Wherever the autumn wind passes, the grass is flying.
Autumn in the North comes early and winter sets in quickly. In July, there seem to be signs of early winter.
The horses' hooves were strong, and a group of people and horses, like long snakes, walked on the road. In the middle of the group, flags were flying. In the group were strong soldiers with swords on their backs and arrows on their shoulders.
The team was very bloated, because people were only part of the team. Hundreds of bare-backed horses were marching around the team, and then, on the outside were groups of cavalry.
The team advanced unhurriedly, occupying this rather spacious road to a large extent, but any pedestrians who came and went stayed away.
Li Po, who was riding at the front of the group, raised his hand to brush away the fallen leaves in front of his forehead, squinting his eyes and not showing much energy.
In two days, we walked out of Mayi County and around the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain. Without even taking a good look at the scenery, we plunged into Yanmen's rule.
At this time, Li Po also knew how unreliable his plan to store food was. Not to mention the pack horses behind him, he had brought enough food, pickles, dried meat and other items for these people to eat for more than a month.
.
That is to say, along the road, whenever you encounter post stations or county offices, you can ask for some supplies for military needs.
In other words, there was no need to be hungry at all along the way. Apart from the fact that the marinated jerky tasted better, the one he made before seemed rather silly now.
At this moment, he remembered what Li Wu and others had said to persuade him, but he still complained in his heart. They are a bunch of losers. They don't know how to make it clearer? I have wasted a lot of effort.
Marching is a rather boring thing, and this time of year reminds him of the scene when he returned from the grassland last year.
The weather was also like this. Although we suffered a lot, the walking on the road was quite colorful.
One year has passed, and the world has become two different places. Now he is not only the horse commander of Yunnei Racecourse, but also has a military position, and has more than a hundred people under his command.
Thinking about everything that had happened in the past year, he himself felt as if he was in another world.
When we reach here, we have actually entered Lingqiu County under the jurisdiction of Yanmen County. We draw a diagonal line and go past Lingqiu, which is Feihu Trail, one of the Eight Trails in Taihang. It passes through Feihukou and enters the border of Hebei Province.
It is said that in recent years, a Chi Road has been built in the south from Jinyang to Zhuozhou. If you take that road, it will be very fast.
What a pity, how big of a joke would it be to go from Yunnei Racecourse to Jinyang, and then to Zhuozhou via Jinyang?
While I was thinking, a horse galloped over. Not far away, the knight on the horse hammered his chest and shouted deafeningly, "Report to join the army. Ten miles ahead, Zhao Yun, the magistrate of Lingqiu County, met with General Li and sent him
Some food and grass."
What a good name, Zhao Yun. Li Po was refreshed.
But there seems to be something wrong with a county magistrate waiting on the left side of the road.
He waved the scouts over and asked, "How many people does Zhao Yun have with him?"
The scout bent down as much as possible and said, "There seem to be only a dozen or so people."
Li Po hummed and waved his hand, "Since you want to see Commander Li, what do you tell me to do? Go and tell Commander Li."
You know... The scout secretly gritted his teeth. Along the way, this kind of drama has been played out many times.
When Li Juncao was in front, he sent someone to talk to Li Canjun. When Li Canjun was in front, he sent someone to talk to Sergeant Li.
Damn it, you two are having a great time, but who is in charge?
The scout ran away helplessly and aggrieved, while Li Po was thinking, something bad is going to happen, right?
After a while, Li Bi caught up, followed by... well, there was also a pretty boy.
This pretty boy's surname is Han. As soon as he heard this surname, everyone probably understood that he was the youngest son of Hengan Town General Han Jing.
Pretty boy is what Li Po calls his family. In fact, this guy is not fair at all. He is a healthy bronze color. He is tall and handsome. He has a short beard under his chin and looks quite majestic.
Such a second-generation official is uniquely endowed, and it is inevitable that he will be liked by women.
This man smiled heartily and spoke frankly. He was actually a very easy person to get along with. When he was with Li Po, he told Li Po without hesitation that he had married eight wives and his favorite thing was drinking.
Visit a brothel.
If Li Po goes to Heng'an one day, he will definitely accompany Li Po to visit the brothels in Heng'an Town and enjoy the tenderness.
But if you want to say that this man is a drunkard and a loser, you are wrong again.
This man is also good at riding and shooting. He is also famous for his bravery in places like Heng'an Town, and he is deeply favored by Han Jing.
Let's put it this way, this pretty boy is obviously a popular lover, and he has a comprehensive suppressive effect on Li Po. He is a male and can't stand such a person.
When he met Li Bi, the pretty boy immediately forgot about Li Po, his new friend, and immediately posted her.
After that, wherever Li Bi went, this person would follow him. The strong smell of hormones could be smelled by Li Po without even using his nose.
When Li Po saw the two people coming up, he immediately gave up his position to the conjoined twins and ran to the middle of the team to rest his mind.
His back felt a little cold. It must have been Li Bi, a woman who was glaring at him. Staring was useless. It was just trying to attract bees and butterflies. Are you going to fight? It was just a couple going on an outing.
More than ten miles away, it will arrive in an instant.
The team slowly stopped, and after a long time, Li Bi came back angrily.
Without even saying hello, he ordered the whole army to continue marching.
The pretty boy also stayed with him with a blue face. Li Po looked at them not far away and did not dare to disturb them.
It wasn't until night that Li Po learned from Xiao Bailian that the Lingqiu County Magistrate wanted them to keep two hundred war horses.
Li Po was a little shocked. These war horses were going to be escorted to Zhuozhou, Hebei Province. The emperor was staying there. It was almost as if they were for imperial tribute.
How brave is this Lingqiu County magistrate to intercept the war horse?
Xiao Bailian smiled bitterly, and Li Po and Li Po couldn't explain it clearly.
Not only did they want to exchange their armor for war horses, but standing behind them was Yang Changren, the Prime Minister of Yanmen County.
The plan was also very clear. There were not many war horses in Yanmen. In this expedition to Liaodong, Yanmen County also had to send troops, and they also had to transport war horses to the army. After all, Yanmen Racecourse also raised many war horses.
Originally, there was no need to worry about this.
Shi Qianqian of Yunnei Racecourse has always had business dealings with Yanmen, so just say hello to Shi Qianqian.
It happened that just a few months ago, Shi Qianqian died, and Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, went crazy and completely took the power of Mayi into his own hands.
This puts Yanmen County in a bit of a dilemma.
Neither the prefect Wang Que nor the county magistrate Yang Changren were easy to deal with Li Jingke.
This has nothing to do with personal enmity, but the fact that the Daizhou Governor's Office is in Yanmen. The prefect of Yanmen is identified as Yanmen, and the two counties of Mayi are under his rule. He should give orders to Changxing two counties.
But Li Jing disagrees. You, the governor of Yanmen, are not the general manager of Daizhou, so your arms are too long, right?
