It is true that Zhang Xiaowu had no experience in governing the people before, and had never been exposed to memorials, and everyone under him was also a big boss. The only civilian official, Guan Xiang, was just a civilian in the military, so no one realized that writing
Memorials every ten days.
No wonder the imperial court also completely forgot about them. The imperial court thought that Mucheng was only guarded by thousands of broken troops, which caused the current misunderstanding.
At this time, Zhang Xiaowu took Ruan Qingwen to write these three memorials together. In the first memorial, Ruan Qingwen wrote about the current situation of the Mucheng garrison and the situation in the north of the Great Wall. To put it bluntly, it was the origin and demands of the 10,000-strong garrison in Mucheng.
Military pay. The second memorial describes the situation of the deposed prince and shows his loyalty to the emperor. The deposed prince has nowhere to go and can only be imprisoned here. How to be loyal to the emperor and so on. The third memorial shows that Zhang Xiaowu is more familiar with Saibei. He and
Su Yu, a civil and military partner, will work together to lobby Quan Yi, and he will surely be able to fulfill the important trust of the imperial court.
In the memorial, Ruan Qingwen boasted about Zhang Xiaowu, about wiping out the sand bandits in Saibei, killing Yegu Chashi, and shooting back millions of barbarians with three arrows. Zhang Xiaowu was praised as the best war god in Saibei.
After Zhang Xiaowu listened to these three memorials, he felt that there were too many elements of boasting about himself, and he felt embarrassed. Ruan Qingwen said: "You were worried that the court would not pay attention to it before, but now that you have written some legends, you are still worried. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
, who are you? That Jin Yiwei must have a file."
Mentioning the Jinyiwei, Zhang Xiaowu thought of Li Qing again, and his heart sank. It seemed that in order to reassure the court, he had to take Li Qing with him on this trip north.
The next day, Zhang Xiaowu selected his entourage: Li Yuan, who was skilled in riding and good at commanding cavalry, Ruan Qingwen, who was able to get in touch with Jincheng, and Li Chuncheng, who was good at sneak attacks.
The number of three hundred cavalry is not large, but they must be elite and hardy.
Being able to follow the ghost generals on an expedition and experience the legendary victory in every battle. The soldiers used their own skills one after another, and the scout battalion was even more dedicated. In order to compete for a place to go with the army, they were so jealous that they wanted to fight.
Su Yu's thirty-six guards were frightened. They all looked at each other and thought, why are these Mucheng soldiers so stubborn? They are not afraid of death?!
Thirty-six guards were told to stay in Mucheng. Zhang Xiaowu felt that these thirty-six people were not only useless, but might also hinder the team. The cavalry guards were grateful, and a school captain hurriedly said: "Sir, the guard commander, I have seventy old mothers below.
Waiting for food, although..."
"Shut up." Su Yu said disdainfully, "You guys just wait for me in Mucheng. If I die in the hands of Quan Yi, please ask City Lord Zhang to bury them with me."
"Easy to say, leave it to me." Zhang Xiaowu threatened, and the thirty-six guards were about to cry, but they couldn't shed any tears. This was the time when compensation was paid to grandma's house.
Li Yuan only had three days to select people. He first eliminated those with physical injuries or old injuries from 10,000 people, then selected those who could ride horses, the third selected those who could ride and shoot, the fourth selected those who could raise horses, and the fifth
The only son in the family was eliminated for the first time, and in the end there were 500 people left, and 200 people still needed to be eliminated. Li Yuan thought about it, but Li Qing suggested: "It's best to choose some people who can speak foreign languages. I don't think Mr. Su has any in his entourage."
Translation, after seeing a foreign race, why should I be tricked?" Li Qing was lucky last time, and Li Yuan had no chance to kill him, so he left him temporarily.
Li Yuan immediately realized the shortcomings of his trip and laughed loudly. He informed Zhang Xiaowu about the interpreter, and Zhang Xiaowu realized that the team did not have an interpreter. Su Yu said: "I heard that all the top Wuhuan officials can speak Chinese..."
"Brother Boling, you haven't met the senior officials yet, so you might have been killed by the soldiers at the bottom!" Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly. He asked Li Yuan to find an interpreter immediately, not only the Wuhuan interpreter, but also various other interpreters.
Interpretation of languages, Beiyi, Mohe, Tartar, Shengfan, Uzi, Yuezhi, etc.
One-third of the 300 elites selected by Li Yuan came from the Death Soldier Battalion, while the other two-thirds were the elite scouts of the Qinglong Army who retreated from the front line. Most of them came from the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, and the Third Regiment.
The third regiment and the fourth regiment.
In fact, although the Qinglong Army has ten regiments, its core strength is the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth regiments. Except for the fifth regiment stationed in Jincheng, which did not suffer any losses when the Yashan camp was broken, the third regiment was
The fourth regiment had previously been attacked by dog barbarians and lost half of its men. The remaining three regiments, with nearly 60,000 men, were the most elite force of the Qinglong Army. Apart from internal cooperation, everyone really couldn't figure out why the Yashan camp was attacked twice, and the one time was more powerful than the other.
A heavy loss.
The scouts who were able to escape had also gone through several life-and-death battles and were finally selected into the Sixth Formation. They were all elites in the army. How could the Sixth Formation composed of such an elite group be just ordinary people? No matter whether they were dead or alive.
The veterans of the soldier camp, or the cavalry scouts who escaped from the front line after a long battle, are now the most elite and skilled force in the Mucheng garrison. Under the training and command of Li Yuan, their combat effectiveness has surpassed that of the Sixth Regiment's Xiaoqi Battalion.
.
All we need is the east wind, and this east wind is the interpreter. There are people in the army who understand Tarta and Wuhuan. There is also a traveling merchant in the city who understands Beiyi, but there is only one missing person who can understand Mohe. Shen Lin Dongda
He smiled and reminded: "Sir, Bai Hao is from Mohe, have you forgotten?"
Zhang Xiaowu's head was in a row, and he was so anxious that he was dizzy. He was obviously next to a Mohe man, and he was looking around for the Mohe interpreter. He was really busy and dizzy.
The next day, Zhang Xiaowu convened the city's civil and military forces and formally appointed Xiao Kai as deputy garrison envoy to take charge of Mucheng's military defense tasks. Guan Xiang served as Mucheng County Magistrate in charge of civil affairs. Xiao Kai and Guan Xiang jointly took charge of Mucheng's military and civilian affairs.
Important matter. He then privately told Hu Sanwan that if something unexpected happened to him, Xiao Kai would be in charge of the Qinglong Army's salary, and Xiao Kai would continue to lead everyone. Hu Sanwan said anxiously: "Sir, you must come back alive, you must.
"
"There is a high probability that he will come back alive." Zhang Xiaowu said calmly.
Hu Sanwan choked up and said: "How about I find you a strong girl in the next few days, and you can at least keep a queen..."
Zhang Xiaowu was speechless: "Hang on, do you think I'm a stallion?"
After everything was prepared, Zhang Xiaowu gave the order, and in less than half an hour, Li Yuan led 300 elite troops to complete the preparations. The people braved the biting north wind, and amid the expectations of the soldiers and civilians in Tucheng, began their journey northward with an unknown future.
The road to peace talks.
However, it was already February of the first year of Dade, and the world in northern Saibei was still covered with snow. If there were no road signs along the road, they would never be able to find the road. Even the local old herdsmen would have difficulty navigating in this snowy weather.
Find the way.
Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped after two days, and there were no horse bandits or wild beasts along the road. The team arrived at the Roland ruins smoothly and rested for a day before continuing northward.
