Chapter 555: The competition for the first place!
Hedong County, a place near the border of the Hedong Corridor.
A group of more than 3,000 people came from the Tatar steppe?
In addition to the hundreds of graduates who have just graduated from the political affairs school and have been arranged to pull people.
The rest of the thousands were all soldiers of the Yunzhou Army in full armor, who came specifically to escort them.
"Brother Zhang! You and I have always been the top of the political affairs school, but this time I will not be soft, and I will definitely do my best to bring back more people for my Yunzhou County! ”
Among the students, a handsome scribe in green clothes was full of fighting spirit and launched a challenge invitation to the white-clothed scribe on the side.
The white-clothed scribe who was called Brother Zhang was named Zhang Zheng, and since the opening of the Political Affairs School, his grades have always been among the best, and he has occupied the first place with the Tsing Yi scribe Li Lin all the year round, and both of them are the people of the year in the school.
Faced with the challenge of his old opponent, Zhang Zheng was unmoved.
Still lazily riding a horse, with a weed root in his mouth and chewing from time to time.
Seeing that his challenge was ignored, Li Lin was not annoyed, perhaps he was already used to it.
He continued to say to himself: "This time, Lord Taishou asked us to come to Hedong to pull people, but now is a good opportunity.
Hedong has just been plundered by the Huns, the people are living in poverty, and even their livelihood will become a problem, the imperial court's financial situation has been bad for these years, and it is unable to provide disaster relief, besides, even if His Majesty allocates disaster relief funds, whether it can reach the people is a problem.
In this case, our Yunzhou County has just won the three counties of the poison, and there is a large area of land that can be divided among these people, and recruiting people is naturally easy to capture.
However, we are from Yunzhou County, at least for now, my Yunzhou County is still a desolate place for the people of other states and counties in the Great Song Dynasty, how to make those people believe that as long as they follow us, they can live a good life This is the biggest difficulty of this trip!
The people of my Great Song Dynasty have always been forced to leave their homeland, and they are all people who are difficult to leave their homeland, and they want them to leave their homeland and follow us to unknown places in their eyes, how difficult is this?
I have reason to believe that this is an important test for us by the prince, and the more people who can be pulled back, the higher the official position that can be promoted in the system of Yunzhou County in the future!
And those who are small in number are based on the current lack of officials in my Yunzhou County. Although he will not have an official position, he can see the future at a glance, and at most he is the head of a county, and he will sit at the head.
I, Li Lin, have been determined to become one of the top levels of my Yunzhou County since I entered the Political Affairs School! Even in today's position as Taishou, I don't think my talent is as good as Taishou!
And if I want to achieve my ideals, the first place in this trial is the stepping stone I handed to the prince, so that the prince can remember me!
However, Brother Zhang's talent, I Li Lin also know, Brother Zhang has no less talent than me, so this time my biggest opponent is Brother Zhang, I believe that in Brother Zhang's heart, I, Li Lin, is also Brother Zhang's biggest opponent.
Let's use this trial to divide the ranks!
I will use actual proof that my talent will definitely be above Brother Zhang! ”
Li Lin said with confidence, turned his head and said to one of the Yunzhou County generals who led the team to protect them: "General, I have already chosen my destination, please give me a hundred guards!" Go to your destination! ”
The leading general was a small army commander of the Yunxiang Army, and when he heard this, he said: "You can think about it, you can't change it if you choose the destination."
You and Zhang Zheng are tied for the first place in the school, and the prince has given you the privilege of two people, allowing you two hundred people to guard, and you have the qualifications to choose the place of Shi Wei first.
Such good conditions, don't waste it, you should choose carefully! ”
Li Lin smiled and nodded heavily: "What the general said, Li Lin knows that Li Lin has indeed chosen a location, and he will definitely not regret it." ”
When the commander saw that his attitude was firm, he stopped persuading, and even said: "Okay, then I will also pick hundreds of elite soldiers for you, and I will definitely protect your safety!" ”
He finished arranging for people to go, but was stopped by Li Lin.
"General, wait a minute, as for the candidates for the guard, the students have already chosen, so I will transfer the one hundred Tatars among the generals to me."
The commander's expression was stunned for a moment, those 100 Tatar soldiers were just auxiliaries in the army, and they were turned to transport some materials for them, so naturally they couldn't compare with the regular soldiers of the Yunzhou Army in terms of combat effectiveness, how could Li Lin take a fancy to them?
"Are you sure?" He asked, confused.
Li Lin nodded affirmatively: "General rest assured, the students are well thought out." ”
"No regrets?"
"No regrets!"
"Okay, then transfer more than 100 of them to you!" The commander simply transferred more than 100 Tatar auxiliaries to him, anyway, their combat effectiveness was poor, and a few more would not affect anything.
When even ready to go.
After a while, more than 130 Tatar auxiliaries were brought to Li Lin with blank faces.
Under the guidance of the commander, they learned that the batch of future officials born in the Yunzhou Academy who were escorted by themselves and others actually took a fancy to them, and one of the two tied for the first place actually chose them to escort them, which made them excited.
Everyone knows that as the first batch of students of the Political Affairs School, these people will definitely be the best figures in Yunzhou County in the future, they are just some auxiliary soldiers, and they can only do some chores for the regular soldiers to transport things in the Yunzhou army.
If they can make friends with this person, it will be excellent for their future, but what they don't understand is why the other party doesn't choose them with strong combat effectiveness?
But these are no longer important. After the commander finished speaking, a group of Tatar soldiers immediately touched their chests with their hands and solemnly assured:
"Your nobles, please rest assured, we will definitely swear to protect the safety of your nobles!"
"In this case, the student has thanked you!"
After speaking, Li Lin bowed to the group of Tatar soldiers.
The students of the Political Affairs School were surprised for a while.
In Yunzhou County, there has never been a Song person saluting other races, and even if the Song people are just a peasant, they are more noble than the Tatar leaders!
Zhang Zheng, who had been watching this scene casually, suddenly narrowed his eyes, frowned slightly, and let out an imperceptible snort when he looked at the excited return of salutes by the Tatars.
Li Lin left with more than 130 Tatars, and their destination was Xifengkou, one of the important passes between Hedong County and the Xiongnu steppe.
However, not long ago, after the Xiongnu entered the Koukou, they were attacked by the Xiongnu from the inside and suffered great damage.
Although because of time, the Huns hurriedly grabbed things and left, but the people of Xifengkou had no food for the winter, and their lives were extremely sad.
If you can make the people believe that they can really have food if they follow them, where they can indeed attract a lot of people.
There are hundreds of thousands of people living around the Xifengkou alone.
Soon after Li Lin left, Zhang Zheng also proposed to the commander to leave, and he chose 100 elite soldiers of the Yunzhou Army in a proper manner.
It's just that the place he chose shocked the commander.
It turned out to be the Yumen Pass that was not broken by the Huns!
Where the people are not so sad!
The two leaders of the political affairs school gave the conductor two surprises, but then the other students also left one by one, and finally he himself stayed in the Hedong Corridor with more than 1,000 people.
When the time comes, they will send people over, and they will arrange for them to be sent back to Yunzhou County.
As for the rest, it's up to the ability and edification of these people!
