Chapter 409: June Hiraoka
There is a bright starlight in the sky, paving a Milky Way, the fire of the Pinggang Baggage Camp and the Black Mountain Army and the Wolf Cavalry Army camp below is also like a river, corresponding to the silver belt in the sky, at this time, the Wuhuan army went north, and the 80,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Xianbei were also on the way to the south, the situation in the entire Liaodong became chaotic, the trade routes and trade between the south and the north were almost cut off, a large number of materials and caravans were stuck in Liucheng, some traders simply dumped on the spot, and even some started trading with the Han army in Pinggang.
A large number of goods that could be used were transported there, and herbs and prepared skins were exchanged for some cattle and sheep that had not yet been slaughtered, and the outside of the Hiraoka camp was turned into a trading area, which was very lively.
From here to the north and northeast, the procession of envoys carrying Gongsun Du's letter was already very close.
It's late afternoon.
After a burst of rain in the foothills, the mountain road became slippery and difficult to walk, in the distant mountains, the trees were watered by the rain, lush and green, the birds flew out of the nest and fell to the branches to comb their feathers, and a figure under the tree walked over, stood on a rock outside the forest, observed the road around the mountain, and then turned back.
Niutou Mountain is not big, the mountain is not steep and majestic, a few sections of undulating foothills past, it is a vast field, and then go west to see Pinggang, at this time stand on the top of the mountain, if the weather is good, maybe you can still vaguely see the stretching barracks, after the Xianbei people in the north go south, some poor small households probably still choose to flee, here the road can occasionally see a few groups of people in old clothes and patches dragging their families and hiding in the mountains.
"It's a few miles down the mountain."
The figure who explored the road returned to the team behind, and the man whispered to the person who led the team, and the silent team made a lot of breathing sounds, coming from Leyang, Liaoxi County, all the way to the nerves, vigilant everywhere, and now that they are almost at the destination, they can be regarded as being able to unload the errand.
"How far is it from the past?" The first one, with a thin body, two temples mixed with gray hair, the mountain road is inconvenient and has to lead the horse, he speaks and asks, his eyes are stern and have his own majesty. The escort who was exploring the path thought for a while, "Back to the long history, there are still more than eighty miles or so, do you want the team to continue walking now?" ”
"Let them rest for a while, and I'll go to the front with you." The man named Wang Lie handed the reins to the others and said, "Be careful if you lose something...... He swept his gaze over the crowd and turned to the front.
"Changshi, rest assured, we all know how powerful, just sit on the spot and rest and drink water, and will not move around without permission."
The guards and porters in the team thanked each other, and then sat down on the ground and stones one by one to rest and laugh. Wang Lie, as the long history of Liaodong, originally didn't need to make this trip, but it was related to whether Liaodong would ignite a war, and the Han people attacked each other, so they had to come over to meet Gongsun Zhi in person - although it was only to avoid Liaodong temporarily, but after staying for so many years, there were always some feelings.
The sun is slanting westward, and the light gradually turns yellow, showing the magnificence of this small mountain, which can only be seen in the north of the majestic magnificence, he sighed with emotion, the guard next to him was originally Wang Lie to avoid Dong Zhuo's rebellion and brought to Liaodong with the old man, at this time he spoke: "Changshi, why should we go on this trip, I heard that Gongsun Dudu has a violent temperament, and Dong Zhuo is not far behind." ”
"Don't be gullible about the exaggerations of the outside world. A horse thief from scratch, even with the support of the white horse general, can come to this day, so that the world can not be despised by the world, you say just a violent person? Wang Lie looked at the foothills with his hands, and at a certain moment, he laughed: "Actually, there is nothing left in Liaodong." ”
The guard's eyes widened, and his mouth was slightly open, unable to speak.
"It's good for Gongsun Du to defend one side, fight Haoqiang, and govern the people's livelihood, but after all, he is only the talent to defend one side, and he wants to be the king...... Ambition is greater than talent, you see that Yuan Shao has this heart in the four states, and he doesn't dare to say it, Cao Cao didn't show it when he held the three states, and the two wealthy clansmen of Jingzhou and Yizhou were even more conscientious, how could he want to be king? But when I go to Gongsun Zhi, I also want to avoid a war in Liaodong, so that the people will be displaced, and a good piece of land will be sparsely beaten, which is not what my Han family children should do, so avoid it if you can avoid it. ”
Wang Lie didn't know how Gongsun Zhi was a person, but during this time, the battle of White Wolf Mountain, the news of 20,000 broken 60,000 cavalry came to Liaodong, and the idea of wanting to see this person suddenly rose in his heart, after all, he started with one or two hundred horse thieves, and came to the point where he is now, every time he fights a lot of times, he wins more with less, as long as Gongsun stops having a brain fever from time to time and doing foolish things, the future of the world may not be......
Thoughts drifted for a while, occasionally the mountains can still see the fleeing people passing, Wang Lie also said hello to them, half a ring, he was about to go back to the team, the footsteps at the end of the mountain road in front of him came quickly here, a team of black leather armor, weapons in their hands soldiers ran over them quickly, someone stopped in the middle, looked at Wang Lie and the two.
"You don't look like a people fleeing."
"I'm from Liaodong." Wang Lie arched his hand at him, "I don't know ...... you"
"Don't ask, don't go west when you go down the mountain, it's a military stronghold, be careful of being shot to death as a spy with an arrow."
Wang Lie smiled, "I am an envoy of Liaodong, and I am asking your father-in-law to have something to do there." ”
The leader of the Black Mountain Army was silent for a moment, and looked at the two of them carefully, "Is there a certificate?" ”
"Naturally, it's the first time I've walked this mountain road, and I'm not familiar with the terrain, so why don't you send a guide and send us there?"
Wang Lie took the seal ribbon from the guards and handed it to the people of the Black Mountain Army on the opposite side, and the man looked at it in his hand for a while, and then returned it, holding the handle of the knife and arching it: "It turned out to be the long history of Liaodong, and it was rude just now." Immediately, he beckoned behind him: "Da Niu, come out, take this Changshi from Liaodong to the camp of the governor, if the wolf rider is questioned, don't pay attention, if someone dares to bully, go back and I will be angry for you!" ”
A soldier with a simple expression took over the task of being a guide, and then, the leader who spoke quickly disappeared into the mountain forest with the remaining dozens of Montenegrin soldiers.
On this day, Wang Lie descended the mountain, and when he arrived in Pinggang, it was already late at night, and he could not see the thirty-year-old Gongsun Zhi, who had sat down in the Governor of the Northland, so he had to rest in the arranged stone house for the night, and on the second day, as soon as the sky was light, he was woken up by the buzzing noise.
The sound of footsteps and loud shouts converged outside, opened the door and walked out, and the guards who followed next to him also went out and poked their heads out.
After that, the Gentiles who looked very different from the Han people also got up and lined up to go to the restaurant to get breakfast. Wang Lie felt fresh and strange about such a picture, before coming to the camp, it was dark, and he was sleepy, so he didn't look carefully here, but now he took advantage of the morning time to walk a small half of this baggage camp, not only has a strange architectural style, but also can see a deep drainage canal under the camp, leading the stream from the mountain to the camp and collecting it in the underground pool, and the full one is pulled to the military camp at the bottom of the mountain.
Stone house fire prevention, water and poison prevention.
"......" Wang Lie was silent and surprised to see all this, and even went to the soldier's dormitory to see it, and was finally driven out, only then did he feel a little rude, the camp basically walked through, the sky was already bright, and the team of soldiers who ran out before came back sweating profusely, and ate breakfast with a wolf's mouth.
Soldiers guarding the baggage...... With such a physique, good soldiers, it's a pity to stay here. As he walked outside, he naturally saw the soldiers inside with their chests open and sturdy and eating heavily, and he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that it was a bit of a waste to put it here.
The white clouds in the sky are long, it seems that it will be a weather today, Wang Lie returned to the house and someone brought the morning meal, after eating, he heard that Gongsun stopped at the foot of the mountain at the military camp to deal with something, inevitably curious, and took people out again, the white clouds drifted overhead, the temperature was pleasant, out of the gate overlooking Pinggang, the majestic momentum of the military camp stretching out, the horn sounded from time to time, and the figures of the soldiers walked through the end of the line of sight.
"Long history, it seems to be a little different." The henchmen have seen it, and they have seen the barracks.
"Huh?"
"Like, they're moving."
Wang Lie didn't understand military affairs, so he naturally couldn't see any difference, and when he heard the guard's words, he couldn't help frowning and clenching his fists. Soon after returning to the stone house, a huge figure in military uniform came to invite him.
"You are Wang Lie, the chief historian of Liaodong, right? Come with me, my lord will have time to see you. ”
