The overall idea of the plot, with the light of the predecessors of the Yan family, has been slightly improved, and it is basically complete; The rest of the matter is mostly a trivial matter.

Of course, there is still a key point in this game, that is, the time difference between the two sides to arrive at Baoma Village, and how to deploy. Frankly speaking, if Shen Gui had a choice, then he would rather hope that the candidate for the commander who led the heavy cavalry march would be Hu Legen, who has a relatively mature and stable personality, rather than the straightforward Risu.

Shen Gui is not afraid that his opponent is a smart person, and even prefers to compete with a smart person; Because although smart people think about problems from a variety of angles, they must all be reasonable; And often the wiser the person, the more accustomed he is to deliberately avoiding those contingencies that are not under his control; It is necessary to talk about the trajectory of the overall plan, and only after thinking that it is properly arranged, will we start to implement it.

But the situation can be completely controlled by oneself, and there is often the possibility of being mastered by the opponent.

For Shen Gui, as long as he can touch the overall framework of the other party's thinking, then with the advantage of local warfare and his emphasis on information, it is easy to play the effect of anti-guest, which has always been one of the ways he is best at.

It's terrible to be afraid of a reckless man like Nari Su who can't figure out his thoughts, because there is no idea in the mind of this kind of person. Their every move, word and deed is completely spontaneous, freewheeling, full of incredible accidents; In this way, Shen Gui's methods are all useless.

In the end, Shen Gui gave Na Ri Su a tailor-made "do what he liked", in essence, the means were actually very crude; But it was already the best he could think of. Ri Su was not Guo Xing, what was going on in his head, even he couldn't figure it out; If the "suit" is too complicated, Shen Guizhen is afraid that he will not understand it at all, and he will waste his follow-up arrangements in vain.

Since you can't fully understand the opponent's context, you can only work harder on the details and fight a fatigue battle. Fortunately, the marching speed of the Mobei heavy armored cavalry team was very slow, and Shen Gui could choose a stupid method: send a few more groups of spies, and use three shifts to follow and keep track of the guards along the way, and deliver news at all times;

For the two teams of Diting merchants who came to negotiate business with samples of goods, the "reception staff" of Haining Port, who could be sent by their side, were postponed for a while for various reasons and accidents to match the speed of the Mobei heavy cavalry.

Of course, it is indeed very difficult to accurately grasp the order of arrival of the two sides, given the existing conditions of the Huayu Continent; But if this matter is handed over to the "Hundred Birds" of Xiaoqimen to deal with, then with Qin Qiu and Qin Zigui's ability, things will become simpler!

Let's put aside the spoils distribution meeting in Baoma Village for the time being, just talk about the unlucky people who went into the mountains to look for wine.

As Fan Laoqi and Qi Hui said, although it is now spring, the frozen soil of Youbei Third Road has just shown signs of civilization.

If the 2,000 Mobei heavy armored cavalry were placed on the frontal battlefield, they would immediately turn into devastating beasts of the wilderness, crushing all enemies who dared to face the horse's hooves; But now they were not only separated, but they also took off their armor; In this way, the last trump card of these Shenshi tribes has become no different from ordinary infantry.

A team of 2,000 people is not much, but it is really a lot. Five of them carried torches, formed a twisted fire dragon in the dark night, and slowly stepped on the mountain road leading to the wine cellar in the back mountain.

The snow had already begun to melt in the cold winter, but a few days ago, a cold wind blew and froze the freshly melted snow back into ice. As soon as the soles of the boots of the Mobei soldiers stepped on it, there was a creaking and crunching sound, not to mention how slippery it was!

Qi Hui walked at the front of the line with a torch, and behind him were the two gluttonous overseers of Nari Su and the bald horse bandits. While pretending to look for the passage in his memory, he was still chattering non-stop:

"The two military masters have seen it, this is not our fat man's nonsense! Recently, the mud in the back mountain is narrow and slippery, and the cold has only been back for a few days? There were four villagers in our village who fell into blood mold, broke their bones when stealing wine, screamed in pain for half a night, and finally gritted their teeth and crawled back to the village! Tell me, how dangerous this mountain road is! ”

And the thoughts of the two overseers have long been placed on thousands of jars of fine wine; not only ignored Fan Fatzi's words, but also ignored many important details.

For example, if you want to dig such a big cave, how can you hide it from the nearby yamen? If you say that the wine is stored properly, although you are not afraid of too many years, but the weather in the north is so extreme, if you choose to open a cellar here, they are not afraid of freezing and cracking the jar?

In fact, the two of them only drank wine, and they didn't think about the details of brewing, storage, transportation, etc. So it's not an unintentional mistake, it's that they don't know the way it is at all.

As we went further and further, the dirt beneath our feet became more and more sticky. That day, Su listened to the sound of "popping" mud under his feet, and his heart began to get bored:

"I said Fan Fatty, you can't be leading the wrong way, right? Although it was pitch black in front of me, I couldn't see it clearly, but I heard the sound of mud under my feet, let's not go back for a long time, right? ”

Qi Hui's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he immediately replied with a little nervousness:

"Master Jun, as I said just now, hiking at night is a taboo; In addition, the current season is not right, isn't the mountain road getting more and more muddy? Where is this? You two are in a hurry...... Oh no! The military situation is like fire, haha, the military situation can't be delayed! But please rest assured, I grew up on this mountain road, even if both of you are blind, there will be no turning back! In your opinion, there may be no difference between the grass and the tree in this mountain; But in my eyes, it's a guiding light! Don't worry, after another quarter of an hour's walk, you'll almost be there! ”

There's no way, it's all here, and the muddy ground has been wading for half an hour, so you can't just go home empty-handed because the mountain road is difficult, right? So, this long queue of 2,000 people continued to follow Fan Fatzi forward. Fortunately, there is still a hope of drinking wine in my heart, and the soldiers' tolerance for the muddy land has also improved a lot invisibly.

Sure enough, after walking for another quarter of an hour or so, Fan Fatzi stopped at the entrance of a cave.

"How about the two military masters, my fat man didn't tell nonsense, right? We're all in place! ”

That day, Su and the bald horse bandits were already impatient, and before Fan Fatzi finished showing his exploits, he had already carried two torches and ran towards the cave!

"Who?"

A man's shout echoed in the cave, immediately startling the two Mobei cavalrymen into a cold sweat; Before they could make a move, Fan Fatzi had already followed:

"Stop shouting, me!"

"Hey, village chief! When you entered the mountain in the middle of the night, it was the wine worm in your stomach that made a fuss, right? ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, although they haven't seen this person's face clearly, the two Mobei people have completely put their minds at ease. It seems that he is not a "bad man", just a villager in charge of guarding the wine cellar.

"This time, we found a big buyer, and I brought someone to pick up the goods."

After the two of them confessed, a thin old man came out of the depths of the cave. He glanced at Qi Hui, reached out and took the torch, and lit the oil lamps on the mountain wall in turn, and the whole dark cave suddenly became clear.

Sure enough, except for a hammock, all the space in the cave was filled with a large wine urn in the arms of one person. On that day, Su happily stepped forward, put his nose close to the mouth of the altar, and sniffed greedily......

"Huh? I said Fan Fatty, why doesn't this wine jar smell of wine? ”

"Hehe, didn't the military master see that thick layer of sealing mud? If you can still smell the slightest aroma through the mud seal, won't it smell away? In just a day or two, this whole jar of fine wine will become more sour than vinegar! ”

"Oh...... So that's what happened...... But we've walked so far on the muddy road, you have to open a jar for us to inspect the color, right? ”

Qi Hui's heart sank when he heard this, he knew better than anyone what was in these thousands of vats; However, after thinking about it again, it seems that there is nothing wrong with me, maybe this day Su is just gluttonous......

"It's such an expensive thing, you can't take it with you if you open a tank...... I said, old Wangtou, is there any inventory that you secretly opened and haven't drunk yet? Take it out to the owner of the goods for inspection. ”

The old man who was looking at the cellar didn't care when he heard this, and pointed casually:

"The second row, the sixth urn. It has nothing to do with me, it broke apart on its own. ”

Qi Hui stepped forward with a smile, holding the wine jar that "broke the mud seal by himself" with both hands, and moved back leisurely. The two drunken Mobei men hurriedly pulled out the altar seal, lowered their heads and took a deep sip of the aroma of wine......

Sure enough, it was the kind of aged burnt knife they had drunk, and I didn't see it, but the thin old man in the cellar was quite knowledgeable!

With a word of receipt, his cavalry tied up the jar with all their hands and feet; But Lao Wang looked at the Mobei cavalry who was about to move wine out of the cave, but let out an angry roar:

"Stop it! You little cubs really don't know how thick the sky is? This jar is so heavy that it crushes its shoulders! How far can you go with it? The cheapest jar here, which also starts at 1,500 taels of silver, is that why you waste your good things? ”

After shouting, the stubborn old man beckoned, and led the two "masters" to the back of his hammock:

"Look, these guys are the ones they threw here after they carried the wine into the mountain. You young people, you know how to spend a lot of money on weekdays, and none of you will get by! These big lifts aren't worth much, but sometimes, they just come in handy! ”

So, these big-headed soldiers with little life experience, under the guidance of Old Man Wang, tied every wine jar to the pole; And he tied the rest of the rope tightly between his waist and abdomen. As the leader of the team, Su and the bald horse bandit thanked him again and again because he was moved by this cold-faced and hot-hearted stubborn old man; Then he tied the last pole to his waist, and with the other three brothers in charge of the palace, he gritted his teeth and carried the dead wine jar, and walked out of the cave......
