Chapter 0012 - Angry Crown
The Xin'an Army, with a small area under its jurisdiction, is a strategic place to defend against the Liao State, with the west and south being the boundaries of Bazhou Mansion, and Cangzhou Mansion to the east!
There is a dangerous pass in the northernmost part of this Xin'an army, called Sikou Pass, and the Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass in the territory of Bazhou in the west are called the three passes, which were built at the end of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, it is an important pass to resist the Khitan, and it has been extended to this day, when Yang Yanzhao also led the Yang family generals to guard this place, and the Yang Men female generals who spread widely also fought bravely here.

She Taijun of the Yang Sect is actually the Taijun of Zhe, the Zhe family, and the maiden family is the Zhe family army that is still being inherited, but he is married to the golden knife Yang Ye, and he also fought here when he was young.
At the border of the north of this silt pass, there is a river, which flows into the Bohai Bay from west to east, which is the border between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, commonly known as the boundary river.
It was late November, and the snow was falling heavily in the north, and the ground was full of snow, and the snow was up to the ankles!
Zhao Bufan took heavy steps, used the iron rod as a crutch, and slowly walked towards the majestic Xiongguan in the distance, and the fat Lu Zhishen also carried the crescent shovel, slowly following on the left side. On the right is Lin Chong, he is wearing a Fan Yang hat, an iron spear is on his shoulder, and a wine gourd is hanging on the spearhead, his face is calm.
When they reached the pass, the three of them were stopped and interrogated by the soldiers on duty, and they were very severe.
After Zhao Bufan explained his intentions, the attitude of those soldiers changed greatly, and the three of them were introduced into the Guannei, went to the soldiers' station, and entered the logistics department.
Responsible for the registration of the name of the two ten generals, this is just a small military official position, I don't think about the shelf but not small, almost don't look at people, the sharp beak monkey cheeks of the ten generals learned of the situation, dragged out a long voice said: "This conscription is not limited to birth, it doesn't matter if you don't have a certificate of civil registration from the local government, but now do you want to join the regular army, or partial army?"
"The main army?" Lin Chong looked strange, and hurriedly asked: "I only know the forbidden army, the box army, the native soldiers, the township soldiers and the Tibetan soldiers, I don't know what to do with the regular army and the partial army?"
"Isn't it shameful to wait for this humble appearance and fantasize about the forbidden army?" The two ten generals laughed, completely ignoring the feelings of Zhao Bufan and the others.
The three of them were instantly annoyed, and Lin Chong said in a low voice: "But ask casually, why did you insult me?"
The fat-headed, big-eared ten generals pursed their eyes and replied, "What can I do to insult you? In this place, no matter who you are, even if it is a dragon, you have to coil it for me!"
"You ......"
Lu Zhishen was so angry that he was about to go crazy on the spot, Zhao Bufan hurriedly pulled him and shouted: "Brother, don't forget our agreement!"
When Lin Chong next to him heard this, he also calmed down, not knowing the two ten generals in general.
The ten generals with sharp beaks and cheeks looked at them, and said in a strange manner: "Don't be a hero here, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat, seeing that you are new, I will spare you this time, remember to be more delicate in the future, and your eyes will be brighter!"
Zhao Bufan didn't want to cause trouble, so he held back the anger in his heart, and stepped forward indifferently: "I don't know the rules in the army, but I don't know what is the difference between this regular army and the partial army?"
The ten generals with sharp beaks stretched out their hands, rubbed their thumbs and index fingers against each other, and said impatiently: "This is the establishment of the Xiang army, the regular army and the partial army are just our internal statements, the partial army is the hardest errand, and the regular army is better, just to make this ......"
Zhao Bufan looked at his gesture and said in amazement: "Want silver?"
When the fat-headed and big-eared ten generals saw him on the road, their faces looked much better, and they squeezed out some smiles: "You don't need silver, you can use coins, if you have gold, it's better, and the jewelry and jade can also be mortgaged, so that the more you have, the better the errands, this Northern Xinjiang soldier has many fierce soldiers, and if you have a good errand, you can live well!"
Lu Zhishen exploded his lungs on the spot, if he hadn't remembered Zhao Bufan's advice in his heart, I was afraid that he would have to beat the two of them to the ground.
Zhao Bufan took a long breath and thought a little, but directly took off the burden, took out the ten taels of gold that had never been touched, and threw it generously on the table in front of him. "I don't have copper coins, these ten taels of gold are all my entanglement, I don't know what kind of errand I can find for the three of me?"
Looking at the golden gold in front of them, the eyes of the two ten generals straightened, looked at each other for a moment, and instantly smiled, and their attitudes were much better.
The ten generals with sharp-beaked monkey gills seemed to have more power to speak, and immediately pointed to the stool next to him, and said enthusiastically: "Three brothers sit down and say, sit down and say !!"
"No need, I just hope that Your Excellency can help us arrange to join the army as soon as possible!" Zhao Bufan said coldly.
But even so, the ten generals with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks still greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and replied enthusiastically: "This is easy to do, I will enter you into the Ping'an Village, which is close to the rear, and is a place to hoard money and grain, not only safe, but also a great chance to see above, if you are favored, you will have a chance to be promoted." ā
Zhao Bufan didn't want to dwell on it here, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
It didn't take long for the ten generals with sharp beaks and cheeks to finish the paperwork and hand it to Zhao Bufan with a smile. "Brother can take out so much gold, I think I have a good background, how can I come to this northern Xinjiang to be a soldier? Now you take this document to the new barracks, rest for the time being, and after two or three days, the recruits from Ping'an Village will go with you." My name is Yingsan, and the brother next to me is called Niu Daman, everyone will move around more in the future, don't blame my brother for making things difficult today, this is all an order from above, I just do what I am told!"
When they got out of the room, Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong were very depressed, and they didn't say a word, Zhao Bufan knew that they were uncomfortable, so he didn't say much, and the three of them went to the new barracks.
After some twists and turns, they settled down and lived in the same tent.
In the evening, a few undertakers came over and took them to tattoo characters.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty had to tattoo words on their faces to prevent escape, but earlier Zhao Bufan's gold obviously worked, they could be tattooed on the back of their hands, not on their faces, although this thing could be washed away, but they had to become generals before they could qualify, otherwise it would be a capital crime.
Lin Chong was assigned to the army earlier, and there was already a tattoo on his face, so it was only modified by the craftsman, but it was not affected.
This tattoo used to have to be tattooed on the face, until Fan Zhongyan was in power, and saw that the soldiers with tattoos on their faces were discriminated against by the people, so they proposed to tattoo on their hands, which was supported by the officers and soldiers, but unfortunately later it was changed to tattoo on the face, and the tattoos on the hands were also retained, but they did not think that it would become a financial route for some officers.
Three days later, the recruits assigned to Ping'an Village gathered 50 people, and under the leadership of Li Dutou, they left the Sikou Pass and marched to Ping'an Village, more than 30 miles to the southeast.
These recruits have not been trained, and their weapons and armor are not in order, and they can be called varied, crooked, and really similar to bandits.
There was nothing to do all the way, and I saw that it was only more than ten miles away from Ping'an Village, but I saw the village in the distance in flames.
Li Dutou, who led the team, changed his expression suddenly, and hurriedly ordered: "All on alert, follow me into the village to check!"
For a while, the tense and suffocating atmosphere spread among the recruits, and everyone felt that something big was happening, and Zhao Bufan was also a little nervous, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lin Chong mixed in among the recruits, and asked in a low voice as he ran, "Why is there such a fire in the village?"
Lu Zhishen was silent, he had been in the Seed Army, and he knew more than Lin Chong in some aspects.
Zhao Bufan didn't answer, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
It didn't take long to run, and suddenly there was an amazing scream in front of me, followed by several new recruits who were exploring the path, they ran all the way, howling and crying: "God-damn Khitans, God-damn Khitans, exterminate humanity, exterminate humanity!!!"
Li Dutou motioned for everyone to stop, whispered to the men for a moment, and then rushed to the village in the distance alone.
Zhao Bufan was mixed in the recruit team, and he didn't know the situation of the village in the distance, but when he heard the shout just now, he felt his eyelids jump.
Soon, Li Dutou returned silently, his expression was very ugly, and in the eyes of many recruits, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. In the end, he just gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said, "The Khitans have left, you all go to the village to have a look!"
More than fifty recruits were apprehensive and a little afraid, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
But as they dispersed, approached the village, and saw the scene in the village clearly, the oppressive silence dissipated, and the cries, vomits, and screams were incessant.
Zhao Bufan, Lu Zhishen, and Lin Chong quickly squeezed into the front row.
After seeing the situation in the village, Zhao Bufan ...... Confused......
The whole person was stunned!!
I saw a few strong men who were divided by five horses at the entrance of the village, and their angry eyes could see that they were unyielding before death, and they had obviously resisted bravely!
Directly in front of him was a spear pierced with five babies waiting to be fed, hanging high!
Not far away, there were several good-looking young women, their clothes were long gone, half of their bodies were blurred with flesh and blood, and even if they had been dead for a long time, their empty eyes still looked panicked!
An old man split in half!
Hanging baby!
Women who died of humiliation!
A pregnant woman who was brutally pierced!
Blood stained the snow-white earth!
Sin pervades this pure village!
The whole village is a real hell at the moment, Zhao Bufan doesn't know what hell looks like, but this place is definitely more terrifying than the hell he imagined!!
He was stunned!!
When he woke up, his head exploded with a "buzz", and he was furious and trembling!
Lu Zhishen's eyes next to him were as wide as Tongling, and his muscles exploded, and his clothes were bulging!
Lin Chong's face was pale, his eyes were red, the green tendons on his temples were exposed, and the nails of the hand holding the iron spear were already white!
At this time, Li Dutou walked in front of many recruits, and his tone was indifferent: "This must be done by Yeluhu, a Khitan fierce general known as a butcher, I have already investigated in detail, there should not be many people who came, only thirty or forty people, I don't know how to lurk over, and I don't know the purpose for the time being, but all of them are elites with high martial arts." You recruits, take a good look at this village, take a good look at this scene, this is the northern frontier, this is the border pass, this is the hatred in our hearts!"
"Yeluhu!! if you don't break your straight thief into pieces, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in the heart of the family!" Lu Zhishen muttered in a low voice, his eyes burst with fierce light, and his whole body was filled with fierce energy.
