Famous all over the world

As expected, Luoyang City is not what it used to be. Although Jiang She only passed by it once many years ago, his impression is that it is a prosperous town. It may not be as grand and magnificent as the capital city.At that time, the streets and alleys were crowded with people, and it was very lively, but now there are few pedestrians, and there are quite a few.

However, it seemed to be different from the place she had been passing through for days.

She waited and watched for a while, and finally realized suddenly, yes, there is still a kind of vitality in this city that has never been seen in other places before.

Although the shops on both sides are not fully open, some are still doing business as usual. Pedestrians do avoid the soldiers, but they look calm and behave calmly, unlike other places, where there are no people at all, or every time a They were all apprehensive like frightened birds.

Jiang She couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Chi Baishi, the prefect of Luoyang, who was half a step away. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he still noticed her eyes returning a smile. He thought turbulently: After all, Yan Xun took good care of Luoyang.

She arranged for people to take over the defense of the city, first went to Hanjiacang to see the surplus grain, and saw that the Yuzhou Fourth Battalion in the north of the city was almost empty, so she sent a group of people to go there, and another person camped near Cangcheng, temporarily leaving the troops left by Xue Xinghu behind. He was assigned to the Right Rear Army, and had the same post of commander as that Hao Dalong, so he took people to inspect the pastures of the army warehouse, check the ordnance and fodder, and when they all returned to the camp, it was already sunset.

At this time, she had a rough idea, so she asked everyone to go back, and thanked Qin Caisang and Chi Zhifu for accompanying and leading the way. In a blink of an eye, Hao Dalong stood still, and seemed to have something to say, so she smiled and said: "Hao Dalong Du Tong, if there is enough time, we will do it together today, but now it seems too late, and you are still tired. You will ask Qi's brothers tomorrow to find Cao Lushi to register and make a record. After the trial is over, you will decide on the types of each soldier. .”

Hao Dalong's complexion suddenly sank, and he said with an uneasy heart: "Understood. But I just don't understand, we won't stay in Luoyang for long, why bother with so many things happening?"

He has been dissatisfied for a long time. When he heard that the officers and soldiers were going to enter the city, he felt that everything was not good. When he followed him, he should immediately set up camp and go north to Jizhou; I was even more displeased with the rumors about him; later, when I heard him ask questions, and looked at this warehouse and that warehouse, I knew that he and other officers and soldiers could not trust them at all, so I couldn't help but became more and more dissatisfied; , thinking that he would be able to win over him in this way, and merged their brothers into some kind of rear army and didn't call them forwards. The more he felt that he looked down on people, and his heart was already full of fire. If it wasn't for Qin Caisang to stop him, It was time to shout.I finally endured it until now, but I still didn't see him mentioning anything about going north. I really couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately exploded.

Chi Zhifu was so frightened that he hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, but he unceremoniously pushed him back. He had seen this flattering and cheap official not pleasing to the eye for a long time. Looking at Jiang She, he said: "Also, brother Xue and Junjun Yan have been away for more than half a month. At this time, I don't know whether it is good or bad. General, please tell me, when will we go north?"

His voice was like thunder, and it could be heard outside the big tent, let alone several generals who hadn't traveled far.It's not right for everyone to leave or stay for a while, so they have to try their best to shrink themselves.During this journey, they already knew that although the newly appointed general looked very friendly, he was not easy to deal with. If he insisted on making an early decision in his heart, they would never dare to disobey it.After all, he is a noble person with golden branches and jade leaves, and he leads the emperor's envoy. He is really going to be offended. Don't talk about the future, I am afraid that his wealth and life will be ruined.

Jiang She was still the same, his tone was so calm that he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, "Brother Hao said this, is it for official business or selfishness?"

Hao Dalong said impatiently: "It's public or private, I just want you to give me an accurate statement, so why push back and forth?"

Qin Caisang wanted to say something nice and pulled him away, but when he heard him ask this again, she sighed secretly, glanced at Jiang She, and then stopped talking.

Jiang She didn't seem to have heard his words, so he said calmly, "I don't know if brother Hao thinks he is serving the people, a soldier, or a bandit?"

Hao Dalong frowned, and said in a stiff voice: "Of course it's a soldier, why do you ask this?"

"Since Hao Dutong regards himself as a soldier, he should obey the military order as his main purpose. Now, I don't think it's appropriate to shout in public and force him to ask the general about his situation." How to deal with it?"

Xing Jun, who was named by her, was also pretending to be a clay puppet and wood carving not far away. Hearing this, he had to take two steps forward and replied respectfully: "General Qi, according to the one hundred and eighth article of my Daxing military law, Those who speak disrespectfully and are disrespectful to superior officials shall be given ten sticks; those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions and disobey superior officials shall be given twenty sticks; Hao Dutong only speaks disrespectfully and has no respect for superior officials, and if he acts in a way that is inappropriate, he shall be given sticks..." He was stared at by Hao Dalong With one glance, he saw that he looked fierce and ferocious like a tiger, and he trembled slightly, "The staff should be twenty."

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer, you want to punish me, what's the point!" Hao Dalong reacted, his face flushed immediately, "I call you general, it's all for the sake of Mr. Qin, don't think it's because I'm afraid you……"

Zhifu Chi was so frightened that his legs were weak. Seeing that Qin Caisang had no intention of speaking, he had to bite the bullet and grab the words: "Hao Dutong is confused, general, you don't remember villains..."

Jiang She glanced at him, but his expression was still expressionless, but Zhifu Chi trembled, and for a moment he was speechless, unable to utter a word.She went to look at Xing Junzheng again, Xing Junzheng understood, took a breath and said: "Speaking out in public is shameless, insulting the superior is disrespectful, according to the law... you can be executed."

Hao Dalong said angrily: "What? As soon as we enter the city, are we going to kill the donkey?"

Jiang She shook his head and said, "Hao Dutong has misunderstood. The state has state laws, and the army has military regulations. Rewards and punishments are all in accordance with the laws."

Hao Dalong sneered, and was about to yell out why, but Qin Caisang had already secretly pulled him out, and said first: "The general said that military orders are like mountains, and those who have committed offenses should be punished, so there is no need to show mercy."

Hao Dalong looked at her in disbelief, "Mr. Qin!"

Qin Caisang ignored him, looked at Jiang She and said, "It's just that Brother Hao just joined the army and didn't know the military order, so he collided temporarily. Although he made a mistake, I hope the general will punish him lightly."

"Mr. Qin, please forgive me." Jiang She shook his head, "Although those who don't know are innocent, military law is ruthless, capital punishment is inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable. I will give you thirty rods. Xing Junzheng, I will supervise the punishment."

Xing Jun should be.

"Thank you General, this is an extra merciful gesture." Qin Caisang pushed Hao Dalong, "Why don't you thank the General quickly?"

Hao Dalong was reluctant, and finally cupped his hands, stood aside like a steel tower, and didn't say a word.

Jiang She paused for a moment and then said: "Xing Junzheng, after making the book tomorrow, he will preach the military law so that everyone in the army will memorize it. Today can be favoritism. Before the battle in the next day, no one who knows will follow. The principle of lightness. In addition, there are those who plead for mercy, and they will discuss the crime."

Her voice was not loud, but she concealed a bit of unquestionable determination, the surroundings were silent, so Xing Jun respectfully responded, and asked Hao Dalong to follow him.

Hao Dalong didn't say a word, and strode forward with his head held high, leaving Xing Junzheng behind.

Qin Caisang glanced at Jiang She, turned around and followed Hao Dalong without saying anything.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up, and they stepped forward to praise her for her wisdom, and said that they must follow the law to restrain the troops.Jiang She couldn't help putting on a straight face and perfunctory, watching them disperse, he leaned back tiredly, straightened up after a while, and looked for military newspapers everywhere.When Xing Jun was coming to return, seeing that Qin Caisang hadn't come with him, he sighed slightly and said a few words in a mild manner, then sent him away and continued to read the documents.

In the middle of the night, she only felt the cold wind blowing into the tent, and when she looked up, she saw that there was already an extra person in the tent. When she realized that, the smile had already crept up on the corner of her mouth, she was surprised and restrained herself, and said calmly: "It seems No matter how you patrol, you can't stop the girl."

Qin Caisang didn't seem to pay attention, so he just naturally pulled the chair and sat down, "This place is not as strict as the General's Mansion... Besides, to put it bluntly, I have been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, like a state capital, an important town, a martial arts Families of aristocratic families, princes and dignitaries' residences, are generally able to come and go freely, even the imperial palace, it may not be impossible to break into it."

"Miss Qin is still as confident as before." Jiang She smiled wryly, "Fortunately, Miss Qin is my friend, otherwise..."

Qin Caisang smiled, "What else?"

"It's nothing." Jiang She shook his head, "I have to thank you for today's matter."

"This..." Qin Caisang sighed suddenly, "Hao Dalong doesn't have much scheming, he just has a quick temper, and he always follows Brother Xue, and everyone looks up to him. After a long time, he is inevitably arrogant. Today Brother Jiang’s small punishments and big reprimands are actually not harmful to him.”

Jiang She said: "But thirty sticks are actually too heavy. Is he okay?"

A smile appeared on Qin Caisang's face, "Okay, I still have the strength to scold Brother Jiang, why not."

Jiang She also couldn't help laughing, "It's true that he is a soft-hearted person, but the army has military regulations... I'd like to ask Miss Qin to persuade me a little bit."

"I know." But...Qin Caisang thought of Hao Dalong gritted his teeth and complained to her, Jiang's family said it was all right, isn't Liangzhou City still lost?

The more he talked, the more angry he became, "I also heard people say that he went crazy because of the woman's love there, and he didn't know if he was cured, so the emperor asked him to lead the army. Brother Xue is right, the court is really hopeless gone."

She couldn't help sighing, "I'll do my best."

Jiang She smiled, "Thank you."

Qin Caisang hesitated and said, "Actually..."

Jiang She looked up at her, "Miss Qin has something to say, just speak up."

Qin Caisang responded, "Actually, I also want to know the answer to the question he asked."

Looking at her clear and open eyes, Jiang She unconsciously sighed, but couldn't speak when he opened his mouth.

In the middle of the capital, she only trained soldiers for three days, and managed to get everything done without any hindrance. It was not a good turnaround at all, and she might not be sure to deal with Xue Xinghu, let alone deal with Mobei, Aruna, and Li Wancheng who had never fought against each other.

Furthermore, there is not much food and grass left in Hanjiacang, so it may not be feasible to march rashly.

There is one more thing, she has to wait for the imperial edict from Beijing.

Although the general was not accepted by the king's order, she has not seen the enemy army after all, not to mention that she only has the power to dispatch troops from Henan and Qingzhou states, even if she can gather the troops from the two states, it may not be useful.

Furthermore, if Jiang Yuan is too late to defend Jicheng, then she will not be able to make it in time, rushing northward, fortune and misfortune cannot be predicted.

Seeing her hesitation, Qin Caisang immediately said, "If Brother Jiang is in trouble, don't tell me, I'm just asking casually."

Jiang She shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the transfer of such troops and horses requires Beijing's orders."

Qin Caisang sighed, "I'm confused."

Jiang She only smiled lightly, and tidied up the paperwork on the case, and his words were indifferent, as if he meant to see off the guests.

Qin Caisang didn't move, "Brother Jiang, it's getting late, don't you want to rest?"

Jiang She was slightly surprised, then smiled, "Yes, I'll go to sleep after reading this article, after a day of exhaustion, Miss Qin should go back and rest earlier."

Qin Caisang nodded, but still didn't move. Instead, she looked at her and frowned gradually, "Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, have you survived all these days?"

Jiang She raised his head, "It's not really..." He met her gaze, and finally said the truth, "There are a lot of things these days, and I really go to bed late."

"Although it's for business, it's not good for you to always be like this..." Qin Caisang couldn't help sighing, looking at her now, she felt that she was preoccupied and worried, and would eventually strain her skin, but she I don't know how to explain it, I feel too light to say anything, after thinking about it, I finally sighed again unconsciously.

Jiang She smiled instead, "Miss Qin, don't worry, I'm used to it, it doesn't bother me much."

Qin Caisang suddenly thought of something, "Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, are you just like this these days, or are you like this every day?"

Jiang She knew it was a slip of the tongue, but it was hard to hide it from her, "It's been a while."

Qin Caisang wanted to get to the bottom of it, "When did it start?"

Jiang She had no choice but to say: "It's not long, it must be less than half a year, it's really not a big problem, it's just that I fell asleep later, and I earned more hours than others."

Qin Caisang was still unwilling to give up, "Did you fall asleep late, or couldn't fall asleep at all?"

Jiang She was silent for a moment unconsciously, Qin Caisang immediately understood, and her face darkened. If someone else was in front of her, she would have opened her mouth to blame, but Jiang She's quiet eyes could not express those satisfactions. The angry words said, "Brother Jiang, it's not a trivial matter that you can't sleep at night. Even if you are fine now, you will inevitably hurt your body in the long run. At that time, you will regret it. No matter what, you must call the military doctor tomorrow."

Jiang She smiled wryly to himself, and said perfunctorily, "I'll save it."

Qin Caisang looked at her expression and felt that she didn't take it seriously at all, "Brother Jiang, if you are afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, or if you have any other unspeakable secrets, I will bring Ajue here. Although he is young, his medical skills are not bad. It's brilliant."

Jiang She hurriedly said: "No need, it's just a minor illness, I'll call a military doctor tomorrow, I'm so tired, I'm worried."

Qin Caisang looked at her for a while, but didn't know what to think, and didn't insist anymore, "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, brother Jiang won't look at her anymore, rest early."

Jiang She nodded in response, watched her walk away, and unconsciously sighed slightly, feeling a little warm in his heart, then picked up the document, thought about it, finally put it aside, got up to wash, and then rested.
