Chapter 153: Jin County

Li Ran didn't delay any longer on the road and went straight to Jin County.

The county seat of Jinxian is not big, from outside the city to outside the city, it is peaceful and peaceful, but it is not as lively as before.

The two stewards who arrived in King County in advance had already rented a very spacious house.

The two stewards went out of the city to meet Li Ran, followed by the car, half reported and half introduced:

Jin County to the west, catch up with the half-day road, out of the imperial court's boundary, into Shu, and then catch up with the half-day road, is Shu to the nearest Yang County to the imperial court.

The imperial army was pushed to Jin County, and after seventeen or eighteen years, it was on guard with Shu, at least from Jin County to Yang County, it was just a patrol between you and me, and there was no real sword soldier.

In the past seventeen or eighteen years, both sides have turned a blind eye to the businessmen who come and go.

From Shu to the imperial court, as well as from the imperial court to Shu merchants and caravans who come and go to do business, seventy or eighty percent of them are taking the route from Yang County to Jin County.

The caravan that passed from the imperial court, before leaving the imperial court's territory, if Jin County had eaten and slept well, and had enough mental and physical strength, the city gate would set off as soon as it opened, and it would be hurried all the way.

After all, further ahead is the border, and out of the border is the other party's border, and it is necessary to catch up with the whole day's road in one go.

The businessmen who came from Shu County, recuperated their physical strength in Yang County, held their breath to catch up with the day's journey, and rushed to Jin County at the gate of Guancheng, so they should also take a good breath, take a rest, and celebrate.

After all, if you enter Jin County safely, this trip to the business will be considered a success.

Because of these caravans, in the past ten years, Jin County has been very prosperous.

Li Ran and his entourage of one or two hundred people, originally, the house that could accommodate so many people was almost impossible to find in Jinxian County.

But the fact that the imperial court wants to raise troops against Shu has spread in Jin County since a month ago, after all, there are too many imperial armies with bright swords and armor passing through Jin County.

The rich are always one step ahead of the danger perceived.

In Jinxian County, the rich people who have accumulated wealth because of the prosperity of more than ten years hurriedly packed up, packed up their wealth, and moved to Xiangyang and other places.

The mansions rented by the two stewards are the residences of one of the largest merchants in Jin County.

This family has earned enough money in the past ten years, and has already placed a house in Xiangyang Mansion, and when they heard that there was going to be a war, they simply moved their family to Xiangyang Mansion.

The master's house has just moved out, and the two stewards have been working day and night, five or six days early, and they have asked someone to clean up and clean up, and everything in the house is complete and very clean.

Mama Sang, Ziqi and the others were busy cleaning up again and settling their luggage. Li Ran and Zhou E called Taonong, took Wang Cui and Shen Mai, and went to the county seat.

The county seat is very small, from west to east a main street, but it is very wide and neat, almost two-story facades on both sides of the road, with inns and restaurants in the majority.

After walking half the street, Zhou E suddenly sighed: "Jin County was slaughtered once." ”

"Huh?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E in amazement.

"I've heard about it." Momono answered lightly.

Wang Cui and Shen Mai were just vigilant around, as if they hadn't heard Zhou E's words.

"It's been more than 20 years, almost 30 years, at that time I had just become a thousand-commander, the capital was besieged, it was very critical, and I and several other commanders went out of the city to recruit soldiers."

Zhou E put her hands behind her back, was silent for a while, and sighed.

"At that time, it was true, from the capital all the way to Jinxian, only the dead were seen but not the living.

Ten miles away from Jin County, I met a large group of men and women who had fled, and when I rushed up to talk about recruitment, they were all willing, both men and women.

I was surprised, this soldier has never been so easy to recruit, and when I asked, I found out that they were all from Jin County, and Jin County had just been slaughtered.

At that time, I had just been a soldier for a few years, and I heard about the massacre of the city all day long, how tragic it was, but I had never seen it before, so I wanted to see it.

After settling the group and letting a few colonels take them to rest in formation for a while, I rode over to watch the slaughter.

Ten miles of travel is a matter of one breath. ”

Zhou E let out a long sigh, and Tao Nong glanced at her obliquely and rolled her eyes upward.

"It's miserable, it's still a mile or two away from the city, and the smell of blood...... Alas!

At that time, I was young, and I wanted to see everything, but now, I can't say anything to see it, and I haven't heard the word slaughter! ”

"Who did it?" Li Ran asked.

Not far in front of her, the exquisite luxury of Huanmen in front of a restaurant was no less than the Huanmen of Qingfeng Building in the capital, and she couldn't imagine what it was like when the city was slaughtered.

"A small group of bandits, the leader is called Hu Laosan, he is a porter, tall and fierce, in troubled times, he got the opportunity, first entangled a group of porters, and then more and more people were coerced, at most, there were twenty or thirty thousand people.

I put the people recruited in King County into a team.

After Hu Laosan slaughtered Jin County, he occupied Cao County next door, proclaimed himself emperor in Cao County, and pulled all the women of Cao County from six to sixty years old into his palace.

A good Cao County, who has been plagued by him for two or three months, can't even stay anymore, with his full set of luan, those women in his harem, picked a hundred young and good-looking ones to take with them, and killed the rest, saying that it was to preserve their chastity! ”

Zhou E took a sip.

"After the siege of the capital was lifted, there was a time, coincidentally, on the way I led the troops to the expedition, I heard that Cao Laosan still had four or five thousand people left, and it was only a hundred and ten miles away from us, so I ......"

Zhou E laughed dryly.

"After a little detour, it can be regarded as revenge for those people in Jin County. Fortunately, that battle was fought smoothly, and later the credit was overcome. ”

Zhou E smiled dryly, "It was Marquis Li who spoke for me, saying that if I didn't bypass and kill Cao Laosan first, according to Cao Laosan's bastardity, maybe he would sneak attack from behind and let us suffer from the enemy." ”

"I heard that the general said that you are a fierce general, but you can't be a commander?" Momonon glanced at Zhou E again.

"I just don't want to be in charge! What's wrong? Zhou E glared at Taonong.

Momonong rolled his eyes and snorted.

"To be the boss, you have to be cold-blooded first, everything can only measure the gains and losses, even if your father and mother are pushed to the front of the enemy by the enemy, you can only watch, it's better not to cry, I can't do it, I don't want to do it.

As a coach, it's best to be like your lord, and the six relatives don't recognize ......"

"How do you speak?" Momonong slapped Zhou E violently.

"That's right." Wang Cui turned his head and continued, "The handsome man used to say that those who are handsome must be hard-hearted. ”

"Pick a restaurant, eat and then go back?" Li Ran diverted the topic.

"Go to that house!"

Momino turned his head and pointed to a restaurant he had just walked by.

"As for the eyesight to find food, I have to be responsible, let me tell you, on this street, which family is designated as having the best food."

Li Ran turned around with a smile, and several people entered the restaurant pointed out by Tao Nong.
