Chapter 137 confrontation
The weather became dark in the afternoon, and the cold wind whistled, and snowflakes rolled up in the sky.
Gao Qiong said in surprise: "It's snowing too?"
"General Gao, not only will it snow in Bashu, but also in Hunan, but it is mostly water snow. Unlike the dry snow in the capital, it almost turns into stone powder, and it can kill people."
"I wonder if it will snow in Nanhan?"
"It's rare to see snow there, but if it's in the cold weather, it's still going to fall, it's just rare."
"Jiulang, you should be the best in my dynasty in terms of knowledge."
"Where are some miscellaneous studies, but the classics, history, and collections are not good. Now that I have taught the material and arithmetic, I have put my mind on it, and I have put down the poems of the scriptures and the poems of the scriptures. One day is worse than the other day. The scriptures are the right way. If it doesn't work, how dare I say it is the best?"
"What's the use of the classics?" Gao Qiong said disdainfully.
"General Gao, don't say that it doesn't work. If the army of Bashu and our dynasty is like this, continue to do so. In order to govern the country and to make the country order, we have to use one thing to overcome one thing. The only thing that can overcome martial arts is literature. Supporting literature will be more effective than anything else."
"Support the civil servant?" Gao Qiong laughed.
Song Jiu shook his head.
But Gao Qiong had to say: "If the army is not controlled, it will be really terrible."
"What are the sequelae left by the chaos of the Five Dynasties?" Song Jiu suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.
"Kyuro, there are so many people coming."
"It seems that the two battalions of Zizhou have all arrived."
"When will the people from General Kang's side arrive?"
"I think it's too soon. It's only about a hundred miles in a straight line, and it's less than two hundred miles around the mountain road. However, they have to stay in a stalemate for several days and have to bring some luggage and food. They won't use pack horses as luxuriously as us, so they probably have to delay for a while. It depends on how General Kang thinks. It's okay, let's drag it first."
A large group of soldiers and officials rushed over together.
As soon as he arrived at the bridge, Gao Qiong and ten people stood on the side of the bridge and shouted: "Except for officials and generals, the rest of them should not cross the bridge, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
These are all reasonable rules.
Zizhou transferred the two battalions of imperial guards over. If the court investigated later, it could be said to be protected. However, on the side of Song Jiu, the soldiers of the Feimeng Army were scared. Gao Qiong could understand his approach. After that, Gao Qiong made a gesture, and ten people took down bows and arrows from their backs.
An official came out of the crowd and asked, "Who is the inspector?"
Song Jiu rode a horse to the bridge, looked at the officials opposite him and asked, "Are you the governor Zhao?"
He was Zhao Yanjin, the timid governor of Meizhou. Meizhou was located east of Yazhou where Lu Han's army was stationed, so the court asked Duan Sigong to replace him, Kang Yanze took Puzhou, and Zizhou was a little quiet. Zhao Yanjin was transferred to Zizhou.
This is a timid official.
But there is also an amazing Zhao Yanjin who has some relatives with Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi's first wife was Yin Chongke's eldest sister. Zhao Yanjin defeated Yin Chongke's younger sister. He was in charge of Xiangzhou and was developing Han River water conservancy.
The two have the same surname and the same name, but their talents are very different, just like the brave general Wang Jixun stationed in Hebei. The uncle Wang Jixun also has the same surname and name, but it is also far from being compared with him.
"That's Zhao."
"I am the son of Song Jiu, the son of the founding kingdom, Dr. Xuanyilang, the inspector of the Liangchuan River."
Except for the inspection envoy, this series of official positions may not be scary, but the meaning behind it cannot be ignored. Age, the speed of promotion! Thinking deeper is more complicated. The Hezhou alone links him with dozens of high-ranking schools.
Wang Quanbin's child has joined in. Don't take it seriously. God knows how many benefits Wang Quanbin gets in Bashu, and he still cares about the dividends of thousands of guan. But many people can only say that they are well-off, including the two sons of the Pan Mei family. They have received thousands of guan, which accounts for at least one-quarter of the Pan family's assets. What consequences will happen if something happens? Thinking of this, Zhao Yanjin's forehead sweats.
You can't look at people based on age. Besides, the position of the inspector is fake, and you can't take it seriously. But it's not fun to take it seriously. In the Tang Dynasty, you must be an official of the fifth rank or above, and you are a high-ranking official in the area. After the disaster or some special circumstances, such as the current war, you will be on the emperor's side to the local area, inspect officials, and provide relief to the victims. You will report major matters and decide on small matters. Even if the inspector goes down, you cannot shake the mountains and shock the prefectures and counties, it is to not take up the position. If you give Song Jiu a reason, Song Jiu will be serious again and treat himself as the inspector and kill him on the spot. It is not said that Song Jiu made a mistake. At most, he will go back and get his salary for one or two years, and you will not let him come out in the future.
The timid man thought a lot. When he thought of this, he looked at dozens of corpses opposite him and almost couldn't stand firm. He came to the bridge and said, "I've seen the inspector."
"Where are the magistrates and the commanders of the two battalions?"
Zhao Yanjin turned around and begged to look at several people.
Song Jiu shouted again: "The Central Envoy has come, and he will not come out to greet him. Do you even dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty?"
Several officials and the generals walked out unhappily.
Gao Qiong was still on guard. Song Jiu brought several people to the dead body and said it roughly as he said it.
It is theoretically valid. The fog at night is very high and dark, so Song Jiu arranged it in advance and took the way out. Although this river is not big, it cannot be regarded as a small river. It is still more than 20 steps wide and can barely navigate small cargo ships. If they encounter a hiding situation, they can only retreat to the wooden bridge. The wooden bridge is blocked, and if they want to escape, they can only jump into the river. The river water is cold and turbulent, and the body is frozen, so the water flows into the sky and knows where to rush to.
Shi Zhen, the commander of the Second Battalion, said with a gloomy face: "Inspector, I want to take these dead bodies back to bury them."
"Instructor Shi, no, I have sent someone to report to Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang, General Wang, General Liu, General Cao and Inspection Commissioner Kang. Let's talk about it after Yizhou and Puzhou come down."
Shi Zhen's face became even more gloomy.
Song Jiuqiang endured his disgust and came to Li Liang's body, pointed to his arms, and said, "That's golden sand. For this little golden sand, these soldiers actually pretended to be thieves. They intended to kill hundreds of people in the entire village."
Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer gold sand here. The ones that can be found are broken and small, and the quality is not very good. However, Song Jiu suspected that there must be a gold sand ore at the source, and the output may not be high, but without this ore, the gold sand would have been empty.
I am not very interested in this Song Jiu. I am not copper, iron and coal. I want to make gold. As long as the south recovers, the sea route is opened, and some of my own skills can be used to make a lot of gold back from Dashi Tianzhu every year, rather than this clumsy gold digging method.
Shi Zhen asked again: "Where is that ship?"
"When we were fighting fiercely, the ship owner took two men to run away, and he couldn't catch up with him."
"No one living?"
"No, I reported my official name. The more brutal these people resisted, they actually killed several of my subordinates. It was not until they cleaned the battlefield that they realized that they were my banish soldiers. You are the commanders of Feimeng Camp. Whose subordinates are these?"
"It's my subordinate. But I don't know."
Song Jiu sneered in his heart and said lightly: "That's it, are you stationed here to guard the situation, or are you going back to wait for someone from Yizhou to deal with it?"
"Let's be on guard here."
"Please go back then."
Several people walked back to the other side of the bridge. Ge Ba walked over and whispered: "Jiulang, be careful, that Shi Zhen was not kind-hearted. He kept fanning the flames all the way."
"I understand." Song Jiu looked at the sky. The sky became darker, and the yellow clouds flew. The snowflakes fell tightly. When the north wind blew, Song Jiu couldn't help but shivered.
Camps began to be set up on the other side. No matter what these Song soldiers became, their quality was still there, just like a strict machine, running in precision. Soldiers kept cutting wood and even demolished the winery in the blink of an eye. Someone also built a camp on the wooden bridge and blocked the wooden bridge.
The boss lady ran out of the village and said, "Envoyee, you must stop them."
"Madam, don't worry, I will set up a better restaurant for you before leaving." Song Jiu comforted that it cannot be stopped now. The situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is like a pile of gunpowder, even a little bit of Mars will cause an explosion.
After saying that, Song Jiu came to the village and said to the people: "If reinforcements from Puzhou have not arrived in the evening, you all use the night to escape to the mountains and prepare for refuge in advance."
"The Central Envoy..." an old man said blankly.
"Old Weng, you don't need to ask anything. You are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of something."
There was a chaos in the village, and Song Jiu sighed and walked out. Li Liang said something that was true. With such a high status, Lu Yuqing only dared to kill a major colonel to establish his authority when he came to Yizhou. He did not dare to do too much, and he was so angry that he was afraid of stirring up a rebellion.
It was getting late, and reinforcements seemed to be in the future, and the villages were even more chaotic. Many people were packing their luggage and preparing to escape. However, the tragic weather was still falling!
Song Jiu general Gao Qiong and Ge Ba shouted, saying, "If the reinforcements in Puzhou have not arrived yet, we will not be able to sleep tonight. We are ready to get on the horse at any time and flee from the south bank to Puzhou. There are too many imperial guards on the other side, so we are not enemies."
"These people are too bold."
"Sir Ge, if an army has no military discipline, it will be like this. This is why the imperial guards in many states dare to rebel."
As he was talking, a black line rose from the horizon in the distance. The Chuan cavalry in Puzhou arrived. Song Jiu also said in the letter not to walk from the north bank, as it was expected that the wooden bridge would be blocked, so he deliberately instructed him to come from the south bank trail.
Seeing that the army was about to approach, there was a commotion on the north bank, and Zhao Yanjin and the magistrate were persuading him. Song Jiu shook his head, and in the end the two officials finally calmed the commotion. It was not their persuasion, but the two hundred Sichuan cavalry had arrived almost.
They are all Sichuan horses, small in size and not fast, but this kind of horse has one advantage, it is suitable for running in the mountains and can endure hardships. Two hundred Sichuan cavalrymen all pulled up and stopped, and the leading general shouted: "Instruct Lou Su to meet with the inspector."
The strange surname and strange appearance do not look like Han people, nor do they know whether they are French or Qiang people.
