Fu Song

Chapter 39 White Horse
On the road, the knights rode their horses galloping. Although there were only a dozen or so people, their momentum was not small.Some people who know how to look at these running knights are surprised.

The road is very wide, and many pedestrians saw horses galloping from a distance, and avoided them early. These knights could ride in parallel, but they were lined up in a straight line, between the head and the tail of the horse. Only two steps away.

It's nice and seems simple.

But in the eyes of experts, this is extraordinary.

It was even more surprising when the knights got closer.

The warhorse that a knight in the head was riding was black, and there was not a single stray hair to be seen. What was rare was that the height at the shoulders was at least five feet.The more than ten knights behind him, each riding a war horse, are mostly close to five feet. Although it is not comparable to the leader, it is also a rare good horse.

Such horses, even in places like Bianliang, are rare, and at least every horse should be worth more than a hundred.

You must know that a shoulder height of more than four feet five inches is a rare good horse in the Song Dynasty.

Look at these people again, although they don't have helmets or armor, they all hang knives and bows, and have guns and crossbows.

These people are all soldiers, but I don't know if they are soldiers there, and they look so mighty.

This group of people is naturally Xiao Ding and Xiao Changqing, who are returning home.

The last time he returned to Beijing was two years ago. At that time, his son had just been born and was still in swaddling clothes.

Xiao Ding suddenly reined in his horse, the warhorse under his crotch neighed, his hoofs lifted, the man stood up, and then fell heavily to the ground, his huge hoofs stepped on the ground, causing smoke and dust everywhere.The more than ten cavalry in the back also restrained their horses at the same time, and the more than ten horses also stood up in unison. Unlike Xiao Ding at the front, the horses in the back turned to the left in unison after the people stood up. Turning an angle, it fell to the ground.

More than a dozen rides at the same time come to such an action, which is very dazzling.

Pedestrians who avoided the roadside clapped involuntarily.

Although I don't have a good impression of being a soldier, such a team is still pleasing to the eye.

"Control, what happened?" Team leader He Zheng rode his horse forward, walked to Xiao Ding's side, and asked.

Xiao Ding's whip pointed to a boundary marker on the road in front of him, and said, "In front of you is Baima County."

"Oh!" He Zheng nodded dazedly. He is a real person. He has never left Hebei Road in his life. How can he know what a white horse or a black horse is.

For the same reason, the cavalry behind him, who were also from Hebei Road, also fixedly watched their control, and really didn't know what was unusual about the white horse.Along the way, they have seen countless boundary monuments, and they have not seen the control specifically say a word.

"A very famous place! Do you know Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang?"

"I don't know!" The answer was equally neat.

Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing.

The soldiers behind them fought fiercely one by one, but unfortunately they were all illiterate and did not read. Naturally, they did not know Guan Yu, the famous general of the Shu Kingdom, and Guan Yunchang.

"It was in the white horse that Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, and Wanjun took the head of the enemy general Yan Liang, causing the enemy army to be in chaos, thus breaking the siege of the white horse in one fell swoop. This is the place." Xiao Ding said roughly.

Speaking of this, He Zheng and others were interested.

They are soldiers, and naturally worship those brave warriors.

Many people think this is just an exaggeration, but these people know that this is really possible.

Because once an army collapses, it is useless no matter how many people there are.It's really not impossible to be killed by a fighter out of ten thousand people.

Of course, if the opponent's army is well-organized, such a thing is basically a joke.

"Today, we will rest in the white horse for the night!" Looking up at the sky, Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Just in time to pay homage to Guan Yunchang's heroic spirit, we will leave tomorrow. Tonight, I hope you have a good drink, but Next, when we arrive at Gyeonggi Road, we will have to restrain ourselves, that is at the feet of the emperor, and we must not lose our sense."

"Thank you for your control!" Over a dozen sergeants were overjoyed.

On this road, I was in a hurry, and at night, I was lucky. If there was an inn, I would go to the inn to rest.

Although it is said that the road is not peaceful, who would dare to make up their minds as a group of them?
And this kind of windy meal and sleeping in the open, for them, it is also a common thing, but it is not a hardship.

However, this is similar to the way of marching forward, and naturally it is not enough to eat and drink.The control promised to drink well tonight, which is naturally full of joy.

As for the matter of paying tribute to Guan Yunchang, that is something that only controls are interested in, and they still think it is more interesting to have a big drink.

Seeing the excited expressions of everyone, Xiao Ding smiled and knew what these people were thinking.

He is going to invite everyone to eat and drink tonight, even if he is drunk.On the way, hurry up and hurry, in fact, it is all for your own selfishness.

Because I want to go home early.

When they really arrived in Bianliang City, they didn't dare to let them drink too much.

They are all men in the army, full of vigor and fiery, and all of them are warriors on the battlefield. If you really want to get drunk and make a little trouble in that kind of place, it will not end well.

If not here, please drink well. After entering Beijing, everyone has to put their tails up and be human.

Bianliang is not as free as Beijiang, and everything has to be restrained, especially people like them are envied by others, and I don't know how many people are watching them secretly. It's coming.If something really wants to happen, it will definitely make a big fuss and make the sky full of wind and rain.

This point, Xiao Ding thought very clearly.

And when he was leaving, King Jing Zhao Zheke also warned him again and again.

Slowing down the speed of the horse, Xiao Ding walked slowly, looking back at his subordinates who were beaming with joy, and couldn't help but laugh.In fact, the white horse is not only about Yun Chang's beheading of Yan Liang, but also the disaster of the white horse that is closer to now.

In the second year of Tianyou at the end of Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen was in Baimayi. After listening to the words of Li Zhen, he beheaded Zuo Pu She Pei Shu, the Qing Navy Jiedu Du Gu returned to the loss, right servant Cui Yuan, As well as more than [-] people in the so-called Qing Dynasty, such as the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, and their corpses were thrown into the river, which is known as the disaster of the white horse.

But these people don't even know about Guan Yunchang, let alone this matter.

But these people can get drunk at night, but they can't.

Baima is the seat of Huazhou, and it is also where Wu Chengjun is located.It’s fine if I don’t stay overnight here. Since I’m here, I’m going to go to the festival to see the Jiedu envoys in Tianzhou. It’s one thing if others don’t see it, but if I don’t post it, it’s the same thing. excuse me.Maybe it will make people feel that they despise him, and inexplicably forge some hatred.

Although it is said that he is now in control of the northern border, the officialdom is so strange sometimes, and it is impossible to know when to bump into each other.If you really want people to have a pimple in their hearts, it will be troublesome at that time.

With his own background, he is naturally not afraid.

But there's also no need to put a barrier on top of these things.

This is the difference between a military general like Xiao Ding, who is from everyone, and the general military general. The education they received from childhood made them have a more delicate mind than ordinary generals.

Seeing the city gate from a distance, Xiao Ding took the lead in dismounting.

These people came with knives and arrows on horseback, and at first glance, they were not ordinary people. Those sergeants who guarded the gates were not nervous!

In fact, just as Xiao Ding had guessed, from a distance, he saw soldiers hurriedly gathering at the city gate.

The response was good. In a place like Northwest Beijing Road, the soldiers could still have such a response, and the response was really good, but it made Xiao Ding look at Wu Chengjun with admiration.

Xiao Ding knew exactly what the Great Song army was like.

Even in the northern border, many troops are not good-looking. The ones who can really fight are the generals' own troops. For other troops, it is good to fight against the wind, but it is difficult to say against the wind.

However, in terms of overall quality, the army in Northern Xinjiang is still the strongest in the country.

After all, in that place, everyone still has to think about their own lives, and the exploitation of soldiers is much better than the mainland.

He signaled to He Zhengxing to go forward alone and hand over the items to prove his identity, while the rest walked slowly.

After He Zheng negotiated clearly with the people, there was obviously a sigh of relief, but a person who looked like a team leader came up with He Zheng in a hurry.

"I've seen Xiao Tongzhi!" The team generals were all smiles: "I saw Lu Bu Feijie a few days ago, but Xiao Tongzhi has greatly grown the prestige of my emperor Song! I, Wu Chengjun, up and down, are full of admiration! I wish I could take my place and kill a few Liao dogs!"

Xiao Ding smiled and nodded as a salute: "It's just a fluke. I will guard the frontier and guard against the Liao dogs. You are stationed in the local area and keep one side safe. You are all loyal to the country!"

Being held by Xiao Ding, the team general laughed until his mouth was crooked.

Who is Xiao Ding?A dignified commander-level general can talk to one of his mediocre generals in a friendly manner, which is a great honor.Moreover, Xiao Ding is not an ordinary control, there is still an old man who is the third secretary!
No wonder people can be such a big official and treat people so kindly!Unlike his immediate boss, but a mere lieutenant, he treats himself like a servant at home.

"Control please, does the control need to send someone to show you the way?" he asked flatteringly.

"No need!" Xiao Ding waved his hand, "Although I haven't come back for more than two years, I'm still very familiar with this place. Go ahead and do your own thing!"

"Yes, yes!" The team general nodded again and again, instructing his subordinates to drive the people who were entering the city to one side, and let Xiao Ding and others enter the city first.

After entering the city, Xiao Ding walked all the way to the post house.

He was an official, and he entered Beijing by edict, and he could live in the official post no matter where he was.
