Wang Bolong and Zhang San were in the middle of a fight, when they heard the movement, and then watched their men and horses being killed by a chain of armored horses, they immediately whistled, turned their horses and left, and more than ten horsemen nearby desperately stepped forward to stop Zhang San. Wang Bolong's banner was shot down by Lu Fang in the escape, the thieves no longer had the heart to fight, the cavalry of the Canglang battalion swarmed up, and Wang Bolong's whole army was defeated; Zeng Lane learned that Wang Bolong was defeated, and looked at the less than 600 horsemen who had fled back, so he could only sigh and say: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, let's go back to Machuan first." ”

Tom Yue Fei chased out a hundred miles, confirmed that Wang Bolong had gone away, Yang Zhi ordered to clean up the battlefield and return to Zengtou City, this battle killed 1,100 cavalry, captured more than 100 cavalry in Zengtou City, obtained more than 600 war horses, thousands of weapons; Han Tao and others cleaned up these cavalry and found that the horse thieves were different from Zhuang Ding in Zengtou City, not only most of them had all kinds of armor, but each person also had at least one or twenty taels of silver, and some leaders still had a lot of silver tickets, Yang Zhi asked Han Tao to collect more than 2,000 taels of silver tickets for backup, and handed over 3,500 taels of silver, and the rest was divided according to military merit。

Yang Zhi returned to Zengtou City victoriously, and ordered Yue Fei, Chen Guang, Pei Xuan, and Lu Zhishen to guard the four villages in the east, west, north and south respectively, and the 1,000 cavalry of Liang Juewu and Han Tao were stationed in Dazhai, and he and Gongsun Sheng were stationed in Zhongzhai, and Kong Yanwei and Zhu Wu were stationed in Zengjiazhuang. Zhu Wu's inventory has ended, and when he learned that he had obtained 300,000 stone of grain, Yang Zhi decided to report it truthfully, Wang Dalang was overjoyed, Yang Zhi didn't want to be greedy for ink, and it was a proper credit to Wang Dalang who went out together.

Wang Dalang didn't know that the charcoal, sulfur, cast iron, and weapons that Yang Zhi valued had been handed over in grain, and the Canglang Battalion was stationed in Zengtou City, and he was afraid that the government would not allocate it to him. Cai Fu, Cai Qing, Chen Da, and Cao Zheng were the responsible persons for Yang Zhi's collection, and specially placed two warehouses, which Zou Run and Cai Qing looked at separately, but the number of iron ingots and weapons collected was huge, more than 20,000 catties.

The blacksmith shop in Zengtou City was also arranged by Zhu Wu for Chen Da to requisition all of them at the first time, and Chen Da did not let go of any of the twenty-two blacksmith shops, more than 50 blacksmiths and apprentices; Zhu Wu made it very clear that it didn't matter if he went to drink Machuan or not, but in Zengtou City, he had to make goods for the Canglang Camp, and it was a big deal to pay according to the price.

Yang Zhi decided to temporarily garrison Zengtou City, expand the 5,000 people and then go to Yinmachuan, Yang Zhi asked Pei Xuan to issue a notice to appease the people, set up a law enforcement team, strictly prohibit disturbing the people and looting, and even arranged for the soldiers of the Canglang Battalion to escort the prisoners to help clean up the scene and repair the people's houses; Yang Zhi asked the horse merchant Ye Sheng to come forward to help buy more than 100 horses that were originally requisitioned, and Yang Zhi, who was unwilling to sell, returned or compensated all the horses.

On the third day, Zengtou City was basically calm, Yang Zhi met Wang Ding, Wang Shan and the three merchants of the Daimyo Mansion in a side hall, Wang Ding was the head of the Daimyo Mansion, and Wang Shan was the confidant of Wenda, the three horse merchants Ye Sheng, Tang Fengrui, and Tuoba Guang were all related to Wenda. Yang Zhi said directly: "Three hundred horses have been selected, let you take them back to the Daimyo's Mansion, in addition, you and Lord Liang said that the snow lion was killed, I asked Mr. Huangfu to choose ten horses to compensate according to the price of the snow lion, and the grain of 300,000 stone here, I will also wait for the instructions of the Daimyo's Mansion to transfer it to Cangzhou." ”

Hearing Yang Zhi say that he would give three hundred horses to the errand, Wang Ding and Wang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Da had said hello before coming, and now there is no risk at all; Ye Sheng, the horse merchant who was the leader, said with a smile: "General Yang is really a believer, everyone is his own person, and I hope that General Yang will take care of business more in the future, this time we are opening our eyes, the male soldiers of the Canglang Battalion are really different from the ordinary officers and soldiers, do not hide from the general, we have purchased more than 200 horses in Cangzhou during this time, and we can make up this number in a month at most." ”

Yang Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Boss Ye means that there are no more than three hundred horses, but I am very short of horses, let's say, what do you want?"

It seems that Ye Sheng and Wang Ding and the others really have a good relationship, Ye Sheng did not shy away from speaking at all: "Iron, the Canglang Battalion has broken through Zengtou City, there are a large number of waste weapons and armor, we have also seen that the general is collecting, can you give us some of it, the armory workshop of the Daimyo Mansion is buying these every month, and the price of such semi-finished products is the highest." ”

Yang Zhi is familiar with the situation in the army, these semi-finished products regardless of the quality, but absolutely save wages, those extra wages are not reported, all fall into the hands of officials and suppliers;

Zhu Wu and Ye Sheng and others went to settle the accounts and distribute them, Liang Juewu sent someone to report, Zhan Du, the head of the Ma Bu Army, arrived with two hundred horses, Zhan Du came after receiving a report from Wang Dalang from Zhizhou overnight, Canglang Camp moved so quickly this time, even the horse thieves who drank Machuan were killed more than a thousand people, which surprised Zhan Du a lot, the officials and soldiers of Cangzhou did not even dare to provoke Zengtou City, Canglang Camp is really a strong dragon.

Zhan Du was basically satisfied from the arrival of Liang Juewu and Han Tao to the entry into Zengtou City, the army moved quickly and was disciplined, and it didn't look like a team that had not been in the army for a long time, although the soldiers of the Canglang Battalion were walking around on the streets, they couldn't see the appearance of other armies wanting to provoke everywhere. Yang Zhi lined up at the gate of the Zhongzhai camp and welcomed Zhan Du into the village, and the two talked and laughed all the way and sat down in the big tent.

Yang Zhi has a good feeling about Zhan Du, he is very upright and scheming, but this kind of good impression is no longer a formal topic as soon as he enters, Zhan Du's first sentence is that he wants to take over Zengtou City, and explains that Cangzhou Prefecture also means this; Yang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Canglang Battalion was ordered to suppress bandits, and now there is no banditry, several cases are being investigated, and the troops also need to be repaired; Lord Zhan, if the state government wants to send someone to take over, I am very welcome, but we can only leave until the case is over and the Daimyo's Mansion Left-behind Division is recognized." ”

Yang Zhi refused Zhan Du's request, and the reason given was very simple, he was waiting for a reply from the Daimyo's Mansion, and he also needed to rest; The Daimyo's Mansion was the upper level of Cangzhou, and Zhan Du knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, so he said quietly: "According to the decision of the imperial court, the last station of the Canglang Camp should be Yinmachuan. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and asked: "Yinmachuan is under the control of Cangzhou, I don't know if the barracks have been built, whether the Cangzhou government has drawn a map of that area? This needs to be coordinated by adults, and the Canglang camp is currently not in numbers, and it is hoped that the army will be replenished in Cangzhou. I will strive to find out the facts of the case in Zengtou City within 10 days, and how about setting off in half a month?"
