Chapter 149 The Temptation of Good Horses, Eighth Sister Yang's Bet
Cao Bin felt that he was really wronged, although he was a little self-indulgent, he definitely had no special hobbies.
He feels that he has a big heart and does not have preferences......
As the troops returned one after another, the Song army finally won a great victory, and the Western Xia people fled in a hurry with only more than 1,000 remnants.
At this time, the generals were smiling, and even Yang Zongbao couldn't maintain his previous serious expression, and said with a smile:
"In this battle, we have almost annihilated the most elite troops in Western Xia, and they have already broken their bones."
"Maybe in the next few years, there will be no more wars in the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty."
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered, since the founding of the Western Xia, they have continued to attack the Song Dynasty, and they have never fought such a hearty battle.
Afterwards, Yang Zongbao turned his head to Cao Bin and said, "Uncle Zhongjing, you are the first to make the most of this battle." ”
Cao Bin waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's all the soldiers who work together and fight bravely to kill the enemy, I'm just fighting." ”
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "This time, Benjue will put the merits of the soldiers in the first place in the recital. ”
Yuan Hao and Zhang Yuan both died in his hands, and no one could take away these two credits.
Even if there is more work to break the enemy, it is just icing on the cake, and no more benefits can be obtained.
Since this is the case, there is no need to care about this military merit in front of you.
As the saying goes, if you are good to me, he is also good.
A win-win situation is the last word!
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately had a good impression of Cao Bin.
Jiao Tinggui even shouted: "I used to think that Uncle Cao was a terrible gentleman, and when he was a child, I beat him. ”
As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm here, solemnly apologizing to Uncle Cao." ”
Then he looked at the sedan chair in amazement and said:
"Uncle, this little follower has changed a lot, and the two of you were not my opponent back then, haha......"
Hearing this, Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, looking at this black-faced general deeply, and a sense of familiarity in his bones suddenly hit his heart.
When he first crossed over, he always felt a natural fear of people with black faces.
I thought that the crux of the problem was on Bao Zheng, but I didn't expect it to be the person in front of me.
This person is also a lord of the imperial court, and his father is Yongyi Bo Jiaozan, who was Yang Liulang's right-hand man.
Seeing this, Yang Zongbao hurriedly pulled him up and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
Hearing Jiao Tinggui's words, he couldn't cry or laugh a little, on this occasion, didn't he slap Cao Bin in the face when he said such things?
Cao Bin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I forgot everything I did when I was a child." ”
As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the sedan chair, and the sedan chair suddenly became clear, and his eyes looking at Jiao Tinggui became sinister.
At this moment, a group of soldiers drove hundreds of horses forward and said, "Report to the general, a total of 721 war horses are intact. ”
Yang Zongbao looked at these war horses, his eyes lit up, and he praised again and again:
"Good horse, good horse!"
Seeing him behave like this, Cao Bin felt that the Yang family was a little unproductive, and said a little speechlessly:
"General Yang, why are you so excited? It's just a few horses. ”
Yang Zongbao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Western Xia and the Liao Kingdom have blocked the way for our dynasty to acquire good horses, and such good horses are really rare."
Cao Bin was puzzled:
"Smuggling! As long as the money is given a lot, are you afraid that there will be no good horses to sell? ”
Yang Zongbao was speechless and said:
"Smuggling horses is expensive and scarce, and the imperial court cannot afford it."
Hearing this, Cao Bin also reacted.
Through various channels, Fubo is only able to purchase hundreds of qualified good horses every six months, which is still expensive to death.
Up to now, Cao Bin's accumulation of good horses is not enough for one person and two horses.
It is even less cost-effective for the imperial court, and it is better to spend so much money to build heavy infantry and take the road of riding on foot.
At this time, the mountain came over and said:
"Uncle Cao, these horses are not simple, they are all top war horses cultivated by Yuan Hao after more than ten years."
"Their parents are also among the Western Regions horses and Hequ horses, and even the big food horses, which are the best of the best and carefully selected."
"After so many years, there are only about 20,000 horses in Western Xia, all of which have been used by Yuan Hao to equip iron harriers."
Big Horse Eater?
Hearing this name, Cao Bin was immediately shocked, the Arabian horse is very famous, tall and strong, with excellent endurance.
In later generations, many countries would introduce Arabian horse breeds to improve local horses, and they were the darlings of racetracks.
Yuan Hao was able to get an Arabian horse breed?
Just when Cao Bin was deep in thought, Sister Yang suddenly came over and said:
"Zongbao doesn't care about him, Cao Bin is very rich, how does he know about our difficulties?"
Yang Zongbao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No wonder. ”
Cao Bin ignored Sister Yang and said directly to Yang Zongbao:
"General Yang, do you want to get a few thousand more good horses?"
Yang Zongbao's eyes lit up at first, and then he quickly shook his head and said:
"Uncle Zhongjing doesn't still want to attack Western Xia, right?"
"Don't, we've disobeyed the imperial court's orders."
"If you want to violate the order again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
Cao Bin seduced:
"You don't need to fight, just put on a show, you can get thousands of war horses, and then we will add two to five....... Isn't it beautiful? ”
Yang Zongbao suddenly showed a look of interest and asked, "What is Uncle Zhongjing going to do?" ”
Eighth Sister Yang said: "Cao Bin, don't come nonsense, when the time comes, I won't spare you." ”
Cao Bin saw that Eighth Sister Yang looked unbelieving again, and immediately felt so bored, and said:
"Forget it, count me as troublesome!"
Yang Zongbao had already been tempted by the thousands of good horses, and hurriedly grabbed him and said:
"Uncle Zhongjing, don't care about my sister-in-law, she is still young and ignorant, so why talk about it?"
Hearing this, Sister Yang was so angry that her eyebrows jumped, and she said angrily:
"Yang Zongbao, I am your elder! How dare you speak like that? ”
"Forehead ......"
Yang Zongbao was speechless for a moment.
Cao Bin smiled: "Eighth sister, since you don't believe me, why don't we make a bet?" ”
Eighth Sister Yang snorted angrily: "Bet on it, I don't believe that you can still grab the war horse without fighting." ”
As she spoke, she said viciously: "If you don't succeed, give me a half-year follower." ”
Cao Bin nodded and said, "Okay, if I win, then you will be a bed warmer for me for half a year......"
Before Cao Bin finished speaking, Yang Zongbao's face turned black:
"Uncle Zhongjing!"
Seeing that he looked like he was going to kill, Cao Bin hurriedly changed his words and said with a sneer: "Serve tea and water, serve tea and water!" ”
Seeing that Cao Bin looked like she was winning, Eighth Sister Yang suddenly felt a little cowardly: "Or half a month!" ”
Cao Bin also ignored her and asked, "General Yang, how many of us are there now?" ”
Yang Zongbao said seriously:
"The elite combat power of Western Xia is extremely good, and even in the chaotic situation, it has caused more than 3,000 casualties to our army."
"Now our army is worthy of 9,000 men who can fight."
Cao Bin Chengzhu said in his chest: "Enough! ”
After the reorganization of the army, the troops immediately set off, and when they came to the vicinity of the Hengshan camp, they set up the camp.
Cao Bin said to Yang Zongbao and Yang Bajie: "Two, do you have the courage to go with me before going to the Hengshan camp?" ”
Yang Bajie cut and said:
"You dare to go, what are we not afraid of?"
Cao Bin snapped his fingers and said, "Since that's the case, then Buddha honey!" ”
Eighth Sister Yang muttered, "It's weird. ”
When they came to the front gate of the Hengshan camp, the Xixia soldiers guarding the city suddenly shouted: "The Song people are coming, close the gate quickly." ”
Cao Bin drove forward and shouted:
"Brothers, please go in and report it, and say that Cao Bin has come to visit."
When the Western Xia soldiers heard this, they immediately panicked and said: "He killed the lord of the country......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly ran inside.
I don't know how long later, a team of Western Xia Wenwu appeared on the wall, and they all glared at Cao Bin angrily, with hatred in their eyes, and Queen Wuzang also looked down and said:
"You thief, you dare to come back, what are you going to do?"
Cao Bin smiled:
"Don't hide the mother, don't be angry!"
"I'm about to go back to Da Song, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't said goodbye to you yet, so I came to let me know."
Queen Wuzang was speechless for a moment, I believe you are a ghost, you came with a large army, and it didn't look like saying goodbye, it was obviously ill-intentioned.
At this moment, a military general suddenly scolded angrily below:
"Cao thief, you killed the lord of my family, and I was about to seek revenge on you......"
