So where did Zhao Gou and Qin Hui go? The two of them naturally arrived here at Fang La.

It turned out that after Xie Zhen led 2,000 people out of the city gate quietly, under the cover of many people in front, the special task to be carried out was to hide near the high ground where Zhao Gou watched the battle according to the clues provided by the scouts, looking for an opportunity to hijack Zhao Gou and complete the contract.

When Zhao Gou sent a large number of people from the personal guard battalion to rescue the besieged Song army, the opportunity came. Xie Zhen and the others chose the direction of the wind and put smoke on the mountain.

After a while, Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and the five hundred guards were all confused, and Xie Zhen took two thousand special combat soldiers like a group of dead pigs, three of them were captured one by one, and easily got them back to Xuchang City.

Do you want to ask, why did Zhao Gou climb to watch the battle? Yes, definitely.

As the commander of the three armies, although someone would report the battle to him at any time, he preferred to personally see his army fighting bravely on the battlefield and defeating the enemy.

In addition, changes on the battlefield are often unexpected, so we can personally observe the battle so that we can adjust our tactics in a timely manner and grasp the initiative according to the actual situation on the battlefield.

Watching the battle, of course, it is best to be on the high ground closer to the battlefield. Therefore, in ancient times, when the two armies were fighting, they generally had to choose the high ground and watch the battle.

In fact, Wu Yong's original plan was mainly to capture Zhao Gou and force him to sign a treaty on joint operations to jointly deal with Wang Qing. In order to realize the plan proposed by Zhao Chongyang, independently occupy Huaixi and develop to Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu.

In this way, it can echo with Liu Zhongwu, Zhe Kehe and others in the northwest. At that time, it will be much easier to deal with both the Liao and Jin people.

As for the capture of Qin Hui, it was purely a buy one get one free, an unexpected gain.

But Fang La and Wu Yong knew from Zhao Chongyang that this Qin Hui was a traitorous and evil person, he fornicated with the Jin people, designed to drive Zong Ze and Li Gang out of the court, bewitched Zhao Ji to reduce the soldiers and horses in the Daimyo Mansion, Taiyuan and other places, and drove more than a million refugees to Taihang Mountain.

Therefore, Wu Yong persuaded Fang La to make use of waste and clean up Qin Hui.

Wu Yong said, since he likes to be a spy, we will make him a spy of our Dasheng Kingdom, and let him provide us with the situation of the Jin people and the Song court at any time.

Of course, Wu Yong and Fang La knew that the more traitorous and evil people were, the more difficult it was to deal with.

Therefore, at the beginning, Qin Hui was indifferent to the coercion and temptation of Fang La and Wu, and he was vain, talking about him left and right, or avoiding the important and light.

Later, Fang La let him taste the taste of the muscles and bones for a few seconds, and he finally tasted the salty feeling that life is worse than death, and he is much more honest.

explained the matter of him connecting the Jin State and controlling the Liao State for the Jin people. The matter of forcing Zong Ze to resign and transferring Li Gang to Sichuan has been explained. The secret spies who controlled the north for the Jin people and provided intelligence for the Jin people for a long time were also explained.

The only thing that was not explained was that after the autumn harvest this year, Jin Liao was preparing to go south to the Central Plains and plunder. This shows that even if he faces the threat of death, Qin Hui will not be honest.

Wu Yong asked him to write his crimes in his unique imitation Song script and sign them.

Wu Yong finally told Qin Hui: "As long as you listen to us in the future and provide us with information about the Jin people and the imperial court, then this confession will never be made public, otherwise, once this confession is made public, you and your wife will die without a place to be buried." It has become the target of thousands of people scolding and thousands of people chasing and killing. ”

"The first thing you have to do now is to persuade Zhao Gou to cooperate with us and jointly destroy Wang Qing. Then we want Wang Qing's territory in Huaixi, and the imperial court can take back Luoyang, Xuchang, Dengzhou, and Yuzhou. ”

"The territory we manage, we will not lose the tax of the imperial court, but the imperial court cannot cut off our trade routes, and we will not accept the official position of the imperial court."

"In short, as long as the imperial court does not provoke us, we will never attack Yuhara and threaten the safety of the imperial court. Once you've become one of ours, we'll be in touch with you at any time. ”

"Li Gang, Zhang Shuye, Li Ruoshui, these loyal ministers, you must protect them, if they have problems in the court, they will take your life." Fang La knew that if he didn't ring the alarm bell, Li Gang and the others would be in danger.

After subduing Qin Hui, the negotiations between Xia La, Wu Yong and Zhao Gou went very smoothly. In the end, the parties reached an agreement:

First, the two sides have ceased fighting from now on, and sent people to inform the Song army camp that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the military division are all fine.

Second, the generalissimo of Huaixi, Fang La, led his troops to assist the imperial court in exterminating Wang Qing. After Wang Qing was wiped out, most of Wang Qinghuai's territory was taken over by Fang La, and Luoyang, Dengzhou, Xingyang, and Xuchang were recovered by the imperial court.

Third, the two sides should exchange trade routes along the border, allow people to move freely, and refrain from engaging in hostile relations.

Fourth, the territory managed by Fang La, who still pays full taxes to the imperial court every year.

In order to win the trust of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, Fang La and Wu Yong also took the two to the shooting range where the special combat soldiers practiced muskets to watch the special combat soldiers shoot targets with arquebuses.

He also used an arquebus to shoot the iron armor of the Song army's own soldiers fifty paces away, and all the iron armor was penetrated, proving that the lethality exceeded that of the bow and arrow. Those who have no armor or wear early armor will surely be killed if they are shot once.

Fang La said that if we use such sharp weapons to attack the city, Wang Qing's army will be equal to zero even if it is fully armored, and it will definitely be defeated.

We have tens of thousands of such firearms, and although the shooting speed is not as fast as that of bows and arrows, the lethality of them is much more powerful than that of bows and arrows.

If you want, we will only accept a friendship price of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and we can also send an instructor to train you in musketeers. Remember that muskets only accept gold and silver, not money.

You are allies with the Jinren, and you can also sell them to the Jinren at a high price, and each of them will earn him fifty to one hundred yuan. They have a lot of gold in Liaodong, so they can pay with gold.

Whether it was Zhao Gou or Qin Hui, when they heard that they could also resell it to Jinren, their hearts naturally moved.

Zhao Gou asked Fang La: "Can you discount the tax money you should pay this year into muskets, if you can, all the land taxes this year will be calculated for you for four months, according to the range you delineated, the four A's have about 600,000 yuan in taxes, and the discount is 4,000 muskets." ”

"Can you give it to us first, and help me train a musketeer now. I want the Jin people to take a look at the combat strength of our musketeers, lest they look down on our Great Song army when they recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

Fang La said: "Okay, I can count the guns to you tomorrow, including ammunition." In addition, I will tell you how to make ammunition for free, and you will recruit people to make it yourself in the capital. ”

"Or find someone from the Beijing Wantong Chamber of Commerce to help you make it, and you just need to pay."

At noon, the two sides signed a cooperation treaty. Zhao Gou and Qin Hui returned to the camp with five hundred soldiers from the guards......

This time, Zhao Gou led his troops out for the first time, fought two battles, and lost both battles, and even he and Qin Hui were quietly captured, which made me feel a little angry when I thought about it.

Fortunately, Fang La only wants to occupy the territory to do business and make money, otherwise there is no hope of winning.

Fortunately, after the two sides reached an agreement, they also obtained 4,000 muskets from Fang La, which was their secret weapon, and in order to make money, he actually sold them to me.

"Ha, this is an unusual harvest this time." As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Gou forgot the unhappiness caused by the loss of his soldiers, and his face was full of confident smiles.

On the second day, Wu Yong led people to hand over 4,000 arquebuses and ammunition to the Song army brought by Ren Yuan, and sent 40 special combat soldiers as instructors, each of whom was paid one penny per day.

After the delivery of the guns and ammunition, Wu Yong returned to the Shuai Mansion and said to the other party with a smile: "Zhao Gou must think that he has picked up a treasure, not surprisingly, after he gets the gun, he will definitely find a Jingshi craftsman to make a camp to imitate." ”

Fang La took over the topic and said: "The king wants them to imitate, but they can't pass the production technology of the barrel." ”

"At this time, I think Qin Hui's chess piece can play a role, let him tell Zhao Gou that the ironware shop of the Jingshi of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce can make gun barrels for them."

"Of course, the quality of this barrel is in our hands. If the quality is poor, it won't take long to explode, and when you use it, not only will you not be able to destroy the enemy, but you will also hurt yourself. ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "No wonder, the king wants us to make it clear to Zhao Gou that we can guarantee the quality for their own use, and the quality of the resale to the Jin people may be poor." ”

"Where is this spending money to buy treasures, it is purely selling invisible killers. Clever and clever ......"

Ha...... Ha......

After Wu Yong finished speaking, he and Fang La laughed out loud, and the civilians and guards in the room also laughed.

In fact, not to mention the arquebus, it is a more advanced flintlock pistol, which is already a obsolete product for the army of the Dasheng Dynasty. The arsenal on Xishan Island has manufactured more than 2,000 backyard guns and shipped them to Nanyang to develop overseas territories......
