The morning light has not yet appeared, and it is still pitch black between heaven and earth. Thick clouds float in the sky, blocking the traces of the moon, leaving only the starlight that appears and flashes above the sky.

In the darkness, a team of up to 5,000 people was quietly walking on the winding mountain road. People held their heads, horses wrapped their hooves, bridles and chews tightly controlled the neighing of the war horses. Only the dense and low footsteps continued, accompanied by the rustling sound of the spring breeze blowing through the woods.

I didn't know how long I walked away with my head covered. The Guizhou, who was appointed by Wu Haogu, was in charge of Cao Yongyi (the governor and observe history were appointed by the court, so Wu Haogu's Republic of China "invented" many new names) then looked up at the sky, and it was still dark. It seemed that there was at least one hour before I could see the morning glow rising in the east sky.

Crossing the large forest on the front line in the dark is a very risky military operation. The 5,000 elite soldiers of the Cao family pulled out a slender formation of twenty or thirty miles on the narrow mountain road. Both sides of the road are hillsides and dense forests, which is simply the best terrain for ambushing. If two or three thousand enemies emerge from the darkness, the 5,000 Cao family soldiers may not be able to organize resistance!

However, Zhang Zhifeng and Wanyan Zonghan, who accompanied Cao Yongyi's march, were not worried about being attacked by the enemy at night. Because the previous "jungle battle" caused major casualties to the Xi people under Yelu Guanligu's command. There were more than 1,500 heads of armor sent to Changping County alone, and more than 100 Xi soldiers who were almost scared to death were captured alive and sent to Changping County.

Such a huge loss will definitely force the Khitans in Khan Prefecture to shrink their troops and give up fighting with the Youzhou army for control of Yanshan Mountain.

Sure enough, not long after, the scouts sent to wander around the Huailai Valley basically did not win, and there was no report of a war. This shows that Yelu Guanligu could no longer bear the losses and gave up the battle for the Yanshan forests.

The small hills, temples, canyons and other places where soldiers can be hidden have fallen into the hands of the Youzhou Army's scouts. Especially the mountain path from Changping to Huailai Valley is firmly under the tight control of the Youzhou Army's scouts.

With the cover of these scouts, it would be good to have the Liao soldiers huddled in the Huailai Valley, let alone ambushing and night attacks, to know that 5,000 Cao's soldiers had stolen Yanshan.

Of course, the operation of this surprise soldier stealing through Yanshan and directly into Huailai Valley cannot directly break through the military capital city that is stuck to the throat of the Youzhou army to the north, nor can he directly break through the Khan Prefecture City. The only direct consequence is that he can go around behind the Jundu Fortress, insert it between the Jundu Fortress and the Khan Prefecture City, and cut off the connection between the two.

However, the reserves in the military fortress cannot be less. Even if you are trapped in the dilemma of being surrounded, you can still rely on your abundant reserves to persevere for a long time.

Therefore, this roundabout interlude planned by the General Military Engineer of the Youzhou Army North Road only had a psychological effect on the Liao army in the military fortress.

However, Zhang Zhifeng believes that as long as the enemy in the army is surrounded, they will definitely choose to surrender soon!

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan looked at the so-called elite soldiers of the Cao family with a contemptuous look. But that's true! Compared with the young man, he was not an elite soldier at all, and he was even a little weak. The weapons can only be considered as sloppy, everyone has armor, but most of them are armored but armored. Spears, swords, shields and crossbows are equipped separately, with almost no bows and arrows. This shows that most soldiers can only master one weapon and do not have the ability to bear a variety of combat. What's even weaker is their physical strength, and they have to rest after walking for a while. They have to rest for almost two or three times in a night's march, and they don't carry any luggage and baggage, so they leave.

Such an army is no match for the young men who have given birth to the battlefield!

Their only advantage is that they have a large number of people... If the Jurchens could unite and take down the entire Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom, the population they controlled would probably not be less than that of Youzhou, right?

Cao Yongyi, who had just been named the capital of Guizhou, was worried about the debt he owed. In order to rectify his troops, purchase equipment, motivate soldiers, and pay various expenses required to occupy Guizhou, he could borrow a total of 700,000 usury loans!

700,000!

It is 200,000 more than the annual monies that were stolen from the Song Dynasty before the Great Liao Kingdom.

And a three-point profit per month is thirty-six cents a year, and the interest alone will be paid back 252,000 yuan...

Can the more than 700,000 mu of land in Guizhou receive 252,000 yuan in rent and taxes a year?

What if you defeat it?

Do you really go to jump to Nankai Tower? This is really a strange story. The leader of the army was unable to repay the loan shark after he was defeated and jumped off the building!

This way of death can be used in "History of the Song Dynasty".

No! Cao Yongyi pulled his beard hard and thought: You can't jump off the building, you can't jump off the building if you lose all! If you really lose all, you will run away and go to the newly opened Shanghai Commercial Market to hide. He still has some capital in his hand, so he can buy a piece of land and do some business.

That's how it was decided!

When Cao Yongyi finally made up his mind, a sentry detective rushed from the front. The cavalry of the Cao family's personal guards were all wearing wart armor and riding tall Tianjin horses, which was easy to find. The detective reported his name on the periphery and was led by the personal guards to Cao Yongyi: "Everyone is in charge, there is Yuhuang Mountain in front, and there are no Liaogou people on the Yuhuang Mountain."

Finally arrived!

Cao Yongyi breathed a sigh of relief. According to the plan, after crossing Yanshan and entering Huailai Valley, he should set up a formation in Yuhuang Mountain first. Then he seeks a decisive battle with the defenders of Khan Prefecture City... If he wins the decisive battle, he can cut off the contact between Khan Prefecture City and the military capital.

"Start up!" Cao Yongyi passed his order to the queue, "You must rush to Jade Emperor Mountain before dawn!"

"Here!"

The Cao family man around him agreed loudly.

...

"What!? Song Gou's soldiers appeared on Jade Emperor Mountain?"

More than 20 miles southwest of Yuhuang Mountain, Han Qixian, who had just finished lunch, heard a terrifying news that made him scared.

"Whose soldiers are they?"

"Report to the governor, the Song army on Yuhuang Mountain is under the banner of the governor of Guizhou, Youzhou Town."

"Guizhou City is in charge of Cao..."

A Han family adviser reminded: "The lord should be the soldiers of the Cao family in Yizhou."

"Cao Yongyi..." Han Qixian shook his head, "I, Daliao, have never treated the Cao family unfairly!"

"Governor, the situation is forced! The Youzhou army is strong and the martial arts are good. The ancient style is also great... All the eight prefectures in the two prefectures of the Eight Prefectures have been sealed off. Such a work has been rare in ancient times!"

This strategist must not know that Cao Yongyi owed 700,000 usury loan sharks, and he was planning to run away!

But then again, Cao Yongyi is indeed fighting for his own territory, and there is no reason for the Republican government to spend too much. Otherwise, the Republican government would spend money to hire soldiers or summon knights, and the government would fight? The land was directly under the control and would not be granted the Cao family.

So although Cao Yongyi borrowed usury, he could only choose between winning the money, jumping off the building after going bankrupt, running away to hide from debt. There is no complaint.

Han Qi glared at his adviser first. Isn’t this guy just to make his master betray the Liao Dynasty and go to build a state to be the capital? In this way, the advisers, disciples, and dead soldiers under the Korean Qi can also reach a level.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door again. A confidant Han Qixian's death soldier came in. After arriving at the military capital, he brought more than a dozen other death soldiers to supervise the battle at the city gate.

"How?" Seeing the dead soldiers supervising the battle, Han Qi immediately became nervous, "Is the Song people's army approaching?"

This is very certain. There are Youzhou military horses on the Yuhuang Mountain behind your butt, and there will be no one coming from the front of the military capital?

"Mr. Zhifu, a classmate and friend of the governor, has arrived."

"Yu Zhifu?"

Yu Zhifu's wife is a name, and the name of this person is Yu Zhongwen. He is also a child of the Yu family in Wuzhou. He studied Confucianism with Han Qixian for a few days under Murong Wangyou. He was a classmate. When Yan land was occupied by Wu Haogu, he was an official in Xijin Prefecture and did not escape. Later, Yu Zhongwu, who was also from the Yu family in Wuzhou, led his troops to join the Song Dynasty. So everyone thought that Yu Zhongwen also surrendered to the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that he would return today.

"Come on your behalf!"

Yu Zhongwen is forty years old this year, with a white face and a long beard, dressed in a scholar. However, he did not come empty-handed, but brought ten large suitcases, all of which were carried vigorously and placed into the inner hall of Korean Qixian.

"Brother Husband, what is this?"

Yu Zhongwen stroked his beard and smiled: "This is the harvest of Brother Yu in Xijin Prefecture City, and it is the secret of the demonic magic of the Song people breaking the city!"

"What!?" Han Qi was stunned, "The secret of the demonic magic? I'm a man, you have made meritorious service to the country!"

Yu Zhongwen nodded with a smile and looked around again.

The Korean company first understood and left the trusted adviser to repel the others.

As for a secret, of course it must look like a secret.

"Look?" Yu Zhongwen smiled.

"have a look!"

"Okay!" Yu Zhongwen spoke, and then moved quickly, opening ten secret suitcases one by one.

It was suddenly golden!

All ten suitcases are gold!

A total of ten thousand taels!

"This is..." Han Qi was a little stunned. Is this gold? What does this mean?

"This is what the King of Beiping gave you." Yu Zhongwen smiled, "Ten thousand taels of gold, and there is one Yizhou capital in charge! How about it? Can I change to the Military Capital?"

A bare-fruit bribery!

It turned out that Yu Zhongwen had long been surrendered to Wu Haogu, and today he came to persuade him to surrender as a lobbyist. The Jundu Castle is solid, and there are many forts built on the mountain, which cannot be reached by cannons. Therefore, "truth" is not very useful, so "demon technique" has to be used.

After learning that Han Qi had left the capital of Zhenjun first, Yu Zhongwen immediately volunteered to become a lobbyist and persuaded him to surrender.

The condition for persuading surrender is 10,000 taels of gold, plus one Yizhou!

Of course, Yizhou has to conquer it by itself. If the military expenditure is not enough, you can also borrow usury!
