Ouyang Shi saw that Yang Yingqi was anxious, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, the Sixth Elder knows that the Loyal Army is his own person." At that time, Zong Han sent people to take over the city he occupied, and he did not resist, so he handed it over generously, and led the troops eastward into Taihang Mountain, where he traveled for more than half a month, and was always half a day's journey away from the loyal army. Later, Zongwang's Eastern Route Army saw a good situation, and the sixth wanted to lead the troops to break through Taihang Mountain to join Zongwang. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "So it was a long time ago that Zonghan sent the sixth brother to attack the Zhongwu army, but it was ridiculous that Yansong actually hid it in the dark - he probably thought that it was only a Jin army chasing him, but he didn't know that it was the sixth brother. Well, the sixth brother wants to go south with Zong Wang, and this trick is also very dangerous, but Zong Han will not agree. If the sixth brother enters Hebei Zonghan, he won't be able to control him. Besides, according to what you just said, I'm afraid that the sixth brother didn't have 10,000 people in his hands at that time, right? Such a group of people followed behind Zongwang, in case they defected at a critical moment, maybe they might rob the eldest brother out, and then their Jurchens would be in a terrible mess. ”

Zong Wang Zong Han was able to use "from Jin to Song" to force Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi, Cao Guangbi and others to mess up, but this trick was completely useless to Xiao Tienu. Xiao Tienu acted at this time, and he was not at all restricted by the moral position of the Han Ministry, and he did not wrinkle his eyebrows when he did the matter of killing people and setting fire to collect grain.

Ouyang Shi said: "You're right, as soon as Zong Han received the suggestion of the sixth child, he immediately transferred him back, but this time he was asked to guard against Western Xia." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Beware of Western Xia? Now Zong Han and Western Xia have no fight...... Well, in this way, Zong Han is planning to leave the sixth brother idle for the time being. Fourth brother, when did Zong Han send the sixth brother to defend against Western Xia? Also, how did you get in touch with Sixth Brother? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "It should have been half a month ago that Zong Han sent the sixth child to guard against Western Xia. I've been looking for someone to inquire about him in the Jin Army, but it wasn't until recently that he got a definite response. It's just about the boss, and he still doesn't say a word. ”

Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "That's the sixth brother who can be a man!" He also said: "Zong Han is a coarse person on the outside and fine on the inside, and now he wants to fight the Great Song Dynasty and Hedong, and he has to use the strength of the Han and Khitan people, so for the time being, there are Yourong Yelu Yujian and the sixth brother, but the sixth brother has soldiers and horses, but there is no supply of food for the soldiers, let alone territory, and he will always be controlled by Zong Han in the long run." ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "Do you have a way to help him solve this matter?" ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "Since Zongwang went south, even our loyal army has been isolated, how can we still help the sixth brother who is far west of Datong?" Besides, Xiao Ziqi is now a rebel, and it is not right for us to help him, if we say that we are secretly helping...... That's a joke, how can the supply of an army of almost 10,000 people be carried out in secret? This matter can only be relied on by the sixth brother himself. ”

Ouyang Shi was quite disappointed and said, "Then you can only let the six slaves resign themselves to fate?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I'll think of a way, maybe I can help a little, but I'm not sure." ”

After Ouyang Shi left, Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "Sixth brother suddenly came with such news, is it unintentional, or is it intentional?" If you have a heart, then you will ask me for help through the fourth brother. What a proud man he is, if he had been forced to come to me for help, he would probably be in a bad situation at this moment! But now that Zong Wang and Tart Lazy are said to be married to the fourth brother, as long as the fourth brother shows his action to rescue the sixth brother, the two of them will definitely cut it off at all costs, and they will also step up the persecution of the sixth brother...... How good is that? No matter if you can't do it, if you want to manage it, you can only do it in a roundabout. How to take a detour? To the south is the Great Song Dynasty, and it can't be passed, but if you go north, how can you hide from Zong Wang and Zong Han's ears and eyes? Wait a minute! Now the main ones who keep the sixth brother in mind are Zong Wang and Zong Han, Wu Qimai may not care much about this matter, can he make a breakthrough from this way? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he ordered someone to send Ayimusi and asked: "We are afraid of the Han Dynasty, are there many merchants who go to Mobei?" ”

Ayimusi has recently become the president of the Han Mu's Chamber of Commerce, which is a semi-official position, but all the Wu'er people who want to do business with the Han Department have to come and pat him on the back, so Ayimusi is very comfortable, because he is happy, so he tries his best. At this time, I heard Yang Yingqi ask and said, "Yes! Our people sometimes cross the Great Xianbei Mountain to do business. However, business on the grassland is not easy to do, and those Mongolians and Wugu people like to rob and do not like to buy and sell. Unless the Han Ministry can send troops to escort us to business, then we will make a profit - we are all looking forward to that day. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Our Han Department needs good horses now. The world's good horses, mostly from the Mobei, the Western Regions, and Longyou. Although there are many horses in the northeast, there are not many good horses. I hope you will find a way to trade and buy more good horses. Is there anything you can do about this? ”

Ayimusi asked: "How many horses are not enough in our Han Department now?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "There are enough horses, but what I am talking about is a good horse." ”

Ayimusi said: "Good horses, we also have a lot of good horses in the Han Department." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "What I want is a maxima!" ”

Ayimu said: "Maxima? One in a million miles? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Yes! ”

Ayimusi sighed: "Seventh General, I didn't dare to talk much about military affairs, but now I want to say a word or two. Although I am a businessman, I also know that the use of horses on the battlefield is not only stronger, but also more! Thousands of good horses, that's what every country wants. As for the thousand-mile horse, although it is not useless, the number is always impossible to be large, and it can be used as a treasure, but a few more, or even a dozen thousand-mile horses, may not be helpful for the national strength. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I don't care about this, in short, I just want it!" Within a year, I want each of the generals of the Han Department to be equipped with a thousand miles of horses like Chitu and Wuqi! ”

Ayimusi frowned and said, "Seventh General, this ...... Well, I try. ”

"Not as much as possible, but by necessity!" Yang Yingqi said: "I can use public funds, but you have to do things for me." ”

Ayimusi nodded and said, "The best horses in the world need to be imported from the Great Food Countries. We are afraid that the merchants have traveled all over the countries of the Western Regions, and it is not difficult to go far to eat, but the road is far away, and the country is blocked, and we are afraid that we will not get a response in a few years. But there should also be some Maxima in Ganlong and Mobei, maybe we can start from there. I ordered someone to go to Western Xia and Mobei with my daughter, and try to seek the thousands of horses that the seven generals wanted. ”

"Daughter?" Yang Yingqi said: "You mean to ask for gold and silver?" ”

"yes." Ayimusi said: "Now our paper money is not as good as Xixia, and it is worse than grass in Mobei, so we have to bring gold and silver." ”

"That's not going to work." Yang Yingqi said: "The gold and silver in our territory are not enough, how can we go out!" ”

"In that case, it's going to be difficult." Ayimu said: "You don't need gold and silver, but what do you buy it?" A treasure like a glass bead, not everyone in Mobei likes it...... Well, the Mobei people need weapons, if the seven generals are willing to ......"

"No way!" Yang Yingqi said categorically: "An inch of iron is not allowed to enter Mobei, and violators will be expelled, beheaded, and their homes will be raided, this is an iron-clad decree, and no one can violate it!" ”

"This ......," Ayimu said, "it's difficult......

Yang Yingqi said: "For example, how about food? We haven't had anything else in the Han Department in the past two years, but we have the most food, and the amount is about to rot. ”

"Grain?" Ayimusi said: "If you want food, the people of Mobei will also recognize it." But Maxima is worth a thousand gold, so how much food does it take! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "There are many warehouses built by Han people in Linhuang Mansion, and there is a lot of grain in stock. You send people to buy grain there with money, and then transport it to Mobei to exchange horses with them. ”

Ayimusi smiled: "Seventh General, such a ......" pressed his mouth, and then he could hold back the word "bad idea" and said: "Such a good idea...... You can figure it out. Well, I'll try. He also said, "It's just that Xixia and Wu'er can buy it?" Do you also use grain? Hehe, the distance from Linhuang Mansion to Xixia is thousands of miles, and the journey is tens of thousands of miles to Wu'er, I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be transported there. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "You can first exchange grain and grass for cattle, sheep and ordinary horses, and then drive cattle, sheep and horses to exchange for thousands of miles of horses." ”

Ayimusi smiled: "How many cattle and sheep can you get!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Then I don't care, anyway, the most of our Han Department is these things now, what's wrong with exchanging excess things for what we need!" ”

Ayimusi said again: "Forget about the road to Mobei, we can send people to negotiate the price first, and then let them come to the border to trade." But it is difficult on the Western Xia side, along the way you have to pass through the jurisdiction of the lazy prince and the jurisdiction of the prime minister, not to mention that you can't get the Western Xia, even if you arrive, I'm afraid that you will lose a lot of cattle and sheep along the way. "Speaking of which, I still have to persuade Yang Yingqi to use a smarter method. In his opinion, it was simply a foolish thing to travel thousands of miles to trade with large quantities of goods, and he really couldn't understand why the Seventh General would do this.

Yang Yingqi said: "I said cattle and sheep, grain and grass, just as an example, in short, I want to find some things that Mobei and Xixia people like to sell - do you want me to teach you?" For example, along the way in Western Xia, you can first use sugar, glass, grain, etc. to exchange property with Zong Wang-Zong Wang, they just got a lot of good things from the Bianliang Tribulation, and then use these assets to make a good relationship with Zong Han, and do business in this way. Since the border between Kim and Xia, the border between the two countries has been uneasy, so the trade route from Tokyo Road to Western Xia has been abandoned. If you can revitalize this business road, you will earn what you have in the future. ”

Ayimu said: "This is also a reason. But he thought to himself, "You have made us merchants familiar with the road, are you preparing for the future use of troops?" But he only dared to guess this kind of thing, but he didn't dare to say it, but he vaguely felt that Yang Yingqi was going to open up the Mobei Trade Road and continue the Xixia Trade Road, and there must be a plan inside.
