Under the spring sun, there is always a feeling of laziness, the willows are beginning to turn green, pale yellow green, and the grass is already full of green from a distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiang Hexing knew that he was about to set off, so he asked Li Xiaowu and Li Xiaoquan to continue training in the mountains, mainly to familiarize themselves with the movements in front, especially the melee swords.

Jiang Hexing and Zhang Jie went back together, called Zhang Kai, Zheng San, Zhao Guang, Li Ming, etc., and held a meeting, explaining that the soldiers had trained and were ready to set off to save people, to see what opinions everyone had and how they were prepared.

Jiang Hexing talked about his own ideas, all pretending to be horse dealers, Zhang Jie as the boss, and others as partners. One person and two riders, to add Li Ming as a guide, bring a blacksmith, a person who knows how to smelt iron, and a healer, these people have been arranged in advance, and they are also trained in horseback riding, although they can't fight, there is no problem in throwing javelins. The team has a total of 50 people, which is not very conspicuous, and people are arranged in advance in Beiping County, and they can rest when they get there, otherwise it will be too hard to go to Liaoxi. In addition, dozens of people carrying weapons are too conspicuous, and our weapons have been upgraded to better ones, and we have to build them on the road. ”

Zheng San said: "According to the master's arrangement, Zheng Yi has been sent over, and the iron has also been pulled in private, and the weapon should be almost built." As you instructed, I have already asked them to buy a boat, and it is not very clear whether they have bought it now. ”

"Okay, then let's travel light, do you have anything else to say? If not, we will rest tomorrow and leave early the day after tomorrow. ”

Zhao Guangdao: "I've been busy preparing logistics grain, grass, and clothes recently, you said last time that I wrote a book, I just wrote half of it, I don't know if the virtuous son-in-law went to Wuhuan, how can I explain this matter, and to whom?" ”

"After I left, Zhang Kai was in charge of everything at home." Jiang Hexing finally explained.

At the end of the meeting, they went home.

Jiang Hexing hadn't been home for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Qingyi running at home, he felt very guilty. came over and hugged her, Zhao Qingyi also knew that he worked so hard, largely because of his own family, so although he couldn't see him, he didn't resent anything.

After the two made love on the kang, Jiang Hexing suddenly thought of something and took out the backpack, in fact, Zhao Qingyi had seen it countless times. But this time, Jiang Hexing cut him with a knife, cut it into pieces, and gave it to her and said, "See if this cloth can be woven?" ”。

"It turns out that this cloth is so thick, I have never seen it, and the yarn seems to be different." Zhao Qingyi took the fabric and looked at it carefully, Jiang Hexing pulled the cloth over and put it on the bedside table. "Take your time in the future, and don't rush to study at this time." Jiang Hexing pulled her into the bed again.

Before leaving, he explained a lot of things to Zhang Kai, the matter of the paper factory, and the sales tried to do it first, and it didn't matter if it had any effect. The furniture factory also helped to keep an eye on it, and the furniture factory was late, and many outsiders had already come to buy it, so Zhang Kai opened two stores in Yangyuan and Daijun to see the effect. On the side of the blast furnace, because they had to go to war to save people, people were all taken away. Temporarily discontinued, because there are not so many things to take care of now.

Finally set off, Zhang Jie was dressed like a big shopkeeper, and the rest of the people were dressed as family members. One person and two horses, unable to make a big movement of two horses, went directly to the official road, and went forward with a horse. Ma Biao and his entourage carried a carriage, which was loaded with a lot of gunpowder raw materials, wrapped so that outsiders could not see it, and they followed behind after a distance of several miles.

There are many big trees on both sides of the pipe, and the branches are vaguely seen spitting green, and everyone is in a good mood. Although it is spring, but at this time in the north, there is no wind and sand, no dust, all the way to the heart, although to go to war, but at this time pretend to be a horse dealer, after all, everyone can not feel the atmosphere. Talking and laughing all the way, when they were tired, people ate dry food, horses fed forage, and slept in their own tents at night. In this way, it took 8 days to arrive at Youbeiping County. To be honest, this is tired, but fortunately, Zheng Yi arranged someone to answer it early.

In the north of Pinggang City, a small village in the middle of nowhere, there are not many people, just right for them to rest.

Jiang Hexing was very relieved to see Zheng Yi busy settling everyone, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zheng Yi, it's hard work, it's not easy for you." ”

"Mr. Jiang, this is nothing, it's just careful." Zheng Yi said lightly.

"Careful, easier said than done. How's the boat going? ”

"Mr. Jiang, there are fishermen's boats here, but there are no big boats. In addition, I heard from fishermen that there is a big river in the north of Pinggang that can lead directly to Wuhuan. It is not possible to transport horses, but it is not a problem to transport grain. Zheng Yi replied.

"Oh, I see, it seems that the ship is not needed for the time being, but it can be prepared for later use. Are our weapons ready? Built well, all in accordance with your drawings and methods. In addition, I bought a lot of iron privately and prepared it for backup. ”

Okay, a lot of iron spears, when we get there, send someone to contact you, and then come back to get it. How many people do you have here?

"Four people, but now with two blacksmiths, it should be six." Zheng Yi replied.

"Oh, okay, you go about your business, I'll rest first." Jiang Hexing is very satisfied with Zheng Yi, no matter how he does things or planning, he is a good hand.

Jiang Hexing returned to the house and saw everyone eating and drinking. Let's relieve the fatigue, I'm about to enter the battlefield, Jiang Hexing drinks a lot, and after a little drink with everyone, I went back to rest.

Take two days off and assign specific tasks again. Zhang Jie and Li Ming pretended to be horse buyers, and took Zhang Jie's small team of people and Ma Biao and a few others, with sabers and small cloud thunder, into Wuhuan. The river line followed, keeping a distance, trying to stay in the dark and not be discovered. Li Xiaowu was in the middle of the contact.

After being assigned, after explaining a few words to Zheng Yi, they went to Wuhuan.

It is not clear what is considered Wuhuan here, the Great Wall is already in tatters, after all, it is an earthen wall, and the wind and rain of more than 200 years have long eroded it to the point that it has no effect. Jiang Hexing They crossed the Great Wall, looked at the endless grassland, and sighed in their hearts, this is actually good farmland, and they can only graze by these Wuhuan people.

They have distanced themselves, but they are not far from each other and can exchange information at any time.

They carried 10 days' worth of dry food, and the journey was peaceful, and they didn't see anyone. That night, the two places merged with one another. Bonfires were lit, dry rations were eaten, and there were people keeping watch as required. Seeing that there was nothing to do all the way, everyone relaxed and gradually fell asleep.

After three days like this, they met all Wuhuan people who were in transition, and there were only a few people, and the two sides looked at each other, but they didn't move. At this time, Jiang Hexing knew that this time was the estrus period of horses valued on the grassland, and he valued it very much at this time, and he would not make any big deals. Jiang Hexing shook his head and sighed how ridiculous his plan was and how flawed it was, but if it came, it would be safe, and it would be clear first. Called Zhang Jie to ask, Zhang Jie smiled, we don't have a choice in time, so the war horses that came this time are all geldings, he either deliberately deceives, or wants to go to the scene at this time no matter what the plan is.

Jiang Hexing didn't blame Zhang Jie, and the two sat around the bonfire and chatted quietly. Quite a few people fell asleep. Looking up at the sky, there are unimaginably many stars, the sound of insects chirping in my ears, and the sound of flowing water in the river are intertwined. After a while, I heard something in the distance in a trance, getting closer and closer.

Zhang Jie pulled Jiang Hexing to stand up, and he shouted: "Get up!" There is a case! ”

Everyone got up, got their weapons and prepared for battle.

Soon the voice could be heard, it was someone shouting "help", and it was a Han Chinese.

Everyone was terrified, not afraid, but in the dark of the night, not knowing the situation.

The man finally came running, not in rags, but naked, with long hair like a madman. Jiang Hexing looked for clothes, put them on his body, found someone to bring hot water and a little dry food, and looked at the way he ate and gobbled up, and didn't dare to let him eat too much.

This man knew that he would not be given food no matter how much he pleaded, and he also knew that these people were good for him, but they were hungry and uncomfortable, and they scratched their hearts and livers. He was given another bowl of water, and everyone saw that no one was following him, so they relaxed and listened to him tell his story. His name is Yang Hong, from Zhuo County, he is a businessman, sold cloth last year, to Youbeiping County, but was plundered by the Wuhuan people, and all the people were snatched back to be slaves. He ran all the way along the river, catching fish when he was hungry, drinking water when he was thirsty, and the last piece of cloth on his body was washed away by the water.

Zhang Jie asked, "Are they far from here?" I saw that they were going east, and I went west along the creek, and I came across you. ”

Jiang Hexing asked very strangely: "Are you not afraid that people will find you when you are so loud just now?" ”

"I really can't stand it, and I see a bonfire again, so take a gamble, there's no way to go anyway." Yang Hong replied.

Jiang Hexing laughed when he heard this: "Sure enough, it is the temperament of a businessman." ”

Yang Hong asked curiously, "What do you do?" Unlike merchants, merchants are not so kind to save people because they will get into trouble with them. Unlike herdsmen, there are no herdsmen like you, not a single woman. Unlike officials, officials don't usually come here, and besides, you're all Han Chinese. It's not like a horse thief, who is much more ruthless than you. ”

After listening to Yang Hong's reasoning, everyone laughed.

Zhang Jie said: "You're right, we're not, the purpose of our coming is people like you, we have family members who were taken away by Wuhuan, so today you are the right person." ”

"That's great, I'll take you to save people, kill all those beasts, and free our slaves." Speaking of this, Yang Hong couldn't control himself a little and cried.

Jiang Hexing asked Yang Hong to rest first, and then make detailed arrangements tomorrow.

The next day, Jiang Hexing made the following arrangements, Yang Hong was the guide, and everyone followed, and began to send spies, forward, left, and right, searching for a range of 5 miles. Try to avoid crowds on the way so as not to attract attention.

Along the way, there are many tribes in transition, the flow of people, vehicles, horses, fortunately, the grassland is sparsely populated, and you can flash through a random wood.

If no one is around, go fast, walk for two days. Yang Hong found the town where he was a slave and began to appear on the road. They visited for a day to find out what was going on with them.

In the evenings they get together to report on the situation and discuss how to rescue the slaves.

Yang Hong first reported: "There are a total of 67 people in this settlement, 32 men, 35 women, and the rest are slaves, I remember more than 30. There seem to be a lot of men who can ride horses and shoot arrows, but at night they are not far away, and they have to take care of each other, and the trouble is that there are sheepdogs, they are very alert, and it is difficult for us to get close. ”

Jiang Hexing thought about it and asked the others if there was any good way, and several of them shook their heads.

"I think so, this little Yiluo is not afraid, after all, we have clouds and thunder in our hands, and it is not good to attack at night, we can't see them clearly, and it is easy to accidentally injure our own people. Tomorrow, at dawn, we will attack, first use cloud thunder, estimate that they will be chaotic, and then we can show our strength. ”

Everyone listened, felt that it was feasible, and began to prepare.

When the day was about to dawn, everyone gathered and set off, led the horses, and quietly approached the campsite of the transfer people. When we arrived at the campsite, everyone got on their horses and began to rush forward. Ma Biao led five people with Yunlei in their hands and walked in front, Li Xiaowu led their team to follow with knives, Zhang Jie on the left, Li Xiaoquan on the right, holding a saber in his hand, and rushed over quickly. The sheepdogs began to bark feverishly, one after another. I saw Ma Biao and others swishing and throwing a few cloud thunders, only hearing a few "dong dong" sounds, and never hearing the sound of explosions in the world, as if a demon descended to the earth, frightened the creatures of the grassland. The sheepdogs no longer dared to pounce forward, but one by one they shivered, and remained there at a loss, sticking out their tongues. Sheep, cows, has been chaotic, scattered and fled, the livestock that had gathered together scattered, on the opposite grassland, through the black smoke blown away, see the cattle and sheep desperately rushing forward, the distant grassland scenery is good, it seems to be contaminated with the breath of fear, and the white clouds in the distance seem to show a frightened appearance.

Before some of the shepherds got up, Zhang Jie and Li Xiaoquan also raised their sabers and rushed in, and the people in the tent heard the movement and came out, one by one their chests were pierced by the sabre, and fell in a pool of blood. They beat their horses forward, and one by one the tents were kicked down by the horses, the sound of puff and puff sounded in their ears, and there was a rainbow on the ground, this is not a battle, this is a massacre, a massacre directed by Jiang Hexing.

Jiang He was a little dizzy, riding on his horse, grasping the reins with both hands, staring blankly at all this, his hands trembling slightly, he knew that this was the fate of those people, who were inferior to beasts, but he still couldn't say how awkward it was. In the nearby tents, no one had time to react, they were like ghosts under bayonets, and they reacted quickly to ride horses, but before they could run, they were stuck on the ground with spears.

After a while, the undead sheepdogs of the ground whined and let out their last wails. The grass was scarlet, and after a while, several squads came slowly, all red on their bodies, and on their horses. Li Xiaowu and Li Xiaoquan's brothers were a little deformed excitedly, and Ma Biao's black face turned red. One by one, it seems that they are very enjoyable, and it is no wonder that Li Xiaowu and them have been aggrieved for too long. Zhang Jie jumped off the horse, his face was pale, he tried his best to restrain himself, kept clenching his teeth, and finally couldn't control his vomiting. With the first one, the sound of vomiting came and went, the blood was mixed with white, and the fishy smell was mixed with a sour smell.

Jiang Hexing didn't get off his horse and talk to them, and as soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, he turned around and went back, leaving a few of them looking at each other.

Even if Jiang Hexing returned to the place where he lived, he still couldn't hold back, and vomited.

After a while, they all came back, Jiang Hexing still beat his spirit, and found someone to control the sheep as soon as possible, this is their future food, and they should treat the brothers well at noon.

They saw that Jiang Hexing's face was extremely ugly, they had never seen him like this, they didn't dare to say anything more, and they did their own things silently.
