Third, let Hua Qiqi take advantage of the heavy snow to attack the manors and granaries outside the city of some merchants, nobles and clans who are not benevolent to the rich.

Hua Xuanyi didn't need to attack any county seats, state cities and other cities, not only did they not get too many benefits, but it would cause the vigilance of the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and when the time came, they would not face the border army or the box army on Hedong Road, but the more elite forbidden army. I can't say it, under the pressure of the imperial court, the Zhe family will also intervene.

As long as the men and horses of the Lion Village break through these estates, they will get a lot of food and manpower from these places.

Cai Dao naturally won't and disdainfully takes advantage of the lion village's efforts to get this advantage, and Cai Dao won't ask for a dime of everything the lion village gets in the next action. Moreover, when attacking these manors, Cai Dao will also take the initiative to send half of his big hands to assist Hua Xianyi in this operation. After all, some local castles are much stronger than those of some small counties.

In front of Cai Dao's big tube, except for a few cities on the entire Hedong Road, the other city defenses are not much worse than paper.

And Cai Dao's idea for Hua Qianqi to solve the problem of winter heating in Lion Village, the solution is actually in the task arranged for Hua Qianyi.

In ancient times, Cai Dao was not the first to use it for heating.

The land of the Jin Kingdom itself is a huge coal mine, and some of the big families on Hedong Road have a lot of coal mines in their hands, and Cai Dao has asked the Seven Colors to find out before.

Therefore, when Hua Xianqi attacked those manors, he could also take down these coal mines by the way, and the slaves in the manor were good miners, and the original miners were Hua Qiyi's natural allies and the best candidates for coal mine supervisors.

In the midst of this heavy snowstorm, all the Great Song troops chose to paddle on the side.

This naturally also includes the Xiang army on Hedong Road, and when the Lion Village attacked those mining areas in a big way, these strong castles built by the big landlords and big mine owners who used to take care of themselves also became papier-mâché.

Of course, Cai Dao marked out those targets that could be attacked, all of which were businessmen who did not have any Austrian aid in the court or landlords who were rich and unkind, and naturally did not include those real families, such as the Wen Yanbo family in Jiexiu, where there was no shortage of land, industry, and food. However, if Hua Xianqi is really bold enough to poke this hornet's nest, the consequences will be difficult for Cai Dao himself to estimate.

Under the leadership of Hua Xuanyi, the lion village fought a good battle of robbery, and all the leaders and minions in the cottage were all crazy, frantically sweeping the line of the Luliang Mountains, and Cai Dao did not let all the cottages in the Taihang Mountains stop. The heavy snow eventually hindered coal mining, so Cai Dao had to stop the work.

However, he didn't let these bosses and minions in the cottage hide in the cottage.

Now, although it is snowing heavily, after all, this is not the coldest time in winter, so Cai Dao ordered the leaders of each cottage to lead his men and attack quickly. Because this snow came too suddenly, the people of the seven-color collar on Hedong Road were not able to control the situation in the entire states and counties of Hedong Road in such a short period of time. Therefore, Cai Dao's instructions to these leaders are to target them based on the information reported to them by those little minions.

Accidents do not hurt good people, and it is inevitable that they will not be harmed, but after all, they are a minority.

After the incident, Cai Dao also asked the people of the seven-color collar to investigate the operation in detail, and beheaded all the leaders and minions who took revenge for personal reasons and harmed the good in public.

The matter became more and more troublesome, and the news of the looting of merchants and landlords outside the city finally reached Taiyuan Mansion.

However, those troops on Hedong Road are now guarding the city where they are located, and it is white outside, so these soldiers are naturally reluctant to go out and fight with those crazy bandits in the ice and snow.

After Zheng Xia learned the news, he was naturally anxious. He knew that although these merchants or landlords did not have a high status, these people were the foundation of the conservative ruling the local area, and they were also the financial owners of these conservative ministers. Once he loses the support of these people, he will not have any future at all in Hedong Road in the future.

So, Zheng Xia immediately ordered some of the Xiang troops in Taiyuan Mansion to be divided into three parts, two of which immediately went out of the city and marched to encircle and suppress the bandits in the Luliang Mountains and Taihang Mountains.

However, after all, Zhi Kexing is not an ordinary general, and Zheng Xia himself is not an observer of Hedong Road, and the safety of the border is more important than that of the mainland in the final analysis, and this guy is even more desperate.

It had long been expected that Zheng Xia would most likely ask him for help, and after completing the transaction, Zhe Kexing completely blocked the land passages around Fuzhou. Let his men disguise themselves as Tangut people and raid messengers from all directions around Fuzhou.

If it was someone from Bianliang City, of course Zhi Kexing would not make a mistake, he would play a play with his subordinates to save the Qin Cha who sent the letter. However, if it is a letter from Zheng Xia, then let him disappear directly into the hands of the Western Xia people!

Moreover, according to the established plan, after the transaction, the Zheke Xing immediately abandoned some of the less important Panbao on the border, and used the newly acquired 10,000 Mongolian horses to withdraw all the soldiers and supplies there, and then dispersed these people and materials into several very important Panbao. The heavy snow continued to spread, and everyone still hugged together to keep warm.

In doing so, it not only shrinks the defense area, but also reduces the difficulty of material supply. What's more, the movements of these bandits on Hedong Road were very fast, and the heavy snow also concealed the traces of their actions.

Without rescue, some landlords and businessmen close to Taiyuan Mansion immediately abandoned their family business and went straight to Taiyuan Mansion with their wives and children. These people, Zheng Xia naturally couldn't ignore them, and Kaecheng let these people in.

In the snowstorm, Cai Dao stood high on the gatehouse of the Taihang Wall, staring at the leaders and minions who had returned happily, as well as the rich captives behind them, but there was no joy in his heart.

These days, there are fewer and fewer children sent to the mountains, and most of the people on Hedong Road would rather believe in the hard-hearted adults of Bianliang City than sell their children to these bandits. On the one hand, the profession of being a bandit is illegal after all, and more importantly, now that they have a better choice, they will naturally go straight to Bianliang City for a glimmer of hope.

It has been snowing heavily for more than a month, and less than 200 children have been bought in Taihang Village, and even fewer young and middle-aged people have been sent to Tianjin Port through the Song-Liao border passage.

In the final analysis, although the people of Hedong Road suddenly suffered a catastrophe, in their hearts, the credibility of the government is still very high, even if Zheng Xia, who disrupted the situation on Hebei Zhulu, took office on Hedong Road again, they will still choose to believe in the government instead of bandits.

Cai Dao believes that even if he reveals his identity now, the number of people on Hedong Road who come back to join him will not increase much. In the final analysis, it was caused by his young age and low reputation on Hedong Road.

However, Cai Dao will not be discouraged by this, these children who were sent to the mountains, as long as they were trained by themselves in the Yuanyou period, most of them will become the hope of Huaxia in the future, that is, the fire they sowed in the Great Song Dynasty.

A spark can start a prairie fire. Cai Dao just thinks of himself as a person who spreads the fire.

For those landlords, merchants, their families and loyal servants who were attacked and captured, Cai Dao also asked the leader of the cottage to escort them all back.

For the time being, these people can only be kept in the dilapidated houses left over from before the cottage without discrimination, although these dilapidated houses are certainly not too comfortable to live in, and they can be used to ensure their minimum living conditions in winter, which is completely sufficient.
