Chapter 236: Xiangling County

There are few people on the streets of Xiangling, and most of them are in a hurry. Although Xiangling is not a small county, most of the people in the city fled to Hanoi. Guo Da learned the lesson of the failure of the Yellow Turban, and did not blindly force the people to join the army, but only looted the big households in the city, and for the ordinary people, he ordered to prohibit harassment, and also allowed merchants to enter and exit, to supply the people in the city with some urgently needed materials, and inns and taverns could also be opened.

Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu pretended to be businessmen selling shoes, and traveled from Yang'a County along Qinshui to Xiangling County, originally Guan Yu thought that he could go back, but he didn't expect Xi Zhicai to insist on entering the city.

Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu took two entourages to find an inn, asked for three or five small dishes, and listened attentively. If you want to be well-informed, you can count the inn restaurant. There are still a lot of peddlers and pawns in this small inn, drinking and chatting together while they are drunk, and what they say is hearsay, sometimes most of them are plausible, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Have you heard that there is a general surnamed Gao in Yunzhong County, who killed tens of thousands of Hutu people under the city of Dingxiang County, and the blood of the Hugh Tu people who were directly killed flowed thousands of miles, and now Lin Xihe is still red" said a businessman.

"Really, it's fake," the big man in the next seat asked in disbelief.

"I can still have a fake with my own eyes" The merchant was a little displeased, and put down the wine bowl in his hand.

"Yes, yes, I've heard too, it seems that General Gao is holding a strange blade in his hand, borrowed from the king of Hades, and he will kill Hugh and slaughter people one by one" A big man said on the other table.

"I heard that there was another battle in the clouds, do you know it?" the merchant continued.

"Tell us about it, let's see it for a long time," the big man at the next table poured wine for the businessman.

"Huxiu Tu Lieutenant was trapped in a county town in Yunzhong County, the heavy snow blocked the mountain, there was no way to go to respond, after hearing about it, the Taishou of Yanmen County heard about it, and led two hundred cavalry soldiers to descend from the sky, using an embattled plan to kill the Huns, and also split the Hun king in half with a knife, and rescued Huxiu Tu Duwei" The merchant took a sip of wine and smacked his mouth.

Later, he sent troops to Yuanyang County and robbed a lot of Xiongnu horses, cattle and sheep to bring back. I heard that the people of Mayi City have divided several sheep into each family," said the merchant. The excitement in his eyes was as if he had also received a few sheep.

"It's really fake, it's really amazing, I heard that the Huns are ruthless, even a few years old can shoot arrows" A merchant who fled from Shuofang County said, and hurriedly asked again.

"Do you know that Yanmen is too guarded, what is it called?"

"The surname is Zhang, they all call him Zhang Taishou, what is the specific name, I don't know" The merchant learned from Qin and said, but he also learned it well.

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he couldn't help but smile, if Zhang Liao heard it, he didn't know how to feel, it was indeed Zhang Liao who led the troops to save Gao Shun, but there was nothing to do with Zhang Liao in the back, most of it was Fan Chong's plan. It's just that Fan Chong is not known to the world, and Wang Gang deliberately hid his whereabouts, so it all fell on Zhang Liao.

And Guan Yu has a sour feeling in his heart, he and Zhang Liao have known each other before, Guan Yu himself is a person from Hedong County, he was forced to flee because of a crime, and he also went to Yanmen County, and Zhang Liao had several encounters. At that time, Zhang Liao was only a small army in Yanmen County, and I haven't seen him this year, Zhang Liao is already a county guard with heavy troops, and he is still adrift.

When he saw Zhang Liao again in Taiyuan, Zhang Liao threw an olive branch again and invited him to serve in the army, but he politely refused, and the two went their separate ways when they got drunk, and now they heard Zhang Liao's name again, which made him sigh for a while.

When Xi Zhicai saw this, he smiled slightly, comforted Guan Yu a few words, and whispered, "That businessman seems to have spread it on purpose, and he doesn't know what the purpose is yet, so he doesn't have any evil intentions." ”

If it is the Zhang family, they are promoting Zhang Liao's affairs, and the Zhang family is one of the best in Mayi County, but few people know about it in Hedong County.

Who could it be, Zhang Lin has always been low-key and pragmatic, he likes to make a fortune in a muffled voice, he won't do these things, there should be someone else, Guan Yu couldn't figure it out, and looked at Xi Zhicai and shook his head, saying that he didn't know. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, could it be that the general was taking a walk, but why did the general spread Zhang Liao's achievements in Hedong. Could it be that the general wants to ......

A few yellow turban guards patrolling at the door of the inn walked in, a room of people was silent, and Xi Zhicai quickly put away his thoughts and bowed his head silently. The leader of the yellow turban glanced around, found no suspicious person, and sat down near the door.

The innkeeper hurriedly went to greet him, now the city is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, the merchants dare not offend, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army only likes to rob the wealthy families, but who knows if they will do anything to his small inn.

But I haven't heard of the people of Xiangling County, whose homes were looted by the Yellow Turban Army, thinking that the Yellow Turban soldiers would not loot the civilians, and slowly the people of Xiangling County became less hostile to the Yellow Turbans.

While everyone was bowing their heads to eat, a middle-aged man walked into the inn with a young man, who was seven feet tall, dressed in clothes sewn from animal skins, carrying several rabbits in his hands, a large bow on his back, and a few homemade feathered arrows. Like a hunter in the nearby mountains, go to the county seat to change some daily items.

Xiao Er saw the middle-aged man, stretched out his hand to take the rabbit, and said, "Hao Orion, why don't you see the big guy today" The inn Xiao Er obviously knows the middle-aged man.

"I've had bad luck lately, I haven't seen any big guys, only a few rabbits," the middle-aged man replied.

The shopkeeper checked the rabbit in his hand, walked to the back, and after a while, an innkeeper walked out, the shopkeeper looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "It's the same as before, five dollars a piece, a total of thirty dollars."

The middle-aged man hummed, took the copper coin, and walked towards the door of the inn, only then did everyone find that the middle-aged man's legs and feet were a little unfavorable, he walked and swayed a lot, and his left leg seemed to have been injured.

When they were about to reach the door, several Yellow Turban soldiers stopped the two of them, which caused everyone in the room to turn their eyes again, waiting to see what would happen next.

"Where did you get this bow from?" asked the Yellow Turban General.

"The grass people are hunting in the mountains, and the bows and arrows are made by themselves," the middle-aged man said as he protected the young man behind him, neither humble nor arrogant.

"If you know how to make bows and arrows, then go to our barracks and be a bow and arrow craftsman, you must be better than you hunting" Several Yellow Turban soldiers stood up and faintly surrounded the two in the middle.

"The grass people are not skilled, I am afraid that the general's major affairs will be delayed, and there are young sons who need to be taken care of, so I will forgive my fate," the middle-aged man said.

"Don't be ashamed of your face, you really think of yourself as a character, I don't know what to do," a yellow turban soldier said.
