Chapter 1 Shenwu County

In the autumn of the 12th year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty.

Outside the east gate of Shenwu County, several Yingyang soldiers were standing near the city gate, chatting lazily.

Shenwu County is a small county town in the Sanggan River Basin. It belonged to Zhao during the Warring States Period. It was only established during the Yuanshou period of the Han Dynasty. After almost the abolished county and rebuilt, it became the governing of Mayi County in this dynasty.

Even in Mayi County, which is already considered remote, Shenwu County is not a prominent place. The county is located in Shanyang in the southwest, and Chong is even worse than Yunnei, a famous town in the world, to the north. The only director is probably in Mayi County. Shenwu County is located in the Sanggan River Basin, which is considered to be a relatively wealthy place in the county.

Since the border affairs in the early years of Daye, the city defense of Shenwu County has also been repaired. The color of fresh rammed earth can be seen everywhere on the city wall. After several winters, the rammed earth in the city wall is as solid as iron and stone, whether new or old, it has been as strong as iron and stone.

Outside the city wall, there are all trenches and sheep and horse walls, and there are also small fortresses that cover the city gates. The defense facilities on the city wall are also available.

Although the Yingyang soldiers at the door were chatting and laughing lazily, their military robes were also worn out. The military appearance was far worse than the county soldiers in Yingyang Mansion in the mainland, but they had a strong aura.

The Sui Dynasty inherited the elite soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and had twelve guards. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were all troops of a hundred battles. Emperor Kaihuang relied on these elite soldiers of the twelve guards to suppress the entire world, and the Turks in the north did not dare to go south and bend their bows.

The source of the elite troops of the twelve guards is Yingyang Mansion established by various counties. The soldiers of the government work in daily life, practice or serve various services during the slack farming period, and are summoned as elite troops of the Great Sui Dynasty to fight against unjust officials.

The 127 Yingyang Mansions in the Sui Dynasty were all, and the Mayi Yingyang Mansions and Heng'an Yingyang Mansions belonging to Mayi County are the world-famous elite soldiers in the Yunzhong.

This place is close to the grassland, and for hundreds of years, he has fought with the Hu tribe and killed him. The teenager rode a horse and drove a hard bow. When the countryside heroes competed for water in various villages, they rode horses to hedge him.

The Yingyang soldiers of the two prefectures were the emperor of Yanmen County in the fifth year of Daye. Later, they joined several bloody battles in the expedition of Goryeo. In recent years, the Turks were powerful, and the Yingyang soldiers of Mayi took up the battles many times under the leadership of the prefect of Mayi Wang Rengong, and had many military achievements.

Compared with the dilapidated military palace in the mainland, the Mayi Yingyang soldiers still retain some of the old appearances of the elite soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty.

The few Eagle Yang soldiers were talking about something, and they were talking, pointing their fingers and making laughter from time to time, which caused the patrolmen on the city wall to poke their heads and minds.

Amid the lively sound, the sound of hooves was heard, and several patrolmen looked into the city gate. They jumped away in a hurry: "That aristocratic family is here!"

With the sound of hooves, smoke and dust at the city gate were chaotic. Teams of horse soldiers drove out, with a size of one or two hundred people.

These knights all had distinct red military robes, one man and two horses, and there were armor bags behind the saddle, looking like elite. When passing by the city gate, they didn't even look at the old military robe soldiers, and their chins were almost raised to the sky.

In the team, a general in his thirties was guarding, wearing a big sleeved jacket and big trousers, but he had a rough head instead of a general who was accustomed to the slut. He was holding a iron ruyi in his hand, and his short beard on his lips was covered with oil. This was the appearance of a medieval family in Jinyang City.

In the smoke and dust, these two hundred riders passed through the city gate and headed east.

The Yingyang Mansion system of the Sui Dynasty was different from the first regiment, and the battalions were divided into Yueqi and slashing sounds. Each battalion had a different command of the second to third brigades. Each brigade had two teams, each with five fires, and each fire was ten people.

These two hundred cavalry are a cavalry battalion under the name of Yue cavalry.

Mayi County has two Yingyang soldiers, namely the left-end Wei Yingyang Mansion and the right-end Wei Heng'an Yingyang Mansion. The Yingyang soldiers worked in peacetime and formed an army during wartime. Mayi County is a frontier and faces the Turks. Even though the Yingyang soldiers are usually retained more than those in the mainland county governments, this battalion is fully equipped, and the Yueqi Yingyang Mansion, which has two horses, is also one of the main forces in the county.

The smoke and dust from the two hundred cavalry rolled up, and the soldiers of the sect straightened their waists, and everyone's faces were dissatisfied.

A door soldier shook his head: "The prefect took out all the teams at the bottom of the box, and he insisted on suppressing Liu Ying's head."

Another soldier shook his head: "How many people have passed in these days? At least half of the Mayi Yingyang soldiers have gone to Yunzhong. Now Liu Yingjiu has to go to Shanyang."

A Ying Yang Bing, who was in his thirties, probably for a long time in the army, heard a lot of inside information, and touched his beard and thoughtful: "Originally, our Mayi County was the king's prefect. What should the emperor send Liu Ying back to attack and divide the power? Wang Taishou is from the Wang family in Langya and has been a clan for hundreds of years. How could he look down on Liu Ying's fighting like this? In this Mayi County, there is only one person who has the final say, so Wang Taishou will naturally take charge of it."

He was worried about the fire at the gate of the city and said angrily: "Now the Turks are pressing to the north of Yunzhong, and they are still making trouble! Then the Turks will be clean when they come in! My mother, you can't live this life!"

Several Yingyang soldiers sighed and agreed in unison.

"What's wrong? After Emperor Kaihuang, the days were getting worse every day. It turned out that the Turks were so scared that the royal court was about to move to Mobei. As a result, Emperor Daye ascended the throne. He first conquered Goryeo several times and killed the sea of ​​blood. Our Mayi Yingyang soldiers followed the expedition, and there were not many people back. After the soldiers were gone, Emperor Daye still had to patrol the border. There was still a reason why the Turks could not come? Last year, Emperor Daye surrounded Emperor Yanmen City, and 41 cities in Yanmen County were opened by the Turks! "

"The Emperor Daye went to Jiangdu by himself. This mess is not something that our hometown is here to clean up!"

"Fortunately, Emperor Daye sent a Jinyang staying behind. The six descendants of the Zhu Kingdom, Li Yuan, Tang Dynasty! This is a capable person, who has the ability to pull our prefect, Mayi soldiers and Hedong soldiers. Last year, the Turks suffered a defeat, and it was only after so many days. It would be better for this Tang Dynasty to stay in Jinyang for a long time!"

"I saw that the Duke of Tang stayed for a while, who told the Emperor of Daye to abandon the country and run to Jiangdu? I heard from our cousin that he finally came back alive when he conquered Goryeo. The second Duke of Goryeo was going to win, but Yang Xuangan was not the reason why Yang Xuangan was defeated. At that time, he could not prevent Yang Xuangan. Now smoke is everywhere and fire is everywhere. I am afraid that more people will be Yang Xuangan. Tang Duke has soldiers and generals, how long can he stay in Taiyuan? I can't say that I can't think about how to enter Chang'an now!"

"The world has been peaceful for only a few years... Not to mention Duke Tang, our prefect Wang has no other intentions? Otherwise, why would we plunder the poor place in Mayi, double the renters! We said that it was Ying Yang's army, so we should be transferred forty-five days a year. Now we have been going on for more than a year, and we have no intention of letting us go home. Now we are trying hard to suppress Liu Ying's attack. What do you think about our prefect Wang?"

These eagle-sport soldiers are always on eagle-sport soldiers, serving all year round, following various officials and people traveling to all kinds of endless servants in the county. The inside story was heard from those officials. The prison gate was boring, and now it was endless.

The Fire Chief had no intention of being restrained. Who can't see the current chaos in the world? We are not aristocratic families, and in the future we will either fight because of the ambitions of those aristocratic families, or face the iron hoofs of the Turks. We don't know tomorrow today, so we can let everyone have a happy mouth now.

The soldiers of the sect were becoming more and more bold. Huo Chang finally spoke weakly and stopped him: "It's almost done. At least there must be a doorkeeper in his mouth. Now the county is not peaceful. Don't bring disaster to yourself. If you have the energy to eat and drink, you can also find a little girl in your private door. Happy day is a day!"

Then he was surprised: "Why haven't you seen Mr. Le from the county for a long time?"

The soldiers laughed: "Chang Huo, you are just thinking of Le Langjun's generous! Every time you enter the county town, pay taxes, or watch your own store business, you must always invite our brothers to eat and drink."

Huo Chang said with annoyance: "You just don't want to? When many brothers are in danger, they will always be able to finish the matter. I haven't seen Mr. Le for a long time. I just want to worry about eating and drinking after reading a few words?"

The oldest soldier smiled and answered his questions for the fire chief: "The prefect Wang has an order, and the rent-in-law has doubled. Grandpa Le Langjun is the leader of a neighbor, and the tax is all on him. For three or four years, the rent-in-law has doubled, and the gold production in the fields is not enough, so he can only rely on Hui Yi. Now, the horses of all ethnic groups in the north of Yunzhong are also fat, and Le Langjun should have gone back to Yi."

Huo Chang was puzzled: "Mr. Le Langjun is just a single seedling. Can Mr. Xu let him go back to Yi?"

The old soldier's expression became a little deeper: "Hong Xu suffered a stroke."

Huo Chang stamped his foot: "I was ordered to leave Shanyang to pass the documents, but I didn't know that there was such a thing! I should come to the door and take a look!"

Then he sighed: "I advised Taigong to let Le Langjun accept Ying Yangbing's service, and the rent and mediocre people were reduced, and even less money was paid for the transfer. Taigong was unwilling to do so. It was a pity that Le Langjun had good skills polished by Taigong! The literary and martial arts came too. Otherwise, I would like to serve in any aristocratic family. With Le Langjun's talents, who would not value Le Langjun's talents?"

All the soldiers shook their heads and sighed.

As everyone said, Xu Taigong came to Shenwu County, Mayi County to settle down more than ten years ago. It is said that he retreated from the army and brought several followers with him. He was holding a child in his infant. He was the posthumous son of his son, whose name was Xu Le.

The old man led a few families to open up wasteland in the Sanggan River Valley. Mayi County was never a peaceful place. The old man beat several horses and bandits away with one bow and one horse. It is said that even a few scattered Turkic wolf cavalry had killed. The settlements opened by the old man became hard land, and the refugees gradually depended on them, and finally formed the village of Xujialu, which opened a cattle and collected grain, and became a household registration of Shenwu County.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. The child in the cradle grew up and was raised by the old man. However, he was so restrained by the old man that he could not join the army and was not allowed to go to dangerous places. However, young people with abilities can never stand loneliness. Xu Le made friends with young men with a young man with a generous temperament, generous and strong personality—all of which are good qualities that the heroes in the border areas valued by Yunzhong. He gained the title of Lelangjun inside and outside Shenwu County.

More than ten years ago, when Xu Taigong came to Shenwu County to settle down, it was rumored that there were people above to take care of him. It was rumored that the county magistrate had visited Xu Taigong. Now more than ten years have passed, the emperor has changed, and the times have changed. It turns out that Xu Taigong's origin has long been unknown. He is just a village elder in the village. Le Langjun has never joined the army and has never been in office. After Xu Taigong's old age, he naturally cannot support his door. The taxes are increasing day by day, and even a single piece of paper is indispensable.

Over the years, Xu Taigong relied on Huiyi to support his family's plan, but for several years, he had a lot of trouble, and Huiyi was unable to do it. His family's foundation was consumed day by day, and because of his age, he suddenly fell down. This family's plan was probably up to Lelangjun to follow.

When the border areas are in power, it is a very risky road when the Turkic people are in great danger. How can Lelangjun, who has always been protected by Taigong and cannot leave Shenwu County? If it is a pity, Lelangjun, a outstanding talent!

The Huo Chang was stunned for a while and finally stomped his feet hard: "This god, God, I don't give anyone a way out. It's been a few years since I was peaceful? Why is the world so in such chaos again!"

The soldiers of the sect looked at each other and said that they were all gossipy, but they could not answer such profound questions.
