() Because of the matter of the envoy from the Liao Kingdom, Song Qing's itinerary had to be delayed, and all his thoughts were put on it.

Liangshan is too short of war horses, and can't pin its hopes on Wanyan Baokang's promise, and the sales of businessmen such as Ma Tao are just a drop in the bucket.Therefore, if this matter is achieved, it will greatly improve Liangshan's combat effectiveness.

There is no shortage of armor Liangshan, but compared with these well-made Xixia goods, it is completely incomparable. It is something that money can't buy.So Song Qing is bound to win this batch of armor.

Cao Zheng knew that the matter was of great importance, so he personally dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the routes traveled by the envoys of the Liao Kingdom.According to Song Qing's words, this is not only a matter of Liangshan, but also the Hanjian Dynasty. If you can seek refuge in the Liao Kingdom, you can also seek refuge in the Jin Kingdom.

In the future, if Jinbing is led by these people, it will be able to touch the Central Plains without anyone noticing.So Song Qing must find them, not only for the people of the Central Plains, but also for the future safety of Liangshan.

Yeluqi was under house arrest on the mountain, unaware that Song Qing had bought him.

After Wu Yong put forward the idea, Song Qing perfected it, and simply sent people to go straight to the capital with beating gongs and drums all the way, exaggerating the Liao people's attempt to buy Liangshan infinitely. , was also propagated.

Of course, what was sent to the capital was the news that Yeluqi would be handed over to the imperial court.But this can only be done after Song Qing knows the news about the batch of materials.

Tian Xingfang, the trainer of the Xin'an Legion, has been a little annoyed recently. His annoyance comes from a mysterious guest who has just been sent away.

The Xin'an Army borders the Liao Kingdom, and sixty miles away is the Liao Kingdom's Yongqing County.There used to be a lot of Liao soldiers stationed there, but since the war between Jin and Liao, almost all the soldiers have been taken away.

In fact, this has nothing to do with him, as long as he guards his own jurisdiction.The problem is that he was bought by Liao merchants many years ago, and the mysterious man who just arrived not only knew everything about his vote for Liao, but also threatened him to report the matter to the court if he did not obey the order.

Tian Xingfang only accepted gold and silver from Liao merchants, not to mention treason. The reason why he was willing to accept gold and silver from Liao people was because he knew that he was not alone in this kind of thing. Many generals on the border and those Liao merchants There is collusion.

Most of the Liao merchants bought these generals just to facilitate smuggling, but this kind of thing is an open secret, everyone knows it well, but it must not be said.If the court finds out, it will cost your head.

He also wanted to take down that person, but after knowing the identity of that person, he didn't dare to do it again, because that person came from the Jin Kingdom, which is now in full swing and almost wiped out the Liao Kingdom.

Fortunately, the Jin people didn't make Tian Xingfang do anything difficult, as long as he was ready at any time.Tian Xingfang is not only greedy for money, but also afraid of death.What's more, now that the pigtail is in the hands of others, he dare not disobey.

The Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song Dynasty were allies, so Tian Xingfang still doesn't believe that the Jin soldiers will fight over, but he is not stupid. It is impossible for the Jin people to come to threaten him for no reason, and I am afraid that what he is asked to do in the future will not be so simple.

While drinking at home, the soldiers came to report, and the owner of the Tongyuan shop asked to see him.

Tian Xingfang was taken aback when he heard the report, because the real owner behind the Tongyuan store was the Liao people.Every time Liao merchants came to him, although they were filial, they would also smuggle a batch of prohibited items out.

In normal times, Tian Xingfang would be very happy to see this person, after all he has no enmity with Yin Zi.But after the incident with the Jin people today, he unknowingly began to reject the Liao people.

"Just say I'm sick and nobody sees"

The soldiers agreed and turned to leave, but turned back after a while, and handed Tian Xingfang a gift list.

Gold 2000 taels.

Tian Xingfang was taken aback. Although there were gains every time, it was far worse than this time. It seemed that this was a big deal.

Rolling his eyes, he said to the soldier: "Go and ask him, what is it this time? What do we need?"

It is best to meet the Liao people now, so as not to be caught by others.

After a while, the soldiers came back again and told Tian Xingfang what the Liao merchant had said.

"What? It's not a transit, I just want to store a batch of war horses in my jurisdiction?"

Tian Xingfang was a little confused. It's not like no one had smuggled war horses before, but it was the first time that they were stored. What did the Liao people want to do?

After pondering for a while, he said, "Go and call him in, I'll ask him in person."

Smuggling war horses is already a capital offense, let alone storing them in one's own jurisdiction.He deliberately refused to agree, seeing that the gift from the other party was too heavy for him to refuse.In addition, he also wanted to know what the Liao people were going to do.

Tian Xingfang has been stationed in the frontier all the year round, and he knows very well about the battle of Jin and Liao. He knows that the current Liao Kingdom is just dying, and it has only been a few days.But at this time, they suddenly produced a batch of war horses, and they had to store them in their jurisdiction.No matter how you look at it, this thing is a bit weird.

This is not the time when the Liao Kingdom is strong, so Tian Xingfang doesn't have to pay attention to these Liao merchants, and he doesn't even have the intention of pretending to be sick.

Not long after, the soldiers came in with a middle-aged man.

The other party also seemed to know that Tian Xingfang was pretending to be sick, so even though Tian Xingfang was sitting there well, his expression didn't change at all.

He bowed and said: "Lu Gui, a grassroots man, has met General Tian."

Tian Xingfang sat there calmly, without any intention of getting up.After looking at this person coldly for a while, he said: "Who are you? Who are you going to store the horses with me? Don't you know that this is a capital offense?"

Tian Xingfang did not have the impression of this person in his memory, so he was not polite at all when he spoke.

The businessman named Lu Gui was not intimidated by Tian Xingfang, and smiled slightly: "Remember that General Tian didn't treat us Liao people like this before? The defeat on the battlefield is not the final result. Isn't General Tian afraid that one day I will grow up?" Liao revives his glory in the past, will he fight back?"

These insinuating remarks about Tian Xingfang's powerful villain made Tian Xingfang's face turn blue and red.

He slammed the table, stood up and yelled angrily: "Bold Liaogou, do you think the general dare not kill you? Come!"

Following Tian Xingfang's yell, more than a dozen guards with knives rushed in outside.

However, Lu Gui showed no sign of fear at all. He looked at Tian Xingfang with a sneer on his face and said, "General Tian, ​​aren't you afraid that your emperor will be accused of what you did?"

Damn it, another person is threatening me, won't I just charge you two worthless money?As for being talked about endlessly by you?

Hate to hate, Tian Xingfang is really afraid that he will be targeted by the court, because what he has done is not just collusion with smugglers?Withholding military pay, killing good men and taking meritorious service, etc.That one is not enough to lose your head?

He waved his hand and let the guards back out.He said coldly: "Say! What do you want me to do?"

Lu Gui smiled slightly and said: "Actually, this matter is of great benefit to the general. I know that there is a valley in the Kanjiaji area. As long as the general asks us to store the horses there for a few days, then we will Take it away, without anyone noticing, the 2000 taels of gold is still yours, why not do it? Besides, I will definitely win this battle, and I will definitely give credit to the general. Liao is rich all over the world, and the general will not be given the mere 2000 taels of gold at that time."

The Liao Kingdom counterattacked the Jin Kingdom, how could they hide their war horses in the Song Dynasty?

Tian Xingfang was completely confused, pondered for a moment and said, "Not far from Kanjiaji is the defense area of ​​the Baoding Army. Can you guarantee that you won't be discovered by them?"

"This matter will be resolved in the future. All the general has to do now is to sign the military order to release it."

Although the goal of the war horse is big, the buttocks of Tian Xingfang's men are not clean, they all have the same virtue as Tian Xingfang, as long as there is money to make, it doesn't matter what you transport back and forth?So Tian Xingfang is not worried that someone will report him.

Isn't it just a few days?I did it.

Tian Xingfang gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "You have to be quick, I can't guarantee that something will happen after a long time."

"General, don't worry, you won't make it difficult for the general"

After Lu Gui left, Tian Xingfang began to think again.

These horses should be equipped to support the Liao army, but how could there be people supporting the Liao army in the Song Dynasty?Could it be that I misunderstood?

The border between Song and Liao stretched for thousands of miles, and the Xin'an Army was just a single point, so despite the efforts of Liangshan's spies, they still couldn't find out immediately.

But is there an impenetrable wall in the world?

One of Tian Xingfang's personal soldiers had an affair with a maid in his mansion. After being discovered by Tian Xingfang, he was beaten up and thrown into prison.Unexpectedly, this soldier ran away.

For such a subordinate, Tian Xingfang didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know that this soldier already held a grudge against him, so he went to the Jiedushi Yamen in Bazhou to report Tian Xingfang's affair with the Liao people.

The Bazhou Jiedu envoy was shocked when he received the news. You must know that Tian Xingfang is not an ordinary person. He has nearly 2 people under his command.If he acts recklessly to force him back, the court will suffer a great loss.

Even Bazhou Jiedu envoys did not dare to deal with regiment training envoys like Tian Xingfang privately, so while mobilizing troops to prevent accidents, they urgently reported to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to make a quick decision on the matter, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

It was also this urgent report sent to the imperial court that finally let Song Qing know the exact location of these war horses.

But what's the use of knowing?The Xin'an army is not to mention thousands of miles away from Yunzhou. It is almost impossible to get all these horses back.

After hearing the news, even Wu Yong had the idea of ​​retreating, thinking it's better to forget it, and let's talk about the war horse later.

Song and Qing didn't think so, since the Liao people could send horses here, why couldn't we?

On the one hand, Cao Zheng was strictly ordered to continue to track down the officials who had colluded with the Liao State, on the other hand, he ordered Gao Jin to arrest Yeluqi, who was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and tortured him how to transport the horses here.

Song Qing's current behavior is no different from that of robbers, and Yeluqi scolded him in the same way when he was arrested.

Gao Jin only answered him coldly and told Yeluqi to shut up.

"We were originally robbers, have you forgotten?"
