Section 354 Strategy
"Yes! Childe, although you are extremely smart, but the people of the folding family are not stupid, is it just because of your words, their entire family dares to take risks. Hua Xuanyi echoed.
"Ben Gongzi's words naturally don't have such a big effect, but I can design a plan for them!" Cai Dao didn't care about Hua Qianqi and Cai Lanling's words, he said very himself.
"First of all, this time it was they who took the initiative to ask me for advice, and I also pointed out a clear way for them. But, Lanling! Do they have the capital to hoard a lot of food? Even if their family had so much money to buy food, where did they buy food in large quantities? After Zheng Xia takes office, he will definitely implement Sima Guang's foreign policy, he will not only try every means to reduce the food supply to Fuzhou, but also take the initiative to cut off the grain channel for Fuzhou from the outside world. ”
"Hmmm! Yes, when they really got to that step of the field, they could only ask for the lion village! After hearing Cai Dao's words, Hua Xianqi couldn't help but feel a little proud, but he suddenly felt a pain in his feet, and couldn't help but exhale in pain, turned his head to look at Cai Lanling, but suddenly realized that he had just said the wrong thing, so he changed his words and said: "Ah no, this family should be asking for Gongzi here." ”
"What's more, Lanling, you also see that for horses, the thieves are all coveted, how can this family resist the temptation of a large number of horses?" Cai Dao said this, and a tongue licked his lips.
"That's true. Please show the host. The subordinates must be properly arranged. Cai Lanling asked solemnly.
"Please show me!"
"First of all, from the Zhejia and our cottages, recruit some brothers who can speak Khitan and are familiar with the terrain of Mobei, take a small amount of goods, go to the territory of the Tatars, and get in touch with these Tatars, of course, the more tribes contacted, the more the harvest will be. Of course, when contacting these tribes, be sure to choose those tribes that are relatively large, and ask whether these tribes who want to participate in the trade are enemies between each other. Because, once this transaction is known to the mortal enemies of these tribes, they will not only try to destroy this transaction themselves, but will also leak the news to the Tangut people. When the two sides really make a big deal, our side is very dangerous. ”
"So, this way." Cai Daoyou explained his own strategy to Cai Lanling in detail.
The Dharma does not pass on the six ears.
The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, Cai Dao is right, Cai Lanling can write down as much as he can, anyway, he doesn't plan to write to the Zhe family. What's more, Cai Dao's idea is just a big framework, and the specific content, in fact, still has to be supplemented and improved by the old driver of the battlefield. If this is to be carried out according to Cai Dao's strategy, the people sent will definitely be dead.
Not only will you not get the horses you want, but you will also lose a lot of elites to the Zhejia and Lion Village.
Therefore, this matter must be cautious, Cai Dao decided to temporarily send Cai Lanling to the Zhi family, not only to contact the Zhi family, but also to help the people of the Zhi family to check and fill in the gaps. In order to ensure that Cai Dao's plan can be completed perfectly.
Let the Zhejia, the Lion Village, and the Tatars achieve the goal of a win-win situation, if it works well, maybe it will be able to make the border army of the Western Xia Kingdom lose a large number of people.
Of course, that is only the ultimate goal that can only be accomplished in the most perfect state of Cai Dao's plan.
In the end, in Taihang Village, only Bai Xianyong and Zhao Hu, the two owners of the village, were left behind.
Because of the implementation of the plan to help the Zhe family and the Tatars trade horses, You Feixiong was also temporarily transferred to the Zhe family, he used to be the border army of the Hedong Road of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally he knows more about the border affairs, and he himself is strong in martial arts, and he is relatively stable, so he is naturally the best candidate to lead the expedition on the side of the Lion Village.
The Zhe family has to defend Fuzhou, so they don't have a lot of troops to come up with. Cai Dao gave him the right to bring all the minions who could ride horses in the Taihang Eight Mountains, and finally, he mobilized another 1,000 people from Zhongtiao Mountain and Lion Village, which was enough for a team of 3,000 people.
They set out together from the Lion Village, because before they left, they had to escort the most important of the goods traded with the Tatars, and the Tatars were the most prized goods—iron weapons.
Today, Genghis Khan, the god of the Tatars, has not yet been born, and the Tatars are sparsely numbered, numerous tribes, and scattered forces, Cai Dao does not have to worry at all, they will be raised by themselves to devour the tiger.
Du Menghu thief temporarily replaced You Feixiong to guard the cottage over there in Taihang, and Hua Xianqi was not idle, he was responsible for replenishing a large number of strong manpower to the lion village, before, he borrowed a large number of people from the lion village, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of those old brothers, after all, the people who were transferred away also had their people in their hands. The reason why he was able to take away the three thousand elites was also the result of the great help of his old father-in-law and the old village owner.
Now the entire Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain are under the control of Cai Dao, and it is also to repay the kindness of the old owner of the Lion Village. Therefore, in addition to the original team of Taihang Village, Cai Dao divided the remaining elites after the extermination of other cottages into three groups.
A group of those who can ride horses, plus more than 2,000 people who can ride horses in Taihang Village, let You Feixiong take them away.
The second group of about 5,000 people, led by Hua Xianqi himself, returned to the lion village together, which can be regarded as giving his old father-in-law an explanation.
As for the third group, UU Reading Books .et are all those skilled workers in the cottage, whether it is carpenters, blacksmiths, masons, langzhong, or even cooks, Cai Dao summoned all these people to Taihang Village, as for the others, he did not leave a single one.
Other cottages naturally need manpower, in addition to the original people under the owners of each village, the shortage is recruited by these village owners themselves, the more the better, anyway, it doesn't cost money to recruit these bandits, Cai Dao only needs to provide them with sufficient food.
Therefore, those small and medium-sized captains who were assigned to large and small cottages and became the owners of the big villages, not only did they not have any complaints, but they were all full of energy. These people are not stupid, most of the newly recruited minions are poor people who have lost their land nearby, these people have not experienced the influence of the rivers and lakes, and most of them are still relatively simple. On the contrary, a large part of the minions that Cai Dao gave to the lion village were old fritters in the original cottage.
Those who survived their attack, or surrendered, the new owner of the village simply did not expect them to fight for their own cottage, but rather to count on the newly recruited farmers.
However, before Cai Lanling left, Cai Dao arranged another task for him, that is, to leave those who stayed in the Taihang Bacheng Cottage, but if they had children, let these people send their children into the Taoist temple of Taihang Village.
