Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 421 A Gathering of Heroes 【Subscription】

"Brother, you mean, Wu Naxi dared to underestimate me from Liangshan Boli? What a big bastard." Cao Zheng was furious.

Shi Xiu then started talking about the matter from the beginning and said: "Brother, please listen to my younger brother. Yizhou has just experienced a military disaster. There are no people left outside the city. Even within the city, they have fled to other places. Then King Xi returned. Instead of helping the people and restoring their livelihood, Libao took advantage of the opportunity and asked his soldiers to secretly capture the people as slaves. As a result, there were almost no people in the huge Yizhou.

On that day, Brother Yang Lin and I made an agreement to return to the Central Plains first. Seven or eight miles outside the city gate, just two Xiren officials and seven or eight soldiers tied a rope to a hundred men and women, and drove them away with whips. Cattle and sheep are also walking.Brother Yang Lin was not annoyed when he saw it, and reasoned to the official that if he wanted the people to move, he could persuade them well and tied the ropes. It could be said that he was afraid that the people would run away, so he swung the long whip at the people's heads, so cruel. .But the Xi official shouted outrageously, who are you talking about?This is the order of his family's king, but dare to talk too much here?When he said that, he saw that we had weapons on our bodies, well dressed, and a whip in our hand, but we never swung it down.

Then the other official said, if you dare to say a word more, you will be tied up.

At that time, some people among the people said that they could not be bound, and this was a wealthy merchant from the Southern Dynasty.But the official regarded Nan Chao as mud under his feet.Brother Yang Lin said that we are heroes from Liangshan, and the official said even more that we were a group of thieves, so we put them in the south to try our best. If we were in the north, we would have been trampled into meat by thousands of troops.At that time, elder brother Yang Lin couldn't bear it anymore. He swung his knife and chopped off the official first.The other official was frightened and drew his sword to kill him. The younger brother also rushed forward and knocked him over.Then kill all those seven or eight Xi people.When the common people saw it, they gave a shout.Brother Yang Lin cut the rope and released them all.Later, we rode horses all the way, headed south along the Gaoliang River in Nanjing [Beiping], and arrived at the opposite bank of Nigu Village. "

Yang Lin, Shi Xiu and the others didn't bring any belongings, so they easily chartered a boat from the north bank of Jiehe River and crossed to the south bank.

Although this trade zone has not been booming for a while, it is already very lively.The herds of cattle, horses and sheep in the north swarmed southward. On their way down the Gaoliang River, not only did they see cargo ships passing by on the river, but they also encountered a caravan on land not long ago. They bumped into another caravan.

The Liao Kingdom now needs the import of grain and materials from Qilu.Although the Liao generals who escorted the cavalry and handed over supplies were very arrogant, the Liao generals who were the most arrogant and looked down upon the Southern Dynasties the most also knew at this time that the materials delivered from Nigu Village had replaced Bazhou. It has become the most important blood transfusion line in Daliao Kingdom at this moment.

Who told the big counselor to be short of food?

This year is not a good year, and the money and food consumed by the Song court in order to maintain the army's advance and suppression, especially squeezed Hebei.In the past, the Khitan dignitaries in Nanjing Road could buy silk, porcelain and other related items they needed from Bazhou.Anyway, there are 30-year-old coins enshrined by Dasong, and countless cattle and sheep [food] that Dasong buys from the North every year. This makes the Liao and Song Dynasties reluctantly form an interesting trade balance.And all this has been disrupted this year.

I am desperate and short of money, which was almost unimaginable in the past.At the same time, great turmoil broke out in the Liao and Song Dynasties. Both countries urgently needed food, armor—iron and leather. If the needs of the two countries collided, they could only do no harm to each other.However, Lu Qian had a large amount of armor and equipment in his hands, and the Song army's conquest made the Liangshan army's arsenal very abundant.Even if part of it was sold to Jiangnan, the remaining part would allow the Liao Kingdom to quickly arm a team of tens of thousands of people.

Of course, that can only be infantry.There is a difference between infantry armor and cavalry vest.

Food and soldiers, this is the lifeblood of the Liangshan Army to hold the Liao Kingdom.It's not that there were no Liao generals who wanted to attack Qilu.But the group of high-ranking intellectuals in the Song Dynasty clearly knew what it means to attack Guo with false doctrines.They dare not open the frontier defense of Bazhou to allow Khitan soldiers to enter and exit.

And just looking at the Cangzhou border, it is obviously easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition to food and armor, silk, porcelain, tea, and linen are also urgently needed by the Liao Kingdom.

Some of the latter are war horses and some are cattle.And it is also something that the Liangshan Army urgently needs.Both sides are aware of each other, and such mutual communication will inevitably greatly enhance the strength of the other side.But the primary enemy of the Liao army is the Jurchens, and the primary enemy of the Liangshan army is me.

For the time being, there is no direct conflict between the Liangshan Army and the Liao Kingdom.Just like the previous relationship between the Liangshan Army and the Jurchens.

Cao Zheng smiled and talked about the current trade zone for the two of them. This place is no longer what it was in the early days, only Haner from the North came here.Liang Shanjun was very disciplined, and the Khitan people on the opposite side gradually developed trust, although it was not high.But in the drug stalls in the trade area, the figures of Khitan nobles can be seen from time to time.

"You two brothers don't need to be angry. There will be a good show in this trade zone in a few days. The two brothers will stay in Cangzhou for the time being. When the martial arts field is completed, the North and the South will compete. If the brothers still have depression in their hearts, they will also Go out and compete with the Liao people." Cao Zheng then told Yang Lin and Shi Xiu about the martial arts training.Both of them were shocked when they heard the words, and the eyes of the latter were even more radiant.

And at this moment, a burst of "cracking" sound came into the ears of the three of them.Cao Zheng's face changed, the noise obviously came from his shop.Of course, this store is not owned by him, but this store is responsible for its own profits and losses during operation, and Cao Zheng enjoys [-]% of the rights and interests.

The three of them stood up at the same time and strode towards the front hall, only to see a team of patrolling sergeants pouring into the shop.Several troublemakers were arrested one after another, and indeed there were two Khitans among them.

The faces of several parties involved were flushed, and the wine jug that was smashed on the ground exuded a strong aroma of wine. As long as one smelled it, one could tell that it was Quancheng shochu, a kind of distilled wine.Although the food consumption will increase greatly, this kind of wine has a high alcohol content. Once it is put on the market, it quickly has a group of loyal fans.Especially in the north, those nobles of Khitan saw it as if dry wood met a raging fire.This kind of high-strength wine was originally created by Lu Qian to specialize in the Northland market.

As far as he is concerned, he still prefers to drink low-alcohol alcohol.

"Good dog head, don't leave if you have the guts. When the martial arts arena is repaired, you and I will teach each other? I, Nerugu, don't crush your eggs, I can't be considered a hero."

"I'm afraid of you. Young Master Zhang Yuanzhong, I was never afraid in my life. You and I have made a deal, we must see who wins and loses, and the winner will be decided. Anyone who is timid is not a hero."

Since the sergeant from the public security station intervened, Cao Zheng didn't show up.He said to Yang Lin and Shi Xiu: "This kind of thing has been seen a lot recently. The martial arts field has not yet been completed, and dozens of people have already made comparisons." But there is no distinction between identities. If there is hatred, they will do their best. Available on stage.As long as it is not intentional killing, it has nothing to do with casualties.

"Song Gongming specially asked the king for Shi Wengong, and Lu Yuanwai also came to Cangzhou, and Sun An, the dragon slayer, is also there. It can be said that there is a gathering of heroes. Once the martial arts field is contested, it must be rare in the world."

What Cao Zheng said made Yang Lin Shixiu feel like a fire was ignited in his heart.Jin Baozi then looked at Shi Xiu and said, "If you don't mind my virtuous brother, I will stay here for the time being. When I finish my work, I will come and meet you with my virtuous brother." In this way, it is decided that the martial arts field will be successful.

But just when the martial arts competition in Cangzhou was spreading more and more widely, it was drizzling outside Shouzhou City on Huainan West Road.

Chao Gai, who took over Huainan's recruitment, personally led his army to Shouzhou City a few days ago and formed three camps. He wanted to remove this hidden danger involving Haozhou's flanks in one fell swoop, so that he could reorganize his army and rush to Hefei in the future.

It was the first time that Chao Gai led his troops to attack, he was very cautious, he besieged first and then fought.If that Chen Yu [the appeasement envoy of Huainan West Road] leads troops to rescue, he will besiege the city to fight for aid.But who expected the color of God to change so quickly, the rain was dripping, and the bows and crossbows were weak, so they had to stop fighting and wait for the weather to clear.

At this time, Zhang Jun has served as a pro-army under Chao Gai's command. He is good at martial arts, and he is even more proficient in archery. He is also a veteran who has fought in the northwest for many years.

Although the sky was not clear that day, the rain stopped anyway.Zhang Jun led several riders to bypass the south of Shouzhou City, and Taotao Huaishui was beside him.War horses were galloping on the banks of the Huaihe River, when Zhang Jun suddenly heard someone singing and playing a qin, he didn't know what the sound of the qin was, but the singing was bold and majestic.Zhang Jun is not that kind of temperamental person, but he is careful. At such a time, someone is singing and playing the piano on the bank of the Huaihe River, there must be something wrong.Immediately, everyone followed the sound.

I don’t know when there is a small boat moored on the bank of the Huai River. A scholar looks like a man, but he is very strong. He is six feet long and sits on the bow like a tower. Flick the sword and chant.A jar of wine was placed on the side of the bow, and meat was simmering on the stove. The smell of wine and meat was blown by the wind, and the nose was fragrant.

Zhang Jun got off his horse, first asked everyone to wait, and strode forward by himself. "This gentleman is very romantic, can I share some wine?"

Hearing the cry, the man turned his head to look, and said displeasedly: "I only have these for my wine and meat. If you eat, I will have less."

Zhang Jun laughed loudly, "Sir, you are joking. There is no end to wine and meat in this world. If you vote for the right lord, why worry about having no wine and meat." He also likes to listen to people's stories, and in the Three Kingdoms, they are very popular. thing.As now.After speaking, he jumped onto the bow and sat down by himself.The man saw that he was not polite, so it was hard to say, Zhang Jun had been wandering around for a long time, he was really hungry, smelling the smell of meat, he stretched out his hand to grab the meat and tear it to eat, he drank from the mouth of the altar, came happily, and applauded loudly.Seeing him like this, the man's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Why did you eat all the mutton, why don't you keep some for me?"

"Aren't there two fish in it?" Zhang Jun, who was born in the northwest, was the most impatient to eat fish.

"This is a fish from the Huai River, I won't eat it!"

Zhang Jun didn't ask him why he would stew it with mutton since he didn't eat fish, but asked, "Why don't you eat it? Since you don't eat fish in the Huai River, why do you go boating on it?" There are no servants and bookboys, and no boatman. This is not a boat.

"Someone came here because there was going to be a good show here soon. But the Huaihe River flooded back. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians fed all the fish and turtles. Thinking about this tragic scene, but I have no intention of eating the fish in the Huaihe River again."

Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this, he got up quickly and said: "To tell you the truth, the villain is the guard under Chao Zhaoju's command. If you dare to ask why, it is such a big taboo for my family to call Zhaojuu to set up a camp. Please advise me, sir!" Saying a deep bow.

This man looked up to the sky and laughed, he learned how Jiang Taigong fished, and he hanged King Wen of Zhou, but he only hanged a personal guard.

"Look at the waves of the Huai River, how turbulent they are? And there will be heavy rain in the near future. If someone opens the mouth of the river bank at that time, and the water pours down, in just a moment, all the tens of thousands of soldiers will be dead .The officials in Shouzhou are not idiots, so they naturally know how to use this strategy. "They don't feel sorry for the people.
