Three days later, Zichuan city.

During the autumn harvest season, the weather was hot, but the officials felt cold and even couldn't help but tremble...

An old saying goes: More than 10,000 soldiers are boundless, but who would have thought that a thousand soldiers and horses would actually feel a sense of black oppression.

Under the vast sunlight, dozens of officials stood at the top of the city, and under the city about ten feet high, there were the iron cavalry that had set up their troops.

Lanling Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry!

There was a sharp-eyed official, looking at the horizontal swords on the cavalry's waist, with simple and unpretentious scabbards and engraved with six-character regular script.

There was another big flag, roaring in the wind, and the sunlight was dominating, and the armor on the cavalry reflected a faint light.

Gudu!

I don’t know which official it was, swallowing his mouth with great difficulty, his face was extremely ugly, and his tone was extremely difficult: “It was all cavalry…”

All cavalry!

And they are all iron cavalry!

Iron cavalry is not good at siege, but it does not mean that it has no oppressive power. On the contrary, Iron cavalry is the most powerful shock of this era.

Having an iron cavalry in hand means a strong power, and every one of these officials knows what a thousand iron cavalry means.

One thousand iron cavalry represents one thousand pairs of heavy armor, each heavy armor is 50 kilograms, and 50 kilograms can be obtained by using iron alone.

In addition, the iron armor of the war horse, as well as the lock scale armor on the chest and both sides, the iron is not inferior to that of the iron, at least 20,000 pounds cannot be stopped.

Therefore, the iron used by just one thousand iron cavalry is at least 70,000 kilograms. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty Iron Smelting, the price of more than 500 kilograms of pig iron will double.

what does that mean?

It means tens of thousands of chunks or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

...

“Why is this happening?”

“Why is this happening?”

"Kuo Ziyi is obviously just a muddy person, how could he develop so quickly?"

"How long has it been? How long has it been? It has only been seven months since he participated in the martial arts department..."

"And for the past seven months, he has been huddling in Lanling County, busy building cities, tutoring fields, and resettling refugees. He is so busy that he is in a state of great difficulty every day."

"Where did he get the money? How could he have the money?"

Panic is meaningless!

Panic cannot change reality.

If there is really a medicine for regret in the world, I am afraid that all the officials in Zibo want to take one at this moment. They really regret it, why didn’t they carefully investigate the news about Lanling?

In fact, it is not without investigation!

But the exploration is not deep enough.

It can even be believed that the spies sent were probably trapped. The men sent by the previous ones secretly went to Lanling County to inquire about the news. Perhaps when the spies entered Lanling, they were already targeted by Lanling County.

Looking back now, the news I found is really ridiculous.

Lanling County is short of food!

The refugees who built the city were not full every day!

Guo Ziyi used his power to initiate harsh corvee service.

It is said that Lanling County starves to death every day.

It is said that there are rebellions every day in the construction site where the city is built.

There are also soldiers in Lanling County, with a total of only one thousand, of which 200 are Guo Ziyi's family background, and the other 800 are dowry for his wife and family.

It is said that Guo Ziyi is doing a miserable life now. His winery has been targeted by the Langya family and is constantly dividing it up, and the industry has fallen into the hands of others.

All the news shows that Guo Ziyi is in a quagmire.

He is worried every day...

And he still has no ambitions...

So he hurried in Lanling for seven months, just wanting to live his own life behind closed doors.

...

But now, at less than a hundred steps below the city, there is a cavalry, the extremely elite Black Armored Iron Cavalry.

Suddenly, only the neighing of the war horses, a general slowly stepped forward, standing under the city, looking up at the top of the city, and said with a high voice: "I am the name of the general, I am the second-class martial arts in the Tang Dynasty. I was named the second-class commander of the Great Tang Dynasty. I was appointed as the commander of the Zhechong Duwei by Your Majesty. Now I will lead a thousand soldiers and horses to inspect the autumn harvest of Zichuan. Anything that breeds bandits will be breeding, this general will be able to pacify it in one or three minutes..."

This is the opening remark, to put it bluntly, it is a scene. It not only introduces one's origin, but also reveals the next intention.

Sure enough, Pugu Huaien followed and said: "In the five prefectures on the southeastern Shandong, all the military affairs of the army are under the control of the General Langya. I am a general under the general and have a military position personally granted by His Majesty. This time, not only will the troops be led to patrol Zichuan, but also explore the garrison for the reconstruction of the Zhechong Prefecture..."

"You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. From today on, Zichuan will rebuild Zhechong Mansion."

"Hahaha, why don't you talk? Could it be that when I saw this general coming, I was happy that I would have a good colleague in the future?"

"You are very happy. My servant Gu Huai'en must be a good colleague. In the future, I will be in charge of Zichuan and lead troops to protect one side. In all the four counties in Zichuan, we guarantee that there will be no more bandits..."

"After saying so much, I have already introduced the origin. So there are two things next. I hope everyone on the city will cooperate well."

"The first thing is to ask which official is the prefect of Zichuan? Let us know each other and send a message to you."

After saying this, the officials on the front of the city quietly retreated, but the face of the prefect of Zibo was unstable, and finally chose to take two steps forward slowly.

After approaching the battlements, he looked down with a calm expression, and his tone was holding on to arrogance, and said lightly: "I am the governor of Zichuan, what do you have to say to me?"

The servant Gu Huaien, who was under the city, smiled and bowed his head, saying, "My general said that his child was not able to do a big fuss after he was born, which made him feel very embarrassed. There was no big shot to celebrate..."

"At the beginning, the general didn't care, but as time went by, my general became more and more angry."

"Finally, I was furious!"

"Just ten days ago, I sent a letter from Chang'an directly. The letter was so angry that I complained directly to His Majesty that I was dissatisfied with him."

"The general's temper has always been reckless and reckless, but as we all know, Your Majesty appreciates my general."

"So your Majesty was furious and thought it was inappropriate for the general's son to be born and failed to handle it. He immediately issued an imperial edict to come to Lanling in person."

"It's just that a bunch of old men in the court jumped out to stop him, thinking that His Majesty is old and not suitable for long journeys."

"So Your Majesty took a compromise solution, sending three princes to Lanling at one time to celebrate the birthday of my general's children, and also bringing various royal rewards."

"After the general learned this news, he barely suppressed some anger. But five days ago, he suddenly became angry again..."

"Even His Majesty sent the prince to celebrate, why didn't the officials of the five prefectures on Shandong South Road move?"

"This is clearly contempt, and it is clearly not taking the general seriously."

When Pugu Huaien said this, he kept a faint smile on his face, still looking up at the city wall, his tone seemed very peaceful:

"So when I was leading troops on patrol this time, the general asked me to bring a letter to the officials of Zichuan... If you don't give him face, don't blame the general for not giving you face."

The prefect of Zichuan on the top of the city looked calm and it took a long time to let out a sigh of relief, saying, "I am a civil servant, and I am the head of a government office. Although General Guo has a high military position, the civil servants and military positions are not in the same jurisdiction system..."

As he said a little, he said, "His general's power is only responsible for the military affairs of the five governments. As for the government affairs of the governments and counties of each prefecture and county, it is not his turn to point fingers according to the Tang law. Moreover, civil officials and military officials should not be in close contact. This is a rule set at the founding of the country. Therefore, even if I am willing to give him face, I do not have such friendship with him."

If you can become the head of a government, you will be at least a fifth-rank official, and you will definitely have a backstage among the prefectures and counties, and you will be a backstage that can be supported by interests.

So the prefect of Zichuan spoke very hard and almost without any tact.

...

Pugu Huai'en laughed, looked up at the city wall and nodded, saying, "Okay, I have brought the message to you anyway. The first thing is to be done."

"Next, this general will do the second thing..."

When he said this, Pugu Huaien's tone gradually changed, his face suddenly turned red, and he roared to the sky: "Who are the officials from Zichuan Prefecture's military officers and the county magistrates in each of the four counties under his jurisdiction? Let me stand up."

The prefect of Zichuan on the top of the city looked cold and shouted in time: "What does this mean by you? Do you know that they are all officials of the government office and county office. Although they are in charge of military affairs, they are local military systems. Even if Guo Ziyi comes in person, he is not qualified to call around..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Pugu Huai'en didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then roared again, and suddenly took off the hard bow from his back, and pulled the bow and led the arrow with a clang.

A whoosh broke through the air!

A sharp arrow instantly penetrated the city.

Pu Gu Huaien looked cold and said almost word by word: "According to the order of General Guo Ziyi, the commander of the Zhechong Duwei led his troops to patrol the bandits in Zichuan, protect the autumn harvest, and shock Xiao Xiao. He has the right to control all places in any military affairs. Whether it is the record of the prefecture government office, or the county office commander of the county office, he will be immediately assigned to the army and complete the task with the army..."

Speaking of this, he used the bow to draw the arrow again, and his face became colder and more severe: "The arrow just now is a warning to you. In the next twenty breathing hours, I hope to see you standing in front of me."

The prefect of Zibo on the top of the city was also very hard and sneered, "What if they don't want to appear in front of you?"

"Entering military law!" Pugu Huaien slowly said these four words.

Then he let out a breath slowly and said lightly: "There are nineteen more breaths."

The officials on the city top hesitated at first, and then saw someone rushing up and running down the city wall like crazy. Everyone heard him shouting anxiously: "Open the city gate, open the city gate immediately. I want to go out, I want to go out..."

The prefect of Zibo was shocked.
To be continued...
