Volume 1 Chapter 462 The Moonlit Night Cavalry March
After all, the wages of this era are allowed to be rice and silk, but the share of copper coins is smaller. Think about it, in addition to these gate lords and nobles in Guanzhong, they also need to pay the military salaries and salaries of the 16 Guards and Forbidden Army stationed in Guanzhong, and even more need to pay the salaries of the officials in Beijing.
In addition, if Guanzhong suffers a famine, it also needs to be appeased by the court, so in order to ensure that Guanzhong has enough money and grain just in case, this will build a large warehouse in Guanluo to store money and grain.
Hearing my words, Fang Xuanling nodded approvingly. "If the lord goes to deal with it in person, it's not impossible, but there are too few soldiers and horses in a division, after all, after this information is transmitted, no one knows what has happened to Lu Dao, according to the minister's opinion, it is best to invite the generals to come and discuss before sending troops."
At this time, I actually saw Li Shimin, Yaoguang sister and Li Xuanba appear outside the door, damn, these three brothers and sisters are coming?
"Why are you here?" Ben Gongzi waved his hand to Fang Xuanling, and then stepped forward to ask.
"What's the matter, the little brother came to see his uncle, and you don't welcome the brother?" Li Shimin said with a smile, and the Yaoguang girl next to him also nodded. "My mother asked my brother to come over to visit my aunt, and my little sister has nothing to do at home, so naturally I went over with my second brother to visit my aunt, hey, Fang Shangshu is also there?"
"It turned out to be Li Sanniang and two Li Gongzi, Fang Mou is polite." Fang Xuanling squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to greet him.
"Coming to see Brother Wuji late at night, shouldn't it be a big deal?" Sister Yaoguang saw Fang Xuanling's expression, and couldn't help but look at me and asked.
Looking at the clear eyes of the Yaoguang girl, I could only nod and smile bitterly: "Look at it, the Chen family in Yanxian County killed the tax official because he was unwilling to pay taxes, and now, together with many gentry in Yanxian County who are unwilling to pay taxes, they have entangled more than 2,000 young people and stormed the county seat of Yanxian County." ”
Hearing this, the three Li brothers and sisters who came here couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Brother Wuji, how is the county now?" Sister Yaoguang bit her lip, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
"It's not clear for the time being, but each county can garrison a battalion, and in a county, there are only 100 garrisons, and there are more than 2,000 mobs attacking the county, I'm afraid it's ......" I replied with a leisurely sigh.
Hearing this, Yaoguang and the others couldn't help but feel gloomy. Just a moment later, the Yaoguang girl raised her eyebrows, her eyebrows like two lancets were full of strong aura, and her hand held the handle of the horizontal knife on her waist all year round, and her voice was as cold as ice. "Brother Wuji, let the little sister bring a group of elite horsemen to rush over overnight, and I will definitely take the head of the thief of the Chen family in Nayan County."
"The third lady is slow, the master of the party is just and wants to collect the ......" Fang Xuanling saw the gaze of this son on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, thinking that the stakes were very high, just a group of elite horses, with the force of Li Sanniang, he could win, but the problem is that this requires not only victory, but also needs to shock many people who are also unwilling to pay taxes at this moment and have different aspirations.
I nodded. "Sister, don't worry, let's do it, Yuan Fang, you immediately send someone to summon the commanders of the armies to come to my mansion to discuss matters, tell them that there is urgent military affairs, and in addition, order all the garrisons in Chang'an to be on guard and ready to fight at any time. This son should send more troops and horses, and pacify the county with lightning speed. If it is delayed for too long, it will allow them to escape from Yanxian, and I don't know how many innocent people will be implicated in Ludao, and it will even provoke the ambitions of many families in Guanzhong. ”
"I'm going too" Yaoguang girl stared at her round apricot eyes, stubbornly written all over her beautiful face. Before Ben Gongzi could respond, Li Xuanba and Li Shimin also jumped out.
"It's okay for Brother Xuanba and Sister Yaoguang to go, after all, both of them are now generals of the Huaxia Renaissance Army, but Brother Xian, you ......" This son could only roll his eyes speechlessly and set his eyes on Li Shimin.
After all, it's just a small rebellion, and with the Yaoguang girl's force value beyond the limits of human beings, it's nothing to go shopping, but the question is why did you Li Shimin go to Yu? Could it be that this son still temporarily granted you an official position?
"The younger brother is willing to escort the elder brother to the left and right, and the main thing is to watch the elite combat power under the elder brother's command." Li Shimin was also frank, and in one sentence he made clear his intention to follow me.
"Let's go, since the virtuous brother is willing to watch the battle, it doesn't hurt, but you must not leave me." I nodded, Li Shimin wanted to see the combat effectiveness of my subordinates, which I was naturally happy to prejudice.
"In this way, the younger brother has thanked the elder brother first." After Li Shimin saluted me very excitedly, he turned around and gave a few orders to the guards of the Li Mansion who were standing at the foot of the steps outside the hall, naturally asking them to rush back to get the armor, after all, they were going to the battlefield, not to hunt.
"Okay, Yuanfang, don't delay, go quickly." I turned my head and waved at Li Yuanfang, who was looking at me waiting for further instructions.
"Nuo" Li Yuanfang received the order in a deep voice, and then strode towards the outside of the hall, and dozens of guards rushed out of the palace gate, and went straight to the various provinces inside and outside Chang'an City and the garrisons.
The moonlit night is cool, there is no heat during the day, even the wind at the beginning of autumn has to be cool, I rode a horse to stand on the hill next to the avenue, looking to the east by the moonlight, you can see, the water of the Wei River is like a winding silver dragon, coming from the west, going east, the silver light shines endlessly, and just on the edge of the Wei River, a long fire dragon winds its way and goes west, the rumbling hooves sound like the thunder that rolls and rolls away resounding through the night sky.
"It's really spectacular, such a blatant night road, it's the first time for my little sister." The Yaoguang girl beside her sighed softly, a bright silver full-body plate armor looked so eye-catching under the moonlight, and a pair of black jewel-like eyes were shining.
"Hehe, now that the entire Guanzhong is in my hands, naturally there is no need to hide the night. It's a pity that the cement straight has not been repaired yet, otherwise, we would have been able to do it faster. I smiled and nodded
Li Shimin, who was also dressed in plate armor, said with envy: "If it is a cement straight road, I am afraid that the speed of the foot soldiers traveling by car is not much slower than that of the cavalry, but also can nourish the spirit on the carriage and fight at any time, but it is much easier than the cavalry." ”
"Yes, if the entire Guanzhong is built with a cement straight road, as long as there is a carriage at that time, the marching speed of the foot soldiers will definitely not be inferior to that of the cavalry." Qin Qiong also bowed his head again and again to show his approval.
While chatting here, not far away, Li Jing was looking at the map in his hand, and by the moonlight, he was looking at the shape of the Wei River, so that he could find out where we were currently traveling.
It's really embarrassing to see this guy so serious, and then look at our guys bragging and farting here. But since he works so hard, let him be attentive, just exercise his ability, and we can also relax a little.
And although Li Shimin is not a subordinate of this son, but after this guy heard about something, he cheekily followed the Yaoguang girl over, and strongly asked to appreciate the soldiers and horses of this son, and the Yaoguang girl was naturally unwilling to ask to participate, in desperation, he had to follow their wishes, anyway, they are all idle generals, it is good to go out for a walk, so as not to stay at home for a long time and become obese, such as Cheng Biting Jin, according to his own words, he has grown at least five catties of meat during the time he stayed in Chang'an, suitable for coming out and losing fat.
In order to be in a hurry, this time it was the First Praetorian Cavalry Division and two cavalry provisional divisions that set off, totaling more than 13,000 cavalry, such a cavalry scale is really unprecedented, at least I have never seen such a spectacular scene, more than 13,000 cavalry rumbling.
"Lord, from Chang'an to now, we have been on the road for three hours, and there are still about twenty miles away from Zhouzhi County. After reading the map, Li Jing rode his horse and walked closer to report it.
"How far is it from that county?" I looked to the west, and it was still dark in the distance, and everyone around me was yawning and tired.
"There are about 140 miles to go, and it's time now."
"Well, the road is not something that can be rushed to the end, and the three armies are ordered to rest on the spot, and set off at three o'clock tomorrow, no matter what, they must rush to Yanxian County to quell the rebellion at the turn of Shenyou tomorrow." I nodded and commanded.
Hearing this order, the cavalrymen, who were almost tired of the journey, could not help but let out a cheer, and after dismounting, they set up a tent in the open space beside the road and drilled into it.
Ben Gongzi also went to inspect and check with Corporal Polite and Xian, but those soldiers were all tired to death, and before Ben Gongzi came to him, he went to meet Zhou Gong in the tent.
Not long after I lay down, someone came to report that I had received a messenger from Yanxian County to Chang'an for rescue.
The news brought by this guy made my son's mood sink to the bottom all of a sudden, the Chen clan in Yanxian County is the largest clan in Yanxian County, and there are many children in the clan, who are in the county as scribes or masters, and Chen Zun, the third son of the patriarch Chen Yun, is the county lieutenant of Yanxian County, when the Chen rebellion attacked the county seat of Yanxian County, these Chen clansmen who served in the county government also joined the rebellion industry.
After a team of soldiers in the Yanxian military camp found that the city was also in chaos, they knew that the county seat of Yanxian County could not hold and wanted to retreat to the county yamen to defend it, and happened to meet Chen Zun, who was leading the dead soldiers to attack the county government, and killed him, saving the county order, and after that, the entire county government was surrounded by thousands of mobs, and in desperation, the captain sent Chen Zun to disguise himself as a citizen to escape and report the news.
