After entering Nanxunmen, Sun Wulang and Qingtou stood beside the car, looking at the scene outside and couldn't help but marvel. How had the two children, who had left the village for the first time, ever seen such a prosperous scene?
Pan Sanlang yawned. Along the way, two children who knew nothing about the world were together, not to mention how boring it was. I am a well-informed person, not a ignorant ignorant woman in the countryside. How can I talk to my children about it?
After entering the city, we turned west and walked for a long time. After crossing the Cai River, it gradually became desolate.
Sun Wulang said: "It is said that the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, but now it seems that it is also such a desolate place."
Pan Sanniang, who was sitting in the back, said: "What do you know! If we say that in the past, the capital city was naturally prosperous. Now it has suffered from repeated military disasters, how can it be the same as before? These places became like this because the people fled."
Sun Wulang and Qingtou couldn't even explain what the military disaster was. However, I have been hearing people say it these days, and I roughly understand that it means the same thing as after my own village was attacked by the Jin Army. My own village used to be very prosperous, but now it is deserted.
While they were marching, a group of people suddenly rushed out and blocked the way. A big man stood in front of the grain transport team with a knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Go and call your leader out!"
Wang Xiaolie, who was behind, heard this and urged his horse to come to the front of the team. It looked like a group of rebels, about 300 people, but I didn't recognize them.
Holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, Wang Xiaolie asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you stopping here?"
The man said: "Zhang Yong, the commander of the Sa family, was ordered by De Zong to stay behind and lead the army to guard the city of Kaifeng. Now the army is short of food. I heard that the people from Xiaoshe bought food and came back to borrow some."
Wang Xiaolie said: "There is food in the southern states, but the water transportation is blocked and it is difficult to transport it to Kaifeng. If you are short of food, you can go to the southern state army to buy food like me. Now that the Jin soldiers are retreating north, there are still many people on the road. Peace.”
Zhang Yong laughed loudly after hearing this: "What did Xiaoshe say! We are all serving as soldiers to eat food. You brought the food here, why should I go again!"
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie looked at Zhang Yong, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If you don't go, there will be no food. Zhang Tongzhi, if you forcefully rob, we will have a fight here! It depends on your appearance, if you don't want to fight, After one scene, I felt dissatisfied in the end!”
Seeing Wang Xiaolie speaking so straightforwardly, Zhang Yong didn't know what to say for a moment. Currently among all the armies in Kaifeng City, Wang Xiaolie has only six to seven hundred men, making him the weakest. I originally thought that if I had a lot of people on my own, maybe Wang Xiaolie would calm down the trouble and ask for some food. Now Wang Xiao is not willing to give him a shot, and he has promised to fight, but Zhang Yong doesn't have the courage.
After a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "In the city of Kaifeng, the commander-in-chief and his troops openly blocked the road and did not take Liubei seriously. What does that mean? Since you won't give way, I have no choice but to send people to Liubei Mansion. Please deal with Liubei." .”
Zhang Yong said: "So what if we stay behind? If we want troops to defend the city, we must give them food! I am here to ask for some food, who dares to say anything!"
Wang Xiaolie said coldly: "In that case, the commander must fight with me. Well, since I entered Kaifeng City, I have always been kind to others. Do you think you are weak and easy to bully?!"
After speaking, he gave a sharp shout and ordered the porters to put down their burdens and retreat behind the soldiers. One hundred soldiers, ready to form a formation.
Zhang Yong was startled, but he didn't expect to hit Wang Xiaolie as soon as he said so. This is someone who has defeated the Jin Army. If they really fight, can they beat themselves?
Zhang Jun in the crowd was already agitated. After finally arriving in the capital, I saw how busy the streets were and wanted to enjoy it. Unexpectedly, Zhang ran out and used this to catch the bird, blocking the way, but he didn't dare to fight, so he was wasted here.
Wang Xiaolie's military commander ordered the porters to put down the grain and go behind the soldiers. Zhang Jun was at the front of the team. He took off his pole and said, "It's really unlucky! Where in the capital? There are people who dare to block the road and grab food! They dare to fight but don't dare to fight, and they refuse to give in. What a bunch of birds!"
Zhang Yong, who was in embarrassment, heard this, pointed his knife, and said sternly: "Straight bitch, what are you talking about!"
After hearing this, Zhang Jun looked up and saw Zhang Yong pointing a knife at him and forcing him to come forward. He couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa said you are useless! You are blocking the road and you don't dare to fight. You are just making people laugh here! Now that you are here, Grandpa will fight you!"
After saying that, he strode up with a pole in hand and met Zhang Yong who was walking over.
Zhang Yong couldn't help but get angry. He didn't dare to confront Wang Xiaoliefang because he had defeated the Jin army before and didn't dare to get into trouble easily. I didn't expect that a porter would dare to be disrespectful to me. Now that he's here, let's use him to establish his power.
Raising his hand, Zhang slashed at him with a knife.
Zhang Jun was not afraid at all. He held the pole in his hand and faced the direction of the knife. The two intersect, and the knife cuts into the shoulder pole.
Zhang Jun shouted loudly. As soon as the shoulder pole was twisted, the knife belt used by Zhang almost flew out. Zhang Yong was so frightened that he quickly backed away.
Zhang Jun refused to spare him. He strode forward and threw the pole at his waist. Zhang Yong blocked it with his knife, then took a step back hastily. Unexpectedly, the shoulder pole was too strong, so I couldn't completely avoid it. I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Wang Xiaolie saw it from the side and said loudly: "How can you beat Zhang Tongzhi at will when he is holding a knife? The porters in front of you, stop it quickly!"
Zhang Jun was about to step forward, but he saw Zhang Yong's subordinates coming up from behind with swords in hand. Just when Wang Xiao shouted, he took away the pole and hurried back. When Wang Xiao hunted his horse, he crossed his hands and said, "In broad daylight, this thief actually blocked the road! I didn't listen to the general's order and stepped forward to fight with him. General, don't blame me!"
Wang Xiaolie had no expression on his face and nodded slightly. He said to Zhang Yong: "Stop making trouble here, lead your troops and leave quickly! One porter in our army beat you to the point where you can't fight back. Do you want to make it even more embarrassing?"
Zhang Yong's face turned red and he didn't know what to say. As the leader of the army, Zhang Yong must be able to fight. If he can't fight, he won't be able to sit in the position he is today. However, it is also true that a porter in Wang Xiao's hunting army beat him until he was unable to fight back.
Is it possible that Wang Xiaolie's army is so powerful? So, which other army in Kaifeng is his opponent? Thinking of this, Zhang Yong didn't know what to do for a while. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to just quit?
Wang Xiaolie watched with cold eyes, somewhat understanding why there were so many troops in Kaifeng City at this time, but only a few of them actually accomplished great things in history. Most people are actually the same as Zhang Yong. Maybe there is some courage, maybe there is some power, and they take advantage of the situation and become the leader of a party. When society is in turmoil, they can also become heroes. When society slowly calms down and faces real heroes, they are no match for them. At this time, most of the troops in Kaifeng City who really became popular later were not famous except for Wang Yan and Kong Yanwei.
It's not surprising that Zhang used to block the road today to ask for food. Most of the troops in the city were short of food. But firstly, there weren't many people to take with him, and secondly, Wang Xiaolie didn't give him anything, so he didn't know what to do. Aren't you here to embarrass yourself like this? It was so easy for someone to rob the grain, so why did Wang Xiaolie go to Caizhou to buy grain? The grain has been bought, but there is no way to take it away without seeing blood.
Seeing that Zhang Yong was still hesitating, Wang Xiaolie said sharply: "Get in formation! Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers promised together. A hundred soldiers formed a formation, with swords and guns shining in front, and rushed towards Zhang Yong.
