Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tokens of the Post Soldiers
79. Read "Oh, I came last night...... the messenger said something, Da Kui stretched out his hand to stop him: "This is not the place to talk, come and come in, come in, say" said Da Kui, and then Da Kui came over and took the horse of the messenger of the Yuan soldiers
The messenger of Yuanbing asked suspiciously: "Big brother, I came from North Street, can I go to Liuzi Street in this alley?"
Da Kui naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he smiled and said: "You want to go to the garrison mansion on Liuzi Street, right, you have found the right person, I am on duty in the garrison mansion, come and come in" Da Kui had already pulled the horses of the Yuan soldier messenger closer to the courtyard
"Oh, no wonder I stepped on shit when I went out before leaving, and it was my luck to meet such a warm-hearted person as my eldest brother in this Qingyang City, hehehe," the Yuan soldier messenger smiled and followed up with a smile
Da Kui led the horse to a wooden stake in the corner of the courtyard as if he had arrived at his own house, and this wine shop may also sell cooked meat, and buried several wooden stakes in the corner of this courtyard, which seemed to be used to kill the livestock, and Da Kui had already come up with a countermeasure to tie the horse, and when the messenger of the Yuan soldier had taken care of it, he killed the horse, and then found a pot stove to cook meat to eat
When he turned around, he saw that the messenger of the Yuan soldier was standing in the courtyard, looking around at Da Kui, and greeted, "Brother, where are you from?"
The messenger replied, "I have come from Yingchang."
"Oh, come and come into the house to talk," Da Kui brought the messenger into the room, and then complained: "Hey, there is a shortage of food in the city, so I came out to find something to eat, nothing to entertain, brother, I hope to forgive me."
The messenger smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll bring dry food here, you and I can eat some together, I'm hungry too."
Da Kui couldn't ask for it, so he and the messenger each found a bench and sat down to eat and talk
It turned out that Yuan Huizong fled north to Shangdu, and he was obsessed with sending troops to recapture the Central Plains, but he wanted to lose consecutive battles, Yuan Huizong fled all the way to Yingchang with the remnants of the Yuan Court, and he didn't want to be physically and mentally exhausted
Yuan Huizong's death was naturally the top priority of the Yuan court, Yuan Zhaozong sent a secret envoy to the land of Gan and Shaanxi, to report the funeral to the big lords who supported the army such as Kuokuo, which Cheng wanted to be obtained, but Li Wenzhong got the knowledge that Yuan Huizong died of illness, Li Wenzhong immediately led his troops to the north, and now the army is approaching, Ying Chang, Yuan Zhaozong had no choice but to send a secret envoy to expand Timur to urge the troops to protect
It's really not as good as a human being, the first time the messenger sent by the Yuan Court was intercepted by Li Wenzhong, and the messenger sent by the second time was actually sitting with Da Kui eating dry food and chatting, which is really a creation and trickery
"Where is my brother's hometown," Da Kui didn't say anything, and everyone who should have inquired about the news of Yuan Huizong's death, Zhang Liangbi didn't know, and Kuokuo must have only known that he led troops to Yingchang to protect him, and he shouldn't have known the news of Yuan Huizong's death, since they didn't know, then General Li Wenzhong should be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack when he led his troops north, thinking of this, Da Kui's face couldn't help but be happy
The messenger from "my hometown of Shanxi" ate dry food and untied the water bladder from his waist
Da Kui saw that this messenger had just reached the weak crown, he must be a few years older than Yang Xiaohu, and he couldn't bear to kill him, seeing him untie the water bag, he first handed it to himself, Da Kui not only smiled and said: "It's also very hard to walk all the way, it just so happens that there is wine here, you and I drink some wine, this late autumn is cold, and I can drink some wine to warm up my body."
There is nothing else in this wine shop, but how much wine there is, and Kui found two large bowls to hold two bowls of wine, and drank them all in one bowl, and the messenger was still young after all, and his cheeks were already red after a bowl of wine
Da Kui smiled and asked, "You said that you entered the city last night, the black lights are blind, and the four doors are closed, how did you enter the city?"
When the messenger saw Da Kui, he couldn't help but smile mysteriously: "I have an arrow here, as long as the token is tied to the arrow, and the soldiers who shoot it to the city at night will naturally open the city gate when they see it."
When Da Kui heard this, his heart couldn't help but ask again: "What kind of token is it?"
The messenger smiled but did not answer, handed over the wine bowl and said, "Brother Lao, bring another bowl of wine, this wine is really fragrant."
Da Kui heard him say this, only to realize that this wine is unconventional, a bit like Yunnan rice wine, but it is more pure, but the strength of the wine is slightly lighter, Da Kui does not know that this is the barley wine in the Ganshan area, even a bare butt doll can also drink a bowl
After going back and forth, the two exchanged glasses and exchanged cups, and drank three or five bowls each, and then they put the big jar on the table directly, and as they drank it, they scooped it up with the bowl, until the great jar of wine was drunk, and the messenger was already drunk
Seeing this, Da Kui wanted to laugh in his heart, but it was still important to do the right thing, and immediately took out the large and small objects on the messenger of the Yuan soldier one by one and put them on the table
I saw that there was nothing but a money bag and a letter
Where is the token that the messenger said, Da Kui looked for a long time and didn't find it, he was unwilling to do it, and Da Kui went to the horses in the yard to find it, but he found it all over again, except for the longbow and quiver, plus a saber, there was nothing, this is to blame, Da Kui returned to the room, and couldn't help but worry in his heart
"Brother, wake up, wake up, wake up," Da Kui went to push the Yuan Bing messenger lying on the table, the messenger just muttered, full of drunken words, Da Kui had no choice but to coax: "I want to go out of the city on an errand, what kind of token?"
Who knew that this Yuan soldier messenger was unmoved, and slept very sweetly, Da Kui said the same sentence in his ear over and over again, thinking that he was so noisy, I am not afraid that you will not be annoyed
Sure enough, the Yuan soldier messenger worked all the way and wanted to sleep well for a while, but Da Kui kept asking in his ear, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Out of the city... Not... No need for tokens to enter the city... Usage... Money-making"
As soon as this remark came out, Da Kui suddenly realized, and hurriedly opened the money bag on the table, and poured the silver coefficients inside on the table, only to see that the copper coins on the table were different from those used by the people, and when the Yuan Court was in power, it was to circulate in the city with paper money, and did not mint copper coins, and the copper coins used by the people were privately minted, and there were many kinds of words on the coins, and a few copper coins on this table were with the words of Zhongtong Yuanbao, which were copper coins made by the Yuan Court, and this copper coin was used as a token for the exchange between the cities
In addition to these dozen copper coins, there is also a small bamboo row on the table, Da Kui picked up the bamboo row and saw that there was a line of Mongolian engraved on it, and there were several Chinese characters
"Post soldier Ji Rentai" Da Kui softly read the name on the bamboo row, not only turned his head to look at the Yuan soldier messenger
Shanxi people lied to your grandmother's ghost, but Da Kui thought about the Yuan Court's rule over China for more than 100 years, and the Mongolian people were all over the world, and they had already become residents everywhere, and this messenger must have been born in Shanxi, so he said that he was a native of Shanxi
Da Kui found a rope to tie the messenger of the Yuan soldiers, and went to fill the wine, and immediately sat down at the table, eating the dry food brought by the messenger of the Yuan soldiers, and drinking barley wine until he was full of food and drink, but it was already early in the morning
Outside the city, the siege is tight, the street is busy, but it is not the time to start, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to rest first, recuperate, Da Kui put a few square tables together, the right to be a bed, take the burden of the Yuan soldier messenger as a pillow, and lie down in this clothes, sleep soundly for a while, the room snoring, the sky is loud, Da Kui sleeps very sweetly, until the night falls
When I woke up, the outside of the city had died down, and then I saw that the Yuan soldier messenger was very honestly sitting on the bench, and his upper body was lying on the table, but he was motionless, Da Kui walked over and pulled the body of the Yuan soldier messenger, and the Yuan soldier messenger actually fell to the ground with a 'poof', Da Kui's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he went to probe his nose, but found that he had been dead for a long time
Da Kui looked carefully and found that when he helped him with a rope, the one around his neck was a little tight, and it actually exhausted him to death, hey, he blamed himself for being greedy for a cup, and Da Kui shook his head and sighed, cleaned up a little, and put the messenger's bamboo row money bag on his body, and then left the room
Liuzi Street was silent, and the two Yuan soldiers stood in front of the garrison mansion, looking at the autumn wind blowing in front of them, although it was a little cool, but the two Yuan soldiers were also motionless
There was a man walking on the street, dressed as a captain, and led a horse, but it was Da Kui
Da Kui led the horse to the front of the garrison mansion, first stretched his neck to look at the door, and the left-handed Yuan soldier standing in front of the door shouted: "What are you doing?"
Da Kui immediately said with a smile on his face: "I am from Yingchang, and I have a confidential letter to be handed over to General Zhang Liangbi Zhang."
The soldier looked Da Kui up and down for a long time before asking, "Is there a token?"
Da Kui hurriedly reached into his arms and took out the bamboo card, Yuan Bing walked over, took the bamboo card, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Wait here for me to report," and then turned around and entered the garrison mansion
Da Kui led the horse and stood in front of the door, waiting, left and right, and looked left and right, but did not see the patrol soldiers and horses, Xu was not the time to arrive
The Yuan soldier, who had not been to report for a while, came out and said to Da Kui: "Go in, just hand over the horse to me."
"Hey, that bothering little brother," Da Kui handed over the reins of the horse to the Yuan soldiers, and then was led by another Yuan soldier and went straight into the garrison mansion, outside the courtyard, and did not see anything, only to see that there were two teams of Yuan soldiers, about 100 people, all of them were divided into two rows like the two soldiers outside the door, standing straight
Da Kui walked in again, through a patio, came to a hall, at this moment the hall was brightly lit, and more than ten Yuan soldiers and generals gathered here to discuss military affairs, Da Kui entered the hall, and suddenly looked a little at a loss
I saw a person sitting on the main seat in the front, with a helmet and armor, and his face was cold, but it gave people a sense of not being angry and arrogant, presumably this was Zhang Liangbi
Da Kui asked in a trembling voice: "I don't know which one is General Zhang Liangbi"
The first general on the right shouted and asked, "The name of General Zhang is also what you can call at will."
Hearing this, the Yuan general, who was sitting on the opposite throne, waved his hand and said: "Forget it" and asked Da Kui: "Where is the letter?"
Da Kui hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, and a soldier came over to pick it up, but Da Kui stretched out his hand and said: "When Ying Chang was leaving, my general once instructed the little one to hand over this letter to General Zhang Liangbi, but I didn't see General Zhang Liangbi, this letter can't be left."
