Chapter 124: Yizhou City
Also as the state capital, Yizhou City is much more prosperous than Yanzhou City.
After all, this is not the border of the Northland, so there is no need to face the Hu people, not to mention that the Dachen Imperial Court still has a strategy of reducing armaments and recuperating - of course, the most important reason is because the level of security in Yizhou is far better than that of the Northland border.
And all of this is the credit of those who preded it.
The organization of the hunters was originally born out of the scout team set up by Dachen Taizu when he conquered the world, and these shrewd scouts were active on the front line of the war, using various means to catch a lot of enemies alive, and pry out one important information after another from their mouths - and after the world arrived and Chengping was fine, this scout team that was originally external was split and separated, and turned to be responsible for the internal, using their ability to search and arrest to maintain law and order in Dachen, and bring those sinners who violated the law to justice.
"So, what the hell is going on?"
In the southwest corner of Yizhou City, in the garrison of the raiders, Jiang Wenyuan, the commander of the raider brigade in charge of the Yizhou side, looked at the report in his hand and frowned.
According to what is written on the document, the grassland people have crossed the Taiyin Mountain, and united with the Zhang clan of the Taiyin Mountain Temple to break through Yiyang County, the whole county is in chaos, and the county commander Hao Chong also led people to kill the thief Zhang Qi, and finally died in battle - everything sounds like there is no problem, it is a normal front-line battle report, just like the battle report of Yanzhou a few days ago.
But in Jiang Wenyuan's eyes, the problem of this battle report is too big.
Qi Jinshan, the commander of Yanzhou's troops before, died on the battlefield, and this is no problem. Although Jiang Wenyuan has never met Qi Jinshan, he has also heard of this person, this person is obsessed with his career, his heart is as hard as iron, and in order to fight for promotion, it is indeed possible to do that thing that will not retreat.
But this Hao Chong ...... He's seen this Hao Chong before.
As the commander of Yiyang County, Hao Chong occasionally comes to Yizhou City to report on his work, so Jiang Wenyuan and this Hao Chong have also had several relationships - but in Jiang Wenyuan's eyes, this Hao Chong is a man of great ambition and talent, greedy for money and lustful, especially lustful, every time he comes to Yizhou, he will definitely go to look for flowers and willows, and even call it a secret search.
It's just such a thing, it's okay to run away while it's messy, but it's a battle to die...... When did this Hao Chong become so courageous?
The people ran away, but this Hao Chong didn't run, this thing can actually live and die with Yiyang?
"There's a problem, it's a big problem."
Jiang Wenyuan frowned.
However, there is no new information coming at the moment, and it is extremely dangerous to rush to Yiyang County to investigate—and more importantly, this matter is actually not within his scope of responsibility.
Although it is true that the raiders were born out of the scouts in the army, after so many years, the raiders have long been separated and separated, and are only responsible for law and order. This kind of military content is under the jurisdiction of the military commander.
But when I thought of Yizhou, the commander of the army...... Jiang Wenyuan really began to worry.
The commanders of Yizhou are all surnamed Qian, and their single name is a Jin character. And this Qian Jin and Qian Du Governor took office by taking office, but it is already an open secret in Yizhou - of course, if it is just like this, then it is fine, after all, Shannan Province is not the border of the North, and it is useless to really install a commander with superior military force to supervise it.
But now...... What is the use of a governor who takes office in a relationship, a governor who is sparse in martial arts and not good at military affairs?
"Maybe it's still a little useful."
Thinking like this, Jiang Wenyuan got up and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
That was indeed somewhat useful, although he couldn't expect this Qian Governor to lead his troops to fight, but he could at least ask this well-connected Governor when the imperial army's army would arrive.
You must know that although this war started very quickly, it has also been fought for a while, and now Jizhou and Yanzhou have been attacked by the grassland people one after another, and the entire Shanbei Province is about to be broken. Can't they just be faster?
"It's not fast, above the court, the matter is big, and the so-called pull a hair moves the whole body. What's more, this transfer of troops and horses is a major military matter, and the princes of the DPRK and China have their own considerations, so you just wait. ”
When Jiang Wenyuan, who came to the Governor's Mansion, talked about his question, this Qian Jin and Qian Governor answered him like this.
"So, do you have anything else to do this time?"
"I ......"
Looking at the Qian Dudu Governor lying on the couch in front of him, with his chest open, Jiang Wenyuan didn't know whether to continue for a while.
Generally speaking, it is the least polite thing to dress properly for business like this - but at the moment, Qian Dudu looks like this, I am afraid that it is not that he does not want to put on clothes, but that he cannot wear clothes.
As for the reason...... But it's because this Qian Du Governor should be scattered.
Like those romantic gentlemen in the Jiankang capital, this Qian Jin Qian Du Du is also a person who likes to talk about mysteries, but what this Qian Du Du is talking about is not the mystical theory, nor the popular mystical techniques, but those golden stone medicine powder, metaphysical recipes.
According to some metaphysicians, since the golden and stone objects can be contaminated with the evil spirit of the sword and have incredible power after being cast into a blade, then it may be possible to directly skip the step of creating a blade, directly grind the gold and stone into powder, and swallow it in the stomach, which may make the human body become indestructible like the divine weapon - of course, the first batch of people who did this are basically dead, and they have proved with their lives that not everything can be eaten in the stomach.
However, there are also a small number of people who find another way, although because of the selection and ratio of materials, they did not reproduce the original recipe, but it is this wrong formula that makes them enter a mysterious and mysterious situation after taking it.
Therefore, in order to pursue the wonderful realm of the mysterious and mysterious, this golden stone medicine powder became popular among a group of elegant people.
But Jiang Wenyuan didn't think this thing was a good thing, after all, this thing would not only make people confused, confused, and even make people feel hot and steaming - just like now, if he dared to find someone to help him get this Qian Dudu dressed properly, the other party was afraid that he would die violently tomorrow.
Therefore, now that the money governor has been dispersed, is there still a need to talk about this official matter?
"Governor, this is the battle report of Yiyang County."
Jiang Wenyuan gritted his teeth, but still handed over the documents in his arms.
Regardless of whether this money is supervised or not, this war is not waiting for anyone, as the commander of Yizhou, Qian Jin must know this first-hand information.
And after receiving this battle report and knowing that the grassland people had entered the territory of Yizhou, this Qian Jin and Qian Du Du jumped up from the couch as Jiang Wenyuan expected.
"Yo! How so! How so! ”
At this moment, this Qian Dudu did not have the slow and leisurely roundabout between his words, and there was only anxiety left between the words.
"How so! Why did he die? ”
"I don't know."
Hearing that Qian Dudu seemed to have returned to normal, Jiang Wenyuan continued to speak.
"That Yiyang County Commander Hao Chong, the governor also knows it, it is normal to say that he abandoned the city and fled, but it can be said that he died in battle, this is ......"
"Who cares about Hao Chong! Pontus is talking about Zhang Qi! ”
Pinching the piece of paperwork, Qian Dudu's hands were trembling.
"Then Zhang Qi of the Taiyin Mountain Temple, why did he die?"
“…… Yes? ”
Jiang Wenyuan was dumbfounded.
This...... What's going on? Isn't it the death of Hao Chong, the county commander, that needs to be concerned about at the moment? Although it is only a county order, this Hao Chong is also a court official, and he is dead now, shouldn't he find out?
Why does this Qian Dudu care about Zhang Qi, who voted for the grassland people and betrayed Da Chen?
"Nonsense, what is this Hao Chong? is just a county order, and if he leaves Yiyang County, who will know him? ”
Qian Dudu trembled even more.
"But that one Qi ...... Do you know who that Zhang Qi is? ”
Saying this, Qian Dudu arched his hand in the direction of Jiankang Capital.
"That Zhang Qi, but he once talked about mysteries with the Prime Minister!"
“…… Yes? ”
Jiang Wenyuan was speechless.
In any case, he couldn't have imagined that Zhang Qi's origin would be even bigger than Hao Chong, who was an official of the imperial court-you must know that the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, and a big man above ten thousand people under one person, so how can such a high-ranking existence talk about mysteries with ordinary people?
Obviously, although the specific reason is not clear, that Zhang Qi was silently hit by the prime minister.
"Nonsense, I don't want to think about it, if Zhang Qi is really an ordinary person, how could he occupy that Taiyin Mountain for him?"
patted the door of his head, but the Qian Dudu sat back on the couch and shook the paperwork in his hand.
"No, this war report is absolutely wrong, that Zhang Qi is the prime minister's person, and he is walking the road to heaven, how can he surrender his identity and secretly vote for some grassland people? Fake! This battle report is absolutely fake! There must be something hidden in it! ”
"Uh......"
Jiang Wenyuan didn't know how to respond.
He also knew that there was a problem with this battle report, but he never thought that the problem was actually here—but if he thought about it this way, it was the opposite.
Hao Chong's waste will not die in a fight, and Zhang Qi will not take refuge in the grassland people, this war report has been very problematic from the beginning, maybe the grassland people are also very watery.
So what's going on in Yiyang County?
"Check! Use all the human hands you can use! Check it out to the official! ”
After taking a few deep breaths, Qian Dudu finally stopped trembling.
"There must be a result in this matter, otherwise the person who the prime minister has a crush on will die in my Yizhou, how can you let me explain? How do you ask this official to explain to the Prime Minister? Check it out! Just go! ”
"The subordinate officer takes the order."
With a fist hug at Qian Dudu, Jiang Wenyuan got up and left.
said that it was to be investigated, but how to investigate it, it was still a mess - after all, if this war report was true, then Yiyang County had already been beaten down by the grassland people. According to the people who fled from Yiyang County, they did see the grassland soldiers running horses on the streets.
It is a soldier and not a scout, which means that it is the regular army of the grassland people, at least the news recorded in the document that the grassland people broke Yiyang County should be true.
So what about the remaining two?
Whether it is Zhang Qi or Hao Chong, the cause of death of the two of them is now impossible to verify, after all, the predators have long been in charge of public security, and it is impossible for them to go deep into the enemy line to collect intelligence like the old-timers in the past.
But the news from Yiyang County ......
"Lvshuai Jiang, I have something to do with you next."
Just when Jiang Wenyuan returned to the station to meditate and think about what to do, the master of the Governor's Mansion came to the door.
Obviously, the Qian Du Governor should have reached a critical time and began to mysterious, so he handed over the affairs to the master book to deal with - but the power of this master book is limited, and if there is something serious, he still has to come over and discuss a few words with the relevant personnel.
For example, a new group of homeless people has arrived outside the city.
"Isn't it just a bunch of homeless people? What's the big deal about that? ”
Jiang Wenyuan disagreed.
Now after all, there is a fight in the north, and naturally some people will flee south, although these groups of homeless people are rare, but they are not uncommon - just to settle some homeless, why bother to work for him, the commander of the raider brigade, to come forward in this kind of thing?
But soon, Jiang Wenyuan knew that this was indeed not a trivial matter.
"Why are there so many?"
Above the city, looking at the large area of homeless camps outside the city, Jiang Wenyuan was dumbfounded.
Just look at this huge number...... I'm afraid the number of displaced people here is not tens of thousands!
"This is the people from Yiyang County who have come here?"
"Some are from Yiyang, but more are from Yanzhou."
On Jiang Wenyuan's side, the head of the Governor's Mansion lowered his voice.
"They all fled all the way, and the leader is the ordnance chief over there in Jibei, called Du Chengfeng."
Du Chengfeng...... Haven't heard of it. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Wenyuan frowned.
"Wait, how can there be steppe people among these refugees?"
"Say it's a prisoner of war."
The Governor's Mansion continued to explain.
"The ordnance chief named Du Chengfeng captured these grassland people alive when he was in Yanzhou, and escorted them all the way...... This is also why bother Jiang Lvshuai. ”
"Hmmm......"
Jiang Wenyuan's brows furrowed more and more.
That's right, the steppe people entered the city, it was a big deal, and naturally they needed to ask him, the commander of the raider brigade in charge of law and order—but herein was the problem. Just look at the free appearance of those steppe people catching each other and wrestling in the camp below, where did the escort come from?
"Wait, which direction are they coming from?"
"Yiyang County, what's wrong?"
The master of the Governor's Mansion was a little puzzled.
"There's a fight over there, so they fled all the way...... What, what's the problem? ”
"Yes...... That's a big problem. ”
Jiang Wenyuan's gaze was locked on those grassland people.
He felt that he might have seen the truth.
The first shift was delivered, and I came a little late, and I was a little dim in adjusting my work and breath, and I was sleepy in the daytime. Considering the state problem, the second should be before ten o'clock.
Ling: Thank you for your recommendation and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.
Thanks to Batraja for the tip, it's really a waste of money.
I'm going to get a bite to eat and then continue with the codeword.
