Chapter 50 Eat him and use him
"This bow is OK. Have dozens of bow strings and buy some Hanyang arrows."
"Brother, how many horses do you want?"
"Five horses, three horses, two horses to ride, and two horses to pick up horses. This beast in Luoyang can be used best, and can be sold if it is not available. If you travel with the Huangzhou Futu, you can ask them to buy beans."
"The Hang-man from Chengdu said he wanted to travel with him, why did he go back to him?"
"I'm just a sucker, I'm eating and drinking on the way!"
The two brothers were about to set off, but Zhuo Yi wanted to follow him, saying that he wanted to see the scenery of Jianghuai and feel the greatness of China.
After hearing this, Zhang Mian felt that he had eaten half of the maggots. As he was thinking, Old Man Zhuo was really not a good thing. He invested five thousand guan and sent a son to stare at him.
However, Zhang Cang felt that Zhuo Honglu might not mean that. The top tycoons are not so stingy. He guessed that Zhuo Yi should have gone to Luoyang to explore the way, and it was probably a casual move with them.
It is not good to reject Zhuo Yi. How could Zhuo’s “silly son” be more eye-catching when walking on the road like this?
Even if there are strong people, who will make things difficult for the bath scrubber? There is no such thing as kidnapping, right? Let the "silly son" of the rich man's family beside him not tied up, and tied up two people to scrubber the bath. How careless the strong man is to do such a thing.
"Huh? I didn't notice it. Is this Zhuo Yi? I thought it was Hang."
Although the two words are mostly explained, these days, it means moving forward, and sailing is actually a ship.
Taking Zhuo Yi's business card, Zhang Mian's eyes rolled, he smiled, took out a charcoal pen and smeared it, and changed the word to Hang.
"We are heading north, don't we have to have a boat? We can eat and live with him."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhang Dalang received a business card and flicked his finger, "Since he said that this business card can be used as a money service, it's better to keep it."
There are many horse teams, carriages and fleets to Huangzhou. This time I took the route to Huanggang County, the capital of Huangzhou. Although I passed by Huangpi County, I would not stop in Huangpi. I went directly to Huanggang for one day and then settled in Huanggang.
In addition to the two Zhang Cang and Zhang Mian brothers, there was also a "Zhuo Yihang" who followed them, and there were also "country party" in Wuhan, a few middle-aged men who seemed honest but actually had powerful weapons.
Zhang Liqing's sons did not follow him because of their eye-catching faces. The one who secretly escorted the heroes of this sect who had retired from the world, and they were of the same age as Zhang Lushui.
Although Zhang Cang suspected that someone was secretly escorting him, he didn't see any flaws. He didn't know that these "old grandpas" had shrunk into the refugees back then, and the strong man could become like he was about to die suddenly on the spot.
If you eat the world of martial arts, you can’t be online. If you look too good, you can die easily. Of course, if you are too ugly, you can die easily. The more ordinary the better, the more unique the better. If you are not recognized by the crowd, you will be the best qualification to eat the world of martial arts.
Like Zhang Cang, Zhang Mian, and "Zhuo Yihang", each with beautiful and handsome appearance, he is almost experienced in the world.
The road from Hanyang to Huangpi was very well built because it was not far away. In addition, the Huangpi County Magistrate Lu Feibai was Zhang De's senior brother, so he naturally got the moon first. After resigning from office, he left many traces.
It is conceivable that the current magistrate of Huangpi County is still consuming the old money left by Lu Feibai.
When passing by Huangpi County, the convoy took another rest, replenished some fodder and refined materials. The handlebar type changed the large animal in the junction of the rest station, and then continued to go on the road.
There is one advantage of this model, that is, it does not harm large animals, it is very expensive to maintain, and cannot be taken advantage of in all prefectures along the road, and it also has a lot of financial resources, which cannot be maintained at all.
But as long as it can be done, the commuting efficiency will be greatly increased and the cattle preservation rate is extremely high, because the road facilities are good, so you don’t have to worry about walking at night.
In fact, Zhang Cang and his friends' "rudder" during this trip was planning to go to Yinshan Pass in the Dabie Mountains today, which had passed Macheng County and reached the junction of Guangzhou and Huangzhou.
After passing Dabie Mountains, no matter how you go, it is easy to get to the Huai River. When you arrive in this area, the population will become denser.
When Wei Zheng was the governor of Jianghuai, he was engaged in "governance by inaction", which also made Jianghuai have a lot of interactions with Wuhan in the area. Shenzhou and Guangzhou now have a commuter road.
After Yinshan Pass passed, Yincheng County also had an official road that opened the water to Dingcheng, Guangzhou.
When you reach this point, you will reach the bank of the Huai River and go to the Huai River to fish, which is just a one-step journey.
But it is difficult to walk on the Dabie Mountains, and this is difficult to lie in this section. No matter what kind of peaceful and prosperous times or the end of troubled times, there are countless "heroes" waiting for opening between Maoshanling.
The bandit tradition in the entire region, even if it lasts for more than a thousand years, will have to change the day and go through stronger and stronger suppression to completely clean up.
So in fact, people from Jingchu went north and rarely took this path, but either went to Xiangzhou or Yangzhou a little further away.
Therefore, the "rudder" also told the members of the journey that if you don't leave Macheng at night, if you have enough time, then the troops stationed in Yinshan Pass will rest for a night; if you don't have enough time, then you will shrink from Macheng County and wait until dawn to pass.
In the past, I only heard in Wuhan that there were bandits everywhere in Dabie Mountains. After hearing this situation, Zhang Cang and Zhang Mian regretted it. As for the "stupid son" of the rich man's family... they were already confused and wondered why he came to Jianghuai for excitement?
But I just couldn't get angry. After all, there was nothing to do with two bath scrubbers. They didn't know what to do, so they could only do this.
"Brother, didn't you say that all the bandits in the Dabie Mountains were wiped out?"
Zhang Mian was a little surprised, so he asked Zhang Cang.
"Yes, it was indeed wiped out. But the bandits in Dabie Mountains are different from other places, and they are banditry skills for many lifetimes. This world has always been half-people and half-bandits. They serve the people when they are busy and bandits in their spare time. There are two incomes in the year. However, there is one good thing about bandits here, and few people are tearing up their votes. After all,... they are asking for money."
While speaking, Zhang Cang touched a crossbow and handed it to Zhang Mian, "Hide it, throw it away when you arrive at Yinshan Pass."
"I have a small bow, so let's go for this matter."
"You know a bird. After passing Huanggang County, the mountains and rivers overlap, and there are more forests. This thing is close to you and is more affordable than bows and arrows."
When I set off, in addition to buying horses, I also bought wind and fire sticks and shanks. They were not controlled knives, and I was used to it along the way. Most of the people who go to the single gang have this configuration.
"Don't panic when encountering strong people. We have many arrows and five horses. If we can't beat them, we can't run away. The Huangzhou Taoist practice is not bad. If we really rush, it will not be a problem to rush to Yinshan Pass in one breath."
"I have seen bandit suppression, so I won't panic. Besides, isn't Zhuo Yihang still there? If I really can't escape, I'll say that he invited a specialist to scrub the bath and sold his identity as a little rich man in Zhuo."
"Hey...good boy, he's really smart."
The two brothers laughed secretly, wondering whether they would run away home, but when they saw that they were not in front of the village and behind the village, they also wanted some face, so they gritted their teeth and continued to pretend.
