Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 366 Farewell
But just now when he said that he recommended Wang Wenzuo to the emperor, Wang Wenzuo was a little surprised. After all, most people who have a bad feeling for others will not think that the other party will take the initiative to favor them.Later, when Liu Rengui finished his last words, Wang Wenzuo felt even more emotional. Traditional feudal scholar-bureaucrats like Liu Rengui are like cactus.However, the assist he gave himself this time is a surprise. If he can really succeed Liu Renyuan in charge of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, then he will have room to flex his muscles. It may take five years at most, or three years at least. Create a situation.

"Ming Gong!"

"It's Changzhi, what's the matter?" Wang Wenzuo turned around. In the past few days, I don't know who started it. The subordinates called Wang Wenzuo from "Langjun", "Sima" and "Shangguan". The attitudes of "Ming Gong" and "Fujun" became a bit more respectful. This subtle change made Wang Wenzuo feel secretly refreshed. The beauty of power brought to people is really hard to describe in words.

"This is the roster of sergeants, as well as equipment and armor!" Heizhi Changzhi presented the roster with both hands, and Wang Wenzuo took it casually, and said with a smile, "Why so fast? Changzhi, you have worked hard these days!"

"This is all a matter of the subordinate's responsibility. Chan Master Dinghui and Yiji Lianbode have also contributed a lot!"

"Hmm!" Wang Wenzuo nodded. He opened the book and read a few pages before realizing something was wrong: "Why are there only short soldiers, bows and crossbows, shields, and armor so few? And pack animals?"

"Reporting to Duke Ming, the short soldiers, bows and crossbows are all prepared by the sergeants. As for the others, the Ministry of War refuses to distribute them. Let the military town distribute them after we reach Baekje!"

"The sergeant prepares his own?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned: "I remember that except for the seven things that the government soldiers carry with them, everything else is provided by the government, right?"

The seven things that Wang Wenzuo mentioned refer to: clothes, quilts, supplies, things, bows and arrows, saddles and bridles, and weapons. Whetstones, large scorpions, felt hats, felt clothes, and a pair of clothes are all one. Nine buckets of wheat and rice and two buckets of rice are all prepared by yourself. They also store their jackets and military equipment in the warehouse. Give them out. Those who serve as guards will only be given bows and arrows and horizontal knives.” According to the above, a mansion soldier’s weapons, armor, and pack animals are provided by the government except for bows, arrows, and horizontal knives. You only need to prepare nine buckets of wheat rice and two buckets of rice, and more will be provided by the government.

"The scribes of the Ministry of War said that this is indeed the case for Fubing, but these are not the people in the military register, not only those who went to Baekje, but also the others who were conscripted to Anxi, and they were all issued by the local military town!"

"These guys from the Ministry of War!" Hearing this, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but itch his teeth. Isn't this a group of unarmored infantry?Without armor, long soldiers, crossbows, and pack animals, you can't just go up with a horizontal knife and bow and arrows, right?The gentlemen of the Emotional Military Department regard these vicious youths conscripted as real cannon fodder to consume the arrows of the Tubo people!

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about this matter for now, first prepare everything you need on the road, such as rations and shoes! I'll figure out a solution for the first battle!"

"As ordered!"

Looking at the back of Hei Chi Changzhi's departure, Wang Wenzuo shook his head, he must use his upper-level connections when they should, otherwise the clerks of the Ministry of War would have ten thousand ways to kill him.

----------------------

"Sanlang, in fact, the Ministry of War did the right thing!" Jin Renwen said slowly after listening to Wang Wenzuo's statement: "According to the usual practice, it has always been like this!"

"It's always been like this? But throw me a group of unarmed soldiers, where can I find armor for them?"

"Sanlang, listen to me!" Jin Ren asked with a smile, "there are a lot of first-class battleships in the arsenal, and the corresponding ones are military government offices in various places. You are recruited temporarily, and you ask the Ministry of War to give you first-class battleships temporarily. Where did the Ministry of War find it for you?"

"That being said, can't they go into battle empty-handed?"

"With bows, arrows and horizontal knives, it's not empty-handed, right? Besides, after your people left Chang'an, they were marching in the country, and there were no enemy troops at all. Why go to battle? It's not your world when you arrive in Baekje. Why have you just finished fighting? There are not enough Jiazhan weapons collected in the treasury? It shouldn’t be difficult to match 2000 people, right?”

Hearing Jin Ren asked, "It's not your world yet", Wang Wenzuo knew that the other party had also heard the news that he would succeed Liu Renyuan, so he said in a low voice, "Brother Renshou, you have also heard about Liu Dudu? What is the emperor going to do with him?" ?”

"I guess we should transfer him back first, let him go back to his hometown for the elderly, right? He is not too young, and it might not be a good thing to be able to go back to his hometown!" Jin Renwen smiled indifferently: "You don't have to worry too much He, if you have time, think about what you should do after you go to Baekje? I know he owes you a favor, but he also has descendants. After you become a minister in the future, it will not be too late to repay his descendants !"

"I understand!"

"Just understand!" Jin Ren asked and patted Wang Wenzuo on the shoulder: "Sanlang, with your talents, your future prospects are limitless. There are many major events that you think are great now, and you will have a higher position in the future." It can be done with a little effort, so now you have to look farther and don't waste your energy on these trivial things."

"Thank you, Brother Renshou, for your teaching!"

"Okay, I'll help you go to the Ministry of War to ask about the pack animals. If you have 2000 people under your command, a thousand mules and a thousand donkeys should be enough, right?"

"It's enough, it's enough!" Wang Wenzuo was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Renshou, for your help!"

————————————————————————

"It's still cool to have someone up there!" Walking out of Jin Renwen's house, Wang Wenzuo sighed secretly. In ancient times, cavalry was not the only army that needed animals. Infantry with a slightly higher rate of armor needed animals to carry heavy armor, otherwise they would carry a full set of armor. Zhan Jiashi marched for a day and was exhausted. How could he fight in formation?The reason why Wang Wenzuo was able to start as a team leader was because his master provided him with a complete set of armored horses. Jin Renwen made the infantry averagely have a pack animal for each of them, but No small favor.

Back at the residence, Wang Wenzuo looked at the sky, and decided to go to Cao Wenzong's place while it was still dark, and talk about the next arrangement with the two princesses who were fostered at Xiaoman's place, so as to avoid any misunderstanding.

————————————————————

Pingkangli, Cao's house.

"Sister Xiaoman, which of Cao Shifan's apprentices do you think is the most skilled in martial arts?" Li Suwen asked while peeping out the window to see the people who were practicing.

"Then you don't need to ask, it must be Brother B!" Xiaoman casually replied while oiling his dagger: "This time, there are more than 20 disciples who have practiced martial arts with the teacher. Ji, in the end they were all killed by Little Brother B, and Little Brother B was not injured at all, who in the yard has this ability except the teacher?"

"Sister Xiaoman, you can't do it either? I think you are also very good? That villain who bullied us that day killed us with a knife!"

"Of course not?" Xiaoman put the oiled short knife into the sheath, pulled out the long knife and began to grind and maintain it: "That villain has fought on the street a few times at most, and he can do nothing. Just point the knife at the If he loses his position, he will bump into him and stab himself to death. The people Xiao Yi kills are at least those who have learned martial arts from the teacher for a few years. Time depends on luck, if you can kill more than 01 people without getting hurt, then Brother Yi is 30:[-] points higher than them."

"Then from Miss Xiaoman's point of view, as long as you learn martial arts, it's easy to kill that villain that day, right?"

"Yes!" Xiaoman replied without raising his head: "As long as you have practiced to the level of unity of mind, hand, step and eye, even if you only have a short knife in your hand, killing ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts is as good as cutting grass." It's as simple as that!"

"Is that difficult?" Li Suwen asked.

"It depends on the person? I spent about two years under the teacher's hands!"

"Two years?" Li Suwen rubbed her chin, thinking about whether to ask Xiaoman for advice, but heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Xiaoman, Wang Sima is here, he has something to ask you!"

"Wang Sima is here?" Li Suwen jumped up, but was stopped by Li Xiayu when she was about to go out.

"Little sister, we are now in a place of suspicion, don't cause trouble again!"

"Okay!" Li Suwen lowered her head in frustration and sat down.After a while, Wang Wenzuo came in from the door and closed the door behind him: "Your Highness, how are you doing these few days?"

"Please take care of King Sima, our sisters are having a good time these few days!" Li Xiayu said.

"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Your Highness, the imperial court has issued an edict, and I will return to Baekje in a few days. Xiaoman and Master Cao will also go with me. If you two There is no other place to go in Chang'an, why don't you leave Chang'an with my minister!"

Li Xiayu heard a lot of news about Wang Wenzuo from Xiaoman these days, and he was already mentally prepared to leave Chang'an, and said with a smile: "Our sisters are already like duckweed in the wind, and everything is arranged by Wang Sima!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Seeing Li Xiayu's understanding, Wang Wenzuo was delighted in his heart: "I have a good friend named Liu An who died in battle in Baekje. I intend to entrust the two of you to his widow, so I said that the two They are all the children of Paoze who died in battle, so this can also hide the eyes and ears of outsiders, what does His Highness think?"

Li Xiayu felt sad when she heard that she could not go to Baekje with Wang Wenzuo, but she also knew that her sisters were special, young and beautiful. A catastrophe, not only harmed himself.It will also hurt others, so he forced a smile and said: ""The concubine has already said that, we sisters will listen to Wang Sima's arrangements for everything! ""

"That's good!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Then please wait for a few days at ease!" Then he got up and left.

"Sister!" Seeing Wang Wenzuo leave, Li Suwen whispered: "You love Wang Sima so much, why don't you ask him to take you to Baekje?"

"Little sister, do you think a good man like Wang Sima will still lack women?" Li Xiayu sighed: "An ominous person like me will harm people wherever he goes, so it's better to stay away from him." !" At this point, she stood up suddenly, swept the dishes on the table to the ground, folded her hands and knelt down and prayed: "Maitreya Buddha in the Western Paradise, believers would rather be reduced to asuras, beasts, Hungry ghosts and other realms only hope that they will not be born in the emperor's house, and suffer such endless suffering!"

Chang'an, Baqiao.

Although it was still early in the morning, the banks of the Baqiao River were already crowded with pedestrians, beside the willow forest beside the bank, there were people everywhere offering wine as farewell and breaking willows as gifts.The princes and scholars in brocade robes and swords even wrote poems to say goodbye, and the sound of chanting was endless, which on the contrary dilutes the parting melancholy a bit.

"Sanlang!" Jin Renwen broke off a willow branch by the roadside, and handed it to Wang Wenzuo: "You and I say goodbye this time, I don't know when we will see you again, be kind and cherish yourself!"

"Little brother understands! Brother Renshou should also cherish it! After a few years, I will definitely lead Wanqi to be my elder brother's predecessor!" Wang Wenzuo took the willow branch, his eyes gradually became wet. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, communication was even more troublesome, and medical technology was also backward. Once parting, no one knows whether it will be the last time, and the sadness of parting is naturally beyond the comprehension of modern people who can contact by picking up the mobile phone.

"Okay, okay, we're all dependent on Saburo!" Jin Renwen patted Wang Wenzuo on the shoulder, and his eyes were slightly red: "You and my brothers are both warriors, so the gift of poems will be avoided. But the crown prince asked me to bring one." Here’s a present for you, so I’ll be lazy and be a favor!” After that, he took out a jade flute from his sleeve and played it.I saw the sound of the flute was agitated, like piercing gold and stone, and the attendants on the side responded in unison. Wang Wenzuo heard it familiarly, knowing that it was the "Lanling King Entering the Battle" which was very popular among the people at that time. The attack is like a thorn.

"One hundred thousand soldiers from Guanlong came like clouds covering the land; the siege was tens of thousands, all of them were Western troops; 500 cavalrymen entered the battle like stepping into the air, who was the first? Wan Fu. I am standing in the Jinyong moat, and the people in the city don’t know me, so I don’t need to show them to everyone, and they all say to save me! The Westerners go to break the siege, and the king of Gao returns after a hundred battles..."

After a while, the song was over, Wang Wenzuo put the saber back into its sheath, knelt down and took the jade flute in Jin Renwen's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Please return Xiedong Palace on behalf of my servant! I will be a powder to repay the country!"

"It's easy to say!" Jin Renwen lifted Wang Wenzuo from the ground, and helped him onto the horse: "We are farewell today. We are separated by thousands of miles. I hope that we have already made great achievements, built a foundation for eternity, and left a name in history!"

Igillian Bode was about to get on the horse, but found that his friend Dinghui was burying his head in writing something with a pen and paper. He would put the brush in his mouth and lick it from time to time, making his mouth full of ink, but unconsciously, he hurriedly asked: "Dinghui Hui, what are you doing? I've finished my farewell, and I'm on my way!"

"Wait for a while, I'll be fine soon!" Dinghui buried his head in the record without raising his head, and Yiji Lianbode looked curiously at the side, but found that the record on the friend's paper was the music score, and then he understood: "Aren't you going to record the score just now?"
