The road from Shanyang to Shenwu was a galloping road built in the Han Dynasty in order to attack the Xiongnu. The hard rammed earth is still taking shape after a hundred years. After the establishment of the Great Sui State, it was renovated to transport military supplies and salaries in preparation for the rising Turks.

Along this road, many beacon patrol shops were arranged, and there were always small groups of Ma Yi Eagle Yang troops stationed. In addition to serving as an early warning, it is to help maintain the road and provide a place for the motorcade to and fro.

In order to prevent the Turks from moving south, and now it seems that they are about to fight with Yundale at any time, these beacon patrols along the way, and the Ma Yi Eagle Raising Army is very vigilant, patrolling day and night, without respite.

It's rare for a heavy rain to turn the ground into a quagmire. Except for small groups that can make it difficult to get through, it is impossible for the large army to move at this time. These local eagle soldiers stationed there finally took a breath, and no one went to duty, or slept under the blankets, or got together to gamble for money, in short, to enjoy this rare leisure time.

There is only one place near the beacon in Shenwu County, and the fire captain who leads the team has a stronger sense of responsibility, and he also takes a few brothers to watch the movement on the road in the shed erected outside the beacon. However, the chief of the fire also sent some people to find some village wine, and made a fire in the shed, and then called a few brothers to open the urn, and there was no need for a wine bowl, but each person had a coconut scoop, but he just scooped and drank in the urn.

While drinking, there were still people whining.

"Now the wine in the village has risen by seven dollars, and this is not the village brew that enters the mother, and what you drink in your mouth is simply gold!"

"Isn't the grain harvested too harshly? In the past, the rent was only eleven, but now the county prince has received fourteen, plus the officials are up and down, and the people around the county prince are not vegetarians, and the harvest of a year, sixty percent of them have gone into the Shanyang warehouse. Wine is made from grain, and now there is no food, how can the price of wine in this village not rise? ”

Some people are worried: "Now the people have no food, and they will have to stop cooking if they can't get winter." The people in the county are in turmoil, and if the Turks take advantage of the situation to go south, what will they do? ”

At that moment, some people laughed at him: "Don't talk about the people, it's the point in the clouds, the grain is not still in the hands of the county prince!" The grain in Lianyun has not yet been sent out, whether the people of a county are hungry or not, where will the county prince care? Don't forget what the county prince is from, and where will you glance down from the corner of your eye? ”

"The Taiyuan royal family, now they want to take the elite soldiers and assets of Ma Yi, go south to fight back to their hometown, and compete with Tang Guogong to win. Our Ma Yi lives and dies, where does the county prince care? But in my opinion, the county lord in the clouds can't eat, so don't think about going south for a day! ”

Seeing that the brethren were getting more and more uncomfortable, the fire captain raised his hand to stop them.

"We are all elected to Shanyang Direct Leader, and there is still a shortage of food among the people in the clouds, and our two meals a day are indispensable, and the salary is also sufficient. What do you do by saying these sour words? Since you have followed the county princess, it is important to do the errand in a down-to-earth manner, and if you talk nonsense, don't drink today, and let me go out to inspect! ”

This urn of wine is a guest invited by the fire chief, and it has always had a bit of prestige. As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped talking, and just drank with their heads bored.

But the fire chief stood up and frowned: "Why is there a noise on the road?" ”

At this time, all the people heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling the mud, and they all stood up and looked away with the fire chief.

I saw a drizzle under the gloomy sky. The two horsemen walked hard in the middle of the road.

Both horsemen wore old military robes, carried identical leather tubes, and had a cyan flag on their backs, which were drenched in the rain, and the flags were motionless against the flagpoles.

The two horses are so embarrassed, and the mount under the crotch is a divine horse, and at first glance it is a good horse from the grassland. In the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi, there are not many such good horses, but in the land of clouds, there are hundreds of such horses.

Needless to say, this is the person from the Hengan Yingyang Mansion in the clouds, who came to deliver the documents.

The two horsemen also saw the horses in the grass hut, and one of them raised his hand to say hello. The fire chief asked loudly, "Do you want to come in and rest?" Feed your mount some fodder and drink hot wine yourself? ”

The people in the upper position of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi regard the Hengan Yingyang Mansion as a revenge. But for the eagle soldiers below, they are all the robes of a county, where is there so much hatred? Not to mention that Heng'an Yingyang Mansion is in front of the Turks, and its reputation is very good in Mayi County. Since he saw it, the fire chief invited him.

One of the horsemen also replied loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!" The military order is important, wait for Shanyang to turn back, and then ask the elder brother for a bowl of wine! ”

The fire chief gave away to the two heralds, and it was counted as a farewell.

Watching the two horsemen walk away in the mud, someone muttered in a low voice: "It must be in a hurry in the clouds, send the horsemen to ask the county prince for winter grain, but it is difficult for me to look at it!" The county prince couldn't wait to swallow that Liu Yingzheng in a mouthful of water! ”

Someone was upset about Heng'an Yingyang Mansion: "These brothers are in front to defend against the Turks. If the county prince wants to go south, just go south, keep Heng'an Yingyang Mansion to protect my Mayi, and if they are hungry, they can be annexed, what kind of reason is this? Up and down the county, the hearts of the people are not convinced! ”

The fire raised his eyebrows, and he was about to get angry. A few people pushed the eagle soldier who was talking nonsense and left: "I'm drunk with this little wine, go back and raise the corpse!" There is not much wine, leave it for us to drink! ”

Before the fire chief could figure out what to do with the guy who didn't have the door on his mouth, he heard the neighing of a horse again.

This time it was loud, but it was the neighing of a dozen horses, and it sounded like a convoy coming.

The fire chief let go of the man who was talking nonsense, raised his head and looked over again, and only muttered, "What's wrong today?" When it's raining, the road is so lively! ”

On the muddy road, three or four carts were coming slowly, each of which was led by a healthy horse, and it was difficult to come in the direction of Shanyang.

Seeing the eagle in the grass hut looking over, the people who drove the car stopped, untied their horses, and turned over on their horses. The leader whistled and spoke loudly.

"Le Langjun was ordered by Liu Yingzheng to take Shenwu, and now Shenwu is in Liu Ying's control! Le Langjun felt that it was disrespectful, so he sent a gift to greet Wang Taishou and apologize. came in a hurry, this gift can only be taken from local materials, a battalion of horses and horses to ride the head, and ask Wang Taishou to check it! ”

Immediately the knight lifted the felt cloth covering the cart, and in the rain there were several carts with hooded heads!

Dropping such a gift, the knight immediately whistled again, and more than a dozen people turned around and turned to the direction of Shenwu.

And in the grass hut, since the fire grows down, these eagles and soldiers are as white as the earth.

Did Liu Wuzhou send troops to Wang Rengong? A big war is about to break out in Mayi County!

The fire chief trembled and ordered: "Lead the horse out and return to the Taishou............ Something big is coming! ”
