When Liu Rugao was stolen on the top of the city, he saw that all the gentry in the county had climbed onto the top of the city and looked out.

When he looked back, he saw that Mr. Zhao had already left along the official road surrounded by more than hundreds of cavalry.

Looking at the scene of smoke and dust rolling in the sky under the setting sun, Liu Rugao suddenly thought of the song "The Story of Sang", and thought that if Luo Fu's husband was not fictional, he would definitely be a character like Brother Zhao Nian.

‘There are more than a thousand horses in the east, and the husband is on the top. Why do you need to know the husband? The white horse follows the black horse;

The blue silk ponytail is tied with a golden horse head; the deer and Lu sword in the waist can be worth more than tens of millions.

The minor officials of the fifteenth government, the officials of the twenty dynasties, the ministers of the thirty, and the 40 special city residences.

He is pure and fair, and has a lot of beards. He walks in the palace of Yingying and goes to the palace of Ranran.

Thousands of people sitting in the seat all said that their husbands and sons were different.’

In an instant, Liu Magistrate Liu felt endless regret in his heart, feeling that his decision might be wrong. Brother Zhao Nian may not be able to pass this level. How can he see him again in the future?

"It can be said that this plague god has been sent away." There was also the gentry who was not open and said proudly: "Sai Linmu, a bullshit, I also want to send my children to Tiger City to send shit. How can I be rich?"

"Your head is broken, and your arse is matched with a dog!" Liu Rugao cursed and went downstairs angrily. It was all because of these rich people who swept the snow in front of the door that they could not be a human being. It was definitely not because of himself, who was afraid of provoking Zeng Yiben, so he didn't help!

"Why did he scold me?" The man was still there and the monk couldn't touch his head. For thousands of years, Guangdong people have built villages to protect themselves. Is there anything wrong?

~~

Speaking of Mr. Zhao, the same year's refusal to save him, he became more and more aroused his temper. He kept urging everyone to travel overnight, and finally arrived at the Han River outside Chaozhou City at dawn the next day.

Huang Xiaohu, deputy chief of the escort department who was exploring the way forward, returned to report that Zeng Yiben's team was still heading north along the Han River, and was still thirty miles away from the city.

"So slowly came?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but look excited. The entire water journey from Hanjiangkou to Fucheng was only eighty miles. It was the third day since Zeng Yiben captured Nan'ao Island and started to go up the river. He had not yet arrived at the city.

"Because there are many village strongholds along the way, they have to talk one by one and only dare to advance after the negotiations are made. Otherwise, if they are bitten from behind after the passage, it will be troublesome." Huang Xiaohu explained.

"So, they haven't had any meat?" Wu Chengen interrupted and asked.

"No, because Lin Daoqian was placed in Chaoyang County after recruiting the hospital, and all ethnic groups and villages were unable to rest day and night. They built high walls and strengthened prevention. Zeng Yiben was unwilling to bite these hard bones without any flesh." Huang Xiaohu was actually a scout from the Qi family army. He was originally going to work at the security department. Mr. Zhao was worried about the safety of Zhao Erye in Chaozhou, so he transferred him to the security department first.

Mr. Zhao is really a filial son who has created the world!

"What are you waiting for? Come into the city quickly!" Mr. Zhao suddenly squeezed his horse's belly.

~~

Chaozhou City is not a well-prepared square city, but is built on the Han River, like a lying silkworm.

The famous Guangji Bridge is connected to Chaozhou City and the east bank of the river.

This ancient bridge, as famous as Zhaozhou Bridge and Lugou Bridge, adopts a unique floating beam combination structure. The east and west sections are stone beam bridges composed of five-sided or hexagonal piers. There are 126 pavilions with flying eaves and brackets on the piers, which can be used to protect pedestrians from sunlight and rain.

In the middle of the two stone bridges, there is a floating bridge made of eighteen hardwood boats. The floating bridge is fixed with three iron cables, each weighing 4,000 kilograms. The reason for this structure is that the water volume during the Han River during the flood season is very terrifying, and the river surface is more than one mile wide. If the stone bridge is used all, the large and dense piers will seriously affect the flood discharge capacity.

The structure combined with floating beams can reduce the piers in the middle and greatly reduce the resistance to runoff. When encountering Hongxun, opening the floating bridge can quickly drain the flood, which also protects the safety of the bridge.

In short, this is not only the peak of bridge engineering in my country, but also a beautiful work of art.

Mr. Zhao and his party came from the east and were shocked to see this bridge like a pavilion on the river from afar. This bridge is so big and beautiful. It seems that Chaozhou is really endless!

But Mr. Zhao immediately didn't bother to admire the bridge because it was crowded with people who were fleeing from the city.

Looking at the fleeing army driving animals, carrying bags, carrying babies, and supporting the elderly and the young, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be impossible to be pleasing to the eye.

"Where are you running away?" He couldn't help but ask loudly, "Isn't the pirate coming? Isn't it more dangerous outside the city?"

No one answered, people just looked at him blankly, and many people didn't even look at him, just rushing to the road.

"Sir, they don't understand the official language." Huang Xiaohu hurriedly whispered.

"Go to Biandu?" Zhao Erye gave out the Cantonese language he learned on the way.

Still no one pays attention to it...

"The people of Chaozhou do not speak Cantonese, the Chaoshan dialect they speak is more similar to Fujian dialect." Huang Xiaohu said again.

"..." Zhao Erye glanced speechlessly at his Cantonese teacher Li Liangzhu, a Guangdong graduate from Yufeng Academy.

"Sorry, Master, I was wrong." It is true that Li Liangzhu is from Panyu, Guangzhou, but he grew up in Jiangxi with Youhuan's father since childhood, so he only speaks Cantonese, but he doesn't know that not all Cantonese people speak Cantonese.

"I'm sorry, you." Zhao Shouzheng pointed to his incompetent disciple depressedly, and had to give up his plan to persuade the people to return to the city.

Although Huang Xiaohu can speak Chaoshan dialect, it is not convincing to express it through translation.

He changed his mind and was about to let someone open the way, and then cross the bridge and enter the city.

But when he heard a sudden commotion in Guangji Gate opposite the bridge, Mr. Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him, but he couldn't see it clearly. He could only hear the crying and screaming louder and louder.

The crowds across the bridge became sparse, and the guards quickly took the opportunity to protect Mr. Zhao and his men to the west bank of the Jiangxi River. Only then did they see that the defenders were trying to close the city gate, but the people were going out of the city. Shuangshui started to yell and fight inside and outside Guangji Gate.

In order to disperse the people who blocked the city gates, the officers and soldiers in the yellow uniforms held guns in their hands and stabbed the crowd mercilessly. Many of them were stabbed to the ground...

"Stop!" Zhao Shouzheng's eyes were so angry that he couldn't help but sink into his dantian and shouted loudly.

I could understand this sentence, and everyone could not help but stop moving. Looking in the sound, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a fifth-rank official robe appeared outside the city gate under the escort of a group of elite warriors.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhao shouted, the nervous atmosphere magically eased. The reason why the officers and soldiers were in a hurry to close the door was because they found a large group of knights on the top of the city to cross Guangji Bridge. The officer was worried that it was Zeng Yiben's vanguard cavalry, so he quickly ordered the city gate to be closed.

Now that I saw that the officials coming were from the court, the alarm was naturally lifted.

When Mr. Zhao heard Huang Xiaohu ask the whole story, his face turned pale. His execution ability is too weak, right? He has arrived at the city, and the city gate is wide open. The ones who are coming are really thieves, and now they will break the city directly!

"It's so bad." He sighed and entered the city surrounded by guards.

The guards followed the pre-developed plan and protected several juren to the government office and the county office to come to see the city officials.

Mr. Zhao did not go to the yamen, so he went straight to the Guangji Gate Tower. On the tower, a thousand households and several subordinates came to greet him.

Seeing the fifth-rank official robe on Zhao Shouzheng, the thousand households did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly asked Shangguan where he was.

After Mr. Zhao presented the appointment letter of the Tongzhi of the Coast Defense of Chaozhou Prefecture, the thousand households quickly knelt on one knee to salute.

"I am not good at guarding thousands of households in Donglongshui Village. I pay homage to Lord Sima!"

Zhao Erye, the co-guilt of the coastal defense, was in charge of military affairs, and all the four major coastal watersheds were under his control, so he was respected as "Sima". Tan Qianhu was his direct subordinate.

"Tan Qianhu's official words are very good." Mr. Zhao was very happy and finally could communicate normally.

In fact, civil and military officials must be selected by the Ministry of Education, so how could they not speak official language?

"Thank you, Sima, for the compliment." Tan Yong grinned.

"But shouldn't your Donglongshui Village guard Phoenix Island?" Zhao Shouzheng changed his mind and asked, "Why did you retreat to the city before Zeng Yiben came?"

"This..." Tan Yong couldn't help but say embarrassingly: "Zeng Kou's ships are strong and powerful, and the water village's defense is simple and not enough. The last general will follow the plan formulated by Taizun. If Nan'ao Island is lost, he will take his brothers back to the city and defend Guangji Gate."

"Who is too respectful?" Zhao Shouzheng asked lightly.

"Hou Taizun." Tan Yong said with his neck tightened.

"It's nonsense!" But Zhao Shouzheng said sternly: "I have communicated with the prefect Hou several times and asked in detail about the four major water villages of Chaozhou Prefecture! These include your Donglong Water Village. How did you get the information completely opposite? He said that you must defend the enemy in front of Fenghuangzhou, and never allow pirates to cross Fenghuangzhou half a step!"

"This..." Tan Yong did not expect that his lying was exposed on the spot. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Sima Mingjian, now the whereabouts of the Taizun are unknown, and the army in the camp is in panic. How can we defend against the enemy from Phoenix Island? Besides, I, a small thousand household, speak less than a sound. I can only do whatever the adults in the city say."

As he said that, he kowtowed hard and said, "Now, Sima has arrived, and he will have a backbone in his humble position. I will listen to Sima in the future!"

Mr. Zhao couldn't help but look at Mr. Wu, thinking that this kid is quite good-looking.

His attack was taught by Wu Chengen, and his purpose was naturally to scare this guy and make him obedient.

Wu Chengen nodded slightly and signaled him to continue his performance.

"Hmph, you're lucky." Zhao Shouzheng snorted and said lightly: "Now when you are employed, you will be the first to escape at the battle. If you lose your merits in this battle, you will be fine. Otherwise, you will settle the accounts with you. Have you heard clearly?!"

"Yes, I will definitely strive to make a merit and lose my sins!" Tan Yong quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Get up first." Zhao Shouzheng's eyes turned to the city, and he saw several officials of the seventh and eighth rank who had already arrived at the city gate, and he was climbing up panting.
