There are poems: Mo Daojun travels early, and there are more early pedestrians ranwena'com due to backward traffic conditions, there is no guaranteed public security environment, so the ancients like to go out early, set off before dawn, and must stay in the hotel before the sun goes down.

As a traverser, Xu Jin really hates getting up early in the morning to hurry, especially in the cold winter, it is undoubtedly extremely painful to get up from the warm quilt before dawn.

So now as long as there is no urgency, Xu Jin will sleep until dawn before getting up, and the same is true today, Governor Xu slept until dawn in Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture, and then Shi Shiran got up to freshen up and eat breakfast, and left Pinghu County at almost nine o'clock in the morning and set off for Zhihuating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

It is said that Xu Jin left Hangzhou City on the fifth day of the first month of winter, in addition to one hundred Jinyi guards and fifty personal soldiers, there were also five hundred guards of Hangzhou guards to escort him, and when he left Pinghu County today, the magistrate was for the sake of the safety of the governor, so he sent three hundred archers from the inspection department to escort him, so the total strength was about 1,000.

In this way, the group marched unhurriedly along the official road to the northeast, and did not enter the territory of Songjiang Prefecture until noon. Today's weather is fine, the sun is shining in the sky, the heavy snow a few days ago has long since melted away, and the dry and cold north wind is blowing head-on, only to feel the wrinkled and uncomfortable face.

The withered grass beside the road is yellow, and after the dew on the blades of grass is dried, the wind rustles, and it is estimated that a little spark can turn into a prairie fire.

Xu Jin is still dressed as a writer today, wearing a set of jade-colored robes and a square scarf, with a calm and elegant temperament. Originally, Lai Yi brought him a set of the emperor's royal tin costumes, but Xu Jin really didn't like to wear that big red crown suit, it was too conspicuous, if he went to the battlefield, he would be a live target in the eyes of others.

At this time, Xu Jin took out his pocket watch and took a look, and found that it was already past twelve o'clock, so he ordered to rest on the spot and eat some dry food.

Zhao Datou, the captain of the pro-soldiers, walked over with rice crackers and said: "Dashuai, five miles further forward is the Wild Boar Pass, I just heard the report of the brother who explored the way, the road in this place is narrow, and there are lush slopes on both sides, it is a good place for ambushes, should we take a detour?" ”

Although the thieves are already grasshoppers after the autumn, but when it comes to the safety of the marshal, Zhao Datou is still quite cautious, not only sending several horse scouts to explore the way in front of him, but also trying to detour when he encounters uncertain places.

"Big eyes!" Xu Jin just called, and Song Dayan immediately understood, took out a marching map from his bag and handed it over.

Xu Jin opened the map and looked at it, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, because according to the map, if you want to bypass the wild boar pass, you have to go around a big circle, then you have to walk thirty or forty miles, so it is estimated that you will not be able to reach Huating County before dark, so he said decisively: "Go the same way." ”

Zhao Datou nodded when he heard this, in fact, he didn't really want to take a detour, he really had to take a lot of unjust roads to take a detour, although the wild boar pass was dangerous, but it didn't hurt to be careful. So, after resting for half an hour, the group set off again to continue their journey, and traveled several miles along the official road, and the wild boar col was already in sight.

The wild boar col in front of you is in the shape of an "S", about a kilometer long, and there are grassy slopes on both sides, and the official road is sandwiched between the two slopes, and there is no room for stretching. Xu Jin Gao was on horseback, and observed the wild boar pass with clairvoyance for a while, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, as a commander who had experienced a hundred battles, he naturally saw at a glance that this was a good place to ambush.

"Big head, send a few brothers to the hillside to make a careful search." When Xu Jin saw the terrain of the wild boar pass, he faintly felt uneasy in his heart, and in order to avoid capsizing in the gutter, he decisively ordered the mountain to be searched.

However, at this moment, three fast horses rushed out from the direction of the wild boar pass, and the front and rear horses were both scouts of the five hundred battalions, and the middle rider was clearly a young man dressed as a scholar.

Zhao Datou couldn't help but sigh lightly, he sent a total of three brothers to the front to explore the way, and now he actually came back with two horses, and also held a scholar hostage, it seems that there is a situation, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal the team to stop advancing.

Soon, three fast horses galloped to the front of the team, and immediately the three of them dismounted and hurried to Xu Jin's horse, and the two five hundred battalion scouts landed on one knee and reported loudly: "Dashuai, I met this scholar on the road, and he said that there was an ambush in the wild boar pass. ”

Xu Jin fixed his eyes and blurted out in surprise: "You are Xu Jie...... Xu Zisheng! ”

Xu Jin was invited by Fei Maoxian to participate in the cultural meeting at the beginning of this year, and he saw Xu Jie's side that time, and Xu Jin naturally paid special attention to this famous future cabinet chief, so he recognized it at a glance at this moment.

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Xu Jin to say his name when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but be a little flattered, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Xu Jie, Huating County, see Lord Governor." ”

Although Xu Jie is very famous in history, the official is the first assistant of the cabinet, and even the traitor Yan Song was defeated by him, but at this time Xu Jie is still just a new science and technology scholar, and he has never really entered the officialdom.

Xu Jin turned over and dismounted, and said politely: "Zisheng doesn't need to be polite, how did you know that there was an ambush in the wild boar pass?" ”

Xu Jie hurriedly told him how he rescued Wang Lushu, and after hearing this, Xu Jin's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he secretly screamed that it was dangerous. Zhao Datou and Han Dajie were also shocked, and the latter hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it is better for us to quickly withdraw to Pinghu County." ”

Zhao Datou nodded solemnly and agreed: "Great handsome, the combat power of the Japanese is strong, if the other party has a thousand people, we will definitely not be able to defeat this little person, so let's withdraw." ”

Xu Jin quickly calmed down at this time, glanced at the wild boar col in the distance, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We can't withdraw!" ”

Zhao Datou scratched his head anxiously when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Xu Jie's heart moved, and he nodded: "Lord Xu is right, now we really can't retreat, we can see the wild boar col at this time, and the thieves in the boar col can naturally see us, if we turn around and retreat, the thieves will definitely realize that they have been exposed, and they will inevitably bite their tails and chase them over, so we will be more passive." ”

Zhao Datou slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Yes, why didn't Lao Tzu expect this layer." ”

Xu Jin glanced at Xu Jie in surprise, this person who is worthy of defeating Yan Song in the future, his political skills must not be said, and now it seems that his brain is also very good.

Han Dajie's face turned a little pale at this time, and he said deliciously: "Then what should I do, are you all working here?" ”

Xu Jin said calmly: "Since the thieves want to ambush Ben Shuai, then Ben Shuai will come up with a plan and plan it, Zhao Datou, order the team to move on." ”

This will even Xu Jie was stunned, knowing that there was an ambush and still rushing into it, could it be that Xu Jin was afraid that his life would not last?

Zhao Datou was even more confused, and said authentically: "Dashuai, the brains of your subordinates are not good, you better not be dumb." ”

Xu Jinruo smiled meaningfully: "Have you ever heard the story of the new official taking office with three fires? ”

Xu Jie's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo!" ”
