Chapter 86: Departure
Ye Lujun?
Xiao Ding suddenly turned his head.
Ye Lujun?
Xu Hong jumped up from his seat.
"Is this a very extravagant person?" Looking at the two people's reactions, Luo Gang was a little confused.
Xu Hong swallowed his saliva, looked at Xiao Ding, and said: "Of course he is an extravagant person. This person is a real descendant of the Liao royal family. He was named the King of Qishui County. Just three months ago, he was
Appointed governor of Nanjing Road in the Liao Kingdom."
"I didn't expect that the small Tianmen Village could have such a big shot come over to see what was going on. Xiao is so lucky!" Xiao Ding said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't meet him in person."
"They must not have gone far at this time. Brother, if you send a cavalry, they will be able to intercept them and catch this big fish. That will be a great contribution to the world!" Luo Gang said excitedly.
Xiao Ding, Xu Hong, and Xiao Cheng all laughed.
"What's wrong? If you hesitate any longer, you'll run away?" Luo Gang said.
"If someone dares to come, he is naturally confident." Xiao Ding said with a smile: "How to catch him? Even if such a person really met me, I would have to respectfully invite him into the village for a cup of tea, and then
If we send him away respectfully, what can we do to him? If he really loses a hair in our place, it will immediately turn into a war between the two countries. Yuting, this is not above the border.
It's just a small fight, but a real war, which will at least use the entire force on Hebei Road and Nanjing Road. Do you think I can shoulder this responsibility?"
"Fortunately, this person just left like this. If he really asked to see Commander Xiao, it would be troublesome!" Xu Hong also shook his head: "The yellow mud fell in the crotch of his pants, and it is either shit or shit. Yuting, you
It is considered a meritorious service. There are rumors outside that this heroic hero Yelu Jun is willful, and it seems that this is true. He really behaves very casually."
"Of course he can be casual, but I can't be casual." Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Well, now that he's gone, we can just pretend that it didn't happen, and we'll just continue to do our things well.
.”
The entire Guangrui army's plan to move to the town has been completely laid out on paper. Xu Hong was amazed by the thick copywriting. This was the first time he had seen such a detailed plan for an army's departure.
After obtaining Xiao Ding's consent, he called his companions and copied the plans one by one.
He was going to take these plans back to Xia Jie for a look.
Now that Xia Jie's heart has become lively again and he wants to start a career again, Xu Hong believes that the Xiao brothers' method of doing things will definitely be helpful to Xia Jie.
The town relocation plan presided over by Xiao Cheng, putting aside the preliminary preparation work and only considering the resettlement issues from the journey to the arrival, was divided into three major parts.
In the first step, Xiao Cheng will lead five hundred soldiers and five hundred young men or strong women to set off in the first batch. This group of people will go straight to Dingbian City to prepare for a series of events after the large army arrives in Dingbian City.
In the second step, Wang Jun is responsible for selecting elite officers from the army to lead some soldiers to set off in advance. According to the speed of the large army marching fifty miles a day, they will set up camps in advance and make all logistical preparations. This part of the team is divided into three teams, that is,
It is said that at the same time, three camps fifty miles apart will be built to ensure that the marching team can receive the best care.
In the third section, Xiao Ding led a large army and the old and weak then walked slowly.
It sounds simple to say, but it is quite difficult to implement it in actual actions. Many of the eating, drinking and various emergencies of more than 10,000 people during the long journey are unpredictable. So Xiao Cheng based on his
After learning about the situation, dozens of plans were made to deal with various emergencies, and all officers were required to be familiar with them. So that if such a thing really happens, everyone can stay calm and calm.
Deal with things well and minimize losses.
The place where the eldest brother is going is not a place of singing and dancing. On the contrary, it is a paradise for bandits and the lair of gangsters. Xiao Cheng must do his best to ensure the combat effectiveness of his eldest brother's army. If he can do it, he can fight when he comes.
Then you can win.
The three axes at the beginning are extremely important. If the first three fires cannot be ignited, the following days will definitely be very difficult, and everyone may want to step on you.
But as long as the first show of force is effective, Xiao Ding's name will take root in Dingbian City. With the elder brother's ability, the next things will be much easier.
The most critical thing is the first two months.
When Guang Rui's army arrived at Dingbian City, it was the middle of winter, which was really not a good day.
But the official edict has been issued, who dares to delay it?
Tomorrow, Xiao Cheng will set off with the vanguard. Luo Gang will naturally be taken with him. Along the way, the son of the Duke of Dongfu will also be needed as a pawn to visit the government offices and deal with the officialdom.
What a story! At this time, if someone lends a little hand to help, it will save you countless troubles.
But if you want to do this, you will definitely not be able to do it without connections.
"Chongwen, am I really that useless?" Luo Gang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Xiao Cheng distressedly, and said: "Now even the people of Liao know that the third wife of the Xiao family is a tiger girl, and
I'm a dog."
"Who said you are a dog!" Xiao Cheng hugged Luo Gang's shoulders and said with a smile: "Yuting, you are a little tiger that has not yet left the den, and you are constantly absorbing nutrients and strengthening yourself!
Have you ever seen a tiger cub? Before it grows up, it is like a kitten, and is often picked up as snacks by wild dogs, jackals and the like. But when it really grows up, it can
He is the king of beasts, and the tiger roars in the mountains and forests, who dares not to obey?"
"Don't coax me!" Luo Gang said dullly.
"What am I coaxing you to do?" Xiao Cheng said: "Of course, whether this little tiger can grow up to become a real king of beasts depends on his efforts in the process. If he is hiding every day
If you sigh in the nest and don't think about making progress, you will probably become a sick cat. But in the face of setbacks, moving forward bravely, failing again and again but getting up again and again, this is the real growth of the king of beasts.
Where is the Tao! Which one do you want to do?"
Luo Gang gritted his teeth and said: "Which one do you think I will choose? Of course it is the second one. One day, I will knock that damn Yelujun to the ground and ask him who is the dog son!"
"This is the style Luo Yuting should have!" Xiao Cheng laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Stop drinking, go to bed early today, we will set off tomorrow, this journey will be real
It’s hard work, you have to be mentally prepared!”
"Is it harder than these days?"
"These days I have been suffering mentally, busy with writing documents. Next, I will suffer physically. I have to walk hundreds of miles a day or even more. Can you, Luo Yuting, bear it?" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.
"The king of beasts should be able to endure all kinds of hardships!" Luo Gang said angrily. "I am not even afraid of death now, so why should I be afraid of the hardships of the journey? It is a lifelong shame to be so humiliated by that Liao barbarian!"
"That's great!" Xiao Cheng said, "Let's set off at five o'clock tomorrow."
On the second day, before dawn, Xiao Cheng set out with his subordinates and a thousand young men allotted by Tianmen Village. In addition to one horse for each person, he also brought more than a hundred more horses in case of accidents.
The horses were damaged during the journey, and apart from the weapons and dry food, he did not bring any other luggage. Only Xiao Cheng carried a note of 100,000 yuan from Deli Bank, which he planned to exchange after arriving at Jingzhao Mansion.
Of course, when we arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, we had to go and see the newly appointed Shaanxi Road pacifier Ma Xing as soon as possible.
Since this was the pacifier who asked Xiao Ding to go there, he had to show something.
Regardless of whether it's money, materials or whatever, Ma Xing has to come up with something to accommodate this team of tens of thousands of people.
Otherwise, how can he win over the hearts and minds of this army?
You can't just get alienated from you right after you arrive, right?
Xiao Cheng is still very confident about this.
The big shots on Shaanxi Road should be easy to deal with and difficult to deal with. I am afraid they are the middle-level officials and the low-level brats below. These people have no overall perspective. Once their interests are touched, they will definitely do harm to them.
And Xiao Ding's move to settle the border town this time will of course harm the interests of many people.
Especially the interests of the border troops.
In the past, Dingbian Army was the only one in Dingbian City. Now, with a bang, a commander fell on his head. He wanted to merge the Dingbian Army and command. Who wants to have a mother-in-law on top of him!
And would places like Fuzhou and Linzhou near Dingbian Town really welcome a powerful figure like Xiao Ding to land in Dingbian Town?
Trouble abounds!
Just as Xiao Cheng said, this elite team galloped all the way, really advancing at a speed of hundreds of miles a day. Among this team, not to mention the soldiers, even the young and strong women were good at riding horses.
, it really made Luo Gang suffer a lot.
This time from Bianliang to Tianmenzhai, although we also rode horses, we walked on official roads along the way, and when we were tired, there were carriages where we could rest. Luo Gang really did not experience the hardship of riding a horse.
This time, there was no luck.
On the first day, the insides of both hips were already dripping with blood.
Xiao Cheng used strong alcohol to disinfect him, and while applying the medicine, Luo Gang's screams shook the camp.
However, he was indeed stubborn. When we set off on the second day, he climbed onto the horse by himself, even though he was holding the horse's neck, his face was pale. This made the young soldiers who were traveling with him look at him a little more.
A look of admiration.
There are many scholars, but there are really not many tough scholars. There are even fewer tough scholars who can endure hardships and be kind to them.
