Chapter 608 Now is not the time to hesitate
Chapter 608
Hearing Liang Shou’s words, Liang Zuo took a deep breath and saluted solemnly at Liang Shoutou. “Thank you, brother, I know that I’m wrong. I will definitely work hard in the future. I will definitely not let you down Brother Dang.”
"That's right. Let's go back and have a good meal and then rest. Maybe soon, Song Ting will march towards Yanzhou. At that time, our hundreds of people are the front-line drivers and make more achievements. Only in the Liang family can we have a chance to gain a foothold in Song Ting, do you understand?"
After the Liang brothers left, Wang Yang finished washing up as quickly as possible, and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He just asked Wu Qilang to find the cook to bring a cooked cake with meat, and led two guards to hurry towards the place where Han Xiang was.
At this time, Han Zhongyan, who was older and less sleeping, had already gotten up for a while. He drank a bowl of meat porridge cooked with the dried meat sent by Wan Bin, while chewing the pancakes, and heading towards the old general next to him.
"After that, the taste of this jerky meat is really good. It tastes good, and the soldiers can also eat it more satisfactorily."
While Zhe Kexing was holding a piece of dried meat that was about two fingers long and wide, he cut off a piece of dried meat with a knife and threw it into his mouth and chewed it carefully while commenting.
"This is true. It is really rare to make this horse meat so delicious. In the past, our soldiers of the border would only bleed the dead horses on the battlefield when they had no choice but to throw them into white water and add salt to cook it. It was just to fill their stomachs, not like this kind of jerky meat..."
"And I heard that this thing was written by Wan Bin, a business friend of Lord Xiao Wang. This person is very capable and has a unique vision. He went to Huanzhou with Lord Xiao Wang's wives and concubines. He did not bring any silk and satin, but instead brought more than a hundred leather makers and dozens of chefs..." When he said this, Zhe Kexing couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Mr. Xiao Wang's friend is as good as him, and he is so unreasonable."
Then, Zhong Shidao, who rushed over, was sitting down and nodded deeply. "This kind of ability alone is not something that ordinary merchants can think of. What is important is that it also solves the urgent needs of the people in our northern border. With the addition of this dried meat, at least many people with weak constitutions have more physical strength to survive such a severe cold winter."
"What a pity, if we could think of how good this method would be, just buried near Huanzhou City, there would be more than 10,000 dead horses."
"It's good for his friend. Although the horses died for a long time and could not eat meat, this guy dug out all the horses again, peeled them, and buried them back. The things made after the skins of those war horses were made, they would probably be sold at a good price."
Just as several big guys were having breakfast, talking about Wan Bin's crazy and slick, and his brains were unique, Wang Yang rushed in with a pancake sticking to the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, Lord Wang, you are rare enough. You can actually see you here so early." Han Zhongyan couldn't help but play Wang Yang's joke.
"Sir, are you willing to take Yanzhou?" Wang Yang laughed dryly, walked straight to the side, picked up an empty bowl, poured some hot tea for himself, swallowed the food and water in his mouth, and asked loudly.
In an instant, the smile on Han Zhongyan's face froze on his face, and Zhe Kexing's eyes suddenly widened and looked at Wang Yang.
"Mr. Xiao Wang, what happened? Is there something wrong with Yanzhou in Xixia?" Master Zhong jumped up and stood in front of Wang Yang in two steps and asked.
"Now, the garrison of Yanzhou Sa Chen, led an army of 30,000 to attack Liang Yibu in Hongzhou, but Liang Yibu was defeated because Liang Yibu took a step forward. Now he is dragged by the Dangxiang soldiers with more than 10,000 injuries to the city of Hongzhou."
"Now, the defenders in Yanzhou City are less than 20,000. We can use a surprise soldier, pretending to be the defeated Dangxiang soldiers under Hongzhou City who were defeated by Liang Yi, and sneak into the city. As long as one of them can be seized, the army can follow up in time and seize the important financial and financial centers in southern Xixia, it will be easy to get back..."
Zhe Kexing had already thrown the jerky meat in his hand aside, and he had already come to the front of the map. Han Zhongyan, Zhong Shidao, and Zhe Keshi all stood in front of the map, staring at Wang Yang standing there dancing and gestured with endless waves.
"Do you dare to be sure of the news?" Han Zhongyan, who was highly powerful and had been calm in the face of changes for a long time, couldn't help but be beating faster at this moment.
"Although Liang Yibi will not joke about his own life, the news will not be too distant. In order to confirm, the adults need to order to immediately send a detective cavalry to investigate the movements of the troops between Hongzhou, Yanzhou, and the two states." Wang Yang replied to Han Zhongyan, taking out Liang Yibi's handwritten letter.
"The entire Jianing Military Office has already been within the detection range of our Song Dynasty's reconnaissance cavalry. If the matter is true, it should be rewarded soon..." Zhong Shidao said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. Everyone in the hall looked back and saw the tired-faced horsemen rushed into the hall to report.
"...The Yanzhou garrison has less than 10,000?" Zhong Shidao's eyes bulged. This is so unscientific, right? The news that Lord Xiao Wang had received before was that Yanzhou's troops were at most 20,000, but why did it suddenly become 10,000?
"Just last night, about 10,000 Yanzhou defenders quietly left Yanzhou and headed east. Mo General sent ten cavalrymen to follow him. Because it was of great importance, Mo General personally rushed back all night to report."
"Sir, now is not the time to continue hesitation. Yanzhou, that's Yanzhou." Wang Yang's eyes were almost green.
"If we can seize Yanzhou, the salt in the northwest of our Song Dynasty would not need to be transferred from thousands of miles away, and we can also ban the private salt business that is prevalent in this area. At the same time, we will include the most important financial resources in the southern part of Western Xia into our Song Dynasty..." Zhong Shidao narrowed his eyes and murmured.
"Prime Minister Han, I will ask Prime Minister Han to order. I have already sharpened my sword for a long time. Such a good opportunity will be fleeting..." The old general Zhe Kexing said to Han Zhongsheng, who looked solemn and pondered silently.
"Liang Yi-bing is such a poor dog. Li Qianshun is determined to kill him. There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two."
