Chapter 65: The Crow's Trade
readx; Brother Chun didn't expect Li Qing to be so tolerant, and killed six Xiao Hu'er one after another, and there seemed to be no movement on the side of the Xixia people, their camel city was still stationed outside Lanzhou City, and there were still Xiao Hu'er entering and leaving Lanzhou City every day, but this time they all entered Lanzhou in groups. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoΒ€ Top Novel,
It is completely impossible to raid those scattered Horror Beards, and if you have a vigilant heart, as long as you encounter it, it will be a vicious battle.
Brother Chun didn't think that the dozens of horse thieves under his command would be the opponents of the ten Hack Hu'er soldiers, if they charged on the horse, the ten Hack Hu'er would be able to easily wipe out their own small horse thief group without damaging one person.
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain, of course Brother Chun will not be a rigid person, his own team of thieves can't kill Xiao Hu'er, can't he kill the camel riders in Lanzhou City?
His purpose is just to accumulate resentment and anger between Lanzhou City and Camel City, no matter where these anger and resentment come from, as long as they can provoke the two sides to want to fight.
Red Eagle led his subordinates out of Lanzhou City......
Chen Shu stood in the woods, his body surrounded by some withered yellow leaves, and only showed a pair of eyes looking indifferently at the Red Eagle and their murder and robbery.
It doesn't matter whether the Red Eagle killed the Song people or the Xixia people, the only thing Chen Shu cared about was the Red Eagle at this time, they were now pretending to be Xiao Hu'er, and their mouths were also speaking with a thick Western Regions accent, although they couldn't understand what they said, what did it matter, Chen Shu believed that those camel riders couldn't hear clearly, when the robbers killed, everyone just thought about running for their lives, who would care what those people said.
Although the masked robbers wanted to cover their beards, it was very difficult, and the clothes on those people were also half-Chinese, half-Western, and they wanted to cover up outrageously.
The strategy is rudimentary. Red Eagle and these people are also rough in carrying out their tasks, at least he, the front team of the Wusheng Army, does not look down on the chaotic formation of Red Eagle when they charge into formation.
Red Eagle's long knife cut off the head of an old cameleer, and then he reined in his horse, looked at the few camelmen who had already run away, and ordered his subordinates: "Quickly sweep the battlefield and leave no one alive." Retreat after a stick of incense! β
Sixty or so robbers scattered with a bang, picking up the goods left on the ground by the camel riders, giggling and showing off to their companions what they had stolen.
It was a medium-sized caravan, and the sixty-odd camels were now kneeling on the ground, grinding their teeth and watching the humans kill each other.
Red Eagle didn't have time to see what cargo the camel was carrying, and after a whistle, the bandits led the camel back on their journey, and disappeared into the mountains along a path into the mountains, which was the retreat route that Chun Ge'er had designed in advance.
Chen Shu's leather boots stepped on a cloud of dried blood, and the long knife in his hand mercilessly stabbed into a corpse. The body, which was obviously dead, suddenly screamed miserably, struggled twice and finally stopped moving.
With this scream, the other two corpses that fell in the small ditch covered in blood rushed out of the small ditch like rabbits, and ran desperately into the distance, the long knife in Chen Shu's hand was sheathed, and as soon as he raised his hand, the crossbow hanging from his waist was in his hand. Hang the crossbow string once, and a crossbow bolt will shoot out. The crossbow rang out twice, and the two camel riders, who had not escaped a few paces away, fell to the ground again, only this time, they were really dead.
After a lap around the dead battlefield, Chen Shu returned to the woods, sitting under a locust tree that had lost its leaves, wiping the two blood-stained crossbow arrows.
"Head. There were no scouts within three miles of Hu'er, and five camel riders had escaped, and they had returned to Lanzhou City. β
A burly soldier wearing a big Song mandarin duck jacket opened a branch and came to Chen Shu's side and said.
Chen Shu nodded and said, "It's hard work, sit down and drink saliva and rest for a while." β
The burly soldier took the hanging kettle from the branch, took a big sip of water, and said, "A bunch of useless monkey cubs." Learned to rob others, and made a four-like, I saw that you helped those fools wipe their butts, such a group of guys who can't eat enough and can't do anything can really complete the handsome's entrustment? Head, which mother-in-law do you want to take over the command from, we have been in Lanzhou City for more than half a year, and we haven't done anything, and we have to hide like a mouse, and we are about to suffocate to death. β
Chen Shu glanced at the burly soldier and said angrily: "Let that woman take the lead, this is a military order issued by the marshal, you have the courage to try!" β
The burly soldier sat on the root of the tree with a knife and sighed: "Lao Cui they have a good fate, followed Liangtou to the river meander, I heard that the starting point of the marshal when he went north is the river meander, now the old Cui They are beautiful, follow the big marshal to fight the Liao people like the plague chicken, whether it is military merit or capture, it will definitely be able to make a big profit." β
Chen Shu said coldly: "You are very short of money? Or do you feel that it is a loss to follow Lao Tzu? β
Kui Wei's soldier shrunk his neck and smiled: "Head, I've been following you for six years, and I can't say anything about me if I vote for others, I'm not just for you."
Why can Lao Cui go to Hequ, Yuan Datou can go to Yanmen Pass, Lou Sangou can go to Tang County on a dog day, why do we come to this place where birds don't shit, eat mutton all day long, and I can't get rid of the fishy smell on my body, and in another half a year, what is the difference between our brothers and those beards outside? Everyone goes to get credit, but we are the only ones who live aggrieved.
If there is something to do, my old Zhang will never say a word, the problem is that the mother-in-law does not use elite soldiers like our brother, but she just got a few miscellaneous pieces of robbery, and the mother robbed bad things, and there is a mess everywhere, and if it goes on like this, it will anger Xiao Hu'er, and those animals are likely to do the slaughter of the city. β
Chen Shu stuffed the crossbow arrow into the quiver, clapped his hands and said, "Zhang Ting, you have brought so much of the commander's mind from a soldier alone?"
Listen, don't worry about things that shouldn't be in our hands, don't ask, when the general came to Lanzhou to convey the commander's military order, he only said that he wanted us to obey Huang Xiaoman's order, and the rest of the military purposes, and the reason why we came to Lanzhou, the general did not mention a word. β
Zhang Ting said strangely: "This is not the habit of the lord and the marshal to do things, even if he goes to carry out mortal military affairs on weekdays, the marshal clearly says the danger, and then asks the brothers if they are willing to go, what's wrong this time?"
Head, are you sure this is a military order that the Lord himself has delivered? How do I feel that this is the work of a dead soldier? β
Chen Shu's cold face suddenly laughed, and he slapped Zhang Ting on the back of the head and said, "You idiot actually got to the point this time, and let Lao Tzu figure everything out at once." β
Zhang Ting touched the back of his aching head and bared his teeth and asked, "What have you figured out?" β
Chen Shu smiled cruelly: "Get out, this is a secret in the army, you can't know about it at the bottom of the mountain!" β
Zhang Ting laughed and said: "Take Qiu Ba again, you were rejected by people under the excuse of Qiu Ba, and now you are using this matter to teach me a lesson, it's not a shame." β
Chen Shu said with a smile: "That mother-in-law said that Lao Tzu is Qiu Ba and refuses to marry Lao Tzu, don't you know the result?" Lao Tzu married her sister-in-law, she married a sour Ding, I haven't seen her for five or six years, she is poor and goes to my house to borrow food.
If it weren't for the desperation of a woman who was so arrogant at the beginning, she wouldn't have come to my door to borrow food anyway......"
Chen Shu was reluctant to let Zhang Ting ask him what he had figured out, so he had to use his former family affairs to casually lead the topic to other places.
There are no horse thieves around Lanzhou City, this is a consensus reached between the Song Kingdom and the Western Xia, the earliest time there were a group of horse thieves on the Ganliang Road, and this trade route was also the most dangerous trade route in the Great Song Dynasty.
There have been countless heroes of the green forest on Ganliang Road, and if the thief Gai Tianwang on Kongtong Mountain had not been exterminated by Yun Zheng, that guy called Qin Lang might have been able to turn the world upside down with his bewitching wife.
The army combed through the surroundings of Lanzhou City like a comb, not only the side close to the Great Song Dynasty, but even Qin Wangchuan, who was close to the Western Xia side, could not find half of the thieves.
Now it's troublesome, after four or five camel riders covered in blood rushed into Lanzhou City, they attracted everyone to watch.
"Horse thieves?"
These words came out of the mouth of the camel riders and fell on the heads of the rest of the camel riders like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the goods they got from the Hexi Corridor were not much different from killing them if they could not be sent to the Great Song Dynasty to be sold.
The camel riders of the whole city flocked to the Lanzhou Mansion, and several camel riders who had just been robbed beat the drums standing in front of the two yamen with all their might.
The drums shook the sky, but they couldn't prompt the prefect......
The Great Song Dynasty officers in Lanzhou City were as pale as dirt, trembling and hiding in the class rooms on both sides of the public hall, looking at each other.
The prefect Liu Wenchun sat in the back hall sweating like rain, and after the previous prefect was arrested by the criminal officer a year ago, he came to this border city of the Great Song Dynasty.
Liu Wenchun, who was born in a merchant family, was different from other officials in the Great Song Dynasty, when others avoided serving as the prefect of Lanzhou, he stepped forward and voluntarily came here to serve as the prefect of Lanzhou, which was meaningless in the eyes of others.
In one year, the business interests of the Liu family were fully protected in Lanzhou, and it only took one year for the Liu family to quickly become the leading big business on Ganliang Road.
Now, the crisis has finally come, the enemy outside the city is unknown, if it weren't for the family's interests in Lanzhou, he would have fled Lanzhou as soon as possible, in the northwest, the name of the Hacker can stop crying!
As the supreme head of Lanzhou and a big businessman, Liu Wenchun knew about the robbery of camel riders by pretending to be horse thieves at the first time, he didn't care how many camel riders died, he only cared about whether the interests of the Liu family could be fully protected.
"Come on, prepare a generous gift, Liu Fu will go with me to the camel city outside the city."
After thinking about it, Liu Wenchun put down his panic and anxiety, and decided to go to the camp in person and ask them what they were going to do?
The family business that the Liu family had built up in Lanzhou with great difficulty could not be destroyed by war in any case. (To be continued.) )
