Crossing the green wheat ears

Xiyuan originally thought that he and Wei Cheng would spend the rest of their lives quietly together like this.Sometimes, thinking of Wei Cheng living in this small lotus village with all his abilities, he would sigh and feel guilty.Xi Wei and Wei Cheng were brought up by him, now that Xi Wei is facing each other, Xi Yuan feels more and more sorry for Wei Cheng, but no matter what, he is reluctant to ask Wei Cheng to leave him.

Perhaps, there must be some regrets in life, to be content and always happy, Xiyuan comforted himself in his heart.

He was regretting here, but in the end, in the summer of the seventh year of Tianyou, Wei Cheng was appointed as the commander of Yan Suiwei through an edict, which greatly exceeded Xiyuan's expectations, including Wei Cheng's.

Yansui didn't have a guard in the first place, otherwise he couldn't have allowed Huzi to take over the mountain and become king and run rampant in the village.The key point is that this place was very poor before, and it didn’t make much sense to set up or not to set up a guard post. There was nothing to protect, so why raise those soldiers.

It is different now. In recent years, Yansui and several surrounding counties have gradually developed, becoming a relatively rich place in the North and even the entire Great Yan Kingdom.If you have treasures at home, of course you have to take care of them, otherwise what should you do if you are coveted?Therefore, after consultation, the relevant ministries and offices decided to set up a guard in Yansui to be responsible for the defense of Yansui and the surrounding counties.

When discussing who would be the commander of the guard, the former deputy commander of the tiger and leopard rider Liu at Yongning Pass, who had already become a general, suddenly thought of Wei Cheng.

Wei Changshan was disarmed and returned to the field because his left arm was injured, he could not bend his bow and hold a gun, so he asked to return to his hometown, and Wei Changshan was injured to save him. General Liu has been brooding about this matter for several years. It is also a pity that a good boy with both civil and military skills is buried in the grass.

Originally, he thought that with Wei Changshan's literary and martial arts strategy, even if he couldn't wear armor and go into battle, he could be a civilian in the army, but Wei Changshan said that a man can't fight on the battlefield with gold and iron horses, it's better to go home and be a farmer , so resolutely and without hesitation, he returned to Yansui.

For so many years, General Liu has deeply regretted this. However, two years ago, he heard people say that Wei Changshan's arm seemed to have recovered a lot.Why is the Xi family brother so tight-lipped? Where did he hear it?Anyway, the old brothers of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry used to have some contacts in private, some news, and wanted to inquire specifically, but with their abilities, there was nothing they could hide.

Now that there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, General Liu certainly can't miss it, and immediately thought of Wei Cheng.So do my best to recommend.

In other words, Emperor Tianyou may not have much impression of Wei Changshan, but he still has a fresh memory of the archer who killed the enemy chief with one arrow outside Yongning Pass.

That event played a key role in Emperor Tianyou's career as an emperor, so when General Liu mentioned it, Emperor Tianyou matched the events of the past with the people of today.

With the approval of Emperor Tianyou and General Liu's protection, Wei Cheng, the commander of the guard, could not escape.

However, Wei Cheng, who received the order, was a little hesitant. The so-called military orders were like a mountain. He was afraid that once he entered the army, he would be involuntarily like he was in the tiger and leopard cavalry.

"Go ahead, the situation is different now than it was back then. Besides, there is a garrison standing there brightly. It won't go east today and west tomorrow, right? If it doesn't work, hang a seal and seal it in gold." Yuan felt that this was a good opportunity. Wei Cheng could fulfill his long-cherished wish without being too far away from home. To put it bluntly, Xi Yuan felt sorry for his younger brother, but he was still reluctant to waste all of Wei Cheng's abilities. It was fine if he didn't have a chance before, but he had a chance. If not, he would feel sorry for Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng thought about it for two days, and passed a memorial to Emperor Tianyou through General Liu.

In the memorial, Wei Cheng expressed his gratitude to the emperor's grace, and at the same time made a request, that is, it is okay for him to serve as Yan Suiwei, but he will only hold this position in his life, and he will not be promoted or promoted. Change, Yongzhen Yansui.

"I really don't know what's good and what's wrong, and even made a request to me!" Emperor Tianyou was so angry that his face turned pale. How can there be such a person who asked him to be an official?

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down." General Liu couldn't do anything about it. Wei Cheng's memorial was handed over through him, so General Liu knew exactly what was inside.Now seeing the emperor getting angry, he quickly cooled down.

"Wei Changshan was orphaned when he was young, and he was brought up by his adoptive father and elder brother. It is said that his adoptive father's family treated him like their own. When Wei Changshan was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown, he made a vow to be filial to his adoptive father and elder brother for the rest of his life. In order to repay the kindness of nurturing back then. Now that he refuses to leave Yansui, it seems that he refuses to violate the original oath." General Liu explained this, some did not, and said a lot, and finally gave Tianyou Emperor Moved, he wrote a big "Zhun" on Wei Cheng's memorial.

Wei Cheng was about to get the quasi-word from Emperor Tianyou, so he happily went to take up his post.

Yansuiwei said it was a guard, but in fact it was different from other guards in Dayan. The regular guard was composed of five thousand households, with a total of more than 600 people, but Yansuiwei There are only more than 2000 people, and there are two thousand household offices under it.

After accepting the appointment, Wei Cheng began to work on the construction of the guard and the recruitment of soldiers.At Wei Cheng's insistence, the headquarter of the guard was located in Heixiagou, fifteen miles away from Lianhua Village. It was said to be Heixiagou, but there were no Xiongxiazi here. As for the origin of the name, it was impossible to test.

The reason why the guard was set up here, Wei Cheng said to the outside world, is that this place has a special location, it is in the center of the protection range of the guard, the terrain is dangerous, and it can be attacked or defended.

Actually?

In fact, apart from the above two reasons, the most important one is that this place is only a dozen miles away from Lianhua Village, and he can go back as long as he rides a horse and has fun, so it doesn't take several days to lose sight of Xiyuan.For Wei Cheng, nothing is more important than staying with his brother.

For the construction of the guard house, Xiyuan gave Wei Cheng some suggestions based on what he had seen and heard in his previous life. Wei Cheng comprehensively integrated his military knowledge and adopted it appropriately.

At the same time, some of the soldiers in the guard were dispatched by the imperial military department, and some were recruited locally by the commander Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng had no way to control the soldiers who were dispatched, but Wei Cheng had to be in favor of the soldiers he recruited.The soldiers recruited are basically from the North, mainly young men from Yansui and the nearby counties, all of them are upright and full of energy. .

In the words of Wei Changshan's admonishment to new soldiers, covet life and fear death, don't join the army, get promoted and get rich, and find another way. Those who join our Yansuiwei must be a man of seven feet, stand upright, and swear to defend their family and country to the death!

Don't tell me, Wei Cheng's impassioned speech was really demagogic, boosted morale, and mobilized the enthusiasm of all the young men.

Then, Wei Cheng showed off his abilities again. As a man, words don't count, but strength is the last word. With his real skills, Wei Changshan completely amazed the soldiers under him. Then he followed him wholeheartedly.

Wei Cheng trained the recruits recruited by his subordinates, but the veterans dispatched by the imperial court did not come for a long time.However, Wei Cheng is not in a hurry, it would be better if he didn't come, and he would be the one to recruit them all, so that the people under his hands would be happy to use them.

Emperor Tianyou was originally on a whim, he followed the advice of the ministers below, and approved to build this small guard in Yansui. At that time and for a long time after that, he didn't take it seriously. This is similar to ordinary people raising a watch dog in their own courtyard. Of course, it is a bit unethical to compare people to dogs, but the nature is similar.

However, no one thought that this small guard would make great contributions to the Great Yan Kingdom after more than [-] years.

It should be said that the barbarians in the north were beaten honestly in the battle of Yongning Pass.However, it was bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, especially in times of famine, and the barbarians didn't even have food to eat. Moreover, the scars were healed and they forgot the pain. Therefore, in the winter of the 35th year of Tianyou, they went south again in a delusional attempt to plunder the Central Plains.

However, this time they learned the lessons of more than [-] years ago, and did not invade from the direction of Yongning Pass in the northwest, but from the central part, passing through Heihu Pass and Heishui Pass, and approaching the direction of Yansui.

The Hu people are not stupid, they have already been sent out, and they know that the vicinity of Yansui in the north is very rich, so they have made a plan to plunder enough money in Yansui even if they can't go south to enter the pass.

The Hu people went south, and at the beginning, the momentum was overwhelming. The court received an urgent report from eight hundred miles, and people were panicked for a while. At this time, the already old Emperor Tianyou no longer had the calmness and courage he had when he was the emperor. On the dragon chair, I didn't move for a long time, not knowing where to go.

But what Emperor Tianyou and the Hu people who knew everything in their minds did not expect was that the small, inconspicuous Yan Suiwei, with the strength of more than 5000 people in the guard, well, after so many years, Yan Suiwei finally had With development, from the beginning of more than 2000 people, it has increased to five thousand households, with more than 600 people, and finally it looks like a formal health center.

There are more than 5000 people in the guard, plus the soldiers who have served in the guard in the past and have returned to their hometowns to farm, a total of more than 2 people, resisting the enemy in Laoheishan, Suihe County, where Yansui Guard was built early The fortifications in the village were built by Wei Changshan after he took office. It is a hundred miles away from Lianhua Village.

Under the leadership of Xichangguan, the eldest brother of Xidi, the people in the north gave cotton clothes, food, fodder, and charcoal to the soldiers resisting the Hu people in the snow and cold. The soldiers and the people swore to defend their homeland with one heart.

These 2 people guarded Laoheishan and resisted the Hu people's [-] cavalry for more than a month. Until the court reacted, took a breath, and sent reinforcements.

After the arrival of the reinforcements, they joined the soldiers of Yansui Garrison and started a Jedi counterattack. At that time, the old general Wei, who was nearly sixty years old, held a long gun in his hand and immediately went to the enemy. Take a step into Yansui.

As for why you didn't step into Yansui, can you just step into other places?People in the world and future generations automatically interpret it as: Judging from the situation at that time, Yansui was synonymous with Dayan Kingdom, and Yansui in Wei Changshan Pass refers to Dayan.As for the inside, um, if the person involved doesn't say anything, no one else can verify it.

The wheels of history seem to be overlapping again at this moment. When the two sides are inseparable from each other, Wei Li, a young general of the Wei family, whose nickname is Huang Tonger, holds the iron-armed bow inherited from his father and shoots an arrow. Shot the enemy chieftain.

This enemy chieftain happened to be the son of the enemy chieftain who was shot and killed by Wei Changshan back then. Therefore, the father and son launched two wars, and both times they died at the hands of Wei's father and son.

As soon as the leader died, the Hu people lost their positions, retreated steadily, and withdrew from the territory of Dayan Kingdom.

It is said that from then on, no matter men, women or children among the Hu people, their faces changed when they heard of Wei's father and son. When they heard that Wei's children were serving in the army, they dared not go south.Of course, this is just a legend.

After the battle, the imperial court rewarded him, but the veteran Wei Changshan, who had made illustrious military exploits in the battle, handed in his resignation, saying that he was too old to serve the imperial court, and that he had been raised by his elder brother since childhood, and was willing to beg his old man to return home , Accompanying the eldest brother for the rest of the year.
