300 miles away, day and night.

On the way, he only dismounted to eat, drink and rest for a few hours, and when the people solved the three urgencies, the horse relieved his strength and continued to hurry.

Shi Yong and they wandered in the north for many years to steal war horses, intercept and kill Song and Liao bad merchants, reconnoiter terrain and intelligence, and have a good understanding of the geographical situation and the rule of the Liao State from the eastern part of Yanshan to the Bohai Sea, and there are two Haidongqing high-altitude long-distance reconnaissance, which can avoid the Liao army and government brigade personnel who travel as soon as possible, and the large team led by Zhao Yue ran murderously all the way, and the people who passed through the Khitan villages saw this group of horses that seemed to be hungry and red-eyed, and no one dared to approach, let alone ask.

Zhao Yue's bold traversal adventure, which was unexpected by the Liao people, was once again successful, and it took a day, a night and half a day to successfully reach the predetermined seaside pick-up location, and sent the exhausted brigade onto the armed merchant ships waiting there.

The dozen or so god-arm crossbow craftsmen and the vast majority of women who were half-dead were finally able to relax their souls and finally rest.

The three people who are responsible for leading the fleet this time are the old leaders of the family, Yang Zhe, Zheng Erbao, and Hu Dahai.

In the process of loading the ship, the three 'veterans' surrounded Zhao Yue.

Our second master is bold, he dares to do it, this brain is smart, and he is so reliable in judging everything......

After chatting about this side of the family, Hu Dahai smiled and said, "Second master, your risky decision is too wise." ”

Zhao Yue saw that the three of them were extremely jubilant, and all of them were in great spirits, not at all like a listless sample in the sea bumps, with his understanding of the old sect leader. It can't be because I've managed to get these horses, equipment, and wealth to be like this.

As an old member of the rise of the Cangzhao family, he has seen too much. War horses, money, and God of Wealth's arm crossbow are no longer something that can excite them.

But it is better to be happy than to be sad. It's good to have good things.

Zhao Yue smiled and nodded: "What can make you so happy?" Let's talk about it, and I'm also happy. ”

Zheng Erbao knew what Hu Dahai wanted to talk about. Le Zizi said: "Second master, guess what we accidentally grabbed on the way when we came to pick up these people and horses this time?" ”

Of course, he was not testing Zhao Yue, but just using this way of speaking to express the great surprise that the 'accident' brought to them.

Yang Zhe is a straight person, unlike Hu Dahai, who loves vernacular, and Zheng Erbao who loves to make trouble.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Look at the two of you talking so hard. Second master, let me tell you. ”

Hu Dahai grabbed Bai and said: "Lao Yang, aren't you also talking nonsense?" ”

Zhao Yue looked at them in their forties, and they were actually bickering like children, knowing that the unity between these old sect leaders was closer than brothers. If you are happy or unhappy, you have to fight, but you can't cry or laugh for a while.

"I say, what the hell is a great event?"

"We robbed a fleet of weapons smuggled by the Great Song Dynasty." The chatter Hu Dahai is quick to say, and this time he answered it.

"Oh?"

Zhao Yue was really curious. What kind of weapon harvest can make these three happy like this?

"Second master, you don't know, right? It is a flying fire crow made by the Great Song Dynasty Guanfang. Millions. There is also the Ten Thousand Thunder Rush Crossbow and the accompanying crossbow arrows. Hundreds of crossbows, more than 30,000 crossbow arrows. Zheng Erbao habitually asked, and then rushed to answer the answer that Zhao Yue wanted to know.

When Zhao Yue heard this, he was not happy at first, but couldn't help but gasp.

The so-called Flying Fire Crow is not a magic weapon of the gods. Rather, it is an arrow loaded with explosives.

With the level of gunpowder production in the Great Song Dynasty, the power of this kind of rocket explosion is naturally not very large, just like firecrackers, and the power can never catch up with the terrible artillery battles that can kill and blow up the disabled in later generations. Shoot down into the crowd or kill the enemy with an arrow. But the sound can also disturb the horses.

The Ten Thousand Thunder Rush Crossbow is a kind of large-scale box-type weapon that can be fired in groups, and it is a crossbow arrow that is strengthened by gunpowder and fired. One is a hundred crossbows, or even more. The power is indeed terrifying, and it is very effective against the dense charge of the cavalry brigade. The sound can also disturb the horse to get out of control.

But the downside is that reloading is too laborious and slow. Whether it is used on the battlefield in the field or for defending the city, this weapon is similar to the bed crossbow, and often can only be used once, and before it is too late to equip the second time, the two sides will engage in battle.

These are all weapons specially researched by the Great Song Dynasty, which lacked horses, to deal with the enemy's cavalry, and they can be regarded as inventions and innovations that have a great effect.

But there are no secrets in the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, the Liao State has also mastered this technology, but now the war is too attritional, and the officials and craftsmen are also deliberately arranged by the Zhao Yuejia spies to desperately poach most of the masters and young craftsmen, and the manufacturing capacity is weak. Weapons and equipment will not keep up with the needs.

The Cangzhao Group desperately poached the officials and craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo. How can you let go of the foreign enemies Liao and Western Xia.

The Great Liao was as corrupt as the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were not very responsible for serious work, and work was like fun, and fun was even more fun. In the Great Song Dynasty, the official craftsmen were lowly people who played strange/lewd/skill, and they were treated at a high point in the Great Liao, but they were actually disguised slaves who lacked freedom in captivity, and the vast majority of them were Han people with family skills. The rude and arrogant horseback Khitans lacked this kind of technical inheritance, and they couldn't play this delicate technical work that required great patience after learning it.

There are few craftsmen in Daliao, and the control of craftsmen is relatively strict. It is much more difficult to dig up the Great Liao than to dig the Great Song Dynasty. Fortunately, Da Liao is corrupted/defeated. The spies figured out the situation, gradually understood it, and persevered for a long time, and slowly accumulated the results of the excavation.

The craftsmen who dug up the Western Xia had miserable results.

Western Xia was also in decline, but the war had been tightly grasped.

This is related to their strong aggression and possessiveness, ferocious and brutal nature, and a particularly strong sense of crisis in small countries. There are great similarities with the characteristics of the Japanese people.

Zhao Yue was surprised, who had such a bold and ability to take away so many weapons and equipment that the Great Song Dynasty valued most at once?

Yang Zhe said directly: "It was the bullshit soldier Shangshu who called what kind of stone skin did it." ”

"The Founding Honors of the Shi Family?"

Zhao Yue was shocked and depressed: "Are they trying to get rich and want to go crazy?" Are they so rich that they only have money in their eyes? ”

Annoyed and condemned, Zhao Yue figured it out in an instant.

Including the King of Anqing. In addition to being bold, powerful, and greedy, the reason why Shi Fu and other powerful bureaucrats were able to easily and successfully smuggle and resell the savings of heavy weapons of the military state from the state treasury to seek violence abroad. I'm afraid it really has a lot to do with my family.

A proverbial Tokyo case implicated many key officials in the capital.

A large number of abnormal changes in officials have led to chaos in officialdom. There is no perfect handover formalities. It directly leads to huge loopholes in related management, and even loss of control. The new officials were in a hurry to take up their posts, and they were not familiar with old accounts and affairs, and many obscure accounts, arrears, misappropriation, or deficit accounts were not able to be inquired about as the previous officials and their cronies and subordinates were brought to justice.

The normal mutual supervision and restraint of the relevant institutions is also out of control, and it is impossible to play an effective role in supervision, checks and balances.

The civil and military ministers have basically changed their faces, leaving only Lao Cai, an old man who is so old that he only cares about making money for the emperor and his own family.

These important ministers have suddenly risen to a prominent position after being familiar with a certain department for a long time, and they have to grasp the overall situation, take care of too many unfamiliar affairs, and are not truly patriotic, dedicated, and willing to work hard and sacrifice for the country. A lot of time and energy are focused on fighting for power and profit, and the time for entertainment and enjoyment is much longer than the working time, how can the work be quickly started, and it will inevitably fall into heavy confusion within a certain period of time.

All kinds of loopholes and reasons have given people like Anqing Wang Shifu the opportunity to dig into the corners of the country, well, to be precise, to dig up the pillars of the country.

The armed merchant ships are gone. The three old sect leaders stood on the boat and waved goodbye to Zhao Yue with a smile.

Zhao Yue watched the fleet disappear, looked at the vast and dim sea, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Some of these people's desires are deeper than this sea!

There are no effective constraints. These people will eat people like the devil. Every bit of their harvest, every happiness, is built on the blood and tears of others, and it means injustice to all sentient beings.

Fortunately, Han Chang's useful burden was transferred away, and he went there to accept the transformation of new affairs and new ideas.

Believe in the wisdom of this person. will make the right choice.

With this person's submission, it can be said that his father will be moved to install a very useful nail in the Liao army. Critical moments can play an unexpectedly significant role.

Fortunately, the promise made to those dozen craftsmen is being actively fulfilled by Yang Lin in Tokyo. The families of the craftsmen who were taken hostage were able to be rescued.

I believe that my father can arrange these horse thieves and suffering women.

"Let's go. Let's go back. ”

Zhao Yue cheered up and prepared to return to Yanshan's nest with fifty Cangzhao troops for the next step - clearing Cuijiabao.

One of the younger warriors muttered, "The horses are all on board." Let's walk back on both legs. More than 300 miles. When will this go? ”

He didn't understand how Zhao Yue, who had always cherished time as his life and cherished soldiers, wasted time on soldiers for some horses this time.

Isn't it good to leave the mount and return quickly?

When Shi Yong heard it, he couldn't help but knock the little soldier with a brain breakdown, and scolded with a smile: "You are a fart." This is the Liao country. Do you have horses, but you are still worried about not having a horse to hurry? ”

Zhao Yue also smiled and said to everyone: "In troubled times, the husband has the courage to run rampant. We're in enemy country. What is lacking, think about what you grab. It strengthens itself and weakens its opponents. Kill two birds with one stone. The so-called great achievements are actually determined by many details. The small things of horses should also be calculated clearly. It's the same with life. ”

He said this with a feeling.

Ten people were able to successfully rob the elite troops of the Liao army, and Wan Qi Danian ventured down the mountain to shoot. Wang Nianjing desperately went down the mountain to block the enemy, but accidentally cracked the bullhorn to call for help and support the crisis, and it was the details that made it a success.

Don't be careless when doing big things. Most of the things that succeed in a muddle will eventually fail.

It inspired the soldiers and boosted their fighting spirit. Zhao Yue took more than 60 people to hurry along the remote area, quickly left the seaside area, got rid of the suspicion that the brigade might cause when boarding the boat here, came to a village and town in the evening, lived in the inn as a merchant guard, took a comfortable bath, ate and drank, slept all night, relieved the fatigue, had physical strength and spirit, and it was much easier to continue the journey the next day.

Only then did the soldiers realize that it was the absence of horses that they could easily mix in the poor and desolate area for food and lodging, and be able to rest well.

Otherwise, with only more than sixty war horses, it will be a big trouble to cause trouble.

Not to mention that those gangsters and the empty-handed, poor and crazy fierce Khitans who moved from the north will fight their ideas, but I am afraid that even the inn will not be able to help but resort to evil methods.

Against a group of passers-by who are not rich, the risk and reward are disproportionate, and no one wants to give it a try.

They admired Zhao Yue's foresight.

In fact, this is just Zhao Yue's perennial experience and natural selection, and there is no need to think about it at all.

Slowly and leisurely away from the seashore, so far no one will know that they are the members of the large group of people who once came, with good food and lodging, and completely recovered their physical strength and spirit, Zhao Yue told the soldiers that it was time to get horses and go home early.

In this area, you can often see Khitan refugees retreating from the north. They are all in groups, hundreds or even thousands of people, and dozens of people.

Although many Khitan families have lost their familiar homes and eaten up their cattle and sheep on the way south, they still have horses.

Except for those who are particularly miserable and destitute, almost every family always has three or two horses, carrying the little possessions, as well as the women and children.

Zhao Yue didn't fight these people's ideas at all.

He knows very well that if he moves the refugees, the already sad and desperate refugees will be even more angry and resentful of the government after they know it, and they will alarm the government. The only way left is to flee for your life.

The refugees' horses, whether good or bad, were so hungry that they could not support the long runs.

Subjectively, Zhao Yue had no intention of killing these people.

They are just hard herdsmen who are exploited by fighting with Tiandou and wild wolves, and they are not guilty but they are suffering, and Zhao Yue can't do anything to such a group. Even if they're alien.

Zhao Yue felt that in the past few days, the pace of spring had significantly accelerated.

The snow and ice began to melt. The earth is green. The human heart seems to be cleared up, filled with the joy and impulse of inexplicable hope.

Zhao Yue didn't like to see the haggard faces of hunger, pain, grief and despair, and tried to restrain himself from distributing food to the hungry and dying children, which should be the business of the Great Liao Mansion. Even if he did, he couldn't help. And the act of kindness, I am afraid that it will attract a few gratitude, but more of it is the Khitan refugees who wave their butcher knives at him and loot.

The Khitans protected Daliao and fed the Khitan ruling class to the point that it was time for the Khitan ruling class to repay the Khitans. If they don't have the ability to protect the Khitans, if they can't even help the people with food and clothing, then this ruling class should be spurned and destroyed.

Zhao Yue deliberately ignored the refugees he encountered, and couldn't help but think of the miracle that his beloved girlfriend appeared far away on Taiwan Island, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: In this life, I finally grew up and started thinking about women?

On this day, Hai Dongqing, who was scouting, flew back to 'report' the situation.

Have a convoy nearby?

Zhao Yue's eyes widened, and he immediately led everyone to sneak up and take a look.

It turned out to be nearly twenty wagons.

Although it is a single horse, it looks very easy on the flat road. I don't know what kind of cargo is so light. Cotton?

The convoy was Khitan.

The guards were thirty or so horsemen, with swords and bows, and there were not many people, but they felt very strong.

The driver also brought weapons, and looked at the majestic and fierce appearance, obviously not full of appearance. If you need to, you can definitely swing a knife to kill you.

Zhao Yue's nose was sharp, and he faintly smelled herbs and tea leaves in the wind.

He smiled.

I don't know if this second-way dealer caravan got so much tea and medicine from the Great Song Dynasty to supply them to the Liao army's own people? Or the golden army, the enemy of their country?

Presumably for Jin Jun, right?

Otherwise, in this dangerous and cold season, which is not conducive to travel, it is not worth it for them to suffer such a big sin and take such a big risk, but they cannot get huge profits.

Just by the good horses they ride, how well they are warmly dressed, and how well they are armed, they don't look like merchants who are short of money and eager to make money.

Zhao Yue smiled and whispered to the people around him: "We Han people have traitors, and there are traitors and black-hearted businessmen in Liao!" Hey. ”

There were only about thirty horses, not enough for the brothers to ride, but a little less. But tea and herbs are good things that are needed in the mountains, so I laughed at it.

Zhao Yue decided to rob it, gesturing to track down to the location where it was easy to start, using the old method, but it was also a good way that had been tried and tested repeatedly - an ambush and raid, and this no-cost deal was made.

The little warrior who had complained about not having a horse blushed with excitement.

This little brother admires Zhao Yue more and more, and he is also very enterprising, after secretly learning Zhao Yue along the way, and trying to follow Zhao Yue's feelings, he is obviously enlightened.

yes, that's a fart! (To be continued.) )
