Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five Ten Thousand Rides 11
At the crossroads on the official road, four groups of people met unexpectedly, and then left in twos and twos.
Wang Xiongdan, Ma Ping'er and the others bumped into the real owner, so they naturally headed north with Dou Xiaoniang, heading straight to Gaojibo. However, Zhang Shiniang bumped into Su Jingfang, and things got out of hand on the other side, so they wanted to take them with them.
He returned directly to Wu'an County with a reply and a gift... The only person who was a little surprised was Feng Wuyi. After realizing something, he took the initiative to go to Wu'an County to pay a visit to County Governor Li.
Obviously, the emperor's confidants began to change their views on "bandits". At the same time, they remained unmoved in other directions. He was still a person loyal to the Wei court or the emperor's personal life... This encounter made him
Li Ding, the governor of Wu'an County, was a little worried.
The old man wants to go, how can he stop him?
This man was not only a confidant of the emperor, but also the leader of a second- and third-rate family in Hebei. He should not be taken lightly.
However, Zhang Shiniang was a free and easy-going person, but Su Jingfang was a safe person. He slowly arrived in Wucheng County that day, and in the evening, he used the excuse of the other party's inconvenience to ride a horse and sent out a team of cavalry to protect him.
Return to Wu'an so that you can explain to Master in advance.
Old Man Feng was helpless, but he was really not good at riding horses, so he had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
As a result, after driving west for only two or three days, I saw the Red Mountain looming in front of me. After entering Wu'an County, I stayed at the Qiucheng Station beside the road that night, and unexpectedly met two groups of acquaintances from before.
On one side was Su Jingfang, who escorted his wife back to the county government, explained to his master, and then was ordered to return to meet Feng Wuyi. He was a hard worker. On the other side, there were Wang Xiongdan, Ma Ping'er and Dou Xiaoniang, but
He only had three or five riders with him.
It turned out that although Wang Xiongdan and others wanted to escort the family members of the rebels south, considering that Ban County was separated by half of Qinghe County and an entire Pingyuan County, it would be difficult to take hundreds of women and children with them, and these women and children had to go through one more time.
In the cruel winter, there were many injuries and illnesses. Therefore, Wang Xiongdan, who was in charge, simply left most of the materials and manpower in Gaojibo to take care of the situation, and then sent a letter to Ban County while returning to the closer place with Ma Ping'er.
Wu'an County asked for help, hoping that the latter would assist in transporting these women and children in an official capacity.
Moreover, we still have to hope to get a possible reply from Li Ding.
As for Dou Xiaoniang, she is just a teenager at heart. In addition, she has been naturally close to Ma Ping'er since she met a female leader early on, so she couldn't help but follow her with a red headband.
The three parties met in Qiuchengyi. Because of a strange fate before, there was no friction and they even got along quite harmoniously... Su Jingfang showed his kindness as a landlord and treated the other two groups to a meal, each with two taels of wine.
.
"I really didn't expect that Li Silang was said to have learned the art of war from his uncle and had been working in the Ministry of War, but he was actually quite talented in politics." After three rounds of drinking, Feng Wuyi twirled his beard in the lobby of the station with emotion. "
Everyone knows that the past two years in Hebei have been difficult, but I have been traveling all the way. Pingyuan, Wuyang, Qinghe, and all the inns are in ruins. Only the inns in Jijun and Wu'an are in good condition. Jijun is next to Liyangcang, and there is no shortage of supplies.
, and it is the exit from Hebei to Dongdu, so it is naturally appropriate. It is really amazing that Wu'an can do this! "
When Su Jingfang heard the other party praising his mentor, he was naturally excited. For a moment, he was just beaming: "My mentor's talent is hard to find in the world. He can be called a super hero. How can he be a mere county?"
Hearing this disgusting flattery, Feng Wuyi didn't feel any discomfort at all, he just twirled his beard and laughed, while Dou Xiaoniang simply lowered her head and went to eat.
After all, Su Jingfang and Li Ding have a special relationship. They are both teachers and students, princes and officials, and even benefactors and children of vassal families. In this case, saying that Li Ding is Su Jingfang's biological father is a bit too much, but it is also true.
Basically the same.
If you let yourself go, no one will slap you in the face.
"Who said this in the first place, the hero of this world?" Unexpectedly, Wang Xiongdan thought for a while and suddenly asked seriously at the table.
Su Jingfang was slightly startled and actually blushed.
"What's the origin of this statement?" Feng Wuyi took the initiative to ask.
"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Feng." Wang Xiongdan answered seriously. "If I remember correctly, these words should have been praised by the leader of my family, Mr. Li. I am a personal guard and am always by my side, so I must have heard it. However,
There weren't many people present at the time, and it was still in the Eastern Region, but it was a bit strange that it actually spread here."
Feng
Wu Yi instantly realized that, based on the way Zhang Xing, the rebel, interacted with Li Ding, the county governor, and Su Jingfang's reaction, it was most likely Zhang Xing who wrote this statement in the letter, and Li Ding felt so proud that he couldn't bear it.
Just showing off to the people around him... This shows that Li Ding really values the traitor very much.
Having said that, Feng Wuyi had gone through Qian Tang's failed experience and obviously learned a lot. He just pretended not to know and said with a smile: "So, Commander Li's talent and virtue are obvious to all. Your leader is a little bit better."
Taking care of you is also normal."
"That's not necessarily the case." Wang Xiongdan already knew Feng Wuyi's identity, so he just squinted his eyes and continued to sigh. "First of all, my leader really respects Mr. Li, not just looking after him...like me
The memory is correct, "the hero of the world" is just one of the words, it should also be called "Wolong", what else is there, if Li Si doesn't come out, what will happen to the people in the world?
Fighting, Li Dingdu's eight fighting "...all these are countless."
Feng Wuyi almost broke his beard, and Su Jingfang was also dumbfounded... The former was amazed by Zhang Xing's rhetorical methods to win over people's hearts, while the latter realized that these words circulating in the county were all from that Zhang San
Grandpa.
If this is the case, my mentor may not say anything, but he is particularly concerned about Mr. Zhang in his heart.
"Secondly." Wang Xiongdan continued. "The talent of Governor Li is so brilliant, but it is not obvious to all... Longtou once said that Fourth Master Li was in the Eastern Capital and was frustrated. At that time, he was the only one willing to reuse him.
Yes, Yang Shen, who actually wanted to rebel, saw his talent, and the only ones willing to believe in him and respect him were Mrs. Zhang and a mere two or three of my family leaders.
"What's even more deplorable is that the leader of my family, a Tian Han from the north and a martial artist in the army, can easily win over the governor of Wu'an County by showing auspiciousness in the Eastern Expedition, while Fourth Master Li has such a background and talent, but
We have to rely on Jiangdu and Dongdu to fight, and there is internal strife in Guanlong, so that we can take over the position that my family's leader has abandoned like worn out shoes, and stretch it a little... It can be seen that this foolish king is so casual about the affairs of the world? And the Guanlong family is so arrogant.
How far is Heng Wuji?"
Su Jingfang was young after all. After hearing this, although he also noticed that the other party was vaguely complimenting Zhang San in reverse, he felt that he understood a lot of things in an instant, as if the sun had cleared the clouds.
In comparison, who was Feng Wuyi? Of course he knew that the other party's words meant to support the rebels, and he also guessed that he was worried and came here specifically to tease him. But for some reason, he listened to the other party's words.
Telling the story, I actually feel the same way.
The Guanlong clan is arrogant and unscrupulous, so there is no need to say more.
As for the saint, Feng Wuyi is loyal to the saint. However, he has also seen clearly over the years that the saint is focused on the so-called "big" things, but does not care about the details of governance. In personnel matters, he only cares about his position.
, Regardless of talent and virtue... why can't Li Ding's background be used? If others don't know, Feng Wuyi can't guess it?
In all likelihood, it was because of the involvement of the Han family, Li Ding's mother clan.
On the one hand, the saint wanted to achieve great success, unify the world, and establish a great cause, but on the other hand, he also regarded suppressing Guanlong and sorting out the military nobles. The three brothers of the Han family were all generals, and Han Bolong was at the forefront of the nine heroes who founded the Wei Dynasty. Related people, etc.,
Nature is suppressed.
What is regrettable is that this policy not only suppressed outstanding talents like Li Ding in Guanlong for a long time, but also caused resentment. As a result, during the last expedition, because of his all-or-nothing mentality, he made peace with various military-promoting families. The so-called
He fell short of success and even gave up the cause of suppressing the Guanlong military clan.
While Feng Wuyi was thinking endlessly, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded in his ears.
"As the saying goes, chaos comes from above. Unless Cao Che is killed, the world will be difficult to bring peace to. If the pass is not sparse, the world will be difficult to connect!" Wang Xiongdan continued to speak boldly. "Since we are heroes, we should work together as one."
"Bold!" Feng Wuyi jumped up instinctively and glared at him.
However, this attack only frightened Dou Xiaoniang, who was eating her fourth bowl of noodles attentively, and also aroused the anger of Ma Ping'er, who had always been a serious listener: "It's up to you to rely on the old man to talk about things that everyone in the world can judge."
Are you bold?"
Feng Wuyi's hands were trembling. Several of his guards behind him stood up in shock early. However, as if they had received the warning, dozens of knights from Wu'an County also stood up one after another. This caused many people in the post hall to panic for a while, and many people wanted to flee.
Old man Feng returned to Qingming, but managed to sit back under the attention of many people.
, but still angrily retorted on the spot: "Why should everyone in the world be fair?"
"Are the elders from the eight counties in the east not considered to be people in the world, or are the elders from the six counties in Huaixi not considered to be people in the world?" Ma Ping'er also refuted it. "Or maybe here in Hebei, the officers and soldiers killed so many people in the past two years.
The rebels who are fighting one after another and can't stop the death can't be regarded as the people of the world? These people don't even want their lives, they just want to rebel, they just want to kill the tyrant and eliminate the tyrant Wei, what is the public opinion?!"
Feng Wuyi was speechless for a moment, but when Dou Xiaoniang heard this, she nodded heavily in agreement.
"Well said." Wang Xiongdan followed up immediately, speaking clearly. "Under the Three Conquests, every time a million families were destroyed, tens of millions of people were involved. The whole world saw the destruction of tens of millions of families. A tyrant who violently tyrannizes the Wei Dynasty is not
What is the theory of universal justice?"
Su Jingfang sat still and turned a deaf ear. The other guests in the lobby of the nearby inn were all whispering after they reluctantly sat down again.
When Feng Wuyi saw this scene, he was discouraged for a moment: "This is not the two of you arguing with me. I'm afraid it's the rebel Zhang Xing who is arguing with me from afar, right?"
"That is indeed the case, but if the truth is true or false, where does it come from?" Wang Xiongdan was honest. "I have only one thing to tell you. If you think you can win the hearts of the Wei Dynasty in Hebei, it would be ridiculous... If I were you,
Now that I'm back home, I might as well go back to my hometown in Changle and teach people how to read and write, and build a foundation in arithmetic, rather than running around here, working in vain and annoying people."
"There is no such thing." Su Jingfang quickly interjected to reassure. "My mentor specially sent me to greet..."
Feng Wuyi was laughed out of anger.
And with a smile, he also realized, why should he care about a group of young people? It would be fine if Zhang Xing were here, and there would be no harm in arguing with him, but these two young people are just getting rid of the rebels.
It was just a show off, but Su Jingfang was even more of a naughty boy.
The key is to see Li Ding first.
Thinking of this, he simply cupped his hands and went upstairs to rest half-sulked.
When I walked up the stairs, I heard the bustle resumed below. I even heard Su Jingfang curiously asking if Zhang Longtou had any other words of praise for his mentor. He wanted to learn from them...
There was no talk all night, and early the next morning, everyone headed west together. Wu'an County and County Zhiyongnian were actually farther east, and they arrived at Qiuchengyi. However, after another day of hard work, they arrived at the city in the evening.
The extraordinary hero Wolong Li Ding did not meet anyone immediately. Instead, he placed two groups of people in a rather magnificent building in the city, indeed in the famous Black Emperor Temple in Hebei... Under the Red Mountain, if there is no Black Emperor
My Grand View was strange... I slept peacefully for another night, but the next day I came to the Black Emperor Temple in person, and then I went alone to the back hall and side room, and asked Su Jingfang to come and invite two groups of guests in turn.
Of course, Feng Wuyi must be invited first.
The two parties only met in the back hall of the Black Emperor Temple and exchanged greetings. As soon as they sat down, Feng Wuyi, who had learned the lessons from the plains before, got straight to the point: "Master Li Fu, I am here to imitate Zhang Shizhao and become an envoy on a temporary basis..."
At a time when the country is in crisis, the situation in Hebei is even more difficult, but please do not waver in your loyalty and make the situation worse."
On the threshold, Su Jingfang pricked up his ears early.
Unexpectedly, when Li Ding, who had dark circles under his eyes and unkempt beard, heard this, he smiled bitterly in the audience: "Does Mr. Feng think that I will rebel because of my personal relationship with Zhang Xing, so he would not even enter the house and come to warn me?"
"
"I didn't say that." Feng Wuyi shook his head in reply. "As for coming here this time, I just wanted to express my personal feelings. I didn't mean to intimidate or bully anyone."
"Don't worry, Mr. Feng." Li Ding sighed and said seriously. "Within two years, it is unlikely that I will rebel. Even if I rebel, nine times out of ten, it will have nothing to do with Zhang Sanlang or the gang."
Feng Wuyi breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt ridiculous. How could he feel relieved for such a promise?
So, the man continued to laugh and cry, and asked again: "Two years later, Li Fujun is going to rebel?"
"There is no such thing." Li Ding shook his head in reply. "I have never been prepared to do the opposite... But with the current situation, can Dongdu survive for two or three years? Once Dongdu cannot support it, Jiangdu will not be able to support it either."
Wei is basically about to be finished, and the great Wei is finished. When all the heroes come together, the whole country will be considered a rebel. But if you are in the game, you can't help yourself. As a county guard, I have to save the lives of the people of this county and the soldiers under my command.
Responsible."
Feng Wuyi was startled and wanted to refute, but thinking of the argument the day before yesterday, he felt powerless again. Even a few little kids couldn't argue, so why not this one?
So, he just forced himself to ask: "So, if the situation in Wei Dynasty is still good, Commander Li will not take the initiative to join forces with that Zhang San?"
"No." Li Ding replied resolutely. "Feng Gong... In the current situation, I am not afraid of anyone, and there is no one else here. Let me tell you the truth... You guessed the wrong direction. Zhang Xing has arrived in Hebei
, If you want to gain a foothold, you must start from the southeast corner. It will be smooth sailing. How can we get to Wu'an County in two or three years? If Wu'an County and I really want to turn against each other, I'm afraid we will have to start from Taiyuan instead."
Feng Wuyi was stunned on the spot, but after a moment he suddenly understood.
"Feng Gong has been in the imperial court for a long time, so he should know the local military and political traditions, right?" Li Ding explained calmly without changing his expression. "The Red Mountain-Purple Mountain-Heishan Mountains are in a commanding position in Hebei. Therefore, whether it is our dynasty or the Eastern Qi Dynasty,
, the earlier Great Zhou Dynasty was also established, all with Taiyuan as its foundation, and the four counties of Wu'an, Zhaojun, Xiangguo, and Hengshan as its minions, condescendingly controlling Hebei... This is a military system and a political tradition that lasts hundreds of thousands of years.
, it’s more due to geography.”
Feng Wuyi remained silent, but knew that the other party was telling the truth. Under the Wei military system, Taiyuan had great influence on the four counties in Hebei along the mountains. In order to weaken and control Hebei, the Wei Dynasty had always encouraged
So.
The most obvious evidence is that although there is no permanent establishment, there have been frequent temporary requests for these four counties to report military affairs to Taiyuan.
And Taiyuan, Bai Hengqiu...
"Feng Gong." Li Ding continued. "I heard from my student that yesterday you lamented that the people's livelihood in Wu'an was not bad, but do you know why it is not bad?"
Feng Wuyi came back to his senses, but was still confused: "Of course Mr. Li is strict and tolerant in his governance. He is a so-called transcendent hero..."
"That's just a joke." Li Ding replied seriously. "The reason why Wu'an County is safe is just because after I took office, I quickly swept away the rebels...the rebels in the territory. Then I rejected the Hejian army in the name of Taiyuan.
It was just the soldiers and horses from the Youzhou camp and the Youzhou camp. At that time, Yecheng in the south and Taiyuan in the west sent food over at the same time. To be honest, Taiyuan only gave half of what was given by Yecheng, but Taiyuan said that they could use Taiyuan to stay behind.
I absolutely cannot refuse the benefit of isolating Hebei's officers and soldiers from entering and harassing them. That's why I said, Your Excellency has thought too much and has gone astray. What Zhang Xing wants to deal with is the Hejian camp, and the key lies in the Bohai Sea and the plains.
The second one is in Wuyang, Qinghe, Hejian, and Boling, but my side has to swing along Taiyuan. The two families are actually completely unrelated."
Feng Wuyi really had nothing to say. After a long pause, he could only stand up and hand over his hands: "I thought it was wrong. The British Lord is loyal. If you follow him, you will definitely serve the country loyally."
Li Ding just laughed and reluctantly handed over his hand.
Feng Wuyi sighed and left directly. Then, Wang Xiongdan, Ma Ping'er and Dou Xiaoniang, who were waiting outside, entered under the leadership of Su Jingfang.
"I already know your purpose of coming." Regarding these people, Li Ding, who sat back and did not move, was much more straightforward. "I will arrange for a manpower escort. I only asked Xiao Su to lead the entire team of official missions going to Bohai.
Go ahead and let him prepare, and you can leave right away..."
Wang Xiongdan and the other three were overjoyed and wanted to thank him.
Unexpectedly, Li Dingfu waved his hand again and continued: "The time is short. It only takes two or three days. I won't have time to reply to the letter. I will reply slowly in the future and then send someone to deliver it... There is only one important point. I feel irritated. You can do it for me.
Let me tell him that the killing is purely a woman's kindness, and even a bit hypocritical, which is not appropriate at all."
Wang Xiongdan and the other two were startled.
"When did this happen? And where is it?" Li Ding sat there and sneered with dark circles in his eyes. "You still think the world is at peace? And Hebei and the East are the same thing? Counting the Three Expeditions, Hebei will die.
How many thousands of people have been killed? In troubled times, he uses heavy codes to quickly restore order and people's hearts. He kills when he needs to kill, but he always kills, kills, one out of ten turns into one out of thirty, then four out one, two out
Drawing one, will it turn into three and drawing two later? He talks more harshly than anyone else, and he does it one after another, but when he actually does it, he is always formal, as if insisting on drawing will give him an explanation.
Generally speaking, it should be abandoned or thrown away. Such a woman's kindness will only delay the situation. Where can big things be done? Sooner or later, he will have to because
This inexplicable benevolence and loyalty were killed in Hebei!"
Wang Xiongdan was hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything... Because what Li Ding said was actually noticed by many people within the gang. Mr. Zhang's killing looked harsh, but it was consistent with the overall environment.
Bi knew that it was not cruel, but an inexplicable kindness.
It's like a good person's private compromise with the current situation.
"Forget it." After saying this, Li Ding shook his head, as if he was bored. "That's it... you guys have a day off, go back early, and wait for Xiao Su to find you. Don't miss anything. As for the details of the "Six Tao" he wants,
I will try my best to complete it for him."
The three of them did not dare to say anything and could only surrender.
Let's say that the three people complained after listening to it, but after all, it was a matter between two big shots, so it was meaningless. Instead, they were really happy to have received this promise, and now that the matter had been explained.
And sure enough, Su Jingfang was very agile and quickly formed a convoy to find the three of them. Only the next day, he successfully led the team to set off.
But on this day, a shadow cast over the three of them, because the weather was gloomy, the clouds thickened, and the north roared. Someone who knew the geography of Hebei had informed them early that there was likely to be a heavy snow covering the whole of Hebei.
to.
Sure enough, although the group tried their best to speed up, as soon as they left the boundary of Wu'an County, they saw snowflakes rolling down from the sky, getting bigger and denser.
Dou Xiaoniang was worried about the people in Gaojibo, and her face naturally looked ugly. Then she thought that in the whole of Hebei, according to the saying, there were few of them in Wu'an County, and most of them were from Qinghe. She became more and more uneasy, and her face became even more ugly.
Get up, because I don’t know how many people will be as defenseless as the people in Gaojibo, and then countless people will freeze.
"Good snow."
Unexpectedly, just when Dou Xiaoniang broadened her horizons a little and her worries for the people of Hebei continued to grow, Li Ding suddenly smiled in the back hall of the Black Emperor Temple in Wu'an County.
Zhang Shiniang came out from behind, curious: "After it snows and everything freezes, why does Shiro feel happy instead of feeling sad?"
Li Ding was slightly startled, and then smiled bitterly: "I was taught by Zhang Sanlang again... He said in the letter that it is snowing now, and although there is a possibility that people will freeze on the spot and not survive the winter, if it doesn't snow yet, the entire next year will be
There will definitely be drought and locust infestation in Hebei... By then, the entire territory will really be a place of death without burial."
Zhang Shiniang thought for a while and fell into a trance.
