0719 Truth

When Colin heard this, he immediately agreed and said, "Honorable Lord Hou, don't worry, we people thank you for your generosity and kindness, we will not resist, you can send someone to take the loot you deserve!" But here's a humble request that I hope you'll grant!"

Liu Haojia said, "Let's hear it."

Colin pleaded, "Please keep as many weapons, leather armor as you can, and enough horses for us!" Otherwise, we will not be able to resist when we are attacked by other tribes, and we may not be able to wait for your messenger to come!"

Liu Haojia thought for a while and said, "Yes, anyway, your scimitars and leather armor are of little use to this candidate."

Colin kowtowed again and again and said, "Thank you, merciful Lord Hou, the Immortal Heaven will bless you! Rest assured, I will send the best herdsmen to contain the scattered cattle, sheep and horses, and what you need will be delivered soon."

Liu Haojia waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up and make arrangements. At the same time, Liu Ren, Guo Zhankui and others also arranged for soldiers to start searching the camp.

It turned out that things were even more weird! The Mongols were very docile and cleared the entire camp under the command of the soldiers. Give away everything that is valuable. The soldiers were given a large amount of gold, silver, jade, furs, and other valuable things. And, of course, a large number of heads!

In fact, this is not a loss for the Mongolian herders, the real loss is the tribal leadership. Only they have enough gold and silver treasures and fine skins. The most wealth that ordinary herders have is cattle and sheep!

And the herdsmen sent out by Colin did carry out his orders conscientiously. It took a short time for the herders to gather the scattered herds of cattle, sheep and horses. And judging by their happy expressions, the loss is not great! So the soldiers picked out the fattest cattle and sheep and the war horses sent by Colin, and set out on the return journey happily.

Moreover, Colin also thoughtfully sent dozens of people to help drive cattle, sheep and horses. So the group, which was much larger than when it came, began to rush back to the camp.

The night of the camp was not closed, and a large group of men and horses were seen returning from afar. The camp was immediately informed after confirming the news. So the whole camp cheered and thundered, and a large number of soldiers ran out to greet the heroes in triumph!

When they went, the soldiers were empty-handed, and when they came back, they were all puffed up and beaming! Because when they came back, their backpacks were full of booty, their carts full of heads, and a large number of cattle and sheep followed, and they couldn't be more proud!

After Liu Haojia arranged all the things, he announced that he would go into the tent to sleep tonight to celebrate. He had been thinking about it for two days in a row, and it had already exhausted him. And the soldiers, naturally, slaughtered cattle and sheep, ate and drank!

The people who went out to fight carried the leg of mutton and boasted endlessly about their exploits. The people guarding the camp held the beef in their hands, listened with relish to the scenes of the battle described by their companions, and poured a sip of wine together when they were happy, and the whole camp was very happy.

The next day, the group set out for the camp, and did not encounter anything on the way. Just as they were still two days away from Zhangjiakou, a cavalry caught up with their group. This cavalryman was Hatch's personal soldier and had sent a letter on Hatch's behalf.

When he was searched and sent to Liu Haojia, after confirming that Liu Haojia was the main master, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "My lord, the head of my family originally wanted to come in person to apologize to the lord, but after the tribe suffered a great disaster, he had to beware of the attacks of the surrounding tribes, so he really couldn't come in person. I hope you will forgive him!"

Liu Haojia said, "Needless to say, what news did Hatch bring you?"

The cavalry said, "The leader asked the villain to tell the nobleman that it was the people of the Zhang family in the northwest who instructed him to attack the nobleman. They provided the exact route and the date of the adult exit. And the people of the Zhang family promised each tribe two hundred pairs of iron armor as a reward."

Liu Haojia was very angry when he heard that he was paid with iron armor! On the one hand, it is because iron tools are forbidden to go out of the customs, especially armor is the top priority! Even in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is forbidden for private individuals to hold armor! And the fact that the other party can promise so many iron armors shows that the other party is strong and has hands and eyes. On the other hand, he is only worth two hundred pairs of iron armor, which is a bit cheap!

But he suppressed his anger and said, "Which Zhang family is the Zhang family in the northwest?"

The cavalry glanced up at him and said, "That's it

It's the Zhang family that came out of the prime minister!"

Liu Haojia knew it in his heart after hearing this, but the faces of the people around him changed a little when he heard this! They all know that the Mongolians don't talk about Ge Lao, they only talk about the prime minister, and the only one who has a prime minister in the family is Zhang Siwei's family!

Moreover, the Zhangjia family in the northwest has been entrenched in the northwest for many years, which can be described as intertwined and extremely powerful! If Zhang Siwei wants to move Liu Haojia, it will be really difficult to guard against! And everyone doesn't understand what is the deep hatred between Zhang Siwei and Liu Haojia, so they use this method!

Liu Haojia thought for a while and said, "How did you get in touch with the people of the Zhang family? You know, the power of the Zhang family is not small!"

The cavalry said, "The Zhang family has a lot of business in the northwest. Among them, there are several caravans that do business with the grassland, and we are also one of the main customers of the Zhangjia caravans, so we are very close."

Liu Haojia immediately understood, and then said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The cavalry said, "Your honor, there is another person who has come with the Zhang family, and this person has never appeared on the grassland. However, the head man said that this person seemed to be on an equal footing with the Zhang family, and he had promised that if anyone could get the head of the nobleman, he would give another two hundred steel knives."

Liu Haojia immediately interrogated this person what his surname was and what he looked like. But as time passed, Hatch was a little unclear. After paraphrasing, it is even more unseemly, and it sounds like an ordinary middle-aged scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Haojia went through the whole matter after repeated inquiries, knowing that this cavalryman could no longer say anything new before sending him away.

After the family took the people out of the tent, Liu Ren stepped forward and said, "Second Young Master, how could this Zhang family suddenly attack us?"

Liu Haojia shook his head and said, "I don't know either! I asked myself if I hadn't offended Zhang Siwei, why did he target me like this?"

The ancients rarely said people's names directly when they called people, because this was no different from swearing. Now Liu Haojia directly said Zhang Siwei's name, which can only show that his anger has reached a certain level.

Guo Zhankui said loudly: "It's better for his subordinates to disguise themselves as horse bandits to attack the Zhang family, take revenge and torture the prisoners, they will definitely be able to ask out!"

Liu Ren immediately said, "Lao Guo, you don't pull the tricks on the rivers and lakes in! What's the use of you attacking the Zhang family? As long as Zhang Siwei is still in the position of the elder, the Zhang family will not be able to fall!"
