Chapter 29 A Man Worth a Hundred Thousand Taels of Silver

The alarm bell in Lantian County has finally sounded.

A large number of thieves have arrived east of Tongguan, and the displaced people who have come to Lantian County to seek refuge with relatives and friends have already brought the news over.

There was no panic in the whole county, and everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later, so there was no panic.

The group drill that should be assembled, silently put down the farm tools in his hands, or other livelihoods, put on simple bamboo armor, picked up the weapons that had been issued a long time ago, and reported to the lieutenant commander in a group of five, a team of ten, and a battalion of 100 people.

Then, the lieutenant commander led the team to hand over the hundred men to the centurion who had been selected a long time ago, and told the centurion that he could take good care of these people, and bring them back completely after the thieves retreated.

There was no crying, and there was no reluctance, the father scolded his young son to go home and work hard, the husband told his wife to take care of the homeland and not to make bad rumors, only some sturdy young people had no heart and lungs to go to the battlefield as soon as possible, and get some heads back to sell for money.

The lieutenant was gone, and so were the family members, and the centurion's usually kind face immediately became hideous, and he waved the whip in his hand with a horn.

Convey military discipline to these farmers over and over again.

After the formation of the hundred-person team, they went directly to the main road, and this time the destination of the Lantian County Summoning Group Training was in Phoenix Mountain.

A team of 100 people went on the road, and soon, there was a team of 100 people behind, when the two teams of 100 people converged, they would form a team, and after the remote Xianyang team of 100 people was trained into an army of 3,000 people, they walked across the edge of Xi'an City.

At this time, the city of Xi'an had already closed its gates, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, stood on the city wall and witnessed the armies passing by the city of Xi'an, unable to say a word.

"Why didn't the head of your Yun clan come to the governor's yamen to report on the transfer of troops?"

Lantian County regimental training envoy Yun bowed violently and said: "The county order does not oversee the regimental training, a certain family is a regimental training envoy." ”

"What are you going to do?" Sun Chuanting watched another thousand-person team walk past the edge of the city, and the two rows of teeth had already begun to collide involuntarily.

"Stick to Shangnan, don't allow Zhang Bingzhong, a thief, to rob Lantian County."

"Why don't you go to Tongguan?" Sun Chuanting tried his best to stand up straight.

"There is Xi'an City in front of Lantian County, and there is a Qin army led by the governor, what are we going to do there? Could it be that the governor would tolerate Li Hongji's thieves attacking Xi'an City? ”

Sun Chuanting retracted his trembling hands back into his sleeves, stared at Yun Meng and said, "You gathered the army just to protect Lantian County?" ”

Yun Meng said with a smile: "Sending the Lantian County regiment to practice fighting in other places, the people are not willing." These guys are all dogs in the nest, and even tigers dare to bark a few times when their backs are against the door, and when they leave the house, they can only put their tails between their hind legs and tremble. ”

"So, your Yun clan only cares about Lantian County?"

"It's not that my Yun clan only cares about Lantian County, it's that the people of my Lantian County only care about Lantian County!"

"There are many thieves in the world, and you just watch the land that erodes for thousands of miles?"

Yun Meng snorted and said: "It's good that the people of Lantian County care about Lantian County, it's good that the people of Chang'an County care about Chang'an County, it's good that the people of Shaanxi only care about Shaanxi, and the affairs of Henan are the affairs of the young men in Henan, and they don't protect their own homes, so what does it have to do with us?" ”

"If everyone were as selfish as you are, the world would have died a long time ago." Sun Chuanting was furious when he heard this kind of selfish words.

Yun Meng said lightly: "If the people of the whole world are willing to build their own homes and protect their homes like Lantian County, don't say that they are just rogues, even if Jiannu comes, they just come and go." ”

"You guys"

Sun Chuanting only felt that his heart hurt so badly that he couldn't think of the right words to refute Yun Meng's nonsense.

"The people of Lantian County have nothing until now they have abundant food and clothing, all of which we have done with our own hands, we build canals in winter, just to have water to water the crops in spring, and we plant seeds in spring so that we can harvest grain in autumn.

The sins we suffered a few years ago made us dare not believe people like the governor, and we believed in ourselves even more, the thieves wanted to come and steal our food, and we fought hard with the thieves, it was such a simple truth, the farmer did not know other big truths, there was nothing to say. ”

Sun Chuanting struggled to stand up straight, and said lightly: "This means that you don't allow anyone to steal your food, right?" ”

Yun Meng's eyes widened and said, "We planted the grain, why should others grab it?" ”

"The government can't make a conscription?"

"We've paid our taxes!"

Yun Meng didn't wait for Sun Chuanting to say anything more, and immediately blocked Sun Chuanting's mouth with words.

"It's been almost a year since the governor came to my Shaanxi, and you should know that Lantian County has never defaulted on taxes to the imperial court, and we have never owed a single penny even for unreasonable salaries.

Could it be that the governor is not satisfied? ”

Sun Chuanting saw another team of heavily armed regimental trainers walking under his nose, and slowly sat down on the chair and asked Yun Meng.

"Can you make sure that Zhang Bingzhong is not allowed to come over from Shangnan County?"

Yun Meng nodded heavily and said: "If Zhang Bingzhong appears in front of the governor from Lantian County, there is only one possibility, that is, the men in Lantian County have died in battle. ”

After speaking, he beckoned, and his own soldiers put a wooden box in Yun Meng's hand, Yun Meng opened the wooden box and pointed to the human head inside and said: "We have killed the messenger sent by Zhang Bingzhong, and there is also a letter written by Zhang Bingzhong, which is also dedicated to the governor, in order to show the determination of the people of Lantian County to kill the enemy and protect their homeland." ”

Sun Chuanting looked at the wooden box sent by Yun Meng, his face showed a trace of sadness, took the wooden box and put it on his knees, and said to Yun Meng: "Go, guard Shangnan County, although Shangnan County also has a county order, but I know that Shangnan County is actually Lantian County, right?" ”

Yun Meng nodded and said: "The people of Lantian County are all a group of farmers who admit their deaths, and the boundary monument of Lantian County is there, so we think that the boundary of Lantian County is there."

Of course, everyone within the boundary monument has to pay taxes to the imperial court! ”

"These taxes have to be paid to the Lantian County Ya, right?" Sun Chuanting could clearly hear the sound of his teeth rubbing.

Yun Meng said in surprise: "If you don't hand it over to the county government, will you hand it over to my family?" This is a great sin of rebellion, and we cannot afford it anyway!

Liu Shen, Master Liu, come quickly, the governor is questioning my Lantian County's account books again. ”

Sun Chuanting watched the gray-haired Lantian County chief bookkeeper hold a huge wooden box at his feet and said proudly: "Please check it, if there is something wrong, please cut off my head at that time!"

If the governor still doesn't get rid of his hatred, he can peel the skin of a certain family! ”

Sun Chuanting turned around to look at the officials of Xi'an Mansion, and he suddenly found that those officials did not pay attention to what was happening here, and they were pointing at the group drills who were going away one by one, and their faces were not carefree, and Lao Ruyi, the prefect of Xi'an Mansion, was even full of praise for the majestic momentum of the group exercises.

"If the governor has no other orders, he will retire from his humble position, and if he can't reach Phoenix Mountain in the afternoon four days later, his humble head will not be guaranteed."

Sun Chuanting waved his hand, and Yun Meng hugged his fists and retreated.

Seeing Yun Meng leading more than 100 horses out of Xi'an City, Sun Chuanting no longer had the mood to stay on the city wall to watch the regimental exercises march, and returned to the yamen with a gloomy face.

Before he walked into the lobby, he slapped his face on the table and roared: "The harm of the Yun clan is better than that of Zhang and Li's two thieves!" ”

Yun Zhao naturally couldn't hear Sun Chuanting's roar in Phoenix Mountain, watched a group of warriors enter the Phoenix Mountain camp, and said to Ai Nengqi, who was standing beside him: "Tell your eight kings that you have entered Lantian County when you die." ”

Ai Nengqi sneered and said, "A few miscellaneous soldiers can also block my king's million male soldiers?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at Ai Nengqi and laughed, and the laughing Ai Nengqi was red-faced, and then said: "It's true that your king has coerced more than 100,000 homeless people, and there are no more than 63,400 people with weapons in their hands.

Of these 63,400 people, only 51,200 are truly trusted by your king, and there are only 51,200 available men.

This already includes the 40,000 people in the hands of you Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, and Liu Wenxiu, and it would be ridiculous for you to say anything about the million army at this time. ”

Ainengqi looked at the young man, who was ten years younger than himself, and said in a deep voice, "How did you know this news? ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "You are not the only ones in the army of your eight kings, the Yun clan is also from the green forest, if you want to know some news, there is still a way."

You know, there are always people who don't want to wander with you......

In addition, since the Eight Kings want to borrow the Tao, why did they send you? ”

Ai Nengqi said expressionlessly: "Who do you want to come?" ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Li Dingguo, I really miss him!" ”

"How are you doing when he comes?"

Yun Zhao looked at Ai Nengqi with a smile and said, "I'll leave him behind!" ”

Ai Nengqi looked at Yun Zhao and said, "It seems that you plan to keep me?" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "You think wrong, I only want Li Dingguo, you go back and ask the Eight Kings, can you give Li Dingguo to me, I will give back to the Eight Kings with 100,000 taels of silver!" ”
