On the road leading to Taiyuan

Pang Tong, Wei Yan and more than ten carefully selected Royal Forest Cavalry Guards galloped over.

Pang Tong asked Wei Yan next to him: "General Wei, our relationship with Bingzhou is only a nominal relationship between monarch and minister. We have not truly unified Bingzhou, is that right?"

Wei Yan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I believe in the doctor's courage even more!"

Pang Tong asked in surprise: "Courage?"

Wei Yan took a deep breath and said sternly: "Yes, to deal with those local officials, the doctor must show the courage of the court. Don't forget, you represent the king! Although he is a warlord, a warlord who has just surrendered,

But since he surrendered to our Chu army, he will naturally obey our King of Chu!"

More than ten riders galloped away, and within a few days, they galloped all the way to the gate of Taiyuan City.

At this time, the Gaogan Yamen of Taiyuan City in Bingzhou

There were many ceremonial sticks, and local officials from Bingzhou, led by senior officials, lined up to greet him in front of the Yamen.

With the drums and music playing, Pang Tong and Wei Yan came majestically on their horses, surrounded by the royal guards.

Bingzhou Mu, the chariot and cavalry general Gao Gan and the garrison Sima led the way to greet them.

Pang Tong dismounted and Wei Yan exchanged greetings with the officials.

"Bingzhou Mu Chariot General Gao Gan welcomes the Chu King's envoy!"

The military Sima next to him also greeted him: "The garrison Sima Wangcheng has met these two adults!"

Pang Tong looked a little shy, and Wei Yan gave him a hint.

Pang Tong hurriedly said with a look of adaptability: "Oh, the weather in Taiyuan is indeed slippery and hotter than that in Yecheng!" Gao Gan said with a confused smile: "That's that, the wind is different in a hundred miles, and the wind is different in a thousand miles.

Rain!"

However, what Wei Yan and Pang Tong did not expect was that the high-ranking cadre turned out to be a civil servant.

The Army Sima asked Wei Yan: "How come the general has never seen your lord's military uniforms and the clothes of the guards?"

Pang Tong took the opportunity to add: "Master Wei Yan is the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the king's guard army, and these warriors are also the king's guard army."

When Sima saw them, each of them was well-equipped, and their hand dances revealed a kingly and domineering army. He couldn't help but admired: "No wonder, no wonder, the general has seen a lot. My two lords, please..."

After the two people were welcomed into the main hall by senior officials and military commanders.

The banquet was grand and all the wine was served by local beauties.

Pang Tong stared at the beautiful woman's hands and neck, praising: "The land of Bingzhou is so slippery, look at how good the skin is..." Pang Tong's coveting gaze met Wei Yan's gaze.

The senior official smiled knowingly and said: "That's right, Bingzhou is a place that produces beauties. After our official business is finished, I will take you for a ride to see the charm of our Bingzhou women!"

Wei Yan asked the garrison Sima with concern: "Does the army Sima understand the battle situation at the border fortress? What is the current situation of Ma Chao's army?"

After Pang Tong saw the words coming to this point, he continued: "Yes, how is Ma Chao's army doing now?" Army Sima briefly introduced: "Ma Chao's 30,000 troops are currently stationed at the border fortress, and they are attacked by 200,000 Huns.

They were attacked by soldiers, but they occupied a favorable position and put up a strong resistance. However, both sides suffered heavy losses. Ma Chao's army now urgently needs to replenish troops, weapons, and horses."

Wei Yan continued to ask: "How many people are there in total in the garrison in Taiyuan? What equipment are they equipped with?"

Army Sima introduced: "Although our army is small in number, it is good at fighting in the field. Our cavalry in Bingzhou and Jizhou are equally famous. Once, General Li Mu of the Qin State led a thousand cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, although we cannot accompany him.

Your Majesty attacks Jingzhou and Jiangdong Water Station, but we are suitable for field battles and mountain and jungle operations."

Pang Tong clapped his hands and shouted: "Great, it shows that the king has chosen the right place to mobilize troops from you to assist General Ma Chao."

After the military commander heard this, he looked at the senior officer in confusion.

After Gao Gan heard this, he also put down his wine glass in deep thought.

When the high official saw this situation, he knew that he had to say something now, and said: "The two adults have come to Taiyuan City in Bingzhou to mobilize troops according to the king's order. The local government must do its best to obey the order. I made an agreement with the King of Chu at the beginning,

Unless I see the King of Chu in person, I will not mobilize any soldiers!"

Pang Tong continued to preach: "Very good. The deployment of troops is an earth-shattering event. The king was very cautious about this and wrote a personal edict in his imperial pen - please see, you two have never met the king.

Yubi, right? Do you recognize it? What an honor you two have. Look, the king wrote the names of the two of them in his own hand: Bingzhou Mu Chariot General Gao Gan, Army Sima... Oh my, the king rarely writes edicts in his own hand!"

The high official took the order, looked at it with shining eyes, and handed it to Sima.

The military commander raised his hand and said arrogantly: "I may be a bit old-fashioned. Whenever I mobilize troops, I will only accept the presence of the King of Chu in person, not what you pretend to be...!"

Pang Tong stood up and asked: "Why can't the military commander trust us?" He pointed to the imperial forest behind him, "Without the king's personal order, we can come all the way here to mobilize troops? The king has commanded all his imperial forest troops.

It has been dispatched, can’t you see how much your Majesty attaches great importance to this operation?”

The entire venue suddenly fell into a kind of fear, which was enough to make people tense.

The senior official smiled and said: "I can see it, I can see it. To be honest, this is the first time that we in this remote place have seen the elegance of the King's Imperial Guard..."

Gao Gan slowly put down his wine glass, and then said silently and directly with his beard: "But I heard that the king's Chu army is invincible in the world, and has always looked down on the stragglers like us. Why didn't the king send his own Chu army instead of asking for it?"

Let’s rely on us local warlords!”

Pang Tong pointed at the senior officials and said angrily: "How dare you! You and other local officials dare to discuss the internal affairs of the palace privately. In the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king? As a local official, you can disobey the current situation

King, please take a look, what is this..."

Pang Tong took the royal scepter from his side.

Pang Tong shouted loudly: "Mian Jie is like Mian Jun, why don't you kneel down quickly!"

Although they were newly surrendered, in such a situation, Gao Gan and Sima had no choice but to kneel face to face. Pang Tong said sternly: "Since you recognize the authority of the king, then honestly follow the imperial edict and send troops to assist Ma Chao's army!

"

The army commander immediately stood up and replied loudly: "Envoy, these are two different things. It is precisely because we are loyal to the king that we must adhere to the troop deployment system prescribed by the king. If the king himself does not come, I will never send troops.

!”

There was a "bang" sound.

Wei Yan, who had been watching silently, knocked over the utensils in front of him.

Wei Yan reprimanded loudly: "In front of the king's scepter, Lord Sima doesn't cherish his head so much. Then I'm sorry. Come on, use Sima's head to prove the authority of the king! Drag it down! Cut it off!"

Several imperial guards rushed forward.

The army commander jumped up and drew his sword at the same time, and the guards in the palace also drew their swords one after another.

Wei Yan sneered and said: "It seems that there are some brave men in the small Taiyuan City. If you want to test your sword skills with the king's guards, let's give it a try!"

Suddenly, the whole hall saw the sound of swords and swords striking, and the sound of weapons resounded everywhere. Wei Yan just stood there drinking. After only three or five rounds, the guards in the court and Sima himself were subdued by Yu Lin's sword skills.

The senior officer also turned pale, but he also eagerly consoled him: "Go ahead! Put it down!"

Gaogan blocked more guards from rushing in.

Gao Gan walked up to Wei Yan and begged for mercy: "Sir..."

Wei Yan suddenly put the bowl in his hand on the table and ordered loudly: "Behead that Sima who blasphemed the authority of the king! The owl has his head cut off!"

Wei Yan just finished speaking.

A guard raised his knife and dropped it, splattering blood on the case.

Even Pang Tong was dumbfounded.

Wei Yan held the long sword in his hand and said to all the troops in the hall: "I don't even obey the orders of the supreme commander. I am a soldier. Look, high officials, are you going to hand over the army of this county, or...

…”

Seeing this bloody scene, the scholar, a senior official, fell to his knees, kowtowed, and cried loudly: "We humble ministers obey the majesty of the king and hand over military power to assist Ma Chao's army!"

Wei Yan raised the long sword in his hand and ordered: "Have your deputy Sima immediately notify all the garrison and assemble immediately. I want to speak to the soldiers in person..."

All the soldiers in the main hall were intimidated by Wei Yan's lofty ambitions and the imperial guards, and were forced to follow Wei Yan.

Accompanied by the deputy Sima, Wei Yan galloped to the military camp in Taiyuan City, Bingzhou.

At this time, the sergeants in the camp lined up neatly, looking confused, and secretly talking among themselves.

Taiyuan high officials rode horses to accompany Pang Tong, and Wei Yan came galloping over. Everyone stood in front of the team on horseback.

Wei Yan looked sharply at the senior officials.

Gao Gan cleared his throat and then said: "Now the king has personally ordered me to garrison Taiyuan and set off immediately to fully support Ma Chao's army and resist the invasion of the Huns. You must obey the command of the two imperial envoys. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."

!”

There was silence in the queue of sergeants.

Wei Yan urged his horse to take a step forward, then held the long sword in his waist and said: "I heard that Taiyuan's cavalry infantry has always been famous for its bravery and strength. I saw it today, and it is indeed extraordinary. I also heard that you

You are good at fighting in the mountains and jungles, so the king did not mobilize the elite Chu army, the main force of the imperial court. Why? Because in the eyes of the king, you are the elite Chu army fighting in the jungle! You represent the majesty of our Chu army!"

After hearing these words, the sergeants' eyes lit up.

A sergeant shouted: "Does the king really know about us?"

Wei Yan pointed at him and asked, "What's your name!"

A sergeant answered on his behalf: "His name is Qin Dahu!"

Wei Yan smiled, and then said generously: "Okay, Qin Dahu, now the king not only knows that the Taiyuan cavalry and infantry are good at fighting, but also knows that there is a soldier named Qin Dahu in the Taiyuan cavalry and infantry. As for whether you are a big tiger or not
