Han ride

Chapter 162
The next day, I saw a caravan leaving Guihua City and heading towards Zhangjiakou. This caravan was dressed in special products on the grassland, and it looked no different from normal caravans. However, only Li Xin's army Only then did the senior management understand that Li Xin was in this caravan.

"Zhang Wu, have you been to the Central Plains before?" In the caravan, a young man dressed as a scholar asked the warrior beside him with a smile.

"Return to the lord, if you return to the son, the subordinates are from Hangzhou." Zhang Wu said quickly.

"Oh, you are from Hangzhou! What a coincidence." Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he said, "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Suzhou and Hangzhou are picturesque places!"

"Hey, my lord, I didn't find any beautiful places in Hangzhou." Zhang Wu rubbed his head and said, "When I was young, I couldn't even eat enough, so how could I notice any interesting places in Hangzhou. "

"Well, eating is the most important thing." Li Xin nodded and said, "Don't worry, we're going to Suzhou this time, and if we have a chance, we'll also go to Hangzhou, to see your hometown."

"Mr. Xie." Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he said, "This subordinate hasn't been home for a long time. This time I just go home and have a look."

"Home, yes, I haven't been home for a long time. It's a pity." Li's confidence moved, and finally he said with a deep sigh.

"My lord, look, there is Zhangjiakou in front of you." At this time, Zhang Wushun pointed, but saw a tall city wall appearing in front of Li Xin in the distance.

"Go, go in, tell the brothers, after entering Zhangjiakou, spread out, and at noon, we will meet at the south gate." Li Xin instructed Zhang Wu.

"Yes." Zhang Wu didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered the dozens of guards accompanying him not to mention it.

But at this moment, on the tower of Zhangjiakou, Hou Gongji and others are leading a group of men, looking at the grassland in the distance, looking anxious, as if they are looking for something.

"Father, is there still an error in the intelligence? I'm afraid Li Xin will not go to the Central Plains." After waiting for a long time, Hou Gongji finally became impatient, turned around and entered the enemy building, and saw Hou Shilu sitting there , looking carefully at the military book.

"No, if Li Xin abandons his unmarried wife, how will the world see him? What's more, I heard that the reason why Li Xin is today is mostly due to the merits of his dead father-in-law. If you don’t repay your kindness, you will be spurned by others. Li Xin is the leader of the Yanhuang Tribe. If he is an ungrateful person, wouldn’t he be afraid that his subordinates will rebel? So Li Xin will definitely enter the Central Plains. Even if it’s just a show, it’s fine.”

"Father, what should we do? Do we need to disclose Li Xin's whereabouts?" Hou Gongji nodded and asked.

"Stupid." Hou Shilu's complexion changed, he smashed the military book in his hand on the table, glared at Hou Gongji, and said, "Think about it with your brain, is Li Xin's [-] troops vegetarian? If the news about Xin is revealed, then Li Xin's subordinates will raise an army to force Zhangjiakou, and when the time comes, our lives will be in danger."

"But this Li Xin?" Hou Gong asked with some embarrassment.

"Let's not talk about Li Xin's merits, just talk about his soldiers and horses. This is the biggest trump card, and only a fool like Zhou Yanru would do such a thing." Hou Shilu's mouth showed a hint of disdain. , sneered and said: "Even if Li Xin is killed, what if his [-] troops all of a sudden join Jiannu and approach the city, I am afraid that the emperor will kill Zhou Yanru in the end to vent public anger. What's more, Li Xin is a general, and you and I are also generals. His Majesty the Emperor listened to the slander and wanted to send Li Xin's family members to the capital as hostages. Even if Li Xin holds a hundred thousand elites, how many soldiers and horses do you and I have? This time it is Li Xin. Next time it will be you and my father and son. Why, are you willing to send your wife, old and young, to the capital as a hostage?"

"Of course not." Hou Gong shook his head without even thinking about it. This person is selfish. It is natural to fight for the country. It is also the duty of a general to serve the country loyally. If you put him as a hostage in the capital, then you don't want to.Even the Hou family father and son are the same.

"This time it seems to be against Li Xin, but in fact, those civil servants are planning to deal with our generals again. Hmph, I, Hou Shilu, am not stupid, how could I help these guys." Hou Shilu said without thinking.

If Min Hongxue was here, he would definitely appreciate Wen Tiren greatly. As Wen Tiren guessed, Zhou Yanru's actions made the generals secretly dissatisfied.

"Then father is here?" Hou Gong asked curiously.

"This old man wants to meet Li Xin and see if he will really come." Hou Shilu shook his head, his voice full of complexity, and said: "If Li Xin comes, then he is a hero, if he comes Later, he will be Xiongxiong, if he doesn't come, then he won't have any achievements in the future."

"When does father think he will come?" Hou Gongji was extremely confused, but still asked curiously.

"I'll come today." Hou Shilu said without thinking.

"Oh!" Hou Gongji was about to ask, but saw his father looking into the distance curiously. Hou Gongji looked pleasingly, but saw a caravan slowly approaching from a distance.

"He's here." A smile appeared on Hou Shilu's face.

, "How does father know?" Hou Gong was a little strange.No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see Li Xin among the business travelers.Ordinary herdsmen dressed up, carrying a lot of fur horses and other goods, no different from the previous caravans.

"Stupid, didn't you see there was a scholar inside?" Hou Shilu snorted coldly: "It seems that this group of merchants are mainly herdsmen, with goods and guards, but don't forget, now Guihua City is hundreds of miles around, and there are no horse bandits, so these guards don't need to exist at all, and you don't see that scholar, although there are many Han people on the grassland, there are not many scholars , the scholar of the big family is gone, but although this scholar looks handsome, but his face is resolute, and there are dozens of guards around him, don't you feel surprised?"

"Father said that scholar is Li Xin! Hey! I've met this man before. He once came to Zhangjiakou, and his name is Mu Zixin." Hou Gongji exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the approaching caravan.

"Idiot, Mu Zixin is Li Xin." Hou Shilu patted the back of his son's head fiercely when he heard the words, and sighed: "What a powerful character. He actually ventured into Zhangjiakou. He is a character. It's a pity that such a Characters, but arouse the jealousy of the court, they can't fight side by side!"

"Father, what should we do now?" Hou Gongji asked nervously as Li Xin's caravan was approaching the city gate.

"Don't bother them, just let them go!" Hou Shilu thought for a while, finally his eyes fell on his son, he sighed, and said, "Come on, let's wait at the south gate, the old man wants to see Li Xin."

"Father wants to see Li Xin?" Hou Gong asked in surprise.

"This person will deal with my Xuanfu in the next few years. How come I don't see him." Hou Shilu sighed: "Our Hou family father and son have been in Xuanfu for so many years. It is our responsibility to guard this inch of land. It is our responsibility to protect the environment and the people. With Li Xin as a powerful neighbor, why should we not establish a good relationship? Let’s go! After they rest in Zhangjiakou for a while, they will definitely leave the south gate. Just seeing each other last time, it can be regarded as a good relationship."

"Yes." Hou Gongji saw that his father had already left the door, so he naturally followed, and the father and son went down the tower like this, and headed for the south gate.

"My lord, the defense here is really weak. Just give me 1000 people and I can take it down." Zhang Wu glanced around, and finally shook his head and sighed.

"This is because I, Li Xin, was a guerrilla general in the Ming Dynasty, and I would not rebel against the court. Within hundreds of miles, there are all cavalry from our army. There are no horse bandits, and there are no people from other races. That's why they are like this. Easy." Li Xin shook his head and said, "I came to Zhangjiakou with Gao Meng last time, and the defenses were very strict. Don't say give you 1000 people, even if you give you 1 people, you can't be shaken. Let's go! Huh. What? No inspection." Li Xin was talking, but found that the soldiers guarding the gate of the city didn't even look at his caravan, and let it go.

"No way! Young Master, are you so slack?" Zhang Wu exclaimed in surprise. He touched the money in his bosom. The money here was originally used to manage these soldiers so that he could wait for others to pass by.We must know that when Li Xin went south to the Central Plains, he not only had guards, but also had weapons with him.This kind of entry and exit of the city gate is naturally very troublesome.These need to be managed with money, but I didn't expect that these defensive soldiers didn't even look at them, so they let themselves wait for someone to pass by.

"Go, hand over the money to the general manager." Li Xin glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on the general manager.Said softly to Zhang Wu.No matter what the reason is, the rules that should be given still have to be given. What's more, Li Xin doesn't care about the more than a hundred taels of silver, but if he can get through a gate of the gate, it will always be worth it , Little people also have the role of little people, who knows if they will have the opportunity to use this kind of relationship in the future!

Sure enough, when Zhang Wu pretended to inadvertently stuff the bag of silver into the boss, his eyes lit up, he glanced at the crowd, cupped his hands and said: "The villain Wang Shunsheng has met the son, and the son is on his way. "

"Thank you, General." Li Xin also nodded.Although it was only a short sentence, it let Li Xin know two pieces of news. The first is that not only he, Wang Shunsheng, recognized him, but also other people recognized him; will speak out.Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to talk about.

"Please, sir." Wang Shunsheng cupped his hands towards Li Xin, and waved to the surrounding soldiers. These soldiers hurriedly drove away the surrounding people so that Li Xin could pass.
