In the afternoon, the weather was overcast, and after a while, a cold wind howled, and the sky rolled up with snowflakes.

Gao Qiong said in surprise: "It also snows in Bashu? ”

"General Gao, not only will it snow in Bashu, but it will also snow in Hunan, but it is mostly water and snow, not like the dry snow in the capital, which will soon turn into stone powder, and it can kill people."

"I wonder if it will snow in the Southern Han Dynasty?"

"It's rare to see snow over there, but if it's cold, it will snow, it's just rare."

"Jiulang, you are the leader in my dynasty in terms of learning."

"Where, there are some miscellaneous studies, but the subset of scripture and history is not good, now I teach character and arithmetic, a heart pounces on it, and the scriptures and poems are put down, one day is not as good as one day, the scriptures are the right way, it is not good, I dare to say that it is the leader?"

"What is the use of Jingyi!" Gao Qiong said disdainfully.

"General Gao, don't say that it doesn't work, if the army of Bashu and my dynasty is like this without moderation, continue, in order to govern the country, in order to make the country orderly, I have to use one thing to overcome one thing, the only thing that can overcome the military is the text, support the text, and the scriptures and righteousness will be more effective than anything else."

"Supporting civil servants?" Gao Qiong laughed.

Song Jiu shook his head.

But Gao Qiong also had to say: "If the army is not controlled, it is really terrible." ”

"The division of feudal towns, the sequelae of five generations of chaos." Song Jiu suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

"Jiurou, there are a lot of people here."

"It seems that the two battalions of Zizhou troops have all driven over."

"When will the people from General Kang's side arrive?"

"I think it's fast, it's only a hundred miles in a straight line, and it's a mountain road. It's less than two hundred miles. However, they will have to be in a stalemate for several days, and they must bring some luggage and food. It will not be as extravagant as we are with pack horses, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for a while. It depends on what General Kang thinks. It's okay, let's put it off for a while. ”

A large group of soldiers and officials rushed over together.

As soon as he arrived at the bridge, Gao Qiong took ten people and stood on the side of the bridge and shouted: "Except for the officials and generals, the rest of the people must not cross the bridge, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

It's all reasonable rule.

Zizhou transferred two battalions of forbidden troops, and if the court inquired afterwards, it could be said to protect. But on Song Jiu's side, the soldiers of the Flying Fierce Army were scared. Gao Qiong's approach is also understandable. After speaking, Gao Qiong made a gesture, and the ten people took their bows and arrows from their backs.

An official came out of the crowd and asked, "Who is the inspector?" ”

Song Jiu rode to the side of the bridge, looked at the official opposite and asked, "You are Zhao Tingshi?" ”

He is the timid assassin Zhao Yanjin of Meizhou, Meizhou is just east of Yazhou, where Lu Han's army is stationed, so the imperial court let Duan Sigong replace his position, Kang Yanze took Puzhou, and Zizhou was a little quieter. Zhao Yanjin was transferred to Zizhou.

This is a timid officer.

But there is also a great Zhao Yanjin, who has some relatives with Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi's first wife is Yin Chongke's eldest sister, and Zhao Yan is aggressive Yin Chongke's younger sister. Zhixiangzhou. Construct Han water conservancy.

The two have the same surname and the same name, but their talents are worlds apart, just like Wang Jixun, a brave general stationed in Hebei. Uncle Wang Jixun also has the same surname and name, but it is also far from being compared.

"Zhao is."

"I am Dr. Xuanyi Lang, Dr. Taichang, Liangchuan Patrol Envoy, Xiao Caiwei, and Song Jiu, the founding son of the country."

This series of official positions is in addition to the inspector. Other reports may not scare anyone, but the meaning behind them cannot be ignored. Age, the speed of promotion! It's more complicated to think deeper. That river island alone linked him to dozens of high gates.

Wang Quanbin's child joined in, don't take it seriously, God knows how much benefit Wang Quanbin got in Bashu, and he still cares about the dividends of thousands of dollars? But many people can only be said to be well-off, including the two sons of the Pan Mei family, who took thousands of yuan, and at least more than a quarter of the Pan family's assets. What happens if something happens? Thinking of this, Zhao Yanjin sweated on his forehead.

You can't look at people by age, and this patrol makes the job fake and fake, it can not be true, but if it is true, it is also not fun, in the Tang Dynasty, it must be an official of the fifth grade or above, and it is a big official who patrols the place, after the disaster or some special circumstances, such as the current war, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol the place, inspect the officials, and give relief to the victims. Major matters are decided, small matters are decided, and even said that if the patrol cannot shake the mountains and deter the prefectures and counties, it is for not taking office. If he gave Song Jiu a reason, Song Jiu would be more serious, and he would really regard himself as an inspector and behead himself on the spot, and it could not be said that Song Jiu had made a mistake, at most he would go back and be fined for a year or two, and he would not be allowed to come out in the future.

The timid man thinks a lot of things, and when he thinks of this, he looks at the dozens of corpses on the opposite side, and he is almost unstable, so he comes to the bridge and says, "I have seen the inspector." ”

"And the general judgment, and the command of the two battalions?"

Zhao Yanjin looked back at several people pleadingly.

Song Jiu shouted again: "The envoy came, and he didn't come out to greet him, do you even dare to be contemptuous of Your Majesty?" ”

Several officials and generals walked out unhappily.

Gao Qiong was still on guard, and Song Jiu brought a few people to the corpse, and according to what he said, he said it about once.

Theoretically, it was established, the fog was thick at night, and the night was dark, so Song Jiu arranged it in advance and copied the back road. Although this river is not big, it cannot be regarded as a small river, and now in the dry season, it is still more than 20 steps wide, and it can barely be navigated by small cargo ships of 300 stones. If you are ambushed, you can only retreat to the wooden bridge, the wooden bridge is blocked, and you can only jump into the river if you want to escape. The river water is cold, and it is relatively turbulent, and the body is frozen, so that the water rushes to the sky and knows where it goes.

Shi Zhen, the commander of the second battalion, had a gloomy face and said, "Inspector, I want to take these dead bodies back and bury them." ”

"Commander Shi, no, I have sent someone to report to Lu Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, General Wang, General Liu, General Cao, and Kang Patrol Envoy. Let's wait for people from Yizhou and Puzhou to come down. ”

Shi Zhen's face became even more gloomy.

Song Jiuqiang endured his nausea, came to Li Liang's corpse, pointed to his arms, and said: "That is the golden sand, for this golden sand, these soldiers actually pretended to be thieves." It is intended to slaughter hundreds of people in the entire village. ”

Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been less and less gold sand here. What can be found is broken and small, and the color is not very good. However, Song Jiu suspected that there must be a gold sand mine at the source, and the output may not be high, but without this mine, the gold sand would have been emptied long ago.

I am not very interested in this Song Jiu, it is not copper, iron and coal, I want to make gold, as long as the south recovers and the sea route is opened, with some of my own skills. Every year, you can earn a lot of gold from the Great Food Tianzhu, not this clumsy way of panning for gold.

Shi Zhen asked again, "What about the ship?" ”

"When we were fighting, the owner of the boat ran away with two men and couldn't catch up."

"Not a single living mouth?"

"No, I reported my official name, and the more ferocious these people resisted, they actually killed several of my subordinates. It wasn't until I cleaned up the battlefield that I realized that they were our forbidden soldiers, and you were the commanders of the Feimeng Battalion, whose subordinates were they? ”

"It's my subordinate. But I don't know either. ”

Song Jiu sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "That's it, are you stationed here to be on guard, or do you go back and wait for someone from Yizhou to deal with it?" ”

"Let's be here on guard."

"Then please come back."

A few people walked back to the bridge. Ge Ba came over and whispered, "Jiulang, be careful, that Shi Zhen is not well-intentioned. All the way, I kept fanning the flames. ”

"I know." Song Jiu looked at the sky. The sky was even darker, and the yellow clouds were flying. But the snowflakes fell tightly. The north wind blew, and Song Jiu couldn't help but shiver.

The camp began on the other side, and no matter what became of this group of Song soldiers, their quality was still there, like a tight machine, running precisely. Soldiers kept chopping down the wood, and even tearing down the liquor shop in the blink of an eye. Someone else set up camp on the other side of the wooden bridge and blocked the wooden bridge.

The proprietress ran out of the village and said, "Lieutenant envoy, you have to stop them. ”

"Big lady, don't worry, the official will build a better wine shop for you before leaving." Song Jiu comforted that if it can't be stopped now, the cross-strait situation is like a pile of gunpowder, even the slightest spark will cause an explosion.

After Song Jiu finished speaking, he came to the village and said to the people: "If the reinforcements from the direction of Puzhou have not arrived in the evening, you will all take advantage of the night to flee to the mountains and prepare for refuge in advance." ”

"The envoy ......," an old man said dumbfoundedly.

"Old Weng Weng, you don't have to ask anything, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case."

There was chaos in the village, and Song Jiu walked out with a sigh. Li Liang said a sentence that is true, Lu Yuqing's status is so high, when he comes to Yizhou, he only dares to kill a colonel Liwei, and he doesn't dare to go too far, he has grabbed the red eye, what kind of court and national law, he is also afraid of provoking a mutiny.

It was getting late, reinforcements seemed to be coming, and the village was even more chaotic, and many people were packing their bags and preparing to flee. However, in this sad weather, the snow is still falling!

Song Jiu called Gao Qiong and Ge Ba and said: "If the Puzhou reinforcements have not arrived, we will not be able to sleep tonight, and we are ready to get on the horse at any time and flee to Puzhou from the south bank, the other party has too many forbidden troops, and we are not opponents." ”

"These people are too bold."

"Ge Zhuangshi, if an army has no military discipline, it will be like this, and this is the reason why the forbidden army in many states dares to rebel."

As he spoke, a black line rose from the horizon in the distance. The Sichuan ride in Puzhou arrived, and Song Jiu also said in the letter that he should not go from the north bank, because it was expected that the wooden bridge would be blocked, so he deliberately instructed in the letter to come from the south bank trail.

Seeing that this army was approaching, there was a commotion on the north bank, and Zhao Yanjin and the general judge were persuading each other. Song Jiu shook his head, and the last two officials finally calmed down the commotion. It was not they who persuaded it, but the two hundred Sichuan horses were already coming.

They are all Sichuan horses, small in size and not fast, but this kind of horse has an advantage, it is suitable for mountain running, and it can endure hardships. The two hundred Sichuan cavalry stopped in unison, and the leading general said loudly: "Command Lou Su to see the patrol envoy." ”

The strange surname, the strange appearance, does not look like a Han person, and I don't know if it is a Fan or a Qiang person.

"You guys came just in time," Song Jiu let out a long sigh of relief. If you come, you can be deterred, otherwise you will really do it against the Song army on the other side, and you will not be able to do it openly, and there are scruples, so when it gets dark, the people will withdraw, and they will also withdraw. We can't let them do it, and as soon as they do it, just like Wu Bi, Sun Jin, Song Dewei, Feng Shaowen and Wang Kewen, a new rebellion will happen. If they run away, they don't do it, they are still officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and Zizhou will not be in turmoil...... I can't say this, but it's the truth of Bashu now. (To be continued......)
