Han Hai Tang Ergui

Outside the city of Liangzhou, the Qian Yueguo delegation led by Pei Jian camped outside the city, and they were never allowed to enter Liangzhou city. It was said that the posthouses in the city had not been cleaned, but in fact, who knew why?

After waiting for about a day, Pei Jian saw a team with obviously different clothing styles from Hexi Longyou, slowly approaching from a distance.

When he took a closer look, it was none other than the Southern Tang Mission next to Qian Yueguo.

Zhengshi from the Southern Tang Dynasty was wearing a very colorful and well-trimmed robe that showed a sense of elegance and luxury. It is said that this robe was designed by the sage Shaoming, called the boa robe.

Pei Jian immediately knew who was coming, because in the whole world, apart from the top dignitaries of the state of Zhou, the only ones who could get the gold, red, blue and white python robes were the Southern Tang lord Li Jing, and Li Jing's third brother Li Jingsui and fourth brother Li Jingda.

Li Jing is the lord of a country, so naturally he has no reason to be an envoy himself, and Li Jingsui is the heir of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible for Li Jing to come, so the only one who will come is Li Jingda.

Pei Jian hesitated for a moment, but he still took the initiative to go up to meet him. After all, he is a royal family, and both countries are vassals of the Central Plains.Li Jingda was also canonized by Shao Mingzi as the Jiedu Envoy of Jiangnan West Road, and his official position was far above Pei Jian.

When Li Jingda saw Pei Jian, he came down to answer with a smile, as if he was a little happy to be able to wear this blue python robe.

This made Pei Jian speechless.

The whole of Jiangnan knows how the brothers of the Li family got their python robes.

It was when Zhou Tianzi was pacifying Nanping and Machu, he was afraid of sending troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he ordered people to reprimand and frighten them first, and rewarded them deliberately when Jinghu was about to be pacified.

This is the routine of hitting a stick first and then giving a bone!It's like treating the Li family brothers like dogs.

At least Li Jing and Li Jingsui have never put on this python robe, because it is too shameful, who knows that Li Jingda is still complacent, who is he!
Li Jingda acted as if he didn't see Pei Jian's eyes, and felt really sad.

This man was upright and upright. Compared with Li Jing, who was fond of wine, and Li Jingsui, who was a little cowardly, he was the only clan in Southern Tang who strongly advocated sending troops to rescue Zhou Guo when he swallowed Nanping and Southern Chu.

But when Emperor Shao Tian devoured the two countries with thunder, Li Jingda was the first person to urge his elder brother Li Jing to serve the Central Plains.

Because Li Jingda, who still knows a little bit about military affairs, knows that after Zhou Guo took Nanping and Machu, and owned Jiangling and Yueyang, two river fortresses and the navy of the two countries,

Nantang has no chance at all!
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the past, the Southern Dynasties had Jiangnan, Bashu, Lingnan, Lianghu and Huainan, and they could barely compete with the Northern Dynasties.

Now the Li family has only one generation in the eastern capital of Yangzhou in the south of the Tang Dynasty and the North of the Yangtze River. There is money in the south of the Yangtze River and half of the country is divided into half.

Although Li Jing is a bit mediocre in governing the country, he is not someone who is completely blind to the situation.

Especially after hearing that Meng Shu was defeated by Zhou Jun in a single battle within [-] days, the three brothers hugged each other and cried for a long time in the ancestral temple.

Not to mention their three brothers now, most ordinary people in Nantang knew that Guozuo of Nantang didn't have much time left.

You must know that not only Meng Shu's natural dangers are unmatched by the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As far as the army is concerned, Mengshu still has a group of elite soldiers from Daibei and Hedong who followed Meng Zhixiang in the past. Compared with the Southern Tang Dynasty, which basically abolished the black cloud sword during Xu Zhigao's period, their combat effectiveness is actually stronger. .

Li Jing told his officials more than once in the past that Meng Shu relied on natural dangers and was the country that could survive the pressure of Zhou Guoqiang for a long time.

If he could move his capital to Hongzhou (Nanchang) in the Southern Tang Dynasty and then rely on the natural danger of the river and the mountains in southern Jiangxi as cover, he would be able to deal with Zhou Guo.

Before he finished speaking, Li Jing was severely slapped in the face, losing all face.

The three brothers who were crying bitterly in the ancestral temple thought of a way.

That is to say, Li Jing continued to "bear the burden of humiliation", while Li Jingda, a clan known as upright, wore the python robe bestowed by Zhou Guo to paralyze Zhou Guo and buy time for the Southern Tang to accumulate strength.

The relationship between Southern Tang and Qian Yue has never been very good. In the past, Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu were rivals for Wuzhong, and there have been constant disputes since then.

Qian Yue was weaker, so he chose to humble the Central Plains and use the hands of the Central Plains court to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Especially during the war against Wang Min in the Southern Tang Dynasty, when the Southern Tang Dynasty was about to swallow Wang Min, Qian Yue sent troops suddenly, and forced to tear this piece of meat from the mouth of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As a result, the Southern Tang Dynasty spent a lot of military expenditures, but in the end they only got Jianzhou, and the two sides had a lot of grievances.

But at this moment when Li Jingda and Pei Jian met in Hexi, where the folk customs are very different from those in the south of the Yangtze River, they actually felt a little sympathetic.

The two exchanged some awkward greetings, and then they heard horseshoes in the distance, as if thousands of troops were coming.

Both of them felt a chill in their hearts, especially Pei Jian, who was still a little apprehensive when he thought of what happened that day.

The vicinity of Liangzhou Prefecture is quite flat, especially the place where the Qianyue mission camped temporarily is a small hill, and the view from here is even wider.

The members of the missions of the two countries followed the prestige, only to feel that the earth was trembling and dust was flying, and in the distance as if it was the sky, at least dozens of flags suddenly appeared.

Behind these banners, at least tens of thousands of riders are rushing forward.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, why are there so many Xiaoqi, where did they come from?"

Li Jingda's face was terrified, he was a little stressed, because in Yizheng, east of Yangzhou, he sat on the hills like this, watching himself being defeated and captured by Murong Baipao.

Pei Jian was also a little panicked by Li Jingda's words.
.
This is because there is too little experience. If there are so many cavalry running wildly in the capital, there must be something wrong, but in Longyou, Hexi, it is just the norm.

Here, on average, each household can produce close to one qualified cavalry. Zhang Shengren has a total of 11 pro-military households in Longyou, Hexi, and [-] households such as Yicong Xiaoqi and United Archers as substitutes for pro-military households.

In addition, there are [-] households of the imperial army, who were not in Hexi Longyou before the introduction of the policy of recruiting the imperial army, and their household registration was in Longyou, Hexi.

Adding it all up, not counting the recruitment of people of all ethnic groups from the prefectures and counties near Qingtang, there are close to 20 households just above.

With such a huge base, the so-called Wanqi is nothing at all.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, these cavalrymen appeared on Li Jingda's pale face, and then everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.

Because the flags of the cavalry troops that came almost all read such as "the third regiment of the Tumen folk army in Changsong County", "the united athlete of the Wucheng inspection department", "the regiment of the sons of the banned army in Guangwu County and Yangwei Town" "Yi Cong Xiaoqi, Heyuan Inspection Department of Huangshui Prefecture" and so on.

This is determined by the unique political and military structure in Longyou, Hexi. Due to the numerous pro-army, forbidden, and paramilitary righteous soldiers and united archers, the traditional prefecture and county model of the Han region cannot fully meet the needs of governance.

So in Longyou, Hexi, a disciple group similar to the Zhechong Mansion of Fu Bing of the Tang Dynasty was established.

All the relatives of the pro-army and the forbidden army, the best fighters from all walks of life, from the brave cavalry, united archers, and heavy armored soldiers, all belong to the management of the children's regiment, and set up a regiment battalion to guard the captain.

The status of the captain of the regiment camp is higher in the county. Although the political status is lower than that of the county magistrate, it is not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court in the area under its jurisdiction, but is directly managed by Luantai, Zhongshu Province.

It's just that the captain of the regiment and battalion is only responsible for military discipline, military registration, training, recruitment and selection, and cannot interfere with other things.

The rest of the second-class are all under the management of the county captains of the counties.

Then at each key pass and main road, inspection departments were set up to govern the local athletes except pro-military households and forbidden military households, and the imperial court also enlisted athletes to serve in various inspection departments every year in accordance with regulations.

So when Li Jingda and others saw the banners these people were flying, they knew that these people were not rebels, but armed forces from various places.

Pei Jian approached Li Jingda a little bit, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are as many as ten thousand horses here, but they are only under the jurisdiction of more than forty banners, which means that every village in Longyou, Hexi, has at least Hundreds of elite riders."

Li Jingda looked at the neat and majestic knights in the distance, and felt very uncomfortable. After hearing Pei Jian's words, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to answer casually, who knows whether Pei Jian is worried about Qian Yue Guozuo, or is he a Wu traitor who has long thought of 'selling' Qian Yue to the Central Plains court in exchange for his own high-ranking official and rich salary?
After a long while, Li Jingda suddenly remembered that the role he played should have a heart for the state of Zhou, so he immediately replied with high spirits: "The imperial court is full of martial virtues, enough to clean up the rivers and mountains, and the restoration of the dynasty is just around the corner!"

Pei Jian took a deep look at Li Jingda, and heaved a long sigh in his heart. Li Jingda was very wary of Wuyue courtiers like him, and of course it was even more impossible for him to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the (Wuyue) king.

If the Tang and Wu countries can work together, there is still a chance of survival. If they can't work together, they will be swallowed up sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Pei Jian slowly shook his head again, that's all, serving someone is not serving him!

He wants to come forward to bring the two countries together, and if he fails, the family will be wiped out, and the wise man will not do it.

What's more, the world has been in chaos for 200 years, and people's minds are settled. Now that the Holy Lord of the Central Plains is out, why do they do things that go against the sky.

"Today, I, the athlete from Guangwu County, should first go to Xijing to meet the saint. Where did you come from? How dare you compete with a certain family!"

"Blind yak, you thief slave, others are afraid of your brute strength, but Yeye are not afraid of you, if you dare to fight for it, a certain family will not spare you!"

"I heard that your name is Longyou Saizilong? It's really shameless. A certain family came from Lintan Mansion specially to meet you and see who is the first shot in Longyou."

All kinds of swear words, mixed with ancestors of various families, and various reproductive organs, along with these cavalry, rushed to the Southern Tang and Qianyue missions, and then turned a blind eye and passed in front of them at lightning speed.

The splashed mud sprayed everywhere, and the stench of livestock blown by the wind almost made people vomit.

At least two or three thousand war horses galloped past Li Jingda's eyes, and the noise of people and horses followed. Even the horses under Li Jingda's crotch were infected, and they were eager to run along with them.

Li Jingda was so frightened that he hurriedly called for help, and the Nantang guards around him tried their best to help him hold the reins, only to avoid a tragedy.

"vulgar!"

"rude!"

Amidst the noise, Pei Jian and Li Jingda cursed almost at the same time.

At the south gate of Liangzhou, Zhang Ting also came over with more than a hundred guards. He knew all too well the virtues of these idiots and fools under his command. If he didn't control them, they could go to heaven.

However, the situation is better than Zhang Yu thought, although Yi Cong on both sides is indeed chaotic and still arguing.

But in the middle, those pro-military children's regiments showed good discipline. They had a clear banner, basically uniform uniforms, and no one ran around and shouted, showing extremely high fighting qualities.

Zhang Ting nodded slightly, "Let the pro-military children enter the city first. Order the county lieutenants who brought people here, and the inspection departments to immediately rectify military discipline."

But outside the city, after seeing Zhang Ting's yellow umbrella from a distance, the crowd immediately quieted down. No one continued to shout or quarrel, and almost everyone shouted long live in unison.

A cavalry of Regret Shandu, wearing a silver-white dragon-patterned cloth armor, ran out from the south gate with a command flag in his hand, shouting: "The sage ordered the children of the pro-army to enter the city, and stationed in the north of the city to guard the army. camp!"

As soon as the words fell, the general, who was wearing a silver-white python robe and had only one hand left, rode his horse to meet the armored cavalry, and firmly received the big flag in his hand with one hand.

"My lord, Luo Qinglian, the military supervisor of Lintan Mansion, has orders!"

Then Luo Qinglian faced the regiments of the children of the relative army, waved the command flag with one hand, and everyone shouted Long live the three again, and then all the regiments and battalions entered the city one by one.

At this time, the idiots who were arguing and comparing on both sides also suddenly remembered military discipline, and the county captains and inspectors of various inspection departments who brought them here also began to loudly reprimand the rectification of military discipline.

In just a few minutes for half a cup of tea, more than [-] cavalry and [-] to [-] horses immediately returned from a chaotic state to calm.

Except for the sound of horseshoes and the occasional neighing of war horses and the passing of military orders, there are no other noisy sounds.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all these ten thousand riders had confirmed where they were stationed, and lined up with the order flags, like real soldiers, and entered Liangzhou City.

Pei Jian was originally extremely dissatisfied with these barbaric cavalry, but now seeing Wan Yu cavalry so neatly ordered, he was shocked.

He turned his head to look at Li Jingda who was also shocked and said, "This Wanqi is just a recruiter like Jiangnan Long March athletes and state and county soldiers, but he can be banned like this.

Dare I ask your majesty, can the Sixth Guards Army of the Southern Tang Kingdom do this? "

Li Jingda smiled wryly in his heart, most of the Sixth Imperial Guard Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty were reimbursed during the Battle of Huainan.

Now the newly recruited Sixth Imperial Guard Army is just promoted from the township soldiers in various states and counties. Not to mention that tens of thousands of people can be ordered and banned with half a cup of tea, it may not be straightened out in half an hour.

But Li Jingda didn't give in, and asked with a sneer: "You can do it like Hangzhou Ba?"

Pei Jian shook his head with a wry smile, the gap is too deep!

Li Jingda thought he was going to laugh at him, Pei Jian immediately replied: "Of course not! With such a powerful army in Shangguo, there is no place for Tang and Wu to stand in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Li Jingda sensed something at this moment, and was about to go up to ask questions, but Pei Jian avoided him.

His ancestor Pei Jian was originally from Hedong, and he went southward, and he came out of Wenxi Pei clan of Wenxi together with Pei Yuan, Pei Yuying, the current minister of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The two passed their seniority in Tokyo, and Pei Yuan had to call him uncle. With such thighs, there is no reason not to hug them, even if not for himself, for his parents, wife and children!
The two questions just now are considered quite conscientious, so why go against the sky again.
