Chapter 216: The worst thing is to mix up the dragon's work
Huyang County was originally an empty earthen wall, and it was not even as good as Zhaojiabao of the Zhao family in Shuozhou. However, in the past six months, this place has completely changed.
In order to protect the clansmen of their own clan, more than 8,000 men of the Zhao family in Shuozhou and the slaves they bought overtime, worked day and night, and finally completed the construction of Huyang City before the arrival of heavy snow. At this time, the county town of Huyang has a rammed earth city wall six feet wide, tall and majestic enemy towers, horse face walls, female walls, looking at the Western Regions, if Chen Ying did not come over, only Gaochang City can be compared with the current Huyang City.
The family business is inherited from generation to generation, and then the next generation adds bricks and tiles, and finally becomes a big family, Zhao Boying is convinced of this.
The ancestor of Shuozhou Zhao is just an ordinary soldier in Shuozhou City in the Han Dynasty, after retiring due to injury, Shuozhou settled, with 40 acres of military shirt field to start a business, after dozens of generations of business, Shuozhou Zhao has become a famous Haoqiang in Shuozhou. Now, Huyangcheng has become the city of the Zhao family, from the county order, the main bo, the county cheng, the six-room secretary, the third-class officer, the jailer, the servant, the guard, the guard, the doorman, all from the Zhao family.
Zhao Boying is to operate this Huyang County, which is about 600 miles north and south and about 713 miles east and west, as a foundation. In order to attract the population, Zhao Boying led his people to build a large number of vacant houses, and built more than 7,800 large and small houses in the county town of Huyang, Ruoda.
Stroking his shiny brass seal, Zhao Boying was very satisfied.
However, there was a faint wind, and it seemed that the imperial court was dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the protector of the capital, and at this time, Zhao Boying couldn't sit still. He hurriedly called his son in front of him and asked, "Haoxin, how much money do we have in our family now?" β
Huyang County discovered a copper mine of a large scale, in this era, copper ore is money, which is why Zhao Boying can be stronger than other Shuozhou Hao, complete the construction of Huyang City in one go, and complete the construction of more than 7,000 courtyards, because he has money.
Zhao Haoxin served as the county magistrate, and said with a helpless smile: "Daddy, our expenses this year are too big, and there are only more than 1,500 yuan left!" β
More than 1,500 does not sound like much, but in fact it is a lot of money. According to the calculation of about seven catties of five baht coins, more than 1,500 yuan is equivalent to more than 10,000 catties.
Zhao Boying thought for a while and said, "Bring all the money with you and follow me to Shule!" β
Although Zhao Haoxin didn't understand what Zhao Boying meant, he still did it according to Zhao Boying's meaning, more than 10,000 catties of copper coins, full of three four-wheeled carriages, and each carriage plus its own weight, there were more than 4,000 catties.
Two horses pulled a cart, nearly forty stone load, ruts rolled over the road, "rattling", in the world is definitely a heavy-duty carriage. This kind of car can only walk on the hard road in the city, and it will cost an extra horsepower to take the hard dirt road; In case of rain, the road becomes muddy, and it is even more lying down.
Fortunately, Chen Ying attacked all the way to the west, and at the same time built a lot of asphalt roads, so he didn't have to worry about road problems. Zhao Boying summoned 200 people from the armor tribe, and Zhao Boying, the commander of Huyang County, had the power to control 300 Mabu archers in Huyang County. Of course, this is in fact only a militia nature.
However, in this place in the Western Regions, in order to protect the safety of the Tang people, Chen Ying lifted the restriction that the people in the Guannai could not have strong crossbows and iron armor, so Zhao Boying took three hundred soldiers, together with his own supplies, a total of more than a dozen carts, and marched towards Shule City.
At this time, Zhao Haoxin pondered the taste. Zhao Boying is sending money to Chen Ying, which can also be said to be a loss of sincerity.
Zhao Haoxin was puzzled, the imperial court had become jealous of Chen Ying, and at this time, their Shuozhou Zhao clan should draw a line with Chen Ying, instead of getting together.
In the bumpy carriage, Zhao Boying was a little uncomfortable, he closed his eyes and lay on the soft couch in the carriage to rest. Zhao Haoxin opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help asking, "Daddy, the child doesn't understand!" β
"What don't you understand?"
"I don't understand why you're doing this!" Zhao Haoxin suddenly said with a disdignant face: "Daddy, Chen Dadu is about to lose power, let's go over by the ground now, won't we throw ourselves into the net?" β
"Hey......" Zhao Boying couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this. He sighed and said: "Haoxin, you are the one who will accept the patriarch of our Shuozhou Zhao clan after a hundred years of being your father in the future, your eyelids are so shallow, how dare your father hand over the Zhao clan to you?" β
Zhao Haoxin said unconvinced: "Daddy, what you said is too fair, the child is also a rich man, although he doesn't dare to admit that he is a high eight buckets, but it will not let the Zhao family decline!" β
Zhao Boying said: "Then let me ask you, have you read the historical records?" At the Hongmen banquet, what did Fan Zeng say about Xiang Yu! β
Zhao Haoxin's face turned into a pig's liver color, of course he had read the historical records, and he naturally knew how Fan Zeng said Xiang Yu, it was a famous saying through the ages - the erector is not enough and conspiracy!
Zhao Boying looked at Zhao Haoxin, who was unconvinced, and said: "Even if Chen Dadu is not the protector of the Western Regions, he is still the great Situ of the dynasty, ranking as the top prince, and the official residence is from the first grade, whether it is Pei Xiang, Xiao Xiang, or Chen Xiang." Or Yang Xiang, when they saw Chen Daduhu, they also had to give official courtesy, even if His Majesty cut the Duke of Liang Guo from Daduhu and removed him from all official positions, Dadu Hu would not be Dadu Hu? Is he the one who can be stepped on? Others can be naΓ―ve, they can be naΓ―ve, but you can't! β
Zhao Haoxin's face was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Zhao Boying sneered and sat up and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself, at this time, Xu Caifu of the Xu family, Dong An of the Dong family, and Ren Bi of the Ren family, they should all be here!" β
Sure enough, at this time, I heard the guards say: "Feng Jia's Feng Lan asks to go along!" β
Zhao Haoxin was puzzled. Puzzled.
Zhao Boying sighed, his son is always his own good, no matter how unbearable he is, he is better than other people's sons. Zhao Boying said: "Do you really think that even if we don't rely on the past, others won't think that we are Chen Dadu's protectors?" In fact, as early as in Shuozhou, when my father took refuge in Chen Daduhu, our Shuozhou Zhao family was marked with Chen Daduhu, no matter what, we can't wash it off! β
Zhao Haoxin said depressedly: "Our Zhao clan has just improved, but at this time, what if...... That's a pipe short! β
"Hmph......" Zhao Boying said: "If that's really the case, it's better, maybe our Zhao clan can mix up the dragon skills!" β
Zhao Boying is right, in fact, Chen Ying has no way to turn back now, unless he is as naΓ―ve as Yue Fei. In fact, at this time, fighting is death, and not fighting is death. Waiting to be killed will definitely not be Chen Ying's character.

Outside Chang'an City, a group of Yuan Cong soldiers disguised themselves as ordinary people and slowly approached the Qinglin Forest. Du Yan, who was sitting on the second floor of a wine shop in Qinglin, looked at the soldiers of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army who didn't look like any ordinary people, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, Du Yan picked up a secret letter in his arms and said to Zhang Gong beside him: "You find a few capable subordinates and send this letter to the East Palace, saying that it is for Wei Zheng, but remember that the letter must be handed over to Wei Chigong!" β
"Wei Chigong?" Zhang Gongjin said with a puzzled face: "Why do you want to hand it over to Wei Chigong?" β
"There are also many factions in the East Palace!" Du Yan said with a smile: "Wei Zheng and the subordinate officials of Shandong nationality belong to the Shandong lineage, while Wei Ting, Feng Li, they belong to the Guanlong line, and Chen Yingyi, like Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhigan, including Wei Chigong, who are called the generals of the East Palace, all belong to Chen Ying's subordinates!" β
Zhang Gongjin said thoughtfully: "Understood! β
As he spoke, Zhang Gongjin turned around with a few entourage.
β¦β¦
Chang'an City, Wei Chigong Mansion. An inconspicuous three-entry courtyard, in the alley diagonally opposite the courtyard, Zhang Gongjin looked at Wei Chigong in armor and went out, and glanced at an attendant beside him.
The attendant took the secret letter from Zhang Gongjin's hand and was about to walk towards the door.
However, Zhang Gongjin said: "Wait! β
In the squire's puzzled gaze, Zhang Gongjin pointed at the squire and said, "Hold your breath!" β
The attendant was even more puzzled, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Gongjin suddenly made a move, pressed it on the attendant's shoulder, and gradually strengthened it.
The attendant gritted his teeth and carried it.
Zhang Gongjin's martial arts are not weak, and his strength is even greater, how can this attendant be able to resist. In just a moment, the attendant was pressed by Zhang Gongjin's face turned red, and beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
Zhang Gongjin looked at the sweat on the waiter's face and said with satisfaction: "Go!" β
The sweaty attendant panted and ran to the door of Wei Chigong and shook the knocker.
Wei Chigong's Si Yan pushed open the door and said, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" β
The attendant said, "Where is Wei Xima?"
Si Yan was a little puzzled and said, "Wei Xima? β
Without waiting for Si Yan to speak, the attendant hurriedly said, "Oh...... That's not there! This letter, remember to hand it over to Wei Xima, this is a private letter from General Chen to Wei Xima, and it must not be opened by others. β
As he spoke, the attendant didn't care about Si Yan's reaction, and directly stuffed the secret letter into Si Yan's hand.
At night, Wei Chigong returned to the mansion exhausted, and Si Yan hurriedly delivered the letter to Wei Chigong's hand and said, "Lord, this is a secret letter from General Chen to Wei Xima!" β
Wei Chigong said confusedly: "General Chen's secret letter to Wei Zheng? What about the messenger? β
Si Yan said: "Put down the letter and leave." β
Wei Chigong said suspiciously: "Do you know the messenger?"
The guard shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, it shouldn't be General Chen's people." The people under General Chen's hands, although they don't know all of them, there will definitely be no face-to-face people! β
Wei Chigong picked up the secret letter and sat and looked right, his face full of suspicion. Wei Chigong finally couldn't bear to tear open the secret letter and read it.
Wei Chigong was furious when he saw it, and smashed the letter on the desk with a punch.
The table made of mahogany was torn apart and turned into pieces under the smashing of Wei Chigong's punch.
Si Yan was shocked and asked, "Lord, what happened?" β
Wei Chigong roared with a hideous face: "What else can I do, Chen Ying asked Wei Zheng to design to kill me!" β
Si Yan was full of doubts and said, "But General Chen, why did you do this?" β
Wei Chigong was speechless for a while.
Wei Chigong took the secret letter, looked at it over and over again, and muttered to himself: "No, this is obviously General Chen's handwriting!" β
