The 800 soldiers of the Guoyong Camp of the Beijing Camp led by Cai Quan arrived at Chang'an County at noon on the second day. Because it was getting late during the journey of sixty miles, they stopped at a post station called Da'an Post Station.
Stay overnight.
Because it was already late August, although it was noon, the sun was not dazzling.
Jia Hengduan sat on his horse and looked at Chang'an County not far away. The city was neither high nor low, the city gates were wide open, and pedestrians were constantly coming and going.
A large flag with the Chinese character "Han" in black and red patterns was erected on the top of the city. It was fluttering in the wind, and there were soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Jingzhao Prefecture governs 14 counties including Chang'an and Wannian. As a county adjacent to Shenjing City in the three auxiliary areas of Gyeonggi Province, Chang'an County has a military post of Jiedushi, which oversees the surrounding 600-mile garrison, passes and other defenses. At the same time, it also has
As a garrison officer, he is responsible for commanding 1,200 soldiers to guard the county town. No soldiers or soldiers are allowed to be mobilized without orders from the Ministry of War.
"Brother Heng, the sergeants are all tired. Let's take a rest before entering the city." Cai Quan looked back at the listless soldiers and said, "I'll go to Chang'an Jiedu to send the survey signed by the Ministry of War first, and then get some
Let’s sacrifice wine and meat to the five internal organs temple first and then talk about it.”
Jia Heng nodded. Even if he didn't want to know that there might be spy spies in Chang'an County, he could only go to the city first.
Because they were traveling with a small number of troops, they naturally did not bring any auxiliary troops with them. They only brought some rations with them. Logistics and military supplies had to be provided by Guanyi and the county town along the way, so it was impossible for them to go deep into Cuihua Mountain alone.
Otherwise, these veteran soldiers behind you will be the first to jump.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said to Cai Quan, "We are about to enter the county town. Let the soldiers cheer up first, organize their queues, and enter the county town for lunch."
Cai Quan responded and ordered the two hundred households beside him.
As the military order was passed, the soldiers who were originally hungry, thirsty and listless cheered up after hearing the words, and managed to line up in order, holding flags, five people in a row, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and marched towards the county seat.
go.
Not long after, Chang'an County Guard Huang Tai, who had received the report, was having lunch with his family. After receiving the report from the servant, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Prepare your official uniforms. The officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp are coming. I will go and greet them."
The son on the side, Huang Mao, was fourteen years old, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth. He said: "Dad, this is the third trip to Jingying. No one can cure the big eyes in Cuihua Mountain."
Because the leader of the bandits in Cuihua Mountain was named Zhang, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, so he said this.
"You boy, eat your food well, you have to go to school later." Huang Tai was served by his wife Zhao, wearing the official uniform of a sixth-grade military attache. This military general looked more like a civil servant, with a clear face and a chin.
With a short beard, he took the Wild Goose Feather Knife from the old servant beside him and smiled at Madam Zhao beside him: "This boy, I have to find a matchmaker for him in a few days, and I am not getting into shape day by day.
"
Mrs. Zhao glanced at her son fondly and said, "Your son has someone in his heart. On August 15th the day before yesterday, he fell in love with a girl named Jin Geer. I asked someone to inquire..."
"Mother..." Huang Mao looked embarrassed and said anxiously.
"It's a blessing for my family that Mao'er has fallen in love with her. I'll tell your father and I'll propose marriage to you as soon as tomorrow." Ms. Zhao said with a smile.
Huang Tai said with a smile: "In a few days, I will go to the Zhang family to propose marriage. I don't know if the Zhang family girl has big eyes."
Joking about his son, Huang Tai straightened his clothes and said to Zhao on the side, "I'm going over."
"Go, Master." Mrs. Zhao reached out and patted the thread on Huang Tai's shoulder, and said with a gentle smile.
Huang Tai took his soldiers, mounted his horse, and left Chang'an County. He walked to the Chang'an Jiedu Envoy Office. His eyes became a little gloomy and he thought, "This time the Beijing camp comes, most likely it will return without success."
As officials in the same county, some things were hidden from the public. It was a secret that Yun Guang, the governor of Chang'an, was bribed by the Cuihua Mountain bandits, but as time went by, it was more or less revealed by Huang Tai, who was the guard of Chang'an.
I saw some clues.
However, he had a soft temperament and was afraid of Yun Guang's status as a general of the Jia family. Even if he got some evidence, he did not dare to report it to his superiors.
I couldn't help but send it to Yun Guang's desk.
Huang Tai led two soldiers and rode to the gate of the city. He got off his horse and happened to hear his brother-in-law Zhao Yan, who was guarding the gate, talking to the general in the capital camp.
He walked a few steps quickly and was about to approach him with a smile when he was suddenly startled and his pupils shrank, "Is this Feiyu suit, Jin Yiwei?"
A turbulent wave arose in my heart, "What are Jin Yiwei doing here?"
He bit the bullet and was about to step forward when he suddenly felt a pair of sharp hawk-like eyes staring at him. He saw the leading young man looking at him with an indifferent expression.
"I have seen you in this humble position." The Chang'an garrison is the sixth rank, and the deputy Qianhu of Jingying is actually the sixth rank. They have the same official rank. Naturally, the one the Chang'an garrison calls "sir" is obviously here for Jia Heng.
The color of the patchwork of the Feiyu uniform worn by Jia Heng is still slightly different from that of the fourth-grade military attaché official uniform.
"Huang Shou Bei." Jia Heng's face was indifferent and his voice was cold. He had already learned Chang'an Shou Bei's name from the Shou City Primary School, Huang Tai, thirty-six years old.
"The governor of Chang'an is Yun Guang, so that's right. This Huang Tai was obviously taken away by Sister Feng for three thousand taels of silver, and defrauded the Chang'an garrison of his son." Jia Heng's mind was spinning, thinking, his expression
Not revealing anything.
"I wonder what I call this great commander?" Huang Tai couldn't grasp the young man's thoughts, so he cupped his hands and asked.
As for why he is a young man of power, and a young man suddenly ascends to a high position, except for the sons of princes, he hardly thinks about it.
Jia Heng said calmly: "Jia Heng."
Huang Tai's heart sank, Jia family?
A smile appeared on his face and he said: "It turns out that she is the queen of the Second Duke Ning Rong. No wonder she feels so heroic when she sees her from a distance."
Jia Heng took a look at Huang Tai, and said in a gentler voice: "Huang Shou, I have been ordered by the Holy Order to accompany the army to wipe out the bandits in Cuihua Mountain. You are guarding Chang'an County. I have many details to ask you later."
When Huang Tai heard this, he didn't even dare to say it.
Afterwards, Cai Quan talked to Huang Tai again and asked, "Can Yun Jiedu be in the government office?"
Yun Guang was the military governor of Chang'an and was a fourth-grade military general. Naturally, he would not go out of the city to meet a deputy Qianhu from the Beijing camp. As for the magistrate of Chang'an, because the autumn grain collection was imminent, he went to the township to supervise the affairs.
"Master Jiedu is in the government office now. Cai Qianhu can come with me later." Huang Tai said with a smile, then looked at Jia Heng and said: "Master Jia, let the brothers go to the barracks to rest first.
Later, I will prepare some meat and wine for the army."
Chang'an County has received the Forbidden Army several times to suppress bandits. It is obvious that they are already familiar with the road, and even the vacant barracks are ready-made.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "We have Lao Huang on guard."
Seeing Jia Heng's polite words, the smile on Huang Tai's face couldn't help but grow bigger, and he extended his hand to invite a few people to enter the county town.
Seven to eight hundred soldiers, more or less, neighing and honking, lined up through the bustling streets of Chang'an County.
People on the roadside gathered around him. Jia Heng's ears were sharp and he heard some comments, "The capital has sent troops to suppress bandits again, and they are going to send fish and meat to these big men."
At this time, an aunt carrying a vegetable basket and Jingchai cloth skirt shook her head and said.
"The more bandits are suppressed, the more the officers and soldiers are in trouble." Walking to a blacksmith shop, the blacksmith, sweating profusely and with strong muscles, talked about the hammer.
"There is no way to suppress bandits, but there is a way to disturb the people." An old man wearing a long gown and a goatee said in a loud voice, sitting on a bamboo stool with a book in his hand and reading without raising his head.
As we walked along, we could hear similar words amidst the noise and commotion.
Jia Heng's face paused, and he looked at Cai Quan aside, and saw that his expression was also a bit embarrassed, and he clearly heard the pointing words.
He looked up again to see Huang Tai, who was leading the way, with a calm expression on his face.
"The officers and soldiers have repeatedly launched raids and disturbed the local area, but in vain. This in itself is a huge harm to the central authority's prestige."
Jia Heng's eyes flashed and he thought.
As Huang Tai entered the camp, Cai Quan settled his generals, then took the military survey and said to Jia Heng: "Brother Heng, I'm going to see Jiedu."
"Let's go together." Jia Heng's face paused, glanced at Huang Tai, and said in a deep voice.
Cai Quan's official position was lower than that of Yun Guang, so there was no way he would make things difficult for him. He followed him, and Yun Guang was not too unreasonable.
By the way, I also touched on the situation of Yun Guang.
The officers and soldiers repeatedly failed to suppress the enemy. If you include him this time, it was actually the third time.
Yun Guang was the governor of Chang'an, and he also suppressed a group of five to six hundred bandits. If the army did not pay attention to the geography, it would be understandable that the suppression was ineffective. But Yun Guang, as a local snake, really had no influence on the bandits in Cuihua Mountain.
Don’t you know anything about the activities in Chang’an County?
There must be something fishy in it!
Chang'an Jiedu Government Office
This is a government office that integrates a government office and a courtyard. There are several entrances from the front and back, with the government hall in the front and the courtyard in the back.
In local areas, government offices are often built according to this method to facilitate officials' work.
As a fourth-grade military attaché in Chang'an, Chang'an Jiedushi built the Yamen magnificently, with carved beams and painted pillars. In front of the door stood red pillars in the state of soldiers wearing armor and holding wild goose feather swords. The golden lacquer nailed door stood out in the midday sunshine of autumn.
Below, reflecting the dazzling light.
According to the Han system, there were actually restrictions on the specifications of the mansion, such as the number of copper nails on the door.
However, after the dynasty passed for a hundred years, laws and regulations were relaxed, and there were more or less excessive regulations in both the capital and local areas.
In the official hall, Yun Guang was also having lunch, with several concubines beside him.
Yun Guang is in his early fifties, with gray hair, a thin face, high cheekbones and thin lips, and a shallow scar on the left cheek that extends from the corner of his eyebrows to his nose, adding a bit of evil to him.
At that time, he was also a general in Jingying, serving as a servant under the first-class Shenwei General and Jingying Jiedushi Jia Daihua.
Therefore, he calls himself a disciple of the Jia family.
"Sir, Jia Heng should arrive in Chang'an County in the next two days." Ru Niang, the fourth concubine on the side, said with a smile.
"It's probably today that this person caused Brother Jia from Dong Mansion to enter Jingzhao Mansion and disturbed me so much that I haven't slept so well in the past few days." Yun Guang frowned and said.

Lai Sheng contacted the thieves in Cuihua Mountain. Although he did not intervene directly, he also hinted that one of his confidants was a matchmaker. His original intention was to sell Jia Zhen to a good deal, but he never thought...
"Didn't I say that he has become the leader of the Jia clan? Will I see you when he comes?" Ru Niang asked with a smile.
"No! Just say I'm sick. Just ask your brother to greet me. Don't miss him as soon as the military needs are met. This will also prevent others from saying that I, Yun, don't miss my benefactor." Yun Guang smiled lightly, but
Because there is a scar on his face, his smile is somewhat ferocious.
I sneered in my heart, if I were here, I wouldn’t be the leader of the clan!
He must do things so that no flaws appear on the surface.
At this moment, the servant outside the door suddenly hurried to the eaves of the flower hall and said: "Master, master, the royal guards from Beijing are here."
"What?" Yun Guang's face changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Where is he?"
