It was already evening, and the sun was sinking towards the horizon. Liu pet and the others reined in their horses, and saw that there were only a dozen or so horses left in those chasing behind them.

Touching the horses with my hands, I felt that my hands were wet. The mount had been running all afternoon, and it was also tired at this time. Liu Pet looked at those people who were hungry wolves in the distance, and couldn't help but ask, "Can their horses still withstand it?" ”

The cavalry squad leader was drinking water, and after putting down the gourd, he said, "Mongolian horses are so durable."

Liu Zhong is not a cavalryman, but he thinks that the horses of the Great Song Dynasty can run better than the Mongolian horses. Seeing his expression, the squad leader smiled: "Section Chief Liu wants to grab a few and ask them when their horses are out of strength?" ”

At the beginning, Liu Chongzhen didn't think about fighting back. Now listening to the squad leader's words, Liu Chong's heart moved. He replied, "If you think we won't have any casualties, it's good to ask a few questions." ”

"They have been running on a single horse for so long, and no matter how good a horse is, they can't run. These people still dare to chase, in fact, they are betting that our horses can't run first. Hmph, it's really blind to their dog's eyes. The squad leader said as he unloaded the contents of his other horse.

The cavalry also chased for so long, and without the order of the squad leader, everyone followed one after another. Not long after, seven cavalrymen led by the squad leader rode away. Liu Pet, who was in charge of guarding the horses, just watched. I saw the cavalry of the Song army rushing close to the enemy, who initially wanted to respond with bows and arrows. As a result, he was hid in a stirrup by Song Jun and hidden. At this time, the cavalry approached the enemy and fired with short guns at close range. Hit a few enemies.

The remaining enemies were so frightened that they mounted their horses and fled. Sure enough, as the squad leader expected, the horses were already exhausted. The cavalry of the Song army approached easily from behind, shooting them one by one with short guns.

After another while, the cavalry returned to the starting point with horses and the undead enemy. After being chased by ducks for a long time, everyone finally let out the evil anger in their hearts at this time. First, I asked them what was going on. Several of the injured guys couldn't help but glance at what seemed to be the boss.

Liu Pet went up and gave this guy a big mouth, and then persuaded: "This, at this time, just say what you have to say." ”

As the saying goes, you don't hit someone in the face, and the one who looked at it was angry, and immediately scolded angrily: "Say your mother!" ”

Liu Pet sighed. That's how the North drew his dagger, tugged at the man's bun with his left hand, and pulled his head back, completely exposing his neck. Then cut it with a dagger. The trachea and blood vessels were cut off, and the clothes on the leader's chest were dyed red like a gushing of blood. He may want to scold, he may want to say something, or he may just want to breathe. But at this time, he released everything except making a chicken-like sound.

Moments later, he was in a dying state. Finally, with a violent convulsion, he was completely relieved from this world full of violence.

Liu Pet wiped the dagger on the corpse's clothes, and then asked a few other people like no one else, "Everyone, at this time, just say what you need to say." ”

The men of the north are very straightforward, and the Mongol rule in the past few decades has given them a full understanding of what tyranny is. Seeing that this young man's means were no worse than those of the Mongols, he immediately confessed with interest. Someone immediately rushed to say: "Master, we are Gao Laozhuang." After the locust plague, no one had anything to eat. This made me want to grab the other side of the river. ”

Hearing the robbery, Liu Chong's face changed. The logic is easy to understand. Now that the victims who have no food to eat have government soldiers taking the lead, it is not uncommon for them to have the idea of crossing the border to get some food to eat. However, to understand this logic, Liu Pet can't accept the wishes of these people. If you don't have anything to eat, you run to grab it, should Da Song be robbed here?

Without waiting for Liu Pet to get angry, the squad leader took over, "Didn't you say that you wanted to rob the other side of the river." How to chase us! ”

"We just saw the old guys coming out of Texas. There are so many horses, so I want to get a handful. ”

"Do you know that we are Song Jun?"

"Yes."

Watching those people bow their heads in fear. The squad leader sneered: "Since you know, why do you dare to chase it?" ”

"If it's just us, we wouldn't dare to chase after it. It's not like a lot of people gathered. That's when I dared to chase. ”

first asked about it, and then asked these people separately one by one. The results of the questions were almost the same, that is, these people lied, but everyone did not have time to distinguish in more detail.

"What should I do?" The squad leader asked Liu Pet. Liu Pet has the highest position in the team, so it is natural to ask his opinion. And Liu Chong's initial neat approach did make the squad leader's heart throb a little. If Liu Pet was scolded, he immediately jumped up and punched and kicked that guy. The squad leader's feeling for Liu Pet is that he is a young and vigorous child, and Liu Pet's elegant and decisive thorough disposal really has a shocking effect.

"Take it away." Liu Pet said.

"Why?" The squad leader thought that Liu Chonghui was going to kill these people.

"Let's take these people to Dongying for interrogation. Let's quickly send someone to inform Jinan. Now listening to these people, they are just in series, if we are the only ones to say, Jinan will send people to the north of the Yellow River to investigate. This back and forth consumes too much time. ”

This suggestion was very reasonable, and the squad leader did not object. So I gave the captured wounded a brief treatment, and buried the one who was killed. And they went on on their way.

The next day, the road was quiet, and in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River in Dongying. Sure enough, there is a ferry port secretly managed by the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing a group of cavalry wearing the uniforms of the Song army coming, the person in charge of the ferry was frightened. After checking the documents, the person in charge hurriedly asked, "Is this already a war?" ”

Liu Zhong replied: "There is no war. It's just that I encountered some trouble on the road, so I changed my military uniform to scare the people here. ”

After that, as soon as everyone communicated, the ferry immediately sent people to transport the prisoners across the river first. Although the prisoners were treated for their wounds after being shot, the bumps along the way, and fifty percent of their lives were gone. After crossing the river, they all fainted, and some people even developed a high fever. So he rushed to the hospital.

Liu Pet and the others waited on the north bank of the Yellow River to cross the river first. Liu Pet couldn't help but ask the squad leader, "I don't think the Mongolian horse is as great as it says." Our horses didn't give these Mongolian riders a chance from start to finish. ”

The squad leader explained: "Our horses are fast, but our horses also eat a lot. Do you think those people brought hay? Now they don't even have enough food for themselves, not even soybean meal. These horses are just gnawing on grass, and they can run like this. If our horses were like this, they wouldn't be able to run a long time ago. ”

After listening to this explanation, Liu Pet also felt that it made sense. Mongolian horses can endure very harsh environments, while Song Jun's horses are pampered and will take care of them as long as conditions allow. It is necessary to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, and it is not a matter of horses, but the competition of national strength between the two countries.

Just as Section Chief Liu Chong continued to increase his knowledge, the information he obtained was transmitted to Jinan and then to Hangzhou. The intelligence services felt that the looting of the victims was most likely instigated by the Mongols. So let the Zhao family know. This information is a relatively urgent content, in addition to sending a copy to the Ministry of War, I also have to send a copy to Zhao Guan's family.

When Zhao Jiaren got it, it was evening, and when he was eating, the secretary sent it to Zhao Jiaren. After reading the news, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "Call the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Agriculture." ”

After speaking, Zhao Jiaren continued to eat. At this time, Zhao Jiaren's daughter couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, you are Zhou Gong's spit." ”

"Oh. Have you survived Cao Cao's "Tanka Xing"? Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

"Don't talk while you're eating." Empress Qin, as the hostess, suppressed her unaccustomed actions.

"But ......" Zhao Jiaren's daughter, Zhao Min, still wants to play with her father.

"What do you want to say, some are free after eating." Empress Qin Yuzhen was unceremonious about her daughter's naughtiness.

Zhao Min knew that he couldn't beat his mother, and he knew that he couldn't get his father's support in such things. So I could only eat quietly.

Of course, Zhao Jiaren felt sorry for his daughter. However, Emperor Chuan's tutor was generally praised at the upper level, one of which was Emperor Chuan's wife's decision on her children, and Emperor Sichuan would never overturn it. Qin Yuzhen was born in a wealthy family and received an extremely strict education since she was a child. Although many places look merciless, Zhao Jiaren admits from the bottom of his heart that Qin Yuzhen is much better than Zhao Jiaren than talking about rules and details.

After eating, everyone put away the dishes and chopsticks. This is also where Zhao Jiaren respects Qin Yuzhen very much, that is, they are already a heavenly family, Qin Yuzhen only discussed the family system with Zhao Jiaren once, and then continued to maintain the old model of Zhao Jiaren's family. In other words, there are no chamberlains, and there are no palace maids. The housekeeper was also hired before, and all kinds of basic living expenses are no different from when Zhao Jiaren was an official.

The dolls also have to do household chores. The only thing Zhao Jiaren insisted on was that he could get extra pocket money for doing housework. If you don't work, then honestly take the lowest pocket money. Qin Yuzhen also did not object to this model of linking money and labor.

After Zhao Min brushed the bowl, he ran to get tired of being by his father's side. The two were discussing Cao Cao's poems, and the secretary came to report: "The minister of the Ministry of Agriculture is here." ”

"Yes, please." Zhao Jiaren quickly switched from his father's thinking to the thinking of the official family.

The Minister of Agriculture walked quickly into Zhao Jiaren's living room. The two chatted, and heard that Hebei was hit by a disaster, and as a result, some lawbreakers wanted to run to the south of the Yellow River to loot, and the Minister of Agriculture was furious: "Official, if this really happens, we will send troops." ”

"Oh? Why! ”

The secretary interjected just before the Minister of Agriculture could speak, "Official. Sun Qingshangshu arrived. ”

"Yes, please." Destiny.

Without waiting for Sun Qingshangshu to come in, the chief of staff of the military department also arrived. So the four of them sat down for a meeting. Discuss this interesting incident.
