Chapter 462 Moonlight Cavalry March
After all, the salary in this era is worth rice, flour, silk, and copper coins account for a small share. Think about it, in addition to these nobles in Guanzhong, they also need to pay the military supplies and salary to the Sixteen Guards stationed in Guanzhong, and even more so to pay the officials in Beijing.
In addition, if Guanzhong suffers from famine, the court will also need to appease the court. Therefore, in order to ensure that Guanzhong has enough money and grain just in case, it will build warehouses in Guanluo to save money and grain.
Hearing my words, Fang Xuanling nodded with conscientiousness. "If the lord went to deal with it personally, it would not be impossible. However, there were too few soldiers in a division. After all, after this information was transmitted, no one knew what had happened. According to my opinion, it would be best to ask the generals and generals to come and discuss before sending troops."
At this moment, I actually saw Li Shimin, Yaoguang girl and Li Xuanba appear outside the door. Damn, are these three brothers and sisters here?
"Why are you here?" This young master waved his hand to Fang Xuanling, then met him and asked.
"Why, I'm here to pay my respects to my uncle, you don't welcome me?" Li Shimin said with a smile, and the Yaoguang girl next to me also nodded. "My mother asked my brother to come and pay homage to my aunt. My little sister had nothing to do at home, so naturally she went to visit my aunt with her second brother. Hey, Fang Shangshu is here too?"
"It turns out that it is Lady Li San and two Mr. Li, and Fang is polite." Fang Xuanling squeezed out a smile and came to greet him.
"I came to see Brother Wuji late at night. Could it be that something big happened?" Yaoguang girl saw Fang Xuanling's expression and couldn't help but turn her eyes on me and asked.
Looking at the clear eyes of Yaoguang girl, I could only nod and smile bitterly: "Look, the Chen family in Zheng County killed the tax officials because they were unwilling to pay taxes. Now, they have been struggling with more than 2,000 young and strong men in Zheng County, and have impacted the county town of Zheng County."
Hearing this, the three Li brothers and sisters who came here were shocked.
"Brother Wuji, how is Zhengxian now?" The girl Yaoguang bit her red lips, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
"It's not clear yet, but each county can have a battalion of troops, and there are only a hundred troops stationed in a county. There are more than 2,000 mobs attacking Zheng County, probably..." I sighed leisurely and replied.
Hearing this, Yaoguang and others couldn't help feeling sad. After only a moment, the girl Yaoguang's eyebrows raised, and her beautiful eyebrows were as strong as two lancets. She held the hilt of the horizontal knife that had been away from her waist for many years, and her voice was as cold as ice. "Brother Wuji, let my younger sister take a group of elite cavalry over there overnight and will definitely take the head of the Chen family in the county."
"San Lady, let's wait. Just now, the lord wants to fight in person..." Fang Xuanling saw the gaze of this young master, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him, thinking that it was important, and that it was just a group of elite cavalry. With the force of Li San Lady, he could win. But the problem is that this requires not only victory, but also shocking many families who are also unwilling to pay taxes and have different ambitions.
I nodded. "Don't worry, sister, let's do it. Yuanfang, immediately send someone to summon the commanders of the army to our mansion to discuss matters and tell them that there are military affairs in a tight manner. In addition, I will order all the troops in Chang'an to be on guard and be ready to go to war at any time. I should send more troops and horses to pacify the county of Zheng County with lightning speed. If it is delayed for too long, they will escape from Zheng County. I don't know how many innocent people will be affected by it, and will also arouse the ambitions of many aristocratic families in Guanzhong."
"I'm going too." The girl Yaoguang stared at her round almond eyes, and her pretty face was stubbornly written. Before the young master could respond, Li Xuanba and Li Shimin also jumped out.
"It's okay if Brother Xuanba and Sister Yaoguang go, after all, they are both generals of the Chinese Revival Army now. You are brother..." This young master could only roll his eyes speechlessly and put his eyes on Li Shimin.
After all, it was just a small rebellion, and with the force value that surpassed the limits of human beings, it would be nothing to go shopping. But the problem is that you, Li Shimin, went there? Could it be that this young master temporarily grants you an official position?
"I am willing to protect my elder brother, and I want to see the combat power of the elite under my elder brother." Li Shimin was also open-minded and explained his intention to follow me in one sentence.
"Stop it, since I am willing to watch the battle, it's okay, but don't leave me." I nodded. Li Shimin wanted to see the combat effectiveness of my subordinates, so I naturally like to prejudice.
"So, I thank you brother first." Li Shimin saluted me excitedly, and then turned around and gave a few instructions to the guards of Li's mansion who were standing under the steps outside the hall. Naturally, they asked them to rush back to get the armor. After all, they were on the battlefield, not hunting.
"Okay, Yuanfang, don't delay, go quickly." I turned my head and waved to Li Yuanfang who was looking at me and waiting for further instructions.
"No" Li Yuanfang received the order in a deep voice and then strode out of the hall. Dozens of guards rushed out of the mansion gate and headed straight for the governments inside and outside Chang'an City and the garrisons.
The moonlit night is cool, and there is no heat during the day, and even the early autumn wind will cool down. I rode my horse on the hill beside the avenue, looking to the east with the moonlight, and you can see that the water of the Wei River is like a winding silver dragon, coming from the west and going east, and the silver light shines endlessly. On the edge of the Wei River, a long fire dragon winds and goes west, and the rumbling sound of hooves resounds throughout the night sky like the thunder rolling and rolling thunder.
"It's really spectacular. This is the first time for a blatant journey to the night." The Yaoguang girl beside her sighed softly, her bright silver armored body looked so eye-catching under the moonlight, and her black gem-like eyes shining brightly.
"Haha, now that the entire Guanzhong is in my hands, there is naturally no need to hide at night. Unfortunately, the cement straight road has not been repaired yet, otherwise we can be faster." I nodded with a smile and said,
Li Shimin, who was also wearing plate armor, said with envy: "If it were a cement straight road, I am afraid that the speed of infantrymen who were traveling in a carriage is not only not much slower than that of cavalry, but also can maintain energy on the carriage and fight at any time, but it is much easier than cavalry."
"Yes, if the cement straight road is built in the entire Guanzhong, as long as there are carriages, the speed of the infantry will definitely be no less than that of the cavalry." Qin Qiong also nodded repeatedly to show his approval.
While chatting here, not far away, Li Jing was looking at the map in his hand, using the moonlight to look at the shape of the Wei River so that he could find out where we were currently marching.
Seeing this guy so serious, I felt a little embarrassed to see our brothers brag and spank here. But since he worked so hard, let him take it seriously. It would be good for us to exercise his abilities and it would be better for us to have a little leisure time.
Although Li Shimin is not a subordinate of this young master, after hearing something, this guy followed Yao Guang over with shamelessness and strongly demanded to appreciate my young master's military battle. Yao Guang's sister was naturally unwilling to be asked to participate. In desperation, she had to follow their wishes. Anyway, she was a group of generals who were very idle, so it would be better to go out for a walk, so that she would not become obese after staying at home for a long time. For example, Cheng Yaojin, according to what he said, he had grown at least five kilograms of meat during his stay in Chang'an, which was suitable for losing weight.
In order to hurry up, this time we set out with the First Imperial Guard Cavalry Division and two temporary cavalry divisions, totaling more than 13,000 cavalry. The scale of such a cavalry is unprecedented. At least I have never seen such a spectacular scene, with more than 13,000 cavalry rumbled.
"Lord, we have been traveling for three hours since we set out from Chang'an. It is about twenty miles away from Zhouzhi County. Should we set up camp and rest first, and it is better to get a horsepower back?" Li Jing, who had finished reading the map, rode his horse and walked closer to report the report.
"How far is this place from that county?" I looked at the west, and it was still pitch black in the distance, and the people around me were all yawning, with a look of tiredness.
"There are about 140 miles left, and now I am already in the Yin hour."
"Well, the road cannot be completed at this time. I will order the three armies to rest on the spot and set out at 3 o'clock tomorrow. In any case, we must arrive in Zheng County at the intersection of Shen and You tomorrow to quell the rebellion." I nodded and ordered.
After hearing this order, the cavalrymen who were almost exhausted from the journey could not help but cheer. After getting off the horse, they set up a tent in the open space next to the road and drilled in. Soon, the snoring sounds continued.
This young master was very polite and polite to check it out, but the soldiers were all exhausted and wanted to die of death. Before I could come to the front, I went to meet Zhou Gong in the tent.
Not long after I lay down, someone came to report that he received a messenger from Zheng County to Chang'an for rescue. The messenger was dressed as a commoner, and his clothes were hung with several holes.
The news brought by this guy made my son's mood suddenly sink to the bottom. The Chen family in the county is the largest clan in Zheng County. There are many children in the clan. They joined the county as clerks or lords. Chen Zun, the third son of the clan leader Chen Yun, was even the county magistrate of Zheng County. When the Chen family rebelled and attacked the county town of Zheng County, the Chen family members who worked in the county yamen also joined the rebellion industry.
