Chapter 49
The Han Dynasty (Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty) ruled for more than 400 years, inheriting the architectural style of the Qin Dynasty and giving more possibilities to architecture. The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles are just that, this is the epitome of the glory of an era.
Therefore, the atmospheric buildings that can be seen everywhere have ancient styles. On this day, Qing Cang led everyone to pass by a building, standing alone between the mountains and forests, which was particularly obvious, with the characteristics of the Han Dynasty, with the word "in-station" written on it. The gate of the inn is between two outposts, and the two outposts are connected by an aisle.
There were several Han soldiers standing on the outpost, holding spears. They found the place where everyone was and immediately shouted, "Who is coming?"
Since there is a forest outside the station and they are all among them, they can't see how many people there are. If they know, how dare they greet them so arrogantly.
Qing Cang glanced at Lin Meng, and he immediately understood.
"Bold! I won't let the postmaster come out to greet us when I see you!"
Since you want to fake it, you have to learn it more. Lin Meng has done a lot of bullying behavior. The so-called fox and tiger power are just like this. The post commander is the biggest commander of this post, and he is in charge of all matters. This ancient post station was a place for past officials to rest and serve as a para-army. If necessary, they would also take up weapons to fight. However, this situation basically did not exist in the late corruption of the East. At that time, everyone was in danger. Anyone who had a will had already joined the army to go to the front line, so how could he stay in such a place?
The soldiers above shivered and thought to themselves that they were broken. When they met the high-ranking official, they saw Qing Cang's appearance as a deputy, and they believed it a little. They immediately ran down. After a while, the gate of the post station opened, and a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks appeared in front of everyone. He was the postmaster here. He brought about twenty soldiers with weapons to greet Qing Cang.
He looked at everyone. At this time, they were all gathered at the door, with about 800 people here at the same time, which was quite spectacular.
The postmaster asked in front of him: "I don't know the name of the master? Where are you going?"
Those who come here usually have to ask the other party about information and make arrangements. If they are just some minor officials, just just greet them.
With a slap, the postmaster turned around twice, and his waxy face was beaten red. The people under him had never seen this situation, and they had not even had time to react.
This slap was exactly what Qing Cang beats. Since you pretend, it will be more similar.
"I have a noble status, so how can you ask me about my name? Do you want to die? This time, my uncle Zhang Liehou ordered us to escort Caibao back to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. I happened to pass by here and wanted to replenish some food. You can arrange it. I am so happy to serve you, maybe I will say a few good words for you and go to Beijing to pass the glory and wealth."
Qing Cang said while revealing the token intentionally or unintentionally to increase the authenticity. He slapped him first and then gave you a sweet taste.
The postmaster covered his face and was stunned. He was a little panicked and did not ask if it was true. But when he heard that Zhang Liehou was immediately scared and said yes. Later, he heard that there was something sweet, and immediately said:
"Adults are tired all the way, so I asked my servants to prepare some wine, meat and delicacies, and I hope the adults will not dislike it."
"Just forget about wine, you can eat more. My subordinates are very tired and prepare a place to rest together."
They have eaten all of them in the past few days, and there are very few meat products. Maybe they were prepared for Li Junhou at that time, and the other soldiers were probably only eating the same food as the people. They also had to rush to go, and they could not drink this wine. One was to drink too much and make things happen, and the other was to drink it, and once they drank it, some people were too much to reveal their strength, which was not good. There were many people passing by along the way, and the people were complicated, and they might even be exposed. Now this one, whose property was robbed, and once he knew it, revenge would be inevitable.
When hundreds of people below heard that there was meat to eat, they immediately became energetic.
The postmaster quickly made way out and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Please come in!"
After that, he was sent to kill cows and sheep, and entertain Qing Cang and others. For this reason, he cleared all the places where the tables could be placed on the entire post. Some irrelevant soldiers and letter deliverymen were cleared outside and sent out at will, making them dare not speak out. The people in the entire post were busy and very lively.
Among them, Qing Cang, Lin Meng, Zhang Fengcheng, Cao Chen and others sat around.
During the meal, the postmaster kept nodding and bowing, showing his servility. From time to time, he reminded Qing Cang to say a few words before Zhang Rang that Qing Cang would have something to ask. "Secretary, how far is the next postmaster heading towards Luoyang?"
"There is one in Julu County for 80 miles a long time ago, but sir, I advise you to take a detour, because there has been no news on that post station for a month, and I am afraid it will be occupied by the Yellow Turban Army."
As Zhang Fengcheng said, the Yellow Turban Protected. Others may not dare to go, but Qing Cang dared. He brought advanced combat policies. As long as the number of people on the other side is not too large, he will have a way to conquer.
So, he continued, "Why is there any news that the number of the Yellow Turban Army?"
The postmaster took a sip of wine and said, "The spies' recent return is about three thousand."
More than 3,000 people are not too many, but if these people hide in the county and stack bunkers to defend the battle, this battle is not easy to fight. This is suitable for fast attacks because they cannot afford it.
Zhang Fengcheng wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he couldn't help saying, "Sir, why don't we take a detour?"
If anyone else was, he would feel trembling when facing three thousand enemies. Qing Cang also understood Zhang Fengcheng's idea, and only those who can do their best can live longer.
The postmaster spoke, "But it takes three more days to detour. There is no post station to replenish food and grass along the way. It depends on the choice of the adults."
In order to make Zhang Fengcheng die of this heart, Qing Cang pretended to ask, "Secretary, how much food can you provide here?"
"In recent years, there has been a famine and the food is not enough. We still rely on the court to distribute food to the food, and we spend a lot of money on the 800 adults, up to four days."
If the food for 800 people is eaten by four days, it would probably take half a year for people at this inn.
Qing Cang didn't seem to be lying. After all, his number of people is large and his consumption increases. It is easy to recruit soldiers, but it is difficult to raise soldiers.
When Zhang Fengcheng heard this, he seemed to be measuring the pros and cons. Qing Cang no longer said anything and just waited for him to make a choice. If he wanted to leave, he would never stop him.
But long ago, he told Lin Meng to process his record and spread it to the crowd he brought. This kind of penetration was very terrifying. He wanted to give them a feeling that he would have a bright future with him. He dared to guarantee that if Zhang Fengcheng wanted to leave, it was still a question whether he could take half of the people away.
At this time, a discordant voice came in from outside.
