Long Zhen got up early in the morning, and Tianmeng Mengliang ordered Zhao Dutou and Fang Dutou to drive the soldiers up one after another, leaving fifty people to serve the horses, bring enough dry food and water, and then send fifty people to various car dealers to gather the carts, and the rest of the swarms followed him to an inn in the north of the city agreed with Yan Biyun.

Yan Biyun was reluctant to let Long Zhen know that he was the Yan family, so since he entered Luzhou City, he only contacted Long Zhen and others through this inn.

The servant hurriedly went to Hefeng Lou to report to Yan Biyun, and after a while, Yan Biyun and Xiao Xian'er came in a carriage surrounded by the Yan family's nursing home.

Long Zhen stepped forward and said, "The vehicle has been gathered, the little lady can take me to the granary to deliver." ”

Yan Biyun put down most of the stones in her heart, and in the past few days, she also ordered her family and the Su family to gather around the carts, but with little effect, the carts in the car shop seemed to have been taken down, and she was also worried about this matter.

This dragon really has some ability, and he actually let him get together a big car, it seems that he is still an official and easy to do, and many people have to give some face.

In this case, without further ado, the delivery should be made earlier and the road should be carried earlier, Yan Biyun did not say a word and took everyone out of the city and went straight to the place where the grain was hidden in the north of the city, and walked around for more than ten miles in 70,000, only then did he find a manor in a dense forest between the two hills.

Long Zhenxin said: Even if you have the heart to find such a place to store grain, you can't find it, these merchants are really crazy, and their brains are hollowed out in order to make money.

It didn't matter from the outside, as soon as they entered the inside, everyone suddenly couldn't close their mouths, and threw off a dozen houses, and the sacks inside were piled up like a hill, and each bag was a good rice, which looked magnificent.

Long Zhen gave an order, the big car rushed in, and the weighing and loading were in full swing, and he was busy until the afternoon, and finally loaded all the 500,000 stone grains into the car, and the 800 big cars couldn't be loaded, fortunately, Yan Biyun had collected some vehicles before, and hurriedly went to transfer them, so he barely loaded the 500,000 stones into the car.

Look at the road near the left, nearly 900 big cars lined up in a long line, stretching for five or six miles, just the water and food to be used on the road, the forage for the livestock to eat is loaded with more than 40 cars, the scene is magnificent, the team of 1,200 people, plus thousands of cattle, will be a remote northern suburb like a downtown area.

Long Zhen climbed high and looked far away, and his heart was shocked, such a long convoy, don't say it's a bandit to rob it on the road. robbery, even if no one comes to make trouble, it is not well taken care of; However, it was the first time he had commanded such a big scene, and Long Zhen had some heroic pride rising from the bottom of his heart.

Yan Biyun ordered Xiao Xian'er to take out a pen and paper and hand it to Long Zhendao: "Commander Long, let's make a receipt, and the slave family will go to the third division to settle the money and silver with this note." ”

Long Zhen had never handled such a large amount of material, and when asked about the price, Yan Biyun said lightly: "Don't indicate the price, just say how much stone grain you receive." ”

Long Zhen didn't say much, this woman was as cold as ice, covered with a cloth all day long, although her body and voice were excellent, but it was by no means the type she could control, looking at her commanding appearance, she still didn't mess with it, she wrote a receipt at the moment, signed, sealed, and pressed her handprint, everything was in order; Yan Biyun and his party took the receipt and left without a trace.

Long Zhen ordered: "All the cars will gather in the East Gate Square, it is late today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

The car drove like a long dragon to the east gate, gathered together in the square outside the east gate, Zhu Shiyong, who arrived at the news, was also righteous enough, and sent three hundred troops to assist in guarding, this night dozens of bonfires were lit in the square, illuminating the whole east city with a red light, the people on the square neighed and tossed all night, taught the surrounding people to stay awake all night, and scolded tens of thousands of mothers.

At the fourth watch, a fast horse galloped out of the north gate and went straight to the direction of Shouchun Mansion, and there were three figures standing by the window of a small building near the city gate.

One of them said in a low voice: "The messenger has been dispatched, it seems that the prefect has agreed to this method, we mentioned it to him yesterday, and he still scolded us and others, it seems that he is not full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes." ”

Another said: "Lao Huang, didn't you scold us all by what you said?" This should be said, in this world, the brain is lively, and the handle can be ruthless, we are also forced to live, and the prefect is also forced to live, someone does not let us live a good life, so we let him have no life. ”

The first one chuckled and said, "The president can still speak, and when I say this, I suddenly sound much more comfortable." ”

A black and thin figure next to him smiled and said: "Why didn't Tang Weng go to the test for fame, just with this means of being able to say the truth over and over again, how can he be a prefect." ”

Tang Jiyuan said with a smile: "Lao Liu, you also come to arrange me, but everyone in the world thinks it's good to be an official, if you want me to say that it's the most affordable to make money, what's the use of the prefect?" Let's tell him to send someone to do something, don't you think it's easy to do what we say? What is the difference between him being a prefect and us being a prefect? Don't you have to act according to the eyes of the masters? ”

Chairman Liu nodded and said, "Incisive, we don't disdain to be officials, but those who are officials are dispatched by us." ”

The three of them laughed, and for a moment they were careless, and the sound was a little louder, causing the surrounding night dogs to bark wildly, and the night birds flew one after another.

……

Early the next morning, the noise in the East Gate Square was even worse, with shouts, shouts, scolding, the sound of vehicles moving, the whipping of cattle, and the sound of horses' hooves. Until the end of the hour, when the people who were lazy in the cold winter looked to look, the East Gate Square was already empty.

Dozens of burned-out bonfires smoked from the square, and the square was in shambles, with cow and horses drowning everywhere, attracting a dozen hungry wild dogs to scurry around the square, fighting endlessly.

On the official road, the two cars walked side by side, even so, the team stretched for nearly three miles, Long Zhen ordered Zhao and Fang to lead the thirty horse army to open the road and break the road, and the remaining more than 100 people in addition to the twenty steps also organized five teams of ten people to ride back and forth to shuttle around, in case of accidents.

The snow on the road had melted, and it was not at all as difficult as he had imagined, and although the official road was muddy, the weather was cold, and the clods of earth had frozen together, except for some slipping and cattle's feet, there were no major problems.

But Long Zhen didn't urge everyone to hurry up, he planned to climb on the road so slowly, it didn't hurt to climb for ten days and half a month, as long as the grain truck was on the road, he didn't care when it would arrive, the privy envoy Du Yan's words were still in his ears, Su Jin could be offended, Yan Shu could be offended, and the top boss, Du Shumi, the highest military governor of the Great Song Dynasty, could not be offended.

Besides, the position of the commander of the guard department promised by Du Shumi is really attractive, once this position sits under his ass, it is equivalent to one of the emperor's most trusted people, and he will also have his own position in front of the three divisions and two mansions in the future. Isn't it for the sake of the scenery and glory?

The convoy crawled on the official road like a crawler, and by noon, it took less than twenty miles in three hours, at this rate at most fifty miles a day, and it was difficult to reach the distance of nearly four hundred miles without walking for seven or eight days, Long Zhen was not in a hurry at all, and was very satisfied with this progress.

There is a big city called Shouzhou in the north of Luzhou more than 160 miles, here is the location of the governance of Huainan West Road, there is a mountain in the east of Shouzhou, named Bagong Mountain; The name of this mountain is quite mythical, and the cloud in the "Taiping Huanyu Ji": "The king of Huainan and the eight princes climbed the mountain to bury gold here, and ascended to heaven in the daytime." The remaining medicine is in the vessel, and the chickens and dogs lick it, all of which are immortals. Behind it, there are traces of people and horses, still there, so the mountain is named after the eight princes. It can be seen that this is the source of the allusion of 'one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven'.

The height of this mountain is not high, the main peak is only less than 400 meters high, but the mountain is steep, the mountains stretch quite widely, and the grass is deep and dense, the road in and out is steep and difficult, and the brigade of people and horses can not pass through at all.

Because of this, the bandits gathered here, Huainan Road set Shouzhou and Luzhou two states of the army encircled and suppressed all returned, in this way, the reputation of the bandits in Bagongshan was greatly enhanced, and a small group of bandits near the left have joined the gang, and those people who could not survive were also coerced into the gang to become bandits, and the momentum was better than one day.

For several months, no one dared to walk alone within a radius of several miles down the mountain, for fear that this group of bandits would be brave and killed, and merchants and pedestrians would go far and wide, even if they were delayed for three or five days, they could not teach these bandits to be arrested.

On this day, the sentry of the bandits, who were idle at the foot of the mountain, suddenly saw a horse on the road under the mountain moving slowly, and immediately the man was dressed as a tolerance, and looked like he had been running a long way, and was a little tired, and planned to let the horse rest for a while.

The bandits came to the spirit all of a sudden, when the bandits did not dare to come to encircle and suppress the bandits, it was strange and boring, although this person and a horse did not look like much oil and water, but this person was dressed in bad clothes, he must be a person in the government, and he must be stopped if he says anything.

After the news tree was cut down, the bandits in front of the mountain pass had already opened their pockets to meet this unlucky tolerance, and this gentleman did not know it, but still sat slowly on horseback, holding a roll of dough in his hand and eating and drinking with water hyacinth.
