Liangzhou City can't be obtained, Li Xian is still more practical, he doesn't want to offend people like Wang Xu for no reason, and the black pot can't be carried by himself. He wants to listen to the tone of the colt, see if he can save the relationship between the two sides, and by the way, shirk some responsibilities that should not belong to him.

"Oh, Master Li, I have been looking up for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful. If it weren't for the arrow wound, the official should have gone to Wusheling to greet the adults, forgive me. ”

As soon as the two sides met in Hong Tao's tent, Li Xian's heart was cold. The colt smiled so heartily that he was as happy when he saw himself as he was when he saw the eldest princess. This shows that people hate themselves to the core, and they don't plan to have a serious conversation at all, which is completely perfunctory.

"Lord Duwei said this, which made the official more and more embarrassed, Lanzhou is only ten days away, and he should have come to help early, but he was short of food and grass, and he almost missed a big event. Do you know who this grain officer is? It all made the official embarrassed, and he was actually a relative of the Qian family's uncle and nephew. How can such a heavy responsibility be overlooked, this official will definitely play the Holy Shrine to strictly investigate this matter, and the wind of personal vendetta in the communiqué must not rise! ”

The more Wang Shu is like this, the more Li Xian has to pretend that he can't see it, he has to say what he should say and what he shouldn't say, even if he can't reduce his hatred for himself, he has to pull a few cushions.

"I see! Annoying, hateful! We are fighting bloody battles on the front line for the country, and there are people in the DPRK and China who declare personal vendettas, where is Your Majesty! Where to put the Great Song! Where are the people of Limin! Where are the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country! Master Li might as well tell their names to the official, and the official will return to the court to present to His Majesty, and he will definitely seek justice! Come on, prepare the horses! Hiss...... I ...... hurt me."

Li Xian would not believe a word even if he said smallpox, and Li Xian was not entirely to blame for this matter, and whoever sat in that position would be treated like this. But don't think about bluffing yourself with words, I am also good at the craft of pretending to be a grandson, let's dress to see who is more alike.

"Ahh Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Leaving the border without permission is also a big crime, if you are impeached by the imperial history, it will not make your relatives and enemies happy. It's not as good as this, the captain will temporarily return to Huangzhou City to recuperate, and make a decision after the official plays the imperial court. ”

It is rumored that the Dudao horse Wang Shu behaves and speaks differently than ordinary people, and this time Li Xian has experienced it once. What is this talking about, I didn't understand it all after listening to it for a long time.

But the core meaning is understood, he wants to go to the emperor to complain, which is a bit too shameless. You demolished Liangzhou City, and you had to beat a rake and say that it was not good for us to rescue. And you have to carry this lawsuit by yourself, which is really not understandable or pretending to be confused.

But no matter what, the mad colt must be stabilized now, and what will happen to him after the battle. Use this time to ask those people, you guys have a bad idea for a long time, and now you have shown whose responsibility is bearable, don't expect to let Lao Tzu take the thunder. Otherwise, I will go to the emperor with the horse to complain, and no one will think about it!

"Withdraw to Huangzhou...... That's good! This city was taken from the hands of the Xia people with the lives of the three armies of the officials, and it is impossible to let go of it when handed over to others. But Lord Li has made great achievements on Xihe Road, so please ask Lord Li. The north of the city is no longer able to camp, and it is full of large pits where the corpses of the Xia people are buried. The eastern part of the city is flat, so why don't you choose there? ”

If Li Xianzhen agreed to garrison Hongtao in Liangzhou City, he really couldn't rob it, which could be regarded as a gamble, to see if this eunuch who could fight had the courage to admit his mistakes and correct them.

As long as he dares to agree, he dares to forgive him, regardless of his previous suspicions, all the cattle and sheep are not said to him, and it is no problem to bear the rations of 10,000 people.

"Liangzhou cannot be defended, there is no danger here and it is located in the enemy territory, if it were not for Wang Houwang to drag the Western Xia army in Zhuo Luocheng, the post road here is still unstable. Now that the city wall has been destroyed, the Xia people can no longer use it, which is not a bad thing, and this merit should be recorded in the surprise attack of Lord Duwei. It's just that this official doesn't know how 3,000 Huangzhou soldiers can defeat tens of thousands of Western Xia troops, and he still hopes to solve his doubts. ”

Don't be funny, Li Xian doesn't want to wipe someone else's buttocks. You go back to Huangzhou to recuperate, eat and drink, and I will take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to gnaw the grass here!

But there is one thing that needs to be figured out, how did Liangzhou City take it? A sneak attack is possible, but in the face of more than ten times the enemy army, how can you hold it?

"It's all about the lives of the three armies and the favor of God, Lord Li doesn't know that the process of this battle is extremely tortuous and bizarre...... Come on, prepare food and drinks. ”

How did I tell you how this battle was fought? But it's not appropriate to say it at all. Hong Tao simply began to make up stories, or mythological stories. In order to make the story sound more believable, you have to tell it while drinking. Two glasses of high horse wine, even if he says that he is Lei Zhenzi, some people believe it.

An hour and a half later, Li Xian, who was flushed and burped, couldn't even remember how he returned to the Chinese army, and his mind was full of stories from the Fengshen List and Journey to the West, and he was still sandwiched between the Lord of the Rings fragments.

I have to say that he drinks really well, and his mind is quite sober, but he always feels that the world is spinning, and his tongue is a little big.

"Give the order, go down, and immediately set off to return to Jisang City......" After listening to Li Zhong's report that he could not find half of the living people nearby, Li Xian immediately issued an order to withdraw the troops.

Instead of being frightened here and always guarding against the three directions of the northeast, the west, it is better to return to Jisang City, go north to help defend Wusheling, and go south to attack Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division with Wang Hou. As long as Wusheling is not lost, there will be no Western Xia reinforcements coming from the north, and they can fight wholeheartedly, and they can also get effective supplies from Lanzhou.

But when passing through Wusheling Ridge, another strange scene happened, a lot of people came from the direction of Huangzhou, and it stretched for more than ten miles, and there was no end in sight.

They actually wanted to go north to Liangzhou City through the Wusheling Mountains, why did they go? Li Xian didn't ask, because he was already asleep at this time.

Li Zhong asked, the people are indeed from Huangzhou, there are Song people and Tibetan people, and they all go north for one purpose, to buy the spoils of the horse Wang Xu, they can't tell what it is or don't want to say it at all.

This matter has nothing to do with Li Zhong, the coach sleeps very soundly, and it is simply not a big deal, that colt likes to toss and toss, no matter how much you toss a ruined city, it is in vain.

In fact, if he had left a little later, he would have seen a huge convoy and the water tiger wings in charge of escorting the convoy.

Wang Guan also arrived in Huangzhou, if it was in normal times, he would unload the goods in Huangzhou or Mawei City and return directly, but this time his convoy not only contained ordnance from Weiqiao Town, but also rice transported by sea from the Wang family.

The grain did not follow, but the representative of the Wang family, that is, his second uncle Wang Hao, came, and brought three grandchildren of the Wang family, all of whom were about six or seven years old.

This is the student promised by the colt to come and learn the art of navigation. In addition, Wang Hao also wanted to meet this legendary crazy horse, but he didn't see him, and some things were not very practical after all.

But after seeing Miao Kui in Huangzhou, I heard that the horse actually took the Huangzhou soldiers to beat down Liangzhou, the capital of Western Xia, and would not come back in a short time, and was buying prisoners of war and livestock in Liangzhou at this time.

In the meaning of the crown, Lord Shuaiji is so busy, so he will simply find time to meet in the future. He really doesn't want to go to the battlefield, everyone has agreed, and the colt has no bad deeds in terms of credit, so what difference does it make if he doesn't see each other.

But Wang Hao didn't agree, forcing Wang Guan to go to Liangzhou. In addition to meeting this business partner, he also had to buy more slaves to go back, and if he couldn't afford to buy some cattle and sheep, he would be fine.

In addition to carrying pig iron, the ships carrying grain also need to procure goods. As a businessman, you must not return empty-shipped, not too small or too troublesome, and pull whatever you want to make money.

"Guan'er, when you go to Liangzhou this time, you must have a lot of good words with Lord Shuaisi, how many slaves and cattle and sheep our Wang family wants, and the price is easy to say." Looking at the fellow travelers of the group of three and five gangs along the way, Wang Hao's face was full of sadness.

Slaves were in a period of extinction in the Northern Song Dynasty, not that there were none, but there were fewer and fewer of them. The Northern Song court also discouraged the use of slavery, but it did not completely eliminate slavery legally.

In large cities such as Kaifeng, Luoyang, Chang'an, and Hangzhou, there were very few slaves, and even the families of convicts were no longer slaves. But there are still slaves in some places, such as in ethnic minority areas, and in some maritime merchants.

Some of the sailors who went to sea were like slaves, and most of them voluntarily entered into lifetime employment contracts because of debts, thus losing their personal freedom.

Although this kind of contract is illegal under the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it has become a common practice in some places or industries, and local officials will turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.

The Wang family is a maritime merchant family, and they also have slave-like shipwrights in their own families, how can they not understand the advantages and disadvantages of slaves. As long as the price is right, no matter where they come from or whether they understand Chinese or not, even if they don't need so much at home, it is a big profit to sell them to their peers.

Or simply sell it to the Pu family, whose ships are mostly slaves and in high demand. If grain can be brought in, and then exchanged for pig iron and slaves, then the royal family will make a lot of money. Both goods are the most scarce commodities in the coastal areas, and they are scarce and expensive.

"Uncle, this Lord Wang is not easy to get along with, you can answer whatever he asks, and you must not have bad intentions. Didn't my nephew tell you, my lord is a star monarch, and he can't hide anything from his eyes, and don't think about it. The Lord Miao in Huangzhou City privately told his nephew that this time Lord Shuai Si killed forty or fifty thousand Western Xia troops in Liangzhou, and the river water was dyed red, presumably it was possessed by the Heavenly Evil Star again! "The crown is not preoccupied with buying and selling, but with the number of dead people all the time, and he can't sleep well at night.
