Chapter 614: Hou Junji, the head of the checkpoint
As for the liquor production workshop, it is arranged in another place, after all, all the so-called secret workshops are put together, which is completely a non-secret situation, so even if they are in the same valley but they are also miles apart, no research institute or workshop can get other factories or research institutes.
In short, it is a bit like in the fifties and sixties, when the state called on all kinds of factories, especially arsenals, to relocate to the southwest region, hidden, and each formed its own independent living area, and every quarter there would be a certain amount of time to go home on family leave, so that these people would not even be able to see their relatives.
Riding a new mount into the valley, at the mouth of the valley, you can see hidden in the yellow-green mottled mountain forest, about a large number of people, want to get here, but not everyone can come.
This road alone has three checkpoints, and in addition, more than 20 hidden forts have been designed, each of which is responsible for patrolling nearly 50 square kilometers, encircling this valley area.
When I came to the entrance of the valley, I saw the last checkpoint erected here, and even if the flag of the Praetorian Guard was waving in the wind, the garrison of the checkpoint still blocked the way of the Praetorian Guard's advance, even if Li Xuanba shouted loudly, the leader of the garrison, a small captain still had to ask Li Xuanba to show his pass, otherwise, unless he was killed, don't think about going over.
Li Xuan was so angry that he scolded and scolded, but in the end, he was persuaded by Li Yuanfang, who I sent over, and took out his communication card and handed it to the captain, so that he could pass.
Not far from this checkpoint are several concrete barracks and an empty martial arts training ground. The fence of the checkpoint is made of bricks and stones, but on both sides of this checkpoint, there should only be one arrow tower on the left and right, but this checkpoint actually has three arrow towers on the left and right, and the farthest arrow tower has been built on the mountain beam, and it is built with logs.
The line moved slowly, and my mount had just passed the checkpoint when the line came to a halt as I raised my hand.
I rolled over and jumped off my horse, and with a smile on my face, I walked up and looked at the captain of the checkpoint, who was very young and good-looking, and then he was strong and powerful. No matter how you look at it, I can't see that this guy has what the history books say about his pampering, rudeness, and arrogance when he first met.
This guy is none other than one of the twenty-four heroes of the famous Lingyan Pavilion in another historical time and space, and Hou Junji, who worships as the Duke of Luguo. In the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he followed the Qin king Li Shimin to fight in the east and west, and made outstanding achievements, and played an important role in supporting Li Shimin as emperor. Zhenguan for four years, he served as the secretary of the military department, the secretary of the school department, and participated in the government. He became a general, entered the DPRK to participate in politics, and won the reputation of the time.
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan, according to the strategy of his minister Tianzhu Wang, attacked Tang Kuo (Zhihualong, now southwest of Hualong, Qinghai) and Lanzhou, so that the throat of Tang to the Western Regions Hexi Corridor was threatened.
Hou Jun set up the division of Shanzhou (Zhixidu, now Ledu, Qinghai). On the eighth day of the fourth month of the leap month, Li Daozong defeated the Tuyuhun army at Kushan (southeast of present-day Qinghai Lake). Fu Yun burned all the weeds and entered the moraine. The generals of the Tang Army believed that "the horses have no grass, are tired, and cannot go deep." "Only Hou Junji thinks otherwise. Duan Zhixuan's army returned, only to reach Shanzhou, and the captives had already arrived under his city. The cover is still complete, and the public uses it. After this defeat, the rats fled and the birds scattered, the scouts were also extinct, the monarchs and ministers were taken away, the father and son were lost, and it was easy to pick up mustard.
Li Jing adopted Hou Junji's opinion, divided his troops into two pursuits, and finally caught up with Fuyun Khan, broke his crowd, and captured his famous Wang Xiaojun. Cornered, Fu Yun Khan hanged himself.
Murong Shun, the son of Fu Yun, the king of Daning, beheaded the king of Tianzhu, led his troops to the Tang Dynasty, and was named Gandou Khan and the king of Xiping County, and Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty was stabilized from then on.
Later, in August of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the Tubo army claimed to be more than 200,000 troops into the western border of Songzhou (Zhijiacheng, now Songpan, Sichuan), and sent envoys to pay tribute to the princess, claiming to marry the princess. Governor Han Wei hurriedly led his army into battle and returned defeated. The leader of the Qiang nationality, the Tang Kuozhou Thorn Shi Bei Cong Woshi, and the Nuozhou Thorn Shi successively raised the state to reduce Tibet.
Tang Taizong immediately sent Hou Junji as the general manager of the Midao march and was responsible for the war. The Tubo army was finally defeated by Hou Junji, and then led his troops to fight and won a great victory in pacifying Gaochang.
It's a pity that in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he was killed for participating in the coup d'Γ©tat of the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Every time I see this, I can't help but sigh without choking, Hou Junji has several wars, all of which are against foreign enemies, especially the country of these nomads, and they will win every battle, which shows their talent.
It's a pity that it's a pity to be involved in the internal contradictions of the old Li family. What I didn't expect was that this future famous general from Guanzhong actually joined my Chinese Rejuvenation Army. At that time, he was only seventeen years old, but he was brave and good at fighting, and was favored by his superiors and promoted to the position of a squad leader in the cavalry division of the Third Army, but this guy thought very highly of himself and always did not deal with his colleagues.
But even so, he has made several successive military exploits, at the age of nineteen, he became the youngest cavalry battalion commander, however, this guy is indeed very unruly, many times against the boss, out of accident, when Ben Gongzi inspected the barracks, he happened to see this guy with his boss blushing and thick neck top cow.
Ben Gongzi is called happy, how can I never imagine that I actually saw a future famous general when I was hanging out, and after inquiring about his boss, I understood that this guy's sexual problems were problematic, and Ben Gongzi waved his pen and transferred this guy from the field army to the new army, and then this guy was naturally uncomfortable, and he clashed with his colleagues.
Well, if it is decentralized, it will be delegated to the garrison, and it will have to be stricken? Okay, then it will be delegated again, and it will be delegated to the reserve, this guy has been in the reserve for nearly a year and a half, and he was still at the battalion commander level when he was sent to the reserve, and then every time he made a mistake, this guy would be demoted by one level, and at the end he would only be a small captain. Well, this guy finally understands his temper and the disadvantages he brings to himself.
After that, he finally began to change, or rather, matured a lot, did things well, and his relationship with his colleagues was much better than before. And after my father got to know it, he was only slightly promoted, but I don't want to throw this guy into the field army yet, who knows if this guy is just a disguise.
Therefore, I threw him into the Chang'an garrison, and it has been three or four months since I learned about him last time and was promoted to captain for his merits. I don't think I'll meet here today.
"Hou Junji, do you remember me?" Seeing this guy looking at me with a puzzled and hesitant expression, I couldn't help but laugh, nodded at this guy and asked with a pleasant face.
For my question, I was really suspected of taking off my pants and farting, well, I accidentally said something wrong, but I was embarrassed to change it back.
"You, are you Your Majesty?!" Just when Ben Gongzi's old face was slightly red and embarrassed, Hou Junji's eyes widened, and the garrison soldiers next to him couldn't help but be startled. And one of them shouted loudly: "That's right, it's His Majesty the Emperor, I have seen it before!" β
The fifty or sixty people who were guarding here all stood up straight and saluted in front of me. "Long live Your Majesty!"
I straightened my spine, saluted back to these soldiers, and then greeted them very cordially, looking at this eager and excited face, it really touched me, these soldiers, each of them is a good soldier, but for the interests of the country, guarding here, not afraid of cold and heat.
"Hou Qing remembers me now?" After the soldiers returned to their posts, I asked with a smile at Hou Junji, who was standing aside.
"Wechen remembered, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive Wechen's clumsiness." Hou Junji bowed deeply to me with a look of shame.
"It's okay, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't measure, if you have to blame for this, then the people in the world know very few of me, so why don't I blame them?" I waved my hand disappreciatively and smiled.
"By the way, I would like to ask you, do you know why I am staying here?" I waved my hand at the Praetorian cavalry stationed here, and soon the large army was rushing in, with only fifty Praetorian guards turning over and jumping off their horses to escort me.
"This, is it because Weichen is too inflexible to do things?" Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he seemed a little hesitant.
I ignored his answer and went straight again. "I didn't stop at the first three checkpoints, so why did I stop here? There is a reason because of your behavior. β
Although Hou Junji still had a look of loyalty and courage on his face, I could clearly see that his eyes showed a little helplessness, but more of it was a kind of determination, or a kind of open-mindedness with a clear conscience.
This reminds me of the scene when I saw him three years ago, with an unruly face, a flamboyant expression, and so arrogant that he was about to catch up with Li Xuanba. But now, if a sharp blade is hidden in its sheath, it is not that it is not lethal, but it is just that it is not yet time for him to show his blade.
Well, I really describe it as literary and martial arts, but I think this description is very appropriate. It shows that this guy has been tempered and will definitely become a useful talent in the future.
I ignored the guy and continued on my way, looking at the four more arrow towers that were there than at the previous checkpoint, and it was clear that the two masonry towers were built by the engineering team, and the arrow towers made of logs should have been built by these people themselves.
Moreover, I can't help but wonder that the farthest of these four newly built arrow towers were actually built close to the mountainside, completely out of the protection of the city.
