Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 409 The Wind
The Hui'an gate opened slowly.

The people who had gathered outside got up one after another, carrying their burdens and burdens, and drove the donkey cart into the city.

The buildings in the city are slightly dilapidated, dirty, and empty, but for the people living nearby, it is much better than it was a few years ago.

"Last year in Zezhou, Li Cunxiao personally led [-] cavalry to challenge him. He acted like no one else, shouting and cursing everywhere. General Deng was not angry, so he also chose [-] fine cavalry to fight, but was captured by Li Cunxiao on the spot. The gang of thieves in Hedong really don't want to fight. Fate. When it was time, the blood flowed like a river, it was horrible..."

"Hu Er, you speak clearly and logically, as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"Hu Er is not as close as I am. I was five miles away from the place where General Deng was captured, and Hu Er 'saw' him more than ten miles away."

"If Hu Er is by the side, he must have urinated."

"Ha ha……"

Outside the gate of Hui'an, Hu Er was ridiculed by his colleagues for a while, his face turned red immediately, and he became angry from embarrassment: "If I were here, I would have shot Li Cunxiao to death with an arrow, so there is no future."

Everyone laughed even harder.

There was a sound of horseshoes in the city.

Everyone who was laughing immediately stood up and stopped talking nonsense.

After a while, more than ten riders galloped out of the city, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

"General Zhang is on patrol again." Someone exclaimed.

"The weather is good this year, and the harvest in the field should be good. General Zhang is anxious to go out and see."

"The weather is good. In this world, it is not easy to fill your stomach."

When everyone said this, their expressions were quite respectful.

When Zhang Dashuai first came to Luoyang, the place had just been washed several times. Han Jian, Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru and others led wave after wave of troops to fight in Luoyang, making the people miserable and fleeing.The good east has become a piece of dilapidated walls and ruins, "no one lives in the city", "the grass grows when the wind blows", and "the chickens and dogs don't hear".

Today's Luoyang people have all moved back from other places after Marshal Zhang took over.In addition, there are a large number of sergeant families, some living in the city, and some living in Henan and Luoyang counties attached to Guo.

The stable life and household registration all depend on Zhang Shuai's virtue.

Zhang Quanyi came to the countryside of Henan County on horseback.

"Zhang Shuai is really capable." Outside Lindu post, a man dismounted from his horse and cupped his hands.

"Shijun is really bold, here he is, don't hide it, I thought I would see you in the middle of the night." Zhang Quanyi glanced around, there was no one around, he felt relieved, and returned with his hands I saluted.

"Why Zhang Shuai is so timid!" The visitor laughed, and said, "Sitting in the land of one prefecture and one state, the official is the governor of the Youguo Army, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the granary is sufficient and the food is abundant. If I have your money, I will do it soon It's a big one."

"Please don't tease me." Zhang Quanyi sighed.

His face is full of wind and frost, which is the trace left by his early years of farm work.His left hand is always resting on the hilt of the knife, but his personal martial arts have long been neglected, so he just asks for psychological comfort.

If you really draw out your knife, who can you beat?

The visitor smiled without saying a word, walked around in front of the post station, and said, "How much is Heluo Mu?"

"There are still one hu and one or two buckets." Zhang Quanyi was a little impatient, and asked: "The envoy came in person, and the picture must be big. What's the matter?"

"Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru came back and forth, causing the Henan government to suffer a lot. Zhang Shuai has been in power for many years, and the story of the eighteen generals has been sung around. The people can't wait to build a shrine for you. So there should be [-] households? Ruzhou probably also has one. Wan Hu. Tsk tsk, he really is a capable person. Oh, yes, I almost forgot about Li Hanzhi, he is also a disaster."

The corners of Zhang Quanyi's mouth twitched when he heard the word "Li Hanzhi". This is his brother who has made an alliance and promised to protect each other!
"Plant more than a hundred mulberry trees and [-] acres of millet. I have more than enough food and clothing, and I often meet with relatives and friends." The visitor looked at the village that was faintly visible in the distance, and said with a smile: "Oh, the foundation of farmers' well-being in Henan Province. Want it too."

The confidants behind Zhang Quanyi had angry faces when they heard this, and they wished they could just draw their swords and behead this frivolous villain.

The foundation of the Henan Mansion was really built by the general who overcame all obstacles and brought everyone together.There are still people coveting it. If they really don't know how to live or die, even Zhu Quanzhong would not dare to be so arrogant!

But Zhang Quanyi could bear it very much, he stretched out his hand to stop the confidant behind him, and said: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, and everything is complicated, so if you don't have something important, I will leave you."

Perhaps the person who came here felt that he had done enough, so he restrained his smile, turned around to look at Zhang Quanyi, and said, "Zhang Shuai, it's okay to tell you, but—"

"If it comes in handy, I owe you a favor."

The visitor thought it over carefully, as if he was considering whether Zhang Quanyi's favor was worthwhile. After all, he had a history of sneak attacking Li Hanzhi, and even captured Li's family members. After a flash, he finally spoke.

"Zhang Shuai knows that you are about to face disaster!"

Zhang Quanyi was shocked when he heard the words, and subconsciously thought of Bian Shuai Zhu Quanzhong.

Could it be that he has been working as a small boy for so many years, has tried his best to supply food, grass, equipment, and sent troops to conquer Hedong, can't he be satisfied?This is about to start?

But thinking about it carefully, Zhu Quanzhong doesn't seem to be such a person, he still has a little method.

"What do you mean?"

"It's a big matter, Zhang Shuai listened to me."

Zhang Quanyi leaned over, someone leaned into his ear and spoke carefully.

"What a thief!" Zhang Quanyi stomped his feet angrily!
"This matter is absolutely true, it's time for Zhang Shuai to make some preparations. After all this is said, I will leave now."

"Let me go slowly, and I will never forget the kindness I told you today. In the battle between Pu and Shuai in the future, we will help each other wherever we can, and we will never break our promise."

The visitor nodded, quite satisfied.

In a hurry, Zhang Quanyi got on his horse and shouted to his relatives, "Let's go!"

The road back is smooth.

He personally led the people to repair this road during the slack season.

There are many street trees planted on both sides of the road, which are already lush.Beyond the street trees, there are large tracts of fertile fields and water canals, and the golden wheat is approaching harvest.

The joy of a good year's harvest!
Thinking of this, Zhang Quanyi almost burst into tears.

thief!Good thief!

******
"Grandfather, this year's harvest is good." On the ridge of the field, the young man put down the sickle in his hand and looked longingly at the golden fields everywhere.

"One acre can cost two buckets of stone." The old man smiled, obviously in a good mood: "After harvesting the autumn grain, I will go make new clothes for your sister."

The family is too miserable.

Years of wars and chaos, the Bian division came to collect food, and the Jin soldiers came to plunder.The fights came and went, but nothing was achieved, but the common people became poorer and poorer, and they couldn't get out of the pot.

The old wife and daughter only wear the same clothes, and whoever goes out wears them. What does this look like?
My wife is mediocre this year, and God is also kind, the weather is good, and I can finally relax a little bit.

"Buy a few more chickens and come back. After raising them and laying eggs, you can also go to the market to exchange money." The young man imagined.

"There will be." The old man smiled.

On the banks of the small river, miles away from the father and son, a large group of cavalry in black had just crossed the river.

The general looked at the vast field and pointed his fingers. Soon, the cavalry divided into several groups and galloped out.

Behind them, the infantry walked lightly and swiftly.

The bow has been wound, the knife has been unsheathed, and the murderous look is on the face.

The cavalry rushed over along the path in the field, and the father and son who were harvesting wheat had pale faces.

"Pfft!" As soon as the spear was stabbed, the old man clutched his stomach and fell on the field ridge. The bundled wheat bundles were stained red with blood, which was the hope of the whole family for the next year.

The young man's eyes were red, and he rushed out waving a sickle, but he was shot down by an arrow halfway, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he died with regret.

The crow army poured into Huaizhou like a tide.

The village has been surrounded.

Sergeants like wolves and tigers rushed into people's homes and looted wantonly.

Hedong has been fighting for years, but it is not rich. The whole army took advantage of the autumn harvest and went south. If there is no thought of feeding the enemy, is it possible?

The old woman knelt in front of the door, crying and begging the soldiers not to go in.

As soon as he swung his knife and chopped it off, his head flew far away.

Several people broke into the room, only to see a woman huddled in the corner of the bed wrapped in a dirty quilt, she didn't even have any clothes.

The woman's cries and the man's wild laughter soon resounded in the room.

Outside the village, an overwhelming number of Jin soldiers are gathering and heading south, heading straight for Hanoi County in Huaizhou.

These are Li Hanzhi's soldiers, he is the vanguard appointed by Li Keyong.

The army moved suddenly and made rapid progress. It broke through two Heyang army villages in one day and rushed all the way down.

In the future, more soldiers and horses are gathering in Zezhou.

There are more than [-] soldiers from the Yamen, the Outer Town Army, the State Army, the County Town Army, and the Tutuan Army. They are aggressive and vow to avenge last year's Bianshi Wei Zelu.

During the siege of Zezhou, Cai soldiers from Huaixi arrested Minzhuang everywhere, and then threw them a wooden spear, forcing them to charge forward with their family members as hostages.

The people were strong and unarmored, and they didn't know how to fight, so they rushed forward in a panic, and used up seven or eight arrows of Zelu soldiers stationed outside the city. The corpses filled the trenches and moats, creating convenience for the attacking side.

Of course, these Minzhuang's family members did not find out well, and they disappeared in the end, perhaps they were all taken captive back to Henan.

Sergeant Zelu didn't like Li Hanzhi because he was extremely cruel, but he also didn't like Bian people, they were not good birds either.

This time, let's kill a few more Bian people first!

It is best to rush all the way to the city of Bianzhou.Heyang is too poor. A group of people were killed by Sun Ru, and tens of thousands were relocated by Shao Dashuai of Lingxia. There are not many left. What can we get?
It's better to grab Zhu Quanzhong!
　Chapter 2 should be at night, and it will be busy during the day.
