Chapter 56 As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down

"The son is accompanied by flowers and loses beauty, and the handsome thief is walking on the moon and leaving the fragrance!"

"Brother Xian also heard about the thief handsome incense?"

"Brother Xian laughed, now who doesn't know that the thief Liuxiang stole the Oiran Zhao Yuannu?"

"It's not just Oiran Zhao Yuannu, but also Zhao Yuannu's huge belongings that he has saved over the years, it is said that there are ten big books, which is really a double gain of people and money, and he envy others!"

"Actually, in my opinion, maybe Zhao Yuannu eloped with someone, and then they made up a thief to leave incense to top the bag."

"Brother Xian's speculation has also been put forward by others, and some people have also clearly pointed out that Zhao Yuannu is likely to elope with her good friend Cai Ziyin, but it was later confirmed that Cai Ziyin did not do it."

"How did you confirm that?"

"Three days before Zhao Yuannu's disappearance, Cai Ziyin had already left Bianliang City and returned to Yangwu County to prepare to go to Puzhou to encircle and suppress Song Jiang and his gang, and this matter can be proved by all the people in Yangwu County, it is said that in order to ensure the speed of the march, Cai Ziyin also personally trained the people before the disappearance, and then the army was drawn the day before Zhao Yuannu's disappearance."

"Then is it possible for Cai Ziyin to run back to Bianliang City halfway and take away Zhao Yuannu?"

"It's possible. But as soon as it came, Cai Ziyin's Jin Wuwei arrived in Puzhou in only five days, twice as fast as the stipulated arrival time, and the speed of its march can be seen from this, in this case, how can Cai Ziyin have time to leave halfway? Second, Zhao Yuannu, along with her two maids Jin Zhi Yuye and all her belongings, suddenly disappeared unconsciously, the person who can do such a thing in Bianliang City, except for a thief who is still handsome, must be a powerful person, although Cai Ziyin is the son of Cai Bian and the nephew of Cai Jing, it is obvious that there is no such power. ”

"In this way, it really doesn't look like Cai Ziyin did it."

"Yes, Kaifeng Mansion specially sent someone to Puzhou to investigate, and the result was a trip in vain."

"The people from Kaifeng Mansion went to Puzhou? It's just a courtesan, do you need to work so hard to move the crowd? ”

"Where is Zhao Yuannu an ordinary courtesan, she is Fan Lou's cash cow, how could Fan Lou not go to her, and as we all know, Zhao Yuannu has been fighting with Cai Ziyin recently, Cai Ziyin has been staying in Zhao Yuannu's small building for several days and nights, how can Fan Lou not go to Cai Ziyin to ask?"

"Yes."

"It's a pity that everything is in vain, Cai Ziyin is preparing to fight there, busy to death, how can he have the time and mind to elope with Zhao Yuannu, it is said that I heard that Zhao Yuannu is gone, Cai Ziyin is very sad, and also made a poem - the rain hits the pear blossom and closes the door, forgetting the youth, mistaking the youth. Who is happy to talk about? Ecstasy under the flowers, ecstasy under the moon. Sorrowful gathering eyebrows, thousands of marks, 10,000 marks. Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit. ”

"Cai Ziyin really deserves to be the first literary master of contemporary times, and this poem is really a masterpiece of the world!"

"Yes, in the past, some people said that Zhao Yuannu was not worthy of being as famous as Master Li, but now that this matter comes out, plus this song "One Cut Plum", Zhao Yuannu's name is no longer under Master Li at all."

"What if you are famous, there is no more Zhao Yuannu in the world, only Master Li remains."

“……”

“……”

……

Puzhou, the garrison of the Jinwu Army.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

There was still a short distance from the barracks of the Jinwu Army, and Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others heard a burst of heroic singing.

This made Zeng Xiaoyun, who had been angry all the way, couldn't help but show a smile, and said to Fu Cha and the others on the side: "It's still Cai Ziyin who has momentum here." ”

Fu Cha said: "Cai Zi was born in a famous family, and he abandoned literature and martial arts in order to better serve the imperial court, where are those who are comparable, they only know how to eat and wait for death, full of national moths!" ”

It is not difficult to hear from Fu Cha's words that he is more resentful than Zeng Xiaoyun.

Actually, it's no wonder that Zeng Xiaoyun and Fu Cha are really disappointed with the forbidden army they saw all the way.

You say, it doesn't matter if you don't assemble on the specified date, you don't mention the lack of soldiers, the major generals don't mention it, the soldiers and armor are not in order, the training is insufficient, and the military discipline is lax, and they can endure it, but you have a lot of camp prostitutes in the army, and they are all drunk and loose from top to bottom, is this the army that is going to fight? Are you sure you're not going to die?

Zeng Xiaoyun said: "Fortunately, I still have a general like Cai Ziyin in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger." ”

As they spoke, the group came to the Jinwu Army's station.

Then, Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others wanted to go directly into the garrison of the Jinwu Army.

No, a soldier guarding the door stopped Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others without hesitation.

However, the tone of the soldier guarding the door of the Jinwu Army was very polite, he first gave Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others a military salute that Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others had never seen, and then asked Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others who they were?

Zeng Xiaoyun smiled: "Who do you think we look like? ”

The soldier guarding the door of the Jinwu army replied, "I see that you are like an official master." ”

A person beside Zeng Xiaoyun said: "Since you know that we are the official master, then don't get out of the way!" ”

What Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others didn't expect was that the soldiers guarding the door of the Jinwu Army said without hesitation: "The general of my family said that clothes can be borrowed or stolen, you can't just recognize clothes, you must have something that can prove your identity, just like the official seal of my general, in order to directly enter the camp of my Jinwu army." ”

Fu Cha smiled: "You are a little gatekeeper, and you are still literate? ”

To the surprise of Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others, the soldiers guarding the door of the Jinwu Army actually said: "We are learning literacy, the general personally teaches us, each person must know five words every day, a small test in half a month, a big test in March, if the exam is not passed, you will be punished for running laps, making a mistake, ten laps." ”

"Hizz~"

This time, Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others were all shocked.

"Teach the vulgar military to read, what does this Cai Ziyin want to do?" Everyone thinks so.

At this time, Cai, who had already learned of the arrival of Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others, had already come out of the camp.

Far away, Cai still hugged his fists and said: "I don't know if you adults are coming, you will be guilty." ”

Zeng Xiaoyun was beside a person and said sharply: "You Cai Zi is guilty, and your people actually stopped us all outside your station." ”

He added: "There is also this soldier, he is also guilty, he does not know how to be humble, and he should be punished." ”

didn't want to, but Cai still said: "The adult said that the junior general was guilty, and the junior general admitted it, but the junior general dared to ask, what is the crime of the junior general's soldiers, he just listened to the general's orders and did his duty." ”

The man sneered: "A little soldier, do you know what responsibility is? ”

Cai still said directly to the soldiers guarding the door of the Jinwu Army: "This lord asked if you know what the responsibility is, why don't you answer quickly!" ”

The soldier guarding the gate of the Jinwu Army stood up and said: "The duty is to do what needs to be done well, for example, if I am guarding the gate, I must check the identity of all the people who want to enter the camp of my Jinwu Army, and for example, if I go to the battlefield in the future, I must listen to the general's orders and kill the enemy bravely!" ”

Cai still looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Are you still satisfied with the answer of this adult and the young general's soldiers?" ”

When the man heard this, his face suddenly turned red, he never thought that a lowest-level vulgar soldier would also understand responsibility: "Am I so unlucky?" ”

Zeng Xiaoyun said in a round speech: "Okay, okay, Ziyin, Liang Jianjun is just joking with you, why should you take it seriously, words collide with Liang Jianjun?" ”

As soon as the words "Liang Jianjun" came out, Cai still knew who this annoying guy was.

He is Liang Fangping.

It was Zhao Ji's cronies.

It was that Liang Shicheng's relative.

It was the third eunuch to serve as the commander of the unified army after Tong Guan and Tan Zhi in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

It's the sinners of that nation.

At this time, there were two pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, one was the Pujin Bridge built in the Tang Dynasty, located in Puzhou, Shanxi; The second is the Junzhou Bridge, which was built in the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Junzhou pontoon bridge spans Da Ling, Phoenix and Zijin, and is divided into two sections: the section from Da Ling to Phoenix is called Tiancheng Bridge, which belongs to Junzhou; The section from Phoenix to Zijin is called Rongguang Bridge, and later renamed Shenggong Bridge, which belongs to Huazhou.

The names of these two bridges were given by Zhao Ji.

The Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou has important strategic value, it can be said to be the northern gateway of Tokyo, whether the bridge can be defended, whether it can hold the Yellow River, whether it can be held, is related to the safety of Tokyo, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Before the Jin army went south for the first time, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people in Hebei and Shandong had a hard time, so thieves swarmed, Zhao Ji had ordered Liang Fangping to lead the army to crusade, and Liang Fangping actually succeeded in the crusade, stabilizing the situation in Hebei and Shandong, therefore, the courtiers thought that Liang Fangping also had a certain military command talent.

Therefore, when the Jin army went south, Zhao Huan and others sent Liang Fangping to guard the Yellow River Bridge.

As a result, Liang Fangping, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, did not take the Yellow River Bridge seriously at all, was unaware of the movements of the Jin army, and was unprepared for the surprise attack of the Jin army.

Cai still had heard that Liang Fangping was the supervisor of Song Jiang's gang this time, but he just didn't expect that he would see Liang Fangping at this time.

To be honest, Cai still hates Liang Fangping very much, thinking that he is far worse than Tong Guan, even if it is just better than Tan Zhen.

But then again, the county officials are not as good as the current management, Liang Fangping is a person who can go directly to the heavens, offend him, even if the Jin Wujun can make some contributions in the process of suppressing Song Jiang and his gang this time, there may be waves in the middle.

Speaking of which, Cai is still the current one, and his strength is too weak, and he can't be willful at all.

Therefore, after learning Liang Fangping's identity, Cai still hurriedly got off the slope donkey given by Zeng Xiaoyun, and he arched his hand at Liang Fangping and said, "It turned out to be Liang Observation." ”

didn't want to, Liang Fangping directly "snorted", as if he didn't want to give Cai still face.

Seeing this, Cai still moved his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the young general and Liang Observation are not outsiders, Liang Bingcong is the brother of the young general, and the brother of the young general before the expedition also took the young general to meet Liang Taiwei, and Liang Taiwei also rewarded the young general with a set of armor." ”

Since Cai still moved out Liang Shicheng and Liang Bingcong's father and son, Liang Fangping, who still has to rely on the Liang family, can't help but give Cai still face, and Cai still has the Cai family behind him, and that is not something Liang Fangping can afford.

Therefore, Liang Fangping also pulled back the words and said: "In this way, we are really not outsiders, when we are not busy, find time for us to have a few drinks together." ”

Cai still said: "The young general can't ask for it. ", and then invited Zeng Xiaoyun, Fu Cha and others: "A few adults together, and the young will be the east." ”

Zeng Xiaoyun said: "Don't be invited by you, when we exterminate Song Jiang and the gang, this mansion invites everyone to drink celebratory wine." Then he said, "Ziyin, let's go to your camp and have a look, how about it?" ”

Cai was still busy and said, "A few adults, please come in quickly." ”

As soon as they entered Cai Yi's camp, Zeng Xiaoyun and the others felt that the Jinwu Army was different from other forbidden armies.

The camp is actually the same, the same open space, the same tents, the difference is that the camp of the Jinwu Army is neat and orderly everywhere.

Rambling?

That simply doesn't exist.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Army are extremely disciplined, not to mention the standing and sitting styles, to the shock of Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangcheng, Fu Cha and others, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army are all in three-person rows, and they are outrageous.

Moreover, the spirit of the Jin Wu soldiers is still excellent, optimistic and positive, rather than the dull and numb of other forbidden soldiers.

Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others casually entered a tent.

It turned out that everything in the tent was neatly arranged, the quilts were folded into tofu blocks, lunch boxes, kettles and other items were also neatly arranged, and the "Interim Regulations on Internal Affairs of the Jinwu Army" and "Interim Regulations on Personal Hygiene" and other rules and regulations were hung in each tent.

Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others watched and discussed the difference of Jin Wujun.

And Cai still always follows everyone like a good baby, he answers whatever others ask, and never says a word - this also makes Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others have a better impression of Cai Zhen.

Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others had never seen such an army or such a camp, so they felt strange when they saw anything.

Liang Fangcheng even pointed to the temporary toilet that Cai still had people build and asked, "What is that?" ”

Knowing that the Jinwu Army even has a special place for convenience, everyone was deeply impressed by the Jinwu Army, and they all felt that the Jinwu Army might be a strong army.

On this basis, Fu Cha proposed: "Why don't you have Jin Wuwei as the selection leader?" ”

Zeng Xiaoyun and Liang Fangping both felt that it was more reliable to use Jin Wuwei to be elected as the vanguard than to use other forbidden armies that were almost rotten to the roots.

As a result, the Jinwu Army also became the Election Army.

But—

There is still a problem with the election of Jin Wujun as the front army.

The problem is that the Jinwu army has too few men and horses, only one commander, and usually the front army has to be 3,000 men and horses, so the Jinwu army is simply not enough to shoulder this heavy task.

Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others discussed, and finally decided that Wang Zongmao, deputy general manager of the Mabu Army on the North Beijing Road, would be the envoy of the selection, and then gather the strongest forbidden army of the five battalions including the Jinwu Army to form the Xuanfeng Army.

After deciding on the selection of the front army, Zeng Xiaoyun, Liang Fangping, Fu Cha and others began to formulate a plan to suppress the bandits against the whereabouts of Song Jiang and his gang.

During this period, Cai still asked Xu Meng and other clever people to inquire about the soldiers who were brave, dared to fight, had good obedience, and had no chance of getting ahead.

That's right!

As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down!
