Chapter 341: I don't know the meaning of the yellow finch 6

The people in the horse market today are the same as usual. Although they are in the midst of war, the lives of ordinary people still have to be lived, and the nomadic herds, who are accustomed to seeing struggles and wars, know that the more wars there are, the sooner they must sell their livestock to reduce possible losses. Besides, compared to other places, Yanjing is a pure land. Therefore, there are still as many people trading in the North Horse Market of Yanjing City as before.

Towards noon, Yanjing in early winter is gradually warming, and with the herdsmen driving herdsmen from all over the country to drive herdsmen gathered, the horse market gradually became lively and lively. Divination people wearing long-sleeved robes without slits, Xi people wearing hair like Khitans and mink brocade sheep furs, party members wearing felt hats and woolen robes, and Han people with narrow sleeves and long hair scattered are all dressed in different costumes and different voices, but they do not hinder them from reaching a deal with each other. Copper coins are used to buy and sell small ones, and most of these copper coins are incoming Song copper coins or copper coins from previous dynasties. Gold and silver are used for many things, and Daliao also casts all kinds of money and gold ingots, which is convenient to use.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed out from the Gongchen Gate not far to the south, galloped to the north, followed by a long line of infantry, unhurriedly following the horse team, and ran towards the north.

The horse market is between the two city gates Gongchen Gate and Tongtian Gate in the north of Yanjing City, and the people in the horse market do not care much when they see that it is a group of Song troops going north. Immediately afterwards, a group of Song troops also ran out from Tongtianmen, also with the horse army in front and the infantry army behind, and also ran north.

While these shepherds and merchants were puzzled, the two teams of horses that had run past turned back and rushed towards the horse market, looking in the direction where a large group of horse sellers was.

Two groups of horsemen surrounded a dozen horse-sellers in the middle, and surrounded the herdsmen who were selling horses. The rest of the traders who were leading the cattle and driving the sheep were about to leave in a hurry, but it was too late, and the infantry troops who came out of the two city gates were gathering from the east and west, and the Song cavalry was on the north, and they could not get out.

I saw a man riding out of the Song cavalry and shouting: "The generals are short of horses, wait for these horses, the court has requisitioned them!" A horse three times money, the day after tomorrow can go to Yanshan Xuanfu Embassy to collect. ”

As soon as the man had finished speaking, he came over and rushed over with swords and spears in his hands, and gathered the horses together, as if they were about to take them back to the camp.

A long-sleeved and long-robed divination man shouted in stiff Chinese: "The nobleman can't take it!" Our people eat and drink by horses. As he spoke, he came up to stop the Song soldiers, and immediately two soldiers came over and smashed the top of the divination man with spears. Seeing that Song Bing smashed himself with a gun, he stretched out his arm to block and swing the gun away, but he didn't dare to resist, and he still stopped the horse.

One of the horsemen immediately drew out his sword, and as soon as he urged his horse, he came to the diviner, and with a stroke of the knife in his hand, he was about to cut down at the diviner. The diviner did not panic, but stood forward, supported the hand of the cavalryman with the sword, and with a slight push of his right hand, the cavalryman leaned back and fell off his horse, causing the surrounding herdsmen and merchants to laugh.

The divination man did not enter the Song soldiers, but still stopped and did not let the horses lead. The cavalryman, who had fallen to the ground, got up from the ground and shouted angrily: "Shoot arrows! Archery! Suddenly, a Song soldier shot an arrow at the diviner, and an arrow hit the chest of the diviner, and the diviner was unable to resist the injury after all, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Two people ran out of the crowd, who looked to be only in their teens, and gathered around the diviner, crying in their own words, but the diviner who was hit by the arrow just shook his head and couldn't speak.

The surrounding herdsmen and traders are all bloody and brave people, as soon as they saw the death, they were all filled with righteous indignation, shouting and rushing towards these Song soldiers, these Song infantry troops couldn't help but slowly retreat backwards, and those Song cavalry soldiers all drew their bows and arrows, put the arrows on the strings, and slowly aimed at these herdsmen. A man who looked like a general was riding on a horse, looked coldly at the unarmed herdsmen in front of him, and shouted: "If the officers and soldiers requisition horses, if you dare to resist, you will be regarded as complicity!" Lawfully kill on sight! ”

The herdsmen and traders clenched their fists, and some drew their swords, and with anger in their eyes, they continued to approach step by step. The general on the horse was about to give an order, when suddenly someone from the sheep seller not far away ran over, shouting as he ran: "The general's men have mercy!" The villain has something to say. ”

The Song general on the horse was Liu Guangshi, he thought that with his soldiers, he would go outside the city to grab some horses and money, what would those poor people dare to do? But here, as soon as the horses were about to be taken away, the herdsmen and traders had to confront the officials and soldiers. Liu Guangshi came to rob property, not to kill people and cause trouble, so he just now sent a message to warn these people not to fight against the imperial court officials and soldiers. It's just that these people really want money and don't want their lives, and they really want to rush up and fight with the officials and soldiers.

When Liu Guangshi was riding a tiger, he heard someone shouting for his subordinates to be merciful. Someone gave him the steps, Liu Guangshi was naturally happy to get off the donkey down the slope, and without saying a word, he looked at the person running over in the distance.

When I saw that this man was dressed in a tight-sleeved robe and had hair, he knew that he was a Khitan, so he asked, "Who are you?" Why did you stop me? ”

The Khitan man smiled all over his face, stepped forward to give Liu Guangshi a deep salute, and said: "These people are all border people, they have no knowledge, they don't understand the etiquette and national law of the Southern Dynasty, and please raise your noble hand and let them go." ”

Liu Guangshi snorted coldly, took the shelf and said: "It's not that I want to embarrass them, the imperial court wants to requisition these horses, and I am also acting on orders." If you dare to obstruct it, I will have no choice but to make an example. ”

The Khitan man still smiled and said: "Master General, the villain has a reputation in this area, and Master Jiang will take these horses away." These people have let the villain persuade them, and they will never stop the general! ”

Liu Guangshi saw that the matter was almost big, and knew that Zhao Fujin was still in Yanjing City, and knew that he would accept it when he saw it, so he said: "It's okay, I will follow you, don't embarrass them." Then he said to his men, "Drive all the horses away." The herdsmen were still shouting, and the Khitan man stepped forward to these herdsmen and shouted: "Let the officers and soldiers drive the horses away, and the rest will say to me Xiao Gu!" At this time, those Song army infantry soldiers ran over, and together with the cavalry, slowly drove a large group of horses towards the city.

Liu Guangshi saw that there was really no one to stop him, so he said to the Khitan: "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

The Khitan replied: "The villain Xiao Gu is from Danzhou. ”

Liu Guangshi said proudly: "I wrote it down, if you have something to do in Yanjing City, you can go to the former army camp to find me." With that, he rode away.

Seeing that Liu Guangshi had gone far, the smile on the face of the man named Xiao Gu gradually disappeared, and he pointed to the divination man lying on the ground and said loudly to these herdsmen: "Carry him away first to heal his injuries!" How much you have lost, I Xiao Gu bears it! ”
