Chapter 657: Into the Trap
In terms of Longdu, the military department has already sorted out the Qinglong Army barracks in advance, and the new military camp of the Qinglong Army is located in Yixian County, a small county town on the east side of Longdu City, which is sixty miles away from Longdu City, and can be reached by riding a horse for half a day. The total population of Yixian County is only 30,000 and 5,000 households, but it has to accommodate 20,000 troops, which will indeed make the local people feel pressure. Although the military discipline of the forbidden army is better, it is inevitable that some people have a poor temperament, and even the local people rumor that those soldiers of the Qinglong Army have not seen a woman for two or three years, plus the generalissimo of soldiers and horses Zhang Xiaowu protects the short, it is very likely that some soldiers will rob the people's daughters. This kind of rumor naturally caused many big girls and little daughters-in-law in Yixian County to flee, and some even married their daughters in advance, as if the arrival of the Qinglong Army would definitely harm the people.
The Qinglong Army arrived in Fujishan County first, as the gateway to Longdu Prefecture, the most famous in Fujishan County is Fujiyama Pass, there was indeed a garrison in Fujishan Pass a long time ago, and now there are only sporadic soldiers. Seeing the arrival of the Qinglong Army, the township soldiers of Tengshan County suddenly showed an excited look and longed for it. This is what the imperial army should look like, look at this military might, look at this murderous spirit, look at this equipment, tsk......
Due to the proximity to Yixian, the vanguard of the Qinglong Army has arrived at the Yixian military camp and is being sorted out. Zhang Xiaowu had a lot of affection for Fujishan, so he stayed in Tengshan County, and also visited the old veterinarian Niu, Ma and Yang, but learned that the old veterinarian had died of illness. Zhang Xiaowu came to the former residence of Niu Ma Yang, and saw that this place had been used by others, and lived in a family.
As soon as Zhang Xiaowu inquired, he learned that this family was actually a refugee from the south of Daizhou, and after giving cattle, horses and sheep to the end of their lives, the cattle and horses left the house to them. The family took Zhang Xiaowu to the grave of the cow, horse and sheep, Zhang Xiaowu burned some paper money for the cow, horse and sheep, and said: "In the past, I saw that you were in good health, but I never thought that the world would be unpredictable, but you have been a widow all your life, and it is also a good destination for someone to give you a pension." ”
The man said, "The old man did not suffer much, he had a sudden illness, and it took only four or five days from his illness to his death. ”
Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and was about to leave, when he saw an old Taoist priest riding a bull coming slowly. Zhang Xiaowu remembered that this person was the old Taoist Yuan Fang back then, but he never expected to meet him again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.
Yuan Fang was also overjoyed when he saw Zhang Xiaowu, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, don't come to harm's way, seeing that you are proud of the spring breeze, you should be ready to go high, right?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Hongfu of the Taoist chief, does the Taoist live in Fujishan now?" ”
Yuan Fang looked at him again and said, "I was also passing by, and I was about to travel to the south to say goodbye to my old friend. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Can the Taoist see the limit of the cow doctor? ”
Yuan Fang said with a smile: "If you see through it, if you don't say it, if you don't see it, I said that you are going to Longdu, nine deaths and one life, can you believe it?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "I don't believe it. ”
"yes, who's going to believe it." Yuan Fang laughed, got off the ox, took out a few dried fruits from his sleeve and put them in front of the grave, and then rode away.
Zhang Xiaowu chased after him and asked, "Dao Chief, am I going to really die for a lifetime?" ”
Yuan Fangdao: "There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and if you enjoy the wealth of the world, you will inevitably suffer setbacks in the world." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "That is to say, ......"
Yuan Fang waved his hand and said, "I didn't say anything." He pointed to a star in the northwest wind and said, "Look at that star, it is flickering and dark, and there is a problem." ”
Zhang Xiaowu frowned, and when he looked up again, Yuan Daochang had disappeared.
Wang Yijin came over and said, "My lord, it's getting dark, let's go back to the city." ”
"Okay." Zhang Xiaowu said, "One catty, do you believe in fortune tellers?" ”
Wang Yijin smiled and said: "My lord, the fortune teller once said that my life is not more than twenty-five years old, and I am exactly twenty-five years old this year, do you think I still live well?" Instead of believing in those fortune tellers, it is better to believe in one's own fists. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You are right. ”
Everyone returned to the county seat, rested for the night, and continued to walk, and soon arrived in Yixian. The Qinglong army was stationed for three days to adapt, Zhang Xiaowu inspected the warmth of the soldiers, and found that the military camp was built on the surface of the magnificence, and it began to leak everywhere at night, and the house leaked when the rainy season arrived in the spring. Enraged, he seized the officials of the Ministry of Works who were repairing the barracks and demanded that the barracks be repaired immediately. After dealing with the military, he took his henchmen to Longdu City.
Coming to Longdu City here, Zhang Xiaowu no longer had the sigh and appreciation of the year, he enjoyed the scenery of Longdu City alone, the rows of pavilions, the bustling people, the leisurely children, and the busy life of the coachman.
The person in charge of greeting them was Lou Chungui, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and this Lou Chungui was Dushanbo's enemy and his own nephew. After the death of Dushanbo, Emperor Dade brought the former Sizhou guard general Lou Chungui as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Lou Chungui was serious and strict, and led the troops to discipline strictly, and the Imperial Forest Army quickly recovered its combat effectiveness and military discipline under his governance.
But Lou Chungui was a straightforward person, except for "meeting" and "please", he didn't say anything, and Qi Yuanshan, who was so angry that he was grumpy, almost stepped forward to reason with him.
After everyone passed the outer city, they came to the inner city, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly proposed to go home to see, Lou Chungui thought about it and said, "I'll send the adults home." ”
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly asked, "You didn't participate in the massacre of Yinyi Wei last year, did you?" ”
Lou Chungui smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Xiaowu also smiled and said: "I, as a person, never hold grudges, because I will take revenge with my own hands, you report to him, and the people of the three hundred silver-clothed guards cannot die in vain." I went home and waited for the good news from the right minister, and if he didn't give me an explanation, then I would give him an explanation. ”
Lou Chungui stopped smiling and said, "Generalissimo, do you need this?" ”
"Three hundred!" Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes and stretched out three fingers, shook them, and turned to leave. He followed behind the five thousand cavalry, and also directly turned the horse's head and accompanied him to Jixiangfang.
Lou Chungui sighed and immediately rushed to the imperial city to report to the right minister.
Right Prime Minister Gu Yong was stunned after hearing the news, and said, "He said that? ”
"Yes."
"On the first day, he's going to kill someone?"
"Yes."
"What if I don't hand it over?"
Lou Chungui said: "The two regiments of the Qinglong Army have taken over the defense of the outer city. ”
"When?"
"Just now."
"Why didn't the Outer City Warden tell me?"
"Captured."
"Zhang Xiaowu, how dare you-"
Lou Chungui said: "Right phase, consider it." ”
Gu Yong was angry for a long time before he sighed and said, "I thought he was procrastinating, but I didn't expect him to be as fast as lightning, you go and call General Li." ”
"Yes." Lou Chun returned.
Gu Yong grabbed him again and commanded in a low voice, "Is everything arranged in the palace?" ”
Lou Chungui said: "It has been arranged a long time ago, three hundred Dongying Ronin, three hundred Beiyi warriors, and three hundred black arrows are all hired by Ouyang Hong at a high price in Saibei. ”
Gu Yong's right eyelid jumped a few more times and said, "I'm always worried." ”
Lou Chungui smiled: "He's dead." ”
