Chapter 50: Grain and Grass First
"Wen Dao and I, the reason why we value you so much is because you are from the other side of the Banlun Mountain Range. The High Priest said this solemnly.
"From the other side of the mountains?" Zhong Hui touched his head, his face confused.
The archpriest looked at Zhong Hui and nodded.
"So what? Isn't there anyone coming from the other side of the mountain?" Zhonghui asked suspiciously, feeling that his doubts these days were about to be solved.
"It's because someone once came from the Banlun Mountain Range that we take you so seriously. With that, the High Priest fell into memory.
"Speaking of which, there are not many people who know about this matter, the people who came from the Banlun Mountain Range back then, from the founding of the Central Chu Empire to the present, there are only five people, these five people, one is the founding emperor of the Central Chu Empire, His Majesty Guan Xiaofan, and two others, respectively, General Changsheng of Zhenguo Gong and Liu Yu, the Duke of Linglang, as for the other two, they are all great heroes who saved the Central Chu Empire from chaos and danger. ”
After saying this, the high priest turned his head, looked at Zhong Hui and said, "You now know why we attach so much importance to you." Those who can come from the Banlun Mountain Range, no matter what method you use to come over, as long as it is the people over there, for hundreds of years, all of them are dragons among people, and they are all great heroes who saved Zhongchu from danger, this is like God bless me Zhongchu, and will always stand up when Zhongchu needs people the most. ”
When Zhong Hui heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Priest, are you wrong, I am not the kind of person who can save a country from danger, and now the Zhongchu Empire is thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people live very happily, I think you are looking for the wrong person, although I am from the Banlun Mountain Range, I may be the exception." ”
Zhong Hui didn't want him to know that he was not from there at all, but according to what he said, those who came from there were all the best heroes, big heroes, his own appearance, let himself be a big hero, that is not to let himself die, he still wants to live a few more days, but he doesn't want to leave so early.
"Hehe, don't get excited, this is just a legend from the past, it shouldn't be true, I didn't say that you are a big hero, just kidding, just tell you about the past, don't panic, just listen to a story." ”
Zhong Hui hurriedly touched the sweat on his head, scared him to death, he was just a fake mountain visitor, if he was regarded as the savior of the Zhongchu Empire, then maybe he would arrange something for himself to save the world, he still knew that he had a few green onions and a few garlics, if he was entrusted with a heavy task, then he would die in a minute.
"Don't make such jokes to me, Lord Priest, I can't bear it enough. ”
"Hehe, it's okay, just take it as a joke. It's been years, and my old man hasn't told these stories to anyone. The High Priest said with a smile.
Zhong Hui scratched his head embarrassedly, he didn't quite understand what the hell this high priest was doing.
"Okay, that's all for today, you go out with the moon girl. I'm just looking at you, there's nothing else to do, let's talk slowly next time I have time. ”
Hearing this, Zhonghui was relieved, exhaled, stood up and bowed to the high priest, and then withdrew.
When Zhong Hui walked away, a man came out of the wooden house next to him, sat down next to the high priest, and asked, "Old man, you also saw it today, does he look like a man from over there?"
The high priest glanced at him and said, "What if it is like it? What if it is not like it? Although the current empire seems to be calm and calm, singing and dancing, in fact, it is difficult to return, and he is terminally ill, and he does not know when a storm will come, if he is destined to be the one who is destined, it is a blessing for the empire, if not, eh......"
The old man's eyes were deep and he looked into the distance.
It is the summer solstice, and the afternoon sun is scorching the earth, and people become very lazy in such weather.
On the official road from Linglang County to Shangjing, there is a thousand-person team transporting a batch of grain and grass.
This batch of grain and grass is the first batch of grain and grass collected in Linglang County after the summer, and the grain and grass transfer in the capital is in a hurry for this batch of grain and grass, and in order to hurry up and send it to Shangjing, there are not many troops to escort this batch of grain and grass. Besides, in the hinterland of the empire, what other big risks can be encountered?
In the col not far from this grain and grass team, there are more than 3,000 bandits, and this group of more than 3,000 thieves is the group of people from Huotou Mountain.
Today, Wu Mang's spies saw a large group of men and horses carrying things on the official road at the foot of Huotou Mountain, and as soon as they heard the news, Wu Mang prepared to take down the fat sheep so that the brothers could be comfortable for a few days.
A group of people waited in the col, waiting for the spies to inquire about the good news before taking action.
Wu Mang was sitting on a big rock, holding a pot of wine, when he suddenly heard a chatter from a distance, it seemed that the spies had returned.
The person who came hurriedly ran over, didn't have time to drink saliva, ran to Wu Mang, and said to Wu Mang: "The big one, the small one let the brothers observe in many ways, and learned that it was not a caravan, but an army transporting grain and grass for the imperial court, and there were as many as 1,000 people, the army formation was tight, the lineup was tight, and the marching speed was very fast. ”
Wu Mang listened to the report, his brows furrowed, this is a hard bone, he thought about it and asked, "How many things do they transport?"
The captain said excitedly: "The little one saw it with his own eyes, there were thirty-two cars, and the queue was almost half a mile, if this batch of goods was intercepted, it would be possible for the brothers to live happily until this winter." ”
Wu Mang listened to his words, and was a little cautious in his heart, if he could take down the thirty-two carts of things, it would not be what he wanted, but thinking that the other party was an officer and soldier, and it didn't seem to be weak, he had no bottom in his heart, and this time he came out, he would bring three thousand people, if he could fight it, it would be fine, if he couldn't beat it, then his old bottom would be over.
Just when Wu Mang was struggling to make a decision, the spy spoke again.
"Are the big bosses worried that they won't be able to eat them? The big bosses don't need to worry at all, the small ones have already probed carefully just now, although this group of people is difficult to deal with, but they are just simple infantry, and everyone is dressed lightly, and the small ones have a plan. ”
After saying this, the spy approached Wu Mang and said in a low voice: "The little one has already understood the terrain of this five-mile radius before, and there is a canyon road three miles away from them, and from this road to the capital, you can save half a day's time, and the small one sees that they are marching in a hurry, and they must take that road, as long as we ambush them in that place first, wait for them to enter the canyon, block the exit, and then let the archers release their arrows, that's fine." ”
