Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 46 Who is Devil Six!
From Pingyang to the west via Jiezhou and Puzhou, you can reach Tongguan, and after Tongguan is the boundary of Shaanxi.

Tongguan has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times. Whether it is to win the world or defend the world, Tongguan is very important.

The Qing court continued to fortify the ancient city of Tongguan in the Ming Dynasty, repaired and built many facilities, and directly established Tongguan County here.During the reign of Qianlong, it was changed to Tongguan Hall, which was attached to Tongzhou Prefecture, Tongshang Road, Shaanxi.

It began to snow on the road from Puzhou to Tongguan, and when we arrived at Tongguan, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the feathers are not enough to describe.

Of course it is impossible to camp outside in such weather. Fortunately, there are many vacant barracks in Tongguan City, and the Eight Banners team quickly settled down under the arrangement of local officials.

The Zhenglan Banner of the Han army was divided into four rooms, all of which were Datong shops similar to chariot and horse shops, and one room could accommodate twenty or thirty people.

After Jia Liu assigned the houses, he asked people to light charcoal fires for each house to keep warm. When it was time to pay attention to the ventilation, someone came to inform the leaders of the banners to gather at the team leader.

meeting? !

Jia Liu, who was very conscious, hurriedly asked Chang Bingzhong to help arrange the people, while he trotted all the way to "listen" to Mr. Ah's speech, so as to grasp the spirit of the superior in time, so as to implement it as soon as possible and be flexible.

When I arrived, I was told that due to the heavy snow in Shaanxi, the roads in many places were blocked by snow. Although the local officials had organized civilians to clear the snow, I am afraid that the team will not be able to leave for two days.

"It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing."

After Alanbao said this, he told the foremen of the banners to restrain his subordinates from going out to cause trouble as before, and then motioned everyone to go back, leaving Jia Liu alone.

This made the other seven foremen who left were very jealous of Jia Liu, and of course they hated it.

"What does your lord have to say!"

Jia Liu took out the fire book and wanted to light it for the leader, but Alanbao waved his hand to signal that he didn't want it. Then he took out a snuff bottle and put it in his nose, sniffed it fiercely, showing a satisfied look on his face.

This action reminded Jia Liu of the joke about Uncle Yu smoking a cigarette that he had heard in his previous life.

After pondering for a few breaths, Alanbao just sat down, and then looked at Jia Liu with a smile: "I heard that you are first-class in the test of Tang A San, not bad, I read you right, you are really a talent .”

If you want to talk about other things, Jia Liu is not on the top, but this Jia Liu is full of energy immediately, but his face is full of humility: "This subordinate is just lucky, I dare not be an adult to boast!"

"Where is good luck if you don't have real skills?"

Alanbao put the snuff bottle on the table, tapped the table with his right index finger, "Well, it's fine anyway, you take someone to get some game, and I'll have a drink with Lord Gui and the others tonight."

"Ah?. Ah!"

When Jia Liu came out, he served Alanbao's mother: "It's snowing heavily, you let the young master get the game, you might as well just let the young master get you."

Helpless, the first rank of an official crushes people to death, not to mention that Captain Jia is not an official yet.

Thinking that there might be game sellers in Tongguan City, I wanted to spend some money to buy some, but when I went out to look at the shops on the street, no matter what they sold, they were all closed.

Is this the reason for the heavy snow, or the reason for the soldiers of the Eight Banners?
Jia Liu couldn't make a final decision. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the leader, he had no choice but to go back and drag Zu Yingyuan and Chang Bingzhong with them, and took two teams of Sula out of the city to hunt.

Tongguan is a land of mountains and peaks, and there is definitely no shortage of game.

When Chang Bingzhong and the others heard that they were going hunting, they were very motivated. After several days of marching, the eggs were almost scattered, and they were eager to go out for activities.

Zu Yingyuan reminded Jia Liu that it is okay to go hunting in the mountains, but they are not familiar with the terrain, so they must find a local as a guide so as not to get lost in the mountains.

Jia Liuyi thought right, this matter is very important, so he asked Zu Yingyuan to find a guide.

After a while, the person was found.

It is the son of a family next to the military camp. He usually goes up the mountain with others to cut firewood, makes a trap to catch some game, and returns to make tooth sacrifices.

The leading fee is not much, only thirty coppers.

Jia Liu cheerfully threw a silver bean weighing three or four coins to the kid surnamed Hu. This was his habit in his previous life—as long as he hired someone to do something, he must give him an extra pack of cigarettes in addition to his salary, or an extra pack of cigarettes. A 35-ten, so that the enthusiasm of the other party's work will be greatly improved, and the work and quantity will be guaranteed, without labor and snacks, and sometimes it will save you from wasting money.

Just like that, Jia Liu and his party rode six horses and led two teams of Su La out of the city.

In Tongguan City, he didn't feel much about it. When he got to the surrounding mountains and looked down from a high place, Jia Liu really realized the importance of Tongguan.

This place is extremely dangerous!

The valleys are deep and the cliffs are steep, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow. The only road that can pass is the narrow path when they came, which can only accommodate one car and one horse.

No wonder when I went to the city, I saw the "First Pass" inscribed by Qianlong hanging on the gate of the city.

There must not be much wild game in the mountains and forests near Tongguan City, so if you want to catch wild game, you have to go deep.

The further they walked, the more frightened Jia Liu became. If they hadn't had a guide, they would have lost their way after entering the mountain, and even froze to death in this ghost place.

Soon, Jia Liu and the others found their first target ahead - a pheasant with its head buried in the snow.

"I come!"

Zu Yingyuan jumped over the crowd, bent his bow and set an arrow, and with a "swoosh" the arrow hit the pheasant.

The pheasant hit by the arrow flew up and down for a while, and finally landed under a pine tree.A Su La strode over and picked it up, it was estimated to be five or six catties.

Jia Liu looked at Zu Yingyuan with admiration, no wonder this kid speaks so eloquently, he really has some skills.

Afterwards, nothing was discovered. After the group passed through the dense forest for about two or three miles under the leadership of the guide surnamed Hu, the sight suddenly opened up in front of them, and it was actually a valley sunken in the mountains.

The surrounding mountains are covered with snow, and the valley is also covered with a vast expanse of whiteness, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Jia Liu was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him. After throwing the horse to Yang Zhi, he slid down the hillside first.In the valley, he grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Chang Bingzhong, who then slid down.

Not to be outdone, Chang Bingzhong immediately grabbed the snowball and fought back, just like when he was a child.

Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu and other Suras came down and saw the situation, they also joined in the snow battle, had a great time, they looked at the guide surnamed Hu a little dazedly, they didn't understand why these Eight Banners soldiers were like children.

"Okay, get down to business,"

Jia Liu stuffed a big snowball rolled by Yang Zhi into Wang Fu's neck, decisively ended the battle, took a handful of snow from the ground and wiped it on his face with a wicked smile on his face.

It was cold before, but now both hands and face are a little warm.

The guide surnamed Hu came over and said, "Master Jun, there are many wild animals in front of you. If you are lucky, you might bump into wild boars."

"If you can get a wild boar, I'll give you another one or two!"

Jia Liu laughed, took off his big bow from the horse, and was about to move forward, when Yang Zhi behind him cried out in alarm: "Master, step!"

This scream startled Jia Liu, he jumped up from the spot, almost slipped when he landed, and looked at the place where he was standing before, his heart skipped a beat, it turned out that there was a skeleton in the snow.

"It's here too!"

"I have it too!"

"."

Everyone was terrified, because they found that there were many dead bones under the snow.Many have weathered long ago, only to become extremely strong due to the freezing.

"What is this place, why are there so many dead bones!"

Zu Yingyuan grabbed the guide surnamed Hu, and the two older Su La also stepped forward to prevent the guide from violently injuring others.

"Master Jun, this place was originally called the Valley of Thieves."

The guide surnamed Hu was also frightened, and quickly explained that Li Zicheng's Dashun Army fought against the Qing Army in Tongguan more than a hundred years ago. The two sides fought here for many days and many people died.

Later, a general surnamed Ma under Li Zicheng pretended to surrender to the Qing soldiers, but was spotted by the commander-in-chief of the Qing soldiers, the prince. All people were ambushed and killed.

"The people who died before, plus those who were killed later, there are too many people who died. There is no place to dig holes in the mountains and forests, so the Qing soldiers put all the corpses in this mountain stream. After more than a hundred years In fact, there is not much left, we played in this place when we were young, and we don’t think there is anything to be afraid of.”

After the guide surnamed Hu finished speaking, he stood there cautiously and did not dare to move, lest the Eight Banners Army Lord be unhappy and turn him into another dead bone here.

"Captain Jia, it seems that something like this happened."

Zu Yingyuan said in a low voice.

Jia Liu didn't make a sound, looked around the snow-covered valley, and suddenly squatted down and used a knife to pull the snow around, revealing two leg bones that looked like white wooden sticks, and an arrow was stuck on one of the leg bones.

When the arrow was pulled out, the frozen leg bone made a light and crisp cracking sound, and broke into two pieces at once.

"Master?"

Yang Zhi didn't know what the young master was staring at that rusty arrowhead.

There seems to be a flag that has been fused with the soil under Zu Yingyuan's feet.

I can't tell whether it's mud or flags.

Jia Liu watched quietly, as if for a moment, he saw the scene of peasant soldiers rushing towards the Tartar camp more than a hundred years ago.

"Kill!"

The unyielding cries of the old Qin people echoed in the valley
Time travels, and now it has been a hundred years, and the former hero has become a dead bone that no one cares about in the barren valley.

A group of descendants of the Han people stood on the battlefield where their ancestors rose up and resisted with braids.

What kind of taste is this?
Jia Liu didn't know, he just silently put the arrow in his pocket, and said to everyone looking at him, "Let's go."

Just as he was about to turn around, a sharp arrow sank into the snow less than a foot away from Jia Liu with a "swoosh".

The feathers on the arrow tails were still vibrating violently.

"Master!"

Yang Zhi was so frightened that he stepped forward and stretched out his hands to block Jia Liu. Zu Yingyuan and the others also changed their expressions and went to get weapons one after another.

But it was too late, there were dozens of horses riding towards them in the valley to the north!

However, these knights on horseback did not shoot any more arrows, nor did they gallop their horses into the Zhenglan Banner group of the Han army. They just circled them around and reined in their horses to stop.

"Who is Devil Six!"

Yu Ma, a very young man from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, pointed contemptuously at the people surrounded by them in the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army with a whip.

"I'm."

Jia Liu looked at the full flag, then at the arrow branch that had just been pulled out from the ground, and directly handed the arrow branch to the full flag.

"Is this arrow yours?"

"Hmph, remember, my servant is also the master of your Han army! This time, I will spare you for the leader's sake, and next time, I will shoot you with one arrow!"

The man who was full of flags reined in his horse as if no one was there, whipped his whip and went away.

"drive!"

"Drive!"

Dozens of Manchu and Mongolian disciples followed the man, among them was the great-grandson Hong Jiadebiao of Hong Chengchou who carried the Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria.

As the sound of hooves went away, countless hoof prints appeared on the valley, as well as countless skeletons of Dashun soldiers who had been stirred out from the snow.

"Master?"

Yang Zhi stared blankly, he knew that this was someone who came to warn the young master, who made the young master do those immoral things all the time.

"It's okay, let's go hunting!"

Jia Liu didn't take this matter to heart at all, but there was still a smile on his face.

But after getting on the horse, he still glanced sideways at the Manmeng disciple who was going away, the smile on his face froze little by little, and finally disappeared gradually.

Instead, it was cold.
