Chapter 153 King County
Li Ran did not delay any further on the way and went straight to Jinxian.
Jinxian County is not big, and from outside the city to outside the city, it is peaceful and peaceful, but it is not as lively as before.
The two managers who arrived in Jin County in advance had rented a very spacious house.
The two managers went out of the city to welcome Li Ran, followed by the car, half reported and half introduced:
When Jin County goes west, after half a day's road, he leaves the territory of the court, enters Shu, and after half a day's road, it is Yang County, the closest Shu area to the court.
The imperial army was pushed to Jinxian County. In the next 17 or 18 years, they were on guard against each other with Shu, at least from Jinxian to Yang County, but they were just patrolling each other, and they had never really taken any war.
During the past 17 or 8 years, both sides have turned a blind eye to the merchants coming and going.
Seventy or eighty-eight percent of the merchants and caravans who came and went from Shu to Shu to do business, from Yangxian to Jinxian.
Before leaving the court, if Jinxian had a good meal and sleep, and had sufficient energy and energy, the city gate would be opened and set off all the way.
After all, going further is the boundary. When you leave the boundary, it is the other party's boundary, and you have to catch up with the whole day in one go.
The merchants who came from Shu were well intensive in Yang County, held their energy and rushed to Jin County with one day, rushed to Guancheng Gate, and also took a good breath, took a break, and even celebrated.
After all, if you enter Jinxian safely, this business will be 70% or 80% successful.
Because of these caravans, Jinxian County has been very prosperous and lively in the past ten years.
Li Ran and his group had one or two hundred people. It was almost impossible to find a house with so many people in Jinxian Town.
But the fact that the court wanted to raise troops in Shu had spread in Jin County a month ago. After all, there were too many brightly armored court troops passing by Jin County.
Rich people can always perceive danger first.
In Jinxian County, the rich people who have accumulated wealth due to the prosperity of more than ten years have hurriedly packed up their luggage, packed up their wealth, and moved to Xiangyang and other places.
The house rented by the two managers is the house of one of the largest merchants in Jinxian County.
This family has earned enough money in the past ten years and has already established a house in Xiangyang Prefecture. When they heard that it was going to fight, they simply moved their family to Xiangyang Prefecture.
The owner had just moved away, and the two managers went day and night. Five or six days ago, they had already asked someone to clean up and clean it. Everything was ready in the house and was very clean.
Madam Sang, Zijia and others were busy cleaning and packing their luggage again. Li Ran and Zhou E called Tao Nong and took Wang Cui and Shen Mai to the county town.
The county town is very small, with a main street from west to east, but it is very wide and neat. There are almost two-story storefronts on both sides of the road, mostly inns and restaurants.
After walking halfway through the street, Zhou E suddenly sighed: "Jin County was slaughtered once."
"Hmm?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E in shock.
"I've heard of this." Tao Dandan and Dandan continued.
Wang Cui and Shen Mai were just alert to the surroundings, as if they had not heard Zhou E's words.
"It has been almost thirty years in the past twenty years. At that time, I had just become the commander of a thousand men. The capital was surrounded and it was very critical. I and several other commanders of a thousand men went out to recruit soldiers."
Zhou E held her hands behind her back, remained silent for a while, and sighed.
"At that time, all the way from Beijing to Jinxian, I saw only dead people but not living people.
About ten miles away from Jin County, I met a large group of men and women who fled. When I rushed over and asked to recruit soldiers, they were all willing, both men and women were willing.
I was surprised that this soldier had never been so easy to recruit. After asking, I found out that they were all from Jinxian County, and Jinxian had just been slaughtered.
I had just been in the army for a few years, and I heard about the massacre of the city all day long, but I never saw it before, so I wanted to see it.
After settling down the group of people, I asked several small schools to take them to rest in formation for a while. I rode my horse and ran over to see the massacre of the city.
It’s about ten miles away, it’s just a breath.”
Zhou E sighed deeply, Tao Nong glanced at her and rolled her eyes upwards.
"It's so miserable. It's still one or two miles away from the city. The smell of blood...ah!
At that time, I was young and wanted to see everything. Now, I can’t go and see anything. I have never heard of the word "Massacre" before!"
"Who did it?" Li Ran asked.
Not far ahead of her, the exquisite luxury of the Huanmen in front of a restaurant is no less than that of the Huanmen in Qingfeng Tower in the capital. She couldn't imagine what it would look like when the city was massacred.
"A small group of bandits, the leader is Hu Laosan, who is a porter, tall and fierce. When you get the opportunity, you first got a group of porters, but later you are more and more people. At the most, there were 20,000 to 30,000 people.
I organized the people recruited in Jinxian into a team.
After Hu Laosan slaughtered Jin County, he occupied Cao County next door, and called himself the emperor in Cao County, and brought all the women from Cao County to his palace from six to sixty.
A good Cao County was a disaster for two or three months, and even he couldn't stay there. With his full set of imperial carriages, the women in his harem chose a hundred young and beautiful young people with them, and killed the rest, saying that they were to keep their chastity for them!"
Zhou E spat violently.
"After the rescue of the capital, one time, by chance, I led my troops out on the way, I heard that Cao Laosan had four or five thousand people left, only a hundred miles away from us, so I...
Zhou E laughed dryly.
"After taking a little bit of the way, it can be considered as a revenge for the people in Jinxian County. Fortunately, the battle was smooth and I later won the merits."
Zhou E smiled dryly, "It was Mr. Li who said for me, saying that if I didn't go around, I would destroy Cao Laosan first. According to Cao Laosan's level of bastard, I might have a sneak attack behind my back and will cause us to be attacked from both sides."
"I heard that the general said you are a powerful general, but you can't be the commander?" Tao Nong glanced at Zhou E again.
"I don't want to be handsome! What's wrong?" Zhou E stared at Tao Nong.
Tao Nong Wangtian rolled his eyes and shouted.
"Being the head coach, you must be cold-blooded first. Everything can only be measured. Even if your father and mother are pushed to the front of the formation by the enemy, you can only watch it. It is best not to cry. I can't do this, and I don't want to do it.
Being the head coach is best to be like your prince, who doesn’t recognize his relatives…”
"How do you talk?" Tao Nong slapped Zhou E fiercely.
"This is right." Wang Cui turned his head and continued, "The Grand Marshal used to say that those who are in charge should be heart-warming."
"Pick a restaurant, go back after dinner?" Li Ran changed the topic.
"Go to that house!"
Tao Nong turned around and pointed to a restaurant she had just walked past.
"I have to take care of my eyesight when it comes to finding food. I tell you that on this street, the food is the best."
