Mu Hanshan, the general of Zhenxi, is an outstanding figure at the level of the god of war, known as the patron saint of the Great Jin Dynasty.

If it weren't for him, the Jin Dynasty would have been divided between the Qingyuan Kingdom and the Jinxia Kingdom a long time ago, and it would not have been able to survive until now.

With only 200,000 soldiers, the western border could be firmly guarded, and the Jin Dynasty could concentrate on dealing with the Qingyuan Kingdom. Compared with him, the general of Zhenbei 'He Chengzhi', who has a heavy army, is much worse.

For many years, Jin Xia Guo has never stopped using anti-intermediary schemes, pouring all kinds of dirty water on Mu Hanshan, saying that he conspired with Jin Xia Guo in a vain attempt to carve up the Jin Dynasty, with the Wuheng River as the boundary, the north belongs to Jin Xia, and the south belongs to him Mu Han Mountain, etc., etc., this kind of statement has been chanted for many years.

As the so-called three people become tigers, it doesn't matter what happens once or twice, there are too many times, the emperor will definitely be suspicious today, plus some courtiers with ulterior motives in the court are secretly making trouble, and gradually they are becoming more and more uneasy, so they tried to recall Mu Hanshan to the capital, talk to him, and try his reaction.

But Mu Hanshan, a Confucian general, has a lot of personality, not a foolish and loyal person, and knows in his heart that once he returns to Beijing, under the manipulation of some traitorous ministers, it will be impossible for him to return to Western Xinjiang.

Therefore, he always refused to return to Beijing on the grounds that Jin Xiajun had abnormal movements, which made the emperor even more suspicious, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister became more and more tense.

In response to this, Jin Xia sent envoys to the capital of the Jin Dynasty several times to sign a peace agreement between the two countries, which means that the agreement has been signed, and it cannot be said that our Jin Xia army still has any changes. Mu Hanshan is still reluctant to return to Beijing, obviously because there is something strange in his heart.

But everyone knew that as long as Mu Hanshan left, the Jinxia army would definitely unite with the Qingyuan Kingdom to attack, and they had waited too long for this day.

Mu Hanshan just won't be fooled, no matter what you say, I will rely on this western frontier, and I will die on this border.

Let's put it this way, Mu Hanshan and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty don't trust each other, and they both think that the other party will kill or kill themselves, so Mu Hanshan's independence is a matter of time, it depends on whether he feels that the time is ripe.

Now, the time is finally ripe.

A few days ago, a letter he wrote to the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was sent to the capital, which roughly read: "Don't bother me, I will help you defend the western frontier and promise not to let the Jin Xia Kingdom hurt a single hair of the Jin Dynasty;

If you send troops to fight me, I won't fight you, I Mu Hanshan loves this country deeply, and I don't want to get the blood of my compatriots on my hands, so I will leave the Jin Dynasty headquarters with 200,000 soldiers.

Over the years, the female lord of the country of Sahua further west has asked me for love many times, she is very young and beautiful, with sky-like eyes and long golden hair...... I'll go to be her husband, be a prince, and help her fight the world in the Western Regions. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.

That's it, Your Majesty, think for yourself. It is also the last time to call you Your Majesty, from now on, the land of Western Xinjiang is officially independent!

Good for yourself, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty ......"

I don't know if the emperor of the Jin Dynasty vomited blood after reading this letter, but Mu Hanshan is still willing to help him protect the promise of the gateway to Western Xinjiang, Qingyuan Kingdom must not be clear, and the Qingyuan army in Northern Xinjiang has signs of assembly, and it is estimated that it is also testing Mu Hanshan's reaction.

Since it is a temptation, there will definitely be a small-scale war in the northern Xinjiang, which is what the people often say: there is another war.

Luo Chong analyzed that the battle of Hongyu had just been fought for more than four months, and both sides needed to recuperate, as long as Mu Hanshan was still sitting in the western Xinjiang, it would be impossible for Qingyuan Kingdom to use troops on a large scale.

As for the deterioration of the relationship between Mu Hanshan and the Jin Dynasty emperor, Luo Chong believes that the Taiping Holy Sect must have also played a certain role in promoting Cheng Dù.

The meaning of the existence of the Taiping Holy Sect is to let the Jin Dynasty end as soon as possible, and Mu Hanshan, as the patron saint of the Jin Dynasty, must be the number one target that the Taiping Sect must eradicate.

There are some ministers in the court who have infiltrated the Taiping Holy Sect, and they don't know how many bad things they have said about Mu Hanshan in the emperor's ears over the years.

There is no one right or wrong in this kind of thing, it can only be said that the strange emperor of this generation is destined to draw an end to the Great Jin Dynasty.

For the time being, the independence of Mu Hanshan has no direct impact on Guangling Town, and Luo Chong doesn't plan to go to the Northwest Frontier to make any fun now, so he let Ma Hanzi lead the team and lead the rangers to go out to suppress bandits and train soldiers, and by the way, he can also earn some silver back.

The five hundred cavalry belonged to Luo Chong's most descendant soldiers, not only cultivating internal skills, but Luo Chong also taught them a lot of skills.

For example, how to unite people and horses.

It's been almost three months, and the soldiers have a certain amount of internal strength, so they can use their own internal strength to nourish the war horses.

Especially during the march, the palm of the horse presses the neck, and the internal force slowly penetrates its whole body meridians, which can not only reduce its fatigue, but also dredge the meridians, strengthen the physique, and even establish a spiritual tacit understanding with the knight invisibly.

The time for the establishment of the cavalry team is still too short, and in terms of equestrian skills, even if there is an internal force accelerator, it is far from being able to learn anything quickly, compared with the nomads living on horseback, it is far worse, in addition to relying on internal strength, it can only be made up for by the tacit understanding of the soul.

Horses also have meridians and wisdom, otherwise there would be no way there are so many demons in the universe.

After enough run-in and proficiency, the knight and the war horse can pass through the circulation of internal force, connect the meridians of the two, and keep circulating, as if the war horse is also cultivating internal strength.

This is the unity of men and horses that Luo Chong taught them, and the effect is excellent, and when it reaches a certain level, it will naturally far exceed the simple horse control technique.

"Report!"

On this day, Ma Hanzi, who was suppressing bandits outside, sent back a scout and reported to Luo Chong: "General, a batch of our property in Lingyuan County has been detained, and Adjutant Ma asked me to come back and ask, what should I do?"

Lingyuan County is on the edge of our section of the canal, which can be called a transit base and trading city, every day, many cargo ships from the south unload their goods here, and then go west by land to transport to more than a dozen big cities along the way, countless counties and towns.

Ma Hanzi suppressed bandits everywhere in the entire Quang Ninh Province, and once again wiped out the bandits' nests, he could harvest a lot of property, and it was useless to transport many things back to Guangling Town, so it was better to sell them in the nearest county seat.

This time, he went to Lingyuan County to exterminate the bandits on three mountains in a row, and the wealth he obtained was a lot of money, so he sent it to Lingyuan County, feeling that he should be able to sell it at a high price in such a trading base, and then he could buy real military materials such as grain, cloth, and iron ore that had just disembarked at a lower price on the dock, and then send people back to Guangling Town.

Sell high and buy low, of course, this account is quite good, but something went wrong, the dock in Lingyuan County was controlled by a gang of gangsters, and they had to take one or two percent of the money for any commodity.

What's wrong with the soldiers, the soldiers have to pay for the sale of goods, those guys are crazy. Of course, it is also related to the fact that the army of the Jin Dynasty is rotten and does not have much deterrence.

There are only more than ten sergeants who are responsible for escorting property into the city to sell goods, but they are all warriors with internal strength, and they have killed many bandits during this period, and they are not afraid of the sky.

Why should we pay the fee, you are not an official person, and this is not a reasonable tax!

If you don't want to pay, you can, take the goods, get out of the dock, get out of Lingyuan County, and sell it elsewhere!

The two gangs of people upgraded from fighting to fighting, although the number of our sergeants is small, but they are all murderous martial arts, although they did not make a ruthless move, but they also beat those guys to a fart and urine, and there were twenty or thirty people who broke their legs and arms.

This alarmed the county government, and when he heard that it was a soldier's beating, the county knew that he was in person, but it was obviously not on the soldier's side. This is normal, they are all a family, and the county magistrate has to take a share from them every month.

So, he detained all the goods that the sergeants wanted to sell, and said: Let your commander solve it, you have injured so many people, you can't leave no one to explain.

However, he did not detain any of the sergeants, but only drove them out of the county seat.

The soldiers were afraid that this kind of thing would affect Luo Chong's reputation, so they didn't mention their own name and affiliation from beginning to end. After all, everything seized from the bandits is considered stolen goods, and it is said that they should be handed over to the state layer by layer, but everyone knows that it will not enter the treasury at all, and will only be greedy by officials at all levels.

"Good, there's work to do!"

For Luo Chong, this is good news, and he is looking for an opportunity to take a certain county town on the side of the canal as a future waterway transportation base, which is good, he doesn't have to deliberately find fault, and he will send the best excuse to his mouth.

Thundered......

Luo Chong personally led three hundred rangers and rushed to Lingyuan County, three hundred miles away.

Every time Ma Hanzi went out to suppress bandits, he only brought 200 horsemen, because the soldiers were still weak and had to take turns to rest.

With the gradual improvement of the level of integration of men and horses, the speed of the march is also gradually increasing, three hundred miles, there is no need to march in a hurry, it will be there in more than a day.

In the boring march, Luo Chong is responsible for the clone, and the proprioceptive consciousness will run into the small universe to be lazy. Anyway, it's like this when you encounter boring things, so I won't talk about it in the future.

Ma Hanzi's camp is more than 30 miles away from the county seat, and the location is relatively private, because he does not want to harass the surrounding counties and towns, which is also the discipline that Luo Jiajun has always followed.

But this time it was different, Luo Chong arrived with his troops and immediately gave Ma Hanzi an order: "Rest for the night, and the whole army will go out early tomorrow morning to surround Ling Yuan!"

"Whoa!"

Ma Hanzi had already guessed that our general would definitely do this, but he was also besieging the county seat, and he didn't have the authority to give such an order.

The next morning, the horses' hooves rumbled, and five hundred iron horsemen roared in, and the soldiers were divided into three roads, and the three city gates of Lingyuan County were blocked.

Unlike other county seats, the east of Lingyuan County is the canal wharf, so the west gate opposite the wharf is the main city gate.

Luo Chong waved his horsewhip at the west gate and ordered directly: "Charge for blocking the door, and charge 30% of the protection fee if you come out, because we have suppressed all the bandits along the road, and they have no worries all the way, so this money should be given." Those who don't want to pay are not reluctant, just let them return to the city. We are soldiers, not bandits, we can give them one more choice, this is the difference. ”

The bandits won't let you go back, you will be released if you give money, and you will not be killed, there is no other choice!
