Another day, returned to the original ambush of the col, Yuan Lang, Jin Ding led the troops to greet them, these two completed the task of escorting the war horse, Gongsun Sheng was worried about the safety of Chao Gai and others, so he came back.

That night, they were still camping on the mountain beams, and the Chinese army tented in a big tent, and Chao Gai invited Chao Wei over.

Chao Gai said: "The battle of robbing the horses has ended smoothly here, and your credit is very great, and when you return to Black Dragon Island to remember your credit, you will not be missing your credit." Now you have two choices, do you want to follow us back to Heilong Island and I will arrange you a position as a deputy general in the army, or you return to Liaodong and still do intelligence work. ”

Chao Wei clenched his fists and said: "Now there are many Han people in Liaodong, and there are other tribes, and they have no feelings for the Jin Kingdom. According to my brother's instructions, we organized and encircled more than 2,000 people in the area of Changbai Mountain in eastern Liaodong, forming a large village. At this time, it was the time to buy mink, deer antlers, ginseng, and horses, and I didn't go back, for fear that other people would not be skilled in their business and cause losses to our caravan. ”

"Okay, then you can get ready, and the people with you will return early tomorrow morning. But you have to be mentally prepared, the Jin people's war horse was robbed this time, although we are playing under the guise of a black werewolf, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be punctured. Chao Gai said.

Chao Wei said: "The people of the Jin Kingdom will be the same for a while, so our business is originally half public and half underground, and there are almost 500 cronies, so it's a big deal that we fight them in Changbai Mountain." ”

Chao Gai nodded: "Okay, you can find a place in the mountains with dangerous terrain to build a stronghold, unite the people who can be united, and definitely save this trade route in Liaodong." ”

The two chatted until late at night, Chao Wei remembered some of the main points, in the final analysis, Chao Gai meant to let Chao Wei do trade in Liaodong at the same time, pull up a team, when necessary, occupy the mountain as the king, unite all the population and strength that can be united, and make the trade route of Liaodong bigger and bigger.

Chao Wei returned with a dozen or so of his people the next day, and the journey was arduous and indeed not easy.

After eating the war meal early, the horn of the camp sounded, and the army marched straight to the sea.

The vast sea was rough, and Zamula stared at the prisoners of war with a wooden stick, seeing if anyone was dishonest and would give them a stick, because Zamula was beaten when he was a prisoner of war in the East China Sea tribe.

Jiao Ting came over and glared at him, and shouted, "Don't beat people at every turn, eat a fish." ”

Jiao Ting took a grilled fish and handed it to Zamula, who shook his head and said, "Mongolians don't eat fish. ”

"Pull it down, that's because you don't know how to fish, and you don't have taboos when you eat fish, eat, it's delicious." Jiao Ting said.

It was a grilled mackerel, sprinkled with spices, and it tasted so fragrant that Zamula couldn't resist the temptation, ate a little bit, and then quickly ate it all.

Zamula said: "This sea is really big, it is comparable to the North Sea next to my house." ”

Jiao Ting didn't know where Beihai was, so he ignored him.

Zamula asked Chao Gai, "My lord, what are we doing at the beach, such a big water?" ”

Chao Gai said, "Take the boat and go back to the other side." ”

Zamula was taken aback: "Take a boat, go to the other side?" It's horrible, can I not go? ”

"What's so terrible about taking a boat, aren't you claiming to be an eagle on the grassland?" Chao Gai said.

Zamula said: "The wind and waves on the sea are so big, and the ship is so small, it shakes so much. "It turns out that this guy is seasick.

As he spoke, the sea whistle sounded, and the steamship belching white smoke arrived first.

The iron-clad Flying Eagle warship was powered by steam and sails, and looking at the huge fleet, the captives were a little surprised, they had never seen such a large ship.

Zamula also said, "This boat is so big, it's taller than several tents." With a big boat, we can fish in the sea on our steppe. ”

The sea on the grassland, Chao Gai was confused, he didn't understand what he was talking about, this Zamula was lost, he didn't know where his home was, he only knew that he wanted the horses to run for twenty days, and there was a sea on the grassland there.

For the time being, Chao Gai didn't bother to care about him, Xu Guanzhong came over and said: "The ships of the navy and the caravan are ordered to pick up the troops, please ask Chao Tuan to practice boarding the ship." ”

Chao Gai said, "Please let the fallen heroes be the first to board the ship." ”

The cavalry was solemn on both sides, and the ashes of the fallen soldiers were covered with military flags and boarded in the arms of their comrades.

The ship sounded its whistle in mourning, followed by the wounded on board. Finally, when everything was ready, Chao Gai boarded the ship.

The seven hundred captives were divided into ships, and at first they were afraid that they would make trouble, but in fact they were very honest and had been nomadic for many years, and they were full of awe of the sea, and did not dare to mess around on the ship at all.

Strong, like a bull, Zamura lay down not long after he reached the boat, vomiting like a drunkard.

Fortunately, the distance is very close, and it takes half a day to arrive by sea for 100 miles. Disembarked and landed, and as soon as he got off the ship, the herald arrived.

The herald said: "Due to the absence of the main force in Black Dragon City, there was a disturbance in the infantry defending the city, and Pang Wanchun led Li Kui's troops and the Yebu to attack the city. ”

Chao Gai immediately said: "Lu Fang led his troops to escort the prisoners to the Fierce Bull Grassland Barracks, and all the other departments rushed to Black Dragon City with me. ”

Nearly 3,000 light cavalry marched all the way, and it was two days later when Rao arrived at Black Dragon City.

The Black Dragon City is not majestic, a typical style of a small city in the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Liao State build a city so much like the Great Song Dynasty, it is not surprising to say, the Liao State, although it is known as the Khitans, but most of them are still Han people, nomads are not good at building cities, and this kind of thing is still done by craftsmen. After the completion of the Black Dragon City was abandoned for several decades, until the city lord Xiao and the black eagle came, the black dragon city regained its vitality, the city has a permanent population of more than 40,000 people, can be comparable to the scale of the small county town in the Central Plains, the wilderness can have such a city is very good.

Before arriving at the city gate, the city gate opened, and Pang Wanchun and Li Kui led more than ten soldiers and horses out to greet them.

Pang Wanchun said: "Chao Tuanlian, Gongsun Junshi, you have arrived." This time the situation is urgent, I am worried that the good Black Dragon City will be destroyed by the chaotic soldiers, so I will send troops first without asking for instructions, and I ask for forgiveness. ”

Chao Gai smiled: "We have handed over the affairs of Black Dragon Island to you before leaving, and it is up to you to decide how to deal with it, so what is the crime, and you have preserved Black Dragon City, a great achievement." ”

It turns out that this is the case, some time ago, the fishing boat requisitioned by the Black Dragon City Lord came back, and brought back the news that the Black Dragon City Lord led the main force to disappear and also brought back to Black Dragon City, Black Dragon City actually has 2,000 infantry, plus Zhendong Fort, Zhenxi Fort, and Zhenbei Fort, almost nearly 3,000 troops, which is still not to be underestimated. But the problem is that there are many soldiers, these soldiers heard that the main general ran away, and no one will send money and food in the future, as the so-called soldiers eat food, eat food and become soldiers, and the main general runs away and what kind of bird soldiers, everyone rushes to the city lord's mansion warehouse. There was still some grain in the granary, but the silver treasury was empty, and these soldiers immediately began to distribute the grain, and the various departments were not convinced by each other, and they fought separately. The grain that came late did not score, and a few soldiers began to fight the idea of the shops in Black Dragon City, and the business of Black Dragon City was still good, with hundreds of shops, wine shops, grain stores, restaurants, cloth shops, and so on. As soon as the rebels began, the city's informant reported to the fortress south of the town. Cui Ye immediately reported to Pang Wanchun. Pang Wanchun received the information and discovered the seriousness of the matter, and immediately summoned Li Kui and Tang Bin to discuss the matter.

Pang Wanchun said: "Our purpose is very clear, what we want is the entire Black Dragon Island, Black Dragon City is an important part of the Black Dragon Island, and it cannot be destroyed by the chaotic soldiers, I propose to send troops immediately." ”

Tang Bin said: "The 1,000 cavalry of our battalion is still unstable on horseback, and Hao Siwen and I led this 1,000 recruits to guard the fierce bull grassland. ”

Li Kui said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, still waiting for an egg, hurry up and take Black Dragon City, my brother will definitely praise us for doing a good job when he comes back." ”

Immediately, Pang Wanchun raised his troops to the north, five hundred archers and cavalry infantry were one person and two horses, taking turns to change horses, and rushed to the Zhennan fortress at a very fast speed, and then converged with Cui Yebu, leaving only 200 people in Zhennan Fort, a total of 2,000 people, and fifty artillery pieces went straight to Black Dragon City.

Black Dragon City is in chaos at this time, after three days of brewing, Black Dragon City has completely fermented, and the soldiers who have no restraint have begun to rob shops and rich households, and the second-rate bastards in the city have also begun to rob in all directions, with thick smoke billowing and the sound of crying fathers and mothers everywhere. There was no one to guard the city, and a few gatekeepers looked at the gate, and when they saw that the soldiers from the Jeju regiment were coming, they didn't resist and opened the city gate directly.

There were chaos in the city, and the destruction of Black Dragon City was not good for Jeju regimental training, which Pang Wanchun did not want to see. Immediately, Pang Wanchun ordered: "Cui Ye, you still lead the army to defend the city, control the four city gates, and do not let people enter or leave." ”

"Yes." Cui Ye took the order and left. Black Dragon City is not a big city, it didn't take much effort to control the four city gates, only encountered sporadic resistance, and soon the tiger squatted on the top of the city wall, and blocked the city gates.

Li Kui said: "What am I doing with Bao Xu?" ”

Pang Wanchun said: "You and Bao Xu led the army to patrol the city, shouting while patrolling the city, the rebels returned to the camp, and the people returned home." It is strictly forbidden to walk around on the streets, and violators will be killed. ”

"Yes." Li Kui shook the axe with joy.

"Come back, Li Kui and Bao Xu, you two can remember, the military order stipulates that innocent people cannot be killed indiscriminately." Pang Wanchun said.

Li Kui said: "Don't worry, I Li Kui is very conscious now." ”

After saying that, he led the soldiers away in a hurry, and the riotous soldiers on the street were robbing, from the money and food at the beginning, to the women, and the street became a pot of porridge.

The five hundred soldiers were murderous, and there were shouts in Khitan dialect, so that the rebels would all return to the camp and wait for the adaptation. A centurion was unconvinced and asked: "Who are you, the city lord Xiao is gone, and you are used to meddle in affairs." ”

Li Kui didn't have the patience to preach, he went over with an axe, his head flew off, and he lifted it up and shouted: "If you dare to be disobedient, you will be like this." ”

Killed all the way, killed dozens of rebels, and the other rebels were scared and obediently returned to the camp.
