Hedong.
Pingyang.
Originally, Pingyang County was invaded by the Hu people for many years, which was destroyed and was abandoned for a long time. Now, under the cavalry, glory has been restored. It has three walls, and the city walls stretch for more than twenty miles, and it has a strong attitude of a strong city that embraces the prosperity of rivers.
As an important town in Hedong and the fief of General Cavalry, a huge city wall system was built in Pingyang City, forming a fortress-style defense system that almost surpassed this era.
The most core part is the large-scale system of the Cavalry Office, which is similar to a palace. After years of continuous construction and replenishment, it is somewhat magnificent and magnificent, with continuous corridors of houses and dense courtyards. The scale is so grand that it can almost be comparable to the royal palace of the Han Dynasty.
It is even more grand than the Cavalry Office in Chang'an.
This is also a natural thing, after all, Pingyang is Fei Qian's fiefdom.
Does anyone like their own houses that are dilapidated?
The fields near Pingyang have now been reclaimed nearly 200,000 mu. Dozens of villages of all sizes are distributed among these reclaimed fields, and ditches built with cement and stone slabs are connected. Water trucks of all sizes are distributed on the river channel, providing a continuous stream of water for these canals.
On the side of Pingyang, the guarding mountain academic palace has always been low-key and simple in style. On the other side, there is a huge military camp and schoolyard, with direct guards belonging to Pingyang, which are stationed all year round and echoing the defenders in Pingyang City.
For these Pingyang defenders, equipment and equipment are undoubtedly the best. In addition, they were selected from various troops. Most of them were elite veterans who had been on the battlefield and fought with the Xianbei in the north, almost the same as Feiqian's direct escort in Chang'an. The military law requires extremely strictness, the team is extremely clean, and there is a stern look everywhere. The entire army is strict and rude.
These soldiers are not good-looking. If a war really happens, the soldiers from Pingyang must be able to immediately support the four directions of east, west, south, and north. Therefore, no matter whether they have experience in the battle formation, immediately taking off their abilities, and the command ability of the generals is indispensable.
The only thing is that the commander general is missing...
Of course, this was also intentionally arranged by Fei Qian. In Pingyang, there are powerful middle-level officers, elite veterans, daily training, etc., and there is no need for general commander at all. Just a civil servant who knows a little bit of military affairs is responsible for logistics and overall arrangements. If something really happens, you only need to transfer the general to the battle immediately!
In addition, there is Huang Cheng in Shangjun, Li Dian in Yinshan, Zhang Ji in Shangdang, and Sanfu in Chang'an. This arrangement is the safest. No one will worry that Pingyang's soldiers are too elite and cause some unnecessary suspicion.
A team led out of the city gate and handed over the troops with his subordinates and the previous squad of guards. The two teams were together, recording and whispering to each other on the handover file. The soldiers they led were not as hilarious as ordinary soldiers in counties and counties, but instead changed positions silently.
The handover went smoothly, as usual.
The successor team asked casually: "How is today?"
The team leader in the previous class answered casually: "What else can I do? Is it going to be spring now? There are too many caravans and nothing else. Besides, who dares to make trouble here?"
The successor team nodded: "Although the crowds are complicated, it can also sharpen the temperament of the soldiers and men. It is not a bad thing for the new general to have strict requirements on military discipline. After all, we can also know that we are well-trained and have excellent assessments!"
The team leader of the previous team nodded: "Brothers said that those who are corrupt and earn money nowadays are all those who are very literary and sour scholars. They are really not as good as our real achievements! If you do well, even if you leave the army, you will have a good way out, which can be considered as leaving a family fortune for your descendants! This matter cannot be misleading!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then said hello. The team leader of the previous squad was about to leave, and suddenly remembered something again and said: "There were some people coming to the Wang family in Taiyuan early in the morning... It seemed that there was some movement..."
The successor team nodded and said, "I have heard of this incident... I dare to smuggle in Yinshan, the northern part of the world, it's just a boring life! Who was the relative of the General of the Cavalry a few years ago..."
The team leader of the previous squad glared at him, "You can also say about General Cavalry?"
"I'm speechless... Thank you for your advice..." The successor knew that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned pale, so he stopped talking and called on the soldiers to start the patrol and the search.
Swallow
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance, and several riders were galloping.
Today is sunny and the sight is very good. These riders are galloping. Maybe they know that they have arrived at the ground, and the people on the horseback no longer care about their horsepower. Several horses seem to be about to fly!
"The person who comes stops! Go into the city and dismounts!"
Although there is no rule that horses are not allowed around Pingyang, the city gate has always been about to rush, but there is no reason to rush forward casually. Even the banner raised by the people on the horse is under the command of the cavalry, but as long as it is not a particularly urgent messenger, it is not allowed to ride a horse into the city directly.
As the order was issued, the soldiers stationed at the city gate immediately blocked the city gate, and the spear was erected, and the soldiers took off their bows and arrows, put them on the strings, and could shoot them at any time!
The team leader shouted again, "Go into the city and dismount! Don't hit the city gate! Go further and you will shoot an arrow!"
The cavalry quickly strangled the horse and replied loudly: "I am the messenger of the county magistrate of Puziwang. I have something important to report to the Prime Minister Xun!" With his shouting, the man had already taken off the leather tube with the documents on his back and raised it high. There was a bright light paint on the leather tube, which could be seen clearly even if it was a distance of dozens of steps.
Well, it was really a messenger, just a low-level messenger.
"It's not that it's 600 miles to speed up, who gave you the courage?!" The team leader waved his hand and asked someone to go up to check. "If you really want to let go, will you be wronged if you shoot to death?"
"An urgent matter, really urgent matter!" The messenger also shouted, "How can you not be anxious about life and death?"
Life and death urgent?
The team leader was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what the previous shift said, "Is there really something wrong with the Wang family in Taiyuan?"
…(;￢￿￢)?(*–-)?…
Taiyuan.
Taiyuan is right upstream of the Fen River.
In the era when there were many vegetation in the Han Dynasty, even between Taiyuan and Linfen, Pingyang, there was a small marina, which was called "wetland" in later generations...
Because of this, the overall environment of Taiyuan was considered a very good area until the Tang Dynasty, and even became the birthplace of the Tang King.
From Hedong to Taiyuan, and even through Shiling Pass to Changshan, which is the Sanggan River Basin in later generations. The series of areas are like three or four eggs sandwiched between two mountains. They are oblique and slightly oval basin with rivers passing through them. The place where the egg yolk is rich land, raising countless Chinese people, and it is also a miracle created by nature's magical craftsmanship.
There is a villa in the southern suburbs of Taiyuan City, near Mount Huo.
There is one thing about the villa here, which is that there is a hot spring in the mountains that flow down. Even in winter, it is still warm and pleasant, making the pine trees in the villa lush with green plants, white mist in the pond, and the rocky mountains are extraordinary.
In such a villa, it is naturally not a place where ordinary people can stay.
This person is so big that he has everything, and sometimes he will inevitably appear strangely. For example, some people have to lie on the body of ordinary people to suck blood, and on the other hand, they have to pretend to be arrogant and unparalleled, just like the Wen family in Taiyuan...
The Wen family in Taiyuan was originally a prefect, but unfortunately, the Wen family in Shangdang could not sit steadily and fell down. Later, the Wen family in Taiyuan also couldn't sit steadily, and Ergou landed on the ground.
But the fallen dog will never think it is his own problem.
There is a saying that once the sea was invincible, but after all, it was salty and wet, so we couldn't go back.
In the backyard of the villa, a small island in the middle of the pond was built in the middle of the pond, connecting the inside and outside through a bridge. Although there is no conciseness, under the rising white fog of the hot spring, the maid came and went on it in a thin shirt, and her figure fell and appeared, which was a unique flavor.
There is a high meeting in the small pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake.
In the pavilion, there were high-quality white thatched mats and tables of utensils. The two of them were sitting, talking and laughing, and they seemed quite close. In addition, some maids were kneeling at the table to serve, adding wine and cloth dishes.
The person in the upper part of the table had a big ear and a little short beard, with a steady expression. He was wearing a brocade shirt and holding a small jade Ruyi. He turned around and played with it. Although there was a smile on his face, it made people feel a little distance.
The person sitting next to him was a teenager with a white face and no beard, but his body was quite strong. Perhaps he was not as old as a crown. He just tied his hair in a vain and draped it on his shoulders. He was eating barbecue a little lazy, but his eyes were always wandering around the chests and legs of these thin-shirted maids in front of him.
The older young people are the sons of Wen, called Wen Cheng, and the younger ones are the sons of Wang, Wang Huai, who had arrived in Chang'an before.
Wang Huaimo is said to be the product of Wang Yun's son, Wang Chen and a Hu Ji Chunfeng. As for whether others believe it or not, it is mainly because the old men from the Wang family in Taiyuan are willing to believe it, and that will be true.
Wang Yun died early, Wang Chen died early, and Wang Hei died early. After three days, Wang Yun's lineage was originally Owo, but unexpectedly, Emperor Liu Xie gave him a title!
Immediately, my flesh and bones were dead!
But the problem is, Wang Ying is a woman...
If Wang Ying was a little older and wanted to get married, this title could still be considered a member of the Wang family. Wouldn't Wang Ying become someone else's when the next generation came out?
Who are the people who are willing to marry into the family?
Hanlu is there, and the son-in-law is treated the same as the prisoner. If it is not really time to be able to survive, how can a better person choose to marry into a marriage?
So is it troublesome?
There is trouble, and the older Wang Ying is, the more trouble it is.
If you have trouble, you must be prepared, so Wang Huai just shouted and it appeared...
Wang Huai has some Hu blood, a young man is precocious, and shows amazing talent in martial arts. He is only ten years old, and he is violent and brave. He goes to the mountains to hunt many times, and dares to chase the bears when he rides one by one. It scares the Wang family's servants' faces look like earth, for fear that the kid will accidentally break in again.
The bears near Taiyuan are generally mostly black bears, and Wang Huai has many people, so the bears are not that stupid. When they see that the situation is not good, they will run away, but this does not prevent people from starting to build momentum for Wang Huai, saying that Wang Huai will definitely be a fierce general in the future and will definitely inherit Wang Yun's glory...
Uh? Is Wang Yun taking the literary route?
That doesn't matter.
What is important is "inheritance".
Wen's son laughed.
The son of Wang laughed.
In fact, neither of them looked down on each other.
"Brother Wang likes that?" Wen Cheng pointed to the maids who were busy at the meal and smiled, "Just say a word, I'll give you my brother!"
Wang Huai laughed, "Then I'm not polite, I'll send it all, I won't pick it..."
Wen Cheng's face suddenly collapsed. After a while, he laughed and changed the subject, "Brother Wang, if you can make the decision, I will give you double it, it's okay, but you... when your sister says something, don't you send it back obediently?"
Wang Huai snorted, but didn't tell anything. He just picked up the wine and drank it, and then said, "After saying that, what did you ask me to do? Go around, when will it be? It's boring! Otherwise, you and I will go into the mountain to hunt bears?!"
Wen Cheng cursed in his heart, but his smile remained unchanged. "You are not anxious about hunting... But in this situation, how can you not be anxious? If you don't stand up and express your opinion, how can you make people live for your life?"
Wang Huaiyi curled his lips: "Isn't it like this if I'm going to be the one who wants to be reborn? Can you still be replaced by others?"
"Ahem. You can't say that," Wen Cheng said, "When should we treat people with national talents, and talents should be rewarded with national talents..."
Wang Huai curled his lips, stood up and prepared to leave, "I don't understand these. Okay, if you don't hunt, you won't hunt. I'm leaving, thank you...
Seeing Wang Huai leaving, Wen Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled it, "Brother, brother! Stay a little, stop a little... You all retreat!" Yingying around responded and retreated.
"Hey, don't leave, why are you doing? I can't do this." Wang Huai looked at Wen Cheng with a slanted eye.
"I'm...hee! Tell me the serious business, come, sit down." Wen Cheng greeted, and after sitting down again, Fang Shi lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard the news that it was Yinshan North Military Village, and caught a group of people who were smuggling with the Hu people..."
"What does this have to do with me?" Wang Huai frowned.
『Hehe…』 Wen Cheng stretched his head low, his eyes rolled upwards, 『I heard that smugglers confessed that it was your Wang family…』
Wang Huai's face changed and he said furiously: "That bastard dares to frame Wang?! If not, I have to ask them to explain clearly!"
『Uh, uh, don't be anxious, brother, don't be anxious...』 Wen Cheng quickly comforted, 『I think, this is still an opportunity... a good opportunity, think about it, I mean, this is an opportunity! Come on, listen to me...』
Wen Cheng's voice was getting lower and lower.
After hearing this, Wang Huai widened his eyes and said, "I have to say thank you so?"
『Thank you, there is no need to...』 Wen Cheng smiled and said, 『I'm all for my brother's good...I'm just doing some good things, right, good things...』
"Ha!" Wang Huai stopped saying anything, left without even saying goodbye.
Wen Cheng stopped stopping this time, watching Wang Huai's figure gradually move away, and then sneered, "Taiyuan Wang Family, haha, the Taiyuan Wang Family..."
…(?▽?)/…
In Pingyang City.
Xun Chen looked at the fiery lacquer mark on the leather tube and recognized that it belonged to Wang Ling, the magistrate of Puzi County, and frowned slightly.
As the steward of Pingyang, Xun Chen is also considered the "prime kingdom" of Fei Qian's fief, so others respectfully call Xun Chen the "Pingyang".
Looking at this leather tube, Xun Chen guessed that it was probably Wang Ling who came to plead with her.
Wang Ling is also surnamed Wang and is also from the Wang family in Taiyuan. However, he is not in the same clan as Wang Yun, but he is considered to be of the same clan.
Wang Yun is actually not the case, whether it is ability or strategy. It’s just that he was a relatively orthodox person in the chaotic environment at that time, so he was remembered by Emperor Liu Xie and gave him the title of descendants of the Wang family.
In fact, it is impossible to say that Wang Ying was named a marquis. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there were five female marquis. After that, there was no female marquis in history for thousands of years. Until the famous female general Qin Liangyu, who was famous in the late Ming Dynasty, was named the Marquis of Zhongzhen.
So if we say that we can operate well, the Wang family in Taiyuan can also take advantage of the situation and continue to shine, but...
Wang Ying is in Chang'an, and Wang Ling, who has some connections, is in Puzi County. The Wang family members who stayed in their hometown in Taiyuan are inevitably of different quality without anyone watching.
Then something happened...
The smuggling matter is Wang, not Wang, and it is not just Wang. It depends on what Fei Qian means.
There were not many letters in the leather tube, and after Xun Chen read them, he pondered and said nothing.
Wang Ling defended the Wang family in Taiyuan. He said that those smugglers may not be really from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Some of them were strange and asked Xun Chen to interrogate and verify again.
The smuggler was caught by people from Li Dian in Yinshan, and Li Dian had no contact with the Wang family in Taiyuan, so he roughly interrogated them in public. After the smugglers confessed that they were from Wang family in Taiyuan, they reported it directly. It was a standard process and there was no problem.
Because the smuggler was captured by the Northern Military Village in Yinshan, this is already a merit. As for the Wang family in Taiyuan, or the later matters of the smugglers, Li Dian did not need to participate, nor did he need to participate, so Li Dian naturally did not have to cover up any need in this process.
The forest is big, what birds don’t have it?
It is not just barefoot people who take risks, but those who wear shoes sometimes give their money for profit.
Therefore, at the beginning, Xun Chen didn't care, but thought that some unworthy children might have taken the risk. However, yesterday, several Taiyuan Wang children came suddenly, saying that they were wronged. Now there is another letter from Wang Ling, Puzi County, saying that there may be problems...
There may be a problem this time.
There is a big problem.
The point of the problem is not whether there is smuggling, or who is smuggling, but why is it suddenly so much?
