Chapter 36: Young Shi Jun
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Who is this Golden Sword King?" ”
Yue Yang said: "This golden knife king is called Wang Shan, occupies Jinding Taihang Mountain, and his subordinates claim to have 100,000 horses, neither the official army nor the golden soldiers can exterminate him, and all the way to Hebei takes him as the first person in the green forest." ”
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, this Wang Shan he remembered that he appeared in "Saying Yue", but he was exterminated by Yue Fei's brothers on a few horses, and did not set off any storms, but explained in "Yue Fei's Evaluation" that this is the first thief in the north, and later the Liukou Li Cheng, Zhang Yong and others who crisscrossed the Southern Song Dynasty were his subordinates, and he also submitted to Zong Ze with Yue Fei, but later Zong Ze died, Du Chong took office, and despised the green forest general, which forced him to rebel again, and finally under the attack of the Song and Jin armies, he gradually perished. Although Zong Ze is still staying in Tokyo, Zhao Gou is also in Tokyo, and he is acting in a constrained manner, so he is afraid that he will no longer be able to recruit Wang Shan at will.
Ma Kuo would come over and say to Zhao Zhen: "King, if we have a few people now, if we are good at that king, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with." ”
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Go to the city, let's see the situation." ”
This Wenda also brought people and horses over, after a few people discussed, left Wenda outside to dismantle the camp built again, and transported it to the city, Ma Kuo and Yue Yang each led a thousand soldiers into the city in two ways, and Zhao Zhen brought five hundred horses to supervise the grain and grass here.
But after a while, a small colonel reported that the city had been roughly searched, and there were no enemies, so he invited Zhao Zhen into the city, so Zhao Zhen let people pass the news to Wenda, and he took five hundred cavalry and carried the grain and grass cart into Weinan.
As soon as he entered the county seat, Zhao Zhen couldn't help frowning, the situation here was almost the same as the outside, the houses were burned and destroyed, the county government and everything became white ground, only a few adobe houses could be seen, most of the people were scattered on the street, and they looked at the military horses entering the city with dull eyes, there was no difference between them and the dead, Zhao Zhen then understood why Zhang Yong and they were all on the arrow tower, it turned out that there were no people living in the city.
A child was standing in front of a half-collapsed earthen house, holding a black whirring thing in his hand and gnawing hard, Zhao Zhen's war horse stopped in front of him, slowly dismounted, walked over, and stood in front of the child.
The child took a few steps back like a wolf, and his two little hands protected the food in his hands, looking at Zhao Zhen with fierce eyes, Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to him; "Little one, you show me what you eat, and I'll exchange it with you."
The child looked at Zhao Zhen with distrustful eyes, Zhao Zhen touched his body, but couldn't find anything that could be exchanged with the child, a guard behind him saw it, and hurriedly took out a small piece of dry food from his pocket and sent it over, Zhao Zhen shook it towards the child, the child's eyes were green, and he hurriedly ran over, grabbed the dry food and stuffed it into his mouth, Zhao Zhenxian didn't understand why he was like this, but immediately heard the change, and saw that the people around him leaned over like a wolf smelling blood, and couldn't help but change his face.
Ma Kuo happened to come over, and when he saw those people leaning over, he said coldly: "Go forward again, and kill them all!" ~ As he spoke, his soldiers immediately raised their weapons, and when those people saw the bright sword, they couldn't help but feel a little afraid, and they stood there still.
Zhao Zhen picked up the food left by the child on the ground, only to feel cold and hard, he tried it twice, but he didn't pinch it open, and when he took it to the bottom of his nose and smelled it, a foul smell rushed up, making Zhao Zhen almost spit it out, and hurriedly threw it away.
The child looked at Zhao Zhen carefully, and after seeing him throw it away, he came over, stretched out his hand and grabbed it back, and then retreated.
Zhao Zhen frowned, and said, "Is this what you usually eat?" ”
The child didn't speak, so Zhao Zhen said, "You answer well, I still have something for you." ”
Only then did the child say: "This is lost under the arrow tower, and I just picked it up." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't Zhang Yong care about you in the city?" ”
The boy said indignantly, "They just have to feed themselves." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help shaking his head, so he said to Ma Kuo: "Take our military rations, but give them a porridge." ”
Ma Kuo leaned to Zhao Zhen's side and whispered: "We only have half a month's military rations, or those merchants were forced to get it in Wuqiu Town, looking at the situation in Hebei, I'm afraid it's not much better than Weinan, if we give up the porridge, then our military rations will be insufficient." ”
Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's give it up." ”
Ma Kuo didn't say anything more, so he agreed, Zhao Zhen turned around and walked towards his horse, only to get to the horse, and then turned back to the child and said, "You follow the general just now, there is porridge for you to drink." ”
The child's eyes rolled, and he ran over to Zhao Zhen and shouted, "Shall I follow you?" ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing with me?" ”
The child said, "You are their king, I have heard it, and if you have porridge to drink with him, then follow you, and you will have that kind of dry food to eat." ”
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "I think you have read a little book, then you tell me, where are you from, what is your name, what are your abilities, if you say it well, I will take you in." ”
The child said happily: "Don't lie to me when you speak!" ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't lie." ”
"My name is Shi Jun, I am from Weinan County, my father originally opened a grocery store in this city, those golden people came over, and burned my house, my three mothers were killed by them, my father asked for money and didn't want to die, holding on to the silver, and was beaten to death by them...... Speaking of this, he paused and said: "I often go with my uncle in the four towns and eight towns, I am familiar with the boundary south of Hebei East Road, and I am a well-informed person, and I also know some about the situation of Hebei and Hebei Road." ”
Zhao Zhen listened to this child's words, and couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, he remembered that in "Yue Fei's Evaluation", he mentioned by the way that the "Battle of Caishi" was called Shi Jun when he broke into the Jin Bingshui camp with a knife and set fire to it, and the age here is right, and I don't know if it is this child, and I heard that he knows more about Hebei, and he is even more satisfied, and said: "I am lacking such a geographical master." Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to hug Shi Jun, flew on the horse, and said, "Okay, you can follow me." ”
Zhao Zhen let the horse walk on his own, Ma Kuo led the way in front, and took Zhao Zhen to their temporary camp in the city, and found a place to sit on the ground and said: "King, you rest here first, and you can finish cleaning up in a while." ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "You just have to do things, don't worry about me." Then he said to the soldiers behind him: "Who has food on them?" His words fell, and he heard a delicate voice like a warbler: "King, slave has some snacks here." But it was Qingyu who came, and both she and Qinghong were arranged by Uncle Zhao to come with the army to take care of Zhao Zhen's daily life.
Zhao Zhen said, "You go and pick up some." ”
The two maids saw that Zhao Zhen was young, handsome, and quite good-natured, so they were all moved by the spring love, and they also knew that they could not become Zhao Zhen's wife, but it was also good to think that they could become the big girl next to Zhao Zhen, so they didn't hang around Zhao Zhen all the time, just hoping that Zhao Zhen could give them a good face, but Zhao Zhen's heart was on military affairs, where could they take care of them, the two girls were idle every day, and they were happy for half a year, and they didn't complain every day. He happily complied, and ran towards the carriage in which the two of them were sitting.
Shi Jun's small eyes rolled and whispered to Zhao Zhen: "King, this girl has taken a fancy to you." ”
Zhao Zhen didn't expect him to come to such a sentence, and couldn't help but say funny: "How can you see it?" ”
Shi Jun smiled proudly: "That little lady looks at you so hot, just like when those girls in our family look at my father." ”
Zhao Zhen laughed when he heard this, so he stroked Shi Jun's head and said, "You are still a child, don't think nonsense." ”
Shi Jun said dissatisfiedly: "Who said that I am a child, my father has arranged a room for me, if it weren't for the golden tartar who made too much trouble, I would have a round house on my birthday in May this year." ”
Zhao Zhen looked at Shi Jun in amazement and said, "You...... At the age of twelve or thirteen, how can I ...... It's so urgent. ”
Shi Jun said proudly: "My father said, my family has five rooms, just me, I want to work hard for my Shi family." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing even more, he only felt that this child was too funny, but Shi Jun was extremely dissatisfied with his laughter, so he muttered in a low voice, but at this time, Qinghong and Qingyu came over with refreshments, and he didn't care about it anymore, grabbed the plate, held it in his arms and ate it.
Qinghong and Qingyu were stunned, and Zhao Zhen looked at Shi Jun with pampering, but didn't let the two of them speak.
Shi Junfeng ate like a cloud, a plate was fine, and he ate it all in a blink of an eye, poured a pot of tea into his mouth, then wiped his mouth, and said, "What do you want to ask, say it." ”
Zhao Zhen said with some surprise: "What do you think I'm going to ask?" ”
Shi Jun said proudly: "I don't know you well, you can invite me to eat, it should be just for me to say that I am more clear about the situation on Hexi Road, I am a husband, and I will repay you with gratitude." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but like this kid even more, so he said: "Okay, then you can tell me what the situation is on the two roads in Hebei." ”
