【Chapter 468】 The danger is undecided
Da-da-da-da!
On the official road from Jizhou Zhao Guo (Zhao County) to Hanoi County, a group of more than ten people galloped through with their horses and whips.
On closer inspection, among the dozen or so people riding horses and galloping horses, there were men and women, who were in a hurry, dusty, and tired, as if they had traveled day and night for several days in a row.
Sigh!
In the evening, the group finally turned around at the Zhendian intersection next to the road, and slowly walked towards the town along the fork in the road.
After about a cup of tea, these people lived in the Xiuwu Pavilion Station at the west end of the town; This is a government-run post station, which is an inn for pedestrians to come and go on the official road.
After the wash, the group gathered in the upper room on the east side, and whispered about whether the follow-up personnel could leave Jizhou safely. Outside the door, a burly man of nearly foot height stood around with cold eyes, preventing anyone from approaching the room.
"It's been years since I've been so tired, it's really nostalgic!" In the room, the handsome man sitting on the main seat said unashamedly.
This exclamation is indeed a bit unashamed, obviously a wolf bèi escaped, after this person said this, it seems to be revisiting the interesting things as easy and freehand. If this is not a big talk, I'm afraid there are no more people in the world who are not ashamed. It can be seen that the person who makes this exclamation has either been in a high position for a long time, or he is cheerful and thick-skinned by nature.
"What the lord said is very true. Since we established ourselves in Wuwei County, it is true that we have not been so wolf for many years. After hearing the sigh of the handsome man on the throne, the person sitting in the first place on the left side immediately echoed it.
What kind of master there is, what kind of subordinates there are, things gather people in groups, and this is the pair of masters and servants.
Presumably all the officials understood that the two people in the room who sang and harmonized were Li Li, the commander of the Xiliang Army, and Li Xuan, the monk Shangshu Ling.
That's exactly what happened. More than ten people in this group are Li Li, Zhen and others who were "strategically transferred" from Zhongshan Wuji City seven days ago.
Therefore, the person who is sitting in the room at this time. In addition to Li Li on the main seat and Li Xuan on the left, there are also Zhen Zhang Ai, the first on the right, Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Ma Yunluo, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong and Zhen Mi and other nine people, plus Li Zhi who guards the door and two personal soldiers who take care of the horses in the backyard stable, a total of fourteen people.
In the past seven days, Li Li and his entourage of fourteen people traveled lightly, and the Zhen family and the caravan were all scattered and left Jizhou separately. In the first three days, Li Li and others traveled day and night, traveling hundreds of miles every day; On the fourth day, it was found that notices wanted Zhen and the Zhen family were posted everywhere in Changshan and Zhao, and checkpoints were set up in towns and cities along the way. Keep a close inventory of passers-by and caravans. As a last resort, Li Li and the others could only walk day and night, their nerves were always tense, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Fortunately, the group finally walked out of the border county of Zhao on the evening of the sixth day. There was no danger to leave the border of Jizhou and enter Hanoi County under the jurisdiction of Si Li. As of now. Li Li and the others are completely out of danger. Entering Xiu Wu County, the hinterland of Hanoi County, it is already very close to the Wuwei Battalion war cavalry stationed in the camp of An Yi. So, since leaving Wuji City in the evening seven days ago, the group stayed in the inn for the first time, and they could finally sleep peacefully, and entering Hanoi County meant that they were safe.
Although Hanoi County is too guarded and flamboyant, he has a delicate relationship with the Xiliang Army at the moment. Faintly showing the situation of secession and self-reliance, but on the surface he still attached himself to the imperial court and obeyed the orders of the generals, and he did not act out of the ordinary in the past two years. In addition, Hanoi is located on the north bank of the Yellow River. It borders the Zhao State of Jizhou, and the southeast is adjacent to Chenliu County of Yanzhou, which is actually a buffer zone between the Western Liang Army and the princes of the Central Plains. Therefore, Teng Xiao's army stationed in the camp of Anyi could not force it too much, lest Hanoi Zhang Yang jump over the wall and completely fall to the side of Yuan Shao or Chen Liuzhang Miao in Jizhou.
It is precisely for these reasons that Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang was able to survive in the cracks, and disobeyed Li Li's orders, but secretly had an ambiguous relationship with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and recruited troops and horses, always on guard against An Yi battalion sending troops to Hanoi County.
In fact, Teng Xiao, the general of Pingdong stationed in the camp of Anyi, repeatedly asked for orders to send troops to Hanoi County in an attempt to completely wipe out Zhang Yang's troops. However, Li Li had already calculated this, and never agreed to Teng Xiao's request, and strictly ordered him not to act without permission, and regularly urged Zhang Yang to pay taxes and wages.
In this way, for three years, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang has been under the front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but there is no danger, and he has survived until now.
It is precisely because of the buffering effect of the two forces of Hanoi Zhang Yang and Chen Liuzhang Miao that there is no direct border between the Xiliang Army and Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and although there is friction between them, there has never been a frontal conflict and large-scale war.
This time, Li Li returned to Sili from Jizhou, and it can be said that there were dangers along the way. has been blocked on the checkpoint more than ten times, fortunately Zhen coped properly, has already prepared a lot of money, along the road checkpoints and city passes are all money to open the way, repeatedly dangerous to pass the clearance. Maybe there are too many businessmen in Jizhou, or Jizhou is rich, or military discipline is lax, so that most of the defenders of the cities and checkpoints along the way are open-minded people who see money, and the wanted notice is posted next to it, and they don't even recognize the Zhen mother and daughter who are pretending to be dressed.
It is worth mentioning that the wanted notice issued by the Jizhou Che Cavalry General's Mansion did not mention Li Li's name, let alone the portrait of Li Li and others. It can be seen that until Li Li and the others left the border of Jizhou, Yuan Shao did not know that the Zhen family had been attached to Li Li and had been kept in the dark.
Xiuwu Inn, in the upper room of the east courtyard.
As Li Li and Li Xuan spoke one after another, the more depressing atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
After changing clothes and freshening up, Li Li had a very relaxed expression on his face, sitting on the main seat on the steps, drinking tea with a teacup and not hurrying, while looking at everyone in the hall with a smile.
While drinking tea, she noticed that Zhen Rong's pretty face showed a worried look, and Li Li said to her with a smile: "Fourth Miss don't worry too much about Zhongkang's safety. The main targets of Yuan Shao's arrest this time were the people we were sitting with, but we had already left Jizhou and arrived in Hanoi County at this time. The defenders along the way looked at the notices and didn't find any of us, and Zhong Kang, Shu Zhi and Zhong Ming were not on the list of wanted arrests, and the defenders had no way of knowing their identities, so it was impossible to arrest people at will. What's more, they followed the Zhen family's caravan and scattered out of the customs, with plenty of gold and silver in their hands, and in case of obstacles, they could bribe the search soldiers like us, and return to the division all the way unhindered. ”
Zhen Rong is the fourth of the five sisters of the Zhen family, now 16 years old, beautiful and generous, gentle and quiet, she is Xu Chu's wife.
This time, Li Li and others evacuated Jizhou separately, in addition to the current fourteen people going first, the remaining three hundred guards were led by Duan Xuan, Xu Chu, and Chen Zhi to lead dozens of personal soldiers to accompany the Zhen family caravan. As for the Zhen family's thousands of family members and more than 1,000 family deceased, they pretended to be Black Mountain thieves, and He Man led them up the mountain from the territory of Changshan Country, and joined the Zhenggu and others who had been waiting there, and then infiltrated the Shangdang of the state, and then entered Hedong County from Shangdang County, and then went straight to the camp of Anyi. Evacuate so scattered, and go to Sili separately, so as not to attract attention, and within half a month, you should be able to arrive at the Anyi camp one after another.
Seeing that Zhen Rong's expression was slightly relieved by Li Li's comfort, Zhen shook his head happily, turned his gaze to Li Li, and said with a puzzled expression: "When we left Wuji City that day, Yuan Shao had already arrived outside the city with 10,000 armor soldiers, and it stands to reason that he would send troops to hunt us down that night, but he didn't do so, and it wasn't until two days later that he issued a notice to arrest my Zhen family. Subsequently, Yuan Shao knew that my Zhen family had moved away, but he did not order the confiscation of the Zhen family's shops in Jizhou, let alone the arrest and killing of the Zhen family in the whole territory.
Why would he do that? Could it be that Yuan Shao is really a broad-minded person, or does he not mind that my Zhen family leaves Jizhou to join other princes? As far as I know, this is not Yuan Shao's style of doing things, he is not a benevolent and generous person at all, and he does not have this tolerance for others! ”
"Hmm." Li Li bowed his head in response with deep sympathy, and said in a deep voice with a slightly solemn expression: "Since we left Jizhou yesterday, I have been thinking about this issue for two days. Yuan Shao's response this time is indeed a bit strange, although he did it for us to ask for something that we couldn't ask for, so that we could get out. However, if Yuan Shao can really handle the relocation of the Zhen family so lightly, it will make me Li Li impress him!
Now one thing is certain, that is, Yuan Shao did not know that I Li Li had secretly infiltrated Jizhou, at least in the six days that we left Jizhou, he did not know about it. Otherwise, he will definitely send troops to chase and kill, even if he uses all the troops of Jizhou, and even personally lead the troops to search and arrest the whole territory.
Let's not talk about my identity for the time being, just talk about the relocation of the Zhen family. In this matter, Yuan Shao did not strictly order the border counties to arrest and kill the Zhen family, but only posted notices to arrest them along the way. This is one of them.
Second, he did not confiscate the Zhen family's shops at the first time, nor did he conduct a large-scale search for the Zhen family, let alone explicitly order the killing of the Zhen family and a comprehensive investigation of the Zhen family's property. Third, he didn't seem to be worried about the lives of Yuan Xi, Feng Ji and the more than 1,000 soldiers and soldiers, and seemed to be sure that the Zhen family would not harm them and would not dare to kill these people.
Judging from these three points alone, although Yuan Shao did not verify my Li Li's identity at the first time, he did not act rashly because the Zhen family moved away. On the contrary, aside from my identity, Yuan Shao's move is long-term and rational, and there is no mistake in decision-making, but it is very wise. ”
