Chapter 460

Raymond sent a fast horse to report to Linzi and ask for instructions. During this period, Xie Daokai and others were placed at the corner of the military camp.

Xie Daoyi requested to enter Jiangdu more than once, and the reply was refused again and again.

In other places, Xie Daoyi can stroll around. After all, there are many small hillsides around the camp. Even if you want to watch carefully, you can look from a distance. Jiangdu City is a very important military town. Strict control is inevitable, and it is also related to the safety and confidentiality of the Shuizhai. How can Xie Daokai go in.

After a lapse of six days, an instruction came from Linzi center, asking Raymond to send troops to escort Xie Daokai north.

"What do you mean you don't have to rush?" The person Raymond asked was Wang Meng. He said with a bitter smile: "recently, there have been many strange gangs around. It seems that the target is the little fine gentleman. There is another instruction from the center that you can't rush too quickly without laboring..."

Jiangdu City is an important military town. In fact, there are no ordinary people. Wang Meng will appear here because he personally escorts materials as the head of Guangling county.

Raymond knows who Wang Meng is. He doesn't despise Wang Meng because he is just a county magistrate. Besides giving a banquet, he also has some problems to solve.

"Wang's gate has been making trouble with Xie's gate recently. The news has spread all over the two sides of the great Jiangnan." Wang Meng has been a local official for less than three months. For the first time, he will naturally pay attention to everything. Otherwise, it should be the work of the county captain to escort materials. He knew why he was respected and was not proud. He wanted to make achievements and get real respect: "the aristocratic family has many disciples, including some eccentric people."

The custom of gathering and raising disciples has existed since the ancient pre-Qin period. Before, it was the house of princes to raise disciples. In the two Jin Dynasties, there was not so much attention. For example, some small family episodes can also be regarded as disciples.

South of the Yangtze River is the current situation of aristocratic family co governance. Aristocratic families often have thousands of private soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of private soldiers at most. In addition to private soldiers, the door lords and aristocratic families will cultivate warriors by themselves, and some dead soldiers will be selected from among the warriors. The dead are usually used as assassins. The wind of assassination is very popular in the situation of family co governance.

Raymond was depressed about how he could spread such a thing. He was clearly aware that someone should not let it happen on the premise that he was going to be unfavorable to Xie Daokai. He said to Wang Meng in embarrassment, "can you let Xiao Xijun hide in your team?"

Wang Meng understood Raymond's intention in an instant. It was nothing more than a plan to build a plank road and hide behind the scenes.

When the matter was settled, Raymond took Wang Meng to Xie Daokai's resting place, reported that he was allowed to see people and told the whole story.

"OK." Xie Daoyi answered first. He looked at Wang Meng curiously and asked, "are you the Wang Langjun who was deliberately searched by the king of Han Dynasty for two years?"

Liu Yan kept looking for Wang Meng for two years. Later, he found him with the help of the sangs. With this incident as a footnote, Wang Meng's reputation is actually bigger than he imagined. That is, as the country ruled by Liu Yan becomes bigger and stronger, the story is more mysterious.

When Wang Meng heard that question, he didn't have much special emotion. He greeted him politely and elegantly. Later, he said, "I have to wrong Xijun and dress up again. The entourage needs to be reduced to two."

It was agreed that Xie Daokai disguised himself and hid among a group of people who were going back to Guangling county. Xie Daoyi agreed directly without thinking about it. He thought it was very interesting.

After everything was ready, Raymond not only set up a suspicious array, but also six teams set out from the barracks to the north. Each looked like a team escorting Xie Daokai.

After leaving the barracks, the team went north in a separate way. The first attacked team was only less than six miles away from the barracks. The attacker just made a wave of temptation with a powerful crossbow and immediately retreated. Under the pursuit of the Han Army, none of them were caught. All the attacked fled through complex terrain.

The second attacked team was eleven miles away from the barracks. The attackers still tried to find the right team to charge. The Han army fought with the attackers for less than a moment, but the attackers retreated first.

The six teams in front and back were attacked in different places. According to the casualties, the Han army was killed and injured more than the attackers, which made Raymond frown for two or three days.

In fact, the army has no advantage over people with martial arts skills in small-scale conflicts. The soldiers used the open and close moves above the battle array. They said that either the enemy died or I died under one attack. The reason why Samurai are called samurai is that they are good at playing in small-scale fighting after long-term martial arts training, but if they go to the battlefield, their survival rate will not be much higher than that of soldiers, just because there is not so much room for samurai to play in the battlefield.

"It's rampant!" Raymond received the news that the attackers were up to 50 or 60 people, and a few were 20 or 30 people, each carrying a strong crossbow. He said to Wang Meng, "there were two or three hundred people stopped along the Yangtze River, and there were probably so many people who didn't stop. Wang's gate valve did a lot this time."

Without investigating the origin of the attacker, the number is really quite large. Generally, if you are injured and can't escape after the attack, you will kill yourself. When the Han Army checked the body, it found that the attacker's face had been disfigured, and there was no clue to track his identity.

"It must be the people who have Wang's clan, and it must be fueled by other aristocratic families." Wang Meng felt strange that the attackers looked very fierce, but only a few seemed to want to kill, and the others were not so firm: "things are more complicated than we thought."

Wang and Xie have made a lot of noise recently, but they are limited to the mutual abuse of public opinion. The two sides have maintained great restraint and did not stage a family private fight.

Raymond has a task and wants to complete the instructions of the center. The starting point is to protect Xie Daokai and arrive in Linzi.

Although Wang Meng attaches importance to it, there are not so many limitations. He can think from many aspects of the overall situation. He can understand that Wang and Xie really have a feud. The question is whether the two sides want to fight, and how many aristocratic families want to benefit from this event.

The Han Army wantonly stationed troops along the Yangtze River. The situation in the south of the Yangtze River has changed greatly. Except that the families including the four gate valve can't find channels at all, otherwise none of them didn't send their children north. They have been testing the Han's attitude towards the southern aristocratic families.

People who want to fish in troubled waters always exist under the chaos. Raymond ignored some details. Wang Meng read the war report but found a problem. It is only one thing to attack and kill true or false, and the key is the traces of fighting in many places.

"Xie's door valve must have someone secretly." Wang Meng thought on his face and said something that made Raymond confused: "can you think in other directions? For example, everything is just the southern aristocratic family. It will cause the greatest movement, make Xie Xijun known all over the world, and also attract the king's greatest attention?"

"It seems like something like this." Raymond said in a daze, "it seems very abnormal that every team has been attacked."

In order to test the inference, Raymond sent several teams successively, and set traps based on the action of the previous attacker. Without exception, those teams were attacked again, but this time they jumped into a far more perfect trap than the previous one. Most of the attackers were either killed or committed suicide, but there were attackers who were captured with attempted suicide.

After four days of torture, Raymond was not so happy when the answer came out, but more angry.

"They don't really want to kill Xie Xijun, they just want to make a big noise." Raymond could not praise the correctness of Wang Meng's guess in advance and could not suppress his anger. "They killed more than 200 people, and we killed and injured more than 300 soldiers just to cause enough noise!"

"The aristocratic family never takes human life seriously, especially the lives of their subordinates." Wang Meng also added that human life in troubled times is the most worthless. He said, "now that we know what's going on, we'll leave tomorrow?"

The angry Raymond thought about how to retaliate, but he dared not disturb the overall layout of the military. He could only bite his teeth. If he killed the South Bank of the Yangtze River, he would have to cut the aristocratic families hard and let them taste the taste of death.

Guangling county is under the jurisdiction of Guangling County, and the county capital is Huaiyin City. It has 1400 households and a population of more than 6000. Guangling, as a county seat, lives in 3000, and the rest are scattered in various villages.

At this moment, Xie Daokai sat on a carriage that was originally loaded with grain but was now empty. Because there was no special attention, the carriage looked a little dirty. She didn't mind wearing coarse linen clothes. She sat on the dry weeds and leaned against the edge of the carriage with both hands to watch the scenery along the way.

In winter, after a few snows in Huaiyin, the land in the wilderness is covered with white snow. At a glance, it is not completely silver. There is snow in some places and not in some places. It looks like the fur of a big spotted dog on a large scale.

Xie Daoyu, who was dressed in coarse linen, had no gorgeous hairstyle on her head. She was tied with a very ordinary horsetail and shook with her small head looking left and right.

There were five or six hundred people in Guangling County who went to Jiangdu with the county magistrate Wang Meng to transport supplies. Except for some Qiang men and Youjiao in the county government, they were basically people who served corvee.

The escorting sergeants arranged in Jiangdu are all cavalry soldiers who do not need to play in the initial stage of the next war.

With an obvious escort posture, they are almost arriving in Guangling county. They have not been attacked even once, but they don't know whether it is the Han Army in Jiangdu who is searching and cleaning the place, or the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Raymond is really annoyed by the Southern Door lords and aristocratic families. He can't send troops to land on the south bank. Instead, he can send troops to explore the surrounding areas. If he feels suspicious, he will inquire.

The action of the Han Army in Jiangdu was too big, which caused the shock of the Jin army on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. The joint effect was that the Jin army on the south bank also began to move around, but the action of the army on both sides of the Strait did not know what kind of situation change it would cause.

The wooden wheels rolled along the slightly muddy road. Many carriages walked in the middle of the road, with people walking and cavalry riding on both sides.

"So you are from Yangzhou?" Xie Daoyi often chatted with the people. Although she was wearing burlap, others saw that she had a strong temperament. At first, she was cautious and unwilling to chat. After a long time of coexistence, plus she didn't have any arrogance, she gradually could chat happily: "how's life? Can you eat?"

Chatting with Xie Daokai are several young men who look very green. Their willingness to get closer to Xie Daokai is purely due to their nature of getting closer to beauty.

"Yes, yes." The sixth in a Liu's family is 14 years old. Although he is the sixth, he is actually the only child left in his family. Some brothers and sisters died early, and some died in corvee service. There is only one mother left. He said shyly, "compared with the past, now we are living a fairy life. We only hope to be a few years older, work hard for the king who has a good life, earn five acres of land, and be lucky to have a title."

"Have ambition, good ambition." Xie Daoyi said and became confused: "but aren't you the only child in the family? If there's anything, what can I do?"

Ah Liu was dumb for a moment.

"A big man will be promising only if he enters the army." Lin Li is also a half boy. With an expression full of longing, he said: "everyone wants to fight for the king..."

At this time, ah Liu finally found some words and interrupted: "the little stone next door joined the army and got five mu of land. Usually, the government sends slaves to help farming..."

The language organization ability of several young men is a little chaotic. Xie Daokai picked out some special fragments from many words to the effect that men want to change their life destiny in the Han Dynasty. For people who don't know big characters and have no special skills, the best, fastest and most convenient channel is to join the army.

Later, Xie Daoyi found Wang Meng and said bluntly, "can you stay in Guangling for a period of time?"

Wang Meng is talking with the county assistant about how to arrange farming and water sources after the spring. When he saw Xie Daokai coming, he didn't expect to come directly to intervene.

Gao Ping, the Marquis on horseback, immediately looked at Wang Meng. The sign he got was to ensure Xie Daokai's safety. At the same time, unless he received a new order, he would slowly send people to Linzi.

"Fine gentleman is the body of freedom." Wang Meng had no right to interfere with what Xie Daokai thought and did. He looked at Gao Ping and then said to Xie Daokai, "you should ask Gao junhou about your schedule."

Xie Daoyi immediately looked at Gao Ping and walked slowly, but he didn't speak.

"It will snow again in the near future..." Gao Ping said gently, "you can stay in Guangling for some time."

Xie Daoyi saluted and thanked, turned to a group of young men, didn't know what to say, and attracted a burst of low cheers from the young men
