Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 803 The worst thing is to be a dragon
Chapter [-] The worst thing is to be a dragon
Huyang County was originally an empty earthen wall, not even the Zhaojiabao of the Zhao family in Shuozhou.However, in the past half a year, this place has completely changed.

In order to protect their own people, more than [-] men from the Zhao family in Shuozhou and the slaves they bought worked overtime and worked day and night. Finally, the construction of Huyang City was completed before the heavy snow came.At this time, Huyang County had a rammed-earth city wall with a width of one foot and six feet, tall and majestic watchtowers, a horse-faced wall, and a female wall. Looking at the Western Regions, if Chen Ying hadn't come here, only Gaochang City could compete with the present Populus euphratica is shoulder to shoulder.

The family business is inherited from generation to generation, and then generations will add bricks and tiles to become a big family. Zhao Boying firmly believes in this.

The ancestor of the Zhao family in Shuozhou was just an ordinary soldier in Shuozhou City in the Han Dynasty. After retiring from the army due to injury, Shuozhou settled down. Shuozhou is famous for being powerful.Now, Huyang City has become the city of the Zhao family. From Huyangcheng's county magistrate, master Bo, county magistrate, six house officials, three classes of yamen servants, jailers, Wuzuo, Genzuo, and doormen, all came from the Zhao family.

Zhao Boying regards Huyang County, which is about 800 miles from north to south and [-] miles from east to west, as a foundation to manage.In order to attract the population, Zhao Boying led his clansmen to build a large number of vacant houses, and built more than [-] large and small houses in Huyang County, Ruoda. Absorb business travelers from the past, or savages from the Western Regions.

Touching his big shiny brass seal, Zhao Boying was very satisfied.

However, there was a faint rumor that the imperial court seemed to be dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the guardian of the capital. At this time, Zhao Boying couldn't sit still.He hastily called his son to him and asked, "Haoxin, how much money does our family have now?"

A large-scale copper mine was discovered in Huyang County. In this era, copper mines are money. This is why Zhao Boying was stronger than other Shuozhou tycoons, and completed the construction of Huyang City and more than 7000 courtyards in one go. Because he rich.

Zhao Haoxin acted as the magistrate, and said with a helpless smile: "Father, our expenses this year are really too high, we only have more than 500 pennies left!"

More than 500 guan does not sound like a lot, but in fact it is a lot of money.According to the calculation that five baht coins usually cost about seven catties, more than 500 coins are equivalent to more than 1 catties.

Zhao Boying thought for a while and said, "Take all the money and follow me to Shule!"

Although Zhao Haoxin didn't understand what Zhao Boying meant, he still acted according to Zhao Boying's idea. More than 1 catties of copper coins were enough to fill three four-wheeled carriages, and each carriage weighed more than 4000 catties.

Two horse-drawn horses and a cart, with a load of nearly forty stone, and the ruts rolling over the road, rattling, must be regarded as a heavy-duty carriage in this world.This kind of car can only be used on hard-surfaced roads in the city, and it costs a little more horsepower to drive on hard-dirt roads; when it rains, the roads become muddy, making them even more prone to lying down.

Fortunately, Chen Ying attacked all the way west and built a lot of asphalt roads at the same time, so he didn't have to worry about road problems.Zhao Boying summoned 300 armored people. Zhao Boying, the magistrate of Populus euphratica, has the power to govern [-] horse archers in Populus euphratica county.Of course, this is in fact only the nature of the militia.

However, in the Western Regions, in order to protect the safety of the Tang people, Chen Ying lifted the restriction that the people in the pass could not have strong crossbows and iron armor. Therefore, Zhao Boying brought three hundred soldiers, together with his own supplies, a total of more than a dozen carts. Go to Shule city in a mighty way.

At this moment, Zhao Haoxin thought it over.Zhao Boying is sending money to Chen Ying, which can also be said to be a loss of sincerity.

Zhao Haoxin couldn't figure it out, the court had already grown jealous of Chen Ying, at this moment, the Zhao family of Shuozhou should draw a line with Chen Ying instead of joining them.

In the bumpy carriage, Zhao Boying felt a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and lay down on the soft couch in the carriage to rest.Zhao Haoxin opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help asking: "Father, the child doesn't understand!"

"what you do not understand?"

"I don't understand why you did this!" Zhao Haoxin suddenly said without anger: "Father, Chief Protector Chen is about to lose power. If we rely on the ground to get there now, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"

"Hey..." Zhao Boying couldn't help being disappointed when he heard this.He sighed and said, "Haoxin, you are the one who will accept the patriarch of the Zhao clan in Shuozhou after you have been a father for a hundred years. Your eyelids are so shallow. How dare you hand over the Zhao clan to you as a father?" ?”

Zhao Haoxin said unconvinced: "Father, what you said is too fair, the child can be regarded as well-educated, although he dare not admit that he is talented, but it will not let the Zhao family decline!"

Zhao Boying said: "Then let me ask you, have you read the Historical Records? What did Fan Zeng say about Xiang Yu during the Hongmen banquet!"

Zhao Haoxin's face turned pale, of course he had read the Historical Records, and he naturally knew what Fan Zeng said about Xiang Yu.
Zhao Boying looked at the disaffected Zhao Hao and said, "Even if Chen Dadu is not the governor of the Western Regions, he is still the Da Situ of the dynasty. It's still Yang Xiang. When they met Chen Daduhu, they still had to give official ceremonies. Even if His Majesty cut Daduhu's Duke of Liang's title and dismissed all his official positions, Daduhu wouldn't be Daduhu? He could just let others trample on him. People? Others can be childish and naive, but you can't!"

Zhao Haoxin's face was livid with anger, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Boying sat up with a sneer and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. At this time, Xu Caifu from the Xu family, Dong An from the Dong family, and Ren Bi from the Ren family should all come too!"

Sure enough, at this moment, the guards reported: "Feng Kelan from the Feng family asks to go with you!"

Zhao Haoxin was puzzled.Show doubts.

Zhao Boying sighed, his son is always good for himself, no matter how bad he is, he is better than other people's sons.Zhao Boying said: "Do you really think that even if we don't rely on the past, others will not think that we are the people of Chen Dadu? In fact, as early as in Shuozhou, when our father took refuge in Chen Dadu, we Shuo The Zhao family of Zhouzhou has been branded with Chen Dadu's mark, no matter what, we can't wash it off!"

Zhao Haoxin said depressedly: "Our Zhao family has just made progress, but at this time, if... that would be a failure!"

"Hmph..." Zhao Boying said: "If it's really that good, our Zhao family might be able to beat the dragon!"

Zhao Boying is right, in fact, Chen Ying has no way to turn back now, unless he is as naive as Yue Fei.In fact, at this time, fighting is death, not fighting is also death.It is definitely not Chen Ying's character to sit back and wait for death.

……

Outside Chang'an City, a group of Yuan Cong disguised themselves as civilians from the forbidden army, and slowly approached Qinglinli.Sitting on the second floor of a restaurant in Qinglin, Du Yan looked at the soldiers of Yuan Cong's imperial army, who didn't look like the common people at all, with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Du Yan picked up a secret letter in his arms and said to Zhang Gongjin beside him: "Find some capable subordinates and send this letter to the East Palace, saying it is for Wei Zheng, but remember that the letter must be Hand it over to Yuchi Gong!"

"Yuchi Gong?" Zhang Gongjin asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why did you give it to Yu Chi Gong?"

"The East Palace is also full of factions!" Du Yan laughed and said, "Wei Zheng and the subordinate officials from Shandong belong to the Shandong faction, while Wei Ting, Feng Li, and others belong to the Guanlong faction, and there is also Chen Ying's faction, who seem to be called Donggong Menxia. General Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhigan, including Yu Chigong, all belong to Chen Ying's sect!"

Zhang Gongjin said thoughtfully: "Understood!"

Saying that, Zhang Gongjin turned around and left with a few followers.

……

Chang'an City, Yuchi Gong's Mansion.An inconspicuous three-entry courtyard, in the alley diagonally opposite the courtyard, Zhang Gongjin watched Yu Chigong in armor go out, and then winked at a servant beside him.

The attendant took the secret letter from Zhang Gongjin and was about to walk towards the door.

But Zhang Gongjin said: "Wait!"

Under the suspicious gaze of the attendant, Zhang Gongjin pointed at the attendant and said, "Shut your breath!"

The attendant was even more puzzled. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Gongjin made a sudden move and pressed on the attendant's shoulder, gradually increasing his strength.

The attendant gritted his teeth and carried it hard.

Zhang Gongjin's martial arts are not weak, and her strength is astonishingly strong, how could this attendant be able to resist.In just a moment, the attendant's face flushed red under Zhang Gongjin's pressure, and thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Looking at the sweat on the servant's face, Zhang Gongjin said with satisfaction: "Go!"

The sweaty attendant ran to Yuchi Gong's door panting and shook the knocker.

Yu Chigong's Si Yan pushed open the door and said, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The attendant said, "Where is Wei Xima?

Si Yan was a little puzzled and said, "Wei Xima?"

Before Si Yan could speak, the attendant hurriedly said: "Oh... that means he is not here! Remember to hand over this letter to Wei Xima. This is a private letter from General Chen to Wei Xima. No one else can read it. .”

As he spoke, the attendant directly stuffed the secret letter into Si Yan's hands regardless of Si Yan's reaction.

At night, when Yu Chigong returned to the mansion exhausted, Si Yan hurriedly delivered the letter to Yu Chigong's hand and said, "My lord, this is a secret letter from General Chen to Wei Xima!"

Yu Chigong asked in confusion: "General Chen's secret letter to Wei Zheng? Where is the person who sent it?"

Si Yan said, "Put the letter down and leave."

Yuchi Gong asked suspiciously: "Do you know the messenger?
The guard shook his head and said: "I've never seen it before, so it shouldn't be the people under General Chen. Although I don't know all the people under General Chen, there will definitely be no strangers!"

Yu Chigong picked up the secret letter and sat looking to the right, with a suspicious expression on his face.Yu Chigong finally couldn't bear it anymore and tore open the secret letter to read.

After Yuchi Gong saw it, he was furious, and smashed the letter on the table with a fist.

The table made of mahogany was torn apart and turned into pieces under Yu Chigong's punch.

Si Yan asked in shock, "My lord, what happened?"

Yu Chigong roared ferociously: "What else can happen, Chen Ying asked Wei Zheng to design to kill me!"

Si Yan was full of doubts and said, "But General Chen, why did you do this?"

Yuchi Gong was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yu Chigong took the secret letter, read it over and over again, and muttered to himself: "No, this is obviously the handwriting of General Chen!"

PS: Two more six thousand and four, good night everyone.The weak are asking for votes and support.
