Forty miles out of Lingzhou, the carriage suddenly stopped, Zhao Zhi was taken aback, and his hand instinctively put on the gun on his waist, everyone knew that the march of the Ludao Brigade did not have an order, even if there was a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of it, it could not stop, and there were sentinels in front of the team, and there were rangers from time to time, and any situation would be reported in time, but now it suddenly stopped without warning, something must have happened.

'Didi-to-tock...' Zhao Zhi's mind turned, imagining the situation that might happen ahead, now he was the head of the march, and he was responsible for guarding the prince, so he couldn't help but be careless. The surroundings of Lingzhou have been repeatedly cleared, and a large number of rebel horse bandits have long been wiped out, and now the loyal and brave army is in the northwest, not to mention that the horse bandits are the regular army of Western Xia will avoid them early when they see their banner, and they will never dare to brush their beards, so who dares to stand in their way? Just then, there was a sound of communication trumpets in front of them.

"Lord Wang, general, a large caravan appeared at the fork in front, blocking the road and fighting with our marching team, and Commander Xu is driving away!" The first battalion of the dragon general, who served as the striker, sent people to report.

"Hmph, these caravans are really getting more and more disagreeable, they actually dare to compete with the army, block the king's driving, and order Xu to command the envoy to quickly clear the passage, and those who do not obey the order will be engaged in military law!" Zhao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his anger was even greater, the marching brigade suddenly stopped without warning during the march, and it was easy to collide with each other and cause chaos, which was fortunate because the loyal and brave army was well-trained, and the distance was stretched away during the march, and it was able to order the ban, so there was no chaos.

"Slow down, order the four teams of the whole army to change into two teams, retreat to the side of the road and move slowly, please caravan first!" The herald was about to report back, when suddenly the prince got out of the car and said.

"What are you doing in a daze, do what the prince ordered!" Not only Zhao Zhi was puzzled by the prince's order, but even the herald was also stunned, and he was stunned for a while and didn't know who to listen to, although Zhao Zhi didn't understand what the prince meant, but he also knew that the prince of the prince must have his meaning when he decided to do so, in line with the principle of absolute obedience to the orders of the superiors. He hurriedly addressed the herald.

"Yes!" The herald saw that the prince had been confirmed again, and hurriedly saluted and got on his horse to the front to give the order, but he was very puzzled in his heart, since ancient times, pedestrians have made way for the army, but today the prince has to make way for the caravan. It's so fresh! But he did not dare to disobey the king's orders. "The prince has an order, the whole army will become a two-way column, retreat to the outside of the main road and slow down, and let the caravan go first!" He shouted all the way on his horse.

"Zhao Zhi. Order the law enforcement team to patrol back and forth, and all sergeants who harass merchants and people will be severely punished! Zhao Ta was still not at ease, said to Zhao Zhi, and ordered Wangfu to prepare a horse to check in front.

Now it is three poles in the day, but Zhao Ta still feels the cold wind as soon as he gets out of the carriage. It is said that Lingzhou is outside the south of the Yangtze River, but in front of him is a vast expanse, without a trace of green, but the most learned is the strong wind here, if there is no wind for two days in ten days, you have to recite 'Amitabha'. Zhao Ta got on the horse, dressed in a big hat, and still felt that the cold wind invaded his bones, and the wind rolled the sand and hit his face painfully, but this can only be blamed for his bad life. The two times I came to Lingzhou were in the winter, and I didn't have the opportunity to see the spring here.

Most of the loyal soldiers were cavalry, but they were also accompanied by heavy carts and heavy weapons such as artillery, so it would take some trouble to clear the way. What's more, there are nearly 10,000 war horses, which have to be pulled by everyone to get off the horse to avoid the road and lean on the side of the road, so it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied. Secretly blame the prince for being troubled and make way for those caravans.

Zhao Ta rushed all the way from the Chinese army to the front army. Before the person arrived, he heard the sound of a quarrel in front of him, and when he heard the loud voice that could be transmitted for three miles in the headwind, he knew that it was Xu Biao's goods who were going crazy. He hurried down the away path to the front of the group...

"Block the road for me, damn shame on you, give you the way and squeeze Lao Tzu's people into the ditch" Xu Biao originally led the army to open the road in front, but was suddenly inserted into the team by a caravan that arrived from another fork in the road, their carts and pack animals were immediately mixed up with the team of the loyal army, and no one could change it if the effort was not good, and more and more caravans kept up with it, and the road ten zhang wide was impenetrable. Xu Biao sent sergeants to squeeze out a road from it, but at this time there was an order from the prince to let them give way, although he was not happy, he also pinched his nose and admitted, but he let go of the caravan a little and arched forward a little, the result was that the forwards were squeezed into the ditch, which provoked him to get angry, and ordered someone to reblock the road, he whipped the merchants who were still crowded forward, and his mouth was not idle and scolded.

"My lord, you are angry, the New Year is approaching, everyone wants to hurry into the city to sell the goods in their hands to go home for the New Year, I can't help but be anxious, please bear with me!" The shopkeeper of the caravan dodged Xu Biao's whip while bowing and explaining with a smile.

"You fucking don't even want your life to make money, do you know whose team you're blocking? This is Prince Yan's personal army, and the prince Kuanren let you go first, but you still don't know what to do, and the king is shocked to cut off your heads! Xu Biao glared and shouted viciously.

"Prince Yan is here?!" When the shopkeeper heard that the prince was here, he was immediately stunned and asked carefully.

"What? Inquire so carefully, I want to assassinate the prince! Xu Biao's 'splashing' energy came again, and the big hat was buttoned up, "You people know how to make money, and the prince led us to drive away the Xixia people, so it's cheaper for you money strings!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare, it's all the blessings of the prince and the adults, let's make way, please go first!" The shopkeeper saw Xu Biao's hair, said timidly, turned around and ordered his men to quickly lead the cattle to the other side, but now they are all crowded into a lump, where can they still move, people shout that the horses are neighing, the goods are scattered all over the ground, the size of the caravan is sweating profusely, but Xu Biao is even more proud, scolding on the side, it's not fun!

"Xu Biao, shut up for me!" Listening to Xu Biao's scolding and looking at his appearance, Zhao Ta was furious and roared.

"Lord Wang, why did you come to the front? I cleared the road in no time! Xu Biao was on the rise, and was suddenly interrupted and unhappy, and was about to teach someone a lesson, but when he turned around, he saw the prince, and hurriedly put down the whip in his hand and saluted.

"The commander of the first battalion of the dragon general made Xu Biao disobey the general's order, removed from his post, and severely punished by the law enforcement team, and the post of commander was represented by the deputy commander Tian Jinhong, immediately get out of the way and divert traffic!" Zhao Tan ignored Xu Biao, who was 'inviting merit', and said with a straight face, before Xu Biao woke up from it, he was held down by several sergeants of the law enforcement team and put off his weapon.

"Lord Wang, the last general doesn't understand!" Seeing that the weapons in his hand were all searched, Xu Biao was sober, the prince was real, not to tease him, he struggled and shouted, but the prince just waved his hand and ordered someone to take him away!

"Lord Wang, the villain doesn't know that the king is here, blocking the road, it's really damned!" The shopkeeper already understood at a glance, and he was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

"The shopkeeper, please get up, it's the king who has no way to make everyone frightened, please bear with me!" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand to help.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all small blind, please atone for your sins!" Where did the shopkeeper dare to get up, begging.

"Hehe, this king said it's okay, hurry up!" Zhao Ta tried his best to lift him up and said, the shopkeeper still didn't dare to raise his head, his legs trembled, but Zhao Ta's appearance calmed the scene, the caravan quickly got the letter, did not dare to move again, and the new commander also hurriedly commanded the troops to get out of the way, leaned towards the side of the road, and sent an adjustment post to maintain order and prevent chaos in the caravan.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of goods are you selling this time?" Taking advantage of the stalls where both sides were preparing, Zhao Ta and the shopkeeper chatted.

"Lord Wang, the little one is from Henan, I heard that Lingzhou has reopened the market, and all countries in the Western Regions are trading here, I heard that they lack silk there, and they like the wine and some fresh things of our Great Song Dynasty, so they sold a little and came to see the market!" The shopkeeper said solemnly.

"Well, you have a good eye, these things are very in demand, they will definitely be sold for a good price, you are rich!" Zhao Ta patted him on the shoulder and said.

"By the auspicious words of the prince, the small fortune depends on the blessing of the prince's victory in the northwest!" The shopkeeper arched his hand.

"Is the northwest going all the way smoothly?" Zhao asked again.

"Fortunately, I thought that the northwest had just been recovered, and the ground would not be peaceful, but I didn't expect that I hadn't even encountered a thief along the way, and all the states and counties took good care of our business!" The shopkeeper saw that the prince was kind, and he also let go of the reply.

"Well, along the way, there are states and counties that set up cards to collect taxes and harass you to collect benefits?" Zhao Tan nodded and asked.

"No, after entering Hedong and paying taxes, no one asked for it all the way, everything is very regular, to put it mildly, it is a hundred times better than other roads!" The shopkeeper shook his head again and again.

"If anyone dares to ask for money from you in the northwest, you just need to write it down and inform the local state capital, they will definitely make decisions for you, if no one cares, you can go to the Xuanfu Division to find this king, and this king will make decisions for you!" Seeing that the prince didn't have a shelf, and the others also gathered around and said, Zhao Ta said to everyone.

"Lord Wang Shengming, it's really a blessing for us, please go first!" At this time, the road had been cleared, and the merchants pleaded.

"Don't dare, you have worked tirelessly to come west, to transport what you need to the northwest, and to sell the output to all over the world, you are the god of wealth in the northwest, you should go first, but you just delayed your trip, please forgive me!" Zhao Ta waved at everyone and said, "Just now, the sergeant under this king damaged the goods of this shopkeeper, please set a price, and we will compensate according to the price!" ”

"The prince is really famous, he is really the king of benevolence and righteousness, and the villain is taught today!" The shopkeeper was moved, it is really a blessing for them to have such a person in charge in the northwest, and everyone also saw the sincerity of the prince, and secretly took the northwest as the focus of his next development, and Zhao Ta also breathed a sigh of relief, his own 'performance' will soon spread among the merchants everywhere, improve confidence, and their arrival will also bring prosperity and rolling wealth to the northwest!
