Three thousand iron horses, from Cangzhou to Jiangning Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, but this way down is not a tiring journey, it can be regarded as eating well and sleeping soundly, and there are party items and healthy horses on the road. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The morale of the soldiers is extremely full.

Of the 3,000 soldiers, 2,000 are party members under Mi Zhenwu, and only 1,000 are veterans of the Western Army. Zheng Zhi was not worried about Mi Zhenwu and these party members at all, the more he went south to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, the more these party members would be able to keep to themselves.

The army went all the way south, and the water system was vertical and horizontal, even in the territory of Jiangning Prefecture, there were many large and small rivers on the road. Naturally, the creeks and rivers are connected by bridges or directly wading through the water.

But there are still two slightly larger rivers, one is the Qinhuai River, and the other is Lishui. Lishui County is named after Lishui.

When crossing the Qinhuai River, there is also a large stone arch bridge, and it is extremely troublesome to cross the Lishui.

Zheng Zhi stood in front of Lishui, and the water surface of dozens of steps, although it was not wide, it was also blocking the way. Fortunately, Zheng Zhi was also a native of the Yangtze River basin in his last life. Therefore, the soldiers began to cut down wood and bamboo, and simply tied it with ropes, so that people and horses could cross the river.

Three thousand people is not too much, and the workload is not too much.

As soon as he crossed the river, Yan Qing, who had been rushing south, galloped back from the south, looking a little panicked, and stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, something is wrong, Lishui Zhixian is missing, obviously abandoned the city and fled." ”

Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, and didn't ask, "Where is the thief now?" Who guards Lishui? ”

"The city was just besieged, and a long ladder was being built, and now there are only two left in Lishui, with more than 100 military men and yacha." Yan Qing said again.

"Fuck, this magistrate knew that reinforcements were on the way, and he abandoned the city and fled. Those two are afraid that they will also open the city and surrender. Zheng Zhi didn't need to think much about it, and he knew what the situation was in his heart. Hurriedly turned around and said, "Order, everyone is moving forward at full speed." ”

The prefect of Hangzhou can abandon the city and flee, let alone a county of Lishui. Since ancient times, scholars have been divided into two extremes, one is invincible, with soft bones and no backbone. One sees death as home, leaving only Dan to take care of his sweat. The former is naturally a very large majority, such as Zhao Ting, the prefect of Hangzhou, and the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The latter is rare, such as Qu Yuan and Wen Tianxiang.

Under Zheng Zhi's seat, the unicorn beast opened its four hooves and continued to run wildly, at this time it was only thirty or forty miles away from Lishui County, but the thieves were already surrounded under the city.

If it arrives slowly, and when the people in Lishui County can't withstand the pressure to open the city and surrender, then it will be too late. If Zheng Zhi wants to attack the city again, the casualties will inevitably be light.

On both sides of the road, there is an endless stream of newcomers, all of whom have fled to the north, dragging their families with their mouths, carrying them on their shoulders, and carrying large bags and small bags. Seeing the arrival of a large group of knights, they all took refuge on both sides of the road.

The closer the road is to the county seat, the more spacious it is, and the four or five healthy horses lined up are also spacious. The speed of the army that crossed the Lishui River naturally became faster and faster.

Suddenly, three carriages came to him, Zheng Zhi was not mistaken, it was really a carriage, although the horses were short, but they were also carriages.

The carriage carriage was spacious, blocking the avenue directly.

Zheng Zhi was in a hurry to leave, and shouted: "Get out of the way, quickly!" ”

The distance is only a hundred steps, if he doesn't give way in front of his head, Zheng Zhi can only restrain the horse, otherwise he will hit a place.

Luda looked at the healthy horses coming in front of him, and also shouted: "Get out of the way of the Sprinkle family!" ”

Ruda's sound was like a bell, and it spread far away, and the three carriages in front of him really slowed down and were about to stop.

Zheng Zhizheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and he had to speed up even more when he picked up the horse's belly. But I saw that the three carriages suddenly started to pace again, and came towards each other impartially.

Startled, Zheng Zhi hurriedly grabbed the horse, and the galloping unicorn beast screamed again and again, stopped unsteadily, and staggered forward by inertia for twenty or thirty steps.

Then the whole queue was full of horses howling, and many horses also crashed into one place, but fortunately, the reaction distance was quite enough, and it did not cause people to turn over on their backs.

Zheng Zhi was furious, and his eyebrows were already fierce. He shouted, "Go and drag everyone out of that car." ”

Niu Da took more than a dozen soldiers on the left and right to beat the horses and went forward, and he was going to get people.

Wu Yong had been beside Zheng Zhi not far away, and at this time, he came forward and said, "Xianggong, if those three carriages come from Lishui County, they must be the missing magistrates. ”

Wu Yong is naturally extremely reasonable, and now Lishui County is more flustered than Jiangning. Who can still have three cars in hand, and all three are still carriages, except for the people of the county government, there can be no one else.

Zheng Zhitou didn't think much about it, but when he heard Wu Yong's words, he naturally understood in his heart, and he was even more angry, and he couldn't wait for Niu Da to bring someone over, so he went straight to the horse.

Niu Da arrived close with more than a dozen soldiers, and the healthy horse stopped the carriage, and the carriage had to stop, but the curtain of the carriage in front of the head was immediately lifted, revealing a man in his forties and fifties, who said: "Who is bold enough to dare to intercept the carriage of the government, and he is not quick to give way." ”

Niu Da didn't bother to reply, but when he saw that the carriage stopped, he immediately turned over and dismounted and walked to the carriage in front of him, his face was already hideous. After so many battles, how could he ever encounter such a thing, when marching, even the small kind of Jingluo Xianggong will also give way to the side of the road, even Tong Guan also knows how to give way and cavalry, but in this land south of the Yangtze River, there are still people who want the soldiers to give way first, and there are even people who let their own officials give way, in Niu Da's view, this is the face problem of their own officials.

The man in the car saw the soldier in front of him walking towards him with a hideous face, and hurriedly scolded: "Bold, I am Lishui Zhixian, how dare you thieves be rude, call your general, and see if he doesn't want to be an official." ”

This Lishui Zhixian in one sentence exhausts the inequality between the civil and military forces of the entire Great Song Dynasty. That is, the Privy Council and the front secretary of the palace are all civil officials, all of them are Jinshi and first, and the literati want to trouble the martial arts, and they can find a classmate of the Privy Council at will, and they can take the politics of ordinary martial artists.

This is the gap between civil and military, the name is as big as Di Qing, in the hearts of the frontier soldiers and the people, the reputation is shocking! It is also necessary to endure the constraints of the literati everywhere and end up depressed. Where can ordinary warriors get into the eyes of these people who read the books of sages.

In this Jiangnan, not to mention, the warriors almost have no sense of existence, like the status of the officials in the yamen. It's not even as good as being treated by the officials, at least the officials still have some real power. When it comes to getting paid and paid, you will be despised everywhere, and it is not a problem to deduct cards.

In this way, where will there be a soldier with a big black letter tattooed on his face to kill the enemy?

Niu Da was already angry, and quickened his pace and went to the carriage, and the groom saw such a fierce god walking forward quickly, and he had to stretch out his hand to stop him.

Niu Da punched and scolded: "Straight mother thief, get out of the way!"

This groom is also a drudger, and he also has the strength of two arms, but he was beaten from the side of the carriage to the side of the carriage by Niu Da's punch, and he dared to get up in a drowsy state.

"Dog thing, such a big dog guts, this county will definitely send someone to ask you for the crime and send you to Cangzhou Prison City!" In the face of the anti-thief, the county was afraid to abandon the city and flee, and in the face of the officers and soldiers, the county was very angry in his heart, but he was high up and had no weakness at all.

Cangzhou Prison City is naturally a place where prisoners are distributed in Bianliang, Kaifeng and other places. Jiangnan sentenced convicts, and most of them were distributed to the south. Cangzhou, which was dispatched from the south of the Yangtze River to the bitter cold land of the north, was already one of the most powerful means under the death penalty.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu just came from Cangzhou, and I really want to go back." Niu Da laughed miserably and said, with a hideous smile on his face, becoming more and more terrifying. Reaching out, he grabbed the arm of the magistrate pointing at him and pulled it down.

Where can Zhixian withstand Niu Da's strength, he has already fallen from the carriage and fell to the ground and fell to the ground with a dog gnawing mud. The curtain of the car was wide open, and there were three women inside, silk and satin, and two teenagers.

Na Zhixian fell to the ground and fell to the ground, but he hurriedly tried to get up with his hands and feet.

Niu Da stretched out his right foot, stomped it down fiercely, and with a miserable howl, the magistrate immediately spread his hands and feet and lay on the ground.

A few people in the carriage were just stunned, but they came back to their senses and all went down to the carriage.

The soldier next to him stepped forward, grabbed one of them, and pressed it to the ground. Suddenly there was a cry.

"Dog thief, my father is the magistrate of Lishui County, an official of the imperial court, how can you wait...

"Bang" twice, the military man's huge slap came down, and immediately stopped the young man's shouting.

At this time, Zheng Zhima had just approached and asked, "Niu Da, who is this?" ”

"Official, this person said that it was Lishui County." While Niu Da was talking, he also stepped on the person on the ground with his foot.

The man screamed again, looked up at Zheng Zhi, and naturally knew that Zheng Zhi was the official of this group of soldiers, and scolded again: "Where are you a soldier, so you bully the imperial court officials, but you don't want to live?" ”

Zheng Zhi did not dismount, and asked rhetorically: "As the chief official of a county, you obviously know that there are reinforcements coming from Jiangning City, why don't you pacify the people and organize defense in the city, but abandon the city and flee?" ”

"This county does things, how can you allow a thief to be a thief with the army to point fingers, today you are so deceiving me, this matter is not over, wait for me to sue Jiangning Mansion, sue to Tokyo City, teach you to look good." Even if this magistrate was trampled under the feet of the cow, he saw that Zheng Zhi was still dancing, and there was no emptiness in his tone.

Zheng Zhi frowned twice, and scolded: "it, pull this guy to the side of the road and cut it!" ”

Zheng Zhi was a soldier in the two lifetimes, how could he stand such a person, and even blurted out the swear words in the army in his previous life. Even a Qin Hui Zheng Zhi can't stand it, Qin Hui is still just a left secretary, and he hasn't done anything harmful. At this time, this person who abandoned the city and fled without any guilt was in front of him, Zheng Zhi's anger was surging, and only by killing people could he relieve the hatred in his heart.

Scholars should have built a country and prospered the country, should have changed the fate of the people with their own knowledge, and should have great ambitions to show their ambitions for the country and the people. And now this scholar, all of whom are called sages, is either Confucius or Mencius. I wonder if the whole text of the Analects is educating these readers to run away from the battle and be selfish?
