Taiyuan Province.

Sun Lei smiled and looked at the loot in front of him, war horses, armor, weapons, grain and grass, and the equipment and supplies of the 30,000 Xixia army were all paid.

"Don't be idle, now that you have weapons and armor, train the recruits, since you are in the army, you should have the appearance of being a soldier, I don't want a bastard."

Sun Lei pointed to the weapons and armor and said to everyone, although the quality of the recruits is good, but training is still necessary.

"Brother, Yang Keshi is here!"

Deng Fei came to report.

"Yang Keshi? Is this guy in a panic? Want to be a captive again? ”

Sun Lei asked.

"No, he came alone, and he didn't bring any soldiers and horses!"

Deng Fei said.

"Bring him in!"

Sun Lei nodded, it's good that he didn't bring the soldiers here, he came to discuss something, and the soldiers who used the knife hurt and were angry.

"General Yang, I heard that you defeated Tian Hu, congratulations, you should be attacking Qinyuan now, why are you so idle, you have time to come to my door?"

Sun Lei looked at Yang Keshi with a smile.

"Chong Shuai wants to meet Leader Sun, this is a post!"

Yang Keshi didn't care what Sun Lei said, and sent the invitation directly.

"For Liu Fa?"

Sun Lei looked at the post and said with a smile, the seed master Dao actually took the initiative to post it, and he couldn't think of any other reason except Liu Fa.

"Leader Sun will know when he goes."

Yang Keshi hugged his fists and left.

The next day, Sun Lei took Lu Zhishen and Wu Song to the south of Taiyuan Mansion thirty miles away.

"Old general, meet again!"

Sun Lei smiled and looked at the seed master not far away.

The face of the seed master was complicated, but he still hugged his fists and saluted.

"Old general, let's get straight to the point, just say something directly."

Sun Lei saw that the seed master wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that it was a little uncomfortable for this veteran to talk to a thief like himself.

"Xixia put forward a condition to exchange Liu Fa for Li Liangfu!"

Seed Master Dao sighed and said, at this moment he felt very uncomfortable, they were dignified that the Western Army actually needed to ask for a "thief".

"Li Liangfu is the meat ticket I caught!"

Sun Lei emphasized that he did not belong to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Li Liangfu could not return it like this.

"You can make conditions!"

Seed Master Dao seems to have expected Sun Lei to say this.

"The condition I gave to Xixia was 100,000 war horses!"

Sun Lei said.

"Impossible, no matter how much Li Qianshun takes a fancy to Li Liangfu, it is impossible to produce 100,000 war horses!"

The seed master Dao immediately opened his mouth and said, Sun Lei This is a lion's big mouth, and the Xixia people will definitely not agree.

"I didn't say that I couldn't bargain, since it's a sale, I'll make a bid, and of course I will allow them to make a counteroffer!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

He has learned about Li Liangfu's situation, the current emperor of Western Xia, Li Qianshun, succeeded to the throne at the age of three, and the power of the court has been controlled by the harem and relatives, more than ten years ago, Li Qianshun finally contacted a group of courtiers and nobles to destroy relatives, killed the Empress Dowager Liang, and officially controlled the power of Western Xia.

And these courtiers and nobles are the most loyal to Li Qianshun, and the most fierce one is Li Liangfu, it can be said that Li Liangfu is Li Qianshun's most trusted general, this is Li Liangfu's value.

"In this way, you let the Western Army open an opening, and I will talk to the Xixia people!"

Sun Lei looked at the seed master and said that since he destroyed the Western Xia army, the Western army has stepped up the border defense to prevent the Western Xia people from sneaking into the border again.

"You want to talk to the Tanguts themselves?"

Seed Master Dao frowned and looked at Sun Lei.

"At first glance, you know that you can't do business, of course, this deal must be negotiated in person, otherwise how can you ensure that your interests are maximized?"

Sun Lei was speechless, the farmer is an old stubborn, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, how can he do business without talking? Are you waiting for the Tangut people to send money?

"Where do you want to make an opening?"

Seed Master Dao looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"It's okay near Yinzhou."

Sun Lei said directly.

"Yinzhou?"

The eyes of the planter are slightly narrowed.

Yinzhou is an important town in the southeast of Western Xia, located at the junction of the Suide Army and the Jinning Army, and the Suide Army belongs to the Yongxing Military Road, the Jinning Army belongs to the Hedong Road, and the main army of the Hedong Road is the Hedong Border Army, and the Western Army is mainly in the Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road.

"Is this a fear of sneak attack from behind?"

Seed Master Dao looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the heart of defense is indispensable! Besides, isn't that place close! ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Don't you have the heart to hurt others?"

The seed master looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Haha, old general, I'm a thief who falls into the grass! Isn't it right to harm others? Don't you think I'm a bad person? ”

Sun Lei laughed.

"I can only let the Suide army let go of the defense along the line, and the Jinning army is not something I can order."

The seed master said, he knew that he would not be able to take advantage of the verbal confrontation with Sun Lei.

Tong Guan told the court that Liu Fa did not listen to military orders and marched privately, which led to the defeat and capture, and did not allow the seed master to send troops to rescue, and now the primary goal is to exterminate Tian Hu.

The master did not dare to disobey the military order, but everyone in the Western Army was worried about Liu Fa's safety, and no one could bear to see death without saving him for more than ten years.

"That's enough, I'll just get it for Jin Ningjun!"

Sun Lei smiled and led people away.

"Chong Shuai, do we really count on this Sun Lei?"

Yang Kebi looked at the Seed Master Dao and asked in a low voice.

"Tong Guan doesn't allow me to wait for a war with Western Xia, this is also a helpless way!"

The planter shook his head and said.

"It's obviously a child's order, why is the responsibility put on Liu Fa?"

Yang Kebi's face was resentful, Tong Guan was like this every time, commanding indiscriminately, ignoring the safety of the soldiers of the Western Army, taking credit for himself, and pushing his subordinates when something happened.

"Be careful!"

The seed master snorted and led the people to Fenyang, they could only obey the military order.

"Kind of handsome, it's not that I have a grudge, who in the whole army is not dissatisfied with Tong Xiang's practice!"

Yang Kebi said.

"Let's kill Tian Hu first!"

Seed Master Dao sighed, he also knows these situations, the casualties of the Western Army in the Hundred Battles have been getting bigger and bigger since Tong Guan took over, and now many old faces are gone, this time Tong Guan did not save Liu Fa, the Western Army has a lot of opinions, and I am afraid that the army will be discouraged for a long time, everyone is in danger, and the combat power is not there.

……

"Brother, are we really going to change people?"

Deng Fei looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"For whom? Let's go to trade, do business! As thieves, we can't afford to leave behind the ability to kidnap and blackmail! ”

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Brother mean still want horses?"

Deng Fei immediately understood what Sun Lei meant, the war horse is more real than Liu Fa.

"Let's see what tricks the Tangut people play!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, 100,000 war horses will definitely not be given by the Xixia people, but it is impossible to pull out a dime.

"If you can go back with 40,000 recruits and tens of thousands of war horses this time, it will be considered a trip to Hedong in vain."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Then this Xixia bamboo pole has to be knocked well!"

Deng Fei said with a smile, Sun Lei has never lost money in business, didn't Liang Shanbo start by "kidnapping tickets and blackmailing" the official government and army in his early years!
