Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 30
On the second day, we arrived at the city of Caizhou.Inspection Li Xing had been waiting outside the city early.

After the ceremony with Wang Xiaohun, Li Xing said: "Knowing the state's decree, the commander will lead the troops to be stationed in Jinxiang town outside the city. When entering the city tomorrow, the commander will instruct the grain merchant to negotiate with the commander. When you buy food, you self-employed people will transport it back to Kaifeng. ."

Wang Xiaohun bowed his hands: "I'm tired of knowing the state, and I'm also tired of patrolling. Seeing that it's getting late, our army has prepared some wine and meat, please patrol and drink."

It is normal not to enter the city.what time is thisWang Xiaolie brought 100 people here, and they made trouble after entering the city. Caizhou was really troublesome.This is a team that once defeated the Golden Army, so it should not be taken lightly.

When they arrived at Jinxiang Town, Wang Xiaolie ordered to set up camp outside the town.Sent a few soldiers to the town and bought some wine and meat back.Everything in Kaifeng is expensive. When you come to this cheap place, buy more.

The sun went down, the soldiers bought wine and meat and came back, and the army was ready.

In front of his barracks, Wang Xiaohun put down a table, and he and Cao Zhiyan sat with Li Xing.

Poured the wine.Li Xing looked at Cao Zhiyan curiously and said, "I heard that Cao Tiju used to be a monk in Qingliang Temple, didn't he stop drinking and meat?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "I joined the army, armed with a steel knife, and I didn't know how many people I killed. What kind of alcohol and meat did I give up!"

Li Xing listened and smiled and said: "What Tiju said is true. You stayed in Gongxian for a few days and fought back the Jin people. It's spread all over our place. People say that the king's commander is as strong as a mountain, and Cao Ti's jurisdiction is infinite. They are all dragons among men. I saw them today, and it’s not the same.”

Wang Xiaohun said: "How can a country legend be true? Jinren are not three heads and six arms. As long as they dare to fight against them, if they handle them properly, it will not be difficult to defeat them. But now the world is in chaos, and it is difficult to organize a large army. They're just being aggressive."

Li Xing nodded again and again, but said nothing.Last year, when the Jin army hit Caizhou, Zhizhou organized an escape early, but the Jinmen just laid down an empty city.At that time, Li Xing led his troops to follow Zhizhou and ran faster than anyone else.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Wang Xiaohun asked, "Patrol inspection, what is the food price in the city now?"

Li Xingdao: "The rice from Jianghuai is cheaper, at [-] bucks of rice. The wheat is a little more expensive. The new wheat has not been collected yet, about [-] yuan per buck. Compared with before the menstruation, the price is naturally a lot higher. But compared to neighboring states and counties, it’s cheaper.”

Wang Xiaohun said: "It's much cheaper. The price of rice in Kaifeng City has become higher these days, and it costs [-] for a bucket of rice. For the same money, it will take a lot of time to buy it here. This time I come here. Caizhou buys grain, although it is a long way, it is always worth it.”

Cao Zhiyan on the side said: "The merchants are the most treacherous in the world. We need to buy food for hundreds of people, and it's better not to take the opportunity to increase the price of food in the city."

Li Xing said: "Who dares to mess around! You are people who have made great contributions to the fight against gold, and Zhizhou has said something earlier, and there will be no price increase!"

Wang Xiaoli raised the wine bowl: "Thank you Zhizhou! Thank you for the inspection! This time I go back, I will report to Zong to stay behind, and I will give you credit!"

At this time, although Zhao Gou had already ascended the throne, he was still in flux, and the institutions of the imperial court were not complete.Officials around the world are mostly on their own.Zongze stayed behind for Tokyo, and had great power. Around Kaifeng Mansion, including Jingxi, was under his control.But at this time, many officials don't really care if they remember merit or not.What will happen in the future, only God knows.

Until midnight, full of food and wine, Li Xing was sent away.

Wang Xiaolie said to Cao Zhiyan: "Tomorrow I will go to the city to buy grain, and you will watch it in the town. By the way, I will find some men who carry it. The grain I bought is too much. I am afraid that 100 of us will not be enough. The road back to Kaifeng is not peaceful. .”

Cao Zhiyan crossed his hands and said yes.

At this time, there are many thieves in the world, even around Kaifeng.In name, the group of thieves as far as Hebei also obeyed Zongze's orders.However, on weekdays, these people also do a lot of robbery.There are always people fighting in the city of Kaifeng, and grabbing some food outside is really nothing.Wang Xiao hunted with a hundred soldiers just for safety.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohun brought a dozen soldiers into Caizhou City.Cao Zhiyan settled down, and when he arrived in the town, he posted a notice to recruit people to carry the grain.One hundred cents a day is enough money, and food and lodging are arranged by the military.

At this time, in a relatively stable place like Caizhou, there were many refugees.It's summer again, and Jinbing won't come from the south, so it's not difficult to recruit.

Zhang Jun listened to the people reading the notice in the crowd, thinking in his heart that although a hundred articles a day are not many, they are all in his own hands.After listening for a while, I hurriedly went home and told my mother that I had walked around Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhang Jun was originally from Yingchang House.Last year, when Jin Bing went south, his father was kidnapped by Jin Bing, and he and his mother escaped.In order to avoid the military disaster, he fled to Caizhou and lived outside Jinxiang Town.The mother and son rely on Zhang Jun to do odd jobs on weekdays to earn money.

Before reaching the thatched cottage, I saw two men there.One was looking left and right with his chest folded, and the other had his ear pressed against the door, with a very wretched expression.The two people Zhang recognized, belonged to Yan Lizheng's family, a big family in the town.

Walking forward, Zhang Jun pointed at the two of them and said, "What are you two servant birds doing in front of my house?"

The person standing in front said: "Don't yell, disturbing the interest of the inside and the outside! You bastard, luck has come today, the staff has fallen in love with your mother, and wants to accept you as a cheap son!"

The person on the other side, who was leaning against the door, turned his head, and his fingers silenced Zhang Jun.Whispered: "Can't help but be noisy! It stopped inside!"

Looking at it like this, how can Zhang Jun not guess what happened?Furious in his heart, he stepped forward and scolded: "In broad daylight, the world is bright, Yan Qing, the old man, dare to trespass the house and do wrong! You have a king's law in your eyes!"

The two laughed.The front said: "When is this? The emperor is in a precarious situation, you tell me the king's law! Our family members are powerful and powerful here, and it is the greatest king's law!"

How could Zhang Jun hold back?One strode forward, raised his leg and kicked the man standing in front.

The man stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Jun's leg.With a loud shout, Zhang Jun was about to be brought down.

I don't want Zhang Jun to see that his body is not tall, but his strength is infinite.This pull, did not pull Zhang Jun, but was bullied by him and grabbed his shoulder.Zhang Jun shouted, pulled his leg out of the man's hand, and pressed his body with force.

The man posted on the door eavesdropping was startled, he turned around in a hurry, and saw that the previous man had already been pushed down by Zhang Jun.

He hurried forward and punched Zhang Jun.Zhang Jun shouted, let go of the man in his hand, raised his foot, and kicked the punching fist away.

At this moment, the door opened.A member in his 50s came out of it.While tidying up his clothes, he scolded: "It's useless! I asked you to guard the door, but you are making a lot of noise here!"

Zhang Jun turned around and stared at Yan Lizheng with a pair of tiger eyes.Angrily: "What are you doing at my house?!"

Yan Lizheng said impatiently: "I want your mother to be an outhouse and give you a way to live. A yard in the town has been prepared, you can move in tomorrow. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly."

Zhang Jun said, "What the hell are you doing! My father was just kidnapped by the golden man, and he didn't die!"

Yan Lizheng said: "Why does he die? I don't want to marry your mother, I just keep it outside. Seeing how old you are, why don't you even understand these things! How much gold and silver in my family? Have a good time for you."

Zhang Jun said, "My mother is innocent. If you don't believe me, I will obey you!"

Yan Lizheng said with a smile: "If it's an innocent family again, don't you want to eat and dress? There is no one to help you, so why should you live!"

Zhang Jun stared at Yan Lizheng, but did not speak for a while.He is a ruthless person, but he is filial to his mother, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.She wanted to go forward to fight, but she didn't know what her mother was thinking, so she froze there for a while.
