Verse 351 Timely Rain Wang Qing
Heavenly King, Heavenly King, you treat each brother sincerely, but brothers may not really be able to treat you wholeheartedly.
What is our group?
A group of desperate people gathered together to save their lives. It is so united under the pressure of the prestige.
What if the environment changes in the future, and some brothers see another way out?
It's really not like I'm being careful.
Wu sneered with his belly.
At this moment, somehow, he was deeply impressed by Chao Gai's open-mindedness, but also vaguely disappointed.
What is disappointed, Wu Yong didn't think clearly for a while.
But he knew that the armor must not be allowed to be divided by his temperament.
He tactfully reminded: "Brother, don't forget, Song Gongming's letter said that he is trying to persuade a group of heroes from Shejiaoling to vote." The letter said that there were dozens of good men. The elder brother doesn't want to keep the baby, see which of the new brothers is reliable and useful, and reward him with a treasure armor to accept his heart? ”
Chao Gai can be the boss of the green forest, and he is not a fool, so he naturally understands the importance of uniting newcomers to win over the hearts of the strong and stabilize his leadership position. ”
"Yes. I can't divide it. At least one piece has to be left for Gongming's virtuous brother. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the inner armor and said regretfully: "I don't have the size of Gongming." He can't even wear it. ”
Armor is not the size of a garment to deal with. It is not suitable and cannot be used.
If it's small, it naturally can't be worn. It's big, and it's uncomfortable to wear it, as if there is a shelf on it, and it's hard to see and make people laugh. Affect the glorious image, and it is the inner armor. It's also inconvenient to put clothes on the outside.
Wu Yong knew that Chao Gai had extraordinary feelings and trust for Song Jiang.
He used to only see Song Jiang who came to report in the dark once when he was born, and heard his righteous name. But he has never dealt with Song Jiang, he can't talk about knowing each other at all, and now he has no friendship with Song Jiang, so he doesn't care about Song Jiang, but it's not good to comment on this aspect, he just said: "Brother, although this thing is in the hands of my brother, what I entrust is the kindness and hope of Marquis Zhao." According to the younger brother, according to the two cross standards of 'reliable and able to do things for the people of the world' as Zhao Houye said, it is good to divide the treasure. ”
Chao cover the most important word of faith. It's not that the thing is in hand, the original owner is a fart, and I'm the kind of person who can be the master at will. I listened to that.
"Good. There is no division. In the future, we will divide it again, and our three brothers will discuss it privately. It was sent to which brother with unanimous opinion. ”
Wu breathed a long sigh of relief.
Chao Gai's words show his great trust in him, and also protect his core position in the group in the future.
Most importantly, the armor is more than just a self-defense weapon. It is very likely to affect the hearts and minds of the cottage and the future. It's good that the king doesn't mess around.
Seeing Wu Yong's relieved look, Chao Gai suddenly blinked, and actually showed his cunning side, and chuckled: "The two virtuous brothers support my Chao Gai's sincerity. Cover had it. Rest assured. What I did before was a whim. I didn't think too much about it, and I really didn't think it through. It won't happen again.
It's better to discuss everything. One person counts short. Everyone is wise. Three stinkers, and a Zhuge Liang. ”
Hearing this, Wu Yong couldn't help but get up and bow, "Brother has this thought." The younger brother is really relieved. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
So far. Erlongshan is an end to the horse.
Chao Gai was hit on the head, and his elite divisions were almost completely lost, and his troops were greatly damaged. His heart ached. After deeply learning a lesson, he will send Gongsun Sheng to lead a small number of capable personnel to find out the situation of Yanyun and slowly get rid of it.
He's cheering up. He commanded his subordinates to carefully raise and restore the physical strength of the horses that had been obtained, and actively trained new cavalrymen. I no longer dream of becoming a fat man in one bite, and I don't have the luxury of becoming the head of the most majestic Song Dynasty Green Forest.
Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong also concluded that what Erlongshan lacks most is actually the leader, the general, or the steady development of talents.
Zhao Yue held Chao Gai and didn't jump too happily too early, and the goal was achieved.
Tian Hu, the self-proclaimed king of Jin, suffered even greater losses in the horse making incident.
The elite main force that had been painstakingly managed for several years was lost by Tian Bao and Tian Biao in the north, and although there were many remaining soldiers, they were a rabble that lacked strong military quality and well-trained, and they were weak in the process of capturing the capital of the Great Song Prefecture, and their military might was greatly defeated.
The generals everywhere gradually couldn't move their troops, lost the arrogance and arrogance generated by the momentum in the past, and gradually lost their heads one by one.
Tian Hu used people improperly, insisted on going his own way, failed in decision-making, was deeply hit, tried to hide his remorse for the sake of face, and never mentioned the matter of getting horses, as if the tens of thousands of elites had never existed, he privately punished the two brothers who had done the wrong thing, so he had to stop the attack, first stabilize the occupied territory, pay close attention to training soldiers, and strive to restore morale.
The Hebei Governors, threatened by Tian Hu's soldiers, were temporarily given a respite.
Wang Qing, who called himself the king of Chu in Zhunxi, was in a frenzy.
He got the good news that the Khitan refugees from eastern Liaodong were flocking to Yanyun, and it was about the same time as Erlong Mountain.
Left Prime Minister Liu Min Liu Zhibo, Right Prime Minister Fan Quan, Left and Right National Teachers: Passing the Sky Star is a person, and the yellow-faced Bodhisattva is empty; The privy envoy Fang Han, the auxiliary commander Fan Chenglong, and the palace marshal Wan Shixing were all overjoyed by the news, saying that this was a heaven-sent opportunity to get a large number of northern war horses and strengthen our cavalry, and they should not be missed.
Wang Qing's brother-in-law of the two villages and the generals Duan Er and Duan Wu obviously didn't understand, but they also called blindly.
On the contrary, Xi Sheng and Zuo Mou, counselors of the military aircraft, said cautiously: "You can try to do it in a big way, but you can't be blindly optimistic." ”
Gou Huan and Gou Ying, known as the gods of Huaiximen, are strong in force, and Fan Quan has been doing business before, and Wang Qing met in Tokyo because of this, and has rich experience in business, which can be described as a rare comprehensive high-end talent, and won Wang Qing's trust, and was previously ordered to be responsible for Wang Qingjun for many years to sell goods and get horses, and is more familiar with Yanshan Mansion, and is very experienced in sneaking across the border.
The two of them said that Yanyun was in chaos, and Cangbei Junzhou actively cooperated with horse dealers, which was indeed a good opportunity to get horses. As long as they had enough manpower, they were confident that the white wolf would get back a large number of horses and money with empty gloves.
Wang Qing was already bold and arrogant, and in a short period of time, he was mixed into the king of Chu with heavy troops and fierce generals. The Huaixi government was afraid, and his self-confidence grew. That courage and arrogance are becoming more and more tall and soaring, and their spirit is no less than that of the overlord of Western Chu.
He himself judged that this was a great opportunity. I'm afraid that once I miss it, there will be no more from now on, and I can't crush the powerful cavalry of the Song army, so I can only regret it, and let the people of the world, especially my subordinates, laugh at him for being brave and ignorant and unworthy of being the king of Huaixi.
Therefore, Wang Qing ignored the scholarly opinions of Xi Sheng and Zuo Mou, and his actions were also generous.
He valued cavalry and was willing to spend money and give. The brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying were loyal and competent, and they bought and stole a lot of horses in the north, which is the most effective one among the three major horses, and has also trained many riders.
Wang Qing had the confidence, and made a decision with a pat on his head in high spirits, and transferred 10,000 elite soldiers who were best at fighting on horseback from the entire army to Gou Huan and Gou Ying brothers and immediately went north to rob them.
The first goal was to get at least 5,000 horses.
The second goal was to grab a lot of money and as many weapons as possible from the Khitans.
Wang Qing said: "Liao's national disaster and wealth, if we don't make it ruthlessly, it would be too stupid." ”
"Get a good handful, let the world people. Especially the arrogant waste turbans of the Song Dynasty all look at the majesty of our Chu army. Let these hypocritical and righteous dogs fear us in shame, and from then on, as soon as they heard that our Chu army was coming, they fled when they heard the news. ”
The brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying were infected by Wang Qing's arrogance, and they had a good idea of the affairs of the north. Full of confidence, clapping his chest and guaranteeing to go all out to complete the task. Do not let the king and his brothers down.
After the manpower arrived, the two of them happily arranged for five or six hundred elite cadres who had been doing business with them in the north for a long time. The 10,000 riders were divided into separate routes and rushed north, and all the way to Jizhou, the old familiar country, was relatively smooth. All the way, Cangbei Military Prefecture really doesn't care about the horse dealers at all, as long as it is not in the Cangbei jurisdiction, no matter how many people you come, you will be allowed to leave the customs.
The brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying put their hearts at ease and became more and more confident in this trip to the north.
It's just that they came to the north from Huaixi for a long time, and when they arrived, they were much later than Erlongshan Lane. The flow of Khitan refugees to the south has gradually entered the final stage, and the social order in the northern part of Yanshan Province has gradually returned to normal.
Due to the dense population in the northern region, there is not much land to settle these semi-cultivated, semi-herded or even nomadic refugee tribes, while the southern region, especially the Jizhou area, is sparsely populated by pirates who have repeatedly plundered the Han Chinese, and most of the refugees who choose to stay in Yanshan Province are settled in this area.
Yanshan Mansion was resettled in this way, not only because it was a reality that could not be resettled in the north, but also because it wanted to enrich the population of the southern border and provide the grain and grass needed for the rule.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of refugee families were being separated and settled in various places in a relatively orderly manner, but the population flow was too large, and there were refugees rushing to their final destinations everywhere, and all kinds of contradictions and dissatisfaction were also emerging.
The brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying found out the news and realized that at this time it had reached the last moment of the Liao State's national disaster, and if they were slightly wrong, the plan to move the labor division to the north would be frustrated, so they hurriedly sent the old backbone who was familiar with the situation in the north and the most elite vanguard of the Khitans to sneak into Jizhou, the Liao State, on the opposite side, to find the foothold of the large army, and the target was the Panshan where they had settled before.
Unexpectedly, the cottage set up in Panshan last year to facilitate hiding has now become the entrenchment of a group of horse thieves formed by Khitan refugees.
The vanguard took advantage of the familiarity with the geography to raid and kill this group of horse thieves, recapture the base area, and while notifying the follow-up troops to sneak over, while exploring other places in the mountains, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there were more than a dozen horse thieves of all sizes hidden here.
Brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying were overjoyed.
Originally, I thought that I would hide in the mountains, rely on 10,000 soldiers to attack from all sides, and take the huge risk of alarming the Liao army to be besieged and pursued, and rob the refugees separately to complete the task. There are ready-made safe and delicious dishes in this mountain, how can you be polite?
Gou Huan and Gou Ying had a lot of soldiers, and Huaixi was mountainous, and they were accustomed to mountain warfare, bullying Khitan horse thieves, and they were good at riding horses on the plains, and they were not good at mountain warfare, and they would not be mountain bandits, and they used various means such as surprise attacks and night raids to encircle and suppress heavy troops, although they lost some manpower, they could be said to have easily obtained tens of thousands of war horses, a large number of sheep, and a huge amount of money, food, weapons and other materials.
Although Gou Huan and Gou Ying are hot-headed, they still maintain their sanity, knowing that time is urgent, and they need to evacuate quickly, otherwise when the resettlement of refugees is stable, it will be difficult for Liao to get out as soon as it is strictly controlled, and the goal has been achieved, and it is not too greedy, so they quickly organized their subordinates to transfer batches of harvests, and sent old subordinates who followed the goods and horses with manpower, and secretly crossed the border according to the accustomed and re-accurate road, and asked the brothers not to wait at the border inn after entering the Song Realm, and directly set up this kind of organization to go home in the south, so as to save a lot of accumulation and too much trouble.
Groups of people quickly left. I didn't hear any news of the disaster.
The brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying were ecstatic, and finally took the battle, and quietly left Panshan with one hundred and ten subordinates and trophies pretending to be Khitan refugees, and secretly crossed the border and returned to the Song realm smoothly.
Wang Qing's group of capable soldiers returned to the Song realm alive, and many of them were overthrown by the inn in batches and transferred overseas, and finally became members of the qualified cavalry in the Cangzhao Southern Army, which had many excellent tropical war horses.
Wang Qing's Huaixi forces made a fortune by smuggling and trading with Cangzhao's pirates along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and gathered the capital to recruit troops and buy horses for rapid development and growth with a better reputation.
But his subordinates were lucky, not only got rid of the infamy and unpopular identity of the anti-thief, got rid of the whirlpool of civil war and loss of the Han people, and found the right and lofty future to give full play to their abilities, but also brought a new life and a better life to their families who followed the immigrants.
These soldiers did not resent Zhao Gonglian and Zhao Houye's policy of opening up the horse administration and border gates in Cangbei to deceive them, on the contrary, they only had gratitude.
They also thanked Wang Qing, the king of Chu, for his enthusiasm and generosity in making horses this time.
Wang Qing is not so majestic, not so bold and daring, they will not have the opportunity to leave Huaixi and fall into the sphere of influence of the Cangzhao group, and there will be no such a beautiful thing as fate urgently turning around. can only continue to cover his head and be a thief, and slowly die in the counterattack and encirclement of the Great Song Dynasty government, and his family and his family have turned into meaningless dry bones.
After figuring out their own situation, the brothers Gou Huan and Gou Ying, who were very affectionate and loyal to Wang Qing, scolded Zhao Gonglian in extreme anger for being a liar dog official who did not pay attention to faith and righteousness and specialized in pit the common people......
