Chapter 566: Coming from Afar is an Enemy (Part I)

On February 15, the winter gradually faded, and the spring was just right, and the people in Qingzhou City who had been bored for a while were finally able to go out of the city to relieve their tired muscles and bones after a whole winter.

Under the careful governance of Sun Tu and Huang Wenbing, Qingzhou has become rich, and the people can not only be fed and clothed, but also have spare money to do something they like, such as taking advantage of this spring breeze, many children put paper kites outside the west gate, laughter, and the sound of slapstick spread endlessly in and out of the city, so that those who heard it also showed a happy smile.

And when a group of soldiers and horses escorted a large cart carefully covered with cloth and did not know what was contained in it slowly came to the city gate along the official road, the people in the vicinity got up and avoided without being ordered, and they looked at the soldiers with deep awe.

This is a courtesy that almost all the armies in the Great Song Dynasty cannot enjoy today, and in this era of civil and military humility, officers and soldiers are the least valued group of people, and it is easy for people to associate them with words such as vulgar and lowly. But in this Qingzhou, it is completely different, in the eyes of the people, they are the patron saints of this city and tens of thousands of people.

Feeling this, the soldiers and horses escorting the goods into the city also straightened their chests one by one, and even their steps were extremely hard, even in the process of marching on weekdays, they actually walked out of the sense of solemnity during the military drill.

Just when this team was about to pass through the city gate hole, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the rear again, but I saw another team coming from the official road, this is also an army, and the armor is bright, the banner is high, but if you look closely, you will find that the formation of this team seems to be very loose, and there is no comparison with the officers and soldiers just now.

However, the two military attachés at the front of this team did not have such thoughts, they were completely showing off their might, and when they saw the city gate in sight, they shouted forward and scolded: "The Qin mission is coming, all the idle people and others will avoid it, and those who dare to stand in the way will be taken down and questioned!" As he spoke, he shook the reins, controlled his horse and rushed to the city gate, waving the horsewhip in his hand and shouting at the officers and soldiers who had stopped slightly because of the shouting: "If you don't exit the door quickly, you dare to block the Qincha road, what are your intentions!" ”

Its arrogant and presumptuous behavior suddenly made the surrounding people a little unbearable, and it was only because the other party had revealed his identity early in the morning that everyone did not dare to speak out, so they could only step aside and look at this Qincha team from nowhere with strange eyes.

The people are like this, and those soldiers who were directly pointed at their noses and scolded were even more suffocated in their hearts, but now that the rules in the army are strict, they don't dare to cause more trouble, so they can only endure their anger first, and then use their eyes to ask their generals for their intentions.

The general who returned with the team today was Yang Zhi, who had just sent the grain and money that Chai Jin said from Chenjiazhuang back to the city. I thought that this was all in Qingzhou City, and there would be no mistakes, but I didn't expect to encounter such an eye-opening arrogant thing, which made him also angry. Immediately put the reins in his pocket, turned to face the guy who was still shouting for the soldiers to exit the city gate, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, you dare to be presumptuous in my Qingzhou!" ”

"Who are you? Didn't you listen to what I just said, the Qincha is here, you can't give way quickly, if you delay the Qincha's trip, can you afford it? Don't say that you are a little Qiu Ba officer, even if Sun Tu saw Qincha, he also had to kowtow! This one still looked arrogant, holding his head high and glancing at Yang Zhi from the corner of his eyes.

"Chincha? Why haven't I heard anyone mention that the imperial court will send Qin to my Qingzhou before...... "Yang Zhi is quite steady, and he didn't get angry when he heard this, but asked with a little doubt.

"Of course, it is impossible for you to know the decision of the imperial court, hurry up and give way, if you dare to rub me again, you will have to order someone to be taken!" Seeing that Yang Zhi didn't dare to make trouble, he was more confident, so he shouted again and again, and the whip in his hand was also waved indiscriminately, as if it might be drawn to Yang Zhi's body at any time.

In the Qincha team, which was still a mile away from the city gate, two officials were watching the farce in the city gate with a smile on their faces, one of them was Lu Qian, and the official next to him was dressed in a vermilion official robe and a silverfish bag hanging from his waist, completely dressed as an important minister of the court.

This group of people is indeed Qincha, and this Zhupao official is the envoy of the Qincha this time, the squire of the Great Song Dynasty Military Department has been opened, and Lu Qian is appointed as his deputy, playing the role of escort and assistance along the way.

Of course, this Qincha team will come because Cai Jing and Gao Yu are behind the scenes. It's just that forcing Sun Tu to send troops to attack Liangshanbo as soon as possible can't make them satisfied, after all, Sun Tu has won too many battles over the years and leveled many thieves, and even they don't dare to guarantee that Sun Tu will really suffer under the hands of Liangshan thieves this time.

If he is really allowed to quell this banditry, it will be a bit of a stone to Cai Jing and them, not only can they not be punished for this, but let him get credit again, so they must do something to drag Sun Tu and the Shandong officials and soldiers back, this Zeng Qincha is the person who wants to play such a role.

He came to Qingzhou not only to issue a decree and look around, but to stay here for a long time to check and balance Sun Tu. Because he has another identity, the military supervisors of Jingdong Road appointed by the imperial court!

Although he is mostly a civilian official, he has the right to interfere in military affairs, and because he has a similar identity as a Qincha, many times the power in the army is still above the main general, so as long as he makes trouble at a critical moment, it is enough to make Sun Tu fall into a predicament in the battle with Liang Shanbo, and even lose the whole battle.

And even better, even if it was really because of his wrong decision-making that led to the defeat of the battle, when the imperial court finally held him responsible, it was definitely Sun Tu, who was the main general, who was responsible for the black pot, and as for the supervising army, he could retire and return to the capital unharmed to continue to be his high-ranking official in the court.

Since ancient times, many military generals have fallen into the hands of this overseer army who is not familiar with military affairs, but can only command blindly, and this time, their target fell on Sun Tu, a young general who has just emerged. This is not only Cai Jinggao's counterattack against Sun Tu, but also the heart of many civil officials in the DPRK and China, because they don't want to see a military general suddenly rise and threaten their own power, especially this man who has not played cards according to the rules and routines, and has made many officials suffer a big loss under him.

When he saw the chaos at the city gate, Zeng Kaiqian smiled even more disdainfully: "It is said that how majestic the Qingzhou army led by Sun Tu is, and how strict the military discipline is, it seems that it is nothing more than this now." It is really unreasonable to not even know how to abide by this rule! ”

"What Zeng Shilang said is very true, it is just a rumor, it is the people in these places who have no knowledge to blow an army like a god, in fact, compared to my forbidden army in Bianjing, they are nothing at all." Lu Qian hurriedly smiled and agreed, this is the only chance for him to make a new career, naturally he has to work hard to please this boss.

To put it mildly, Gao Yu is not too thin for Lu Qian, and he did not abandon him because of his role in the past, but instead found a not too bad errand for him in this matter. As long as he can follow Zeng Kaiqian's side and do things conscientiously, once Sun Tu is eliminated at that time, his credit will naturally not be small, and maybe he will be promoted and get a more decent job in the forbidden army.

But just when the two of them thought they were in control of everything, they stood there talking cool words, waiting for the people inside to withdraw in embarrassment and get out of the way, but the situation suddenly changed-

A shout suddenly sounded from the city gate: "You are so bold, you dare to enter my Qingzhou City!" Come on, take him down for me! With this shout, several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists rushed out of the city, and the thick sticks in their hands roared, and with a few bangs, they knocked the men off their horses, and then they pressed them to the ground.

This one was completely stunned by a few sticks, and after a moment he struggled and said, "What are you doing?" What a bold man, he dared to attack the Qincha Guards......"

"What is bad or not, the Sprinkle family doesn't know anything! The Sprinkle family only knew that the capital prison had already had a strict order, except for the people in our army, the rest of the people were not allowed to enter the city, otherwise they would have to be heavily punished for thirty boards! Come on, give me a heavy blow! As he spoke, a tall and rugged figure had appeared at the gate of the city, and it was Lu Da.

Yang Zhi really didn't expect Luda to come to such a hand, seeing that the guy had been pressed to the ground and screamed by the stick, he was stunned for a moment before he stepped forward and said: "Brother Lu, you are too messy, is there still a team outside?" But let the capital oversee how he can deal with these guys? ”

"Afraid of what? Since they broke the rules first, it is naturally not wrong for the Sprinkle family to act according to the law. And you look at the style of these guys, it's not a good way, as soon as they come, they want to give us a dismount, how can it be so easy! Ruda said, glaring at the Qincha team from afar. He is not really reckless, but it is really because he sees some clues and knows that he must not weaken his own momentum at this time, so he will make such a move.

Sure enough, in this way, they beat Zeng Kaiqian and them stupidly, they thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect that the people in Qingzhou City would be so strong, and they would dare to do it to the people of Qincha for a random reason.

Zeng Kaiqian's face suddenly became gloomy: "Marquis Lu Yu, what do you say this should be?" "This is not eating meat, but a broken tooth.

Lu Qian could only smile bitterly, knowing that only if he stepped forward to stop it, otherwise Qin Cha's face would be lost.
