Chapter 499: Out of Anger

On the main road more than 200 miles southwest of Yanjing, in order to protect the more than 40 carriages, Gao Senqi actually personally approved the soldiers of the 300 Flying Tiger Battalion to disguise themselves as guards. Not for anything else, it's because what they're transporting this time is so important, so important. In addition to the telescopes, the cavalry swords made of stainless steel, some armor, and some obsolete sighting and measuring devices from the main battle troops, there were also the integrated engines and control equipment used in the two Chunnan-made airships. These two sets of things were sold to them on the last day by a person they didn't know before they entered Beiliao. Ren Fengping, who was in charge of this shipment, guessed that the other party was Chunnan's secret spy, and wanted to use this way to allow Beiliao to survive for a while and relieve Chunnan's pressure. Although Chunnan and Dongping are allies, Dongping has risen too fast, and the pressure is too much for people to bear. Although Chunnan has deliberately introduced Dongping's military strength and military system to a point that he feels is acceptable, Dongping's officer corps has returned to China one after another, and Chunnan's army also has airships, ballistas and other equipment, but they still lack the absolute strength to compete with Dongping in these aspects. If Beiliao and Xiling can resist for a few more years, more than ten years, or decades, perhaps Chunnan will be able to rely on their accumulation of financial resources and profound knowledge of various talents to rise bravely...... In the hearts of many people, including Jiang Yan, it is not their profound cultural tradition that hinders the development of Chunnan, but the internal friction of intrigue. But, in any case, some actions still have to be done.

Ren Fengping was also quite surprised that the other party could find himself so accurately, and suddenly understood that now when the troops were exchanged in Beiliao and Dongping, it was becoming more and more difficult to do this border smuggling business. I'm afraid that his own boss has a lot of ambiguity in the background, so he weighed it and turned around and met the young general, asking if he would stop there. After entering the border of Northern Liao, the escort of the Flying Tiger Battalion had already exposed himself, and letting the Flying Tiger Battalion put on makeup was just a cover-up.

But what Ren Fengping didn't expect was that the last and most important order of goods in his imagination went wrong.

The convoy passed through a small village built in the middle of the road, and the village seemed to be fine, except for a few dogs barking in the thick of the night, and then some villagers scolded. The passage of the brigade at night has long been accustomed to these people living near Yanjing. But Enron's passage of this path suitable for ambushes still relieved Ren Fengping's heart. More than ten miles ahead, there is a mountain villa outside Yanjing City where the Western Route Army is specially used to receive smuggled goods. Once there, it's completely safe.

A knight was standing on the side of the road in front of him with a lantern, and when he saw the team coming, he asked loudly, "Is that Mr. Ren?" ”

Ren Fengping rode out of his horse, glanced at the knight who was dressed in the uniform of the villain, but obviously had a military temperament, arched his hand, and said, "It's down." ”

"Master Tao asked me to wait for you, you are almost a day later than scheduled, and everyone is very worried."

"Master Tao?" Ren Fengping pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Which Lord Tao?" ”

"Naturally...... Tao Yexing, Tao Shilang ......" The knight urged the horse to take a few steps closer, so that the lantern could illuminate his face and figure, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Ren, you don't have to come to this set every time, right?" ”

That face was really familiar, and it was indeed someone who had seen it a few times in the villa. Ren Fengping waved his hand, motioned for the convoy to move on, and said with a smile: "The situation is different, it's better to be careful." ”

The Western Route Army itself was engaged in smuggling, and there were many people in the court who knew about it, and the Northern Liao Dynasty also tacitly approved of them. But there are indeed a lot of people who are dissatisfied with them, especially the fact that many goods are sold to the bigwigs of the DPRK and China or the wealthy families and become military expenses, which in the eyes of some people, is tantamount to pumping everyone's blood to cultivate the power of the Western Route Army. And the Western Route Army attaches great importance to their own smuggling, and those people in the DPRK only see that they sell a lot of things that are very expensive, and they did not expect that the Western Route Army does not make a lot of money on this route, and they are very dissatisfied with the fact that they never take money out to share profits with everyone. If there was an opportunity to stumble upon them, they would certainly be. It's not once or twice that this kind of thing has happened.

Ren Fengping and the knight walked side by side, and Ren Fengping asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"The villain Tian Zhonglin, who was originally a colonel of the Ninth Battalion of the West Route Army, was injured a little before he retired...... Fortunately, the major general was willing to take me in. ”

Ren Fengping nodded. The Ninth Battalion has been wiped out, and there are not many survivors, Gao Senqi has always wanted to rebuild the Ninth Battalion, but there are not enough manpower for the time being. All the troops suffered heavy losses, and it was not in the best interests of the Western Route Army to do such a slow thing to achieve results before the other units were replenished. But if there is a chance, presumably officers like Tian Zhonglin will be re-promoted as the team of the new Ninth Battalion. Looking at this Tian Zhonglin's demeanor, he must be at least a deputy general-level figure in the future.

Ren Fengping was a little polite and said, "The situation has not been good recently...... After this business is done, it is difficult to turn back or not. It's getting harder and harder to organize the equipment for the army. ”

Tian Zhonglin was silent. After a while, he grabbed his horse and said to Ren Fengping: "Now there are rumors that the DPRK intends to take goods from the Kong family to enrich the Imperial Forest Army and the Eastern Route Army. ”

Ren Fengping was stunned, then grabbed the horse and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Things in the DPRK and China have always been very complicated, and they, who have been running around outside, have never been able to get first-hand information. And this kind of procurement problem, especially military products, is very likely to represent a certain wind direction in the DPRK and China.

Watching the team pass in front of him, he waited until all the people passed, and the two of them were at the end of the team, Tian Zhonglin said that now a Yunzhou army in the northeast has bypassed those barbarian tribes, and a certain amount of power has been established, and the army is mobilizing things to go north. Now, the DPRK and China obviously feel that this smuggling route of the Western Route Army may not be sufficient for the barbarian Western Route Army, let alone satisfy other troops such as the Eastern Route Army. After the two major defeats and retreats of the Western Route Army, the trust of the DPRK and China in the Western Route Army has decreased a lot, although a large amount of money has been taken out to build a strong army, and the Western Route Army can indeed continue to take the lion's share, but the Eastern Route Army, the Imperial Forest Army, and some local strong armies that have recently been incorporated into the imperial court have been significantly tilted.

Ren Fengping was silent, and only after a while did he ask, "Why do you know?" A flash of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"Because ......," Tian Zhonglin smiled and said, "I'm the one in charge of doing it." ”

An arrow came out of his back accurately and nailed Ren Fengping's neck, and he fell off his horse in an instant. Tian Zhonglin didn't say anything more, turned around and left. It was his task to separate Ren Fengping from the team, although this arrow passed through Ren Fengping's neck, but the person who shot this arrow was Zheluo's junior brother, and now Dongping's second archer, a guy who was temporarily seconded. This arrow can't kill Ren Fengping anyway, he is alive, and he has heard so many things, but it is a good tool for provoking.

The friendly forces attacked the smuggling team without mercy. Because they could not expose the foundation of the Dongping army, the equipment used by these people was all Dongping's "foreign trade products", but the foundation of training and combat experience still made this unit too strong to be like a human being. Those who are familiar with the Yunzhou army may be able to find that it is actually a special battalion that comes here, and it is Dai Mi who leads them. Their troops will be lurking and fighting in Northern Liao for a long time, and they have countless things to do before the frontal battlefield opens. And these militants have long been made to boil by Ye Tao's high hopes, indulgence and trust in them, and they can't wait to solve the entire Northern Liao with one battalion of them. Not to mention this kind of dominant interception, even if they were to go to Yanjing to set fire, they probably wouldn't frown.

Although the fighters of the Flying Tiger Battalion are elite, they are not at all the opponents of the Special Battalion. The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour before it was all over. After the entire smuggling squad was killed, the special battalion quietly left. And less than five minutes after that, Chen Su brought someone to receive the goods. By the next night, the entire batch of goods had been reloaded into another batch of carriages and quietly entered Yanjing.

This is a good breath of evil, Kong Xinhua looked at the carriages in the yard with satisfaction. Naturally, he will not covet these things, but rely on these things to show his heart to Zhang Ci and others. But Chen Su's solemn look made him feel a little bad. "Eldest sister, is there any problem?"

"In the cargo, there are two sets of parts for the airship. Chunnan production. "The special battalion did not inspect the goods, but Chen Su had to do this kind of thing, and when he saw these two sets of things, he immediately felt bad. It's a hot potato. If these two sets of things are handed over, maybe Beiliao will really be able to figure out the principle of the airship and imitate a qualified airship, but if it is not handed over...... The Western Route Army could easily label them as rebels. This thing is so important.

Kong Xinhua didn't hesitate at all, and said: "Hurry up and hand over the post to Zhang Ci, just say that we are in trouble, and immediately send these two sets of things into Zhang Ci's house." ”

Chen Su was shocked: "What? How can this be? ”

Kong Xinhua smiled calmly and said, "Eldest sister, your confidence in Ye Shuai is not as strong as mine." We shot this time, just to vent the gas, remember. Other than that, there must be no flaws. Moreover, what kind of character is Ye Shuai? Not to mention the two sets of airship parts made in Chunnan, they are not as good as those ordinary airships in Dongping, not to mention that Ye Shuai still has a snow owl in his hand, and there are more powerful things in the pen snow owl. Chunnan has been engaged in it for a few years, and they only have this kind of achievement, do you think there are a few years here in Northern Liao? ”

As soon as Kong Xinhua said this, Chen Su immediately came to his senses. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
