"Nan Zheng Shou captured the envoy, and Pang Xun, the Zhonglang general of the left guard, led the athletes from Liang, Yang, Ji, and Bi states on the west side of the mountain (south) to pay homage to Jianxian." Pang Xun, who was wearing a mountain-style armor, looked serious. He led the crowd to pay homage and said:
"Pang Shouzuo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Jiang Tian also greeted him loudly: "It looks like you are looking quite good!" Since he was ordered to go south, Jiang Tian also had an extra branch to patrol Jiangling Mansion and the five states to seek arrests. temporary title.
"I don't dare to be... a prisoner." Pang Xun, who was described as thin and with a dark face, quickly and respectfully clasped his hands and saluted in public: "Pang, why don't you thank Shangguan for saving your life?"
After all, he was accidentally shot at a night banquet at Hanwangtai and almost died; it is said that it was this gentleman who showed off his power on the spot and jumped onto the balcony to capture the murderer who was absconding in the dark.
Later, his injuries were too severe and he was diagnosed by the best local medical officer as having blood piercing the chest. Even if he barely survived afterwards, he would inevitably be left with a life-long injury of coughing up blood, making it difficult for him to continue serving in the army.
Therefore, even the old officer who had always valued him was a little disappointed; let alone the young Yin of Xingyuan Mansion who had secretly won over him, he no longer kept silent about his previous promises and conditions.
However, it was Jiang Jianxian who provided him with an unexpected solution before leaving. Therefore, not only did he finally recover from dying, he did not even suffer from the problem of coughing up blood.
You know, he had seen with his own eyes that his chest was opened and half of the damaged lungs were cut off; but now everything is healed as before. He was also able to continue his career and career in the military.
What's more, he also discovered that his body had also undergone many subtle changes; for example, he could see farther and hear more clearly at night; he could draw a three-stone bow and shoot ten rounds in a row without losing breath.
Therefore, Pang Xun became prosperous in his official career in a short period of time. Since the Ningwu Town General of the sixth rank was transferred to the Nanzheng Shou Commander of the sixth rank, he would certainly not forget this opportunity, which was brought about by him.
I just saw this legendary Shangguan again; I felt that although the other person had not changed much, the casual look in his eyes made him look more majestic and profound.
"It's just a small thing that happens casually." Jiang Tian nodded, and then asked: "Compared to Pang Shouzhuo, who has also read the imperial court's documents, what do you think of the current situation in Jiangling?"
"Now that the imperial court has appointed you as an envoy to patrol the five states of Jiangling to seek arrests." Pang Xun continued to hold his hands respectfully and said: "As a low-ranking official, you should be responsible for supervising the constitution. I only wish to follow him and follow my orders."
"Then Lao Pang Shou will catch him." Jiang Tian nodded again: At least with such an open attitude from the other party, many things will be easier to handle. After all, he has no interest in managing the daily affairs related to the army, but only needs to control the main points and keys.
Although he spent many years in another time and space, he not only built hundreds of thousands of Free Army soldiers from scratch, but also established a new regime that ruled over tens of millions of people; therefore, just under his direct command The first legion reached more than 30,000 soldiers.
But in this time and space where the central government of the Tang Dynasty was relatively stable, Jiang Tian had no need to compete for the limelight. With the arrival of Pang Xun's Shanxi troops and the supplement of soldiers and supplies provided by Xiangyang Prefecture, Jiang Dan's number has reached 15,000.
On the next journey, Jiang Tian re-handed over and distributed the command of his men. Except for the fifth battalion of laymen affiliated to the Xijing branch and the armored soldiers of the first battalion of the left leading army guard, which are directly under the mobile team, the other troops are all under the unified control of Pang Xun.
Just like in the previous battle of Xingyuan Mansion, the two sides initially formed a certain tacit understanding and cooperation. Pang Xun is only responsible for the advancement of the front line and the offensive and defensive operations of large forces; while Jiang Tian is responsible for controlling a small number of elite mobile reserves to act as a surprise force that determines victory or defeat at critical moments.
Then, Jiang Tian invited Pang Xun to an exclusive carriage and exchanged the information channels he had; and again consulted him on his many years of experience and lessons in the army, and from a personal perspective, he had a personal perspective on various events in the current Yunmeng Thieves Rebellion. and chaotic views and judgments:
"I believe that there is something fishy in the several defeats of the army." This time, Pang Xun pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "Perhaps, the information about the rebel army is too convenient. Even if you are in dense water, you can quickly grasp the movements of the officers and soldiers?"
"That's right, that's the problem. It's like someone leaked the news internally in time." Jiang Tianshen tapped the table eucalyptus with the same feeling: "Therefore, what we are facing is not only those people who are running rampant in the swamps and reeds. Alien, maybe there is a deep hidden insider."
"In this case, I believe that after our headquarters arrives at Jiangling Mansion, we should not rush to use troops for a while." Pang Xun was encouraged, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "Instead, we need to integrate the remaining efforts of the surrounding states to rebuild the attack on Yunmeng Daze. Peripheral blockade and containment lines.”
"Then use this to cut off any possible secret connections and interest exchanges between the local government and the rebels; then ask the Supervisor to come forward to investigate and purge the local garrison departments, and select those who are still capable of fighting; to avoid being affected by the original ones. The influence of corrupt and degenerate people.”
"In this way, we can at least stabilize the current situation and prevent it from continuing to deteriorate. The lower official believes that since the monsters and monsters in the report rely on the waterways and reeds of Yunmeng Daze, they can move around easily and are difficult to guard against. Can that change its location?"
"For example, in the name of the government, local civil servants are recruited and recruited, certain waterways are filled and blocked on a large scale, and the surrounding reeds are dug and burned; with the momentum of gradual encroachment, the scope of activities that these monsters can move is reduced, and even Forced out of hiding?"
"Of course, this also requires a sufficient number of official and military guards, and it will take a year and a half to be effective." At this point, Pang Xun slightly laughed at himself: "It's just that the nobles in the court Will people give the Constitution Supervisor such time and patience?"
"No, no, what you said makes sense. At least I will try my best to buy you time." Hearing this, Jiang Tian gently shook his head meaningfully: "What's more, we don't have to wait until it really takes effect, as long as It would be nice to make such a sound of pressing forward step by step.”
"In other words, if some people in the local area who are watching see and believe that we are capable of doing this, their attitudes will naturally diverge and change. Either they take the initiative to assist us, or they follow our orders, and people will naturally panic. Calm down.”
"Presumably, those local beings who are really related to the Yunmeng Thieves cannot sit idly by. But as long as this generation is willing to jump out, the biggest problems and dilemmas will naturally be solved. As for those strange people in the water, in a short time It has not yet threatened the city’s ability.”
"Therefore, before we actually enter the army, I need to continue to send people to explore and collect more information about the situation inside Yunmeng Daze; even when the time is right, you can organize a sheep attack to attack the east and the west, and cooperate with a few elite teams to go deep inside. armed reconnaissance."
Then, the two discussed some details in front of the local map; then they heard the Xunqi rushing from outside, panting and reporting: "Report for capture, guard the capture, and arrive at the outpost below Jiangling City first. It was discovered that there seemed to be a commotion in the city and some people escaped..."
