retaliate

Chapter 119 Heroes of Northern Xinjiang (add 2 for 'I want to live for decades')

This battle in the early winter of the third year of the Daqian can be described as inexplicable.

First, Beiliao sent troops to slaughter several villages in Datang. When the news reached Chang'an, the emperor was furious. He felt that it was Helianfeng, the emperor of Beiliao, who was trying to block him before the end of the year.

Then Xu Guogong and Zhang Chumao led an army of [-] to take revenge... This force could destroy the country decades ago, but now it is just revenge.

After the army arrived in Tao County, they did not leave. They squatted for a long time until the army of the Beiliao Army gathered, and then they left the city.

Everyone is looking forward to a big battle.

After many years of war between the two countries.

Even if the striker suffered a disastrous defeat, many people still look forward to a battle between Zhang Chumao and Beiliao to see how the two countries are doing today.

But Zhang Chumao retreated.

He withdrew his army back to Tao County, besieged the city of Beiliao for a day, and then retreated.

This battle can be said to be anticlimactic... [-] troops were mobilized, and an unknown amount of food and civilian labor was spent, and finally a so-called 'great victory' was achieved without pain

Zhang Chumao was waiting for the result of the "good news" to Chang'an in Taoxian County, hoping that the emperor would recall him in time.

There is no way, the officials and generals in Tao County are very rude and often treat them indifferently.

"Zhong Cheng, the Vasie Department has [-] cavalry."

In the yamen of Jiedushi, the judge Wu Lin held the document sent by Chenzhou, with a look of anger on his face, "Chenzhou actually lied about the military situation!"

Before Huang Chunhui could speak, Jiang Cunzhong clapped the case, "This is a way to boost morale, you know what!"

The refined man also swears, and then he looked at Huang Chunhui and said: "Zhongcheng, I heard that the death camp was composed of criminals, and there were only 400 people. One enemy and two can still defeat the enemy. It can be seen that Yang Xuanpo Some talents. Zhongcheng, if you don't let him come to Tao County, at least treat us to a drink!"

"Meet Deputy Envoy Liao."

There was a sound of greeting outside, and then Liao Jin, the deputy envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Jiedu, came.

Liao Jin, who is almost 50 years old, is quite tall, and he smiles very kindly.

"Meet Deputy Envoy Liao."

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Liao Jin smiled and nodded, saluted and said: "I have seen Zhongcheng."

"When you went to inspect the northern border this time, I was worried that you would run into the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Then I would have to use the deputy envoy to catch you, tired." Huang Chunhui laughed.

Liao Jin sat down, "I heard about this battle on the way. By the way, the Duke is still leaving?"

Someone said: "It is said that they are waiting for Chang'an to call."

Liao Jin sighed, "It's not uncommon for a striker to lose so badly, but is there any good news?"

Jiang Cunzhong said: "Deputy envoy, a county magistrate in Chenzhou defeated the [-] cavalry of the Vasie tribe with the atonement battalion."

"Oh!" Liao Jin said with a smile: "How old is the county magistrate?"

Zhang Du said outside the door: "Deputy envoy, he said he was only fifteen, and he was Chen Zhou who volunteered to come here."

"Oh!" Liao Jin said with a smile: "It seems that he is a young talent, by the way, Zhang Du, why are you outside the door?"

Zhang Du bowed his head, "Last time, the officials spoke poorly, and were kicked out by Zhongcheng. Zhongcheng said that if the deputy envoy doesn't come back, the officials will not be able to enter."

A deputy general is not qualified to hang around here, but Liao Jin couldn't help admiring Zhang Du, so he made an exception.

"come in."

When Zhang Du came in, he said with a smile: "Deputy envoy, please persuade Zhongcheng, we all said that we wanted to see what kind of boy that boy is, but Zhongcheng said that the weather was so cold that he was tormenting him."

Liao Jin said with a smile: "Most of you here are jumping up and down the most, it's all Zhongcheng, see you?"

Huang Chunhui sighed, "The old man didn't let him come because Zhang Chumao was in the city. He claimed a great victory in this battle, but he lost. When the young county magistrate who really won a great victory comes, how can he keep his face? Who let him come, who protects him!"

"Leader!"

Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du Qiqi agreed, and then both laughed.

……

When Yang Xuan received the order, he was practicing the death camp.

After this battle, he selected a group of prisoners from the city, still full of 500 people.

"This battle has exposed many problems. First, there are too few cavalry and insufficient maneuverability. However, a lot of horses have been captured this time, which can be supplemented." Yang Xuan was teaching everyone.

"Second..."

The sound of hoofs came.

"Mingfu, a messenger from Northern Xinjiang."

The messenger brought news that made Yang Xuan a little confused.

"I order you to go to Tao County immediately."

"Mingfu, the Jiedushi is in Tao County." Zhao Youcai trembled with excitement, just like the mood of later generations of countrymen who heard that they could go to the capital for a tour.

Yang Xuan took the order to order Nan He to lead the army to continue the drill, and went back to the county to pack his things.

"The old thief is recuperating, Lao Cao looks at his hometown, Nan He leads the army, and the second child and I go to Tao County."

Yang Xuan found that there were still fewer people around him.

Yi Niang took the things that Zhang Siniang had prepared for him for the trip, while muttering, "Then Huang Chunhui doesn't know when to change it? How good is spring, and we can play together."

She turned around suddenly, "Mr. Lang, ask Fourth Lady to follow you and serve you all the way."

Yang Xuan smiled wryly, "This is to see the Jiedu envoy, if you take the maid with you, you will be laughed at."

Yi Niang thought so too.

……

When Yang Xuan rushed to Tao County, the first heavy snow just happened to fall.

Standing in front of him, seeing that the whole world is white, he couldn't help but praise: "This is the power of the world."

Tao County is also a vast expanse of whiteness.

The sergeants guarding the city stood timidly, stomping their feet in the opening of the city gate.

"No one will come in this weather, so we should close the door. Let's go back and get a small clay stove, warm some wine and drink, and take a nap... Hey! The gods don't change these days!"

"There are hooves."

"alert!"

When everyone went out, they saw more than twenty riders coming slowly.

"Where did it come from?"

"Chenzhou is peaceful."

Yang Xuan dismounted, "Yang Xuan, magistrate of Taiping County, came here under orders."

"You are Yang Mingfu?"

The eyes of several sergeants lit up.

Uh!
Yang Xuan was stunned, wondering why these people were so surprised, "Yes!"

A sergeant said excitedly: "Yang Mingfu, you don't know that when they learned that you led a [-]-death battalion to defeat the [-]-watt Xie cavalry, many people said that you are a tiger..."

What a god!

"Hahahaha!" In the earphones, the green lights of Suzaku's smile stopped blinking.

Immediately someone took them to the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

Jiedushi Mansion has a bit of history, and the sergeants guarding the gate are very majestic.

"Yang Mingfu?"

The little official came to welcome him, with a look of admiration on his face, "Your official heard about the bravery of the Ming government in this battle, and I cannot help admiring you!"

Yang Xuan laughed.

Outside the hall, the petty official went in to report.

"Zhongcheng, Yang Xuan, magistrate of Taiping County, Chenzhou, is asking to see you."

"Oh!" Huang Chunhui nodded, "Let him in."

When Yang Xuan came in, everyone was staring at him.

"I've seen Zhong Cheng." Yang Xuan saluted.

Huang Chunhui pointed to the generals and officials below, "You just think about this young man, now that he's here, just ask if you have anything to say."

Someone introduced Yang Xuan.

"This is Deputy Envoy Liao."

"This is……"

"This is General Zuowei Zhonglang."

"This is……"

After some introduction, they are all famous figures in Northern Xinjiang.

Liao Jin stroked his beard and asked: "Taiping is a place of exile, why did you take the initiative to invite Ying to go there?"

Can I say there is no way?

Yang Xuan said solemnly: "It doesn't matter where you work for the Tang Dynasty, the more difficult the place, the better."

This is a stunned, hot-blooded young man... Liao Jin nodded, "Those criminals are the most cunning, how did you practice?"

Uh!
This problem is more troublesome.

Yang Xuan carefully said: "After the officials arrived in Taiping, they found that those criminals had a heart to serve the country, so they were encouraged and practiced every day..."

This answer can be said that no one can find faults, but they can't find the slightest bright spot.

The old man is about to take back his stunned evaluation... Liao Jin finally asked: "Where did you learn your art of war?"

Everyone is interested in this question.

Yang Xuan said without hesitation: "The lower official is a student of the Imperial Academy, and he found a lot of military art in the Imperial Academy's collection, and taught himself."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
There was an embarrassing coughing sound in the lobby.

Everyone is serious in the army, they have all learned the art of war from their teachers, and after years of fighting and tempering, they dare to say that they have made some achievements.But you, Yang Xuan, came to study by yourself.

Shame too!

Huang Chunhui said: "It's okay to be a young man, so let's talk about the situation on the front line of Chenzhou. Tell the truth, there must be no increase or decrease."

The Jiedu envoy's government naturally has a way to know about these situations, otherwise it would be dereliction of duty.But Huang Chunhui still intervened, with a strong sense of being a test teacher.

Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Zhongcheng, the main problem that I face in Chenzhou's front line is the three major departments, Jibo, Yuhu, and Vaxie. If these three departments join forces to attack, Chenzhou will not be able to protect."

Huang Chunhui squinted his eyes, as if he was dozing off.

"Besides the three ministries is the Beiliao. In the past few years, the Beiliao has often crossed the border to harass Chenzhou, but the scale is not large. The only thing to worry about is the three ministries..."

Jiang Cunzhong nodded and asked, "What if the Northern Liao invaded Chenzhou?"

"The lower officials think that it is unlikely that the Northern Liao Dynasty will invade Chenzhou on a large scale."

"Why?"

"Chenzhou is poor and has bad waters. If the Northern Liao Dynasty attacks Chenzhou with all its strength, the main forces of Northern Xinjiang will be able to flank them immediately. If this is the case, the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty will be in danger."

There was more appreciation in Jiang Cunzhong's eyes.

Zhang Du couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "But what if Beiliao tricks the three major forces to send troops? It is so easy to take Chenzhou, but the main force can attack Xuanzhou."

Yang Xuan couldn't answer this question.

Zhang Du said embarrassingly: "I forgot, you are just the county magistrate of Taiping."

This person was a little straightforward, but it made Yang Xuan feel good about him.

Liao Jin glanced at Huang Chunhui and said, "What do you think Chenzhou can do to defend against the three major ministries? Don't think about it when the army enters, the Ministry of Households will roar like thunder."

Jiang Cunzhong smiled wryly, "None of the three prefectures in northern Xinjiang are rich, and the number of troops that can be supported by taxation every year is limited."

This is the biggest problem in northern Xinjiang at present, and the DPRK and China are not in the mood to take care of it.

Yang Xuan felt that this topic was too big, but he had to make a statement.

He pondered for a while, "If you want to defend against the three major ministries, you have to rely on yourself. The lower officials think that the soldiers are more expensive than many."

Ah!
Huang Chunhui raised his eyes, "That's not bad."

This is of course true, it is the mantra of the military strategists in that world, and the truth proved by countless battles.

Zhang Du was a little restless, but Jiang Cunzhong's eyes were bright, "It's not easy to be like you because you are self-taught, and you are indeed a genius in the army."

He looked at Huang Chunhui, "Zhongcheng, Beijiang needs such talents!"

Liao Jin said quietly: "Chenzhou also needs this kind of talent."

In the ear, Suzaku, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly fired, "The West Factory also needs talents like you."

Huang Chunhui raised his eyes, stretched his neck, and said, "Chenzhou is dangerous on the front line, but Chenzhou is too poor to support soldiers. Yang Xuan."

Yang Xuan got up.

Huang Chunhui smiled, "You have worked hard this journey, sit down and talk."

Liao Jin smiled and said: "I remember who came in last time, and stood there for half an hour, Zhong Cheng is treating one more than another!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Yang Xuan also laughed.

Huang Chunhui waited for them to laugh enough, and then slowly said: "Liu Qing from Chenzhou is stubborn, and he often fights with the old man. If you want to do this, if you want to do that, you can beat Qiufeng better than anyone else."

Yang Xuan couldn't help being happy when he thought of Liu Qing's temperament coming to fight the autumn wind.

"That's right." Huang Chunhui laughed when he saw that he was happy, "But he's had a hard time in Chenzhou, and he's been struggling to maintain it in the past few years. Now the three major departments have gradually developed ambitions, and Chenzhou can no longer be like this."

Yang Xuan knew that this rumored to be an old and confused Jiedu envoy was going to come up with a plan.

Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, and slowly looked at the crowd with cloudy eyes.

"In the six counties of Chenzhou, Taiping, which was destroyed seven times, was the worst. Taiping was destroyed five years ago, and the whole Chenzhou was helpless. Since then, the old man has been thinking... What if we send a strong general to guard Taiping? Think about it Those criminals dare not act rashly, but now...the titan is right in front of the old man."

I am Confucian general!Yang Xuan bowed his body, "Zhongcheng praised you absurdly."

"When you are younger than the weak crown, you can make those criminals bow their heads... Don't deny it. I have been in the army for many years, and I know that those arrogant soldiers and powerful generals are difficult to deal with. No means will work. Only solid military exploits and victories can be used Convince them."

At this moment, Huang Chunhui showed a little majesty.

"If the old man had a thousand troops with you, would you be able to keep peace?"

Yang Xuan didn't expect it to be this one. He thought for a while, "Zhongcheng, if a small group of enemy troops attacked, there would be no problem for 1000 people to defend Taiping, and they could even wait for an opportunity to counterattack. 1000 men are more than enough to defend the city, but not aggressive enough to fight back."

Liao Jin laughed suddenly, "He is not satisfied with defending the city, but wants to fight back. It really is a young man with blood!"

Huang Chunhui shook his head, "I can't give you much..."

Yang Xuan bowed his head slightly, "Zhongcheng, we Beijiang people are fierce and often commit crimes. Those people commit crimes... I will be reluctant to share Beijiang's worries in Taiping."

"Human offender?"

Liao Jin couldn't help laughing in surprise, "Are you an addict? Zhong Cheng, what do you think?"

Huang Chunhui said calmly: "If you don't look well, those people commit riots, and Taiping County will be reduced to ruins."

Those criminals can do anything, including murder and arson.

If you really want to let them have fun, everyone will have a headache.

Yang Xuan secretly rejoiced, "The lower officials can restrain them."

Huang Chunhui thinks this idea is not bad, and it saves the trouble of detaining prisoners, "How many people do you want?"

"Five thousand!"

Yang Xuan stretched out five fingers.

He looked confused, as if these populations would bring him great trouble.

"Fart!" Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "Three thousand with you, get out!"

Naturally, these 3000 people cannot all be criminals, so this is not a small migration project.Even Liao Jin looked at Huang Chunhui in surprise, a little surprised by his generosity.

Yang Xuan stood up and saluted with a smile, "If someone commits a crime next time, I, Taiping, would like to share Zhong Cheng's worries."

Huang Chunhui picked up the water glass, "It's the end of the year, and I have to go back to Chang'an to report on my work, and you will go with the people from the state."

Yang Xuan was surprised, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Chunhui rubbed his brows, "It's not so easy to get down the bugle number of the Taiping Army. Since you are a student of the Imperial Academy, you should use your strength through them."

Guozijian belongs to the line of Zuoxiang, so Yang Xuan naturally does too.In this way, he also saves trouble and worry.

Immediately Yang Xuan was taken out by Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du.

"Go, have a drink!"

The three of them found a brothel, ordered food and wine, and after a heavy meal, Yang Xuan was a little dizzy.

Jiang Cunzhong was also drunk, hugged Yang Xuan's shoulder and burped, making Yang Xuan want to vomit.

"Do you want to come to Xuanzhou?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "I don't want to."

Coming to Xuanzhou is someone else's food, he is not stupid.

"What's so good about Taiping?" Zhang Du felt that Yang Xuan was a very interesting young man, and he had similar interests.

"Yes...uh!" Yang Xuan hiccupped and fanned away the smell of alcohol, "There are a group of brothers here."

There are his dreams there.

"Serve!"

Jiang Cunzhong drank too much, and patted the table, "The best food, the best wine, and the best woman."

The food and wine came up like water.

Yang Xuan actually saw good ingredients that are rare even in Chang'an.

What the hell!

He looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, "Isn't this a small expense?"

Zhang Du said indifferently: "Jiang Lang will be rich."

Jiang Cunzhong was startled, "I'm poor this month..."

The two looked at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan smiled wryly, "I didn't bring much money here."

His trip is on official business, what is he doing with so much money?

The three looked at each other.

"How to do?"

"Ouch! The three generals are here!"

The old bustard came with his girls himself.

Qi Qi stood in a row!
"Please choose as you like, if you don't have to keep all of them, you can just keep them." The old bustard smiled, as if looking at the three statuettes.

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Cunzhong said in a low voice: "If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. The worst case is to write down the IOU... Zhang Du and I will pay back the money slowly later."

Honest enough!

Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Count me in."

He has a ramen business, but he also knows the truth of not revealing his wealth, otherwise these two straightforward brothers will have doubts.

"it is good!"

So the three of them started drinking and having fun.

"Master, let's drink!"

"Lang Jun, I'll feed you!"

A group of people came outside, with heavy footsteps.

"Get out!"

Someone shouted in a deep voice, followed by screams.

Zhang Du scolded: "Who the hell dares to cause trouble in Tao County? Yeah, kill him!"

Suddenly it became quiet outside.

Then one came in.

"Xu Guogong?"

The three stood up and saluted.

Zhang Chumao looked at the three of them coldly.

Chang Shi came in and said in a low voice: "Jiang Cunzhong, General of Zuowei Zhonglang, and Zhang Du, Deputy General, are both Huang Chunhui's favorite generals. That young man is probably Yang Xuan who just arrived, and he is the so-called great victory."

Zhang Chumao walked in slowly.

"Don't go to military training, don't go to study, but indulge in pleasure here."

You said it as if you came to the brothel for work.

Zhang Du pouted.

"go out!"

Chang Shi shouted.

This is a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Zhang Chumao waited for the three of them to rebound, then scolded and suppressed them, and then took advantage of the opportunity to go to Huang Chunhui to fight in the ring, so that Huang Chunhui could suppress the 'rumors' outside.

"Yes!"

The three of them slipped away.

run fast.

It seemed that there was a ghost chasing after him.

After a long time, the bustard came.

"Ouch! They didn't pay!"

Xu Guogong, who occupied this room, looked at the fawning bustard...

Suddenly feel very depressed.

"give her!"
