Winter is coming.

When the Jiangbei countries were first built, except for occasional small-scale frictions, they were basically peaceful.

Jiangbei, which has long been in turmoil, is full of bones, and the villages and towns burned by the war are silent, and the farmland is deserted and overgrown with weeds.

However, in the palaces of the kings of the countries, there are singing and dancing, drinking and meat, and the freedom and doing whatever they want after turning over and becoming the master make everyone in the palace extremely inflated.

Everything comes too easily, and what is lost will be lost even faster.

Jingzhou, Jiangnan.

It seems that the cold air in the north of the Yangtze River has been waiting for the mountains and mountains, and it is only a good day and an auspicious day to wreak havoc on the south of the Yangtze River, and it also spreads a thick white blanket on the land of the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, is over half a hundred years old, his messy white hair is draped over his shoulders at will, the bookshelves in the study have been covered with a thick layer of dust, and there is not a single file on the desk.

Zhou Yi, who was sleeping at the desk, mixed his saliva with the remaining wine on the table, left it on the edge of the table, and dripped on the ground one by one regularly, forming an irregular cloudy water stain.

The young man became famous, and after entering the scholar, the country broke the mountains and rivers, and the famous man who aspired to be the prime minister has now all come to naught, only wine can eliminate sorrow, only after a hangover can he watch the mountains and rivers, and the strategy in his chest can be displayed.

Report~

Zhou Yi, who was most annoyed by being disturbed after drinking, was woken up by the hurried sound of the guards, grabbed his loose hair impatiently, and casually twisted a wine jug and threw it in the direction from which the sound came.

There was a weak breath in his mouth and said: "Get out, how far and how far you go." ”

"Lord Thorn Shi, when the holy decree arrives, the angel is outside the door."

As if he was electrocuted, Zhou Yi immediately woke up, brushed his hair casually, wiped his face with wide cuffs, laughed madly and ran to the door, forgetting to wear his shoes.

Zhou Yi knelt on the damp ground and didn't feel cold, but there was blood boiling in his heart. After hearing the angel say: "Zhou Aiqing has a thousand strategies in his chest, and he is a capable person in governing the world, and he should always accompany him to help the widow and the widow to become prosperous and prosperous, and when the people are rich and the country is strong, the soldiers will go north, restore my mountains and rivers, and look forward to returning to the dynasty." ”

Zhou Yi cried with joy and kowtowed heavily. Zhou Yi was extremely polite and wanted to thank the angel for retaining, but the angel repeatedly refused, his face was extremely humble, but he thought in his heart: "You drunken maniac, who dares to stay, the drunken gibberish has been spread, and it is difficult to save your life." ”

Seeing that the angel was resolute and anxious to return to the court, Zhou Yi was not easy to force, and after sending the housekeeper to send gifts and arrange the carriage, he swept away the previous decadence, his eyes became bright, and he returned to the study and instructed the servant: "Clean up today, the family should be simple, and return to the pilgrimage to see the emperor early tomorrow morning." Hahaha, this troubled world, only I can cure it. When the floating is white, come, bring up the old wine in the warehouse, and the old man wants to thank the Son of Heaven for his favor. ”

At the same time, in the big tent of Wuchang Shuiying, Tao Kan and his generals were half-kneeling on the ground, and an angel read the holy decree with a smile and handed it to Tao Kan. Smiled and congratulated: "Lord Zhou Zhou was originally ordered to lead the land of Jingxiang, but as soon as he came, he was dismounted by those bandits, thanks to General Tao's ability to lead the troops to keep Wuchang from losing, and the bandits no longer dare to fight Wuchang's attention, Lord Zhou must have been happy to obey the orders before returning to the imperial court, and the governor of the capital appreciated the general's special worship of the general as the envoy, General Ningyuan, the captain of the Nanban, and the history of Jingzhou's assassination, and took charge of all matters. The villain congratulates the general on his ascension. ”

Tao Kan took a stuffed brocade belt from his subordinates and hurriedly held the angel's hands, stuffed the brocade bag into the angel's hand, and said with a smile: "The angel is hard, the emperor's grace is vast, Tao must make persistent efforts to share worries for the country, share worries for the emperor, and thank the governor for his appreciation. Ah, hahaha, the angel is hard, please move to the city, the banquet has already been prepared, for the angel to receive the wind and wash the dust, a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, and please the angel to appreciate the face. ”

The angel was very skillful in putting the brocade belt stuffed by Tao Kan into the wide cuffs, and smiled even more happily, seeing that Tao Kan said beautifully, and he was extremely comfortable, so he no longer shirked, and followed Tao Kan into the carriage into the city.

In the big tent, after Tao Kan and Angel and other generals who should accompany the wine left, although Tao Fan was also happy for his father's promotion, he was disgusted when he saw the appearance between him and Angel just now, although he knew that his father was playing on the spot, but it was too disgusting. Tao Fan pretended to learn from his father's humble pretense to hold the angel's hand; "Ah, the angel is hard, the boat is tired, the banquet has already been prepared, for the angel to catch the wind and wash the dust, a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, and ask the angel to appreciate the face." Tao Fan, who had learned well, disgusted himself into a cold sweat, shrunk his back, walked out of the big tent and looked at the lifeless military camp, and suddenly thought of Jiang Ge in Linyuan City, pinching his fingers and counting it, he hadn't seen him for a while, and he was idle, so he quickly whipped back to Wuchang City, Tao Mansion, and ran towards Linyuan with his family.

The current situation in Jingzhou is very worrying, except for Wuchang County, Nanjun County, Nanping County, Yidu County, and some areas of Jiangnan in Jianping County, only Tianmen County is completely under the jurisdiction of the Thorn History Mansion.

To the south, Changsha County, Ancheng County, Xiangdong County, Guiyang County, Lingling County, Shaoling County, and Hengyang County are all counted

Occupied by the homeless army Du Tao, its strength is growing day by day, and the homeless people from all over the world have gathered in Hunan and have become a trend.

Although Wuling County was not occupied by the exile army, it was actually not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, like a country within a country, and everything was autonomous by the Jiang family.

At the banquet between Tao Kan and the angel, after thirty years, the angel gradually got better, and he spoke a little more openly, saying a lot of wild anecdotes, although Tao Kan showed an expression on his face that it was good to listen indifferently, but he wrote them down one by one in his heart.

After a few glasses of wine, the angel in a very good mood beckoned to Tao Kan to listen to it, Tao Kan naturally turned his ear with a big grin, and only heard the angel say: "The emperor first went to Jiangnan, and the relationship between the customs and customs of Jiangnan is still being explored, but after hearing about the matter of Wuling County, Long Yan was furious, and the court was complicated for the time being, and there were displaced people and Baiyue rebels Jingguang and Jingguang outside the court, and the emperor had no time to care. However, the general should make arrangements as soon as possible, lest the time come, and it will not be good to catch the general off guard. ”

When Tao Kan heard this, he frowned slightly, and it was gone in a blink of an eye, but he kept nodding his head and admitting in his mouth: "Thank you angel for telling me, Tao is grateful for such a secret, and I will thank the angel later." ”

When the angel who had drunk a little too much heard this, his eyes lit up, and he thought that he still had to get genuine news in exchange for real money, so he immediately said: "It seems that a few days ago, the kid of the general's family went to Wuling, and it is time to go back to Jinling in a few days, it seems that the general also thinks that Wuling is beautiful and has abundant grain and grass, hahaha." ”

Tao Kan, who listened to two bad news in succession, continued to toast and wanted to set up some more news, but the angel was too strong to drink and fainted.

Seeing the angel lying on the table, the face full of smiles and respects immediately regained his serious and resolute temperament, and after drinking the wine in the cup, he got up and waved his hand back to the Tao Mansion study, and when he was about to pick up the pen and write, the housekeeper knocked on the door, and Tao Kan answered and asked what was the matter. The housekeeper said that the ninth prince took the family general to Linyuan to relax, and then came back in a few days.

Tao Kan blew his beard and glared when he heard it: "Nonsense, this rebel, it's not that he doesn't know that the bandits occupy most of Jingzhou, the east of Wuling is full of fallen places, and Linyuan is even closer to the border of Hengyang County." Seeing the end of the year, what to do if there is an accident, there are really no rules at all. You go and inform his third brother, and let him chase after him with a hundred horses, and come to the study before leaving. ”

Tao Kan was angry, and after arranging the housekeeper, the pen was like flying, and when the third son Tao Xia arrived in the study, he sealed it in a bamboo tube and whispered a few words, and then let the third son quickly chase Tao Fan away.

Rubbing his forehead over and over again, he pondered the information revealed by the angels, the most important thing is undoubtedly the independent existence of Wuling County, which makes the king of a country feel guilty, even if he has merit with the previous dynasty, he can't cut the land and govern himself. I don't know who stabbed it, but the emperor was naturally angry and annoyed when he heard it.

And the general Wang Dun is extremely impure, the power is monstrous and steadily suppresses the imperial power, and he is insatiable, the Jiang family has a long heritage and has always been low-key, and he can still live happily in such a corner of the world, which must be a lot. For the Wang family, Wuling is a piece of fat, and after eating, it can increase more strength to stabilize the power of the internal and external courts.

There is also a family surnamed Bai, Tao Kan has never heard of it, but why can this Bai family enter the eyes of the emperor and the Wang family at the same time. Could it be another huge piece of fat?

Although Tao Kan, who was born in Buyi, knows some anecdotes about the secrets of the rivers and lakes, and is also familiar with history, he asks himself that he will not ignore too much about some families with good inheritance, and he knows a little bit about it. There are also Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, Zhou, Shen, Yu, Wei, Kong, and She. Tao Kan can count the basic situation and representative figures of each family like a family treasure. Thinking about it, there is no family with the surname Bai, and there is no impression at all.

Once he encounters a blind spot in knowledge, Tao Kan likes to explore, this Bai family is like this, since it can make the royal family and the Wang family interested, then this Bai family must also have its special place. Out of curiosity, Tao Kan clapped his hands, and a black figure immediately appeared outside the window, Tao Kan said in a low voice: "Check this Bai family in Jinling." ”

The figure outside the window just clenched his fist, and then disappeared in a flash, disappearing without saying a word.

Outside the west gate of Wuchang City, Tao Xia, who was wearing battle armor, took the lead and rushed to the official road with the same heavily armed hundred horsemen and ran towards Linyuan, the horse's hooves rumbled, and the sound of Jin Ge was endless. Passers-by on the side of the road got out of the way, whispering to each other about the whereabouts of the horse caravan, wanting to have another lively scene in the tavern and tea shop.

The three fast horses galloped on the official road, and Tao Fan asked the generals beside him: "It's not early, where is the nearest town in front, and how far is it?" Recover your strength at night, and it's not too late to travel tomorrow. ”

The general said in a loud voice: "Back to the ninth son, there are still twenty miles to Shayang County." After Shayang, we arrived in Nanjun. ”

Tao Fan is in a good mood, hurry up, so free, even if the wind is colder, the road is farther, and it is more dangerous, so what, to be as free as the wind, life is meaningful.

Blowing the wind of freedom, riding a galloping fast horse, arrived at the county seat of Shayang

After Wangshanlou, the best restaurant in the city, Tao Fan decided to change the carriage the next day.

In the private room, Tao Fan was wrapped in a fur coat, with a red charcoal fire in front of him, and after drinking half a pot of hot rice wine in a row, after a layer of fine sweat came out on his forehead, Tao Fan felt a lot more comfortable, and his mood was much better, but the inside of his crotch was still hot and painful. But it doesn't matter if you think about riding in a carriage the next day. After seeing Jiang Ge, he can also show his thighs to prove that he is running thousands of miles just to see him, this feeling is not deep, buddy is not righteous. At that time, Jiang Ge will definitely be ashamed of himself and moved to tears.

Thinking about it like this, Tao Fan is even happier, righteous, this is a real buddy.

As soon as he was in a good mood and his appetite improved, looking at a few side dishes on the table and the two generals next to him who had been following him for most of the day, Tao Fan also felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

They are all righteous brothers, sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, what kind of literati and elegant people are doing that, looking at the two generals drinking rice wine without taste, swaying on the plate with three plucks and two picks, Tao Fan felt a little sad in his heart, and dared to follow the ninth prince on an errand to treat him like this, and he muttered in his heart that he was stingy.

So he endured the heat under his crotch, Tao Fan personally walked to the door of the private room and opened the door to greet Xiao Er loudly: "Xiao Er, Childe, I am in a good mood today, the best burnt knife will come to the two jars first, what kind of roast mutton cake, sauce beef can be sent to Childe, I will send it to Childe, people in the rivers and lakes, you have to drink and eat meat, you have to be proud." ”

Just now, this son counted out that the dishes are not exquisite enough, and the elegance and fun of the literati are missing, and the children of the rivers and lakes are full of arrogance at this time? Xiao Er, who was resentful, was unhappy in his heart, but he still replied very carefully: "Childe is arrogant, look at Childe is a young man who is happy and revengeful, you wait a minute, good wine and good meat will come soon." ”

Tao Fan listened to Xiao Eryi's praise, he was in a better mood, and when he was about to turn around and close the door, the box door on the opposite side of the aisle was not closed tightly, maybe the little two who served the food were estimated to have left a seam, Tao Fan just glanced at it, the golden-robed boy on the main seat was dressed too eye-catching, and someone was wearing a golden robe to show off outside, thinking that those robbers and bandits had bad eyes?

The curious Tao Fan quietly leaned over, wanting to hear which family's son-in-law was so angry, it was simply a human bait, full of courage. If you have the chance, you must make friends.

Tao Fan listened carefully, and a middle-aged man in the room said in a deep voice: "This time the loss of soldiers is a subordinate who underestimates the enemy, and I hope that the son will punish him." ”

The golden-robed prince said very politely: "Brother Yuwen is too worried, he was ordered to go to Wuling to investigate the situation between the military and the people, but it dragged down the eldest brother's brothers. If it weren't for the eldest brother blocking the enemy outside the city alone, the younger brother would probably not be able to leave Wuling safely. After going back to see his father, he will definitely ask for credit for his eldest brother to make up for his eldest brother's loss. ”

The middle-aged man continued to answer through the steps: "Where is it, the son is humble, not to mention the excellent strength of the son, the yellow-haired boy is handy." Besides, if you need Gongzi to take action in person, Brother Yang's stainless steel spear that has killed countless enemies can make the other party ambush. ”

The golden-robed boy laughed and said: "It's good to go to Wuling to get a good harvest, but the token has not been found, and the legend is not true or false, but my father said that there must be one." The Jiang family's time is running out, and this feud is postponed for some time. Come on, Brother Yuwen, Brother Yang, Brother Yang and Little Brother will give you a drink. ”

"Childe, please."

"Childe is polite, please."

"The private room of the private seat is the number of places, and the two altars that the young man wants are good to burn knives, roast lamb, sauced beef, braised pork knuckles, and roast chicken......"

The shopkeeper quickly walked towards Tao Fan's private room with a few runners with wine and food, singing the name of the dish and beaming.

In the private room that I was eavesdropping on, I probably disliked Xiao Er's report that the name of the dish was a little noisy, which prevented them from drinking and talking, and the door of the room was firmly closed with a bang.

Tao Fan vaguely heard some of the content that made the young man who had just returned to the rivers and lakes a little distracted, but the two generals helped Tao Fan sit down with a smile, eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl. Tao Fan was coping with the toast of the general, while thinking about whether something had happened to Jiang Ge in Linyuan.

That golden-robed boy looks, well, probably very powerful.

Will Jiang Ge be troublesome?

Thinking about his father's promotion to the assassin of Jingzhou, now Jingzhou is like a lonely Wuling County outside Jingzhou, in addition to the bandits of the exile army, Tao Fan knows the actual situation of Wuling County, sixty percent of them are native residents, and the three major clans are closely related, plus the current Jiang family is ironclad.

Wuling neither expressed who he supported nor opposed, but when the royal family and the northern and southern clans were fighting for power and profit, they meant to sell at a price. seems to be neutral, but in fact secretly preserves strength. But the Jiang family didn't seem to have any objections, and his father also said that the Jiang family just wanted to live in peace and survive this troubled era, so they contributed money and food to help their father fight the thieves.

It seems that there are some things that the Jiang family has not noticed, Wuling has become an independent fragrant bait in the south of the Yangtze River, and all forces are trying to find ways to test the roots of Wuling. At the first opportunity, I am afraid that the wolves will rush to eat.

Thinking of this Tao Fan drank a big bowl of soju fiercely, poured half a pot of water spicy, and thought that he would go to the soup for his brother, and he must continue to fly freely tomorrow.
