Chapter 191: Kill the enemy

According to the records of Dafeng Geography, Yunzhou is 60,000 li horizontally and horizontally, rich in products, such as agricultural mulberry, porcelain, herbs and so on. Before Emperor Wu Zong's rise to power, Yunzhou's wealth was ranked among the top five in Dafeng.
The official road runs straight, winding to the horizon, with black soil fields on both sides, and rolling mountains in the distance.
Not long after the sun rose, the low temperature of last night remained in the air, and a team of more than one hundred people slowly moved forward on the official road.
There are wheels and wheels in the sound of horseshoe "da da".
"In the early years of Yuanjing, the total population of Yunzhou reached 5 million. After that, the yellow book was made up every ten years, and the population gradually declined. In the 30th year of Yuanjing, the population of Yunzhou was more than 3.5 million. Now it is Yuan. In 36 years, four more years will be the year of rebuilding the Yellow Book. I wonder how many people are left in Yunzhou?"
Governor Zhang opened the curtain and said with emotion.
In 30 years, the population has shrunk by 1.5 million, which is very scary, and the real population reduction will only be more than this. Because Yunzhou has fertile land, there is no need to consider famine if there is no natural disaster.
In other words, the population can grow steadily in 30 years of normal reproduction.
.... From 5 million to 3.5 million, it is not a simple subtraction. The actual reduction of the population is at least doubled... Xu Qi'an shouted a national curse: "What the hell."
Governor Zhang glanced at him and continued: "The loss of the population is due to taxation too high, abandoning fields and becoming refugees, or entering the city to make a living, or falling into the grass. These people are not recorded in the yellow book. inner.
"Furthermore, the banditry is serious, burning, killing, looting, and even worse. Sometimes in order to replenish labor, the cottage bandits will take the initiative to go down the mountain to rob the people. Oh, of course the bandits are not in the yellow book."
Xu Qi'an looked into the distance silently, listening to Governor Zhang's words in his ear, analyzing in his heart.
.... In the first year of Yuanjing there were 5 million people. In the first ten years of Yuanjing, the population was still shrinking. By the 30th year of Yuanjing, 1.5 million people disappeared. There are really more people... .Yunzhou has changed rapidly in the past twenty years, and it is the beginning of Emperor Yuanjing's cultivation...
Because Emperor Dafeng is obsessed with cultivating, so he feels there is an opportunity for the witch sect? The Witch God Sect has been conspiring for more than 20 years and will never make a fuss. The kingdoms ruled by Dafeng and the Witch God Sect must have a battle.
Thinking about it, he tilted his head and almost fell asleep.
"Your mental state is not very good." Governor Zhang looked at him, frowning and said: "What's the matter?"
The governor remembered that Xu Qi'an had come along this way, keeping himself safe and not lingering around the Jiaofang Secretary, so he shouldn't be so exhausted.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and smiled bitterly at the governor's lord: "It's nothing, I just became a master of time management."
This was the eighth day of his sleeplessness. There was sudden pain in his brain, and his blood vessels seemed to burst. When eating this morning, he even had a slight hallucination, thinking that Xu Lingyin was robbing him of his meat buns.
The eyeballs were bloodshot, and the circles under his eyes were black and cyan. This reminded Xu Qi'an of living in the blessing society of 996, and occasionally experiencing a 007, which was so miserable.
"There are two days left. After these two days, I should be able to be promoted to the Divine Refining Realm. I can't let myself fall asleep, otherwise I will fall short...how do I feel the heart beating so uncomfortable..."
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, took off the water bag and poured it on his head, to stimulate his body and refresh his spirit.
....
A caravan of 300 people was trekking along the official road, with flat carriages pulling goods, and under the tarps were silk, tea, porcelain and rouge gouache rich in Yunzhou.
There are some special products of Yunzhou, such as snake inkstone, topaz and so on.
The owner of the caravan is a man with a face full of flesh, named Zhao Long, who was also a famous hero in Yunzhou in his early years. He ate both black and white.
Tired of licking blood, relying on the fame and personal connections he broke in his early years, he started a caravan business.
He can always manage the cottages along the way, leave Yunzhou peacefully, distribute the goods to various places, and earn a lot of money.
Over time, many businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to join Zhao Long's caravan for peace.
Zhao Long's caravan has evolved into a half-commercial half-dart.
Yang Yingying was the one who hid in the shade under this big tree, but she left Yunzhou as a scattered person and spent twenty taels of silver asking the caravan for blessing.
After all, it is impossible for a weak woman like her to leave Yunzhou on her own, and she might be robbed by bandits on the official road one day and become the wife of the village.
With her appearance, it is more than enough to be a lady of the village.
Yang Yingying was originally a woman in the Yunzhou Jiaofang Division. She was also an oiran when she was young. Later, she was fortunate enough to meet a beloved, who was ransomed for her, and she was raised in the yard and became an outside room.
But after 30 this year, her appearance will not diminish, but her body will become more plump, adding to the charm of a mature woman. She has bright apricot eyes, and her eyes are full when she looks at people.
Yang Yingying, who was riding on horseback, noticed the fiery gazes of the guards around him, and couldn't help tightening his cloak tightly, burying his head lower.
At first glance, her hands are protecting her plump to avoid being desecrated by the eyes of some men. In fact, she is protecting an object in her arms.
It was this object that forced her to leave Yunzhou.
An master salivated looking at Yang Yingying's back, riding on a horseback, her skirt pressed against her body, and the tight buttocks profile was really alluring.
The strong caught his horse belly, caught up with Yang Yingying, grinned and said, "Beauty, play with the uncle at night. The uncle's money from this trip will go to you. Ten taels of silver."
Yang Yingying turned a deaf ear to him, and if he didn't respond or refused, he should not be the right person.
The said a few more words, and when the beauty was ignored, he walked away cursingly.
Several escorts familiar with him laughed and ridiculed. But everyone has disappointment in their eyes. If this woman doesn't get in, they will have no chance either.
The eyes of a few escorts with life on hand flashed fiercely, this kind of water spirit woman traveling alone, if it hadn't met Boss Zhao, it would have been eaten without bones.
Zhao Long, who was in front of the caravan, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the escorts immediately drew out their weapons, as if they were facing an enemy. But the knife is only half out of its sheath, which is an unwritten rule for darts.
Everyone is asking for money. Unless the strength gap between the two sides is huge, they will not die. What's more, Boss Zhao has always had some thin noodles in the underworld, otherwise he would not eat this bowl of rice.
In the dense forests on both sides of the trail, people number seven or eighty jumped out, with bright swords and spears, and more than twenty riders on the side road, all of them were strong and strong.
Zhao Long is a little puzzled. He has to walk this road several times a year. He knows which section of the road needs to be managed and which hill needs filial piety.
When did such a group of cutting-edge bandits appear in this forest...Zhao Long pressed his hand, and signaled his to be safe, he rode his horse forward for a short while, and said loudly:
"Under Zhao Long, which way did my friends go before..."
When he got closer, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The bandits were wearing military crossbows around their waists and holding standard long swords in their hands. These were all military equipment.
Zhao Long had heard that some big stockades had no shortage of munitions, sabers, crossbows and even fire guns, but they were all top bandit big stockades and shouldn't be here.
....
"Ning Yan, you look like a sick man hollowed out by a woman." Song Tingfeng and Xu Qi'an went hand in hand, taking the opportunity to ridicule.
Xu Qi'an glanced at him and said lightly: "I have a friend who asked me if I have any pills for Sitamon to strengthen yang and nourish the kidney."
Song Tingfeng smiled stiffly.
"My friend is Zhu Guangxiao, Guangxiao, you all have a fiancée, why bother so hard." Song Tingfeng threw the pot to Zhu Guangxiao.
Zhu Guangxiao glanced at him dullly, and felt unwilling, and retorted: "I am pitying and cherishing jade. You are too ugly to eat. Every morning, the girl who accompanies you to bed can't get out of bed.
"You don't know temperance yourself, and you have lost your body."
The martial artist is strong and energetic, but even the Bull Demon, who ploughs from night to morning every day, and the days are long, he will lose his energy and blood.
"I'm great." Song Tingfeng was not convinced, and smiled proudly: "Only the girls from Jiaofangsi can cooperate with me as much as possible, even though they are also tired of parrying."
"Ting Feng..."
Song Tingfeng heard Xu Qi'an calling him, turned his head and looked over: "What are you doing?"
"It's not that you are good, but people can tolerate your insignificance."
"go away."
While laughing and cursing, Jiang Luzhong, who led the team, said solemnly: "There is a smell of blood ahead, everyone is ready."
Qiang.... The sound of the blades being unsheathed was uniform. Hu Benwei and the guard at the same time drew their sabers and took off the crossbow.
"Dash in!" Jiang Luzhong grabbed his horse's belly and rushed out.
The governor team instantly entered the marching state, extremely fast and orderly.
Ten minutes into the march, a dense forest appeared in front of him, and the wind brought a strong smell of blood.
When entering the dense forest, sharp arrows shot from both sides, attacking the dashing guard and Hu Benwei.
Jiang Luzhong raised his hand and pressed it down, the arrow rain hit the invisible wall of air and fell powerlessly.
He waved his hand and said: "Hu Benjun, enter the forest to kill the enemy."
While speaking, Jiang Luzhong looked forward, and there were hundreds of corpses on the official road, stained with blood. The horses were inevitable, and the cargo carried by this caravan was scattered all over the place.
He immediately analyzed the situation...Because he smelled the smell of blood in advance and ordered the team to rush, when the group of trail-cutting bandits heard the sound of horseshoes, it was too late to retreat, so they lay in ambush in the woods.
There was a fierce battle in the dense forest. Hu Benwei was one of the five guards in the capital~EbookFREE.me~ although not as brave and good at fighting as the imperial army, it was far better than the local army.
There is not much difference in the numbers of the two sides, the arrows and the blades are staggered, and they have a good relationship.
Jiang Luzhong was stunned, somewhat surprised, and turned to look at Xu Qi'an: "Ning Yan, have you killed anyone?"
"Killed one and injured one seriously." Xu Qi'an looked at the caravan with a dead body and reported the record casually.
Jiang Luzhong "chicks" a laugh: "The kid who doesn't have all the hair."
People burst into laughter.
Except for Xu Qi'an, a rookie who has joined the watchdog for less than two months, everyone else is a warrior who has experienced many battles and kills without blinking.
Jiang Luzhong pointed to Lin Zi and said, "Go, practice your hands, and kill at least ten."
Xu Qi'an retracted his gaze and let out a sigh of relief: "Okay!"
