Chapter 713 Famous Flowers Have Owners
Further south of Wurong Prefecture, there is only a Fengyi Prefecture between Hengshan Village. Until now, the defenders in Yongzhou have not seen any movement, which is obviously extremely abnormal.
Zhang Jue led a large army to the Wulang Prefecture, and the guards in Wulang Prefecture had already received the news.
In fact, for the entire Song Dynasty, he was just a miscellaneous general who could not be named.
Most of the ethnic minorities scattered throughout the Song Dynasty are still in the stage of autonomy, but they are on the surface of the Song Dynasty. They do not pay taxes or provide food, and the court has no reason to arrange high-ranking officials and generous salaries for them. Besides, with the road and small town structure like Wulan, if they die, they will be granted a ninth-rank military officer. These ethnic leaders are afraid that they will not look down on them.
A 20,000 army lies outside the northern gate of Wulangzhou.
At the city gate, the situation in Wulangzhou is similar to the towns in front of it.
The leaders of ethnic minorities in the town did not want to be a chariot, but the private soldiers in the town wanted to resist Zhang Jue's army.
In addition to the generals wearing armor, just as unexpectedly, a few luxurious leaders in their clothes were waiting at the gate of the village.
They looked at the Song Dynasty imperial guards who came with the rolling yellow dust, and their eyes were a little deep.
Money can make them defect to Zhao Bing, but it may not necessarily strengthen their courage. In the eyes of these minority leaders, the 20,000 imperial guards can definitely be regarded as military armor.
When they entered small towns such as Chengzhou and Wurongzhou, they raised only more than a thousand private soldiers.
Zhang Jue had just led the army to slowly reach dozens of meters in front of the city gate when an old leader shouted: "Welcome Marshal Zhang into the city!"
Immediately, the leader who called out really bowed down, and seemed to have great respect for Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue walked into the city step by step. He whispered to Zhao Dongting beside him: "Master, these guys are afraid that they want to attack them again after we arrive in Dehengshan Village. Fortunately, they have to act so warm and hospitable, which is really embarrassing them."
Zhao Dongting was wearing ordinary guard armor, not very conspicuous. The brim of the hat gently pressed his forehead, but only exposed his eyes below.
At this moment, there was a little complexity in these eyes.
Zhao Dongting murmured in a low voice, "In the more than ten villages along the way, no village can withstand the majestic pattern of our army. He guarded Hengshan Village and supported each other. If he set up such a formation, there should be the shadow of Zhao Bing. My younger brother is actually very talented. If he is willing to study hard, he will be of great use in the future. It would be a pity to be the emperor. He made such a choice, which would really be a waste of his kindness."
As he said that, he looked up at the plaque at the head of Wurongzhou City, "How can a mere cage for catching rabbits trap a lion?"
Zhang Jue, Jun Tianfang and others next to him were silent at first, then smiled without saying a word.
If the emperor said this, he must have won.
Zhang Jue exchanged cold greetings with several leaders of Wurongzhou at the city gate, and led a large army into the city.
Then in this Wulang Prefecture, we also encountered the same situation as those in the previous prefectures. Just after the autumn harvest, there was no reason for the city to lack food, but the army could not buy food with money.
Zhang Jue said to Zhao Dongting: "Emperor, if we don't sell grain to us in Yongzhou, then we are afraid that there will be a risk of food being cut off."
Zhao Dongting asked: "How long can the food be supported now?"
Zhang Jue replied: "When he set out from Luodian, he brought two months of grain, and he had never reduced the grain distribution. Until now, there is still one month of grain left."
Zhao Dongting nodded gently, "A month of food is enough."
On this day, the army passed by Wulang Prefecture and finally set up camp at the junction of Wulang Prefecture and Fengyi Prefecture.
Flowing.
Ahoucheng, Xilai Inn.
It was from August last year that the idle men who went to the roof to sneak a look at the owner of Xilai Inn drinking were quietly gone.
It’s not that he is dead, but now the boss’s wife no longer has the habit of drinking at the roof of the inn.
This disappointed the idle men in the city.
Ahou City lacks a beautiful scenery.
Someone secretly speculated that the boss's wife suddenly stopped drinking on the roof, and was afraid that she was captured by the strong young man who was a welcoming guest and a chef in the inn.
If not, why was the young man so diligent? So hardworking?
How could the proprietress suddenly become a good woman and no longer show up like that?
However, as time goes by, this matter is naturally gradually forgotten by the people in Ahou City.
Xiami Li Asi's craftsmanship is very good. Although the dishes they make may not be as elegant as the ones, they are not inferior to many gorgeous palace dishes in terms of taste.
Since he became a chef, he has also become famous as Xuan Xue, and the business of Xilai Inn has been booming and becoming more and more popular day after day.
Customers often complain that the food is too slow and ask the boss’s wife to hire some servants. However, the boss’s wife has not had this plan for a long time.
At this time, it was already almost night.
The guests of Xilai Inn had just dispersed.
Li Asi, who was so busy that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but looking at Xuan Xue, who was lowering her eyebrows and embroidering her red lips at the counter, she smiled again and then went to sweep the floor on her own.
Xuan Xue suddenly showed a pair of pretty phoenix eyes from behind the mirror and said, "Don't you know how to take a break?"
The voice was hoarse but soft, filled with strange temptation.
