"It's all right if I didn't raise troops to beat him. How dare he show off his power at the door of my house? If you don't give him a little bit of power, he will think that Da Song is easy to bully!" Liu Yilong said with a sneer, but a thought came to his mind. .

Surprised, Wang Tanshou clasped his hands and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Liu Yilong immediately said: "Find someone to assassinate him, even if you can't kill him, you must scare him!"

These two young emperors were doomed to be life and death enemies all their lives, neither would obey the other, and would kill each other as soon as possible.

Wang Tanshou thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "If you want to find an assassin to assassinate Tuoba Tao, I recommend someone!"

"who?"

"There is a disciple in Weichen's mansion, who is skilled in swordsmanship and proficient in assassination. This person's name is Lu Xuanbo!"

······

For Zhao Junsheng, going to greet him this time is not his business at all. He followed other officials and rode horses in the middle of the welcome team, letting the horses go forward, while he kept his eyes closed on the horseback. Carrying internal force, two ears do not hear external affairs.

In the past two months, he has diligently cultivated his internal strength every day, and he has grown a lot. The dantian and meridians in his body have been significantly broadened, the increase of internal strength to physical strength has also been significantly enhanced, and the control of strength is also more subtle. Endurance has obvious effects increase.

At dusk, the army arrived at Gexiang Post, which was the farthest post in the northwest of Liang County, less than two miles away from the border.

There was no rest along the way that day. When they arrived at Gexiang Post, all the soldiers in the army were still full of energy, but the weak officials couldn't bear it, and they were all tired and hungry.

Wan Dugui ordered the army to set up camp around the Gexiang post, and called Zhao Junsheng over and said, "Zhao Canjun, after your rectification, all the posts along the way have been greatly improved this time, and only this house has been repaired. You don't get much, so it deserves a reward! At least when the emperor drives to Suiyang, the post stations along the way won't embarrass Liang County!"

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed in salute: "Thank you, General, for your praise. This is a subordinate's internal matter, and it is not worth mentioning!"

Wan Dugui was very satisfied with Zhao Junsheng's attitude, and ordered: "This Gexiang station is your site, you go and let the post station and postmen prepare meals for the officials, the sergeants don't need to worry about it, they have their own cooks to make fire and cook meals !"

"Preparing meals and lodging is of course no problem, but general, look at the sign that says, pay first before staying in the hotel to eat! Look, who will pay for the food expenses of the officials?" Zhao Junsheng agreed, but pointed at the door Sign asked.

Wan Dugui frowned and said: "This time it's a welcome, it's a big event! Officials have to pay for a few meals or just one night here?"

Seeing the displeasure on Wan Dugui's face, Zhao Junsheng was a little frightened. This ancient law has no power to work. It is just a matter of one sentence for a superior to punish his subordinates, and he doesn't make any sense. Besides, Wan Dugui is a general, so Like those civil servants who have to find a reason for their actions, this master simply wants to kill and beat people because he is unhappy.

"Well, no wonder it is said in the play that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and it's not safe to be with a general!" Zhao Junsheng slandered in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and stick to the principles, otherwise everything he had done before would be in vain, and he surrendered He said: "No matter who comes to the inn to stay and eat, you have to charge money. You agree with this rule! If we break the rules ourselves, wouldn't we slap ourselves in the face? Don't say that you and all the county officials are here Here, even if His Majesty the emperor comes here to stay and eat, the post station still has to charge money, unless the general withdraws his subordinates!"

The muscles on Wan Dugui's face twitched, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Master Liu

Bo, give me money! "

Chapter 81 Money, money, money!

Mr. Liu asked someone to bring a gold cake. Of course, Zhao Junsheng would not pick it up by himself. He raised his chin to Jiang Yanyao, the postmaster who was bending over and standing tremblingly by the side.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Jiang Yanyao stepped forward to take the gold cake with both hands to express his thanks, and immediately turned around and approached the post station for the postmen to clean up the house, prepare meals, wine and meat.

Taking advantage of the dark and free time before eating, the officials including Wan Dugui exercised their muscles inside and outside the post station to relieve the fatigue from the long journey on horseback all day.

At this time, a fast horse came galloping from the northern road. The soldiers who set up roadblocks on the road to resist the horses quickly removed the roadblocks after seeing the approaching people, and let the knights rush to the gate of the post station.

Zhao Junsheng was nearby at this time, and saw that the knight turned out to be Zhao Ting, a general of a hundred men. Zhao Ting jumped off his horse and bowed to Wan Dugui on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "General, a cavalry force came ten miles from the north. There are about a thousand people, and the leading general calls himself Tuoba Lang, the leading general of Huben!"

Wan Dugui heard the words and said: "It's him? It seems that this is the striker sent by His Majesty. Hey, this Tuobalang has always looked down on the soldiers and horses in the outer town, we can't let him look down on him. Come here, order the soldiers to speed up Set up the camp speed, and after a cup of tea time, line up on both sides of the road!"

"Obey!" The herald immediately went to convey the order to all the troops.

After Zhao Ting finished his report, he got up and took the water bag from the side of the horse's belly and walked to the shade of a tree to drink water and enjoy the coolness. "

Zhao Ting was startled by the sudden voice. He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Junsheng. He knew that he had rushed into the officialdom and was not familiar with many things in the officialdom. One part is Suwei Army, which is divided into Habayashi and Huben according to the name of the Han Dynasty. Boss!"

"The Huben army is in charge of guards, traveling, chariots and horses. Tuoba Lang led his troops here. So Tuoba Lang is here to serve as an outpost. The emperor's imperial driver should not be far from here?" Zhao Junsheng said.

Zhao Ting nodded and said in a low voice, "It should be about the same!"

Not long after the army in Suiyang town assembled and lined up, a troop of soldiers and horses appeared in the distance. The clang of metal.

When he got closer, Zhao Junsheng, who was standing in the ranks of officials, found that the soldiers of the Huben Army were in good spirits and had high morale.

The generals of the Suiyang town army had already received Wan Dugui's order, and they all cheered up, raising their aura as high as they could, and they must not be compared by the Huben army.

It can be seen that the idea of ​​"Wu Wu No. [-]" is deeply rooted in the minds of the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In Zhao Junsheng's opinion, the Huben army's equipment is really good. Every piece is definitely high-end and well-made, while the Suiyang Zhen army's equipment is rough and unruly.

Zhao Junsheng whispered to Zhao Ting who was beside him: "Brother, look at the armor on them, it's much more beautiful than yours, it's stylish and shiny, it can be used as a mirror!"

Zhao Ting said disdainfully: "You don't understand, the armor they wear is just for show, it's not useful, and even the armor can be cut in half with a knife, although the one we wear is ugly, But it is so thick that it can pop the blade out of the gap!"

Tuoba Lang, who led the soldiers, was a bearded man with a bloated figure, but he looked very burly in armor, but the handsome armor and his rough appearance seemed a bit nondescript, in Zhao Junsheng's eyes Come on, the little boys should look good in armor like this.

As soon as Tuoba Lang and his Huben army stopped, Wan Dugui stepped forward, obviously familiar with him, and said sarcastically, "Tuoba Lang, I knew you liked to pretend and didn't want to lose face, you see Is it interesting for you to let these boys pretend to be serious? After all, appearances are appearances, and they cannot be put on the stage!"

Tuoba Lang jumped down just now, when he heard this, he was furious and said: "Wan

Du Gui, your mouth is still so bad, you look down on the Huben Jianer under my command, and I also look down on the miscellaneous beards under your command!There is a kind of you and I to pull people out to practice? "

Wan Dugui was not to be outdone: "Practice as long as you practice, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

A civil servant came down from Tuoba Lang's side, and this person hurriedly dissuaded him: "Hey, why are you two generals doing this? They pinch you as soon as they meet. How many years have you pinched? It's alright, alright, you all calm down for a while. , let’s discuss and finalize the meeting, and our family has to rush back to report to His Majesty!”

Wan Dugui and Tuoba Lang snorted coldly, and the flags and drums died down, Wan Dugui invited Tuoba Lang and this person to go to the post station to rest and discuss matters of welcoming the driver.

Zhao Junsheng whispered to Zhao Ting: "The voice is weird, eunuch?"

"Well, I heard it is Zong Tai, the eunuch who is close to the emperor!"

The Huben Army began to set up camp, just across from the Suiyang Town Army. The two army camps were separated by a road, and the farmland next to them was occupied by them. A large piece of newly sown seeds was wasted, but the owners of these fields No compensation will be awarded.

The dinner was neither rich nor delicious. It would be wishful thinking to expect the post soldiers at the post station to cook delicious food, and the overall culinary skills of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not be compared with that of later generations.

As one of the main officials accompanying him, Zhao Junsheng was fortunate enough to get a piece of cooked meat, two dishes of boiled vegetables, a mantou (baozi) and a steamed cake (mantou), while the officials' followers could only eat big Pot dishes and steamed cakes.

Speaking of the food of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhao Junsheng is also very helpless. There are too few styles and cooking methods. Most of the dishes are cooked and there is no stir-frying. Soup cakes and so on are the main ones. Rice is rarely eaten in the Central Plains, but rice is mostly eaten in the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.

There are too few houses in the post station, and they are all occupied by those high-ranking officials. Officials like Zhao Junsheng can only get a small camp outside the post station, and their followers have to live together.

There were many mosquitoes at night, Zhao Junsheng and his entourage, Han Gan, were just about to close their tents and go to sleep, when a voice came from outside: "Zhao Canjun, General Wan wants to see you!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to get up again and go into the post station to meet Wan Dugui.

In the lobby, Wan Dugui, Tuoba Lang, and eunuch Zong Tai were sitting, Zhao Junsheng stepped forward to salute the three of them: "I have seen the general, what orders does the general have for summoning his subordinates?"

Wan Dugui said: "I will discuss with General Tuoba and Zong Gonggong. Yujia's itinerary is like this. At about Shenshi tomorrow afternoon, Yujia and his accompanying ministers, palace personnel, and entourage staff will arrive at Gexiang Station. If you want to camp here, you must prepare meals for the army, soldiers, horses and all the accompanying personnel. Continue to set off in the morning of the next day, and camp at Liangzhuang post in the afternoon. Except for His Majesty, all the soldiers, officials, entourage, and palace personnel will eat and drink. You are in charge of the arrangements, and all the cooks in the town's garrison will be dispatched by you. This general doesn't care what you do, as long as everyone is well fed!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a bitter face: "General, this subordinate cannot do this job!"

Wan Dugui lost face in front of Tuoba Lang and Zong Tai, his expression was very bad, and he asked: "Aren't you good at getting things done in the yamen? Aren't you good at making trouble? Why can't this matter be done? "
