Chapter 45, Encounter on a Narrow Road

"Catch these three rotten women!" Zhou Dayong remained calm and waved directly to the three team members to control the three women. The other two team members followed at the same time and were already standing behind the fifth concubine. "Old woman

, now I'll give you a chance to explain clearly what's going on!" Zhou Dayong looked reckless, but he didn't believe the fifth concubine's words: "Three heads to six sides, explain the matter clearly!" With a plop, the old lady gave

Zhou Dayong knelt down: "Your Majesty, Kang Pinqing is my distant nephew. He said that he is looking for a concubine. She needs to be beautiful and educated. I said that our boss's lady is very good-looking and talented. She can play chess, calligraphy and painting.

Everything makes sense. I really didn’t know Kang Pinqing was a bad person!”

"I'm not a mountain king, let alone a bandit!" Zhou Dazhao said without hesitation: "Tell me about your own business, how come your boss was killed!" "After Kang Pinqing met the young lady, he left the young lady to accompany him that night.

Stay overnight. The young lady refused to agree, so Kang Pinqing sent people to arrest the boss and his wife. Later, later..." After hearing the old woman's explanation for a long time, Zhou Dayong immediately became angry: "Why are you hesitating?

Say it quickly!" The old woman was frightened by Zhou Dayong and immediately opened her mouth and said: "Then we took off the lady's clothes and tied her to the bed! We didn't do it on purpose, Kang Pinqing forced us to do it."

The fifth aunt asked in a dark voice: "Why did Kang Pinqing force you?" The old woman said in an almost inaudible voice: "He gave us a gold bar!" "Very good, a gold bar made you betray your conscience!

"Zhou Dayong sneered: "There are still shameless people like you in the world, that's great!" "Girl, don't worry!" Zhou Dayong turned back to the fifth concubine and said: "Kang Pinqing won't live long, tomorrow afternoon.

The date of his death! These three unconscionable things, I will let them be beaten to death by gold bars! As for taking away the workers you said, I want to see the situation. We have no plan to attack the Khitan iron mines this time.

.Leave you some money, that’s not a problem.”

"I don't need you to attack the iron mine!" The fifth aunt shook her head and said, "If you come, I will definitely run away. However, I can take you to the nearest iron mine. There are only four people guarding the workers there. As long as you can

Kill those four guys and you can take the workers away." When Zhou Dayong heard that there were only four people guarding him, he immediately said: "Okay, I agree to your request!" The fifth aunt did not tell lies and immediately took Zhou Dayong with her.

Dayong opened a cover under the stairs, revealing an underground secret room.

"This secret room does not belong to Kang Pinqing, but was made by the Khitans. It is said that they are preparing some reserves, as if something big is about to happen. There are many wooden boxes piled inside, and I don't know what they are. I think, since they are the things of the Khitans

, you should be interested!" Hearing that it was something belonging to the Khitans, Zhou Dayong immediately became excited: "Come on, come down and see what the Khitans want to do!"

After the two team members went down, they quickly came up and reported: "Report to the squad leader, there are all weapons below! Twenty boxes of bows and arrows, twenty machine crossbows, fifty boxes of long guns. One box of hand crossbows, and twenty boxes of hand crossbows and arrows."

There are five boxes of gold bars and three big boxes of silver." "Very good, let's take three gold bars and send these three bad guys on their way!" Zhou Dayong waved his hand and dismissed the team member, then turned to ask the fifth concubine: "Girl,

how much money do you need?"

The fifth aunt watched indifferently as the old woman and the two maids were dragged out, and then she said: "I can't carry any more. Two gold bars and a hundred taels of silver are enough."

"Originally, our Song Dynasty Anti-Corruption Team must ensure that everything seized is returned to the public, but the girl's situation is special, so I will decide to give the girl ten gold bars." Zhou Dayong shook his head and said: "Two gold bars won't last long.

The girl is going out alone, so it's better to bring more money." "Zhou Dayong, what are you still dawdling about?" Yang Tong didn't come in, but her voice had already arrived: "Don't you know you need to retreat immediately?"

When Zhou Dayong heard Yang Tong's voice, he was immediately overjoyed: "The deputy captain came just in time, there is still a list of things that you need to decide here!" Yang Tong came in and listened to Zhou Dayong's report, and frowned slightly: "That's it, you guys from the second class are here.

We went down to rescue the laborers, and the first group left with the loot. We had to act quickly. Once discovered by the Khitans, it would be too late to regret it!" Fortunately, each of Kang Pinqing's stores has its own carts, and all the carts can be loaded with five trailers.

Full of goods, the Zhan Jin Kingdom escorted the car first and retreated, rushing to the direction of mounting the horse overnight.

Hurrying slowly all the way, we finally crossed Shangma Town and arrived at Houshanliang at noon the next day. Because everyone had not slept all night, Yang Tong decided to take a rest on the mountain ridge and eat some dry food. Unexpectedly, it did not take long, and the southeast direction

There was a faint sound of gunfire. "No, the battle on Zhang Xiang's side is not over yet, and we have encountered huge difficulties!" Yang Tong took out his flintlock gun and shouted: "Leave five people behind."

One team member will guard the cart, and the others will follow me to support the captain!"

As a result, they had just rushed down the hillside when more than ten people stumbled in front of them at the foot of the mountain. Not far behind, Zhang Xiang took the lead and chased after them. Yang Tong was also experienced in battles and remained calm in the face of danger: "Everyone, don't rush to the top. Hurry up.

Spread out and take cover, and catch them off guard!" The fleeing enemies never thought that there would be an ambush in this ghost place! When they climbed halfway up the mountain, two crossbows had just found a blocking place, and suddenly in the grass

Save a dozen people and knock all these enemies to the ground!

These dozen enemies were already exhausted. The only thing they could think of was that the terrain here was favorable and they could gain some buffering time. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly killed by a group of fresh troops, and all of them were captured alive! Wait until Zhang Xiang

Arriving there, the battle here has ended. It's too late to ask anything now. A few people nodded and Zhang Xiang immediately ordered: "Take the prisoners, retreat immediately, and return to the Eagle's Beak!"

The security squad led by Yang Erya did not participate in chasing the enemy, because there were still six large trucks on the battlefield that needed to be monitored. Fortunately, everyone had experienced several battles, and no matter the male or female team members, they had no discomfort with cleaning the battlefield. Now seven

The weather was too hot, and the corpses could not be left out in the open. Shi Liancheng and Cui Saner took great pains to dig out two large holes with pickaxes, and then simply buried the enemy's corpses.

When Zhang Xiang and others returned to the Three Stones Battlefield, Yang Erya and the others had just finished cleaning up the battlefield. Two war horses had been recovered, but unfortunately five of the twelve mules were killed. After the two sides met, they totaled,

There were a total of forty enemies, twenty-nine of whom were killed on the spot, and eleven captured as prisoners. During the ambush, two team members were killed, one was seriously injured, and thirteen were slightly injured.

After the two sides reported the situation, Zhang Xiang found out why Zhou Dayong's second shift did not return, so he quickly ordered Yang Erya to take people to respond. Zhang Xiang sat down and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's easier than last time in Yingzhou!

Kang Pinqing took everyone away, and there was no one left behind who could even use a bow and arrow. Because we lived in the Sanxian Inn, which was one of Kang Pinqing's properties. In the evening we tied up the shopkeeper and the waiter.

Just leave one person to guard it, and that's it. The others will be divided into three groups and work separately. Let the deputy detachment leader tell you the specific harvest, I want to drink water."

Yang Tong's face was ugly, and he was obviously worried: "The harvest is naturally huge, but most of it is weapons. According to the fifth concubine, these weapons were hidden in their house by the Khitan people a few days ago. The weapons of the Khitan people

It’s so strange not to put it in your own warehouse but to hide it somewhere else!”

"Preliminary statistics show that this is the equipment of a centurion team. There are 3,651,810,000 taels of silver and 520 gold bars." "Oh, that's right! The fifth aunt took away ten gold bars, just like last time. Others

All I have is a few boxes of clothing, sheepskin shoes and the like, I don’t dare to bring big things.” “It’s not just your side, the situation is the same here!” Yang Tong continued: “From the first car to the fourth car, all

They are all weapons!

"In addition, the fifth cart is all made of cloth, satin and jewelry, and there is also an exquisite sandalwood box. The sixth cart has six boxes. Among them, three boxes contain 240,000 taels of silver, and three boxes contain 480 gold bars! Still fighting.

Four crossbows and two horses were seized. The sixth cart was all filled with delicacies and other food." Zhang Xiang was not excited when he heard these data, but became a little worried. Because he knew that the Xintun garrison was the vanguard. It seems that

The Khitans are indeed operating according to their original ideas, and a large number of weapons have begun to be scattered and hoarded. It seems that they have been planning to go south for a long time.

"Everyone, it is obvious that the weapons we seized this time are enough to equip two Khitan centurions and three Ergouzi centurions!" Zhang Xiang broke everyone's doubts: "You should know that the Youzhou incident was caused by the Khitan people themselves

It was done just to find an excuse to go south to the Central Plains. Naturally, there must be an explanation for this matter." That night, the bodies of the two soldiers were buried on a high slope facing the sun, and everyone's grief and indignation turned into anger.

He demanded that all the prisoners be taken to the grave and executed.

"Everyone, my feelings are the same as yours. However, we can't just kill him. Don't you think this time is weird? At least ask clearly." Zhang Xiang stopped everyone's impulse: "The Khitan people

Don’t you want to know what they want to do with so many munitions hidden? They put the shit basin on our heads, should we just let it go?"

"Of course, our brothers can't die in vain!" Zhang Xiang changed the subject: "Liu Zhiliang, bring Kang Pinqing and his men to prison!" Kang Pinqing and his four men had been tied up long ago, and Liu Zhiliang received them

After giving the order, they immediately sent people to push them over, and they all knelt down at the graves of the martyrs.

"Kang Pinqing, King of Hell Kang!" Zhang Xiang said with a sinister smile: "Hey, hey, so evil! So majestic! There are no less than ten thousand workers in the Song Dynasty who died directly at your hands. I didn't wrong you, did I? Give it to you now

One option is, if you tell me clearly about the Khitan people’s hidden arms, I will let you suffer less! Come here, cut off the heads of his four little brats first, and pay homage to our brothers!"

Kang Pinqing frowned: "The Khitans gave me a villa as a reward for my merits. They moved the weapons in and said they would be used in the near future. I don't know where they will be used. This time

It's a lie to wish my old father a birthday, but it's real to take the opportunity to recruit people and form a special force. I only know so much, I can kill or behead him as I please."

"Very good! Very good! When you are about to die, you should pay back the Khitans, and the Khitans will keep yelling. They are really worse than pigs and dogs!" Zhang Xiang took out a piece of white paper that had been prepared long ago, and then read loudly: "

It has been verified that Kang Pinqing, one of the four leaders of the Qianjinzhai Iron Mine in Youzhou, is known as the Living King of Hell. In the past ten years or so, he has regarded thieves as his father and harmed his compatriots in the Song Dynasty. In order to please his Khitan masters and earn for himself the hard-earned money of laborers, some

In the recent Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of people were tortured to death! In order to appease the souls of the victims in heaven and restore justice between heaven and earth, the anti-corruption team of the Song Dynasty sentenced Kang Pinqing and his subordinates to death, beheaded them on the spot, and executed them immediately!"

After executing Kang Pinqing and returning to the temporary detention place, the team members brought out the Khitan general. Before Zhang Xiang could ask questions, the Khitan general shouted: "What kind of work are you doing? Let me go back to my work! Otherwise, our big boss will

The Khitans of the Liao Kingdom will not forgive you!" "Fuck you Khitan dogs!" Zhang Xiang was furious: "Answer my question honestly, otherwise, you will die!"

"I'm an iron ore craftsman, I'm not a soldier! I'm here to help you develop mineral resources in the Song Dynasty!" "Nonsense! You Khitan dogs are just a bunch of robbers!" Zhang Xiang yelled: "You guys are taking over.

Our Song Dynasty steals our mineral resources and has the nerve to help us develop it! The iron ore you dig out every year is brought back to your barren north, and you have not given us Song Dynasty a penny.

?”

"You are dehumanizing and treat the miners of the Song Dynasty as the most despicable tools. How many mass graves are created every year? There are piles of corpses and bones in Dongshanggou of Qianjinzhai Iron Mine. Is it you bastards who did it? Answer my question quickly.

!What are you doing at Kangjiataizi this time?" "Ours only does the work of the big guys, and we don't care about the workers. We have nothing to do with the death of your workers! You should look for the big guys to work, come to me.

It shouldn’t be. I am a craftsman who works with iron, and it has nothing to do with me!”

In the end, Zhang Xiang was so angry that he didn't bother to ask. He quickly sent someone to send the Khitan dogs back, and gave each Khitan dog a bowl of porridge to prevent them from starving to death. Then after thinking about it for a while, he wrote two letters. He turned around and asked Yang

Erya came to find her and told her to do this. Yang Erya followed the order and left. There were too many things this time. There were eleven carts in total. Without Kaifeng's weapons, there were two centurions' equipment, and the money

There are several carts of gold bars and gold bars. If these things are left in the wild, everyone is worried. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster.

"Sister, it's been dark for a while now." Zhang Xiang called Yang Tong aside and said: "Leave the weapons captured on the battlefield and other things. You have to work hard and lead the guards to send back the wounded and supplies overnight.

Tianjing New City. Walk quietly and put a crossbow on the car. If you encounter a suspicious person on the road, you will shoot and kill him immediately. Of course, once things are absolutely necessary, your life is the first priority. Remember? You must

Give me something good!"

"Commander, don't worry, I will send the things back safely!" Yang Tong said and left. "Report to the captain, Zhan Jinguo and the others have returned, and they have brought many workers! You hurry over and come." Huang Qiaoyun said sweetly.

The cry came at just the right time, waking Zhang Xiang out of his daze, as if a spring dream came true.

Returning to the temporary station, Zhang Xiang has returned to normal: "Where are the Zhan Jin people, how is the situation?" Huang Qiaoyun said anxiously: "Go down and take a look. There are still more than 700 workers, all skin and bones, unable to complete the human shape.

"But it's worrying us to death." "Let's go! Let's go over and take a look. These people are all our brothers and sisters!" Zhang Xiang stood up immediately: "Qiaoyun, hurry up and organize people to make porridge!"

Yang Erya said from the side: "Look how anxious you are! You don't have to say anything about this matter, Liu Zhiliang is not a man who works for a living! The laborers have already eaten it!" When he came to the platform under the olecranon recess, Zhang Xiang

He saw a mass of black people, squatting or sitting, wolfing down porridge. Through the dim light from the surrounding torches, Zhang Xiang saw that all these people had sunken eye sockets and shriveled cheeks. Their dry fingers were like a few dry sticks. If

If it doesn't move, it's just like a mummy, with no muscles visible at all!

Zhang Xiang also had this deep imprint in his memory. This scene instantly touched his heartstrings, and tears flowed down his eyes. Walking among the people, he said with a trembling voice: "Don't worry, everyone, there is plenty of porridge."

.However, you should just eat half full. After an hour, we can eat again! If you eat too much, it will be bad for your health!"

When Zhan Jinguo saw Zhang Xiang and others walking into the crowd, he immediately said loudly: "Young and old gentlemen, our division commander came to visit you. It was they who gave the order that led us to rescue you! You always thanked me along the way,

In fact, what you should be grateful to is our teacher!" Upon hearing this, the workers quickly put down their jobs and kowtowed on the ground.

"What are you doing? Get up! Everyone, get up and eat!" Zhang Xiang was in a panic for a while, not knowing what to do. He just kept saying: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as you stay with us, you will have enough to eat, so don't worry!"

It is said that Xiaoguantun was put under martial law the next day, and team leader Ye Qianyanchuan led the Khitan people to conduct house-to-house searches. They were busy for most of the day and found nothing. Several large carts of weapons stored in Kang Pinqing's house were also missing. Then they found the Song Dynasty on the street.

The announcement from the anti-trafficking team revealed that Kang Pinqing and his forces had been completely killed! More than 700 workers in the iron mine burned down the greenhouse and all fled. Currently, the mine cannot start work and production has come to a standstill. In addition, when Kang Pinqing arrived in Kang,

The Khitan craftsmen inspected by Jiataizi disappeared.

Early in the morning, the Eighth Prince took Mrs. She, Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo and others to the official hall of Tianjing New City to visit Yang Peng. Before they arrived at the official hall, he saw Yang Peng taking Lin Qing'er, Huyan Chijin, Du Jin'e, and Yang Bamei

, Yang Jiumei and her entourage were waiting for the Eighth Prince and his entourage at the door. The Eighth Prince and the others were at the door. Yang Peng stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to the Eighth Prince and them, "I didn't expect the Eighth Prince to come to our small place in person. You have worked hard all the way. Please come inside," Yang Peng

He walked up to Mrs. She and said, "Juniors don't know that Mrs. She is here in person and didn't go out of the city to greet her. I hope the elders won't blame me. Please forgive me for missing you."

Lin Qing'er walked up to Mrs. She, her eyes were red, and said, "Sister, thank you for your hard work. Please forgive me if I didn't do well." Mrs. She said, "Qing'er, you have accepted a good apprentice.

It's not easy. You can build such a big city just by relying on your own group of people. It's amazing, it's amazing, it's not easy. You have done a good job. How many people in the Song Dynasty have a chance to survive under your protection? You

It is a great merit and virtue!" Lin Qing'er also greeted Hua Jieyu and Zhou Yungjing, and they all entered the official hall together.

Everyone sat down in the official hall, divided into primary and secondary seats. Yang Peng said, "I don't know what the Eighth Prince has to say this time. Please tell me. We will not stand idly by if we can help, because we are all Han people and do not distinguish between each other."

"Haha," the Eighth Prince said, "First, I came to see your strength. The main thing is about the Queen Mother Xiao hunting in Jinyang. I don't know what you think."

Yang Peng said to the Eighth Prince, "The Queen Mother Xiao's hunting trip is a conspiracy against Yang Liulang. This time they joined forces with Xixia to kill Liulang along the way. Don't go to Jinyang this time.

Once the Song Dynasty loses Liulang, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia will send troops together, and the Song Dynasty will move its capital. This time, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia will send troops in three directions. There will be 100,000 troops in Jinyang and all the way south. There will be 150,000 troops in Xixia.

The horses also went all the way south. The 200,000 soldiers and horses here in Youzhou went all the way south. As long as something happened to Liu Lang, they would send troops south together in a month. What would the Song Dynasty do to resist? In the battle of Xiongzhou, it was because of Taishi Pan’s selfishness that the Song Dynasty

The leading military generals were left with no talent and their hearts were lost. Emperor Taizong was deliberately partial, coupled with the policy of the Song Dynasty, which emphasized culture over military affairs, and the morale of the army was lost. Last time, my incompetent thing said that the Eighth Prince, please don’t go there.

In my heart, that guy is only seventeen years old and is just ignorant. I am here to compensate you."

Kou Zhun said, "Your intelligence work is so detailed, it's not easy!" Yang Peng said, "We have established Jinyiwei here, mainly to be responsible for military intelligence work, and to monitor corruption issues among officials. A national intelligence work can only

It is the top priority. If the intelligence work is not done well, half of the war has been lost. This time we raided the Khitan iron mines and gained nearly one million taels of silver. It is because the intelligence work was done well."

What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
