Hu Sanwan returned to the supply camp and hurriedly handed over the handover to Wen Ruyu. In fact, there was nothing to hand over. After all, Hu Sanwan had already left all the work to Wen Ruyu. But Hu Sanwan chose thirty smart young men to follow him.
Wen Ruyu herself noticed that these thirty people were all from the old camp, and felt strange, and asked: "Master Hu, why were you dismissed? Could it be that you were reported for secretly transporting military rations and brewing wine?"
Hu Sanwan quickly blocked his mouth and hissed, "I would have forgotten this little thing if you didn't tell me."
"It's okay, I'll remember it." Wen Ruyu said with a smile, "Two hundred stones in total."
Hu Sanwan was so angry that he kicked him and threatened: "Boy, I promoted you, if you sue me, be careful of God's retribution."
Wen Ruyu said confidently: "You are not a good person. There are so many black cases that I don't need to sue you - why did the city lord remove you from your post?"
"There are other uses." Hu Sanwan felt proud, "As for the reason, there are only two words, confidential."
Wen Ruyu murmured, what kind of secret could Hu Sanwan have? However, the next day when he learned that Hu Sanwan had served as the magistrate of Mucheng, he almost spit out his blood. The so-called magistrate was nothing more than the person in charge of household registration and county records in the county government. He was led by a
The dignified captain of the baggage camp became a clerk, which was obviously a demotion.
However, Hu Sanwan was still cheerful. Wen Ruyu came to Hu Sanwan and said that she could either go and say good things to the city lord. Even if you embezzled some military rations, those military rations would be ruined sooner or later if you did not embezzle them. Hu Sanwan
I waved my hand and said that I would like to be a pawnbroker. Besides being a pawnbroker, I
He also serves as Zuo Sima of the garrison. Please call me Sir Sima from now on. The military officer Zuo Sima is a civilian military commander. He is only lower than the rank of military officer but higher than the rank of captain. It can be regarded as a promotion. However, the character Hu Sanwan
I don't know many people who serve as Zuo Sima, and Wen Ruyu doesn't understand even more.
But Hu Sanwan saw clearly that Zhang Xiaowu was preparing to do something big. He was nervous and conflicted. He even thought about whether Zhang Xiaowu was preparing to establish a semi-independent border military guard station in the north of the Great Wall.
The army of the Holy Han Empire is divided into four types: Yulin Army, Forbidden Army, Rural Army and Frontier Army. Except for the Imperial Army, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, the Forbidden Army, Rural Army and Frontier Army are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Among them, the Forbidden Army is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the Rural Army is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.
It has dual jurisdiction with the highest local officials, and the border army is more special.
The border troops of the Holy Han Empire refer to the defenders who live in border fortresses or checkpoints. The border troops are far away from the central government and transmit messages slowly. In the face of provocation and harassment from foreigners, in order to avoid the border guards from transmitting messages
In order to prevent the loss of timeliness, the imperial court allowed the border army to have the right to make corresponding decisions. In case of an incident, they could kill first and report later. However, this resulted in the border army's guard posts being in a semi-autonomous state.
Take Langwei as an example. The highest ruler of Lianglangguan is Cao Yan, the commander of Langwei. All civil and military decisions in Lianglang City are attributed to Cao Yan. In Lianglangguan, Cao Yan is the sky.
The people could not know who the emperor was, but they had to know Cao Yan. If Mucheng became a new garrison, their army would become another semi-autonomous military group. Thinking of this, Hu Sanwan felt
Full of energy.
Two days later, Chen Guanxi led his scouts back from the reconnaissance, but brought even more shocking news. The 150,000 white tiger army had passed the Lianglang Pass and was heading towards the capital.
Zhang Xiaowu immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The White Tiger Army rushed towards the capital. There were only two possibilities. One was that the capital was attacked by rebels, and Du Shanbo led his troops to rescue him; the other was that civil strife in the capital threatened the emperor, and Du Shanbo led the army to rescue.
The King of Soldiers, Zhang Xiaowu, was eager to learn more information, but unfortunately they were in the wilderness of the Great Saibei, and this confidential camp had not yet been established, so they had no source of information.
"If it's the source of the intelligence..." Zhang Xiaowu suddenly thought of a person. This person was the omniscient and omnipotent Lang Er Ye nicknamed Lang Er. He called Chen Guanxi and informed Chen Guanxi that he was responsible for the camp.
Regarding the matter of the colonel, Chen Guanxi pondered for a moment and said: "Hu Sanwan can be used as a cover, and I will find out the secrets. He is good at managing people, and I am good at doing things."
Zhang Xiaowu said happily: "I really didn't misjudge you."
Chen Guanxi added: "After I left the scout camp, Guancheng was short of a deputy. I recommended someone to your Excellency. You have also met this person. He is Captain Li Yuan, and he is also my new master."
Zhang Xiaowu remembered this man. He was about 28 or 29 years old and had a particularly energetic beard. He didn't know that this man was actually Chen Guanxi's master, so he asked about the cause and effect.
Although Chen Guanxi was jokingly called a dull gourd, people who don't like to talk tend to be very thoughtful. He knew that he had little talent and little knowledge. After serving as a scout camp commander, he was afraid that he would not be useful, so he humbly asked for advice from veterans who had served as scouts in the army.
It happened that Li Yuan in the defeated army was a scout officer, so he took the initiative to teach him. Chen Guanxi repeatedly promoted this person, and even made Li Yuan the scout captain, and would ask him about important matters.
Li Yuan was born in the Li family of the Bingzhou gentry. The ancestor of the Li family in Bingzhou was Cangshan Bo, one of the Thirteen Taibao of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although his ancestors were famous, by this generation, they had already lost their gentry title for hundreds of years.
Three hundred years ago, Cangshan Bo was granted a title and entered the capital. In order to avoid the danger of annihilation for his descendants, the first generation of Cangshan Bo only brought his eldest son to the capital and entrusted the younger son to the care of his comrades in Bingzhou. Cangshan Boguo had foresight and his importance
Sun was so arrogant that he got drunk one day and killed a brothel singer in public. The person he killed was the captain of the Jinyi Guards and the only son of Zhao Lu, the Yushuai of the Jinyi Guards.
Jin Yiwei was the emperor's eyes and ears, and the innocent killing of his ears and eyes naturally made the emperor furious. Not only did he seize Cangshan Bo's title, but also beheaded Cangshan Bo's great-grandson, and also demoted all the Li family in Longdu to Yongzhou in Lingnan to open up wasteland. However, it was a painful loss.
Zhao Lu, the only son of Yushuai, was constantly retaliating. After losing power and the protection of his old friends, all the Li clan in Longdu were persecuted to death. On the contrary, the Li clan in Bingzhou survived because of the protection of Cangshan Bo's old tribe.
As time went by, the former Jin Yiwei Yushuai Zhao Lu also died of old age, and the branches of Cangshan Bo Bing Prefecture continued to bloom again. Li Yuan was the descendant of the Li family of Cangshan Bo Bing Prefecture.
Li Yuan's family was wealthy, and he was proficient in bow and horse since he was a child. He participated in the martial arts examination and won the Martial Arts Scholarship at the age of sixteen. After Li Yuan returned to his hometown in Bingzhou, he defected to Yumen Guan Yuwei. He thought he would have a smooth journey, but Li Yuan was young and energetic and could not stand it.
When an officer commits evil acts, he or she develops a grudge against his superiors. A Wu Jinshi served in the Jade Guard for eight years, but he only served as the chief of scouts. Whenever there was danger, he was left alone, and every credit was given to others.
The Qinglong Army went north to attack Wuxin and expanded the 25th, 26th and 27th Regiments of the Forbidden Army. They were in urgent need of experienced scout officers. Li Yuan deliberately beat up the official who had been suppressing him.
As soon as he passed, he was kicked out by Yu Wei.
Li Yuan then came to the 25th Regiment to seek an officer, and when he first arrived, he became the scout corps leader based on his status as a former Wu Jinshi.
Yashan was defeated. Gu Yong sent scouts to detect the Quanyi army. Under the command of the captain, Li Yuan and other scout cavalry fell into the siege of Wuhuan cavalry. Li Yuan fought many times and finally broke out of the siege, and found that Jincheng was surrounded.
He had no choice but to follow the other defeated troops all the way south. Due to lack of food on the way, he had no choice but to eat his own mount. After wandering around, he finally arrived at Mucheng.
