To the northeast of the river, there are 30,000 Han divisions.
"This damn swamp—" Zhu Biao had led the team to the hard ground as much as he could, but he still couldn't get rid of the boundless mud and continuous silt.
On the vast grassland in the south of Yinshan Mountain, the ground that was as hard as pig iron in winter is now completely softened and rotten like tofu dregs. The infantry soldiers can reach their ankles with muddy water under their feet, and the cavalry soldiers can drive the horses into mud without horses' hooves, not to mention the baggage soldiers of the rear team, and the relaxed carriage drawn by a horse on the road, and now the two people behind them are pushing, and they can barely catch up with the progress of the infantry armor. This is a highly chariotized Hedong military dialect, which is simply unthinkable in the past.
But watching the sludge and sewage spill to the height of half a wheel, what can Zhu Biao do? The original schedule of the seven-day march now looks like it will take at least ten days.
If you still fly the general, even if you are a Scud, you can't fly on the grassland at this time!
Last year's winter was a little too cold, and the snow in this generation of Yinshan was also big, and in the spring of this year, it was the turn of the Hedong Army to be unlucky at this time!
At this moment, outside a small town in the east of Pingzhou, a carriage also left a deep mark on the ground. Qi Qiuyu's two boxes are full of gold and silver, although the weight of the jewelry is not much, but the rows of gold and silver are at Qi Qiuyu's current level, and it is difficult to move them with sufficient internal strength, and you can imagine how much weight there is.
The thing was pressed into the carriage as if it were carrying several people. I can't see anything when driving on the serious official road, after all, the road surface has been compacted and pressed, but when I get to the woods, the traces of the wheels pressing into the ground are obvious.
The five inspectors originally saw that there were only two wooden boxes in the carriage, and they didn't pay attention to Yang Yuanfeng at all, but when they saw the carriage get off the road and turn into the roadside woods, they were immediately stunned, and then they were overjoyed.
The patrol school leader of the five is an experienced veteran. Naturally, he guessed that there was material in the two boxes, and immediately led someone to touch it along the wheel print.
"Treacherous and filthy officials, it is not too much to kill!" Qi Qiuyu was extremely annoyed, and scolded in his heart: You are a broken inspection, and you are not six doors, why do you need such fine eyes? But he had to think he was unlucky.
The reason why he and Yang Yuanfeng went on the road early in the morning today was to avoid the troubles in the town, and at the same time, they rarely met with the patrol department, county soldiers, and township Yong. I don't want this first side to show a flaw.
"Melt it with corpse water and bury it with instruments. Cover it up for as long as you can! Qi Qiuyu said. But Yang Yuanfeng and he both knew that the inspection department in a town lost five inspectors, and the matter could never be concealed for two days. Because they have only twelve or thirteen people in one inspection department at most.
"Let's go!" It's not safe in the woods here, and there is no telling when there will be pedestrians passing by, Qi Qiuyu saw that things were taken care of. immediately said to Yang Yuanfeng.
Yang Yuanfeng drove the carriage quickly onto the avenue. Qi Qiuyu took out the horse from the woods, and after the two converged, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to the north.
Qi Qiuyu is not in a good mood now, there are too many traces left in the woods, and the yellow water stains left after the corpse water is used, and the slight pungent smell that seeps into the ground for two or three days can't be eliminated. In particular, there are four deep wheel imprints, and horseshoe imprints in the woods. No matter how much he covered it up, Qi Qiuyu couldn't restore the ground to its original state. Apparently the spearhead is directed at the chariots and horses.
It is difficult to say whether his whereabouts will be leaked, but as long as the official yamen of Dongping reports the news to the Quartet, the carriage will become the focus of the investigation of the local government and sentry posts in the next few days. And he carried so much gold and silver. Without horse-drawn carriages, there would be no transportation at all.
"Maybe it's going to be bloody." If Yang Yuanfeng and himself could rush to Anbaoji before the government spread the news to various places, it would be easy to say; But if not, then it is indispensable to lick blood from the knife on the road. Qi Qiuyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the violent killing intent suddenly bloomed in his chest. There were already bursts of murderous aura between his eyebrows.
On Guanlu Avenue.
Ten miles and one post, thirty miles and one card. During the year of recuperation. The Northern Han court not only breathed a sigh of relief militarily, but also had a gap in financial resources, based on the previous lessons, and more importantly sorted out the power in the folk townships, and the power that had gradually fallen into the hands of the rural gentry and gangs because of its attention to the north was returned to the hands of the imperial court.
The combination of the checkpoint and the inspection department, the public security problems that have intensified in the people of the Northern Han Dynasty in the past ten years have been cleared up at the time.
But all men are inert. Since the beginning of the year, the imperial court began to do not know, these large and small sentry posts on the official roads of the country, the longest has been stored for nearly a year, and the short ones have been half a year.
Scrape some oil and water, card some small money, once, twice, three times, and finally get used to nature, step by step towards depravity. It's early in the morning, and the inspection is even more lax. There were only two people at the guard post outside the town, less than the normal five, because these two men were on vigil, and the others on the guard were still sleeping in the tents nearby.
This was the first checkpoint encountered out of the town, Qi Qiuyu was dozens of steps behind, and he strolled behind the carriage to follow. There were only two guards at the police post, and Qi Qiuyu watched them with both eyes, and as long as he noticed that they were the slightest restless, he would immediately fly into the tent. Yang Yuanfeng will also immediately kill these two people with heavy hands.
It's just a sentry card, and it's every minute and every second when it's killed!
However, the two Xiang Yong who had been guarding all night were now sleepy to death, and they had no intention of checking at all, and when they saw Yang Yuanfeng driving over, the one led by them just waved his hand, glanced at it and let it go, and he didn't even have the strength to scrape the oil and water. Qi Qiuyu was only happy in his heart when he watched it in the back, this was too lax!
At that moment, he relaxed his heart, and took the reins of his horse and rode towards the police post. His original idea was that as long as he watched Yang Yuanfeng pass the pass, he himself would go down the country road and walk around these police posts. But now it seems that ...... I don't need it.
The mist lifts and the sun rises. A round of crimson flames lit up the dim sky, and behind the vivid morning glow, it seemed to stretch out an endless blue satin.
After an hour of running, Qi Qiuyu and Yang Yuanfeng had already passed five checkpoints, and they were about to leave the boundary of Shuangyang County and enter the territory of Gaodian County.
Looking at the sentry post with more than a dozen figures standing not far in front of them, the two looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces. It was late, the people on the checkpoint got up, and the people on night went down.
"Lord Ling, are we going to avoid it?" Passed the five checkpoints easily before, but because of what can be relaxed, Yang Yuanfeng is very clear. The current one is different from the five in front, this is a very standardized checkpoint, Yang Yuanfeng couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.
"Go down the trail and get out of the way!" Qi Qiuyu weighed it for a while, and finally decided not to take it easy. Although the two of them can be killed by a dozen or so people on the checkpoint, secrecy comes first.
……
Beiping, Anping Marquis Mansion.
"Oops, Mr. Cao. Are you going out? ”
At the door, the Yun family will look at a young gentleman who walked out leisurely from inside the door, saluting respectfully and flatteringly to say hello.
In a year's time, Cao Bingkun has firmly established himself in the Yun family, and as a guest of the Hou Mansion, his status is far higher than that of ordinary gatekeepers.
"Hmm!" Nodding kindly, Cao Bingkun had a scholarly atmosphere, revealing the style of a literati.
The family general and his eight guards did not dare to have a trace of arrogance to see Cao Bingkun leave, this young man who looked like a Sven man was actually poisonous. He was able to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion in a short period of time, not by virtue of the useless literary calligraphy and painting, but by relying on his wisdom and poison, which solved several problems for the old marquis, the eldest master, and the second master.
As a martial artist, the general instinctively feared Cao Bingkun. No matter how first-class Cao Bingkun's true level can be, the strategist is good if he can not be offended.
There is a mid-range restaurant not far from the Anping Hou Mansion, which seems to be very suitable for Cao Bingkun's taste, and Cao Bingkun often goes.
"Oh, Master Cao, are you here?" The little two at the door of the restaurant came up from afar to greet him.
"There's no one sitting in my seat, is there?" Cao Bingkun smiled gently, in response to Xiao Er's courtesy.
"Needless to say. Your throne has always been kept for you. ”
"Good! It's still the old rule, but keep the wine warm. ”
"Okay, it's going to be all right away. You invite the inside to drink tea first. ”
"A pot of incense."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Walking into the restaurant, Cao Bingkun actually saw two regular customers in the lobby, and there was no real friendship.
They greeted each other loudly, and when they arrived at their usual private room, the incense pieces had already been brewed.
……
"What does Cao Ye want is warm wine?"
"Yes, shopkeeper."
"I'll send it to Cao Ye personally."
……
"Haha Cao Ye, but it's been a while, the old man came to toast Cao Ye...... "The shopkeeper, who seems to be in his fifties, has a hearty voice coming from the private room.
"The Zhou army is about to start, and the Northern Han is fully prepared here. This is a list of troop allocations and baggage dispositions, as well as a map of the troop distribution in all theaters except Hedong. But it's just an approximation! Cao Bingkun lowered his voice, and at the same time, a small notebook the size of an inch thick slap was handed to the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper is polite, polite......"
"Mr. Cao's help to the Immortal Clan, the descendants of the Immortal Heaven will always remember." The shopkeeper excitedly took the small book handed by Cao Bingkun, which was really more important than his life.
Cao Bingkun's Yun family is the current ruling faction of the Northern Han Dynasty, Yun Han is not a prime minister, although he is no longer the original household secretary, but he serves as the imperial historian in the three dukes. And in charge of the household is his eldest son Yunqi, and at the same time, Yunqi also holds the position of ruling Jinwu.
The second son, Yun Fei, is the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and is the first assistant of the Ministry of War, and Cao Bingkun is the guest secretary of the Yun family.
