Zheng Zhi looked up at the sky, the clouds were low and black, which was a sign of rain, turned around, looked at Luda's eager appearance, and said only one sentence: "Enter the city!" ”

Luda seemed to be addicted to robbing the treasury, and he was excited to beat the horse and leave, and Zheng Zhi also urged the horse to step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info 3,000 iron armor attracted countless people, and everyone at the city gate paid attention.

Several defenders of the city saw a group of men and horses rushing towards the city gate, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Everyone approached the city gate, and naturally slowed down the speed of the horse, Zheng Zhi walked to the head, his eyes had already looked into Jiangning City, Jiangning Mansion was in this Jiangning City, Zheng Zhi was also very curious in his heart, and he also wanted to see what the prosperous Jiangning City of the Great Song Dynasty looked like.

Looking inside from the city gate hole, you can see the white walls and black tiles, the corners of the walls are flying, and the shops on the left and right are full of people. But there is no familiar sound of selling in Bianliang, and there are many fewer pedestrians shouting, more of a quiet and peaceful, and prosperous and busy.

The guard stepped forward and said, "I don't know which officer has arrived?" If you miss the distance, you hope to forgive your sins. ”

The soldiers guarding the city have obviously seen the world, and there are generally Shangguan visits, most of whom are known in advance, and suddenly encounter such a powerful horse team, but they are also polite and courteous, and there is a basis for advancing and retreating.

Zheng Zhi listened to the words, glanced at the soldier next to the horse, and also had doubts in his heart, Zheng Zhi, who was a man in two lifetimes, went to the ground of Nanjing (Jiangning Mansion) for the first time, and always thought that this Nanjing spoke the soft language of Wu Nong, and at this time he could hear the accent of this soldier, and he could understand it completely, which was obviously far from the soft language of Wu Nong, and a trace of the northern taste could be heard in the accent.

It's no wonder that Zheng Zhi has no knowledge, it's really too big in China, where can Zheng Zhi know everything thoroughly as a military man.

"Which way is the Jiangning Mansion going?" Zheng Zhi kept walking, asked casually, and his eyes were in Jiangning City again.

The moss in the corners, the patterns on the walls, the carvings on the panes, and the auspiciousness on the door beams are all very fine and meticulous.

The carved railings and jade masonry in Li Yu's words are really true, and the place that Bianjing can't compare with is the delicacy of this city. Delicacy is not only the appearance of the appearance, but also the human heart, a delicate heart, in order to build such a city, and live a delicate life.

"Shangguan, please, the little head leads the way, and the government office is in the middle of this avenue, and you can get there in two moments." The soldier hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, and threw down the reins and this soldier. The soldier hurriedly took the reins and led his horse forward. There is a shoe nailed under the horse's hooves, and the horseshoe knocks on the street of this green history, rattling, and thousands of horses' hooves slowly enter the city, and the sound is good.

Zheng Zhi looked left and right slowly, and saw a few men constantly raising big wooden hammers to hit something in front of a shop, so he looked at it a few more times, and then he knew it, but he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.

The soldier leading the horse was very exquisite, and hurriedly smiled: "Shangguan, this is a rice cake, made of Jiang rice, and Jiang rice is a kind of glutinous rice." The rice cake is soft and smooth, it is delicious, do you want to buy a little smaller? ”

Zheng Zhi heard the words of this soldier, and said with a smile: "It's okay to buy some to taste, this thing is also available in a certain hometown, but I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Zheng Zhi's hometown is naturally Hubei, the hometown of his previous life, and there are naturally rice cakes in Hubei. But this soldier saw a lot of merchants, and when he heard Zheng Zhi's northwest accent, he couldn't help but wonder a little, how could there be rice cakes in this northwest, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he loosened the reins and ran straight to the shop on the side of the road.

There are also rice cakes in the northwest, but they are not made of glutinous rice, but millet and soft yellow rice as raw materials.

Zheng Zhi saw that this soldier went to buy rice cakes, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't given this soldier any money, so he hurriedly waved his hand to Zhu Long, who was not far behind.

Zhu Long stepped forward and heard Zheng Zhi asking for money, and when he took it out of his arms, it was a small ingot of silver. After Zheng Zhi took it, the soldier ran back.

"Shangguan tasted it, it just came out of the pot, and it was still hot." The soldier bought a few rice cakes with his own money, put them on a piece of yellow paper, and handed them to Zheng Zhi with his hand.

Zheng Zhi stretched out his hand to take the white rice cake, and the rice cake was steaming. He threw down the ingot again.

The soldier took the silver ingot thrown by Zheng Zhi, smiled happily, and did not refuse, stretched out his hand to pull the reins and walked forward, and said straightly: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Zheng Zhi couldn't wait to eat a bite, a little hot, but he also chewed a few bites and swallowed it, laughing and said: "It's still like this, it's really sweet." It's exactly the same as what I ate when I was a kid. ”

Jiangning's rice cakes and Hubei's rice cakes naturally taste similar, because the raw materials and methods are similar.

This sentence made Luda beside him interested, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask for it, and said, "Brother, hurry up and try it with the Sprinkle family." ”

Zheng Zhi handed over the rice cake in his hand, Luda took it, ate it, and said straight in his mouth: "It's so hot, it's hot, it doesn't taste bad, it's just different from what I ate when I was a child." Brother, have you forgotten the taste of Weizhou rice cakes? ”

Zheng Zhi smiled and shook his head, and didn't explain, but just reached out to pick up the rice cake in Luda's hand again. After taking it, he opened his mouth and instructed behind him: "Zhu Long, buy a copy of this rice cake for each of the brothers, the taste is really sweet." ”

Zhu Long naturally took people off the horse to do this, and the logistics always had to take care of these miscellaneous things.

At this moment, two horses came running from the opposite side, riding low horses under their seats, but the horses were galloping fast on the crowded streets, frightening pedestrians on the left and right to dodge.

I heard the two of them shouting, "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly." ”

When the soldier who was originally leading the horse heard this, he loosened the reins and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and shouted in his mouth: "Wu Dutou, what happened?" ”

It was this shout that saw the horses in front of the head suddenly stop and slow down, stop their horses in front of the head, and say to the soldier who came forward to meet them: "Captain Yan, you don't guard the gate, what are you doing here, why don't you go back quickly and close the gate of the city." ”

Zheng Zhi looked at this soldier again, but he really didn't expect this person to be a team leader.

"Wu Dutou, what happened, why did you suddenly close the city gate in broad daylight?"

"The seven Buddhas under the anti-thief Fang La, with the thief soldiers have broken through Xuanzhou (Xuancheng), and the anti-thief pioneer Shi Bao has entered the territory of Jiangning Mansion. Don't hurry up and close the gates. This Wu Dutou spoke, and the pony also galloped, passing Zheng Zhi and going straight to the north city gate.

When Team Yan heard this, his face was shocked, he turned his head to look at Zheng Zhi, and arched his hand and said: "Shangguan, you keep walking along the main road, and you will be able to see the yamen in less than two moments, and the small ones will not be sent." ”

After Team Yan finished speaking, he left, and Zheng Zhi also arched his hand slightly, and hit the horse forward. With his hands frustrated in front of his chest, he turned back to Luda and said, "Luda, I won't move this treasury today, I have already arrived at the battlefield." ”

Luda said with a regretful face: "Brother, if you look at Jiangning, it looks more prosperous than Bianliang, and the money in the treasury must be piled up." ”

Zheng Zhi waved his hand and said: "That's it, let's go and move the treasury of Hangzhou City, the treasury of Hangzhou City is really piled up at this time, and ten Jiangning can't compare." ”

Luda didn't believe it, and said, "Brother, is Hangzhou City richer than ten Jiangning?"

"It's not that Hangzhou is richer than ten Jiangning, it's that this Fang La is richer than a Jiangning treasury, Fang La broke Hangzhou, how can he not search the sky and scrape the ground? I'm afraid that all the money in Hangzhou City will belong to Fang La. "Zheng Zhi said that it is naturally extremely reasonable, Fang La's destruction of Hangzhou, is it not because of Hangzhou's wealth, there are naturally soldiers and generals if there is money and food, and it can also build armaments.

"My brother is right, this Fang La must have made a fortune, and he is richer than Song Jiang, so the Sprinkle family went to help Fang La for his brother." Ruda is already gearing up.

Zheng Zhi walked slowly, and on both sides of the street, pedestrians suddenly came and went in a hurry, and most of the people in Jiangning were afraid that most of them knew the news. Xuanzhou to Jiangning, three hundred miles, at this time, if Shi Bao, the pioneer of Fang Qifo, entered the territory of Jiangning Mansion, it would be less than two hundred miles to Jiangning City.

Zheng Zhi's hand holding the reins tightened slightly, and said, "It's time for a war, so tell the brothers to be clever and go back to Cangzhou with me." ”

"Brother, you can rest assured that it is not a matter of getting caught to kill a thief." Luda obviously didn't understand the sigh and deep meaning in Zheng Zhi's words.

Soon after, this Jiangning Mansion was in front of him, and many people gathered in front of the Mansion Yamen, that is, Wang Hanzhi, the prefect of Jiangning, also arrived at the entrance of the Yaya. The soldiers in soapy clothes and felt hats, and the officials with wide sleeves and heads, crowded the entrance of the Jiangning Mansion. It makes people feel an unusual depression and tension.

Zheng Zhi came from the street, saw such a scene, and stopped the horses. All the soldiers stopped the horses' hooves, and there was no room for horses to pass through the gate.

Everyone at the entrance of the yamen also saw this team of iron armor, although they couldn't see how much, but this team of iron armor suddenly appeared, as if sending charcoal in the snow, the whole audience was agitated for a moment, and everyone walked here.

The old man who walked briskly in front of him was Wang Hanzhi, who was sixty-six or seventeen years old, and he was already a little old.

Zheng Zhi also hurried to greet him, this old man Zheng Zhi was still a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he only said: "Zheng Zhi, the envoy of the four states of Xiahebei, is the prefect of Jiangning in person?" ”

"The old man Wang Han is polite! Zheng Xianggong arrived in Jiangning at this time, it was really a charcoal in the snow, and with Zheng Xianggong here, Jiangning was worry-free. Wang Hanzhi was also polite, and his face was full of joy. Why does Wang Hanzhi need people? A few years ago, he was still a waiter in the Ministry of Industry of Shangshu Province, and he went to Liao with Tong Guan. Zheng Zhi and this Wang Hanzhi really had a relationship, that is, when they were in the courtyard of Cai Jingfu, Wang Han stepped forward to greet Tong Guan, and the two had a hurried glance.

Zheng Zhi naturally didn't recognize Wang Hanzhi, but Wang Hanzhi recognized Zheng Zhi, just because Zheng Zhi was too chic in the limelight in Caijing's Mansion in Tokyo. When Tokyo was sacrificed, Zheng Zhi's name also spread.

"Wang Xianggong is polite, where have you and I ever met?" Zheng Zhi said bluntly.

"Haha... Zheng Xianggong has a good memory, when I was in Taishi Cai's mansion, you and I met once. Later, the old man went to Liao with Tong Shumi, and then went to Jiangnan. Wang Hanzhi's words slightly mentioned Tong Guan, and naturally he also knew that Zheng Zhi was Tong Guan's cronies, and he was also making friends at this time.

If one of the kings and Hans really mentioned Tong Guan, Zheng Zhi smiled on his face and said politely: "Wang Xianggong, I am ordered by the Privy Council to lead troops south to suppress thieves, and I also ask Xianggong to arrange the food and lodging of his brothers." ”

Wang Hanzhi would excuse himself, and said busily: "Of course, the old man will arrange it later." The old man in front of the head is still anxious, at this time Zheng Xianggong is here with the troops, the old man should sit back and relax, Zheng Xianggong is invited! ”

Wang Hanzhi, who was in his sixties, invited, Zheng Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two walked side by side to the yamen, and after passing the threshold, Zheng Zhi asked: "Wang Xianggong, I don't know what the situation in Hangzhou is now?" ”

"Alas... The thieves are very powerful, Hangzhou has now fallen into the hands of thieves, and the two Zhejiang systems have made Chen Jian die in battle, and Zhao Yue has died in battle. Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, abandoned the city and fled, and his whereabouts are now unknown. Xuanzhou, Guangde, Shezhou, Muzhou, and Hangzhou have all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and now this Fang La pioneer Shibao has entered the territory of Jiangning Mansion in the north, fortunately Zheng Xianggong came, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it. Wang Hanzhi's words sighed for a long time.

"General Yang Keshi can pass Jiangning?" Zheng Zhi suddenly remembered Yang Keshi, who had set off two days earlier, and asked.

"General Yang Keshi passed by Jiangning by boat a few days ago, and now I don't know where the old man is, but there are not many generals around General Yang, so I am happy to transfer troops to Changzhou, Suzhou and other places at this time." Wang Hanzhi's heart was a lot more relaxed at this time, and he also knew that Zheng Zhi, who had just arrived in Jiangning, was different from others, he was a brave and brave general, and with Zheng Zhi to help, Wang Hanzhi's heart was a lot more stable.

Zheng Zhi thought for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Near Jiangnan, where else are the generals available?" ”

"Alas... Where are there any available soldiers in Jiangnan, I originally thought that Guo Shizhong could be a thief soldier, but it was a complete defeat and the whole army was wiped out. Now that I think about it, there is only one person who may be able to fight with the thief, that is, Wang Yu, the observer of Wuzhou, if Wang Yu is not successful, there will be no soldiers in Jiangnan and Zhejiang. When Wang Hanzhi talked about this topic, he felt powerless all over his body.

Zheng Zhi frowned even more, his 3,000 cavalry entered Jiangnan, if Jiangnan had no soldiers to cooperate, how could he fight Fangla, could it be that one state and one city would attack? Or go straight to Hangzhou for a decisive battle?

This battle was really much more complicated than the Battle of Western Xia, and more than ten times more complicated than the extermination of Song Jiang. It's not as simple as it seems.
