"Master Qianhu, the matter is settled! Zhou Qi has already sent a message. On the twenty-sixth of this month, Zhang Degui will smuggle a large number of goods from the coast outside the east gate of Jinzhou City to the Tartars! Look, it's at this location!"

Tian Wei ran out into the official hall with a happy expression. He rushed to the wall and pointed to the mouth of the Xiaoling River in the Jinzhou topography, with an anxious smile on his face.

Li Xiao and Wu Liang, who were discussing affairs in the official hall, looked at each other and smiled unconsciously.

"Damn it, after waiting for so many days, I can finally do it!" Tian Wei rubbed his frozen face with his hands, and his face was still full of joy.

"It's very good. It's not bad to get a good fortune. Tian Wei, go and call Wang Yishou, Mo Changrong, Duan Shiqi, Chen Houzi and discuss it carefully." Li Xiao's face was also full of excitement.

When Tian Wei heard this, he agreed repeatedly, and like a rabbit, he rushed out of the official hall and left.

Soon, the people arrived. Candlelight reflected everyone's faces full of excitement and expectation.

Li Xiao nodded to Wu Liang first. Wu Liang understood and then stood up and said to everyone, "Dear generals, you all know that our generals are moving to Shandong."

Tian Wei interrupted from the side: "We all know, didn't it mean that Wu Zanhua had already negotiated with Liu Zeqing and asked our army to go to Longkoudun, Mading Town, Huang County?"

"That's true. Now the Qianhu Lord wants to deal with the matter of seizing property with our army's move to Shandong. In other words, after seizing property, all the personnel from Dun will go to Shandong immediately." Wu Liang said.

Everyone was in a commotion, and Mo Changrong asked in confusion: "Mr. Li, why did you do it together, but you are not too anxious?"

"Yes, there are only three days before these twenty-six days. Wouldn't it be hasty to act together?"

"That's right, it's better to move after the New Year. Isn't it very inconvenient to run on the road during the New Year?"

Everyone told their thoughts one after another, and Li Xiao's expression was serious.

After everyone finished speaking, Li Xiao looked around and said calmly: "Everyone, do you think that after we did such a thing as robbing money, can we still stay in this Bugui Dun?"

There was silence around.

Li Xiao sighed lightly and continued, "The big light cloth store Zhang Degui, but a small shopkeeper can make this smuggling activity so big. If there are no Liaodong generals behind him, he has the courage to act like this? If our army seizes property, it will inevitably leak news. Which of these generals and gates with implicated behind them will let us go? I am afraid that before our army's treasures are hot, these generals will immediately come to raise troops to question. Our army's military strength is weak, so what is its opponent? Therefore, I believe that after our army seizes the treasures, we must immediately take Quandun personnel out of Jinzhou and go to Shandong, which is the only way to protect it."

As soon as Li Xiao said this, he suddenly felt silent.

Li Xiao's thoughtful words made it impossible for all his subordinates to refute.

"How should we evacuate then?" Duan Shiqian asked from the side.

Wu Liang took the conversation: "I have been discussing this matter for a long time with Lord Qianhu. The current plan is to immediately put all the property, gold and silver on the ship after completing the robbery, and then the entire army returned to Buguidun. After all the personnel gathered together in Buguidun, Benzanhua, Tian Wei and Wang Yishou took all the cavalry, and brought all the horses and prepared the rations and horse beans needed on the road, and went to Shandong by land. Lord Qianhu, Chen Houzi, Mo Changrong, and Duan Shiqi led all the infantry and the families of all Dun personnel to take the luggage of each family in Dun, and took the captured ship to cross the sea to Shandong."

After Wu Liang finished speaking, Chen Houzi asked, "Since this ship is loaded with goods, can we take away our infantry and family?"

Before Li Xiao could speak, Tian Wei spoke from the side, "Monkey, you really think carefully. According to my opinion, it should be possible. Zhou Qi told me that Zhang Degui spent a lot of money on delivery this time, using a No. 2 lucky ship. This ship is amazing. It is said that the water is more than 1 meter deep. In addition to the sailors on the ship, it can also carry more than 800 fully armed soldiers. Our cavalry and horses are on land, so there is no need to count them. Our army has only 90 infantrymen, and more than 280 family members in the pier. Even if they are loaded with the wealth, gold and silver, they will definitely be more than enough."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "It's so great! Everyone should be prepared these days and organize their luggage to avoid panic at that time."

Everyone agreed, and Li Xiao lowered his voice and said to Wu Liang: "Mr. Wu, I have something to leave to you these days."

Wu Liang bowed and said, "Sanhou Qianhou, please give me instructions."

"You go and see Dr. Chen Mazi and Zhang Tongzhu Blacksmith immediately and ask if they are willing to join our army. If they are willing, they can move to my Buguidun as soon as possible. Our army will definitely give them generous treatment."

"My sir, but I hope these two men will go to Shandong with our army?" Wu Liang asked.

"That's the meaning. These two people have a good relationship with our army and have greatly helped our army. I am thinking that these two are not local people in Jinzhou, so there should be no thought of being unable to leave their hometowns. Of course, if the two of them are unwilling to do so, I will never force them." Li Xiao said calmly.

"Okay, students will definitely do this as soon as possible." Wu Liang said quickly.

"What are the objections to everyone?" Li Xiao asked.

Everyone did not speak out.

Li Xiao stood up, walked to the edge of the map, and said with a bright look: "Since that's the case, let's discuss the relevant arrangements for our army's operations in this wealth-taking operation."

......

The north wind is cold, the snow is flying, and dark red clouds fill the dusk sky.

"Hurry up, don't be as if he is not full! Hurry up to the beach. If the snow is heavy and the car is stuck, it will be troublesome!" Zhang Degui, wearing a thick fox fur, rode on a strong horse, galloping back and forth, anxiously urging up to twenty large cars to travel east in the snow.

The more than a hundred swordsmen in cotton armor next to him were also shouting loudly, urging the people escorting the car to catch the car quickly.

Suddenly, a shaking horse cries came from the front, and several people dressed as swordsmen rushed over.

A swordsman turned over and dismounted with a brilliant smile on his face and leaned over to Zhang Degui and said, "The boss has already contacted him. After the small slope in front, he went to the beach. Our No. 2 lucky ship that was transporting goods from Jin Kingdom is waiting for us on the coast."

Zhang Degui nodded with satisfaction, although there was no expression on his face, his heart was extremely happy.

In this year-end transaction, the amount of goods smuggled by Zhang Degui was very huge. Therefore, in order to ensure insurance, he personally deposited the goods and brought all the friends and swordsmen.

The soldiers guarding the city in Jinzhou City, the commander-in-chief of the inspection department and the guards along the road have been prepared, so the entire convoy has been unobstructed from the beginning of the morning to the present.

Now, it's finally almost at the beach.

Unlike the previous goods transporting grain, porcelain, iron, salt, oxen and other goods, Zhang Degui originally transported cloth, silk, satin, and gold and silver.

Zhang Degui knew that the Tartars were about to celebrate the New Year now. And every time the New Year was over, these valuable items were particularly sold. The Jurchens' New Year customs were similar to those of the Han people, and they paid attention to removing the old and looking for new clothes and new looks. These excellent precious fabrics were very popular among the Jurchen nobles. Zhang Degui could predict that within ten days, these twenty carts of thousands of pieces of cloth and satin would be sold out in the Later Gold.

The No. 2 Fuhuo Boat returned from the Tartars was loaded with a lot of local Jurchen products, such as fur, Dongzhu, ginseng and other goods. Since Zhang Degui had a long-term good relationship with the Tartars, the Jurchens trusted him and allowed him to transport the items back to the Ming Dynasty first, and then pay with silver next time the goods were delivered.

Zhang Degui, whose eyebrows and beard were covered with snowflakes, felt even more excited and anxious when he thought of the huge profits he was about to get, and he urged the people to hurry up and drive forward.

Zhang Degui suddenly remembered something. He looked around and asked the man who had just reported the message, "Why didn't Zhou Qi, who went with you, come back?"

The man was also shocked and said hurriedly: "Hey, this guy Zhou Qi, came back with us just now. Could it be that this guy is in a hurry and can he go to get rid of his hands?"

Zhang Degui frowned and shouted loudly: "Don't care about him! I'll hurry up to the beach and seize the time to load and transport goods."

The wind and snow became heavier, but the light became darker, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of crystal white snow. Looking from the sky, this huge smuggling team was like a small black snake moving forward silently, climbing quietly towards the beach along the frozen Xiaoling River bank.

When Zhang Degui and his group finally arrived at the small slope on the beach, they did not notice that in the dense forest on the mountain, there had been a group of soldiers who had been ambushing for a long time, watching them walk to the beach quietly.

This ambush team is Li Xiao’s Buguidun Army.

The coldness of more than ten degrees below zero and the wind and snow weather made Li Xiao's army, who had been ambushing in the dense forest for about half an hour, was frozen to the point where his hands and feet were almost numb. Although everyone was dressed very thickly, it still couldn't stop the biting cold.

The cavalrymen depended on each other, although they were also lying on the ground, but the men and horses snuggled up to each other to keep warm. Poor the infantrymen had to rely on their own life to hold on, and some people fainted from the cold.

However, in such a cold and snowy day, if this person faints and does not wake up in time, he is likely to be frozen into a disabled or even frozen to death. Therefore, as soon as these infantry fell into a coma, they were immediately awakened by the soldiers next to him.

Time passed by every minute, and the originally high morale of the ambushed soldiers began to fade away. Many people felt that the waiting time was so long, like a long road without seeing the end.

The Zhang Degui smuggling team, who finally arrived, made all the soldiers, including Li Xiao, breathe a sigh of relief. The morale of the entire army suddenly boosted.

However, they still lurked silently, silently watching the smuggling team crossing the hillside, coming to the seaside in the distance, and parked on the beach in front of the No. 2 Fubo Boat that had already landed.

Seeing Zhang Degui and his group arrive, the No. 2 lucky ship finally began to break down and position it, then set up the gangway board, ready to unload the goods and then load it.

Li Xiao secretly admired the high vigilance of these smugglers. If Zhang Degui and others did not come as promised because of the matter, this No. 2 lucky ship could turn around and leave at any time because it had not broken down.

Li Xiao couldn't help but feel secretly glad. Fortunately, he was so angry that he did not attack rashly when Zhang Degui and others passed the hillside just now. Otherwise, even if he grabbed Zhang Degui's convoy, the No. 2 lucky ship would have escaped.

A loud swan horn sounded loudly in the quiet snow at dusk.

Zhang Degui and others, who were busy unloading and transporting goods, were frightened to see a rushing down an iron-clad army from the small hill behind them.

Li Xiao's army finally attacked!

A few hundred steps away, an iron-armored cavalry composed of more than 50 people quickly formed a wedge-shaped battle formation, and rushed towards the swordsman team of more than 100 people who were rushing to form a formation with a shocking momentum!
Chapter completed!
