In fact, Duan Jingzhu's understanding is not accurate and comprehensive.

After living in Yandi for decades and accumulating wealth, the Yanjing Cui family secretly placed the base camp in the depths of Yanshan to hide money and leave a way out to prevent accidents, but the real strengthening of the strength of the cottage was after the destruction of the main branch of Cangzhou.

This branch disappeared so suddenly and strangely.

Until now, the Yanjing branch has not figured out how they were destroyed, and whose hands the wealth accumulated by the family for thousands of years has fallen.

Their first suspicion was precisely the Liao army they were relying on and contributing to.

They felt that it should be the Cangzhou branch that coveted the production technology and wealth of Cangzhao to provoke the Liao army to eradicate Cangzhao, and used the knife to kill people to seize benefits, but inadvertently provoked the greed of the Liao army, and the Liao army took the opportunity of going south in the autumn to 'fight the grass valley', taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Cangzhou branch, and wiped out the branch in one fell swoop and robbed the wealth.

The Liao army that carried out the mission was an elite army, directly under the king of Yan, and the embarrassing news that the whole army was annihilated in Cangzhou was deliberately covered up by the king of Yan, not a family like the Cui family of a different race and no high-ranking figures in the army could know the specific and accurate situation.

The Cui family heard the Cangzhou government's propaganda of defeating the Liao army and detecting and eliminating the Tongliao traitor Cui family hiding in Cangzhou, but they scoffed at the former's claim.

The Cangzhou army can defeat thousands of Khitan elite ironclad troops, that's.

Being able to uproot the Cangzhou branch that was very deeply hidden and powerful in one fell swoop, and not letting a single person, even a slave who no one noticed, escape, such a fierce and efficient method is not something that the rotten and slow waste Cangzhou government and army can do.

Of course, the possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

Maybe the Cangzhou government and army will suddenly work hard and be efficient and effective under the stimulation of money and wealth?

As for the Cangzhao family, who got the castle of Cangzhou's own branch and a large area of land. On the surface, it seems that it is the biggest winner of Deli, but the Yanjing Cui family does not think that Cangzhao has the ability to do such a clean and neat job in this major matter.

Cangzhao also made a fortune by relying on strange lewd skills. can afford to spend money to buy the fixed family property left over from the Cangcui branch.

However, this does not mean that the Yanjing Cui family does not hate Cangzhao.

The cause of the incident arose. King Yan of Liao killed people and annexed the Cui family's wealth. Even if the Cui family knew this, they couldn't directly retaliate against King Yan. The Cangzhou government, the prefect who has won the great merit of eliminating traitors, is dead. The general of the Pan family, who was a disciple of the Pan family, also found an opportunity to die in the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo the year before last. The remaining bane Cangzhao is still there, and the more he mixes up, the more majestic he becomes, which makes the Cui family resentful, and he must take revenge and vent his hatred.

That's how the assassination of Zhao Gonglian came about on Chinese New Year's Eve.

What taught the Yanjing Cui family the most is that they are further deeply aware of the correctness and profundity of the old saying that 'if you are not of my race, your heart will be different'.

The Cui family is Han, no matter how loyal and hard-working. They have never been able to integrate into the upper echelons of the Khitan ruling class, and when they are betrayed and slaughtered, the Khitans will not hesitate to kill them all and seize the wealth of their eyes.

Aliens are not worthy of true allegiance, and mutual use is the norm. This new belief must be passed on unswervingly as a family inheritance rule.

They believed that it was King Yan who had taken the foundation wealth of their family for nothing.

This revenge also has to be avenged, but it is trapped in reality, and it has to be carried out rigorously and tactfully and secretly.

For this reason, the main branch of the Cui family in Yanjing began to gather forces similar to the regular army in Yanshan Cottage. Horse thieves and robbers robbed merchants and wealthy merchants everywhere, desperately seizing wealth to make up for the huge losses caused by Cangzhou's own branch, and at the same time damaging the interests of King Yan's rule. vent hatred, and by the way, raise an armed force that can effectively protect the Cui family in times of crisis.

After the rise of the Jin army, the Cui family had the intention to retaliate for betraying King Yan. I want to play the old rules of family survival and inheritance and profit from the dispute between the two countries. The family business already had the foundation and convenience of dealing with the Jurchens, and actively contacted the Jin army secretly. Transporting all kinds of materials urgently needed by the Jin Army to exchange for huge profits, and at the same time selling the Jin Army.

The Jin army showed strong combat effectiveness, and the huge and powerful Khitan couldn't clean up the small Jin country like a weak and toothless tiger, and the army was beaten again and again, but it was afraid that it would be destroyed. The Jin Kingdom will inevitably rise up, but I am afraid that it will be the new master who will rely on it in the near future, and the Cui family will follow more and more closely and support it even more.

In addition to protecting the Cui family's wealth and family members who did not need to show up often, as well as looting, Yanshan's armed force also had the task of escorting supplies and selling Yanjing intelligence in the name of escorting merchants, and trying to fund and curry favor with the Jin army.

There has never been a shortage of traitors and traitors in the Eastern world.

Like the Cui family, who was originally a side branch back then, but relied on the prosperity of the people of the branch, and took advantage of the huge losses and weakness of the descendants in the war and political chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, they killed the head of the family and all the men at home with conspiracy and tricks, including the young children who didn't know anything, and occupied the huge family property of the branch of the family, and quickly sold the clean and fixed property according to the early collusion, absconded and absconded in other places for more than ten years, and continued to eradicate the male members of the lineage by various means. It wasn't until time passed that no one was held accountable that he moved to a new place and began to restore his original surname, claiming to be an authentic descendant of Shandong.

In the years that followed, they believed in the teachings of non-drug, non-husband, malevolent and beneficial ancestors, betrayed the interests of the country and the nation, tasted the great sweetness, and were addicted to it in the morning, and they were unwilling to let go of the opportunity.

Duan Jingzhu said: "My brothers and I found out about this situation, and we wanted to exterminate this cottage, but we found that it was unrealistic to want to fight thousands of opponents with our subordinate horse thieves who were not aligned in their hearts. Just that treacherous and solid level, even if we use human lives, we can't break it even if we die. That place is similar to Erlong Mountain. A road up the mountain. ”

"In addition, we are also afraid that we will not be able to do this well, but it will provoke the Cui family to pay attention to it and become vigilant, which will increase the difficulty of extermination. Just wait for Childe to come up with a good idea. ”

In fact, before Duan Jingzhu said these words, Zhao Yue had a plan.

He didn't rush to say it, but said, "It's not difficult." Don't think about it anymore. When the time comes, you can control your subordinates well, and you can achieve results by cooperating with me. ”

Gather together, rest for the night, and the next day will be led by Duan Jingzhu to continue to rush early.

In the afternoon of the same day, everyone was galloping on the empty road, and the two Hai Dongqing cruising in the sky suddenly flew back.

Wu Neng and Xu Jin glanced at the specific posture of Hai Dongqing flapping his wings and flying. Suddenly realized: "Childe, there are hundreds of cavalry heading north a few miles ahead. ”

Saying that, Hai Dongqing beckoned in both directions.

The two Hai Dongqing immediately flew down. Fell on the shoulders of the master and enjoyed the reconnaissance meritorious service. Delicious strips of meat rewarded by the host.

Birds are not human after all, their IQ is limited, and no matter how well they are trained, they can't report the situation in detail and clearly. With Harrier Eagle reconnaissance and early warning, we can only roughly know the enemy's position and movements, as for who it is and how many, I don't have the ability to express it.

The crowd stopped.

Zhao Yue unbuttoned his hat and exposed his ears, listened quietly for a while, and said, "It's going north." There were cars and horses, probably large caravans. It should be two or three hundred horsemen. The march is not fast. This area is a wilderness hill that lends itself to seclusion. Let's get closer and see what it's up to. ”

Everyone was a brave and courageous man, and no one was afraid of hundreds of cavalry, following Zhao Yue to chase forward.

The fast horse chased for a distance, getting closer and closer to the target, in order to prevent the other party from being alert when he heard the sound of the rapid and heavy horse's hooves, Zhao Yue gestured to let everyone slow down the horse and slowly keep up.

The other party was dragged down by a carriage, and it was really not fast to move on the snow. The slow horse also quickly approached. Come closer. Even if the horse walks slowly, if there is an ear in front of it, he can detect someone behind him. Zhao Yue motioned for everyone to pause. He jumped off his horse and quickly dived closer to observe it alone.

Finally saw the traces of people, and took a look. Zhao Yue couldn't help but be stunned.

The scene in front of me was so strange.

There are more than a dozen carriages in front of them that are slowly moving forward, all of which are the kind of wide and sturdy van-type dual-purpose carriages invented and manufactured by Cangzhao at the earliest, with a large cargo capacity. It is not afraid of wind and rain, and is popular with merchants and the transportation industry. It was popular in the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years and spread to the Liao Kingdom. Yandi is not nothing, and it is not uncommon to see it here. But the people who drove the car were all men who spoke Chinese in the Henan area of the Great Song Dynasty, and about 20 armed men who were guarding the side, and they were all dressed like ordinary people in the Song Kingdom. Apparently they are from the Great Song Dynasty.

The strange thing is that this convoy that looks like a caravan of the Great Song Dynasty is closely guarded on the left and right sides by about 200 Liao cavalry, obviously all of them are elite iron cavalry, and there are two generals in bright leather armor in front and behind. Except for the last carriage, the carriages with such a large loading capacity are all pulled by a single horse, and the horses are easy to move forward and move briskly, and it is obvious that the things pulled are not heavy.

Mobilize so many big cars, pull things that are not heavy, and guard them so solemnly, what is in the car?

Could it be that a certain nobleman of the Great Song Dynasty who defected to the Liao State saluted his family members who traveled with him?

Even if it is.

What kind of nobles of the Great Song Dynasty deserve to be treated so solemnly by the arrogant Liao people who don't die on the donkey?

Zhao Yuezheng was wondering, so he heard someone in the carriage at the front.

"General Mo, how far are we from Yanjing?"

This person speaks an authentic Great Song Dynasty Kyoto dialect, and he has to speak in a tone in just one sentence, and the last word is still dragging the sound, revealing a strong official flavor of frivolity and arrogance.

The Liao general on the right side of the car was asked, the leather armor was the most expensive, and the war horse was the most majestic horse, and he was the main general of the Liao army on this trip, and it was Mo Lihengye, the head general of the Yan Wang's Mansion.

As a Khitan with a deep sense of superiority, he is used to despising and arrogant the Song people, and he is a strong general, the confidant of Yeluchun, the king of Yan, and his heart is more arrogant and arrogant. ”

He looked disdainfully at the well-maintained fat face exposed by the truck window, and said with a smile on his face: "Steward Zhao, we are still nearly a hundred miles away from Yanjing." ”

Seeing Steward Zhao's senior master pretending to be arrogant and nodding slightly, Mo Li Hengye felt humiliated, his heart was even more angry, and his heart became more and more shameless and disdainful: "Gangs up to sell the Zhenguo weapon and the divine arm crossbow, and betray the country for profit to the level of madness like you, you don't know shame, but use this as a handle as a sense of honor and superiority?" Bah! ”

"What else do you say that the little savage Jin Guo is stubborn and stubborn, he doesn't know the number of days, he doesn't know how to obey and rebel, and he arrogantly challenges Da Liao, and he deserves death. Song Liao was a fraternal and friendly neighbor. As a brother country that stresses faith and righteousness, Da Liao is in trouble, and Da Song has the obligation to help Da Liao teach Xiao Jin who doesn't know whether to live or die, helping the brother country is to help Da Song, and selling the god arm crossbow to King Yan is to love Da Song. I'm going to do it again! ”

"I really don't know where you Song bureaucrats have learned all day long Confucius and Mencius's Confucianism, righteousness and discipline."

"Your Song Kingdom is richer than my Great Liao Kingdom, but with you shameless and cowardly wastes in charge, the wealth of the Song Kingdom will sooner or later be returned to our brave and warlike Khitan wolf descendants."

Steward Zhao lived in the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo, never went abroad to be oppressed, with the identity of the master and was flattered all day long, he felt good about himself, this time he took on a heavy responsibility, through the importance of King Yan to the goods, he raised his identity, and took the big in Liaodi also put a sense of superiority and arrogance of his identity, and he was also arrogant, and he was not used to being arrogant, and he could not be restrained in his arrogant words and deeds, and he did not have the shameful consciousness of betraying the country for glory.

Mo Li Hengye couldn't help but say again: "Ben will know that it is cold and cold, and it is inconvenient to eat and stay, it is a little bitter, you Song people are too delicate and unbearable, and you can't stand it." But the northern climate conditions are such that there is no way. You bear with it. This time, the king of your family, Runan, is so sincere to my wolf master, and his credit is so great, when you arrive in Yanjing, you will be entertained by the housekeeper. ”

When he said these words, the contempt and slap in the face in his meaning and tone were fully revealed.

Mo Li Heng said in his heart: What are you arrogant?

Your lord and master are just whispering in front of my lord to please the slave and maid who seeks profit, what kind of thing are you, the head of the lowly slave and maid? Dare to play a majestic show against Ben General?

No matter how arrogant you are, no matter how much credit your master has made to my master, the reception of you is only at the level of a palace steward at best, and no official with a little status in my Daliao will come forward to receive you. What is the noble status of my wolf master? I'm afraid it's not rare to see you at all.

As long as the payment should be given a lot of your master's. Your master will never be dissatisfied, and will try his best to continue to resell more secret weapons of the Song Kingdom for windfalls.

Dog slave, if you know each other, be honest with your tail, don't be comfortable with yourself. Otherwise, Hugh blames you for embarrassment.

Steward Zhao didn't care that Mo Li Hengye's insult to the Song people was a soft waste, and he might also think that the Song people were like this in his heart.

As soon as he heard the three words of King Runan, he was immediately unhappy, and corrected: "You are wrong. It's not the king of Runan, my prince is the king of Anqing. ”

Then he added: "It is the most noble King of Anqing in my emperor's family and the prince of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

From the king of Runan to the king of Anqing, there is an allusion in this.

The Great Song Dynasty lost his heirs in Renzong's generation, and had no choice but to continue the son of Zhao Yunrang, who was also known as King Pu of the same sect at that time, as the crown prince, that is, the later Song Shenzong. Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the prince Sun of Runan. The political status of the King of Runan naturally rose and became the most noble royal family in the Great Song Dynasty.

When Daojun was on the throne, he felt that the former emperor's title of this sect was not good enough, so he changed it to the current King of Anqing.

Mo Li Yokono took over this task, of course he understood this allusion, but he deliberately called it so wrong to stab Steward Zhao.

You, a dog, also know that your family was lucky to get the Song Kingdom by the ordinary prince's clan?

became a royal heir, you don't love the Song Kingdom with all your might, but you betray the fatal interests of the country just to seek wealth, how stupid do you be? How shameless is it?

I don't know a few big words, and I don't know how to understand the big truth, and I really can't understand your patriotic and imperial businessman's behavior! (To be continued.) )
