Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

After another quarter of an hour, Cao Zheng came to give the order with a face full of excitement, and there was something in his eyes that was still unsatisfactory.

Cao Bin laughed loudly and said:

"I'm a real tiger, okay!"

"Take the captives and follow the team."

After speaking, he reminded again:

"After setting up camp, don't forget to write a [-]-word essay on your experience and submit it to Weifu for inspection."

Cao Zheng heard the words.Immediately froze for a moment, showing bitterness.

After the mission continued to move forward, Gao Wang realized that the scene just now was like a dream.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he killed nearly half of the enemy, which he had never seen before leading troops for so many years.

The key enemy is not ordinary grassroots bandits, which is no longer a simple sentence to describe elites.

No wonder he was promoted so quickly, he couldn't refuse, and this method of raising a son is wonderful, you have to learn it!

Just thinking about it, a horse bandit leader suddenly shouted in grief and indignation:

"It's Song Zhongjinghou? Why didn't you use the banner?"

"You guys don't follow the rules..."

Before he finished shouting, his teeth were smashed by a soldier, and he couldn't speak anymore.

The government's suppression of bandits still tells you the rules?When death is imminent, it is necessary to face stubbornness.

Seeing this, Gao Wang asked:

"Master Hou, what should we do with these captives? We are short of money and food..."

Cao Bin pointed at the captives and shook his head, laughing:

"Learn to be flexible, aren't they just ready-made money and food?"

Gao Wang heard the words, his face changed, and he stammered and asked:

"Eat...eat meat?"

Hearing this, Cao Bin couldn't help but rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and urged the horse to go first.

For Cao Bin, the population is the most profitable resource, especially this kind of labor that has no cost, does not take care of treatment, and can be used casually.

Animals have to be cared for, people don't.

Digging media, farming, transporting goods...

People are better than animals.

Xixia is giving away human resources, how can it be wasted?

It's easy to say about rations, just ask the southeast sea merchants to borrow temporarily. As long as you get through the early stage, you can make a lot of money in the future.

In this way, Zhong Shiheng's fortification project has the initial funds.

As for the court, as long as he doesn't ask for too much money and food, the court will easily pass his request.

When the financial crisis of the imperial court has eased, Cao Bin will find a way to make up for his later stage money and food... Maybe he can first give him the distribution rights of Xixia Qingyan.

"Master Hou!"

"Zhong Ping please get up quickly, there is no need to be polite."

Knowing that Cao Bin was coming, Zhong Shiheng, dressed in rotten silver slack armor and a red burqa obliquely, greeted him outside the village with his eldest son.

His appearance did not look old because of his promotion and taking charge of affairs, but he was more energetic than the year before.

After talking about the family routine, another banquet was held to welcome Cao Bin.

It's a pity that his two sons were on errands in the capital and did not come with Cao Bin.

However, his second son and youngest son made a lot of contributions with Cao Bin when they conquered Liao. Not only were they promoted, but they were also awarded titles.

This made him even more grateful to Cao Bin.

Afterwards, Cao Bin stayed in Hengshan Military Village for five days, conducted on-the-spot investigations with Zhong Shiheng, and finalized the location of the city and village one by one.

The Hengshan hills have a geographical advantage over the "Ningxia Plain". As long as the Song army defends Hengshan, the main force of Xixia will not be able to rush out of the desert.

However, the Song army can drive straight in. Once they cross the Yellow River, they can directly threaten Xingqing Mansion, the royal city of Xixia.

This is tantamount to putting Xixia's neck under the blade of Da Song.

Five days later, watching the mission slowly enter Xixia, Zhong Shiheng sighed:

"Marquis Cao is truly a man of great talent."

As soon as Cao Bin arrived, he killed two birds with one stone, and gave solutions to the problems of banditry in the Northwest and lack of money and food.

He couldn't learn this kind of understatement.

In fact, this is the result of Cao Bin expending his energy and laying a solid foundation in Jiangdong. Otherwise, even if Cao Bin thinks of a way, it is impossible to achieve it.

Because there is no support from Jiangnan, the most critical link is missing.

So, it doesn't matter how complicated and subtle the plan is, the more complicated it is, the easier it is to go wrong.

As long as one of the links fails to achieve the effect, no matter how delicate the plan is, it will be in vain.

No one is a god, and it is impossible to calculate the human heart and qi clearly. Even Zhuge Liang has times to kill Ma Su.

Hearing Zhong Shiheng's words, Gao Wang agreed:

"It's still too small for the final general. It seems that I will never be able to be the person who commands the overall situation in my life."

With that said, he shook his head and said:

"Msg Lue, I will listen to you from now on. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do."

"The last general is too lazy to use his brain, I'm not that material..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to understand why Eighth Sister Yang looked down on her son and insisted on entangled with Cao Bin.

If I were Eighth Sister, I would look down on him.

He scratched his head, thinking that it was time to force his son to marry, and he couldn't keep thinking about Eighth Sister, it was hopeless.

When Zhong Shiheng heard the words, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and was speechless. This guy seemed to have been hit by Master Cao.

But it is also a good thing to be able to convince such a fierce general.

It's just that he has been working under Yang Zongbao's command. This time, he was transferred to the northwest by the Privy Council without warning. It seems that someone in the court is making trouble again...

"Ningxia Plain" is known as the frontier of the south of the Yangtze River, with Helan Mountain in the northwest as a barrier, and the Yellow River in the east. There are 72 lakes on the plain, like pearls in the sky sprinkled on the world.

Xingqing Mansion is located in the northeast of the plain. It is large in scale and magnificent. It was expanded by Yuan Haoqiong's lifelong efforts.

Although the city is not comparable to Bianjing in size, it has a unique style and can accommodate a population of 20.

"Finally home."

Seeing Xingqing City, Brother Weiming breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got rid of Cao Bin, that bastard.

He didn't dare to drink alcohol or rush him along the way, for fear of provoking him and getting him beaten for no reason, aggrieved!

Just as he was thinking, the Prime Minister of the State, Wuzang Yepang, had already led all the officials of Xixia forward, and he went out of the city to meet the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Haha, Lord Cao, after a long absence, you still have the same demeanor."

"It's summer again today, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"I was negligent along the way, please enter the city quickly, I have prepared a banquet."

After saluting each other, Ye Pang took Cao Bin's hand affectionately and extended his invitation to the city.

However, Cao Bin did not follow him into the city, instead he grabbed Wei Mingwei and said with a smile to Ye Pang:

"Why neglect? The king of politics has taken good care of him all the way, and he has the style of an ancient celebrity. Cao admires him very much. Let's invite him together."

It was the first time that Brother Wei Mingwei was treated like this by Cao Bin, and he was a little confused, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, why did I suddenly feel flattered in my heart?

Wu Zangyuan Pang has always ignored himself, and he had already expected that he would use this mission to make trouble against him.

I didn't expect this Lord Cao to give face so much, good man!

Xixia now stands side by side.

Wuzang Yepang suppressed the famous Wei brother in the court, and Wuzang black clouds balanced it, and the whole was still in harmony.

Cao Bin is also bored, he has come all the time, and if he doesn't do something, it will be in vain.

To instigate discord among them, maybe the spy who has inherited "Three Kingdoms Chen Deng" can take the opportunity to take the position.

Although he was re-accepted by Xixia, he was not very trusted, and it was not easy to climb to a high position.

Just take this opportunity to help him.

Huaipang is insidious and cunning, not easy to be fooled, Wei Ge can still take advantage of it.

At this moment, when Cao Bin praised Brother Wei, a trace of solemnity flashed in Ye Pang's eyes, and he immediately laughed nonchalantly:

"What Master Cao said is reasonable, and the king who discusses politics is naturally a great talent in our country."

"Please come in, please come in!"

The accompanying officials of the Great Song Mission were very nervous at first. After all, in the Yuanhao era, Xixia was very cruel. In their view, this is a country of barbarians.

I didn't expect the Prime Minister of Xixia to go out of the city to greet him in person, and to be so polite. It seems that he has some friendship with Lord Cao, so it is much safer.

This made them all heave a sigh of relief, no wonder the king who discussed politics was very honest along the way, so there is still such a relationship...

After the mission entered the city, they first visited the Empress Dowager who was stranded in Xixia.

When Empress Dowager Liu saw the arrival of the Great Song Mission, which was led by Cao Bin himself, she was already weeping with joy, as if seeing a relative.

Even though Xixia didn't treat her too badly, but if she didn't return to Song Dynasty for a day, she would not feel at ease for a day, lest Xixia go back on her word...

After meeting Empress Dowager Liu, Mei Zang Ye Pang first arranged a post house for the members of the embassy, ​​and then hosted a banquet in person. After drinking for three rounds, Mei Zang Ye Pang couldn't help asking:

"Master Hou, what is the regulation of Da Song's purchase of salt this time?"

If it wasn't for this matter, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Selling salt is a major event related to the fate of the country for Xixia, if he does it himself, it will greatly increase his prestige in Xixia.

Cao Bin waved his hand and smiled, pointing to an official who was going to attack him and said:

"For the purchase of salt, the Prime Minister can talk to the deputy envoy of our country, and it is not suitable for Cao to participate."

There was a hint of doubt on Ye Pang's face, and just as he was about to say something, a court lady broke in suddenly:

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager ordered to see Song Guozheng envoy Caohou Ye in Xingqing Palace, and said that she had something to ask."

Hearing the words without hiding the truth, Pang twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Master Cao, what do you think?"

Of course he knew what his own sister was looking for with Cao Bin, but did he need to be in such a hurry? I didn't even start talking about serious business.

But he also knew that his elder sister was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she probably had a plan.

It's just that he was a little bit unwilling to give up this credit.

Although the two are brothers and sisters, they both prosper and lose each other, but there are still many differences in terms of rights.

At least she supported Brother Wei, and stopped Ye Pang's idea of ​​covering the sky with one hand in Xixia...

The officials of the Song Dynasty were even more surprised. Xixia really respected Cao Houye. First, the Prime Minister personally entertained him. At this time, even the Queen Mother had to see him in the bedroom.

This kind of treatment is the only one in Song, Liao, and Xia, right?

Thinking of this, they were secretly happy. It seemed that this trip to Xixia was completely stable.

Xingqing Palace is located in the northwest of Xingqing City.

It was built after the Chang'an Palace in the Tang Dynasty. It is not only luxurious and magnificent, but also introduced into the Yellow River and dug canals to form a lake.

Everywhere is sparkling, pavilions and pavilions, too beautiful to behold.

Yuan Hao spent countless energy and financial resources on this palace, but today a guest surnamed Cao ushered in.
