After leaving Suizhou, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen traveled together. On the sixth day, they finally arrived in Tangzhou.

The two entered the inn, changed their casual clothes, and let out a breath. Hu Jiaoxiu said to Zheng Chen: "After rushing through the past few days, our whole body seemed to be disbanded. Let's go out to find a restaurant, drink a glass of wine, and go

Go and be exhausted.”

Zheng Chen agreed and left the station with Hu Jiaoxiu.

Under Wang Xiaoli, the society was stable and there was no messy thing like other places. The two came out, without taking their followers, and wandered along the street. Not far away, Hu Jiaoxiu said: "Strange, Tangzhou is not a big deal, why is it like this on the street?

Many people? Along the way, no place is so prosperous."

Zheng Chen said: "Yes, it's a bit strange."

As the two of them talked, they saw the sign of a "river restaurant" on the street, with colorful buildings outside, which was extremely gorgeous. Hu Jiaoxiu said: "People who have been to Xiangyang said that Wang Jieshuai's rule under this river

The restaurant in the Bian is excellent. The wine inside tastes mellow and the dishes are exquisite. I didn’t expect that there are also here in Tangzhou.”

Zheng Chen said: "Yes, let's go in and take a look."

The two of them had just walked to the entrance of the restaurant, and a servant came up and greeted him warmly.

Let the servant lead himself to the pavilion on the second floor, Hu Jiaoxiu said: "This guy, ask something. We are foreigners. We just arrived in Tangzhou and saw a crowd of people on the street, which was not the same.

Place. Speaking of Tangzhou is not a big place, why are there so many people suddenly?”

The servant smiled and said, "The guest officials must have come from a distance, and I don't know what we are doing here. This year, the commander led the army to the north to fight, and needed food and grass. Our Tangzhou is where the food and grass go north to transport. The southern states and counties such as Suizhou and Xiangyang are located.

, grain, grass and other goods were transported to Tangzhou and transferred from here to Ruzhou. There were also many people who transported grain to the north!"

Hu Jiaoxue nodded: "So that's it! Thank you!"

The servant hurriedly said that he didn't dare to leave and went out.

Hu Jiaoxue told Zheng Chen: "Wang Xiaoliu is indeed different from other places, everything is in order. A few places did not transport grain along the way? But there was no other organized thing like Wang Xiaoliu governing prefectures and counties.

.”

Zheng Chen said: "It's true. It's true. If you don't manage the local area well, how can you have a 100,000 army in the north expedition?"

After a while, the servant came up with food and drinks, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen were drinking and talking, discussing their experiences on the way.

The two set out from Lin'an Prefecture, and the Chizhou and Jiangzhou that they passed by on the road were all broken by Li Cheng, which was quite broken. Fortunately, Zhang Jun led Yue Fei's troops to drive away Li Cheng, and the road was quite calm. When he arrived in Ezhou, Kong Yanzhou was domineering, and the two were

I suffered a lot of difficulties. When I arrived at De'an Prefecture, Chen Gui's rule was still stable, but the atmosphere was quite tense just to prevent Kong Yanzhou. It was not until I entered Suizhou and under Wang Xiaoli that the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

After talking for a while, Hu Jiaoxiu sighed: "Now in this world, the place under Wang Jieshuai's rule can be considered as a prosperous country and a safe country, just like in the sky."

After leaving the "Riverside Restaurant", the sun has been slanted. The streets are still crowded, making it very lively.

The prefect Xie Hongde received the news and waited in the inn. Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen came back and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

After talking about some miscellaneous things, Hu Jiaoxiu said: "The magistrate, don't know what the war on the front line is like? We came from Suizhou and were worried along the way!"

Xie Hongde said: "This time the Jin army invaded Xijing, there were three routes. The northern route was Wanyan and Yan Ying as the commander, leading three thousand Jin troops, and wanted to go south to help Liu Lin's army. As a result, in Shenshan County, he was intercepted by Jin and Jiang Min.

.In just a few hours, Jiang Min used 1,300 people to wipe out the three thousand Jin troops! Unfortunately, Wanyan Qiying had a great life and escaped!"

Hu Jiaoxiu was shocked when he heard this. He had fought with the Jin army for five or six years. When did he hear that he had wiped out the three thousand Jin troops in one battle? He asked hurriedly: "What kind of character is this Jiang Min? He is so powerful, why haven't he heard of it before.

Pass?"

Xie Hongde said: "Jiang Min was an ordinary farmer boy. After Jingkang, she lived in Tangzhou and met Jieshuai by chance. Jieshuai saw him smart and took him by his side. Last year, she was sent to Hedong Road and occupied a county in Shenshan. This year she made great contributions!"

"So that's it!" Hu Jiaoxiu suddenly realized. "If you can be brought by Jishuai, you must be no ordinary person!"

Jiang Min is naturally silent and does not attract attention when she was in Xiangyang. Xie Hongde didn't know what kind of person he was. It was just that in the recent battle, Jiang Min fought the first victory, and suddenly everyone knew about him.

Name. Jiang Min has been with Wang Xiaoli for many years. The officials were embarrassed to say that they didn't pay attention to him. When they asked, they looked like they knew it, but in fact they couldn't tell the reason.

Zheng Chen said: "The magistrate said that the Jin army was divided into three groups, but I don't know what the other two groups are?"

Xie Hongde said: "Jiang Min won a great victory on Hedong Road, and the other two roads suddenly became cautious. Liu Lin led 30,000 people on the east road, but when he arrived at Zhongmu, he was stuck. Balisu on the west road was stationed in Shanzhou, and Zheng Jianchong was in Hucheng.

Zhe Keqiu is still on the road and is also watching there."

"Oh——" Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen looked at each other and spoke in a grand manner. According to Xie Hongde's words, Wang Xiaoliu was not at a disadvantage, and the war was still in a stalemate. For so many years, except for the Sichuan-Shu frontline, the Song army still had the first place.

It is really a pleasure to be able to stalemate with the Jin army once.

After hearing about the 100,000 Jin army attacking Luoyang in Suizhou, Hu Jiaoxiu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. What does the concept of a 100,000 army? When the Jin army broke through Kaifeng Prefecture, it was only 80,000. Now, the 100,000 Jin army comes.

, What can Wang Xiaoli use to block it? Now I know that the Jin army is only 20,000 to 30,000, and the rest are all surrendered soldiers. Although the surrendered soldiers are also troops, they are far inferior to the Jin army.

Having used wine and rice at the "River Bar Restaurant", Hu Jiaoxiu politely declined Xie Hongde's wine and went to bed early with Zheng Chen and set off the morning of the next morning.

Before the sun rose in the morning, Hu Jiaoxiu and Chen Chen left the city. He saw that the road to the north was lined up with unicycle cars, like a long dragon, and could not see at first sight. Every distance, the car was standing next to it.

A big flag said "A certain prefecture and county" on it.

Hu Jiaoxiu couldn't help but be surprised. He had lived for decades and had never seen such a scene. He stopped the team and looked around. He saw a man who looked like an official standing beside the car and ordered his followers to call him over.

The man arrived in front of Hu Jiao’s horse repair and hurriedly bowed.

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "My surname is Hu, my name is Jiaoxiu. I am a Hanlin scholar. I am a master of imperial edicts and came to Xijing with the imperial edict. What is the reason for so many cars here?"

The man said, "In Xia Wenxiang, now the chief clerk of Tongbai. The cars here transport food and grass to the north, and are arranged according to prefectures and counties and walk in a unified manner. Every time they leave, the magistrate of the nearby prefectures leads the team, and the county is the main one.

The book is the bookkeeper in the village. The bookkeeper is in charge of the bookkeeper, and the bookkeeper is in charge of the people and cars in the village and proceeds according to the orders of the Tongzong. Today, the team led by Zhuang Gaofu, the Tongzong of Xinyang Army, is preparing to go to Fangcheng County."

Hu Jiaoxiu said to Zheng Chen beside him: "I have never seen anyone transporting food and grass like this before. Wang Xiaoli is doing things here carefully."

Let Wen Xiang go back, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen waited aside.

Not much time passed, I heard a sharp whistle. With the whistle, a big flag in front swayed rapidly, especially in the morning sun. The coachman on the road heard the whistle and saw the flag swaying, and prepared,

Holding the handlebars.

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "It's like marching and fighting, Tangzhou is really not simple!"

Zheng Chen said: "Bachelor, this is a war! The army ahead lacks food and grass, how can we fight?"

"Yes, this is just a war!" Hu Jiaoxue murmured. "There are also wars in other places, why have you never seen such a thing? From Suizhou to here, I saw Wang Jieshuai's rule transporting grain and other places

Different. The people handed over the grain to the village, and transported it into the county town, and then transported it to the prefecture town, and then transported it to the Tangzhou area. The coachman here, I heard that it was hired by them.

There are people in every county in the state. I want to come to Qianfangfang City, which looks different."

Zheng Chen nodded, looked at the coachman who could not see at first sight, and could not speak for a moment.

This is the organizational ability. In the face of war, Wang Xiaolie can organize all the people under his rule, which is incomparable to other places. Each prefecture and county transports grain and grass to distribution centers like Tangzhou, and then transports them to Fangcheng by wheelbarrows.

.At Fangcheng, there was a special transportation force, which was unified across the mountains and transported to Ye County. Later, the transportation team organized by Ruzhou transported the grain and grass to Ruzhou. When he arrived in Ruzhou, the army's baggage force took over and was no longer
