Approaching the evening, Yi Tianhang led his troops to rush to Jiangyang City, because the sky was dark, and there was no scout sentry to report in advance, the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw a group of men and horses running outside the city, thinking that the barbarian army had killed them, and the city gate was quickly closed with a wide open "squeak", and the city head was suddenly crowded with people, and the drums were vibrating, and in a short time, the city wall was already full of swords and guns, strong bows and arrows, and crossbows were wound, and it was like the posture of facing the enemy.

Outside the city, Yi Tianhang saw this kind of formation for the first time, and hurriedly looked back, and Huang Fa rushed forward and said: "It's bad, my lord, my subordinates forgot about this, my department came to Jiangyang without informing the guards in advance, and at this moment eighty percent of them are regarded as enemies." ”

"You?" Yi Tianhang wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to blame Huang Fa for only a few words, but it didn't help.

Yi Tianhang had to ride alone to the city gate, revealing his identity, so as not to cause a greater misunderstanding.

Now that the barbarian army is pressing, everyone is like a frightened bird.

Yi Tianhang led his men and horses into the city, and was arranged to rest in a camp, and the matter of grain and grass was really as Huang Facai said, Qu Du transferred grain, not in accordance with the rules, Jiangyang's leading soldiers were also quite difficult to do, not only could not bear to see their comrades starving, and did not dare to violate the law, so they could only prepare more hot water for these more than 400 people to wash and clean.

Yi Tianhang was carefree, summoned Huang Facai, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, and said: "Four hundred people, three days' rations, is it enough?" ”

Huang Facai looked at the silver ticket and said: "Each person needs 20 yuan a day, 60 yuan for 3 days, and 24,000 yuan for 400 people, which is 24,000 taels of silver, which is enough, enough, my lord is really generous, and I will only pay 500 yuan a month." ”

"Huh? With such a low salary, why do you still want to join the army? ”

"What did the adults say, these five hundred dollars are counted, and there is a stable income of six taels of silver a year, and the soldiers do not worry about food and clothing, and the money saved is enough for the family to make a living, which is much better than farming at home.

"Well, each has its own way of living."

Yi Tianhang thought to himself, he and Xu Yanshan were in the Wanxiang Restaurant in Duqing, three or five people had to spend three or four taels of silver for a meal of wine, what is expensive, what is good, what is rare, what are they eating, and the wine is also the best Hexiang wine, spring wine, etc., I didn't expect that the people and soldiers at the bottom would fight for their lives to survive, and I remembered Qi Rong's huge wealth, with an annual salary of three thousand taels! Tangmen is really rich.

Yi Tianhang reached out and touched the frost deception knife placed beside him, and secretly said that this is not a knife, this is white silver.

"My lord? This silver ticket? Huang Fa saw that Yi Tianhang seemed to be distracted, pinching the silver ticket and not giving it, so he reminded again.

"Oh, go to the grain store to order three days' rations, and the excess Governor will have a good meal for the brothers tonight, and a restaurant will certainly not be able to keep it busy, so find more brothers, and go to all the taverns and restaurants in the city to buy food and drink, and the Governor does not want the brothers to do it. The other went to the commander of the city to pay a respect, and said that the brothers were tired from working for several days, and they would have fun tonight for the time being. ”

"Okay, thank you, my subordinates are here to thank you for the brothers." Huang Facai didn't expect that this "villain" in front of him would spend more than 70 taels of silver to invite them to dinner, and he secretly summed it up, and each brother could get almost 200 yuan, which is absolutely everyone can eat and drink a lot of fish.

"Okay, you're welcome, hurry up, it's getting dark. By the way, by the way, I will inquire about the easy dart line. ”

"My subordinates obey the order and do it immediately." The yellow hair took the order and left in ecstasy.

Yi Tianhang looked at the figure of Huang Facai, thinking that this little person is actually the happiest, with small desires and easy to satisfy, think about it, this is the most relaxed and comfortable way to live.

Yi Tianhang paid out of his own pocket to solve the problem of grain and grass, and invited his brothers to drink wine and eat meat, the news spread instantly, and the notoriety that he had saved before was also slightly dissipated.

After a short time, Huang Fa came to the tent of Yitian Airlines, and said with a happy face: "Your Excellency, all the affairs have been arranged, and the brothers are only waiting for the adults to sit at the table; Yi Xing Dart Xing has also been found, but the head of the dart named Zhang Dai is not in Jiangyang, and he took people to Jiawu a few days ago. ”

"Okay, the governor knows, let's go, eat and drink."

In the early morning of the second day, Yi Tianhang got up early, and the atmosphere was good last night, and he drank and talked with his brothers, which brought the feelings closer a lot, and several tun chiefs took turns to toast and compete to show goodwill.

Now no one can see that this Yiqu Du is the descendant of General Mu, although he is ruthless and unkind, but he is not bad to the brothers, and he has good martial arts, is proficient in military affairs, and the marching formation is quite orderly.

Early in the morning, Huang Facai was waiting outside the tent, and when he saw that Yitianhang woke up, he entered the tent with a sound.

"Chief Huang Tun, what's going on early in the morning?" Yi Tianhang asked while washing.

"My lord, it's not that there is something wrong with my subordinates, but that someone wants to see him."

"Oh? Zhang Dai? ”

"No, it's a buddy from the dart shop."

"Let him in." Yi Tianhang picked up a towel and wiped his face, and said.

After a while, Huang Fa led a person in, and Yi Tianhang carefully looked at the person in front of him, who was not the group of people under Zhang Dai half a year ago, and asked, "Who are you Yi Xing Dart?" What is the matter with the Doge? ”

The man was only eighteen or nineteen years old, a little nervous, knelt down on one knee and saluted and said: "The villain has seen Lord Qudu, the villain is a guy in the dart head of the dart shop, yesterday evening, there was a military master to inquire about the head of the dart, the villain guessed that it was the old man of the head of the dart, so he kept an eye, followed all the way, and the barracks guard inquired, and learned that it was your subordinate, so he took the liberty to come today." ”

"Huh? To put it bluntly, Zhang Dai and I are friends. ”

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down again and said, "This is very good, and please ask for your help." ”

Yi Tianhang changed his clothes and armor, and the yellow hair stepped forward to help, and when the clothes and armor were neat, Yi Tianhang said: "Get up and talk, something happened to Zhang Dai?" ”

The young man replied: "Zhang Darttou escorted the Jiangyang caravan to Jiawu a month ago, and it is said that he should have come back ten days ago, even if there is a delay in Jiawu, there should be a letter, but there is no news today, and the villain is extremely worried, but only the villain and a few old servants are left behind, and he can't send someone to investigate, so he dares to ask Lord Qudu." ”

"Oh? Away for a month and no news? Hearing this, Yi Tianhang secretly thought to himself, could it be that he encountered a barbarian soldier hiding in the mountains and forests when he was walking a dart? He continued to ask: "In the past few months, what is abnormal about Zhang Daike?" ”

The dart guy thought about it carefully and said: "Two months ago, the head of the dart had been nervous for a few days, and there were many excuses for the caravan that came to the door, and he had privately said that it was not normal in recent days, and the bandits who had gathered in the mountains and forests along the road from Jiangyang to Jiawu all the year round suddenly decreased by half, although it was a good thing to walk the dart, but he always felt uneasy. Then came a big deal, and the price offered by the merchant was very high, and the chief dart did not hold back, so he led the brothers to take the job. ”

"Well, Bendu knows, you can go back, so you can guard the dart line and wait for your head dart to come back."

"Adult~~~"

"This matter will be investigated by the Governor, you can just guard the dart line with peace of mind."

The dart shop man left with a thousand thanks, and Yi Tianhang said to Huang Facai: "I wanted to rest here for a few more days, but the old man is suspected of encountering an accident, which is very likely to be related to the hidden barbarian army, you immediately go to the grain store to prepare enough food and grass for ten days, and tell the brothers to pack up and prepare to go." Also, hire a few wagons, fill them with hay and firewood to pass them off as food, and prepare a few barrels of tung oil. ”

Yi Tianhang said, and took out a hundred taels of silver ticket to Huang Facai, Huang Facai's eyes were straight, thinking that this Yida is really wealthy, and he actually paid for the purchase of military funds, and he made some silver taels privately by purchasing wine and food yesterday, and today he can ask the grain store shopkeeper for some kickbacks.

"Subordinates receive orders." Huang Fa took the silver ticket, and Mei Zizi personally handled it.

Yi Tianhang sat in the tent and thought: "Most of the bandits from Jiangyang to Jiawu are less, and Zhang Dai has no news of his darts. ”

Three days later, at the border of Jiangyang, Yitianhang rode a horse to the forefront, and it was basically determined that there were barbarian troops here, and met a few people who came to Jiangyang from Jiawu along the road, and learned through inquiry that in the past two months, none of the bandits blocking the road have disappeared, and this wilderness road has not been so safe for many years.

Yi Tianhang guessed that the barbarian army must have exterminated all the bandits in the mountains and forests for fear of revealing their whereabouts, and Zhang Dai and others should have escorted the goods too eye-catching and were looted by the barbarian army.

At this time, the Yitianhang Tribes had pretended to be the baggage battalion of the Qi army to lure the barbarian army to appear.

This barbarian looks no different from the Qi people and the Zhou people, and if he understands the language, he will definitely disguise himself to go out of the mountain to find out information, how can he let go of the fat sent to the door?

Yitianhang led the troops to travel for another half a day, and in the evening, camped and rested.

Because there are no equipment, the wall cannot be erected, and the camp is in the open area under this mountain, which is really a situation where the enemy is attacked on all sides, but it is easier to lure the barbarian army to take the bait.

It is also strictly ordered by Tianhang, the whole army is wrapped in clothes and sleeps, weapons must not leave their hands, each tun is on duty in shifts, and more than ten sentinels are ambushed in the direction of the mountains and forests, ready to be prepared, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

At midnight, everyone has fallen asleep, and Yitianhang has taken a nap, standing in the moonlight at this moment, looking at the direction of Jiawu, there are still six or seven days away from Jiawu City, this place will be enough to bring grain and grass, and I only hope to lure out the barbarian army hiding here as soon as possible.

I don't know if Zhang Dai and the others are alive or dead, think about it carefully, those people are still good, but they became bandits because of their bad fate, and now they are on the right path, it is a pity and sad if they die.

In this world, how can there be so many satisfactory things, and people have come to this world to suffer in this life.

If you are born in a poor family, you can only work hard for survival in this life, and there are very few self-made people who are rich in their later years.

The road of life is not easy, the most important thing is contentment, but most people are often confused by the world, for their children, for their children, for themselves, for the white flowers, for the satisfaction of the superior, desperately struggle all their lives, in the end it is nothing more than dust to dust.
