I want to be a grandson

Chapter 351
"My lord, I'm afraid something happened at the station!"

Bao Zhao and the others were rushing on their way by the light of the moon. As they walked, Li Cheng turned around to check, and said suddenly.

Bao Zhao also turned his head, and saw many torches surrounding the station, and he could faintly hear the voice of calling!
This is obviously not a postman at the post station, nor is it something that can happen normally!

If something happened to the post station, it would represent the people of the Kong family to take action!

They are so insane and unscrupulous!
Bao Zhao felt very chilled, his goodwill towards the Kong family had long since disappeared, and now they have done such a thing of contempt for the court, it is simply lawless!
The current Baozhao is full of loathing and hatred!

Li Cheng said to several followers: "Throw away all the irrelevant things, lighten the burden on the horses, and keep quiet!"

At one command, they threw all their belongings on the ground to reduce weight.

Everyone knew that there would be a fierce battle in the future. At this time, there should be no burden. If the speed of the horse was faster, there would be a chance of success.

And he took out a wooden core and put it in his mouth to prevent it from making a sound.

Li Cheng said to Bao Zhao: "My lord, they will catch up in a short time, we have to hurry!"

Bao Zhao nodded and said: "Let's go! No matter what, we must protect these champions to enter Beijing safely!"

Several people kicked the horse's belly, speeding up the march.

Li Cheng ordered: "Zhang Houzi, hurry to the guard in front, and ask them to send troops to meet them, don't spare the horsepower!"

Zhang Houzi is relatively small and thin. He was also a scout before, so he is familiar with tipping off messages and traveling at night.

Because there was a wooden core in his mouth, Zhang Houzi nodded and saluted. He rode his horse and raised his whip, making a dull sound, and the horse galloped away in pain.

Only scouts would gallop at night and hurry on their way quickly, because they had a mission and the news they conveyed was of great importance.

So even if there is a danger of stumbling, I don't care about it now!

But for Bao Zhao and others, there is no need to take such a big risk unless it is absolutely necessary, but in any case, the speed of the horse will be greatly increased.

After Hu Wanshan and others found that the station was empty, they immediately led their minions to chase after them on horseback.

The reason why bandits and robbers such as "thieves" appeared in Shandong was because the Yellow River flooded here many times, causing farmland to be flooded and villages to be destroyed.
The people couldn't survive, so they became bandits and robbers.

In addition, there are several mountains in Shandong, and a large area is mountainous, which is more convenient for bandits to hide in, and it also brings great difficulties to the government to eliminate thieves.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, the people here have always been forthright, straight-forward, unyielding, willing to fight with each other, and they are also good men in times of peace.
But if you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, and you really can't survive, then turn against tnd!

Among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion who made illustrious military exploits for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, five were from Shandong.

Among them, the famous Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Ji are all said to be thieves.

The Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty swept across the world, devastated, and tore off the fig leaf of the end of the Tang Dynasty at once.

This unprecedented rogue is also a type of thieves.

There are also one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan in the Song Dynasty, which made the world admire the heroic heroes of Shandong thieves, and their righteousness Bo Yuntian.

You must know that the place names in the Water Margin, such as Yanggu County, Liangshan, and Jingyanggang, all have a great relationship with Shandong.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented horse administration in Shandong, and every five households had to raise one horse, so this also led to a very large number of horses in Shandong.

Although the quality is uneven, it is also a very convenient means of transportation for the ancients.

Therefore, the combination of these multiple reasons has produced the famous "thief"!
"Hurry up, don't let them run away! Chase!"

At this time, Hu Wanshan was riding on a horse with forty or fifty riders, and he was also chasing after Bao Zhao and others in discredit.

Although holding the torches, the place where the light can shine is still very limited, so they dare not run with all their strength,

Under the galloping speed of the war horse, if one accidentally fell down, it would be fatal!
Kong Liang, who was originally in charge of checking whether Hu Wanshan had killed Bao Zhao and others near the pier, also followed Hu Wanshan's men and horses in pursuit.

After all, Hu Wanshan has never met Bao Zhao himself, so he needs Kong Liang's identification.

In addition, the accusations against Baozhao were all accusations against the Kong family, so they must not fall into the hands of Hu Wanshan, lest the other party threaten him with this.

So Kong Yan ordered Kong Liang to take it back quietly after Bao Zhao died.

This is why Kong Yan only told Hu Wanshan that he wanted to kill Baozhao and others, but did not mention the case.

At this time, Kong Liang said anxiously: "Boss Hu, let's speed up the horsepower and chase after them, but we must not let them run away!"

Hu Wanshan glared at him, and said displeasedly: "What do you know! If you try to catch up with all your strength, how many brothers will fall off the horse and die?! How can I make fun of my brothers' lives!"

Kong Liang gritted his teeth, leaned closer and said, "Master Hu will not die in vain. As long as he can kill Bao Zhao, everything is worth it! The Kong family will definitely not disappoint the master!"

Hu Wanshan understood what he meant, it was nothing more than that the Kong family could make compensation for the death of a person!

But he still shook his head and said, "Even if we try our best to catch up, the horse won't be able to run for a long time. When the horsepower runs out and we don't catch up, it will be a failure!"

And even if you run with all your strength, the horse will be exhausted after running for a long time, and you will not be able to continue on your way.

Therefore, the best way to ride a horse in ancient times is to travel at a constant speed, so that the horse can maintain its strength and run farther.

Kong Liang hurriedly said: "Bosses, according to the horseshoe prints, they are not far ahead! They will definitely catch up!"
Now is not the time to cherish horsepower, if they hide in the guard, there will be soldiers and horses from the guard to protect them, then it will be really tricky! "

This is why Kong Liang is not in a hurry. If Bao Zhao really enters the guard, even if it is a small hundred households, it will not be captured by people like Hu Wanshan!
The point is that Hu Wanshan doesn't have the guts to attack!
It's one thing to be a bandit, but if you attack the guard, it's tantamount to treason. This is a matter of heaven, and the government will wipe them out immediately!
Seeing that he was still indifferent, Kong Liang quickly added another fire and said: "The master, if the other party is really allowed to escape, not only will our Kong family be in trouble, but the reputation of the master will also be affected, and it will make heroes laugh... ..."

"Shut up! You don't want to stir up trouble here, and I will kill you first if you annoy me!"

Hu Wanshan scolded: "I don't need you to tell me what to do! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will take your flag first!"

Kong Liang was so frightened that he quickly shrank back, not daring to provoke again.

Although he was angry, Hu Hanshan still felt that what Kong Liang said was reasonable, and he had already accepted the "business".
Moreover, with so many troops dispatched, if he messes up in the end, his reputation will really be affected, and other thieves will laugh at him...

The hero of the green forest also pays attention to a face and speaks a word of righteousness!
So Hu Wanshan shouted: "Little ones! Let go of the rein and let me chase! Be sure to leave the prey behind!"

The second head next to him said worriedly: "Brother, brothers don't have many good horses, they can't keep up..."

Although there will be more horses on the thieves, but they can't reach one person and one horse, so there are only four or fifty people chasing them.

Moreover, among the four or fifty people, most of them are ponies and ponies, which are fine for commuting on the road at ordinary times, but if you really want to run, you can't do it.

But now Hu Wanshan couldn't control that much anymore, and said: "The brothers who have ridden the horses will chase first, and the rest will follow behind! Time is not up to you, hurry up!"

With an order, fourteen or fifteen horses quickly gave chase.

In this way, the two sides chased each other in the dark night, which lasted for two or three hours a year.

Li Cheng looked back while he was on his way. He saw that the torches were getting closer and people could be seen vaguely. He knew that the situation was very critical.

Quickly said: "My lord, the thief is catching up! We have to take a gamble!"

Bao Zhao tightened the leather tube on his body, and said, "Let's go!"

At this time, he didn't care so much anymore, he raised his whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, the horse suffered from pain, and began to run wildly.

The second leader opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue, letting the air come into contact with his tongue. After a few breaths, he retracted his tongue and wriggled back and forth in his mouth.

"Pooh!"

He spit it out in one gulp, and reported: "Brother, Big Hui, they are right ahead!"

As an experienced thief, Hu Wanshan sniffed the air in the air with his nose,

Immediately shouted: "They are not far ahead! Chase!"

Because the horses will raise dust on the ground when they are running, the more horses, the bigger the dust will be. If the weather is fine and there is no wind,

Then the dust in the air will not dissipate for a while.

The feeling of dust sticking to the tongue and entering the nasal cavity is completely different from ordinary air, so people will also judge the distance based on this.

Bao Zhao also knew that the other party had discovered him, and at this critical juncture, he could only run wildly with all his might.

Wang Anshi said in his "Hualiu":

"Dragon and morality cannot be tied, who can seek change. Hualiu is also a steed, and it is outstanding in the upper reaches of the land. Angrily chasing the wind, suddenly crossing Kyushu."

It describes the speed and distance of a good horse.

Among animals, horses with slender limbs and well-developed muscles are the most suitable for running.

But no matter how good a horse is, it cannot travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles at night.

Moreover, it is recognized that the fastest horse is only good at short-distance sprints, but cannot run long distances, because its endurance is very poor.

Moreover, the best horse can only run a hundred kilometers at a non-stop speed, which is already the limit.

Besides, not all the horses ridden by Bao Zhao and the others were of the best quality. Coupled with the fast running, the horses exhausted a lot of energy.
So after running for a while, the horse began to lose its strength, foamed from its mouth, and its speed also slowed down.

Li Cheng said worriedly: "My lord, you can't run anymore, if you run again, you will fall down!"

"I know there is a small station ahead, let's stick to it!"

Bao Zhao also knew that this was the best policy, so he said, "Okay, let's go!"

Finally, Bao Zhao and the others arrived at the inn before the horse's physical strength was exhausted.

It's just that the inn here doesn't have a store in front of the village or behind it, it's just beside the road alone.

There are only three postmen inside, which can play a very limited role.

But Li Cheng didn't care too much, and immediately hid Bao Zhao in the house, and sent two more guards.

A few of them guarded the yard with three postmen.
