Chapter 65: A Trip to Chuzhou (II)

Thinking of this, Dugu Jian involuntarily said loudly: "Lin'er, I understand!" Zhang Linxin was still shy, and waited for Dugu Jian's words, but he didn't hear his movement for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe girl's family is more reserved, although she has some doubts, but she has never dared to turn her body around.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Dugu Jian shouting like this, she was even more confused, what did she understand? The girl hurriedly turned her head and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Dugu?" Dugu Jian took her hand and said, "Lin'er, I know the whereabouts of the treasure map, and I also understand what is going on." ”

"What? really?" Zhang Lin exclaimed in surprise and joy. Dugu Jian nodded vigorously, and pulled the girl to sit on the grass by the lake, "Lin'er, you listen to me tell you slowly." ”

At that moment, Dugu Jian told the girl all his analysis, Zhang Lin nodded while listening, and agreed with Dugu Jian's opinion. After Dugu Jian finished speaking, she sorted out the whole thing again, "Brother Dugu, it seems that you are right. Do you remember, that night in Shangquan Villa, when the Yang gang leader was cheering up his subordinates, he said that their Yang Right Envoy had already come to support with a large group of men. At that time, the situation was urgent, and I didn't think much about it, but today I heard you say this, that Yang Hu is the right envoy of the Tianwang Gang, and the right envoy under the Yang gang leader is also surnamed Yang. I don't think there will be such a coincidence in the world, there are just two Yang Right envoys with Jinghu accents, right? So, I am already seven or eight points sure that they must be members of the Tianwang Gang!"

After this analysis, the two of them could finally figure out the whereabouts of the "Shanhe Society Jitu", Dugu Jian suddenly stood up and said: "Lin'er, since this is the case, when we inform Han Yue and the two marshals of the news, we will immediately go to Dongting Lake to find out the news of the Tianwang Gang." ”

Zhang Lin frowned lightly and replied: "But Brother Dugu, have you thought about it? The people in this Heavenly King Gang must be all masters left behind after the defeat of Manichaeism and Yang Qi, otherwise they would not have been able to escape. In the past four years, no one has known about their existence, and their whereabouts must be very hidden, so how can we find them?"

Dugu Jian thought for a while and said, "Although the eight-hundred-mile cave court is big, I don't think this matter is necessarily like looking for a needle in a haystack. No matter how secretive the Heavenly King Gang is, it will definitely leave some clues, and besides, I have seen them by the lake in the east of Wuling City, and I think these people may not be far away from their lair. As long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely be able to find the traces of these people!"

"Well, when the time comes, we will ask some more people to help, and we will definitely be able to find their traces and retrieve the treasure map!" the girl also said with confidence. Dugu Jian also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Linxin's opinion.

That night, the two of them stayed in a village by the lake and rested for the night. Early the next morning, another fishing boat was hired to send them across Hongze Lake and continue to Chuzhou.

As early as the fifth year of Shaoxing, that is, when Yue Fei led the army to suppress the rebellion of Yang Qi in Dongting Lake, Han Shizhong was appointed by Emperor Gaozong as the envoy of the Wuning Anhua Army, the Xuanfu envoy of Jingdong Huaidong Road, and placed in Chuzhou. Since then, until now, for nearly five years, Han Shizhong has been at the forefront of the fight against Jin, he has fought dozens of battles with Jin soldiers, won more than 10,000 enemies, and captured nothing.

Han Shizhong has been stationed in Chuzhou for many years with only 30,000 capable soldiers, not only winning many battles, so that the Jin people dare not commit again, but also paying great attention to the people's livelihood and leading the soldiers to work hard, so that Chuzhou has regained its vitality, and the people of Chuzhou have also been recuperated for a long time. These are all the credit of Han Shizhong and his wife Liang Hongyu.

Jian Xin and the two got off the boat, and then rode east along the road for more than fifty miles, and finally saw the city wall of Chuzhou. The city wall of Chuzhou was a new city built by Han Shizhong and his soldiers in addition to the old city, so it still looks very new, and it does not feel as dilapidated and dilapidated as the city wall that has suffered a lot of war like many cities in the north.

The two of them came to the city gate and dismounted, and Dugu Jian asked the sergeant guarding the city gate: "This sergeant brother, dare to ask, don't you know that Marshal Han Shizhong Han is in the city?"

The sergeant looked Dugu Jian up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" and asked what do you want to do when you ask our marshal's whereabouts?" Dugu Jian hurriedly explained: "Oh, it is Dugu Jian of the Hengshan faction down there, and I want to see Marshal Han for something important." The sergeant shook his head: "I haven't heard of the Dugu Sword of the Hengshan Sect, but since you are here to find our marshal, he is not in the city, you should go to the camp in the north of the city to have a look." ”

"Then thank you, big brother. Dugu Jian hugged his fists and thanked him. The sergeant waved his hand: "Hurry up, don't stand in the way of the city gate." ”

So, Kenshin and the two got on their horses and came to the north of the city, asked the pedestrians about the location of the Song army's camp, and rode to the gate of the camp.

The large camp set up by Han Shizhong was built on a high ground next to the river, which not only facilitated the problem of drinking water in the army, but also avoided a sneak attack on the side by the river. Stationed on the high ground, there is no need to worry about being flooded by the enemy to attack the camp, it is indeed worthy of a generation of famous generals!

At this time, it was already close to the end of the day, and the soldiers in the large camp were in full swing of training, and the sound of shouting and killing, the neighing of horses, and the chopping of weapons was incessant. The two of Jian Xin looked at it from a distance, and they only felt that these soldiers were quite orderly in advancing and retreating, and they were not chaotic at all, and they were indeed first-class elite soldiers. Zhang Linxin followed Zhang Feng to many barracks inside and outside Lin'an City, compared to these soldiers under Han Shizhong, those people were like a group of rabble, the two were too far apart, and there was no comparison at all.

The girl couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Dugu, I have heard that Marshal Han is strict in governing the army, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, no wonder it has been able to compete with the Jin people in recent years, and has repeatedly defeated." ”

Dugu Jian also saw Yue Fei's soldiers and horses in Dongting Lake, and his heroic posture of prohibiting orders, advancing and retreating with evidence, immovable like a mountain, and aggression like fire left a very deep impression on him. He replied to Zhang Linxin: "Yes, Marshal Han's soldiers and horses are not much better than the Yue family's army, no wonder the Jin people will regard the two marshals of Han Yue as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, it is not unreasonable." ”

Zhang Linxin nodded and said: "Yes, if all the soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty are like the elite soldiers under the command of the two marshals, where will the Jin people be allowed to run rampant? I'm afraid that they will have been driven back to the white mountains and black waters to drink blood!"

Before the two of them could speak, a guard guarding the door split the spear in his hand, pointed the tip of the spear at the two of them, and shouted: "Stop! This is Marshal Han Shizhong's military camp, idle people, etc., are not allowed to trespass, leave quickly!"

Dugu Jian glanced at Zhang Linxin, took another step forward, and said to the guard: "This big brother, please also report to Marshal Han, Hengshan Dugu Jian asks to see him, and there is something important to report to him." (To be continued.) )
