Amidst the rising smoke, Hu Biao thought about it for the last time.
Thinking about some of the action plans made by their group in the past two days; trying to find some better methods or flaws in them.
Why? Because according to some historical data they learned in the modern dimension, the Northern Song Dynasty's army conquering the Liao Dynasty was about to face a huge defeat.
Three days later, Yang Shike's most elite unit, the vanguard of their West Route Army, would be defeated by the Liao soldiers.
Seven days later, the Eastern Route Army on the flanks would also be severely defeated by Xiao Qian.
At the same time, the West Route Army where they are located will start to retreat under the command of Zhong Shi Dao, who is called the "Lao Zhong Xianggong".
Eleven days later, the elite cavalry of the Liao soldiers came after them after receiving the news.
The two sides fought one battle after another, and the Northern Song Dynasty's army defeated the Liao Dynasty miserably, with corpses scattered along a long road hundreds of miles long.
The most vulnerable side of the Song Dynasty, like a paper tiger, was clearly exposed in front of the Jurchens, arousing the greed in the hearts of these people.
In other words, they only have 10 days at most for Xuange Camp to start taking action to change the above situation.

In the following time, Hu Biao and Yang Dongli began to take action.
The value of one piece can be sold for about a hundred cents.
Although the pearls in this bag are artificial pearls purchased in large quantities from the modern plane after Lang Qing first proposed it.
So Hu Biao said directly: "Commander Ma, I want to make more progress in the army, so that I can be loyal to the officials and the princes in the court.
After Yang Dongli and Hu Biao looked at each other, they knew that there really wasn't much tact when dealing with such a rude military man.
Even in a place like Bianliang where prices are high, you can buy a concubine who is pretty but not very talented for only thirty or fifty guan.
To be more precise, it was Yang Dongli who led Hu Biao who put a small bag of things into his arms. With a tacit understanding, the two of them headed towards the central area of the infantry camp, a place that looked slightly decent.
I walked past the tent at one point.
After seeing such a scene, even Guan Feng, a relatively young netizen who was only in his twenties, suddenly thought of a popular secondary idea in online articles in the early years:
The gears of history are turning quietly at this moment...
Then in the next moment, this guy's eyes widened.
So today, this Ma Dazhi became the breakthrough point in their plan...
Because in this small bag, there are not just some scattered silver, but seven or eight round pearls.
It is better to go straight forward and clearly show the carriage and horses.
The plan must be as thorough as possible.
But there are more movies inside. There is a large bowl of mutton beside the bowl, and there should be a jug of wine in another water hyacinth.
"The two little guys are so annoying that they make people feel uneasy even if they have a meal in the morning. Tell me quickly, what are you two doing to me?"
Later I have to go to Qiandu Yuhou to take orders, saying that our battalion will help dig trenches and prepare camp defenses. Everything can make people feel relaxed."
So regardless of the small amount of things in the bag, it is worth nearly 2,000 yuan. For a mid- to low-level officer like Commander Ma, it is already a lot of money.
But if it were replaced by some large and round-shaped top-quality pearls, just one pearl would have sold for 250 pearls in Guangzhou during the Jiayou period.
As for the role it brought, and its specific value, looking at the appearance of the commander of the Ma Dazhi Camp in front of him can already explain some problems.
After opening the door curtain and walking straight in, Hu and Biao could see the battalion commander Ma Dazhi, who was also eating a bowl of soup cakes.
After finally making up his mind, he coughed a few times and said calmly to Yang Dongli:
"Lao Yang, follow me, and everyone else should be ready. If it starts well, then everyone will act according to the plan."
After a while, the bodyguard came out.
He said very righteously: "Brother Yang, what kind of relationship do we have? Why should we be so polite? It's just a trivial matter. I will report it to the commander immediately."
Ma Dazhi was not a reserved person. Looking at the small bag in front of him, he thought it only contained some scattered silver, and his face showed obvious displeasure.
In addition, although this guy is very greedy for money, his reputation for collecting money and doing things is quite good.
There is some money here, which I can use to invite the superiors to have a few drinks together."
Every water is full of pearl fishing girls from the South China Sea, risking their lives to dive to fish out natural pearls.
Among the total 30 kilograms of artificial pearls, these seven or eight are just a very small part of them.
In the end, after smoking two horns in a row and his mouth was full of tobacco residue, Hu Biao did not think of any flaw in the original plan.
While speaking, he took out a small leather bag from his chest and placed it on a short table in front of Commander Ma.
According to the information reviewed by Hu Biao and others, the value of some of the small pearls is not high; 1,000 pearls can be sold for 5 pounds in Guangzhou, but after being shipped to Bianliang, the price can directly double.
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads one after another, either solemnly or with a hint of confusion and anxiety.
Yang Dongli, between different expressions, cut out three pieces of silver from a large piece of silver plate in his hand and stuffed them into the opponent's sleeves with great skill.
In terms of marching and fighting, he is a complete idiot; but in terms of withholding military pay and exclusive relationships, he is a good hand.
For example, Commander Ma was named Ma Dazhi. He relied on his brother-in-law's connections in the military to obtain the position of commander of the battalion.
He said to the two of them: "Captain Hu, Brother Yang, and Commander Ma ask you two to go in immediately."
Then, he asked the personal guard who was commanding the horse with a haha in his mouth:
His face suddenly brightened, as if he had seen someone taken advantage of.
Not only in the past time, I have heard a lot of gossip.
However, he still wiped the oil stains on his hands with the hem of his clothes and opened the bag in front of the two of them.
After the guard heard this, he thought that the three pieces of silver that had just been stuffed into his sleeves were worth at least two taels. If he included the money he had won from him in the previous two nights, the total would be at least seven or eight taels. back.
After a while, Commander Ma finally put away the greedy look on his face.
"Brother Zhang, are you still eating? Our Captain Hu has a small matter, and now we would like to ask to see Commander Ma. Please let me know."
If you make one wrong step during this period, you will pay an irreparable price and there will be no chance.
Why are you so sure? Because Hu and Biao could smell some very obvious odor of alcohol from the words that came out of this guy’s mouth:
As he spoke, he quickly stuffed a few pieces of fatty meat from the bowl into his mouth, swallowed it in large gulps, opened the tent door and walked in.
You know! In this day and age, there is no such thing as artificial pearls.
Suddenly, in the past two days, Yang Dongli bragged and farted with these guards from time to time, and even when camping at night to play for money, he deliberately lost some scattered money to them, so he immediately came out first.
While stuffing the bag into his arms, he made a promise in his mouth:
"Brother Hu, don't worry. After I finish my work in the morning, I will go and help you out immediately. Maybe you will be able to come down in the afternoon because you are so tired.
After walking to the entrance of the tent, I looked at a man squatting there, also eating soup cakes, but with several pieces of fat meat in the bowl.
Here, brother, I’m going to call you loud enough to make your head spin.”
Dutou is a position below the battalion commander. He is a small military attache who can be in charge of 100 people. He has been promoted one level compared to the original status of a team general.
Just such an improvement and the strength of 100 people under his command are obviously not enough for Hu Biao and others.
Such a small number of people, thrown on the current battlefield, can be said to be too few, and they cannot even make a slightly larger splash.
Therefore, Hu Dutou's identity is definitely not enough...
