Chapter 358: In the past, on Yanmen Road, the frost forced the saddle
The dusk is vast and the distant mountains are filled with smoke.
Yang Lin's honor guard went all the way westward, and finally completed the Qinlong loess road in the lingering autumn rain.
This place is Yanmen, an important town in the northwest. Han Shizhong stationed his troops here. Beyond Yanmen is the Khitan Yingzhou Prefecture.
Next to Yingzhou Prefecture is the Xijing Datong Prefecture of Khitan, which is Yunzhou ceded by Shi Jingtang.
There was the Khitan emperor Yelu Yanxi who fled to the country.
Outside Yanmen, the carriages and horses slowly stopped, and a general ran from a distance. He was tall and tall, with a long torso, wearing armor. He smiled and bowed: "The last general, Han Shizhong, has seen Shao Zai!"
Yang Lin opened the car curtain, stepped off the pedals, punched him and said, "Po Han Wu, have you been gambling excessively recently?"
Han Shizhong shook his head like a rattle, patted his chest and said, "No! Absolutely not. The general is not a person who knows good and evil."
Behind him, Hu Yantong sneered, curled his lips and rolled his eyes at him several times.
Yang Lin was furious, rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "Damn it, I know a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. Come on, catch this naughty man's hands. I will personally capture him and send him to the palace to serve the officials."
"
Han Shizhong hurriedly escaped, begging for mercy while running away, and finally said anxiously: "Young Zai, I have heard that you personally gathered gambling in Jingzhao Mansion, and even reported the money to the official after you won the money. This really only allowed Shao Zai to set fire, not me.
The soldier lights the lamp?"
Everyone burst into laughter and surrounded Yang Lin as they entered the city. It was rare to see a civil servant who was not pretentious and such a big official. He mingled with the generals. The Yanmen guards were all very happy.
Xiongguan is surrounded by dangerous mountains and stands high on Gouzhu Mountain. On the east and west wings, there are undulating mountains. The Great Wall on the ridge is winding and goes east to Pingxing Pass, Zijin Pass, Daoma Pass, and directly to Youyan, connecting with the vast sea; to the west is Xuangangkou.
Ningwuguan, Piantouguan, to the Yellow River.
Therefore, there is a saying that "there are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the first."
Yanmen Pass faces Longling and Yanmen Mountain to the east and Longshan to the west. The two mountains face each other and look like a gate. Wild geese fly between it every year, so it is called Yanmen Pass.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao established Yanmen County here, and the Tang Dynasty established a pass, named Xixie Pass, also known as Yanmen Pass.
Han Shizhong held a banquet to welcome Yang Lin and others. After arriving at their residence, Yang Lin smiled and said that he had brought several family members with him and needed a place to stay.
Han Shizhong snickered and said repeatedly: "The general will finally understand."
Then he saw a soft hum coming from the sedan, and the six maids who were close to Huanxiang opened the curtain and put down the wooden poles for their feet.
These six maids were all brought by Zhe Huanxiang from her natal family, and their names all have the character for pearl: Baozhu, Mingzhu, Huazhu, Lotus Pearl, Ruizhu, Huazhu.
Each one of them is difficult to describe and paint, with pretty appearance, slender figure, pure and pleasant appearance.
A slender jade hand stretched out, and the girls stepped forward to help her. Zhi Huanxiang was dressed in a snow-white silk robe. Her charming melon-seed face was like white jade, her beautiful watery eyes looked full of charm, and her figure was charming.
It's not that she's trying to be coquettish, but she has a naturally charming face, and even when she's angry, she still seems to be seducing.
This woman was favored by a man, and her heart was moved like thunder from the sky stirring up fire in the earth. When she got near Jingzhao Mansion, this girl refused to get out of the car and went home. She wanted to follow Yang Lin to Yanmen. She was completely willing to risk her life.
She had long since abandoned her previous rules and regulations, and didn't pay attention to anything. She only looked at Yang Lin with a pair of eyes as tender as honey.
Yang Lin stepped forward and whispered instructions. Zhe Huanxiang pouted, rolled her eyes and looked at him with unspeakable sadness.
Yang Lin pinched his waist and said with a smile: "Be obedient and go ahead."
"Then you come back early." The voice was gentle and pleasant, and extremely charming.
The guards of the Long Live Battalion took them into their residence.
As soon as Mrs. Yao appeared on the stage, everyone was fascinated and stared at her. On the contrary, Han Shizhong was very calm and coughed lightly and said: "Young Master, the banquet is not here, please come here."——
A group of generals outside had already taken their seats. Han Shizhong sneaked into the inner room with Yang Lin.
The generals had no choice but to wait with their necks stretched out, not knowing what they were going in for.
Yang Lin scolded: "Po Han Wu, I came all the way and didn't even take a few bites of food. You have something important to say and you have to say it at this time."
Han Shizhong blushed, walked to a bookshelf, and pushed the heavy bookcase forward. There was a track in front of the bookcase, and the bookcase slid open silently. The ground was covered with blue bricks, and there was a small hole on the edge of one of them.
The edges are irregular and look like rat scratches.
Han Shizhong stretched out his hand to pull the small hole and lifted it up. It turned out that the green bricks were actually a cover glued together. When he opened it, a small box was exposed underneath. Liu Xiahui took the box to the table, put it down, and opened it.
Come, inside is a thick pile of paper, separated very neatly with bookmarks.
"These are all given to me by Song Jiang, the black guy. I, Han Wu, are not such a person, but Song Jiang is my superior officer, and I must listen to what he says. Give these to the young master."
Yang Lin stretched his head and saw volumes of silk, neatly arranged there.
These silks are classified according to surnames and sorted out clearly. Some are thicker and some are thinner. Looking at the material, some are cowhide rolls and some are silk, you can tell that different people collected these materials.
Zhe, Zhong, Yang, Yao, Qiang
What kind of mess is this? Yang Lin opened it and was shocked to see that so many things were black materials from the Northwest General.
It records one by one the things that the northwest general family did that violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. It is very clear and clear, with time and place.
Yang Lin bared his teeth and smiled and said: "This black guy is really a damn talent. I brought him to the northwest for a year and he has gained so much."
After accepting these "gifts" from Song Jiang as ordered, Yang Lin and Han Shizhong came out together, and the generals began to raise their glasses and toast.
Han Shizhong was sitting at the small table to the left of Yang Lin, and Lu Qian was on the right. After eating less than two mouthfuls, Han Shizhong couldn't wait to ask: "Young Zai is here. The imperial court has entrusted you with such an important task, and asked the Young Zai to promote Shaanxi and Hedong.
Hebei and Yanshan command the troops and horses in the northwest, what do they want?"
Yang Lin laughed and scolded: "You are such a talented person. You know what you are asking. Who doesn't know that I am here just for Youyun's hometown?"
With a crash, the generals at the table began to whisper to each other, their faces shining with a special look.
Youyun's hometown, the old city of Yandi, this cannot be compared with ordinary achievements.
"The reason why I didn't go anywhere and came to Yanmen first is to form an alliance with the Khitan. I will go to Yunzhou in person soon to meet the Lord of Liao."
Han Shizhong waved his hand and said: "Who is the young master? How can I go there in person? Why don't I go there for you?"
"It doesn't matter, it's useless for you to go. Only I can handle such a big thing. The mission of you people is to fight. I will handle all the extra-topic matters that affect the war situation for you properly. These are all
You don't need to worry.
But I’m going to say something ugly ahead of you, just when the drums of war are beating and the swords are clashing, if you can’t win the battle, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
