When Yu Zhu arrived at Maozhou City with the reinforcements looking tired, Huang Dagen had already returned with his horses. According to the previous agreement, the war horses returned to the Perak Army, and the rest of the spoils went to the two states of Wei and Mao. When this horse-exploring Red Army set out from Longdong, it brought 3,400 horses with it. When it arrived at Songzhou Grassland, there were still 2,800 horses left. During the explosion, more than 600 horses were killed and injured. The Pili Army captured 2,100 war horses in one battle, which really made a fortune. You must know that the entire Sichuan Song Army only had a few thousand horses. Now Huang Dagen finally understood why the Mongols were keen on invading everywhere. It was too easy to get rich overnight by making war fortune through plunder. No wonder Brother Xuan often tells the top brass of the Perak Army not to have any illusions about the Mongolian Army, but to have a clear understanding of their wolfish ambitions. For this reason, he often uses the words of his predecessor, the Great Khan of Mongolia, to warn everyone: "The greatest joy in life is to The enemy killed them all, robbed them of all their property, watched their relatives cry bitterly, and rode their horses..."
The harvest for the two states of Wei and Mao was also extremely rich. Not to mention the valuable weapons and armor of the thousand cavalrymen, the more than 600 strong prisoners with three fingers cut off were also a huge income. When the Wei Mao soldiers cut off the captives' fingers one by one, these semen tried to resist while scolding the Wei Mao soldiers for not keeping their word. However, their hands and feet were tied so tightly that they could not move at all, so they had to be slaughtered. As for the breach of trust, the Wei Mao soldiers did not believe that they would surrender. They only promised not to kill, but they did not promise not to cut the fingers of those who were looking for sex.
Although the local officials and soldiers in Wei Mao had made a fortune, they still couldn't help but be jealous when they saw the Pili Army's war horses. It's just that the Pili Army's gunpowder did play a decisive role in this battle, and they had nothing to say on the bright side. Yu Zhu and Huang Dagen saw some signs, so they spent a lot of money to buy more than 600 dead horses, preparing to make pickled horse meat and take them back to Chongqing Mansion. Horsemeat is not uncommon in the two states of Wei and Mao, but it is extremely popular with soldiers of the Perak Army. In addition, Huang Dagen gave another sum of money to entrust Wei Mao officials to clean up the blocked mountain road in the future. The reason why the mountain road is to be cleared in the future is, on the one hand, to prevent the Mongolian army from moving south from Songzhou again in the short term, and on the other hand, the barrier lake has already been formed and cannot be cleared at all. After receiving two more sums of money, the faces of Wei Mao officials greatly improved, and they all became friendly and cheerful.
Once this barrier lake is formed, the amount of water will accumulate more and more until the water pressure breaks down the stones blocking the river. The accumulated water will form a flood peak, rushing downstream with thunderous momentum, and it will be divided into several branches at Guankou Village. It flows to all parts of the western Sichuan plain. It is foreseeable that wherever the flood peak reaches, the western Sichuan Plain, including the area under the jurisdiction of the Perak Army, will become a swamp. The only solution for now is to expand the gap in the barrier lake so that short-term major floods turn into long-term minor floods, and then make preventive preparations in advance and relocate people and property from low-lying areas. Thinking of the barrier lake hanging above his head, Yu Zhu could no longer sit still. After negotiating the relevant matters with Huang Dagen, he took the two battalions of reinforcements and escorted the horses towards Guankou Village.
Naturally, the news that the Perak Army had captured a large number of war horses could not be concealed. Naturally, the various forces have planted spies within the territory of the Perak Army. The amount of management personnel, space and fodder required for more than 2,000 horses is huge, so it is natural that these eyes hidden in the shadows cannot be avoided. According to Dong Hu's estimate, there are more than a hundred spies hidden in the Perak Army. The counter-espionage company alone has obtained evidence for dozens of people. Among these people are spies from the Mongolian Army, as well as people such as Yu Xing, Cao Zhizhou and others. group. The activities of these people are all under the control of the counter-espionage company. The reason why Ouyang Xuan did not order them to be arrested and brought to justice was that on the one hand he wanted to take a long-term approach and even instigate them to rebel in order to provide false intelligence. On the other hand, he was concerned about the reaction of his allies, especially the spies from Jiading and Yazhou. Most of them It is in the hibernation period and it is not suitable to take action for the time being. Of course, if they commit acts that endanger the Perak Army, they will be brought to justice without mercy.
This principle was followed when dealing with Fang Wen and Fang Ermei. Fang Wen is Cao Zhizhou's confidant, and Fang Ermei is his wife. The two pretended to be brothers and sisters and flowed into the Perak Army territory from Meizhou as refugees. They settled in Dayi City and opened a small restaurant as a cover. This Dayi city was originally an important place for military industry. There were not only arsenal workers, but also troops stationed there. These two types of people were precisely their targets. Because the food they sold was cheap, they spoke kindly, and they could get meat and wine from time to time, their business was very prosperous, and they had many regular customers from time to time. Among these regular customers, there was an arsenal mechanic named Wu Daya who attracted their special attention.
Wu Daya was originally a poor boy from Yizheng County. He was recruited into the arsenal because of his clever mind and dexterity, and soon became a technical backbone, responsible for the production of new grenades. His personality is withdrawn and he has been afraid of hunger since he was a child. His only hobby is eating meat. As a technical backbone, Wu Daya's income was not low. In addition, he was a bachelor with enough food for one person and the whole family was not hungry, so he was able to make sacrifices from time to time. Fang Wen's restaurant was the only one in Dayi City that could provide meat every now and then, and occasionally wine. This naturally became a place where Wu Daya often visited, and he became familiar with Fang Wen.
As soon as Wu Daya comes, this Fang Wen will trick him unintentionally. Wu Daya was not stupid at all. He ate when he came and left after eating. Fang Wen couldn't get what he wanted at all, which made him angry. "If you don't want to give up your child, you won't be able to trap the wolf." Fang Wen gritted his teeth and launched his big move - to introduce Fang Ermei to Wu Daya as his wife, which made Wu Daya overjoyed. The Pili Army encouraged early marriage and early childbearing. All the workers who joined the factory were married, but he was ugly and no one cared about him. Although the second sister Fang is a bit older, she is extremely beautiful. Wu Daya's mouth will water when he thinks about it. How can he not respond? But the second sister Fang didn't want to do it anymore. She and Fang Wen were originally married, but she didn't expect that Fang Wen would commit cuckoldry in order to get promoted and make a fortune. But she couldn't stand Fang Wen's persuasion, and promised that as long as she got the things, she would go back to Yazhou to enjoy the blessings, and finally agreed to have a false relationship with Wu Daya.
To say that Wu Daya can grow from a poor boy to a technical backbone, his brain is definitely not ordinary. No matter how coquettish and flirtatious Fang Ermei was, he just wouldn't agree to requests that violated the rules. This made Fang Wen so anxious that the corner of his mouth became angry. It seemed that this ugly boy was the master of "catching the rabbit before he saw the eagle", and he had to be forced to use his trump card. At this time, Fang Ermei also entered the role, gritted her teeth and simply agreed. She kept her eyes closed while getting along with Wu Daya - Wu Daya was so ugly and had bad breath.
Wu Daya was taken care of, and the blueprints for the new grenade were successfully obtained. However, when Fang Wen asked to steal another grenade, Wu Daya refused to agree, saying that the risk was too high. If he was found, he would have to work in the mines for life even if he would not lose his head. To do this, you must marry Fang Ermei. Wu Daya still doesn't know that Fang Wen and Fang Ermei are called brother and sister, but they are actually husband and wife. Fang Wen's face turned green when he heard Wu Daya's conditions. Originally, he just wanted to seduce him, but in the end, this kid actually went even further. It's just that until now, we can only continue to the end.
Fang Ermei had no choice but to trick Wu Daya into stealing the grenade. This Wu Daya is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He stole grenades in the form of spare parts, and every time he stole them, he had to ask Fang Ermei to accompany him. Fang Ermei had no choice but to hold back the surges in her chest and forced a smile to accompany Wu Daya. One day half a month later, when Wu Daya fell asleep beside Fang Ermei, he muttered to himself that the parts were complete and would be assembled into finished products next time. Hearing this, Fang Ermei let out a long breath.
Wu Daya woke up the next morning and found that the Fang brothers and sisters were no longer there.
