I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 87

In order not to waste time, Huang Yi sent Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong to the market outside Zhangjiakou to contact Li Guanshi.

The straight-line distance from Huang Yi's base to Zhangjiakou City is no more than 150 miles, but the distance is more than [-] miles.

Wangshan runs dead horses. Although the mountain here is not high, the road has to go around the foot of the mountain, so the mileage is a bit long.

In order to store more grain, Huang Yi brought 120 horse-drawn carriages to prepare to transport grain, but the speed was not fast enough. Even if he got up early and took late, he could only travel fifty or sixty miles a day.

This is also because they are all empty.

When we go back, all the carriages must be full of food, Sugang, spirits and other supplies.

Maybe the horses you ride on will also be used to carry food.

Along the way, it is not bad to walk thirty miles a day.

Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong came to Zhangjiakou last time, knew the way, and immediately galloped away with spare horses.

That night, I met the guy arranged by Li Guanshi at the Li's shop in the market outside Zhangjiakou.

That guy should have received special care. He was very pleasantly surprised after seeing Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong. He had seen them last time and they knew each other.

The first sentence is: "You have finally come, have you gained something again? Is there a leader of Jiannu?"

Huang Dayong said: "Jiannu is far away in Liaodong, so it is not easy to meet, this time we cut off 97 heads of young and middle-aged Tartars."

"So many? You are amazing. Did you bring the head?"

"We have more than 100 trucks here to transport grain and iron materials. My master saw the code word on the side of the road and knew that your boss was in a hurry to find him, so he sent us two to gallop here!"

"Our boss is indeed in a hurry to find your master. The purpose is to get some more heads! I brought people to write a lot of contact codes in the twelfth lunar month of last year. Why did you come here?"

"As soon as we saw the code word, we rushed over as fast as we could. We couldn't be faster!"

"Oh! That's it! You two have worked hard, I'll arrange wine and food to keep you two warm."

"It's work!"

"Don't be polite, by the way, can you two confirm that those heads are real Tartars?"

"My master will be here tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and then you can see it with your own eyes!"

"Great, I'll go back to Zhangjiakou City to announce the good news to the shopkeeper."

After arranging board and lodging for Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong, the clerk rushed to Zhangjiakou to report the news overnight.

After dark, all cities in Daming closed their gates, and border towns like Zhangjiakou were of course stricter.

Instead of entering through the city gate, the man called Mr. Li's subordinates to pull him up the city wall in a hanging basket.

By the way, Li Bazong Li Sien has been promoted because of the operation of the last beheading work, and now he is Qianzong.

Getting a few people into the city at night is a trivial matter.

It was freezing cold, and every family went to bed early. Although it was only around seven or eight o'clock, the entire city of Zhangjiakou was basically pitch black.

The man slapped the door knocker of Guanshi Li's small courtyard and made a "dang dang" sound, which caused the dogs to bark. One dog opened his mouth, and then there was a lot of excitement. Almost all the dogs in the city barked.

Li Guanshi had just washed his feet and was about to go to bed. After seeing the messenger, he learned that Huang Yi would come to Zhangjiakou in a day or two. He already had 97 Tartar heads in his hand. He was overjoyed and immediately went to the backyard to announce the good news.

During this time, Dong Li's family was a little annoying.

Why?

Of course, the two sons of the Geng family came to him almost every other day, asking how the contact was going.

However, he didn't know what to do and couldn't give an accurate answer.

Seeing the Geng brothers getting more and more irritable, Li Weida was helpless.

After hearing the good news, he didn't care about the curfew at all, and immediately took Guanshi Li and a few servants to the compound where the Geng family lived.

So at noon the next day, Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong met Li shopkeeper, Li Weida, Li Sien and two middle-aged men dressed as officials, a dozen Ming army cavalrymen, and a dozen armored servants in full armor.

Geng Zhangguang and Geng Zhanghua waited for more than a month, and almost gave up.

The good news came suddenly last night, the strong man got his heads, and there were quite a few of them, the fly in the ointment was that there was no head of Jiannu.

The two brothers secretly rejoiced that luckily they didn't give up, and they couldn't wait to see the strong man with their own eyes, and wanted to negotiate the conditions in person, and ask the strong man to find ways to get a real slave with a few levels of money rat tail.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong have grown stronger and stronger, and they are now majestic in helmets and armor.

They explained their purpose to Li Dong's family and confirmed that they now have 97 heads of young and middle-aged Tartars.

Li Dong's family immediately laughed and asked Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong to lead the way. They were going to meet Huang Zongqi who had returned in triumph.

Then he stopped hiding.

Explain clearly to Geng Zhangguang and Geng Zhanghua the process of dealing with Huang Yi for the first time.

It is also suggested that after Mr. Geng is restored to his post, the Geng brothers should recommend Huang Yi as the general of the Fubiao Camp.

The two brothers of the Geng family have already realized the importance of a brave general, and they think that if their father had a brave general who is used to fighting, he would never cause such a catastrophe.

They both promised that if my father could be reinstated, he would visit the thatched cottage to invite him.

Huang Yi is still cautious, he still explores the road and investigates in person, and every time he goes to the high ground or mountain, he has to climb up and look around with binoculars.

Suddenly, I found dozens of cavalry coming from the direction of Zhangjiakou, which felt very strange.

After observing for a while, it was found that the leaders were actually Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong.

He immediately understood that the people following him should be servants of the Li family.

I just can't figure it out, why did those people come to welcome them?
Is it to follow the example of the ancients and respect the corporals?
Huang Yi is a realist who doesn't like this at all.

But he took a fancy to the iron armor equipped by those servants.

I cursed in my heart, last time I didn't even want to give three sets of armor, but this time I saw so much?

What's the meaning?Show off on purpose?
Think of a way to take off the armor worn by those servants?
As long as he can fight, Huang Yi has three or four times as many troops as others, and it is estimated that it will take less than 5 minutes to wipe out those servants who look majestic.

well!Unfortunately, this cannot be done.Make enemies everywhere, and the road will become narrower and narrower.

After finally getting to know the Li family, I have to rely on his business name to sell and buy supplies in the future. How can I kill the chicken and get the eggs?
After a while, Huang Yi, who was thinking wildly, saw Li Weida and Li Guanshi who were all smiling.

Li Weida introduced the Geng brothers, but did not reveal that their father was the former governor of Shanxi.

At this time, Huang Yi's subordinates were also fully armed, and they looked murderous and powerful.

The Geng family brothers are demanding of others, so of course they are very polite.

Huang Yi knew why so many people came in a hurry.

He immediately asked Hu Xiaochuan and Zhang Dong to open the sacks carrying heads from the carriage one by one for everyone to identify.

The work of distinguishing the heads was still done by Yang Shihu, this time it wasn't just him, there were also two experts in the Geng family.
