Chapter 383 Kuozhou Fenghuo 1

The name of Guozhou began in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It originally led the three counties of Guang'an, Yongding and Jian'an. It was abolished in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and changed its name to Beixianzhou. It ruled Yuanping County. In the sixth year of Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty, it moved to Hualong (now west of Qinghai Hualong). It has jurisdiction over the three counties of Shicheng, Michuan and Hualong, among which Michuan County is isolated from the south bank of the Yellow River; Shicheng is hidden in Qilian Mountain. The city is small and dangerous, and there are few people living there. Only the governance is a big city, which is adjacent to Huangshui. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been military fields here. Agriculture and animal husbandry are developed. It is the richest place in the four prefectures of Qinghai. All ethnic groups in the city live in the city, especially the Dangxiang ethnic group. Han people are second, Turkic and Huihu again. The folk customs are extremely fierce, because they are located on the front line. Therefore, there are four thousand elite soldiers stationed, and there are more than 3,000 militias guarding together. Among the states in Hexi, the number of troops is only slightly less than that of Shanzhou on the front line. Wang Geng, the assassin is from Qingzhou, Shandong Province, and he was born as a scholar in the sixth year of Yonghui.

Looking up Wang Geng's resume, it can be seen that his experience is almost the same as that of Lin Mingdu, the current servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies. He has been a scholar in the sixth year of Yonghui. In the past ten years, he has always been transferred to the land of Hexi. From the county lieutenant, he has been promoted to the position of assassin all the way. But since Da Xianqing was transferred to the governor of the governor of Guozhou in four years, He has never moved his nest again. His subordinates Sima, the county magistrate, etc. have changed two. He is still there. If he changes people, I'm afraid he will be full of resentment long ago, but Wang Geng is willing to work hard and complain about a tough place, but he always does everything by himself. Don't pass the blame on others. Even when such enemy soldiers are pressing on the border, Wang Geng is also not careless at all. Well, noon has passed, and Wang Geng is still busy in the hall.

"Report, Lord Wang, there is a horse outside the city who claims to be a messenger from Hezhou. He said that he had something important to ask for the adults. The little ones did not dare to make the decision, and they have hung it into the city. Now it has been brought to the hall. Please make it clear!"

While Wang Geng was examining a bull case, he saw a sergeant rushing up from the hall and reported breathlessly.

"Oh? There is such a thing. Come on, bring it up!"

As a heavy official on the front line, it is impossible for Wang Geng not to care about the changes in the war situation. Hearing that an envoy from Hezhou came, he did not dare to neglect it. Regardless of the middle of the case, he waved his hand and hurriedly ordered.

"At the end, Zheng Chenghua, the general of the sandbar guarding the cavalry camp, joins the army, Zheng Chenghua, see the assassin Lord!"

Since Wang Geng had opened his mouth, a group of yamen did not dare to neglect it. They sent out all the two cases under trial, and invited the messengers from Hezhou to come in. However, he saw that the man was dressed in armor, burly and strong, his cheeks were messy, and his face was full of dust. As soon as he saw Wang Geng sitting high in the lobby. , immediately walked forward, with one knee on one knee, salute the way.

"Zheng has worked hard to join the army. Since you belong to the army of Anxi, why did you come to the land of Hezhou?"

Due to the lag in communication, Wang Geng still did not know that Li He's troops had arrived in Hezhou. Hearing this person claimed to be Anxi Shazhou guarding the cavalry camp, he was stunned and asked doubtfully.

"My lord, my Li He and General Li, led their troops thousands of miles to attack Hezhou under the secret order of His Highness. They have defeated the Tubo thieves for a while yesterday, but the war is fierce, and the casualties of our army are also heavy. Today, the thieves have increased their troops again. Our troops are unfavorable. Hezhou is in danger. At the end, they are ordered by General Li to break through the siege and ask for help. The present is urgent. The document is here, please have a look!" As Zheng Chenghua spoke, he took out a secret letter covered with fire paint from his arms, held it in his hands and raised it high above his head.

"Oh? There is such a thing. Come on, hand it over!"

Wang Gengjiu was at the border gate and knew the importance of Hezhou. Once Hezhou was lost, the other three prefectures in Qinghai were completely isolated and helpless. It was difficult for his own army to help. Hearing Zheng Chenghua's statement, he was immediately shocked and eagerly shouted that his subordinates would turn the letter up, and his hands trembled slightly. He picked up a paper cutter on the copy, carefully opened the fire paint, and took out a letter from the inside. At a glance, he couldn't help frowning. He was speechless for a long time, and his face changed uncertainly.

"Your Excellency, the city of Fanghan has been attacked by the enemy for five days, and the city defenses are broken. Our department is no longer able to support it. Please send troops quickly to save my Hezhou!"

Seeing that Wang Geng didn't say a word for a long time, Zheng Chenghua was obviously anxious. His eyes turned red, but he kowtowed vigorously and choked.

"General Zheng, don't worry. I won't sit back and watch the fall of Hezhou. It's just that this matter is not small, and I will discuss it with the generals. General Zheng, please go down and have a rest first." Sending troops was a big deal, and Wang Geng did not dare to go at will. Seeing that Zheng Chenghua was anxious, he quickly comforted him.

"Your Excellency, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire. Hezhou is critical. There is no room for delay, my lord!"

As soon as Zheng Chenghua heard that Wang Geng's words had a perfunctory meaning, his face suddenly collapsed and suddenly kowtowed a few heads. He broke his forehead, but he didn't wipe it up, so he begged with blood on his face.

"This..." Seeing Zheng Chenghua's appearance, Wang Geng was at a loss for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he raised his hand and said, "General Zheng, don't worry, I have my own opinion. Come on, go and invite General Black Tooth to discuss the matter!"

"No!"

Since Wang Geng had issued an order, his own trusted yamen went away with a loud promise. For a few o'clock, he led a tall general from the hall. This man was the Guzhou garrison and the left leader of the general Black Tooth Changzhi - Black Tooth Changzhi was born in Baekje. He was more than seven feet tall, extremely brave, and good at using soldiers. He was originally a Baekje. The general, who was later demoted to the Tang Dynasty, first served as the governor of Yangzhou, and then was involved in trivial matters. He was transferred to the Sima of Guzhou. Li Xian cherished his talent and recommended him as the garrison of Kuzhou. He has been in office for more than two years.

"See the assassin Lord!"

Black-toothed Changzhi was originally sitting in the military camp. When he heard that an envoy from Hezhou had arrived, he did not dare to neglect it. After the general's affairs were handed over to the deputy general, he was accompanied by the government servant who came to deliver the letter. He rushed all the way to the assassin's mansion before he went to the lobby. As soon as he saw Wang Geng sitting high in the hall with a sad face, he couldn't help but It was Yilin, but he didn't dare to be rude, so he walked forward and saluted loudly.

"General Black Tooth came just in time. The emergency document of Hezhou has arrived. This is Zheng Chenghua, the messenger, who is guarding Cao and riding in the camp."

Wang Geng was uneasy and didn't notice the arrival of the black-toothed Changzhi. It was not until the black-toothed salute that he woke up from the wandering state and waved his hand to the black-tooth Changzhi's exemption, and then introduced Zheng Chenghua's identity.

"See General Zheng Chenghua at the end!"

Zheng Chenghua was obviously a clever man. When he saw the black tooth Changzhi's eyes turned over, he immediately bowed and made a standard military salute.

"General Zheng doesn't have to be polite. What's the current situation in Hezhou?"

The black tooth often glanced at Zheng Chenghua, and his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had some understanding, but he didn't say much. He just politely returned a military gift and asked indifferently.

"In the words of the general, Hezhou is now in danger, and I have received a secret order from Your Highness..."

Being swept away by the eyes of the black teeth, Zheng Chenghua panicked for no reason, but he did not dare to bring it to his face. He could only bow down and repeat what he had said to Wang Geng before. Finally, he nodded on one knee and pleaded again: "General Black Toothed General, there is no room for loss in Hezhou. I beg the general immediately. Help me to save the crisis of Hezhou!"

"General Zheng, please get up. Hezhou wants to save himself, but I have some questions to figure out first." Obviously, he was not moved by Zheng Chenghua's sadness. He raised his eyebrows and replied indifferently.

"General, please ask me, if the general knows, I will not dare to hide it!"

Hearing that the black teeth often had the intention of sending troops, Zheng Chenghua's face immediately showed an excited look. He suddenly got up and replied excitedly.

General Zheng said that the number of troops was increased, but he didn't know how the number of troops was increased? Who is the leader? How many steps and rides are there? Hei Tooth Changzhi nodded quietly and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"In the words of the general, the last general rushed out of the city in the dark last night. He only knew that the enemy's army reached before dusk. Look at the flag. The leader was the third brother of gar Zanpo of the gar Qinling. As for the size of the enemy, the last general did not fully know it. He just looked at the appearance, no less than 20,000 people. After discussing with General Zhang, he identified the thief. It was unstoppable, which made the last general break out and ask for help. I hope General Black Tooth can save me from Hezhou!"

Zheng Chenghua came prepared. He answered the question without dripping water. A sentence of "can't see clearly" can block the possibility of black teeth asking in detail.

"So that's it. That's good. I will send troops to break the thief army, but it still needs some hands to be mobilized. General Zheng will go down to rest first. When the troops are sent, I will ask General Zheng to be the leader." Hei Tooth Changzhi did not ask any more questions, but waved his hand and gave an extremely positive answer boldly.

"Thank you, General's grace, Hezhou is saved!"

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Chenghua cried with joy and did not talk any more nonsense. He bowed respectfully and saluted. Accompanied by the servants standing aside, he went straight down to the hall.

"General Black Tooth, can this soldier really be sent?"

Previously, Zheng Chenghua was present. Although Wang Geng had all kinds of questions in his heart, it was not easy to ask questions clearly. After he was gone, Wang Geng couldn't help frowning slightly and asked hesitantly.

"Prince Wang, you are really not good at it. You have made a decision on this matter, but you want someone to say clearly. Are you going to test me once?" Black-toothed Changzhi glanced at Wang Geng with discontent and asked with a laugh.

"Oh? Hahaha..."

When the black-toothed general solved the mystery, Wang Geng no longer pretended to be distressed. He raised his eyebrows and then laughed. He smiled so hard that tears came out, which made a group of yamen and clerks standing beside him dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what the two giants in this state were playing some tricks...
