Chapter 185. Visiting poor relatives
Zang Ba came from Mount Tai. When Cao Cao pacified Lu Bu, he took the opportunity to occupy the Langya Kingdom, stationed troops in Yangdu, and also held the King of Langya hostage, so Cao Cao appointed him as the Prime Minister of Langya.
However, after a year of stationed in Yangdu, Zang Ba still led his army eastward and placed his base in Ju County. On the one hand, Ju County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, surrounded by hills, and there is a sea river passing through it, so that he can continue to attack the hinterland of Qingzhou. On the other hand, he is a bit untenable in Langya Kingdom.
The bandits of Mount Tai rose from the remnants of Mount Tai in the territory, and they plowed in spring and autumn and plundered in winter and summer. They were plundered by the families of families that occupied the fertile plains, such as the Wang family of Langya and Zhuge family of Langya. Can there be peace between the robbers and the victims?
However, for Wang Hou, the Wang family of Langya is his distant relative. Everyone is Houyi of Wang Jian, the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. Although the two families have been separated for three hundred years, after all, "blood is thicker than water" isn't it?
It happened that the big thief Zang Ba went out to rob. He took this opportunity to leave Zhang Liao to guard the house, and Lu Ji left the house to manage the house. He took five hundred cavalry and used the excuse of going out to hunt and harming the people, so he also left Ju County.
I wish he could get away from home and don’t cause trouble when my elder brother Zang Ba is not at home. The second son Zang Shun, who is in charge, didn’t even make a fart.
In fact, during the Western Han Dynasty, the entire Chengyang County, the Taishan County and the Beihai County Donghai County were all county-level county-level county-level county-level administrative unit, but after the emergence of the governor, the politics of aristocratic families began to rise in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to weaken local power, the central government began to split the major counties and divide a Langya County into five.
The broken history of Langya County also reveals the migration journey of the Wang family of Langya. At first, Wang Dao established the Wang family of Langya in Jimo City, the ancient capital of Qi. However, with the migration of Shuihuan and Langya County, the base camp of Langya Wang family is now located in Linqi County, Langya.
This place is easy to find. I went south and east along the Haihe River. After walking about three days and about two hundred kilometers, I went south and east not far away from Haihe River!
It is truly a local tribe that has been passed down for more than 300 years. The north is deserted, but when we head south to the vicinity of Qishui, neat fields and fertile fields appeared again. The green wheat fields and millet fields were unfolding neatly by the water like field grids. The farmer wearing a straw hat worked hard to dig the ground with a hoe. By the river, there were also water trucks rotating, lifting the cool Qishui up and watering them into the fields.
This place is a typical feudal manor economy. The center of the field is also next to the river. A very wide and grand manor stands there. The attributes of the troubled times are indeed displayed here. Around the manor, a moat of three or four meters was dug a large circle. Behind the moat, there is a village wall about two meters high. Although it is not as majestic as the stone castle in the West in the Middle Ages, it also has outstanding defense!
After eating cold steamed buns and pickles for three more days, the soldiers accompanying the manor became a little excited, especially Zang Hong. He probably fought here. Now he can come here openly and eat and drink for free. It’s simply wonderful!
But just when he was thinking about his stomach and wanted to go in, Jia Xu was annoyed and grabbed his collar again, pulled him aside and muttered something in a low voice. He looked at Wang Hou who was looking at the manor, but he still clasped his fists and took his own soldiers under his command in a whistle. He actually left the cavalry team and led his troops westward again.
There were fifty-one living people missing in his team, so Wang Hou naturally couldn't see him. However, Jia Xu and he were friends in the same toilet, so he couldn't harm him. Wang Hou didn't ask, and just continued to walk on the road leisurely. The plain in southern Shandong was indeed not small. Looking not far away, he crossed the river from the bridge and walked for almost half an hour. Then he reached the edge of the farm just now.
I happened to see a few farmers who seemed to have just finished their morning farm work. This time I came to deceive the soldiers and food of the Wang family of Langya. So Wang Hou quickly rubbed his old face, and looked as if he was coming to see the fellow villager and turned over and got off the horse. He walked up with a smile. His smiling face looked like the big wolf gray in Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf grandmother.
"Several Wang's father-in-law are here in the King of Jingyuantang in Taiyuan, this one..., this one..., this one..."
It is rare that Wang Da is a vulgar and humanistic person. Before he finished speaking, he actually got stuck. In his shocked eyes, several old farmers looked at him like burning their butts. After a look, they ran away. In a blink of an eye, they disappeared into the farmland like a rabbit, making Wang Hou's old face feel sad and embarrassed.
Isn't this a damn friend coming from afar?
And it wasn't over yet! While Wang Hou was stunned, the entire farm of thousands of acres of fields was like a slap in the fire. The farmer grinned and ran away with a hoe on his back. There were also jingling sounds of gongs in the farm. Wang Hou picked up the telescope, and the walls of the village were full of crossbowmen holding bows and arrows.
Is I that scary?
But no matter what, the Wang family of Langya still wanted to fool..., cough, they still wanted to visit relatives and friends. They jumped on their horses and took their more than 450 personal soldiers. Wang Hou wandered around and walked towards the entrance of the village where the suspension bridge had already been pulled up.
However, when people are unlucky, they can even put their teeth in their teeth when drinking cold water. In order to show sincerity, they walked slowly here. But they didn't think so. In the endless wheat fields, a buzzing arrow suddenly shot out. With a sniffle, Wang Hou covered his chest and fell off his horse.
"Who is the thief? He dares to offend my Zhuge Family Wenhui Hall! Take my sword!"
Seeing Wang Hou shooting down, another rebuke sounded in the rice fields. He led dozens of soldiers wearing hats, short clothes and armor, and short swords. He was a thin man who jumped up and down like a little monkey and rushed up excitedly.
"Husband!"
This head was almost shot out of the finale by an arrow, which was so scared that all three souls and seven spirits moved. Cao Hongjie was the first to rush to Wang Hou with great excitement and grabbed his arm nervously.
However, sitting on the ground, Wang Hou did not rub the chest of the arrow, but instead grinned his teeth and rubbed his butt. He untied his robe in surprise. He saw that the arrow was barely shot into a corner of the lobster armor. When he pounced down, it even fell. He let out a long breath. Cao Hongjie was amused and fisted him again.
But the woman changed her face so quickly. When she heard that the guard behind her had already dismounted and had angered with the uninvited guest of this group of clan soldiers, suddenly there was anger on her handsome and proud little face.
"Boy, dare to hurt my man, I have criticized you!"
He pulled out the green steel sword in anger and like a little hen protecting his calf, Cao Hongjie rushed to the front of the formation in anger, and the wheel sword began to chop up. Seeing the lively fighting in front and sitting on the ground, Wang Hou was extremely sad and crying...
What's the matter? If you can't make friends with relatives, you will be beaten up by relatives at the door? Why are you so unlucky?
"Hey! Show mercy under the knife, don't kill anyone!!!"
