Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 275 Su Yun's Logistics Team! (4k)

The knight spoke very rudely, and Li Binglin's face turned red again with anger.

Zhang Erbai whispered: "What should we do now? Should we fight or not?"

Li Binglin moved his throat and wanted to say fight, but he had no confidence. If it was before the Battle of Mizhi, he might have shouted for a fight directly, but he heard from those who escaped back that the 3,000 cavalry of the Song army directly pressed down on their army of more than 100,000, and pursued them relentlessly after the battle, all the way to the city of Luowu, forcing Ye Beima to surrender.

Thinking back to the incident in which General Su led 800 cavalrymen to capture three cities in a row, Li Binglin felt a little uneasy - the strongest cavalry in the world might not be their Xixia Iron Harriers, but the Qiying Camp of the Song Dynasty.

Their 3,000 cavalrymen were able to chase an army of more than 100,000, so one can imagine their combat effectiveness. Our 800 cavalrymen would probably be nothing but food to eat against them. There was no way we could defeat them!

But if we don’t fight, what can we do?

Li Binglin suddenly had an idea and whispered to Zhang Erbai, "They are the Song army. You are using words to bully them!"

Zhang Erbai immediately remembered the story in history of someone using his eloquence to repel the enemy, and he was eager to try it out. He looked at the knight and said, "Master said..."

The knight suddenly jumped up, galloped a few steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Erbai's chest, then lifted him up and threw him onto the loess, making Zhang Erbai dizzy.

The knight clapped his hands and sneered, "Fuck you! How dare a traitor show up in public? I only regret that I was born a few decades earlier. If I had been born a few decades earlier, your traitor grandfather wouldn't have been able to commit such a crime."

Li Binglin was so angry that his face turned pale. This knight's insult to Zhang Erbai was an insult to his Great Xia. Naturally, he was extremely angry. In all the dealings between Western Xia and the Song Dynasty over the years, they had always been arrogant. Even if they were being hooligans, it was them, the Western Xia people. The Song people had always been dignified, and they would never be like this now.

He wanted to say something harsh, but when he saw the knight's tall stature and handsome appearance, he immediately thought of the man in the legend.

According to the people in Yinzhou City, the young Mr. Su Jinglie was of great stature and had a picturesque face, looking like a god.

Who else but Su Yun can meet both of these conditions?
Li Binglin asked tentatively, "Are you Mr. Su Jinglie?"

The knight laughed and said, "I am Liang Jin, son of the Liang family."

Li Binglin was suddenly at a loss, Liang’s son… Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, Liang’s son!
It is said that during the Youzhou Rebellion, there was a man named Liang who led 800 cavalrymen, and he was later proved to be Su Yun. In other words, the so-called man named Liang in front of them was naturally Su Yun. However, the way he was dressed today, he must have come here specifically to humiliate them.

Well, the names are not revealed, but everyone knows it.

Understood.

Li Binglin didn't dare to say more, for fear that if he said too much, someone would come up and beat him.

If the other party came to negotiate in the capacity of a Song official, Li Binglin would naturally not be afraid, but they were disguised as bandits, and it was obvious that they were here to cause trouble. If he did not know the situation and insisted on joining in the fight, he would probably get beaten.

The knight looked at Li Binglin with a half-smile and said, "Get off your horse and pack your things!"

Li Binglin bit his teeth until they were about to break. He squeezed out a sound from between his teeth and said, "Brother Su... Liang, there are still dozens of miles to go. It will take too long to walk there. Can you..."

The knight laughed, squeezed his legs together, and galloped towards him. Li Binglin became angry: I am not that useless Zhang Erbai, I am also a military commander with great martial arts skills... Eh?

Li Binglin wanted to hide, but for some reason, he felt his body had left the mount and was lifted up lightly, then floating in the air. The next moment, he felt like his internal organs were about to be vomited out - he was thrown heavily to the ground!
The knight sneered, "Too much nonsense! If you don't get off your horse, I will kill you without mercy!"

Li Binglin ignored the pain in his body and shouted, "Everyone, get off your horses! Get off your horses! Take down everything!"

The eight hundred Iron Kites looked at each other in bewilderment.

The knight raised his hand and clenched his fist. Suddenly, someone from the three thousand cavalrymen shouted loudly: "Get ready..."

Li Binglin's eyes were red with anger, and he shouted at the eight hundred Iron Harriers: "Get off your horses, all of you! Get off your horses!"

The eight hundred Iron Harriers did not dare to disobey, and quickly dismounted and hung the things hanging on the horses on themselves.

Li Binglin secretly observed the expression of the Liang family man, and saw that he seemed a little disappointed. Suddenly, he felt lucky: As expected, the fucking guy came here specifically to cause trouble. Fortunately, I knew the situation, otherwise being humiliated would be a small matter, and it would not be worth it if someone took the opportunity to beat me up.

Liang's son just waved his hand, and suddenly hundreds of riders came over, leading eight hundred horses.

At this time, the 800 Liao cavalrymen behind were watching coldly not far away. Yelu Ziming just wanted to laugh out loud. He could see clearly what was going on. The Song army was just putting on a superficial effort. Anyone with a smart eye would know it.

He just wanted to watch the fun. In fact, he looked down on the Western Xia army. He thought that the Song Dynasty was cowardly, but the Western Xia was not a tough guy either. The war between the two countries was just a fight between rookies.

But he was stunned when he saw the knight riding towards them. The knight stopped his horse a few feet away from him and said coldly: "You too, get off the horse, pack your things, and get out."

Yelu Ziming was suddenly confused: Ah, no, I am from the Liao Dynasty, how dare you?
Then he reacted and was immediately furious, saying, "How dare you! Do you know who we are?"

The knight sneered, "It doesn't matter. Dismount. Those who don't will die!"

Yelu Ziming stared at the knight coldly and said, "Are you trying to stir up a dispute between the two dynasties?"

The knight laughed and said, "We are just people from the plateau. We don't care about national affairs. We just like your good horses. If you know what's good for you, you won't be beaten. If you don't, our swords won't recognize you. Stop talking nonsense and get off your horses immediately!"

Yelu Ziming said coldly: "No Liao soldier surrenders without a fight. If you have the guts, kill us. When the Liao army marches south, I'll see how you'll explain it!"

The knight chuckled and said, "The court is weak and does not want to go to war with your two countries, but the soldiers in the army have been wanting to make merit for a long time. I think they should be happy to do so."

Yelu Ziming felt his temples throbbing and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Song court will punish you?"

The knight smiled and said, "We are just people from the plateau. We come and go suddenly. Who knows who we are? As for the chief officer of Yanzhou, he is now the most capable fighter in the court. If Liao and Xia attack, who else will the court use?"

Yelu Ziming's heart skipped a beat. They came here to sow discord among the three kingdoms. For these border officials, fighting was the fastest way to get promoted.

Just like that scholar Su, who was only a minor official before coming to the northwest, but within less than a year, he became an important official. After tasting this sweetness, of course he wanted to fight every day! Yelu Ziming suddenly became worried, but he was not worried about the current situation, but the next negotiations. He keenly felt that this negotiation might not be easy.

They could use the troops to scare the civil officials in Bian Jing, but if they wanted to use the troops to scare the young General Su, he could imagine that the young General Su would hear his threat and then show a look of surprise and ask, "Is there such a good thing?"

Just as he was worriedly thinking about his own things, the knight became a little impatient and said, "Hand it over or not? If not, I will fight you!"

Yelu Ziming said angrily: "Even if the two countries are at war, there is a tradition of not killing envoys. What's the point of you humiliating us like this?"

The knight laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, we just like your horses. The war horses you ride are all the best. If we sell them to someone who knows the value of them, each horse can be sold for at least 100 strings of cash. Hehe, these 800 horses of yours can be sold for at least 80,000 strings of cash, which is enough for us to eat and drink for several years on the plateau."

Yelu Ziming snorted. He naturally did not believe this kind of talk. He thought that the man just came here to sow discord among the three countries and used this as a shortcut to get promoted and make money.

Tsk! Just a few hundred horses, who would care about these?
In that case, he cannot do as he wishes!
Yelu Ziming shouted, "Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Pack your things!"

The Liao cavalry were somewhat reluctant, but they dared not disobey the commander's order and handed over the horses to the three thousand cavalry.

Afterwards, the so-called son of the Liang family galloped away with his three thousand cavalry and the one thousand six hundred newly captured horses, turned into a ravine and disappeared, leaving the Liao and Xia delegations looking at each other in bewilderment.

Li Binglin was about to speak, but Yelu Ziming spoke first: "Let's not leave yet, let's set up camp here. Li Binglin, we from the Liao Dynasty are here to help, and all losses should be borne by you. Go and coordinate quickly and send us 2,000 Hexi horses."

When Li Binglin heard this, his head suddenly started buzzing. We are all victims, so why should I be the one to bear the loss?

Also, what do you mean that you, the Great Liao, are here to help? You are clearly here to take advantage of our misfortune. First you extorted a lot of money and goods from our court, then turned around and asked the Song Dynasty to increase the annual tribute, and now you dare to ask me for Hexi horses?

The Hexi horse is a relatively rare BMW even in our Great Xia. You ask for two thousand for it right away. Why don’t you go and rob it!
Li Binglin was very depressed, but he didn't dare to confront Yelu Ziming. He only pleaded in a low voice: "Hexi horses are difficult to coordinate, and I can't get them. Otherwise, let's change to Hequ horses. Hequ horses are also good horses, and they are not worse than Hexi horses.

Besides, 2,000 horses is really too many. Anyway, you only have 800 people here, so why not just 800 horses? Do you think it's okay?"

Yelu Ziming sneered and said, "I am a member of the royal family, but I am humiliated like this. Isn't it worth it for you to compensate me with a thousand horses?
Also, my 800 horses are the best Khitan horses, which are much more valuable than any Hexi horses. If I exchange 800 Khitan horses for 2,000 Hexi horses, I will be laughed at if I return to the Liao Dynasty!"

Seeing Yelu Ziming's angry expression, Li Binglin didn't dare to argue any more, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to coordinate. Let's go to Yanzhou first. After all, this is Song territory, and it's not easy for thousands of horses to enter the country..."

Yelu Ziming was immediately furious and said, "Go to Yanzhou? How can we go there without a horse? Are we going to walk there? Are you going to save the reputation of the Liao Dynasty?"

Li Binglin thought so too. If the envoys of the two countries walked there, wouldn't they be looked down upon by the Song people?

Li Binglin went back and discussed with Zhang Erbai. He thought it would be better to coordinate the horses to come here first. Fortunately, this place was the border between Song and Xia, and it was not far to Yinzhou. It just took some effort to enter the country.

But this is not difficult. There is a trading place between the two countries on the Bao'an Army side. Although it is temporarily closed, because the Song Dynasty is extremely eager for horses, the horse trading market has always been open. Naturally, there are big horse merchants from the Liao Dynasty there, so we can go to them to coordinate.

Li Binglin quickly sent people to protect the security army.

The news of the transaction of up to 3,000 horses was soon reported to Su Yun.

The appointment letter from the court had not arrived yet. At this time, Zhe Keshi was still the garrison commander of the Bao'an Army, and it was he who sent the news to Su Yun.

Su Yun smiled when he saw the application and said, "In order to get the horses into the country as quickly as possible, they entrusted the horse dealer Northwest Horse Company to transport these horses?"

Zhe Keshi nodded and said, "Yes, the price is not low, it is fully 10% of the price of this batch of horses."

Su Yun shook his head and smiled, "Not very high. It will take a lot of effort to deliver the horses to the envoys within two days. Does this horse business belong to your Zhe family?"

Zhe Keshi was immediately embarrassed and said, "It belongs to one of my cousins."

Su Yun nodded. The Zhe family of Fuzhou was originally a military family in the northwest. Naturally, their tentacles extended to various parts of the northwest, so it was normal for them to engage in the horse business.

Su Yun smiled and said, "Okay, then let's wait until these horses are handed over to the delegation, and then we can take action after that."

Zhe Keshi was surprised and asked, "Still robbing?"

Su Yun immediately frowned and said, "We are short of 6,000 horses. We have already robbed 1,600 horses, but we are still short of 4,400 horses. This time they only helped us purchase 3,000 horses, so we are still short of 1,400 horses. I am worried!"

Zhe Keshi: “…”

Zhe Keshi licked his lips and said, "How about asking my uncle to contact the Liao people and buy more than a thousand horses? That would be enough."

Su Yun shook his head and said, "That won't work. We only have so much military funds in Fuyan Road. We have to concentrate it on training soldiers. If we use it to buy horses, we won't be able to carry out training.

It's okay. We've taken over their horses, but they still need horses. They'll either come over or buy horses. We can ask them to help us buy 2,000 more horses to fill the gap!"

Zhe Keshi was dumbfounded and asked, "Still robbing?"

This is like catching two sheep and plucking them hard. If you pull them so hard, won't all their fur be plucked out?

No... isn't that a bit shameless?

Zhe Keshi even felt a little bit reluctant.

But then Su Yun asked, "What else do we lack?"

Zhe Keshi: “…”

Then Su Yun said, "...I heard that the Yanchi Beach Sheep of Xixia are very delicious. If we can get a few thousand of them, it will be enough for 8,000 soldiers to eat for a while..."
