Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 855 Grace and Power

Zhu Zhen galloped overnight and arrived the next day.

When approaching Bianzhou, he was stopped by Rangers.

Li Shaorong, the tenth general of the Iron Cavalry Army, stepped forward and asked, "Taiwei Zhu?"

He politely talked about Zhu Zhen's official position, but he didn't dismount, obviously he didn't take Zhu Zhen seriously.

The soldiers around Zhu Zhen glared at him.

Li Shaorong still sat firmly on the horse, not moving.

There were dozens of riders around, and everyone stared at Zhu Zhen and his party with gazing eyes.They are all guys who are afraid of chaos in the world, and the last thing they are afraid of is fighting with others.

"Exactly." Zhu Zhen remained calm and asked the soldiers to hand over the seal letter to tell her.

Li Shaorong looked it over carefully, handed it back, and said: "Front in Bianzhou, the surrounding fields are restless. I checked carefully. The Taiwei forgive me."

After all, he waved his hand and let them go.

Zhu Zhen took her leave and left, watching the cavalry carefully out of the corner of her eyes.Shrewd and capable, with superb riding skills, he is a very clever ranger.

The Central Plains has always admired the charge cavalry, but rangers are also indispensable. Shao Shude's cavalry is really rich in types.

After approaching the city gate, a group of people dismounted far away.

In the east of the city, there are two city gates, Cao and Song, leading to Caozhou and Songzhou respectively.Zhu Zhen came from Caozhou, and naturally entered the city through Caomen.

Xia Bing had been replaced at the gate of the city. Judging by their attire, they should not be serious soldiers.

Many people don't have uniform uniforms, they wear all kinds of clothes, and they look like local peasants.But the number of armor is quite large, and it is far more than the average countryman,
This is the elite of the militia?

Zhu Zhen thought of the guards who had heard about it. They were called Buqu in the Han area, and they were called Nubu in the grasslands. In fact, they all mean the same thing, that is, serfs.

The private part is tied to the clan, and the slave part is tied to the chief. Shao Shude's play is really fancy.

I heard that when Xiangzhen was attacked, Xiang and Fang were selected to join the slave tribe, and Henan Prefecture was selected to join the slave tribe, plus the conquered prairie tribesman, this is really easy to walk and ride, and the fighting methods are diverse.

Zhu Zhen deliberately looked twice, but was stared back, and someone came to check the announcement.

"Unlucky!" He sighed secretly, and asked someone to take out something for inspection.

A dignified school inspector Taiwei, with 10 soldiers and [-] people in Caozhou, was treated like an inferior person.

But he endured it.

The guards were still a little unruly, and almost quarreled with the guards, probably because of their bad attitude.One of them spoke a Henan accent, and was despised by Zhu Zhen's soldiers: Zhang Quanyi's former troops, who were captured by King Xia in the second year of Dashun, are now acting like dogs, and they can't bear it.

Zhu Zhen scolded, and the soldiers were honest.

It's not that they can't recognize the situation clearly, they are really domineering and used to it, and it's hard to change their demeanor for a while.

"Let's go." After the inspection, Zhu Zhen and others handed over the horses and put them in the sheep-horse wall, while the others entered the city on foot.

The bloodstains and corpses on the street have been cleaned up long ago, and there is no sign of a big war at all.

Zhu Zhen even wondered whether the army fought hard that night when the city was broken?
Announcements of Anmin are posted all over the streets, the core is to ensure that everyone lives in peace, King Xia will not turn over old accounts, will not retaliate, don't worry.

There are more people on the street.The shops are fully open. I don't know if they are forced to open or if there is real business.

Encountered a wave of sergeants on the way to the inner city.

They didn't carry weapons, but they looked extremely capable. Even if they fought with bare hands, they wouldn't be too bad.

This is an old martial artist!

Zhu Zhen stopped with great interest and watched these old warriors selling wine in the wine shop.

I saw them quarreling with the shopkeeper, probably because they thought the wine was watered down.When the quarrel got intense, the leader raised his big fist, but he didn't fight for a long time.

The shopkeeper was also taken aback, and immediately replaced them with unwatered wine.After the sale, the warriors threw a piece of miscellaneous silk and left satisfied.

This piece of miscellaneous silk is worth about three or four hundred yuan, so there should be some surplus.But the warriors were used to being extravagant, so they didn't care, and just left.

No money?If you have no money, you will try your best to get the reward. If you get lucky and kill the thief officer, you may be able to become an official.Before the warriors got married, they didn't think about money at all.

When they entered the inner city, they went through another inspection, and they were still the same group of guards.

This time it was time to hand over the weapons, which was actually very unreasonable, and the soldiers were furious.

"Take it!" Zhu Zhen untied the saber herself, and handed it to Murong Fu who was standing in front of the door.

When the soldiers saw it, they were unhappy and handed it over.

Shao Shude was in the mansion right now, and nodded slightly after hearing the report from the soldiers.

Generally speaking, handing in weapons before entering the mansion is a test of obedience and a way to suppress your arrogance. Although Zhu Zhen is willing to come in person, she has no arrogance to speak of.

"Don't avoid it, stay here!" Shao Shude grabbed Zhang Hui and let her sit next to him.

Zhang Hui was very clever, and quickly guessed the intention, and sat there quietly.

"See King Xia!" After some inspections, Zhu Zhen entered the middle hall under Ye Li Kecheng's guidance, while all the guards stayed in the front yard.

After saluting, Zhu Zhen glanced at Zhang Hui, sighed, and saluted, "How is the princess?"

He omitted the word "Liang", and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the middle hall stood more than [-] soldiers, wearing helmets and armour, holding sharp knives, all staring at Zhu Zhen.

"Taiwei is well." Zhang Hui got up and saluted, then sat down again.I don't know if it was an illusion, but she was a little bit far away from Shao Shude, which shows that she still has a sense of shame in her heart.

Zhu Zhen secretly sighed in her heart, I am afraid that today's test will be difficult.

Since entering the city, she has been disowning her authority, and now that Concubine Liang is still sitting there, she might have already become Shao Shude's taboo.This attitude clearly shows Shao Shude's desire to conquer and control, he will not let himself go easily.

"It has long been heard that the Taiwei is good at training soldiers." Shao Shude said: "The two armies of Yameni and Tujiang are elite soldiers from Liang..."

Having said that, Shao Shude paused for a moment, and looked at Zhu Zhen's face.

Zhu Zhen was expressionless.

"When will the second army come to Bianzhou? Let me see." Shao Shude asked.

"The two armies of Ya Nei and General Tu are the defeated generals under the king's command. How dare you say that you are brave? I'm afraid they won't be able to get into the eyes of the king." Zhu Zhen said.

"When will it be delivered?" Shao Shude asked forcefully.

The hairs on Zhu Zhen's body stood on end in an instant, as if he smelled a whiff of death.

"The sinner ordered the Second Army to advance to Bianzhou." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to grit her teeth secretly.

"There are 2 soldiers in the Pingsheng and Pingri armies, which is actually a bit more." Shao Shude said: "You can be the commander of the Pengsheng army yourself, and I will send Dai Siyuan and Li Renhan as the chief and deputy commanders of the Pengjap army."

Dai Siyuan descended relatively early. During this period of observation, he was found to be a pure worker, and his loyalty to Zhu Quanzhong was just that.

Li Renhan was originally a former general of Dinghui, and this time he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Japanese army.

By the way, Ding Hui has just received a big gift package: Zhu Quanzhong's two concubines.

Zhu Quanzhong had more than 50 concubines. Shao Shude only had eyes for four concubines: Zhang Hui, Shi Shi, Chen Shi, and Li Shi. The rest were slowly being rewarded, mainly to General Liang who had his family slaughtered because he surrendered. Some warriors who fought bravely were also rewarded.

Zhu Quanzhong's woman is the highest level of reward for the soldiers who participated in the siege of Bianzhou.

After hearing this, many people stumbled and regretted, hating themselves for being a little slow in charging and not being able to get Maggie.Then find a way to inquire with many parties to see if anyone is willing to sell it to him, and he is willing to spend any money.

At the same time, I swore secretly that I must rush faster next time, some things are hard to come by, and you have to fight with your life.And Zhu Quanzhong's concubine Ji is worth fighting for her life.

"My lord, where are the Japanese troops heading?" Zhu Zhen asked numbly.

"First transfer to Bianzhou for training." Shao Shude said: "The two armies of holding the sun and holding the saints are still short. , Join the Dragon and Tiger Army."

The Dragon and Tiger Army is actually Liu Zhijun's department. It used to have tens of thousands of people, but now there are more than 8000.Shao Shude bestowed the military title "Dragon Tiger" and was assigned to the camp in Puzhou.

After Guangsheng's three armies passed by, they were also under the command of the Puzhou battalion.

Guangsheng, Longxiang, Shenjie, Longhu, and Pengsheng have a total of five miscellaneous armies, with less than 5 people, mainly infantry, and a total of only a thousand cavalry.

Among these soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Guangsheng Army is relatively better. After all, the officers are all veterans of the Xuanwu Ya Army, and many of them are elites of the Changzhi Army.Later, the remnants of the Poxia Army and Luoyan Du were incorporated. They have been in the army for a long time and have fought some battles, so they can be used.

The strength of the Dragon Tiger Army is also so-so.Liu Zhijun has been in Lei Ze, Puzhou all year round, fighting with soldiers and horses in Yun and Yaner towns. He has rich combat experience. Liu Zhijun is also good at fighting, and his combat effectiveness may be stronger than that of Guangsheng's three armies.

In addition, there are a total of 3000 soldiers from the county soldiers of Puzhou and He Gui's troops.Later, the minzhuang who participated in the battle in the city were also incorporated into the army, making up 5000 people.

Shao Shude gave the military title "Tianxing", and Shao Lun and He Gui served as the chief and deputy military envoys, and were attached to the Puzhou camp.

This time, he planned to drive these miscellaneous troops eastward.If you lose, you will get rid of internal troubles, if you win, you will get rid of troubles. No matter what you do, you will not lose.The three armies of Tielin, Wuwei, and Feilong act as the magic needle of Dinghai. On the one hand, they supervise the battle, and on the other hand, they act as the winner and new force at the critical moment, defeating the bandit army in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty wants to attack Yunzhou?" Zhu Zhen asked after hearing Shao Shude's words.

"Yun, Yan, Qing, Xu four towns, I will take them." Shao Shude said.

"The final general is willing to serve the king." Zhu Zhen glanced at Shao Shude quietly, and asked, "May I ask when to send troops?"

"The Taiwei's mother still lives in the city. A few days ago, the army was in turmoil. The King of Xia sent Xiaorui, the Tianxiong Army, to stand guard in front of the gate. The old lady was not attacked by the rebellion, but she missed her son very much." Zhang Hui suddenly said: "Mr. If Wei has time, he might as well go home and stay for a few days, so as to relieve the pain of missing the old lady."

Shao Shude glanced at Zhang Hui approvingly.

"It's time to go home and have a look." Zhu Zhen didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately responded with a smile.

The [-] people in Caozhou were dealt with without bloodshed.

This is the bonus of the Xuzhou War, which has continued to this day.Afterwards, you have to gnaw at the tough bones of Yun, Yan, and Qing.

　After counting, I still owe four chapters, and I will pay it back slowly in the near future.
