Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 36 Li Shao
On February 26, the sixth year of Qianfu, Heheguan was sunny.

Although Hehejin had been ceded to the Zhejia army who went ashore, Heheguanshang closely watched the ferry's movements all night yesterday.When Shao Shude got up in the middle of the night to inspect, he also went up to the city tower to have a look, but he saw that the lights on the ferry were brightly lit, all night long.The Zhe family army has been crossing the river all night, does Nima want to fight like this?Not afraid of suddenly falling into the river and drowning?

Early this morning, the flag of "Linzhou Tuan Lian Envoy" has been erected on the Hehejin side. It seems that Zhe Silun has already crossed the river and rested at the ferry last night.Shao Shude sacrificed his newly acquired skills, counted the number of soldiers in the family, and judged that there were about [-] sergeants and about [-] horses.At this time, they are still crossing the river, and they don't know how many people will eventually go ashore.

Chen Shi, "Big Uncle" - ah bah, Zhe Silun, the trainer of the Linzhou regiment, came to Guancheng with his personal soldiers and asked to see Qiu Weidao.At this time, the closed door was already wide open, and the brigade of soldiers lined up inside.Shao Shude deliberately adjusted it. The soldiers on the outside were tall and long, and their iron armor and lances looked very bluffing.

Zhe Silun is not very old, he should be in his thirties.With a burly stature, a clear face, and a determined expression, he was riding a big yellow horse and casually glanced at the soldiers of the Tiande Army who were lined up in the doorway.

"The armor is clear, standing like a wall, with a sharp blade in his hand, and his face is wary. Haha, it's really a big scene." Zhe Silun commented on the Tiande soldiers who "welcome" him, and teased: "I just didn't know it was on. What is the array like?"

"If you have done one, you will know how powerful the grandfathers are!" Lu Huaizhong, who was fully armed, couldn't help but provoke Zhe Silun's arrogant appearance.

Zhe Silun laughed and ignored Lu Huaizhong, but he also gained a new understanding of the morale of the Tiande army.No wonder he was able to defeat Xue Zhiqin's thousands of troops. He did have the courage to fight and fight well.

"Qiu Shijun, Zhe Silun, the last commander of the Linzhou regiment, went to Hedong to quell the thieves and pacify the chaos. I didn't intend to meet here, but you want to welcome Li Guanjian to return to Lanzhou?" Zhe Silun turned over and said After throwing the reins to the personal soldiers, he stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"General Zhe, the situation in Hedong is difficult to describe in a single word. It can be said that I am overjoyed to have the general's help today." Qiu Weidao bowed back and said, "I just don't know, where does General Zhe want to go next?"

"It's natural to go to pacify the Lanshi Rebellion." Zhesi Ethics said of course.

Qiu Weidao was shocked when he heard the words.In his opinion, the Chaolan rebels were scattered everywhere, looting the villages, and had lost the most basic organization and morale as an army.Now that two top ten generals have been promoted, and there is still a split within the Tiande army, there are thousands of people in the Tiande army, and it is not difficult to pacify.This was originally a credit for Bai picking up, but as a result, someone came over and wanted to intervene?What did Zhe Jiajun do? He didn't come sooner or later, but at this time, he came to pick up the bargain, which made people uncomfortable.

However, after thinking about it in my heart, I still have to show a face on the face: "It is a blessing for the people of Lan and Shi to have the help of General Zhe. The envoy wants to go to Hehe County to meet Li Jianhua, and General Zhe wants to go with him?"

"Alright." Zhe Silun nodded and said, "But you're leaving now?"

"Naturally." Qiu Weidao replied, and then instructed Shao Shude: "Lieutenant General Shao, assemble the sergeants, escort the car, and leave now."

"As ordered!" Shao Shude saluted, then turned around and arranged to go.

Zhe Silun glanced at this low-level junior officer, and he still praised his ability to govern the army. If nothing else, his morale was very high.It seems that he has also been in battle, and has seen blood. Not bad, not worse than the Xiazhou soldiers he used to see. Of course, there is still some distance from the Zhe family army, at least Zhe Silun thinks so.

Hehe County is 35 miles south of Hehe Pass, not too far.If you hurry up today, you should be able to cross the Weifen River and arrive at the county seat before nightfall.Zhe Silun arranged for the troops to pick up the remaining troops in Hehejin, and he took more than a thousand people who had crossed the river and went to the county town with Qiu Weidao's subordinates.

When Shen Shi, the brigade had just crossed the Weifen River, and there was a scout from Hehe County. After asking about the situation, he almost cried with joy.There are only a few hundred soldiers in their county, and they are all second-rate troops with poor combat effectiveness. Facing the well-deserved main force of Lanzhou, the Lanzhou army, they are afraid in the bottom of their hearts, for fear that they will attack.Well now, the Tiande army and the Linzhou army are coming one after another, and the Lan and Shi soldiers will be in chaos.

Li Shao, who was terrified in Hehe County, was also overjoyed when he heard the report of the detective rider. He went to the ferry to meet him, and then took the hands of Qiu Weidao and Zhe Silun and returned to the county yazhijiu together.

"Qiu Jianjun, this observation is not very interesting. Commander Cui has given me a heavy responsibility to control the troops in Lan and Shi, prepare equipment, food and grass, and block the thieves' way to the south. I don't care about the chaos of the Qulan army, Jia Jing Si was killed, the reward could not be balanced, and the envoy ran away in embarrassment. The court relies on them to fight the rebels. It can be said that they are seeking fish. Oh, let's not talk about it, drink! Anyway, I have been ugly today, so I will return to Jinyang to take the blame another day, and let the recruiter choose another talented person. "

"Why should Li Watch be so discouraged. No one thought of the chaos in Lanzhou. What kind of big event is this? When you return to Jinyang, there will be a chance to change your mood. Don't worry." Qiu Weidao persuaded him.Because Zhe Silun and the digital observation envoys were at the table, he could not elaborate on some things.This Li Shao's roots in Jinyang are not shallow, not only to climb up Cui Jikang, there may be many other unknown relationships, Qiu Weidao is not very clear.

As a military general, Zhe Silun was a little embarrassed to hear it.Civilians and supervisors complain about the chaos, what can he say?Might as well drink in silence.

"And today, since the German army has gone south, it is not a problem to quell the rebel army. But I dare to ask Qiu Jianjun, how will Lan and Shi be law-abiding in the future? Datong rebels are brave and good at fighting. I am afraid that the land of the nine counties in the prefecture will be ruined. Hao Du will have no idea?" Li Shao seemed a little drunk, but his words pointed directly to the core, which made Qiu Weidao have to think carefully.

In fact, he has been thinking about his own future recently.Fengzhou is too small and too poor. He may have thought it was nothing before, but after entering the Hedong boundary, he followed the Tiande army to get some credit, and his mind grew like a weed.Who doesn't want to supervise the big town and the town of Xiong?Who wants to live in a poor and remote town that could be conquered at any time?

Hedong is impossible, his network is not so strong.Qiu Weidao's targets were Zhenwu Army, who had just been killed by the supervisor, and Xia Sui Town, where the supervisor was about to return to Beijing.Originally, the Datong Army seemed to be able to do it, but considering the strong Shatuo forces in the local area, even if Li Guochang and his son were defeated this time, it would inevitably happen again in the future.Zhenwu and Xia Sui are the most suitable, especially the latter.

Of course, his godfather wrote to him recently, saying that the army in Hezhong Town was in chaos last year, and the supervisor was killed.The town governs Hezhongfu (formerly Puzhou), Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Cizhou and Xi (xí) prefectures. It has a large number of household registrations, is relatively wealthy, and has the benefits of Yanchi. It seems that it can also win.

However, Hezhong is a big town. Although it is not as good as Hedong, it is still stronger than Zhenwu and Xia Sui. It is impossible to do great things without making great achievements. This requires the strength of the Tiande army.

Hao Zhenwei and Qiu Weidao believe he is ambitious.Maybe he still wanted to compete for the top position in the history of German defense, but after more than half a year in the past, Qiu Weidao didn't believe that his eyelids were still so shallow, and he was still staring at Fengzhou, a small town with only one state and two counties. Fan.In the surrounding square towns, one counts as one, which one is not stronger than the Tiande army?

At this point, they actually have common interests and can cooperate completely.Hao Zhenwei was in charge of leading good soldiers to fight good battles, while Qiu Jianjun was in charge of drilling the battalion and establishing the relationship between the passing battalion and even the capital. Everyone got what they needed and cooperated happily.

Based on this idea, Li Shao had to hurry up.His position in the camp is not low, and he holds real power. Even if he was killed this time because of the disorderly eating of the Kuilan army, Qiu Weidao judged that it was no big deal, and he could still be active in the camp.

Another point is that he has a good relationship with Cui Jikang. Although Cui Dashuai is about to take the blame for the defeat of Jingle County, as long as he does not leave for one day, he will be recruiting envoys for one day, and he will nod for all kinds of official documents, such as to the imperial court. The document of the victory - the warriors fought hard and bleed their lives, but they can't put all these credits in the water because they didn't get through the joints on the official side!

"Li Zhuan is really smart. What General Hao means is that he wants to eat in Lan and Shi. The Tiande army can fight. With this strong army, Li Guochang and his son will not be able to get any advantage." Qiu Weidao also To be honest, let me tell you all the truth, anyway, as long as you are a normal person, you can guess the idea of ​​Tiande Army, don't you want a stable logistics base.

Zhe Silun raised his brows when he heard this.He is the trainer of the Linzhou regiment, and the soldiers under his command are not strictly the regular army of the imperial court, but the so-called native villagers.But as far as he is concerned, he is quite proud of the fighting power of the Erlangs, and thinks that he is no worse than many traditional armies, such as the shameful Zhelu Army, Kelan Army and so on.

Whether Tiande's army is strong or not, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and he thinks it is a bit level. As for whether it can be comparable to the Zhejia army, he does not think so.However, he is not a child anymore, and in front of everyone at the wine table, he will not refute, but just smile disapprovingly.

A group of people ate half a night of wine, mainly Li, Qiu, and Zhe, and the others were foils.At the time of the turmoil, I don't know how many people can't get enough to eat, but those in high positions can enjoy delicious food casually.

With the help of the Zhe family army, it should not be a problem to pacify the military chaos in the two states of Ding Lan and Shi.But has the situation of the local people improved?Probably not.This shitty world has almost wrapped everyone in the world into it, everyone is struggling, and they can't help themselves.Is it really so difficult to live a peaceful and stable life?
