New Story of Lv Bu

: Chapter 14: Taking Office (3)

Early the next morning, everyone had a hangover before they woke up. Just after breakfast, someone came to inform that Wuyuan County Zhongqu had arrived. Wang Jin quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked out of the post house with a bunch of people. Just south of the post house is a school ground, only three hundred steps away from the post house, and everyone was there in a moment when they were in a car.

The school grounds are small and can accommodate up to three thousand people. Looking up, there were hundreds of people on one side of the school, wearing red armor, who were resting after lunch. As soon as Wang Jin and others entered the playground, the officers quickly stood up and formed a group of five small squares. There are two flags in front of the formation, one is a square flag, black-faced red characters, one Chinese character above, and the other is a long vertical flag, white-faced black characters, from top to bottom are five large characters: Wuyuan Junzhongqu.

Wang Jin stepped forward and watched carefully. There were more than four hundred soldiers, all of them had dark and yellow faces and bright armor. They seemed to have seen a few battles. At this time, the **** officer went to the front fork to report that it turned out to be just a dub in charge of fifty people. Wang Jin's face is a bit darker, how come you don't see a new officer? The caretaker Dub's face was not good, and he quickly explained carefully. "Shijun Mingjian, the former Zhongqu Junhou was the confidant of the former Wuyuan prefect Zhang Gao. He led the army to attack the dignitaries at night, and the whole army was gone. These people are all newly recruited. Huang Changshi has something to say. Jun Dingran brought the children of the clan to come, so the officer should be empty first."

Wang Jin suddenly realized that Zhang Gao's affairs were clear to him, and Huang Changshi was very kind, and indeed he could no longer be harsh. That's also good, it saves you having to spend your time thinking about it. Wang Jin stepped forward and comforted a few words, announcing that everyone had a reward of fifty dollars, the officer doubled it and cashed it in Jiuyuan City. The faces of the soldiers suddenly showed joy. Wang Jin took advantage of the situation and ordered Wang Han to reorganize his troops and start pulling out early the next morning. Wang Jin has spent more than ten years in his career. Although he is a flowery Yulin, he has led soldiers after all, and he knows that the five baht is true for these big soldiers. Canglin knows the etiquette in fact, and the ancients are not deceived by me!

Hetao at the end of the first month is the coldest time. The snow everywhere was blown by the north wind, exposing large areas of land. From time to time, there was a whirlwind, and the rolled up snow particles hit the face with fiery pain. Even if there is no wind, it is dry and cold. Even if he is wearing thick winter clothes, his face is covered with sackcloth, his body is still shivering with cold. Under such circumstances, driving on the road is the most suffering. After sitting for half an hour, the whole body will be frozen and I have to go down and walk for a while.

The sun rose slowly, and the wind was much smaller, at least there was no whirlwind. People's hearts also warmed up, and their mouths began to move, making innocent jokes.

Wang Jin was wearing fox fur, felt boots, and a mink hat on his head. He rode up and down on the horse, looking like a dough-like trader. Originally, he was sitting on the frame, but the long journey was really boring, so he had to go out and take a breath of fresh air.

"There are still eighty li, everyone in a hurry, you can sleep comfortably when you arrive in Jiuyuan City!" "My lord, is the wine and meat tube enough?" Someone talked. "Enough care, eat whatever you want, don't eat and hold on." "Good!" Everyone's interest immediately rose, and they began to talk about dinner dishes. Fish and sheep stew and fat sheep stew are the most popular.

Listening to the mixed discussions among the followers, Wang Jin's heart was also a little relaxed. There were still 80 li, he was the prefect, the heaven above the 40,000 soldiers and civilians of Wuyuan County. This means that his life has entered brilliance from this moment on. It is the dream of every scholar to enter Jiuqing and become the prefect. It has finally come true today. What kind of scene will Jiuyuan City greet itself with? meet? Suddenly, Wang Jin felt that something was wrong, and a word was in a daze in his mind, always unable to grasp it.

"Shijun, something is wrong." A voice interrupted Wang Jin's thoughts. Wang Jin raised his eyes to see that it was Zhang Lin, who quickly asked with a smile. "What's wrong?" "It's only eighty miles away. It stands to reason that someone in the city should be greeted. At least a few people come here to tell me, how can I not even see a personal shadow?" It turned out that something was wrong here, and there was no taste of welcoming Shangguan at all. When the new official took office, he was unwilling to leave a harsh impression on the Wuyuan officialdom, so he smiled slightly and waved lightly. "I think it's too cold and everyone doesn't want to go far, or is it ahead. We hurry up and it will be clear in a while."

Wang Jin's words did not dispel Zhang Lin's doubts, and such negligence would never appear in officialdom. He thought about it, and sent a few more groups of scouts to be careful, and he wouldn't make a big mistake. Long later, when Zhang Lin recalled the incident, he said something. "I had an intuition at the time that something was going to happen! There was a voice urging me to go, hurry up! So I sent a few more groups of scouts, deliberately holding on to the troops to slow down. Without these measures, these people would just It's all over. When I arrived in Jiuyuan City, I went to the Taoist Temple and worshipped the gods the next day. People must know to be grateful, don't you think?"

The team continued to advance, and walked another thirty miles, and came to a hill. The hill is no more than a hundred feet high, about two hundred and thirty meters for later generations. There is a big tree on the mountain, more than ten feet high, thick and intertwined, with a crown and pavilion like a canopy. The mountains are full of shrubs and snow, making the trees extra powerful. The hill is a rare stone mountain, to the south is a cliff, the cliff is covered with reddish-brown rocks.

"This place is protected from the wind, everyone rest, boil some water and eat some dry food." Wang Jin got off his horse and stretched out his stiff limbs. Zhang Lin moved his mouth and closed it. According to what he meant, he went straight to Jiuyuan City in a rush, the farther away from the danger, the better. But Shijun had already spoken, and he couldn't refute it anymore. The prestige of Shangguan was maintained by his subordinates.

Zhang Lin has been in Bingzhou for several years, and he has been hitting dozens of feet. He feels more and more strongly that something must happen today. He shook his head, trying to get the idea out of his mind. "Zhao Huer, did you see the tree on the top of the mountain? Climb up, take a closer look around, and open your eyes. The lives of these hundreds of people are in your hands!" "Good!" A young man of about 20 years old Flew away, Zhao Hu'er, who was born in the frontier fortress orion, a family of thirteen, all folded in the hands of the Xianbei, was thrown into the army in anger. He has one strong point, he has excellent eyesight, and he can see clearly the goals of activities dozens of miles away.

Wang Han's performance was pretty good. He set up his subordinates to bury the pot and boil water to rebel. He patrolled around and did not forget to send guards. Wang Jin nodded secretly when he saw it, hoping that Lao Wang Liao's meal could beat the prodigal son back.

The soldiers opened the marching pot, boiled hot water, sprinkled with millet, and then sprinkled with some minced meat. After a while, the steaming meat porridge was ready. Everyone drank a few bowls full, and some hot sweat broke out on their bodies, and the sweat pores were warm. After eating, I cleaned up the pots and bowls, packed up and prepared to go on the road. At this time, Zhao Huer shouted from the tree: "Tutorial, there is a situation!"

Zhang Lin strode Meteor to feel the top of the mountain, and he hugged the trunk with both hands, brushed a few strokes and got up. "What's the arrogance? Where is the situation?" Zhao Hu'er pointed to the north, Zhang Lin opened his eyes and looked carefully. Between the snow and the large exposed grassland, there are some slowly moving small black spots. The darker the spots become. The more they came, they looked like a team of cavalry, with more than a thousand people. "Look carefully at the flag, what color is it?" Zhao Hu'er looked carefully for a long while, the white vertical flag, which seemed to be an animal head. "Is it right?" "It's true!" "It's the Xianbei, the wolf flag of the Xianbei, is an enemy and not a friend. Hurry down." Zhang Lin slid down the tree trunk and ran under the cliff in two steps. At a glance, in the direction of the north, three Han army scouts were racing towards the hill! It seems to be conclusive.

Hearing this news, Wang Jin was stunned. It was not a good sign that something like this happened on the first day of taking office! But his years of **** career made him cover up very well, as if thinking about countermeasures. "Good come!" A big head popped out, his face was red with excitement, it turned out to be Wang Han. "Shijun, let's fight a battle, and let Xianbei people know how powerful the frontier army is!"

Zhang Lin squinted and looked up and down Wang Han a few times. "Wang Junhou, let's discuss the matter. The order I received is to **** you into Jiuyuan City. If you want to fight, you have to send these hundreds of vehicles into the city before you fight. There must be a garrison in Jiuyuan City. Better? According to my idea, the Xianbei people can arrive in half an hour at the earliest, taking advantage of this empty space to advance to the city, and then decide to defend." There was a word he didn't say, this is not the village or the ground. Another accident will be all over.

Wang Jin looked at Wang Han, then at Zhang Lin, and waved. "Go, let's talk about Xiancheng. At this time, the first battle in office, if you want to fight, you must win. Zhangtun Chief is Laobian County, what he said is right!" The crowd surrounded Wang Jin, two cavalry guards, stepping. The **** rides in the center, behind Zhang Lin's palace.

The Xianbei people arrived in an instant, and everyone speeded up and ran quickly. The run was thirty li. Wang Jin controlled the horse's speed and immediately observed the terrain in the distance. Four or five miles away were two small hills. The hills were about a hundred meters high, which was 230 meters in later generations, but they twisted and twisted continuously from the north to the south. Between the hills is a small road two to three feet wide. After passing the hill, the eyes suddenly open up, and it is a flat land, and the city of Jiuyuan stands majestically ten miles away. From a distance, the gates of Jiuyuan City are closed, and there are faint people on the walls. Wang Jin's face sank immediately. The prefect had already arrived under the city, but the four gates were closed and no one greeted him. What did this mean?

"Go, go into the city, see what they have to say?" Wang Jin sneered and beat his horse down the mountain. The subordinates knew that the prince was angry, and they changed their saw-mouthed gourds one by one, and quietly followed up quietly. The ancients said that the gentleman should not stand under the dangerous wall, and it is the right thing to leave this place of right and wrong quickly!
