The long knife in Chang Zhidi's right hand was raised, and the five hundred horsemen behind him quickly stopped, Bao Yi's words did have a great attraction to him, they raised troops against Liao, if they could get the secret support of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for them, and Chang Zhidi was moved.

"General Changzhidi, if you are willing to meet with my family, please let your men wait in place, and you can bring a hundred men and horses to go!"

Alimu, the deputy general of Chang Zhidi, was a little worried, and reminded Chang Zhidi: "The general can't go, be careful of the other party's fraud, the Song people want to talk, let them come over to talk!" ”

"Alimu, don't worry, we have chased so far, from the hoof prints, it can be judged that the other party only has a hundred horses, and now it is not too much to allow me to take a hundred horses, not to mention that the other party is a Song person, and he should not conspire with the Liao army to deal with us; In any case, this is a rare opportunity for us to come to the Divination Department, and I am determined to give it a try; Okay, Anu will bring a hundred men and horses with me, and Alimu, you will take the rest of the men and horses to wait here, be careful. ”

After Chang Zhidi finished speaking, he galloped out with a hundred men and horses, approaching thirty zhang in front of Yang Yi's array, and shouted arrogantly: "Where is the Song envoy? Since you invited me over, why don't you come forward and answer quickly. ”

Time was pressing, Yang Yi stopped trembling, and took Ma Hanqing out of the crowd and came to the center of the two armies.

Only then did Yang Yi see that the other party was dressed, he was about forty years old, with a square face and a big mouth, braided hair, an extremely majestic figure, and fur on his body.

"General Changzhidi, I am Yang Yi, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, let's put it bluntly, this time I invite General Changzhidi to come over, and I will go up to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides."

"Yang Yi? But Yang Yi, who defeated Xiao Dalin in Nanjing Road? ”

"Since the general of Chang Zhidi has heard the name of this official, it is even better, as far as I know, although your department is in the vast grassland, the Liao army is unable to encircle and suppress for a while, and has won several victories, but your department lacks a foundation, and there is no weapon supply, once the Liao army is mobilized and forms a siege, it is difficult for your department to do anything again, if General Chang Zhidi is willing to cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty, we can provide everything your department needs, including financial support."

Yang Yi smiled and induced earnestly, just like the wolf grandmother who abducted Little Red Riding Hood. Although Chang Zhidi was moved, he said with disdain on his face: "Da Song will be so kind? Even if we are willing to cooperate, our ministry is in Mobei, how can Guogui give us actual support? ”

"General Chang Zhidi, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, for friends, my Great Song has always been generous, as for the concerns of General Chang Zhidi, this official has also thought about it, in the Jiashan area at the junction of Song and Liaoxia, the control of Liaoxia is very weak, and we can trade there."

"Deal? We don't have anything to trade with Da Song. ”

"General Chang Zhidi, let's not be careful, I heard that your department has just plundered the West Road Herding Division, General Chang Zhidi only needs to drive the war horse to come, tea, salt, grain, knives, guns and arrows, what do you need, I will give you what Da Song will give you!"

"We want the Great Song Divine Arm Bow, can the Great Song give it?"

"Your troops gallop on the grassland, all cavalry, and the bow of the divine arm must be wound with stirrups, which is not suitable for cavalry.

Yang Yi said to go, and immediately turned his horse's head with Ma Hanqing, joking, the Divine Arm Bow is the most deterrent and practical weapon of the Song Army's infantry, even when the battle is defeated and retreats, it is stipulated that the soldiers must destroy every component of the Divine Arm Bow to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy, how can it be traded.

"Wait!"

Chang Zhidi shouted, but Yang Yi did not stop, although the two sides are mutually beneficial, but for the Great Song Dynasty, there are actually advantages and disadvantages to cooperating with Chang Zhidi, this matter can be concealed for a while, but it cannot be concealed for a lifetime, once the Liao State learns the truth, it will be annoyed and angry, and it is difficult to say whether it will be angry and brazenly raise troops; …,

Relatively speaking, the Divination Department needs the support of the Great Song Dynasty more, there is a lack of iron on the grassland, and the phenomenon of several herdsmen sharing a broken iron pot is very common, and there are fewer who can build their own weapons, and it is okay to make small fights, but if you want to develop and grow, you can't lack weapon support.

"Bachelor Yang, please stay, because we are not familiar with each other, so we have to keep an eye on it, and please forgive Bachelor Yang, my department is willing to cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty, not only my department, as long as Bachelor Yang speaks counts, I will contact Pai Ya, Fuli, Tongge, Tiger Bone, Puguo and other departments to participate together, not long ago we just broke through the Khitan West, North Road Herd Division, there are tens of thousands of war horses in hand......"

Chang Zhidi shouted loudly while catching up, Yang Yi saw that the fire was coming, so he stopped and said: "General Chang Zhidi, my Great Song Dynasty longs for peace, and I don't want to start a full-scale war with the Liao State, and now I am cooperating with your department, my Great Song Dynasty has taken a huge risk, I hope General Chang Zhidi can understand this." ”

Chang Shidi said with a bit of compliment: "Bachelor Yang said with a smile, Bachelor Yang defeated the Khitan in Nanjing Road, the divine power is invincible, why is the Great Song Dynasty afraid of the Khitan?" By the way, Master Yang, I heard that you use a kind of thunderbolt weapon in Nanjing Road, we don't want the Divine Arm Bow, but this kind of thunderbolt melon will give us some anyway, we are willing to exchange the best war horses, what do you think, Master Yang? ”

Yang Yi's heart moved, so he said: "General Chang Zhidi is really well-informed, to tell you the truth, this kind of thunderbolt melon is very powerful, and this official relied on this kind of thunderbolt to defeat Xiao Dalin, but this kind of thunderbolt melon is expensive to make, it is very difficult to produce, and I don't have much stock in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that I will disappoint General Chang Zhidi." ”

Chang Zhidi's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Yang, we want a divine arm bow, you said it is not suitable for cavalry, I admit it, we want thunderbolt melons, you shirk again, since Master Yang came to us, but there is no trace of sincerity, is this teasing me and waiting?" ”

Yang Yi was puzzled: "It's not that the official is not sincere, it's that the conditions proposed by the general are too harsh, this thunderbolt melon...... All right! I will try my best to persuade His Majesty to provide some thunderbolts to General Changzhidi, but General Changzhidi must be mentally prepared, the number may not be very large, and a good war horse in exchange for one, if you don't want to, then let's forget it! ”

"It's impossible, a good war horse can only be exchanged for one?" Chang Shidi's eyes were as wide as brass bells, and his face was full of disbelief.

"General Chang Zhidi, you can completely not choose Thunderbolt Melon, in fact, I think swords, guns and bows and arrows are more suitable for cavalry combat, in this regard, the Great Song Dynasty can fully meet the requirements of General Chang Zhidi!"

As soon as he heard Yang Yi say this, Chang Zhidi was suspicious, thinking that Yang Yi didn't want to give them the thunderbolt melon, in this world, what you can't get is always the best, Yang Yi wants this effect, the cost of the earth bomb made of black powder is not high, the production is simple, and more importantly, it is a disposable weapon, it is used up, it is over, and it is cost-effective to exchange it for war horses.

"No, no, no, we must have a thunderbolt, but we have to try its power first, and see if the bottom value is worth a war horse."

"Of course, let's do it, General Chang Zhidi will make a list of the materials you need, send someone to Fuzhou, and by the way, set the specific transaction matters, my Great Song will prepare the materials you need in advance, once General Chang Zhidi sends the war horse to the border around Fuzhou, we can trade quickly, why does General Chang Zhidi think?"

"Good! Deal! ”

"It's a deal!"

Chang Shidi didn't expect to have this harvest tonight, and he was extremely happy in his heart, if he wanted to say that they lacked the most, that is, war horses, their tribe had been nomadic for many years, and they had a large number of war horses; …,

Now they have plundered the two major groups of herdsmen in Liao, and have won countless war horses, it can be said that now they have become a burden with so many war horses, this winter, where can there be so much grass for horses to eat! It could not be more cost-effective to exchange it for weapons.

As soon as Chang Zhidi was happy in his heart, he offered to give Yang Yi a ride.

Yang Yi felt a big headache, damn it, we can't leave a moment earlier, so as not to be discovered by the Liao army, it's good to have a long jurisdiction, and we have to give it a ride, do you think this is your backyard?

Yang Yi was persuading, Xiaobai in Qing Niang's arms suddenly howled at this time, although it was only two or three months old, and its voice was not very thick, but the appearance of looking up to the sky and howling was a little mysterious and strange; Soon there were wolf howls one after another, as if they were responding to Xiaobai;

As far as Yang Yi knows, the wolf's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and it is not surprising that the two armies strangled this night, and the strong smell of blood attracted the nearby wolves.

Then as soon as Chang Zhidi saw Xiao Bai in Qing Niang's arms, his eyes suddenly widened, and he turned over and dismounted, his majestic body fell to the ground, and he kowtowed very reverently and prayed.

Only then did Yang Yi notice that the embroidered military flag at the bottom of the long jurisdiction was a huge wolf head, hunting and rolling in the north wind, as if it was ready to pounce and eat people.

In the misty night, Xiaobai in Qing Niang's arms kept howling in the sky, the wolves around him continued to respond, and the Chang Zhidi was so excited that he couldn't be inscribed, under his shouting, all his hundreds of people and horses dismounted, knelt on the snow, and bowed to Xiaobai with great piety, this scene seemed extremely weird and mysterious!

After they finished worshipping, Yang Yi couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to ask the chief jurisdiction, only then did he know the reason, it turned out that there was an ancient legend circulating in the Divination Department, saying that after the Divination Department was the white wolf god, if the snow-white wolf god appeared, it was the messenger sent by the Immortal Heaven, indicating that God blessed the Divination Department! It is a great auspicious time.

Yang Yi looked at Xiao Bai, who was still howling, this shameless guy, the guy who peed on the upper wind, is it really a wolf god?

Yang Yi didn't know what it was like in his heart, he felt ridiculous, and there was some indescribable mystery.

Whether he believes it or not, it is an indisputable fact that Chang Zhidi's attitude towards him has become very respectful.

Under Yang Yi's repeated persuasion, Chang Zhidi left with his subordinates, and the reluctant and reluctant appearance of turning back in three steps made Yang Yi almost goosebumps.

After dawn, Yang Yi finally waited for Mo Sang, and this person was really responsible, overnight, more than half of the five hundred men and horses were lost, and many were injured, but even then he did not give up the responsibility of escorting the mission.

Yang Yi will not pity them, who will make them Liao army? Maybe they will have their share in the Song Realm to fight the grass valley in the past year.

Regarding the dozens of Liao troops led by Tart Ma'an, before Mo Sang asked, Yang Yi asked the first Xingshi to ask for the guilt, saying that these people had left them to flee alone, which was too irresponsible!

Yang Yi scolded and scolded non-stop, how ugly it sounded and how to scold, Mo Sang was full of bad feelings, but he couldn't refute it.

Ma Hanqing and they couldn't stop laughing, what kind of people are these!

After this incident, the speed of Yang Yi and his entourage suddenly accelerated, and they did not enter the Datong Mansion, and went straight to Yanmen Pass.

As soon as he entered the Song realm, Yang Yi immediately rushed to 800 li and urgently reported the transaction with the Divination Department to Tokyo;

For the Great Song Dynasty, this was a deal that had more advantages than disadvantages, which could not only be exchanged for a large number of war horses, but also disrupt the Liao State and make it unable to look south.

As for the pressure from the Liao State, I must bear some of it, but the Liao State has always supported the Western Xia against the Great Song Dynasty, this is an indisputable fact, you can set fire to it and you will not allow me to light the lamp? As long as the Great Song Dynasty was tough enough, the Liao State was helpless, unless the Liao State was willing to give up its support for Western Xia first.

Yang Yi believes that Zhang Dian will not let him down, if he doesn't even have this responsibility, he is not Zhang Dian anymore.

After doing this, Yang Yi can finally breathe a sigh of relief, this time making Liao, several twists and turns, traveling tens of thousands of miles, even Chinese New Year's Eve is spent on the frozen grassland;

Looking back at the bleak place, returning, how many days of wind and rain and how many days of sunshine?
