Chapter 7: The Stones

No wonder the governor of Shanxi dared to pretend to be in front of the new official Xue Chongxun. It turned out that he was indeed talented, otherwise he would not be able to control the spy's detailed work.

He was originally a very useful person, but he had already cut it off, so Xue Chongxun couldn't regret it.

He looked back at the new chief secretary Wang Changling next to him and pondered: Young man is good at writing a literary and good at planning, but you can't do that job. He wrote a letter to Zhang Jishi and asked him to take it back. He asked my mother to transfer Yu Wenxiao from Jingzhao Mansion to him to do this.

If you have a specialty in your profession, you always have strengths and weaknesses, which is common sense.

The troops stationed in Langzhou Prefecture Office for a night.

When Xue Chongxun woke up in the morning, he heard the horns. The soldiers with their cheeks bulging against the sun set off a magnificent scene. He couldn't help but be excited and said with a look: I looked at the sword with a light while drunk, and dreamed of blowing the horns and camp.The troops were divided into eight hundred miles, and the sounds of fifty strings were heard outside the border, and the soldiers were fired on the battlefield.The horse made Lu was fast, and the bow was astonished as thunder.To resolve the affairs of the king and the world, and to win the reputation of the past and after death.

The last sentence, but the pity happened in vain, and he was castrated because he thought that he was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and that sentence was not very suitable.After reciting, he still felt endless aftertaste, and Lao Xin's words were indeed very exciting.

Unexpectedly, this word was heard by Wang Changling, who had just left the account. Wang Changling said in surprise: A good word written by the lord!

Xue Chongxun was stunned and thought to himself: Xiao Wang’s expert in poetry and essays, if I say I wrote it myself, I will be considered proficient in essays and essays, what should I do if I talk to me about this?

There are a lot of allusions in poetry and songs. Xue Chongxun knew that he would be exposed in two days.

He wanted to stop and shook his head and said: It was not done by myself. It was written by a friend of mine. The lyrics are haha... it is the lyrics.

Wang Changling asked with great interest: Didn’t you hear of it?

Xue Chongxun said a little embarrassedly: "My name is Xin Qiji. I lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain before. I have met twice, but now I don't know where to end."

Wang Changling sighed with regret: As expected, even talented experts are not in the eyes of the dragon.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: Isn’t that true, Young Master, I can see it every day.Wang Changling humbly clasped his fists and said: Don’t dare to take it or not.

As he spoke, he took out a brush and a piece of paper from his pocket, and could not find a place to put the paper everywhere. So he changed a soldier standing next to him, asked him to bend down in front of him, put the paper on his back, then put the brush in his mouth and lick it, and recorded the poem that Xue Chongxun recited on the spot.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was shocked. If this word was passed down, would Lao Xin still write it in the Song Dynasty?But he won't care about the future, let it go.

All the troops were arose, and smoke was scattered in the camp to make fires and make meals. The army brought food and grass to cook by themselves. Ten people gathered together to eat, and ten people in a small team called Yihuo. The origin of the name was probably the reason why they made fires and cooked together.

Iron horse bowls are used for meals, a large lunch box that can hold a lot of rice. Each person will eat a lot of food by fucking an iron horse bowl.

Cheng Qianli stayed and ate with the soldiers, and also ate with this kind of thing. The marching general manager was like this. Xue Chongxun had no choice but to eat with this big lunch box, which looked very ugly.

After dinner, the army continued to travel south. This trip was mainly to appease the war zone and investigate the terrain. There was no big battle to fight.

Because the Tubo army had already run away after robbing, they naturally did not dare to occupy Dahua County. When the Tang army reinforcements came, they were looking for a draw, so it would be wise to run away if they grabbed one.

Now the enemy has fled far west of Jishishan.

On the way south along the post road, Xue Chongxun and others suddenly heard a cry of help. Everyone followed the sound and saw a small hill in the distance, and there was a land temple at the foot of the mountain. The sound seemed to be coming from the land temple.

Cheng Qianli ordered: The army is constantly stopping, and the Duwei of Cai, take the personal soldiers of our headquarters to see the situation.

The big-mouthed Captain was the general who ran to the Shanzhou Prefecture Office the day before yesterday to pass the message to Xue Chongxun. He immediately responded to the order and took dozens of horses to encircle the small temple.

Among the cavalry, two soldiers with three small flags on their backs, representing the command coordinates at the battalion level. Cai Yi's first battalion of troops had several such messengers around him; another man had a small flag on his back, which was the messenger of that team. The flag was not inserted on the back of the team, and the generals had no obvious decorations. Otherwise, they would be the key target of the sharpshooter's care on the battlefield.

At this time, the temple seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves, and several untidy men emerged from the door. They suddenly saw the army lined up in the distance, and ran towards the mountain.

But at this time, a fire man had already captured the temple and intercepted their retreat. The other two fire cavalry divided left and right to encircle the Tudi Temple, and instantly surrounded the land. The men had no way to go, but they still had no intention of stopping and still ran around.

A cavalry had already pulled the bowstring and shouted, stopping, and when he saw that he didn't listen, he undressed the string and shot an arrow. A man with a naked upper body fell down upon the string.

At this moment, a woman with a white body ran out of the temple. The woman was holding a few rags in her arms and was about to run away with her hair disheveled.

Another knight opened his bow and pointed the arrow at the running woman. After hearing something from Cai Yi, the knight moved the arrow point to the ground.

After a while, three men and a woman were taken to the post road by Cai Yi and others, and a body was left outside the temple.Cai Yi took off the black cloak on his body and wrapped it on the woman's body.

Cheng Qianli asked: What's going on?

Cai Yi said: This woman is a villager in Shanhou Village; the other few people are Gaochang people who are affiliated with her. They took advantage of the Tubo to kill and loot the local Han tribes and robbed the village and robbed the woman and enjoyed the pleasure of lust in the land temple.

At this time, the woman pulled the cloak on her body and knelt down on the ground and cried: These beasts have harmed my parents, so I ask Mr. Ming to avenge me...

Cheng Qianli said angrily: Come on, behead these people!

Wait, it is too cheap for the chief manager to kill them like this, so it is better to hand them over to a humble position.

Cheng Qianli looked back and saw that the person who was talking was Chen Tuanlian beside Xue Chongxun. He saw that Chen Tuanlian had a gloomy face.

Xue Chongxun also said: "President Cheng might as well give us the people, and then behead us after we reach Huacheng to show our heads to the public to shock those violators."

That's good.Cheng Qianli gave Xue Chongxun a lot of face and gave him the person with a wave of his hand.

Chen Tuanlian remained silent and said nothing. He asked someone to tie the hands of several big bearded Gaochang people with a rope, dragged them behind the horse, and let them follow the horse's butt.

Everyone left the woman next to the road and ignored her and continued to move forward.

Chen Tuanlian cursed on the road: If you are not my race, your heart will be different!Those alien races who are attached cannot change the habits of thugs. We give cattle and sheep to the place, and even allow them to be officials, but in the end they are still unreliable, and they are all ungrateful!

At this time, a brigade coach in the swimming camp whispered: "When Chen Tuanlian was killed when he was running to find his sister-in-law at home, the guy was killed... Chen Tuanlian heard the words and glared fiercely, and the brigade coach hurriedly stopped.

Another general said: The barbarians are really not so good. There are people who moved from the Western Regions to the inner circle. The eleventh twelve kids dare to chase the little girl in the village and forcefully touch the butt. Fuck it.

After hearing this, Chen Shitang said to Xue Chongxun: We will win the battle in the future. Don’t involve those barbarians. Wouldn’t it be a relief to cut them all down?

Xue Chongxun thought that genocide was very interesting, but it wasn’t fascist. He said calmly: The policy was decided by the court, what’s the use of telling me?Besides, the court should also take into account national unity.

Chen Shitang said: In our Shanzhou, just don’t care about their lives or death.

Xue Chongxun beat him up, neither opposing nor agreeing.

After the army arrived at Hua County, it stopped. The scene in the city was very different from the last time Xue Chongxun came to flee. The county government and many private houses were burned down, making a mess.

When walking through a familiar street, Xue Chongxun remembered that rainy night, and was bleeding from his back and saw a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella...

Suddenly, I missed the arrival of Murong.

At that time, my own people wanted to harm him, and it was indeed a Tuyuhun girl who saved him.

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but sigh.

The army stopped temporarily, and Cheng Qianli led Xue Chongxun to the top of Dahua City. He pointed to the west and said: Jishi Mountain is there. There were some outposts, but they were probably destroyed when Tubo entered the country. We should re-arrange the defense line.

Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly: Last year I climbed Jishi Mountain alone, and it was difficult to climb, and I almost couldn't get through it.

Cheng Qianli said in surprise: Did Duke Wei return from here?Xue Chongxun nodded.

Cheng Qianli pondered for a moment and said: If we build fortifications along Jishi Mountain and station troops and set up fortresses at key points; and there are also large troops on the line of Shancheng, Shanzhou, in this way, we can effectively defend against the Tubo invasion from the east without taking Shibao City.What did Duke Wei think?

Xue Chongxun said in surprise: But hasn’t the Ministry of War just issued an order to let General Cheng conquer Shibao City recently?Now the main force of Tubo is west of Jishishan, which is just the same as Dashibao City.

Cheng Qianli stared at Xue Chongxun's eyes and said seriously: The court has appointed me as the chief marching officer of Luoshen, but can we really fight to the Luoshen city?That's just a joke.Isn’t the purpose of capturing Shibao City to consolidate the northwest defense line and prevent Tubo from expanding eastward?We can still achieve this goal by moving the front south and fighting in Jishi Mountain. Why should we chew the stone castle city at any cost?When we hit Shibao City, our army suffered tens of thousands of casualties and could only kill hundreds of Tubo; when we went west to Jishishan, we could kill ten thousand of them, which would at least cost the Tubo army five times the price!

Xue Chongxun said: General Manager Cheng wrote a letter to the Ministry of War to tell me that I am just a governor. What is the reason for telling me about this?
