Chapter 697: The Robbers Are Coming

Wu Haogu's three straight capitals, Yu Housi, were located in a landlord's compound surnamed Wang. It is said to be a compound, but in fact, more than a dozen caves were dug on a hillside, plus a circle of rammed earth walls.

The cave group is fought from the bottom to the top along the hillside, and several large caves at the bottom are occupied by the staff of the capital department because of the convenience of entering and exiting, and have become the head of the three straight armies. And Wu Haogu, Olga and Bai Feifei's residence are placed in the cave on the top floor. It's a great place to stay, it's private, and it's very clean and comfortable.

When Wu Haogu arrived at the Wang's compound, a group of military Ji Yi was running through various caves and corridors, busy with order, and with slaughter in the order. It's really a bit like the command organ of the 30,000-strong army!

Wu Haogu's fake son and a group of raw girls Zhen Dangda were also crowded in the huge courtyard, all beaming, obviously harvesting a lot.

Seeing Wu Haogu coming in, his fake sons immediately stood up and saluted, and did not call him a righteous father, but like everyone else, they all called Wu Haogu "Xuanzan". This is Wu Haogu's special care, although everyone knows that these teenagers are private soldiers raised by Wu Haogu. But 200 fake people still sound a bit harsh...... Therefore, the identity of their Wu family's fake son is a "military secret" and must not be disclosed!

The Jurchens are much more casual, only smiling and shouting "Xuanzan", and they don't know what Xuanzan is? It's just a call. However, they are not disrespectful to Wu Haogu, and today's Shengnuzhen is still a tribal alliance, and there is not much respect and inferiority. It's the name of Wu Yashu, and everyone can call it directly.

Wan Yan Xian and Wu Tian were not here, and a fake son named Wu Chuan told Wu Hao that Gu Xian was also with Wu Tian on Zhao Zhongge's side, and there was an official surnamed Zhe with them.

When Wu Haogu arrived outside the main hall commanded by the military machine, he heard the sound of a quarrel coming from inside.

“…… Straight lady thief, master, I robbed it with my ability, why should I hand it over to you? You still say we didn't grab it well! ”

"You're going out of order! Fu Si has an order, let the armies be on guard, you don't listen, and cross the border for hundreds of miles, are about to break through to the Mida Cave, fortunately the west thieves are unprepared, otherwise more than 700 horsemen will be lost!

And this official did not ask you to hand over the cattle, sheep and horses, but only to ask you to hand over the people of the Tibetan tribe who had plundered......"

"Don't pay, don't pay! What we grabbed is our slave maid, you want, go and grab it yourself! ”

"Nonsense, that's the people of Tibet! You still want to loot them and sell them for money? ”

"It's not all sold, there is a mother-in-law who is good-looking and wants to be the wife of the master......"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter.

"Haha, how old are you kid, you miss your wife?"

"So big, do you want a mom or a wife?"

"Of course it's my wife! The young master is fifteen, and the next year will be sixteen......"

"Hahaha......"

The one who is arguing with me who doesn't know who is Wu Haogu's "chief fake son" Wu Tian, he seems to have grabbed a mother-in-law from the Fan Department and wants to keep it as his wife...... It's really the style of diviners! It seems that there is some truth to the argument that nature is inexorable.

Now 200 obstruction robbers and about 50 Jurchen robbers are together, and among them, there is also Wan Yan Xianye, the ancestor of the robbers, and the western thieves are afraid that they will be robbed and cry!

Wu Haogu frowned, coughed, and walked into the hall. Seeing Wu Haogu coming in, everyone went up to meet Wu Haogu, the general of the three armies. Among them, there is a young military attache in his twenties who Wu Haogu does not know, and he should be a Western military officer who came to complain.

"Xiaguan Zheyan quality, I have seen Wu Xuanzan."

Wu Haogu returned the salute: "It turned out that Zhezhonggu was here." ”

The reputation of Zheyan was heard by Wu Haogu when he was in Kaifeng Mansion. He is the son of Zhe Keshi, although he was born in Jiangmen, but he is also a descendant of Guan Xue, and has the reputation of the crown of Zhe.

Of course, Orihiko is not a pure literati. After all, he was born in a family of generals, and it is certain that he is both civil and military. And he also has a military attache from Jiupin, and he was also recruited by Tao Jiefu, who was in charge of Yan Yanlu.

"Xuanzan," Zhi Yanzhi frowned, obviously a little angry, "Your cavalry did not listen to orders, and the day before yesterday they broke into the territory of the Western Thieves for more than 100 miles, and they also burned and killed hundreds of Tibetan people. ”

"What's going on?" Wu Haogu asked left and right.

Wu Tian replied respectfully at this time: "If you return to Xuanzan, we touched the left side of Yinzhou along the Wuding River three nights ago, and we were bumping into a team of thieves from the west. After commanding Wanyan, he led people to arrest them, and after some torture, he learned that the thief realm was empty and unprepared. Therefore, his subordinates agreed with Commander Wanyan to enter the country at night to attack and disturb, but even a few villages were empty. All the way to the north of Yinzhou City, I met a team of western thief cavalry, about three or five hundred horsemen, but they couldn't fight, they rushed for a while and dispersed, killed a hundred or dozens of them, and cut off their heads and brought them back. I also captured a few prisoners, and after asking, I learned that I was close to the left of Mida Cave, and I also learned that there were several nearby villages of the Tibetan tribe (the Tubo and Qiang tribes living in the Hengshan and Wuding River valleys) that had oil and water. So he went along the way and robbed a handful, killed hundreds more, plundered hundreds more, and caught many cattle, sheep and horses. The subordinates also plundered a white and tender mother-in-law, who looked similar to Yan Po'er......"

It's about the same as Yan Po'er? Wu Haogu thought to himself: This is a? I can be your mother!

"Fold," Wu Haogu asked Folding, smiling, "What did the Tao envoy say?" ”

"Tao Envoy just asked your people to hand over the people of the Tibetan tribe," Zhi Yan said, "It is not in accordance with the rules to plunder the people of the Tibetan tribe as slaves and maids!"

In addition, the envoy also wanted to ask Xuanzan to go to Fushi County. ”

The Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty actually did a lot of burning and killing, but they would not openly plunder the people of Tibet as slaves. However, those false sons and daughters of Wu Haogu really dare to reach, but they live in a society where slavery is still very popular. It is only natural to take slaves from enemy countries when fighting......

"Got it." Wu Haogu nodded, and said to Brother Zhao Zhong who was present, "Brother Zhong'er, arrange for the people under the command of the third cavalry to rest first, and the captured prisoners should also be taken care of." ”

"Whoa!"

Brother Zhao Zhong answered, and greeted Yan Xian in Jurchen words, and Wu Tian also saluted Wu Haogu, and left with joy - I don't know if he went to hold hands with his?

Wu Haogu shook his head, and said to Zhi Yan: "Zhi Zhi, you wait a while, let's go see Tao Envoy together." ”

Orihiko asked, "What about those Tibetan prisoners?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "Let's discuss it when I see the envoy and the boy supervisor." ”

Consult? Orihiko said: What are you discussing?

Of course, the price was negotiated...... Gao Yu, who doesn't know how to do business, has already suffered a loss, how can a big profiteer who is a good ancient martial artist not negotiate the price with Tao Jiefu?

"More than 250 soldiers broke into the enemy's territory for hundreds of miles, beheaded 155, broke through several villages, captured hundreds of prisoners, and plundered thousands of cattle, sheep and horses...... Tong Daguan, do you think this is possible? ”

In the city of Fushi, after a little pacification, Tao Jiefu was not angry at all, because he was only shocked.

If these hundreds of horsemen broke into the territory of Huangzhou and Fanbu, it would be more like a real thing to achieve such a record. But this is Yan'an! They broke into the territory of the Western Thieves' Yinzhou, burned and looted all the way, and by the way, they broke a team of hundreds of Western Thieves' soldiers and horses, and killed them near the Mida Cave......

And what is even more exaggerated is that only three auxiliaries died, and none of the regular knights died!

The Imperial Knight is so capable of fighting?

Tong Guan shook his head: "It should be impossible...... But this was not directly reported by the Imperial Commander, but by the guide of the Western Army. ”

Yes, it's not a false report, because people didn't report it at all, it was reported by people from the Western Army. Is it necessary for them to make false claims for others?

"And ......," Tong Guan said, rubbing his beard and thinking, "and the territory of the Western Thieves is also empty, right?" From Yinzhou City to Mida Cave, there were only hundreds of horsemen to intercept it. ”

"That's right!" "They also watched the people of the Imperial Horse return with a full load...... How can a thief be so easy to bully? ”

"Could it be ......," Tong Guan said, "Could it be that the West Thieves have already withdrawn?" ”

"Withdrawn?" Tao Jiefu frowned, "They want to be strong and clear?" ”

"Mostly," Tong Guan said, "that's what they did when Yuanfeng was four years old!" ”

"Then we can't stupidly wait until March next year to join the army!" Tao Jiefu said, "If the western thieves collect all the grain and grass from the states of the Wuding River Valley, it will be difficult for our army to collect grain." ”

Western Xia has a lot of grain storage in the Wuding River and Hengshan area - the west of the Wuding River is hundreds of miles of Hanhai sandy land, if you want to carry grain across the Hanhai, Xixia will also encounter logistical bottlenecks. Therefore, they are accustomed to storing grain in the usual and secret places on the front line, and in the days when Tao Jiefu was an official in Yan'an Mansion, he has sent secret agents to find out several possible places to store grain. Just wait for the attack to start in March next year, and attack one of them, even if you can only get 100,000 stone of grain, it will be enough to relieve the pressure on the supply of the army.

"Why don't we send troops in advance!" Tong Guan said, "Let's build a fort where grain is stored first." ”

"This ......," Tao Jiefu frowned, "I'm afraid of luring all the soldiers of the Western Thieves over!" ”

According to the original plan, the next step of the battle should be launched by the Hexi Jingluo pacification envoy first, attacking Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan, and attracting western thieves to come to the west. Then the soldiers from Yanyan, Hedong, Huanqing, Jingyuan and other roads went out together and went straight to the cities in the Wuding River Valley.

However, if Yan Yanlu suddenly sent troops at this time, it was possible to expose the target and add obstacles to subsequent operations.

Just when Tao Jiefu hesitated, an announcement came from outside the door: "Envoy, Wu Xuanzan of the Sanzhi Forbidden Army has arrived." ”
