Chapter 126: The bandits descend the mountain
There are two mountain ranges near the Yueling Tomb, the capital of Yeguo, one of which is Jiuli Mountain, which is located between Shuiyun County and the capital, and the other is Shanghe Mountain.
Jiuli Mountain almost completely isolated Shuiyun County from the capital, in the past few years, because there was no Chu Qianwen and his Northwest Army, the desert cavalry did not know when they would run to the capital to make trouble, so when the previous Ye kings were in power, a city called Anning Pass was built here.
But because of Chu Qianwen and his Northwest Army later, Anning Pass has basically become an ornament, and there has been no time when the pass has been closed over the years, and only when the desert cavalry has attacked and disturbed again recently, the pass has begun to close again.
However, it didn't take long for the checkpoint to be reopened, because the Northwest Army came, and Anning Pass has now become a place for the Northwest Army to hoard rear baggage and rest.
As for Shanghe Mountain, it is located in Qing'an County in the north of Ye Kingdom, and it is also the same as Jiuli Mountain, which completely cuts off Qing'an County and the capital, and because it has been guarding against the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty over the years, the city here is much larger than the Anning Pass of Jiuli Mountain, and the name is much louder than Anning Pass, which is called Anlong Mansion.
These two levels are like two gate gods, guarding the safety of the capital.
Because there has been no war in these years, there is no tension in Anlong Mansion, even if the desert cavalry in the northwest is raging now, they don't believe that they can hit their heads, after all, there is a capital city in the middle.
The soldiers guarding the city gate looked listless, and one of them spoke: "Captain Wu, the northwest is so lively, why does it have nothing to do with us." ”
"Why, it's not good if there is no war. ”
Wu Chang smiled, leaned on his spear and said: "Now that the relationship between our Daye and the Later Jin Dynasty is harmonious, we are the safest place, and even if there is a fight, there is a Tongjing Pass, you can be content, you have just joined the army and have been assigned to this place, you don't have to fight on the battlefield." ”
As soon as he heard this, the young soldier smiled, walked up to the captain, and said with a smile: "The old captain, you tell me about it, you were killed when you were in the war." ”
"When I was at war?"
At the mention of this, the old Wu Chang immediately became angry and said, "Then you have to ask me when I fought that battle." ”
The young soldier thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the most thrilling one." ”
"The most thrilling one, then you have to make me think about it. ”
As soon as he saw that the old captain was about to tell a story, several soldiers around him surrounded him.
Looking at the young faces full of expectations, the vanity of the old military commander was greatly satisfied, and he said with a smile: "The most thrilling time I fought in the war, if you want to say that it was when Tongjing Pass Fengsui, it was also the most tense moment in the relationship between our Daye and the Later Jin Dynasty, and even our king personally led the army to check the defense of Fengsui everywhere. ”
"That time, I think it was also the closest I was to death, the Hou Jin army of more than 100,000 people hoarded outside Tongjing Pass, that is, less than five miles away from my Fengsui fortress, and I could watch those soldiers in the Later Jin Dynasty get up and practice every day. ”
Hearing this, the young soldier became interested and hurriedly asked, "What about later, did you fight?"
"Of course there is no fighting, and if the fight starts, how can I still live?"
"Cut ......"
As soon as they heard this, several soldiers who were listening intently couldn't help but glance at the old captain.
This old captain really has no other skills, and he is bragging every day.
The old captain smiled and said, "You are all still young, you have only been a soldier for a few years, when Lao Tzu was a soldier, you still hugged your mother to breastfeed." ”
Just as the old captain was talking, a man wearing a scarf and not seeing his appearance clearly, but looking like a man by his figure, came over with a horse.
There was also a woman sitting on the horse, and the woman also wore a scarf on her head, which looked very strange.
Seeing this, the old Wu Chang squinted his eyes, raised his hand to block the man's way, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man's voice was extremely hoarse, and he only said, "Go to the city to do something." ”
Generally speaking, there is no need to stop people in peacetime, but they have the authority to stop people, for example, if they see anyone who looks suspicious, they have the right to stop and interrogate them.
If you don't want to get into trouble, or if you are in a hurry, you have to pay some money as a toll, otherwise it will be impossible to get into the city quickly.
This phenomenon is not limited to this Anlong Mansion, or Ye Kingdom, but the whole world.
The man was obviously ignorant of the rules, and the old captain looked up at the woman on the horse and said, "Who is this man?"
The man's voice became cold, and he said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"
As soon as he heard this, the captain was a little unhappy at that time, and was about to get angry, but the woman sitting on the horse was a person who knew the rules, reached out and pulled the money bag from her waist, took out a silver ingot, threw it to the captain and said: "My groom is not sensible, and he speaks more straightforwardly, so the military master is not strange." ”
The woman's voice is very good, very gentle, and it is very comfortable for people to listen to, especially the chief Wu who got the silver is more comfortable.
Wu Chang smiled, got out of the way, and said, "Go to the ......"
The woman also chuckled and said, "Let's go, don't make people wait." ”
The pair of masters and servants went all the way into the city and came to a tea shop in the city that was not very famous.
After entering the tea shop, the woman took the man to the second floor, and at a glance saw an old man with gray hair sitting on the seat by the window drinking tea in a daze.
The master and servant walked over, and after the woman sat down, she said, "It is inconvenient for my master to come, so he sent me here. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't trust you. ”
The old man's face was cold, and he said, "Go back, I will wait here for a few days, and if your master is sincere, let him come to see me in person, or send a reliable person." ”
"Oh?"
The woman wondered, "Am I unreliable?"
"People who don't even dare to show their faces, how can they talk about sincerity?"
The old man glanced at the woman and said, "Since you want to talk about things, come up with an attitude of talking about things, otherwise, don't talk about it." ”
The woman chuckled, took off her scarf, and placed it on the table, revealing an extremely beautiful and bewitching face.
"Sure enough, it's you. ”
Seeing this person's appearance, the old man snorted, raised his hand to pick up the teacup and took a drink, his words were full of disdain, and said: "I didn't expect that Wang Anbei's old guy's daughter actually started to do the saucer." ”
After he said this, he obviously felt that the air had become a little colder, and the old man had obviously not seen the world, so he squinted his eyes and glanced at the man with a hat on his face and said, "Put away your little murderous aura, who are you scaring about, do you want to compare with me?"
The woman took out the money pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Xiao Qi, go and tell the owner of this tea shop, I have covered the second floor of this tea shop, and no one is allowed to come up without my permission." ”
"Yes. ”
The man called Xiao Qi bowed slightly, and then went downstairs with the money bag.
When Xiao Qi left, the woman said with a smile: "I make dishes for my father's worries, but I didn't expect that you, General Wu, would take the initiative to contact me......
This old man is none other than Wu Dangguo, the well-known general of Ye Guo.
And this woman is not an outsider, it is Wang Anbei's eldest queen Zi Tao.
At the banquet of the former Ye State Palace, he also used a dance to make King Ye Zhao Yan appreciate.
"Alright. ”
Hearing Wang Zitao's words, Wu Dangguo snorted coldly and said, "Don't be sarcastic, let's talk about business today." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Wang Zitao raised her eyebrows, leaned over and asked, "I want to hear it, do you have anything serious to talk to me about......
Wu Dangguo's eyes were cold, and he said, "It's nothing, I just want to kill two people......"
Wang Zitao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Those two people?"
Wu Dangguo raised his head and said: "Ye Guo, the eldest son Zhao Kuan, the lieutenant general Chu Yujia!"
Hearing this, Wang Zitao's eyes narrowed slightly......
Two flowers bloom, one on a single table.
Chu Yujia, who was far away in Shuiyun County, had just defeated a desert cavalry that had sacked a relatively large village and town, and was also swaggering to rest in the village and town.
This time, Chu Yujia can be said to have taken them by surprise, and many desert cavalry were carried out of the camp tents and people's houses by Chu Yujia and the northwest light cavalry under his tent.
Not to mention the rescue of a large number of civilians who had not yet been slaughtered, in addition to most of the desert cavalry who were killed, many of them were captured alive.
By the light of the fire, looking at the desert light riders who were struggling or insulting, Chu Yujia smiled.
Chu Yujia said to the surrounding Northwest Light Knights: "I once heard my father say that there was a rule in our army that if you can capture a desert cavalry alive, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, is this really false?"
"Really. ”
One of the older Northwest cavalry soldiers said with a smile: "At the beginning, these desert cavalry soldiers were tenacious, even if they fought to the last soldier, they would not be captured, so the old general set such a rule." ”
"Hehe, it looks like my dad still has a miscalculation. ”
The corners of Chu Yujia's mouth were raised, and he directly dragged out a desert rider from the crowd, grabbed his hair, and pressed him to the ground.
The cavalry kept struggling, and his mouth kept greeting Chu Yujia's ancestor.
Chu Yujia didn't mind, he didn't hear it, he sat on the body of the horseman, and said, "Tonight, let's trouble fellow villagers once, just rest here all night, tomorrow morning, we are leaving." ”
He was doing this for the sake of the soldiers, after all, they had been running around all day.
But what he didn't expect was that many soldiers were unhappy when this remark came out.
"General, this is not good, I only cut off three heads on this trip, and this reward is not as much as robbing in the desert. ”
"That's right, General, originally the rule you set was to let us take turns to fight, those brothers before all hung five or six heads by themselves, and we only had two or three, and some of them haven't got their heads yet, how can we just rest like this?"
"Why don't the general take us directly to the desert, they have General Yan and General Zhuang in Shuiyun County to greet them, and we will kill them directly to their hometown, and treat them in their own way. ”
Hearing this, Chu Yujia felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.
He didn't even know whether he was leading his troops to fight or taking bandits down the mountain......
