Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 19 Bad news

"That's true!" Liu An nodded: "I heard that this guy is secretly engaged in human trafficking, transporting the women from Baekje back to sell them as Silla maidservants, and now the masters from Luoxia and Chang'an I like it the most, one can be sold for hundreds of guan, so what is a thousand guan worth to him!"

"Let's not talk about that!" Wang Wenzuo said: "Time is tight now, you and I will go to those shops to check the inventory first, otherwise it will be a disaster if someone gets in first!"

Baekje Palace, Tang Jun Dudu Mansion.

When the marching commander Shi Dushuang entered the door, Liu Renyuan was alone, with the oil lamp at his elbow emitting a soft light, leaning over to look at the map on the table, making a mark on it with a charcoal pencil from time to time.

"Guardian, it's almost time for the first update!"

Liu Renyuan raised his head and rubbed his dazed eyes: "It's already so late? Why don't I feel anything?"

"Although the military affairs are busy, you should also pay attention to your health!" Du Shuang sat down opposite Liu Renyuan: "Mr. Liu, there is news!"

"What?" Liu Renyuan was overjoyed, and stood up from his chair: "Really, did the reinforcements arrive?"

"Look!" Du Shuang took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over. After Liu Renyuan confirmed that the seal was correct, he opened it and read it carefully. As time passed, the excitement on his face gradually disappeared, and finally he sighed. He said: "I never thought that Wang Wendu would die at this juncture. Could it be that God blesses me, Datang?"

"That's right!" Du Shuang sighed, "At first, I hoped that Governor Wang would bring new troops to help, but now even if the court appoints new people to replace them, it will take a month or two every time. It's really worse!"

It turns out that Wang Wendu in the population of Liu Renyuan and Du Shuang was the governor of the Xiongjin Dudu Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. After Su Dingfang pacified Baekje, he took Liu Renyuan as the general guard and led [-] troops to guard the old capital of Baekje. The chief executive is not him, but this one.This person led the army across the sea from Shandong, and landed at Sananshan City (located at Wuding Mountain, Uam-ri, Boeun-eup, Boeun-eup, Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea, and it is the closest important military base in Silla to the mouth of the Baekchon River in Silla).Due to the turbulent wind and waves, Wang Wendu became ill after crossing the sea. He went to Silla to read the edict of canonization to King Jin Chunqiu of Silla, and suddenly died suddenly. Even the canonization ceremony was completed by his subordinates.It is undoubtedly a bad news for Liu Renyuan and the others to lose the coach without firing an arrow.

"Since this is the case, we can only count on ourselves! Du Changshi!" Liu Renyuan walked to the map: "What do you think our top priority should be now?"

"Sibi City is the old capital of Baekje, and the city walls are strong! But it may not be enough to defend only by the city walls. From what I see below, we must erect fences at dangerous places outside the city as a barrier!"

"Well, then we will start erecting fences tomorrow!" Liu Renyuan stretched out his finger and clicked twice on the map: "Here, and here!"

wine shop.

"This is the account book of these shops. I have already copied it in one book!" Wang Wenzuo gave a huff and handed the account book to Liu An: "Wu Lang, first check if there is anything wrong in it!"

Liu An picked up the account book in doubt, and just flipped through two pages when he was confused by the rows of numbers inside, he hurriedly handed it to the next person: "Hongdu, why don't you take a look, I have no problem !"

"I'm fine too!"

"Me too!"

The account book quickly passed through the hands of everyone at the table and returned to Wang Wenzuo's hand. He was angry and funny: "You guys didn't read it at all. This is not my business alone!"

"We all trust you!" Cui Hongdu responded the fastest.

"Yes, Saburo, we can rest assured that you will do things!"

"Correct!"

The people at the table are all generations of military households, who are familiar with walking horses, bending bows, wearing armor and dancing sticks, but they have a headache when they see the counting chips and account books.Seeing this, Wang Wenzuo could only sigh: "Okay, since this is the case, then follow my way! These shops will be contracted to the original shopkeepers in the first month, and they have to pay the quota to us, and the rest are theirs. .In order to prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos and looting, two sergeants are sent to guard each store every day, and each team takes turns to draw people, how about it?"

"it is good!"

Everyone said yes, Wang Wenzuo shook his head helplessly: "Then let's stop here today! I hope everything goes well in the future!"

The sergeants lined up in a neat phalanx. The cold wind passed by and blew on their faces like a sharp knife, but no one moved, like Shi Wengzhong next to the Shinto.

"With Liu'an as the captain of Guoyi, lead the guards of Qingzhou Prefecture; take Wang Wenzuo as the captain of Xuanjie, as the general of Zhechong Prefecture..."

The marching Sima's voice was loud and melodious, and could be heard clearly even in the last row of the phalanx.Wang Wenzuo tried his best to keep himself calm, but the corner of his mouth was still hooked up subconsciously——finally he got rid of his identity as a soldier leader and joined the ranks of generals.According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the chief officer of the Zhechong Mansion was Captain Zhechong, and Captain Guo Yi served as the deputy general. Liu An commanded the soldiers from the Qingzhou Zhechong Mansion as the deputy general of the Qingzhou Zhechong Mansion; As Liu An's deputy.Although there are only 700 sergeants in the entire Qingzhou Zhechong Mansion in the city, he can finally get rid of the fate of cannon fodder—or a relatively high-level cannon fodder.

"Saburo, congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

"This is a great joy!"

Embarrassed, he responded to the compliments from his colleagues. Wang Wenzuo was about to go to congratulate Liu An, but he found that Liu An, who had come from the marching army Sima, had an ugly expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"Our defense zone is outside the city!" Liu An said bitterly, "The higher-ups told us to set up a fence at Erzagang!"

"Erza Hill? Wouldn't that be the first to bear the brunt?" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help taking a breath. He was very familiar with the terrain around Sibi City. Erza Ridge is a hill outside the east gate of Sibi City. The terrain is not steep , but the location is very important. If the rebels want to attack the east gate of Sibi City, the defenders on Erzagang can assault its side.So once the rebels come to attack, Erzagang will inevitably bear the brunt.

"Yes, this official is really not Bai Sheng!" Liu An sighed: "Sanlang, let's go and see the terrain first, how to set up a fence!"

Outside the east gate, Erzagang.

"It's too dangerous, cut down all these trees!" Liu An pointed to the forest on the right side of the hill, the road leading to the east gate of Sibi City bypassed the edge of the forest and extended to the end of the field of vision.

"I'm afraid this is beyond our ability!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "This forest is too big and too dense!"

Liu An didn't speak, he twitched his horse's stock, and walked towards the woods below the post, followed closely by Wang Wenzuo.The thin snow on the ground shattered under the horse's hooves, like brittle bones. The wind blew, and the fallen leaves rustled. The trees were very close to each other, blocking the slanting sunlight. Liu An seemed to feel countless cold fingers running along his back. Climb slowly.
