Chapter Eighty-Five: The Land of Projectiles
Chen Yuan has always been very stable in his eyes, and he believes that he must have seen that personal soldier, but he really can't remember it now.
Until he walked into the Rifle Inn, Chen Yuan didn't remember who the pro-soldier was, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, and he said that he would take a closer look.
He's very careful now, and he has to be very careful. I don't have Pang Xi's martial arts, if there is a bad pool, my life will be in danger.
Amuda took the men of the convoy to Song Guang's warehouse where salt was stored, and after a busy night, he finally replaced the porcelain on the car with salt before dawn.
Those guys and coachmen originally thought that they would have a day off and leave tomorrow, but who knew that Chen Yuan would immediately ask them to stay at the north gate and wait for Qi Wen's troops to come.
Everyone complained about not resting all night, and Chen Yuan didn't explain too much, just said a sorry word, and then promised to let them rest well after Wen Tong.
As soon as the sky was bright, the city gate opened, and Qi Wen's troops were ready to set off.
When the coachmen saw that they were following the army, their resentment was much less. At least following the army is very secure in terms of safety, as long as the safety is guaranteed, it is no problem to work hard.
There was also a caravan that was obviously taken care of, and they also arrived here early to wait, the size and number of the caravan were about the same as Chen Yuan and them, and after knowing that the two sides were going to take a road in the future, they took the initiative to send someone over and greeted Chen Yuan and them very friendly, hoping that they could take care of each other on the way.
Chen Yuan naturally won't refuse, with a companion and an escort, at least on the way to Wentong, there shouldn't be any problems.
All that remains is to wait for the officers and soldiers to check it.
This is Datong, an important border town. Everyone who goes out must be strictly checked, no matter what identity you are or what you do.
Today's investigation seems to be extremely strict, and even the three thousand sergeants are out of the city with a roster, thinking that it is an order that Song Guang has already given to help Bai Yutang force Yelu Gollum out.
Looking at Song Guang's posture, Chen Yuan estimated that it would not be easy for the Nine Princes to get out of the city, and whether they could run away from Bai Yutang depended on how capable he was.
When the three thousand people stood under the city gate waiting for the interrogation, Chen Yuan walked back and forth beside the team, he wanted to find the face that he had seen yesterday but couldn't remember where he had seen it.
It's just that the sky hasn't completely brightened up yet, and it's simply impossible for these 3,000 people to stand together and find someone who you are not impressed with.
After Chen Yuan searched for two laps and didn't find it, he gave up. Anyway, there are still opportunities on the road, just pay more attention.
"Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper Chen?" A man wearing a fur coat and hat was in front of Chen Yuan, although he was not a Song man at first glance, his etiquette was more standard than Chen Shimei, a standard Song Dynasty scholar.
Chen Yuan hurriedly replied: "In the next place, dare to ask who you are?" ”
The man smiled: "My name is Yang Jun, and I also do some business like the shopkeeper, seeing that you and I want to go together all the way, I came to say hello to you, and we should take care of each other on the road." ”
It turned out to be the shopkeeper of another caravan, and Chen Yuan saluted again: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Yang, and it was disrespectful." What Shopkeeper Yang said is that this way to the north, since you and I are together, we should take care of each other. ”
In this way, the two caravans knew each other. After Chen Yuan and Yang Jun exchanged polite words, the investigation of the troops was over, and it was Chen Yuan's turn to leave the city.
The inventory of the caravan was even stricter, and wherever people could be hidden, those soldiers did not let go.
Qi Wen, who left the city, did not leave immediately with the team, but lined up in formation under the city, and waited until the two caravans that were under care were almost finished checking, and then he moved slowly with the whole army.
With 3,000 Song troops opening the road, there will naturally be no danger in this hundred miles, and when the sky is about to dawn, they set off and walked for a whole day, that is, when the sky is about to get dark, the troops entered Wentong.
Compared with Datong, Wentong is pitiful and pitiful, and it is simply not a city.
This is one of the differences between the Song army and the Liao soldiers. The Song army was mainly infantry, so it relied heavily on the small cities of Wentong when it was on alert.
The Liao soldiers, on the other hand, relied mainly on small troops of cavalry roaming the border dressed as horse thieves. These cavalry not only played a warning role, but after they robbed the caravan, they could also effectively supply the Liao soldiers' food and salary.
Relatively speaking, although the Song Dynasty occasionally delayed military salaries, the food salaries were never less. If the soldiers have money, they will find a place to gamble on their luck, and if they have no money, they will stay in the barracks and eat the rice and rice brought by the emperor, who wants to risk being hit by the Liao soldiers to come out and patrol with wind and sand.
After entering the city gate, Qi Wen asked the troops to go to the barracks first, but he waited for the caravan of Chen Yuan and Yang Jun to arrive.
"The two shopkeepers, I finally lived up to my trust all the way and brought you safely, now you go into the city to rest, as for the road further north, I won't send it." Qi Wen said politely on the horse.
Chen Yuan and the others hurriedly clenched their fists: "Thank you general, don't dare to bother the general anymore." ”
Qi Wen walked side by side with them to Wen Tong, and after walking in, Chen Yuan found that Wen Tong was a little more small than he had imagined.
On the left side of the road is a barracks, and on the right is an inn. The barracks took up half the city, and the inns took up half the city. There was no road in the middle of the city, only a makeshift tent branching out into a road.
In those makeshift tents, those who make iron, repair cars, and mend shoes do not have their own signboards. If you put a hammer at the door, it means that this is a blacksmith, and if you put a wheel on it, you will repair the car.
There are no signboards at the inn, but the three-story building is the tallest outside of the Wentong City Wall.
Including the military camp of the Song soldiers, there are no eye-catching flags, this mansion is smaller than Pang Ji's Taishi Mansion, if it weren't for the two rows of soldiers standing at the door, it wouldn't be a military camp at all.
After Qi Wen left, the two caravans walked towards the inn, and Chen Yuan asked Yang Jun: "Shopkeeper Yang, where are you going to Liao this time?" ”
He never asked this question, because the road was not smooth, and if he asked too much, it would arouse unnecessary suspicion, but it would be a little troublesome.
Now that he is familiar with it, Chen Yuan spoke. After asking, without waiting for Yang Jun to answer, he said the purpose of his question: "Under these goods, they are going to be pulled to Yanjing, if the shopkeeper is on the way, how about we go all the way?" ”
Yang Jun listened, and his face also showed joy: "This is the best, I am also going to Yanjing, Brother Chen, we will really take care of each other in the future." ”
