1869

On this day, gongs and drums in the imperial city were noisy, and firecrackers rang out.

The emperor's most beloved county lord is about to get married.

The lord of Xianghuang County has just arrived in the cardamom years, she is beautiful, and it is said that she is full of heroism, in a country like the Han Kingdom, she is considered a popular idol, and now she is married to the Great Mongolia Kingdom, which makes countless men in the Han Kingdom whine and mourn, however, considering the construction of the country, many people still recognize this time and the pro.

Because the Great Mongolian Kingdom is located on the grassland, there are many grasslands, so it is rich in horses, their cavalry is unparalleled in the world, every year there will be cavalry in the winter to offend the Great Han Kingdom, and the border people of the Great Han Kingdom are not happy, especially directly facing their Pingliang Mansion, every year the people who die under the cavalry of the Great Mongolian Kingdom have to be thousands, and this time the peace is not a manifestation of the Great Han Kingdom's weakness, in fact, the national strength of the Great Han Kingdom is absolutely stronger than the Great Mongolian Kingdom, but on the grassland, the power of the cavalry charge is too strong, And the Han country does not have many large grasslands, the war horses are very limited, the history of the Han country has several expeditions to the Great Mongolian country, but they have suffered heavy losses, and this time the harmony, known as the first step to create history.

The lord of Xianghuang County married far away to the Great Mongolian Kingdom and will become the queen of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.

The king of Dameng Kingdom had a queen before, but he died later, so Liu Wu took advantage of this time to put forward the idea of harmony, plus some secret operations, such as bribery of high-ranking officials of Dameng Kingdom, so it contributed to this peace.

Harmony is very beneficial to both countries, the most direct is that the relationship between the two countries has been strengthened and consolidated, the Han Kingdom needs to have an intermediary, can build a trade bridge between the two countries of the Great Mongolian State and the Great Han Kingdom, therefore, the task of the county lord of Xianghuang is very severe and arduous, the night before the wedding, Liu Wu specially went to the palace of the county lord of Xianghuang County, and said a lot of things to the county lord of Xianghuang.

Only a few people know these words, but many people can guess that they must have something to do with strengthening relations between the two countries.

In ancient times, women were actually bargaining chips for many transactions, even at the level of the county lord of Xianghuang, but the county lord of Xianghuang did not feel sad because of this, because she knew that on the boundary line, the man who kissed her would take her away and fly away.

She had already made a fine cloak out of the bearskin she had hunted a few days earlier, and he was afraid of the cold, and this cloak was just enough to keep him warm.

After a series of royal ceremonies, the procession responsible for the send-off leaves the palace.

The people along the road gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement, but the county lord of Xianghuang sat in the huge phoenix chariot and couldn't see anything, only the team that sent off his relatives was very huge.

This time, the commander of the Guards named Su Donglai was in charge, and the entire team of sending relatives had more than 3,000 soldiers, as well as maids who accompanied the marriage, and there were two or three thousand people such as the grandmother who was in charge of the insider, and the total number was close to seven thousand, and Zhao Chunliang was among the seven thousand.

Because Zhao Chunliang is now a petty official from the seventh grade, so he brought an extra seven-year-old meridian, and no one will say anything.

"If you go north this way, you will pass through Jeju first, and then you will go back first." Zhao Chunliang rode a horse, wrapped in a padded jacket, and said solemnly to Ziwu.

"Why can't I go along?" Ziwu asked suspiciously.

"It's a long journey, there are too many people in the team to send off relatives, and the speed of progress is naturally not fast, it will take nearly a month for a one-way trip, you still obediently go back to the town and wait, and wait for me to go back to find you." Zhao Chunliang said.

"Then I won't be able to see Brother Chunliang for a long time!" Ziwu said angrily.

"You just take advantage of the time to read more of the books I found for you, and you won't be able to do anything if you don't read them, understand?" Zhao Chunliang said.

"Uh-huh, understood!" Ziwu nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Chunliang, when you come back, you will test me again, and I will definitely not let you down." ”

"Good!" Zhao Chunliang smiled with satisfaction.

The procession soon left the imperial city and then headed north.

The first few days were easy to walk on, as it hasn't rained much lately, so the road is relatively clean.

After Zhao Chunliang's team entered Jeju Mansion, he arranged for a subordinate to send Zimeridian back to Pingyao Town.

Although the official is not very big, Zhao Chunliang still has three or four subordinates to call along the way, as for Master Tianhai, it is even more incredible, there must be at least twenty or thirty people who hug each other, even if they go to the toilet, they have to be surrounded by special people.

This posture is similar to that of modern stars.

All the way north, after passing through Jeju Province, you will arrive at Pyongyang.

Pingliang Province is located in the north, on the one hand is connected to Jeju Province, on the other hand, it is connected to the Great Mongolian Kingdom, which is very critical in geography, but the economy is very backward, on the one hand, because of the old cavalry of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, and on the other hand, it is also because of the lack of products in Pingliang Province.

As the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this Pingliang Mansion is poor, so it breeds several mountain bandits.

The so-called mountain bandits are those bandits who often hijack passers-by and merchants on mountain roads, they occupy the mountains as kings, and when the government does not arrest people, they go to do illegal things, and when the government wants to arrest people, they will hide in the mountains, which is really troublesome.

There are two very large mountain bandits in Pingliang Mansion, the head of one is called Hu Hansan, is an authentic Pingliang Mansion person, he was a monk in his early years, but later violated the monk's rules and precepts, was expelled from the division, and then learned a few kung fu in the temple, he fell into the grass, and the head of the other group is called Zhou Sun, it is said that he is a show talent, he was arrested by the mountain bandits when he entered Beijing to catch the exam, and joined the mountain bandits in order to save his life. Succeeded in becoming the new leader.

These two bandits have thousands of people, they gather together for about three or four hundred miles, respectively occupy two traffic arteries, the government has struck several times, but each time they lose their armor, so to this day, these two bandits are still in this stretch of mountain road for trouble.

"That Hu Hansan is also a good man, only robbing money and not human life, basically anyone who meets Hu Hansan can survive, as for the descendants of that Zhou, it is not authentic, he touched it, it is empty of people and money, the man is okay, it is a big deal, and the woman is even more unlucky, after being insulted in turn, he was killed with a knife if he was lucky, and he was unlucky to stay as a slave, that is really a life and not death!" Zhao Chunliang's subordinate man named Hu Yanping told Zhao Chunliang about the Pingliangfu mountain bandits while walking, this Hu Yanping was born in the Great Mongolian Kingdom and Pingliangfu, grew up in Pingliang Mansion, and was quite familiar with Pingliang Mansion.

"Then do you think we're going to run into bandits?" Zhao Chunliang asked.

"How is this possible, we are a team of six or seven thousand people, even if the two mountain bandits are combined, it is only more than two thousand people, where is the opponent of our well-trained soldiers, they will come to us for trouble when they are stupid." Hu Yanping said.

"That's right." Zhao Chunliang nodded with a smile and looked around.

The entire procession was moving slowly, the well-trained soldiers kept patrolling back and forth, and there were scouts farther ahead, who were in charge of reconnaissance, and it was almost impossible for someone to attack the county lord.

However, in many cases, the more impossible things are more likely to happen, and they often lead to unexpected results when they happen.

Zhao Chunliang was waiting, he didn't believe that the person who had hurt the county lord of Xianghuang would just give up.

The days passed, and on this day, the team of relatives came to a somewhat dangerous pass.

The pass is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is only one path that can be passed.

The scouts had already reconnoitred in advance, and there was no one on the mountain walls on both sides of the path, so the team to send off the relatives was still very safe and walked into this pass.

"Lord Zhao, you have to fight up the spirit of 120,000 points, maybe those gangsters will use some magic and evil magic to hide in this mountain forest, the place where the emperor uses us is here, we have to use our magic power to find out those gangsters, lest they disturb the nobles in the front of Fengyuan." Master Tianhai said arrogantly as he walked.

"This man is really a crow's mouth!" Zhao Chunliang wanted to laugh a little, because on the mountain wall, there were really many people hiding, those people couldn't see with the naked eye, and there seemed to be a formation that hid their figures, but Zhao Chunliang's eyes could see all this clearly, and it was obvious that Master Tianhai couldn't see this, and the reason why he said these words was nothing more than wanting to show off his majesty.

There were probably about 1,800 people hiding in the mountains and forests, and many of them had bows and crossbows in their hands.

Zhao Chunliang didn't open his mouth to remind the others, because he had to find out the person who arranged the formation, obviously, this formation is not something that ordinary people can arrange, especially the formation of the hidden figure, this must be the cultivator guessing that there is such a means, however, the strength of this cultivator is really a little weak, this stealth formation is too simple, as long as those who are hiding have one or two big moves, it is estimated that this formation will be broken.

Surprisingly, though, each of them was very quiet, and none of them moved.

Judging from such literacy, this is not something that ordinary mountain bandits can have, only the army can have such discipline.

Zhao Chunliang suddenly thought that Hu Yanping had told him before that every year to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, a lot of soldiers had to die, some of those soldiers rolled down the cliffs, some were chopped into meat paste, and there must be hundreds of people a year.

"Interesting." The corners of Zhao Chunliang's mouth curled slightly, and he thought of the assassination he encountered in the capital again.

It seems that the court of the Great Han Kingdom is not monolithic.
