: A big vote

Qi Dabao's face was full of red light, full of excitement, as if he was injected with chicken blood, as if he was singing: "If we take this place down, we will have a lot of war horses."

The Song Dynasty lacked war horses. If more than 10,000 or 20,000 war horses could be seized, it would be a great thing and would cause a sensation. When this matter was mentioned, not only Qi Dabao was excited, but even Huangfu Song's eyes widened. The little stars in his eyes clenched into a fist, and he shouted: "Okay! OK! OK! This time, we must do a big vote!"

Although the Khitans were nomadic peoples, they had half a desert and had many war horses. In theory, there was no need to concentrate war horses in Yanyun. The main reason was that Yanyun was an agricultural area and there were not many horses produced here. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom would set up some horse farms in Yanyun to reserve war horses.

The land of Yanyun borders the Song Dynasty and is the most intense place of war between the two countries. It is inevitable to prepare for various wars.

"Yeah!" If you can kill this horse farm, there will be many benefits. Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has the route been found? This place is a bit far from our conversion, more than a thousand miles away. Most of them must be passed in the territory of Liao. It is very difficult. If there is no route, it will be difficult to succeed."

The Liao Kingdom's horse farm is in Laishui, and it is more than a thousand miles away from the Congregation. It is very difficult to not disturb the Liao Kingdom with such a long march. If you don't understand the route, it will be impossible to complete it. Not only will it not be completed, but you will lose yourself. Wu Ji will not do such a loss.

"Yes!" Huangfu Song nodded and looked at Qi Dabao, very nervous and expectant. What he was nervous was afraid that Qi Dabao would not have grasped the information in this regard. Of course, what he was looking forward to was that Qi Dabao mastered the situation.

"This..." Qi Dabao raised his eyebrows and pondered.

"What? You didn't find the path?" Huangfu Song was very disappointed.

It is impossible to start from Congxin and fight all the way to Laishui. No matter how strong the Congxin Army is, after all, there are not many people, and it is impossible to fight for a long time when entering the territory of Liao. The best countermeasure is the best solution. A piece of fat meat is right in front of you, but it is impossible to eat it in your mouth, and anyone will be disappointed.

Wu Ji waved his right hand to stop Huangfu Song from complaining, and said, "Let him think about it."

Huangfu Song stared at Qi Dabao tightly, and he wanted to speak several times, but he still didn't say it out loud, allowing Qi Dabao to think about it.

"I have it!" After a while, Qi Dabao slapped his forehead and said, "Commander Wu Du, we can do this. Starting from Guixin, we will not enter the Liao territory first, but walk west along the mountain, come here, near Ansu Army, and then north, enter the Liao territory, and go straight to Laishui."

He said, his fingers slashing on the map, and Wu Ji looked in the direction of his fingers. The route he mentioned was marching longer, but it could reduce the time spent in Liao territory and keep it more confidential.

If you don’t march like this, you will start directly from Congxin and head straight to Laishui, it will be more than a thousand miles in Liao territory, which is very unsafe. If you follow the route of Qi Dabao, you will only be four or five hundred miles in Liao territory. At the speed of cavalry, you can arrive in one day, and the possibility of exposure will be greatly reduced.

"Can we walk in the mountains most of the time?" Huangfu Song looked solemn: "The terrain in the mountains is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once the Liao army is discovered, only a few hundred people will be needed, and our entire army will be wiped out."

That is Taihang Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous. If you want to march in Taihang Mountain, it is easy to block the road. Once the Liao army is blocked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This route is fine." Qi Dabao did not answer Huangfu Song's question: "This route is a private trade route for merchants from both countries. It can not only pass by people, but also transport goods. It is not too difficult to walk. The time we pass will be greatly shortened."

The Song and Liao dynasties set up gates on the borders and traded there. However, the things traded in gates are openly, and some things are forbidden items, which requires smuggling. Smuggling merchants naturally need to find new routes to avoid finding them in the government.

Some of the smuggled items were manipulated by the court, such as war horses. The Song Dynasty needed war horses too much. If it was purchased from the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom would ask for a huge price, and the Song Dynasty would complete it through smuggling. Although the problem was not fundamentally solved, it was also alleviated. The Song Dynasty had been doing smuggling horses for a long time.

"If this is the case, it will be much easier!" Wu Ji made the decision: "Let's go this route. Although the itinerary is a little longer, it is safer and not easy to be exposed."

Never do business that loses money. This is Wu Ji's principle. He would rather walk more than expose him.

"In this case, we can dress up as merchants, set out in batches, and meet in Liao territory." Huangfu Song was busy giving his ideas.

"It's so confusing!" Wu Ji thought so, and agreed with Qi Dabao.

"You can lead some people to set out first, understand the route here, and then control the dangerous place, and then follow up and enter the Liao territory in one fell swoop." Wu Ji clenched his fist with his right hand and gave a plan.

It is Wu Ji's principle that he wants to win and lose first. It is Wu Ji's principle. Wu Ji cannot put the Converted Army in danger. He first sent people to find out the situation along the road, and to control the dangerous place to ensure the safety of the army. This is very necessary. Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao had no objection.

"Commander of Wu, I will lead 300 people to set out first." Huangfu Song asked for his order.

"You can't go. I'll go." Qi Dabao rushed and said, "We have some branches in this area of ​​Qiyun Club. I can contact you by the way. With their help, we will have greater confidence in success."

"Okay! It's a blessing for you." Wu Ji agreed.

Qi Dabao was very excited and immediately led the 300 Converted Army, disguised as a caravan, and set off. Wu Ji and Huangfu Song began to prepare. With an order, Converted began to prepare dry food and prepare for departure at any time.

This trip to Liao territory is more than 2,000 miles, and it takes about ten days to go. Each person prepares half a month of dry food.

With Wu Ji's efforts, everything went in an orderly manner. Three days later, Qi Dabao heard news that he had controlled the route. Wu Ji left behind two hundred Converted Army to train the Western soldiers and led the rest of Converted Army to set off.

The convertible army set out in two batches, with different numbers of people in each team. They either pretended to be merchants, grooms, martial artists, or pedestrians, and were all able to dress up.

Wu Ji led 300 people to set off. He dressed up as a wealthy businessman, wearing gorgeous silk and a headscarf, and looked a bit rich, which made the soldiers' eyes lit up and kept joking.

After leaving Guixin City, march along Taihang Mountain. Here, it is still in the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to worry too much about the leak of the news. Of course, it is not only the merchants of the Song Dynasty, but also the Khitans who smuggled, so it is also necessary to prevent leaks.

Before we walked far, we saw a team of forty or fifty people coming. The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing silk, a beard under his chin, holding a fan in his hand, riding on the horse, and shouting, asking his subordinates to be faster.

When this man saw Wu Ji, he waved his fan in his hand. His subordinates stopped quickly. The martial artist pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and looked at Wu Ji and the others vigilantly. It was obvious that robberies often occur on this road, such as black eating and black eating.

Wu Ji's group is tall and very powerful, and they are all imposing. They can't do it if he is not nervous.

"Let's go!" Wu Ji nodded at the man, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and left with the Converted Army.

Seeing Wu Ji and the others leaving, the man breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Such a big man is so strong. Is he the prince in the court or an adult?"

"Are they going to get a horse?" Some servant talked too much.

"Look at this, I should be the high-ranking official of the court." The man twitched his lips: "On this road, I often meet people from the court, just to get horses. Although the horses they sell to the court are cheaper than on the market, they are not much cheaper. All the money is earned by these people."

Although the war horses obtained by smuggling were cheaper than those sold to the Song Dynasty by the Liao Kingdom, they would not be cheaper. Because, it requires major forces to do this. These major forces bought them at low prices and sold them at high prices, and they still earned money from the Song Dynasty.

"The court is the same. If we are allowed to sell it to the court, the price will be much lower." Another muttered.

"Hmph! That's a collusion between officials and businessmen. Like ours, how can we get to the government office?" The middle-aged man was very dissatisfied. He waved his hand and took his subordinates away.

In the Song Dynasty, smuggling war horses was a huge profit-making industry. How could the high-ranking businessmen let go of those high-ranking officials and prominent businessmen? These small businessmen would definitely not be able to get involved.

Wu Ji led the Conversion Army to move forward. From time to time on the road, he would meet merchants, rushing horses, or other goods, and hurrying away. Every time he met a group of people, he was always very alert, as if Wu Ji and the others were robbers who wanted to eat bad things.

Wu Ji was very understanding of their feelings and did not care about them.

This smuggling route was really popular, and Wu Ji was very surprised. The more he did this, the more confident Wu Ji was about this operation. This shows that the Liao Kingdom turned a blind eye to this smuggling route. They also needed a lot of goods from the Song Dynasty, but they were not sold by the Song Dynasty Ming ordered them to be.

Along the way, whenever they encounter dangerous places, they will find a Converted Army. They are hiding in the dark and staring at the dangerous places. If the Liao army comes, they will occupy it as soon as possible.

Wu Ji was very satisfied with Qi Dabao's handling.

One day later, Wu Ji left Taihang Mountain and met with Qi Dabao. When Qi Dabao saw Wu Ji, he smiled and said, "The commander of Wu Du, the Liao dogs in Laishui have no abnormal movements. We will definitely gain a lot when we go this time."

"That's good." Wu Ji was very happy.

"Commander Wu Du, can you see someone?" Qi Dabao hesitated for a moment before speaking out.

"Who is it?" Wu Ji was a little surprised, and his thoughts changed and asked, "Is it the leader of your Qiyun Club?"

"It's our leader, he wants to discuss something with you." Qi Dabao said.

"The leader of Qiyun Club?" Wu Ji was a little surprised.
