Not to mention that Yan Zonghan led his soldiers and horses to leave the Menggu grassland and return to the Kingdom of Jin. At the same time, he could plan an all-out attack on Goryeo. [This chapter is updated by friends] Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen and others have already entered the depths of the forest at this time, and
Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and others gathered together, and naturally they were overjoyed to see each other.
Driving all the way forward, although the extreme north is cold, the terrain is relatively flat. Although there are many trees, there are also many grasslands. The Menggu horse's adaptability to harsh environments far exceeds that of other horses, so along the way, in addition to
Except for dozens of horses that were sick, the rest of the horses were all normal and seemed to be in full swing.
"These Menggu horses have much better endurance than Khitan horses and Western Xia horses!" While resting at night, Han Shizhong stroked the neck of a black horse next to him and said in admiration.
"How does it compare to the Korean horse?" Lu Zhishen asked.
"Goryeo horses are okay... In fact, Goryeo horses are mainly imported horses from Liaodong and tribute horses from the ancients. They must have many ancient horses in the future," Shi Xiu said.
"This is natural. These foreign tribes have much more horses than we do!" Han Shizhong said.
For those powerful foreigners, the number of horses is unimaginable. What they lack is not horses, but people! If these foreigners can have the number of Han people, plus their riding skills, plus those many horses
, they have conquered the world long ago.
While everyone was talking, brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng arrived. They held several cooked wild game in their hands and gave them to everyone for everyone to enjoy.
In the forests of the far north, there are many wild beasts, and good hunters can kill countless prey every day. Therefore, this group of people in Liangshan did not encounter the problem of hunger along the way, and ate various kinds of game every day.
"Great monk, how is the situation in the Central Plains now?" Han Shizhong suddenly asked.
"The situation in the Central Plains is not very good. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more overwhelmed. I think that by the end of this year at the latest, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will revolt! In addition to the south of the Yangtze River, the Khitan people in the north are increasingly beating grass and valleys.
It's so awesome that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court dare not confront the Khitans, and the people in the north are also crying out. The Xixia people in the northwest are also eyeing the Song Dynasty and may invade us at any time." Lu Zhishen said.
"Looking at the situation in the Central Plains, this is almost a sign of national destruction!" Han Shizhong sighed.
"***, if it were a few hundred years ago, if the country was destroyed, the country would be destroyed. At worst, we would change the court. Then we Han people would still be the emperors, and we Han people would still be in charge of the world! But now, the foreigners are so powerful. There are Khitan in the north and Khitan in the west.
There is Xixia, and there is Nv Zhenren further north. If the Central Plains is subjugated now, wouldn't it mean that these foreigners have taken over the world?" Yang Xiong cursed.
"I hope our Liangshan can be stronger! Now that we have captured Goryeo, if one day we can destroy Nvzhen and occupy Liaodong, then we will have the strength to truly conquer the Central Plains. Even if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, it will be
Our world in Liangshan will not be that of foreigners!" Han Shizhong said.
After staying in Liangshan for these years, Han Shizhong's thoughts finally changed. He was no longer loyal to the court, but thought about the future of China as a whole and the Han people. He now hopes that the court can hold on for a few more years, at least until Liangshan takes over.
Only Liaodong.
"After we go back, we must train the army well and wait for the future war." Yang Xiong said.
"Yes, that's the truth. By the way, Yang Xiong, I heard that the governor said that he intends to put you in charge of the Goryeo troops." Han Shizhong said.
"What? How could this happen?" Yang Xiong was obviously surprised.
The so-called Goryeo Army is the "Red Guards". Its current official name is the "Goryeo Second Army" to distinguish it from the "Goryeo First Army" which is composed entirely of Han people. Neither Han Shizhong nor Yang Xiong and others have ever
Taking this "Korea Second Army" seriously, in the eyes of everyone, the so-called "Korea Second Army" is nothing more than cannon fodder. When the war with nv real people comes in the future, these Koreans will be used to die, so
There is no need to train too seriously. On weekdays, we mainly carry out round-the-clock propaganda work for them to cultivate their absolute loyalty to Wu Dong. When the time comes, as long as they are not afraid of death and do not rebel against Luan.
It was hard for Yang Xiong to believe that he would be sent to the Second Army of Korea to take charge of things there.
"Han Shizhong, are you talking nonsense?" Yang Xiong said.
"It's not nonsense, it's true." Han Shizhong said.
"How could this happen? I am the commander of the dignified Fourth Army, and I have to take care of those Koreans who have no fighting ability. What's going on?" Yang Xiong frowned.
"After you return, you can report to the Grand Governor that you are unwilling to do such a thing. I believe the Grand Governor will not force you?" Han Shizhong said.
"Okay, I will definitely ask the Governor carefully when I get back." Yang Xiong said somewhat gloomily.
Early the next morning, everyone continued on their way.
On this day, everyone unexpectedly encountered a pack of wolves!
However, the wolves in the forest are far from being comparable to the wolves on the grassland. Their number is very small, only about 100. However, these 100 wolves actually killed a dozen war horses. Everyone was filled with hatred. This
There was no time to save bows and arrows. Dozens of wolves were shot to death, and today's dinner was guaranteed.
Walking in the forest like this, because I was riding a horse, my speed was much faster than when I came here.
It only took about 20 days for everyone to reach the easternmost part of the forest, close to the seaside.
"Look, there are a lot of houses over there!" Han Shizhong stood on a high slope and looked down.
"I'll go over there and have a look!" Shi Xiu said.
But before Shi Xiu could pass by, the people over there had already noticed the situation here, and dozens of people suddenly came out of the house over there and headed this way.
"They are our people from Liangshan!" When those people got closer and closer, Han Shizhong had already identified the military uniforms on those people, so he immediately relaxed and said with a smile.
The dozens of people were getting closer and closer to everyone, and everyone saw the military uniforms on their bodies, but their faces changed slightly.
Because the people who came were not only Han people, but also people dressed up like women among them.
"What's going on?" Han Shizhong frowned.
"Is it a savage?" Yang Xiong asked uncertainly.
As for Lu Zhishen, Shi Xiu and others, they were already alert. They had never seen these savages before, and they regarded them as the same as the real women in Liaodong, so they took out their weapons and prepared to take action.
"I'll go up and ask!" Han Shizhong said.
He rode towards these people on horseback. As he got closer and closer to these people, he shouted: "Stop!"
"General Han, it's me, Ruan Liu!" A man in front suddenly said with a smile.
"Hey, it's you indeed!" Han Shizhong immediately recognized this person. This person was one of Ruan Xiaoqi's soldiers. He followed Ruan Xiaoqi from Shijie Village and was of the same clan as Ruan Xiaoqi. See
Ruan Liu and Han Shizhong got off their horses, pointed at the savages and said, "Why are there savages in our army?"
Ruan Liudao: "General Han, these savages were conquered by the Governor from Ku Island! Now follow our navy to maintain order in Beihai County."
Han Shizhong said in surprise: "How to recover them?"
Ruan Liu smiled and said: "We can make them follow us with just a steel knife! However, these barbarians do not understand discipline and are difficult to train. But they dare to charge and kill. When we established the village here,
We encountered a lot of tigers, and most of them were killed by these savages. In addition to these savages, there are also many Oronchun people who have joined our army. They are now considered members of our navy."
Han Shizhong asked: "How many people are there in total? Also, what are you doing building a village here?"
Ruan Liudao: "There are not many people, only 2,000 people... There are tens of thousands of people in total on the big island. It is good to have 2,000 people join! We established the village here to support you, General Han! Congratulations Han
General, you have brought so many war horses!"
Han Shizhong smiled and nodded, saying: "We have gained a lot this time! Well, I'm afraid these war horses still need ships to transport them back. Please hurry up and notify your navy!"
Ruan Liudao: "General Han, please follow me first. Someone has already gone to notify Commander Ruan and the others."
It was already dusk, and everyone settled in the village here. The next morning, more than 100 large ships appeared on the sea in the distance. The large ships were very fast, riding the wind and breaking the waves, and soon arrived at the shore.
side.
Ruan Xiaoqi got off the boat and saw Han Shizhong and others. He was overjoyed and said: "Congratulations to General Han for bringing the war horses back!"
Han Shizhong looked at the 100 large ships and said, "How many horses can your ships carry?"
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Each boat can only carry 100 horses, no more! How many horses did you bring back?"
Han Shizhong said: "Thirty thousand horses!"
Ruan Xiaoqi was surprised and said: "So many? It seems that it will be divided several times! After I go back this time, I will requisition all the merchant ships in Incheon Port and let the merchant ships help transport the horses!"
The journey from Kudo Island to Koryo is also very long and takes about ten days. After such a delay, it will take more than a month just to transport these horses to Koryo.
"When you come from Korea, bring more bricks, tea, and weapons so that we can go to Menggu Grassland to sell horses! Winter comes very quickly in the far north, and we must transport another horse back before winter arrives." Han
Shi Zhongdao.
"General Han, you may not need to go to Menggu Grassland next time! Just let Mr. Duan, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and the others go! You and Yang Xiong have to go back to train the army. In winter, there may be a war. You
The cavalry will be expanded, and you only have a few months to train soldiers. And Yang Xiong, the governor has already said that he will put you in charge of the second army, and you will also have to run in with those Koreans." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"This..." Han Shizhong was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "I want to meet the Governor in person and tell him about Meng Gu's situation. Meng Gu has a nv real person, and I'm afraid that nv Zhenren will send an army to block our traffickers.
There is a road, so I'd better go there again. Even if I don't go, Yang Xiong will go with me."
"Okay, but the Governor is in Japan now." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
