Chapter eight hundred and sixty seventh the name of the child to stop crying
The new recruits from Puhuizhuang did not accompany the convoy. They rode in ox carts and brought a lot of supplies. This long-distance march was simply a torture, even for the wealthy Xi Lie Army.
is also like this.
But marching is a kind of training. It is a good exercise for both physical fitness and perseverance.
It's just that their speed can't keep up with Ye An's convoy. The current convoy guards only have Zhao Hu and 20 other soldiers, plus more than 30 soldiers from the Imperial City Division.
Counting that in, the total combat power is only over fifty.
Fifty versus three hundred, in Ma Shouguan's view, this is seeking death, and the more than thirty strong men in An Village are no better than half of Yan Sandao's men. What's more, how can ordinary people compare with bandits?
Compare?!
Ye An carefully looked at the group of men in front of him. They were not bad. Although they were not as strong as he imagined, the men from the northwest who had worked all year round were covered in tendons.
They convert all the excess sugar in carbohydrates into energy and store it in their muscles. Don't underestimate lean and lean people, they can sometimes explode with amazing strength.
This is suppressing bandits. Not only does he have a reputation, but he is still defending his homeland. At this time, Ye An will not hide his identity again. Lao Ma is a smart man and knows what to ask and what not to ask. From then on
When Ye An entered An Village, he did not ask about Ye An's official position or mission, but now if Ye An wants to give them confidence, he must reveal the identity of Qin Feng Road's military commander.
"I am the Marquis of Yunzhong County. Qinfeng Road is under the control of soldiers and horses. With me here, what do you have to worry about?!" Ye Anhao angrily spoke to Qingzhuang who had been summoned by Ma Shouguan, but the scene was extremely tense.
Pulling the crotch, for these simple villagers, the county magistrate is the biggest official they know.
The magistrates further up were simply invisible to their ears. This was also the daily life of ordinary people in the Song Dynasty. For them, the petty officials in the yamen were all high-ranking officials because they could decide whether their food payments met the standards.
, kicking down the officials who were fighting could even reduce the amount of food they brought by 30%.
What is the military authority? Of course they don't know. Ma Shouguan next to them opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Grandpa Tian, why don't you hurry up and pay homage to Tianguan? This official is bigger than Zhizhou!"
Now the young people in An Village finally knew about it, and they quickly bowed down together and shouted "Heavenly Official". However, Ye An only saw fear and worry, but no feeling of confidence.
These farmers had the same idea as Ma Shouguan. They had seen the ferocious bandits with their own eyes. The scale of hundreds of people was simply beyond what he, a high-ranking official, could handle with the few manpower he had.
Even if we add all the young people in An Village, it will be in vain!
But Ye An was full of confidence. Only a fool would let this group of people fight against Yan Sandao's men. The role of these people was just to build momentum and at the same time serve as an aid to Zhao Hu, Cheng Gongshou and others.
Intimidation is the best way. Ye An's motorcade carries a guard of honor and a large flag that symbolizes the dominance of soldiers and horses. The bear and tiger are the flags, and the dragon is the flag. The big flag hunting immediately makes Ye An's momentum greatly different.
The ancients' respect for rituals has been implanted in their hearts since childhood, and these farmers were even more numb after seeing the majestic and gorgeous flags and ceremonial guards. This is really a great official! With him around, maybe...
Xuan'er and Mu Mu were not worried. They had absolute confidence in Ye An, and the soldiers and the guards of the Imperial City Department were not worried. Ye An's title of "Demon General" could make the Xiqiang children in Huanzhou
Stop crying.
Even the party members are spreading rumors that Ye An is a "devil" who has come to this world. If any child is disobedient, naming Ye An will definitely frighten the child.
Tieniu wiped the iron gun in his hand with some excitement. It was a fine iron spear with a long and sharp tip. The deep blood groove could drain the cow's blood cleanly in just a cup of tea...
The Wang Gang had already changed into their fancy clothes and took Ye An's documents and private seal. He carefully put them into his arms and got on his horse. He was going to the nearest Lintan Fort to mobilize the Funing Army stationed there, although the number was small.
There was only one commander and it was the Xiang Army, but it still had some effect after all.
Ye An, as the commander of the Qinfeng Road Army, would not dare to disobey the commander of the small Funing Army. Five hundred people were under one command, but Ye An felt lucky to have more than three hundred people in such a remote state capital. As for fighting,
Ability... just gathering the number of people.
At noon, the people who visited Baicheng sent officials to collect summer taxes, but when the officials arrived at the entrance of the village, they did not dare to go any further. The bear and tiger flags raised high, trembling in the wind and accompanied by the sound of hunting, were like living animals.
generally.
After hesitating for a long time, Cao Guan, who was collecting taxes, got off the cart and led his men into An Village. Looking at the flags, he knew that this was the headquarters of the Qinfeng Road Army. It was probably the Yunzhong County Lord who passed by here when he went to Liangzhou Prefecture.
Let’s take a rest in An Village, right?
Fang Qi straightened his official uniform and said to the strong man in front of him: "The lower official is a tax official from Tabaicheng. Today he came to An Village to collect the summer tax. I also asked the superior official to pass on the report..."
"What does your tax collector have to do with my Marquis? Do you want to meet my Marquis?!"
Tieniu curled his lips, his face full of disdain, while Fang Qi waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't dare, don't dare! I'm just nagging you, for fear of disturbing Qian Ju!"
Tieniu waved his hand: "Official Chen from the Imperial City Department said that it is cold in the northwest, and the harvests in Hehuang are all in September. If you dare to call for summer taxes in June now, you will force people to death! We have already impeached your family.
The eldest master, you go back home and don’t bother me, oh? By the way, you are here from Tabaicheng. How many commanders are there in the Funing Army in Tabaicheng? My Marquis plans to destroy Yan Sandao in Liujiaxia.
Move the troops!"
Fang Qi was already frightened by Tieniu's words. The Imperial City Department? The Imperial City Department's Chief Chen said that he wanted to impeach the county magistrate. This... this... was too shocking.
Who doesn’t know where the Imperial City Department is, Lord Chen? The only people who can be called high officials are eunuchs in the palace, so wouldn’t they be the governor of the Imperial City Department?!
Reminders have become a routine in Hehuang, but routines are routines. In fact, they are a bit unreasonable. Fang Qi did not dare to tremble when he saw Tieniu and asked quickly: "Five commanders, less than a thousand people, are only for city defense.
If Qianjia needs to mobilize troops, I'm afraid..."
"Five commanders only have less than a thousand people?!" Tieniu's voice was louder than a gong, startling the people around him, and Fang Qi in front of him was even more trembling, wanting to slap himself in the mouth.
.
Sure enough, a cold voice sounded: "If the five commanders were full, there should be more than 2,000 people, but now there are less than 1,000 people. They really "eat" a lot of military pay!"
Ye An slowly came out of the military tent. Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, he did not expect that the shortage of the Funing Army in Hezhou was so serious. Instead of looking at Fang Qi, he turned to Lintan Fort where the Wang Gang was heading. I'm afraid that there
It’s impossible for one command to be enough, right?
It's no wonder that there are so many bandits in Hehuang and Huangzhou. It seems that the Wang Gang will return without success, and it is impossible for Lintan Fort to send a commander of the Funing Army to help.
