Chapter 54: Liao Soldiers

At a distance of 360 miles, Chen Wang led more than 60 cavalry all the way to the destination, and arrived at the destination on the afternoon of the third day.

If it weren't for the ambush set up by the rogues along the road, Chunhua could have been reached in the morning.

In ancient times, it was a siege, and it was difficult to encircle all the places, not to mention that the rogues did not besiege the city, but only scattered the rangers to be vigilant in all directions.

Under the escort of a group of cavalry, after showing the seal letter, Chen Wang entered the city safely.

Wang Zhaolin, the magistrate of Chunhua, did not have the lofty demeanor of the past, and even rushed to greet him in person.

Compared with the posture of not even letting them enter the city before, now it can be said to be low to dust.

As soon as Chen Wang entered the city, he eagerly asked when the follow-up reinforcements would arrive.

Although Chen Wang's military position is a thousand households, he is a five-grade product, while Wang Zhaolin, the magistrate, is only a seven-grade product.

But Chen Wang knew very well in his heart that this era was still heavy on civil and military affairs, and the relationship between these officials from Jinshi was intertwined, and they could not be easily offended.

Otherwise, he is now just a thousand presidents, even with the help of Cao Wenzhao, he will have to suffer a lot.

The Ming Dynasty used the civil and military forces, the civil heavy and the military light, this situation reached its peak at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the high-grade military attachés even needed to kneel and salute when they met some low-grade civil officials, such as the members of the military department.

"Don't worry about the county, I am ordered by the army to take over the defense of Chunhua City and integrate the soldiers in the city."

Chen Wang didn't kneel down and salute, but just arched his hand, the reason why he was wearing armor when he entered the city was also because he didn't want to salute.

For the officialdom of this era, he can be said to know nothing, he doesn't know what unspoken rules and rules, how to salute, how to salute, and no one teaches him.

"General Zuo is stationed in Pizhou, once the Liukou entrenched in Sanshui City goes south, he will attack Sanshui City to share the pressure for Chunhua."

"General Cao has also led his troops and horses from Pizhou to the south as the rear response of our army."

"Most of the elite people of the rogue army are horse soldiers and can't attack the city, the hungry soldiers of the infantry team are just a rabble, the defense of Chunhua City is strong, and the enemy is difficult to capture, please rest assured."

When Wang Zhaolin heard Chen Wang mention Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao, his eyes almost lit up and he let out a sigh of relief.

"It's good that Mr. Cao and Mr. Zuo are around, it's good if they are there......"

In the current Wang Zhaolin's heart, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu are as important as the Dinghai Divine Needle, and their hearts are a lot more stable.

Wang Zhaolin has a pale complexion and is quite obese.

It's the end of July, and it's the height of summer, and although the weather has been getting colder and colder over the years, the summer heat hasn't subsided much.

Wang Zhaolin held a silk towel and kept wiping the beads of sweat rolling down his face.

Chen Wang glanced at the white and chubby Wang Zhaolin, and somehow thought of a rumor from later generations.

There was a great drought in Henan, and the people sold their sons and daughters, and they ate their children, but then Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, was "drinking alcohol in the pavilion on a closed day, and only women advocated music".

The record in the "History of the Ming Dynasty": "Fu Wang Chang Xun was killed, and he became a soldier with the blood of the king, and he tasted it with mixed deer, and his name was Fulu wine." ”

However, it was rumored that after Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, he ordered someone to set up a cauldron, threw the fat King Fu into the pot, and stewed it with a few deer, and named it "Fu Lu Banquet".

It just so happens that Wang Zhaolin is a white fat man like King Fu, and the opposite side happens to be Li Zicheng, and the template is similar.

"What's wrong with my clothes?"

Wang Zhaolin noticed Chen Wang's strange gaze, and only thought that he was in a hurry to go out, and there was something disheveled or stained.

Chen Wang retracted his gaze, he naturally couldn't say that he was thinking, if Li Zicheng broke through the city, would he make you a low-profile version of the "Fulu Banquet".

Chen Wang's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said solemnly

"You can't be lazy with military orders under your body, can you tell me where the camp of the Liao soldiers is?"

Wang Zhaolin handed the sweat-stained silk scarf to the servant on the side, and then took out a new silk scarf.

"The camp of the Liao soldiers is in the northeast corner of the city."

"Chen Qianhu, you don't know how arrogant these Liao soldiers have been these days!"

Wang Zhaolin scolded in a low voice with anger on his face.

"Every day in the camp clamoring, wanting to eat meat and drink wine, if you don't give it, you curse in groups, and even hold knives and guns to gesqueal, and these days the city has caused constant disputes in the city."

Xiucai couldn't explain why he met the soldiers, and Wang Zhaolin was also helpless about these Liao soldiers.

On the one hand, they have to rely on them, and on the other hand, their military discipline is really embarrassing.

He didn't want to let these routs enter the city, but when he saw a large number of rogue horse teams appearing, the defenders in the city were just like that, although these Liao soldiers said that the military discipline was corrupt, but the Liao soldiers could indeed fight, and they were also put into the city at the moment.

There were a lot of disputes in the city, all of which were conflicts between the Liao soldiers and the people in the city, and relying on several classes of officials in the county, Wang Zhaolin really had no way to solve these problems.

It is useless to fold and participate in one of them, Zhang Waijia is dead, and now the biggest official of the Liao soldiers is a general.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up slightly, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he already had a simple plan in his heart.

"Can the county have files for these disputes?"

If you want to doze off, someone immediately brings you a pillow.

In this day and age, controlling an army is nothing more than twelve words.

Grace and power are equally important, the orders are strict, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

It's easier said than done.

"Nature is, nature there is."

Wang Zhaolin had a slight smile on his face.

"Then bother the county to send someone to take my subordinates to the county government and get the file."

Chen Wang arched his hand again and asked Hu Zhili to follow Wang Zhaolin's men to the county government to get the file.

After that, Chen Wang didn't mean to communicate with Wang Zhaolin more, and after a few simple answers, he led a group of cavalry to the camp of the Liao soldiers in the northeast.

Along the way, there were almost no pedestrians.

In fact, most of the prefectures and counties in Shaanxi are like this, and several hard-hit prefectures and counties have withered in population, and many cities have even become empty cities.

There are still a lot of these cities located in Guanzhong.

However, there are exceptions.

No matter how fierce the war in Shaanxi is, it will not affect the drunken gold fans in Xi'an, and it will be brilliant.

When Gao Yingxiang led more than 20 troops to besiege Xi'an City, there were still voices of silk and bamboo in Xi'an City, in the palace of King Qin, and in the mansions of those dignitaries.

Chunhua City is not big, Chen Wang led everyone to enter the city from the south, and it only took half an hour to reach the northeast corner of the county - outside the camp of the Liao soldiers.

Chen Wang frowned slightly and raised his eyes to look at the camp.

The gates of the camp were wide open, and not a single guard was found.

However, the camp was full of people, and there were even women's voices mixed in with them.
