Chapter 187 The mob is in chaos at Jinghu Lake, and there are sages in the mountains
At night, Yang Lin changed his clothes back and was about to leave the palace. Zhao Fujin just leaned against the table and looked at the man faintly. In fact, like many ordinary men, he could not resist the temptation of beautiful women. Yang Lin already had many beautiful women, but he tried harder to regain his mind, but he never had enough perseverance.
"Can't you take me with you?"
Of course, the devil in Yang Lin wanted to do this, but he just told him rationally that it would not work, at least not yet.
"There is a war in the south, and there are many bandits along the way. You look like a fairy, and I'm not at ease with you." Yang Lin tried to speak more playful and acted more relaxedly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it in the next moment.
"But aren't you Yang Zaixing, who is invincible in power? Even thousands of troops can't stop you, and you can't protect me, a little girl."
Yang Lin squatted in front of Zhao Fujin, held her hands seriously, and looked into her eyes very seriously: "I promise, I will come back to pick you up, I don't want you to get any harm."
After leaving the palace gate, there were a lot of people waiting for him at the agreed place. After a few greetings, Ma Ling urged Yang Lin to return to Linzhou. Of course, according to the overall situation, Yang Lin was indeed not suitable to take risks outside, but he was determined to go to the south. This time he finally came out, nothing was done, and he had to go back again, which was really hard to accept.
He heard Shi Xiu tell the battle situation in the south again, which further aroused Yang Lin's interest.
"My two brother-in-law and Tong Guan are now going to Muzhou. Where is Yue Fei now?"
Shi Xiu replied: "Pengju has never been to the battlefield since he stopped in Jiangbei. Now Fang La is in the jar, so he doesn't need him anymore. I heard that Pengju was not good at junctions with Xin Xingzong, Wang Xie and Fan Qiong among the generals on the east road. He was afraid that he was jealous and hated. Now he has been transferred to Liu Wei's position."
This is better. Liu Fu, brave and scheming, loyal and upright. After Liu Fa died in the battle, the position was temporarily replaced by Liu Fu. Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan to attack Liao, and Liu Fu moved to Hebei according to the order. Fang La raised an uprising, and Tong Guan was ordered to fight south. Liu Fu was alienated from the Tong clan's clan, so he was left in Hebei. A Fei followed him, which was considered to be following the right person.
The next day, regardless of Ma Ling's request, Yang Lin insisted on going south, clicking on the six people Di Chu, Jiao Ting, Shi Jin, Wu Song, Yuan Lang, and Shan Shiqi. He asked Shi Xiu to take Wang Lan and Gao Lin to the front station, and then followed him to Jinghu.
When we arrived in Anzhou, we heard that the recent mobs of Jinghu generation disrupted the place one after another. To the south of Anzhou is Hanyang, to the west is Fuzhou, then Jiangling Prefecture, to the east is Ezhou, and then Huaixi boundary. During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Biao first occupied Jingzhou, then became Liu Bei's territory, and then became Cao Wei's territory. This place, which runs through the north and south, guards the east and west, and guards the Yangtze River, is a very important strategic focus.
Moreover, the mountains, rivers and rivers here are intersecting, which is a place for military use, but it is also a good place for bandits to hide. During the Duan brothers and sisters' time, the government was unable to eliminate them. After the Duan family, more tenacious Ma brothers occupied them. Because the Ma brothers were unfair in the government and their families were destroyed, they hated the imperial court. Now the imperial court is using military service in the north and south, and is powerless to ignore the bandits in Jingzhou.
If it weren't for Xiao Jiasui's efforts to protect the people, I'm afraid the Ma family would have fought to Jiangling Prefecture long ago. It was Xiao Jiasui who defended Mianyang that prevented the Ma brothers from spreading poison to various parts of Jingzhou.
"Master, let's go to Mianyang to find Xiao Jiasui first, or to Hanyang to find the Ma brothers?"
In fact, Yang Lin also thought about this question. If the Ma brothers were really heroes, they would have made friends with each other, but if they were also bandits, there would be no need. And these things are not credible when they listen to the one-sided words of the parties involved. Only by listening to the evaluations of local people can they be accurate.
"Go to Mianyang, Xiao Jiasui can organize the village heroes to fight against the bandit army. This is the only time I go out, it is worth my visit."
Yang Lin's eyes and ears are all over the country, and Xiao Jiasui is an open-minded person and has no worries about not being able to find it. The Mianshui area is convenient to irrigate and farming is developed. As long as it is not a year of floods and floods, the people here will still have a wealthy life.
After the officials in Jinghu changed their blood, they did not agree with Xiao Jiasui's temperament, so he also stopped communicating with those bureaucrats. Now he is just studying and working in his own village, and his family is happy.
Before Yang Lin and others entered the village, a whistle went back to report the situation to Baozheng and Xiao Jiasui.
"Eight or nine strong men riding horses? They also have weapons?" Bao Zheng looked dark. Wherever the bandits went, there were only thirty or fifty or fifty or fifty or tens of thousands or tens of thousands. Why are there so many people this time? Are they here to check in?
Then Bao Zheng looked at the calm Xiao Jiasui, who said, "No matter who it is, since he has weapons, he will secretly gather all the strong men and let the old, young, women and children hide in the cellar, so that they should be fast."
Yang Lin, who entered the village, gradually became better. The village was not special at first glance. People who understand the knowledge could see at a glance that the village was arranged in the outside and inside as a marching camp.
There are light and dark posts ten miles outside the village, and there are hidden archers on the straw stack at the entrance of the village. The roads in the village are arranged in an orderly manner according to the rules and the connections are just right. Most of the houses are not rammed earth and bamboo and wood structures, but there are more bricks and stones. This increases the sturdyness of street fighting and enhances the villagers' self-protection.
After walking along the way, except for some livestock, the other villagers were basically male, elderly, women and children.
"Master, why are there all men in this village? Is it a bachelor's village?" Shan Shiqi consciously touched the iron stick on his back, teasing the villagers.
Shi Jin, Wu Song, Yuan Lang, Jiao Ting, Wang Lan, and Gao Lin each rode silently around Yang Lin, looking alert. Shi Xiu walked in the front, saw that something was wrong, and quickly got off the horse, took off the ring knife from his waist and hung it on the saddle, and then went forward to say hello.
"Brother, please ask, does Mr. Xiao Jiasui live in this village?"
The man curled up on a millstone with a shovel under his butt. When Shi Xiu clasped his fists at him, he clearly saw the calluses on Shi Xiu's mouth and huge knuckles.
The man did not answer, but stared at Shi Xiu blankly. Shi Xiu smiled and looked real, without any strangeness. Seeing that the man was not speaking, Shi Xiu turned his head to ask a slightly older grade: "Lao Jia, Mr. Xiao, do you know him?"
During these two questions, Yang Lin and his men were surrounded by villagers from all directions. Village Zhuang held various handles in his hands, and there were several short bows made of earthen on the roof. The intersections were each close to each other to form a corner. If they were ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to rush out.
Shi Xiu stopped asking for directions and came back to catch the knife in his hand. The rest of the people also drew weapons and set them up in the plum blossom formation.
At this time, a man in his forties and a man in his thirties walked out. The older one had rough leather, messy beard, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and thick shoulders, and he looked like a farmer who had been working all year round. The younger ones had a firm face, glossy eyes, smooth short beards under the jaw, and his clothes were not gorgeous, but they were neat. A sharp copper hairpin on his head pressed his hair firmly and meticulously. The important thing is that his hands were not like others, he was holding farm tools, and he was holding a long sword. The simple scabbard still seemed to be unable to cover the sharp sword body inside.
While Yang Lin was observing him, he was also very calm in Yang Lin's eyes. Yang Lin turned over and dismounted, and walked towards him with his fist in his arms: "I heard for a long time that Mr. Xiao is a noble man in Jingzhou. As the saying goes, it is better to meet than to be famous. Meeting is even better than to be famous."
Xiao Jiasui's face did not change and said politely: "Xiao's reputation is here, so you can laugh at me, don't you ask?"
"The surname is Lin, and the single name is "Yi".
Xiao Jiasui nodded slightly and introduced the man beside Yang Lin: "This is Baozheng He Youshen from our village."
He Baozheng received Xiao Jiasui's hint, so he waved his hand and signaled the villagers to retreat for the time being. He and Xiao Jiasui led Yang Lin and his group to the pavilion next to the drying yard to sit.
"There is no good tea in the countryside, so guests will eat it." Bao Zheng was very polite. Yang Lin didn't care whether the tea was good or bad. He brought the local tea bowl and sifted two bowls before putting it down.
"Since the guest is here to find Mr. He, then Mr. He, will not disturb him. If the guest has any needs, call me again."
After Baozheng left, Yang Lin stood up and saluted Xiao Jiasui and said, "There are so many people who are looking for it. Yang Lin is not convenient to tell him in his real name. Please understand."
"Young Master Xiao also knows the name of Xiao for a long time. Today I am honored to see him. But Xiao is a village man in the mountains and wild areas, and is vulgar and stupid, and it is really not worthy of your son's journey."
"Hahahaha, why should you belittle yourself? Mr. Weiwei, noble character, kindness, integrity and caring for the world, is really a rare talent in the world. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the arrangements in this village, I am afraid that many generals in the court today will not be able to fiddle with them."
