Volume 1: The Great Song Fengyun Chapter 036: Captain Xiao Cavalry Attacks (6)
Of course, Xiao Tzuxian knew that Song Taizong was still a master of poisoning without blinking, and the Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu all died at the hands of Zhao Guangyi; Zhao Guangyi killed his brother Zhao Kuangyin, it was a real thing to nail in the iron plate, Xiao Tzuxian believed it a hundred times, but Xiao Tzuxian wanted to take out something practical from Zhao Xibao's mouth; So he made a fuss and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about!" Why did Song Taizong want to put people to death......"
Zhao Xibao pondered for a moment and said: "It's not because of the candlelight axe shadow, the two things of the Golden Kui Alliance!"
Xiao Tzu didn't want to pretend to be forced when he heard Zhao Xibao say this, so he didn't have to pretend to be forced; sighed and said: "The two troubled things of the Candlelight Axe Shadow and the Golden Kui Alliance know that it is not Zhao Guangyi who killed his brother Zhao Kuangyin; Did Zhao Pu get a matter of Empress Dowager Du's edict being put on the throne in a box? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Xibao said busily, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao is a spirit worm, and it is clear at all!" ”
Xiao Tzu paused for a moment and said excitedly: "Zhao Guangyi, this old stick, did these two things, and the old owl on the tree knows it, but whether it's true or not, only the ghost knows!" ”
"Zhao Guangyi, he's a ghost!" It is no wonder that Zhao Xibao actually said something rebellious; Who let Emperor Taizong enter the rotten wood; Shadow Ascending to Heaven? Since it has been made of rotten wood, the rights and wrongs behind him can only be commented on; There are tens of thousands of people in the world who have a mouth, can you stop everyone's mouth?
Zhao Xibao finished the above sentence rebelliously, and intensified: "Since Song Taizong has done the secret of ghosts in his heart, he is very taboo for someone to mention the matter of Candlelight Axe Shadow and the Golden Kui Alliance; Old General Xue just fell for this trick! ”
Xiao Tzu was stunned for a moment, and said bluntly: "General Xue directly said that Zhao Guangyi killed his brother Zhao Kuangyin? ”
"Not really!" Zhao Xibao said thoughtfully: "General Xue is the old buddy of Grandpa Tai, and Grandpa Taizu's death without knowing anything has cast a shadow on General Xue's heart; He has a lot of criticism about the candlelight, axe, and the alliance of Jinkui, but how dare he say it in person? Just after being drunk, he showed a few doubts and was reported, and Song Taizong wanted to deal with him; Thanks to Kou Zhun's advice, he survived the disaster and returned to Xianghewan to become a township ......"
Zhao Xibao recounted it like this, so that Xiao Tzu first completely grasped Xue Shisan's situation; But how can the Khitan Tartars be willing? This guy had to inch in and said: "So General Xue is Kou Zhun's best friend!" ”
"It's hard to say who is who's sworn friend, if you think about it, Xue Shisan is a first-class member; Kou Zhun is also a first-class member, and there is no way to define which of the two is the master and which is the servant! Zhao Xibao said with a look.
Xiao Tzu first said "oh oh oh ......" a few times: "Cao Mou understands, the two are not divided into master and servant, but they are in the same party!" ”
Zhao Xibao said impassionedly: "It can also be said that you see that the five ghost kings of the imperial court, Qin Ruo, Ding Wei, Lin Te, Chen Pengnian, and Liu Chengjue, have teamed up to bring down Kou Zhun but have been difficult to succeed, why, it's not that I'm afraid of Xue Shisan and his granddaughter Xue Jin'er!" ”
Zhao Xibao said freely, and said openly: "Xue Shisan is a battle-hardened veteran general, and her granddaughter Xue Jin'er is Fan Lihua and Chen Jinding; There are also those families in the Xue family, all of whom are strong in martial arts, even if the Empress Dowager Xiao sends an army, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue; The five ghosts of the imperial court will not be cleaned up by Miss Xue Jin'er! ”
Zhao Xibao used the word "tidy" in Guanzhong's voice to describe Xue Jin'er's bravery, and Xiao Tzu first heard beads of sweat on his forehead.
Xiao Tzuxian thought in horror in his heart: Song Court has a heroine like Xue Jin'er, how can it be easy for my aunt to dominate the Central Plains? No wonder my aunt and King Wenzhong attach so much importance to this trip to Xianghewan, it seems that there is really a reason; If Xue Shisan and Xue Jin'er are not killed, the army of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom may not even be able to enter the Yanmen Pass......
Xiao Tzu first pulled eggs with Zhao Xibao all the way, passed through Pingyang, and entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty through Longde; Passing through Pingliang Mansion, Xiao Tzuxian's 31 cavalry lieutenants arrived at Fengxiang Mansion smoothly.
Fengxiang Mansion belongs to Qin Feng Road, earlier this was the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and the ancestors of Qin Shi Huang were in Fengxiang Mansion to accumulate strength and move the capital to Xianyang to unify China.
Xiao Tzuxian and 31 Xiao Cavalry Captains rode horses on the spacious and tidy streets of Fengxiang Mansion, only to see the teahouses and restaurants in the market; The street is a busy scene of people coming and going, which is very different from the situation of walking in the lonely northern desert for a few days before seeing a person.
Xiao Tzuxian was secretly surprised in his heart: This Fengxiang Mansion is not bad with Bianliang in Kyoto in the Northern Song Dynasty!
Xiao Tzuxian was not wrong, the relationship between the imperial court and the Western Xia regime on the northwest border during the Jingde period of the Northern Song Dynasty was good and bad; Wars between the two countries are frequent.
Fengxiang Mansion was only separated by a Pingliang Mansion in the middle of Western Xia, where the imperial court hoarded a large amount of military supplies; Moreover, it opened a field with Western Xia, Tibet, Uighurs, Body Poison, Great Food, and Persia, and Fengxiang Mansion gathered businessmen from all over the world; The prosperity of the trading market is comparable to that of Bianliang, Yangzhou and Hangzhou in Tokyo.
Xiao Tzu first walked around the dazzling commercial market, and said silently in his heart: "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, I have to leave this place immediately and rush to the Xianghe Valley......
Xiao Tzu first unloaded the salt pack and ate a meal at the cargo position designated by Zhao Xibao; Xiao Tzu said to Zhao Xibao first: "Brother Zhao, the younger brother wants to go to the Xue family horse farm in Xianghewan to buy a few mules, but I don't know the specific location of the horse farm; I have to send someone to guide the way! ”
Zhao Xibao grabbed Xiao Tzuxian's hand and laughed loudly: "Who are you looking for?" Didn't Zhao also go to Xianghewan to buy mules and horses? I'm not going to show you the way! Zhao Xibao said with a crisp horn.
Xiao Tzu bowed first and said with a smile: "With the brother of the Zhao family personally leading the way, Cao Suhou is grateful; Here's a gift to the Zhao family's brother! Xiao Tzu said first, and bowed deeply to Zhao Xibao three times.
Zhao Xibao gave Xiao Tzu a salute first, turned to the two subordinates Zhang Lang and Li Guo in the distance, waved his hands and shouted: "Zhang Lang, Li Guo, after you two arrange the people to return to Jingzhao Mansion; Take a few brothers and the official to a trip to the Xianghe Bay Horse Farm......"
Zhang Fang and Li Guo quickly brought 8 soldiers and a total of 11 people together with Zhao Xibao to gather and accompanied Xiao Tzuxian 31 horsemen to rush to the Tianzhuling Horse Farm in Xianghe Bay.
The river originates from the Laoye Ridge of Longjiang Mountain, and the river water hits the Longtou Gorge and then sprinkles and sprinkles to the southeast and rushes away.
Xiao Tzuxian's 31st cavalry lieutenant, accompanied by Zhao Xibao and 11 people, walked out of the east gate of Fengxiang Mansion and walked on the north bank of the Xiang River; Gallop your horse.
The Tianzhu Ridge where the three old generals of the Xue Shi raised horses was located in Weichuan County, Fengxiang Prefecture, and it took half a day to arrive from Fengxiang Mansion.
The river in summer is like a roaring lion, unruly rushing out of Longjiang Mountain's Longtou Gorge and roaring all the way forward; When he arrived in Weichuan County, he suddenly became docile, and he was as well-behaved as a shy little girl on the shore.
The reason why the Xianghe River became a docile peasant girl in Weichuan County was not because the Wheel Valley to the west of Tianzhu Ridge was divided into three by Wuling.
After the three rivers are separated at the Wuling Mountains, one to the south is still called the River; one to the north is called the Seven Star River; One of the middle roads is the Tianzhu River.
The Tianzhu River provides a rich source of water to the Gudao grassland under the Tianzhu Mountains, and the livestock of the Xue family's horse farm have a place to drink.
The Xiang River is divided into three rivers with different names in the west of Tianzhu Ridge and flows eastward for one or two hundred miles and then merges into one that is still called the Xiang River, which joins the Wei River from Yangling, and the Xiang River is the first major tributary of the Wei River; The Wei River is the largest tributary of the Yellow River.
Things in the world are so strange and clever, but behind the bizarre and clever often hide unspeakable murderous motives.
As soon as Xiao Tzuxian's 31st cavalry lieutenant came out of Fengxiang Mansion and hit the embankment of the Xianghe River, Xiao Tzuxian whispered with He Gulu and Daxi for a while; plans to find a secret place to kill Zhao Xibao and 11 people.
A wolf is a wolf after all, and the nature of a wolf is to eat meat; Xiao Tzu Xian 31 rode Xiao Cavalry Captain to Zhao Xibao to transport salt, and each horse only charged the usual money for freight; And killing Zhao Xibao 11 people, the money obtained is not a consistent thing.
Zhao Xibao 11 people regarded Xiao Tzuxian as a good brother with similar ideals, and Zhang Lang and Li Guo were even more affectionate to the 31 horsemen; It is really too much to think that Cao Suhou 31 rode a horse back from the salt pond to be full of salt, and each horse only received the same amount of freight.
Zhao Xibao, who had made a lot of money, was even more overjoyed, and the Cao brothers were like a child; Guan Zhonghan, who was full of only wanting to make money and being cunning, would have thought that the 11 of them were getting closer and closer to the brink of death.
He Gulu did not agree to attack Zhao Xibao's 11 people immediately, but suggested that he should act after arriving at the horse farm; Xiao Tzu first adopted Hegulu's suggestion......
