Tested the true strength of the Song people and their own side, quickly defeated the enemy, no one was killed, and all three goals were achieved, Luo Kaixian was very satisfied with this competition with his subordinates.

There was silence in all directions, and the Lingzhou people were as eerily calm as before, as deep as their stereotypical faces before, and now the Song people were also silent, not only the lively crowds on both sides of the street, but also the Song army team that was bustling and cheering before......

Except for seven or eight broken spear heads, and a dozen puddles of blood mixed with dirt and dust, and a few yellowish teeth that I don't know which unlucky man had dropped...... There were no fighters in the arena before. Towards the opposite side, the war horse began to move again, corresponding to Luo Kaixian's wooden face that was still joyless and sad, the expression on Qin Han's face was not so good, at least it lost the momentum of the previous one.

Why are Lingzhou people so fierce? Their tactics are unheard of, only twenty people fight, but it is refreshing, could it be the legacy of the art of war of the former Tang Dynasty?

If so, why have we never seen such a book ever written before? Not even a rumor of this? If not, does that mean that another unknown force is rising in the Far West? With the other party's penchant for clean appearance, it is obvious that it is not Tibetan, so is it Turkic or Uighur? Or maybe there is even another alien who wants to spy on the East?

The more well-informed a person is, the more likely he is to have more ideas about what he has seen and heard...... Or Qi Nian, Qin Han and his people are the same.

In front of his eyes, everything that the people of Lingzhou presented to him made him uneasy.

From the cold-faced Wei Shilang in front of him to all the Lingzhou people's every move he had seen so far, all of them made him feel a deep sense of strangeness.

Twenty years ago, outside Jinyang City, at that time, Qin Han was only a general under the command of Emperor Guangxiao (Zhao Guangyi), but he also saw similar troops in the array of the Shatuo people of the Later Han Dynasty, but the Later Han Dynasty was finally wiped out by Emperor Guangxiao, and the once brave Shatuo people became a flash in the pan after all, so the initial performance of Luo Kaixian and others, Qin Han did not take it to heart.

However, since the beginning of the competition, Qin Han knew that everything was different, and it was very different.

Even if you ignore the tactics of the Lingzhou people, let's not mention it for the time being, something more crucial...... And where did their equipment come from? The armor worn by each Lingzhou person is obviously a mature product that has been adjusted many times, and from the system and its protective ability, it can be seen that it is not inferior to its own, or it can be said that it is better than its own equipment......

Is that really made only by the descendants of the so-called Anxi Army artisan battalion? Or is there another basis behind the people of Lingzhou?

Inside Qin Han's white head, all kinds of thoughts were like thousands of horses galloping, dangling from his mind one by one, and every thought made him feel terrified.

There is no other reason, the alliance with the Khitans in the north had just been signed the year before, and the Song court had not yet recovered from that war, and now the entire Song Empire needed to recuperate, not fight another continuous war......

Casually looking around at the onlookers on both sides of the street, without careful identification, he could be sure that there must be an innumerable number of neighboring spies standing in the middle, Khitans? Dali's? Or is it a party member? Maybe there are also Qingtang Tubo people?

He couldn't figure it out one by one, but he could be sure that there must be countless so-called vassal states waiting for the Song State to make a mistake!

The world is difficult, what can he, an outlier who does not belong to Jiangmen and is rejected by Confucianism, do?

Old Qin Han raised his hand and rubbed his temples, which began to feel a little swollen, calmed down, and found that his horse was only seven or eight steps away from Luo Kaixian, he hurriedly took the reins, stopped the advance of his mount, stared at Luo and asked: "There are 300,000 troops stationed in the capital, Wei Shilang, you act like this, don't you worry that the army will attack in groups?" ”

Luo Kaixian replied: "The mountain stone is huge, weighing as many thousand catties, and the iron hammer is only dozens of catties, but the two are against each other, after all, the iron hammer anvil crushes the mountain stone, who has ever seen the mountain stone crush the iron hammer?" When the old general speaks like this, does he want to rely on more for victory? ”

Qin Han's face turned red when he was squeezed, "Ahem...... Wei Shiro, this competition...... The old man is willing to gamble and lose, what the Yang family Erlang did, it is really deserved, Your Majesty will go to the old man to close it, plus the old man promised ten thousand gold before...... How do you want to hand over? ”

Although he wondered in his heart how this veteran could become so easy to speak, Luo Kaixian's face did not show any sound, but he understood the truth that people respect me for a foot and I am a foot old, so he arched his hand and replied: "Wanjin is just General Qin's joke, a certain family is not a greedy person, as I said before, Wei only asks for justice for his clansmen, and can work the old general Guan said Emperor Song, Wei is already grateful, and there is no need to worry about the rest......"

"Wei Shilang, you want to trap the old man in injustice!" Qin Han didn't have a beard, but his face instantly turned cold, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "The old man is the main general who commands 100,000 troops, he is a general, faith is the first, and it is only ten thousand gold, how can it be worth the preciousness of the old man's faith?" ”

Luo Kaixian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, secretly saying that this old eunuch's singing and fighting skills are really good, no wonder he can become a general as a eunuch, fortunately, he is not an ignorant and hot-blooded young man, otherwise he will be played around by this kind of old guy.

"This is Wei's mistake, please forgive the old general!" After calming down, Luo said calmly: "Lingzhou, to which Wei belongs, is not short of thousands of gold, a certain family is just a grain purchase officer, if the old general has the heart to promise, he might as well exchange it for autumn grain, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of the younger generation!" ”

"Huh?" Old Qin Han's expression was wooden again, he was born in the mixed army, he has been in the army for many years, relying on the blood of the army with a bit of imperial spirit, plus making good use of the tone of righteousness and thin clouds, I don't know how many heroes have been fooled, but the first time I saw such a method as Luo Kaixian, I really didn't react.

Luo Kaixian was not impatient, just silently waiting for his reply.

It didn't take a moment, just a moment's effort, Qin Han's eyes rolled a few times inadvertently, and he figured it out, although this Wei Shilang was stepping on the steps to enter the court, why didn't he give himself a chance to continue the handover? Moreover, as long as this Wei Shilang did not reject the Song Court because of Yang Erlang's affairs, he did not mess up the errand entrusted by the emperor......

Thinking of this, his face returned to normal, and he responded: "Haha, Wei Shilang is a straightforward person, no matter what, there is still a few days before the New Year's Festival, and within three days, the old man will definitely let people buy ten thousand gold grain and send it to ...... Wei Shilang, you people from Lingzhou, should live in the village on the west bank of the Twenty-Mile Canal in Jingnan? ”

This old guy is a clear-minded old guy in the end, and when he suffers a loss, he immediately uses this kind of 'you are under my control' words to show his strength! Luo Kaixian secretly slandered, but said quietly on his face: "The old general knows that my Lingzhou station, it is to save countless troubles, tomorrow and tomorrow, the Zhuang Yuan will open a port at the mouth of the river to collect grain, and the old general can send someone to send it!" ”

"Open the port to collect grain?" Qin Han frowned, "I don't know how much you want to collect Wei Shilang?" ”

Speaking of business, the coldness on Luo Kaixian's face subsided a lot, and he said calmly: "Wei needs to raise at least one million stones, and there is no limit to more, the general mentioned this matter, could it be that there is grain stored at home for sale?" ”

In Luo Kaixian's view, the previous competition between the two sides is nothing, although their own wins and the other party loses, but victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, their own soldiers have tried their best to keep their hands, although the other party's injuries are not light, but there is a month to recover, except for human life, there is no major matter, even if the other party is the general of the Song State, what can it be? In the later life, there are not too many things about 'life and death on stage, hello and me off the stage'.

Lao Qin obviously couldn't keep up with Luo Kaixian's train of thought, and it took a long time to react to the reason, and replied a little vaguely: "Millions of stone food...... The old man is in the army, and he is alone, not to mention a million stones, it is hundreds of thousands of stones, and it can only be seen when the war starts, how can there be surplus grain to sell to Wei Shiro you? But...... As far as the old man knows, this year's autumn grain harvest is bumper, and the grain is as cheap as grass, which will inevitably hurt the peasants, and the DPRK and China plan to set up a permanent liquidation position to stabilize the grain price, and you Lingzhou will collect grain on a large scale, but it is beneficial to ......."

From this old Qin Han's muttering words, Luo Kaixian heard a lot of doorways within the Song Court, so he didn't intervene, just listened while thinking in his heart.

“…… It is beneficial to the peasants, and it is also good for the dynasty, this is not wartime, the DPRK and China do not limit the sale of food, that is, you Lingzhou bought all the surplus grain in the market, but it doesn't hurt......" Qin Han seemed to be transferred to the commander of the three divisions at this time, and calculated all kinds of gains and losses in a low voice, "However, there is no harmless person in the world, and your Lingzhou large-scale grain collection will definitely damage the income of the large grain merchants, and the large grain merchants will involve many nobles and ......"

What is the purpose of this old Qin saying such things to his face? Luo Kai didn't know first, and he didn't want to delve into it, but the other party said it in a reasonable and clear manner, and it was a lot of benefit for him, an outsider, to be familiar with the context of this era.

“…… Therefore, the old man asserted that your Lingzhou people will be optimistic about the success of the grain collection! After Qin Han said this, his face turned pale, and he continued: "However, it involves millions of stone food, how much more than ten thousand gold? The nobles of the family will definitely not sit idly by, three or five days later, the disturbance will come, why are you relative? ”

What Lao Qin said was intimate, but why did he speak for himself? Luo Kaixian was a little puzzled, so he didn't answer the other party's question, but asked in a deep voice: "Old General Qin is a Song general, and Wei is just a small grain official in Lingzhou, why is there so much care in his words?" ”
