"My lord, Zilong, you are back. You miss me so much!"
Wang Yu had always disliked red tape, and he despised ostentation. Therefore, although the news of his return to the army had been notified to the general's palace in advance, there was no crowd of people lined up to greet him, or people sweeping the floor and burning incense.
But no matter how low-key he is, he is still the Lord of Qingzhou. When he comes back after being away for more than half a year, it is impossible for the officials to show nothing. The welcome ceremony was held in the inner city. Now only the Yamen and the academy are left in the inner city, and the place is relatively spacious.
, and there is no risk of disturbing the people.
Wang Yu didn't care about this at all. There was a problem with the proliferation of privileges, and it was impossible to completely eliminate it. Instead of deliberately emphasizing it, it was better to let nature take its course. But what he didn't expect was that among the people who greeted him, the first
The one who jumped out turned out to be Taishi Ci who had been away for a long time!
"Ziyi, you came back too soon."
Taishi Ci grinned and waved his hands: "Of course, be quick. I have told the boys on the boat in advance that your instructions must be sent to me as soon as possible, otherwise they will look good! No, yours
As soon as the news arrived, I came back immediately. Now that the wind direction and sea currents are clear, doesn't this journey only take a few days?"
As he spoke, he sighed: "If I had known that my lord was going to ride south and fight for thousands of miles, I wouldn't have gone to sea."
Zhao Yun asked curiously: "Brother, didn't you fight a lot in Sanhan? I heard that every battle is to win more with less. After so many battles, are you still not satisfied?"
"Hey, don't mention this." Tai Shici looked very annoyed: "Before going to sea, my lord said it was not serious. I thought it would be very dangerous. But along the way, there were maps, compasses, and good navigation skills.
The ship. In addition, the three Koreas were also very close, so the journey was not as easy as usual. Before the impassioned atmosphere of seeing off Chengshan had passed, the ship had docked..."
Tai Shici had been holding these complaints for almost a year, and finally had a chance to vent his frustrations.
"After landing, I and Gong Tian's men split up into two groups. He continued to go south along the route on the chart, and I first found a place to build a port in Ziyi Bay. When the two men left, it seemed as if heaven and earth were separated forever.
As if, he repeatedly told me to be patient, not to rashly conflict with the locals, and wait until the fleet returns and backup arrives. What will be the result?"
"A certain person found a deserted place to build a port. After more than ten days, a tribe with a thousand people came to the door and said that this piece of land belonged to them. They thought they were hiding secretly, but in fact, the scouts had already discovered that they were there.
We were nearby, so I thought they had spotted us, so they kept quiet because they wanted to wait for backup. After actually contacting us, we found out that they were interested in the simple port and wooden house we built..."
Taishi smiled and said: "I have to say that these barbarians are quite knowledgeable, better than the so-called celebrities in Jizhou. They know what good things are."
Encountering a large number of enemies in a foreign land, the atmosphere should be very solemn, but everyone already knew the result, and Taishi Ci's tone was also very interesting. Everyone laughed after hearing this.
The wooden houses in Gaotang have become a symbol of the miracle of Gaotang. From a refugee camp to a metropolis that everyone yearns for, this transformation contains the pride of everyone in Qingzhou.
"It's easy to figure out that they are here to rob. If you fight them, won't they be honest? Don't tell me the result. I don't blame them for daring to rob. They do have a few brushes. That battle is
Two hundred versus six hundred, the opponent's general, which can also be said to be the village chief, is hiding far behind. There is no strategy at all, it's just a head-on confrontation..."
Taishi Ci was not considered a foolhardy person, but he was a violent person at heart. His enemies were only 600 and they were not regular troops, so it was impossible for him to use any tactics against them. In fact, he charged into the battle alone, wielding his spear and halberd casually.
After a few blows, he knocked down more than a dozen people on the opposite side. The opponent's fighting strength was extremely weak.
"When the brothers rushed up and two or three of them met, the barbarian was cut down by more than a hundred people. Do you know the result? The battle was like this, and they refused to retreat!" I don't know if he held it in for too long, but Wang Yu
I feel that Taishi Ci's eloquence has also improved a lot. Under his exaggeration, a small-scale battle with a huge disparity between strengths and weaknesses actually feels a bit suspenseful.
"Is this surprising? How could such a weak soldier have such a strong will to fight?" Zhang Liao was not a talkative person, but he couldn't stand Tai Shi Ci's talk. In surprise, he couldn't help but interjected and asked.
After asking, he found that everyone looked at him with a hint of joking. He was slightly shocked and wondered if he had said the wrong thing. Before he could figure it out, Tai Shici had already slapped him in the face.
He put it on his shoulder and said with a smile: "This brother has a good question. In fact, it is very simple. They are not strong in fighting will, but they are frightened. Haha, you didn't expect it, right?"
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then it dawned on him, no wonder no one answered just now. It turned out that everyone knew the temper of the speaker. The clap was really strong. No wonder this man was fighting against the mighty hussars.
Zhongdu is known as the number one fierce general - Zhao Yun may have better martial arts skills, but due to his personality, he lacks a bit of domineering. He really has to be this person to kill generals, seize the flag, and boost morale.
"The first battle was fought and hundreds of prisoners were captured. The rest was even easier... The so-called Three Koreas did not have a court at all. They were the same thing as the tribes on the grassland. Before the backup arrived, a certain number of people fought successively
After more than ten battles, dozens of tribes were wiped out, but my brothers were unscathed. Those people didn't even prepare wooden sticks. It's not surprising that we defeated them, but it's really strange that we lost."
"Later, Ma Han's royal tent was alarmed. The Han chief gathered dozens of tribes and fought together. This time, he was much stronger. Not only were there wooden sticks and bamboo poles, but there were also many armed with swords, guns, and even armor. If one
When we met them at the beginning, I had no choice but to run away, but at that time we were already prepared, we found hundreds of horses, and 200 people became cavalry."
There is no suspense later. Although King Ma Han also had some cavalry, their cavalry were soldiers on horses, and they were incomparable to the cavalry led by Tai Shici.
After paying a small price to kill all the Mahan cavalry, Taishi Ci bypassed the elite of the king's tent and rode directly into the conflict with the miscellaneous soldiers on both sides. The bead curtain was rolled back, and the defeated soldiers rushed into the enemy's formation. This was a classic tactic for cavalry to defeat infantry.
.
King Mahan was lording it over the corner of the peninsula. Where have you seen this? Before he could launch a siege, the battle line collapsed. The defeated troops rushed like wolves and wolves, rushing his central army to pieces.
It was a complete mess, because the response was too slow, and in the end even others were involved in the rout, and were trampled to pieces by the rebel army.
Taishi Ci took Zhao Yun's hand and exclaimed: "For this kind of thing, let alone two hundred versus thirty thousand, let's fight against three hundred thousand? What's so surprising about winning? How can it be compared to you and Chang?
Ah, all the opponents I met were equally matched, even a idiot like Cao Bao is not without merit, he is much stronger than me."
Being disturbed by Taishi Ci, the atmosphere of the welcome ceremony became more relaxed and casual. After everyone saluted Wang Yu, they each started talking to their familiar colleagues, which made Zhang Liao puzzled for a while.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci are sworn brothers, and they haven't seen each other for almost a year. It's understandable that they are so close to each other. The same is true for Wei Yan and Zhuge Liang, but what about these people who have been working together in Gaotang City?
?
Wang Xiu and Guo Yuan were chatting cordially, feeling a bit like meeting old friends in a foreign land; Jia Xu and Tian Feng were discussing something enthusiastically, as if they hadn't spoken to each other for a long time; the most outrageous thing was the three brothers and sisters of the Mi family.
We are obviously a family, but we just happened to get together at this time to talk.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Liao didn't care to avoid suspicion and listened closely, only to find that no one was talking about business.
Wang Xiu and Guoyuan were discussing fashion, where the wine was authentic, and where the teahouse had new storytelling or plays, and they met to have a drink in a new restaurant another day; Jia Xu and Tian Feng's topic was more serious.
discuss
The discussion was about rising prices, but they were not discussing it from a public perspective, but were discussing the relationship between official salaries and prices. In short, these two were complaining, complaining that the salary given by Wang Yu was too small.
Too much work.
As for the three people in the Mi family, basically the elder brother told the younger brother to drink less and work more, the younger sister told the younger brother to put on more clothes because it was cold, and the older brother told the younger sister to be careful in the yamen, not to work too much, and to take good care of the body.
And so on.
This is the Cavalry General Shogunate who is famous for his efficiency and good at creating miracles? Zhang Liao was surprised. No matter how he looked at it, he could not see that these officials had the spirit of the ancient sages who worked hard day and night.
He couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply asked Zhao Yun again to inquire.
"Brother Yuan asked about this. My lord has always emphasized that it is normal not to discuss private matters during working hours and not to discuss official matters during private time. Moreover, you don't often work together. Although you are in the same city, you don't meet each other.
many."
Zhao Yun showed a nostalgic look in his eyes and said with emotion: "In the past, my lord was in Gaotang, and everyone would gather often. Anyway, my lord would always call us together, and there was no need for others to help. However, during this time, my lord is not around, and everyone is busy with official duties, so there are fewer gatherings."
Bar?"
"Don't we work together?" Zhang Liao never missed any opportunity to enhance understanding.
Zhao Yun explained patiently: "It's like this. The General's Office in the inner city is mainly the Military Intelligence Department, which is in charge of military affairs. Each department under it is responsible for different affairs. There is not much overlap between them, so they are divided according to their respective functions.
It is convenient to set up government offices in urban areas. For example, the Department of Commerce is in Chaoyang Street, which is the commercial street we passed by, and the Department of Agriculture is in... Because the city is too big, after leaving the government offices, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and there is less movement. "
"So that's it..." Zhang Liao was dumbfounded when he heard this. The world is so big and full of wonders, and there are so many strange things in Qingzhou. Is this the secret of Qingzhou's strong army and efficient government affairs?
