Chapter 216: Look at the Birds
Tong Guan set off to envoy Liaoguo, so he naturally did not pass by Hebei East Road, but went to Hebei West Road, and he couldn't meet Zheng Zhi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zheng Yunzhong, a scholar of Duanming Palace, was the chief envoy, and Tong Guan was the deputy envoy. Zheng Yunzhong was in charge of formal correspondence, and Tong Guan was in charge of talks on military and political interests. It is also to do follow-up work for the Western Xia war.
Of course, Tong Guan was also insulted by personality in Liao, which indirectly led to Tong Guan becoming a staunch main battle faction, and also indirectly contributed to the maritime alliance of Song and Jin, and the north and south were sandwiched to destroy Liao.
Zheng Zhi sat on the horse in a strong suit, Lu Da Shijin was always by his side, Wu Song was also beside him, and Niu Da was with a dozen or so personal soldiers.
Now Han Shizhong has officially become a battalion commander in the army, Sun Shengchao has also joined the army as the head of the army, Lin Chong has also been the commander of the battalion, Wang Jin is basically responsible for the affairs of the army, and Yang Zhi has also been the head of the army, that is, even Shi Jin's apprentice Gai Yi, who has taken the position of the head of the brigade. and Lao Hu and Yu Dali are also battalion commanders.
The army is also preparing for recruitment, as well as the construction of armor, weapons, bows, crossbows, bed crossbows and other equipment.
This trip to Yanggu was only for Wu Song to solve some problems, but Zheng Zhi had another idea in his heart, and he also wanted to inquire about Shandong's private salt.
Conflicts of interests in the rivers and lakes are mostly resolved by fighting. Of course, after the fight, it was finally agreed at the negotiating table.
Shandong salt drying is prevalent, so it is natural to find a few good technicians.
For Cangzhou, starting to dry salt, the salt is too slow, and the salt pond is built, which is a waiting process, and it is natural to start boiling the salt first.
A group of more than a dozen people, all tall horses, all dressed in tight sleeves, and their belts also tied up their clothes without leaking a little wind, and everyone was either carrying wooden boxes or long cloth bags behind them.
But it was Wu Song who directly put a hand knife on his waist, obviously this Wu Song played with the hand knife is the most convenient, the hand knife is much less than the weapons in the army, and it is not troublesome to carry it on his body.
Everyone didn't go very fast, and it was Wu Song who had only practiced riding for seven or eight days, and he couldn't ride very proficiently. Even on that day, Wu Song was not in the military formation.
Out of Cangzhou, go to Dezhou, on the official road in Cangzhou, there is no longer a person with weapons on the road.
As soon as I entered Texas, it was really different, and I only got out of Cangzhou for a few miles, and I saw a group of seven or eight people carrying bright blades in front of me.
Zheng Zhi slowly slowed down his horse pace, and when he got closer, he slowly looked at this group of Jianghu people.
The person in front of the head carried a simple knife on his shoulder, and watched more than a dozen riders come slowly, and he didn't want to do much, but this horse kept looking at himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and said: "Look at a bird?" ”
Zheng Zhi also knew that his eyes were a little rude, but he couldn't listen to the disrespectful words, and said, "Are you going to Cangzhou?" ”
"If you go to this road, if you don't go to Cangzhou, where else can you go? What's the matter with you? The man replied. A few miles further forward on this official road is Cangzhou, and these people are still moving forward, so they naturally go to Cangzhou.
Zheng Zhi frowned and asked, "Do you know that Cangzhou is not allowed to enter with weapons?" Once discovered, but you have to be directly arrested and imprisoned? ”
When this person heard this, he looked at Zheng Zhi and the others, and naturally saw the weapon. laughed and said, "Haha... Recently, the rivers and lakes have said that this Cangzhou can't go, can't go, but I don't believe it, I have to go to see and see, see if you just came out of Cangzhou, but I met a few bird officials who were driven out? ”
This person's words were obviously a joke that Zheng Zhi and the others had no courage, and when they laughed, several people in the same group were also laughing, and most of them looked at the people on the horse with disdain.
Zheng Zhi shook his head, the people of the rivers and lakes are still the people of the rivers and lakes, where can they really be controlled so easily, it seems that the methods of the *** Lakers in Cangzhou will be more ruthless. only said: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears!" ”
After speaking, Zheng Zhi grabbed the horse's belly and continued to move forward.
But this person heard Zheng Zhi's words, and he was angry, and he also decided that these horse-beating people had no courage, and shouted: "Guts and rats, I really broke the faces of my grandfathers." ”
But it was only then that these words fell, and Luda beat his horse and came forward, the whip in his hand had already been drawn, and he opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "Straight mother thief, you dare to spray feces when talking to my brother." ”
With a scream, the man covered his already bleeding face, staggered up and looked up again, only to see that a dozen horsemen had already gotten up and ran past.
Waiting for a few people to react, they chased with weapons, but after chasing more than a dozen steps, they stopped, and only scolded and scolded. Where can the legs catch up with a four-legged horse?
Luda heard the abuse from a few people behind him, and asked with an angry face: "Brother, the Sprinkle family wants to teach them a lesson." ”
Zheng Zhi sat on the horse and shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's important to hurry, they have to suffer." ”
Luda thought about it, and this is also the truth, these people carry their blades into Cangzhou like this, as long as they go to the vicinity of the county seat, the men of the Western Army are not vegetarians! Naturally, there is bitterness.
Thinking of this, Luda turned his head and said angrily: "When Lao Tzu returns to Cangzhou, I will go to the prison to see a few of you dogs." ”
Luda really can't afford to lose, and this temperament has been cultivated more or less by Zheng Zhi's side, which means that when he comes back, he will go to the prison to teach these people a lesson.
Luda's words, several people didn't really hear it, still scolded loudly, and didn't see the dozen or so riders in front of them turn back, a few people looked at the official road back and forth, and were already struggling whether to go to Cangzhou or turn back to chase these horseback riders for revenge.
Yanggu County is in the westernmost part of Yunzhou, and Yanggu County is the boundary of the Daimyo Mansion to the west, and it is also the junction of Shandong and Hebei East Road.
Zheng Zhi led everyone to fight horses all the way, naturally he has been on the official road, although the trail can be closer, but the horses are inconvenient to walk.
Two days later, when they arrived at an intersection, Zheng Zhi stopped at the intersection, Wu Song looked up at the direction of the sun in the sky, pointed to a road on the left and said, "Xianggong, it should be this way." ”
Zheng Zhi also looked up at the sun and said, "Erlang, are you sure to go this way?" ”
Obviously, this Wu Song did not go all the way back to Shandong, and after hearing Zheng Zhi's questioning, he looked left and right and replied: "Xianggong, this is the road, it shouldn't be wrong, the direction is right, this side goes down to Bozhou!" ”
Zheng Zhi looked around, to the left of the road, it is a big slope, everyone hit horses to go up this slope, a huge tree came into view, this tree three or five people may not be able to embrace, it is dozens of meters high, and the crown width is huge.
Zheng Zhi was amazed, he had only seen such a big tree in the picture in his previous life, and said: "What a big tree, I'm afraid it's more than a thousand years old, this is really a good place!" ”
Everyone also stopped in front of the tree to see the strangeness, Weizhou has never seen a giant tree, Zheng Zhi also knows that this kind of giant tree, mostly in the southernmost tropical places can be seen, I really didn't expect Hebei to see it.
Not far from the tree, there is an inn, Zheng Zhi looked at the inn not far away, and said: "This is a good feng shui, and I have done business here, so I really know how to choose a place." ”
After speaking, Zheng Zhi slowly beat his horse and walked towards the inn, everyone followed behind, and looked back at the towering giant tree from time to time, which was really eye-opening.
Wu Song followed aside, his face slowly became puzzled, he looked back at the big tree, and then looked at the intersection below the slope, and seemed to remember something in his heart.
