Water Margin people

Taiyuan House.

Sun Lei looked at the trophies in front of him with a smile. The horses, armor, weapons, food and grass, all the equipment and supplies of the [-] Xixia army had been handed over. , Hexi war horse, that is an excellent thing.

"Don't be idle. Now that you have weapons and armor, train the recruits. Since you have joined the army, you should look like a soldier. I don't want bastards."

Pointing to the weapons and armor, Sun Lei told everyone that although the recruits are of good quality, training is still necessary. Now that people from Taiyuan Prefecture go to the city, they can train in the city.

"Brother, Yang Keshi is here!"

Deng Fei came to report.

"Yang Keshi? Is this guy in a hurry? Want to be a prisoner again?"

Sun Lei asked.

"No, he came alone, without any troops!"

Deng Fei said.

"Bring him in!"

Sun Lei nodded, it's fine if he didn't bring troops, but he discussed something, it would hurt peace if he used a sword.

"General Yang, I heard that you have defeated Tian Hu. Congratulations. You should be attacking Qinyuan now. Why are you so free? Come to visit me when you have time?"

Sun Lei looked at Yang Keshi with a smile.

"Chong Shuai wants to meet Chief Sun, this is the post!"

Yang Keshi didn't care what Sun Lei said, and sent the invitation directly.

"For Liu Fa?"

Sun Lei looked at the post and said with a smile, Zhong Shidao actually took the initiative to post the post, he couldn't think of other reasons except Liu Fa.

"Leader Sun will know when he goes."

Yang Keshi clasped his fists and left.

The next day, Sun Lei took Lu Zhishen and Wu Song to the south of Taiyuan Mansion, thirty miles away.

"Old general Zhong, we meet again!"

Sun Lei looked at Mr. Zhong not far away with a smile and said with a smile.

Zhong Shidao had a complex expression on his face, but he still clasped his fists and saluted.

"Old General Chong, let's get straight to the point. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Seeing that Master Zhong was hesitant to speak, Sun Lei knew that it was a bit uncomfortable for this veteran to talk to a thief like himself.

"Xixia made a condition that Liu Fa should be exchanged for Li Liangfu!"

Zhong Shidao sighed and said, at this moment, he felt very uncomfortable. They actually need to ask for a "bandit".

"Li Liangfu is the meat ticket I caught!"

Sun Lei emphasized that he is not under the jurisdiction of the court, and Li Liangfu cannot return it like this.

"You can set conditions!"

Zhong Shidao seemed to have expected that Sun Lei would say that.

"My condition for Xixia is one hundred thousand war horses!"

Sun Lei said.

"Impossible, no matter how much Li Qianshun likes Li Liangfu, it's impossible for Li Qianshun to produce [-] horses!"

Zhong Shidao immediately opened his mouth and said, Sun Lei is talking like a lion, and the Xixia people will never agree.

"I didn't say I couldn't bargain. Since it's a sale, if you want me to make an offer, of course they are allowed to bargain!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

He already knew about Li Liangfu's situation. The current emperor of Western Xia, Li Qianshun, succeeded to the throne at the age of three, and the power of the government has always been controlled by the harem and his relatives. More than ten years ago, Li Qianshun finally contacted a group of courtiers and nobles to kill his relatives and poisoned the Queen Mother Liang. Officially took control of Xixia power.

Among these courtiers and aristocrats, the most loyal to Li Qianshun and the one who fought the most fiercely was Li Liangfu. It can be said that Li Liangfu was Li Qianshun's most trusted general, and this is the value of Li Liangfu.

"How about this, let the Western Army open an opening, and I will talk to the Xixia people!"

Sun Lei looked at Zhong Shidao and said, since he wiped out the Xixia army, the Western Army has stepped up border defenses to prevent Xixia people from sneaking into the border again.

"You want to talk to the Xixia people?"

Zhong Shidao frowned and looked at Sun Lei.

"You can tell at a glance that you can't do business. Of course, you have to negotiate this business in person. Otherwise, how can you ensure that your interests are maximized?"

Sun Lei was speechless, Zhong Shi Dao is just a stubborn old man who doesn't know how to adapt at all, how can this business be done without talking about it?Are you waiting for the Xixia people to send money?

"Where do you want to open?"

Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Near Yinzhou is fine."

Sun Lei spoke directly.

"Yinzhou?"

Zhong Shidao's eyes are slightly squinted.

Yinzhou is an important town in the southeast of Xixia. It is located at the junction of the Suide Army and the Jinning Army. The Suide Army belongs to the Yongxing Army Road, and the Jinning Army belongs to the East Road. Yongxing Jun Road and Qinfeng Road area.

"Are you worried about a sneak attack from behind?"

Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their belly, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable! What's more, isn't that place close!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Is it impossible to have the intention of harming others?"

Zhong Shidao looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Haha, old general Zhong, I'm a rogue thief! Isn't it right to harm people? Don't you think I'm a bad guy?"

Sun Lei laughed out loud.

"I can only let the Suide army let go of the defense along the line, and the Jinning army is beyond my command."

Zhong Shidao said, he knew that he would not gain advantage in a verbal confrontation with Sun Lei.

Tong Guan told the court that Liu Fa disobeyed the military order and marched without permission, which led to the defeat and capture of the army, and he did not allow Zhong Shidao to send troops to rescue. The primary goal now is to destroy Tian Hu.

Zhong Shi did not dare to disobey the military orders, but everyone in the Western Army was worried about Liu Fa's safety, and no one in the army could bear to see death without saving his comrades for more than ten years.

"That's enough, Jinning Army, I'll just take care of it!"

Sun Lei smiled and led the people away.

"Chun Shuai, do we really count on Sun Lei?"

Yang Kebi looked at Zhong Shidao and asked in a low voice.

"Tong Guan doesn't allow me to start a war with Xixia, there is no other way!"

The teacher said shaking his head.

"It's clearly Tongxiang's order, why is the responsibility all pushed to Liu Fa?"

Yang Kebi's face was full of resentment, Tong Guan did this every time, commanding indiscriminately, disregarding the safety of the soldiers of the Western Army, taking credit for himself when he got credit, and pushing his subordinates when something happened.

"Be careful!"

Zhong Shidao let out a low shout, and led the people to Fenyang, they could only obey the military order.

"Shuai, it's not that I harbor resentment, who in the entire army is not dissatisfied with Tong Xiang's actions!"

Yang Kebi opened his mouth and said.

"Let's kill Tian Hu first!"

Zhong Shidao sighed. He also knew about these situations. Since Tong Guan took over, the Western Army suffered more and more casualties, and now many old faces are gone. This time, Tong Guan did not save Liu Fa. It is very big, and if it has been going on for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be weakened, everyone will be in danger, and the combat power will not be there.

……

"Brother, are we really going to change people?"

Deng Fei looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Who do you want to change? We're going to do business, do business! As thieves, we can't lose the ability to eat for kidnapping and extortion!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Brother, do you still want a horse?"

Deng Fei immediately understood what Sun Lei meant, that the war horse was stronger than Liu Fa.

"Let's see what tricks the Xixia people are playing!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, the Xixia people would definitely not give them one hundred thousand war horses, but it is also impossible to take out none of them.

"If you can bring [-] recruits and tens of thousands of horses back this time, then it's not a waste of time to come to Hedong."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Then this Western Xia bamboo stick has to be tapped hard!"

Deng Fei laughed and said, Sun Lei has never lost money in business. Didn't Liang Shanbo start his business by "kidnapping and extorting money" from the government in his early years?
