The horse thieves from Yanshan village can no longer be called Yanshan thieves when they arrive in Juyeze.When the people on the Green Forest Road, the common people, and even the government mentioned Ju Ye Ze, they would naturally think of Zhang Jincheng.But now that Ju Yeze has changed its owner, the matter of this name really needs to be carefully considered.Whether it is Yanshan or Juyeze, they all represent a place, and they are limited. They are called Yanshan bandits on Yanshan Mountain, but they cannot be called Juyeze bandits in Juyeze.

Everyone discussed very enthusiastically, the representative ones were Zhang Zhongjian and Daxi Changru. What Zhang Zhongjian meant was that the team was still called Tiefutu. After all, this name has been with everyone since the beginning, including Li Xian. The name Tiefutu has deep feelings.What Daxi Changru meant was that whether it was Iron Buddha or Blood Cavalry, they were all things of the past. Sadness aside, these two names could actually be forgotten.He thought it was called Li Jiajun.

Everyone was talking about it, Luo Fu and other people who were born in Tiefutu naturally supported the restoration of the title of Tiefutu, but they also felt that what Daxi Changru said was right.If the people from Tiefutu say that the team should be called Tiefutu, and the people from Blood Cavalry say that the team should be called Blood Cavalry, what do the majority of soldiers think?Just called the Great Sui Fubing?This is obviously a bad joke.

Li Xian thought about it, and felt that Tiefutu was not suitable, nor was Li Jiajun.

If the name of Li Jiajun is really revealed, it may immediately provoke a thunderous blow from the Sui court.After all, no matter whether it is Emperor Wen's great ancestor Yang Jian, or Emperor Yang Guang of Daye's taboo against the surname Li is too deep, how much murder can a folk song of peaches and plums cause?Li Hun, who died innocently and 32 other people, is afraid that they are still cursing the Yang family in the underworld. (Note [-])

With the strength of Li Xian's current army, he still doesn't want to provoke this taboo.Although 30 soldiers were lost in the Sui conquest of Goguryeo last year, it is not unrealistic for Yang Guang to piece together an army of one million as long as he gives an order.Juye Ze is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it has not yet reached the point where it is impenetrable.Even if it arrives, what if the imperial army besieges it?

Just thinking about it, Zhang Xiaodi, who was playing beside Zhang Zhongjian, said solemnly: "Brother Anzhi also has a name called Yanyun, and we also came from Yanshan Mountain, so we will be called Yanyun Army."

Everyone laughed loudly, saying that Xiao Di was still a child with a straightforward temperament and didn't have so many troubles.

Li Xian also smiled and said, "Well, let's call him Yan Yunjun."

Xiao Di waved his small fist triumphantly, raised his jaw and shook Li Xian demonstratively.Li Xian was dumbfounded, and everyone laughed again.

"Zhang Jin said that he would definitely not give up. He lost his old nest. How could he bear this tone? Although more than 2 bandits were killed in the battle on the bank of the Yellow River, Zhang Jin said that there were still [-] soldiers who gathered the remnants. .Although he doesn't dare to attack back for the time being, it's hard to guarantee that he won't when he grows stronger in the future. So, I want to take advantage of his current weakness to completely solve this trouble!"

Li Xian waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Daxi Changru thought for a while and said: "Aren't the people of the Flying Tiger Army staring at Zhang Jinzhi's men and horses? Any news?"

Chen Que'er got up and said, "I just received the news from the spy yesterday. It seems that the people Zhang Jin said are going to Daishan."

"Daishan?"

Zhang Zhongjian thought for a while and said, "Did Zhishilang Wang Bo's troops cross the Yellow River a few days ago? Zhang Jin said that he took his troops to vote for Wang Bo? No, he probably didn't know that Wang Bo also went south." .”

"Certainly not!"

Chen Que'er said: "Zhang Jincheng doesn't agree with the other leaders of the rebellion, because he killed Sun Anzu, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande in Gaojibo are hostile to Zhang Jincheng, even if they don't want to avenge Sun Anzu, But many of their soldiers and horses gathered in Gaojibo for this reason. And Zhishilang Wang Bo just came from the north and south of the Yellow River and wanted to gain a foothold in the land of Qilu, so how could Zhang Jincheng snatch it? His territory?" (Note [-])

It was at the foot of Mount Dai that Wang Bo was defeated by the famous Sui general Zhang Xutuo!

Li Xian frowned, and an idea gradually popped up in his heart.

Qi County

Pei Caozhi, the governor of Qi County, took a sip of tea, glanced at the officials under him, and then turned his attention to Zhang Xutuo, the governor of Qi County.Pei Caozhi admired Zhang Xutuo very much.In the past two years, the world of Da Sui has become more and more uneven.In the north of the Yellow River, there are more than a dozen rebel armies, including Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode, etc., with a combined strength of 10,000+ people.There is Guo Fangyu in Beihai County, and Zhang Jincheng in Juyeze. There are rebels everywhere, but because Zhang Xutuo is guarding Qi County, the rebels from all walks of life dare not come to Qi County to fight.Relying on the more than 50 county soldiers, several large-scale rebel teams were wiped out one after another. The [-]-year-old general is worthy of the title of a famous general in the world.

"Old General, what do you think of this matter?"

Pei Caozhi put down his teacup and said with a smile.

Zhang Xutuo has a square face, thick beard and tiger eyes, even sitting there, he has an aura of calmness and prestige.Perhaps it was because he had killed too many people, and the cold murderous aura on his body could not be suppressed even when he was drinking tea.If Pei Caozhi hadn't worked with him for many years, I'm afraid he would still think that he is cold and repulsive.In fact, Zhang Xutuo is enthusiastic and not a bloodthirsty person.

"Last year, the summer and autumn grains were almost non-existent. Although Qi County is rich, after this winter, who can sweep out a few grains of stored grain in the families of the common people? It will soon be the season of spring farming, and there will be no crops. , Many people don’t even have seeds, if this continues, I’m afraid they will starve to death in a short time.”

Zhang Xutuo sighed and said: "My opinion is, let the common people get through this difficulty first before opening the warehouse to release grain."

A civil servant said with a wry smile: "Although the old general's words are correct, but...it is a serious crime to open a warehouse without permission. If it is reported to the court, His Majesty will pursue it, what should we do?"

Pei Caozhi lowered his hands and said, "The imperial government put officials in various places to support the people and maintain peace. If the people are in trouble, it is also a dereliction of duty for an official."

He thought for a while and said: "Now there are rebel refugees everywhere, but our Qi County is still relatively peaceful. But now the people have no food and no seeds. If this continues, there is no guarantee that some people in our Qi County will take the opportunity to instigate People, when the time comes, will it not be you and me who are devastated?"

Zhang Xutuo said: "What the governor said is right!"

Someone said: "In the opinion of the lower officials, it is necessary to open the warehouse, but the food in the storehouse of Qi County must be transported to the west of Liaoxi for the use of the Liao army. If it is really inappropriate to open the warehouse rashly, it is better to send someone I rushed to Zhuojun all night and night, and asked His Majesty to make a decision."

Zhang Xutuo stood up abruptly and said: "The road from Qi County to the west of Liaoning is far away, and the road is not safe. Even if the people sent can reach the west of Liaoning smoothly and have an audience with His Majesty, how long will it take to go back and forth? At least two months, as many as It may take three to five months. By then, hungry people will be everywhere and starving people will be everywhere, and it will be too late!"

He clasped his fists at Pei Caozhi and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you do this, open a warehouse now to release food to help the people, and then send people to the west of Liaoxi to report to the imperial court, it would be the best if you can meet His Majesty. If His Majesty blames it, I will bear this great crime with all my strength! Fu Jun only needs to say that I brought soldiers to open the warehouse forcibly, and Zhang will never implicate his colleagues!"

Pei Caozhi also stood up, took Zhang Xutuo's hand and sighed: "Who does the old general think I am? If that's the case, then the old general and I will bear the crime together!"

He waved his hand and said, "Come on, open a position!"

Just as he was talking, a small official came in panting suddenly, and said eagerly: "It's not good, my lord! The rebel Wang Bo in Jibei has already crossed the Yellow River with tens of thousands of horses, and is going to kill us in Qi County." coming!"

"what!"

Pei Caozhi's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo opened his tiger eyes and scolded the little official: "What are you afraid of? A traitor, even if he has tens of thousands of grassroots under his command, would he scare you like this? Shame on you!"

He turned to Pei Caozhi and said, "My lord, don't worry, I'll go back and gather the soldiers, I'm afraid that Wang Bo won't come, if he dares to disturb the peace of our people in Qi County, I'll kill him and let his blood flow like a river! "

In an instant, murderous aura surged.

……

……

Qi County's soldiers are good at fighting, which is well-known throughout the north.The old general Zhang Xutuo was invincible, which was famous throughout the Sui Dynasty.In the early years, when old general Zhang Xutuo followed General Shi Wansui to quell the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and then followed Chu Gong Yang Su to suppress the rebel king Yang Liang, he was already famous all over the world.Since arriving in Qi County, four or five rebels have been wiped out in the past year. The rebels, large and small, from the north and south of the Yellow River, heard the three words Zhang Xutuo, and everyone was a little scared.

The county soldiers are different from the government soldiers. Their equipment and military salaries are not paid by the imperial court, but are supplied by the local governments themselves.The Fubing is undoubtedly the most powerful team in the Sui Dynasty, because they have been training in the barracks for a long time.The county soldiers are different. The county soldiers go to the fields to farm when the farming is busy, and gather together to train soldiers when the farming is slack.If there are thieves, they are the officers and soldiers. If no one comes, they are the people.

Because of this, the equipment and salary of the county soldiers are far inferior to those of the government soldiers.Qi County is not bad, because Qi County is quite rich and there is no war. The county guard Pei Caozhi and the county magistrate Zhang Xutuo also have a tacit understanding, so the equipment of the county soldiers is far better than that of other counties. , at the very least, the standard leather armor, horizontal knife, bow and arrow can still be assembled.Zhang Xutuo's military training is very good. Although the county soldiers don't have a lot of time to practice together, there is no doubt that the combat power of the Qi County soldiers is not worse than that of the Sui soldiers.

Zhang Xutuo is a famous general in the world, and he is the target that many leaders in the whole northern green forest road want to kill.Because of him, the rebels from all walks of life would not be able to plunder the affluent Qi County.
