Chapter 1,697 Dung Truck
Shen An and the others left.
It was late at night, and the soldiers guarding the city watched them disappear into the distance and muttered: "There is no need to hunt at night, right? There was no place to live here in the past."
At dawn, Zheng Qiuyu, who woke up from a hangover, yawned and asked people to prepare their bags. He and Shen An were going on inspection.
"Envoy Yun, Shen Longtu left last night."
The clerk brought him face wash and looked at his face.
Zheng Qiuyu was besieged by Shen An and Cao Yi last night. He drank so much that he drank until the glass was dry, and ended up throwing himself on the street.
But Shen An actually left Zheng Qiuyu and ran away, letting everyone know that this was intentional.
"What?" Zheng Qiuyu was stunned, then smiled and said: "Where did he go?"
Zheng Qiuyu had stopped drinking and couldn't remember what happened last night at all.
The clerk said: "I don't know. I said I was going hunting, but how can I go hunting late at night?"
Zheng Qiuyu slapped his forehead and said, "Go and check. Send someone to check."
He hurried to the state government office. All the officials who had been drinking last night were there, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Shen An ran away!" Zheng Qiuyu said angrily: "I'm sure it wasn't a patrol matter. What did he say last night?"
An official said: "Last night Shen Longtu said he wanted to go hunting."
"Hunting?" Zheng Qiuyu sneered: "Where can we hunt here in Xiongzhou? There are only some beasts in Liao Kingdom."
The officials nodded.
"But you praised me repeatedly last night and said that Shen Longtu had hunted something good. Remember to come back and cook and fix it before drinking."
Well!
Is this what I am doing?
Zheng Qiuyu was a little confused.
"Get a bowl of porridge."
He rubbed his stomach and felt uncomfortable in his stomach.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to eat something lighter."
Everyone agreed for a while, and then the person who went to inquire about the news came back.
"Envoy Yun, the brother who went after Shen Longtu followed the traces all the way to the boundary bridge."
Zheng Qiuyu suddenly felt his stomach churn, "Did they go to Jieqiao?"
"A brother ventured across the bridge and saw traces on the other side of the bridge."
If you make the trip in time, you can spot horse hoof prints in time.
"I... I said why he had such a drinking fight last night. He actually wanted to get me drunk. But what was he doing in the north?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone said, "It seems that the Mangshan Army visited the Liao territory last time."
Another person said: "Inspection and inspection, isn't it just to check the movements of the Liao people?"
The best way is naturally to go to Liao territory to inquire.
"Youzhou is now full of Liao troops. He is a madman! A madman!"
Zheng Qiuyu was angry, "If he is discovered by the Liao people... I bet that Yelu Hongji is willing to use 20,000 horses in exchange for Shen An. No matter how powerful his local soldiers are, the Liao army can drown them with a sea of people... …By the time……"
He raised his head and sighed: "If he is captured alive by then, Yelu Hongji will be overjoyed, and the morale of the Liao army will be high. And the officials will be furious. I am unlucky, and you will be unlucky too."
It's okay to be unlucky, but if he was captured or died in the Liao Kingdom, it would have a huge impact on the morale of the army, and then..."
He glanced at the officials and said, "I'm afraid the New Deal may be in trouble. If Prime Minister Han and others knew that he was taking such risks, they would definitely trap him in Bianliang and not allow him to leave the city. Now that the die is cast, the only way I can do it is to pray, pray. He can escape."
"Come here, paper and pen."
Zheng Qiuyu wrote the memorial and then asked someone to send it to Bianliang quickly.
"Be careful not to reveal it..."
The messenger left quickly. Zheng Qiuyu looked at the officials and suddenly smiled.
Everyone was sitting melancholy in sleepy city, and they were immediately flattered by such a smile.
"You and others already know this." Zheng Qiuyu said with a smile: "You and others are the pillars of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, I am not worried about you and others leaking the secret."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed for a while, but some people felt that it was not good.
"But you have been working very hard lately, and I can't bear to come here every time I think about it." Zheng Qiuyu suddenly said with a cruel smile: "In this way, before Shen An comes back, you can rest here."
"Envoy!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. If this was the case, how long would they have to squat here?
"Have a good time."
Zheng Qiuyu strode out, and then a sergeant sealed the door.
"Three meals a day are provided, and the dung will be picked up in the latrine. You can just poop..."
There was a sergeant outside who was reading expressionlessly.
"But where's the quilt? Where's the bed?"
In front of the government office is the office space, but there are no beds. Behind is Zhizhou's territory. There are beds, but there are only a few. How can they sleep there?
Zheng Qiuyu was not in the mood to care about this. He stood outside the government office and said with a wry smile: "Shen An, Shen An, I pride myself on being bold, but compared to you, I am far inferior. But you should not be captured. If we are in a desperate situation, we would rather commit suicide than lose the face of the Song Dynasty."
…
Ten days later.
Cao Yi's nerves were about to collapse.
They encountered numerous dangers along the way, and often escaped the Liao army's inspections at the most dangerous times.
At the beginning, the thrill made him feel that life was meaningful like this.
But after too much stimulation, he felt weak.
"Ahead is Youzhou City, the Nanjing City of the Liao people."
Shen An stood on the small soil bag, put down the telescope in his hand, and said with the attitude of a literary young man: "Decades ago, Emperor Taizong was defeated here. Today I will pay tribute to him."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and Cao Yan asked, "Do you think this is condolences?"
"Yes!" Shen An said casually; "Do we still need to burn incense?"
Wei Ming and Yang Qi from the Imperial City Division came ahead, accompanied by a Liao man.
"I've seen Shen Longtu."
The Liao people speak fluent Bianliang dialect, but they are secret spies.
"This is He Bao." Yang Qi gave a brief introduction, "The Liao people in Nanjing City were very strict with their investigation. In order to allow him to lurk, the Imperial City Department spent three brothers."
Shen An nodded, knowing that the Imperial City Secretary used suicide to eliminate He Bao's suspicion.
He Bao looked very honest and honest, but he had an indescribable smell on his body, which was very unpleasant.
"The villain pulls dung trucks in the city."
Shen An blinked, "Are we supposed to be put in a dung truck... and dragged into the city?"
He Bao nodded, "No one will check the dung truck, it's the safest thing."
Shen An glanced at Cao Yi and said, "Old Cao, your opportunity has come."
"Fart!" Cao Yan cursed, "I would rather die fighting here than squat in a dung truck."
Thinking about the contents of the dung truck, Shen An retched, and Cao Yan was even more unbearable, so he turned around and started spraying.
He Bao said in surprise: "You misunderstood. I have a new dung truck at home. You just need to smear some excrement on the outside. The inside will be clean."
Well!
Cao Yi turned around and said with tears in his eyes: "Anbei, spare your life!"
Shen An glanced at Huang Chun, and Huang Chun said sternly: "Lang Jun, there is nothing you can do at the city gate. You don't need to go out of the city, but you have to check your identity when entering the city."
"Since the call for the Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty has become louder and louder, the inspection at the city gate has become much stricter. Otherwise, there would be no need to kill the three brothers for the villain to successfully lurk."
He Bao lowered his head and Shen An took a deep breath, "Okay!"
So in the afternoon of the next day, He Bao pulled the dung truck out.
"There is a powerful land outside the city. I follow the Song Dynasty to make manure. Not only do villains pull it out every day, but it is dumped directly into the pit beside the field. It smells bad."
The dung truck looks dirty on the outside, but when you open it, you will see that it is brand new inside.
Shen An explained: "Old Cao is going in, Brother Chun is going in, Baoyu and Li Baojiu, that's five people, Wen Xiaozhong."
Wen Xiaozhong nodded, "I swear to protect you to the death."
He thought silently in his heart: I will not let the little lady lose her brother.
"Set off!"
The dung truck made its way back.
The soldiers guarding the city avoided He Bao when they saw him, not even wanting to take a look.
People are so weird, eating delicious food on it feels like the ultimate enjoyment. Below, he poops every day, but considers the leftovers of delicious food to be the most filthy things in the world.
After several trips, the six people were successfully transported into the city.
After arriving at the place, the first thing Shen An did was to take a shower and then convene people to discuss matters.
"Youzhou City is the first line of defense for the Liao Army against the Song Dynasty. Figuring out the deployment of troops and figuring out the city's defense is our primary goal."
Wen Xiaozhong brought the big cake, Shen An took it and continued: "The second thing is to remind the Liao people and let them know that a certain person has been here."
Cao Yi waved his hand and rejected the pie. He had no appetite now, and then asked, "How do I remind you?"
"Set a fire."
"This is simple." Cao Yi felt relieved, feeling that it was rare for Shen An not to seek death, and he couldn't help but feel good.
They stayed at He Bao's residence for two days and went out to investigate the situation on the third day.
The Liao Kingdom also had several capitals, but the largest one was Youzhou, Nanjing.
Youzhou City still maintains the custom of the former Tang Dynasty: square.
You can think of a square as a large community. The community has walls and gates, and is guarded by security guards. You can come and go freely during the day, but when the time comes and the gate is closed, you have to go home and squat.
This management model is simple, crude and effective, and can be called the ultimate means of public security.
But Shen An found it funny, "The walls of the squares used in the former Tang Dynasty were demolished in the Song Dynasty, and Bianliang became a city that never sleeps. The Liao people learned everything, but this one still remains the same, which shows that they are still guarding against those Han people. Son."
This is Guihoufang, and the six of Shen An are wandering around loosely.
Ahead is Zicheng, where the imperial city of Nanjing is located.
"What do you want to do?" Cao Yi felt a chill running down his spine when he saw Shen An staring at the imperial city.
"It's okay, just looking at it as a surprise."
Shen An looked at it for a few times and then left.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Youzhou City, many of whom are Han.
The seven of them found a place to squat, like idle men waiting to find work.
He Bao lowered his head, "There are many Han'ers in the city. In the early days, the Liao people killed Han'er without repaying their lives. Later, Empress Dowager Xiao changed this when she came to power, and allowed Han'er to wear her own clothes... Later, You Yanzhi All the Han people here are attracted to the Liao people, and many of them wear Hu clothes."
The so-called Hufu refers to the clothes of the Liao people.
And this is also the biggest difference between Han'er and foreigners.
Once you change your clothes, you will gradually become emotionally alienated from your homeland.
"Liao people say that they are no different from China."
These are Cao Yan's words. This guy is looking at women.
"Sure enough, they are similar to Bianliang, but they look a little different."
This dude!
Shen An whispered: "Believe it or not, I knocked you unconscious and threw you outside the palace gate. Then he shouted that this is Uncle Cao of the Song Dynasty."
Cao Yi said angrily: "I'm just taking a look."
"What the hell!" Shen An smiled at a woman, a standard idol smile, very reserved.
Pooh!
The woman gave him a smack, UU reading www.uukanhhnet and then walked away proudly.
"unlucky!"
Shen An looked at the coarse cloth clothes he was wearing, and couldn't help but think of those time-traveling predecessors who could still make beautiful women fall in love even if they were in ragged clothes.
Isn't he handsome?
He touched his face and said calmly: "We have roughly figured out the strength of the troops in the city. The cavalry is estimated to be more than 20,000 to more than 30,000. The infantry is less than 20,000. This is the most valuable news."
Cao Yan said: "The key is the city wall. When the time comes to attack Youzhou City, firearms will definitely be used. We must find which side of the city wall is weak, otherwise I am worried that firearms will be useless in such a powerful city."
Shen An nodded, "Don't worry, I'm prepared."
After everyone wandered around the city for a few days, Shen An made a sketch and finally found the weak point.
"Here on the right side of Tongtian Gate..."
He pointed at the sketch and said with piercing eyes: "The city wall here is weak. If we attack with all our strength with firearms, we have a great chance."
Cao Yan watched carefully, "The Northern Expedition was defeated because we failed to capture Youzhou City. Otherwise, with Youzhou City in hand, Emperor Taizong would have been able to recapture Youyan no matter how bad he was. Uh..."
This is wrong!
The three people from the Imperial City Division lowered their heads and heard that Xiaozhong was outside.
Shen An stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
"What's the meaning?"
Cao Yi felt that he had been led astray by Su Shi, and his mouth was wrong.
Shen An said: "Give me money to keep quiet, otherwise you will find a way to kill me and wait to silence me."
This is a joke and a warning.
Shen An's words were a warning to He Bao and the others to forget about this matter.
Yang Qi raised his head and said: "Don't worry Shen Longtu, we will know what to do."
