Some watersheds are like a pass, the other end of the pass may be a horse and a flat river in sight, or thorns are all over the deep twists and turns, you only have to work hard to climb up, standing on the top of the mountain to look, to know what the road ahead is like. At this time, even if you find that the road ahead is bumpy and confused, you can only grit your teeth and move on......

That year, in the fifth year of my becoming Zhanghuta Daxiong, it belonged to such a watershed for both the Daning Dynasty and me, but our Daning needed to wade through mountains and rivers between the Xiongguan Mandao... In front of me was a crossroads where you could choose......

The opportunity of the matter is an "edict", the so-called edict, is an official trade license signed by the political envoy of Liaodong and the general army of Liaodong, the Su tribe can use the edict to open in Funu City and other places of the horse market and the Ning people to trade, you don't underestimate the value of this document, many things we are used to, the Su people can not make, therefore, they can only use mink ginseng and other special products from the Han land.

For hundreds of years, the Liaodong government has also relied on edicts to balance (stir up) the strength and weakness of the various ministries of the Su Dynasty. In recent years, this kind of edict has generally been controlled by the Xianzhou Su Ya Zhenjin Ministry, which was vigorously supported by the "Lin Jiajiang", and the Ninggong Special Su Tatar could only rely on the Zhenjin Ministry's snort if they wanted to trade with the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after the layers of pumping water from the real gold department and the Han official profiteers, the Ninggong special departments will always suffer some losses in this trade, even so, they still have to be grateful to the people of Xianzhou, and in some things, they often have to look forward to the head of the Xianzhou Su Ta horse.

But in that year, the little Ninggong Tesu Zhanghu Pagoda Department actually got an edict. Because, under the vigorous efforts of the Ministry of Real Gold, the alliance between Xianzhou and Ninggongte has been initially established......

In order to show grace, the True Gold Department uncharacteristically distributed edicts, and even small tribes like the Zhanghu Pagoda Department also got one.

This is a big deal in the Zhanghu Tower, everyone wants to follow the caravan to the horse market in the Han land, according to your Qiangui words, it is to "catch the field", but to catch a field, it takes nearly 3,000 miles to go back and forth.

The caravan set out in August of that year, more than 20 people rode on two horses, drove more than 30 loads of goods, and rushed to the horse market, and the caravan was basically all young people, only Qingbai who led the caravan was over 40 years old. I, Wehda, Idahun, and Twilight Rain were among them.

The mountains in the northeast are not as high and dense as you have here, but they are "bigger" than the mountains here, and the most important thing is that the forests are thick and stretch for thousands of miles, like a vast green ocean, and there are few towns along the way.

It is this green barrier that isolates a lot of the "end of Qingping" that should have attracted the attention of the central court center, and in the impression of the central princes, although this isolated place is dangerous, the civilization level of the Su people living in it is very low, so the Su Tatar border is not as important as those places at the junction with Wei Wu.

Strange to say, as long as you analyze the information sent back from Liaodong over the years, you can find that the Su people have become more and more difficult to control.

However, the center's focus is not to put it in the northeast, and even a few years ago, it found a reason to impeach Lin Chengdong, the chief soldier of Liaodong! After that, Lin Chengdong ...... Hey, everything has a cause and effect......

There is a proverb that "the devil hides in the subtleties". When I was still Jin Yuwei Xiaoqi Zhao Ning, I once reported a piece of information. In September of that year, I was injured a little, well, the scar was here, I was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and during that time I could only recuperate in the border fort every day, and when I was bored, I went to the horse market next to the border fort, and as I walked around, I realized that something was not quite right.

That year, the stalls selling iron pots in the horse market were not as lively as in previous years, and the shoddy Luo pot, which did not sell well in previous years, sold better than the refined Cantonese pot this year! I was secretly frightened, and quickly checked the trading books of the horse market after the end of the horse market, and found that the trading volume of iron pots in the horse market in those years was decreasing year by year, especially this year, which was completely less than in previous years!

Don't understand?

In fact, it is very simple, Luo pot is made of poor pig iron, a ten-pound Luo pot, after returning to the furnace, you can get 3 catties of refined iron, and a wide pot, you can smelt 5 catties of refined iron. These refined irons are the raw materials for the manufacture of armor and weapons.

For a long time, the Su people would go all out to purchase iron pots in the horse market, especially the Canton pot, in order to return to the furnace to make iron and build weapons. This year, why didn't they suddenly buy iron pots? Surely it won't be because they love peace......

In that year, there was no less dispute between the various tribes than in previous years. Therefore, there is only one reason, that is, the Su Tatar people found iron ore and learned to mine it......

I hurriedly handed over this information to Shangguan, who also attached great importance to it after reading it, and reported it to the capital with the military post Pegasus. And then? And then there was no then......

Maybe this piece of information was used by some anxious little father-in-law...... The so-called "blood sincerity of scholars is only a tool for the officials to spur"...... Throughout the ages, it has been like this......

The group of Zhanghu Pagoda and his party trekked in the mountains and forests for nearly forty days, and then, a familiar scene appeared in front of my eyes...... Liao Yuebao, it's been a long time......

Liao Yue Fort is one of the outpost fortresses commonly used by the Golden Feather Guard when they do not collect their troops at night, we set up camp in the open space outside the city, during the day, my companions happily took the local products to trade in the horse market next to the fort, and I said to them, I have been annoyed with the Ning people since I was a child, and when I see the Ning people, I can't control the desire to draw my sword and slash, so I still stay in the camp to take care of the horses.

Hey, in those days, I shrank in the shadow of the horses, secretly watching the crowd of people coming and going in Liao Yuebao, I wanted to find familiar faces in them, but I was afraid to see them......

In all fairness, Jin Yuwei, especially Jin Yuwei of Liaodong Zhenfusi, is not constrained by too many rules and regulations, and when acting, you can use many means outside the law to achieve your goals - lynching, inducement, or even scarelessness, as long as you can find a high-sounding reason for all this.

But there is one iron law that Jin Yuwei must abide by. That's loyalty. Loyal to the saint, loyal to the organization, loyal to the robe. Jin Yuwei has always been desperate for betrayers, and he will never be soft. Jin Yuwei's official definition of betrayal includes many forms, among which is the one that is captured in battle......

There is no way, because there are too many confidential things we have done, and everyone has some important things in their stomachs that are not enough for outsiders to say. So to be captured is to betray ......

On the day he joined Jin Yuwei, along with the Flying Fish Suit Embroidered Spring Knife, there was also a silver necklace with a hollow pendant on it, which contained a strong poison that could kill Huangquan in an instant. We are taught not to hesitate to swallow the poison in this pendant and commit suicide when we are in a desperate situation and are bound to be captured.

But for those of us who don't collect at night, many times we have to enter the territory of the Su Tatar people and pretend to be the Su Tatar people to do official business. Sometimes it even takes a long time to mingle with the Su Tatar people. Therefore, we have a special criterion for judging whether or not you are captured - after returning from a solo operation, you need to check your identity tooth tag.

The tooth tag is hidden close to the body, and if it is intact, it means that the identity was not exposed when it was not closed that night; On the contrary, it shows that this person was still able to survive after being discovered Jin Yuwei's true identity, which is enough to prove that he has surrendered and betrayed that night...... Such an unfaithful person cannot be allowed to continue to live in this world.

And my embarrassment was that I managed to hide the identity of Jin Yuwei after I was captured, but at the same time, the tooth tag was gone......

I had the consciousness of generosity early on, but as a renegade deserter, I was stripped naked and cut off my head on my knees...... I don't accept this kind of death!

So in those years, I have been honestly living by the side of the Su Tatar people, trying to make myself play the role of Zhang Huta Da Xiong, I firmly believe that there will be a battle between Daning and Su Ta, and at that time, I may be able to find a suitable opportunity to return to Jin Yuwei, or I can find a dignified place for myself to die!

I stayed in the camp for two days, and the local products brought by the Zhanghu Pagoda were almost sold, and on the morning of the third day, my companions went to the horse market to trade with the last of their goods, and not long after I set out, Itahun ran back to the camp in a panic.

"Go and see, something has happened to Twilight! cut down a Ning person, and Ning Ren's yamen wanted to arrest her! ”

When I heard this, I didn't care if I would be recognized, so I hurried back to the horse market with Itahun.
