ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 399 "Border Military Affairs"

After coming out of Duan's mansion, it was still early for lunch, and nine fast horses galloped towards the gate of the city.

Ah Zhen, who was straddling his horse, led the crowd out of the city. Facing the cool breeze, they looked at the green mountains and plains. Not long after, a large number of military fortresses appeared in sight.

When Cao Zong and others returned from the Liao Kingdom, the major guards were ordered to garrison the border. Although Yingying didn't think that anyone would dare to invade when they were victorious, the duty of the major guards was to guard the border. , unless there is a change in the royal court or the emperor calls, it is extremely difficult to leave the boundaries of one's own jurisdiction.

The military administration of Tubo is very different from that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Dadu Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty was just a shepherd guard, and there was a military department controlling it.But Tubo's Daduhu is completely different. Tubo has granted great power to the Daduhu who is stationed in the pasture, and the direct power is the supreme commander of the army, not the military department that stays in the middle of the court.

This time Tubo attacked Liao, most of the guards were not many, and Qu Qu was only 10,000. Most of these 10,000 guards returned to their own territory, and the soldiers who took away also reached [-]+. Although a large number of soldiers were lost, those who The addition of the forbidden army who did not participate in the war and the remaining [-]+ soldiers is also amazing.

Wang Man was kicked by Ah Zhen to the northwest to pick up sheep excrement. Two old generals, Situ Zong and Chu Ningheng, were placed in Baicheng and Yansi by Yingying. Duan Ying was still seriously injured, so in this huge army, only the commander Cao Zong, the general Yuan Ming, and the left and right pioneers were in charge.

Before approaching the military stronghold, the sound of soldiers training burst through the air.The yelling sound from the huge throat was even more audible, and he couldn't help but think of the brainless emperor brother of Liao Kingdom.

The endless armies are lined up neatly and orderly to practice. The generals lead their subordinates and wave sharp spears in front of their generals. The armor of the powerful men is soaking wet. Generally in the water.

"Stop." At the gate of the village of Tingshen on the bamboo raft, many soldiers didn't know what these people were going to do, so they blocked them outside.

When he ran to the gate of the village, Ah Zhen got off his horse, stepped forward with a whip in his hand and shouted: "Open the door."

The doorman who didn't know him saw such an imposing manner, his mind was at a loss for a moment, and when he was about to ask again, the deputy capital commander's anxious roar came from behind him.

"Quickly open the gate."

There was a violent roar, and the guards couldn't wait any longer, and carried the huge gate to the left.

Jiao She, who was about to go back to the city, suddenly saw the king coming. He was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly stepped forward to kneel down and said: "My servant bows down to see the king, and the king has a long life."

Seeing the vice president bowing down and shouting, Dagan hurriedly knelt down and finally saw the rumored king. He did not expect to be so young and so majestic.

As soon as the gate of the village was opened, Ah Zhen walked in with his hands behind his back, inhaling the smell of weapons and iron armor, and the aftertaste was intense.

Jiao She didn't know what he was going to do, seeing him walking into the village, he quickly followed behind, feeling very strange.The commander and the others are not in the camp, why is he here?

After walking a long way, breathing in the nostalgic air, Ah Zhen called out: "Take me to the handsome tent?"

Jiao She heard that he was going to the commander-in-chief tent, Xiao Pao stepped forward and asked, "The king is looking for Cao Shuai?"

"What?" Ah Zhen stopped, turned around suspiciously and asked, "Is he not there?"

"Yes." Jiao She was also suspicious, Cao Shuai only came to inspect in the afternoon, usually in the military office in the city, why did the king come here to look for it?

When Ah Zhen heard him say yes, his eyebrows frowned, "This Cao Zong." He is even more foolish than him, and he hasn't come to the camp yet. "Where did you go?"

Jiao She listened to his bad tone, carefully replied: "In the military office."

"Military office?" Suddenly hearing this word, Ah Zhen was stunned, and asked strangely: "What is an army office?"

Jiao She was stunned, looked at him and said in a daze, "A military office is a military office." What are you asking?

Ah Zhen was even more at a loss when he heard his incoherent words, "Neng Wu, what is a military office?"

"Master, the military office is next door to the military office. It is Cao Shuai's office, which handles some important military and political affairs."

"So that's the case." Just say that the military commander is not good, who knows what military office is.

Seeing that he understood, Jiao She asked weakly, "Does Your Majesty want to come and see?"

"No need." Listening to the sounds of training, he knew that these soldiers were practicing very hard, so it's better not to surprise them.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the gate in a hurry. These big-tailed people are all in the military office, what is he doing here alone.

At noon, the sun was shining and the people were drowsy. After entering the city, the nine of them found a restaurant at random, and then had a big meal. After eating, Ah Zhen felt even more sleepy.

Weary all over, he dozed off behind Li Nengwu.

In front of a majestic building, Li Nengwu stopped, "Young Master Junya has arrived."

Ah Zhen, who had half-closed his eyes and dozed off, staggered when he heard the call, and the seven captains around him rushed to support him, otherwise this shit-eating fall would definitely hit him.

"Master, are you okay?" Li Nengwu asked with concern as he saw that he almost fell to the ground, supporting him tightly.

"It's okay." After standing still, he waved away the hands supported by everyone, twisted his head, lifted his spirits, and walked up the steps.

Halfway up the steps, Ah Zhen saw the guards at the door stepping forward, not allowing them to speak first, and asked, "You must ask me who I am, right?"

The soldier who hadn't spoken yet, seeing how understanding he was, nodded in a daze.

Sure enough, Ah Zhen stepped forward with satisfaction, and asked with a smile at the bewildered soldiers, "Is Cao Zong in there?"

Seeing him walking up without stopping, the soldiers shouted angrily: "Bold, how dare you call the commander-in-chief by his first name."

"I even called Daba's name, why didn't I dare to call Cao Zong's name?"

Following his words, the sixteen soldiers at the door took a breath, and raised all the guns around them in the haze.

Seeing this, Li Nengwu stepped forward and yelled: "Presumptuous, the king is here, hurry up and back down."

"Great King?" When the soldiers heard this term, they were so brave that they instantly became like bears. They all looked at each other, and sweat poured down from their bodies.

Although I don't know if it's true or not, my legs were naturally limp and I knelt down on the ground, exclaiming in surprise, "My lord, spare me."

"Be polite to others, don't yell and shout at every turn, you know?" These soldiers are all holding arrows and flags as generals, pretending to be powerful.

"Yes"

"Stand back."

"Thank you, Great King." The 16 terrified people's hearts were trembling, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes. They retreated to the steps in fear and welcomed him into the yamen.

Before stepping into the lobby, Ah Zhen yelled loudly, "Cao Zong, I'm here."

The yamen officials sitting on both sides heard this rude shout, all raised their concentrated heads, and their brows were wrinkled.

Cao Zong, who was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat lunch, stood up in great surprise when he heard the familiar shout, and hurried to the door of the hall, and paid homage to the figure who had just arrived: "I kowtow to see the king, but I don't know that the king is coming. Welcome "

"Okay, let's get up." It's been a long time since I saw this two stupefied, Ah Zhen was very happy.

All the officials who were wondering who was shouting loudly in the military yamen, when they heard the commander-in-chief say it was the king, they immediately stood up in fright, and when they saw him walk into the hall, they knelt down and shouted together: "Longevity and longevity, great king."

Ah Zhen, who entered the hall, saw that there were densely packed tables on both sides, and there were countless official documents on the tables, so he waved happily in his heart and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, my lord."

Cao Zong, who got up, followed him anxiously, and asked in surprise, "My lord, why are you here?"

Ah Zhen, who didn't answer, walked to the table, pointed to the mess on the table, and asked curiously: "What are you busy with?"

Hearing his question, Cao Zong quickly picked up a letter on the table, cheered and said: "My lord, please come here to ask for an order. It's autumn, can you move the camp originally stationed in Yunshan to Jihe?" side?"

Ah Zhen was speechless after hearing his words, he came to visit him, not to help him solve these bad things.

"Cao Zong, you can decide for yourself."

"There must be a decree for the transfer of the army. "If you want to transfer troops to fight against the bandits, you don't need to ask for a decree, but you need to report the transfer of camps. How dare he make such a decision.

"Then just go to Daba or the queen, I'm not asking about these." One push four five six.

"Yes." Cao Zong was silent.

"Uh!" He thought for a while and said: "When autumn comes, the dead leaves are falling, and it is very dangerous to rely on the mountains."

"What the king said is very true." Cao Zong nodded again and again, that's what he meant.After the battle of Qin Shan, he was scared even when he saw Shan.

"But it was raining continuously in autumn, and camping by the riverside was not ideal."

"Where is the camp?"

"Should be stationed on flat high ground."

"Yes." Cao Zong agreed and was overjoyed.It's still the king's idea.

"My lord, this is Zhengxi"

Ah Zhen, who came up with an idea, almost bit his own tongue, and his face turned black. Why did he come to Cao Zong when he had nothing to do?

As soon as the fan was put down, he turned around and walked into the table, and the freshman sat down, "Come on, what else is there?"

"Yes." Cao Zong was pleasantly surprised, took out a piece of documents from the large pile of documents and said: "The Yellow River in Eling is full of river bandits. "

"What's the matter? Is the Protector of Zhengxi not compatible with Zhaling Navy?" "What kind of ghost document is this?"

Cao Zong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said cautiously: "The daughter of Zhaling Navy Master Huixiao married Duantai, the capital of Zhengxi, as his wife."

"Since they are relatives-in-law, how can they submit this strange document?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something." Cao Zong sighed and said: "Five years ago, Duan Tai entered the house as a concubine, and Hui Xiao's daughter was dissatisfied. The two fought, and then Duan Tai divorced his wife, so"

"So that's it." Ah Zhen nodded, thought for a while and smiled: "Tell Duan Tai, saying that the king was very upset when he heard this, and reprimanded him for being unmanly, and then reprimanded Hui Xiao's daughter. Do it."

"Yes." Your Majesty is too stupid, he and his wife have been separated for five years, and they still go to this business.

"Well." After Cao Zongying came, Ah Zhen immediately put on a serious face, re-patted the table and was furious: "I immediately passed it on to Hui Xiao, telling him that the king is very angry, and the river bandits are rampant. The foundation of the country. Ask him if he still wants to be the admiral of the navy? Tell him to unite with Duantai within ten days to wipe out this group of river bandits.

Seeing that he was furious, everyone in the hall was startled and dripping with cold sweat.

"Yes, yes, your majesty calm down." Cao Zong was trembling, he didn't understand how this small group of river bandits could make his uncle so angry.

"Hmm." After finishing his anger, he sat down and asked calmly, "What else?"

Cao Zong was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at him stupidly, his uncle was very angry just now, right?Why did he seem to be fine all of a sudden, the corners of his mouth were still raised.

"Cao Zong" Ah Zhen saw him dumbfounded, raised his eyes and called out.Does he still want to report?

"Yes yes yes." Called back to his senses, he immediately picked up the paperwork and said: "The commander of the Daduhe Army came to report that the Maozhou, Chengdu, and Yazhou troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty had pushed forward fifty miles to the border, and asked if they could send the troops to the border. advance?"

"No, just tell them to stay at ease. If the Zhou army dares to step into our Tubo territory, we will immediately send troops to beat them back regardless of the reason."

"Yes."

"The Commander Xiangqing stationed by the Great Wall wrote that a large number of soldiers and horses were mobilized on the border of Liao Kingdom."

"Have you crossed the border of our country?"

"Not yet."

"Don't ask Xiangqing's army to be suspicious. If there is no Liao country, please cross our border and report immediately."

"Yes."

After taking a sip of tea and listening to the documents in an orderly manner, the sun gradually set.

Cao Zong, who had a dry mouth and tongue, said that his throat was dry. Unbelievable, he picked up the last piece of paper and said: "Dali Luopan came to write, the Li Dynasty is in civil turmoil, and a large number of people are pouring into our Tubo. Do you want to stop it?"

"Civil strife in Vietnam?" Zhen, who wanted to open Haikou, was shocked when he heard the news.

Cao Zong heard him say an unknown name, and asked: "What is Vietnam?"

"Oh, Li Chao, that's Li Chao." Excited Ah Zhen stood up and urged with all his strength: "Tell me, what's going on?"

After nodding, he hurriedly said: "Li Guoliang died suddenly, his third son competed with the seventh son for the heir, and Shenglong was caught in a sea of ​​flames." Why doesn't the king know?The prime minister mentioned it yesterday morning.

"Shanglong?" Ah Zhen, who muttered to himself, asked, "What is a rising dragon?" "Street Fighter?"

"Shanglong is the capital of the Li Dynasty." This king is a bit messed up.

"So that's it." The happy Ah Zhen smiled softly, nodded and said: "Give 20 taels to Luopan Capital and order him to cooperate with the border garrison. Set up a refugee area to accommodate these refugees who fled to our country." Empress Yin asked insidiously: "What's the name of the Compass Chief Protector?"

"Ante."

"Okay, tell Ante to pay close attention to Li Chao's every move, and quietly reveal the news, saying that I, Tubo, can help them quell the civil strife."

Hearing the end, Cao Zong was shocked and urged: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. Li Chao has never had any contact with our country, so there is no need to help them."

"I don't want to help them, I want Li Chao."

"Your Majesty wants Li Chao?" Li Chao is poor, worse than Tubo, why do you want Li Chao?
Seeing him in a daze, Ah Zhen pursed his lips and laughed, "Hello Li Chao, you just need to ask Ante to release this news secretly."

"Yes." The unclear Cao Zong carefully asked again: "I don't know if the king wants to help the third prince or the seventh prince."

"Which one is stronger and smarter?"

"The wisdom of the third prince is much higher than that of the seventh prince."

"Okay, then help the Seventh Prince."

Cao Zong is stupid, why did the king do the opposite? "Your Majesty, this is?"

"Oh, you don't need to know." After finishing speaking, he sat down and urged: "Keep reading."

"My lord, it's gone." It took him three days to process the documents, but he solved them in less than an afternoon. This level of skill is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"It's over?"
