Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 238 Soldiers Crossing the Yellow River
"Don't you see, Han Junjun, the weak crown is a prisoner, please Changying."

"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!"

·······
The six hundred warriors set off singing the military song together. This military song is the military song of Changbai Mansion, and it was also written by Luo Cheng, with a total of [-] lines.In fact, the original work is an anti-Japanese military song of later generations. Luo Cheng liked this song very much, so he used it to make the military song of Changbai Mansion.

Six hundred athletes sang in unison, with a powerful momentum.

On the city floor.

Zhang Yichen, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui stood there watching the army go far away.

The three of them stood there, listening to the majestic military song, and even tapped their fingers lightly on the city wall involuntarily.

"It's said that Luo Cheng is just a martial artist, but listening to this song makes me ashamed."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Listen to this sentence, a man should be in danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss his life? This Luo Wulang looks down on us Confucian crowns, hahaha."

Du Ruhui said, "This sentence does not mean to look down on me and other scholars, it should be a word of provocation here."

All three of them sighed.

"I hope Luo Cheng can return triumphantly, but I may not be able to wait until this day." Zhang Yichen patted the railing, "I'm leaving soon, but I really miss Zhangqiu City."

"It's a happy event for the emperor to be promoted."

In the past two years, Zhangqiu has had a lot of major incidents, and he has been stabbed in the court several times, but although there are many incidents, he handles them well every time.Especially after Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took office, this small place has attracted the attention of the court chiefs even more.

As Zhang Yichen, who has served in Zhangqiu for three years, the final comment above said that although there are minor faults, but the merit ratio is too high, it can be regarded as a fault that does not conceal the merits, so he was directly promoted.

Zhang Yichen's family also took care of it, so this time he was promoted to the post of the sixth-rank Sili governor of Silitai.

There were fourteen governors of Sili in the Sui Dynasty, but this governor was different from the governor of the state during Emperor Wen's time.During the time of Emperor Wendi, the two-level system of prefectures and counties was implemented throughout the country, and the governor was the governor of the state, but now the two-level system of prefectures and counties is implemented, and the state level has been abolished.

However, there were fourteen Si Li governors in the Daye Emperor Dynasty. These fourteen governors were actually officials affiliated to Si Litai, with sixth-rank official positions.

In the Sui Dynasty, there were five provinces and six ministries, nine temples and five prisons, twelve guards and four mansions, and three towers.

These three are Yushitai, Silitai and Yezhetai.

At the beginning of Yang Guang's succession to the throne, he dismissed the censor and went straight to the forbidden system, so the censor platform became a relatively independent central full-time supervisory agency, and the censor was also transferred from the emperor's supervisor to the national supervisor.

The censors are in charge of picketing and impeachment.

And Yang Guang set up Yezhetai and Silitai as inspection agencies.

Among them, the duties of Yezhetai are to send envoys under the imperial edict, to comfort and inquire, and to observe the rules.

Silitai is in charge of inspecting the inside and outside of Gyeonggi.

In fact, this Si Li governor is actually Yang Guang who divided the inspectors and inspectors from the Han and Wei dynasties into one, and set up a Si Li governor. Shou, report to the meritorious local officials, and encourage them.

However, although the fourteen Sili governors patrolled separately, for example, there was a Sili governor who was in charge of Henan Province, but the governors patrolled places regularly every year and did not have a fixed office.

This is actually equivalent to the Central Inspection Team.

Fang Xuanling's father, Fang Yanqian, used to be the governor of the Sili. Although this is not a high-ranking official, he is definitely a powerful and noble official.

From a seventh-rank county magistrate to a sixth-rank Sili governor, this is definitely a high promotion.

"In the future, Inspector Zhang will patrol Henan separately, we will have to rely on you more." Du Ru said with a dark smile.

Zhang Yichen was promoted to governor of Sili, and he was assigned to patrol the Henan province.But when he left, the vacated post of county magistrate was taken over by county lieutenant Du Ruhui. As for county magistrate Fang Xuanling, he was also transferred to Qi County this time, serving as the seventh-rank chief secretary of Qi County.

The three of them watched Luo Cheng go away, and they all knew that in the past two years in Zhangqiu, if Luo Cheng hadn't stirred up the water in the pond, there really wouldn't have been such great political achievements. It can be said that the three of them were promoted , it's all due to Luo Cheng's contribution.

Luo Cheng rode his horse and galloped all the way, leaving Zhangqiucheng far behind. He knew that everyone was still watching him, so he was afraid of this concern, so he simply ran a little bit.

The team went north, heading for the ferry of the Yellow River.

The route they went north this time was to go directly north, instead of going west along the Jishui River first, and then going north after reaching the canal.Although it is convenient to take a boat on the canal, it is winter now, the Yellow River is frozen, and the canal to the north is even more frozen, so the boat cannot go.What's more, they also brought a lot of mules and horses supplies, so they simply went directly to Hebei.

At this time, the new year has just passed, and there are still several months before the arrival date set by the Ministry of War. Although the arrival date has been changed from July to April, there are still nearly three months to go, so it is not very urgent. .

Luo Cheng's team was huge, with six hundred soldiers, about three hundred horses and four hundred horses and mules.Each of the [-] cavalry had a war horse, regardless of foot and cavalry, each ten men had six pack horses or mules, and the officers above the head of the team all had mounts, and Luo Cheng's direct subordinate team also had light cavalry.

So many horses and thirty carts.

It can be described as mighty, but fortunately, the army was marching in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Everyone only needed to carry a small amount of food and grass, and the rest could be taken from the government offices along the way.

On the first day, after walking forty miles, Luo Cheng simply ordered to camp and rest.

The next day, I walked an extra [-] miles and walked [-] miles.

Every ten miles he walked, Luo Cheng asked the team to stop for a while to recuperate, and he had to rest for half an hour after walking twenty miles.Every afternoon, it was still very early, and they began to stop marching and prepare to set up camp.

Although they were marching within the territory, the Ministry of War also had requirements, and they were prohibited from entering the city.Along the way, they can only camp in the wild, even if there are towns and villages along the way, they are not allowed to enter the city or village, they can only camp in the wild, and they cannot destroy the crops or the like.

Fortunately, this is winter, although it is a bit cold in the wild, but there are many places to camp.

After a few days, everyone quickly got used to this marching rhythm.

It was not bright in the morning, and I got up listening to the ox horn, washed and ate, fed the horses, and then loaded the things into the car and loaded the horses to set off. After half an hour, I began to choose a place to camp, cook and rest.

If there are villages, towns and cities next to them, people will be sent into the city to buy meat and vegetables, and if they encounter a big city, they will also go into the city to receive food and grass.

When they came out, each soldier brought nine buckets of food, but after walking for many days, they didn't use it at all. Every time they passed through a city, they took food from the nearest place to supplement it.

And everyone eats well, the food is pretty good, the fresh vegetables are never broken, and you can often eat some fish and meat, even if it is sometimes inconvenient to buy, there are also bacon sausages brought by the military mansion, steamed rice Put some in it when it's time, it's salty and fragrant.

It took four days for Luo Cheng and his party to reach the edge of the Yellow River. They rented many boats and took a whole day to cross the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, it entered the boundary of Hebei.

On the north bank, there is a pass city, Lujiao pass, beside the ferry.

Lujiaoguan Town General looked at Luo Cheng's well-equipped and energetic guard soldiers, and nodded, "These soldiers look very capable, maybe we can ask them for help."
