    Chao Yong looked at Yelu Dashi and said with a smile: "I wonder at what price Lin Ya is going to sell the war horse to us?"

    Yelu Dashi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Our country has always strictly prohibited the sale of war horses to the Central Plains. Even the Song Dynasty was unable to obtain a large number of good horses from the North. When I sell war horses to you, I also have to deal with many officials in the South Court. The price of this war horse is probably  More expensive.¡±

    Chao Yong smiled arrogantly and said: "Haha, when I rob states and houses in Liangshan, I have a lot of gold and silver. Lin Ya just asks the price."

    Yelu Dashi rolled his eyes, stretched out a finger, and said, "I won't bully you either. One horse has a hundred strings."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Ling Ya's price is probably a bit ridiculously high. Normally, a good horse in the North is only fifty pieces, but Lin Ya's price is doubled."

    Yelu Dashi shrugged helplessly and said: "To tell you the truth, the war on the northern front is getting more and more tense, and war horses from Nanjing Road are constantly being sent to the front line. Moreover, the King of the South Campus has ordered the states along the border to seal the borders tightly to prevent war horses.  Loss. I believe that Guizhai will still be able to obtain war horses from our country, and the cost will probably increase a lot."

    Yelu Dashi¡¯s implication is that if he doesn¡¯t buy horses from him, he will intensify border patrols in the future.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's it, the price offered by Lin Ya is a bit too high. I think a sixty pigeon is enough."

    Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "One hundred strings."

    "Seventy Guan"

    "One hundred strings"

    "Eighty Guan"

    "One hundred strings"

    "Eighty Guan"

    "One hundred strings"

    Chao Yong shook his head helplessly and said: "When Lin Ya refuses to let go, I'm afraid this business won't work. If Lin Ya has nothing else to do, Chao Yong will leave."

    Seeing that Chao Yong kept silent about the matter, Yelu Dashi looked like he was in pain, gritted his teeth and said: "You and I each take a step back, a horse has ninety points."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Eighty Guan is a sky-high price. If the village leaders know about it, I'm afraid they won't be able to object. If it takes longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince them."

    Yelu Dashi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, eighty strings is eighty strings."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I wonder how many horses Lin Ya can trade at one time?"

    Yelu Dashi thought for a moment and said, "If there are too many transactions at one time, too many people will be disturbed, so we will tentatively set the number at 500 horses. How about that?"

    Although Chao Yong still felt that it was a bit lacking, he also knew that Yelu Dashi must have sold the Liangshan war horses with other purposes, and he would not really send the war horses to the Central Plains in large quantities.  Five hundred horses is already considered a large amount for the Central Plains, which has always had few horses.

    "Okay, I will send someone to agree with Lin Ya on the time and place of the transaction later."

    Yelu Dashi took off a silver medal from his body, threw it to Chao Yong, and said: "Take my token to enter the country, and someone will naturally lead them to see me."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, happy cooperation."

    "If we cooperate well, I will give Guizhai another meeting gift. I will lead the troops to hold back the Cangzhou officers and soldiers, and your army will just attack Zengtou City with all its strength."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I heard that Zengtou City specializes in hunting Liaoqi. I'm afraid Lin Ya wants us to get rid of Zengtou City, right?"

    Yelu Dashi also smiled and said: "If your army doesn't get rid of Zengtou City, I'm afraid even if I sell you the war horse, the war horse may not be in your hands, right?"

    "Haha, okay, then we will work together to eliminate Zengtou City and clear the way for our transactions."

    The two reached an agreement and turned their horses' heads to return.

    After this delay, it was getting late, so Chao Yong ordered the army to camp on the spot.

    As soon as the camp was set up, Lin Chong came over curiously and asked, "What is the purpose of the general's invitation to Brother Yong today?"

    Chao Yong immediately explained the agreement with Yelu Dashi in detail.

    Lin Chongqi said: "The advantage of the Liao army in the battle with the Song army lies in the war horses. The Liao people also knew this and strictly prohibited the flow of war horses into the Central Plains. This Yelv Dashi is a member of the royal family, how could he do such a thing that shakes the foundation of the country? Could it be that  Is there any fraud in it?¡±

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "One transaction is only 500 horses, worth 40,000 gold. Is Yelu Dashi designing it for 40,000 gold?"

    Lin Chong frowned and said: "Then what is Yelu Dashi's intention of selling war horses to us? Is it possible that he is really just greedy for money?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I'm afraid it has a lot to do with our alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty."

    Lin Chong suddenly realized: "Brother Yong means that Yelu Dashi knew that the Song Dynasty was going to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, so he sold his war horses to us to let us hold back the Song Dynasty?"

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "After a hundred years of peace between the Liao and Song Dynasties, many Liao people will inevitably sneak into the Central Plains and work hard."The matter of Lianjin's destruction of Liao was once again aroused in the court. It was Cai Jingdu who became an official for this purpose. There was no reason for Liao to be ignorant of this matter.  It's just that they didn't dare to use force to force each other like they did in previous years, so they didn't make a fuss.  Yelv Dashi was on the border of Song and Liao, so he was the first to bear the brunt, so he naturally had a better understanding of things in the Central Plains.  The Song Dynasty wanted to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun with the help of the Jin Kingdom.  The Liao Kingdom wanted to use us to hold back the Song Dynasty, but we wanted to use the Liao Kingdom's war horses to expand our power. This was exactly what we needed.  "

    "It is only said that Elder Zeng learned that Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo only brought back less than 200 horse troops, and the rest were all annihilated by the Liao army, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

    Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo were shocked when they learned that their fifth brother Zeng Sheng and their teacher Shi Wengong had all been captured, and that the thousand soldiers and horses they led were also wiped out.

    After everyone discussed it, they suddenly lost their courage. Elder Zeng immediately wrote a letter in person and sent it to Liangshan Dazhai.

    Chao Yong was discussing with others in the tent to attack Zengtou City, when he heard someone writing a letter from Zengtou City.

    Chao Yong then sent an order to bring in the person who brought the book.

    Ding Zhuang entered the big tent in Zengtou City and suddenly trembled when he saw these many leaders.

    Li Kui shouted: "You have seen so many of us, why don't you kneel down?"

    Ding Zhuang had never faced so many generals alone before. When Li Kui shouted loudly, he was so frightened that his legs weakened. He knelt on the ground, raised the letter high with both hands, and said tremblingly: "Little man Feng Zeng  The elder ordered me to write to the heroes of Liangshan."

    In his panic, Ding Zhuang called out all the names of Elder Zeng.

    Li Kui saw that Ding Zhuang was timid, so he walked up to him, glared at Ding Zhuang and said, "What Elder Zeng? Is he the old thief Zeng?"

    Seeing that Li Kui looked fierce and had murderous intent on his face, Ding Zhuang almost collapsed to the ground in fright, and hurriedly said: "It's not Elder Zeng, it's Elder ZengOld"

    Li Kui saw that Ding Zhuang was hesitating and reached out to pull out the ax stuck in his waist.

    Seeing this, Ding Zhuang from Zengtou City hurriedly shouted: "Old thief Zeng, old thief Zeng."

    When everyone saw that Zengtou City had sent such a person to deliver the letter, they all burst into laughter.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Tieniu, stop fooling around and bring the letter."

    Hearing this, Li Kui took the letter and handed it to Chao Yong.

    When Chao Yong took it apart and looked at it, he saw the following words on it:

    The mayor of Zengtou City once bowed his head and paid homage to Chao Yong, the leader of the army: the former's subordinate Yu Baosi Wuwu, the dangerous Taoist god, relied on Xiaoyong to rob Guizhai's horses.  When Xiangri's army came down from the mountain, it was reasonable to submit to him. The teacher Shi Wengong set fire to the mountain, and then led his children to attack the army of Guizhai. His sin was so serious that he could not defend himself.  However, this was the intention of the teacher Shi Wengong, not my father and son.  Now Shi Wengong has been captured and the chief culprit has been eliminated.  In the previous battle, two of the five sons of my Zeng family were killed. Now the fifth son, Zeng Sheng, was captured by the stronghold again. Liao soldiers invaded again, and a special envoy was sent to seek peace.  If the war is called off, I would like to return all the horses that were captured, and make up for the shortfall with gold and silver. I will also reward the three armies with gold and silver, and redeem my fifth son, Zeng Sheng.  It also avoids two injuries, and the Liao people take advantage of it.  I would like to submit this letter to you, and I will beg to take care of it.

    Chao Yong read it and handed it to Shi Wengong.

    Shi Wengong saw that Elder Zeng actually put all the responsibility on him in order to make Liangshan retreat. He couldn't help but said angrily: "I have worked hard for Zengtou City, and I have made many great contributions. I don't want Elder Zeng to want to put me at risk."  He really deserves to be killed. Only when I break Zengtou City and kill this old thief will I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."

    After entering the account, the author was so frightened that he did not dare to raise his head when he saw many leaders. Only then did he see that Shi Wengong was among them, and it seemed that he had already surrendered.  Now that he said such harsh words again, he couldn't help but lie on the ground in fear, trembling.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The teacher is bad! Our fight is just a moment of anger. Now that the Liao soldiers have invaded, since Zengtou City has taken the initiative to make peace, how can we lose our righteousness because of our temporary anger."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??????

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

    The person who delivered the letter fearfully took the money from Chao Yong, pretended to reply, and left.

    Lin Chong waited for the messenger to leave and asked, "Brother Yong really wants to make peace?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Zengtou City has done many evil things, how can we spare them just because he sent some gold and silver? I only want them to send Yu Baosi. If they do, Zengtou City's military morale will definitely be shaken. Then we will ask for it again."  It will be much easier to break through Zengtou City. If they don't send it, it will be the same as now. We can just rebuild the siege equipment and break through Zengtou City."

    When the messenger returned to Zengtou City, Elder Zeng heard that the messenger said that Shi Wengong had surrendered to Liangshan. He was so frightened that when he opened the letter tremblingly, he saw that it read:

    Chao Yong, the commander-in-chief of Liangshan ParkThe letter replied to what Zengtou City Master once said: Since ancient times, a country without faith will eventually perish, a rude person will eventually die, an unjust wealth will eventually be taken away, and a general without courage will eventually be defeated.  The logic is natural and nothing surprising.  Liangshanbo and Zengtou City had no enmity and each guarded their borders.  It is because you did evil for a moment and caused injustice today.  The plan was to break up Zengtou City and exterminate the Zeng family, but the Liao soldiers invaded. They couldn't bear to fight with each other, and were taken advantage of by foreigners.  However, you have been disrespectful, and if you want to make peace, you must seize the horses from Yuan Yuan, and ask Yu Baosi, the murderer who captured the horses, to reward the sergeant with a hundred thousand coins.  If both are delivered, I will return them to Zeng Sheng.  Loyalty is strong, but etiquette should not be taken lightly.  If it changes, no decision will be made.

    Elder Zeng and assistant teachers Su Ding, Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo all read the letter.

    Su Ding said: "The soldiers and horses from Liangshan came well prepared. Shi Wengong, who was so skilled in martial arts, was captured. He surrendered to Liangshan again. If we resist stubbornly, we are afraid that the mantis will use his arms as a chariot." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.  Update faster!)
