After Zhang Di stayed up for six days, he finally opened his mouth and told the story of all the way to Xianzhou, because it was Wang Bolong who came forward to contact people from all over the world, although Zhang Di wrote six places where he lived, Yang Zhi estimated that it would not be too useful, but he still provided it to Yelu Ma Ge. Yang Zhi actually paid attention to Zhang Di's description after he arrived in Xianzhou, Wang Bolong went to Qingyan Temple, and after contacting Park Qilu at the foot of the mountain, he also went out alone to meet a person, and that person was the key; according to Zhang Di's time of Wang Bolong's return and back, it could only be a person who lived in Qingyan Temple or the villages around the temple.

For Zhang Di's future, Yang Zhi wanted to arrange it in his own business group at first, but Yelu Mage took out the edict of Yelu Ao, the king of Jin, to transfer Zhang Di to the Jin Palace, and Yang Zhi wisely closed his mouth. Obviously, Yelu Ao Lu Wei thinks that Zhang Di is a gold mine and wants to dig out the resources in it, if Yang Zhi says anything more, he is looking for something to do; as a subordinate, he should be more low-key than his boss.

However, before Zhang Di left, Yang Zhi still seized the time to talk to Zhang Di twice, and learned that the contact with the military camp was not Park Qilu, but someone else in Xianzhou, so Yang Zhi had an idea. When Yang Zhi went to discuss with Yelu, he happened to meet the new commander Guo Yaoshi, Guo Yaoshi was tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, a silver armor and white robe, and he looked heroic;

Yang Zhi chatted with the two for a long time, and went to a banquet together, but he couldn't help but say his plans. In Yang Zhi's impression, although Guo Yaoshi is a powerful general, he is similar to Lu Bu, as a Liao general who reduced Jin, and later descended to the Song Dynasty according to his actions, and then defected to the Jin State, known as "the remnants of Liao, the powerful rank of Song, and the hero of Jin". It is precisely because after Guo Yaoshi defected to the Song Dynasty that he was familiar with the details of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang was able to go deep with the hanging army, garrison the troops under Biancheng, make a pledge to pay the currency, and cut the land to return with all the victories.

To put it bluntly, such a person has no nature, and Master Tianxin may have arrived in Xianzhou, but he did not come out to meet him, Yang Zhi only felt that Rumang was on his back, so after more than ten days of investigation, Yang Zhi secretly saw Yelu Nei Piercing, and said that he wanted to go to the neighborhood to suppress the bandits. Yelu immediately agreed to Yang Zhi's plan, anyway, he was going to fight with these horse thieves, and he would strike first, considering that there might be some details in the resentful army, Yelu Neithorn promised not to say anything to anyone.

Yang Zhi went out hunting with a hundred horsemen on a sunny day, and actually went to capture the fighters; Yang Zhi just went around in a circle outside, in fact, the purpose was very clear, that is, Niuhe Fort, and encountered two small groups of bandits along the way, but they were all wiped out by Yang Zhi, so he hid the traces of the team.

Niuhe Fort is in the south of the toad ditch, on the Niuhe beam, located in the mountain beam that stretches for 20 miles, and the radius is 100 miles are rolling hills, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. Yang Zhi stood on the wall of Niuhe Fort, and scolded secretly in his heart, saying that Liao Taizu captured hundreds of Han people and created a city to resettle, this castle is clearly part of the Great Wall, it should be a military station of the Yan Great Wall during the Warring States Period, and the defects of the nearby Great Wall still exist, but the inside and outside of the Great Wall are already the territory of the Liao State, and the east not far away is the haunt of the Jin army.

This mountain range is the watershed of the Niu River and the Daling River, dividing Xianzhou into two parts, Guiyi Prefecture in the east, Xianzhou City in the west; Niuhe Fort is the head of the people in the vicinity, and it is called Huihe County in Liaoguo. Niuhe Fort is not the land of Liao at all, the aborigines have long been scared away, the Jin army, horse thieves and so on wantonly in and out, swords and guns, this piece of mountain beam into a choke point, but for the merchants, the unguarded Niuhe Fort has become a fragrant glutton, can rest and shelter from the wind and rain.

A sound of horses' hooves came from the valley, from far and near, Yang Zhi looked at the more than twenty horsemen of that small group, and couldn't help laughing, the leader was a tall man with a fierce face, holding a spear, and the people behind him were scattered, with big swords and long axes. Maybe there was no one nearby, no need to disguise, shouting loudly one by one, Zhang Nu's face changed and said, "Jurchen." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "That's a horse thief, check if there is a large team of people behind, and prepare to do it." ”

Yang Zhi, Hong Rirong, and Zhang Nu took a hundred horsemen to Niuhe Fort in the name of hunting, not just to crack down on some small groups of horse thieves, as for the identity of the Jurchens, Yang Zhi did not agree at all, the Khitans had horse thieves, and the Jurchens would also have people who would be horse thieves. Zhang Nu looked at the gesture of the scout in the distance and whispered, "There is no one behind, it is estimated that it is a separated squad." ”

Yang Zhi said coldly: "Annihilate them all." ”

Zhang angrily gave an order, Xue Libao shot an arrow at the leader of the leader, fifty strong bows shot indiscriminately, the cavalry on the opposite side fell to the ground one after another, only the four horsemen turned their horses in a panic, ran towards the valley, and were shot to death one by one by Hong Rirong, who was ambushed on that side. Zhang angrily whistled, rushed down with twenty cavalrymen, led nineteen horses, picked up weapons, searched the bodies of each dead man, valuable gold and silver belongings, and better armor and clothes on his body, all of which were stripped off, and then quickly returned to the mountain beam.

Zhang Nu handed Yang Zhi a letter and a tube of fireworks and said: "General, there is a harvest, it is a letter from Tie Qimen, the chief of the Tieli Department, to Cao Yongyi, and Tie Ying is a clansman of Tie Qimen. Tie Qimen asked Cao Yongyi in the letter to provide news of the company's departure and complete the last transaction, but unfortunately this group of people died, and they didn't know where to hand over the letter, so only the way to contact the fireworks was left. ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "There are too many people with the same name and surname, there is no other corroboration, I can't be sure which one it is Cao Yongyi, go back and hand over the letter to Master Tianxin, let them go to the brainstorm, we just hunt and retreat." ”

Yang Zhi understood that if it was Xianzhou Tong who sentenced Cao Yongyi, he would never come forward in person, even if he tried his best to catch someone, he was likely to be bitten back; Zhang Nu waited for Hong Rirong to bring people back, and immediately divided the gold and silver of the jewelry, as for the war horse weapons, they were naturally confiscated; it was a pity that this group of people did not have much dry goods, and each of the hundred soldiers received about three taels of silver, Yang Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "We will make a big vote later." ”

Hong Rirong said with a smile: "General, that's enough, this time I came out to kill more than 80 horse thieves and got 60 horses, and each brother earned at least ten taels of silver, and none of them were injured." If we really encounter horse thieves with goods, I'm afraid a hundred of us will not be enough. ”
