God, it's getting colder!

The winter of the seventh year of Xuanhe was very cold, and a light snow ushered in in October.

Because a batch of baggage entered the camp last night, it was busy all night, so that Yu Yin got up a little late in the morning.

Chen, only to open his eyes in a daze, Yuyin got off the bed.

Gao Zemin came in with a basin of clean water and prepared toothbrush and toiletries. Gao Zemin is the son of Gao Shiguang, and he is not too old. Originally, Yuyin didn't plan to let him come over, but Yannu was worried that he would have no one to take care of him alone in the military village, so he insisted on letting Gao Zemin be Yuyin's personal soldier. Looking at Gao Zemin's thin and small figure, Yu Yin was a little unbearable.

"Have you finished counting all the baggage?"

"Back to the big officials, they have all been counted...... This is the list sent by Master Chen in the early hours of the morning, please check it with senior officials. ”

"Early in the morning?"

Yu Yin glanced at Gao Zemin, and when he saw that he was sleepy, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He fell asleep when he was about to fall, and Gao Zemin was not resting at that time...... In other words, this little guy hasn't slept until now.

"Zemin, go and rest, there are still many things to do today, if you don't have the spirit, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

Gao Zemin is a rather stubborn child, if he insists on letting him sleep, he may not agree. So Yu Yin changed his way of saying and drove Gao Zemin to sleep. At this time, another soldier brought breakfast, Yu Yin put on his clothes, and while eating breakfast, he opened the list compiled by Chen Dong and read it quickly at a glance......

God knows why the imperial court hoarded so many burdens in the camel gang, which was nearly 5,000 stone of grain and grass.

But it was a little surprising to Yuyin. Or the thirty war horses that were sent with these 5,000 stones...... Horses were a rare thing in the Great Song Dynasty. Thirty horses, if put on the market, are also amazingly expensive, let alone war horses.

After breakfast, Yuyin dressed up and went straight to the stable in the camp.

Ji Qing and He Yuanqing were taking people to patrol the camp. Seeing Yu Yin, he hurriedly stepped forward and sang a fat song.

"What's going on with these horses?"

Yu Yin pointed to the thirty horses in the stable and asked suspiciously.

Because it was in the list submitted earlier. There are no such thirty horses. Now that there are suddenly thirty more horses, it naturally arouses Yu Yin's curiosity. Da Song lacked horses, and he Yuyin also lacked horses...... The whole barracks. In addition to Pang Wanchun's Black Flag Arrow Team, there were only fifty-four war horses, including Yu Yin's dark gold and two Wang Chase.

If so, why not take the thirty horses down?

Yu Yin was a little moved, after all, there were too few pro-army horses under his command.

He Yuanqing said: "When I was counting, I heard that this Lao Shizi was the horse of Du Gongmei, the governor of Cangzhou, and it seemed that it was going to be temporarily stored here, ready to be taken away by Du Gongmei at the end of the year...... The straight lady thief regarded this military camp as his family's back house. ”

Du Gongmei?

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then woke up.

He knows Du Gongmei. His real name is Du Chong, he is a Jinshi and the first born in the Shengsheng period of Zhezong, and he has been relocated to Gonglang and Guanglu Shaoqing, and at the beginning of the year, he was in addition to Cangzhou Zhizhou. This person belongs to the East Palace line. It is said that he walked very close to the crown prince Zhao Huan.

Speaking of Yuyin, he also belongs to the East Palace family.

It's just that the relationship between him and Donggong is not very good, so he doesn't have much contact on weekdays.

But this did not prevent him from hearing of Du Chong, who was his uncle Huang Shang, who also mentioned this person. However, the words are quite disdainful. What really made Yu Yin keep Du Chong in mind was an accident that occurred at the beginning of the year. Because Cangzhou is adjacent to the sixteen states of Yanyun, there are many Han people who fled from Yanyun and live here. After Du Chong took office, he slaughtered more than 3,000 people in Cangzhou within a month under the pretext that Yanyun's people had many thieves and thieves.

If it's just a massacre, that's it.

Later, Du Chong went to the imperial court, saying that he had found many thieves and spies in Cangzhou and asked the court for credit.

Every time Huang Shang mentioned this, he was excited.

"Du Gongmei is really a national thief, as soon as this case is opened, there will be no peaceful day in Hebei." …,

Yu Yin was also very shocked when he heard about it at the time, and only felt that Du Gongmei was too despicable and cruel.

It's a pity that his status is humble, and no one will pay attention to what he says.

Yu Yin took the list in his hand and looked at it again, and suddenly asked, "Are there these thirty horses in the list that was sent?" ”

"There's no registration on it."

"Yuan Qing went to find Thirteen Lang, and by the way, he called Master Chen, and said that I took these thirty horses."

"Huh?"

"I still lack horses at home, and someone just sent them, how can I let them go?

Tomorrow, thirty more men who are proficient in horsemanship will be selected from the army and joined into the horse army...... Yuan Qing and Thirteen Lang will lead the horse army. ”

When He Yuanqing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

I saw the high-pet commander Ma Jun before, what a scenery it was, and I was already envious in my heart. It's just that he also knows that there are so many horses in the camp, and there are only fifty horses in the army, so he can't have the opportunity to lead the horse army. But now, with the addition of thirty horses, it is equal to eighty horses. When the time comes, he can lead forty people with Gao Pet alone.

Ji Qing couldn't help but say, "Childe, is it so suitable?" ”

"What's not suitable, if you don't eat the fat that is delivered to your door, won't you be laughed at?"

Yu Yin smiled and turned to leave.

The reason for this decision was that he had his own plans.

Du Chong Du Gongmei is quite famous in history. Not a good reputation, though...... This guy is a staunch capitulationist, cruel internally and groveling externally. Historically, after Zong Ze's death, Du Chong served as the guard in Tokyo, regardless of everyone's opposition, dispersed the rebels, abandoned Kaifeng, and lost the northern land of the Great Song Dynasty.

After that, he also served as the prime minister during the Gaozong period, guarding Jiankang.

When the Jin soldiers came, this person had surrendered to the Jin people, and he could be described as an out-and-out traitor.

Sometimes Yu Yin feels strange, how can such a character gain a firm foothold in the court? If Wang Anshi hadn't started to change the law a few decades earlier, this kind of villain would not have a foothold at all. Whenever he thought of this, Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Now Du Chong sent a war horse. There was no reason why he should not take it.

As for Du Chong coming to the door to ask for it in the future, Yuyin will also turn his face and deny it...... Everyone belongs to the East Palace, and there is the imperial grandson standing behind me. Even if you hack your thirty horses, what can you Du Gongmei do to me? Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid!

Thinking of this, Yu Yin's mood suddenly improved a lot.

How could he not be happy if he had thirty horses for nothing? Wait for the high pet to come over. He explained his thoughts to his high pets...... The horse army was expanded to 80 people, and Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing each led 40 horse troops, serving as Yuyin's left and right pro-army horse army.

Gao pet has no opinion!

In his opinion. There is no difference between fifty and forty; But He Yuanqing was very happy that he was finally able to lead the army alone...... At this time, Du Chong was still in Cangzhou. Naturally, it was impossible to know that the thirty good horses that he had painstakingly found and were going to sacrifice to the crown prince Zhao Huan had been swallowed up by Yu Yin. However, even if he knew, Yu Yin wouldn't care too much.

Du Chong's thirty good horses seem to have brought a lot of good luck to Yuyin.

Within a few days, Hangzhou Li Dayin sent someone to inform him that the things that Yuyin asked him to prepare before had been prepared. Ready to ship. Yuyin was also a little anxious, seeing that it was about to end the year, and he didn't know what Zhang Zeduan's side was doing. It is best to pave this trade road before the end of the year. Otherwise, in the coming year, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult.

Next year...... It's Jingkang!

On this day, Yuyin returned to his home in Kaifeng.

Yan Nu took Yuru and Yang Jinlian to inspect the Yuyan Dental Shop, so they were not at home.

And An Daoquan was invited by Ling Zhen to go to the imperial camp to eat wine. So much so that when Yuyin went home. Except for Gao Niangzi and Rui Hongnu, there was no one at home. Huang Xiaoqi went to the northwest with Zhang Zeduan, and he couldn't come back for a while. As a result, there are fewer people to take care of the butcher shop, so Gao Shiguang spends most of his time working on Mahang Street. …,

Yuyin went upstairs and came to the study.

There was nothing to do, so he was ready to go out to buy some gifts and visit Huang Sheng at Guanqiao Academy.

A few days ago, Yan Nu told him that his uncle had been in some discomfort recently, and asked him to take the time to go over and have a look. Huang Shang's age is not young, and the weather is cold this year, especially compared to previous years, so he is naturally a little uncomfortable. It's just that the affairs in Yuyin's camp were busy two days ago, and he went out and went in, and he was nervous every day, and he couldn't spare time.

There happened to be nothing to do today, so Yu Yin was ready to go over to visit.

So, he changed into a shirt, came down from upstairs, and was about to go out, but he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Dare to ask, this is the Jade Command Mansion?" ”

"Which one?"

Mrs. Gao happened to be cleaning the courtyard at the door, and when she heard the sound, she walked over and opened the courtyard door.

"This is the home of the jade commander, dare to ask who called."

The person outside the door, with some Taiyuan accents, said, "My family is from the northwest, and the jade commander can be at home?" ”

Listen to the sound, something familiar.

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the hall, stood on the porch and said, "Gao Niangzi, which one is looking for me?" ”

"Brother Xiao Yi is not developed, so he doesn't know the old people of Kedun City back then?"

Before Yu Yin's voice fell, he saw a young man in a black robe and a square scarf walking in from the outside.

Look at this person's head, about 180 centimeters, with a long mustache and a spirit on his face.

Yu Yin narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he shouted in surprise: "Brother resentful, but are you...... Haha, it's really you! ”

The man at the door, Yu Yin is no stranger.

In fact, when he said the old man of Kedun City, Yu Yin had already guessed the identity of the other party.

Ren Resentment, the Han who was taken in by Ren's husband in Taiyuan, and then escorted Yu Liyan all the way to Kedun City with Yu Yin, and fought side by side with Yu Yin, and pushed Yu Liyan to the position of the queen of the Mandate of Heaven in Western Liao. Yu Yin was pleasantly surprised, ran over after three steps and two steps, and grabbed Ren Yan's hand, "Brother Yan, why are you here?" When will I arrive? ”

"I got the news of Xiao Yi, so I hurried over."

Ren Ren smiled thickly, and his words were a little quiet.

When Yu Yin heard this, he immediately understood the reason, took Ren Yan's hand and walked into the house, and said to Gao Niangzi as he walked: "Gao Niangzi took the red slave out for a walk, and by the way, I will buy some wine and food and come back, I want to get drunk with Brother Resent." ”

The implication is: I'm going to get down to business. Don't bother.

How could Gao Niangzi not hear the meaning of these words, she hurriedly agreed, and led Rui Hongnu out of the house.

And Yu Yin led Ren Resentment and went up to the second floor.

sat down in the study and poured a cup of hot water for Ren Yan, "Brother Resentment, is this always good?" ”

Ren grudged and said, "It's not bad." It's just that the king misses Xiao Yi a lot, and he has long wanted me to come to visit, but he is afraid that he will delay Xiao Yi's affairs. That's why I didn't come over. This time he got Xiaoyi's news, and the king was very happy...... No, let me come over and meet Xiao Yi immediately. I just don't want Xiao Yi to come now. has been the commander of the old Zhao family. ”

Yu Yin could hear that there was some dissatisfaction in Ren Ren's words.

When he was in Kedun City, Yu Liyan kept him, hoping that he could stay in Mobei.

But in the end, he didn't stay, and quietly left with a touch of clouds, and took away a girl's lovesickness.

When Yu Liyan was mentioned, the tall and stubborn girl seemed to appear in front of her again, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. After a long time, Yu Yin said softly: "Yanzi her, okay?" ”

"When I first entered Xizhou, it wasn't going well.

However, later he had to be instructed by Xiao Yi and joined the same sect of Balasayan. It's a lot smoother...... In addition, with the help of Prince Renxiao and the Huangtou Hui reinforcements, we were able to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou. ”

What Ren complained about was an understatement, but Yuyin could feel the hardships hidden in that understatement.

I want to be at the beginning. Yu Liyan relied on more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to enter Xizhou, with no food and grass, and no reinforcements. But she suffered her daughter's family, and she was burdened with such a heavy responsibility for no reason, how could she have worked hard. …,

"In the middle of last month, Mr. Zhang came to my house and brought Xiao Yi's token.

When the king learned about it, he was very excited, so he immediately asked me to come to Kaifeng to meet Xiao Yi...... There is a sentence in the king that I want Xiao Yi to know: If you meet for the first time in life, no matter what Xiao Yi is, it is the jade Xiao Yi who helped us in Kedun City. ”

Yu Yin's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

But he immediately took a deep breath and said softly: "Please also complain about my brother's reply, and say that Xiao Yi has not changed." ”

The two talked and drank water.

Yu Yin sat at the window and could clearly see all the movements in Guanyin Lane.

"What's going on in the West State right now?"

"It's not very good......," Ren said with a bitter smile, "Now the Uighurs in Xizhou are no longer to worry about, but after the great war, there are many troubles. As you know, Xizhou is already short of food, and with several wars at the beginning of the year, there is almost no harvest.

Although Prince Renxiao gave a lot of help, it was also a drop in the bucket.

After all, Western Xia is not very rich, and there is a drought in many places this year, which is also a barely maintained situation...... Fortunately, Xiao Yi sent a large number of jewels last year, which can be regarded as alleviating our embarrassment. This time Xiao Yi sent a letter and wanted to open the Xizhou trade route, of course the king was very happy...... It's just that I don't know, what kind of deal can Xiao Yi make with Xizhou? ”

It seems that the situation in Xizhou is really not optimistic.

Otherwise, Ren Resentment would not be such a tone, and there were many expectations on his face.

"Brother Resent, I have contacted the two major merchants in the north and south, and I am also trying to dredge the northwest trade route...... Here's a list of the goods I asked them to prepare, and now they're ready. It's just that these people, after all, are businessmen, and if there is no huge profit, they may not be very risky to go to Xizhou...... But I don't know, what can you give them? ”

Yu Yin handed the list of goods prepared by Li Dayin to Ren Yan.

Ren Yan only glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up......

Food, ordnance?

This is the most needed commodity in Western Liao...... Especially food, Yu Liyan is having a headache about this matter. As for the ordnance, the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty have always been excellent. Weapons such as the Divine Arm Bow and the Foot Man Armor are famous. And the firearms of the Song army have always been coveted by the Liao people. In this list, tens of thousands of Thunderbolt rockets are even included, which surprises Ren Ren.

Originally, I thought that Yu Yin was just a commander, and he didn't have much energy.

Who would have thought......

Ren Yan suddenly felt that his understanding of Yu Yin was too little! In fact, it's not a little, it's just that Yu Yin is running too fast, and the hidden energy behind him is not noticed by anyone at all, and it is impossible for Ren Resentment to know.

After reading the list, Ren Ren also took out a list from his arms.

There are all kinds of Western Regions specialties, jade, spices, wine and other items...... Because Xizhou just blocks the road from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, Xizhou has now become the hub of the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

"Western Xia Iron Armor?"

Yu Yin's eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed.

"These iron armors are specially designed for the armor of the Western Xia Iron Harrier...... I know that the old Zhao family has excellent armor, but compared to these iron armors, it is still a little worse. ”

"It's just iron armor, it's a little thin."

"What do you mean by that?"

Yu Yin raised his head, looked at Ren and said with a smile: "Don't you know that Brother Resentment doesn't know that the Great Song Dynasty is the most short of war horses?"

To tell you the truth, looking at the entire Tokyo Forbidden Army, there are no more than 10,000 war horses...... The dignified Tokyo Forbidden Army guards the pro-army horse army commander, and the horses under his command are not even enough for a thief. You also know that Song and Jin are now in a confrontation, the Western Regions produce horses, and the Western Prefecture controls several pastures, if you can supply horses, this business will definitely make a big difference. ”

Selling horses into the Central Plains?

Ren Yan hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not up to me, but after I go back, I can discuss it." ”

"There's one more thing......

"Please."

Yu Yin looked at Ren and hesitated.

He didn't know what the reaction would be when he said this.

But if you don't speak, you always feel that you can't be happy. After thinking about it again, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I don't know how the troops are in Xizhou now?" ”

Ren Yan's expression tightened, and he looked at Yu Yin vigilantly.

"Xiao B means ......"

"If possible, I hope that the swallow can go out of Mobei at the right opportunity."

"Do you want to help Lao Zhao's family?"

Yu Yin nodded.

Ren Yan rubbed his cheeks and said with a wry smile: "I can't do anything about this...... If you help Xiaoyi, it's nothing, but you also know that the king hates the old Zhao official's family to the core. If it weren't for the old Zhao official family colluding with the thieves and falling into the ground, my Daliao might not have ended up in today's situation...... Everything else is easy to say, but this is the only thing that I can't say accurately. ”

Yu Yin didn't know how Yu Liyan hated Zhao Ji.

He groaned for a while, and then said softly: "When Brother Resentment goes back, I will bring a word to Yanzi."

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if there is really a change in my Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the next thing is Xixia, which is Xizhou...... At this time, when we put aside grievances and help each other, it is the right to help each other. If Yanzi really wants to revive Daliao, he still needs to open his mind. ”

Ren Yan thought about it and nodded in agreement...... (To be continued) RQ
