Cangzhao five good men made a handful of ginseng and helped to break the horse thief. The men with Hebei accents were saved.

The horse thief was defeated. The men who were lightly wounded were gasping for breath and hurried to treat their wounds, and they were busy checking on the fallen compatriots to treat the seriously wounded, and they all wept when they saw the brothers who had died in the war sleeping in a foreign wilderness, no longer able to fight side by side with them, and never able to return to their hometowns.

Zhao Yue noticed that even though the group was in the deep grief of burying the corpses of their compatriots, they still did not forget to chase after the air war horses left behind by the summoned dead horse thieves. These men had no horses, but they were very good at riding and controlling them, and they were calm and disciplined in their actions, and they quickly gathered the horses, and at last they had forty or fifty horses, and almost all the empty horses were snatched back from the fleeing horse thieves.

This should be a group of clever horse dealers who came to Liaoguo to get horses......

While Zhao Yue was thinking, the man with the gun followed Wang Nianjing to the front and made a kneeling warrior salute to Zhao Yue: "The villain Hebei Zhu Jing has seen the son of Cangliang, please thank the villain for saving his life on behalf of the brothers." ”

The voice was low, and there was unbearable pathos in gratitude.

Zhao Yue pulled him up, looked at him carefully, and said lightly: "We are both Han people, we should be watching and helping each other, and we met in a foreign country, you are in trouble, how can I not make a move, why thank you?" Strong men don't have to be polite. ”

Zhu Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "The villain has heard the name of the son for a long time, and today I know that the son Puji is real and the bully is fake." Cangzhao's merciful and heroic chivalrous family style is really more popular. The villain is fortunate to know the descendants of Cangzhao. Three lives are fortunate. ”

He looked at Zhao Yue and emphasized very seriously: "This is the villain's heartfelt words." There is no falsehood. ”

Zhao Yue smiled faintly and asked, "You are horse dealers, right?" ”

Zhu Jing said frankly: "Childe has good eyesight. ”

"The villain has been taking these hometown brothers to and from Liao and Song Dynasty to sell horses for several years, and they have experienced many dangerous deaths. Today's difficulties are just one of them. ”

Zhao Yue nodded.

He saw the skillfulness of the group in dealing with the disaster in an orderly manner. It is known that this is a veteran of the herd of horse traders.

Zhu Jing sighed, his expression was slightly helpless, and he said in a low voice: "In my hometown, the government is tyrannical and tyrannical. There are also Tian Hu and his ilk who are causing chaos and scourge. The villain waited for the loss of the field, and he couldn't do anything else, so he relied on some martial arts and took this difficult road of survival. ”

Zhao Yue didn't say a word about this, and said indifferently: "The horse you sold was sold to Tian Hu, right?" ”

Zhu Jing's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to his naturalness. said calmly: "Don't hide it from the son, it's true." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yue was not displeased, he asked strangely: "Qingzhou, under the jurisdiction of Gongzi's brother Wen Chenghou, opened the port of horse dealers, and for the horses sold into the country, except for the reasonable purchase of excellent horses, the other horses will not be taxed, not intercepted, regardless of the flow direction, no matter how much, all will be released, and the horse dealers will be provided with inns and horse farms and other conveniences. The villain is also the beneficiary of Hou Yeren's virtue and Ma Zheng. I was grateful, but I didn't understand why Hou Ye did this. ”

"Hou Ye is an important minister of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only good hope that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have placed on the officialdom. Dare to ask, isn't Hou Ye afraid that the war horse will flow into the hands of the thief. Endangering the rule of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhao Yue couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Zhu Jing's doubts are only the doubts of all the Great Song horse dealers and thieves.

He thought for a moment and explained it this way.

"Zhu Zhuangshi often comes to Liao. When you know that the Jurchen is now fighting the Great Liaobei Army in disarray? ”

Zhu Jing nodded.

"Hey, hey."

Zhao Yue smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice. said: "Then do you know that Da Liao will be over in a few years, and the Jin army will destroy Da Liao." Then they will aim their sharp soldiers at the Great Song Dynasty, who is richer but more cowardly than Da Liao? ”

Zhu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled, and he said in shock: "The little girl really has the ability to destroy Da Liao?" ”

Zhao Yue didn't answer this question, just looked at Zhu Jing.

He remembered a little, this person was also a general under Tian Hu in the Water Margin, and he didn't seem to have a big official position, but his performance in the battle with the Liangshan army was not ordinary, at least he showed extraordinary martial bravery, and he was better than many generals who were ranked higher than him and whose power was greater than him.

Zhao Yue couldn't remember the ending of this person in the book, but now that he observed and judged that this person's conscience was not clear, a small thought suddenly came to him.

He looked to the south and said lightly: "The Great Song Dynasty army is weak, and it is especially necessary to fight against the fierce iron cavalry in the north. ”

Zhu Jing understood.

Marquis Wen Cheng implemented such a horse policy in the hope that more horses would flow into the Great Song Dynasty and encourage more people who wanted to make a fortune to participate in horse trafficking.

In fact, Zhao Gonglian's horse administration was very attractive and agitatory, and I don't know how many people who dared to fight were involved in horse trafficking.

Zhu Jing calmed down for a moment and asked, "Wouldn't it be worse if (the war horse) fell into the hands of the thieves?" ”

If the Jin army can really overthrow the elephants, destroy the Great Liao, and complete the miracle, then at that time, there will be powerful cavalry and thieves in the Great Song Dynasty, barbaric iron cavalry invasion outside, and internal and external difficulties, wouldn't it be easier to lose the country? Shall we, the grass people, not suffer more?

He now regretted that he had sold horses to Tian Hu for better benefits, and then sighed deeply.

What the hell am I worried about?

My brothers and I are just small people of the common people, struggling to exchange our lives for money in order to have money and live a better life. There are emperors who enjoy all the wealth and nobility in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are the princes and turbans who eat with their mouths flowing with oil, and the country will not be destroyed is what they should be most worried about when they enjoy the benefits of the power of the Great Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, I won't be able to mix, so it's a big deal to simply join the anti-thief, live happily day by day, and have luck, maybe not only can I keep my life alive, but also have a rich and glorious future.

By the way, or, Marquis Wen Cheng can save the crisis, or he can defect to his rule to survive, or he can earn fame by killing the enemy in the army.

In short, Lao Tzu has martial arts, and there is no way out in troubled times.

He was thinking wildly, and his expression was uncertain.

Zhao Yue saw it clearly and further recognized the essence of Zhu Jing.

This man can be anxious for his fellow citizens. Not yet a scoundrel with bloody sins, still available.

That idea grew stronger.

"Hehe......"

Zhao Yue chuckled a few times. The indifferent eyes became a little sharper, which attracted Zhu Jing to come back to his senses. He also said, "A strong man has courage, but fortunately, he also has a heart." ”

In Zhu Jing's puzzled eyes, he was a little clearer: "Tian Hu and his ilk can make a fuss, and they are so happy, it is precisely caused by the excessive corruption of the Great Song Dynasty bureaucracy and the perverted incompetence of governing the country. Isn't it right for the corrupt officials to be the anti-thieves, and the anti-thieves in turn actively slaughter and loot them as 'reward'? ”

Zhu Jing stared at Zhao Yue in astonishment: You say that, is it inconsistent with your ruler's family identity?

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "As for your question. Let me put it this way. ”

"In the eyes of my eldest brother, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing and Jiangnan La, who have already made a fuss, will be noisy sooner or later. It is just a butcher's knife to cut off the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Great Song Dynasty, sweep away the old corruption, stimulate the blood of the Han nation, and assemble the sharp blade of unity and bravery. When these goals are achieved, and our Han nation has the courage and preparation to deal with the iron hooves and scimitars of the barbarian alien race, the mission of the thieves is over, and it is time to perish. What about horses? Someone has cleaned them up one by one. ”

Wang Nianjing said with a smile: "As long as the horse flows into the Great Song Dynasty, it is only a temporary small matter in whose hands. It always allowed the Han nation to have war horses, and the people to have force and contingency preparations. How can it be better than when a group of cowards can only fight with two legs and four legs. In this case, why didn't my marquis relax the horse administration as much as possible? Why bother with the war horses flowing into the hands of the Great Song Quartet? ”

Zhu Jing understood Zhao Gongqian's Ma Zheng intentions, and respected and admired Wen Chenghou's foresight.

But I felt that Zhao Yue's tone was too big. didn't take Tian Hu and other heroes in his eyes at all, and had the intention of underestimating the heroes of the world, and couldn't help but question: "If it's a thief, it's a foreign country." When the time comes, he surrendered to the Jin army and became the vanguard of the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

He said in his heart: Your eldest brother has ambition and ability. But he also knows that it is difficult to support alone, and it cannot change the overall decay of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. It is a good strategy to use a knife to eliminate too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials and reverse the situation, but it is too arrogant and arrogant to rely on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in a corner of Qingzhou to support the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty and sweep away the anti-thieves in the entire Great Song Dynasty. Even if you have that power, will you be able to keep it busy when the time comes?

Besides, your eldest brother is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the power is given by the emperor, and it can be taken away by the emperor at any time.

Marquis Wencheng was transferred out of Qingzhou and lost his military power, what should he do?

Haven't you been entangled in rotten officialdom and watched the anti-thieves make a fuss or take refuge in foreign countries as accomplices?

There was a lot of trouble, and the well-intentioned Ma Zheng was afraid that it would be a barbaric outsider who would be fulfilled in the end.

Zhao Yue smiled faintly but firmly: "I promise you, they won't have a chance. ”

Zhu Jing disagreed, but didn't say more.

This is not simple. Zhao Gonglian is even more intelligent, and he is recognized as an unborn talent in the Great Song Dynasty. Maybe people just have a complete layout and grasp, that is, they can control the situation?

He suddenly remembered something, and arched his hand to Zhao Yue: "No matter what, I must thank Gongzi for his righteous help." ”

One to the horses,

"The horses are all collected for the son, please take it. This place is a place where horse thieves haunt, and those who flee are afraid that they will bring in reinforcements to come back at any time to retaliate, and it is not safe, so the villain suggested that the son should leave quickly. We're going to hurry up too. ”

Zhao Yue didn't expect that this person was desperate to sell horses, but he was willing not to want so many good horses.

"These horses, which may be said to have been bought by your brothers with their lives, are to be kept.

Zhu Jing shook his head and said: "Without the help of Gongzi's heroic subordinates, my brothers are afraid that they will all be planted here today, how can we get horses?" If you are lucky, don't try too much and think about getting extra rich. It's not something villains deserve. ”

As he spoke, he reminded and urged: "This place is dangerous, and the son has a golden body, so it's better to leave quickly." ”

When Zhao Yue heard this, he had a deeper understanding of Zhu Jing, and his favorability instantly rose a lot, and he wanted to pull Zhu Jing into Tian Hu's interior as an inside line, but it was difficult to reveal his intentions.

Wang Nianjing smiled at Zhu Jing and said: "You don't know, with the skills of my son-in-law, even among thousands of troops, taking the head of the general is like taking something from a bag."

Horse thieves, rabble, no matter how many people there are, no matter how fierce and brave, as long as they kill their leaders, they will be scattered without the backbone and command. Don't be anxious and rushed. Otherwise, we would have left early, and we would have stayed here to talk so much. ”

Zhu Jing was stunned again, staring at Zhao Yue with some disbelieving.

Zhao Yue smiled, and saw that Zhu Jing's men had already packed up, so he waved his hand and said, "Ma, we don't need it, you just take it away." If you go to Qingzhou, if someone makes things difficult for you, you can report my name. May you be successful in your horse trading and prosperous in your wealth. ”

As he spoke, he and his subordinates got on the horse and escorted the car to leave slowly.

Zhu Jing saw that Zhao Yue really didn't want anything for them, and couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly kowtowed to the grave of the deceased brother, worshipped, and took the brother on the horse, but caught up with Zhao Yue and his party, saying that they were all going south, and they were fortunate to be on the same road for a while, and chatted again.

Zhao Yue asked Zhu Jing about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty's horse trafficking by the way.

Zhu Jing has been selling horses for many years, knows many people in this industry, and does know a lot about this industry.

"Since Hou Ye rectified the rule of Cheongju and opened the border gates, more and more businessmen have left the country through Cheongju. The same is true for horse traders. It's just that this deal is a head-killing risk......"

The Liao State has been strictly investigated, and most of the horse traffickers are ordinary people who want to make a fortune by taking risks, and they are small and have insufficient force, so they can only find a way out, sneak across the border on foot, and then ride a horse to steal back, and there are many failures in death, and the vast majority of them are petty fights and make no climate.

A powerful armed gang of forty or fifty people like Zhu Jing can trade dozens of horses at a time, which is already a good mix.

However, there were many people participating, and the time was a little longer, and the number of people participating was more, and the total number of horses flowing into the Great Song Dynasty was not small.

Nowadays, the three major Kou of the Great Song Dynasty are actively involved in horse trafficking, but they have their own characteristics.

Jiangnan is a land of mountains and rivers, with a lot of rain and soft swamps, which is not suitable for large-scale horse warfare.

The Fangla tribe relied on infantry and did not pay attention to the expensive and impractical cavalry, and the horse dealers mainly used fraud to steal good horses to ration their generals.

Huaixi Wang Qing attached great importance to cavalry.

This may have something to do with the fact that he is from the capital, knowledgeable, and has a strong sense of vanity.

The horse dealers in the department entered the Liao territory legally with a large number of merchants, and used the money to buy and steal horses, paying attention to the quantity and quantity they obtained.

Both of these are commuted through the unimpeded Cheongju border pass.

Tian Hu guarded the Yunzhou Mansion, knew the harm of the Song army's lack of horses and the importance of cavalry to the development of the group, and attached great importance to the construction of cavalry.

Most of the remaining people stayed in Liaojing to steal war horses, and then rode across the border of Hebei, playing savage work, and showed the true nature of the bullies and robbers who only entered and exited the white wolf with empty gloves, but according to the manpower of dispatch and loss, the effect was not very large.

Because the person presiding over this matter is Tian Hu's two greedy and brainless younger brothers, Tian Biao and Tian Bao.

Tian Hu, who looks rough and heroic, is very heroic, but in essence he is a bully in the countryside who started from a poor man, in fact, he is very stingy and suspicious, and most of his subordinates are mercenary and untrustworthy and unreliable wild and fanatical, and he is not at ease to hand over a large number of goods and money to others to transport, and only trusts his two brothers who rely on him.

And Tian Biao and Tian Bao are even more reluctant to spend a big son to buy horses, relying on their bravery and arrogance, which horse they like in the Yunzhou Mansion of Daliao, playing hard, and not playing smartly, often becoming the target of Khitan herdsmen and even the army.

But the two of them are so temperamental, they can't change their trajectory, they are not beautiful, but they are not lacking in cleverness, and they have a lot of quibbles about Tian Hu.

Tian Hu did not know the specific internal situation of the Liao State in the north, nor would he replace his younger brother who was active and used someone who was not at ease.
