Chapter 136 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings
The snow has stopped.
On the official road from Yanchang County to Fushi County, several young people were galloping, leading more than ten mules and horses.
The horses they rode were equipped with wild goose feather knives, and the mules they led were all carrying large packages. Although they were all talented, they were fierce and alert.
Entering Fushi County, not far from Heilong Mountain, they stopped and the leader picked up the packages on the back of the mule one by one, weighing them and listening to the sound.
Some have no sound, some are very light, some are very heavy, and some have the sound of nail plates colliding.
Finally, he picked up three and opened them on the ground. They found a package of firewood, an iron pot, and a tightly wrapped package, which contained a large piece of ice carved out of the river.
They boiled some hot water to warm themselves, and then continued on the road until they reached Heilong Mountain, where they were stopped by the auxiliary soldiers.
"Brother, I'd like to inform you that Gao Yingdeng, who is in charge of the cavalry team at Ningsai Camp, was assigned by King Qianhu of the Yan'an Guards to defect to General Liu to find a way out."
Just as he was talking, two gunshots were heard from Heilong Mountain, which startled several King Qin soldiers who had traveled a long distance and raised their hands to touch their knives. However, they saw that the auxiliary soldiers did not move, and only left the words "Brothers, wait a moment", and then
Run into the mountains to report.
It really only took a moment, when the auxiliary soldiers came back on horseback to tell them to go into the mountain. After walking no more than a hundred steps, they saw several horses galloping from the direction of the mountain. The leader was riding a red-maned horse. Before he got close, he said: "I am Liu Chengzong.
,Is Yang Yanchang still alive?"
This is the first batch of deserters from King Qin's army to arrive at Heilong Mountain.
This group of people arrived much later than Liu Chengzong expected.
Gao Yingdeng and others quickly got off their horses and bowed down: "Gao Yingdeng is at the Ningsai camp, paying homage to General Liu!"
This sentence means to be convinced from the bottom of your heart.
In fact, Gao Yingdeng had known about Liu Chengzong for a long time. Since Lu Cheng's death, the officers and soldiers in the barracks under the second border wall in the north were probably not closed at night except for the permanent garrison. There were not many people who didn't know about Liu Chengzong.
Especially after Li Bei's defeat, Liu Chengzong's name became particularly loud among the frontier troops, and soldiers and low-level officers were very proud of it.
'Look, Liu Chengzong is no longer a servant, but he can still beat all the generals to the ground. You old bastards, be careful. If one day he forces us to rebel, he will be another Liu Chengzong.'
But in the final analysis, this is not admiration for Liu Chengzong himself, but pride in the fact that someone with the same status can make trouble.
Most people's thinking is that if you are on the side of the army, I will also be on the side of the army. You have made such a big name just because you have the opportunity and I can do it.
For a long time, Gao Yingdeng had been thinking this way. It wasn't until he set foot on King Qin's road and embarked on a fantasy journey for Xiao Gao that he threw this idea away.
It all started when he got to know Yan'an Guardsman Qianhu Wang Ziyong. Ever since he got to know this man, Gao Yingdeng found that his old brothers who had fought against the Northerners in several bloody battles at the frontier were becoming fewer and fewer.
Those who stayed behind also began to suggest that he become a deserter.
In fact, Gao Yingdeng didn't connect this matter with Wang Ziyong, that silly big man.
Until he discovered that Yan'an Guard Commander Yang Yanchang did not go with them.
General Zhaoyong was very generous when he reported to Yulin and directly gave General Wu a hundred war horses.
He said that the Yan'an Guards had nothing, and the banner army was not strong enough. The strength was only 500. I was afraid that King Qin would not be able to use it, so he used these 100 horses as military supplies to support General Wu and King Qin.
Old Wu was so happy that he even said in front of the generals during the expedition, how great would it be if you were all like General Yang?
Isn't this nonsense? If everyone wants to be like Yang Yanchang, who can get tens of thousands of horses for you before sending out troops, then you will be so happy that you can use the horses to overwhelm the enemy's formation on the battlefield.
Yang Yanchang's team was at the end, and Wu Zimian assigned him the mission of gathering deserters.
Those with warrants are not counted.
The missing soldiers in Gao Yingdeng's team are all with Yang Yanchang.
Not long after I found it, I fell behind and went to Yang Yanchang again. This is wrong... There is no one who poops and is gone. Is General Yang your toilet?
After walking for a few days, Gao Yingdeng figured it out. The King Qin team in Yansui Town was very childish.
The commander-in-chief Wu Zimian was at the front approving the notes. As long as he paid the money and handed over the horses, he would let the soldiers leave the team. The commander Yang Yanchang intercepted the deserters at the end of the team, and all the deserters who had not approved the notes were captured.
Some ideological education not only strengthened the deserters' will to continue to escape, but also gave them an organization.
As a result, there were fewer and fewer soldiers in each ministry, and Yang Yanchang had more and more people. When the generals of each ministry went to ask for people, Yang Yanchang sent them back with a smile. Not long after he was sent back, the person went to Yang Yanchang again.
This was only discovered later when Gao Yingdeng also wanted to be a deserter.
But what made Gao Yingdeng admire Liu Chengzong the most was not Yang Yanchang, but Wang Ziyong who used these people for him.
But along the way, this group of thieves set up twelve military stations along the way, and there were people to support them wherever they went, until the city of Yan'an was unimpeded.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
He told Liu Chengzong: "On the sixth day of the first lunar month, when we were stationed by the Yellow River, Governor Zhang and General Wu had a quarrel because they were deserters, the weather was cold, and the governor was getting old."
Liu Chengzong led his horse forward. He wanted to return to Xingpingli as soon as possible.
The village is asking tenants to identify and interrogate those Xing Xuan thugs.
If he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will be let go. If he does some bad things, he will be put as a tenant in Liujiazhuang.
If the crime is really heinous, then there is no other choice but to pull him out and chop him down.
But after hearing this, he still stopped and turned to look at Gao Yingden.
Gao Yingdeng nodded: "Governor Zhang was so angry that he was so angry that day."
Liu Chengzong didn’t know whether this should be considered good news or bad news.
Zhang Mengjing, the governor of Yansui, was promoted to Jinshi at the age of 42 and became an official. He rescued disasters and quelled rebellions. He dug out the national jade seal from the Zhang River and managed the local area. He saved 20,000 taels of silver to help the court pay. Last year, he was still
The Great Wall fought three battles with Mongolia, and achieved three victories in three battles.
He served as an official for thirteen terms, and he achieved great results in each term.
Such a person made Wu Zimian so angry that he died on King Qin's road.
Gao Yingdeng felt sad and sighed: "In the imperial edict later, the emperor said that the north of Yansui Town should be guarded against the prisoners and the south should be prepared for the bandits. Lord Zhang does not need to enter the defense, just let Wu Zimian go on his own... Lord Zhang did not receive it." Liu Chengzong turned his head and glanced at Gao Yingdeng.
Why are you talking about this? The more you talk, the more I feel sorry for Zhang Mengjing, but he will want to kill me if he is alive.
Liu Chengzong shook his head, everyone was their master, and he no longer thought about this matter, and said: "As you said, Yang Yanchang did a good job in King Qin's army, so why has no one come to join him?"
There was a scream in the dry woods outside the village, and another heinous person was beheaded.
Gao Yingdeng glanced over there and said: "General Yang is very meticulous in his work. He doesn't want to make Wu Zimian suspicious. He has been waiting for the opportunity to let the deserters go."
"Oh, then he found a good opportunity this time." Liu Chengzong sighed: "I can guess it even if you don't tell me. The commander-in-chief on King Qin Road made the governor so angry that he couldn't even think of letting him run away."
No matter how many calculations you make, they can't compare to the stupid moves.
Who would have thought that the commander-in-chief could make the governor angry to death on Qinwang Road.
Wu Zimian may be a bad guy, but he is not a fool.
He was dawdling, cutting off grain, seizing horses, selling horses and releasing troops. He hadn't left Shaanxi on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Now that Zhang Mengjing was dead, I'm afraid his waist and legs no longer hurt.
To save your head, you have to run to Beijing non-stop.
And he will not let his soldiers escape again.
Yang Yanchang and Liu Chengzong knew this person well. It would be no surprise that he would do anything when he was about to be exposed; but if there was no danger of being exposed, he would not jump out to find excitement on his own.
Maybe Yang Yanchang will really have to go to Beijing to have sex with Donglu.
Although Liu Chengzong did not trust the combat effectiveness of the banner army led by Yang Yanchang, he believed in the combat effectiveness of the Yansui Town border army.
He wiped his face. At this point, no matter how much strength he had, he couldn't use it to Yang Yanchang. He could only pray in his heart that his children and grandchildren would be blessed.
After finishing the affairs in Heilong Mountain, Liu Chengzong took Gao Yingdeng back to Xingzi River.
This management team member who defected from Ningsai was temporarily assigned to the right post to serve as Gao Xian's assistant.
Today, the only ones still stationed at Xingzi River are Gao Xian, Zhong Hu, and Wang Wenxiu.
When Cao Yao went to Yanchuan, Gao Yingdeng was supported all the way by the military station set up by Cao Yao.
Yang Yao went to Ningzhou in Qingyang Prefecture because he thought that was the route that deserters from Guyuan's general Yang Qi would take.
Feng Ruze led his men to Yanzhou in the south, relying on the local Feishanhu to forage there and raise part of the army's rations.
When Yang Yao and Feng Ru come back, it's almost time for them to go to Shanxi.
But before going to Shanxi, there is still something to do.
Liu Chengzong and Jin Pu were talking as they went up the mountain to the gate of Wangzhuang Fort. Liu Chengzong said: "You are under the command of the high post commander and keep an eye on Gao Yingdeng and the others. Before going to Shanxi, you must be careful of the officers and soldiers.
The team is mixed with sand."
"Yes!"
Jin Pu, the commander of the right sentry and left team, saluted and stepped down.
Liu Chengzong raised his head and looked forward. Ren Quan'er was waiting for him at the gate of Wangzhuang Fort.
This guy had fun wearing official robes at first, and after that he only wore military uniforms every time he came here. He even came here on New Year's Eve, but it was all in vain.
Later, when Liu Chengzong heard about it, he realized that this boy had no family, and it would be meaningless to spend the Chinese New Year in Saimensuo.
This incident also made Liu Chengzong regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have taken Ren Quan'er to Zhuantianmao together.
Later, everyone had a good meal at Xingzi River on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After that, Ren Quan'er ran to Xingzi River when he had nothing to do. He came five times in less than a month.
Liu Chengzong saw his changes, and his riding skills improved by leaps and bounds.
"Sir is back!"
Ren Quan'er entered the fort with Liu Chengzong very naturally and said with a smile: "Has the family affairs in Heilongshan been settled?"
"Okay, that man's name is Xing Xuan, and he was killed by one of our own people. Who knew they were so frightened? If I had known, I wouldn't have made such a big battle. I'll just take a few people and shoot him to death with one arrow."<
/p>
After entering the house, Liu Chengzong took off his armor and then asked: "Is there really nothing going on at your gatehouse? You just left the day before yesterday and you are back today."
"It's really nothing. After the New Year, I listened to the superiors and repaired the canal for the people. However, after the canal was repaired in the past few days, I found that it may be useless."
Ren Quan'er shook his head and said: "Sir, you don't have to go to Shanxi. I think the snow last year was useless and the harvest wouldn't be good. It's already February and the river hasn't thawed yet. In another half month, the wheat will freeze to death."<
/p>
Liu Chengzong also discovered that the weather should be getting warmer by now, but there is no sign of it getting warmer yet.
Lin Wei also said that it was so cold that the tips of the wheat leaves turned yellow, and he was busy leading farmers to put firewood and hay stacks in the wheat fields.
If the weather doesn't get warmer in another half month, you will have to cover the mud shell with a layer of dry firewood and a layer of wet firewood in the field, and then light it to make smoke.
I no longer expect a good harvest, I just hope I can avoid freezing to death.
Not even a single snowfall can save Yan'an Prefecture, which will still be in chaos this spring.
Liu Chengzong sighed: "I have to go to Shanxi...Ren Quan'er, I'll leave some money for you, and you can get a few caravans."
This time when he retaken Black Dragon Mountain, Liu Chengzong took away Xing Xuan's small treasury.
There are many treasures such as calligraphy, painting, antiques, etc. The ready-made property includes eight to nine hundred thousand qian tongbao, more than 2,400 taels of silver, and eighty taels of gold.
Calculating the income of almost 4,000 taels of silver, it is more profitable to fence your own family than to fence the landlords.
But Liu Chengzong found that he would not be very happy when he saw these gold and silver.
He is not short of money. Now Xingzihe Wangzhuang is rich with tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even if he has money, he can't spend it.
What he wants are large animals such as horses, mules and donkeys that are useful for long-distance travel, as well as good weapons and armor that can increase combat effectiveness.
For Ren Quan'er, these things can be obtained if he has money; but for him, Liu Chengzong, one or two, one or two is easy to say, but if there are more, he can't get them no matter how much money he has. p>
"Caravan?"
Ren Quan'er stuttered at what he said. He spread his hands and said, "Sir, you think highly of me. You'd better send someone else to build the caravan. If I can't do it, it would be good if I don't let others sell me." p>
Qian Huxin said, I can't even recognize a few words, and I only started to learn arithmetic after I became a hundred households. If you expect me to do business, will you risk the death of the commander?
Unexpectedly, the person who responded to him was Liu Chengzong with a wry smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
You think I want you to go.
Liu Chengzong said: "There is no one left. Chengyun and Song Shouzhen want to follow me into Shanxi; Lin Wei wants to look after Zhuangtian here. Where else can anyone take care of the caravan? But this is so needed. Medicinal materials, iron, and gunpowder. After I leave, I will only need
If you can't break things, go here."
These things are much more attractive to Liu Chengzong than gold and silver, not to mention that they are things that become increasingly difficult to buy as time goes by.
Ren Quan'er thought for a while, slapped the table and said, "Yes, let Yingyuan go!"
Jumping?
Liu Chengzong was confused: "Which leader is this? There is another leader named Yueyue in Yan'an Prefecture?"
Liu Chengzong had already heard about the bad taste of the names given to these leaders. Among them, among their group of good people, there were also a group of people with extremely exaggerated nicknames, let alone others.
"The one who broke into the collapsed sky, the one who was injured in Yan'an Guard, his leg is lame."
Ren Quan'er was talking about Liu Guoneng: "I saw him on the fifteenth day. His legs were not in the way. It's just that when he walks in a hurry, he will jump forward one after another, so he is called jump. Isn't he a scholar?" p>
Liu Chengzong slapped his head and forgot about Liu Guoneng. He was also a scholar, and he was injured and had difficulty moving. He didn't expect that he would be called jumpy by Ren Quan'er.
I really didn’t realize that Ren Quan’er is actually quite good at giving nicknames.
Liu Chengzong could imagine how angry Liu Guoneng would be knowing that he was called this.
He warned: "Don't call him that after I leave, or he will get angry with you."
Ren Quan'er nodded with a smile, and then said: "Sir, let him set up the caravan, and I will help him."
Just when the matter was about to be finalized by the two, someone outside the door urgently shouted: "General, this is a bad thing."
Liu Chengzong frowned and got angry. Why the hell does it happen every time and something happens in the middle of a sentence?
He quickly walked over and opened the door: "What's so bad?"
"In Yanzhou in the south, there is indeed a room for the government and the army. Feishanhu was bewitched by the government and wanted to kill Commander Feng and seize the troops. He was stopped by the commander Chen Qindai. When he escaped, he was beaten to death with a bone by Chen Qindai."
