Section 322 Kill the wolf, 1
found a place with a small forest on the side of the road, only three or four miles away from the village in front, and Zhao Yue led the team here.
The art of war is not a dogma, it must be studied and applied. People do things not as a dead machine, but must be flexible and diverse in judging the situation according to local conditions.
Robbery does not have to be carried out in particularly remote and unpopulated places.
For this kind of opponent who is a lot worse than the elite of the iron armor, as long as he can achieve a quick victory, it is not a problem to be close to the Khitan village.
At the beginning of the sneak attack, two ends were used to intercept and flank left and right.
The caravan was familiar with this road, and obviously did not expect that anyone would dare to rob such a large group of goods here.
In this fight, the sound can easily attract the attention and support of the village in front. Even if you succeed in grabbing it, it is not conducive to transfer. This is not an ideal place for robbery. There should never be a robbery.
It's just that there are too many things that shouldn't happen in the world. This is the complexity of society.
More than 60 crossbows were used against more than 50 targets, and there was still a surplus of attack power. Under a burst of crossbow arrows, the caravan guards on horseback were caught off guard and planted their horses one after another, and the coachman was almost dead. The rest of the eyes were shot again. The people outside the truck blinked for a few moments, and none of them straightened up.
Dozens of men rushed out of the groves on both sides, stabbing them in the throat again regardless of whether they were dead or not, and then cleaned up the battlefield, searched the trucks, and quickly killed the stewards in the several trucks who were screaming in anger.
The bodies were all left in the grove on one side.
Wang Nianjing and Xu Jin stayed.
The others got on their horses, set up their carts, and in a blink of an eye turned into a caravan and continued on their way, calmly passing through the village, and seeing the deserted situation, no one in the village should have noticed that this caravan was actually a robber.
Everything happened too fast and ended too quickly.
The villagers heard the frightened shouts. Probably wouldn't believe that the caravans passing by weren't legal. It is likely that the faint cries will be regarded as a boring and bright voice for the caravan journey.
Zhao Yue and the others were all tightly covered in the cold, and their outfits were nothing eye-catching and special. No one knows what they really are.
As for the horses and wagons that were robbed?
There are many similar caravans.
In later generations, under the condition of monitoring everywhere, you can not tell if you can help the elderly fall, and those who touch porcelain can rely on you, not to mention in this era of backward technology.
I want to chase down what the passing robbers have quietly robbed. It's too hard. This is the reason why horse thieves who come and go like the wind have won for a long time.
Even if they were traced afterwards, no one would be able to recognize the murderers as Zhao Yue and them.
After leaving the village for two or three miles, when they reached the fork in the road, the wagon turned from the north to the west, and began to spur the horse to run fast.
Zhao Yue sat in the van and looked at the caravan's list of goods and customs clearance certificates.
Thirty percent of the goods are fine teas, and the rest are good herbs. Based on Zhao Yue's understanding of herbal medicine in this life, it can also be seen that although there are many varieties of herbal medicines, most of them can be mixed to prepare gold sore medicine. This caravan came from the Great Song border and ran far enough. It's a lot of work.
He looked at the intended destination of the goods on it, Zhongjing. I couldn't help but pout.
Zhongjing was also not too far from the area where the Jin army attacked and occupied. Your goal is the Golden Army, right? Why don't you write about Beijing and get closer to the Jin Army?
Killing this team, Zhao Yue had no psychological burden.
Calculating the time and the speed of the convoy, it is estimated that the convoy has gone far. Wang Nianjing and Xu Jin lit the corpses, piled up clothes and dry weeds and pine branches, and watched as the fire gradually rose, setting fire to the nearby pine trees, which would surely burn wildly with the help of the wind, and eventually burn the entire grove. The corpse would be destroyed, and they jumped on their horses and left.
The people of the village saw that the grove suddenly burst into flames. but did not save it.
There is no way to save it.
If you go, it is likely that you will be killed or injured. For that grove, it's not worth it.
They thought it was too boring for the caravans to travel in the past, and they deliberately played pranks to relieve their boredom, just as they deliberately screamed in terror. I only hate these rich people for acting recklessly, and destroying a place for them to collect firewood just for fun. But he can only scold a few words to relieve his hatred.
As a Khitan herdsman who migrated south. But there are horses that can catch up. But what about catching up?
Threatening the caravan to lose money?
Those people are armed with bows and arrows, and if they dare to dart for long distances, they must not be easy to cause trouble. If you dare to set fire to make trouble, you must have a background to rely on.
If you can't get rich and powerful, let's put up with it.
It's not just the people of the Great Song Dynasty who are vulnerable. The same is true for the Khitan underclass. Nomads believe in the law of survival of wolves. More recognition of bullying and more patience.
Zhao Yue is well aware of this.
Successfully made the road for two days. It was only after dark that day that I came to a three-way intersection, and saw that there were no villages and towns in this area, but there was a small inn with a small area. It is surrounded by a small wall made of stone and concrete. There are also a lot of thatched houses built inside, and there is a spacious canteen in the middle, where there are six or seven tables of guests who are dining, the number of people at each table varies, there are old and young, there are nearly 20 people in total, all of them are men, there are differences in dress, they speak different dialects, and most of them are Khitan.
The food and drinks look more sumptuous. The guests ate and drank happily, and the laughter was loud, and the atmosphere of the dining hall was warm and warm. The shopkeeper is also very enthusiastic.
It seems that the inn has some strength and is relatively formal. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the guests.
But as soon as Zhao Yue entered the door, he felt a faint murderous aura from all the people inside.
He ignored the enthusiastic smiling faces of the shopkeepers who greeted them, and detected the hidden excitement and mockery in the guys' eyes, and even more faintly smelled blood.
It was the blood of many people who had just died.
Zhao Yue had a keen sense, and he could generally distinguish between the blood of Qing people and the smell of blood of chickens, sheep and beasts.
Shi Yong and Wang Nianjing finished arranging the horses and wagons for the inn guys outside, and came in and gave Zhao Yue a vague look.
They are old rivers and lakes, and they know by intuition that this place is not normal.
Sun Erniang, who has peach blossom noodles but is actually a dominatrix in the Great Song Dynasty, and Deng Yun, who likes to open a meat bun shop. How could the more barbaric and ferocious Khitans in Liao lack the ability to open black shops?
Zhao Yue laughed, as if he was very satisfied with the accommodation environment here, but he raised his hand and poured the hot tea on the eyes of the shopkeeper who was bent down and asked the distinguished guests what to eat tonight. The hot guy screamed high-pitched. Zhao Yue's subordinates changed their faces together, shouted, and the steel knife came out of its sheath and killed everyone here.
The people in the inn suddenly shouted fiercely, and pulled out their weapons from under the table or from hidden parts to resist. But where are the opponents of well-armed and well-trained armies.
Zhao Yue sat there and didn't move.
These trash fish are not worth his hands.
The chief of the guard, Wang Nianjing, did not participate in the battle after killing the guy who greeted Zhao Yue, resisted the knife, and stood quietly beside the master, ready to kill the gangsters who dared to rush at Zhao Yue at any time.
In a short time, all the forty or so members of the inn were cleaned up, including a few women who were either fierce or seductive.
A while. Shi Yong came over and scolded in return: "Childe, this inn is murderous enough." There is a semi-basement near the kitchen in the back hall, and there are actually more than a dozen fresh corpses of naked pigs in it, but I am afraid that they are all guests who have arrived today. There were a couple of guys who were busy in it peeling pigs. I was also creepy when I saw it. After checking, none of the people who came to stay were rich or poor. ”
The shop has been around for years.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged Khitan who is quite brave and rarely shows up. Now he is dead under Shi Yong's knife.
He is very shrewd, runs a black shop, runs well, harms countless people, and makes a fortune, but no one has ever found out. In the past, it was not all the visitors who were slaughtered, and only those who had money and no trouble were killed. At present, refugees from the north are pouring in, and social order is chaotic. That's when he took the opportunity.
This gang of murderers never imagined that they would be as enthusiastic as ever. It was customary to watch these fatter humanoid pigs and sheep fall like their usual guests, but they encountered a stronger and more ferocious wolf than them, and it was they who fell.
Zhao Yue is psychologically normal, he doesn't like to kill people, and he doesn't like to smell people's blood. I didn't like to live in such a dirty place, but I calmly decided to stay for one night.
It's better than sleeping out on a cold night in early spring.
This is not the future generations of star-rated hotels all over the place, and anything may be encountered when you go out. Not to be particular.
The subordinates closed the door of the inn and took off the inn logo. The welcome lantern was extinguished, and no one came to stay again, but no one actually came. The scene was largely cleaned up, and the bodies were piled up in that basement. He made food and drank with the grain and meat of the inn, fed the horses, and rested here for the night, and the next morning he took up the wealth accumulated by the inn, the weapons of murder, some cooking tools, some grain and meat dishes for the convenience of the road, and more than sixty horses from the inn parked in the backyard, and left with the caravan.
More than forty of these horses were quite good, and it is very likely that the inn killed the passers-by, got the horses, and chose the good ones from them, and kept them for their own use.
When the wicked are more vigilant, when they encounter unexpected crises, they can run away and run away, that is a must.
Liao people Thomas. The inn has a back door, and it is normal for the backyard to be equipped with horses as escape tools.
Zhao Yue didn't burn down the inn, but just locked the door, in case someone found out about the bloody case before they went far, and there was trouble, delaying them to get out and leave.
There is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil in all things in the universe, it is people who say that the way of heaven is ruthless, and they regard all things as dogs. With talent, there is right and wrong.
It is the people, not the houses, who are sinister and guilty.
Zhao Yue hated the destruction of all the useful things that humans had worked so hard to create for various reasons, including this house that served as a black shop.
There is an inn in this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, which is indeed convenient for passing guests. In the future, whether good people or evil people occupy this place, whether it is used to benefit or harm people, that is arranged by the people's hearts, and it is none of his business.
He's just a passer-by.
With surplus horses and food, there is no need to rush to the place of food and accommodation, and it is much more convenient and faster to travel.
Everyone quickly turned from the 11th road with only a little bit of entanglement into an elite cavalry with chariots and horses, and also made a windfall, relaxed, comfortable, and naturally high-spirited.
They swaggered along the official road, the ice and snow melted on the road, but the dirt road was still relatively hard, the truck traveled more smoothly, and quickly arrived at the mountainous area where the new and old nests were located, but did not enter from the South Mountain Pass nearby, but went around the far to the West Mountain Pass.
Although there are mountain roads that can pass through horse-drawn carriages, there are no people in the area near the mountain pass, so they can be watched in and out of the mountains, but the trucks cannot enter the mountains.
Xishankou faces the Yanshan Basin, with countless villages and towns, and there are northbound transportation arteries leading to Shanhaiguan and other places.
From there, it is also impossible to get into the mountains, and the road to the lair is farther and more difficult.
But there, there is a large inn on the edge of the mountain seven or eight miles away from the deep mountain pass, and the black shop that Zhao Yue and they robbed is not in the front of the village, and there is no store in the back, and there are no people in the surrounding miles, but it is a road to the north, and there is no business, it was originally a black shop opened by the Cui family.
Yanzhi Cuijiabao is in the north of Yanjing. The West Pass is closer to Cuijiabao.
This shop is managed by twenty or thirty men from the Cui family's Wuyong family, and it is an important stronghold.
It can not only hack the guests, but also facilitate the receipt of the loot that the Cui family horse thieves robbed and need to be processed, and all the dirt will be transferred to the Cui family fort or town for sale, and it is also the front guard of the lair, and is responsible for clearing the Orion families who settled on the road not too far into the mountain, and keeping the secret of the passage for the horse thieves to enter the mountain.
The inn is far away from the mountain roadside, in order to appear reasonable, homeopathic to game-based, both mountain goods, the price is fair, and it is popular with nearby hunters.
They are also very particular about hackers, and they don't kill if they have benefits.
It will attract troublesome guests, no matter how much money there is, the inn will not be moved, and the Cui family horse thief will be responsible for cleaning up the matter elsewhere.
The inn is clean, the wine and food are good, the service is thoughtful and enthusiastic, and the behavior is strict. Anyone who has come into contact with the inn and is still alive will not feel that this will be a black shop that eats people.
Since the mysterious collapse of the Cangzhou branch, the Cui family judged that it was the Liao army sent by the Yan King, and felt that the Khitan government was unreliable, and began to gather people in Shifeng's lair to strengthen its self-protection strength.
Now, as the old nest of Shifeng in the deep mountains changed hands, Duan Jingzhu, who stayed behind, learned from the telegram of the armed merchant ship that Zhao Yue had successfully sent off the team, estimated the arrival time of Zhao Yue's return, and agreed with Zhao Yue in advance.
After Zhao Yue arrived, he saw that many of the guys here were capable horse thieves and Khitan people who had taken care of their injuries, the control and management were in place, the service was perfect and thoughtful, everything was in order, and the inn was more like a high-grade inn in Liaoguo, he couldn't help laughing, and praised Qian Jar and Jin Laishun for being business talents.
Qian Jar and Jin Laishun laughed.
It turned out that these two were the Han people who opened an inn in Liao, and the business was booming, and most of the chefs and foremen were the ones who had to use the old man's hands, and then the inn was bullied by the local Haoqiang, they suffered and went bankrupt, and Duan Jingzhu was an old acquaintance, and in a fit of anger, he followed Lao Duan as a horse thief, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on that Haoqiang, relying on his true colors to be able to Mengren is usually mainly responsible for spying on intelligence in various places, and now he is doing his old job, he and his subordinates are stronger, more familiar with black and white, and more able to play, It is really not difficult to take over the good operation of this inn, and it is also skillful to deal with the hunters who come to sell the goods, and the Cui family did not notice the inn incident, and no one felt abnormal.
