"Oh?" Wu Yingying said strangely: "It seems that Shuozhou Khitan is still a little interested in me!"

"The commander of the body of ten thousand gold, is the backer of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Wulanzhou, how can he easily wade into danger!" Chase hurriedly stopped.

"Hmph!" Wu Yingying raised his hand to stop Chase from speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Khitan people want to see me so much, what's the harm in going there, and by the way, thank the Shuozhou Khitan for not taking the opportunity to increase the price." His words were painful, and he heard that all the captains were bitter, so that the people of the kingdom who came to the court of Siyi were not as good as a horse for a person.

A month after the price of the transaction with Xiazhou and Shuozhou, Shi Gongda and Yu Furen were thoughtful, worried that the party and the Khitan would sell some old, weak and disabled people who had lost their labor to Lanzhou, and deliberately added the condition that the redeemed Hanmin must have sound limbs, deaf ears and eyes, no more than forty years old, and weigh more than seventy catties. These will be inspected on the spot, and those who fail to meet the requirements will be deducted from the ransom.

Other conditions are okay, whether it is the Khitan or the party nobles, the condition of weighing more than 70 catties is particularly headache, the Geyin Han slaves are treated very poorly in Hudi, the place where they live is not warm, they eat very little, they work completely as livestock, and they are often sick, each of them is skinny, and it is really not easy to find thousands of people who weigh more than 70 catties. With this month's buffer time, the Shuozhou Khitan and Xiazhou party nobles can add some fat to the meals of some slaves with larger skeletons, and strive to make them weigh nearly seventy catties when they are delivered. It is a principle to be fat before buying and selling cattle and sheep.

From then on, the food and treatment given to the Han people who were plundered to Hudi, the Khitan and the party nobles were slightly better than before, because the Han slaves were more valuable than before, and weight was an important measure of price.

Because the redeemed Xiazhou Hanmin had to pass through Fuzhou Zheshi Jie Town, Wu Yingying sent a military envoy to inform the second son of Zhe's family who stayed in Fuzhou Jiezhen in advance.

Zhi Yuqing greatly appreciated Wu Yingying's righteous deeds, not only let the Lanzhou army pass by the road, allowing them to replenish food, grass and water when passing through Fuzhou, but also sent 2,000 Zhijia troops to escort them all the way.

After being appeased by Yuqing, Wu Yingying only sent Shi Gongda to lead two battalions of cavalry, two battalions of foot soldiers, a total of 2,000 soldiers to Xiazhou to welcome back the Han people, while he took two battalions of cavalry, four battalions of foot soldiers, and a baggage battalion to Shuozhou Mayi. Xiao Jiu led three battalions of cavalry, and the three battalions of infantry soldiers stayed in Lanzhou and supported the two routes.

Wu Yingying also sent an envoy to inform Liu Jiye of the redemption of the Han people, asking him to help monitor the movements of the Khitans in Shuozhou.

In October of the third year of Guangyun, it was the time of high horse fat in autumn, Wu Yingying, the commander of the Lanzhou regiment of the Han Dynasty, led the cavalry hussar battalion, the white feather battalion, the infantry Modao battalion, the Jinfan battalion, the horizontal camp, the mountain pulling battalion, and the baggage battalion, a total of 3,500 infantry and cavalry, and set off for Shuozhou Mayi.

Ma Yi has been outside the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, is a famous border pass important place, the terrain is dangerous, according to this 1,300 years ago, Ma Yi Haomin Nie Yi is willing to lure the enemy to death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops here to ambush the Xiongnu Shan Yu, who knows that because of a pavilion chief's defection and failure, since then opened the prelude to the Han and Hun centennial conquest, until the Later Han Dynasty when the Xiongnu were forced to move westward, this to hundreds of years as the unit of time, to tens of thousands of miles as the unit of the grand war epic to draw an end.

Now, the Tang dynasty has been in decline for a hundred years, and the Han army is out of the fortress again, but it is to redeem the compatriots who have been captured by the Hu people. This is full of dangers, nine deaths, and maybe you will be buried in the bones.

All the soldiers who accompanied Wu Yingying on the expedition had solemn faces, and the military households and soldiers and civilians of the entire Lanzhou City were silently watching the army leave on both sides of the street, and some of the military families hid behind the door panel and sobbed silently, wiped away their tears and opened the windows, desperately squeezing out all the smiles, so that their men could rest assured.

In the private room on the second floor of the famous restaurant Taihe Building in Lanzhou City, Hu Shang Kang Qu Dagan looked at the Han army with a complicated expression.

"If there were such heroes in Samarkand, how could they be tarnished by the infidels? His eldest son, Kang Khotan, said on the side, "This time, Yuanguang and the fifty warriors all went out with Wu Yingying, which is quite risky. ”

Kangqu Dagan nodded expressionlessly, the businessman is heavy on profit, and he takes a big risk in order to seek heavy profit, Kangqu Dagan has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and the most admired businessman is the Qin Shi Lu Buwei businessman seeking the country, and when he first saw Wang Sun Yiren, he decided that the strange goods could live, and then he planned in many ways, and finally became the prime minister of Great Qin.

Kangqu Dagan has been doing business in the Central Plains for a long time, traveling among the princes in various places, but he feels that Wu Yingying's department is extraordinary, and the hope of reviving his clan is about to fall on him, so he does not hesitate to bet a lot of money, and also sends the elite children of the clan to Wu Yingying's side to seek trust.

Hearing that Wu Yingying led his troops to leave Jiangnan and did not know where to go, Kang Quda was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and mobilized all the forces at his disposal to inquire about the news, and finally learned that Wu Yingying had arrived in the Han realm safely, so he rushed over non-stop.

During this time, he was not idle, and successively collected more than 4,000 catties of iron from the Khitan, the Western Regions and the sea route, and asked his subordinates to deliver these treasures to Wu Yingying in Xizhou. In order to deter the Tuhun cavalry, which is known as the domineering Tuhun cavalry, Wu Yingying immediately used this batch of iron to build Mo Dao, and finally equipped the Mo Dao Battalion, which had been trained with wooden sticks, before moving to Lanzhou.

Wu Yingying actually personally committed danger for thousands of households, which made Kangqu Dagan very worried, although it was a huge benefit to accumulate the popularity of the world, but the risk of the Khitans directly killing him with heavy troops to seize the ransom was also very great.

Wu Yingxing's army is not much, seeing that it has gone away, the military households on both sides of the street still refuse to leave, bustling behind the army to send, Kang Qu Dagan's eyes looked at the silent surging crowd, he has not seen this scene for a long time, he has an understanding in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Let our people follow behind Wu Yingxing's army far away, if the Khitan people are treacherous, immediately report to Liu Jiye of Daizhou." ”

Kang Ketian nodded and agreed to go down, Kang Qu Dagan turned his head to look out the window again, even the military households who saw him off had already walked away, and the street seemed empty, which was very different from the scene of the Central Plains towns in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

Kaiyuan, that is a very distant era, as far away as Samarkand, Kangqu Dagan smiled a little self-deprecatingly, reached out and picked up the glass cup, and drank the wine as red as blood.

---------------------------------------------

In Shuozhou City, a richly dressed middle-aged man was lazily leaning on the bed of the bearskin beard, he was burly, and his face was full of lazy smiles.

The middle-aged man played with a delicate dagger inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, Loufuguan, Xincheng, Datong Army, and the Lanzhou Army On the road to Mayi, our garrison will be on strict alert, but all generals must restrain the military horses of the headquarters. ”

The voice of these words was not loud, but there was a majesty in it that people did not dare to disobey, and the royal family who went down to Beijing around this Yelu Shilie was also a royal family who went down to Beijing, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, he had to bow his head and say yes on his face, and hurriedly went down to arrange.

"The Central Plains has been swinging for a hundred years, the twilight is deep, and the Khitan is prosperous, like the sun rising. The middle-aged man muttered, "Shi Wu Hero, Wu Hero, I want to see how many catties you have." With a gleam of essence flashing in his eyes, he carefully took the delicate dagger back into his arms, picked up the wolf skin and draped it on his body, and walked away with the waist knife in his hand.

When the tent was empty, the Han maid who was standing had the illusion that the light in the tent had dimmed a little.
