Cao Bin felt that he was really wronged. Although he was a bit free of himself, he definitely had no special hobbies.

He feels that he has a broad mind and will not have preferences...

As the troops returned one after another, the Song army finally won a great victory, and the Xixia people fled in panic with only more than a thousand remaining soldiers.

At this time, all the generals were smiling. Even Yang Zongbao could not maintain his previous serious look and said with a smile:

"In this battle, we almost annihilated Xixia's most elite troops, and they have been severely injured."

"Perhaps in the next few years, there will be no more wars in the northwest of our Song Dynasty."

When the soldiers heard this, they cheered immediately. They had never fought such a hearty battle since the founding of Xixia, and they had continuously attacked Song Dynasty.

Afterwards, Yang Zongbao turned to Cao Bin and said, "Uncle Zhongjing, you take the lead in this battle."

Cao Bin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "All the soldiers worked together as one to kill the enemy bravely. I was just the one who started."

As he spoke, he smiled and said: "This time, I will put the merits of all the soldiers first in the memorial."

Yuan Hao and Zhang Yuan both died in his hands, and no one can take away these two achievements.

Even if there are more achievements in defeating the enemy, it is just the icing on the cake, and no more benefits can be obtained.

In this case, there is no need to care about the military achievements in front of you.

As the saying goes, if you are good to me, so is he.

A win-win situation for everyone is the last word!

When all the soldiers heard this, they immediately had a favorable impression of Cao Bin.

Jiao Tinggui even shouted: "I always thought that Uncle Cao was a bad playboy. I even beat him when he was a child."

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I am here to solemnly apologize to Uncle Cao."

Then he looked at the sedan in surprise and said:

"Uncle, this little follower has changed a lot. You two were no match for me when we were together, haha..."

Hearing this, Cao Bin was stunned. He looked deeply at the black-faced general, and a feeling of familiarity in his bones suddenly hit his heart.

When he first traveled through time, he always felt a natural fear of people with black faces.

I thought the crux was Bao Zheng, but I didn't expect it to be the person in front of me.

This man was also a court lord, and his father was Yongyi Bo Jiaozan, who was Yang Liulang's right-hand man.

Seeing this, Yang Zongbao quickly pulled him up and said, "You guy, what are you talking about?"

Hearing Jiao Tinggui's words, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On such occasions, wouldn't saying such words be a slap in Cao Bin's face?

Cao Bin waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I have forgotten everything about my childhood."

As he spoke, he quietly winked at the sedan chair, which suddenly understood and looked at Jiao Tinggui with a sinister look.

At this moment, a group of soldiers drove hundreds of horses forward and said: "Report to the general, a total of 721 horses are intact."

Yang Zongbao looked at these war horses, his eyes brightened, and he praised repeatedly:

"What a horse, what a horse!"

Seeing his behavior, Cao Bin felt that the Yang family was a bit worthless and said speechlessly:

"General Yang, why are you so excited? It's just a few horses."

Yang Zongbao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Xixia and Liao have blocked our way of purchasing good horses. Such good horses are really rare."

Cao Bin was puzzled and said:

"It's smuggling! As long as I give you a lot of money, are you still worried that there won't be any good horses to sell?"

Yang Zongbao was speechless and said:

"Smuggled horses are expensive and scarce, and the court cannot afford them."

Hearing this, Cao Bin also reacted.

Through various channels, Fu Bo was only able to purchase several hundred qualified horses every six months, and it was extremely expensive.

Until now, Cao Bin's accumulation of good horses is not enough for one person and two horses.

It was even more uneconomical for the imperial court. Spending so much money might as well build heavy infantry and use foot to control cavalry.

At this time, Wu Yijieshan came over and said:

"Uncle Cao, these horses are not simple. They are top-notch war horses that Yuan Hao has trained for more than ten years."

"Their parents are also carefully selected from the Western Region horses, Hequ horses, and even large food horses."

"After so many years, Xixia only has about 20,000 horses, and they are all used by Yuan Hao to equip iron kites."

Big food horse?

Hearing the name, Cao Bin was immediately shocked. Arabian horses are very famous, tall and strong, with excellent endurance.

In later generations, many countries will introduce Arabian horse breeds, improve local horses, and become the darling of the racecourse.

Yuan Hao can actually get Arabian horse breeds?

While Cao Bin was deep in thought, Sister Yang suddenly came over and said:

"Zong Bao doesn't need to worry about him. Cao Bin is very rich. How could he know about our difficulties?"

Yang Zongbao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No wonder."

Cao Bin ignored Sister Yang and said directly to Yang Zongbao:

"General Yang, do you want to get thousands more good horses?"

Yang Zongbao's eyes lit up at first, then he quickly shook his head and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing doesn't want to attack Xixia anymore, does he?"

"You must not, we have already disobeyed the imperial court's military orders."

"If I violate the order again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

Cao Bin said seductively:

"There is no need to fight, just show off, and you can get thousands of war horses. Then we can add two to one and make five... Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Yang Zongbao suddenly showed a look of excitement and asked, "What does Uncle Zhongjing plan to do?"

Sister Yang Ba said: "Cao Bin, don't act recklessly. If the time comes, Zongbao will be harmed, and I won't spare you."

Seeing that Sister Yang looked unbelieving again, Cao Bin suddenly felt so boring and said:

"Forget it, forget me!"

However, Yang Zongbao was already seduced by the thousands of good horses, so he quickly grabbed him and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing, don't pay attention to my sister-in-law. She is still young and ignorant. Why don't you talk about it?"

Hearing this, Sister Yang was so angry that her eyebrows jumped up and she said angrily:

"Yang Zongbao, I am your elder! How dare you speak like this?"

"Forehead......"

Yang Zongbao was speechless.

Cao Bin smiled and said: "Eighth sister, since you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

Sister Yang Ba said angrily: "Just bet, I don't believe you can steal the war horse without fighting."

As she spoke, she said fiercely: "If you don't succeed, you will be my follower for half a year."

Cao Bin nodded and said: "Okay, if I win, then you can be my bed warmer for half a year..."

Before Cao Bin could finish speaking, Yang Zongbao's face turned dark:

"Uncle Zhongjing!"

Seeing that he looked like he was going to kill someone, Cao Bin quickly changed his words and said with a smile: "Bringing tea and water, bringing tea and water!"

When Sister Yang saw Cao Bin looking like he was sure of winning, she suddenly felt a little scared: "How about half a month!"

Cao Bin ignored her and asked, "General Yang, how many people do we have now?"

Yang Zongbao said seriously:

"Xixia's elite combat power is extremely impressive. Even in a chaotic situation, they caused more than 3,000 casualties to our army."

"Our army now has nine thousand men to fight."

Cao Bin said with a knot in his chest: "That's enough!"

After the army was reorganized, the troops immediately set off. When they arrived near the Hengshan camp, they set up camp.

Cao Bincai said to Yang Zongbao and Yang Bajie: "You two, do you have the guts to take a walk with me before going to Hengshan Camp?"

Sister Yang made a sound and said:

"You dare to go, what can we not dare to do?"

Cao Bin snapped his fingers and said, "In that case, let's be friends!"

Sister Yang muttered: "It's weird."

Arriving at the front gate of the Hengshan camp, the Xixia soldiers guarding the city suddenly shouted: "The Song people are coming, close the camp gate quickly."

Cao Bin drove his horse forward and shouted:

"Brothers from Xixia, please go in and announce that Cao Bin is here to pay his respects."

When the Xixia soldiers heard this, they immediately panicked and said, "He was the one who killed the king..."

With that said, he hurriedly ran inside.

I don't know how long it took, but a group of Xixia civil and military personnel appeared on the wall. They all glared at Cao Bin with hatred in their eyes. Queen Wu Zang also looked down and said:

"You thief, you dare to come back, what are you going to do?"

Cao Bin smiled and said:

"I'm not hiding, don't be angry!"

"I'm going back to Song Dynasty soon. I suddenly remembered that I haven't said goodbye to you yet, so I came here to let you know."

Queen Wu Zang was speechless. I believe you. You came with a large army and you didn't look like you were saying goodbye. You clearly had bad intentions.

At this moment, a military general suddenly cursed below:

"Thief Cao, you killed the leader of my family, and I'm going to seek revenge from you..."
