"Report ...... The headquarters of the Tang army has entered Haocheng to rest, and its vanguard troops, with a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, will take the lead in the direction of Shouzhou, and it is expected that they can reach Shangjiao at about three o'clock in the hour. ”

"Okay, keep scouting."

"Whoa."

Bai Yanyu stroked his thick beard, looked up at the weather, tightened his neck tightly, buckled his armor, and the cold wind that blew his face like a knife was suddenly blocked out, but it was a little inconvenient to see through the peephole, Bai Yanyu exhaled a hot breath, and his cheeks suddenly became warm and comfortable.

He got up and got on his horse, raised his whip and shouted: "The snow has not melted in this land, and the cold is pouring into the bones, the enemy army will not expect that our army will attack from a distance of 100 miles, so they will cheer up Lao Tzu and fight a beautiful turnaround." ”

The three armies sang loudly, startling the woodtops jackdaws to fly.

"Let's go."

"Let's go."

Twenty miles away from Huoshan City, Jia Yin also began to fly on his horse, raised his sword, and led three hundred cavalry to attack Huoshan City with a bang.

Huoshan is close to the Tang Dynasty, a total of only 100 miles away, after the Huya battalion successfully captured the Tang Dynasty, Qin Yue and Chen Scar combined, simply let the Flying Tiger ride away Huoshan, can capture the best, can not be captured first deterrence.

The horse team formed a long dragon on the winding mountain road, roaring and galloping.

Some people saw it from afar, and immediately screamed, "The army is coming......

Jiayin ignored these people, and only cared about riding his horse and galloping towards Huoshan County.

The twenty-mile horse team galloped at full speed and arrived soon, but when they saw the people outside the city panicking and scurrying like headless flies, the alarm bell at the head of the city rang for a long time.

And what is surprising is that the gates of the city are wide open, and there are no soldiers on duty at the head of the city.

Jia Yin and Hua Gun glanced at each other, Hua Gun raised the spear in his hand, and said, "I'm first." ”

The heavy armored iron horseman followed closely through the doorway, and Jia Yin's heart was relaxed, and he rode forward, followed by two hundred light horsemen.

rushed directly to the county office, and knew that the county order had sneaked away as early as last night, and the guard general saw that the county order had run away, and he also fled with his own guards.

The Flying Tiger cavalry occupied Huoshan City bloodlessly.

The smooth Jiayin couldn't believe it, and on the one hand, he let the flower gun be in charge of the city defense and collect the garrison equipment, and on the other hand, he asked Qi Sanduo to bring people to shout to the people, and asked Qiu Dian, who was on duty in the county office, to arrange for the officials to invite the old squire in the city to come to discuss the matter.

Although it is said that it is to catch ducks and put them on the shelves, after the experience accumulated by the two cities of Huoqiu and Shengtang, these affairs are handled in an orderly manner.

However, after an hour, the city gradually stabilized, and more than a dozen representatives of the squires also came to the yamen with trepidation, but they saw a young general talking to an old official, with a kind attitude.

The squires looked at each other, and at last the prince was highly respectful and took the lead in paying respects:

"The grass people didn't know that the king was coming, so they couldn't meet them from afar, and asked the general to forgive them."

Jia Yin hurriedly returned the salute and said, "I didn't know it in advance, if you disturb it, please ask Haihan."

Our department is the Huya Battalion in front of the Great Zhou Palace, it is the Son of Heaven Guard, and the military discipline is like that, please rest assured that the villagers and elders do not dare to say that there is no crime in the autumn, but our army has eight laws, and robbery and rape will never happen. ”

The prince was overjoyed and said: "The general is so benevolent and righteous, the people are very fortunate, and the people of Huoshan have thanked him." ”

"Okay, come on, come on, everyone sit, please come, just for two things, one is to ask you to help pacify the people, and the other is that our army has just arrived, and there are some affairs, please help and assist."

"Yes, yes, it's my duty to appease the people, I'll go back and arrange the labor army,"

Seeing that the squires were all very good, Jia Yin thought that this would save a lot of tongues, so he said: "In this way, there is a lot of work - Zhao Yan, you bring a few brothers to help run errands." ”

"No."

The squires retired, and this Zhao Yan was originally the more clever person in Jiayin's personal guard, and he also took a few brothers to follow, and Jiayin went down to receive the treasury and granary under the guidance of Qiu Dian.

The Qiu warden is a local, whether Zhou Bing comes or not, he does his duty tightly, and only looks at the treasury and granary, although there are less than three pieces of money in the treasury, but it always means something.

However, the granary is very well kept, it is said that the local squires are helping to protect it, the granary is lost, no matter which way the army comes, the most losses are the rich families, so it is firmly guarded.

He also said that he should have guarded the four gates to wait for the king, but no one dared to bear the charge of surrender, so he simply opened the city gate.

Jia Yin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, but it's good to have food, money, but it's not too important.

This Qiu warden is a person who will come to things, saying that the king is coming, and tomorrow he should tell the townships and urge the grain and grass.

Jia Yin nodded and said, "Qiu Dianzhi has a heart, you are familiar with it here, you draw up a charter, and I will send someone to assist you." ”

Qiu Dian's smile was like Maitreya Buddha, and he nodded again and again: "It should be, it should be." ”

Jia Yin is no longer stunned when he was a fledgling, he knows that some things have their inevitable existence, and it is impossible to change or veto them at every turn, in Qin Yue's words, controlling a degree is benevolence and righteousness, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

The attitude of the squires was very enthusiastic, whether it was the large pot of mutton soup and white flour cakes carried to the head of the city, or the six tables of noodles lined up in the yamen, or the gift list that the storytelling office had written for a long time and the carload of grain bags that had not been unloaded, they all seriously displayed their enthusiasm to welcome the king.

Jiayin smiled and accepted it one by one.

In the past, Qin Yue was doing these things, but now he can only take the front, and he is not polite, he toasts a bowl at each table, and the winner Zhen Tiansuke cheers and eats the dishes.

Huoshan cuisine is very different from other places, most of the meat is salty and dry, such as wild boar, rabbit meat, turtle dove, etc., all like to be pickled and dried and then put in the pot, which has a unique flavor.

There is also a mutton soup made of air-dried mutton, a clear soup soup, a few garlic leaves floating on it, held in a small pot, placed on the small red mud stove, forced by the fiery charcoal fire, bubbling hot.

This sheep soup smelled peculiar at first, Jiayin's face was tender, and he couldn't stand the squire's enthusiastic recommendation, so he took the soup served by Wang Fuzi and tried to drink it, yi! The salty aroma is strong, and I tried to eat a piece of purple-red mutton, and a different burnt flavor suddenly melted on the tip of my tongue.

Jiayin ate another piece and couldn't help but praise: "Okay." ”

When Mr. Wang heard this praise, he was happier than saying that he wrote well, and he stroked his beard and laughed: "I am used to drinking this soup, which shows that General A has a relationship with my Huoshan."

The folk customs here are simple, every household is diligent and thrifty, the game from the mountains, the domestic pigs and sheep, are reluctant to eat on weekdays, only the distinguished guests come, the party takes the pot from the beam, and over time, it cures this unique flavor.

Come on, come on, try this dish again, fried shredded pork with thatched roots. ”

Jia Yin saw that the shredded meat was mixed with fat white and tender grass roots, and tried to eat it with a chopstick, which was slightly sour and sweet, very appetizing, and put a chopstick, mixed with the shredded meat and put it in his mouth, the meat was fragrant and the sweet and sour of the grass root was juicy, very refreshing.

couldn't help but give a thumbs up again and said, "I also have this grassroots in my hometown, but I just chewed two sticks when I was thirsty, but I never thought that I could eat it as a dish, and it was so good." ”

A group of squires laughed, Wang Fuzi said: "In addition to radish and cabbage in winter, there are no fruits and vegetables, I thought of bringing it to make a share, but I didn't expect it to be really the taste of General A, then the old man will rest assured, tonight, tomorrow the old man will set up a family banquet, please General A taste my Huoshan snow cabbage and winter bamboo shoots rolling tofu." ”

Jia Yin wiped his mouth, picked up the wine bowl, and said with a smile: "This Huoshan is really a good place, the tea I drank before is also very sweet, this water and wine is also fragrant, and you folks are even more enthusiastic, you don't need to be a long general and a short general, my surname is Jia Mingyin, the character Yuan Jing, Wang Fuzi, you are full of poems and books at a glance, and you will call my name in the future." ”

Master Wang laughed heartily, and also picked up the wine glass and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will hold it up, please." ”

"Together, please ......"

After drinking this tour wine, the atmosphere is different, and it begins to become relaxed and lively, during the banquet, it is rare to ask some important things about the government of the Great Zhou, these are all things that care about their own lives, and they listen carefully with their ears pricked up.

Jia Yin didn't hide it, and he couldn't make up lies, so he simply started talking about how he became a soldier, telling about the scenes he had experienced, talking about the bolts he felt, and talking about the things he had heard......

But I don't know that this kind of truth can most resonate and trust others, and after a meal, the backbone of these counties are all yearning and looking forward to being officially included in the rule of the Great Zhou.
