The whistle riding gasped, and the other party said, "Sir, there is an unknown cavalry in the southwest direction, with a number of about 1,500 people, and it is still twenty miles away. Please decide."

The southwest direction was where the harrier eagle was hovering. Everyone was relieved when they heard this. No matter where the cavalry came from, the number of people would not make everyone nervous. Xu Qing said, "Brother, let me go and have a look."

"No need, those people will come soon." Fang Yu knew that Xu Qing was now warlike, just like a tiger, and he could not be let go easily. If he was allowed to go alone, he might fight with others. Moreover, twenty miles away did not take long for a cavalry. Fang Yu looked at the whistle cavalry again and said, "You go and pass the orders and let all the whistle cavalry pay attention to whether there are other teams."

The whistleblower took the order and Bai Yutang said, "Brother, is this the army of the Liao Kingdom?"

"This is the territory of the Liao Kingdom, not far from the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion of Liao Kingdom. Even if it is not a Khitan, it is another tribe, in name, it is also the army of the Liao Kingdom. We have to be careful." Fang Yu smiled slightly and said.

"I heard that people in the northern tribes are very good at riding and shooting. If they really fight, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us, one thousand people, to easily destroy the number of 1,500 people on the other side." Although Ouyang Chun had never been to the grasslands in the north, he was knowledgeable when traveling through the world and heard some of the situations here.

"Well. If it is 1,500 people, it is really difficult to deal with. Although many of the soldiers and arrows are stronger than others, they are actually worse in riding and shooting than those who have grown up on horseback. So if you want to fight later, remember not to fight with the other party in close combat, and use the advantage of the strong bow in our hands. Set a distance from the other party to shoot. Although the opponent is good at riding and shooting, it is not as good as our bows and arrows. As long as everyone pays attention, no matter how strong they are, they can only be slowly worn to death by our method." Fang Yu's thousand men are all soldiers with excellent physiques, and are equipped with two stone iron-body bows. Compared with the bows and arrows configured by other armies of the Song and Liao countries, the ones are not strong at all. Compared with the wooden bows of various northern tribes, they are much stronger. In the face of this advantage, as long as Fang Yu and his men command properly, no matter how powerful the other party is, it is useless.

After hearing Fang Yu's words, everyone nodded one by one to agree with Fang Yu's method. Xu Qing muttered: "Brother, in this way, I'm not going to fight. It's so boring to bully others with arrows." www.piaotian.com

Everyone was happy to hear Xu Qing's words. Fang Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Qingzi, you have to remember that these soldiers have followed us. In the future, we will be our brothers. We must cherish each of them. If we fight head-on, it will only kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 to yourself. This is not what a good general and a good brother should do. What we have to do is to win at the lowest cost and minimize the losses of our subordinates as much as possible."

For Xu Qing, Fang Yu's words were mostly in vain, but Ouyang Chun, Bai Yutang and the others remembered it. Fang Yu looked at Yang Paifeng and saw the little girl nodding, obviously expressing her acceptance of what Fang Yu said. At this time, a whistle rider rushed over and got off the horse and reported to Fang Yu: "Report to the uncle, the unknown team in the southwest is about fifteen miles away."

"Well, go down and explore again." Fang Yu nodded and looked at the black dot in the sky. At this time, it had flew a lot closer, which was the kind of harrier eagle used for high-altitude reconnaissance that Fang Yu had seen.

The whistleblower retreated, and Fang Yu talked to everyone about other topics, but facing a possible battle, everyone was not interested in speaking. After a while, another whistleblower ran over and reported to Fang Yu: "Report to Master, the unknown team in the southwest is only ten miles away from here, and there is no trace of other troops around."

"Well, I understand. After you go down, tell other whistle detectives to pay attention to whether other teams appear." Fang Yu ordered the whistle driver. After the whistle driver left, Fang Yu looked at the hovering harrier eagle again, turned to Xu Qing and Bai Yutang said, "You each returned to your own team and ready to fight."

Xu Qing and Bai Yutang responded and returned to the team led by their land. A thousand people quickly gathered into three square formations and were ready for battle. At this time, they began to hear the roar of horse hooves. Everyone looked at Fang Yu, who was coming from the sound. They saw that dust seemed to roll in the sky. After waiting for a while, people and horses gradually appeared. As they got closer, Fang Yu found that these people were dressed differently from the regular army of the Liao Kingdom. The workmanship of these people was so far away, and it was impossible to see. In terms of style, it was just like a few pieces of animal skins were placed on their bodies. Obviously, they should be from a certain tribe, but Fang Yu didn't know why these people came for their team.

Those people stopped when they arrived at the ground with an arrow. The leader looked about forty years old, and looked very majestic. Looking at Fang Yu carefully, it was obvious that he was also thinking about Fang.

People are enemies or friends. Seeing this situation, Fang Yu drove them alone and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Let's sign up."

The man said in Chinese, "Are you from the Song Dynasty from the south?"

"I am Fang Yu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty. Who are you?" Fang Yu asked again.

"I am Bayan's leader Barshiji. How dare I ask if this envoy of Song State is the Lord Fang of Song State on Halloween last year?" After hearing Fang Yu's words, the man asked Fang Yu loudly, with his tone as if he was a little excited.

—

"I did participate in that competition on the Liao Kingdom Halloween last year. I wonder if this brother Balshji also participated in that Halloween last year." Fang Yu didn't know what kind of tribe the Bayan tribe belonged to, but he guessed that in such a place, this should be one of the Mongolians. Although the name of Mongolians has not appeared at this time. Many small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland will die in the competition for more than a hundred years. Some of them were really destroyed by the whole tribe, and some were integrated into larger tribes, gradually forming the later Mongolians.

After hearing Fang Yu's words, the man drove his horse to run towards Fang Yu alone. When he was only fifty steps away from Fang Yu, he strangled his ground horse. After looking at Fang Yu carefully for a while, he turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "Barshji pays homage to the envoy of Song State, Lord Fang."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned by the sudden behavior of Balshji, thinking to himself what was wrong, could I have the turtle-like aura, why did I kneel down to me as soon as I saw me? Fang Yu drove forward and said, "Balshji leader, please get in love quickly. I wonder what you are doing here?"

"If you come back to Master Fang, this is the area of ​​my Bayan tribe. Because my Wudan told me in the air that an army was coming from near me, I thought that another tribe was coming to snatch the grassland of my Bayan tribe, so I brought people to see it. Unexpectedly, it was Lord Fang, a warrior from the Song Kingdom. Please forgive me if you offend me." Nabalshji stood up and said respectfully.

"Ha. Hehe, so that's the case. I'm passing by here, but I didn't expect to disturb you. Please forgive me if the inconvenience is inconvenience." Fang Yu also got off the horse and said politely to Balshji.

"It's okay. It's okay. I wonder what happened to Lord Fang lead his warriors here?" Balshji asked respectfully, his eyes full of inquisitive expressions. The army in front of him with bright armor made him feel very uneasy.

"It's nothing. My Song envoy has had some conflicts with the Liao Kingdom this time. Both sides fought in Dading Prefecture. Now they are hiding the pursuit of tens of thousands of troops from Liao Kingdom." Fang Yu seemed to say it casually, but his eyes were staring at Balshji's face. Seeing how he reacted, it would be easy to know what these tribes have towards the Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom.

Balshji was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Fang, has your country started a war with the Khitans again?"

"Ha. Hehe, that's not. I took my men and I to kill the 4,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom on the border between the Song and Liao countries a few days ago, and killed Han Rang, their army guard in front of their Xijin Mansion. This time I went to Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Longxu wanted to kill me to avenge them. I was angry and killed out of Dading Mansion. When I passed by Guidi, I would like to forgive the people of Balshji." Fang Yu smiled slightly, and his words were soft and hard. While shining his force at the other party, he also expressed his kindness to Balshji's trip, which depends on what the other party did.

Na Barshiji opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Not only did they live a hard life, but they were always bullied by others in terms of force. Their local area is close to the Shangjing Linhuang Mansion of Liao Kingdom, and they have been bullied by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom on weekdays. In their hearts, Barshiji hated the Khitans very much, but on the surface, he would never dare to offend the Khitans, otherwise there would be danger of the deceased tribe. Last year, he participated in Halloween and witnessed Fang Yu's bravery with his own eyes. For warriors like Fang Yu, people who are used to the prey of the weak on the grassland, they see Fang Yu again today. Logically speaking, they should have captured Fang Yu and tried to please the Khitans. After all, they live in the Khitans.

Under his nose, he couldn't afford to offend the Khitans, but Balshji looked at Fang Yu in front of him. The impression he left last year and the impression Fang Yu gave him now made Balshji tell himself that the Song warrior in front of him should not be offended. Although he had more troops in terms of his own side, he looked at the Song army's team, the distinctive armor and the rigorous square formation, which was much stronger than his Balshji's subordinates in terms of momentum. Thinking that neither side could offend him, Balshji really didn't know what to do. If these Song people were let go, the Khitans would not let their Bayan tribe go, and they would not let these Song people go, and they would fight off their own people. The other tribe members who were not protected by the young and strong men would eventually die.

Fang Yu looked at Balshji's expression and knew that this person was in a dilemma. Moreover, judging from the appearance of the head of the Bayan tribe, this person is also an honest person and not very cunning. Fang Yu has always had a good impression of such an honest person, and said immediately: "Balshji's head of the head of the Bayan tribe.

If I can help, can I tell you what is difficult? If I can refuse, I hope to make friends with you, Barshijitouren."

Fang Yu's words made Balshji feel more fond of Fang Yu. The psychological balance also tilted towards Fang Yu. Although Fang Yu said more of the diplomatic polite words, Balshji was just a small tribe leader. Although he was not stupid, he had no knowledge. At that moment, the other Fang Yu said: "Mr. Fang doesn't know anything. There are only more than 5,000 people in my Bayan tribe, but there are only more than 1,500 people in war. It is a small tribe. It is a good place to rely on this place and live a barely life. However, here we rely on the Khitans to go to the capital, and we are very restricted by them. If we let Lord Fang go today, the Khitans will not let my tribe go after the incident."

Balshji had some thoughts about telling the truth so honestly. He had always heard people telling people how wealthy and prosperous the Song people were. This made Balshji feel some in his heart want to take his tribesmen to the Song Dynasty, but he had no way to go. Of course, the bigger reason was that they could not pass through the territory of the Khitans. Fang Yu naturally didn't know what Balshji was thinking. After hearing his words, Fang Yu pondered for a while and said, "I know your sufferings. If you are willing, why not follow my tribe to move north with me and find a place with abundant water and land to settle down."

"It's good, but now those good places are occupied by people, how can our tribe get that place with abundant water and grass?" Balshji expressed his question in embarrassment, thinking that if there is a good place, I would have gone early and waited for you to come.

"Ha, hehe..." Fang Yu laughed and said, "Barshji. Don't forget that we still have a knife in our hands. We have a good spot. What are some people afraid of? Let's take it over."

In the north, the most important thing is to take advantage of the weak. After hearing Fang Yu's words, Balshji not only did not disgust, but he became more respectful to Fang Yu. He only felt that this was what a great hero did, and he deserved to be a warrior of a generation. He thought in his heart that if he could grab a good pasture for his tribe members, it would be much better than if his tribe members lived under the eyes of the Khitans. He had made up his mind and bowed again: "If Lord Fang can find a place to settle down for our tribe, our tribe is willing to obey Lord Fang's orders."

Balshji expressed his initial intention to surrender to Fang Yu. This result naturally made Fang Yu very happy. At this time, one more friend would be less enemy. Fang Yu hurriedly mixed up Balshji and said, "The head of Balshji does not need so much politeness. In the future, you and I will be brothers, and your tribe members will be my tribe members. I will definitely let everyone live a good life."

The two made their promises in front of the two armies. Then Balshji led his subordinates to the Hui tribe first and prepared to work in the relocation area. Fang Yu and the others stationed on the spot and rested for a day and a night.

The Dading Mansion of Liao Kingdom and the Iron Wa Yin'an Hall in the imperial palace seemed a little cold on this winter night.

Yelu Longxu looked at the secret report in his hand and frowned tightly. This was the secret report sent by Zuo Jinwu, which was about the affairs of Fang Yu and others. What surprised Yelu Longxu was that the envoys of Song did not flee south, but fled to the north, which made all the heavy troops arranged by Yelu Longxu on the southward road useless. It was too late to set up heavy troops in the north. Zuo Jinwu's 20,000 flying wolf cavalry has not yet caught up with the team of Song. He only learned about the news that these people went north in a small town that was robbed.

Yelu Longxu dropped the secret report in his hand, rubbed his brows, thinking to himself, people say that the southerners are too cunning, and the two top scholars in the state of Song are indeed cunning. The grasslands in the north are so big that it is really not easy to catch them if they really want to escape there. Yelu Longxu gently tapped the armrest of the chair for a while, looked at the attendant beside him, and said, "Go and bring Xiao Shi to me and Xuan to the palace."

The nearby servant responded, and after a stick of incense, he brought Xiao Shilan over. After Xiao Shilan kowtowed to Yelu Longxu, Yelu Longxu said, "I asked you to come. There is something for you to do. You will go to the north to send you to various tribes in the north tomorrow. He told them that anyone who kills Fang Yu, the envoy of Song State, will grant him a king and reward a thousand gold. If you let these people pass through, I will send a large army to kill his entire clan."

After Yelu Longxu finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Shilan with a gloomy face and added: "This time, all tribes with different intentions must be eliminated regardless of their size. Therefore, your task this time is not only to pass on that sentence for me, but also to observe which tribes have different intentions. Remember, don't mess up the matter again this time."

After Xiao Shilan made a prudent guarantee to Yelu Longxu, he received the imperial edict written by Yelu Longxu in advance and returned to prepare to go on a mission to the tribes in the north.

On the same night, the same cold moment, thousands of miles away, Empress Dowager Liu also received a secret letter in her hand.
