Chapter 564: Zengtou City
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the rise of the family, it has mastered the local government, the imperial power is empty, so that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, there are countless disputes in the local area, but the people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable, Zhujiazhuang and Liangshan war, the court is like a deaf and blind man, ignore it, and no one will send a letter to the capital.
Even if someone sends it, this matter will sink into the sea after turning around in the Privy Council, and it will not affect the bastard emperor Zhao Guan's family at all.
The officials who have made a difference in the local government have heard this, and Zhujiazhuang is only 500 villagers, and they will not take it to heart.
Who can't take out three or five thousand fighting men in the local area? This Zhujiazhuang is only out of 500 people, so it's nothing.
But in any case, after all, Liang Shanbo produced more than 6,000 people, but he was defeated by Zhujiazhuang, which is enough to show the strength of Zhujiazhuang and Zhu Biao's strength.
Zhujiazhuang has money and food, and it is true that Jinshan Yinhai is true, but no matter how many people covet it, they are also fatal, and if they can not provoke it, they will not provoke it.
But it was said that the time entered February, and Song Jiang, who had lost an ear and an arm, returned to Liangshanbo alone, and after being blamed by a leader, he was disheartened and was assigned an idle position.
And Chao Gai arranged for Wu Yong to take tens of thousands of gold and silver, rushed to Zhujiazhuang, whispered, and finally redeemed Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Yang Lin, and Shi Xiu.
As soon as Shi Xiu returned to Liangshan, Chao Gai didn't say a word, and immediately ordered him to be beheaded and sacrificed, and with his head, he worshiped Qin Ming and other four or five thousand Liangshan brothers.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
In Lingzhou, Shandong, there is a caravan of one or two hundred people walking on the official road.
The leader of the team is Zhu Biao's henchman Zhu Chen Fan, he brought twenty or thirty people from the Zhujiazhuang Guards, and his assistant is Zhu Biao in Jingyang Gangxia knew Qinghe County businessman Chen Hai, as early as three years ago, he became a big shopkeeper of Zhujia Commercial Bank, responsible for the trade routes, Zhujiazhuang production of drunken tiger and other products to promote to the Jingdong area.
Zhu Chen Fan is already Zhu Biao's henchman, and usually this kind of work will not let him come out, but this time it is different, because this is a business with maritime merchants, so Zhu Chen Fan personally leads the team.
This trip has been going for more than a month, and I am now on my way back.
And I wish Chen Fan and Chen Hai great joy in their hearts.
Because he bought a big Wanliang horse from a maritime merchant, very tall and strong, with fur like snow, and extremely beautiful, it is said that it is the Liao State and the Jin Kingdom in the northeast, and it is not so tall and majestic.
If this horse is given to Zhu Biao, he must be very happy.
The lord is happy, and naturally believes in himself more, and with the expansion of their careers, their status will naturally rise, and it is not a problem.
Everything is simple when you go out, but the weather in March has come to the spring cold, the wind is blowing, it is cold and biting, although the two hundred people have a strong physique, but there are also unlucky people who suffer from the wind cold, fortunately, this is a minor illness, drink some hot soup and hot water can carry it.
Zhu Chen Fan and Chen Hai are not indifferent people, everyone saw this, naturally took out the money, bought a few sheep in the nearby Zengtou City, slaughtered them directly on the spot, and stewed the cauldron to treat the caravan once, which can also be regarded as an incentive, so that everyone can be energetic, and the first night is naturally resting on the edge of Zengtou City.
"After the Changbai Mountain, along the Qinghe River, to Licheng, close to our Yanggu County, then everything will be easy, before this, there can be no slack. We must remember the regulations formulated by Biao Ye for us, all places are as strong as wolves, and neighboring counties are enemy countries, so we can't be careless. Zhu Chen Fan said to a few small leaders and the like.
"Zhu is right, most of the people in this Zengtou City are not my Han people, but Jurchens, there are many outlaws under him, and there are also five or seven thousand people, and we should not be underestimated." Chen Hai also said.
"The two teams are reassuring that we will be cautious."
"That's right, when we're away from home, we're naturally careful about what we say and do."
"It's ......"
Zhu Chen Fan nodded, and said: "Having said that, but we also have to stand up, you must know that our lord is the best man in the world, that is, Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and he can't stand the lord's move, we have practiced the Xuanyuan Forging Technique, and our strength and skills have increased a lot, so we must not fall into the prestige of Zhujiazhuang!" ”
While he was talking, someone ran over quickly, it was a sentry arranged to guard around, this Ding looked a little nervous, and said in a low voice after coming over: "A few horses ran over just now, they should have entered the town." ”
"We are fallen, we are full of weapons, this is the official road, there must be a lot of fast horse messengers or something, don't worry too much." Someone spoke.
"Everyone is energetic after eating today, and I will leave early tomorrow, the closer I am to Yunzhou, the more relieved I will be." Some people also said in a muffled voice, and everyone agreed.
After eating and drinking, the bonfire was not extinguished, the lights were warmed, and there was no slack in the sentry post or anything, but it was not much different from the previous road, and the night was still peaceful.
???? The next morning, everyone got up and was busy, and the individual processed the personal privacy in advance, and then made a fire to prepare for departure, but when the mutton soup in the pot began to boil, many people poured over from Zengtou City, and walked towards this side with a menacing momentum.
The other party is violent, and the Zhujiazhuang guards do not have the taboo of "Wang Fa", they all talk about the flat end of the spear in their hands, and the archers jump on the cart, prepare the bow and arrow, half open, and form a strict military formation one by one, looking at each other murderously.
In the past, they also faced the bandits and local heroes who came to rob many times, and they were very experienced, and they usually raised their spears and bows and arrows to show a cold light, and the opposite side was already timid.
And after Zhu Biao broke Liangshanbo some time ago, the evil caravan in Zhujiazhuang was even more unimpeded, and there was no way to stop the road.
But recently it was different, the other party was about seven or eight hundred people, two or three hundred horses, all fierce and vicious, arrogant posture, not only did the leader have no fear, but a little fierce.
This man wears a golden helmet, iron armor, and a velvet silk belt around his waist, and rides a fast horse, a bow and arrows, a scarlet robe, a stirrup on his feet, and a steel spear in his hand. There are a few people around him, all of whom are broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and they look extraordinary.
I only heard the leader shout: "What are you thieves and birds, armed in broad daylight, what are you doing here?" Rebellion? ”
Zhu Chen Fan snorted coldly, suddenly grabbed the weapon bag next to him, pulled out a short spear, and threw it forward suddenly, the short spear was like a meteor, and with a "buzz" sound, it pierced the sky and accurately nailed it to the ground in front of the horse in front of the seat.
"We are all caravans from Zhujiazhuang in Yunzhou, if you don't want to die, say something quickly!"
This shot was thrown, accurate and precise, the head of the gun pierced into the ground, and the tail of the gun buzzed and swayed, but it scared the group of people in Zengtou City!
The person at the head was a hard character, but he was slightly stunned, and his face was as usual, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, several people walked from the back to the front row, shouting loudly: "Can you scare people with knives and guns?" Can you steal our sheep with swords and guns? ”
Hearing this shout, the guarded Zhujiazhuang guards couldn't help but be stunned, a few of them followed the past to buy sheep yesterday, and immediately roared back: "Nonsense, we gave money, you have a lot more here than in the market outside!" ”
"Zeng Yidao, you came out, did they give you money?" The leader shouted back.
"Don't do this!"
I wish Chen Fan a heavy dantian and suddenly roared!
The scene was silent!
"In the past two years, our caravan in Zhujiazhuang has encountered not a hundred such plantings, but also eighty!"
Zhu Chen Fan has experienced a lot, and he is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he shouted coldly: "We showed the barrel of the gun, you are all so fearless, it seems that you are purely looking for trouble!" Don't you know that our Yunzhou Yanggu County Zhu Biao Biao is amazing! ”
"Haha...... it's a guy with sharp teeth!"
The leader laughed: "What Zhu Biao, what land dragon king, it's just a little kid who blows the atmosphere and deceives the world!" Zhu Biao and Na Chao Gai played a good show, but how can they hide it from me Zeng Tu? ”
"This is Lingzhou, this is Zengtou City, a small caravan of more than 200 people, actually dares to show off their might with weapons, they don't know how to pay tolls, they don't know how to make offerings, they don't break your corpses into thousands of pieces, you don't know how powerful I am in Zengtou City!"
The one named Zeng Tu, standing tall on a horse, holding a spear in his hand, shouted coldly!
Ever painted?
I wish Chen Fan's eyes were sharp, and he knew it in his heart.
Zeng Tu is the eldest son of Zeng Lang, the mayor of Zengtou, who is over fifty years old. Originally a native of Dajin, he came to the Central Plains to do some ginseng trading when he was young, and gathered tens of thousands of family fortunes. Because of his strength, he dominated the village and changed its name to Zengtou City. Zeng Lane was a foreign national, and the government did not dare to offend, so the power of Zeng Tou City became bigger and bigger. The five sons under the knee are: Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Sheng. I also invited two heroes: Shi Wengong and Su Ding, to see the head and deputy head of Zengtou City. Zengtou City has a ground radius of hundreds of miles, a large population, more than 10,000 military horses, and five big villages, no one dares to provoke
At this moment, when he saw the caravan of more than 200 people, he carried a lot of goods and money, and found that there was an extremely strong horse inside, so he coveted it, and coupled with their strong strength, they naturally did not take Zhujiazhuang in their eyes, so they used their means to come and rob it.
