Chapter 61: Canggu Transfers the Roster
At the moment, Yan Xiang Taihao said slowly: "The current situation of our Cat Clan Eastern Empire is internal and external, the eastern Japanese state has repeatedly invaded the coastal areas of our country, the people have been disturbed by it, and they have repeatedly negotiated, and local officials have repeatedly come to the court to help fight against the Japanese, and the emperor has sent troops to the emperor a few months ago. Bandits and bandits are rampant in the south, and they have formed gangs and endangered the local people many times. The Tibetan region in the west was ambitious and had always had a tendency to expand to the Central Plains. In the north, there are rebels such as Yao Fuji and Na Bugan, intending to subvert the power of the Eastern Empire, our cat clan is facing huge challenges in these aspects, and the emperor has to face so many problems at the same time, how can he only take care of the peace of the north and ignore the stability of other regions. ”
His words made Taihao fall into thought: I really didn't expect that the country would have so many problems that needed to be solved. But when I first entered the officialdom, how should I share the burden for the emperor as a courtier, it seems that I have to ask Mr. Yanfang and Brother Canggu for advice.
Thinking of this, Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "But I am only a shallow learner, and without the assistance of the imperial court, I really don't know how to deal with those rebels." ”
Cang Gu smiled faintly and said: "Brother Taihao is too humble, since the emperor will appoint Brother Taihao to become the deputy general of Pinghe City, he must trust Brother Taihao." When the emperor sent us to office, he repeatedly emphasized that we must complete the task he gave us, and dare to ask Brother Taihao if he still remembers what the task was? ”
Tai Hao said: "The task assigned by the emperor will always be kept in mind in the next time. The first task was to investigate how many soldiers and horses there were in Pinghe City, including officers and soldiers and militia. The second task is to take charge of the soldiers and horses of Pinghe City. He looked around, sighed softly, and said with a ashamed face: "Now Brother Canggu is the general of Luyang City, and he must have completed the emperor's task, but I ...... Now I don't even know how many soldiers and horses there are in Pinghe City, and I am really ashamed. ”
Cang Gu clenched his fists and said: "Brother Taihao, don't say this again, the top priority at the moment is not to wait for the order of the imperial court, but we also have to discuss when to start the army?" ”
Taihao didn't understand what Canggu meant for a while, and hurriedly asked, "...... Raising troops too? ”
Canggu nodded and said: "This is actually what the emperor meant, the emperor let us take charge of the military power of the city where we serve, the purpose is to let us lead the army to revolt, but our uprising is not aimed at the imperial court, but to suppress the rebels in the city." ”
Tai Hao was surprised: "This plan is good! It turned out that the reason why the emperor put us in charge of the military was to suppress the local rebellion. ”
Yan Fang on the side said: "The stability of the northern part of the Eastern Empire is closely related to the development of the entire country, and it is one of the important prerequisites for the prosperity of the Eastern Empire. To ensure the stability of the north, it is necessary to have officials trusted by the imperial court to take charge of the military power. Now, Lord Canggu has successfully taken over the military power of Luyang City. Dare to ask Lord Taihao, when will he be able to take charge of the military power of Pinghe City? ”
Tai Hao slurped: "This ......"
Cang Gu took out a booklet wrapped in brown paper from his bosom at this time and handed it to Tai Hao, saying: "This is given to me by the emperor when I was in the capital, and the emperor told me that if the Taihao brothers are in trouble, when they come to Luyang City to see me, give this roster to the Taihao brothers." ”
Taihao took the roster with both hands, opened the brown paper on it, and took it out to look at it. The roster has more than ten pages in total, recording ten names, and next to each name is written in detail information such as official position, age, and place of origin. Taihao turned to the last page of the roster, and there were four big characters written "burn after reading".
Cang Gu continued: "The emperor said that these are the officials assigned by the imperial court to Pinghe City in recent years, and the officials who have been rebelled by the imperial court, they are all trustworthy. The Taihao brothers should keep these names in mind and burn them after reading them. ”
Taihao knew that the reason why he was burned immediately after reading it was because he was worried that the name in the roster would leak out. At this time, Taihao secretly thought in his heart: Why did the emperor not hand over this roster directly to himself when he was in the capital, but to Canggu, and he didn't see it until now. Do you not believe in yourself, or do you want to train yourself?
Don't think about it, ten names, to remember now. Taihao thought that their age and place of origin could not be remembered, as long as their names and official positions could be remembered. He hurriedly started from the beginning and carefully recited the names on the roster in his mind:
Da Shunqu, the general of Pinghe City;
Fu Ganhe, a military cadet in Pinghe City;
Zhicheng Port, deputy lieutenant of the Fifth Army of Pinghe City;
Yu Qishuo, Pinghe City Sicang joined the army;
That Zhong Ding, Pinghe City Judicial Army;
Qingyun, the first left battalion of the Second Army of Pinghe City captured the tiger general;
Ming Trace, the last three battalions of the three armies of Pinghe City won the tiger general;
Jian Chen, the rat slashing officer of the right battalion of the Fourth Army of Pinghe City;
Lan Kai, Warden of Pinghe City Prison;
Yi Qingfu, the steward of the city lord's mansion of Pinghe City.
Taihao read it silently twice, and he already remembered it. Tai Hao sighed: "It turns out that the power of the imperial court has already infiltrated Pinghe City, no wonder I am a fledgling, and the emperor dares to let me serve as the deputy general of Pinghe City......"
Canggu said: "Of course the emperor trusts you very much, has Brother Taihao memorized all these names on the roster?" ”
Taihao nodded and said, "It's all in mind!" ”
Cang Gu instructed one of the family members to bring a fire fold and burn the roster in front of him. After the roster was burned, Cang Gu smiled: "Brother Taihao now has confidence in quelling the traitors?" ”
Tai Hao nodded and said, "To be honest, I have already talked to General Da Shunqu, and General Da Shunqu has given me some instructions. Now that I know the list of officials placed by the imperial court in Pinghe City, it really makes me full of confidence. It's just that I'm a little strange why the steward of the City Lord's Mansion can also be rebelled by the imperial court. ”
Canggu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this......"
Tai Hao continued to ask, "According to Brother Canggu's wishes, when are we going to revolt to suppress the traitors?" ”
Canggu said: "Today, that pawn was invited by Yao Fuji, and he should also be going to talk about the army." My plan with Mr. Yanfang is to revolt on the third day of March next year and take down the traitors directly. ”
Tai Hao thought for a while and said, "On the way to Luyang City, I saw an official's carriage passing by, it should have been done by that pawn." If there is an uprising on the third day of March next year, then I will sit in the position of the general of the city defense and take charge of the army before then. But now, I wonder if the traitors such as Fudge will advance their start date? ”
Canggu Zhengse said: "I am now in charge of the military power of Luyang City, with me, at least Luyang City will not start on time according to their plan, I will delay until the third day of the third month of March, and directly order the arrest of the thief!" ”
Taihao nodded and said, "I think I already know what to do." ”
Canggu paused and said, "You and I are both courtiers who serve the emperor, and we should share the emperor's worries." If Brother Taihao encounters any difficulties, he can send his subordinates to Luyang City to find me at any time, and I will definitely do my best to solve problems for Brother Taihao. ”
Tai Hao nodded, and arched his hand: "Today's time is urgent, I have to leave early, I went out of the city smoothly on the grounds of going out of the city to hunt, if I return to the city late, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Yao Fuji, so I will say goodbye." With that, he got up and prepared to leave.
Canggu said: "Since this is the case, then Brother Taihao will go back early today, and you must pay attention to safety on the road." ”
After saying goodbye to Canggu and Yanfang, Taihao quickly left Luyang City.
Halfway through, an evil wind blew from nowhere, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. The horse that Tai Hao was riding fell to the ground suddenly, only to hear the sound of "oops", and Tai Hao was also thrown to the ground heavily. He hurriedly got up, only to see that it was dark in front of him, so he looked back, only to see a bright light fleeting, and then saw a black shadow approaching him not far away, Taihao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I thought to myself: What kind of magic can this magic suddenly turn a clear sky into a dark cloud, it seems that I am in trouble.
Suddenly, two figures flashed from the left side of his body, and one of them swung his fist at Tai Hao, so frightened that Tai Hao's hand trembled and he almost fell again. But he reacted quickly and immediately crouched down to dodge the punch. But at this moment, two figures also flashed on the right side of his body, one of them swept his leg towards him, Taihao couldn't dodge and hit the ground. Seeing this, Taihao had to use "Snow Cat Flutter" to fight them. Just as he was about to use the first trick of "chasing the wind and catching the shadow", he saw the four figures hurriedly retreat to the side, and one of them shouted: "This kid is going to use "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow", the brothers dodge and let the Kuozha hero come to fight him!" ”
In the blink of an eye, the dark shadow that was approaching him behind him just now walked in front of him. Directly pushed out with one palm, only to see that his palm hit Tai Hao's chest like a boulder, Tai Hao was suddenly weak, and he couldn't put on the move of "chasing the wind and catching shadows". Tai Hao was instantly knocked to the ground by his palm, he looked carefully at the appearance of the black shadow, but found that it was the Kozha Demba from Tibet. Tai Hao roared angrily: "Why are you blocking my way? ”
Kozha Demba sneered: "You kid is really not resistant to fighting, have you not practiced any internal skills, just like you, what's the use of only remembering the moves of "Snow Cat Fluttering", the true qi in your body is very insufficient!" ”
The four black shadows that appeared on both sides of Taihao's body just now also walked over, and one of them laughed and said: "Kuozha Daxia is really strong in martial arts, after this kid has practiced this "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow", our four brothers are no longer his opponents, I didn't expect Kuoza Daxia to knock this kid down with one palm, I really admire and admire!" ”
Tai Hao listened to this voice so familiar, carefully looked at the appearance and outfit of the four of them, and found that they were actually the "four little ghosts": ghost leaves, ghost stems, ghost flocculents and ghost roots. Taihao couldn't help but be curious, when he was in Fengling City, he had obviously beaten the ghost root to death, why did he come back to life, didn't he die? Just as Taihao was about to ask them to understand, the ghost said: "Our fourth brother was killed by you, today we are here to take revenge, before dying, hurry up and hand over the cheats of "Snow Cat Fluttering"!" ”
Taihao stood up and asked him, "Aren't you four good, I really thought that I beat your fourth brother to death last time, but it turned out that you were not dead, why do you still say that you were killed by me?" ”
Ghost said: "Boy, you really don't understand the rules of our Kunwu Mountain. Seeing that you are going to die today, I will explain it to you. In our Kunwu Mountain, as long as one of our brothers dies, we have to find a similar-looking one to replace us and become a new member. Our previous fourth brother was killed by you, and now this is our new fourth brother. But we still have to take revenge! ”
Ghost Ye frowned and said, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense with this kid." Today, we will cut off this kid's cat head and go back to pay tribute to the fourth brother! ”
Koza Demba said sharply: "Don't even speak! Boy, let me ask you, where is the secret of "Snow Cat Fluttering"? Hand him over! ”
