Five county magistrates from six counties in Chenzhou came to Lin'an one after another.
Du Hui entered the state house, and the good old man Lin Ziyu enthusiastically handed over his hand, "Du Ming Mansion."
"Old Lin!" Du Hui nodded, "Do you know what's going on?"
Lin Ziyu's slightly chubby face showed some dissatisfaction, "The army is going out, and I, Chenzhou, are ordered to guard the grain road."
This man can't even explain a simple thing... Du Hui concealed his disdain and whispered: "Shouldn't it be a matter of the army?"
Lin Ziyu sighed: "That Duke Xu used the excuse of insufficient troops to leave this matter to various places."
Shameless!
The two entered the duty room. Du Hui took a look and saw that five magistrates from the six counties had arrived, but Yang Xuan had not arrived.
Liu Qing pressed his hands and everyone sat down. He said solemnly: "You probably know the matter by now. Guarding the grain road is an important matter, so you can't slack off. We all happen to be here today. Let's hand it over to each other. It's at the junction of the two counties.
How to patrol is up to you to decide, I don’t care. But if something goes wrong, military law will deal with it."
Everyone discussed for a while, and then discovered something.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xuan from Taiping County has not arrived."
The grain road passes through Taiping County, but where are the people?
Liu Qing nodded, "Yang Xuan is here. Someone came and asked him to come."
The clerk outside the door turned around but stopped.
Liu Qing had a cold face and was about to scold him when Yang Xuan appeared.
"I've seen the envoy."
Yang Xuan came in.
"Sit down and talk." Liu Qing's attitude became better, thinking that this young man had been struggling for two days, but he didn't know what he was doing. It's just that the young man was thin-skinned, so I didn't ask.
"Your Majesty, do those words still count?" Yang Xuan asked.
Hey!
Liu Qing said with a cold face, "Of course it counts."
"In this way, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Yang Xuan looked at the crowd and thought that with these people testifying, no matter how thick-skinned Liu Qing was, he would not be able to regret it. Two hundred sets of armor and three hundred long bows were enough for him to dress up for the death camp.
Liu Qing was startled, exchanged glances with Lu Qiang, and said solemnly: "This is a state house, it's not something to be trifled with."
"I don't dare." Yang Xuan said, "I can invite verification."
The five county magistrates were confused when they saw two petty officials coming in.
Just come in, come in. The two men looked at Yang Xuan with such hot eyes that it made people subconsciously think of the word worship.
Liu Qing leaned back slightly, maintaining an extremely dignified posture that Yang Xuan found uncomfortable, and said lightly: "What if it's inappropriate?"
Lu Qiang nodded slightly and thought it was a good thing to give the young man a good beating. As the saying goes, if you don't beat the young man, you won't be effective. If you don't beat the young man, you won't know how high the sky is.
"I will go back without saying a word, and I will never come to Zhoushe to beg for help!"
Begging?
Everyone finally understood, Lin Ziyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is famous for his fairness, who can beg for help?"
Yang Xuan pointed to the two minor officials, "Please ask the envoy to come up with the topic. The two of them will draft the document in public. If it doesn't match, I will admit defeat."
Liu Qing said calmly: "So, as I have something to do today, I drafted an official document with the title of ordering the counties to properly protect the grain roads."
A clerk stood up.
Open your mouth.
"I have..."
At first, everyone just listened casually, but gradually, they all sat upright.
The clerk finished drafting and backed away.
The lobby is very quiet.
Liu Qing's eyelids twitched, "The Ministry of Household Affairs issued a document instructing all localities to report this year's harvest. I, Chenzhou's harvest this year is a little less than last year, so I am drafting an official document."
Another clerk came forward and spoke...
There was more surprise in Liu Qing's eyes, but then it dissipated.
"The Ministry of Personnel assesses Chenzhou officials."
"People in Xuanzhou and Chenzhou are fighting for land."
"..."
Six questions in a row.
The two petty officials took turns to go into battle.
Of course, they will think and pause, and there will be some mistakes in the official document they just drafted. Whenever they make a mistake, they will look down at the paper in their hands and then recite it fluently.
By the sixth question, the clerk was already able to draft official documents freely.
Liu Qing waved his hand and stared at Yang Xuan with burning eyes, "Most of the officials in Chenzhou are unsuccessful, and there are even more minor officials who make up the numbers."
The few clerks looked contorted, but they couldn't argue... They couldn't draft the official documents well, so they were not qualified to argue.
"Can this method be generalized?" Lu Qiang asked him the question in his mind.
Yang Xuan nodded, "Simple."
Liu Qing's eyes burst out with brilliance, "Simple?"
"It's only two days." Yang Xuan pointed to the two minor officials, "These two can teach you."
This matter is really not complicated. He recited various official documents to Suzaku, and Suzaku immediately summed up some routines. It is really not complicated!
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Your Majesty..."
Liu Qing looked at the two clerks, "But is that so?"
"Yes." A junior official said: "Professor Yang Mingfu's method can be called a sharp weapon for official documents, and all troubles can be solved easily."
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xuan felt that Old Liu might be cheating, "Our agreement..."
"A gentleman's words..."
Everyone looked at them, confused.
Liu Qing slapped the table and said, "Here comes someone."
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Qing ordered: "Give Taiping two hundred armors, three hundred long bows, and countless arrows..."
Yang Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, envoy."
Liu Qing stroked his beard and said, "You, a young man, had such a good idea but didn't tell me about it early. It's obviously unkind. If you have a good idea in the future, just tell me. I will reward you for your merits, hahahaha!"
What the hell! When has your envoy ever been so kind to us? The five county magistrates all stared at Liu Qing.
"Your Majesty, I want to send weapons back to Long County!"
"Your Majesty, you cannot favor one over the other."
"Your Majesty..."
Liu Qing took a look at the case and said coldly: "Most of the officials in Chenzhou are clumsy and make frequent mistakes in the official documents they draft. Chang'an scolded me many times for this. If you wait, you can solve it. If you have weapons, even if you don't, I will put my arm
My leg is broken, I can use it as a weapon for you. But have you solved it yet?"
Lu Qiang smiled and said: "This method can be taught to junior officials everywhere. From now on, you don't have to worry about official documents."
These words imply: You also have to thank Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Lucky lucky."
The eyes of the five county magistrates almost burst out with fire, with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred!
Two hundred sets of armor, three hundred longbows... these weapons can equip an elite army, who wouldn't envy them?
…
When these weapons arrived at Taipei, the whole county was boiling.
"How did Lang Jun get it?" Everyone was puzzled.
"It makes it easier for you to speak."
Everyone: "..."
Liu Qing is notoriously hard to talk to.
"Hurry up and get equipped." Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "The army will attack, and the food road will be the first. There is a food road passing through Taiping..."
Nan He was puzzled, "Isn't that what the army should be guarding?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Leave it to various places."
Nan He was startled, "Is this... shirk? It is said that Mr. Xu was mean and selfish. After marrying a woman from the Yang family in Yingchuan, he rose to great heights in the army... But this is a battle formation! How can it be child's play?"
"He's just kidding!"
Yang Xuan said sarcastically, "No matter what others do, there are many foreign races in Taiping, so we must be careful."
…
Vashe Department.
In the big tent, the leaders gathered.
Hua Zhuo was sitting at the top, with a plate of mutton on the table. The mutton was a little cold, and the fat had solidified. He cut off a piece with a knife, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and slowly looked at everyone.
"The Northern Liao Dynasty sent envoys to us to attack and cut off the Tang army's food route."
When he mentioned the order, his tone obviously increased and there was a sarcastic look on his face.
"This is to capture chestnuts from the fire of Bei Liao!"
"Khan, you have to be careful about this."
Everyone was persuading each other.
Hua Zhuo dropped the knife on the plate and said calmly: "When the matter is completed, there will be ten thousand fat sheep and three thousand horses."
In an instant, the aggrieved eyes of a pair suddenly changed and became particularly fierce.
"Dry!"
"You'd be a fool not to do it!"
"I am willing to lead the army there!"
Hua Zhuo stroked his beard with his oily hand, and his beard became more and more shiny, "Go to Nayin."
A short and stocky leader came out and said somewhat disrespectfully: "Does the Khan want to consume our troops?"
Hua Zhuo looked at him and said coldly: "This is a good opportunity to make money for our Waxie tribe. You used to boast of your ingenuity, but you refused to contribute to the tribe. Why is this?"
This reason is impeccable.
Nayin suddenly laughed, "I was just telling a joke. I, Nayin, will take the responsibility."
Hua Zhuo nodded, "I am looking forward to your good news."
Then everyone dispersed.
Wahai, who had been silent in the corner, said softly: "Nayin is very ambitious and wants to replace you. You shouldn't give him a chance."
Hua Zhuo smiled and said, "The Tang army will send troops to guard the grain road, and those people will be brave and not afraid of death. Even if Nayin succeeds... he will suffer heavy casualties."
"Okay." Wahai closed her eyes and adjusted her inner breath.
Hua Zhuo asked with concern: "How is your injury?"
"It's been fine a long time ago."
"Hey!" Hua Zhuo stood up, "Just tell me what you want. If the tribe doesn't have it, I'll send people to buy it everywhere to look for it."
Wahai opened his eyes, with a touch of warmth in his eyes, "I know."
…
Grain carts were moving slowly, with three hundred infantry guarding them on both sides, and one hundred cavalry, led by Yang Xuan, patrolling in front.
"Lang Jun, it looks gloomy today!" The old thief looked at the sky and smacked his lips.
Yang Xuan nodded and slapped Wang Laoer, who was chewing the dried meat, "I'm eating, but I'm not growing any meat."
Wang Laoer tried his best to swallow the dried meat, "It's grown. Last time Yi Niang said that my clothes were too small, so it shows that I have grown taller."
"What a long fart!" the old thief said sarcastically, "That's because the clothes have shrunk."
The two bickered, and Yang Xuan looked at the grassland in front of him, thinking about Duke Xu.
Sending troops to guard grain roads is a matter of course. Using insufficient troops as an excuse is more like losing your temper. But this Duke Xu is quite old!
Yang Xuan couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the grizzled general pretending to be a little girl.
Why?
He is wondering.
Just seven or eight miles away from him, eight hundred riders had finished resting.
"Leader." A horseman came in a hurry, "The scouts of the Tang Army discovered us."
"Well!" Nayin said coldly: "Where are you going?"
The scout said: "We intercepted the route to the east, and the scout went to the west."
Nayin pondered for a long time.
"On the west side, I'm going to report to Zhang Yu County..." Nayin smiled, showing his calmness, "In front of us is the grain team. By the time the Tang army arrived, corpses were already lying all over the field, and the fire was starting a prairie fire. It's too late!"
Several horses were galloping ahead.
"Leader, it's the death camp from Taiping County guarding the grain truck, and the leader is the county magistrate."
"Oh!" Nayin was startled, "I ordered the local guards to guard the grain trucks...those death camps are just human prisoners. Yang Xuan, last time that idiot Hua Zhuo was coaxed into several carts of medicinal materials. He felt ashamed and ordered
When he was silenced, I captured the magistrate and went back to humiliate him."
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
When Nayin drew his sword, there was light in his eyes, like a blazing fire.
"Attack!"
Eight hundred riders advanced slowly.
…
Several Tang army scouts were galloping desperately, with more than ten riders chasing after them.
"drive!"
Everyone beat the horse with all their strength.
Ahead, more than a hundred riders suddenly appeared.
"It's Tang Jun."
"withdraw!"
The pursuers withdrew, and the scouts were overjoyed. Someone waved and shouted, "Who is the general?"
A group of people came up, but it was He Zun. He asked in a deep voice: "What did you find?"
A scout gasped: "While we were cruising, we discovered 800 horsemen of the Vashe tribe, moving towards the south."
"South..." He Zun thought.
"It's Taiping County. The grain truck happened to be passing there." The scout looked pale, obviously knowing the consequences of the grain truck's accident.
Once the grain truck is burned, there will be a gap in grain. This gap can be temporarily filled, but the morale of the army will be irrepressibly hit.
"Food is the most important thing in the military, bad!"
He Zun's expression changed drastically, "There are only thirty or so sergeants in Taiping County, and those death camps are made up of human prisoners. How can we face those tribal warriors directly?"
"Eight hundred cavalry against three or four hundred people..." He Zun looked back and shouted: "Hurry, let's go to Taiping's aid!"
…
The motorcade was moving slowly.
After months of hard work in the death camp, he now lost his impetuousness and became calm.
"The scout hasn't come back yet?" Yang Xuan asked.
This time he left a hundred sergeants behind and ordered Nan He to guard the base camp.
Zhao Youcai said: "It should be almost done."
Diao She smiled and said: "Our scouts are still novices, so mistakes are inevitable."
Yang Xuan smiled.
The atmosphere is relaxed.
Five miles away on the right, several riders were running for their lives.
Behind him, eight hundred horsemen were chasing after him.
"The grain truck is right ahead, let's catch it off guard!" Nayin shouted on horseback.
This would be a perfect raid!
He was convinced of this.
In front of the motorcade, Yang Xuan's body suddenly stagnated.
A chill ran down his spine.
My scalp is numb!
Just like before the first life and death crisis in Dongyu Mountain.
Yang Xuan galloped his horse and looked north, shouting.
"Grain truck formation!"
The officer leading the grain truck was startled.
"Yeah, I told you to form a formation!" Yang Xuan's eyes turned red.
The official trembled and said, "Form up!"
The grain trucks were lined up one after another, forming a circular formation. The truck drivers were holding weapons in the circle and looking outside at a loss.
Yang Xuan felt that his scalp was numb, just like the electric shock Suzaku said.
He shouted: "The death camp...form up!"
The death battalion formed its formation facing the north.
The array has just been formed.
The Northern Riders appear.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of riders swept in like a tide!
One rider raised his sword high.
The men on horseback stood up.
"Raid!"
In front of the array, someone screamed miserably.
"Enemy attack!"
…
It will be available tomorrow morning.
Thanks to the Silver League of "I want to live for decades".
