Chapter 114 Enemy Attack (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of "I want to live for decades")

From the six counties in Chenzhou, five county magistrates came to Lin'an one after another.

When Du Hui entered the prefecture, the good old man Lin Ziyu enthusiastically cupped his hands, "Du Ming's mansion."

"Old Lin!" Du Hui nodded, "Do you know what happened?"

Lin Ziyu's chubby face showed dissatisfaction, "The army is going out, and I am asked to guard the food road in Chenzhou."

This person can't even explain a simple thing... Du Hui concealed his disdain and said in a low voice, "Shouldn't it be about the army?"

Lin Ziyu sighed: "That Xu Guogong left the matter to various places on the grounds of insufficient troops."

Shameless!
The two entered the duty room, and Du Hui looked at it. Five county magistrates from the six counties had arrived, but Yang Xuan hadn't arrived yet.

Liu Qing pressed his hand and everyone sat down.He solemnly said: "You probably already know the matter. The matter of protecting the food road is important. You can't slack off. We are all here today. Let's hand over each other. How to patrol the border between the two counties is up to you. I don't care about it. But But if something goes wrong, it will be dealt with by military law."

Everyone discussed for a while, and then discovered something.

"My lord, Yang Xuan from Taiping County hasn't arrived yet."

The grain road goes through Taiping County, but what about people?

Liu Qing nodded, "Yang Xuan is here, come and call him."

The little official outside the door turned around, but stopped.

Liu Qing had a cold face, and just about to reprimand him, Yang Xuan appeared.

"Meet the envoy."

Yang Xuan came in.

"Sit down and talk." Liu Qing's attitude became better, thinking that this young man has been tossing around for two days, but he doesn't know what it is.Forget it, the young man is thin-skinned, so the old man doesn't ask.

"Master, does that count?" Yang Xuan asked.

what!
Liu Qing said with a cold face, "Of course it counts."

"That's it, fortunately not disgraceful."

Yang Xuan looked at the crowd, thinking that with this group of people testifying, no matter how thick-skinned Liu Qing is, he can't go back on his word.Two hundred sets of armor and three hundred longbows are enough for him to change clothes for the Death Battalion.

Liu Qing was startled, exchanged glances with Lu Qiang, and said in a deep voice, "This is a prefecture, no joke."

"Don't dare." Yang Xuan said: "It can be verified."

The five county magistrates were confused, and saw two small officials come in.

Come in, just come in, these two people looked at Yang Xuan with scorching hot eyes, which made people subconsciously think of the word worship.

Liu Qing leaned back slightly, maintaining Yang Xuan's uncomfortable posture with extra dignity, and said lightly, "What if it's not appropriate?"

Lu Qiang nodded slightly, thinking that it would be a good thing to give the young man a severe beating.As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you can't succeed. If you don't hit young people, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth.

"I will go back without further ado, and I will never come to the state for alms!"

Alms?

Everyone understood, Lin Ziyu smiled and said: "The Shijun is famously fair, who can ask for alms?"

Yang Xuan pointed to the two minor officials, "I would also like to invite you to come up with a question, and the two of them will draft the document in public. If there is any discrepancy, the subordinate will admit defeat."

Liu Qing said indifferently: "So, it just so happens that there is something to do today, so I drafted an official document on the subject of the prefectural decree and the county's proper protection of grain roads."

A small official stood up.

Open up.

"There are..."

At first, everyone just listened casually, but gradually, they all sat up straight.

After finishing the drafting, the little official bowed his hands and retreated.

Very quiet in the lobby.

Liu Qing's eyelids twitched, "The Ministry of Household Affairs issued a document to order all localities to report this year's harvest. My Chenzhou's harvest this year is a little less than last year's, so I drafted an official report."

Another clerk stepped forward and spoke...

Surprise appeared in Liu Qing's eyes, and then disappeared.

"The Ministry of Officials examines the officials of Chenzhou."

"People in Xuanzhou and Chenzhou are fighting for land."

"..."

Six consecutive questions.

The two little officials took turns to go into battle.

Of course, they would think and pause, and there were some mistakes and omissions in the official document they had just drafted.Whenever they make mistakes, they will look down at the paper in their hands, and then chant smoothly.

When it came to the sixth question, the petty official was already able to draft official documents freely.

Liu Qing waved his hands and stared at Yang Xuan with burning eyes, "Most of the officials in my Chenzhou are frustrated, and the small officials are even more likely to make up the numbers."

A few petty officials looked distorted, but they couldn't argue... They couldn't draft the official documents well, so they were not qualified to argue.

"Is it possible to generalize this method?" Lu Qiang asked the question in his heart for him.

Yang Xuan nodded, "Simple."

Liu Qing's eyes burst into splendor, "Simple?"

"It's only two days." Yang Xuan pointed to the two junior officials, "These two can be my master's teacher."

This matter is really not complicated, he recited various official documents to Suzaku, and Suzaku immediately summed up some routines.It's really not complicated!
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, "Your envoy..."

Liu Qing looked at the two little officials, "Is that so?"

"Yes." A small official said: "Professor Yang Mingfu's method can be called a sharp weapon for official documents, and all troubles can be easily solved."

"Your envoy!" Yang Xuan felt that Lao Liu might play tricks, "Our agreement..."

"A gentleman's words..."

Everyone looked at them, confused.

Liu Qing clapped the case and said, "Come here."

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Qing ordered: "Give Taiping two hundred armors, three hundred longbows, as many arrows..."

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Ambassador."

Liu Qing stroked his beard, "You young man has such a good idea but didn't say it earlier, which shows that you are not kind. If you come up with a better idea in the future, just talk about it, and the old man will reward you for his merits, hahahaha!"

What the hell!When did your envoy treat me so kindly?The five county magistrates all stared at Liu Qing.

"Master, I need weapons when I go back to Long County!"

"My lord, you can't treat one more favorably than another."

"My lord..."

Liu Qing clapped the case, and said coldly: "Most of the petty officials in Chenzhou are clumsy, and they frequently make mistakes in the drafting of official documents. Chang'an scolded them many times for this. If you can solve it later, if you have weapons, even if you don't have them, the old man put his arm The leg is broken, it can be used as a weapon for you. But have you solved it yet?"

Lu Qiang smiled and said: "In the future, this method can be taught to small officials everywhere. After that, you don't need to worry about official documents."

These words imply: you have to thank Yang Xuan for waiting.

Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "It's a fluke."

The eyes of the five county magistrates almost burst into flames, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred!
Two hundred sets of armor, three hundred longbows... These weapons can equip an elite army, who wouldn't be envious?
……

When these weapons arrived in Taiping, the whole county was boiling.

"How did Lang Jun get it?" Everyone was puzzled.

"It's easy for you to talk."

Everyone: "..."

Liu Qing is notoriously difficult to speak.

"Hurry up and get equipped." Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "The army is attacking, and the grain road is the first. There is a grain road that passes through Taiping..."

Nan He was puzzled, "Isn't that the army guard?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Give it to each place."

Nan He was stunned, "This is... shirk? That Xu Guogong is said to be mean and selfish. After marrying a woman from the Yingchuan Yang family, he rose to the top in the army... But this is a battle! How can it be child's play?"

"He's just kidding!"

Yang Xuan said mockingly, "It doesn't matter what others do, there are many foreign races in front of Taiping, we must be careful."

……

Vache Ministry.

In the big tent, the leaders gathered.

Hua Zhuo sat at the head, and there was a plate of mutton on the table.The mutton was a bit cold and the fat was congealed.He cut a piece with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, and looked at the crowd slowly.

"Beiliao sent envoys to order us to attack and cut off the Tang army's supply road."

Speaking of Ling Shi, he obviously emphasized his tone, with a mocking look on his face.

"This is to harvest chestnuts from the Beiliao fire!"

"Khan, you have to be cautious about this matter."

Everyone talked and persuaded.

Hua Zhuo threw the knife on the plate, and said calmly: "After the matter is completed, ten thousand fat sheep and three thousand horses."

In an instant, the aggrieved eyes in both pairs suddenly changed, becoming extraordinarily fierce.

"Dry!"

"It's a fool not to do it!"

"I would like to lead the army!"

Hua Zhuo stroked his beard with oily hands, and the beard became more and more shiny, "Go to Nayin."

A short and stout leader stepped out, and said disrespectfully, "Is Khan trying to consume our troops?"

Hua Zhuo looked at him and said coldly: "This is a good opportunity to make money for my Vaxie tribe. You used to boast that you were unparalleled in resourcefulness, but you refused to contribute to the tribe. Why?"

This reason is impeccable.

Nayin laughed suddenly, "I was just telling a joke, and I, Nayin, took over this matter."

Hua Zhuo nodded, "Ben Khan is looking forward to your good news."

Then everyone dispersed.

Wahai, who had been silent in the corner, said softly, "Nayin is ambitious and wants to replace you. You shouldn't give him a chance."

Hua Zhuo smiled, "Tang Jun will send troops to guard the Liang Road, and those people will be brave enough to die. Even if Nayin succeeds...he will suffer heavy casualties."

"Okay." Wahai closed her eyes and adjusted her breath.

Hua Zhuo asked with concern: "How is your injury?"

"It's been good."

"Hey!" Hua Zhuo got up, "Just say what you want, if there is none in the tribe, I will send people to buy it everywhere."

Wahai opened her eyes, and there was a touch of warmth in her eyes, "I know."

……

Grain carts were moving slowly, with three hundred infantry guarding both sides, and one hundred cavalry led by Yang Xuan patrolling in front.

"Lang Jun, it looks gloomy today!" The old thief looked at the sky and smacked his lips.

Yang Xuan nodded, and slapped Wang Laoer, who was eating the jerky, "Eat, eat, and I don't see any growth."

Wang Lao Er tried hard to swallow the jerky, "It's grown, last time Yiniang said that my clothes are too small, so it can be seen that I have grown."

"Long fart!" The old thief sneered, "That's because the clothes have shrunk."

The two bickered, and Yang Xuan looked at the grassland in front of him, thinking about that Duke Xu.

Sending troops to guard the grain roads is a matter of course. Using insufficient troops as an excuse is more like losing your temper and making a petty temper.But this Xu Guogong is not too young!
Thinking of the grizzled general acting like a baby girl, Yang Xuan couldn't help but shudder.

Why?
He is wondering.

Just seven or eight miles away from him, the eight hundred riders had already rested.

"Boss." Yiqi came in a hurry, "Tang Jun's scouts found us."

"Hmm!" Nayin said coldly, "Where did you go?"

The scout said: "We intercepted the route to the east, and the scout went west."

Nayin pondered for a long time.

"To the west, I'm going to report to Zhang Yu County..." Nayin smiled, showing his composure, "The front is the grain team, and when the Tang army arrived, there were already dead bodies and fires all over the field. It's too late!"

Several riders galloped ahead.

"The leader, the Death Battalion in Taiping County is guarding the grain trucks, and the leader is the county magistrate."

"Oh!" Nayin was stunned, "Let the local guard the food carts... those death camps are just criminals. Yang Xuan, last time that idiot Hua Zhuo was coaxed by him to coax several carts of medicinal materials, he felt ashamed and even made him feel ashamed." If someone kept his mouth shut, I captured the county magistrate and went back to humiliate him."

The crowd cheered.

Nayin drew his saber, his eyes glowed like a raging fire.

"Attack!"

Eight hundred riders advanced slowly.

……

Several Tang army scouts galloped desperately, followed by more than ten horsemen.

"drive!"

Everyone beat their horses desperately.

Ahead, more than a hundred riders suddenly appeared.

"It's Tang Jun."

"withdraw!"

The pursuers retreated, the scouts were ecstatic, and someone waved and shouted, "Which general is it?"

Yiqi was surrounded, but it was He Zun. He asked in a deep voice, "What did you find?"

A scout panted, "While I was cruising, I found [-] cavalry from the Vasie tribe, moving south."

"South..." He Zun thought.

"It's Taiping County, where the grain truck just passed by." The scout looked pale, obviously aware of the consequences of the grain truck accident.

Once the grain carts are burned, there will be a shortage of grain.This gap can be filled temporarily, but the morale of the army will suffer irresistibly.

"The army depends on food, bad!"

He Zun's complexion changed drastically, "Taiping County has more than [-] soldiers. Those death camps are criminals. How can we face those tribal warriors?"

"Eight hundred riders committed crimes against three or four hundred people..." He Zun glanced back and shouted, "Hurry up, let's rush to help Taiping!"

……

The convoy is moving slowly.

After several months of hard work in the death camp, his impetuosity has faded and he has become calm.

"The scout hasn't come back yet?" Yang Xuan asked.

This time he left one hundred soldiers behind and ordered Nan He to guard the base camp.

Zhao Youcai said, "It should be almost there."

Diao She laughed and said, "Our scouts are still newbies, and mistakes are inevitable."

Yang Xuan smiled.

The atmosphere is relaxed.

Five miles away on the right, Shuqi was running for his life.

Behind him, eight hundred riders pursued closely.

"The grain truck is right ahead, let's catch it by surprise!" Nayin shouted on horseback.

This would be the perfect raid!

He was sure of it.

In front of the convoy, Yang Xuan's body suddenly froze.

A chill ran down his spine.

Scalp tingling!

It's like before encountering life and death crisis in Dongyu Mountain for the first time.

Yang Xuanze looked at the north and hissed.

"The grain trucks are in formation!"

The official leading the grain truck was startled.

"Yeah I told you to form an formation!" Yang Xuan's eyes turned red.

The official trembled, "End the formation!"

Grain carts lined up one after another, forming a circular formation.The coachmen held their weapons in the circle and looked outside in bewilderment.

Yang Xuan felt that the numbness of his scalp was like the electric shock that Suzaku said.

He shouted: "Death Battalion... Formation!"

The Death Battalion faced the northern formation.

The array just took shape.

Northern Shuqi appeared.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of riders swept in like a tide!

Yiqi held up his long sword.

The horseman stood up.

"Assault!"

In front of the array, someone screamed terribly.

"Enemy attack!"

……

Available tomorrow morning.

Thanks to the "I want to live for decades" Silver League.
