Chapter 524: Right and Wrong
Growing so big, it was the first time for Yang Xiling to leave Nurgan City and leave the Great Snow Mountain.
When she first entered the rivers and lakes, she was a little excited at first, but soon she couldn't get excited. Heroine, young and vigorous, always has a little temper, walking the rivers and lakes, paying attention to a happy grudge, but with a drag oil bottle behind her, Miss Yang Er is a little unhappy.
This big snow demon, who follows him all day long, is extremely beautiful, but this is not good, that is not good, which makes her very helpless.
There is a bandit den in Erlang Mountain, and Yang Nuxia wants to destroy them, but the big snow demon stops her on the grounds of "the rivers and lakes are sinister, don't meddle in things".
There is a group of bandits in Heifeng Village, robbing houses and houses, Yang Nuxia wants to be chivalrous, and the big snow demon came to say "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people", prohibiting her from going.
In addition to rushing every day, it is to eat and sleep, and occasionally enjoy some beautiful scenery in the world.
Jianghu, if she goes like this, when will her dream of being a heroine come true?
Finally, Yang Nuxia went berserk.
"Big Snow Demon, I promised to take you away from the Great Snow Mountain and walk the rivers and lakes, but it's not this way of walking, don't listen to anything, don't ask anything, what's the difference between that and staying at home?"
Li Chengcheng stepped on the snow, where he landed, there was almost no trace, followed behind Yang Nuxia who was riding a donkey, and did not see half a point fall, hearing her poor words, he said lightly: "People in the rivers and lakes are sinister, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you, it's only been a month, you can't help it." Walking the rivers and lakes, the most taboo enemy, you can never predict, even if it is an inconspicuous opponent, who is standing behind him. ”
Yang Nuxia pouted, "You always say how powerful you are, but in the past month, I haven't seen you play a sword or fight, but your reasonable mouth is more powerful than a storyteller, and my ears can hear calluses." ”
Li Chengcheng said: "I haven't touched a sword for ten years. ”
Yang Nuxia asked, "Then in the past ten years, you have been practicing your mouth?"
Li Chengcheng was speechless.
Yang Nuxia said, "I can't stand it, I've already inquired, in front of Lu County, there is a bandit den outside the county, called Black Dragon Village, gathered more than 100 thieves, relying on the world is not peaceful, all day long to do some robbery business, our White Horse Gang's goods, also robbed by them, this time I am ready to personally go out of the horse, sweep the Black Dragon Village, as Miss Ben's first battle in the rivers and lakes." ”
Li Chengcheng asked, "Do you want one person and one knife to deal with 200 people?"
Yang Xiling said: "Are you stupid, do you understand that the thief will capture the king first? As long as I kill Kou Shou, the others will not be scattered?"
Li Chengcheng sighed, "If you kill Kou Shou, someone will replace him, maybe he will be in the hands of others." ”
Yang Xiling said, "I can inform the government." ”
"The government?" Li said, "Maybe the government is still colluding with them." ”
Yang Xiling snorted, "You will ruin my fun." ”
After that, he raised the small leather whip in his hand and rode out on a small gray trot, Li Chengcheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and followed behind.
This girl, if she doesn't suffer a little, sooner or later she will cause trouble.
......
Lu County is a county town under the Shanhai Pass, with more than 20,000 people, although it is not big, but it is located in the fortress of the mountains and seas, and it is the necessary place for the business travelers from the north and the south to pass. Due to the war in the Central Plains for many years, the Yinyang King Zhao Lanjiang has been advancing eastward over the years, and has already broken through Xiangjian County, and the army is divided into two routes, going south to Jianmen Pass, east to Dasan Pass, approaching Chang'an, so that the King of Shu and the King of Yu give up their estrangement and are forced to join forces, and the 200,000 army is stuck in their throat. These two major passes are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhao Lanjiang does not attack hard, but goes north around the pass, passes through Juyong Pass and Yanmen Pass, and approaches Shanhaiguan from Fenghuangling, forming a situation of encircling the Central Plains from the west and the north.
Because the battle line was too long and the supply force was insufficient, Zhao Lanjiang directly united a number of small and medium-sized warlord forces outside the Guan, promised to be a marquis, and collected money and grain on the spot to finance the troops. In this way, the Hidden Yang forces formed two forces, one was the Hidden Yang army led by Zhao Lanjiang himself, and the other was a coalition of several warlords who nominally obeyed the command of the Hidden Yang. Now is the time to seize the world, mobilize all forces to encircle and suppress the Central Plains. As for getting the world in the future, whether it is a glass of wine to release military power, or a rabbit and a dead dog, no one can guess what this scheming prince is thinking.
Two months ago, Li Bufan, known as a victorious general, led his soldiers and horses through the Phoenix Ridge, led 30,000 soldiers and horses to arrive at Shanhaiguan, and confronted Xue Ping, the son of Xue Huai, the former king of Dingbei.
As the apprentice of the Golden Sword King, Li Bufan inherited Zhao Lanjiang's fierce and warlike atmosphere, invincible all the way, all those who resisted, all slaughtered the city, and fell into the name of "no piece of armor", and "Smiling General" Su Zhengyuan, "Western Chu Overlord" Chu Xiang, and called the Three Tigers of Yinyang, swept thousands of armies, invincible. At the same time, Su Zhengyuan arrived at Jianmen Pass, Chu Xiang's troops were in Dasan Pass, and the three-way soldiers and horses were dispatched together, and they had the intention of winning or losing with the King of Shu and the King of Yu.
After two months of confrontation, Zhao Lanjiang did not launch an attack, but sent an envoy to negotiate with the two countries. The king of Shu has the country of abundance as a support, and the soldiers are full of food, and the king of Yu has been fighting all the year round, and he has long been exhausted, and has undertaken most of the offensive of Zhao Bajiang, if he really launches a large-scale war, I am afraid that it will not last for half a year. This martial arts conference was organized by King Yu, who wanted to recruit people with lofty ideals from all over the world to join the court of King Yu and fight against the army of Yinyang.
For a time, the battle clouds at Shanhaiguan were thick, and everyone was in danger.
Among the three major passes, Shanhaiguan is the farthest away from Kaifeng, and the deployment of troops is the weakest, once Li Bufan occupies Shanhaiguan and jams the throat of the Central Plains and Kwantung, it will not be long before the gate will completely become the territory of Yinyang, and the gateway of the Central Plains will be opened.
This is what Chai Gongwang set ten years ago.
The reason for the implementation was due to the easing of the relationship between Yinyang and the Northern Zhou court. Five years ago, the king of Yinyang went north with a knife and helped the little emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to take the life of the regent Tuoba Ran with a knife, nominally helping the little emperor to seize the imperial power, but he did not uproot Tuoba Ran's forces, and secretly supported Tuoba Ran's son Tuoba Fei, leaving a root cause for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was also caught in years of war and chaos, and was unable to go south to deal with the Central Plains. And Yinyang took the opportunity to give the Northern Zhou a number of border trade policies, so that they were unknown.
As for Western Chu, there are Hengduan Mountain and the three words Zhao Lanjiang, which is enough for them not to dare to act recklessly, not to mention, Yinyang also has the former prince Chu Xiang who is eyeing Western Chu and the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Stone City. Of course, it has not always been peaceful, five years ago, Chu Xian, the emperor of Western Chu, had the idea of attacking Yinyang and recapturing Hulukou, but the soldiers and horses had not yet assembled, and suddenly he fell ill and died in the middle of the night. The throne passed to his three-year-old son, Chu Maru, who, due to the young age of the new emperor, was temporarily regent by his mother, the Crescent Spring. However, there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Chu Xian's violent death is related to Yinyang, and there are even rumors that the relationship between the Crescent Moon Spring and Zhao Lanjiang is not ordinary, and there is even a leg in private, but it is all a theory of chasing wind and shadows, and there is no real evidence.
The situation in the world is in turmoil, but trade has not stopped.
Due to the continuous war in the Central Plains, the relative stability outside the customs, driven by interests, many businessmen saw the opportunity, a bucket of rice outside the customs is only one hundred copper coins, transported to the customs, you can buy two hundred copper coins, deduct the loss, customs clearance, favors, etc., you can earn three gross profits, if it is transported to the place of continuous war or natural disasters and man-made disasters, and even sold to three hundred Wen, four hundred Wen, it is a profitable business, and the customs are also in urgent need of food outside the customs, so over the years, some business groups such as the White Horse Gang in the Kanto region have earned a lot of benefits.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.
Driven by interests, it has nothing to do with right and wrong.
Taking the official road, there are imperial court soldiers and horses to intercept the beard, smuggling roads, and bandits to intercept them, but relatively speaking, the bandits' blocking the road is only wool, and they are not uprooted, and they must ensure that the business travel is profitable, and the energy can go a long way. This nest of bandits outside Lu County understands this truth, a hill they control can bypass two official stations, and the money charged to buy roads is lower, so many people take risks.
Of course, the merchant group also understands this truth. On the one hand, they paid the money in full, and on the other hand, they also hired a large number of strong men and people in the rivers and lakes in their business affairs, and only with their strength could they be qualified to negotiate with the robbers, otherwise they would not be fish and meat on the board, and they would be slaughtered.
And this small Lu County, because of the appearance of bandits, has bred many brokers, who rely on their local connections, relationships with bandits, and past business travelers to discuss how to avoid official exploitation.
On this day, Yang Nuxia arrived in Lu County.
After all, he is used to eating and drinking, and he has martial arts, so he is unaware of the upcoming war. She doesn't care about the price of food and vegetables, she just wants to be happy, and as soon as she arrives in the county, she goes to the largest restaurant in the county, ready to find out the news and do a big job.
A table of banquets came up, and Yang Xiling feasted.
Anyway, there is an endless amount of silver.
Li Chengcheng practiced the art of bigu, and only ate some light fruits and vegetables. After Li Jinhua died, he never drank a drop of wine again.
At the next table, there was a group of caravans resting, discussing the issue of taking the official road or Heilongzhai. Someone suggested that if you know the big boss of Black Dragon Village, you can join a group, make up a certain amount of silver, give it to Black Dragon Village, and borrow a road from their mountain, which can save a lot of money.
Since the matter was well known to passers-by, they did not shy away from others when they discussed.
Yang Xiling listened to it in his ears, felt the atmosphere, slapped the table, and stood up.
"The Black Dragon Village is so domineering, you just pay the money to admit it? The more this is the case, the more they will gain an inch, and it is not the solution to the problem at all. ”
A businessman said, "This woman is a newcomer, right? We businessmen, when we go out, what we ask for is nothing more than two things, one is peace, and the other is money, if you can't have both, what's wrong with spending money to buy peace?"
Yang Nuxia said: "It's very inappropriate!"
"In your opinion, how to deal with it?"
Yang Nuxia said: "Of course, I took the knife to level this black dragon village." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, and did not take her words seriously.
"Laughing at what?"
Shang Jia said, "What about the Black Dragon Village?"
Yang Xiling said: "Naturally, no one will buy the road money." ”
Shang Jia said suddenly, "If you level the Black Dragon Village, there will be White Dragon Village and Yellow Dragon Village, as long as it is profitable, there will always be someone to do it, we transport commercial goods, just to make a little profit, how can we work hard?"
Yang Xiling could hear what she said, but she couldn't find a rebuttal, for a while, her face was red, and she couldn't get off the stage, she exhaled angrily: "Anyway, this is not right." ”
Shang Jia said: "This world is like this, where is there any right or wrong? To be alive is already God's grace." You are still young, you have not experienced the catastrophe of the Heavenly Dao back then, overnight, the city of nearly a million people has become a ruin, more than eighty percent of the people, there are no bones, who do you go to theorize right and wrong?"
