"Five hundred military horses is a big number." Xing Honglang stood in front of Cheng Xu: "I only have thirty-eight men. There is no way to send so many military horses back safely. Professor He, I want to ask for your help this time. ”
When Cheng Xu heard that it was Tianzun's order, of course he helped without hesitation: "No problem, I will personally lead the militia to escort these troops back."
This time, Gao Chuwu and Zheng Daniu no longer said silly things about carrying the horse back. They raised their hands with a proud smile on their faces: "We can lead the horse!
Xing Honglang was immediately furious: "Shut up, you two idiots. What's so proud about being able to lead a horse? Tell me, who in this world can't lead a horse?"
Gao Chuwu and Zheng Daniu: "..."
Cheng Xu chuckled: "If we can get these horses back, we can form a cavalry team in Gaojiacun."
Xing Honglang nodded: "Tianzun should also mean this.
Cheng Xu: "Okay, then we must do this well. Have you and the seller agreed on the delivery location?"
Xing Honglang: "I'm thinking about this. The delivery location can't be too close, so as not to cause trouble to Gaojia Village, but it can't be too far, otherwise it won't be safe for us to get the horse back."
The two unfolded the map...
Li Daoxuan also looked at the map, and then he spotted a good place at a glance.
Southeast of Huanglong Mountain, Duzhong Village.
This place is just at the corner of Li Daoxuan's field of vision, a place he can "take care of". It is about forty miles away from Gaojiacun, a small mountain village that has long been uninhabited.
He was about to print out the name of Duzhong Village and put it in the box when Cheng Xu and Xing Honglang clicked on it almost at the same time: "Dezhong Village!"
Xing Honglang: "This place belongs to the boundary of Huanglong Mountain. We traded with Wu Zimian here. Afterwards, it can be said that a certain rogue entrenched in the mountain bought the horse to prevent them from suspecting Gaojiacun."
Cheng Xu nodded: "The surrounding terrain is complicated, and it is easy to secretly bring the war horse back to Gaojiacun."
Xing Honglang: "Okay, then this is it.
Cheng Xu: "I will take people to check out the location first, get a clear view of the surrounding terrain, and lead a militia group to hide nearby. You send people to contact Wu Zimian.
Li Daoxuan was outside his box, clicked on the three words Duzhong Village, his vision blurred, and he jumped over...
Here is the corner of his field of vision, a small mountain village in decline. There are only a dozen houses in the village, and it seems that there were only a few dozen people in the village before. After the severe drought broke out, Duzhong Village has become an empty village.
There is not much view to the north of the village, which only extends for two miles, but Li Daoxuan can see all the terrain to the south of the village. Several mountain roads pass through ditches and around slopes, leading to Chengcheng County and Hancheng...
It was getting late, and Wu Zimian, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, was already getting ready for bed.
The confidant servant came in from the outside and whispered: "General, we finally found a buyer.
Wu Zimian was overjoyed: "Five hundred first-class war horses cost a lot of money. Have you carefully checked the buyer's strength?"
When times were good, a war horse cost almost twenty taels of silver. But now, the times are not good. Not only are rogue bandits raging, but foreign slaves are also frequently detaining customs, so the price of war horses has also risen to fifty taels to seventy taels. Between two silver coins.
Five hundred war horses would cost between 25,000 to 35,000 taels. This was really not a small amount, and buyers without any strength would not dare to accept the goods.
The servant whispered: "The buyer is unwilling to reveal his true identity, but judging from his accent and figure, he should be a salt owl from Shanxi."
Wu Zimian frowned and thought for a moment: "Salt Owl from Shanxi? Hey! It can't be Yongji Xing Red Wolf, right?"
"She is really capable of eating this batch of goods. Okay, then give this batch of goods to her."
Servant: "The other party said they wanted to deliver the goods in Duzhong Village on the southeast slope of Huanglong Mountain."
Wu Zimian took out the marching map and looked at it: "It's not far from our place. Okay, I'll send the goods to Duzhong Village."
"Then we need to pass through Huanglong Mountain." The servant whispered: "There is also King Zuogao of Yichuan stationed in this mountain."
Wu Zimian laughed loudly: "If I don't go to trouble Wang Zuoguan, he will have to burn incense. How dare you take the initiative to provoke me? I advise him to hide well, otherwise he will be killed easily. Report your merits to the imperial court, and there is still a reward to be earned.
The servant laughed: "That's what the general said."
Wu Zimian: "Send someone to report to the governor Zhang Mengjing, saying that this general has devoted himself to death. In order to wipe out the king of Yichuan, Zuo Gua, he decided to take the lead and go deep into Huanglong Mountain. Hehe... At the same time, I sent an order to the entire army, tomorrow Let’s pull up together and cross Huanglong Mountain, aiming for Duzhong Village.”
Servant: "The general's uncanny calculations are unparalleled in the world."
At the same time, Huanglong Shandong, Hancheng.
More than a hundred cavalrymen, dressed randomly and looking like thieves, were fleeing.
Behind them, a group of cavalry dressed in servant uniforms were chasing after them.
The person escaping in front was the famous female horse thief in Yichuan County, Zao Ying (a historical figure).
The person chasing after him was a servant of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province.
Zao Ying is a tough female horse thief. Her appearance is, well... similar to that of Xing Honglang.
While she was running away with her men, she was cursing: "Damn Hong Chengchou, I just wanted to steal the grain and grass he was escorting, so he sent troops to chase me for more than ten miles.
He comes and goes without a trace, and often robs government convoys. Things like birthday plans and official silver teams are her key targets.
Zao Ying has always regarded herself as a righteous thief, only robbing high-ranking officials and not ordinary people. She usually relies on her excellent riding skills. This time she ran out to rob the official grain transport team, but it turned out that the person who was escorting the grain was Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province.
Hit the iron plate.
Zao Ying and his men were beaten violently by the servants of the Hong family. They lost their helmets and armor and were completely defeated. They had to flee. If it weren't for their excellent riding skills and running fast enough, they might have been buried by now. alright.
After escaping for more than ten miles, we reached the east slope of Huanglong Mountain in front of us.
Seeing Huanglong Mountain, the Hong family servants behind stopped chasing.
The Art of War says that you should not pursue someone in the woods, but in fact you cannot pursue them in the mountains either.
The servants of the Hong family yelled from behind: "You stupid horse thieves, let you go today. When you see the flag of our Hong family, get away immediately. If you dare to harass you again, I will chop you all into pieces." cut."
Zao Ying was furious, but being angry at this time was called "incompetent rage". He would only be ridiculed and could not express his anger. He buried his head and ran away, running into Huanglong Mountain. He didn't dare to stop as soon as he entered the mountain. He had to run deeper into the mountain, otherwise the Hong family would chase him again, which would cause serious problems.
Zaoying and her gang ran and ran, and there was a deserted mountain village ahead. She could finally stop and rest, and asked her men: "Where are we now?
One of his men whispered: "Huanglong Mountain, Duzhong Village."
