Chapter 267: Yang Zhi's troubles
Two days later, Hua Rong and Zeng Mi and their entourage entered the Qingzhou boundary.
Hua Rong is too familiar with Qingzhou, he is a native of Qingzhou, grew up in Qingzhou, and later served as a magistrate in Qingfeng Village until he was dragged into the water by Song Jiang.
After going ashore, he hired dozens of ox carts, loaded with 2,000 stone of rice, and went to Erlong Mountain.
Although it is a year of good weather and rain, and now it is the harvest season, there are many homeless people along the way in Qingzhou, with ragged clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, dragging their families with their mouths, which is in stark contrast to the prosperous Jinan.
"In order to curry favor with the emperor, Murong Yanda wantonly looted the people's wealth in Qingzhou, actively responded to the call of the imperial court, and engaged in Huashi Gang and Birthday Gang, a good Qingzhou, so that he could make the people's lives miserable!" Hua Rong said angrily.
"The world is as black as a crow, and the Great Song Dynasty is already rotten!" Zeng Mi sighed.
The two took out a cart of food and distributed it to the displaced people along the way.
The common people who received the food were grateful to them, and they all followed them, and there were more and more people, but they were afraid of the swords of the armorers, and did not dare to come near.
"These homeless people are very dangerous, they can do anything for a bite to eat!" Zeng Mi was worried.
Hua Rong Zhengse said: "The lord wants to become the king's business, and he needs the people to return to his heart, how can we drive away the people?" If the Yang Zhi brothers want to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, they are indispensable to the support of the people. ”
Zeng Mi glanced back at the homeless people who were following far behind, and after the grain was eaten, their eyes lit up, staring at the grain on the ox cart, and even looking at the cattle pulling the cart.
Fortunately, three days later, they arrived at the foot of Erlong Mountain.
After the little minion reported, Yang Zhi personally went down the mountain to greet him, his face was a little haggard, and he seemed to be very tired.
"Brother Huarong, why are you here!" Yang Zhi was surprised and delighted.
"Brother Yang Zhi is good?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Hua Rong introduced Zeng Mi, and then had another greeting.
"These grains, Brother Yang Zhi ordered people to resist and go up the mountain!" Hua Rong pointed to the grain behind him.
Yang Zhi said happily: "Great, the cottage is short of food!" Let's go, let the children carry the food, and the three of us go up and drink. ”
The three of them went up the mountain, Zeng Mi watched along the way, there was only a narrow stone path leading to the mountain, a man was a man who could not open it, it was extremely steep, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and the lineup was neat, which made him amazed.
Under a grass pavilion on the top of the mountain, there are tables and chairs, wine and meat, and the three of them drink and chat.
"The two virtuous brothers came, did they pass through Qingzhou, or did they come to help me?" After a few glasses of wine, Yang Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Zeng Mi smiled slightly, then stood up solemnly, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Yang Zhi with both hands.
"This is a letter from the lord to Brother Yang Zhi!"
Yang Zhiye's face was respectful, he got up to take the letter, and opened it to take a look.
He read it carefully, then put away the letter, stuffed it into his arms, waved his hand, shielded the left and right, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the two virtuous brothers are going to Liaoguo, I'm afraid you don't know, the situation in Liaoguo is not good now!" ”
Hua Rongjian raised his eyebrows and said curiously. "Oh, what's wrong?"
Yang Zhi drank a glass of wine, moistened his throat, and said: "Qingzhou is not far from Daliao, and there are often business travelers, so it is better informed. In the first month of last year, the Jin State captured the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and the Emperor Tianzuo of the Great Liao fled and disappeared. So the ministers in Yanjing supported Emperor Tianzuo's cousin Yeluchun as emperor. ”
"But Yelu Chun's life is thin, and he can't bear such a great blessing, so he died after being the emperor for less than half a year."
"Now it is Yelu Chun's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Xiao, and there are also Jiedu to make Yelu Dashi, Prime Minister Xiao Yixue, Generalissimo Li Chuwen and others in charge of the government, everyone wants to be in charge, no one is convinced, and everyone is arguing. To be honest, I don't even know who you should go to! ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"So complicated?" Hua Rong and Zeng Mi looked at each other.
Hua Rong suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Yang Zhi, do you know the current situation of Brother Li Jun?" ”
"Yes, I was about to say it!" Yang Zhi nodded and said, "If you go to Yanjing, you can take his boat, which is much safer than taking the land route." I'll send someone to contact him in a moment, it may take ten days and half a month, and you will stay with me for a while longer. "51 Beautiful
"Won't it bother you too much?" Zeng Mi hesitated.
"Eh, what are you talking about! It's all their own brothers, how can they be in trouble? Actually, I wish you would trouble me! ”
Yang Zhi sighed and said, "Brother Lu Zhishen and Brother Wu Song are not here, I am too lonely in Erlong Mountain!" Brother Zhang Qing and his mother-in-law Sun Erniang are two people, don't take me to play! ”
"What about Zhang Qingsun Erniang and his wife?" Listening to Yang Zhiyi, Hua Rong remembered the couple.
The two of them went down the mountain to inquire about the news. I heard that there is a very powerful green forest hero nearby, who is tall and powerful, and after they inquire clearly, I want to take someone to try it to see if I can subdue him and strengthen the strength of our army. ”
When Zeng Mi heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "What is this person's name?" ”
"Yu Baosi, the people of the rivers and lakes are called the god of danger."
"Haha......" Zeng Mi laughed, and said with confidence: "It turned out to be him, Brother Yang Zhi doesn't need to use force, I can recruit him by writing a letter!" ”
"Brother, you're not kidding me, are you?" Not only Yang Zhi was incredulous, but even Hua Rong looked at him in surprise.
Zeng Mi said with a smile: "This dangerous Dao god Yu Bao Si was originally a guest of my family, and later my father asked him to gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests in Qingzhou in order to take care of his business. ”
Yang Zhi was overjoyed and said: "This is great! Brother Zeng wrote a letter, and I sent someone to send it! ”
Zeng Mi immediately wrote a letter, and Yang Zhi immediately sent someone to send it.
"Hey!" Yang Zhi suddenly sighed.
"Why is my brother unhappy?" Hua Rong asked strangely.
Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't hide it from the two virtuous brothers, when the lord sent me to return to Qingzhou secretly, I was also ambitious, determined to annex the powerful and powerful in various places, unify the green forests of Qingzhou, and develop and grow." But for more than a year, you have been prosperous in Zhujiazhuang, and the court has fallen into a stream, and I can only be trapped in the territory of Erlong Mountain, which is really a heavy trust from the lord! ”
"How so? With Brother Yang Zhi's ability, wouldn't it be easy to recover all the bandits and robbers? Hua Rong knows Yang Zhi's martial arts, whether it is horse fighting, foot fighting, or cavalry archery, or the art of war, he is a rare general.
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "When I first came to Qingzhou, I also subdued a few bandits with my own martial arts, but these guys are used to being loose and can't stand it. ”
There were some things that Yang Zhi was embarrassed to say, but in fact, his original subordinates couldn't stand his character and secretly fled many people.
Hearing this, Hua Rong and Zeng Mi looked at each other, even if they didn't know Yang Zhi's past, they already understood that Yang Zhi was strict and unkind to his subordinates, so his subordinates couldn't stand his tyranny.
It seems that the lord sent him to Qingzhou, and he made some mistakes.
Yang Zhi's ability is indeed enough to take charge and dominate the party, but his character is flawed and needs to be made up for by one person.
After Hua Rong decided to go back, he told Zhu Long, he thought about it and said, "Brother Yang Zhi, why don't you write to tell the lord and ask him to send someone to help you?" ”
"This, this ......" Yang Zhi was silent.
Hua Rong couldn't guess Yang Zhi's thoughts, maybe he couldn't let go, maybe he didn't want anyone to hinder him, anyway, he couldn't continue to ask.
He thought for a moment, showed a narrow smile, and said: "Anyway, Brother Zeng Mi and I are also idle here, it is better to pick a cottage and find out their bad luck!" ”
"Great idea!" Zeng Mi agreed loudly.
Yang Zhi hesitated: "You two are running all the way, let's rest for a while!" ”
Zeng Mi smiled: "I am on the boat every day, my body and bones are rusty, it's time to come out and do activities!" Brother Yang Zhi, where is there a thorny man, let's go and subdue him together! ”
Yang Zhi hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "There are two leaders on Peach Blossom Mountain, one is the tiger general Li Zhong, and the other is the little overlord Zhou Tong, there are four or five hundred people under his command, I went to pull them into the gang, but they refused, and Zhou Tong also said a lot of ugly things, which really me off." ”
"I beat them twice, but he couldn't beat them, and I was bored when I thought about it. It would be great if the two virtuous brothers were willing to take this cottage for me! ”
After listening to Yang Zhi's words, Hua Rong smiled: "What's so difficult about this? Rest for the night today and go early tomorrow morning! ”
Yang Zhi persuaded: "Brother Xian should not be underestimated, then Li Zhong and Zhou Tong's martial arts are mediocre, but the cottage is on the top of the mountain, surrounded by steep cliffs, there is only one way to go up, they are guarding in a narrow and steep place, it is difficult to attack it!" ”
"Don't worry, brother, the younger brother has his own clever plan, let them fall into the net!"
