Chapter 14: Hu Bing, the Dust Offender (II)
"It turns out that it's really Brother Nineteen's classmate! ...... "This time it was Wang Sunchen's turn to be surprised, he thought that Han Gang's claim to be a disciple of Hengqu was just boasting, otherwise he would have started to pull the relationship a long time ago." But he didn't expect Han Gang to report the name and character of the nineteenth brother, and he was really a classmate of the nineteenth brother.
Han Gang smiled, Wang Sunchen's previous suspicion and current surprise, he saw it in his eyes, "It is said that it is a classmate, but in fact, it is not very close, Mr. has many disciples, and I have never spoken a word to Uncle Yi." Han is a nerd, he is taught during the day, and he goes back to copy books at night, and there are really not many close classmates. ”
"That's also a classmate...... Wang Sunchen patted his chest boldly, "Xiucai, don't worry, since you are a classmate of Brother Nineteen, you are not an outsider." The other Sprinklers didn't dare to say it, but the two birds outside, the Sprinkler family kept them and didn't want to make any tricks along the way. ”
Han Gang bowed his head and thanked him, Wang Sunchen assured that he would be at ease in the past few days.
With the relationship between the two of them, they feel much closer. After raising a glass and drinking three cups with Wang Sunchen, Han Gang suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, general." There is something I want to ask, is there a big name called a teacher in the family now? ”
Wang Sunchen thought for a moment and shook his head: "No." ”
"Are you sure you haven't?"
"Of course, except for the newly born in the past two years, the rest of the Seed Family knows that there is definitely no one named Seed Master Dao. It is the twenty-third of the Qilang family, that is, the sibling brother of the nineteenth brother, named Shizhong. The name is a bit similar, but he is only thirteen years old...... [Note 1]"
……………………
After resting overnight in Longcheng County, Han Gang and others got up the next day just after the three watches and two drums. After a casual bite to eat, I set off again, turning northwest. In the pre-dawn darkness, several torches lit the way. What is rolling and flowing on his side is no longer by water, but by the more turbulent and turbid water. This day is a journey along the Wei River, the mountain road is narrow, and it is extremely difficult to walk. However, one thing to be thankful for is that it looked like it was going to snow in the sky, but it did not fall after the darkest, but cleared.
In his opinion, in the four-day journey from Qinzhou to Gangu, the first day is Tongqu Avenue, and the fourth day is not dangerous to walk in the well-guarded Gangu. The only things that can go wrong are the second and third trips. But nothing happened along the way, and they arrived at their destination Sanyang Village smoothly. In the past two days, Xue and Dong have been following the team very honestly, and Han Gang deliberately joined forces with Wang Sunchen to rectify them several times, but both of them endured it.
Looking at the reactions of the two, Han Gang became more and more sure that the danger was indeed getting closer and closer. With Wang Sunchen on the side and several lives in hand, Dong Chao and Xue Twenty-eight are still very confident, so the only possibility is that they still have foreign aid.
On the third day after departure, it was three more to set off, starting from Sanyang Village, taking a few hours to cross the canyon mountain road, and arriving at Sunset Town [Today's Water Xinyang Township] at noon. The group found a place on the edge of the town where the sun was shining and stopped to rest.
Located in a basin surrounded by mountains, the town is a rare flat dam in this section of the Wei River, and many caravans pass by here, forming a prosperous town. And five miles to the northwest, there is also a sunset town, where a commanded forbidden army is stationed, which is used as a defense.
Wang Sunchen sat on the mule cart with a golden sword, rubbing his ankles. Although he is a cavalryman, war horses are rare, and he is reluctant to ride more and consume horsepower. He rubbed his feet and said, "When I arrived in Sunset Town, I was already halfway through today's journey." Rest for a while, pass Peixia a little faster, and you can rest when you arrive at Fuqiang City. ”
Han Gang was standing, he looked at the mouth of Peixia Gorge in the west, and frowned: "If you want to talk about danger, several canyons along our road are the most dangerous in Peixia, if any thieves want to rob the road, it will only be in Peixia." ”
"Han Xiucai, what are you talking about?" Wang Sunchen smiled and said, "Robbing the road? Who dares! ”
Han Gang glanced sideways at Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao, who were hiding more than twenty steps away, "Han killed Liu San and the others, and forced Huang Da Ma to commit suicide, in order to close the case as soon as possible, Chen Ju spent tens of thousands of yuan. He hated me to the core, and it was impossible for me Han Gangan to safely transport this batch of military funds to Gangu City......"
Wang Sunsin didn't care: "What are you afraid of." If Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao want to be ghosts, the Sprinkle family will help Xiucai find an excuse to kill them! It just so happens that the Peixia River is narrow and the water is urgent, so it is enough to report a misstep. On the contrary, after arriving in Gangu City, Xiucai, you should be careful. ”
Of course, Han Gang knew that there would be no one without Chen Ju in Gangu City, but when he arrived in Gangu City, it was impossible for Chen Ju not to worry about what Han Gang might have. After several encounters, Chen Ju hadn't been able to take advantage of Han Gang, if he thought that he could use his own people in Gangu City to solve Han Sanxiucai, he would be too arrogant. No matter how you say it, Han Gang is a respected scholar in the world, and he will not care about this, only the ignorant and ignorant people.
Choose one of the two and pick out a solution to solve Han Sanxiucai's henchmanship, Chen Ju may have to consider one or two. But one is a two-pronged approach, and the other is relying only on allies in Gangu City, so there is no need to think about it. One more means, one more insurance, Han Gang, who has been secretly staring at Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao, is now ninety percent sure that there is an ambush in Pei Xia.
"Chen Ju's subordinates are not only Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao, I heard that he can also drive the Tibetan people." Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, since Han Gang has formed a mortal enmity with Chen Ju, it has taken a lot of effort to find out Chen Ju's information, "The Chen family's shop has done a lot of business with several people on the mountains west of Qinzhou, and there is never a shortage of private salt and tea. ”
The mountainous area to the west of Qinzhou is actually the watershed between the water and the Weishui. If there is no such watershed, the straight-line distance between Qinzhou and Sunset Town is only more than 30 miles, and there is no need to detour for two days. Therefore, the location of Fanluo, who has been trading with Chen Ju all year round, should be on the mountain directly south of Pei Xia.
Wang Sunchen laughed twice: "Xiucai thinks too much." It's just a legend, no one has ever seen it! He pointed around again, "What's more, military resources are not easy to rob, even if those thieves have the courage, they don't have the ability." ”
From Qinzhou to Gangu, except for some winding mountain roads, are three feet and five feet of military gallop road, less than two hundred miles, there are five large walled cities along the way, small forts, beacon towers can be seen where you raise your eyes, and the troops stationed in the walled forts add up to 30,000 people. It was a line of defense consisting of a series of walled forts, with a depth of up to 100 miles, and its defensive power was no worse than that of the Great Wall, but it was more aggressive. This walled fort defense line stretched for 2,000 miles, and the Song people took more than 100 years to complete it, but it was enough to make the iron harriers of Western Xia look at the hinterland of Guanzhong and sigh.
"You have to be careful...... When we went out of the city, Chen Ju was watching from the city tower. There are military generals to shelter you, and Han doesn't need to worry about Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao anymore. If Chen Ju wants to kill me, it will be too late for me to enter Gangu City. Han didn't believe that he could watch the generals you go on the road with me, and he could still put the treasure on Xue Dong and the others...... It is very likely that Chen Ju will inform him of the familiar Fan Luo and rob him on the road.
There is no problem at all with the walled fort to defend against Western Xia along the way, but when it comes to the Tibetan people, you also know the generals, how many Tibetan people are walking on this road on weekdays? ! Not to mention anything else, what did the prime minister sit in Longcheng County some time ago? It's not because there are 4,000 stone of grain that they were robbed by the Fan people on the road to the cage city! ”
"It's better!" Wang Sunchen's eyebrows were raised, he rubbed his hands, and he was so excited that he couldn't express his feelings without scolding a few sentences, "Damn it, if Chen Ju can give some credit to the Sprinkle family, the Sprinkler family will not be polite!" ”
……………………
Along the Weishui River, the so-called canyon is a loess ditch cut by the current, and there are countless small ditches arranged like ribs on both sides of a large ditch, and there are many [long live harmony] capillary ditches on both sides of the small ditch. A piece of the Loess Plateau has been washed away into thousands of hills, and there is no grass in many places. However, on both sides of Pei Gorge at this time, there are not a few trees, and the clusters are dense, extending from the east side of the gorge to the west side of the gorge.
Pei Gorge is not very long, only less than twenty miles, but it takes nearly two hours to catch a car along the mountain road on the bank of the river. Walking in the center of the queue, Han Gang carried a hunting bow with six or seven fighting strengths—before leaving, Han Qianliu handed him not only money, but also the old bow after maintaining it once and changing the strings and sending it over—he looked up from time to time at the ravines and dense forests on both sides of the valley, where people could hide.
"Cheer me up and go faster. There are thieves here! Han Gang urged his subordinates. Wang Sunchen was overconfident, but Han Gang was cautious, if he really came to rob the Dao, even if he only broke the altar of wine, it would be a troublesome thing to get to Gangu.
No one dared to say that Han Gang was not, but the people all shook their heads secretly, only thinking that Han Xiucai was too much. But there is never a worst, only a worse, and things will always go worse.
"There are thieves!" I don't know who shouted in front. The next moment, in the forest on the side of the road ahead, a group of people armed with bows and arrows and long knives suddenly came out. These people moved extremely fast, rushed out of the forest in a few steps, jumped onto the official road, and rushed directly to kill.
The people trembled, and their eyes were different when they looked at Han Gang, and they all complained in their hearts: "This show is the mouth of the salt sauce, as soon as you talk about the thief, the thief will come." ’
"I'm afraid there are forty or fifty people." Han Gang's face was extremely solemn, and Chen Ju's influence exceeded his imagination. Forty or fifty people doesn't sound like much, but this number of thieves appeared on the main roads of the front line, and it could even alarm Li Shizhong. If the identity of the thieves is revealed, their tribes may be regarded as rebels and cleared by the officials and soldiers, which is not without precedent. When Cao Wei and Cao Taiwei were guarding the border, they used this crime to destroy many Tibetan tribes. I don't know what wish Chen Ju gave them, and they were so reckless?!
Han Gang glanced at Xue Twenty-eight and Dong Chao, who couldn't see any panic on his side, and a white feather arrow immediately caught the bowstring, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"
"Bird thief!" Wang Sunchen shouted, raised his bow in his hand, and raised his eyebrows, "The one who sent the credit is here!" ”
Note 1: Planting in the construction is the way of the teacher. The reason why he changed his name was because he wanted to avoid the name of Huizong and the establishment of Yasukuni. Before Huizong ascended the throne, there was no such thing as the name "Seed Master".
ps: Sure enough, someone guessed right. Planting in the construction is the future of the planting master. The old man was just a hairy boy at this time, and his name was always in the construction of the Song Dynasty before it was changed because he wanted to avoid the Yasukuni era name of Song Huizong. In the Shenzong Dynasty, it was impossible for the name Seed Master Dao to appear.
