Either Deputy Envoy Shi Jing, his subordinates of the Imperial Guard, and the generals and guards of the Zuo Qianniu Guard, had already encountered the hands of traitors and bandits a few days ago in a remote and poor place with high mountains and dense forests, steep terrain, and few people along the line of Fanqi, Lingqiu, and Laiyuan. They were killed and their entire army was destroyed, and their bodies were thrown into an unknown place in the deep mountains and valleys and under the cliffs.

Zhiguo Lieutenant and Central Town General Han Youfu did not think that the shocking bloody incident of the death and misfortune of Envoy Huangfu and his group in the Jinchuan Posthouse could be replicated in the same way on Puyin Xing, a traffic artery that connects the east and the west, connecting Hedong and Hebei, and winding for hundreds of miles in the deep Taihang Mountains.

You should know that the two places are completely different. The weather, seasons, and geographical conditions have already determined that such a large-scale killing and massacre is absolutely impossible. On the main traffic road of Puyinxing,

It was copied and replicated.

Compared to Jinchuan Posthouse, the cold current invaded, the temperature dropped sharply, and the snow was heavy and difficult to walk in the few days before and after the incident. The weather and geographical conditions were close to the mountain closure and ban.

Almost all of the Puyinxing Ancient Road was not affected by the late spring cold current. Passers-by and merchants who traded goods and materials, and the mule and horse caravans of wealthy merchants were shoulder to shoulder, coming and going, with heavy traffic and people coming and going.

If you want to commit such a large-scale massacre on such a noisy and busy traffic artery without being known, it is definitely a daydream and a wishful thinking that will surely reach the sky!

Even the Jinchuan Posthouse is relatively speaking located in a place that is difficult, secluded and rarely visited.

Soon after the murder, at most half a day, the patrolling and transporting supply convoy discovered the fire scene of the massacre and the killing, and passed the warning of the tragedy to the general of the Yunzhou military town through the warning method of wolf smoke and beacon fire.

If such a murder happened and was staged on a busy and busy main road, I think that I and my brothers would not have to travel for two days and one night, and then run again like a group of frightened mules in less than a day and one night. The journey of hundreds of miles made Han Youfu, a brave and fearless lieutenant, first become the leader of the Red Feather Express Cavalry, who traveled 800 miles in an emergency, and then became the temporary leader of the search cavalry for important people.

I am afraid that when I turn around and go to Fanqi County, I will encounter the Yuzhou Zhechou Duwei Mansion or the YuzhouThe governor's office, or the Lingqiu County government, or the red feather courier or the urgent postman who went to the Bingzhou Grand Commandery to report the incident.

And until now, I have not seen any signs or evidence of any heinous crime along the way.

On the entire Puyinxing Ancient Road, which is hundreds of miles long, winding, rugged, with overlapping mountains and gullies, except for the soldiers and officials who were chased by dogs, with rabbit hair flying everywhere and cold in the wind, I didn't even see a single hair of a stupid guy wearing official clothes and eating imperial food...

While riding his horse, the Zhiguo Lieutenant Han Youfu thought in his heart...

...

At Wangzhuangbao Post Station, Han Youfu, the Central Town General, who had planned to rest and stay for a while, mechanically repeated what he had done at Daying Post Station. Seeing that it was only the second quarter of the first watch, he decided to rush the entire search team to Lingqiu County overnight and stay overnight at the military camp near the east gate of the county. They would set off at 4:00 am tomorrow.

Only when he arrived at Lingqiu County Office, Han Youfu, the lieutenant holding the secret token of the Royal Guard, met the county magistrate here and listened to his introduction, did he realize that, as expected, the development of the whole incident had far exceeded his expectations.

On the afternoon of February 14, at about 5:00 pm, Lingqiu County Office received urgent reports from Zhaobai Post Station, Zhaobai Township, Postmaster, and Village Chief.

About 13 or 14 miles east of their Zhaobai town, on the western foot of Baishishan, there is a steep mountain road called Chaierya, which is also the steepest, narrowest and most difficult to walk on the entire Puyinxing Ancient Road. At the same time, it is also the most likely place for any unexpected situation to occur. A large area of ​​rockfall and collapse occurred.

The head of the village of Zhaobai, the clerk of the inspection department, and the postmaster of the Zhaobai Posthouse, and a group of people, organized the local townships and civilians as soon as possible, and led by the head of the village, the clerks and the servants, to go to the western section of the mountain road where the collapse occurred for emergency rescue.

According to the report from the two hunters who ventured to climb and cross over, the entire section of the road where the large area of ​​rockfall and collapse occurred is located about two miles from the entrance of Chaierya, in a "J"-shaped bend. The range of the rockfall and collapse is at least five or six feet long and more than two feet high.

If you want to completely clear such a large area of ​​collapsed rocks on such a narrow and steep mountain road and clear the blocked mountain post road, even if you work all night long, I am afraid it will not be a task that can be completed in three to five days.

I also hope that the county magistrate can be more considerate and check that they need to follow the official laws and regulations this year. The hard work and difficulties of the villagers and laborers who perform corvée labor can be for the local people under the rule of the governor.Count a few more days of labor service, and at the same time, I hope the county magistrate can provide them, the civilians who are rescuing and clearing the way, with a batch of urgently needed supplies, equipment, food, and so on.

After listening to the brief introduction of Lingqiu County Magistrate, Zhiguo Lieutenant Han Youfu, who knew some inside stories and hidden secrets, immediately understood a cruel reality that couldn't be clearer, that is, the large-scale rockfall and collapse of the "J"-shaped bend at the west end of the Chai'er Cliff in Zhaobai Township was by no means an unpredictable natural disaster, but a premeditated man-made disaster, and the target was Deputy Envoy Shi Jing and his subordinates, the officials and clerks of the Royal Guards, and the guards of the Zuo Qianniu Guards.

As a mid-level officer of the Yunzhou Military Town Zhechong Duwei Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Grand Military Governor's Office, Lieutenant Zhiguo and General of the Central Town Han Youfu, although it is impossible and impossible, he knows everything about the various military towns and military states under the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Grand Military Governor's Office, as well as the entire Hedong Road, the states, counties, prefectures, counties, mountains, terrain, and river valleys within the administrative jurisdiction.

However, for the Puyin Xing under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou Zhechong Duwei Mansion, this military key ancient road that connects Hedong and Hebei, which is east-west, has steep, dangerous, and rugged key points. Lieutenant Han Youfu, who has experienced it several times a year, still has quite a few of his own experiences.
