There are three official roads leading to Qingfeng County, and two teams of terrifying caravans escorted goods from Lancang County and Heyang County to half a month ago.

The horse gang is a common mode of transportation in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the earliest horse gang came from the Southern Tang Dynasty into the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the two countries had not yet opened trade exchanges, generally speaking, it was no different from smuggling, the Southern Tang Dynasty was okay, and it was not explicitly prohibited, but if it was caught by the government in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it would be a raid on the house and an army, and a heavy head would fall to the ground.

However, the profits still overshadowed the fear in people's hearts, especially the Fengjiang two prefectures that were still part of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time were the most prominent, and there were no less than ten large-scale horse gangs among the people, and hundreds of people gathered in the gangs, and the law did not blame the people, plus most of the local officials had secret dealings with these horse gangs, no matter how much people's livelihood growth could be brought to the county by a horse walk, the silver taels that were distributed to them alone were really attractive compared to those poor Yulu committees.

However, what really made the horse gang recognized by the imperial court was that the Southern Tang Dynasty army pressed the border ten years ago, Fengjiang and Fengjiang fell to the two states, leaving only Cangzhou to become the gateway of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if the key to the victory of this battle lies in the Tsing Yi white horse crossing the river, but it is difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, Cangzhou from a dangerous inner city in just one month to the strongest military town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mo said why Han Zhishi drank under the city for three days and no one dared to fight, and Mo said that just because Li Zaixiao came, he suddenly had the capital to set up a three-day decisive battle, and even the two states of Fengjiang, which had already fallen, were imported into Cangzhou day and night, which contributed to the victory of the First Battle of the Li River.

Since then, the Northern Wei Dynasty recognized the existence of the caravan, three years ago the two countries officially opened trade, although the fat difference was started by the government, but it was impossible to find so many people, so many caravans were recognized by the government, it can be said that they ate a lot of money overnight, and some of the huge caravans even spanned two states, and the number was even thousands.

This time from Heyang County a total of 600 people, most of the goods are silk and tea from the Southern Tang Dynasty, these two are worth a lot of money in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the caravan from Lancang County is to bring a batch of high-quality jade, the Southern Tang Dynasty warm jade is famous all over the world, the milk jade of Luzhou is the most precious, the warm milk jade on Chen Maochuan's waist can be called the dragon liver and phoenix marrow general precious objects.

There are thousands of people in the two horse gangs, and they flock to Qingfeng County together, which is also a good scenery, if the interests left in it before must be reduced layer by layer, but after Li Zaixiao went to Beijing, all the horses in Cangzhou were handed over to Chang Ming, except for the weight left by local officials, the rest needed to be counted by Chang Ming himself and transported to Kyoto, but how much of them should be detained, it is unknown.

At the beginning, Chang Ming only had the horse gang of nine counties in his hands, and Li Zaixiao was in control of the entire thirty-three counties, ninety percent of the profits over the years were directly consumed on the border army, Rao is so the remaining one percent is still to make the states and counties along the way to the extreme, the original four states have nearly fifty percent of the taxes poured into this front across the east and west, these two shares of silver combined, it is much more prosperous than Kyoto, but how big a pot you have to be, how big a rice can you be, Cangzhou outside the Southern Tang Dynasty is eyeing over, and there are loyal ministers in the DPRK and the middle of the elbow, if you eat so ugly again, I am afraid that it will not last long。

Chang Ming was originally ordered to come, and now he has mastered the line of the horse gang, which must be stronger than the original Yicheng, what does the life and death of the border army have to do with him, so much silver is invested in it every year until death or only 50,000 Wei Wushu, even he doubts that this money is eaten by Li Zaixiao alone, at this time he has nearly 50,000 horses in nine counties in his hands, is it possible that I can't raise a group of Wei Wushu, by then you Li Zaixiao is trapped in Kyoto, Cangzhou is not my hand to cover the sky.

At least in the eyes of many people, Chen Maochuan, the prince, is really pitiful, there are two mountains above the head of Cangzhou, some people want him to die, in order to get rid of Li Zaixiao, such as the loyal son, and some people want him to live, as a puppet in the hands of Li Zaixiao, in order to restrain the rest of the righteous sons who are ready to move, such as the old man who is in his old age, such as the emperor who sits on the dragon chair.

It's just that Li Zaixiao went to Beijing and Chen Maochuan took power, which deeply touched the interests of many people, the people who originally wanted him to die still wanted him to die, but the people who wanted him to live also wanted him to die, there was only one emperor, and there was only one puppet, Li Jucheng was old, and he could die at any time, so who is the next person to pull the strings, who is the next puppet, or the puppet no longer wants to be a puppet.

The world is singing the praises of Li Jucheng's great achievements, but forgetting that this country is surnamed Chen, and the loyal ministers scolding Li Jucheng's high merits, but they have also been disappointed in the Chen royal family once, and King Qi, who has been silent for seven years, has finally been mentioned again in the court, and more and more times.

No one knows what the emperor on the dragon chair is thinking, because he is too respectful in front of Li Jucheng, respectful and ignorerant, brothers fight, this is a drama passed down from more than ten dynasties, wonderful and ruthless, it just so happens that there are two brothers, and they happen to be puppets in the eyes of the world, and one happens to rely on Li Jucheng, and the other is close to Li Zaixiao, and now one of them seems to have turned over, so the next plot will be more exciting.

Li Zaixiao entered Beijing to see his father-in-law who he hadn't seen for ten years, Chen Maochuan also wanted to enter Beijing, and he saw his eldest brother who hadn't seen him for seven years, the former can only have one, and the latter seems to be the same, the difference is that Li Jucheng is old, and they are still very young.

The leader of the caravan from Heyang County was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, wearing a cloth coat that was not gorgeous, neatly and neatly, leaning on the carriage, his fingers moving something in the void, and muttering to himself.

Although the horse gang has a little more rules and restrictions than the civil forces, but in the final analysis, most of the people who get together are people who go south and north on the rivers and lakes, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes on the body is inevitable, but this group of 600 people gives people a feeling of being one, take a break for a hundred miles, feed the horses first, and then eat, the horse is the foundation of the horse gang, the Northern Wei Dynasty is rich in horses, and it is also divided into three, six, nine, etc., the best such as the snow BMW in Baizhou, for the army, the explosive power is the first and foremost, followed by the lasting, the cavalry battle is better than the momentum, a few charges will break up the enemy formation, the explosive power of the horse determines the penetration of the whole cavalry, and for the horse gang, only ask for a long time, the caravan can't stop, once it stops, there is no source of livelihood, but the horses of this caravan are all tall, strong limbs, both explosive and long-lasting, it is a pity to throw it in the caravan, and to smash out the scale of six hundred, it is astronomical, no wonder it is a team from the first county of Cangzhou.

"Master, I'm really overwhelmed by the bumpy road, so it's better to take a break. "I saw a bloated fat man coming on a horse, this kind of person is really rare in the horse gang, but the horse under him is strong, and he walks like the wind.

The middle-aged man's fingers in the void paused for a moment, squinted his eyes and skimmed at the fat guy like a pig beside him, his cheeks were slightly angry, and he scolded: "Li Chengjun, I don't know about your little flowery intestines, how can I feel heartache for your two hundred personal soldiers." ”

Li Chengjun smiled, to hide the embarrassment of being seen through, and said softly: "Master, we are difficult brothers and sisters who are trying to survive in the cracks on the north side, and how much savings are small ones are not born from between our teeth. ”

The man snorted coldly, and continued to point in the void, as if playing against someone in the air, only falling in the void, "How much income do you have in Shanghe County in a year to raise you to this appearance, not to mention that your two hundred personal soldiers can be regarded as fierce soldiers even if they are left in the border army, and how much money do you have to eat." ”

"Master, since you all know, it will be empty of our family, and it will not be Mu Dusi who will be happy at that time, how much silver was given to him at the beginning before he half-concealed some soldiers and horses, in the end, he can't compare to Old Man Lou, and casually bring out eight hundred people, as well as thirty disciples of the One Qi Sect, let's just let him take the lead, anyway, that one is not the main master, we still have to think more about ourselves!" Li Chengjun touched the two breasts on his chest that were fuller than his mother-in-law, he was really distressed in the past half a month, but he couldn't match the worry in his heart, watching the people and horses he raised one by one just pull out and die, it hurts!

"Don't worry, after this time, that Mu Dusi wishes that you would put all the people and horses on the surface for Chang Ming to show in the future, and besides, after seeing that person, you can't say this kind of bastard again, His Highness is willing to give him the treasure medal, what does this mean, and also, how do you think that the old face of Old Man Lou can invite thirty disciples of the One Qi Sect, which is mostly the face of that person. ”

Li Chengjun's little eyes opened when he listened, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled three times unconsciously, the leader of the horse gang in front of him was actually not the county guard of Heyang County, known as the chess saint Lu Dengke, he rarely heard this adult praise anyone, Rao is the prime minister Li who turned the clouds and rain in the court, and he also scolded a few times when he came to the other party, and he knew a lot of inside stories about the affairs of the Yiqi Sect than others, and knew that His Royal Highness had personally climbed the mountain, I thought that half of them were Li Zaixiao's plans, and half of Chen Maochuan's deterrence, but listening to Lu Dengke's words, this young man named Su Wen is really very outstanding。

The eyes turned fast, he has been able to be powerful in Shanghe County over the years, but it is not just corruption, the people of Shanghe County will scold the corrupt officials with a smile when they mention this fat pig, but no one says that this adult is not a word, not that he is afraid of Gu Danian, but respects from the bottom of his heart, Shanghe County is worthy of the name of the richest man in the entire Heyang County, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he should be a county guard in terms of political achievements, but a greedy word was forced by Lu Dengke in the position of a county order, Li Chengjun also had no complaints, but he knew that if he really didn't have a teacher to take care of his own temperament, nine times out of ten he would be found by Chang Ming to clean up。

Although Li Chengjun is stingy, he is extremely shrewd, he belongs to the kind of guy who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and at this moment, he can't wait to immediately take two hundred people straight to the side of the fake Qi king, and whoever dares to move this master will step on Lao Tzu's corpse first.

"Then we have to grab this work, let the old man Lou see, what does it mean to be in Changying's heart in Li. ”

"Bastard, what is called in Li, is in Wei. Lu Dengke scolded with a smile, "Order, the team accelerates, and no one can lose to Old Man Lou." ”

Li Chengjun laughed and said: "What the master scolds, it's just that it's not good for you to be too strong, master." ”

"Hmph, what's the matter, I can't repay the two jars of wine that I lost in chess yesterday. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'll give the order. The fat man happily clamped the horse's belly and walked forward.

Lu Dengke stroked his beard and continued to fall into the void, only to play three or two before waving his hand to break up the non-existent chessboard, looking at the fat figure and laughing dryly, "Fat Li! Sooner or later, you want to get out of my protection, can't you learn from me that I was too heavy-minded, the sky is high and the earth is wide, a Cangzhou can't tolerate you as a corrupt official, go to the capital to harm them!"
