Xuzhou City

Chen Tianyu suddenly realized that there were still these Dao Dao in his heart, and it seemed that although he had knowledge beyond the hundreds of years of this era, he still had a lot of things to learn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info arched his hands towards Xue Boyi at the moment, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I brought Brother Xue by my side, otherwise I would have rashly brought these war horses to the north, and I would really be making trouble for myself." ”

Xue Boyi said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi is a person who does big things, such trivial things, just leave them to do in the future, otherwise what's the use of me?" He turned his head and asked the old man, "You are going to the south, but there is anyone to take refuge?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No." Our ancestors were born in Chuzhou for generations, (Note: that is, a district of Huai'an, which is a descendant of Huai'an, was also a city in the Song Dynasty, about 20 miles away from Huaiyin County. It was later destroyed by Li Quan. So there are no friends or relatives in the South to turn to. ”

Xue Boyi muttered: "Then you go to the south, and your life is also difficult. In this way, if you don't dislike it, go to Chenjia Village, Jiangning County, Jiankang Prefecture to find a person named Lei Zonghao, and say that I arranged for you to go, and he will definitely take you in. ”

The old man said happily: "This is very good. I don't know the name of the childe? Xue Boyi then told the old man his name. followed the old man and led the refugees to thank Chen Tianyu and his party for a while before leaving.

After these refugees left, Chen Tianyu ordered the two Mongolian wounded soldiers to be taken care of, and continued all the way north. In less than half an hour, he came to the front of Huaiyin City. Chen Tianyu stood on his horse and looked towards the Huaiyin City, only to see that the walls of the Huaiyin City were short and the scale was not large.

The group walked to the city gate and saw a group of soldiers checking it. When I stepped forward to ask, sure enough, people who were not in the city were not allowed to enter. Chen Tianyu thought to himself: "If I take this Huaiyin City as a transition and station troops nearby, as long as I don't take the initiative to provoke trouble, the Mongols will not send a large number of men and horses to find trouble for themselves." And the Song army in Huaiyin City has not had time to deal with the Mongols, let alone come to me for trouble, so what is the situation in Huaiyin City has little to do with it, and it is the same whether you look at it or not. Thinking of this, he said: "Since we are not allowed to enter, we will go directly to Xuzhou." ”

Xue Boyi nodded and said: "My opinion coincides with Chen Gongzi, if we are stationed here, we don't need to worry about the Mongols attacking, and it is useless to ask for this city." ”

The two agreed on the same opinion, and immediately led everyone to bypass Huaiyin City and go straight to Xuzhou City in the southwest.

After traveling dozens of miles, Xue Boyi reminded: "This is completely controlled by the Mongols, if we meet the Mongols coming up to investigate, as long as we don't go too far, we can endure it, and we must not clash with them, otherwise it will be bad if we accidentally attract a large number of people." Chen Tianyu nodded with a group of strong men and said, "Well, I know." ”

Continuing to the north, I met many Mongolian cavalry on the way. When these Mongols saw that Chen Tianyu was dressed as a merchant, and they did not know what the goods they were carrying, they did not know what they were used for, so they were not interested, but nothing major happened, at most they used some silver, and sent these Mongols away.

After two days of travel, we finally arrived at Xuzhou City. At that time, the Mongols had occupied Xuzhou City for more than 20 years, so although it had been destroyed and looted by war, it had also stabilized and had some prosperous scenes. However, the Mongols are good at destroying and not good at building, so if you compare this Xuzhou city with the city of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a huge gap.

When the group arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a group of Mongol soldiers checking the gate, and all those with knives were confiscated. Xue Boyi glanced at Chen Tianyu and said with a smile: "The Mongolians are afraid that the people will rebel, so they are not even allowed to bring knives into the city, and the assault rifles we carry are hundreds of times more powerful than knives, and I don't know if we can bring them in." ”…,

Chen Tianyu said with a smile: "Brother Xue said that he was joking, how can these Mongolian barbarians recognize that our guns are weapons?" In their eyes, our gun is nothing more than a burning stick. It's just that we are in business, but we carry so many burning sticks, but we have to find a way to explain it, at least we can justify ourselves. ”

Xue Boyi thought for a while and said, "This is easy to do, let's just say that this is a flat burden for picking up luggage on a path where horses can't enter, but the appearance is a little weird." ”

Chen Tianyu clapped his hands and praised: "Good idea, it is reasonable to use the gun as a flat shoulder!" Forgive those Mongols, and they can't find anything wrong. Then he led the people and led the horses to the gate of the city to be examined.

Sure enough, when those Mongolian soldiers saw Chen Tianyu and their guns, they asked what they were, and Xue Boyi told the translator what he had just thought of. When those Mongols heard this, they were skeptical, but they couldn't say anything wrong, Xue Boyi gave some silver at the right time, and the Mongol leader waved his hand and let them in.

When they entered the city gate, they walked along the street without hindrance, and finally found an inn to stay in the west of the city. Xue Boyi pretended to be a wealthy businessman, and asked for six upper rooms, one for himself and Chen Tianyu, and one for each of the ten strong men. The shopkeeper ran around and served diligently.

After everyone entered the door and put down the luggage and parcels, Xue Boyi asked the shopkeeper about the places of interest in Xuzhou City, and the shopkeeper knew everything and was very enthusiastic. Xue Boyi knew his thoughts, talked for a while, rewarded him with a tael of silver, and casually asked about the current Taishou and all forces in Xuzhou City. The power in this Xuzhou city also belongs to Wang Xingkun's family is the largest, although the Mongols are powerful, but in this Xuzhou city, they have to rely on this Wang Xingkun everywhere. In addition, there are several small forces, such as the Nalu family and the Jia family, but they are too far away from Wang Xingkun's family, so I won't talk about it. ”

Xue Boyi nodded and said: "You said that Wang Xingkun was the Taishou of Xuzhou City more than 20 years ago, so he was still the official of the Jin Kingdom at that time?" ”

Shopkeeper said: "That's natural, this Wang family has been prosperous in Xuzhou City for more than 100 years, and when this Xuzhou City was still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, it was the people of their family who were doing this Taishou." Since then, whether the Jin people have come or the Mongols have come, it has not changed. However, the family is big and there are many people, and there will be some conflicts from time to time. Recently, I heard that Wang Xingkun's nephew wanted to take away his position as a taishou, and had a big quarrel with Wang Xingkun, and many people died. In two days, it was said that Wang Taishou was going to take his nephew to the south of the city and behead him. ”
