In the fifteenth year of King An of Zhou, he was in the Jiawu period.

This is the seventh year after Modi's death.

On a wasteland northeast of Gaoliu, Zhao State, a team of cavalry was rushing.

The knights were all wearing short brown trousers of the Mohist charity master, and a long sword hung on the saddle, which was more than three feet long, showing that it was not a copper sword, which was the iron sword that had begun to appear in all countries today.

The sword body is straight and has a ring head. You can tell at a glance that this is the standard iron sword of the Mohist righteous master.

The horse's hooves were running, and there were indeed Zhao Ke's wrists, which were as strong as a meteor.

This group of people is a company with 150 people.

When they reached a high ground, the company commander blew a bronze whistle, and it was really prohibited. More than a hundred people all pulled their horses and lined up quickly.

Under the high ground, one man rode a maroon horse with white spots on his forehead and ran towards him.

After staying on the high ground, everyone saw that there was a person tied to the horse behind him and was struggling.

When the company commander saw the man approaching, he asked, "Mi, who asked you to arrest people? Isn't this a warning? You also learned it from Peixian Academy. Now Sima is in charge of more than 20 people, and he doesn't even know this?"

The slander captive Mi threw the man behind the ground and smiled and said, "Company Commander, I have to blame me for this matter. I followed behind, but they had already set their sights on me. The three of them wanted to catch me, but when I saw that it was exposed, I had to kill one and catch one and ask."

The representative of the company knew that he was not a ignorant person, so he nodded and said, "If this is the case, it would be true. How about it?"

The prisoner Mi nodded and said, "More than 200 people, more than 50 big cars. If you have guns, you should be going to trade with the Lou Annoying."

He got off the horse, walked to the ground and was still struggling by the man, pulled out the iron sword and pressed it behind the man, untied the rope strangled on his mouth with one hand.

Once the captured man's mouth was untied, he said, "You'd better not worry about this matter. These transactions are all participated by nobles. You have already made too many enemies, so why bother to die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard behind him and fell to the ground.

After the illegitimate prisoner Mi, who was behind him, shouted, "National nobles... My father has even captured King Yue and King Chu. How expensive is the person behind you?"

I felt disdainful, but I didn't scold me.

Seeing this, the representative laughed and said, "You also know the rules of Gaoliu trading. Not to mention that the trading can only be in Gaoliu, just talk about the goods you trade... Anyone with smuggled iron swords, stirrups, leather armor, guns, copper and gunpowder privately and trading privately will be killed. We are eyeing you, and we will naturally know what you are shipping."

"Since you are following this path, I think you are familiar with it. You must have seen hanged people hanging on the trees outside Gaoliu City? Why can't you transport these great principles of dealing with the Hu people? I won't tell you, you know. After the nobles, our Mohist family only cares about the rules and laws of heaven. When did they care about the nobles?"

Since Qu Jiang led more than 80 Mohist families to station in Gaoliu seven years ago, Gaoliu has gradually become an important city for the exchanges between Linhu and Loufan.

Two or three hundred miles north of this place, there is a large lake and grasslands, with abundant water and grass. It is the place where various tribes of Linhu Loufan are recuperated.

Both the Mohist family also provided more materials commonly used by the Hu people in exchange for horses and sheepskins, but there were strict regulations on some special commodities that were not allowed to trade with each other.

This was recognized by Zhao Hou and designated as a decree, but many smuggled.

Many businessmen have a noble background behind them. Every time they go, they make a lot of profits, especially the banned stirrups, iron swords, arrows, etc.

At this time, the Hu people were still in the bronze and stone stage, with very few copper, and arrows were mostly made of bones. A complete set of stirrup saddles could be replaced with a high-quality horse, and horses were necessary materials for each noble to increase their strength.

The high profits and the military and political uses hidden behind them are often destined, and there are often corpses hanging high on trees to warn you outside Gaoliu City.

The captured people thought of some rumors about the Mo family and the corpse hanging outside Gaoliu City that they had seen before, and finally shivered.

The prisoner Mi cursed: "If you want to be a 'righteous man' who is loyal to your master, then don't say anything. Isn't it beautiful to die? If you still want to live, say whatever you ask. He is hesitant, not a good person."

The man hesitated for a moment, and looked at the swords that these people were holding flashing cold light. He knew that these people were not false words and did not worry about the nobles behind him who killed people. He had to nod and signaled to speak.

“What is shipped?”

"Iron Sword, Stirrup."

"What to change?"

"horses."

“Where to trade?”

“In the valley north of Xiushui.”

"How many people are there in total?"

"Two hundred and forty people, forty guns, and twenty bows, all with swords."

"Who is behind it?"

After asking this, the captured man finally remained silent, thought for a long time, and slowly said, "Qi and lord."

Que Yujun, named Zhao Lan, was a branch that Zhao Xianzi divided during his reign. The fief of Que Yu was Que Yu, and he was a nobleman of the Duke of Zhao.

But after hearing this name, the person who asked was not panicked, nor was he trembling. He just asked quietly: "How many times have you traded?"

"Three times...this is the third time."

After asking a few more questions, the company commander asked someone to take him back. The company representative summoned the backbone of the company to discuss.

The slander captive Mi was already Sima Chang, and he became a Mozhe when he was in Peidi. Such a backbone discussion on the synonym society naturally had to participate.

Nine people sat on the ground and formed a circle, and the company commander said, "Qi and you are involved in it, this is interesting."

The sanctioned and indifferent expression appeared on the face of the prisoner Mi and said, "Everyone knows that Que and Jun and Gongzi Chao have a good relationship. It seems that the dispute between the young master of Zhao State is really interesting. In order to fight for the throne, let alone Lin Hu Loufan, I am afraid that a barbarian who is ten times more cruel and cruel can also make friends."

"What are the people in the eyes of these people? They are just pigs and dogs in captivity. As long as they can eat their flesh and blood, not to mention dealing with Lin Hu, it is normal for them to lead Lin Hu soldiers to invade as long as they can get fief. The princes called China, but did the Shen Hou invite Quanrong to Haojing back then, and all women can take their own property?"

He is a typical young man from the new generation who grew up in Pei County. He has received radical education since childhood. He has always been disdainful of noble martial ethics and other words, and is a little arrogant about the old rules.

The representative of the company yelled and cursed: "It is useless to reason with them. It's just a bit difficult to do. Two or three hundred people, there are carriages, crossbows and muskets. Our company has no cannons, so it's not easy to capture."

The sanctioned prisoner Mi suggested, "It's possible. Ask people to take the prisoner back to the border fort and gather troops. Our more than a hundred people will surround us first. If they dare to leave, we will attack; if they don't leave, we will wait for the people from the border fort to come and attack them. If they let them go directly, that's not possible."

It is more than 70 miles away from the border fort here. Not all the border forts are elite cavalry like them, many of them are infantry. If you wait until you pursue them, you may miss the opportunity.

The silly captive Mi received two years of formal military education in Pei County. After Mozi's death, the Si generation underwent many changes and established the "Si Shang Military Academy" that specializes in cultivating grassroots officers. In other words, the silly captive Mi was considered a graduate of the third phase.

After two years of formal military education, the basic company-level offensive, defense and military management were taught, as well as some simple military strategies. If a war really started, a large-scale expansion of the army was needed and all people with service experience were recruited, people like him could directly serve as company commanders and company representatives, but it was not necessary for the time being.

He was considered a "right and black" Mo. His father was the earliest member of the righteous army. He captured King Yue of Chu. If he stayed in Si, he would actually live a very comfortable life: Yu Tu, who cooperated with his father Shu Qing Wang, was now the commander of the brigade; his name was now the second-ranked figure of the Mo family; his father had the highest level of military merit in the army; when he was at the Si military academy, he was a member of the Cuju team in the army...

However, he was a restless person, full of passion and fanaticism among young people who were good at the world. He also had horses farming at home. Since he was a child, he volunteered to come to Gaoliu.

There are not many officers like him who are "professional" in Gaoliu.

The opinions were put forward, and the nine people discussed it. The company commander smiled and said, "You guy's head is very smart..."

The company commander's words also exposed his Mohist family. At this time, except for the Mohist family, the mainstream ideas in the world all believed that people's ideas came from the "heart" rather than the "brain".

Sometimes a simple sentence can reveal whether he is a man who is "an obvious fatherless person who has been mourning for three days for three days."

At this time, the convoys that traded contraband with Linhu were still dozens of miles away. The food carried in the company was enough to eat for seven days, and gunpowder was enough to fight a battle.

In terms of military system, they are considered "infantry knights". The main training is to dismount and form an army and fight in the infantry battle. They all ride horses mainly because most of the soldiers are local farmers, and they all have horses at home and rely on horse farming. They can ride horses normally since childhood.

Compared with the most elite trained "Martial Knights" who have been attacking with spears, their riding and horse fighting are not as good as the elite infantry brigades in Si Shang that have fought from the Battle of Hanshui to the Battle of the Most Battle, they are not as good as the battle in a formation. However, no one can match the pursuit, sneak attack, and battlefield maneuver.

In addition, their enemies were mainly Lin Hu and Loufan's tribal riders. The Mo family had muskets in their hands, iron swords at their waists, elite men and iron armors. The weapons were advantageous, and they could still be used as one to five... Lin Hu and Loufan's cavalry used a single bow at this time, and only thirty steps were allowed to ride and shoot, and the arrows were mostly bones, and there were no stirrups and saddles.

Although he is confident and arrogant, he is not as arrogant as he is. If a noble private soldier who besieged more than 200 people, his losses will be great.

In addition, those people have also learned the Mohist tactics on the grassland: they rely on cars to form formations to defend.
