Zhao Ge

Chapter 117: Indistinguishable from black and white

Views:

Bomu Fort is a military fort established in Guangwu period in Guazhou. It is close to the ghost town of Guazhou, and the military fort is not big. According to the military system of the Jin Tang Dynasty, there would not be too many troops stationed in military forts of this scale, and generally two to three commanders prevailed.

However, the army stationed in Bomubao is not commanded by two or three, but has the number of one army.

According to the establishment of Jintang, 250 people make up one commander, and five commanders make up an army. There are as many as 2,500 troops stationed in Bomubao. Moreover, during the reign of Guangwu, the "reform of military transformation" was carried out, and the imperial favor was awarded to the various ethnic minorities in the frontier, allowing them to join the army as "power soldiers".

There are quite a number of powerful soldiers in Bomubao. Adding up the numbers, the garrison reaches 3,000 people, and the designation is "Quanjie First Army on the Left Chamber".

The leader of the army was the young general who patrolled the city with a capital accent, the commander of Bomubao, Chen Geguang. The founding of the Jin and Tang Dynasties was supported by aristocratic families. In the following hundreds of years, Wen Dao was promoted, and the adjutants of the local garrison were generally appointed as civil officials to exercise restraint. The name is "Mr. Yan" who wears an iron mask and moves strangely.

The former Duyu envoy was a frail scholar who was exiled here. He "died of a serious illness" shortly after arriving here. Later, the post of Duyu envoy was vacant for a while. Until a few days ago, this Mr. Yan Arrived suddenly.

On the surface, Mr. Yan's official position is lower than that of Chen Geguang, but Mr. Yan actually came here with the order written by the current emperor.

In the secret order, the sage made it clear that Mr. Yan's actions are all the will of the sage, and no one who sees the secret order should violate it.

This is why Mr. Yan, who is the envoy of Duyu, can directly order Chen Geguang to mobilize the entire army.

The First Army on the left side of Quanjie gathered all the troops except for some garrison troops, and according to Mr. Yan's request, they carried several eight-pronged vehicles on the march. Among the five commanders, two commanders were light cavalry. Chen Geguang rode alone on a fine horse and led the light cavalry first, followed by Mr. Yan in a chariot.

At night in Guazhou, sandstorms raged. But separated by ghost towns, the wind and sand near Bomu Fort is relatively small, and the marching helmets with hoods are fast against the wind and sand, and the speed is not fast.

Chen Geguang looked at the firelight in the corner of the ghost town, wondering what it could be, but the firelight did not last long, and without the guidance of the firelight, the team could easily get lost in the sandstorm night.

Chen Geguang frowned, ordered the cavalry to stop, and sent a soldier back to ask the mysterious Mr. Yan what he had to do.

As soon as the soldiers left, Chen Geguang heard a surprised sound from his personal guard.

There was a sound of flapping wings above his head, and Chen Geguang looked around in astonishment, only to see a small sky bird flapping its wings above his head and flying down from the wind and sand.

On the land of the Twelve Dynasties, the sky bird was not uncommon, but in the dry Keladroma, there were few such birds that flew high in the sky and were rumored to live on clouds and mists. At this time, seeing a small scorpion flying out of the sandstorm, everyone was very surprised.

Seeing the Lingxiao bird, Chen Geguang thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to call Ling Xiaoniao to stop.

But the Lingxiao bird stopped in the mid-air in front of Chen Geguang, opened and closed its beak, and Mr. Yan's cold, chilling voice came out:

"General Chen just needs to follow me."

After all, the Lingxiao bird turned around and flew towards the direction of the ghost city.

Chen Geguang withdrew his hand, his face gloomy: "Follow."

The guards on the left and right wanted to ask something, but they were too frightened by Chen Geguang's cold stare to touch him.

Chen Geguang led the light cavalry forward on horseback, and the scorpion bird really flew in front of them in the storm, guiding the way unhurriedly. Looking at the Lingxiao bird, Chen Geguang remembered something.

Chen Geguang was not a reckless military officer, he was actually from an aristocratic family. There were many famous families in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, but among them, the Chen family, the Liu family, the Ye family and the Ji family of the royal family were collectively known as the "Four Great Masters". However, the Liu family of "Singing in the Clouds" died in the accident of Beijing more than ten years ago, leaving only three of the four great families.

It was at that time that Chen Geguang was exiled to Guazhou, a place where nothing shit happens.

Born in the "Nanhuai Chen family" and a descendant of the direct line, Chen Geguang was supposed to be an official in the capital.

It can only be said that Chen Geguang was young and energetic back then. After the accident happened in Yunzhongge's Liu family, almost everyone tried their best to clear up the responsibility, and they dared not say what should not be said, and avoided it for fear of being too late. Fortunately, he carried a can of wine and went directly to the place where the ancestral temple of Liu's family was burned after seven days ruins.

Sitting on the ruins, he cried and laughed, mourning his friend who was buried in the sea of fire, the son of Liu's family.

Condolences are enough, and the wine is good, and then turned around and sent to Guazhou, a ghostly place full of birds and yellow sand. Before leaving, my father was furious and reprimanded him for being ignorant and misbehaving.

"An act of mischief? What is an act of mischief? Seeing the inversion of black and white, seeing a close friend die in vain and then protecting oneself wisely, is this misconduct?" Kneeling in front of the hall, he contradicted his father.

"Bitch!"

"Stupid self-defense, that's a coward. I'd rather die in the desert than live like that."

he sneered.

Then he was stationed in Bomubao, a small city in Guazhou, for several years.

Guarding a piece of yellow sand, the future has become empty talk, Chen Geguang has not regretted it, but given another chance, he will still drink without hesitation, go to the ruins after the fire, and mourn his dead friends .

For a man who reads so many scriptures and poems, he doesn't want to read them like a wretch who is worse than a woman.

However, even after being demoted, he is still a native of Jin Tang. Even if he has some complaints about the current emperor, he is still concerned about the situation in Jin Tang. But in the past few years, even though he was in the desert of Guazhou, he was aware of those hidden undercurrents and turbulence, and his anxiety gradually took hold in his heart.

This anxiety reached its peak when Mr. Yan, who came with an iron mask and a secret order from the Jin Tang Dynasty, served as the envoy of Du Yu.

Although the Jin Tang Dynasty was a secular dynasty, it was not all ordinary people. Among the aristocratic royal families, there were some cultivators, and it was not uncommon for cultivators to be officials. Out of evil.

The demonic aura is by no means a person in the righteous way.

The Holy Majesty has started to take on this kind of person. Will the Jin Tang Dynasty really not encounter any disasters

Chen Geguang was worried, braved the wind and sand, and followed Ling Xiaoniao.
