Chapter 174: First come first(1/2)
The magistrate of Luzhou and the magistrate of Luzhou were also waiting at Shuitu Gate in Luyang.
When they learned that it was a great victory, they thought that whether it was the Chuzhou Army or the Chaohu Navy, there were only joys, and they didn't know how to celebrate.
But it was also embarrassing. The defeated soldiers were the Luzhou soldiers.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that something had happened.
Only one young man went downstairs and called two teenagers to go up.
The Chuzhou Army general who stayed in Luyang also brought the deputy general on board the ship.
There were thousands of warships behind them, but they began to ship soldiers, and they were so vast that they could not see the number of people.
"What's going on? There won't be an internal strife between the Chuzhou Army and the Navy?"
The Luzhou judge muttered.
The two sides had agreed to the outside world before, but now the war is over. Do these "crossing river dragons" and "local snakes" also have to be divided into masters and subordinates?
The Tongzhi of Luzhou did not respond.
Does this master and slave still need to be divided?
No matter how powerful the Chaohu Navy is, it is limited to the water.
The Chuzhou Army got the icing on the cake for Chaohu Navy, and it would not be possible to die without Chaohu Navy.
This time, the Chaohu Navy did not have the help of Chuzhou Army, but it would have suffered a lot.
As he spoke, the boat finally made a move.
A group of people surrounded a tall and strong man in his forties and got off the boat.
Whether it was General Deng or General Shui, they were all by the man. Several people on the other side also looked familiar, and they were obviously several Chaohu navy leaders who were once the prefect.
However, the two teenagers who were called on the boat before did not show up.
The Luzhou Tongzhi and the Luzhou Tongzhi rushed forward.
When Deng Jian met, he introduced the identities of Huo Wu.
The two of them knew that the man in front of them was Marshal Huo, so they hurriedly bowed to pay their respects.
Huo Wuxu helped him and said, "All government affairs in Luzhou are as normal."
"Abide by the marshal's order!"
The two responded, and were surprised.
Isn't it a big victory?
Why did the people who came down have their faces hanging down and there was no joy.
Or are the two families really having a rift?
This is not good news for Luzhou.
Huo Wu stopped, pointed to the soldiers behind him, and ordered Shui Jin, "Place the camp first..."
"Ode to the Lord!"
Shui Jin responded and arranged for the soldiers to go.
Huo Wu then said to the deputy governor: "Hey, I never expected such a change. Brother Tang is two years younger than me..."
Deputy Chief Yu hurriedly said, "Fifth Master, please forgive me for the change... These are all fate, so where can we talk about age? If God is in a row to take over people, he should take over me first..."
After hearing this, Huo Wu waved his hand quickly: "Don't say such words to the master... Nowadays, if you want to close your eyes, you dare not close your eyes. For the sake of the children, we can live a hundred years of long life!"
Deputy Chief Yu has passed the year of knowing destiny and is also the father of his three sons. He heard this and said: "That's true!"
The Luzhou Tongzhi and the Luzhou Tongzong realized what they meant and also brought a bit of solemnity.
...
The group went back to Luzhou Prefecture and then sat back.
It was still Huo Wu who sat in the middle.
Deng Jian, Xue Biao, and Master Lin sat in his left hand, and Deputy Chief Yu, An Yong, Deputy Chief Yu's second son Yu Dajiang, and An Yong's younger brother An Zhuang.
Yu Dahai brought his brothers and stayed at Chaohu Lake, but did not go there.
The Luzhou Tongzhi and the Luzhou Tongzhi stood behind, not knowing how to take a seat.
This is obviously the ranking of the Chuzhou Army and Chaohu Navy, and there is no position in them.
Huo Wu knew directly about Luzhou: "See some in the official examination, and turn around and pass the exam to transfer the scholars who passed the test to Chuzhou..."
The Luzhou Tongzhi bowed and responded.
Huo Wu looked at him: "General Deng praised you for your understanding... Luyang has been peaceful these days, and it has also been a contribution from you and the magistrate. It is just that the idea of being an official in another place is decided, and I will guard it... I don't care where you are from Luzhou. You join the Chuzhou Army in Luzhou. I just think you are from Luzhou... Chuzhou, Hezhou already has a head office, so you stay in Luyang for the time being. When the Chuzhou Army goes to another state, you will be transferred to you..."
When the Luzhou Tongzhi heard this, he became more respectful: "Abide by the marshal's orders, do your duty and do not dare to slack off!"
I never expected that there would be such a good thing waiting.
Before, he thought that he wanted to give way to others, but now it seems that Marshal Huo means that he has lost his Luzhou Tongzhi and has similar positions waiting for him.
Although Huo Wu is a person who protects his shortcomings, he also knows what it means to act within his ability.
Although Chao County and Wuwei County are both magistrates, they both take the initiative to compete with each other, but they wear the big hats of their brains.
In a place like Luzhou, it is better to maintain stability.
The Luzhou Tongzhe was a little nervous.
Compared with the "transparency" of Tongzhi of Luzhou, he did not perform well before. He even thought Deng Jian and others were Chaohu navy, and scolded him angrily.
Unexpectedly, Deng Jian was the second-ranked figure in the Chuzhou Army.
Huo Wu looked at the Luzhou Tongzong: "I heard that you are good at litigation... Our Chuzhou Army has also set up supervision, and the leader is an old man who loves the people as much as his son and respects. Go back and help him..."
The Luzhou Tongzhe also agreed.
The two retreated.
Deputy Chief Yu sighed: "When it comes to these officials in Luzhou, one of them must be mentioned... Even the Luzhou Chief Commander is also somewhat incenseful to our navy, but now he doesn't know whereabouts and lives or death."
The Luzhou magistrate wanted to dispatch troops, but he could not surpass the Luzhou magistrate.
However, the Luzhou magistrate jumped into Yuxi River, and where the "missing" commander was, it is unknown whether he was alive or dead.
Huo Wu said: "If you are taken to Qichun, there will always be news coming back... If there is no news, I am afraid it will be a lot of danger..."
If he could be threatened by Shou Tianwan's men, this Luzhou commander would not have been "missed".
This must have been moved away because it was unwilling to join forces.
Huo Wu also introduced the leaders of the generals and leaders to the Chaohu Water Village.
Before, when they were on the boat, because Tang Guang was sick, the two sides met in a hurry and did not introduce them carefully.
"This general Deng Jian is my cousin, a native of Quyang. He was originally a county magistrate of Quyang. In March, Bozhou white shirt occupied Lingshui and entered Quyang. It was my cousin who led hundreds of county soldiers to expel thousands of Bozhou white shirts to protect one side. Before, Chuzhou army was Pinghezhou and entered Luzhou, he was the main general... Speaking of which, our Chuzhou army was the 20,000 Quyang soldiers that my cousin fought in March. My cousin was brave and the mace technique he used was of the same origin as the fifth general. Now my son and nephew all practice mace technique with him. My cousin was smart and cute, so I started early and hired as a child's wife..."
Deng Jian hugged everyone and saw him.
Vice President Yu led everyone to stand up and returned the gift.
He was very surprised.
He knew Master Lin’s identity, but the seats he had arranged just now were actually under Deng Jian and Xue Biao.
How come Deng Jian is so young?
After listening to Huo Wu's introduction, I realized where Deng Jian's confidence lies.
This is the first general of the Chuzhou Army.
Not to mention the old qualifications and this dual relationship, only in troubled times, bravery and good at fighting are the fundamentals.
"I have a brother, General Ma Kui. I am a brother of a different surname. I have a lazy and lazy personality. I was raising old age in Black Python Mountain. I was dragged down the mountain by me. Now I stayed in Chuzhou. There are three villages on Black Python Mountain, with two thousand soldiers and horses. After going down the mountain, I found this Chuzhou army... He has a daughter, my adopted daughter, and now she is under General Deng's command with her son-in-law..."
The Chaohu Navy understood that General Ma was the No. 3 figure of Chuzhou Army.
Huo Wu pointed to Xue Biao again: "This is my brother Xue Biao... good at economics, and he is the God of Wealth of our Chuzhou Army. This spring, Chuzhou has a severe drought and the food supply is not enough. It is all my brother's way. He has been transporting grain from Jinling to support tens of thousands of soldiers... A few days ago, he went to Hangzhou, and he was also working for our Chuzhou Army and purchasing arms..."
Vice President Yu and others all stood up to salute.
They did not despise Xue Biao because he was a businessman. They were all officers and soldiers who transferred from private soldiers and knew the most about the cost of raising soldiers.
Xue Biao also returned the gift humbly, with a little embarrassed look on his face.
Whether it is buying grain or buying arms... Although he has tried his best, Huo Bao has made contributions to it...
Huo Wu glanced at Master Lin and said, "Mr. Lin and the governor are old acquaintances, so I won't say much... We brothers are all rough people and don't see it for a long time. The general direction of the Chuzhou Army is Mr. Lin... I am a man who doesn't study, but I respect scholars the most, so I have thick faces to ask my son to be a student under Mr. Lin, so that he can learn more from students Lin..."
Vice President Yu and others understood that Mr. Lin was the leader of the Chuzhou Army, and the "Crown Prince's Grand Tutor" and the first civil servant.
Huo Wu said again: "General Du Fei, who was directly assigned to Shucheng by the Yuxi River this morning, was also my brother. It was me, Ma Kui and Xue Biao's little brother. He is honest and a most realistic person. He was with Lao Ma on the Black Python Mountain before..."
Speaking of this, Huo Wu paused: "Then he is Old Tang... Old Tang was also from Hei Python Mountain. He was once the lord of a village and a powerful man. He was old acquaintances with my two brothers, and we pulled him down the mountain..."
"The head of the old Tang Dynasty was General Feng Jue and Feng who divided his troops to Lujiang County this morning. He was one of the five marshals in Bozhou last year... A few days ago, Bozhou was not peaceful, and Marshal Sun and Marshal Liu fought against each other. General Feng led his troops to escape and caught up with Shandong soldiers coming down from Xuzhou to suppress the rebellion. General Feng went south to seek help, and then surrendered to Chuzhou..."
