The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 877 Chapter 860 Six: The officials of Nanning Prefecture are preparing for war, and different races are causing trouble
Seeing what Duan Wuji said, Tieniu couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, you can really say it!

If you beat him up, you just beat him up, why bother to find such a good reason, what's the point of talking about this matter so grandly!

If this is known to outsiders, it will be said how hypocritical you are. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Brother Tieniu, don't say such useless things.

I've been on the road for a day today, and since there's nothing to do these days, let's rest him for a few days.

In another three days or a few days, you will lead fifty brothers to visit various counties to see how the preparations for war are going.

For those officials who are not very active in their work, you deal with them quickly.

Those who can be educated, we must educate them well, and those who don't listen to the education, we will behead them immediately, we can't be soft on this matter!

We can only stabilize the situation if we act vigorously and resolutely! "

"Brother! I understand what you mean. Don't worry about this matter. Just leave it to me. I will handle it properly."

The two brothers have nothing to do now, so they go to bed and rest.

The next morning, just after breakfast, that prefect Zhu came over.

"You two imperial envoys, I have sent more soldiers to guard the city gate, and now the number of soldiers guarding the city gate is five times as many as before.

I told them that the situation is getting tighter now, let them pay more attention, if work is slack and mistakes are made, they will be severely punished! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! That's good!

Prefect, while the situation is still relatively stable, you should also recruit some Han family children from our prefecture, and tell them that everyone should do it to protect their family and country.

For this conscription, we must act quickly, and we must not procrastinate.

After recruiting these soldiers, let's start training them immediately. Many of the soldiers I brought are veterans who can fight. When the time comes, recruit some veterans and let them help you train the army. "

Then Zhifu Zhu thought that he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that he had such a burdensome thing to do!
"You two imperial envoys, we are expanding our army and preparing for war with great fanfare. Is it true that there will be major turmoil in my Nanning Mansion?"

"Is there any need to talk about this? If there is no major turmoil, who would waste this matter! Could it be that the two of us are full of food.

I immediately wrote to the prefects of Guangzhou and Huizhou, asking them to send over [-] shi of grain and grass as soon as possible, and at the same time borrow some weapons and weapons from him, so that they can send them over quickly.

Mr. Zhifu, from now on, you have to cheer me up, and you must not fool around anymore!

Let's get through this crisis together and nothing will happen.

If you dare to be insensitive again, it will be very dangerous. "

Hearing what Duan Wuji said, Zhu Zhifu immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.

"Master Imperial Envoy, since you remind me again and again, I have no choice but to become the wartime prefect.

Well, then I will take action immediately and immediately recruit soldiers inside and outside the city.

My lord, how many soldiers do you think we should recruit? "

"I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit many soldiers at once! You can recruit [-] to [-] soldiers first.

If the number of recruits is reduced, I am afraid that will not solve any problems. "

When Zhu Zhifu heard what Duan Wuji said, he immediately felt a lot of pressure!

"Well, that's all right! Since the imperial envoy has given this order, then I will try my best to complete the task on time and according to the quantity."

After speaking, the prefect Zhu walked out.

Duan Wuji found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote letters to the prefects of Guangzhou and Huizhou, asking them to quickly dispatch food, grass and weapons to avoid any accidents!

After writing the letter, Duan Wuji handed the letter to Zhifu Zhu, and asked him to send his confidants to make up immediately, and rush to two places to deliver the letter!

Duan Wuji let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the prefect Zhu had sent out his staff!

In the next ten days or so, the entire Nanyang Mansion became tense quietly, and various preparations for the war began quietly. Tieniu and Cao Qiubao each led fifty brothers, and they ran between counties all day long!

The two personally supervised the conscription and training work in various places, and the two were extremely busy!

Duan Wuji stayed in the prefecture city, he helped Nazhu prefect to recruit and train soldiers all day long, he didn't dare to be idle!

Half a month later, the grain, grass and weapons that Duan Wuji collected from Guangzhou and Huizhou were all transported to Fucheng.

With food and weapons in his hands, Zhifu Zhu's back felt hardened.

Whoever has an army in his hands will not be able to straighten his waist!After such a period of conscription, the prefect Zhu has more than 500 soldiers under his command.

Duan Wuji helped them train these recruits day and night, and these recruits gradually gained some combat effectiveness.

Duan Wuji looked at the increasingly mature army, and gradually relaxed his tension.

Looking at the soldiers he had recruited, Zhifu Zhu gradually gained confidence in his heart.

Xin said: It feels so good to have these soldiers backing me up!Some small storms, my old Zhu is finally not afraid.

Then, Zhifu Zhu began to recruit the second batch of soldiers. This time a total of [-] soldiers were recruited. After these soldiers were recruited, Duan Wuji and Zhifu Zhu began to train these recruits again.

After another ten days, both Tieniu and Cao Qiubao came back from other places, Duan Wuji asked them about the situation in different places.

Both of them reciprocated one by one, Duan Wuji learned that the local forces in various places have been fully supplemented, and the armed forces in each place have been fully enhanced!

In the past, there were only a few dozen policemen and yamen servants in each county, but now most of the soldiers in each county have reached the scale of 500.

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine, and this place will become relatively safer. When the situation here is stable again, if nothing goes wrong, we can leave here."

But, who knew that the tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind kept coming, just when people were trying to take a breath, something really happened.

This morning, Duan Wuji and the others had nothing to do, they were drinking tea in the back yamen, when the prefect Zhu ran in from the front hall in a panic.

"You two imperial envoys, you really have the foresight. Our army has just been trained, and this is really a big deal.

The day before yesterday afternoon, something really happened. "

Duan Wuji put down his tea bowl, looked at Zhu Zhifu and said: "I said Lao Zhu!

What happened to this, hurry up and learn from them! "

"You two imperial envoys, the matter is like this.

Isn't this the autumn harvest? Everywhere is rushing to harvest food!

Who knew that the barbarians from the south said that they grew the food, and they killed more than 100 Han people in one fell swoop!

These people threatened that if this matter did not get a satisfactory result, they would attack my Nanning Mansion.

It is said that they have prepared more than 2 people, and they will attack my Nanyang Mansion at any time.

If we hadn't prepared so many troops in advance, our Nanning Mansion might not be able to keep it!

Two imperial envoys, how do you think this matter can be resolved? "

Before Duan Wuji answered, the Iron Bull jumped up first.

"His grandma, how can we deal with this matter! Now that those barbarians have immigrated to our country, they dare to be so arrogant. How dare they kill so many people in our country for no reason.

They dared to say that they dared to attack our Nanning Mansion. They didn't take our court seriously at all!

To these people, why do you think we should be polite to them!

If they dare to kill more than 100 of us, then we should kill hundreds of times as many of them, and let these children and grandchildren know that those who offend us will be punished no matter how far away they are.

What's more, they are now in our Nanning Mansion!If they don't kill them all, sooner or later this will be a big hidden danger for our Tang Dynasty! "

When Zhifu Zhu heard what Tieniu said, he was taken aback for a moment.

The prefect Zhu looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Imperial Commissioner Duan, what's your opinion?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"What's my opinion? Didn't my brother Tieniu speak for me just now? I have whatever opinion he has. If you don't plan to fight, what's the use of training soldiers for such a long time!
They are going to attack my Nanning mansion, do you think there is room for compromise on this matter!

If we compromise on this matter, we will be traitors through the ages.

Duan Wuji is not talented, I would rather die in battle than suffer the wretchedness of this alien!
Prefect Zhu, do you still have a different view on this matter? "

The prefect Zhu shook his head.

"The two imperial envoys are indeed prodigious!

When encountering such a thing, you immediately know to lead the army to suppress it. This heroism is really admirable! "

This prefect Zhu didn't understand the attitude of the two of them at first!As soon as I heard the two people say this, I knew that the two advocated leading the army to suppress it.

Now that the two imperial envoys have expressed their attitudes, how dare he say anything else!

If the Nanning Mansion was really defeated by those barbarians, to be honest, he, the magistrate, would definitely die a miserable death, either by the rebels or by the court!

Now the two advocate leading the army to suppress it. This is also the best solution he could wish for!

"My lords, you don't need to talk about this matter, I still don't understand such a simple truth!

It is inevitable that this city will die.

Although my old Zhu is not very smart, I still have the determination to coexist with the city. "

"Well, that's all you need to know! Your Majesty, since you've got the news, you should close the city gate quickly to prevent those spies from sneaking into the city. Once spies sneak in, it will be difficult to defend the city."

"Well! You are right, then I will immediately order them to close the city gates and strengthen the defense of the city.

Two imperial envoys, take a break from your missions, and I will assign these tasks immediately. "

Saying that, the prefect Zhu stood up and wanted to leave.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, let's not rest here anymore, the five hundred cavalry we brought are the main force among the main force, the elite among the elite!

Now to kill the enemy, it all depends on this army, let's go, let's go to the barracks as well.

Let's also do the pre-war mobilization order. "

The two walked out of the magistrate's back office and ran straight to the barracks where their own army was stationed.

When Zhifu Zhu saw that the two imperial envoys had left, he didn't dare to stay in the prefect's yamen for a long time. He also walked out of the yamen and went to arrange various tasks.

The imperial envoy said him just now, and he also understood what the imperial envoy meant!

If he can't defend this city, there is really no good fruit waiting for him!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu came to the barracks of the soldiers they brought with them, and saw that those soldiers were practicing under the leadership of Cao Qiubao!
When the soldiers saw the imperial envoy coming over, they worked harder in their drills.

These soldiers already knew by now that an unavoidable war had quietly come, and it was impossible to hide from it!

Since I can't escape, I have no choice but to strengthen my training desperately, so as to gain more vitality on the battlefield!

When Duan Wuji and the others saw these soldiers like this, they were really happy from the bottom of their hearts!

When Cao Qiubao saw Duan Wuji and the others coming, he hurried over.

"You two virtuous brothers, why are you here! Why, is there something wrong?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"The arrival of our two brothers, what good things can happen! Tomorrow we will go to war, tell the kitchen later, let's cook something delicious for the brothers tonight.

Once these soldiers go to the battlefield, they will not know whether they will live or die. It is not easy for brothers to come out with us brothers, and we brothers do not want to treat them badly! "

"Brother, what's the situation? Why is this battle starting right away!"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"What can we do about this? It's called the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!

Those barbarians are going to attack us, you say we don't fight back, why don't we just sit and wait for death! "

Duan Wuji shouted loudly to those soldiers: "Brothers, everyone, stop practicing and rest for a while.

Let me tell you some news, tomorrow we should send troops to fight. This time we are fighting against those barbarians. They moved to our country and even developed their own army without permission. Now they have posed a huge threat to our Nanning Prefecture.

Our expedition this time is to destroy them. We don't need to be polite to these barbarians. We can kill two, but we must not kill one.

Only by killing the enemy a lot can they be frightened. If they are not afraid of you, they will never submit to you!

When destroying the enemy, you don't need to distinguish men, women, old or young, as long as they are from that tribe, we will destroy them all physically. Being kind to the enemy is the greatest crime!

Brothers, do you all hear clearly? "

"Marshal, we all understand what you mean, kill! Kill! Kill all the enemies and leave no one alive!
Let the enemies disappear from this territory! "

When Duan Wuji and Tieniu heard what the soldiers said, they couldn't help laughing!

"Okay, that's what our brothers mean, to destroy the enemy's pure land, and leave a piece of pure land for descendants.

Now that you understand what our brothers mean, then we both can rest assured!

You rest, tomorrow morning, we will assemble the team, and after the expedition ceremony is held, we will set off immediately. "
