Chapter 304: A Letter Intentionally Planted Huā

At dusk, when it was time to close the city, several more cars suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Xu Xiǎo's flag bearer put up a canopy and looked into the distance, judging from the wheel corridor of the car, it should be a Lele car. The Lele chariot is the main jiāo tool of the grassland herdsmen, mainly used in the whole tribe when migrating on the grassland, looking for new water sources and pastures, of course, it is also used to carry goods in ordinary times, this kind of cart often appears in Daning City, it is not uncommon.

This kind of car is pulled by a bull, and the speed is not very fast, but the bull has great strength, pulls a lot of things, and has long strength, which is an advantage that horses cannot match. The birch cart is sturdy enough to withstand long-distance bumps, and a shed can be built at any time to shelter from the sun and rain. Whenever the tribe transitioned, the cars would be connected from end to end, moving along the steppe like a long train.

Now, the five or six cars are connected from end to end, lined up in a row, and after the cars turn onto the official road in front of Daning City, they become a line, and they are indeed coming towards Daning City, Xu Jiang waved his hand to stop his subordinates from closing the city. At first glance, this team is from the grassland tribe, but I don't know if it belongs to the tribe of Taining, Fuyu or Duoyanwei.

These men on the grassland are arrogant and untamed, and they are irritable, and they often fight and fight in Daning City because of quarrels or drunkenness, and they are all the best in ten. Now that they have obviously arrived under the city, if you don't even have a cup of tea, if you must close the city, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make trouble under the city, and the soldiers of Daningwei are easily unwilling to clash with these native herdsmen.

The car drove to the city mén, along with the wind, there was a fishy smell wafting from afar, the car was stacked high, all sheepskin, cowhide, a piece of máo skin, one side of the leather there are black, red bloodshot, the other side of the máo skin is also very dirty, máo hair is full of blood and mud, fortunately it is already very cold at this time, there will be no more buzzing flies in the summer between the bumps. These are untreated máo skins that aren't worth a fortune.

Their handicraft skills are very poor, and they can only sell these sheepskins and cowhides at a very low price to the leather merchants in Daning City, and the Han skilled craftsmen in Daning City will then clean and nitrate and deep process, and then cut them into smooth and beautiful leather robes, leather blankets, felt mattresses, and then resell them into the Central Plains, and the price can be increased by more than ten times or even more than twenty times. This has always been the case from ancient times to the present, and the benefits obtained by the producers at the source are far inferior to those obtained by the intermediate producers.

Xu Jiang likes to eat beef and sheep ròu very much, but he hates this fishy and smelly taste, he pinched his nose and stood far away, looking like a gentleman and a distant cook, commanding the reluctant xiǎo soldiers to come forward to inspect and collect the entry tax. The people who came were Fuyuwei's, they had no road guides, these tribesmen's whereabouts were uncertain, and the management was loose, so it was impossible to carry a household registration book in their arms like the residents of Guannei, and be obedient people like sheep, but their cars were carrying the flag of Fuyuwei.

The inspection was very fast, and the carloads of dirty máo skins were actually clear at a glance, and there was nothing to check, and soon they were let into the city, and Xu Jiang couldn't wait to command his subordinates to move the antlers into the city, and closed the heavy city mén. In the streets of the city, several wandering "people" noticed the convoy, as well as the big man sitting in the back of a car.

Dressed in a shabby leather robe, with a máo furry hat on his head, and a cow knife hanging from his bloated waist, tied around his waist with a cowhide rope, he looked like an ordinary herdsman, but his appearance was ......

Although many of the herdsmen were this fat, black, black, red, and red fat-faced man, with a beard like a halberd, this man was slightly different, he resembled a man, a man named Saihazhi. The Shanin faction's people in the city had seen his portrait repeatedly and remembered his appearance, and he was soon targeted by those who had a good heart.

Saihazhi mō took the thing in his arms, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and if he walked further, he would pass through the Daning Wei Ya mén, how could he think of a way to "leave" the thing into the hands of the Daning Wei soldiers without a trace.

Saihazhi is a soldier, since he became a soldier, he dares to fight, he is not afraid of death, he looks rude, but in fact, he is rough and fine, and he has the jīng Ming of the grassland man, so he was promoted step by step by King Yan to the confidant shì guard. But in essence, he is still a steel knife and a passionate man against the enemy, and he has always used force to solve problems.

But Lord Yang Xu told him that the courage of the horseman is actually nothing, a person must have a brain, a person with strength and muscles is always under the control of a person with a brain, Sehazhi feels very reasonable, he thinks that if he wrestles and fights, His Highness must not be his opponent, but what he can do, His Highness can also do, and what His Highness does, he can't do.

So he honestly obeyed the orders of Lord Yang Xu, and used his rusty brain, firmly memorized what the adults told him, and then took advantage of the night to turn over the not very high Daning city wall, and with great effort, found a few herdsmen who could write méng ancient script, and asked them to write a passage according to his dictation according to the instructions of the adults, and then found a Han scholar who did not know the ancient méng script, and asked him to transcribe these fragmentary words into a complete letter.

He was illiterate, but he checked the entire letter word by word against the words on the sheepskin to make sure that it was word for word. Although he was stupid, he was serious enough and patient enough, and finally, on the way to Daning City, he waited for a convoy of wagons, and with a bag of good wine, he got good friends with them, and took their car back to Daning City.

"Brother Unqi, you go to the inn to stay overnight, I'll go get some good wine, and I'll look for you later."

When he saw a xiǎo hotel, Sehazhi finally thought of a way, and the shepherds of Fuyuwei smiled when they heard this, greeted him warmly, and drove away first, while Saihazhi walked towards the xiǎo hotel, he planned to put a bag of wine, and then drink a body of alcohol in the tavern, pretending to be drunk, passing by the envoy of Daningwei, and then "missing" the letter concocted by him.

Sehazhi was very happy, he felt that the proverb "those who sleep with horses will definitely grow fleas" is really too reasonable (similar to the Chinese near Zhu Zhechi), you see, he and Lord Yang Xu have only been together for a few days, and he has learned to use his brain. It's a lot harder to use a brain than to use a knife to cut people, and he believes that if he continues like this, he will become smarter and smarter.

It's a pity that Sehazhi's accidental wisdom fire was not perfectly realized, when he bought a bag of wine, drank three bowls of wine, and deliberately spilled his own wine, and left the tavern with a drunken state, and wanted to run to the mouth of Daning Wei to command the Yamén to cause trouble, several Shaning guards who pretended to be herdsmen blocked him.

There was a punch and kick, and then everyone pulled out their knives.

There is no prefect in Daning City, in this outer city, Daning Wei commands Yamén to be in charge of all aspects of the local military, political and legal department, as soon as he saw someone fighting with a knife, a team of officers and soldiers immediately ran here, those few Shaning shì guards did not expect this Sai Ha Zhi to be so tricky, he couldn't take him, and when he saw the officers and soldiers running, he had to scatter with a bang.

Sehazhi was stunned, and suddenly thought that it would be good to drop the letter like this, so he quickly threw the letter on the ground, put away the knife and fled.

The officers and soldiers originally deliberately slowed down, they knew that it was common for these herdsmen to get drunk and fight and fight in the streets, and it would be a matter if they were scattered, and it would be difficult to deal with them like the people in the Guan, if you catch a person, you will come to the people of the clan to make trouble around the Yamén, and when they see that they are scattered, the xiǎo flag officer who led the team will accept it when he sees it, and he will stand majestically and stop his troops.

And then...... Then he saw a letter on the ground, and the words on the cover were in the ancient language of méng. The ancient herdsmen of Méng were few literate and rarely wrote letters, so they preferred to ride on their horses and run for three days and three nights, rushing to say a word to the person he wanted to see, and the one who used the letter jiāo must be the ancient nobles of Méng, so he picked it up very rarely.

"The fourth brother won another big victory in Yongping, Jiang Yiīn Hou Wu Gao, and Liaodong General Yang Wen were defeated and retreated to Shanhaiguan, and the governor Geng Rong led the remnants of the army to defect to Cao Guogong?"

When Zhu Quan heard Sha Ning tell him the news, his face was very peculiar, as if he was surprised, happy, and seemed to be a little envious and jealous.

Sha Ning bowed his head lightly and emphasized: "In just one and a half days, King Yan commanded 50,000 troops, and rushed to Yongping City non-stop, and in just one and a half days, the 60,000-strong army of Marquis Jiang yīn collapsed, and if he didn't escape quickly, he would be completely annihilated by King Yan." ”

Zhu Quan slowly sat down behind the chair: "There is also Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong's army of 500,000, the winner is ...... We don't know yet. ”

Sha Ning said with a smile: "Your Highness is now saying that the victory or defeat is not yet known?" Originally, you thought that King Yan would be defeated. ”

Zhu Quan glanced at her and sighed softly: "Ning'er, this king can't act carelessly, but if he makes a move, then there is no way out." Fourth Brother...... Of course I hope he wins, and the fourth brother will never be like my unkind nephew and lead us to death, right? I just want to be a prince of peace. Right now, Chen Heng, Liu Zhen, and Zhu Jian regard this king as dead, and the whole of Daning City has become their world, except for this Yanwang Mansion, what else belongs to us, Ning'er, you can't act rashly. ”

Sha Ning also sighed and said, "Your Highness, of course I understand, if you have a good life, do you want you to brazenly raise troops and embark on a desperate road with no return?" I just don't have too much hope for the imperial court, and now that King Yan has won the battle again, this is indeed good news, hopefully...... The court will loosen the rope around our necks because of this......"

As soon as she said this, the white-haired old steward staggered in and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, Daning Wei commanded Zhu Jian to send troops to surround our palace!" ”

Ning Wang Zhu Quan's face changed greatly, he jumped up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Zhu Jian surrounded the lonely palace, why did he come?" ”
