Chapter 60 to Shaanzhou

Zhang Zhimu turned to the prisoners who were about to follow, there were thirty people here. Why keep them, because Zhang Zhimu knows that cavalry is a technical branch, and training is not easy, and this cavalry is not just an infantry on horseback. Zhang Zhimu said to them: "From now on, we are all brothers, and these brothers behind me used to be the soldiers of the king, and now you are just like them, and we will all have difficulties in the future." In the future, when someone asks you where you were some time ago, they will say that you have been in the kiln, and all the brothers in the kiln have testified to you, and you are not allowed to mention the king again. Tomorrow, everyone will change into this uniform and enter Shaanzhou, and forget the past from now on. Thirty or so brethren were jubilant.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Now those rejected horses are useless, and all the dead horses are loaded into the car." If the carriage can't fit it, use the horses to carry it, in short, don't waste it. ”

Liu Yun disorganized the captives and reorganized them. Everyone got on their horses and prepared to set off for the camp by the river, when Zhang Zhimu suddenly thought that this stone blocking the way should be removed. ordered Li Wei to blow it up. Li Wei had experience this time, and with a bang, he blew the stone to pieces. Everyone stepped forward together, removed all the broken stones, and then the whole team set off.

When they came to the camp, all the people in the camp came out to greet everyone like heroes. When Yan Boju saw that there were so many horses coming again, he couldn't close his mouth with joy. When Lu Chengxiang saw that he had brought back so many dead horses, he hurriedly recruited people, picked up horse skins, and boiled horse meat. Over there, Yan Boju shouted, "These horses can't be mixed with those horses." These are all trained war horses, how can they be mixed with those raw eggs. And everyone did according to his arrangement, and tied the horses to a special place. "After a day of fighting, the results were surprisingly good. Except for a few wounded, every one of them died. The merchants in the camp were all buzzing about this dreamy experience.

Zhang Zhimu, like everyone else, washed up by the river, found a place in the camp, and lay down. I didn't know I was tired when I was fighting, but now I'm tired and don't want to move at all, so I want to lie down. Fortunately, Yan Boju and Li Mao had already begun to arrange sentry posts everywhere, and Zhang Zhimu didn't have to worry about it. Yang Yulin was afraid that Zhang Zhimu would be cold, so she moved her luggage and padded it to him. Zhang Zhimu said: "You are also tired for a day, rest!" Zhang Bingchen came over and asked Zhang Zhimu if he could stop in Shaanzhou for two more days, because the medicine it brought was almost gone, and he thought he had brought a lot, but he didn't expect it to be used so quickly, and he wanted to dispense some more medicine in Shaanzhou. Zhang Zhimu said: "It's to stop in Shaanzhou for a few more days, everyone is too nervous, and we need to adjust." If you want to use money, go directly to Lu Chengxiang and try to match as much as possible. Be prepared. ”

At dinner, several merchants from the caravan came over, and one of them, a Texan merchant, said: "The brothers fought bloodily to make us break through without losing a penny." We have been trapped in Hanguguan this time, it has been a few months, and our family doesn't know whether we are alive or dead, without you, we don't know when we will be trapped, in this wilderness, there is nothing to express our hearts. A few of our merchants discussed, and there happened to be two jars of good wine, so let's express our hearts a little. Zhang Zhimu couldn't refuse, so he accepted it. In the evening, it was stewed horse meat, and with soju, Zhang Zhimu drank a little too much. As soon as you see this, let's wait until tomorrow to talk about everything.

When Zhang Zhimu opened his eyes again, the sun had already risen. Hurry to the river and wash your face. Chen Yufeng came over and said that things were arranged like this. Since there were too few boats to cross the river, they sent people to look for them. For the time being, let Li Jing and Lu Chengxiang go to Shaanzhou to play the front station, Lu Chengxiang arranged a place to live there, and Li Jing came back after buying clothes, so that he could change the clothes of those brothers. Let's take our time with this caravan, there's no way. Zhang Zhimu said: "Okay, just go to Shaanzhou today." We can die in a hurry when we are in a hurry, and we can die in a hurry. Zhang Zhimu saw that there was nothing wrong, so he came to the brothers who had not yet changed their uniforms and chatted with everyone. This is Zhang Zhimu's forte. At this time, the people were simple-minded, and the ideological work was very good, and it didn't take long for them to lose their sense of restraint, and then it was the tactics of attacking the heart. What I was used to in my previous life, what kind of career cohesion plus the allure of money. These people can withstand this set of tactics. They all feel that they have found a savior now, and everyone feels hopeful. Liu Yun and Li Wei watched from the side, after a few times like this, they admired Zhang Zhimu too much, the opponent who had seen each other before had only been close to him for less than a day, and now he would not leave. They also took this method to heart. How did they know that this was the magic weapon that Zhang Zhimu learned in his previous life to fight against the enemy.

Zhang Zhimu saw Chen Yufeng coming over and said, "Uncle Chen, let's go see Uncle Yan and his horse." Yang Yulin followed Zhang Zhimu without pulling a step.

Yan Boju and Li Mao were looking at the war horses captured yesterday, and when they saw Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng coming, they all greeted each other. Yan Boju had a horse, so he couldn't hold his mouth and said, "Zhimu, how many horses do you say we have now?" "A thousand." Zhang Zhimu replied. "You, your family business is big, and you don't even keep an account. You see, the whole number we brought out from the kiln is seven hundred and fifty, and there is also the red horse of Miss Yang Yulin. After passing the Tong Pass, I fought the bandits, and paid 72 horses, and yesterday I paid another 265 horses. lost seven horses for Lin Xinmin. Not counting now, Miss Yang's red horse already has one thousand and eighty horses. Yan Boju was disgusted. Zhang Zhimu said: "Isn't this in your charge, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Yesterday, I listened to you shouting, how these war horses are, and how they are different from those horses. Li Mao took over and said: "That's too different, the first is that if this horse is trained, the cavalry can fight when it is ridden, and it takes a long time to train it to become a war horse." Second, not all horses can be trained to be war horses, if you want to become a war horse, there are many conditions, some horses look good in that aspect, but even if they don't fit in, they can't become war horses, and they can't become war horses if they are easily frightened, in short, there are many conditions that can make horses be eliminated during training. Therefore, this captured war horse must not be mixed with those horses. In fact, I am not afraid, the trained horse, Yan Bo and I can see it at a glance, because the spirit of the horse is different. Don't let the two groups mix, just to make it easier to separate. Another reason is that in the eyes of Yan Bo and me, horses are hierarchical. I don't think I can put them together. When Zhang Zhimu heard that there were so many words, he asked: "Isn't the price different?" "Of course it's different, those who buy military horses would rather have one trained military horse than two raw horses." Li Mao said. Yan Boju said: "Needless to say, military horses, even those who pull carts and plough the land are willing to ask for good horses." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Yan, Brother Li, you and Li Wei will cross the river last, and Uncle Chen and I will go first." Zhang Zhimu asked the thirty new brothers to go first. In this way, Li Jing will not have to send the clothes to the river.

Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng came to the river, and saw that although there were many people who wanted to cross the river, under the command of Liu Wenbin and his dart masters, no one rushed forward, and the order was orderly. Zhang Zhimu said hello to them and crossed the river first. The boatman on the river said that he could directly enter the Yellow River from this river, Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng glanced at each other and did not speak.

As soon as she landed, Li Jing ran back. When he got off the horse, he panted and said, "This is a big deal." Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't worry, take a breath and say slowly, the sky hasn't fallen yet." Li Jing took a breath and told the story.

Li Jing and the others arrived in Shaanzhou, and as soon as the men army heard that they had come from Hangu Pass, they immediately sent someone to report to Lord Zhizhou. Lu Chengxiang and Li Jing didn't care too much, and continued to buy things in the city, asking which inn was bigger. As a result, none of the inns in the city could arrange for them and horses. After Li Jing finished buying clothes, she went out of the city with Lu Chengxiang to find a bigger inn. However, as soon as I arrived at the city gate, there were officials waiting at the city gate to say that Lord Zhizhou was invited. There was no way, and a few people came to the prefect's yamen. I didn't expect Lord Zhizhou to get up to greet him. It turned out that no one had left this trade route for a long time, and today Lu Chengxiang and they came over, it was a big deal, and the gate army did not dare to slack off, and immediately notified Lord Zhizhou, and the gate army added fuel and vinegar and said that they had killed a lot of thieves before they broke through. The prefect said that he must meet these people and ask what was going on.

Lu Chengxiang They didn't know what was going on, they thought they were in trouble. As a result, Zhizhou asked about it. Then Lu Chengxiang is so smart, so he said: "We rushed over, but we don't know how to fight with the thief army, and we will come over after a while, and you can ask us if you are in charge." ”

The governor asked, "Did you really kill the thieves?" "That's right, otherwise how would we be able to get by!" Lu Chengxiang replied.

"How many thieves did you kill?" The prefect still asked with a dead heart.

"I don't know, you ask us to be in charge!" Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, Zhizhou said: "Then I'll wait for the strong men, you must come to see me first when you are in charge." I'm going to take a good look at this hero. "Lu Chengxiang thinks it's really troublesome, we all have a problem, how can we have the time to accompany you to talk about it. The two led the people out of the city and found a large inn, which had a large courtyard behind it, where horses and goods could be placed. In such a place of transportation artery, there are generally such inns, for caravans to prepare inns, living is one thing, the most important thing is to have a place to put goods.

After arranging a place to live, Lu Chengxiang said to Li Jing: "Don't delay, go back quickly, send the clothes back, the most important thing is to tell Mr. Zhang how to deal with Zhizhou's questioning, and not to tell Zhizhou about our firearms." Li Jing hurried back.

When Zhang Zhimu heard this, he said: "It's okay, now Zizhizhou's gift doesn't need to be given." ”

After asking the brothers to change their clothes, Zhang Zhimu said, "Burn all the clothes, don't leave a trace." Zhang Zhimu looked at the thirty people who had been rejuvenated, and he was also very happy in his heart, and said in his heart, "This is the seed of my future cavalry." ”

Zhang Zhimu said to Chen Yufeng: "Let's hand them over here, let's go meet Lord Zhizhou." Chen Yufeng said: "You have thought about it, don't you really need to give some gifts?" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "No, look at me!" After saying that, after a little explanation, Zhang Zhimu and Chen Yufeng took Yang Yulin and Li Jing and rode their horses to Shaanzhou.

When the Shaanzhou Gate Army saw that Li Jing was leading people to ride their horses, they hurriedly removed the barricades. Zhang Zhimu and the others didn't get off, so they entered the city. Come to the Zhizhou Yamen and let the door be announced. After a while, Zhizhou is invited. Zhang Zhimu and others entered the lobby, and Zhizhou also got up to greet them. Zhang Zhimu hurriedly saluted and said: "Shanxi Xiurong businessman, I have seen Lord Zhizhou. Then, after Zhang Zhimu and the others sat down, they all sat down. Zhizhou couldn't wait to ask: "Heroes, how did you break through the interception of thieves and fight here from Hangu Pass, quickly talk to the official." Zhang Zhimu sighed lightly and started the time for him to tell the story again.

"My lord, this time it is not our family's credit, this time we have a total of three dart bureaus, and we are working together to protect the caravan rushing over. There is our Xiurong Huwei Dart Bureau, there are Hanguguan Sihai Dart Bureau and Jinan Fuzhen Yuan Dart Bureau. Along the way, we killed and injured many brothers. But if we don't all rush over, we will all be trapped in Hangu Pass. The caravan we came with was trapped for half a year at the longest. So we joined forces and fought to the death. We won the support of Li Jing, the garrison of Hangu Pass, and there were a few dead soldiers, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the thieves, putting ** on the suspension bridge of the thieves, lighting the fire twist, booming, blowing up the suspension bridge of the thieves, and then the shield bearers and archers cooperated to block the gate of the thieves, so that the thieves could not rush out, and then our caravan took the opportunity to rush over. When the caravan rushed over, the dart masters of several of our dart bureaus, as well as the archers, took advantage of the narrow mountain road to intercept the cavalry that consumed the thief soldiers. For a whole day, the brothers fought bloodily, and the thieves were fierce and relentless. We took advantage of the arrogant and arrogant characteristics of the thieves and underestimated the enemy, faked defeat, lured the thieves and cavalry to a dangerous area, pushed countless boulders on the mountain, pushed down the mountain, smashed most of the enemy soldiers, and messed up the formation, at this time, the dart masters of our three dart bureaus, led all the caravan people, whether merchants or porters, men and women, all rushed to kill together, a bloody battle, all annihilated the pursuers, but most of us are just ordinary people, this time desperately to survive, only to raise swords and guns, how can it compare to those tiger and wolf soldiers, so the casualties are not small, We were afraid of the reinforcements of the thieves behind us, so we hurriedly carried the dead and wounded brothers and retreated to you in Shaanzhou. This time, both goods and personnel were lost. However, this time the thieves were also greatly injured, and the adults should notify the nearby officials and soldiers to take the opportunity to destroy the thieves, so as to eliminate this harm for the people. ”
