"Lord Wang?"

Hearing Ma Liang mention Wang Ziteng, Zhang Guerrilla was still a little strange. When he entered Beijing, Wang Ziteng was still a hot envoy to the Beijing Camp Festival, that is, he ran to Wang's house with gifts, and all he saw was Wang Ziteng's housekeeper and nephew, and Wang Ziteng really didn't see him.

For Wang Ziteng, Zhang Guerrilla really doesn't know, he only knows that the other party is the emperor's favorite minister, with a good background and high position, and he completely ignores the grassroots like him, who is his housekeeper, and when he sees himself, he also looks like he has a nose facing the sky, not to mention his nephew.

"Hooray's pet?" Ma Liang shook his head and said, "That's the old yellow calendar." In the first half of last year, this Lord Wang was indeed still a favorite of Long Live Lord, but now, he has been transferred to the Nine Provinces Inspection Point, and he has not even found a chance to go out of Beijing to take up his post. ”

Lao Yu snorted and said, "Isn't that good?" It shows that he is favored, and he can't bear him. ”

As the deputy general of Zhang Guerrilla, Lao Yu is also a tempered person. Zhang Guerrilla spent a lot of savings to go to Wang's house, but the gift was accepted, but the matter was not done, and he was afraid that the gift prepared by Zhang Guerrilla was too village. Even Wang Ziteng had been in the Zhenyuan Army, and Lao Yu really didn't have a good impression of him. However, I have a good impression of the Cao family, who gave Zhang Guerrilla a post and gave Zhang Guerrilla a chance to participate in the Flower Festival, and finally was able to raise enough money and food. Of course, he also feels good about Jia Jiu, who helped Zhang Cuifeng, and his initial impression of Jia Yu is also above the level.

Ma Liang didn't know that there was a public case here, but he still carefully explained to Zhang Guerrilla and Lao Yu about the Jia family and the Wang family, and finally said: "The so-called success is also Xiao He defeat Xiao He." At the beginning, Wang Ziteng was the daughter-in-law of the Jia family through his sister. As a result, he received the support of the Jia family and rose to his current position step by step. But he also offended the head of the Jia family because his sister had wronged him, so he fell to the point where he is now......"

Lao Yu snorted. said: "You deserve it!" This is the epitome of ingratitude. ”

Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, and had to smile bitterly: "Not really." But I warn you, don't be fooled by this pardon. He seems to be a good person, but he provokes him, and he doesn't have to do it himself, just his daughter's mouth is enough for a big guy to eat a pot. Now he is very generous, and has taken out a large amount of money to buy food for the big guys. But the people in their family are so cruel that they have to squeeze oil out of the stones! If he doesn't get back well. If he didn't bring back a lot of money and food, but instead spent a lot of money and food, even if he himself said that it was the money for their father and son's life, do you think his family would be willing? Would the old lady of their family be willing? This Jia Yu is a well-known filial son. is very obedient to his unreasonable mother! ”

Zhang Guerrilla was stunned. couldn't help but look at Lao Yu, Lao Yu was also stunned, squatting on the ground without speaking.

The monkey licked and licked the neatly gnawed ribs of the horse, and then took a spear in his hand, and said slowly: "Now they can use you, so they will be polite to you." But if the future is not good, they will sell you in a hurry. Just like Wang Ziteng, he picked up Wang Ziteng. Once Wang Ziteng was disobedient and wanted to fly solo, they ruined Wang Ziteng. This is the Jia family! ”

Lao Yu was silent underground for a long time. Only then did he say: "You also said it just now, it was the daughter of the Wang family who said something that could not be said, which led to the later incidents." What does this have to do with the Jia family? Could it be that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family is the daughter of the Jia family? So you deliberately taught Wang Ziteng's niece badly?! Did the two of them change their parents?! ”

The monkey said: "Although there is no change of family, it is almost the same." Wang Ziteng's wife's maiden family name Shi, although she is not the daughter of the Jia family, is the maiden niece of Mrs. Jia's wife, I heard that the wife of the Wang family was very trustworthy to his aunt before. Have you heard of Jia Shi Wang Xue? The four families of Jinling mentioned in the talisman circulated in Jinling officialdom are these four families, which are the current Jinling Yiba Zhen family, which has only risen in recent years. In the past, there was nothing to do with the Zhen family in Jinling. ”

Ma Liang also said: "Not really." After all, many years have passed since the affairs of Rong Guogong, and now when everyone talks about the Jia family, most people are only talking about the matter of Emperor Gaozu and their Gu family's wife, but they don't know how much benefit their Jia family got during the period of Emperor Gaozu! Don't say anything else, Jin Si Nanmu knows, right? The wood for Long Live did not even have the old Prince Yizhong, who was the crown prince at the beginning, but their Jia family was able to build a house with golden silk nanmu! The wealth of the Jia family is envied by Wang Ziteng when he is most proud! ”

Lao Yu said: "Really fake? ”

The monkey said, "Then is it fake?" The Ministry of Industry and the Cabinet also have the archives of the original Jia's family's golden silk nanmu. I heard that this matter was approved by Emperor Gaozu Zhu! ”

Zhang guerrilla said: "We haven't heard of these things. However, when my daughter came back from the flower festival that day and told me about what happened that day, I realized that it was the daughter of General Jia who helped us to collect so much jewelry and instruct us what to do, so that we could avoid the possibility of being deceived and also let us raise a lot of food and grass in a short period of time. ”

Ma Liang said: "Then you have to be careful. If you want to take it, you must give it first. There is no good thing in this world for no reason. Maybe they are plotting to make you die for them. Moreover, his daughter is only nine years old this year, and she was only eight years old last year. Such a little bit of a big person is so powerful, do you think the adults in their family will be simple? ”

Zhang guerrilla said: "Won't it? ”

Ma Liang said: "At the beginning, the Jia family picked up Wang Ziteng, but who would have thought that Wang Ziteng would dig the corner of the Jia family in a blink of an eye, and pinched the connections and forces that originally belonged to the Jia family in his hands. Otherwise, why do you think this Jia Enhou wants to quit his family? His son and Wang Ziteng's niece and daughter are married, and they have also made a marriage certificate! It was because they found out that Wang Ziteng was going to start a new stove that they did it. You have to be careful, if you throw yourself under their doors, I am afraid that you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life, and even your children and grandchildren will have to die for them. ”

Lao Yu snorted and said, "What is this?" Lao Tzu is just this one hundred and ten catties plus a rotten knife. If they want. Just take it. An Yuanwei is a place, it's good to be able to eat and drink enough, what hope can you hope for? If only they could keep Lao Tzu alive. Let Lao Tzu return to his hometown, even if he is stepped on by them, why not? Such a worry, one day without a day, Lao Tzu has had enough! ”

Ma Liang originally hoped that An Yuanwei's people would be able to pardon Jia Lian's father and son far away, but where did he think that the other party would not enter the oil and salt.

Although they are also from military households, their family backgrounds are much better than An Yuanwei's soldiers. At least, their families are all junior officers, and they have been struggling since childhood. Practice a good martial arts. After a few years in the Chinese army of various armies, he was selected to be the imperial guard. Where can An Yuanwei's people compare their lives?

An Yuanwei's people. Except for a few, most of them were prisoners assigned from all over the country to do hard labor in the army, or thorns in the army, because they offended people and were brought here. It's like this with Zhang Guerrilla. Even a four-rank guerrilla general. Because some people didn't like him, he was brought here. If he has a way and someone to take care of him, why is this?

It can be said that almost all of An Yuanwei's people are cannon fodder abandoned by the army, and no one is an exception.

Therefore, in An Yuanwei, people who think the same as Lao Yu are not one or two. They are all people who have today and no tomorrow, and no one knows when they will die. With Jia Yu, who is willing to spend money to give them something to eat, and is willing to take out his fur fur for them to wear, such a person is worthy of their lives. As for the rest. They don't know and don't want to know.

Lao Yu can forgive Jia Lian, and Jia Lian doesn't know anything about the border pass. After all, they are the masters of the Guogong Mansion, and they have never been out of Beijing since they were children. I have never held anything heavier than a decorative knife. Such sons and brothers, they don't understand the affairs of the border gates, which is understandable. It's good that they don't cause trouble and don't point fingers. They used their horses as food rations for everyone, and even paid for food for everyone, and such overseers could not be found with lanterns.

What makes Lao Yu unforgivable are these imperial guards. Obviously he was selected from the army, but after leaving the army for a few years, he became squeamish. chirped crookedly and said that people are not good at this, that is not good, and they don't look at themselves, but they are just people who go out from the military household.

Compared with Ma Liang and the monkey, it is better to look at Jia Lian and Jia Lian's father and son.

Just as the air inside the tent was getting tighter and tighter, there was another noise in the vat in the center of the tent, and Lao Yu strode out with a knife on his shoulder. In the wind, his orders were heard.

When he went out, Zhang Guerrilla said: "Don't hide it, my daughter told me at the beginning that this red lotus was cultivated by their Jia family, and it took them two generations of thirty or forty years of hard work. In these years, who would spend so much effort for such a thing, and say that it will be sent. Don't say it, when you didn't come, this red lotus can make everyone eat half full for the first time! In this case, it's just a matter of talking about it here, but don't go out and talk about it. Something big is going to happen. ”

Ma Liang sighed and didn't speak, but the monkey sat down and said, "General, our leader doesn't want the big guys to be dragged down by their family." That's right, this General Jia is the first one of the prison guards I have seen and heard of when I am such a monkey grown, and he doesn't toss us soldiers, and even buys food for us to eat. I can't say anything about that. But the problem is, their family also has a brother born with a jade background! Although it is said that General Jia has come out separately, the two brothers still live together, and even that brother is still raised in front of their old lady, and lives in the upper room of the lady of their general's mansion! General, you have to be careful, if you let people know about your relationship with their family, even if the credit is credited to your name in the newspaper, the top will not tolerate it. ”

Zhang Guerrilla sighed and said, "Can you accommodate me now?" It's not that they treat me and our family as a thorn in the flesh! Speaking of which, I'm also angry! In previous years, those who offered auspicious rui were all those old men from the government, what does it have to do with those of us who are soldiers? We can only plant what we are allowed to grow here. If this red lotus is really discovered by us, the final credit is only those of the old masters, those of us, not to mention the soup, even the oil stars can't touch it! Brother thinks, why would I, a dignified fourth-grade guerrilla general, come here to An Yuanwei? It's because I didn't go through the usual channels and gave the credit to those masters of Futai, which provoked people! It's just that I don't regret it. This is a good thing that people have worked hard for two or three generations, and even made an agreement with Emperor Gaozu. Brother, I don't have this face, I take the credit of others! Brother Ma. I know you have good intentions, you know that their Jia family is not very good now, and they don't want me to be implicated by them. But they have been gracious to me. We are kind to An Yuanwei. For this kindness, and for the credit of the red lotus they let out, I also want to keep them safe. ”

Not only is it safe, but it is also necessary to let them return to Beijing alive.

Guerrilla Zhang is a real person, but he is not stupid. There are more people in this world who are eager for quick success, and how many people are willing to spend decades of effort on something that is likely to not see results for a lifetime?

This red lotus is not only auspicious, nor is it just food, it is the life of people under the world! The heart of a king and his servants to the people of the world!

Jia Jiu made a deal with the emperor for Jia Yu. That was the choice Jia Jiu made as a daughter in order to protect her father, but as a courtier, as a Daqi person. Zhang Guerrilla felt that it was necessary for him to explain to the emperor when he met the emperor in the future that this red lotus was actually made by the Jia family and had nothing to do with them.

If you don't know the credit of your subordinates. Zhang guerrilla ruthless. It can still be done, it's just a big deal to compensate somewhere else. But if you want to ignore the credit of Emperor Gaozu, Zhang Guerrilla can't do this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to do it.

It's nothing now, but what if it's a few years from now? Can you really hide it from the world?

This kind of credit is not something that can be received by subordinates, and the only person who can afford this credit now is the late Emperor Gaozu.

Zhang Guerrilla has already thought about it, if he has the opportunity to meet the saint in the future. This matter must be explained clearly in the Jinluan Palace. Being able to climb to the position of a guerrilla general of the fourth rank with his own ability, this guerrilla Zhang has more than just force. He is also a smart man in some things.

After a while, there was a commotion from the north, and after waiting, I saw the adjutant general Lao Yu coming in: "General, another group of barbarians are coming, two of them are dying, and they still have the strength to wait for the brothers to go over and wave their knives, and two of the new brothers did not react and were scratched." ”

When the monkey heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still and ran out immediately.

When the monkey left, he heard Lao Yu continue to report: "There are thirty-one people here, and they are from two different tribes. Thirteen of them had wolf heads tattooed on their chests, and the other eighteen had green oxen tattooed on their chests. ”

When Zhang Guerrilla heard this, he immediately jumped up: "Really? ”

Ma Liang said: "General Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang guerrilla said: "There are more people on the grassland who have wolf heads tattooed on their chests, and even people from small tribes have wolf heads tattooed on them. But the tattoo of the green ox is an obvious sign, because among the eight tribal alliances of the Di people, there is a green cow tribe. And it's only five hundred miles away, which is not very far. ”

When Ma Liang heard this, he was also stunned: "Wait a minute, since it is a tribal alliance, it may also be that some people in the same tribe have a wolf's head and some people have a green ox?" ”

"The reason why we say that there are two tribes, not that they both come from the green cow, is because the wolf's head has a special meaning on the grassland. There is not only the Di people on the grassland, but also many people who can be called and those who are not. What we know, for example, the Qiang, Tu, Xibe, and others who claim to be an independent people, but in fact, no one knows what they are. There is such a people, we also thought that they were a branch of the Di people, and they called themselves the Udin. They especially worship wolves. Most of the people in the steppe worship wolves and deer as gods, and worship both wolves and deer, but only the Udins worship wolves. They fought more fiercely than the Di people, and they were also one of the most cruel horse thieves on the steppe. ”

Lao Yu said: "General Hui, yes, those thirteen people are Udin." They shave the pojiao (a hairstyle in which the hair on the top of the head is shaved and the hair on the sides is braided and coiled on the top of the head), and the belt is also buckled with a belt carved from wolf bone characteristic of the Udin. ”

Zhang guerrilla said: "It looks like we will have a big battle next. I say, where did the ordinary Wrangler get his fierce strength, and still have the strength to cut people when he hangs on a rejection horse! It turned out to be these Udinite spies! Only these horse thieves have this ruthlessness! ”

I heard that it was a Udin, and Zhang Guerrilla couldn't sit still.

These horse thieves come and go like the wind, and no one knows where their base is. The Di people are troublesome because there are many others, but the Udins hate it and hate it. If you fight with the Di people, you can still take a break while fighting, the Udins are not only ruthless in fighting, but also very annoying, and they will never stop if they don't tire people to death.

I hope it won't be the Udinites who come, and I hope these Udinites won't rob the caravan behind.

With such worries, Zhang Guerrilla was in good spirits, and took turns with Ma Liang, Lao Yu, and Monkey to take people to stare at the situation on the snow outside, and jumped up to inspect the slightest disturbance.

Unexpectedly, the next few days came here, all of them were people from small tribes. There are more than twenty or thirty people, and as few as five or six, seven or eight people. With such a number, when An Yuanwei is now, he can naturally only deliver food. Originally, Zhang Guerrilla was worried that the horse pit would not be usable, but now he found that relying on the rejection of horses and bamboo rafts was enough to resist these small-scale attacks.

The attacks of these small tribes not only did not bring harm to An Yuanwei, but also brought fur furs, scimitars, bows and arrows, and even a few horses to An Yuanwei.

The horses of the Di people are much better than the horses of Daqi. These horses, put in the horse market of Jingshi, the price is at least 30% higher than Daqi's own horses!

Because of the many victories, the fear in the hearts of the hundred former imperial guards slowly and little by little subsided. After the fear subsided, what came to mind was the contempt for the Di people.

I thought it was a great deal, but now it seems that it's just that.

Zhang Guerrilla knew that this mentality was very wrong. But the people were sent by the emperor to protect Jia Yu, and they were not under their own control. Jia Yu, who can restrain them, is obviously a timid and afraid master, and he won't talk much at all.

Zhang Guerrilla could only lead people to guard it himself.

Sure enough, on this day, Zhang Guerrilla got up, and he heard a dull sound coming from the vat in the tent, listening to the movement, it was obvious that a large number of people were coming to An Yuanwei.

Guerrilla Zhang immediately rushed out. And his lieutenant sent someone to inform Ma Liang and the others.

When the monkey heard that a large number of Di people were coming, he didn't believe it: "How is it possible? Didn't you say that before the snow melted, these Di people wouldn't make a big move? How many people can come? ”

It was Ma Liang, who kicked the monkey after hearing it, and said, "The military order is like a mountain." Since the general has an order, where are you allowed to chirp crookedly. Get up, mother, do a job, let's eat and drink spicy food, don't sleep, get up quickly. ”

The monkey muttered, rolled over, and got up. Although the big guys are all huddled together to sleep, their conditions are much better than those soldiers of An Yuanwei. At least they still have tents, and beds.

An Yuanwei's original soldiers didn't have enough tents, let alone beds. They had to sleep and had to take turns into the tents. Then they shrank their heads, leaned against each other, and took a nap. It's a lot better than it used to be. At least now they can still wear furs, whereas before, even their cotton clothes were tattered and breathable.

Ma Liang led the people to the north, only to realize that something was wrong.

In this weather, An Yuanwei's snow should not melt. But the problem is that because there are more people sneaking up, the snow is trampled on solid, and it looks like it has melted.

At a distance of 1,500 feet from An Yuanwei, the cavalry stood on the ground. With so many cavalry, it is obviously not something that one or two small tribes or medium-sized tribes can take.

Ma Liang walked up to Zhang's side and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang guerrilla said: "Damn, big guy! The people of the Blue Cattle Department are here! ”

The Qingniu tribe is one of the eight major tribal alliances of the Di people, enough for 100,000 people. The people of the grassland, men and women, young and old, all the people are soldiers. A tribe of 100,000 people, even if only half of them are out, is very terrible. You know, An Yuanwei is now less than a thousand! Even An Yuanwei is a man with one enemy and ten men up and down, and it is not enough for others to strike a blow.

Jia Yu also came with his son, and when he heard it, he immediately asked, "Qingniu Department?" How many people came? (To be continued......)
