The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Fat Dangxiang's writing is quite good, the ins and outs of the story are clearly described, and the elements that Su Jin cares about are also listed one by one. 8 9 Reading Network

The truth is not much different from what Su Jin and others guessed, but the details are more detailed, and the means of doing things are also slightly deviated, but generally they do not deviate too far.

There are seven party members in this group, and their name is Tuoba Gong, who is a military supervisor of the Chaoshun Military Division in the right wing, one of the Twelve Supervising Military Divisions in Xixia, and is under the commanding army and the deputy commanding army. The third person, the level is not low.

And the reason why this person was singled out to lead the team in the Twelve Supervising Army Divisions was because he was proficient in the customs and language of the Song Dynasty, and he was skilled in martial arts; while the other six were party soldiers selected from the garrison guarding the Xingqing Mansion. , the person who committed suicide in Su Jin's house was called 'Xifengye', the one who was kicked to death by Xiao Temo was called 'Xiang Lizhu', and the one who was pushed down by Su Jin just now was called 'Tuobafeng'. The one who made the confession was called 'Ye Cishi', and the other two had their names, both of whom were members of the party.

According to the confession, the Liao people and the Xixia envoys had frequent exchanges. More than 20 days ago, Yuan Hao learned about the Liao envoy's future negotiations in the Song Dynasty, and the transfer of the Liao people's troops in Nanjing Road and Xijing Road was also reported by Tan Ma. Li Yuanhao knows.

Li Yuanhao was originally in the quagmire of fighting with the Song Dynasty. The Northwest Army of the Song Army followed Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi's strategy of sticking to the defense and built castles and fortresses. It's not small, and the generals and tribal leaders under him are also quite critical.

At a time when he was in a dilemma, Li Yuanhao saw a glimmer of light in the dark night after receiving this information.

Yuan Hao has always hoped to drag the Liao Kingdom into trouble, but although he has a relationship with the Liao Kingdom, how can this relationship affect the interests of other countries, and several requests for cooperation in combat have been rejected by the Liao Kingdom. There were also several incidents on the border of Liao; for example, taking in the rebel Heishui tribe in Liao, allowing them to retaliate and harass Liao, etc., which added more grievances between the two countries.

Although the envoys came and went, everything seemed normal, but Yuan Hao knew that it was almost impossible for him to want the Liao Kingdom to stand on the same boat as him.

But now, since the Liao Kingdom gathered troops on the border of the Song Kingdom, and sent envoys to the Song Kingdom to deliver the letter of credence, as soon as these two relatively contradictory things came to his ears, Yuan Hao felt something strange.

Li Yuanhao quickly convened ministers and tribal leaders to discuss, and finally Zhang Yuan, a Han staff member under his account, offered a plan. He suggested immediately sending people to sneak into Bianliang pretending to be Song people, waiting for the arrival of Liao envoys in Bianliang, and looking for opportunities in Bianliang. Liang Cheng assassinated the Liao envoy, and then left evidence pointing directly at the Song Dynasty, thus completely breaking the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom.

According to Zhang Yuan's analysis, with the temper of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, even though they knew that the Liao people were here to blackmail this time, they would definitely agree to the other party's unreasonable demands; He wanted to earn some benefits, but he never expected that the Liao People's Association opened their mouths and raised the four conditions to challenge the Song Dynasty's bottom line.

Zhang Yuan's suggestion was approved by Li Yuanhao, so Li Yuanhao immediately organized his personnel and formed a death squad to sneak into Bianliang City. Martial arts can only be done with.

In order to control these death squads and force them to complete the task no matter what, and not to reveal the news, Li Yuanhao ordered people to detain the families of the seven people, promising that if they can complete this task, they will be released to their families, and at the same time, they will be rewarded. Lu gold and silver treasures, but also warned them that if they failed to complete the task, or were captured and rebelled, their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters would all be beheaded.

Not only that, the suspicious and ferocious Li Yuanhao also ordered the pharmacist in the palace to take slow-acting and highly poisonous pills and force seven people to take them. He promised that within three months, it would be a different matter if he died. The antidote to the poison will definitely not be available, and he will definitely die from the poison in three months.

The seven people didn't have time to grow their hair to cover their baldness, so Tuoba Gong slaughtered several Han people at the border, cut off their long hair and scalp and dried them to make wigs, and the seven people went all the way under the alias of businessmen. Bianliang.

After several days of getting used to it and inquiring about it, these seven people knew about it as soon as Xiao Temo, the Liao envoy, entered the city; on the night when the Liao envoy stayed in the post, Tuoba Gong planned to kill several postmen and went out to buy Or the servants of the Song Dynasty who served, and then dressed in their clothes and clothes to sneak in and assassinate, but Xiao Temo drove out all the servants such as the cook, the groom and other servants of the Song Dynasty in the posthouse as if with the help of a god; No one was left, which made Tuoba Gong so depressed that he died.

Fortunately, Tuoba Gong is also a brave and resourceful person, and the method of sneaking in is not feasible, and the size and bravery of the Liao envoys are not suitable for their seven dead soldiers who are not strong in martial arts. Another way is to poison the Liao envoy.

Tuoba Gong ordered his subordinates to dress up as cooked food vendors and walk back and forth in front of the gate of the post. The smell of stewed meat and barbecue naturally attracted the attention of the Liao soldiers patrolling around the post. They stepped forward and rushed to buy. Ba Gong hid in the dark and thought he had a plan, but unexpectedly, the next scene made him depressed again; the soldiers of the Liao Army took the meat and were not eager to eat it, and a Liao soldier who looked like a small boss actually took out a piece of silver needle Chunk tested whether it was poisonous, and after finding out that it was not poisonous, they gobbled it up one by one.

If he didn't know that this operation was a top-secret matter, Tuoba Gong would have doubted whether someone had tipped off the news, and these Liao people were too careful, this was unprecedented.

Of course Tuoba Gong didn't understand, Xiao Temo himself felt that the conditions raised by the emperor this time were too harsh, although what he wanted in the end was far from the conditions of these lions, but in such a situation, who can guarantee Song people don't use Yin tricks?

So Xiao Temo adopted Liu Liufu's suggestion, eat and drink more carefully, the cooks and grooms of the Song people are not used at all, as for if the Song people are angry and send troops to kill them directly, that's another matter; it's going to rain If you want to get married, you can't even prevent that kind of thing.

Xiao Temo is not afraid of death, Song people will not kill him no matter how stupid they are, what he is most afraid of is that Song people will use some despicable means to make his life worse than death. That's called no place to call injustice.

Tuoba Gong was so depressed that he almost slapped himself, but fortunately he was careful enough, to be on the safe side, this time he was just testing it out, and no poison was put into the meat, so although it was not successful, it was not considered a failure. As long as you are not noticed, you still have a chance.

The next day when the envoys from Song and Liao countries met, Tuoba Gong and his brothers witnessed it at the cross alley across the street. What made him wonder was that around noon, several bloody and bloody people were carried in the posthouse. The people from the two countries came out, did the envoys of the two countries fight inside because of a disagreement?

Tuoba Gong was excited for a while, if the people of Song killed the envoy of Liao directly, wouldn't he and others be able to retreat completely and win without fighting?But the next four envoys actually went out talking and laughing, boarded the car and went to Fanlou for dinner, which made Tuoba Gong completely dizzy.

Fortunately, the news quickly spread in the streets and alleys, saying that the special envoy of the Song Dynasty actually gambled heavily with the envoy of the Liao State in a martial arts competition all morning, but the envoy of the Liao State lost almost without his pants. After all the cash, I still owe more than 1 taels of silver.

Tuoba Gong was a little lost, what the hell was going on, didn't the envoys of the two countries want to negotiate?Why do you gamble money first when you meet? What is the rule?

Confused, Tuoba Gong hurriedly brought his subordinates back to the inn to discuss, but he was still insightful, and he analyzed clearly: "Master Tuoba, think about it, now the people of Liao are penniless and owe a whole lot of debts. How to solve the problem of eating and drinking for the famous people? Since the envoys of the Song Dynasty won all their money, they must have wanted to teach them some lessons. They will not be provided with food at all in the past few days; There is still some life-saving money, and I also teach them that they can't buy food, and they will starve them for a few days. Will the Liao soldiers who are like mad dogs still use silver needles to test one by one?"

Tuoba Gong patted his thigh and said: "Good strategy, but it may not be able to poison the Liao envoy Xiao Temo, and how can it make them starve for a few days? Wouldn't they come out and buy some cheap goods to satisfy their hunger? "

Xi Fengye said: "It is enough to kill the Liao soldiers. As long as a few Liao soldiers die, and we pretend to be the people sent by the envoys of the Song Dynasty to deliver food, we will put the blame on the upper body; the Liao people will think that they are dead." They are soldiers, but the target is the Liao envoy, which is enough to arouse their anger; as for how to make them starve for a few days, the villain has figured it out, the most feared by the merchants and taverns in Song Dynasty is the government, let's pretend to be the government first The yamen servants go to scare them, and it doesn’t matter if there are one or two violations, we go to smash them at night, and the next day, everyone will become grandchildren.”

Tuoba Gong laughed loudly and said: "This plan is very clever, I didn't expect you to be really talented, and you also know people of Song Dynasty very well."

Xi Fengye said: "The villain's wife is Han, and he snatched it, so she told the villain everything."

Tuoba Gong couldn't help but praise, and after some careful preparations with the others, he stole the clothes of the yamen servants and even forged the official documents. Only then did seven or eight servants greet them in the name of the government.

……

After reading the confession, Su Jin couldn't help laughing and crying. What kind of fucking plan is this? Li Yuanhao's plan is quite vicious, but it is just handed over to such a few people for implementation. To need such twists and turns, all you need is for two archery experts to take advantage of Xiao Temo and others to snipe at close range while they are out, and wipe their necks when they are done.

If you want to assassinate, you want to find capable people to do what you must kill; for fear of being exposed, you look for these incompetent people who are proficient in the Song Dynasty but poor in martial arts to look like people.

Speaking of which, they were still frightened by themselves. Bianliang City has never prohibited Xixia people from entering, but the interrogation is more stringent. Bows and arrows are easily available; fortunately, they are stupid, otherwise Xiao Temo was really killed, and the trouble would be big.

But now, it might be Li Yuanhao who is in trouble.
