"Is it your own person?" Seeing the soldiers of the Song Army sitting on the horses in front of them, these dozen young men were stunned.

"I'll go out and have a look!" The young leader said.

At that moment, the young leader stood up from his hiding place and ran forward.

"Who are you?" After a while, he came to the Song soldiers and shouted loudly.

Soon, several Song army generals in front rushed towards this side.

The young leader's face changed slightly, but he remained here and did not leave.

"We are soldiers of the Forbidden Army!" A general in his thirties in front laughed.

"A soldier of the Forbidden Army?" The young leader was stunned.

"We are from the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army of the Forbidden Army!" The middle-aged general said.

He came to the young leader, took out his token, and gave it to the young leader to look at.

"Sure enough, it's the general of the forbidden army! Hello General! A smile appeared on the young leader's face.

This gold medal can't be fake! Moreover, on the opposite side are the standard Han Chinese, not at all foreign barbarian fakes! I heard that the tone of voice is a person from the area of Chang'an, Guanxi, and it just so happens that this young leader is also from the area of Chang'an! Therefore, the young leader felt very gracious!

At that moment, the youth leader beckoned, and after a while, the other dozen or so youths also ran over.

"Do you know how to ride horses?" The middle-aged general asked.

The dozen or so youths nodded! They were in Liangzhou, which was originally the territory of the Tangut people, and there were a lot of horses left, so they would ride horses.

"That's great! We've been on the road for half a month, and now we're going to Liangzhou for a day off! Come with us! The middle-aged general smiled.

"Haven't asked the general for his name?" When they got on their horses, the horses headed in the direction of Liangzhou City, and the young leader arched his hand.

"I am Yang Zheng, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Forbidden Army! This is my brother Liang Hao! He pointed to a slightly lower general next to him.

"It turned out to be General Yang and General Liang! What are you doing in Tibet? The young leader said with some curiosity.

"It's okay to tell you, we're going to Tubo to buy horses! The more than 30,000 war horses behind this were all brought back from Tibet! Yang Zheng laughed.

"Buying a horse from Tibet?" A look of surprise appeared on the young leader's face.

"There are a lot of Tibetan horses! In fact, it is not to buy horses, but to change horses, to exchange tea from their hands! Yang Zhengdao.

Tibet is where Tibet is now! The Tibetans are the Tibetans of later generations!

Historically, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Tubo people once established the vast Tubo Empire! After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin had to encircle the Tubo people and marry Princess Wencheng to Tubo! But from the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan Empire had already begun to collapse!

By now, the Tibetan Empire has been divided into dozens of large and small tribes!

Historically, it was not until after the rise of the Mongols that Mongolia annexed Tibet, and then at the end of the Mongol period, the power of Tibetan Buddhism increased greatly, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, Tibet established a unified theocratic regime! Now Tubo is extremely scattered!

"Can you exchange tea for horses from the hands of the Tibetans?" It was the first time the young leader had heard of this, and he was even more surprised.

"In fact, decades ago, our Great Song Dynasty once made such a deal with the Tubo people, exchanging tea for horses! Now it's just a matter of picking it up again! Yang Zheng said with a smile.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a tea and horse market between the Northern Song Dynasty court and the Tubo tribe, and at most, in the era of Song Shenzong, 20,000 war horses could be exchanged at a time! However, after Zhao Ji of Song Huizong ascended the throne, the world was in turmoil, and the tea and horse market between the Northern Song Dynasty and Tubo also stopped! The Tibetan people needed tea, so they began to do business with Dali, and many of their tea leaves came from Dali!

"I heard that the Tubo people are very fierce, will they invade our Great Song Dynasty?" The youth leader said.

"Don't worry about this! Tibet is sparsely populated, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the largest tribe! We have 100,000 young people in Liangzhou City, all of whom are soldiers, as long as they are brave and dare to fight, they are not afraid! Moreover, Liangzhou is still far away from Tubo, and it is impossible for the Tubo people to leave their tribe and come here to invade! If they leave their tribe, they will soon be swallowed up by other tribes! Yang Zhengdao.

The young man nodded.

"Actually, you can have a lot of contact with the Tibetan people! Send people to give the specialties of our Han people to the Tubo people, so that they can feel the prosperity and civilization of our Han people! After a long time, it is very likely that some Tubo tribes will take the initiative to take refuge in our Great Song Dynasty! The Tubo tribes are fighting endlessly, as long as we win over a part of the Tubo tribes, we will have a reason to enter the entire Tubo and completely incorporate Tubo into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty! Yang Zhengdao.

Tibet has a sparse population since ancient times, and after the liberation of Tibet, the population of Tibet was only 2 million, and now the various tribes in Tibet often fight with each other, and the living conditions in ancient times are very difficult, and now there are only 300,000 or 400,000 people in Tibet! Compared to the Han people, who have a population of tens of millions to close to 100 million, Tibet is nothing to do! Moreover, at this time, Tibet had not yet established a theocratic regime, although many of the Tibetan people believed in Buddhism, but there was no unified sect! In this era, the Potala Palace has already been destroyed in the war, and the Potala Palace in later generations was re-established by Tibetan Buddhism in the 16th century!

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao entered Tubo this time, on the one hand, to carry out the tea and horse exchange market, and on the other hand, to explore the situation in Tubo!

As they walked all the way, they were excited to see the wheat fields rolling!

They all know that this year is a rare harvest year!

"Brother Yang, I'm a little homesick! I haven't been back for six years since I left my hometown. Liang Hao looked at the wheat field in front of him and said with emotion.

"After the Jurchen perishes, we can go back!" Yang Zhengdao.

"Actually, I really want to see how my hometown is now! Hometown should also be a good harvest year, right? Liang Hao said.

The two of them entered Liangzhou City with emotion all the way, and here, they were warmly welcomed by the young people!

After that, the team stayed here for a day and then continued on their way.

From Liangzhou to Lingzhou, from Lingzhou to Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places, there are harvest scenes everywhere, which makes people happy!

On June 20th, they returned to Datong!

Here, the youth of the Datong Production and Construction Corps have already begun to harvest wheat, and countless soldiers have also helped the young people to harvest wheat together, and there is a busy scene everywhere!

When more than 30,000 war horses were brought here, those soldiers saw the war horses and knew that they had bought them from Tibet, and they also cheered!

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao came to the outside of Datong City, and Yue Fei, Yue Yun and others had already greeted them.

"Dashuai!" Yang Zheng, Liang Hao and others hurriedly dismounted and saluted.

Yue Fei nodded, he had already got off the horse, he came to the war horse behind, observed attentively, and looked carefully.

"Dashuai, these are carefully selected horses! This time we brought good tea from Jiangnan, the Tubo people liked it very much, and they took out the best horses in the tribe! They also said that there are as many such teas as you want! Yang Zheng said with a smile.

"Not bad! These horses don't look like they have a very big skeleton, but they must have good stamina! Yue Fei carefully observed for a while and said.

"Yes! Their stamina is much better than that of the Western Horses! Yang Zhengdao.

"It's better for long-distance travel!" Yue Fei said happily.

Yue Yun next to him was also observing the war horse at the moment, and said with a smile: "Marshal, we can have 20,000 more cavalry this year!" The number of our cavalry will be close to 80,000! ”

Yue Fei brought 40,000 cavalry when he came from Yanyun, and later Zhang Xian came over and brought another 20,000 cavalry! Now they have bought war horses from Tubo, plus the war horses collected from all over Western Xia, according to the scale of one person and two horses, they can also form more than 20,000 cavalry! In the era of cold weapons, the role of cavalry far exceeded that of infantry, so Yue Yun was also extremely happy now.

"The two of you go back to rest and rest, and wait until tomorrow morning, you and Yue Yun will go to Yunnei Prefecture together!" Yue Fei walked among the horses for a while before he said.

"Yunneizhou?" Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly.

"Ahh Yue Yun was pleasantly surprised!

"Yunnei Prefecture is an important place in the northwest, you must guard it for me!" Yue Fei said.

This Yunnei Prefecture is an important city of the Liao State, in the west of Datong, probably located in the area of Guyang County, Tuyouqi, Tuzuoqi in Inner Mongolia, Yunnei Prefecture is an important location in the Jin Kingdom and Yuan Dynasty! If you want to attack Datong, you must first attack Yunnei Prefecture! Previously, Yunnei Prefecture was still occupied by the Western Xia people, but at the beginning of this year, Zhang Xian went north, and Yunnei Prefecture had been defeated, but now there are only thousands of troops there, so Yue Fei sent Yue Yun, Yang Zheng, and Liang Hao there this time.
