Chapter 544

Thirty mules lined up, each of which was a wicker basket woven at random, covered with thick dead grass, but there were thirty baskets of gold bars inside This is used to buy a batch of superior weapons Yeluda looked at his belongings in the distance, and the money was spent like water. Several treasure houses left by his ancestors had been used, and it was not the time to start the army. How many days could he hold out if he raised troops on a large scale? His eyebrows frowned, and he saw a tall figure coming in a hurry in the distance, with a deer cutting knife across his waist, and the scabbard seemed to be dripping with the cold dew of the valley

He chuckled, "good son-in-law, you're late."

King Qin took his time: "it's just right. The buyer I contacted will be released in a few days."

"Still smelting?"

King Qin held a stall: "it's all raw utensils. It took me nine cows and two tigers to get the order. What else do you want?"

"Well, King Qin, you've worked hard, and it's time to remember you."

"I dare not take credit for it. Old devil, as long as you don't sneak behind your back."

"When will these knives and guns be released?"

"About half a month."

"Will it take so long? Can you hurry?"

"No way, it's too much. And, old devil, you know, it's risking the crime of being beheaded by the golden man and giving a high price. People may not be willing."

"When can you catch up with the army?"

King Qin laughed, "don't worry, I don't want you to leave the army, only my 3000 troops will be cut off for you, and I will catch up with you when I carry weapons."

Yelv was worried about King Qin's proposal to leave the army. Hearing that he no longer wanted people, he only sent out his miscellaneous army composed of 3000 savages. Naturally, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still not very confident. This batch of weapons was huge King Qin saw his eyes shaped like snakes and scorpions. He was sure that it was more terrible than the juice of poisonous snakes, and it would drop out and destroy everything at any time He casually: "old devil, Qin Hui has reached the border. If you don't go, you may not be able to go..."

Yelv trembled in an excited voice: "is it true? The fourth Prince really wants to support song qinzong? If there is a scuffle between the north and the south of song, or between song and Jin, isn't it..."

"Yes. You can fish while the water is muddy. But now you should avoid its edge and hide your strength and bide your time, otherwise, don't mention fishing, you won't catch a shrimp."

Yelv shone with his eyes: "well, King Qin, you bring weapons to catch up, and I will immediately start to deploy. I must take advantage of the chaos."

The opportunity came, and he knew the importance of a good general at this time. It was time for King Qin to play a role

Yelv Dayong, who dreamed of being an emperor, finally led his army to leave. King Qin looked at this empty valley. The smoke was still there, and 3000 people were still fighting on horses

Liu Wu stood beside him and sighed: "Your Majesty, we really have the opportunity and strength to compete in the world?"

Who knows? And I don't care King Qin didn't care. "Maybe it's an opportunity for old Yelv. If it's really done, you can also become a general."

Liu Wu's eyes lit up. At first, it was entirely because of Yelv's command. However, over time, that was the soldiers' unique expectation of making contributions Looking at the savage army, he suddenly had an illusion: the posture of these savages standing suddenly formed an array It was not like this before. It was disorganized and disorganized But as soon as Yelv Da Yong left, the army immediately grew bone marrow and became upright, like a well-trained elite

"Your Majesty, when are we going to receive weapons?"

"It's still early. Why are you panicking?"

"Then, what should we do to prepare?"

King Qin laughed, "practice."

"Ah?"

Liu Wu was surprised to find that the smile on King Qin's face had a calmness he had never seen before. It was not the hegemony of the former king of pirates, but the calm and constancy of the real battle general This was something he had never found himself, including yeluron, who was known to be able to fight, and even general Helian

"Your Majesty, are you?"

"I'm practicing a new array. Liu Wu, you sweep the array for me."

Liu Wu was stunned How can King Qin know any array?

King Qin ignored his surprise. With a few thin pieces of paper in his arms, he had memorized them thoroughly It was all the efforts of Yue Pengju before his death, condensing all the wise military strategies of this talented commander He once witnessed how he commanded the Dongting war with his own eyes. He never wanted to admit it to his face, but he admired it in his heart Because of this, it is particularly easy for him to understand It seems that there is a kind of Providence guiding, which is deeper and more thoroughly understood than that recorded by Hua Rong, far beyond the enlightenment brought by those pages

Naturally, Liu Wu and others did not know that he had obtained the art of war of Yue Pengju, but vaguely felt that "scholars should look at each other with new eyes on the third day of their separation". After not seeing King Qin for a period of time, especially after the devastating blow to the serpent tribe, he felt that King Qin had changed - completely changed I don't know whether he is ambitious or more ruthless. In short, in terms of military power, he is more enthusiastic than in the past, and enthusiastically immersed in an unprecedented action - all his energy is focused on this army

He subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, there are only 3000 of us. Now the Jin army is rampant and wants to escort these weapons. I'm afraid..."

"What about threethousand? Haven't you heard that threethousand armor can swallow Wu, and onehundredandtwenty-two Qinguan will eventually belong to Chu?!"

Liu Wu was completely stunned

Shanxian village

This is a junction of song and Jin Dynasties It is said that the border is in the hands of Jin Jun There are trees and dangerous mountains here. There is only one way to the foot of the mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is not easy for outsiders to notice In order to keep secret, even the surrounding villagers were moved to the low-lying marshes below The mountaineers dared to be angry, so they had to migrate to the farther peripheral cultivated land At that time, the land was divided into "mature land" and "raw land", which was barren wasteland. The mountain people thought that this was the oppression of the Jin army, so they became more resentful In fact, of course, the discrimination of the Jin State against the Han people is included, but the most important thing is not so. There is a secret hidden here - this is the only channel for the "confrontation" between Liao and Song dynasties The battle is not a war, but an agreement reached between Zhao Deji and the state of Jin since he became king. One of them is to pay tribute to the state of Jin every year, with 250000 liang of silver and silk respectively In order to avoid coveting by all parties or robbery by bandits, all the armed forces hundreds of miles around Shanxian village were eliminated, which is a very safe tribute channel Over the years since Zhao Deji became king, the Jin army has never failed to pay tribute every year

250000 Liang, in the prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty, was not a super astronomical figure, but since Zhao Deji's Pianan, a generation of rich places in Yangzhou, Mingzhou, had been looted by the Jin army and could not be recovered in a short time. Therefore, relying solely on the taxes in the South of the Yangtze River, it is an astronomical figure to not only support several armies, but also pay 250000 liang of silver and 250000 silk However, to Jin Jun's satisfaction, Zhao Deji never disagreed with this. Especially in terms of the quality of silk, it was the best silk from Sichuan and other places, and even Zhao Deji himself was reluctant to use it

The annual tribute is delivered at the turn of spring and summer, called "spring silver", but this year because Qin Hui arrived outside Kaifeng, it was slightly delayed Qin Hui knew that the purpose of the state of Jin was to support song qinzong and Zhao Deji to compete, but no matter how wily he was, after all, he had long been frightened by the Jin army, and he had not brazenly broken with the fourth prince, so he did not dare to risk withholding tribute silver. The silver protection army behind him stopped for a while and came to Shanxian village

Shanxian village had a special Jin Jun to meet him, so he was escorted back to Shangjing. This year, due to the problem of moving the capital, the result of the negotiation between the DPRK and the central government was to send the silver to Yanjing The original palaces of the Liao state were naturally much larger than those of Shangjing. However, when he CI moved the capital, he naturally wanted to have a magnificent resurgence. He had long admired the emperor of the Han family and hoped to decorate Yanjing as the former Kaifeng Imperial Palace, carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and magnificent. These tributes from the song state were just used on it

To receive the silver is the 10000 elite led by King Longhu The escort of silver is Qin Hui's party Haneda division This is not an easy job. In order to prevent accidents, Qin Hui specially asked him to lead 20000 troops to escort this time, for fear that in case of a mistake, he would not only be unable to make a difference to Zhao Deji internally, but also be suspicious of the fourth Prince externally He is now a two headed drill bellows. Although he is powerful, he relies entirely on the guarantee of "lifelong Prime Minister" proposed by the fourth Prince of the song and Jin Heyi, otherwise, according to the practice of Zhao Deji's crossing the river and demolition, he would have been removed and exiled long ago Therefore, although he accidentally died of Wang Junhua, he still couldn't get the exact news, and he didn't dare to have any doubt about the fourth prince, just step by step

It was a cloudy day, and the two armies met in Shanxian village King Longhu was a little polite to the tribute army who escorted the silver. In front of the white silver, the prestige was ignored. While making an inventory, he said, "general Tian has worked hard." Tian Shizhong was so favored by Jin Ren for the first time. He was flattered. His worry about his voice finally fell down, and he finally made a perfect job

King Longhu casually asked, "where is prime minister Qin stationed now?"

Master Tian smiled treacherously, "to be honest, I'm waiting for the order of the fourth prince in Liujia temple."

"Ha, go back and tell Prime Minister Qin that the fourth Prince has something important to discuss with him."

"I will tell you."

After counting the tribute, King Longhu waved his hand and put the mules and horses in the crates, and this batch of huge materials went to the kingdom of gold in a mighty manner

King Longhu was ordered by Jin Wushu. As long as he crossed Shanxian village, except for the marsh, it was the road to Yanjing. There was no problem for the army of the four princes to meet him And nothing has ever happened around here, so there is no need to worry He looked at the silver and was very proud. He had a few complacent discussions with several commanders around him, and each took his wine bag and beef to eat and drink

The road across Shanxian village is very smooth. If you go further, you will find the swamp This marsh is not a dead marsh, but a dense marsh. Although it will not fall and kill people, it is very muddy. The horse's legs can sink in half, so it is impossible to walk quickly

A commander suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly said to the king of dragon and tiger, "it seems that someone is coming."
