Han You and others dismounted, and only after Jiang Zhui brought the torch closer did everyone see Cao Liyi's lineup clearly.
Thirty-five or six, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, ordinary facial features, but an extremely resolute face.
Military generals are generally promoted faster than civil servants. Many who have participated in wars can accumulate military merits. Unlike civil servants, who can be promoted to one and a half levels at most regardless of their merits. It is impossible to be promoted to several levels just because of a big merit.
In fact, officials in ancient times also looked at their appearance. Those who looked like Hulk had to be civil servants, which was very awkward. Those who looked like two and a half years had to be military generals, which was even more awkward.
Cao Liyi has a typical military commander appearance, or rather military commander figure. Not to mention handsome, his body must be stronger than ordinary people, and he looks pleasing to the eye. He looks a bit like Crayon Shin-chan after successfully losing weight.
As soon as he heard that Han You was a school lieutenant, Cao Liyi stood up on his own, and he was not even older than his own official.
Just when Han You was about to ask how far away Zhechong Mansion was, Cao Liyi couldn't wait to ask: "Dare I ask the surname of this captain? But brothers from the Jingying camp, what kind of warrants did they bring, the warrants from the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Works?" Warrant?"
"There are no warrants in the palace, only tiger charms."
"Tiger Talisman?!"
Cao Liyi's expression moved slightly. The warrant was a one-time use and specified what was to be done, where the troops were to be mobilized, and where assistance was needed. Once the work was done, it would become invalid after use.
The Tiger Talisman is different. Depending on the style, the battalion will be different, and it can be used for anything. Of course, if you want to rebel, it will definitely not work, nor will it work to assassinate the emperor.
In short, the tiger talisman has a wider range of application and is more flexible than the warrant. If the tiger talisman is obtained from the palace, it can at least mobilize one Zhechong mansion. However, normally, those who can receive the tiger talisman from the palace must be above the fifth grade. General.
Looking at Han You's overly young face, a hint of caution flashed across Cao Liyi's face: "Where is the Tiger Talisman."
Han You took out the tiger charm from his arms. Cao Liyi immediately took three steps back and unsheathed his sword with a clang.
"Who are you?"
The tiger charm is a bit unorthodox because it is shaped like a unicorn.
Moreover, this Qilin Mansion is not very serious, and I don’t know which grandson of the Ministry of Industry made it, and it looks like an anal fistula.
The anal fistula is also in the shape of a unicorn. This unicorn talisman can mobilize the troops of a state. The troops of any state can be mobilized. However, there is only one state, so the one who is destined to die can be mobilized.
That's all. In addition to mobilizing troops, the magistrates of the state and other civil servants must also obey the mobilization.
To put it more simply, this kind of anus...this kind of Qilin government can directly take over the military and political power of a state government.
Those who can use this kind of Qilin Mansion must either be a nobleman from Tianhuang, or at least be at the level of Minister of War.
As soon as Cao Liyi drew his sword, he was immediately surrounded. More than a dozen veterans of the Southern Army drew their bows and strings.
Jiang Zhui knew why the other party reacted like this, so he threw the Yidaowei commander's waistband over.
Cao Liyi didn't dare to answer, fearing that he would be distracted if he stretched out his hand and be shot to death again.
He quickly looked down, looked shocked, and blurted out: "The former Chao Yu... turned out to be the emperor's personal army?!"
Cao Liyi quickly put the sword back into the scabbard and performed the military salute again. He was secretly speechless. It turned out to be these idiots. No wonder he was able to invite the Qilin Tiger Talisman.
"I'm humble, but I don't know Mount Tai. I didn't know that the captain of the Yidao Guards was coming. I hope you can forgive me."
A general is different from a general, and a captain is different from a captain.
For example, they are both teachers. Kindergarten teachers and Qing... No, bah, bah, bah, can a kindergarten teacher be the same as a serious university teacher? There is a huge difference between the two.
A general of the Zhechong Prefecture is still different from a lieutenant of the emperor's own army.
With their bows on their backs and their swords in their scabbards, the veterans of the Southern Army lowered their guard but still surrounded Cao Liyi.
Han You asked in confusion: "Why are you waiting on the official road for a dignified captain of the Zichong Prefecture?"
"After the accident, I waited until now."
"Why did you wait so long?"
Cao Liyi smiled bitterly: "No wait, the general doesn't know what to do anymore."
"Okay." Han You nodded and got back on the horse: "Take me to Zhechong Mansion. After returning, immediately send people to Xuncheng to find the county government, gather young and strong people, bring tools and dry food, and rush to Danshan Mountain after dawn Position, send another person to two places to garrison soldiers. If no one is left, they will be transferred there. One person will also go to the Bingbei Mansion. Six hundred soldiers will be left, and two hundred will be left. The remaining four hundred will be stationed in two places to garrison soldiers and guards. "
An inexplicable look flashed across Cao Liyi's eyes, as if he had something to say. After hesitating for a few seconds, he responded: "Yes."
In this way, everyone began to follow Cao Liyi down the official road and walked on the small road.
It is said to be a small road, but it is not as smooth and wide as the official road. The more people walk on the road, the more people come, and the more people come, the easier it is to pass.
Everyone walked along the path, not daring to go too fast. This path was very dangerous, and the grass was covered with white frost. Once the horses ran away, they could easily be injured.
Zhechong Mansion was built at the foot of the mountain. It was just a short mountain. Even if the mountain collapsed, there would be enough time to run away. Otherwise, it would have to be built in the wilderness, which would be too exposed.
This kind of subordinates are all stationed in the wild, and they are all military tents. Forty or fifty tents are connected together and brightly lit.
Han You frowned and asked, "Does your Zhechong Mansion light so many torches and lanterns at night?"
"Changyuan County was hit by the disaster, and the people were trapped without knowing whether they were alive or dead. Brothers dared not sleep and could not sleep."
With this sentence, Cao Liyi won the favor of almost everyone.
In fact, many military personnel are like this. They don't understand any long-term, rational, and other orders such as taking a good rest, and having enough energy to attack.
For them, the people not far away were affected by the disaster, and no one could sleep peacefully. They were all waiting anxiously, wasting their minds and energy, waiting for the military order. No matter how tired they were, once the military order came They will leave the military camp as soon as possible and go to where they are needed.
Before they even reached the place, which was still fifty or sixty feet away, several cavalrymen were already galloping towards them, shouting.
"Boss Cao, have you received a letter? Have you received a letter..."
Cao Liyi clamped his horse's belly and went up to him: "Tell the brothers, take off your armor and sword, and only carry dry food and water. Put away all mountain utensils from the carriage. After packing, go back to the tent to rest, and set off again after dawn."
Han You did not follow him, but looked sideways at Lu Baichuan: "Have you ever heard of this guy? Can you trust him?"
"In the middle of Beijing, it reaches Bianguan in the north, Heyuan in the west, Weijiang in the south, and Liuchong in the east. The captain of Zhechong Prefecture can be trusted within two years."
Feng Bai next to him changed his expression slightly and remained silent.
Within two years means that the Ministry of War reviews and mobilizes generals in various regions every three years. There will be no large-scale transfers. It is normal for many generals to work in the same Zhechong government for more than ten or twenty years. .
From Zhou Ke's ascension to the next two years, the people Lu Baichuan mentioned, with Beijing as the center, were all people whom Lao Ba could trust.
There was something wrong with Feng Bai's expression. Xidi Heyuan was considered a dividing line. From Heyuan to the west, it was almost the territory of the Feng family. And Lu Baichuan, as the emperor's personal soldier of the Yi Dao Guard, said something like this, either Either he or the emperor was worried or dissatisfied with the fact that Prince Yan's family was invisibly in charge of the west of the river garden.
