Chapter 409: The Unlucky Zuo Yu Lin Wei Changshi
Seeing this scene, Duan Shaojun really had a feeling of appreciating the martial arts style movies of Biansai. "What will happen to those guys?" He raised his horsewhip and pointed at the two unlucky ghosts who had been confiscated from their weapons, beaten their noses and swollen faces, and were escorted away, and asked the guards beside them.
This guard was originally a middle-aged man with a scarface who had been through a hundred battles with him and had been in the border area for many years. "Generally speaking, they would be taken to hard labor for a month or two and they might be released, but their weapons are not intended to be returned."
And the rider who escorted Duan Shaojun and his party here said with a smile. "That's another place, our Yunzhou City, after the general came, if it is a fist and foot fight, it will generally not be ignored, if the knife is moved, then it will be sent to the new barracks, first hard labor for three months, to contribute to the construction of the walled fort near Yunzhou City. After March, if the physique is qualified and willing to join the army, then you can officially join Zuo Yu Linwei, if you don't want to, then you can honestly go back from where you came. ”
"That's a good idea." Duan Shaojun touched his chin and thought deeply, against these brave and ruthless guys, don't you like white knives in and red knives out? Okay, then let you go to be a soldier, professional white knives in red knives out, not only is it not a crime, but also can be rewarded for meritorious service, maybe when you can mix a school captain and be a captain, at that time, I am afraid that it will be a wife and a son.
"But this doesn't seem to be in line with my Datang military order, right?" Qi Da touched his short beard and said with some hesitation.
"The Son of Heaven has a special order, Xu Zuoyu Lin Wei recruits athletes in the border fortress to fill the army." The cavalry smiled and said disapprerovingly: "At first, all the adults in the military department strongly objected, but the Son of Heaven insisted, not to mention that in the past few years, Yunzhou City has been guarded by Zuo Yulin, and gradually no one has said anything more." ”

The horseman sighed and continued to whisper. "What's more, over the years, there have been wars in the border area, but it is very difficult to replenish the army, many generals have done it quietly, and the court is more of a blind eye, as long as it does not lose territory and population. What's more, there is chaos in the country, and there are many people who are willing to come to the border army to eat and eat, maybe if they have the opportunity to make meritorious service and be rewarded, they will one day be able to make a wife and a son......"
Duan Shaojun could only be silent, it seems that the situation of the Tang Empire is really not optimistic. Not to mention internal troubles, external troubles have now become Datang's primary goal.
After decades of recuperation, the Qihu have integrated almost the entire land of Saibei, and their strength can only be described by all witnesses. And the Tang Dynasty, because more than ten years ago, because of the struggle for the throne, the northern Xinjiang was emptied, and even the horse grazing land in the Hetao area was also occupied by Qihu, which made the comparison of strength between the two sides more and more insignificant.
Today, it is not that he did not think about retaking the Hetao, but the domestic rebellions one after another have made the Tang military exhausted, and it is difficult to gather national strength to regain the most important horse grazing land in the Tang Dynasty.
Over time, today's Son of Heaven has already thrown his rights to Zhao Linfu, and he drilled into the harem to play the game of hide and seek with Chen Guifei every day, how could he still pay attention to this matter.
However, Duan Shaojun really admired Li Youwen, the general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei, from the bottom of his heart, as a weak woman, commanding an army, stationed in the border for a long time, and guarding the frontier for the country and the people. Such noble sentiments are not something that anyone can do.
Thinking of Zhao Linfu's kind of goods, under the current erosive situation of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Shaojun suddenly felt extremely painful, if he could have superpowers, it would be good to pinch that thing to death three thousand miles away, so as not to save the scourge of others.
It's a pity that this is not a fantasy time and space, there is no ** division tearing space, there is no Xianxia time and space, and there is no land pressure to play the nailhead Seven Arrows Book. If you want to kill Zhao Linfu, you can only figure it slowly, and now you can only stare dryly, and if you can keep your life and property safe under the calculation of that guy, you can count it as Amitabha.
More than fifty people came to the inn all of a sudden, Rao is this inn has a lot of rooms, but it can't bear it, Duan Shaojun had to send more than ten people to live in another inn. That's what it takes.
Although it is a side plug, the cattle and sheep are fat, and these things want to eat as much as they want. As for fine wine, yes, it has to cost a lot of money, after all, it is close to the military camp, so the ban is relatively strict.
Of course, as soon as he heard that Duan Shaojun was the new Zuo Yulin Guard who came to take office, the shopkeeper's face became more and more respectful and quietly looked at Duan Shaojun, but his expression looked a little weird, as if it was really so.
After taking a sip of what could only be regarded as ordinary wine syrup, he picked up the roasted lamb chops and took a bite, Duan Shaojun asked the shopkeeper who came over to listen to his orders. "I said shopkeeper, what kind of expression do you have, could it be that you have seen this official in the past?"
"No, no, absolutely not, Xiao Lao'er has never been to Jingshi in his life, how can he be lucky enough to meet a big man like you in Changshi?" The shopkeeper quickly shook his head and said with a look of certainty.
"Then why did you look at the official is, with a very strange expression, don't deny it, the official may not be able to do anything else, but these two tricks are so sharp and ruthless." Duan Shaojun said in a tone. The expressions of the guards next to him became very strange, and some people were even eating and snickering, for this kind of guard who had no loyalty as the main idea, Duan Shaojun wanted to clean up with righteous words.
However, seeing that the other party was just a soldier who escorted him to Dingxiang, he could only roll his eyes and be too lazy to care.
“…… Don't hide it from the big officials, Xiao Lao'er inherited his father's business here to open an inn when he was a child, and it has been about 40 years so far, and in the past three years, just Zuo Yulin Wei Changshi who came to Xiao Lao'er's shop, even if you count the big officials, a total of four came. The shopkeeper laughed dryly twice, then stretched out four fingers and dangled there.
Duan Shaojun suddenly felt extremely unlucky, rely on, the first three Changshi didn't end well, could it be that the reason for living in this old guy's inn was not successful?
The shopkeeper's proud look: "Not to mention anything else in Yunzhou City, the inn is the smallest, and the four seas inn of Xiao Lao'er is the largest, and it is also the cleanest and tidiest, compared to those inns that have been rebuilt from private houses, but I don't know how many times better." And Xiao Lao'er has a few delicious dishes here, even the generals often come to patronize them, and they are full of praise......"
"You stop first, you said, Zuo Yu Linwei's general also came to your store to eat?" Duan Shaojun touched his chin curiously and asked. That is the princess of Zhaoyang, what kind of delicacies and seas have not tasted, why do you just come to eat in your inn, although your taste is indeed good. However, if it is compared with the high-end restaurants in Jingshi, whether it is color, fragrance or grade, it is too different.
"That's right, this restaurant is definitely the best in Yunzhou City, the best cook, the best private room, of course the general will come to Xiao Lao'er." The old shopkeeper said indignantly, as if the melons he sold had been insulted.

Three days are coming in a blink of an eye, but those soldiers and cavalry are like years, because they have to wait until Duan Shaojun meets with the general before they can get the receipt and return to life, otherwise who knows where you sent people? Who knows if you are halfway through the way and want to slaughter the officials.
Early in the morning of the third day, the sky had just been polished, and Duan Shaojun, who had already finished washing and combing, had already changed into his official uniform and rode his horse straight into the barracks. Not long after entering the barracks, I heard the sound of drums beating and gathering generals.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Duan Shaojun was led to the big tent of the Chinese army. Perhaps because of the long-term station, this large tent of the Chinese army has been reinforced and expanded with wood, and there is not much of a military tent, but it looks like a flat-roofed building.
When I came here, I could see that the generals in helmet and armor were rushing here, one by one with solemn expressions, and even the familiar people greeted them very lowly, for Duan Shaojun, a civil official in official robes, he just glanced at it, his eyes were quite playful, and even some people were disdainful and mocking in their eyes.
But no one came to provoke or do anything, but walked directly into the big tent. This made Duan Shaojun stunned, this General Zuo Yu Lin Wei is too strict in governing the army, right?
