The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 687
The water and the sky are wide, hate the east wind, and spare no effort for the worldly things.In the afterglow of Shu birds and Wu flowers, I can't bear to see the ruined walls of the deserted city.Bronze sparrows are in love in spring, and golden men are crying in autumn. Who should rely on this hatred?The majestic sword spirit, the bullfighting space recognizes the extraordinary.

……

A few days later, Bai Fu came to Zuojin Wuwei's official residence to take up his post after finishing the party like a battle of wheels.

Different from the well-dressed Jinwu Guards in Bai Fu's impression, the Jinwu Guards after the An Lushan Rebellion had old armor, broken weapons, and lifeless soldiers.

The Jinwu Guard patrols the palace and the capital day and night, and has a heavy responsibility.How can such an army take on such a heavy responsibility?

Bai Fu's new official took office three fires, and immediately moved to reform Zuo Jinwuwei.

Just when Bai Fu was dissatisfied with the Jinwu Guard, he unexpectedly found an old acquaintance in the queue - General Zhangchou.This person's real name is Zhang Qiuqiongyu, but he is the nephew of Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, the former Jiannan Jiedu envoy.

On the night of the New Year's Eve that year, Li Musheng "fished in the sea of ​​lights" and raped Yang Yichan, but was smashed by Bai Fu.Li Musheng became furious and ordered Jin Wuwei to go to the Bashu Guild Hall to arrest Bai Fu.

The general Jinwuwei who patrolled that night was this General Zhangchou!This person is well-versed in the world, and Huang Zhen communicated with Huang Zhen secretly, and he was obedient and contradictory, and he delayed until Xu Taifu came, and finally protected Bai Fu.

Bai Fu walked up to Zhangchou Qiongyu, said with a smile: "General Zhangchou, do you still recognize me?"

Zhang Chouqiong smiled slyly and said: "General Bai is famous all over the world, and everyone in the Jinwu Guard knows him."

Bai Fuxin said: "This Zhangchou is indeed an old Jianghu, and he acts tactfully. Back then, when he first came to Chang'an, he had no power and power, and was bullied by others.

Although Zhangchou Qiongyu is kind to himself, he has an insight into human nature: not everyone is willing to recall themselves when they were down and down.

If they recognize each other hastily, they might be in trouble.

Pretending not to know each other is the best choice: if you miss the past and don't mention the past, it will be even more unrequited; if you don't want to mention the past, pretend that you don't know each other, and you won't be embarrassed to work together in the future. "

Thinking of this, Bai Fu smiled and continued to inspect Zuo Jinwuwei's residence without answering.

……

Huang Zhen has been the shopkeeper for many years, and has dealt with all the three religions and nine streams in Chang'an.

In the evening, Bai Fu asked Huang Zhen to come forward and invited Zhang Qiuqiongyu to come to the Bashu Guild Hall as a guest.

Zhangchou Qiongyu happily went.

Zhangchou Qiongyu had already changed his armor, wearing a Futou on his head, a jade pendant around his waist, a green robe with wide sleeves and a round neck, and dressed as a scribe.In his middle age, he has a big belly, puffy bags under his eyes, and looks a little greasy.

Seeing Bai Fu, Zhang Qiuqiongyu hastily bowed to the end.

Bai Fu smiled and said: "General Zhangchou, hurry up and excuse me. Speaking of which, we have known each other since we were young, and thanks to your help, I was saved from being in prison."

Zhang Qiuqiongyu hurriedly waved his hand, and said humbly: "General Bai is an auspicious person, and for such a small role as a subordinate official, one more is not too much, and one less is not much. It is a great honor for the last general to get to know the general."

The three sat down and drank a toast.

Recalling the past, the three of them sighed.

Li Linfu, who had power all over the world, was slaughtered by Xuanzong, and Li Musheng and other dudes were exiled to the Western Regions, traveling thousands of miles, and their life and death were unknown.

Zhangchou Jianqiong, the uncle of the poor and foolish family, was once the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, governing the land of Shu, with many benevolent policies and outstanding achievements.The people in Shu area always cherish his kindness.

However, because Zhangchou Jianqiong recommended Yang Guozhong and attached himself to Concubine Yang during his lifetime, the members of Zhangchou's clan suffered from unsuccessful official careers and were repeatedly demoted during Suzong's reign.

Zhang Chouqiongyu's official career has been ups and downs for several years, and he is still a small Guoyi captain of the Jinwu Guard.

……

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Bai Fu asked Zhang Qiuqiongyu how to clean up the Jinwu Guard.

From Bai Fu's point of view, he is quite experienced in running the army and has a plan in his mind.Still, it's always good to know more about the situation.There is no turning back when you open the bow. Once you start to rule the army, try not to repeat it.

Zhangchou Qiongyu had a few drinks, he relaxed, and the chatterbox opened: "When it comes to the Jinwu Guard, the last general dares to speak out. The Jinwu Guard is different from the Anxi Army. The understanding of various industries in the workshop, and the balance and grasp of the forces of all parties."

Bai Fu listened respectfully and said, "Would you like to hear the details?"

Zhang Chou took a sip of his wine poorly and said, "Chang'an is the largest city in the world, vast and vast, with a total of 25 squares and [-] streets.

The terrain in the city is intricate, the canals for water transportation are vertical and horizontal, and the winding alleys in the workshops are deep and deep.The various squares intersect with each other by land and waterways, forming a network; the city towers and turrets echo each other, and there is a sandwich wall between the city walls, which is convenient for the passage of the emperor's relatives and the imperial cavalry.

Poisoning along the canal, setting fire to the square, stealing in the dark, gathering crowds to prophesy... can cause big troubles.

Therefore, the control of Chang'an City is also the strictest: for overall planning, there are Jingzhaofu and Jingzhaoyin; for specific implementation, there are county captains in Chang'an and Wannian counties; The Fenghou of Wangwang Tower and the military guards of the street shop; arresting thieves, there are not only the six-door arresters, but also bad handsome and bad people; guarding the palace gates, there are guards; Defensive, heavily guarded.

Although the Jinwu Guard is responsible for day and night patrols and vigilance, its main function is to use the horses to patrol and deter bandits.

The Jinwu Guard can ride on any street, including the imperial road on Zhuque Street.Once an abnormal situation occurs, it can provide immediate support. "

Huang Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does General Zhangchou mean?"

Zhang Chouqiong smiled foolishly and said, "In the capital, the forces of various armies are balanced.

There are sixteen guards in the Nanya, the left and right guards are in charge of guarding the gates, and the left and right Qianniu guards are in charge of guarding the emperor.the remaining

The twelve guards (left and right guards; left and right guards; left and right guards; left and right guards; left and right guards; left and right leading guards; left and right Jinwu guards) lead the Zhechong Mansion (Military Mansion) in the world, and are also responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city.

The six armies of Beiya (left and right Shenwu Army, left and right Habayashi Army, left and right Longwu Army) guarded Miyagi.

The ten rates of the East Palace (the left and right guard rate; the left and right guard rate; the left and right clearing rate; the left and right prison gate rate and the left and right internal rate), the first six rates govern the military mansion, and the last four rates are responsible for the guards of the East Palace and the guards for the prince.

Inside and outside the city of Chang'an, all armies check and balance each other.

If the Zuo Jinwu Guard suddenly rises up and surpasses other armies in combat power, even if General Bai is dedicated to serving the public, he will still be suspicious, be seized by others, and framed by others.

At that time, the general will not be able to argue with a hundred words, and he will be wronged out of thin air. "

Bai Fu's pupils tightened suddenly, and only then did he realize the problem.

Zhang Qiuqiong saw that Bai Fu was being educated with humility, and finally said the last sentence: "The Holy Majesty's promotion of you as the General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard may be just to raise the rank of the general, and it does not mean to strengthen the strength of the Zuo Jinwu Guard. Superfluous."

Bai Fuxin said: "The true meaning of Zhangchou Qiongyu's words is: Maybe His Majesty is also testing you, to see if you have any second thoughts."

Bai Fu felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered.

Bai Fu stood up, bowed deeply to Zhang Qiuqiongyu, and said: "Fortunately, the general taught me that Bai almost made a big mistake."

　The water and the sky are wide, hate the east wind, and spare no effort for the worldly things.In the afterglow of Shu birds and Wu flowers, I can't bear to see the ruined walls of the deserted city.Bronze sparrows are in love in spring, and golden men are crying in autumn. Who should rely on this hatred?The majestic sword spirit, the bullfighting space recognizes the extraordinary.

　　For the rest of his life on the rivers and seas, Naxin traveled thousands of miles to the south, and all boats were sent together.I am keeping my eyes drunk for the Ollie League, watching the waves come and go.Look at the pillars and swallow the wins, return to the flag and walk away, rushing to the crown through the ages.With no sleep, Qinhuai should be a lonely moon.
