Chen Qing only stayed in Fengxiang County for two days, and then continued north to Linyou County for inspection. He was warmly welcomed by the people in Linyou County, which made Chen Qing even feel like he had returned to his hometown.
Chen Qing also met with the families of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time announced that each family of the 500 soldiers who were registered in Linyou County would be rewarded with 100 acres of land and be exempted from taxes for life. Liu Wu's son, named Liu Chengzhi, is also quite promising now. , he inherited his father's legacy, studied for several years, gave up literature and followed martial arts, and practiced martial arts with Xu Ning. His marksmanship and archery skills were very outstanding, and he was promoted by Xu Ning to the head of the rural soldiers in Linyou County.
Liu Chengzhi told Chen Qing that he did not want to stay in his hometown and wanted to fly in a wider world. Chen Qing praised his ambition and immediately wrote him a letter of recommendation, asking him to lead fifty rural soldiers to Jingzhaoba. The military camp approached Lu Gui and asked them to become members of the Huben Army.
At dusk, it started to rain lightly. Chen Qing held an umbrella and took Yu Ying for a walk in the small streets of the county.
The clean stone roads, mottled ancient walls, and small shops made Chen Qing feel like he was back in the winter seven years ago, and it reminded him of his previous life. Scenes of dust-covered pictures flowed through his mind again. This kind of The feeling of hometown is so strong, Chen Qing doesn't know why he feels this way in Linyou County. Is this the place where he was born in his previous life?
Unconsciously, there was a trace of tears in the corners of Chen Qing's eyes.
Yu Ying snuggled tightly in her husband's arms, feeling the tranquility of this moment, her tenderness was like water, and she slightly felt a trace of emotion in her husband's heart, a kind of nostalgia and recollection of the past.
"Husband, shall we buy a house here?" Yu Ying's voice was very low, and it was the first time she called her husband.
"House?"
Chen Qing nodded. This little lady is very smart and can actually understand her own heart, but her style is still a bit small.
"Do you know what Linyou County was most famous for during the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"
"I do not know!"
"During the Sui Dynasty, there was a very famous palace here called Renshou Palace. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty spent the summer here, but he later died here."
"Where is the palace?"
Chen Qing pointed to the misty foothills of Fenghuang Mountain in the north and said with a smile: "On the mountain, it has become a pile of rubble."
"But if the official is here in the training palace, others will say that my husband is rebelling!" Yu Ying's courage to shout to her husband only lasted two minutes.
Chen Qingdan smiled and said: "It's just a name, just call it Villa."
Chen Qing held her waist and asked with a smile: "Why don't you call me husband?"
Yu Ying sighed softly, "I'm afraid my wife will be unhappy if I get used to it."
Chen Qing also knows that his wife attaches great importance to titles. Husband is her title. The other three sisters can only be called officials, and Zhao Qiaoyun is no exception. One time, Zhao Qiaoyun accidentally called her husband in front of Lu Xiu, which offended Lu Xiu for several days. Unhappy, it was not until Zhao Qiaoyun changed his title that the relationship between the two recovered.
Addressing someone by title is the most basic form of respect for his wife, so Chen Qing doesn't force it.
Chen Qing smiled and whispered in her ear: "You like to call me husband, so you can do it happily at night!"
Yu Ying's pretty face turned red and she nodded happily.
.........
Chen Qing stayed in Linyou County for three days before setting off back to Jingzhao.
In Yanzhou, a cavalry team composed of two thousand Jurchens ran quickly in the night. Each of these cavalrymen was wearing black armor and was tall and burly. They were the famous black-armored cavalry army. The leader was the Captain Ten Thousands. Ba Lisu is Wanyan Nianhan's right-hand man.
A few years ago, it was this same captain who led 3,000 black-armored cavalry troops in a surprise attack on the hinterland of Jiangnan, defeating 20,000 Song troops in Huzhou, forcing the emperor Zhao Gou to board a ship again to escape.
This time Ba Lisu once again carried out the secret mission entrusted to him by Wanyan Nianhan. The target has been locked and the time is tonight.
At this time, a small river appeared in front. The water was very shallow. For the cavalry, they could directly wade across the river. Pulling away, he raised his hand and said, "Stop!"
As expected of the well-trained black-armored cavalry, they reined in their horses one after another. At this time, a small boat came from the upper reaches of the river. On board was a boatman and a man in black. They pulled off their horses and shouted: "Password!"
"The moon is dark and the wind is high!"
The man in black said the command, took out a command arrow from his arms, and raised it high.
Ba Lisu nodded and asked: "Where is the fleet?"
"It has already departed from Fushi County and will arrive soon."
Ba Lisu immediately turned around and ordered: "Take the iron chain and go to the other side!"
The Jurchen cavalry immediately blew up dozens of sheepskin rafts, paddled to the other side, tied the iron chain to a big tree, and pulled up an iron chain to block the river. Dozens of skin rafts were hidden on both sides of the river.
About an hour later, a fleet of flat-bottomed cargo ships arrived in a mighty manner, with nearly a hundred ships in total. The rafts that were ambushed on both sides came out and boarded the big ship. Hundreds of Jurchen soldiers jumped on board to protect the ship. The Song soldiers were awakened and stood up to fight with the Jurchen soldiers. However, they were no match for the Jurchen cavalry. In just a few moments, most of the more than 100 Song soldiers were killed, and a dozen others jumped into the water to escape.
The Jurchen soldiers did not pursue them, but used knives to force the boatman to dock. There was an iron chain in front of him to block the boat. There were demonic Jurchen soldiers on the boat. The boatman had no choice but to dock the boat.
The Jurchen soldiers who were ambushing on the shore boarded the boats one after another to check. Not long after, a captain reported to Bali: "I am reporting to the captain, the information is true. It is all filled with kerosene, and each ship has hundreds of barrels." Kerosene.”
Ba Lisu nodded with satisfaction. At this time, another captain of thousands stepped forward and said: "Captain of thousands, since you are already here, why not go into the city and plunder it."
Ba Lisu glared at him, "Do you think this is Jiangnan and you can rob it at will? Fushi County has ten thousand soldiers, but the city cannot be taken, and the kerosene is lost. It would be strange if the commander doesn't skin you!"
The captain was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word, so he quickly shouted: "Take the fleet and set off!"
The iron chains were put away, and the fleet continued to set off under the escort of Jurchen soldiers, with cavalry following on the shore.
At this time, several cavalrymen threw a bag of silver to the man in black, "This is two thousand taels of silver. We Jurchens always mean what we say."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
When the fleet was far away, the man in black stabbed the boatman to death, took out a horse from the woods, took the silver and rode away at a gallop.
It was not until dawn the next day that Fushi County received news that the fleet was intercepted by Jurchen cavalry. Guard Wang Zhen led his troops to the scene of the accident, only to find the bodies of more than a hundred Song soldiers. The fleet and kerosene had disappeared. trace.
.........
Five days later, Chen Qing's fleet arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and Jiang Yanxian and Guan Shigu personally went outside the city to welcome Chen Qing back.
Chen Qing asked his soldiers to escort Yu Ying back to his home, and he got into a large carriage. These two people were in a hurry to find him, something big must have happened.
Guan Shigu sighed and said, "Just the night before yesterday, news came from Yanzhou that a Jurchen cavalry attacked Yanzhou and robbed 30,000 barrels of kerosene that were going to be transported to Jingzhao."
Chen Qing's face sank, the news came too suddenly.
"Where's Fushi County?"
"The other party did not go to Fushi County. It was still more than a hundred miles away from the county seat. According to the surviving soldiers, the other party stopped the fleet with iron chains and captured the entire fleet."
"Is there a traitor in the fleet?"
"There must be a traitor, but it doesn't have to be the fleet. It could also be a spy or the king of Fushi County. The purpose of the other party is very clear, which is to rob the kerosene."
Chen Qing was really annoyed. This was a big loophole and the other party had actually caught it.
"Go back to the government office first!" show_htm3();
