Chapter 525 Everywhere Brick Family Professor

In late June, the weather in Chuzhou can be described as a flowing fire, the hot air is distorted and deformed, as if in a big steamer, the Vermilion Bird City located in the Xiangshui Basin does not have a trace of coolness because it leans against the river bank, and the whole city is like a burning iron furnace, and even the people are melted.

It has been a few days since the autumn harvest, but the grain prices in the Suzaku City are like this distorted scorching temperature, rising vigorously, and the teahouses, restaurants, and even the red courtyards of the flower buildings are even more hot.

Experts who are often seen on the earth and are used to seeing them say that expert comments have also been moved to this otherworldly city by Leng Zhuo, a traverser.

At the end of June, in the streets of Suzaku Castle at noon, except for the convoys that came and went to transport grain, even small traders would not choose this time to sell, and even if they did, they would hide in the shady alleys and enjoy the coolness.

There are occasional pedestrians on the streets, and they are also in a hurry, not wanting to stay for a minute longer under the sun that can steam people, but there are few people on the streets, but the teahouses and wine shops all over the city seem to be extremely popular.

In these places, there are wind gusts, and an ice basin is placed in front of the wind gusts, and the faint blowing wind blows with a trace of cold coolness, which makes people feel extraordinarily comfortable.

Liuyun Teahouse, located in the east of the city, is one of the many industries of the Jiang family, the whole three-storey teahouse, in addition to the private room on the top floor, the upper seat on the second floor and the public seat on the first floor are full of Deng, drinking chilled sour plum tea in summer has long been a tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years, even the porter will spend a few copper coins at this time, buy a pot of sour plum tea with ice ballast and drink it.

In the backyard of Liuyun Teahouse, there is a pigeon cage, the pigeon cage is specially bred with the wind carrier pigeon, this first-order bird has the characteristics of knowing the nest, and the flight speed is extremely fast, but the establishment of this kind of pigeon station is not small, but also to have a special breeder, not everyone can build it.

Coo, coo, a carrier pigeon swept through a light wind, flapped its wings and landed on the pigeon cage in the yard, and the person in charge of guarding the pigeon cage was a septuagenarian, sitting on a chaise longue, holding a small teapot in his hand, and earnestly teaching the two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys beside him.

Hearing the pigeon's call, the old man's squinting eyes opened a slit, pointed to a young man with a fan, and said: "Go, bring Xiao Qi, feed some millet first, serve some water, and then touch its head, don't startle it, and then gently hold its body"

"Yes, be careful, don't hurt its feathers, hold it in one hand, and then come out of the letter"

Under the guidance of the old man, the young man finally took out the paper in the bamboo tube on his leg, and then opened the pigeon cage and put the wind carrier pigeon into the pigeon cage: "Master, the urgent bulletin sent from the front"

"Go, go, remember to come back and give the old man some candied fruit, and come back with a pot of sour plum tea" The old man waved his hand and continued to squint and enjoy the coolness of this summer.

"Shopkeeper, urgent news from the backyard"

"Oh, show it to me" The shopkeeper was obviously used to it, and took it unexpectedly, and after glancing at it, he hurriedly went straight to the third floor.

The third floor of this Liuyun teahouse is no longer receiving guests, but there are a lot of people on the third floor, and the shopkeeper greeted the people at each table and came to the private room of the east three rooms: "The three managers, the new urgent letter sent in front is good news"

"I know, you wait outside first" The woman took the urgent letter, glanced at it quickly, and then came to the window position of the private room, and said to a few people sitting on the chairs: "The news from the side of the Marquis of Ping'an, the vanguard soldiers and horses have converged, and Jiaocheng has been captured yesterday."

"Really" Liu Bowen immediately stood up when he heard this, this is really good news, it is much heavier than the news sent back before.

"Then there can be a fake, this letter is written like this, don't believe it yourself" The female housekeepers of the Jiang family are all the tempers of the eldest lady, and they were questioned by Liu Bowen so much, so they immediately rolled their eyes.

Liu Bowen has long been accustomed to it, and he didn't think it was a pestle, but he just smiled and said: "As soon as the city is handed over, it will cut off the connection between the anti-king army in East Lake and Xiangyang, plus the previous Xiaobei County, Baijiaji was captured, and the main force of the anti-king army was counter-surrounded in East Lake."

"In this way, we can round out the news we spread before, and I think this news should be able to cool off some people and turn the situation around."

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The Marquis of Ping'an has passed five levels and killed six generals along the way, and the good news is frequent, I am fortunate to be waiting, but the elite army of Chuzhou is so vulnerable, I am afraid that it will ruin the good situation again."

"I think the main force of the Chuzhou army should have gained a firm foothold, as long as the young master sends the news of the occupation of Jiaocheng to those legions, I think these people should see a turnaround, and they will definitely use all their strength to save some face, and the rest depends on whether the private army brigade led by Zhennan Hou can block the enemy's main force in Orangeyang before the other party breaks through."

"Immediately, let people copy it and send it to various teahouses and wine shops, and let people immediately announce it, and in addition, organize people to spread the news that our imperial army has completed the encirclement and annihilated the elite of the main anti-king force in the streets and alleys and all parts of Suzaku Mansion."

"Now as long as the news of a big victory comes back from the front, I don't believe that those people can still sit firmly in the Diaoyutai," Liu Bowen said with a smile on his face.

The above made a decision, and within two quarters of an hour, the storyteller hired on the first and second floors of Liuyun Building, the current affairs communiqué clerk got the latest news, and immediately cut off the previous gossip, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then, said in a passionate voice: "Everyone, good news, great news, the news just came back from the front, my Chuzhou army has conquered Jiaocheng from after successively capturing Xiaobei County and Baijiaji Town."

"This move of our army cut off the connection between the main force of the 60,000 anti-king army and the anti-king army in the direction of Xiangyang, and completed the strategic encirclement ......" In order to make it easier for most of the people below to understand what was said above, there was even a huge wooden board built on the wall on one side, covered with a layer of white cloth, and then the distribution of each county was roughly drawn.

In addition to this storyteller who is good at telling stories, there is also an explanation who knows a lot about various places to help introduce, and the location of Jiaocheng and the significance of occupying this place are all said, and the conclusion is that the situation of the Chuzhou army is very good, luring the enemy to go deeper, closing the door and beating the dog The strategy is in full swing step by step, and it will not be long before the imperial army can completely eliminate the enemy who counterattacks, and then seize Xiangfan and quell the Chuzhou rebellion in one fell swoop.

Maybe the gossip on the street is not credible, but listening to the ears, it will inevitably have some impact, so that the news spread in the market is very confusing, and then, the introduction of this way of commenting on newspapers in various places, hyping up the good news, this novel way has attracted countless people as soon as it appears, and the impact is also very good.

Originally, Suzaku Castle was not close to the front, and in the era of cold weapons, the transmission of news was almost all passed on by mouth, and as soon as a message was transmitted, I didn't know what it became, and used gossip to confuse the public, and then used half of the truth and half of the comments mixed in with my own understanding, which naturally guided the public.

In Leng Zhuo's time, this method had long been rotten on the street, wearing a suit, looking loyal, and having a neat tone, they dared to call themselves the professors of the brick family, no matter how bad and fake you were, a mouth could tell you about the heavens and the earth, there was nothing better than this.

How have the people of the Tianlong Continent ever seen this, looking at what people are saying there, it is not that the imperial army is winning every day, and the anti-king army is not far from being destroyed, the people's knowledge is originally so little, listening to it in the teahouse, it is reasonable, well-founded, and modest, so naturally listen back to show off to your family and neighbors, as if you are an expert.

In this atmosphere, the restless atmosphere of Suzaku Dacheng finally eased, and the flow of people in front of the rice shops such as the Golden Harvest Rice Store finally dispersed a lot, and the business of the grain shops that raised the price of rice began to plummet again, and few people came to the door.

Originally, there was a big twist and turn, but the situation in the city was not reversed, it was only a temporary stalemate, and in the end, who won and who lost depended on the battle on the front line

Jiaocheng, Leng Zhuo, who had been asleep for a day, finally woke up, the seven-colored cocoon was extracted, and the wounds Leng Zhuo suffered were also repaired.

"The young master is awake"

"Strategist, when did you arrive, where are we now?" Leng Zhuo was taken aback when he saw Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly asked.

"We arrived last night, although it was still a little late, but fortunately we have taken Jiaocheng, and now we are in the Yahou Mansion of Chengzhong County" Zhuge Liang finished speaking, and said: "Young master, your body?"

"It's no big deal, I'm almost recovered" Leng Zhuo said and moved, and then asked, "How were our casualties last night?" Last night, he fought hard with the other party, and the shock wave caused was not small, if it weren't for the fact that he had the Colorful Saint Emperor Butterfly to protect his body at a critical moment, even if he didn't die in the end, he would have to lose half his life, and the position of his chest was still painful.

Zhuge Liang's expression darkened, and he said: "After statistics, more than six hundred corpses were found at the Nan'an City Gate last night, and there were about one thousand and one thousand surviving soldiers, most of them were injured, some temporarily lost their combat strength, and some of them?" Zhuge Liang didn't say anything further, but Leng Zhuo thought that eighty percent of the soldiers and trainees who were close to each other didn't even have bones left, so they couldn't be counted at all.

Leng Zhuo also looked dark, and said: "Count the names of the belligerent dead, they are all good, as long as they pass this hurdle this time, their families will double the reward" Leng Zhuo was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked Zhuge Liang: "Is there an enemy?"
