The two prison guards were busy packing their suitcases and cages, preparing to go to Guan Sheng's army to avoid robbery, and suddenly there were detectives outside who crawled to report - the dust in the west of Lingzhou City was big, covering the sky and the sun, and I don't know how many people came.

When the second prison army of the palace and the Dao heard that this was an impossible appearance, they were all frightened. Wu Bingyi, the warden of Chenzhou's soldiers and horses, said: "If it is a Huyan rebel, it should come from the east of Lingzhou, when will they have wings and go around the city?" There must be fraud in it! Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a look at the city. ”

So everyone rushed to the city to take a look, but it turned out that it was not Huyan soldiers, but people and horses sent by Zengtou City, who opened a formation under the city. Elder Zeng was really anxious this time, regardless of his old age, he personally put on it and went out with a mace. Beside the elder Zeng, there is the chief teacher Shi Wengong on the left, and the deputy teacher Su Ding on the right, Shi Wengong's son Shi Yupei took his sister Shi Yuzhu and Zeng Bulu to hold the rear formation, and in front of the formation was the five tigers of the Zeng family screaming like thunder, and they kept saying that as long as the two shameless dog eunuchs went out of the city to sacrifice their heads!

When I was in Qingzhou, there were only 500 volunteers in Zengtou City, and there was nothing in the thousands of troops, but now I was humiliated and desperate, and every family in Zengtou City was strong, and there were more than four or five thousand people? These men were poorly armoured and had uneven blades, but they were all riding fierce horses, all carrying bows and arrows, and the hooves of the horses trampled on the yellow dust, and with the wild howls of the charge, it was as if they were about to overturn the heavens and the earth.

Not only the palace and the two eunuchs of the Dao, but also the soldiers and horses of the Eighth Route saw this momentum, and their faces also changed color. Only then did they know that what Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo said before was the truth, just with these brave people in front of Zengtou City, it was not something that the straw bag officers and soldiers under their command could shake, not to mention that there must be people left behind in Zengtou City, so how many military horses did they get?

Only with their Eighth Route soldiers, if they want to swallow Zengtou City, they are afraid that they will break their teeth.

The eunuch looked at the fast horses flying like meteors under the city, his eyes straightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "There are traitors in the west and Diao people in the east, but our family has no way to walk, how can it be good now?" ”

The palace eunuch still had a little urgency: "It's better to send a few elite warriors to break out of the encirclement and ask Guan Shengjun for help." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in all directions, seeing that everyone on the Zeng Tou City Formation was cavalry, what horse could outrun them? To go out of the city is to kill yourself, and only fools are willing to go.

They probed their brains in the city, and the people of Zengtou City under the city had already seen it. Zeng Sheng, one of the five tigers of the Zeng family, came over, pointed to the city and shouted: "Those two castrated animals, come out and speak!" I have entered the Great Song Dynasty since I entered the Great Song Dynasty, I want horses to give horses, I want money to give money, what is the loss to you? You have lost your conscience, but you have applied the method of oppressing the Han people to our Jurchens, and we do not eat this set! ”

Zeng Suo, one of the five tigers of the Zeng family, also flew up and said with a smile: "Let's spread out the words today and make it clear!" If we don't give us a good answer to the Lingzhou Jurchens, we will go to the Tokyo Imperial Court and fight the emperor's lawsuit! When everyone in Zengtou City heard this, they were all fearless daxiao.

As soon as he was humiliated, he raised troops against each other, Zeng Tou City has such a big courage, in fact, it is also used to the imperial court.

This court has a relatively cheap problem, that is, it treats its own people like mud on the soles of its feet, but treats foreigners as treasures. At the end of the day, it's all vanity. The self-righteousness in power is the heavenly kingdom, and the four Yi are subdued, which is a matter of face, so if there is a foreign race to call him a minister, he can't wait to be able to provide it to the sky. When foreigners look at it, they have to get back countless real money and silver when they send three melons and two dates as tribute, and the money is not too easy to make! So they came one after another, you have to save face, I get benefits, if you have milk, you are a mother, if you don't have milk, you will come to rob it, and the disadvantages have been endless for thousands of years, and you have long lost the original intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to treat the naturalized Xiongnu in order to divide the Xiongnu and surrender the soldiers without a fight.

The same is true of Zengtou City. More than 100 years ago, they were a small tribe in the mature Jurchens of western Liao, and the emperors of the Liao State liked to hunt in the past dynasties, and they couldn't put down the Haidongqing falcons domesticated by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens dug good ginseng, raised good horses, picked good pearls, and rolled good mink, all of which were wonderful things that the exploiting class liked, so the Liao emperors of the previous dynasties were very harsh on the Jurchens, and the people were not happy.

One year, the ancestor of the Zeng family suffered a plague in the tribe, and more than half of the population and horses died, so they had to move the tribe.

When I was desperate, some of the older generations remembered that there was a Great Song Kingdom overseas, which was ruthless to its own people and spoiled foreigners, and it was a paradise for foreign races. So the desperate tribe made a desperate bet, and the whole clan rolled up and boarded the boat, and came to the Great Song Bo.

It was also their luck that the sea was calm and calm, and they were actually drifted to Dengzhou. Seeing the Dengzhou Taishou, although the patriarch couldn't speak Chinese, he painted a good painting with one hand, and with a few brushstrokes, the Dengzhou Taishou at that time understood that these aliens were here for pilgrimage!

That's a big deal! At that time, the Song Dynasty was fighting with the Liao State for the status of orthodoxy, and the two countries quarreled over the astronomical calendar and the source of etiquette. Do you still need to talk about the justice of the great unification?

Reported to Bianliang City, Tokyo, the official family was overjoyed, the Golden Palace received, Wen Mian, gave the surname Zeng's on the spot, rewarded countless gold and silver treasures, and settled in the nearby beautiful land with abundant water and grass in Lingzhou, and specially let these Jurchen naturalized people raise horses.

After a long time, the surrounding people found that as long as they could hug the thick legs of these aliens, the government would not dare to bully their own inappropriate people, so there were more and more people who helped the old and the young to defect, and gradually formed a big town, because it was headed by the Zeng family, it was called Zengtou City.

With the title of naturalized righteous people, the imperial courts of all dynasties looked at Zengtou City differently. The Zeng family also knew that their roots in the Great Song Dynasty were shallow, so they strictly restrained their children, did not allow trouble, and thickened the hearts of the surrounding people.

However, with the rise of the Maritime Silk Road, more and more people from Shijie countries came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the alien race gradually became worthless. It's not that the Celestial Empire doesn't want to make a name for itself, but their own officials have been overflowing, and they can't afford to brutally exploit the common people, so where can they take care of raising foreigners?

By the time Huizong was in power, the Zeng family had completely faded out of the impression of the imperial court; Tong Guan Gaoyu's traitorous ministers adhered to the military and government, accepted bribes, crowded out the virtuous, and the bulk trade of military horse procurement was also robbed by other empty shell horse dealers; The Lingzhou government also began to collect taxes from these naturalized righteous people, although relying on the ancestral shade, the name and amount of taxes were several times lighter than those in other places, but they were heavy enough.

The current patriarch of the Zeng family, Elder Zeng, has aged a lot overnight - the Zeng family is slowly declining, and the good old days are gone, where is he going to take these 10,000 families?

Just because the Zeng family has declined, so the two eunuchs of the palace and Dao dare to come up and step on a few feet casually, they are the people in charge of the game - the dogs around them have this confidence.

It's just that the obedient people who were bullied by them in the past were all slaves who slapped the left cheek to the right cheek. really ran into the unbearable Diao people, and they were also blind. In the end, these people in Zengtou City shed the blood of alien wildness and were oppressed, and Weishenme did not resist? This time, these thousands of people in Zengtou City took to the streets, not for Zeng Bulu alone, but for everyone - if you sit back and watch Zeng Bulu be kidnapped by the powerful today, tomorrow the daughters of every family will be in danger!

Therefore, Zeng Tou City decided to make a big fuss this time! To let the bastards in power in the Celestial Empire remember for a long time, Zengtou City is not a good people, but a righteous people!

If you make a mistake or even commit a crime, I will slap you, you can't be annoyed, you have to laugh and say that you played well, played well, and croaked - this is the obligation of the Celestial Empire and the responsibility of the righteous people.

Therefore, the five tigers of the Zeng family decided to slap this slap louder - those two eunuchs deceived people too much, and this time they were going to cut off their heads and send them back to Tokyo.

Seeing that the soldiers of Zengtou City outside the city were like tigers and horses, they didn't dare to step forward to answer. Shan Tingjun and Wei Dingguo glanced at each other, and the two secretly smiled with contempt, and Shan Tingjun came out and said: "The two prison lords, the young generals are not talented, and they are willing to go out of the city and retreat to Zengtou City." ”

When the second eunuch heard this, he hurriedly asked, "So, how many men and horses does General Shan want to bring?" How much money is the reward? ”

Shan Tingqi said with a smile: "So far, it's not bad for money - the young general has the courage to ask the supervisor to promise - Zeng Tou City soldiers retreated, and the two adults will not investigate their offense today." ”

Huo's eyebrows only looked at the moment, and the two eunuchs agreed without a mouth, Shan Tingqi took off his armor, didn't even bring the dagger with him, grabbed the long rope in Wei Dingguo's hand, and jumped off the city wall from the top of the city.

In the exclamation of everyone, Shan Tingqi was as light as a swallow, arrived at the city early, and said loudly: "I want to see Old Man Zeng." ”

The five tigers of the Zeng family and Wei Dingguo of Shan Tingqi are both old friends, and they deeply respect the two generals who are honest and capable, and when they saw him coming alone without a blade, they were even more convinced of his courage, and politely invited him to the horse of the elder Zeng.

They are all acquaintances, Elder Zeng, Shi Wengong, and Su Ding all got off the horse and greeted Shan Tingjue, and Shan Tingjue asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Elder Zeng said: "I have come to punish him!" If we don't kill them, they will come and kill us! In Lingzhou City, aren't all the soldiers ordered? ”

Shan Tingqi listened to daxiao: "The young general and everyone are friends with each other, if there are really soldiers and horses to attack Zengtou City, how can the young general stand by here?" To tell you the truth, it is true that the soldiers in the city want to fight Zengtou City, but there are Wei brothers who have a little suspicion of military tactics and have eliminated this military disaster! ”

When they heard this, they were skeptical. This is exactly what it is:

Corrupt officials have never been afraid, and small people have not been taken lightly since ancient times. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
