intertwined, and the east is relatively flat. There are few plains in the territory and most of them are hills, known as two divided mountains, six divided hills, and two divided fields.

Because Mi County is located in the land of Gyeonggi and there are many wealthy families, the already small amount of land is concentrated in the hands of the Hao, and many dilapidated households who can't survive can only run into Songshan, open up mountain fields, and be a mountain squatter without a hometown.

On August 22, a caravan of chariots and horses hurriedly walked along the official road from Mixian to Kyoto.

In the ox cart, a slightly chubby young man kept asking his companion how long it would be until the next station.

When he knew that the master was urging him, he was worried that something would happen along the way.

All of them are worried because their master has done all the bad things, and now they are worried that someone will come to take revenge. After telling the master that there were still ten miles and comforting the owner's anxious mood, the companion looked at the Songshan Mountain on the west side and sighed.

This chariot and horse team is none other than the current Mixian Ling Suo Qi and his party.

Suo Qi came from Dunhuang Suo, his family was relegated to Dunhuang because of the direct admonition of Yan during the period of Emperor Wu, and then in the Han Dynasty, he was a first-class family in Dunhuang.

Since Suo Qi was promoted to filial piety, because of the court's policy of benevolence to Hexi, he deliberately made a decree of Mi County, Henan County. However, since Suo Qi made the county order, he used torture, fabricated injustices, and harmed the people together with the big clans in the county, and bent the law for bribes, and the county leaders hated him to the core.

A few days ago, when the Taishan thieves went north into Henan County and broke Xinzheng in the north, even Xinzheng Chang was hung in the public, Suo Qi was panicked. You must know that the official reputation of the new Zheng Chang is much stronger than himself, and he will not escape death in the end, let alone him.

Suo Qi, who has a clear understanding of himself, no longer dares to be lucky, hangs up the seal and abandons the official, and flees to Kyoto with the domestic servants and the money he has seized over the years.

He had already made up his mind that as long as half of his net worth bribed the ten permanent servants, he would be fine. At that time, he will only return to his hometown with half of his net worth, which will be enough for a lifetime. Not to mention, the Central Plains of this flower is much richer than Hexi.

The convoy walked for a while and encountered a temple in front of it, and Suo Qi's little wife kept shouting that she had pain in her lower abdomen and wanted to rest. Helpless, Suo Qi had no choice but to rest here for a while.

The concubines over there served the little wife safely, but Suo Qi looked at the temple in front of him with his companion and read the name:

"Zhuo Mao Temple? Who is this?" ….

The companion was speechless for a while, and his master really didn't learn countless things, and he didn't know anything about the country.

"Master, this Zhuo Mao is an old lady in the Guangwu period."

"Oh? I don't know, what did this prince say, and someone else built an ancestral hall for him?"

Companion Suo Qi has been in Mi County for a few years, so he naturally knows why the people of Mi County will build an ancestral hall for this Zhuo Mao. It's just that I didn't expect that my own master didn't know anything, but also, the owner didn't even know who Zhuo Mao was, let alone what he did.

The companion was born in the Suo's family, and he had to learn allusions to the dynasty since he was a child, in order to assist the Suo's master in communicating. So at this moment, the companion just explained to Suo Qi:

"Master, Mrs. Zhuo once made the Mi County Order in the Xinmang period, and he educated the people with etiquette, and governed the Mi County without leaving it untouched and not closing the door at night. There was even a year when there were locusts in the world, and more than 20 counties in Henan were affected by it, and they were not allowed to enter the boundaries of Mi County. I was touched by Mrs. Zhuo's morality. Therefore, after the disaster that year, the people of Mi County built this ancestral hall for Zhuo Taifu to thank him for his merits in protecting the people. Later, during the Yanxi period, Shangshi Huang and Lao Dao demolished many ancestral halls in Gyeonggi, but the special edict retained this Zhuo Mao Temple, which is to respect the morality of the old lady and educate the people."

The companion said that the original intention of these was to use the past to satirize the present, hoping that the master could learn from Zhuo Taiwei, love the people like a son, and stop mutilating those poor and poor.

But who knows, when Suo Qi heard it, he immediately disdained:

"Isn't that? They in the Central Plains are just talking about these falsehoods all day long, deceiving those leaders. We haven't seen locusts in Hexi, that thing comes together, the whole piece will be eaten, who cares if you make sense, it's really nonsense. In terms of inviting names, they are still from the Central Plains!"

The companion is speechless, his own master is smart, but it is useless on the right path. Being so confused by his own master, I am tired and don't want to talk about it.

But he didn't want to say it, Suo Qi was in high spirits because of the return of a city, he spared the Zhuo Mao wood carving, and saw that there was a clay sculpture in the back room, dressed as a general, and said curiously:

[Given the circumstances, "Who is this?"

Bandang carefully looked at the eulogy on both sides, and said uncertainly:

"It should be the twenty-eighth general of Yuntai in the Guangwu period, Liu Zhi, Marquis of Changcheng. It is said that he died in Mi County, and he should have made a sculpture here, and I will look at the inscription here."

When I read the inscription carefully, I roughly talked about the achievements of Guan Hui who welcomed the lord in Changcheng, surrendered Liu Yang, and pacified Hebei, and grieved that he died in Mi County.

"Well, that's right, it's the Marquis of Changcheng."

When this side was confirmed, Suo Qi over there suddenly sighed, and saw his humanity:

"That Zhuo Mao is just a rotten Confucian, and neither is Liu Zhi

It was a local tyrant in the Northland. And now a successful Taifu is the emperor's teacher, and the other is immediately made a marquis and a meritorious dog for the emperor. Whose work is it?"

Companion was uncertain:

"Effort?"

Suo Qi shook his head and stretched out his finger:

"Because they all met Guangwu, they had this opportunity, you know."

Companion should understand.

Then Suo Qi sighed:

"Hate has no glory, so I only became a rich man. Ah Cheng, do you believe it or not, if your master also meets a character like Guangwu, I, Dunhuang Suo, can also be the home of Guangwu Patriarch. It's a pity!" ….

Bandang looked at the master's self-contained appearance and was speechless again.

Suddenly, Suo Qi saw a line of words on the wall:

"Those who become public are also from Mi County. He didn't return it for a long time at the beginning, and then he returned, saying to his family: I have become immortal. Leaving home because of resignation. When the family saw that his steps were a little higher, there was no cloud for a long time."

Suo Qi was taken aback and muttered:

"Are there immortals here?"

The companion was not sure, but pointed to the names of the people below, one was Chen Yu and the other was Han Shao, and said to his master:

"Aren't these two the ancestors of the Yingchuan Chen clan and the Han clan, here are the inscriptions of the two of them, saying that they both witnessed this together, these two moral families, so this matter should be credible."

Suo Qi touched the white wall and sighed:

"How much fame and fortune have turned into dust, wouldn't it be immortal if you can become an immortal like this immortal?"

Just when Suo Qi aroused the desire to seek the Tao in his heart, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside.

A house slave crawled into the temple corridor covered in blood, and said to the two masters and servants in panic:

"Lord, there are secret thieves outside, they suddenly burst out of the roadside, and they kill people when they see them. They shouted in their mouths, punish the thief, and welcome the peace. Lord, run."

Suo Qi panicked, and hurriedly rushed out of the temple with his companions.

I saw fighting everywhere, the wooden boxes on the cart were cut off, and the money was spilled all over the ground. Those black bandits were fighting for the money while killing their own family rolls.

The companion over there had already sneaked into a carriage, and he kicked over a thief who wanted to get into the carriage, and yelled at Suo Qi, who was staying:

"Master, get in the car."

Suo Qi was excited, and hurriedly climbed into the car, and when he was frightened, his companion was already driving the carriage and speeding towards the north.

The movement of this carriage directly revealed their identities. Under the reprimand of several leaders, the thieves who were vying for their belongings reluctantly chased after the carriage.

The Mishan Thieves are a group of bandits entrenched in Mishan County. The beginning time is not long, during the period of Emperor Huan, Mishan is still quite prosperous, and many hermits still live in seclusion in this Mishan, on the one hand, to raise hope, on the other hand, to teach students.

For example, Zhong Hao, the ancestor of the Zhong family of the Changshe Society, once lived in seclusion here. His people are few known as dutiful deeds, and the public mansion is even opened, and he is the second brother who is not a scholar, avoiding the secret mountain, and teaching more than 1,000 disciples with poetry and rhythm. Later, he became a model for scholars.

Generally speaking, the beauty of this hermit lies in the fact that the purpose of its concealment is to make it visible. Therefore, the so-called hermits will live in seclusion near Gyeonggi, where the powerful gather, so as to spread their reputation. Otherwise, if you really live in seclusion, wouldn't you just go directly to the mountains and Daze in the south?

But this seclusion, and you can't be too close to the capital, otherwise people will think that you are inviting names. Therefore, this Mishan has become an excellent retreat for Yingchuan celebrities.

It is located in the middle of Yingchuan and Kyoto, which is not far from home, but also not far from Kyoto, so it can be said that family and state affairs are not delayed.

But in recent years, the world has not been quiet, especially in Mi County, because of the annexation of the fields, more and more Qiantou left their homes to go to the mountains to reclaim the land, and the hermits were so annoyed that they gave up this place. In the end, this mountain became the home of the frustrated and bankrupt.

And this group of Mishan thieves who want to besiege and kill Suo Qi have a blood feud with them, and most of their land is for their people, and now they hear the news and know that Suo Qi abandoned the official and fled for his life, so they ambushed Suo Qi here together. ….

However, although the Mishan thieves have a unified title, they are actually not related, they are all a group of rabble, and when they see the money and silk all over the ground, they have no intention of chasing and killing

Soch.

In the end, only more than 30 people chased after Suo Qi.

The companion who was driving hurriedly called the owner of the car to open the back box and asked him to throw everything inside. Suo Qi opened the box as he said, only to see that there were pieces of horseshoe gold inside.

Suo Qi couldn't think about where these horseshoe gold came from, so he hurriedly threw them out of the car, throwing more than a dozen pieces of gold along the way. At this moment, more than 30 people who were chasing and killing behind stopped more than 20 people directly.

You know, this is gold, not the copper coins and silk over there. All it takes is a piece of gold, and everything is there. How could these broken Shanliao stand this temptation, and they all buried their heads in their choices, and no one cared about Suo Qi.

But there was one person who was different, he didn't even look at the yellow gold shining with temptation on the ground, and he walked and kept chasing and killing. There were five companions behind him, and he wanted to pick them up, but when he saw them like this, he finally gritted his teeth and chased after them.

The carriage panicked, and although it lost its weight and lost its weight, it went faster and faster, but the road became more and more shaky, and at last the wheel ran over a stone, and the whole carriage overturned.

Suo Qi in the car fell out of the car directly and almost closed his breath. After a while, he came to his senses, and when he saw the scene in front of him, it was really miserable.

His companion Ren Shengsheng was hit in the chest by a cart, which would continue to vomit blood, looking at Suo Qi's gaze, which was gradually darkening.

Suo Qi didn't have time to grieve, the footsteps behind him came, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly ran into a mountain road and ran towards the mountain.

After a while, the six people who were chasing after him ran to the side of the overturned carriage out of breath. Seeing that the companion was already out of breath, the person at the head directly untied the short knife and cut off the head of the companion neatly.

Looking at the withered corpse, the person who led him was directly tied around his waist with the hair of his companion. The gushing blood directly stained his hem red, but he was unmoved.

The Mishan thief Kui was cutting his head there, and one of the people behind him had already observed a series of footprints going straight into the mountain, and he hurriedly said to Kui:

"Kui, that rope ran into the mountains, and he really killed himself."

Suo Pao Pi is Suo Qi's name, and the reason why he is so called is not because of how greedy he is, but because he is really cruel to the point of killing people and picking up skin.

The thief who heard this said:

"This time, I will avenge my father, and let this rope peel taste the pain of peeling. Let's go, catch up."

In this way, the six of them followed Suo Qi's footsteps all the way to kill, and finally caught up with this person under a giant tree. This is not surprising, these six people are all begging for life in the mountains, how can Suo Qi compare to them when he escapes into the mountains? It's only a matter of time before it's caught up.

Suo Qi sat paralyzed on the ground, this section of the mountain road was tired of him, looking at the approaching six people, especially seeing the head of their companion tied around the waist of the leader, Suo Qi panicked:

"Heroes, spare my life. I have money, and I will give as much as you want. Spare my life."

The leader of the thieves looked at the panicked Suo Qi, smiled, and asked:

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

Suo Qi is really dying, he really doesn't know who this person in front of him is.

The thief smiled, picked up a copper seal from his coat pocket, and threw it to Suo Qi.

Suo Qi picked it up, only to see that it was written:

"Ting Peng's Seal."

Suo Qi was so excited that he lost his voice in fright:

"You're the son of Stingpeng. I didn't kill your father, and his death has nothing to do with me. Please, you let me go, I really don't want to die, woo."

Suo Qi was already wet under his body, he was really urinating, because he knew how that Stingpeng died, he was skinned to death.

This time, he's done.

Please call me Mr. Chen
