Chapter 669 The Mang army in the commander’s tent discusses politics, and the war on Hulukou begins to begin
“If you want to die, don’t die in a Northern Liang with barren land, narrow territory, go to the rich Central Plains, go to the city of Tai’an, go to the coast of the South China Sea!”
The Hanlin predecessor of the Liyang Dynasty compiled “History of the Northern Han Dynasty”, and was not reluctant to write. Unlike the deliberate belittlement of the East Yue and the Southern Tang, they were particularly grateful to the Northern Han, especially Jizhou, and called it “the heroes of Jizhou”. “All of them were generous warriors, and they would not be worthy of their heroic spirit after death.” However, in the confrontation with the people of the Northern Han Army, the Fan family, one after another, went to death after the Han family, and was finally killed by the whole family. After the veteran Yang Shenxing took the lead in the Jizhou old soldiers being trapped in Guangling Road, the bravery of Jizhou was exhausted. Jizhou was like an old man who was dissatisfied with his old age, and he was really old after all.
As the sun sets, the city of Hengshui City, located at the forefront of Jibei, the two stood side by side in the afterglow.
The man wearing a civil servant uniform in Liyang is in his forties. He is elegant in temperament, but his face has the rough and vicissitudes of living in the border for a long time. He was Wei Jingtang, the guardian of Hengshui City. He was the second in the ninth year of Yonghui, but he did not choose to use the Hanlin Academy as a springboard for the officialdom to accumulate popularity. He first observed politics in the Ministry of War for half a year, and soon took the initiative to ask the position of Zhang Julu to transfer to the border. The Chief Auxiliary only agreed half of his agreement and agreed to his external transfer, but did not agree to Wei Jingtang to go to Liaodong. So Wei Jingtang came to Jizhou, first serving as the county magistrate in Jinan. As his official rank grew higher and higher, the jurisdiction of his ruler became closer and closer to the Jizhou border, until he became the chief official in command of the military and political affairs of Hengshui City, Jizhou. It is just a fourth-rank official. As long as you don’t get involved in border trade, you can’t even compare with the county magistrates in Jiangnan. In terms of official prestige, he is much worse than the group of outstanding candidates who were smooth sailing in the same year of the imperial examination. There was a fellow villager who was only a senior and a Jinshi in the same year. He had a rift with him when he was young and was just a head of the Ministry of War in the capital. He has been wearing small shoes for so many years. Previously, the Ministry of War officials were observing the border. A colleague of the Ministry of War, who was the same year, sent a letter to Wei Jingtang. In the letter, he asked gloatingly, “How is the wind and sand in the northwest?” and even threatened to let him drink for the rest of his life in Hengqiu, a place where birds do not shit. Wei Jingtang smiled at this. The same year he clung to Shinsanlang in the capital, probably would never be able to understand. How charming the desert border in his eyes was, and how could a scholar give up his pen and join the army without regretting it!
The young general standing beside Wei Jingtang was Yu Luandao, the young general of more than 10,000 cavalry troops in Youzhou.
Outside the Beimang Cavalry’s demonstration, Liu Yanlang gave up Yinyao City, leaving only some old, weak and disabled soldiers, and more than a dozen officials who did not know how to respect Shangguan and were left to die. Yu Luandao’s cavalry did not rush to enter the city, but instead stationed outside Yinyao City, and then found that there was no movement in Hengshui City. Then, two days ago, they entered the city alone to find Wei Jingtang. Later, Yu Luandao’s subordinates took over the granary of Yinyao City. Wei Jingtang can actually manage it as usual, but he just turned a blind eye to it, and some subordinates areIndignantly, Wei Jingtang said only one sentence: “We in Hengshui City cannot move silver harrier and food. Someone will lose his official position if he takes one, but what if he is treated as an invasion by the Beimang barbarians and handed it over to those who are willing to draw their swords from Beimang?”
In addition to wearing the famous ancestral sword “Da Luan”, the handsome Yu Luan sword also has a brand new cold knife that is also eye-catching. He asked softly, “Mr. Wei, I can’t figure it out. But I still want to thank you for your behalf on behalf of Beiliang.”
Wei Jingtang was speechless, with a firm expression, looking at the vast yellow sand desert.
Not moving south is a crime; allowing silver harness and food to be occupied by the Youzhou cavalry is even more crime. If the Ministry of War’s Guanzong official wrote a book after returning to Beijing and said a few words similar to the incompetent governance in the memorial, it would be another crime.
The punishment of multiple crimes is enough for Wei Jingtang to lose his head.
The old brothers who had a life-changing relationship in Hengqiu City didn’t understand. Some people almost wanted to tie him up to Jinan directly, saying that if they were there to defend Hengshui City, you, Wei Jingtang, were not alone.
But Wei Jingtang still stood here in the end.
Yu Luandao smiled and said, “Although some people from Jizhou take risks to support my 10,000 cavalry, they still have to be stretched today if they don’t have the Silver Harrier Granary. Then Yuan Tingshan can’t wait to give me some color to see.”
Wei Jingtang said unbiasedly, “Although his character is like a clown who is disgusting, he has to admit that this person is quite good at managing and using military forces.”
Yu Luandao looked at the wisps of wolf smoke rising tens of miles away, and smiled and said, “Mr. Wei, just think that Yu is angry with you. Today I will teach you something. Although the Youzhou cavalry is not as good as the Liangzhou cavalry, it is much stronger than your Jibei cavalry.”
