Northern Dynasties

Chapter 61
Liyang is located on the north bank of the Weishui River, in the heart of the Guanzhong Plain, and was once the capital of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

However, with the passage of time and historical turmoil, the old city of Liyang no longer exists, and even the name "Liyang" itself has disappeared from the administrative division of the Western Wei Dynasty.Only one Liyang garrison remained on Jingyuan in the northern border of Liyang's hometown, but now it has been upgraded to Liyang Fang.

Jingyuan is a narrow and long hill in the north of Weibei, stretching for nearly a hundred miles from east to west, with Jushui in the north and Weishui in the south.

Since September, the armies and township regiments of various states have successively moved from their garrisons and rushed to Jingyuan.

It was mid-September when Li Tai set off from Shangyuan, and it was already late September when he arrived in Jingyuan, and there were not a few days left before the grand parade officially started.

At this time, flags were flying on the high slope of Jingyuan, and the troops from the various states in Kansai set up camps in each place. There was a lot of noise and excitement.Riding freely between camps and camps, it is almost impossible to move without a passable seal and warrant.

Although Li Tai and his group of twenty people were inconspicuous, they had to stop for interrogation every time they traveled a certain distance on the plateau.It took more than half a day to walk on the plateau, and it was still nearly twenty miles away from Liyangfang where Gao Zhongmi was.

"Are these soldiers deliberately making things difficult and provocative? One step at a time, three checks, can we assassinate Daxingtai?"

After passing through a sentry post and being interrogated, Li Yantou, who was accompanying him, couldn't help complaining.

"The new armies are newly built, and the orders are not clear, so it is only natural to be vigilant."

After Li Tai heard the words, he said with a smile, he had seen the formation of troops several times, and his eyesight had gradually developed, and he could probably tell at a glance whether those camps were new soldiers or old soldiers.

Just now, there are three to five hundred or a thousand people in the various camps, but only two or three out of ten can deeply cooperate with the defense law.Most of the camps have a lot of problems, either the layout or the location.Obviously, these are the Guanzhong Township Regiments that were hastily assembled after the Mangshan Battle this year.

Although the tyrannical private song and the village regiment armed forces have existed for a long time, most of them are of the nature of protecting the countryside. The experience of long-distance marching and camping is not much, and some omissions are inevitable.

This is also one of the reasons why Daxingtai held a grand parade. Since the end of the Battle of Mangshan in the ninth year of Datong, the court of the Western Wei Dynasty has held a grand parade almost every year.

It took several years to finally build these armed forces scattered in various parts of Guanlong into a powerful army that will be famous all over the world in the future.

As for now, it is only a rough number in terms of numbers.Li Tai alone traveled all the way, and he saw tens of thousands of troops stationed on Jingyuan.

When it comes to the specific military appearance, Li Tai is too lazy to complain about the Western Wei army in this period.

He himself is considered to have personally participated in the construction of the government soldiers. Even the basic military rations need to be raised by their own generals. As for other armored staff uniforms, there is no unified ration.

The only thing that Daxingtai distributes collectively is a piece of black cloth two feet long, cut from the middle, and let the soldiers sew the shoulders on the pleats of their military uniforms, which is regarded as a unified uniform.The captains were issued black patent leather and tied it on the chest and back with a rope, which looked a little funny and a little shabby.

The reason why Li Tai and his party were interrogated along the way was because they did not have the unified logo of the Western Wei army uniforms, but ordinary hakama pleats, which looked different at first glance.

On the road again, passing through two valleys, there was another interrogation by the camp ahead. Before Li Yantou had time to complain, he immediately laughed when he saw the commander leading the team: "Sanzhu, so you are stationed here?"

Liu Sanzhao was also quite pleasantly surprised to see the Lord and his party, and hastily stepped forward to invite Li Tai into the pergola built outside the camp, and sent someone into the camp to summon him.

Without hesitation, Li Quji went out with several governors. First, he greeted him, and then Li Quji said with a smile: "My department arrived in Jingyuan a few days ago. Today, the morale is good. I was put on guard by the governor of Huazhou Yuwen. General Zhou is recruiting into the camp to discuss matters related to the parade, so he has no time to come see Alang."

The so-called Metropolitan Governor of Yuwen was Dao Yuwen, who was the governor of Huazhou at that time, and Hou Mo and Chen Chong, who was the governor of Yongzhou at the time, shared the work of calling the army and presiding over the grand parade.

Li Tai was also very happy to hear that their Wuxiang county group was appreciated by director Yuwen. He drank some buttermilk from the camp in the shed to quench his thirst, and continued on the road.

Li Quji found some military uniforms with two black patches for them to change into, and arranged for a team of battalion escorts. This time, the journey went much smoother, with almost no interrogation, and finally arrived in the evening. Outside Liyang Fangcheng.

There are more camps stationed near this military city, and it can be seen at a glance that they are all elite sergeants.

While waiting for others to enter the city to communicate, Li Tai stood outside the camps and carefully identified the banners of many generals of Beizhen.

He Basheng and several Hui were all on the list, including Zhao Gui, an old and out-of-the-way trilogy camp. It was located in the northeast corner outside Fangcheng, and next to it was the camp of Tang Taizu Li Hu.

However, the ceremonial guards of Sui Taizu Yang Zhong's trilogy were missing, perhaps he was not qualified to be stationed here, because Yang Zhong had not yet obtained the qualifications to open a mansion, and was one level lower than the other Kai mansions.

Daxingtai Yuwentai and Western Wei Prince Yuanqin have also come to Liyang Fang now, so the supervision of entering and leaving Fangcheng is extremely strict.There are heavily armored soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Western Wei Dynasty in charge of guarding the road, and no idlers are allowed to ride around like this.

When Li Tai saw the battles around Fangcheng, he couldn't help but suddenly wondered, if he could bring a Wuzhi across and make a sudden stop here, what would the future of history be like?
They waited outside the city for more than half an hour, until it was dark, and only a group of people went out from the defense city. The leader was a tall young man who stood inside the defense and shouted: "Mr. I joined the army, Li Boshan, are you here?"

Many officials and soldiers waiting for the announcement to enter the city have already gathered in Zuojin. The long wait will inevitably make people anxious and the scene is a bit chaotic.

It wasn't until the other side shouted a second time that Li Tai in the crowd heard his name, he hastily lined up the crowd around him, stepped forward, crossed his hands and said, "Li Boshan, a member of the Taiwei Duke's Mansion, is here."

A sergeant of the Imperial Guard inspected his confession letter before entering, and then led him into the forbidden line.

The young man who had shouted before also stepped forward, looked him up and down, then clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Li Lang is indeed a good-looking talent, no wonder the Taiwei Gong just told me to go out without careful visits, I know it by looking at him. "

You obviously yelled several times, but I took the initiative to step up!

Li Tai complained in his heart, but the compliment made people happy, so he also bowed and said: "I'm not talented and clumsy, let the lord laugh at me, dare to ask the lord what's his name?"

"A certain name is Nianhua, and he is the chief history of the Taiwei Duke's mansion. Li Lang can just call it directly."

The young man was also very polite, and replied with a smile after hearing the words.

Hearing this introduction, Li Tai couldn't help but look at the other party twice. Although Gao Zhongmi, the Taiwei Gong, is a parallel importer, his family rank is real.

Previously, Holland had been the history of Duke Situ's mansion for several months, and he was released as a county guard.For example, Li Tai joined the army in the office of the Taiwei Mansion, which is also a serious sixth-rank official position. If he is willing to give up Gao Zhongmi's status as a confidant, and hand over the organizational relationship to the Western Wei court, he can also serve as a county magistrate.

This young man looks to be in his twenties. He looks like a Di and Qiang hybrid. Apart from his kind smile, he is not as rough and bold as ordinary Hu people, and there is nothing special about him. History, it can be seen that identity is definitely not simple.

Thinking of the other party's own name, it is not a common surname to read the surname. After thinking about it for a while, he cupped his hands and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhaoding..."

"It's the master of the family."

The young man replied with a smile, and Li Tai knew his identity because of this. It turned out that this seemingly inconspicuous little miscellaneous Hu was actually the son of Nian Xian.

Zhaoding is Nianxian's posthumous title, which naturally does not belong to Li Tai's original knowledge category, he can barely remember the posthumous title of his own ancestor.It's just that not long ago I happened to hear He Basheng sighing, saying that if Nianxian hadn't lost his prestige in the Battle of Heqiao a few years ago, the mourning would have been even greater.

Nianxian is not very famous in later generations, but he has one important status, that is, the famous Beizhen military leaders in the Western Wei Dynasty, one counts as one, and in his eyes they are all sons.

Among the Beizhen army leaders who entered the customs, Nianxian was the highest seniority, the so-called princes were all fathers, and they worshiped and respected them from Taizu Yuwentai down.

Now in Beizhen, Taifu Wangmeng and Taishi He Basheng, whose positions are considered detached, Nianxian had taken turns to take these two positions as early as the early years of Datong.And before Dugu Xin ruled Longyou, Nian Xian was the leader of Longyou.

Nianxian died in the sixth year of Datong. According to the ancient mourning system, his son should have just served the imperial court this year, and then he was appointed as the head of Taiwei's mansion. It shows that there are people in the court who are willing to be officials.Regardless of the size of the power for the time being, at least the official position has been promoted, and it will be much smoother to appoint other official positions.

Seeing the kindly smiling Nian Hua in front of him, Li Tai suddenly felt that his background in the Li family in Longxi was no longer good. Why don't his grandfather and father go to Beizhen to mix up his seniority so that he can also be honored? These guys in Beizhen all call their grandsons: What are you doing, Lu, call me grandpa!
"There is a chief labor officer to welcome you, but there are still entourage members who are isolated."

Putting away his little thoughts, Li Tai pointed to Li Yantou and the others outside the cordon and said.

After hearing the words, Nian Hua said: "The layout of Fangcheng is not large, the government buildings are limited, and there are restrictions on the entry of officials from the government. The rest can only be placed in a separate camp outside the city."

While speaking, he summoned a commander of the imperial army to give some instructions, and Li Tai also took out a token and asked him to hand it over to Li Yantou. Seeing that his followers were led to another camp outside the city, he followed Nianhua. Go to Fangcheng.
