Chapter 428: Outside Pizhou City
Zhao Jin made a fire and cooked. The women and children just ate cold food halfway through the way. Zhao Ziying was also cold and hungry. The stopping here was a rare supplement.
While eating, Zhao Jin called Qi San and said, "After eating, you set out overnight and go to Yutou Town to ask Sun Jia to mobilize supplies and horses."
"Since someone is watching behind, will Uncle Sun be implicated?" Dong Bingfeng said.
"Let Sun Jia report the name of Zhao's name. As long as we are here, no one dares to touch him." Zhao Jin said coldly.
"Brother, aren't we afraid of being exposed?" Liu Yong couldn't help asking.
"The most important thing now is to return to Xuzhou. The Feng family members should be chasing us from behind now, but they can mobilize too much power in Huai'an Prefecture. If we send a quick horse to send a message to mobilize our forces to intercept it, then we will be in danger.
"Zhao Jin replied.
Last night, the Feng family's team was raided, and those who retreated early and dispersed everywhere would also go out. They might have gone out earlier than Zhao Jin and the others, or maybe a little later, so the time would not be much worse.
They may not have expected that Zhao Jin's team would go in a hurry regardless of their urgency, which disrupted their plans and did not have time to arrange interception or tracking. However, the two sides had about the same time, Zhao Jin and his team were exhausted, and their speed was affected.
The mansion is the territory of the Feng family, and it can mobilize various resources at any time, such as riding horses in good condition.
It can also be seen from the reactions of the spies on the way. At the beginning, they were protruding their heads and then a few people wanted to follow, but they had no skills or experience. But when they passed the Suqian city, professional spies began to target them.
It takes more than half a day to get to Pizhou City at this location, and more than half a day from Pizhou City to Xuzhou. In this journey that is nearly one day and one night, the more dangerous it becomes.
Zhao Jin explained his analysis. All of his friends looked cautious. Even the women and children realized the atmosphere. The women helped life and cook, while the children stayed quietly.
The team was still divided into two halves and took turns to rest. During this period, more than a dozen experienced experts from the world went out of the camp and checked around to see if anyone was touching it.
"The spies are not far from us, maybe they are the people yesterday. They are very alert and are ready to get on the horse and escape as soon as they get closer." The news was quickly fed back.
Zhao Jin sneered on his face and said, "I want to hold my hang without fighting or running. There is no such cheap thing. Take turns to go there. They don't want to sleep this night."
Anyway, every person on duty is riding a horse or sneaking, and there is always time to harass him. If you want to follow him like this, it is impossible to get too far, and you can get there in a few hundred steps in a short time.
However, the four spies were indeed alert and would not sleep this night. They would immediately get on the horse whenever they heard the noise and would leave and come back after a while.
Zhao Jin arranged himself to be near dawn in the second half of the night, and planned to see the sky light in about half an hour. Zhao Jin stopped harassing, but arranged for people to stare from afar, and then took Dong Bingfeng and a few more.
The equestrian is awakened.
The four spies' eyes were covered with blood, and everyone was tense. God knew that this team appeared there. Even the Feng family's horse team dared to take action. They were so arrogant when they ran away, but they dared not have it.
They had seen the ruthlessness of following this group of people at all. Someone returned to the camp last night, but no one was left behind.
They harassed all night long, and they did not dare to fight, for fear that they would not be able to leave if they were entangled. However, the spies were also ruthless, and they would be furious and want you to be nice when they were intercepted.
After a night of hard work, I finally stopped when dawn was approaching. Although I knew there was danger and I knew to be alert, the sudden silence still made people unable to help but doze off. It was useless to remind each other, and the mount was exhausted.
The horses are sweating all over, so they should indeed be relieved.
Just as I was confused and sleepy, the morning light appeared in the east, and then the rushing sound of horse hooves sounded. I thought I would not come again, but I thought I would continue to run away after dawn, but I never thought I would not let this place go.
I hurriedly woke up from my sleepiness and hurriedly got on my horse to escape, but when I woke up, I found that the distance between the two sides was very close.
At this distance, there was a clear idea of riding and archery. The spies even knew that there was a young man with a very strong archery horse. He shot an arrow. A spy who had just gotten on the horse fell down again, and another arrow,
The horseman stood up, and someone was thrown off. The other two ran wildly and ran for dozens of steps. They found that someone was blocking the front, standing there, aiming at the bow and arrow.
Four spies were treated by Yu Jing. Everything was about to be prepared there. The women and children were put on horseback. Their pockets, which were almost deflated, were refilled with Yu grain and forage. Although they were far from full, dozens of horses had already been
The horses that could not run were left to this small village. They could be kept as animals, even if they were lucky.
With a shout, he went on the road again, and ran out for less than half an hour. Someone followed him, and the rest of the night was enough for the other party to mobilize people and inform him along the way, but he couldn't get all the strength of Zhao Jin's team for a while.
Can follow from afar.
Everything is similar to the pre-judgment. Zhao Jin and the others just followed the official road to Pizhou. Suqian and Pizhou were both on the canal. The official road by the canal was spacious and flat, making it particularly convenient to run.
When the sun came out, there were almost a dozen cavalry following behind him. If Zhao Jin and his team wanted to maintain the formation, it would be impossible for the team to run too fast and the ones behind him could keep up.
However, there are also many pedestrians on the road. This line is already a prosperous and prosperous place. Even as the end of the year is approaching, pedestrians and business trips can be seen everywhere. Although they hindered the brigade's actions, the pursuers and spies dare not be unscrupulous.
Everyone looked at Zhao Jin's team with strange eyes, and they flashed to the side of the road in panic, and even cursed a few words. After walking like this for about half an hour, a fast horse came from behind.
Without any concerns about the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road, if there is any obstacle, they will shout "300 miles to speed up."
Seeing the conscience and behavior is the postman who passed the emergency documents by the government. Zhao Jin led the team to dodge aside. The postman was a very skilled man. When he surpassed Zhao Jin, he turned his head and glanced at him, and then he went back.
It's running forward.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so how can I get the official documents that require three hundred miles of speed?" Dong Bingfeng said in wonder.
The Ming Dynasty capital was in Zhili, and wars were mostly caused in the north. The south was relatively peaceful. Even if there were any expedited documents, they were mostly from north to south. Moreover, at this time, all the yamen were already sealed and waiting for the next year.
As the Spring Festival is preparing for, these three hundred miles of documents are a bit strange.
"Snap the road, it's probably because he went to the front to report the news. At least we won't stop him from doing this." Zhao Jin said solemnly.
There was nothing wrong with the road ahead. The team stopped once and let the horses take a break. The spies behind did not increase, and the dozen riders stopped far away.
He set out before dawn and ran for four or five hours. When the sun was west, he arrived outside Pizhou City, about ten miles away from Pizhou City. Qi San was waiting on the side of the road and led the brigade to the agreed place.
Pizhou is prosperous because of the canal diverted. Calculate the time, Qi San should have arrived in Yutou Town around the early morning. Sun Jia and Qi San should have arrived in Pizhou after dawn. In such a short time, they are still ready to provide enough supplies.
In Xuzhou, even if you have money, you may not be able to raise it.
There was such a large area on the side of the road, and pedestrians were looking at each other. Dozens of strong horses with complete horse harnesses were steaming, and the stove was steaming, which emitted the aroma of food. There were also some hard-dough cakes on the side, and a few large stoves were burning.
There was cold boiling water next to it, and dozens of strong men were there. Sun Jia was wearing fur robe and waiting there with a cautious look.
"Eat, change horses, teach these people to change women and children," Zhao Jin shouted loudly, and his subordinates agreed, eating the meal voraciously, and preparing it very well. The food was neither hot nor cold. It was just in the mouth, boiling water and cold water.
Once you mix it, it is very convenient for people to drink and drink horses. Those hard-dough cakes are prepared for horses, and the hard materials can make you strong.
Along the way, more than a dozen horses could not hold on to the force. When they arrived in Pizhou, there were many mounts that could no longer hold on. They had to replace them. They were in good condition and were in a hurry to feed them and remove the things they carried.
Change horse.
There were so many people watching here. Not long after, I saw a man rushing over, but not to Zhao Jin, but to Sun Jia, he walked to Sun Jia and whispered a few words.
.
Sun Jia was stunned and said, "Please come over by your master."
The man was also stunned. Sun Jia patted his chest and said, "Old Sun uses his wealth as a guarantee. Don't your master believe it?"
The Sun Family Trading Company's wealth is really amazing. When Sun Jia said this, the man hesitated and hurried back.
"Huang Meng, the governor of Pizhou, wanted to see me, and asked me to go over secretly. I said I would let him come here, and everyone here is his own people." Sun Jia explained.
The garrison of Pizhou? Zhao Jin gave a few glances to the side, and then sent the order in a low voice. The people who were eating and drinking were gathered together, and the weapons were all handed down, and they were ready. Anyway, there were Suns in other jobs.
A's people are busy.
Not long after, the Huang Guard of Pizhou came on a horse, followed by more than a hundred soldiers, and there were actually ten servants riding horses, which looked quite neat.
Huang Shoujie was forty years old, maybe he was burly back then, but now he was a little fat, wearing armor and swords, and was fully armed. He stopped from afar and looked here. Maybe everyone here was having a meal and resting.
The threat was not great, so he came carefully, and the ten servants followed him all the time.
