Chapter 2121 Arrive at Dai County
Cao Ang did not stay at the port for too long, so he bid farewell to Tian Yu early the next morning and drove back to the pass.
This trip to Liaodong was both gratifying and disappointing. What was gratifying was that the new seven counties were successfully developed, and all alien races were trapped in the original five counties and could not move and could only accept assimilation. The hidden dangers in Liaodong were completely solved from the root.
What was disappointed was that the development of Gongshugong muskets was stagnant, Gongshujing's steel improvement encountered a bottleneck, and Ma Jun's steam engine was also unable to advance. The three top scientists in the Wei Dynasty whom he had high hopes were collectively rested. None of them surprised him, which was a pity to think about.
Fortunately, the road in the western Liaoning Corridor was finally completed. They no longer had to cross mountains and ridges, and drove to Shanhaiguan for a few hours.
Shanhaiguan is the gateway of Liaodong and the forefront of the resistance to Yuan's army back then. Cao Ang once led his army to experience several major battles here, but times have changed. Now all the enemies around him have been eliminated and assimilated. Shanhaiguan has long lost its military significance and has become an ordinary pass. Many buildings built to defend against enemy troops but hinder traffic were demolished, and there was only one battalion in the pass, which was somewhat defeated compared to the glory of that year.
Cao Ang used his fake identity to trick the defenders into entering the pass successfully. Hu Sandan, who was driving after closing the door, felt distressed, grabbed the steering wheel and asked, "Your Majesty, there are several roads here, which one should we go?"
Shanhaiguan is the gathering point of many official roads. After the Guanmen Road, it is divided into lines, including those leading to Tianjin Port, those leading to Xindu, and those leading to... Cao Ang said: "Go west, take a small road, there is no need to go in the big city, go to villages and towns everywhere."
The bigger the city, the more noble people, the more rules they are when doing things. Few people dare to do things randomly, but villages and towns are different. People are bullied for many times and can only endure it.
The main purpose of Cao Ang's trip this time is to see the living conditions of the people with his own eyes, rather than listening to compliments from noble officials and nobles.
Hu San chose a way and kicked out the accelerator, starting their journey within the pass.
After entering the gates, he went home, and Cao Ang had no goal. He took a few people to float like kites with broken strings and could do whatever he wanted. He walked and stopped for more than 20 days, and unknowingly arrived at Dai County.
Dai County is a famous miserable place and a place for four battles. It was originally a place for Dai Rong to act. Later Zhao King Wuling destroyed Dai Rong and established Dai County. After Qin destroyed Zhao, Zhao Jia, the eldest son of Zhao Daoxiang, established Dai Kingdom here. In the sixth year of the resistance of Qin, the Han Dynasty established the Later Han Emperor Wen Liu Heng was named Dai King, and resisted the Xiongnu here to hide his strength and maintain a low profile. The Great Wei was established, and Cao Zhang was named Dai King.
However, the king of the Great Wei Dynasty had no fief in the country, so Cao Zhang wanted to establish his Dai Kingdom and could only go to the wilderness abroad.
The four of them drove around Dai County and inspected the people in the fields. Although Dai County was poor, the people's lives were still stable, and they were well prepared for the winter cotton coats and firewood. Cao Ang was very pleased.
The road was slippery and I was tired after walking for too many days. That afternoon, Cao Ang was about to rush to the nearby Pingshu City to rest and talk about it.
There were no people on the official road in the cold weather and there was no air conditioner in the car, so Hu San drove very quickly. When the car was galloping, a person suddenly rushed out of Tianaka on the side of the road and hit the front of their car. Hu San's face turned violent and he ran into Tianaka with his body close to the person's body.
The road was slippery and fast, and there was a canal on the side of the road. The car overturned on the spot due to many factors. Cao Ang was thrown into a dilemma and rolled down the window and climbed out with difficulty. Zhao Yun and Cao Zhang also climbed out quickly, but Hu San's foot was caught by the brake hook. It took a lot of effort to pull him out.
After standing firm, Cao Ang rushed through the ditch in anger and wanted to curse people. This is the official road. If you don’t look at it, you will run into the car and you will be looking for death, right?
After seeing the man's face clearly, he couldn't scold him. The one who made them fall apart was a 16 or 17-year-old girl. Not only did she wear a thin body in the middle of winter, but her body was covered with scars. The white body had long been dyed red and white, and her face was frozen and blue and purple, making people unbearable to look at her.
The little girl stood there as if she was frightened and didn't move. Cao Ang felt an ignorant premonition in his heart and asked softly: "Little girl, what's your name? Where are you living?"
The little girl finally came to her senses and pushed Cao Ang away and continued to run forward. She pushed too hard and didn't pay attention to her feet and slipped on the spot. Cao Ang was caught off guard and fell to the ground, causing his butt to hurt.
Hu San stopped doing it, rushed over to support Cao Ang, and scolded the little girl, "Why are you so ungrateful?"
The little girl also ignored him and wanted to continue running as soon as she got up. Zhao Yun was afraid that she would fall again, so she stepped forward and grabbed her arm. As soon as she touched the little girl, she screamed. Zhao Yun's face changed slightly. He ignored her struggle and lifted up his sleeves. The four of them took a breath at the same time. She saw that her arms were covered with scars and dense pinholes with no rules. This was obviously abused.
Cao Ang's face turned dark and said, "Zilong, take good care of her, Cao Zhang and Hu San, move the car out and go to the city to seek medical treatment immediately."
Although the car overturned, it would not be a problem to turn it over with their strength. If it really doesn't work, there is still Zhao Yun.
Hu San said helplessly: "Lord, the tire of the car explodes, and there is a nail in the canal that is just stuck to the tire."
Cao Ang said angrily: "Change the spare tire."
Hu San smiled bitterly and said, "We are using a spare tire now. Another tire exploded a few days ago. Did you forget?"
All the troubles occur at critical moments.
"Your uncle..." Cao Ang cursed: "Zilong, carry him on his back, don't worry about this broken car."
Zhao Yun dragged down his military coat and put it on the little girl and carried it away. Cao Ang and his friends hurriedly followed.
Seeing that they were walking in Pingshucheng, the little girl showed unprecedented fear on her face, waved her hands and struggled violently, and even bit Zhao Yun's shoulder with her mouth, but she just didn't say anything.
Hu San frowned and said, "Lord, this little girl is not a mute, right?"
Cao Ang's eyes were flashing with murderous intent, and he said in a cold tone: "Did you just notice that her tongue is only half apart? It's artificially dumb. Looking at her horrified expression, it's not difficult to guess that she must have escaped from Pingshu City. There's something wrong with Pingshu City."
Hu San asked, "Then do you take her to the city?"
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "The body is so seriously injured. Where can I go if I don't go to Pingshu City? Which unit is closest to Pingshu?"
Cao Zhang thought for a moment before saying, "There is a group in Gaoliu City, but Gaoliu is the seat of the county seat of the county, which is too far away from here."
Cao Ang snorted coldly: "Then mobilize the police. Hu San, go to Dong'anyang, Cao Zhang, go to Dai County, and transfer all the police squadrons of the two counties. The police in Pingshu County are not credible."
"Here."
The two turned around and left quickly, while Cao Ang followed Zhao Yun to continue his journey. He wanted to see what was wrong in the small Pingshu County. Seeing that the little girl was still biting Zhao Yun's shoulder, Cao Ang comforted softly: "Girl, don't worry, we are the inspectors of the Jinyiwei, who came here to investigate the chaos in Pingshu County. The Jinyiwei will not let a bad person go. You can tell us any grievances."
The little girl trembled all over when she heard this, let go of her biting shoulders and looked up at Cao Ang, her eyes full of doubt and hope.
Cao Ang took out the Jinyiwei Qianhu's work certificate and said, "This is a work certificate, I didn't lie to you."
