Wanyan Uguru is undergoing the transformation from teenager to adulthood.

Winter in the forest is beginning to come.

The snowflakes and the wind are not cold together.

It's like a goose feather slowly floating down and falling on a human head, almost feeling nothing.

More than a thousand Wanyan people went to the north and didn't give them much time. Once it was the season of storms and snow, the jungle would no longer be suitable for travel, let alone wars, and even horses could not walk. If they were not in a building that could block the wind and snow, people would not be able to live the night.

Ganqi lived in a tent, sitting around the fire. He knew that it was just winter, and after some time, the temperature of tens of degrees below zero was enough to freeze everything, including the extremely cold-resistant Jurchens.

The land of Yanyun has been in chaos recently, with bandits everywhere, and grain prices are still high. Yelu Yixin strictly ordered all places to go to the mountains to suppress the bandits, while winning over all Yanyun's officials and consolidating his position. Compared with suppressing the bandits, it is more important to operate Yanyun into an ironclad piece, which is the most important foundation of Yelu Yixin.

Because Yelu Yixin felt that he was in great danger, he even slowly locked in the mastermind behind the scenes, that is, the crown prince Yelu Jun, and the eldest son of Emperor Yelu Hongji. Although Yelu Yixin has no real evidence, he just thinks that the crown prince Yelu Jun is playing him behind his back.

The reason is very simple, because Yelu Yixin also has the surname Yelu, and Yelu Yixin is now the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court, with a high position and a powerful army, and his commander is like clouds. It is a threat to the imperial power and a threat to the prince.

Of course, this kind of thing has a tradition in the Liao Kingdom.

Moreover, if you can plan such a big thing behind the scenes, you can't find anyone in the court. After thinking about it, it's the crown prince. Because this crown prince Yelu Jun is the only son of Yelu Hongji, the only son of no competitor, and no other prince can guard against it, so he guards against Yelu Yixin, the Privy Council envoy of the Southern Court.

The rebellion of the kings in the North and South Courts has learned from the past. Even in later martial arts stories, Xiao Feng, among the Tianlong Ba Division, has faced such a thing.

In Yanyun, bandits were suppressing everywhere. The bandits in the mountains were really difficult to suppress, especially before these people entered the mountains, they brought a lot of food, which made it even more difficult to suppress.

Especially the big thief Ma Bulls in the east, which have money and food, are not only difficult to suppress, but even more and more people are suppressing. Countless beggars on the roadside are heading east, and even many figures in the martial arts world are heading east.

For several neighboring prefectures and counties, the matter of suppressing bandits is another matter. The most important thing is to intercept those who go to surrender everywhere. Countless military soldiers set up checkpoints and intercept them on all roads, blocking those who go to surrender and preventing the bandits from becoming bigger and bigger.

Gan Qi from Wanyan tribe became more and more anxious as time passed, because the snow fell heavier as time went by, so he could not stay in Wanyan tribe for the winter, and he had to walk out of the jungle and go back.

So Ganqi began to get anxious, and even sent one or two Jurchens north to inquire about news from time to time, but the jungle was vast and sparsely populated, so there was no news.

Ganba, a bodybuilder, was naked in the snow, repeatedly moving a large stone to slap it, and he was following Uguru, who had just grown up. He also found a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms and learned from Ganba to slap it.

After the two of them finished fighting, they were steaming all over and feasted with their meat.

"Here I'm back!"

"The Wanyan people are back."

Shouts were everywhere.

Gan Qi rushed out of the tent excitedly, and from a distance he saw nothing.

Uguru quickly climbed up a tree and was overjoyed. A figure appeared in the forest at the end of his vision. Uguru hurriedly shouted to Ganqi: "Boyi Aha, many Boyi Aha, have won, have won. Wanyan has won."

Ganqi had already found a horse, turned over and took Uguru to greet him.

The teams stretched out in the snow, and the slaves tied together could not see the end at all.

Wanyan Wugunai walked in the front of the queue by horse. He did not wear iron armor, but everyone around him was wearing iron armor. Such a leader did not wear iron armor in battle, but gave iron armor to others. The reason why the small Wanyan tribe could rise is probably in these details.

Gan Qi and Wugunai smiled and greeted each other. They just said their own words, and no one could understand each other's words, but it did not prevent them from smiling at each other.

Uguru hurriedly went up to inquire about the situation, then smiled and said to Ganqi: "My master, there are no Tieli anymore, there are 1,200 men, many thousand women and children."

The Wanyan tribe won this battle and completely defeated the Tieli tribe. With its excellent weapons, dozens of sets of iron armor and one hundred hard bows, the Wanyan tribe completely rose in this jungle. There was no more powerful tribe than the Wanyan tribe in the vicinity of hundreds of miles.

"I only have eight hundred." Gan Qi looked at the scene and knew that Wanyan's tribe was about to rise.

Gan Qi was actually a little worried and a vague worry in his heart at this time. These Jurchens are really too capable to fight. As long as they have weapons and equipment, their combat power will increase exponentially.

If there were thousands of Jurchen iron armor, this would be unimaginable. Gan Qi knew that this was going to happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect that it would happen decades in advance because of himself.

Fortunately, the Liao Kingdom today is much stronger than the Liao Kingdom decades later.

Nowadays, the Jurchens are very strong, so strong that they are almost invincible. The Jurchens are not comparable to those of the army after the founding of the Jin Dynasty. After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there were no more real Jungle Jurchens in the army, but most of them were Han people, grassland people, Khitan people, Xi people, Bohai people, etc., and there were a variety of people.

The combat effectiveness of this kind of army is much worse than that of an army composed entirely of the Jurchens.

Perhaps, the sudden rise of Jurchens at this time is still a good thing for Gan Qi to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As long as the Wanyan tribe rises, the enemies they directly face will be the Liao people in Huanglong Mansion and Ningjiang Prefecture. The Wanyan tribe will be the nightmare of the Liao people.

Thinking of this, Gan Qi did not ask for the fifty sets of iron armor after accepting the eight hundred Jurchen men. Even when Wanyan Wuguna wanted to return Gan Qi's iron armor, Gan Qi refused and gave it to Wanyan Wuguna directly.

Gan Qi hopes that Wanyan tribe will go to war with the Liao Kingdom.

Perhaps there is no need for Gan Qi's hope, nor does it require Wanyan's tribe to take the initiative. The Liao people would come to the door on their own initiative, because in this jungle, the Liao people did not allow a tribe as awesome as Wanyan's tribe.

After asking for eight hundred young and strong people, Wanyan Wuguna also gave some women and children.

Gan Qi packed up his things and left without stopping for a long time. Because he was afraid of the storm and snow, he couldn't get out of here. He really had to stay in the jungle and be the king of the jungle.

Uguru cried and turned around three times in one step, reluctantly following Ganqi to the southeast.

Gan Qi, the governor of the two routes of Hebei, recruited a thousand savage troops.

This is not a big deal. Two strategies to manage such a large official position, take charge of military and political affairs in one place, and recruit a thousand troops, is nothing, and it is not even a small thing.

When Ganqi crossed the Bohai Sea again, it was when the northern cold air mass was heading south, and the ship speed was like the wind and dozens of large ships arrived in Cangzhou.

After getting off the boat, the first thing I did was to quickly write a letter to the emperor of Bianliang and give a simple report on Yanyun's recent affairs and the affairs of Hebei two routes.

Then, Gan Qi was not in a hurry to return to the Xiongzhou border, but began to train No. 1,000 Jurchen soldiers, basic queues, basic battlefield command, drums and charge, and sound gold to withdraw troops...

I still need a horse, but I lack a horse, so I have to find a way to get a horse.

There are a thousand sets of iron armor, Gan Qi, and there are weapons, and there are also Gan Qi, and there are some shortages of bows and crossbows, but the entire Hebei two roads are under control, and these thousand good crossbows cannot be missing.

Uguru was appointed as the deputy commander of this thousand people by Ganqi, and named the Crane Camp. Uguru was the deputy commander of the battalion, and the commander of the battalion was Ganba.

After the Jurchens were about to finish their work, Gan Qicai went to Xiongzhou.

When I arrived in Dexiongzhou, the first thing I did was to start a deliberation. Gan Qi himself entered the deliberation and monopolized the operation.

He had too many supplies, including food, cloth, salt and tea.

Yanyun merchants who knew that the Xiongzhou Quochang began to sell grain, cloth, salt and tea again flocked to him.

But local businessmen were gritting their teeth and scolding each other. Such a good opportunity to make money, the strategic commander actually took the exclusive possession of such a good opportunity to make money.

The letters complained were like snowflakes and thoughts of Bianliang.

The new emperor Zhao Shu may also be under a lot of pressure.

But Gan Qi couldn't care about so much, and the entire market was surrounded by people sent by Di Qing. This business had to be monopolized by Gan Qi himself because he had used millions of chunks of money and had to earn some capital back.

Gan Qi personally sat in the court and saw merchants coming from Yanyun one by one.

"The villain Li Sida, I have met his wife." Li Sida, who is not young, in his forties or fifties, has white hair, and his two goatee beards have been meticulously taken care of, and his face is full of excitement. He is one of the first people to know that the Xiongzhou market has started selling salt, tea, cloth and grain. He knows that he is going to make a fortune.

Even though Li Sida saw that the soldiers and soldiers behind Gan Qi looked fierce and fierce, he was not afraid at all, and just wanted to make a fortune as soon as possible.

"What are you going to buy?" Gan Qi drank tea and stepped on a charcoal stove under his feet. It started to snow heavily in Hebei, and the weather was cold and the ground was frozen.

"The villain mainly wants to buy food, followed by cloth." Li Sida said respectfully. Winter is coming, and Yan Yun needs these two things the most.

Gan Qi nodded: "Well, the grain can be sold, what price do you pay?"

Li Sida asked tentatively: "The grain villain is willing to give two deeds and one stone."

Gan Qi refused to comment, but asked again: "What is the price of Yanyun's grain now?"

"When I came back to my husband, Yan Yun's food is now coming out." Li Sida was showing off his cleverness, and he thought Gan Qi didn't know.

"Is that so? I've only just surpassed two stakes? Why did I hear that Yanyun's grain price has exceeded three stakes?"

"My husband, what's wrong is all rumor. If the food price can exceed Sanguan, how can the people survive?"

"Don't you dare to deceive me in person? Come and take this person down to prison." Gan Qi shook the big red official robe that he hadn't worn for a long time, majestic.

The evil spirits on both sides have already stepped forward.

Li Sida hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't let each other be angry, please don't let each other be angry, the villain is guilty, the villain shouldn't speak nonsense, please don't let each other be angry."

Gan Qi raised his hand slightly, and the fierce spirit on both sides retreated, and then said, "The price of grain is easy to say, it's not impossible for you to make a fortune. Not to mention two pillars and one stone, I can sell you five pillars and five pillars and one stone."

Li Sida was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he asked, "Mr., what my husband said is serious?"

"Take it seriously."

Li Sida kowtowed repeatedly: "The villain thanks my husband for his great kindness, and the villain also represents the people of Yan Yun who are not fed and uncovered in their bodies to thank him for his great kindness."

"It's not that easy for you to make this money." Gan Qi is becoming more and more skilled now.

Yanyun's high grain price will continue to last for a while, but Gan Qi also knew that it would not last long, because when the new grain was planted from the land the next year, the grain price would inevitably plummet. Wheat can be planted in winter and harvested in late spring. Now it is winter. Soon after the Chinese New Year, the new wheat will grow.

Gan Qi had to ship the goods, at least earning back the capital before Xinmai came out. Yanyun's grain price could fall because the bandits had already risen, and the next thing was to raise the thieves.

Whoever comes to raise it will naturally be Gan Qi to raise it, giving food and weapons. As soon as spring comes, the cows will rage to the prefectures, and they will steal a few cities first. Gan Qi is even willing to help him grab one.

Just waiting for spring, the Wanyan Jurchens in the north also rose.

Gan Qi will start to move this winter, and the overall situation has taken shape.

"I don't know what my husband needs to do?" Li Sida asked anxiously. As long as he transported all five grains to Yanyun, it would be a lot of money.

"Simple, I want a horse, do you dare to be lucky? A good horse, if you count as eighty stagnant of money, can be exchanged for 51 stagnant of food." Gan Qi threw out a huge benefit.

Horses were expensive in the Song Dynasty. Even in Xiongzhou, a good horse could be sold for 70 or 80 jin of coins. If transported to the south, it would be easier to spend more than 100 jin. Horses of this era were like Ferrari Lamborghini in later cars. It was normal that they were more than ten times more expensive than cows.

But horses are not so expensive in Liao Kingdom. Even if they are good horses or war horses, they cannot sell for forty or fifty cents of money. This is still in Yanyun. If they are on the grassland, it will be even less worth the price.

Therefore, smuggling horses is a big business in itself. Few people dare to do this business without any brainstorming. On the border of Liao, they are even more cautious in controlling horses.
