I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 86

After each war, the winning side will collect a lot of spoils, but because of the requirements of the march, many spoils can only be thrown away or burned even if they feel distressed. If they can be turned into money, it will be a great thing for them.

"Master He, I have half a pig iron armor here"

Someone beside He Shao cut off the leather part of the armor with a knife, and then weighed the rest.

"A total of nineteen catties"

He Shao's handwriting is ugly, so the military commander is responsible for recording and issuing the bills. This military commander is Yang Wenguang who brought out from Tianbo Mansion, so it is natural and reliable.

"Brother, the price of iron in Kaifeng City is [-] Wen per catty now, but I definitely can't give so much. After all, I have to go with the market, and I need to transport it back and recast it in the furnace, right? How about ten Wen per catty?"

"Row"

The man nodded hastily. There is nothing to complain about when things that were meant to be thrown away can be exchanged for money.

After the Sima with the army recorded his name and place of origin, he issued the first 190-character bill.

"Brother, this bill must be kept well. It is just a piece of paper now, but it will be real money in Kaifeng City, Taiyuan Prefecture," He Shao said with a smile.

After getting the first one, more and more trophies were sold, and there was a long queue outside the tent, everyone was holding the trophies that had just been cleaned from the battlefield.

"I have two sets of armor here..."

"I have here a wine bag used by the Khitans"

"I have a fur here, how much does it cost?"

How did He Shao know whether the fur was good or not? He blew on the fine fur and swirled it on the surface. It should be a high-quality fur.

"Brother, to be honest, I don't know much about furs either. How about I give you five hundred dollars? If you think it's okay, you can keep it."

"Five hundred dollars? My mother burned three or four times in the previous wars. That's two pennies." Someone beside him was full of remorse.

"Five hundred dollars is five hundred dollars"

He Shao didn't refuse anyone who came, except for gold and iron, other things as long as they were complete, they were all accepted, and then they were sorted and put in the alley.

When some people saw that the riding boots of the barbarian were sold for ten renminbi, they returned to the battlefield one after another, dug up the bodies that had been buried before, and stripped off their clothes and shoes.

It doesn't matter how the Liao people die. Let them go naked, no one will pay attention to their brothers who died in battle.

It's just that the loot recovered in two days has piled up like a hill, and it cost almost [-] guan, most of which are broken armor. As long as they are recast in the furnace, they can make a fortune!

The lucky ones in the Kelan army picked up a pearl in exchange for fifty guan, and the unlucky ones also got three or four hundred coins.

Because the Liao army's grain and grass depot was burned down, the Liao army could only choose to give up after attacking the city twice, leaving a field of corpses.

When the people of the Kelan army cleaned the battlefield, they pulled out the things on the Liao army who had not died for a long time. They were either stained with too much blood or were in dilapidated condition. They didn't even have any accessories with them. Scolded a poor ghost.

The battlefield outside Kelan County became the cleanest battlefield since the beginning of the war. They won the battle and made money. For a while, the prestige of Yang Wenguang and He Shao in the army increased a lot.

He Shao didn't care how much he would earn or lose this time, as long as he could rely on tens of thousands of people from the Xiang Army and Ke Lan Army to circulate these bank notes, everything would be worth it.

Compared with Kelan County's smooth progress, the battlefields in other places on Hedong Road seem a little unsatisfactory.

Yang Wenguang's scouts came to report that the 20 troops of the Liao Army East Road had smashed the Song Army's Lianke several cities on the North Bank of the Yellow River.

Yang Wenguang stood in front of the terrain of Hedong Road and thought hard for a long time, and He Shao also thought hard, but Yang Wenguang was thinking about the real intention of the Liao army, and He Shao was thinking about how to understand this kind of map.

Where there is a city, draw a small frame, where there are mountains, draw a small circle that says Taihang Qilian, where there are rivers, draw a small wavy line, and where there are roads, also draw a wavy line. As for how to walk When you don't go to the river, you can only distinguish it by yourself. Just such a map was listed as a military top secret by Yang Wenguang.

"The actions of the Liao army are like headless flies wandering around the territory of Hedong Road, and they can't understand the rules at all." Yang Wenguang, who is familiar with the art of war, still can't guess the real intention of the Liao army.

"Can you explain to me what this map is all about!"

"This is the third pass, and my father's [-] troops are stationed here, but the Liao army did not attack the third pass, but bypassed here and directly entered the hinterland of Guannan. Isn't the Liao army afraid of being attacked by the enemy?
It is a big taboo for military strategists to go deep into the enemy's territory and divide troops, but now the Liao army is divided into three routes, one goes north to Gaoyang Pass, one goes southeast, and the third goes south."

"Could it be that the commander of the Liao people doesn't understand the army formation?" He Shao asked.

"Impossible, there are many famous generals in the Liao Army, and Xiao Talin, the king of the North Academy, is the number one general in the Liao Kingdom. My grandfather was captured by this man and died on a hunger strike!"

Yang Wenguang felt very depressed when he mentioned this past event, and determined to wash away the humiliation of Tianbo Mansion.

When Yang Wenguang received the military order, he immediately understood the true intention of the Liao army, and found a place on the map, Yingzhou, which was only a hundred miles away from them.

"It's still my father who guessed that the next target of the Liao army is Yingzhou!"

"Is Yingzhou a strategically important place?" He Shao asked.

"Yingzhou has never been a strategic location, but every year the tax from East Road will be transported to Kaifeng City through the transshipment company"

"Don't tell me that Yingzhou is where the East Road Transit Department is located." He Shao gave a shiver.

"You guessed it right." Yang Wenguang also smiled wryly.

Not long after the Autumn Fu was received, the place where the Transshipment Department is located is a huge warehouse. It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep into the Liao army alone. What is needed most now is a place where they can safely store food and grass for the large army and repair it before fighting again. Ying Zhou just agrees with all the conditions.

"The chief general of the Liao army is indeed not an ordinary person"

Even He Shao had to lament that the Liao army mainly marched quickly along the way, and would withdraw decisively if the battle went a little bit wrong, and didn't care whether they would be encircled or not. Xiao Talin had already estimated the transportation of food and grass Time is stuck at this time to win Yingzhou!

After Yang Yanzhao realized the Liao army's intentions, he did not leave Sanguan but ordered all over the country to rush to help. The support troops are blocking the periphery of Guannan, even if they can't stop them, they will harass them, and the army in the middle road has only one goal when they go south, to break through Yingzhou!

If the Liao army captured Yingzhou and obtained a huge supply, they would no longer have to worry about food and grass, and would be able to fight the Song army unscrupulously in Guannan.

"Is there no garrison in such an important place?"

"Of course there is. The [-] Tianxiong Army stationed there is the forbidden army in the entire Guannan, second only to the Polu Army."

"Then why are you still so nervous?"

"It's Fu Qian who is deploying the Xiongjun this day, and it's this person that my father is worried about.

This person is the counselor of His Majesty's Qianfu, because of his good writing, he has been promoted many times, and now he is the highest military post in Zhongwu Jiedu in the entire Hedong Road. In name, even my father is his subordinate, but Fu Qian has no idea. The army is small and timid. Europe is prone to big problems. "

He Shao knew that the emperors of the Song Dynasty often used civil servants to limit the power of generals in the army, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous, that someone who didn't understand bullshit was actually the highest military commander in the entire Hedong Road?
"Assemble the army, set off immediately to Yingzhou"

In addition to the Xiang army brought back by He Shao, Kelan County has a total of [-] troops. Fortunately, morale is high now. Ever since they knew that fighting can make a fortune, each of these people is like a wolf and a tiger, wishing to take money from the Liao people. The next piece of meat will be exchanged for money.
