Ten miles west of Jizhou City, the Xuetang Camp finally met the officials from Jizhou who came to greet them.

A civilian official in a green official robe, escorted by more than 100 county soldiers, waited by the roadside, and saw a mighty horse team composed of 500 black crows and more than 1,000 horses, and got up to meet him from a distance.

The attendant beside the green-robed official said in a loud voice: "Liu County of Yuyang County, Jizhou is guarding here, which adult is Captain Liu from Shuo Fang?"

Liu Tugou smiled when he heard this: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be our own family, our small camp, and we actually worked in a county to be too guarded and welcomed, which is really a big face." ”

"Where can he be called Taishou, although Yuyang County is the capital of Jizhou, it is a small county, and this person is a five-grade official if he dies. "It was Dong Dilang who spoke, as the son of the school captain, and he was naturally extremely familiar with the official system of the Great Zhou.

He looked at Liu Junshou who came over, and said with a sneer: "It's true that the adult is a miscellaneous name, but nominally he is a titled captain who came to the aid of Shuo Fang, and he is roughly the enemy of this Liu Junshou." However, the Son of Heaven's pro-army is extraordinary, seeing that the local officials have always been half a level older, how to deal with it depends only on whether the adults are willing to give him face. ”

There is a great difference between the forbidden and border officer system and the local official system, and in addition to the nominal ranks, they do not exactly correspond in terms of rank. When officials of the two systems meet, in addition to the grade of their own positions, they also have to take into account many factors such as power and responsibility, background, seniority, and rank.

Although the titled captain Yunyun was Dong Dilang who put gold on Liu Tugou's face, but behind the second master stood Chang Zhaoqing, a real titled general, and Jizhou only sent a county guard to greet him, although it was so-so, it was obvious that he didn't pay much attention to it.

Hearing him say this, Yang Xiongji also reacted, and said angrily with a loud voice: "Why didn't the Yamen of the Jizhou Prefecture and the Yamen of the General Soldier send people here? Even if you invite the two big Buddhas of the State Pastor and the General Soldier, for the sake of the old man's face, there must always be a weighty state official, so what's the matter with only letting the county guards below come forward?"

Liu Junshou, who came closer, showed an embarrassed face, obviously hearing Yang Xiongji's complaints, he didn't dare to attack because of this, after all, people are not only the guest troops who came to help the war, but also the elite of the border army.

His eyes were very poisonous, and he glanced at the ranking of these black crows, and then bowed to Liu Tugou, who was like a star-studded moon, and said, "This official is Liu Wenyin, the guard of Yuyang County, Jizhou, and I have seen Captain Liu. ”

Liu Tugou grinned, dismounted and saluted: "Liu Tugou, the captain of Shuofang Black Crow Guard, has seen Liu Junshou. ”

Seeing that the captain from Shuo Fang was so humble, Liu Wenyan was obviously relieved, and said apologetically: "Don't blame Captain Liu, today happens to be the day when Lord Tang, the minister of the Qin Mission and the new head of the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, arrives. ”

Liu Tugou's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Oh, the reaction of the imperial court is extremely fast, what is the situation in Jizhou now, and I ask Liu Junshou to share it with the brothers." ”

"Well, who's to say it's not. First of all, the state capital was attacked by the Di people, and then it was defeated and lost in Dai County, the Jizhou County Army collapsed, and Sun Zongbing's reputation was ruined, and he had returned to his hometown to wait for the crime, and it was only a matter of time before he was replaced, but he didn't expect the imperial court to be so impatient. ”

Liu Wenyan sighed, and then said: "Tao Mushou also went to the fold of asking for sin, except for appeasing and helping the people of Jizhou, the rest of the time he was closed, and he also looked like waiting for death for sin, the two major yamen in the state capital were panicked, and they naturally ran to befriend Tang Qin at this moment, how could anyone take care of it." ”

This Yuyang County guard is still excusing his colleagues in the state, which shows that he is a kind person.

Liu Tugou asked, "When will Tang Qincha arrive?"

Liu Jun guarded his heart and replied: "Lord Tang was originally the long history of the Zhending Palace, jointly recommended by the military aircraft Cao Gong and the ruling Ao Gong, and immediately went north from the Beiding Mansion after hearing the decree, the old prince of Zhending specially sent a thousand Hengshan Iron Cavalry to escort him, with many attachés, and it is estimated that the itinerary will have to arrive at the south gate at noon today, and it is still early at the moment, so he should be able to catch up." ”

Liu Wenyan's words fell, and his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes full of doubt and surprise.

Not for anything else, just because the extremely young lieutenant in front of him suddenly raised his hand slightly, and then the hundreds of soldiers standing silently behind him seemed to come to life, exuding a palpitating aura.

Although this Captain Liu was not very vicious, but somehow, Liu Junshou couldn't help but put all his attention on this person, and it wasn't until the other party raised his hand that he suddenly noticed these soldiers in black robes and black cloaks.

Almost all of these soldiers had a red vertical mark on their foreheads, which looked extremely evil.

What is particularly strange is that this Captain Liu is accompanied by a boy in Taoist clothes who is only a few years old, although there is no knife mark at the center of his eyebrows, but the white bone hairpin on his head is not mentioned, and there is a human skull hanging on his waist, which makes Liu Junshou's scalp tight.

After being looked at by Liu Wenyan twice, the indifferent boy turned his head, as if he had just noticed Liu Wenyan, and a pair of big black eyes looked the Yuyang County Guard up and down, and suddenly asked: "Hey, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Liu Wen was stunned for a moment, and replied in a ghostly manner: "As an official in the north, I ride horses in and out, and my equestrian skills are passable." ”

Liu Tugou smiled slightly, turned over and rode on Ah Wei's empty back.

Speaking of which, since that snowy night, all restraints such as saddle bridles and bridles on the white horse have been removed.

However, the second master only made a few small movements that were not easy to detect, and Ah Wei willingly turned over and slowly paced around the queue of the Blood Tang Camp.

Liu Tugou's gaze swept over the body of the five hundred black crows, and finally fixed on the youngest and thinnest chief, and chuckled: "Xu Dongjiang, I heard that you are very good at training, obviously the corporal under your command is ordinary, but unexpectedly you have built all the foundations?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the leaders of the Xuetang Camp and even the hundred cavalry commanders moved, and the so-called surprise naturally referred to them.

The named young man subconsciously straightened his back and smiled shyly: "The qualifications of the humble position are also very ordinary, and they have some experience, and they are very shallow, and they are afraid of the jokes of their brothers when they say it." ”

Xu Dongjiang said it lightly, but the face of the few riders behind him changed slightly, as if he had palpitations.

In fact, the entire Xuetang battalion knows that if you want to talk about the ruthlessness of military training, it is none other than this Xu Shichang who came from the weak water town in the south of the Yangtze River, if it weren't for the fact that the whole battalion is the only one in the spring grass heart root to save his life, those men under his command would have grown grass long ago, not to mention building a foundation.

Liu Tugou rolled his eyes and sneered: "Which cheeky person dares to laugh at you? Many people in the camp have not touched the door after letting out blood all the way." Look, if it weren't for the soft-heartedness of your brothers, for fear of damaging their own baby bumps, how could they all be white and weak, half-dead? I'm afraid that when I arrived in Jizhou City, many heroes would not have the strength to climb on the embroidery beds of those handsome little girls. ”

A burst of laughter erupted in the queue of five hundred black crows, and he said in his heart that this captain was really understanding.

"Now the Fourth Banner I personally led has not yet appointed a hundred cavalry commanders, because no one has this qualification, Xu Dongjiang, if you can let all the thirty recruits of the Fourth Banner build a foundation, the captain of this school will hand over the Fourth Banner to you. ”

Xu Dongjiang's mouth opened wide, a little incredulous.

The laughter was muffled until it fell silent. In addition to the newly added people and horses of the original first flag, the rest of the people and horses of the fourth flag are born and died with the school captain, and they were transferred by hand ~ to build the foundation.

If the captain can be true to his word, this Xu Shi Chang will really be able to walk sideways in the Xuetang camp in the future, and he didn't see that the number one henchman of the captain Yang Baiqi couldn't sit in this position?

Seeing this, Liu Tugou smiled slightly: "Out of breath! We are the shelves of one guard and two battalions." ”

These words couldn't be clearer, and the morale of the entire Blood Tang Camp instantly changed subtly.

This patchwork battalion is mixed, and it is okay to fight alone, and if you really want to compete with the elite who are forbidden by the order, it is very hanging, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is strong outside and dry in the middle.

Liu Tugou was a cold bystander all the way, and he didn't even enforce the flower conferral that made many people jealous, especially for the three banners of Ren, Zhang, and Dong, as long as they didn't lag behind, they were even more negotiable and delegated power everywhere.

He slammed his smiling face, and instantly overflowed with anger: "Let's go, go with the captain of this school to meet the Hengshan Iron Cavalry of General Tang and Na Laoshizi, who will be soft and messy when the time comes, and fall into the majesty of the Black Crow Guard's Xuetang Battalion, don't blame the second master for breaking his three legs!"
