Ever since Li Chengzhong occupied Liucheng, the life of the elders of Pinbu has not been very proud. Leaving aside the young man who has been studying hard in "Zhongnanhai", the other elders have lost the pride and glory of being in power in the past.
Also be cautious.
It was already late at night, and the banquet started to be held in the old house of the old man Pin. There were three people who were invited to come to the banquet. At this moment, only two people came, the elder Dan Zhumu and the elder Yu Lai. Danzhu Munnian
Already sixty-seven years old, this age can already be called "longevity", which is rare whether on the grasslands or in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Yu Lai, on the other hand, has just passed his thirties, which is the period when he is in the prime of life.
There were spikes of wolf fangs in his ears, giving him a tough look.
It's just that the character, no matter how tough he was in the past, is just depressed now, and he complains from time to time to vent his dissatisfaction with the current situation.
"Yesterday I went to Gu Si's house for a banquet. This guy turned out to be an officer of the Military Law Department of the Education Department. He was arrogant and arrogant during the dinner. He treated me with a lot of disrespect in his words, but there was no elder like me in his eyes! Humph, I used to be a
The little shepherd has now bullied me. What kind of world is this?"
After graduating from the first batch of Bailangshan Military Academy, all the cadets have been assigned to military positions. Among them, the appointments of three Khitan people, Gusi, Omari and Azhu, are the most eye-catching. Gusi became the superintendent of the Military Law Department of the Education Department.
Omari became the captain of the left team of the Yidu Cavalry Battalion, and Azhu joined the scouts of the middle camp as the captain, and for a time he became a famous figure among the Khitan people. With these three people as role models, the young and strong among the Khitan people
In addition to being jealous, they are even more eager to apply for the army. Unfortunately, the Yingzhou Army does not recruit new soldiers now. It only recruits reserve battalions, and only in Xiaolinghe. Even so, some young Khitan people rushed to the Xiaolinghe Recruitment Office to apply for this job.
The so-called preparatory camp.
In fact, when Gu Si's family held a banquet last night, they had no disrespect towards Lai, the elder of the clan. Not to mention sitting in the upper position during the dinner, Gu Si's family also went to toast. It's just that Yu Lai couldn't vent his grievances.
No matter how he looks at the other party, he feels displeased, which is why he made this complaint. Deep down in his heart, Yu Lai also wants to join the army, but it is limited to his status as a senior minister in the past. Although he does not explicitly say that he belongs to the Yingzhou Army, it is in fact
The person under his supervision, his wish to join the army and strive for wealth can only be in vain.
"What kind of world? - It's the world when Li Chengzhong is in power, it's the world where our department is in decline." Gu Li said in a confused voice.
Under the strong propaganda of Yingzhou Governor Shifu, in just four months, the concept of "people of the Tang Dynasty" has gradually entered the hearts of the people. When people meet, it has become fashionable to call themselves "people of the Tang Dynasty". Xi people, Khitan people, and Mohe people
Addressing people has become a forbidden area. If someone mentions ethnic issues in public, they will often be labeled as separatists. In this environment, all the policies formulated by the Changshi Mansion are indistinguishable.
Ethnic groups are all for Tang people. If you don’t consider yourself a Tang person, then I’m sorry, but you won’t be able to enjoy these policies.
"If this continues, how can our department continue? I don't know what Xiao Langjun and the elder are thinking." Yu Lai sighed again, his words full of helplessness.
Gu Lihun sneered and said: "What do you think? What else can you think? Xiao Langjun was imprisoned in the mansion named Li to study. Last time I went to visit, he was full of words that I missed. I read it and read it as
Idiot! The Great Elder is also wise to protect himself. He doesn’t dare to ask too much about what happened to us Khitans. How can anyone speak for the Khitans nowadays? However, the Great Elder has the right idea for the surnamed Li. He heard that he is about to take office and is going to Yan County to become Yan.
The county order is here!"
Yu Lai was stunned: "Yan County Order?"
Danzhumu, who had half-closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The storm is coming!" He raised the wine bowl and took a sip, then closed his eyes again, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If the great elder goes to Yan County to be the magistrate of Yan County, what will Elder Brother Rong do?" Brother Rong is the only Khitan elder who is still in power, and Yu Lai can't help but be very concerned.
The man in his bones said: "Elder Brother Rong is appointed as the Lieutenant of Yan County."
Yu Lai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay." The elder was appointed as the magistrate of Yan County, and Elder Rong Ge was appointed as the captain of Yan County. Could it be that Li Chengzhong was so relieved to hand over Yan County to the hands of the Khitan people? Does it mean that Li Chengzhong has relaxed his attitude towards Yan County?
Under the supervision of the elders of the product department? Could it be that the day when he comes to the forefront is not far away? Yu Lai couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Okay? What's so good about it? The man named Li set up a reserve camp and ordered Elder Rong Ge to lead his troops to Liucheng for training. Each reserve camp had 250 people, and Elder Rong had to hand over 150 men.
When people come, they will be distributed to other reserve camps." Gulihun was very concerned about the policies of the top management of Yingzhou and was very well-informed. He added: "Can the soldiers who have been trained by Li be still considered ours? Then
The real surname is Li. Besides, do you know how much power Yan County Lieutenant has? The mobilization of soldiers cannot exceed fifty people, and the consent of Yan County Order is also required!"
Yu Lai's expression changed several times, and finally he remained silent for a long time before saying, "Elder Brother Rong, can you agree?"
"So what if you don't agree? The people named Li are now very strong. If Brother Rong comes to Liucheng obediently, everything will be easy. If you dare not come, just wait and see, the war is about to begin!"
Yu Lai lamented: "The four hundred people under Elder Brother Rong are already the last elite of our department. If a fight breaks out, how many people will be left in our department? Could it be that God is going to kill my department?"
Danzhu Mu on the side sighed softly and poured another bowl of wine. This time he stopped tasting it in small sips and drank it all in one gulp. However, he choked and coughed several times.
The three of them were worrying about the future of the product department. Someone outside the door reported that Cui Shang had arrived. Cui Cheng was also invited tonight. In other words, Cui Cheng was also one of the sponsors of tonight's banquet. Gu Lihun hurriedly
Went out and brought him in.
Cui Cheng came with Zhao Heng. He had become very familiar with the three elders including Gu Lihun, Dan Zhumu and Yu Lai, so he introduced Zhao Heng to the three of them. He heard that Zhao Heng was a member of the Zhao family.
The direct descendant was the chief among the disciples sent to Yingzhou by General Zhao. Gulihun immediately showed some respect, led him to the table, and personally filled a bowl of wine for Zhao Heng.
On the way here, Cui Cheng had already told the whole story about the purpose of the trip. At this moment, Zhao Heng was excited and nervous. After drinking a few bowls of wine, he calmed down his pounding mood a little. After a few people ate and drank for a while, the topic
He was brought back again, and he immediately talked about the matter of bringing Elder Brother Rong back to Liucheng this time.
There were people here who were dissatisfied with the senior officials of Yingzhou, and they all knew each other well, so their words were much more straightforward. Gu Lihun opened the conversation first and went straight to the topic of the night.
"Now is an opportunity. I wonder if everyone is willing to seek wealth together!" Although he asked "everyone", in fact, his eyes were only on Danzhumu and Yu Lai. He and Cui Cheng had already discussed this.
The purpose of this banquet was to bring the two elders into the alliance.
"What opportunity?" Yu Lai asked.
"The man surnamed Li is too trusting. He is a little eager for success. The army is fighting in the Xiaoling River in the south, but he does not care and forcibly recruits Elder Rong Ge to return to Liucheng. What is even more ridiculous is that he is also conducting a 'Northern Command' at the same time.
To train the new army, he wants to bring the new army to the northern foot of Helong Mountain for training. Don't he think about how he will end up if elder Rong Ge takes advantage of the emptiness of Liucheng to suddenly cause trouble?"
Yu Lai was horrified and moved: "This guy is really a big deal." After thinking about it, he said helplessly: "So what, Elder Brother Rong's relatives are in the city, under Li Chengzhong's nose, how dare he act recklessly?"
Cui Cheng said darkly: "Don't forget, Brother Rong's son Bu Deng died in the hands of Li Chengzhong. Who can bear the revenge of killing his son?"
Gu Lihun said cheerfully: "Let's add more firepower. We have made an agreement with Brother Rong. He will come from outside the city and we will launch from the city. When the time comes, we will launch together. There are not many soldiers in Liucheng, so we can attack them with one blow!"
Yu Lai was dumbfounded, looking at Gu Lihun and Cui Cheng, he felt his mouth was dry. After a while, Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "He Longshan... is not far from Liucheng. When, if the army comes back, what will happen to us?"
withstand?"
Cui Cheng smiled and said: "Zhao Erlang has reported to the Yuhousi Operation Department today. It is easy to make a training plan. Let's act according to the plan. As long as all Li Chengzhong and others are executed, the army will collapse. Then we will collapse."
Moreover, Cui Erlang of a certain family has also been transferred to the logistics department to take charge of food and grass matters. Do you still need to worry about the food and grass matters?"
Immediately, several people assigned their respective tasks. Cui Cheng and Zhao Heng were responsible for contacting Zhao Yuanping, Cui He worked together, and Zhao Heng also worked out the training plan and handed it over to elder Rong Ge to strengthen his heart. Yu Laihe
Danzhumu was responsible for gathering and mobilizing the Khitans separately, and would take action together when the time came. Gulihun secretly rushed to Yanjun to contact Brother Rong.
After the discussion was completed, Cui Chengdao said: "After the matter is completed, General Zhao agreed to grant the official position of the Pinbu Department by order of the court. Yan County will be returned to Pinbu, and Liucheng will be returned to General Zhao. Any losses of Pinbu in Liucheng will be transferred to Zhao."
The general is responsible for repaying the compensation, and both parties are brothers, sharing honor and disgrace!"
The next morning, Zhao Heng humbly apologized to Yang Keshi and others, and asked to take a look at the training plan, saying that he wanted to consult and figure it out. He himself was an officer of Yuhousi, so this request was made openly and honestly, and Yang Ke
Shibian took out Plan A and gave it to him to look at carefully. Zhao Heng selected the important points and read them carefully several times before returning to his room, recording the contents one by one and folding them into secret letters.
He stuffed it into his sleeves. After finding an excuse, he came out of the headquarters Yamen and rushed to the Furu Inn where Cui Cheng lived and handed the secret letter to Cui Cheng.
After these things were done, Zhao Heng went to find Zhao Yuanping and Cui He again, and made an appointment with the brothers to get together in the evening.
Although they are all children of the Zhao family, after a month of training at Bailangshan Military Academy, the three of them have changed to varying degrees, especially Zhao Yuanping and Cui He. Although they promised to be together last night, they will be
Zhao Heng was involved in this incident, but after meeting him, Zhao Heng felt a little guilty and did not dare to tell his purpose easily.
He first tentatively asked the two of them what they thought of the Yingzhou Army, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yuanping and Cui He would actually sing praises for it. After this conversation, Zhao Heng was a little unsure, so he didn't dare to go any further.
When he mentioned the matter, he just changed the subject and talked about something else. Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards his two brothers. He thought to himself at the moment, after Liucheng changes hands, let's see what you two do.
Say! To be continued. (..), your support is my biggest motivation.)
