To the north of the Yellow River, the terrain along the way is very different from the south bank, more than ten miles to the north is the Wangwu Mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, the heavy snow is getting heavier and heavier with the northwest wind, and a team of pedestrians and horses several miles long looms in the wind and snow.

Qin Jin wrapped the fox fur on his body tightly, and the cold wind did not make him feel cold. He was not adapted to many of the food and clothing of this era, and this dress was also among them. In the Tang Dynasty, cotton was still a rare thing, and non-wealthy families could not afford cotton clothes and cotton cloth, so cotton clothes and other extremely common things after the Ming and Qing dynasties were not blessed. In winter, the average family uses silk and linen to fill winter clothes, and if the poor family pastes several layers of mounting paper, it has the right to keep out the cold.

The vast majority of Qin Jin's army used this kind of paper-paste winter clothes to keep out the cold, and he also wore one due to the limited conditions, but he really couldn't survive the biting cold wind. Later, after the army entered the pond, a large number of materials were finally seized, including dozens of fox furs.

"Chang Shijun, at this rate, we won't be able to reach Tongguan in another seven days, so we have to find another way!"

Zheng Xianli came to Qin Jin worriedly. Qin Jin doesn't need to ask to know what these people think, whenever it is difficult to continue at a critical point, the first thing he thinks of is to abandon the people and flee for his life alone, and he also calls it a beautiful name, for the sake of the overall situation and the preservation of strength.

It's not that Qin Jin is hypocritical or sympathetic, it's really that the people are the foundation of this era, if you want to achieve great things, you must get their recognition and support, although reputation can't be used as food, can't be used as money, and there are not a few people who can realize the role of fame, but there are only a handful of people who can really do it.

Although Qin Jin's ability is weak, wherever he goes, he has to take away a place of people. Even if it is not for fame, it is profitable, because population is a wealth that cannot be compared with land and gold and silver in this era.

"Insist on persevering, after the mountain beam in front, the north wind can't blow, the snow will be small, the snow will be small, the road will be easy to walk, it will not take three days, we can arrive at Tongguan safely. ”

Zheng Xianli spread his hands helplessly, looking at Qi Bihe and Wu Hu Huaizhong, he knew that Qin Jin would definitely not follow his advice, these guys did not want to take the people with them, but let him be a gun.

According to the plan of Qin and Jin, 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 people, a total of 40,000 people, crossed the frozen Yellow River from the Dayang Bridge in Shaanxi County, along the north bank, went straight to Fengling Pass, and then crossed the Yellow River from Fengling Pass to the south, and reached Tongguan.

Tongguan is the destination of these 40,000 people, and there will be no more rebel harassment and threats when they arrive at Tongguan. It's just that in addition to the rebels being their enemy, bad weather is also one of the enemies that cannot be ignored.

Along the way, hundreds of people have already died due to heavy snow and cold, but fortunately they still have enough food to feed more than 40,000 people for a month, so that they will not freeze and starve.

After five days of arduous trekking, a team of 40,000 people finally arrived at Fengling Pass, when the Fengling Pass guard heard that Shi Qinjin, the magistrate of Hongnong County, was at this time, he actually rushed out with a large group of people to see the excitement.

Now the name Qin Jin is in Gyeonggi, Dugi and the southern part of Hedong Province, and it can be said that everyone knows it, and no one knows it. The Son of Heaven personally sent an edict to move the history of the magistrate of Hongnong County, and it is not counted, that is, when the news of his death was misreported, the imperial court actually added a nickname for him, the word Wenlie, which is really a rare praise, and how many heroes and famous generals may not be able to have this higher evaluation than this name when they die.

As a result, after the imperial court added the nickname, Qin Wenlie suddenly came back from the dead, making him the first person in the Tang generation to be born and reprimanded. Such a legendary figure, but all officials of all sizes want to see it, and it is proud to be close.

At this time, Qin Jin didn't know that he had become famous in the government and the opposition, and he knew that even Brother Shu was a figure that he was quite afraid of, could it still be a straw bag with a false appearance?

However, there are too many rumors in the court, and there are rumors that Qin Jin offended Bian Lingcheng at the prison gate, and Bian Lingcheng gave him small shoes in front of the emperor and stumbled. However, some people disagree with this view, believing that if Qin Jin's exploits in the Kunshan Fire had not been for Bian Lingcheng, they would have been buried, and this article is enough to prove that there is no contradiction between Bian and Qin.

What's more, it is even rumored that Qin Jin has an affair with the noble daughter of Wei Xianggong's family, and so on, most of the rumors are all hilarious and laughing. But this time, the protagonist of the famous Sanqin Sanchuan suddenly came to the small Fengling Pass, so it is no wonder that the officials rushed to witness it.

The guards of Fengling will be eager, and prepare hot water for Qin Jin and others to relieve fatigue, and wine and meat to drive away the cold. Qin Jin received the kindness one by one, but he couldn't delay much in Fengling Pass. After all, there are more than 40,000 mouths under his hands, and if he delays for one more day, he will have to eat as much food as he wants. He had limited food on hand, so he always had to leave some for future use in the army.

Qin Jin sat down sincerely to explain the situation of the food waste, hoping that the Fengling guards would be able to understand his difficulties.

This made the Fengling guards flattered, you must know that it is rare to treat people with sincerity in the officialdom, especially for a very famous person like Qin Jin, there is no shelf at all, and I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart, if you talk about today's romantic figures, this son is definitely deserved.

"Chang Shijun, the people have almost crossed the river, we should also hit the road!"

Zheng Xianli patted his horse and urged Qin Jin to set off as soon as possible. After hearing this, the Fengling guard stopped talking.

Qin Jin laughed and said, "Brother, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up!"

The Fengling guard said bluntly: "Don't you know, there are rumors in Beijing that the old minister of Geshu is young and humble, and it is not appropriate to skip the rank and be promoted, and the Son of Heaven has changed the king to Rongwangfu Peng." ”

What kind of official is Rong Wangfu Peng, Qin Jin searched in the depths of his memory for a long time before finding the answer. It's just a six-rank minor official in the prince's mansion, and it is really incomparable with the five-rank real power magistrate.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Beijing officials were the best, followed by the local officials, and the most important were the subordinate officials of each prefecture. And for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, the five grades have the nature of carp jumping over the dragon gate, the most basic and obvious difference, where the whole family of officials above the five grades can be exempted from any forced labor. Officials at all levels below the fifth rank were exempt from forced labor, and if they did not want to work personally, they had to buy them with money or fill them as domestic slaves.

Therefore, from the history of the magistrate of Hongnong County to the palace of King Rong, it is regarded as a one-level reduction, and from a five-grade high-ranking official to a six-grade small official, it is another downgrade. For Qin Jin, this is an obvious suppression.

Qin Jin himself knew very little about the doorways here, so he didn't care much about it, even if he was demoted to a sixth-rank official, he was still seven or eight levels higher than the previous nine-rank county court officials. However, Zheng Xianli said angrily: "How can this be reasonable!" He wanted to scold the old thief of Geshu, but because there were outsiders, he couldn't say it easily.

The Fengling Ferry guard opened the conversation box and couldn't keep his mouth shut, and the exchange was shallow but deep.

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Seeing the young Datang official in front of him, he learned the results of ups and downs in an instant, and his complexion did not change for a moment, if it was not for the deep city government, or he was really detached and open-minded, and he didn't care about his rank. Either way, this is an extraordinary trait that ordinary people do not have, and it is even more awe-inspiring.

"Brother Shu's move is intended to suppress, I don't know if you have ever offended him?

Qin Jin was also puzzled, he came to the Tang Dynasty to meet Ge Shuhan without knowing anything, and it was impossible to talk about being offended. Moreover, he had a very good impression of Ge Shuhan and his person, even if this person was later coerced by his subordinates to surrender An Lushan, he still sympathized more than other emotions.

There are not many ancient poems that Qin and Jin can fully recite in their previous lives, and one of them was composed by Ge Shuhan.

"The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night. So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao. ”

The writing is simple and natural, majestic and rude, but it makes Ge Shuhan leave an excellent impression in Qin Jin's heart. He really couldn't think of any reason to grudge with Ge Shuhan,

After thinking about it, I couldn't find the answer, so I simply didn't think about it, I always had to come, and after I arrived in Chang'an, everything would naturally be revealed.

After repeatedly thanking the guards of Fengling Pass, Qin Jin and a dozen followers finally crossed the Yellow River south, and Tongguan, known as the key to the Three Qins, was close at hand.
