"I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later, I'll go with you first to see what's going on." Shang Xiaocheng is not in a hurry, he is curious, and he is also a corner of the size of a trading company, and he is qualified to participate in these things.

Entering the inner room, his own team members handed over the secret letter that had not yet been opened, Zhiwen read it three times and divided five by two, but he was a little disappointed, he thought that Ma Er sent the letter, it should be that Zhou Chengyun was about to arrive, how did he know that this was not the case.

Seeing Shang Xiaocheng's probe in his head, he handed over the secret letter, "You can take a look too." ”

"Brother Zhi, do you want to send someone to reinforce Captain Li Dingguo?" Shang Xiaocheng asked eagerly after reading it.

Ma Erxin said that the inside line he had planted in Fan's mansion reported that the Fan family somehow found that Zhou Chengyun was about to go north to Baoanzhou, and he had already made people lobby the mountain bandits in the area of Xuanfu to Baoan, and promised them a lot of money to wait for an opportunity to attack.

"Do you think that with the strength of Dingguo's three hundred horsemen, they will take these mountain bandits who can't get on the stage in their eyes?" Zhiwen asked rhetorically.

This Fan Mansion inside line, naturally Zhang Xiao and Yu Da are the two, after Zhiwen learned about this, he was also very surprised, for the eight major grain merchants in northern Shanxi, they also buried nails in it, and praised Ma Erhao.

When Shang Xiaocheng heard this, he lowered his head coyly, "I'm going to eat." ”

Zhiwen confessed that this kid's mind was that he hadn't killed the ruffians at the gate of the trading house last time, and he wanted to take this opportunity to show his skills, but since Li Dingguo and so many Mongolian cavalry, it was not his turn to send people out here.

The Fan family doesn't know if there is a leak in the news, I don't know if Zhou Chengyun and his party are strong, or do they want to try their luck and be purely disgusting?

In Zhiwen's view, it is more likely that it is still the former, there must be someone in the Fan family in Jinyang, Zhou Chengyun's news and movements may have leaked there, Li Dingguo and others sent people thousands of miles away, and handed over to Governor Geng's people outside Jinyang City, this kind of thing must be hidden, and nine times out of ten they did not enter the city afterwards, and most of the Fan family spies did not know.

They may know that Zhang Zongbing will go all the way with Zhou Chengyun, but at most they will go to Datong, thinking that there will be a chance after this, and Zhiwen can only hehe about it.

Thinking of this, Zhiwen had some other ideas, as the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, of course it is not okay to kill innocents indiscriminately, but these bandits and robbers do not need to scruples, especially in Baoanzhou.

As soon as it entered August, it was time to shear sheep on the grassland outside the Saiwai, this time, Zhiwen didn't plan to do everything in a big way, not that he didn't want to go out of the customs, but his purpose this time was to focus on Eren Zhuoer Lake, which needed Zhou Chengyun's strong support, and he had to listen to his opinion.

As for exchanging grain for wool, let others hone it, you can't always become a mobile warehouse just because you have a system, it's a big deal to use horses to pull grain and wool, anyway, there are a lot of horses in the mountains, and you can change horses when you get to the grassland, and the transportation capacity is not worried.

It's just that there are dangers everywhere on the grassland, and before leaving the customs, it is just right for the team members to cooperate with the Mongolian cavalry to practice, and use these bandits and robbers to practice their hands, which can not only improve their combat power and tacit understanding, but also estimate that they can also make a small fortune.

Shang Xiaocheng, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Zhi, if you don't send reinforcements, then do you want people to inform Captain Li and them, so you can take precautions." ”

"What? Didn't Ma Er send someone? Zhiwen is a little strange, this kind of thing is still used to ask him, Ma Er can do it easily.

"I guess Second Brother Ma also thinks you want to send reinforcements." Shang Xiaocheng replied.

Zhiwen was a little puzzled, it seems that Shang Xiaocheng's performance just now was not only because of a strong desire to fight, looking at Shang Xiaocheng's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhiwen thought for a while, and then came back to his senses, without him, with Li Dingguo, there was also Lord Zhizhou He.

For thousands of years in Shenzhou, the consciousness of putting officials first has been ignored by Zhiwen intentionally or unintentionally, but others can't do it, even if they have deep confidence in Li Dingguo, they also feel that since this parent official is in danger, Zhuolushan still needs to reinforce it.

"Nonsense." Zhiwen muttered in a low voice, no matter what, Ma Er should find a way to remind Li Dingguo and his party as soon as possible, how could he not do what he should do just because he felt that reinforcements should be reinforced.

"How do you know?" Zhiwen asked Shang Xiaocheng.

"The messenger sent by Second Brother Ma said that he also asked me if I was going to fight."

"Where's the guy?"

"It should be in the dining room, I saw that he was tired and hungry, so I asked him to arrange for him to eat." Shang Xiaocheng replied.

"Then why didn't I see him just now?"

"Maybe it's a different place."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take me to him, let him go back to Ma Er after eating, and send someone to warn Dingguo as soon as possible."

The two drifted apart, and the voices faded away.

......

After Xuanhua, where Xuanfu is governed, Baoan Prefecture is already in sight, and there is a mountain between the two places, called Jiming.

It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, personally conquered the Eastern Turks, stationed on this mountain, and heard the sound of chickens crowing on the mountain at night, so it was called the Chicken Song Mountain.

Although this mountain is not famous, but since the beginning of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, began to continue to build temples and temples, it is said that there are one hundred and eight temples at the peak of the time, it is said that Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shengzong of Liao, Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Yuan Shun, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, etc., have all climbed this mountain, enjoy the scenery of the northern country.

However, in the first year of the year, there was a big earthquake in Jiming Mountain, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the temple was damaged a lot, although it was repaired, it was difficult to return to the scenery of the past, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, the common people could not even take care of their own mouths, where could they still manage these temples, the incense in Jiming Mountain was decaying day by day, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the past.

But even so, Jiming Mountain is also on the main road of Xuanfu and Baoan, and there are border troops to deter it, even if the mountain is deep and conducive to Tibetans, the people who come and go have never heard of bandits and robbers in the mountains.

If someone says that there will be bandits robbing and killing people in Jiming Mountain, they will listen to it, but they will leave with a smile and a short temper, maybe they will smack this person's face, saying that he is bewitching the public, in short, I don't believe that such a thing will happen in Jiming Mountain.

The new governor of Baozhou, Lord He Wenrui, heard such a warning at the beginning, and naturally he didn't believe it, but now on the side of the official road at the foot of Jiming Mountain, there are corpses all over the ground, and there are bandits kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, begging for mercy, so that Lord He has to believe that the warning from Zhuolu Trading Company is not untargeted.

He Wenrui's face is hot now, his expression is quite ugly, his assertion that "there are no bandits on Jiming Mountain" was nakedly slapped in the face, because he was resentful of these bandits, although the battle just now was not very risky, but he was still a little afraid, this is protected by the cavalry of Zhuolu Trading Company, if not, wouldn't he die before he left the army?
