Da Wei Chun

Chapter 461
Venus hangs high, and the sky is twilight.

A battalion of tiger cavalry and a battalion of tiger ben came out of the camp mightily.All are standard configurations of riding three horses.Although there are only two thousand soldiers, there are tens of thousands of cavalry.

After leaving the camp of the Chinese army, and then passing by the camp of the new army that was used as the rear army, all you see are soldiers and horses, but you don't see half a car driving?

The more Yang Jun looked at it, the more wrong it became: without a bag of grain or a handful of grass, Li Chengzhi planned to let these two thousand soldiers and six thousand horses drink the northwest wind?
"Where's the food?"

"Of course there will be later!"

Li Chengzhi made a haha, and confessed to Wu Weilang General Yuan Zhi (Huqi Camp General) and Yuan Xi who had been demoted to Huben Lang General (Hu Ben Camp General), "Have you received all the seals?"

Although the two nodded their heads, there was a trace of suspicion at the same time: With a copper token the size of a child's palm, can they eat and camp along the road?
And can eat and live all the way to six towns, a full more than 2000 miles?
Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xi doubted whether they would starve to death or freeze to death on the way...

Knowing that Li Chengzhi deliberately concealed it, Yang Jun still didn't know that the destination of his trip was Liuzhen.So these two didn't dare to talk too much, they clasped their fists in response, and took the order to leave.

It wasn't until Li Chengzhi confessed to "start the camp" that Yang Jun realized: let alone food and grass, there are two thousand soldiers without a camp tent?
No...it also includes Li Chengzhi's soldiers...

"Li Chengzhi, what the hell are you doing?"

"Can't you be more patient?"

While urging the horse, Li Chengzhi reprimanded, "If you don't want to go, there is still time to return to the camp, and I won't have to listen to your noise all the way..."

nonsense?

It is precisely because I am afraid that you will mess around that Li Shao made me follow you closely, how could I go back to the camp?
He wanted to ask Li Shao for advice, but he was afraid that Li Chengzhi would take the opportunity to get rid of him, so he took the first step.When he catches up again, God knows it's the year of the monkey...Yang Jun gritted his teeth and could only urge the horse to keep up.

After traveling for nearly ten miles without any haste, the genius came to light.Looking around, the two battalions of cavalry had already disappeared.

Surrounding him are only Yuan Qiao, a group of Yazhang soldiers, and five servants of the Li family.

Just about to ask, Li Chengzhi stopped his horse.Taking a closer look, there is a group of cars parked on the shore, about a dozen of them.There is a commercial flag hanging on the roof of the car, and the drivers are all dressed as common people, as if they are the clerks of some store.

Only when he saw the pattern of copper coins with a circle on the outside and a square inside on the flag, did Yang Jun realize: Is this the caravan of Luoyang minister Jia Liubao?
It turns out that the food for the two thousand cavalry was transferred by Liu Bao?
If it is said that the officials are very rich, Yuan Yong is the most, followed by Yuan Chen.But if you talk about the folks, it must be Liu Bao.

Historical records: Liu Bao of Wei Dynasty, produced a copper mountain, and stored a golden cave at home.The houses are beyond the standard, the buildings and views are out of the clouds, the clothes of the chariots and horses are like those of the kings... There is a house in every city, county, county and county, and each raises a hundred horses... As for the price of salt and millet, the market price is high or low, it is just one example...

It means that Liu Bao's business name has been popularized all over the world, and it can be transferred from south to north according to the current price.

After the Qin Dynasty, merchants were reduced to humble status.With a businessman, he can "exceed the rules of the house, and the view of the building is out of the clouds", which shows that Liu Bao is rich?

The reason why Yuanyong and Yuanchen are rich is that Xiaowenshi was deeply favored by Yuanhong, and he bestowed copper mountains, salt ponds, iron mines, and coal mountains on more than one place.

But mines alone are not enough, they have to be mined and sold.

Liu Bao relied on this to make a living and maintain relationships with the powerful.

In addition, silk, cloth, grain, and ceramics from Luoyang were transported to border towns and grasslands, and sold to Rouran, Gaoche, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, etc.Then the horses, cattle and sheep, rough iron materials, etc. were transported to the Central Plains, and even the Southern Dynasties...

Li Chengzhi even saw a large amount of kelp that Liu Bao sold to Luoyang?

This stuff is not produced in China's waters.

It can be seen that Liu Bao has achieved "the world of business"...

With such a powerful figure in front of him, how could Li Chengzhi not know how to use it?

The food, cloth and the like needed by Li Song were transported to Hexi in this way.

In addition, Li Chengzhi also used Liu Bao's business store network to establish more than a dozen post stations along the way from Hexi to Luoyang.

When necessary, it can be used as an intelligence station...

It's a pity that the concept of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" has been baked into the bones of the ancients.Li Chengzhi suggested to Yuan Ke several times: such as Lianghuai in the south, six towns in the north and other military rations and all needs can be transferred by civilians and merchants.

But it was not adopted.

This time, Li Chengzhi wanted to try it on a small scale...

"I've met Duke An Ding and Sima Yang!"

Seeing Li Chengzhi and Yang Jun dismount, Liu Bao bowed respectfully.

Unremarkable in appearance, in his forties, he is white and fat, but his eyes are full of cleverness.

"There is Lao Suiningbo!"

Li Chengzhi bowed his hands politely.

The Northern Wei Dynasty also had the policy of worshiping nobles (donating officials) in millet, how could Liu Bao let it go?Therefore, there is a title.

But it's just a title, Liu Bao is still a businessman, if he doesn't change his nationality, his descendants will still not be able to be officials.

After being polite, Li Chengzhi waved his hand again: "Change!"

Watching Yuan Qiao, Li Liang and others pull out the leather jacket and linen clothes from the car, and change into the iron armor on their bodies, Yang Jun's hair stood on end in shock.

Li Chengzhi clearly wanted to hide and hide.These dozens of carriages, the merchant flags, etc. are all prepared for sneaking.

No wonder the two thousand cavalry didn't even bring half a catty of grain or a handful of grass.It is clear that he wants to ride lightly and march day and night...

Could it be that he still wants to go straight into the tiger's den?
Yang Jun was angry and impatient, and couldn't stop admiring Li Shao.

If you are worthy of being a family friend, you know Li Chengzhi so well, and you have expected that Li Chengzhi will never act according to common sense?

But Li Chengzhi is the coach, and he is just Sima.If he really wants to be tough, how can he persuade him?
"Are you crazy?"

"Don't panic!"

Li Chengzhi waved his hand, signaled Liu Bao to avoid, and then said in a low voice, "This is not Liangzhou or Longxi, but Xiazhou..."

"Xiazhou, Gao Meng? If you say that Gao Meng is rebellious, it is absolutely impossible...then why do you need to sneak?"

"Why else? I just want to see if I can join forces with Gao Meng and steal Yu Jing's retreat first... Those two thousand cavalry were sent by me in advance to detour towards Bogulu Town..."

Copy Yu Jing's back road?

This reason sounds so strong and sufficient, but Yang Jun felt that Li Chengzhi was not telling the truth.

I was really scared of being cheated...

"Don't make any more noise... If you go, take off your armor and change your clothes, if you don't go, ride your horse back to camp..."

Now that the bow has been fired, how can there be an arrow back?

Yang Jun gritted his teeth resentfully: "Go..."

Not long after, from Li Chengzhi down, more than a hundred soldiers had put on thick leather robes and felt hats.Driving a dozen or so carts to the north...

……

Snow outside the Great Wall, thousands of miles of white ground.

The finger-sized snowflakes are like goose feathers and pine flakes, floating down one after another, like a goddess scattering flowers.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and there was no sound.Occasionally, there would be a few dogs barking, proving that this huge Fertile West City is not empty.

A small trading post, surrounded by low earthen walls.There were several empty cars parked in the yard, already covered by thick snow.There are three or two thatched huts, with reed mats as walls to keep out the wind, and a dozen or so big horses are circled inside, looking very handsome.

Hearing the creaking sound, the guard in the gate poked his head out and saw Li Feng wrapped in a leather jacket, heading straight for the courtyard gate.

"Morning (referring to the boss, shopkeeper)!"

"Ok!"

Li Feng nodded subconsciously, staring in the direction of the city gate.

In the evening of the day before yesterday, Li Rui went to the city to deliver the letter.It is said that the convoy passed Nanhe (a tributary of the Yellow River) and was less than forty miles away from the town.There was no snow and no wind yesterday, thinking that it should be here in the near night.But this eye saw the evening of the third day, but still saw no one?

Could it be that he was blocked halfway?
Huangfu asked this bastard to run to pick up the person, but if the person didn't receive the call, he didn't say anything, and he disappeared?

As he was cursing secretly, he suddenly heard a few "jingling" sounds in his ears, which seemed to be caused by the shaking of the bells under the horse's neck.Li Feng's eyes lit up, he walked along the slanting wall, and climbed up to the roof in two or three strokes.

Sure enough...

Although the snow was heavy, the horse team was not far from the warehouse.There was a figure like a bear sitting on the first ride, no doubt it must be Huangfu Rang.

After looking around for a few times, Li Feng noticed something was wrong: there were only a dozen or so riders, it seemed that they were all Huangfu Rang's subordinates?
What about the team?
What about Mr. Lang?
"Where are people?" Li Fengyang asked loudly.

Huangfu got off the horse with his bull's eye turned, and cursed in a low voice as he walked into the guest house: "Mr. scold……"

"Ha ha……"

Li Feng smiled awkwardly, and asked anxiously, "What about the gentleman?"

"I went to Zhongcheng (one of the three towns in Woye Town, where the town's government is located) Liu's Nilv (Inn), and said that I will let you and me see him after dark..."

Still have to wait until nightfall?

Li Feng looked at the sky, anxiously scratching his heart like a cat, "How about Mr. Lang, have you gained weight or lost weight?"

"Is it okay to see you?"

Huangfu Rang complained, "I was driven back by Li Liang when I was still two or three miles away from the car, and he scolded me..."

It seems that Mr. Lang is afraid of revealing the details of Lushui Store and his relationship with him?

You're being reckless...you'll probably be scolded severely.

I can't control that much, I'll talk about it when I see someone...

Li Feng shouted loudly: "Bake me hot soup, grandpa wants to take a bath..."

Won't you freeze to death, you bastard?

Huangfu Rang cursed secretly...

……

Li Chengzhi hurried into the guest house, not even having time to change his clothes. He asked Li Liang to call Liu Han, the head of Liu's firm Yuwoye Town.

Only 20 days have passed since the departure.

Originally, it was not so fast, but when I traveled to Jinming (Shaanxi Ansai), I was about to go to Xiazhou to meet Gao Meng first, and suddenly received an urgent report from Li Feng: Yu entered Woye Township with great fanfare five days ago Yuan Yi suddenly stopped moving.

Don't even know if a person is dead or alive?

What are you really afraid of?
Li Chengzhi didn't know what to say.I can only abandon my car for a horse and travel day and night.

He first went to Huaishuo, which is adjacent to Woye, and he was relieved to see that the army town was as usual, and there was no sign of troop deployment.

It seems that there is something wrong with Woye Town alone...

Now I just hope that there is an accident somewhere, or a misunderstanding.

For example, Yuan Yi was suddenly ill or injured, so he didn't show his face for many days...

But if there really is a shocking change, and the whole town of Woye wants to rebel, then it can only be repaired after a dead sheep.

I can no longer control Yuan Li, Yuan Huai, and Yu Zhong in Liangzhou, nor can I control Cui Zuzhi in Qinzhou and Yu Jing in Bugulu.

Not to mention whether the winter expedition will cause heavy casualties, even if the [-] Chinese army is exhausted, the signs of the Six Towns Rebellion will still be buried in the teeth...
