    Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 37 Panic After the heavy rain, near Tanzhou, there was a scene of bright sunshine.  The warm spring sun shines on everyone who has experienced the harsh winter last year, making people feel so comfortable that they almost fall asleep.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  As for the adults, it has been some time since they escaped from the center of chaos to this safe place, and their tense nerves have naturally relaxed, and they can chat and laugh with each other.  Women in each family are preparing wild vegetables and firewood. Although there is a porridge every day, and the collected wild vegetables and bark are mixed together, it can barely keep people alive.  While the women worked, the men looked at the spring plowing scene near Tanzhou and talked to each other about the fields left behind at home. They hoped that the chaos in Yan would be settled soon and wondered if they could return to their hometowns to catch up with the end of spring plowing.  .  No matter whether they are optimistic or pessimistic about the future, everyone has the same sentiment. When they arrive in Tanzhou, the life of their family is likely to be saved at the junction of the slum area, and the black market that has formed spontaneously has begun to gradually become noisy.  After escaping, there were still some small belongings around me, and they were all scrounging through the black market.  After a few days of stability, the man in charge has to take care of his face.  Most of the time, women are holding their belongings there, hoping to exchange them for something more affordable.  Around these refugee villages, the Tanzhou garrison troops also set up a small camp to monitor them and prevent them from causing chaos.  The defenders in the camp were lazily patrolling the refugee village in units of one soldier and one soldier.  Every person who fled would respectfully make way for them, giving them courtesy on the way.  In other places, these men with weapons in their hands were the source of trouble, but in Tanzhou, these soldiers and horses gave them a way to survive. The only open north gate of Tanzhou was still heavily guarded at this time.  Inside and outside the city moat, at the opening of the city gate, and at the archery crenellations on the city wall, there were figures patrolling everywhere.  Groups of carriages and horses came in and out through the only opening, rarely stopping for a moment.  In the era of cold weapons, a team of 5,000 men and more than 10,000 horses were supported.  There were two to three thousand accompanying army officers, hundreds of vehicles in the logistics queue, and thousands of troops pulling livestock.  The supply power required is unimaginably large. On this kind of road, an ox cart can only carry seven to eight hundred kilograms, and a donkey can carry less than two hundred kilograms, which is enough to support the sky.  If there were not enough animals, people would have to carry them on their backs. The journey of two hundred miles would take three or four days, and they would have to eat a lot on the way.  It can only be achieved through scale.  Without hundreds of large livestock, coupled with the transportation of tens of thousands of civilians, it would definitely not be able to sustain it.  A few days ago, so many people were sent to the front that almost all the people¡¯s chariots and horses prepared in the city were able to carry them.  Tanzhou City suddenly felt a lot empty.  Most of the grain and grass reserves were also gone. The army needed to eat every day, and some of it had to be reserved in the frontline camp for emergencies.  In addition, the tens of thousands of civilians themselves will also be consumed during the journey.  The supplies, mainly grain and grass, that Xiao Yan and Fang Teng had painstakingly accumulated in Tanzhou before the war were gone as fast as running water.  Even though Fang Teng attaches great importance to the safety of Tanzhou, at this time he has to continuously collect grain, grass and horse materials from the surrounding dock walls, as well as civilians who are ready to use them.  In Fang Teng's calculation, one more addition would be more than enough to last until this mess is over.  Although the surrounding Wubi Fortress is protected by Xiao Yanfangteng and can be regarded as a combination of interests to a certain extent, it really can't return much this year.  He was based in Tanzhou and was in charge of the logistics. Once he had something in hand, Xiao Yan would fight at the front, so that the morale of the army would be stable and he could deal with things calmly.  So these days, the north gate has been opened since dawn, and the city gate is not closed until after dark.  Even if the opening hours are extended in this way, there will still be many teams of people and horses spending the night outside the city every day.  When they saw the city gate closed, everyone complained.  There were troops and horses guarding the city gate. Under Fang Teng's strict orders, every team that brought food and grass must be carefully inspected, which made the entry into the city twice as slow.  Compared with the people and horses leaving the city, the teams transporting food, grass and baggage to Xiao Yan all marched in large groups and completed the journey in one go.  However, the teams transporting grain, grass, baggage and civilians from various places were scattered in units based on Wubi Fort Village, and they had to be checked every time, which was even more troublesome.  Due to various reasons, a temporary camp-like gathering was formed outside the north gate of Tanzhou.  The people's transport teams that came from various Wubi fortresses gathered together in response to the order.  Those who are familiar with each other can chat and joke together, eat some solid food and wait.  If they had seen each other die in blood before, they couldn't get together, and from time to time there would be small disputes and fights, which required the troops and horses on duty at the door to allocate manpower to maintain order.  People who wait for a long time will inevitably get angry.  It's afternoon today, and it seems that the city gate can't be opened for two hours.  There were more teams entering the city than usual, and the hustle and bustleThe chaos became more severe, and there were more disputes.  The leader of the army and horses who was responsible for checking them outside the trench, a small officer from the right wing of Shenwu Changsheng Army, was already sweating profusely from running around. At this time, he couldn't help but curse: "Straight bitch, if you can open another one  How good should the city gate be? It¡¯s so quiet around Tanzhou, and there is a large team of us guarding it, so Counselor Fang is a little more careful" "Of course, we can only whisper these complaints.  Not only did Mr. Xiao Fang in Tanzhou City win the trust of Xiao Xuan, although he looked like a white-faced scholar, he was also somewhat decisive in killing.  You must know that he was the first to stand up to those Jurchens in Tanzhou City that day. His orders were serious, and all violations were punished by military law, without exception.  No matter how irritated I am, I can only carefully check every person coming by, not daring to relax at all.  Just when he was getting angry and had to suppress himself, one of his subordinates had already run to his side and pointed to the way he came from: "Dutou, another group of chariots and horses and civilians are coming, look at it." The one who led the Yidu Infantry Army  The young officer looked up and saw smoke and dust swirling in the direction he came from. I am afraid that a team of three to four hundred people was meandering towards here.  There are more than a dozen bullock carts in the team, all of which are heavily loaded.  There were actually five or six horse-drawn vehicles.  The peasants all looked young and strong, pushing hundreds of handcarts, all of which were full of goods.  At that moment, the young officer took a breath of cold air: "Damn it, how long will this door be blocked again?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The convoy slowly arrived at the city gate under the gaze of everyone.  Sakon.  Even though the other docks came in response to the draft, they had no choice but to come. The Tanzhou army and horses were stationed in the place where Anjingyan was in trouble, so that the place could have a stable life, not to mention that many of their children also joined the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  The most outstanding ones were chosen by Xiao Yan to be admitted to the Mink Hat City.  Tanzhou had requests, and they could only comply within their capabilities.  But you will never be able to exert your full strength. If the food costs one hundred dan, you will be given sixty or seventy dan.  If you want ten thousand bunches of fodder, give me five or six thousand.  The peasants said they wanted 200 young men, so they came up with more than 100, and there were dozens of old and weak people among them.  But this team is all young and strong.  Food and fodder are fully prepared, amounting to about two to three hundred stones.  The road was filled with dust and smoke.  Everyone was sweating profusely as they walked, and they stopped the car after pushing down this crowded place, wiping their sweat away.  At the front of the motorcade, there was a cyan recognition flag.  But it was Fang Teng who sent it to all the nearby Wubi Forts who were willing to join that day.  Those who knew something among the crowd would discuss it in low voices.  "It's the left wall of Wujiabao. This Wujiabao is just a little better than the top but more than the bottom. But this time they are trying so hard to fawn over. I don't know how much they have to give away." "I don't know what their plans are, so.  There is plenty of food and fodder, so they are living off the wind before the autumn grain comes. " "It's hard to say, our fort is close to Tanzhou, although it has been quiet recently, but the governor of Tanzhou has strictly ordered that we can't fight ourselves.  It is difficult for everyone to make a fortune. Wujiabao is located outside and is closest to Yanjing. When the chaos breaks out, those who escape here will have to pass through their sieve first, let alone how much wealth they will make.  He said that if the rebel army is defeated, everything will be in it" "That's true. Now that the fortune is big, we have to work hard to curry favor with him. Last time I heard that Wujiabao had three disciples.  In the Shenwu Changsheng Army, Xiao Xuanzan has no right to be around him. Now that his fortune is big, he wants to go further. If he doesn't fawn over now, when will he fawn over?  What Xiao Dutou was thinking.  He squinted his eyes and stepped forward, still thinking in his mind that this Wujiabao was indeed quite courageous.  This slap in the face is really a slap in the face.  Maybe it would catch Senator Fang's eye and give them some benefit.  In this case, you have to be more polite.  He walked to the front of the Wujiapu motorcade and spotted a horse-drawn cart at a glance. He patted the horse pulling the cart and said with a smile: "Such a tall horse can even be used as a war horse. Let you use it to pull the cart."  "I'm really at a loss." This carriage was walking at the front with a recognition flag, and the grain was piled high on the carriage.  The team was led by an old man who was sitting on a pile of grain just now, and there were several young men guarding him.  It's no wonder that during the journey of more than a hundred miles, who knows whether he will encounter some stragglers from the rebel army, and it is normal for some young men to guard them with weapons.  Not to mention that the weapons in the hands of these young men looked quite crude. They were only used for self-defense in the countryside, not as military weapons.  When the old man came over, he had already jumped down under the escort of young men, and went up to him with a smile on his face.  First, he presented the pair of cards to Nadutou for inspection, and then accompanied himHe said: "Where do we know the horses? It's just that the dispersed rebel army came to us and captured these horses. We don't need these for our fields, so we might as well send them to the lords of Tanzhou."  Here, it can also be put to a serious use" Nadu Touqian looked at the cards. If there was any order from Tanzhou, he would use the Chuanqi to issue the cards to the walls of various docks, which were inlaid with chisels and painted black.  , there is also a charge, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a counterfeit.  The old man was there laughing with him, but Du Tou responded casually: "I fought a few hard battles with Xuanzan, and now I still have two legs. It's so easy for you to seize the good horse. I will disarm you someday."  , I will also go to your Wujiapu to settle down" The old man had beads of sweat on his face, but for some reason he had no time to dry it.  Falling straight down with a splash, he looked back at the young man behind him, and said with a smile on his face: "Hundreds of hoes and dung forks are pushing up, what can those few scattered rebels do? It's just the luck of the little people.  Okay General, this pair of cards is correct I need 200 stones of grain, 10,000 bunches of grass, and 300 young people. We only dare to do more, not less. Please check it, General.  That¡¯s it.¡± After checking the cards, Na Dutou said with a smile: ¡°The inspection is a matter of the city¡¯s treasury, but it is not my responsibility.  After staying up for a few nights, he came to scold me again." He joked a little and prepared to let the Wujiabao team wait in line behind.  The old man looked back, not knowing whose signal he got, and bravely stepped forward, approached Nadu and said: "General, let us go first into the city. Speaking of our fortress, we will also take out the  Everyone, please take a look, sir. Is there any family that can compare with ours? I'm afraid they will be jealous and stay out for a few nights, do anything to us, cause us some trouble, and then cause chaos.  Get up General, are we the castle masters who are so flattering this time because we want to get a favor from Mr.  I have picked up, this time there are several more relatives and descendants who are waiting to be praised and promoted Please take care of everything." He covered other people's eyes with his head, took out a heavy bag from his arms and handed it to  That's all in the hands.  Dutou weighed it subconsciously and murmured in his heart that Wujiabao had really made a lot of money this time. However, Dutou still didn't dare to take the property.  Now Councilor Fang is in Tanzhou and has strict restrictions on everything.  The city gate is a critical point. If you accept bribes and disrupt the ranks, you won't be able to bear the consequences when the time comes.  But the old man's words to please Xiao Xuanzan moved his mind.  These days, Counselor Fang pays close attention to the safety of the city gate.  Once we watch carefully, less baggage can be brought into the city and stored in the warehouse every day.  Time dragged on, and it finally fell on his head?  The left wing cavalry of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army has been reorganized, and everyone has their own position.  The infantry on the right side of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army has not yet been reorganized, and I still want to move upward.  The teams in other dock walls are scattered. Even if three or two families are allowed in, they still can't keep up with the Wujiabao family. Today, Wujiabao is going in, and it will take more food and supplies to go into the warehouse than before.  I dare not think about the credit, but the crime is much less.  Even if you think of some benefits, wait until the old man leaves the city and returns to the castle to pay the order, and then make friends with him to see if you can find some tea money.  At that time, it will just be a matter of friendship, not personal misdirection.  He pulled away a little, threw the bag back into his hand in front of everyone, and snorted: "Brother, please don't hurt me." Before the old man could say anything, he waved his hand and ordered: "First  "Inspecting the Wujiapu carriage and horse team." The people from various Wubibao villages who were watching the excitement suddenly burst out into an uproar. They were the first ones to arrive. They all threw back bribes. It was when they were so selfless that they didn't care about them.  In the midst of the commotion, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Are you getting hot? Look at how many young people Wujiabao has sent this time. You are a household with a 20% discount. In these troubled times, if it weren't for us, Xiao Xuanzan, you would  How can there be such a stable life? How many days can we settle down and be choked one by one? If we move around Yanjing, those Wubi forts begging for help and begging us can¡¯t praise them. They all wait honestly and don¡¯t cause trouble.¡±  At the commander's order, a dozen infantry soldiers immediately stepped forward to check, identify the faces, and see if there was anything dangerous hidden on top of the chariots and horses.  There was a change in Xiao Yan's place. How could such news be communicated to these lowest level soldiers?  Tanzhou has been extremely stable these days, and it is still far away from Yanjing.  After all, people are human, and even if Fang Teng gives repeated orders, he cannot always face a formidable enemy.  Wujiabao had transported grain, grass and baggage to Tanzhou in the past. These soldiers had been stationed in Tanzhou for a long time and had never been transferred back to Yanjing for reorganization.  I also recognized a few acquaintances.  However, I don¡¯t know if they were tired from the journey, but everyone just wiped away their sweat and had no intention of coming forward to say hello.  The search was also to check the carts pulled by ox-horses to see if there were any weapons or fire starters.  Hundreds of carsThe car needs to be inspected, so how long will it take for it to be inspected?  After a relatively serious inspection, everyone came back to report: "It's right that the people from Wujiapu are coming, and there is nothing important to interfere with things. The food and fodder are sufficient. This time Wujiapu's horses  Shit, that¡¯s a pretty good shot.¡± ??I checked both the cards and the flags, and checked them again.  At this time, what else is there to say?  Dutou waved his hand, and his soldiers cleared the way.  I also wanted to send a message in the trench.  The Tanzhou trench is wide and deep, and they have been carrying heavy loads recently, so they simply built a wooden bridge over the trench.  However, the wooden bridge was cut off in the middle, and a movable suspension bridge deck was hung, which was more than a foot long. A roller was set up at the head of the wooden bridge in the ditch.  After hearing the message from one side, the other side lowered the suspension bridge.  The Wujiabao convoy slowly moved towards the wooden bridge.  What makes this boss a little dissatisfied is that the old man who led the team seemed to be in a daze after he let them go.  He stiffly got on the front carriage, motionless.  Seeing him like this, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to count on tea money for the return trip. Dutou cursed secretly in his heart, turned around and walked away.  Just at this moment, a grown-up figure seemed to pass by.  He didn't know why, but it just made his heart skip a beat. When he looked back, he was already covered by other young men pushing trolleys.  The person who passed by Nadu was Dong Dalang. He was pushing a trolley and covering his head with a broken hat.  As he approached the wooden bridge, he raised his head and glanced at the Tanzhou city wall in front of him. His eyes were full of crazy light ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is also a warning at the north entrance of Danzhou.  However, after the inspection and release outside the Qazhai, things became more relaxed here.  This is all human psychology, not that the defenders really slacked off to any extent.  Sitting at the gate of the city, there is also a captain leading the team.  He held the sword on his waist and casually glanced at the team slowly entering the city.  Everything was as usual, but it was fine in the past, but later on, it started to feel more and more wrong.  Among these hundreds of young men, there are always some who are sweating profusely as they pass by.  This kind of profuse sweating is different from being tired.  But these young and strong people all had green and pale faces, and they looked a bit like the panic after a weak heart. At this time, the cart in front was almost finished, and the trolley team followed up.  Everyone yelled: "They're all here, let me check." He didn't shout, just to himself. As soon as he shouted, one of the young men pushing the trolley fell down and knelt down, crying: "Our family, how can we?"  They are still in their hands, General, we were forced to come here." The cries started, and before even that person could react, a grown man had already opened the bundle of grass on the trolley, and with his right hand  A door bolt looks like an iron mace, but his right hand is holding a scull and shield.  He took a step forward and shouted: "We're already here, let's kill him and turn the whole world upside down for this straight mother-in-law and thief." In the midst of the shouts, this grown man had already smashed Nadu's head into pieces with one blow of his mace.  The broken hat fell to the ground on his head, revealing a ferocious scarred face, but it was not Dong Dalang ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A large group of hundreds of riders galloped on the road leading to Tanzhou.  Since setting off last night, we have been running for ten hours.  Xiao Yan was at the front of the team, gritting his teeth and riding his horse without saying a word.  Xiao Yan and Ri Ri have been living on horseback for most of the past six months.  The equestrian skills are quite impressive, although they are far from being comparable to those of real experts.  However, riding a horse like this can basically hold up. Sometimes Xiao Yan himself wonders if his legs are a little bowed or something like that.  Traveling here, he really suffered a lot from his slender and straight breasts But at this moment, he was completely no longer in the mood to occasionally make fun of her in his spare time.  His face was as gloomy as iron, but he couldn't help but urge the horse on his crotch.  His two walking horses were carefully selected from the army. Although they were not as good as Yue Fei's black horse, they were still one of a million.  He had already changed horses once, and now the mount was so tired that he was sweating profusely and foaming at the mouth.  The horse's girth tightened again and again.  All the athletes under Xiao Yan's command were able to walk and endure the fight. They had been traveling almost non-stop for ten hours, and they all couldn't bear it. God knows how Xiao Yan managed to survive until now. Although Niu Gao was careless, he also knew that Xiao Yan  The current situation was not right. He gritted his teeth and urged his mount again, and he drove up to the bridle level with Xiao Yan. He said loudly: "Xuan Zan, take a rest first and let the horse take a breath. The man can endure it, but the horse cannot." Xiao Yan turned his head,  Staring at him fiercely: "How far is it from Tanzhou?" Although Niu Gao did not have the military talent of Yue Fei, he was still familiar with this matter.  ?He immediately replied loudly: "In less than thirty miles, we will be able to reach Tanzhou as soon as it gets dark." At this time, Xiao Yan could already feel that his mount was getting tired.  Although there is a horse that can be exchanged, and although the mount is empty, it is still galloping all the way here with the reins held by someone, and the horse power is not necessarily that strong.  If the mounts are all useless, it will be delayed to get to Tanzhou.  He didn't say anything, gritted his teeth and pulled the reins, and the horseman stood up.  Xiao Yan hugged the horse's neck and waited for the horse's hooves to hit the ground before turning over and dismounting.  Niu Gao then reined in his horse, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around to say hello: "Everyone dismount, give your mounts a drink, tighten your girdles, take a deep breath, and then we'll hit the road." There were all guards in mink hats behind him, and the conductor  The light cavalry all turned over and dismounted.  Each takes care of his mount.  Niu Gao took a tour to learn about his own military situation.  More than five hundred people and more than a thousand war horses.  There are more than a hundred horses that have been injured and unable to hold back their sweat. At this time, they can no longer be used as war horses and can only pull carts and transport goods.  It is not easy to accumulate these mounts for the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, and the ones selected into the army are even more carefully chosen.  In the entire Song Dynasty, it is impossible to find a hundred horses that can keep up with these mounts in the army.  Niu Gao is now also a cavalryman, and a good horse is where the battle strength lies, so how can he not feel distressed.  But looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, Niu Gao didn't dare to say a word. He just ordered the horses to be left behind, leaving three or two people to take care of them to see if they could save something.  Of course Xiao Yan didn't have to take care of his mount. He sat silently on a stone, his face still the same, looking in the direction of Tanzhou, his brows furrowed.  Niu Gao walked over cautiously and lowered his voice as low as possible: "Xuanzan, nothing will happen to Tanzhou. That pretty face of Counselor Fang is almost the same as you Xuanzan. They both look smart. No matter what  As for suffering a loss, my brother told me not to let Xuanzan take risks. When the time comes, Xuanzan, you can't be ahead  ? Want to praise you for going to Baba to save her? If we don¡¯t kill her, we will remember the friendship we rushed into battle together that day.¡± Niu Gao tried his best to restrain himself in the first few words, and his words were still decent.  After the next few words, he couldn't control his big mouth and started talking nonsense.  Even though Xiao Yan was full of worries, he couldn't help but tell him and became angry and happy.  For people of this era, a woman is indeed of no importance.  Even regarding my current career, what I do seems to be a bit unprofessional.  But only by doing this did Xiao Yan feel more at ease.  Instead of always dreaming of that stubborn and cold girl's face every night. No matter how I grow up, I try my best to integrate into this era.  After all, there are some things that are different from people of this era If you don't do this yourself.  Then you will regret it for the rest of your life.  Since a man should behave in a life-long manner, then when it comes to Guo Rong, don't let yourself regret it. Xiao Yan let out a long sigh, and didn't know what to say to Niu Gao, so he simply waved his hand to drive him away.  This guy just doesn't understand what's going on.  Wait for Zhang Xian to come back and kick him back to lead the troops, so as not to make yourself half angry when he opens his mouth.  He glanced at Tanzhou again. On the way, he had already met another large group of troops transporting grain to the army.  Fang Teng's two commanding cavalry troops were all escorting the baggage team.  Currently, there are only less than a thousand infantry troops guarding Tanzhou City.  Now is the most empty time. Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly leading his troops back to Tanzhou, everyone in the escorting army and horses was alarmed.  He thought something had happened in Tanzhou, so Xiao Yan didn't have time to say anything to them. He just asked them to quickly transport the food, grass and baggage into the army without disturbing them.  Then he continued on his way.  I hope nothing happens in Tanzhou when I rush there. No matter what common sense is used to infer, it is impossible for Dong Dalang to capture Tanzhou.  However, Xiao Yan has dealt with Dong Dalang a lot. It is not possible to use common sense to infer this stubborn and defiant Dong Dalang.  If he really panics Tanzhou to a certain extent, Fang Teng will really kill Guo Rong without hesitation. Xiao Yan no longer expects a future with Guo Rong. He only hopes that this tragic situation will last a lifetime.  The biggest misfortune is to meet your stubborn girl. It is enough to live in peace. Guo Rong Guo Rong, before I come, you must not have any accidents bk
