Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 66: Cangyuan City Besieged

Zhao Lei, guard of Geshan County Governor Zhao Mincheng’s guard, sighed and said to Quyang County Magistrate Zhao Hanzhi: “Seven Masters, just four days ago, a group of tens of thousands of bandits suddenly surrounded Cangyuan City. The Patriarch’s general Ge Peng led 600 The cavalry fought with three thousand infantrymen, and they were defeated. Not only did they lose nearly 400 cavalrymen and almost 2,000 infantrymen, but also General Ge Peng was beheaded by a member of the gangsters. Now the gangsters have continued to attack Cang. The Yuancheng attacked for three days, and the soldiers in the city suffered great losses. The family owner had to send more than a dozen of our guards from Ximen at night to fight the encirclement of the gangsters, to the counties of Geshan County and the state capital of Wanzhou for help."

   At this time, an aide by the side of Quyang County Magistrate Zhao Hanzhi asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the name of the gangster?"

   "It has been ascertained that the head of the bandit is the Great Dragon Zhang Ding!"

Hearing that the leader of the gangsters is Sky Dragon Zhang Ding, and that Quyang County magistrate Zhao Hanzhi and several staff and generals around him couldn’t help but take a breath. We must know that the gangsters Zhang Ding is very famous among the gangsters in Wanzhou. Characters, the subordinates only had more than 15,000 soldiers. Last year they broke through a county seat in Wanzhou and slaughtered all the families of the county magistrate and all the powerful families in the county seat.

The Zhou Mu of Wanzhou dispatched five thousand court troops to suppress Zhang Ding, but was caught in an ambush by Zhang Ding. The five thousand court troops did not keep one out of ten. Instead, Zhang Ding seized a large number of weapons. , Armor, bows and arrows, and war horses, the strength has not decreased but increased, but he did not expect that now the Qingtianlong Zhang Ding would actually attack the idea of ​​Cangyuan City, the prefecture of Geshan County.

The county magistrate of Quyang, Zhao Hanzhi, said to Zhao Lei, the guardian of the prefect Zhao Mincheng: "Cangyuan City is the foundation of our Zhao family. We must not lose sight of it. The officer will fire up troops as soon as possible and set off to Cangyuan City! Zhao Lei, go and rest first! "

   "Yes, Master Seven." Zhao Lei was immediately taken to rest.

   Zhao Hanzhi sighed and said to the civil and military officials under his command: "We must save Cangyuan City. As for the reason, I will not say, everyone knows in their hearts. If there is a loss in Cangyuan City, maybe our Geshan Zhao family will be gone."

At this moment, the staff member said in a deep voice: "Lord, we only have more than a thousand soldiers. Even if we add the soldiers and horses of the twelve new school lieutenants from the powerful family in the county seat, it will look like they are in their early three thousand years. We need to keep soldiers and horses to guard. In this case, our Quyang County can send up to two thousand reinforcements, and apart from our Quyang County, only Lingcheng County will definitely send reinforcements. As for the other counties, there is a chance that they can send reinforcements. It's not big."

After the Da Jin imperial court promulgated the will of the prefectures, prefects, and county decrees to form the local armies of the prefectures, counties, and counties, the Zhao family, as the largest family in Geshan County, can completely control places, except for the prefecture Cangyuan City and Quyang City. In addition, there is Lingcheng, the county seat of Lingcheng County, and the magistrate of Lingcheng County is the person in charge of the third house of the Zhao family, ranking fifth among the generations of Zhao Mincheng and Zhao Hanzhi.

Another staff member said at this time: "Lord, the reinforcements that Lingcheng County can send may be about the same as ours. Two thousand people are already a major barrier. With the reinforcements of our two counties, I want to solve the problem of Cangyuan City. Siege is not so easy, not to mention the stray bandit besieging Cangyuan City, it is the Great Sky Dragon Zhang Ding!"

The county magistrate of Quyang, Zhao Hanzhi, frowned and said: “The five counties to which Geshan County belongs, and the other three counties are controlled by three families. Although these three families usually respect our Zhao family, but at this moment of life-threatening. , They will never venture to rescue Cangyuan City. As for the state capital of Wanzhou and other counties and counties, I think it is unlikely to be able to rescue Cangyuan City. After all, our Zhao family and that Sunzhou Mu have always had a deep relationship. Now let’s talk about the contradiction between the two, is there any other way?"

"Master, don’t we have thousands of soldiers and horses outside Quyang City? If we can let the soldiers and horses going to Qianzhou to guard the border together with our soldiers and horses from Quyang County to rescue Cangyuan City, then Cangyuan City will be relieved. The certainty has increased a lot." A staff member suggested.

Quyang County Magistrate Zhao Hanzhi nodded, and said to one of his trusted school lieutenants: "Zhao Jie, please go out of the city to invite the generals of this frontier team, and he said that I will host a banquet at Mingyue Tower tonight. Appreciate the light."

   Mingyue Tower is the largest brothel in Quyang County. It is very famous even in the entire territory of Wanzhou. It is one of the best places in Wanzhou, and it is as famous as the Hongxiang Pavilion in Beining City, the capital of Wanzhou Prefecture.

   At this time, an aide under Zhao Hanzhi said to Zhao Jie: "You can tell the news of Cangyuan City's besieged city to the generals of this frontier team, so as not to cause him unnecessary suspicion."

   Zhao Hanzhi nodded his head. After all, he didn't let people enter the city, but now he has nothing to do to invite them to a banquet. There is no reason why they may not come to the city for a banquet. Who knows if you have any bad intentions!

After Zhao Jie left, Zhao Hanzhi ordered the other two confidant school lieutenants to immediately rectify the soldiers and horses and prepare to rescue Cangyuan City. At the same time, 12 new lieutenants from the 12 powerful families in the county town ~www.wuxiahere.com~ were immediately deployed. Horse, follow along to rescue Cangyuan City.

   Next, Zhao Hanzhi turned his head and asked one of his staff members: "Mr. Sun, how much benefit do you think we have to pay to impress the general of the frontier team?"

The staff surnamed Sun hesitated and said, "Lord, at this time, I can't bear to bear the children and can't help the wolf. The subordinates suggest that the lord directly pay 50,000 taels of silver. If the general of the frontier team is not satisfied, we can add more. Good, now Cangyuan City is the most important to us."

  "50 thousand taels of silver?" Zhao Hanzhi's brows frowned. You must know that 50 thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if Zhao Hanzhi can take it out, it feels very distressed.

The staff surnamed Sun went on to say, "We don’t need to give this money right away. I think Dafang will happily take out this money once the siege of Cangyuan City can be solved, even if we make more promises to the frontier general. High, as long as the siege of Cangyuan City can be solved, Dafang will definitely accept it."

Zhao Hanzhi's brows stretched out, "This officer is not reluctant to pay, but in these days to expand more than a thousand local troops, the officer has already paid a lot of silver. If we really let the officer put out 50,000 taels of silver, then we Qu Yang The county's next military expansion plan is bound to be affected."

For more than 400 years in the Dajin Dynasty, the recruitment system has been implemented. Whether it is a border army or a banned army, as well as local troops stationed in various places to maintain local law and order, they generally adopt the method of recruitment. It is also common for husbands to be incorporated into the army in the Da Jin army. Now the Da Jin imperial government asks the prefectures, prefects, and county magistrates to form local armies. Forcibly arresting young and strong men into the army is more common, but even if it is a forced arrest The young and strong men of the United States have to pay payment after being enlisted in the army.
