Chapter Thirteen: Wuwei County

Updated: 2012-09-02

Winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder, and Jia Rong is about to spend the first winter of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After running all the way, Jia Rong and his group finally arrived at the Wuwei County District.

Wuwei County City, like a mountain standing there, standing under Wuwei County City, Jia Rong found that he was too small; the tall city and deep moat were solemn and majestic; in comparison, the city of Hechi County was too broken.

After settling the soldiers, Jia Rong followed Li Bing to meet the prefect. Although he looked down on Li Bing's character, Jia Rong respectfully asked him many of the etiquettes he should have when meeting the prefect, and Li Bing also knew everything about this.

The prosperity of the county town can be compared with the cities in later generations. There are many streets, shops, and the pedestrians at the market are also coming and going.

At this time, a cry attracted him, "The disciple of the great wise and good teacher will use talismans to save people in front of Yu Yuelai Inn this afternoon..."

"Great Master?" Jia Rong suddenly woke up. Isn't the Great Master Zhang Jiao?

Zhang Jiao was originally a scholar who was not yet a scholar. Because he went to the mountain to collect herbs, he met the old immortal of Nanhua and passed on the skills of peace to himself. When he was a wise man, he could call the wind and rain, and was called "Taiping Taoist". Everyone in the world called him a great wise teacher.

The famous Yellow Turban Rebellion afterwards was also led by Zhang Jiao. Unexpectedly, in Wuwei County, he could meet Zhang Jiao's apprentice here to paint talismans and save the world. He wanted to go and take a look, but when he had important things on his shoulders, he did not go; Zhang Jiao, the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" had already appeared in front of the world, and it seemed that the troubled times were really not far away.

Follow Li Bing and come all the way to the prefect's mansion; there are red lacquer and red doors, two stone qilins beside the door, and three big words are written on the plaque: "prefect's mansion", revealing a sense of majesty inside and outside.

After the report from the gatekeeper's soldiers, Jia Rong and Li Bing followed the soldiers into the prefect's mansion; Jia Rong felt like Liu Laolao in Dream of Red Mansions entered the Grand View Garden, and everything was fresh; the layout inside was more gorgeous than the residence of County Magistrate Li, and there was a sense of nobility inside and outside. As a modern person, Jia Rong naturally had never seen such a layout and was stunned for a moment, and even Li Bing was surprised at the prefect's mansion's big move.

Looking at Jia Rong and Li Bing's expression, the soldiers leading the way hummed with contempt: "It's true that they are local soldiers from the countryside, and they have never seen a big scene."

Although he spoke very little, Li Bing and Jia Rong both heard it; Li Bing was immediately angry and walked forward to teach the soldier a lesson.

Jia Rong hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "Sir, if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble with the big plan. Why do you have to be as knowledgeable as a soldier guarding the gate?"

Although Li Bing is not very good, he still understands some of the principles and does not have another attack.

The prefect met Jia Rong and Li Bing in a side house, but Jia Rong didn't know what it was.

The prefect is a 50-year-old man with kind eyes, but Jia Rong will not be deceived by his appearance. It is definitely not easy to be able to achieve the position of prefect. The prefect is equivalent to the mayor of later generations.

Jia Rong and Li Bing paid a visit to the grand ceremony: "The humble position Jia Rong (Li Bing) pays homage to the prefect."

"Well, get up, the soldiers you brought are good, much better than the soldiers from other counties." said the prefect.

Jia Rong said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Thank you for your praise, Lord Prefect." Jia Rong was shocked. The news about this prefect was really well-informed. He came to pay homage to him as soon as he came to the county town. Unexpectedly, he had already received the information of his soldiers. It was really not easy.

After hearing the prefect's praise, Li Bing was happy and did not go deeper. After all, not everyone could get the praise from his superiors. Even if these soldiers were not brought out by themselves, they would be very proud to tell them about this today.

The prefect looked at the reactions of the two of them and continued, "Next, you will be stationed in the city and waiting for military orders. Remember not to let the soldiers disturb the people, and those who violate the situation will not be spared easily."

Jia Rong and Li Bingnuo said that they were.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Jia Rong sighed deeply. The atmosphere inside was very oppressive. He had never seen such a large official in his previous life, and his mood was naturally turbulent. At the same time, he also felt a sense of oppression. Under the eyes of the prefect, he seemed to have nowhere to hide. Jia Rong even felt that his inner thoughts were also seen through.

According to the instructions issued by the prefect's office, Jia Rong was assigned to Guo Si's army.

The next day, Li Bing and Jia Rong came to visit Guo Si again. The new army was in office and naturally had to go to report.

Guo Si is a mighty man, and his whole body seems to have an explosiveness, and he bursts out powerful power at any time. This is a very strong man; this is Jia Rong's first impression when he saw Guo Si.

Guo Si was not at all interested in the arrival of Jia Rong and Li Bing. There were many new recruits like this every year, and how many people could survive in the end. Guo Si put down a weapon he was fiddling with and said slowly: "Where are you from, how many soldiers are, and what soldiers learn, they all report them one by one."

As soon as Guo Si finished speaking, Li Bing said flatteringly: "Report to General, our soldiers are from Hechi County, with more than 2,000 people, and the soldiers are all practicing spears."

"How many two thousand?" Guo Si walked up to continue asking after hearing Li Bing's words.

Li Bing was in trouble for a moment, and he really didn't know that the soldiers were not trained by him. Besides, even if he was asked to train, he would not be idle and remember to write useless things. When he saw Guo Si coming step by step, he was so scared that he almost collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this, Jia Rong bowed and replied: "Report to General, there are 2,127 new recruits trained in Hechi County, plus the 100 soldiers in the former Hechi County Army who followed Hechi County, and the fifty followers of Li Xiaowei, a total of 2,277 people."

Hearing Jia Rong's answer, Guo Si's face showed a satisfied smile, and then looked at Li Bing and said, "For those who are generals but do not know how to fight, they are mediocre people. Work hard in the future."

Seeing that Guo Si did not blame him, Li Bing felt relieved and hurriedly saluted to Guo Si and said, "The villain must remember the general's words."

Guo Si looked at Jia Rong and said, "What's your name? What's your position in the army?"

Jia Rong replied respectfully: "I trained the soldiers of Hechi County and have no position in the army."

"Hmm? Oh, I said why are you so familiar with the situation of soldiers? I don't have a job yet, so I think you are responsible for the soldiers in Hechi County. You have to hurry up when training or something." Guo Si said.

Jia Rong hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, and your humble position will definitely live up to the general's high hopes."

Guo Si nodded, looked at Li Bing and said, "You just follow me."

Li Bing was immediately overjoyed, and his dissatisfaction with Guo Si's arrangement for Jia Rong to take over the soldiers of Hechi County also disappeared. In his opinion, following Guo Si was the most promising one.

When he returned to his residence, thinking about the people he had met today, Jia Rong felt that he had completely integrated into the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Guo Si was originally Dong Zhuo's subordinate. After Dong Zhuo was killed, Guo Si had no place to go, so he adopted Jia Xu's plan and colluded with Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other former Dong Zhuo troops to attack Chang'an, defeat Lu Bu, kill Wang Yun and others, occupy Chang'an, and control the power of the court. A few years later, Guo Si was killed by his general Wu Xi.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Guo Si was an important general of Dong Zhuo, a powerful general under Dong Zhuo, and had all kinds of civil and military strategies.

Feeling the breath of troubled times, Jia Rong worked hard to practice marksmanship, swordsmanship, and military fist while training soldiers in Hechi County. Perhaps what he could do in this quarrels and controversial Eastern Han Dynasty.

Guo Si is also very generous to soldiers. The soldiers do not eat the best, but he insists on eating with the soldiers every day and does not make special contributions by himself. There are indeed not many generals who can do this, and Guo Si is also loved by soldiers. Jia Rong admires this. Only when he treats soldiers like his relatives, can soldiers work hard for you during war.

During this period, Guo Si also guided his marksmanship, which benefited Jia Rong a lot.

Jia Rong also indirectly asked Guo Si why soldiers from Hechi County only practice marksmanship and not other martial arts; Guo Si did not hide this, saying that it was a need in the army, so that soldiers could be distributed more reasonably on the battlefield. From Guo Si's tone, Jia Rong could also see that Guo Si was also dissatisfied with the system of recruiting soldiers.

What surprised Jia Rong even more was that Guo Si's official position was not as big as Li Bing, which made Jia Rong very puzzled.

In fact, Jia Rong didn't know that Dong Zhuo was just a lieutenant in the Western Regions, but he was just in charge of the imperial court orders to fight on the frontier. What's more different from Li Bing, the lieutenant was that the lieutenant was shot through real guns, while Li Bing bought it from the court for money. He had no actual power and just had a position.

The soldiers who came from Hechi County were spearmen, and the soldiers who were recruited from other counties included archers, shield soldiers, and sword soldiers. When the troops arrived one after another, there were about 10,000 people. They stood on the generals' platform, with no sight at all, and there were more than 10,000 people, with no boundaries, which really happened. Afterwards, Jia Rong's task was to train soldiers in accordance with Guo Si's footsteps; Jia Rong asked Guo Si for a lot of knowledge on the battlefield, and Guo Si also knew everything about this.

It has been nearly a year since I arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Without saying anything, my martial arts have made great progress, especially my arm strength, which is even more amazing. Even if I have not carefully measured how much my arm strength is, Jia Rong felt that he was full of strength now; although he did not have any amazing martial arts, he could only reduce his strength to ten times with one force. I believe that even on the battlefield, he would have the power to protect himself.

Since communicating with Guo Si, his martial arts have made rapid progress. Even Guo Si has praised Jia Rong several times. Perhaps his martial arts can only be tested on the battlefield.
