Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 430 What a big man

It was said that the departure was at the end of March, and by the time Yu Huan and Zhang Jun made all kinds of preparations and left Xiangyang, it was already early April.Yu Huan went first, and Zhang Jun led his men, followed by sisters Yu Nu and Ping Ping.On the tenth day of April, I arrived in Xinye City.

Seeing that the sun was already setting, Zhang Jun said: "We will stay in Xinye City for one day, and we will leave early tomorrow. After two days, we will arrive at Nanyang County and enter Ruzhou through Lushan Pass. Much better to go."

Yu Nu said: "Why do you live here? But Dengzhou?"

Zhang Jundao: "It will take an extra day to go to Dengzhou. There is no need. From Xiangyang to the north, most of them pass through Xinye, arrive at Nanyang County, and then go to Lushan Pass. Dengzhou is too far to the west."

After Wang Xiaolie occupied Xiangyang and Dengzhou, he made great efforts to rebuild the road to the north, especially the road to Luoyang.If the destination of Xiangyang's northward journey is Luoyang, Nanyang's status will be more important than before.In the past, the main destination of going north was Kaifeng, and the road moved eastward, and Tangzhou became a traffic artery.During the Tang Dynasty, the goal was Guanzhong, and Dengzhou's status was even more important.

As the power stabilizes, Wang Xiaolie has a general plan for the Northern Expedition.Unlike Li Heng and Yue Fei's Northern Expeditions in history, Wang Xiaolie's main goal was Luoyang.Before Luoyang is stabilized, there is no plan to attack Kaifeng Mansion.The Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty had been the capital for 200 years. The status of Kaifeng was too sensitive and lacked strength. Unlike Luoyang, which was good for defense, its strategic position was relatively unimportant.

The first step is to rebuild the road.From Xiangyang to Luoyang in the north, the most convenient way is to go through Xinye to Nanyang County, take Lushan Pass, and turn to Luoyang after reaching Ruzhou. "That is to say, from Ba Gorge to Wu Gorge, and then to Xiangyang to Luoyang", this is an important ancient road.

Xinye City is only three miles away from the newly built Xinye Army City. In two or three years, it has become extremely prosperous.There are various inns and restaurants in the city, one next to the other.There are many shops on the road, and there is a wine shop within three or five steps.

Not far away, Zhang Jun pointed to the front and said: "Look, there is the Yuelai Inn, the property of the Zhenfu Division. If there is such an inn, there is nothing wrong with living in it. The servant is diligent and tidy, The most worry-free."

While talking, a few people arrived outside the inn, and a young man in blue clothes and socks came up to him.Several people registered their names and went through the formalities.The young man led them to the backyard, pointed to a row of three houses and said, "The three guest officials will live here. If it's inconvenient, you can let the female relatives live in the courtyard next to it, where there are all female guests."

Zhang Jun said: "No need. This place is fine."

Several people entered the house, and the servant brought hot water to wash their faces.He poured the wash water, brought the teapot, and made tea for several people.

Sitting in the room for a while, watching Lu Cheng arrange everything properly.Zhang Jundao: "It's getting late, let's go eat. Xinye City is close to the military city, and the guests are mainly soldiers from the military city. I heard that the food is unique. Today we have an early rest and have a few bowls of wine."

After leaving the room, they called the sisters Yunu, and they left the inn.

At this time, there are some inns that also serve as warehouses, but very few provide food and drink.Most of them have kitchens for guests to bring their own rice and buy firewood from the inn to cook for themselves.If you don't want to cook, go out to eat.

Look at the fiery red sun lying on the west mountain, like a big fireball.Wan Dao Xiaguang sprinkled down, like a dream.Zhang Jundao: "Today is really a good weather! Look at the sun—"

Pingping on the side suddenly said: "Look there, what a strong man!"

Looking in the direction pointed by Pingping, I saw five big men walking on the road ahead.One of them was more than seven feet long, and his body was full of muscles, which looked like an iron tower.The people around him are all tall and tall, so they can be a head shorter in front of this man.

Looking up and down a few times, Zhang Jun said: "Idiot grows up! Such a person eats a few more bowls of rice per meal than others, but it is useless! You little ladies, you have never seen the world!"

Pingping looked at Zhang Jun with disdain and snorted.

Yu Nu didn't speak.It's nothing else, as my sister's background, I have seen many men, and I have never seen anything in the world.

When several people walked over, Zhang Jun lost his mood.Asked Yu Nu: "It's rare to get to Xinye once, and some of us are going to drink. You two said, where are we going? Although Xinye City is small, it has everything."

Yu Nu said: "When I was in Xiangyang, I heard people say that Xinye pan noodles are very famous. The Maike noodle restaurant in Xiangyang even invited Dai Zhao from Xinye to make it. I ate it in Xiangyang and it was really delicious. Today I arrived in Xinye , of course you have to try it.”

"What's so delicious about noodles? Besides, it's not convenient to drink alcohol in a noodle shop." Zhang Jun frowned when he heard this. "How about this, the two of you go to eat noodles, and the rest of us go to drink. Remember, after eating noodles, go back to the inn and rest early. Now Xinye City is not the same as before. Not only is there a military city next to it, but it is also in the south On the avenue going north."

Yu Nu didn't want to be with Zhang Jun and these rough guys, so she led Pingping to eat noodles.

Watching the two leave, Zhang Jun said: "It's really inconvenient to travel with women. If it's just us, we can drink alcohol if we want to, and eat meat if we want to. How happy it is! How inconvenient it is to have these two women traveling together! Alas, I don't know why Yu Huan brought them along."

After finishing speaking, he and Lu Cheng, Wang Gan and Liu Jing walked to the "Game of Reds" not far away.

This stall is located along the water and has a large area.There is a fence around it, and there are many small bamboo tables and chairs inside.On the north side is the store's kitchen, half of which is a barbecue grill, half of which is a hot stove, and there is a large table of cold dishes next to it.

Arriving in front of Zhumen, Zhang Jun said: "Zhenfu is also interesting. The barbecue stall in Xiangyang is called Human Fireworks, and the business is very good. Later, they opened another one and named it 'Game Hongchen'. The place is a good place, but the name , is always a little weird."

Wang dared to say: "Controlling, Zhenfu is a fairy-like figure. When he came to this mortal world, he might just be playing with the world of mortals. We ordinary people naturally can't understand the beauty of it. What does it matter? Only the food inside is good, and the wine is good. Come on, that's enough!"

Zhang Jun laughed.Leading the three of them pushed open the bamboo door and entered inside.

There are not many servants here.Once inside, you find your own seat.After sitting down, the servant will come to greet you.

The weather in early summer, the sun has just set, there is a slight breeze, there is no chill, and it is not very hot, it is the best time.In the sunlight, there are dragonflies flying outside the fence, and a few bats fly quickly in the air, looking peaceful and harmonious.

Zhang Jun looked it over, and suddenly found five big men at the side.One of the men was exceptionally tall, sitting there, he was much taller than the others.Isn't it the ones you saw outside the store just now?
