Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 191 The moon in Yanshan is like a hook

"Brother Yao, we had three teams of sentries who didn't come back on time last night."

Three teams of sentry riders, thirty men and eighteen horses, none of them came back.

Qian Shigui looked at the captain in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Something is not right. Our Zhenyuan Army Sentinels all wear armor and carry bows. With the equipment of the prairie people, we can only kill one or two by sneak attack." , how is it possible to swallow three teams of Sentinels at once?"

Yao Hu said: "Unless the enemy has anticipated it and is fully prepared, it will come very quickly."

"But everything is normal with the brothers in the northwest. There is no urgent report of the prairie cavalry raid."

Both of them were Zhenyuan military lieutenants. They were in charge of the northeast direction and were wary of the Jin people.

Because none of their sentinels reported back, the two lieutenants waited until this morning according to the rules. Until now, when the two met, they immediately realized that the problem might be serious. After a brief discussion, most of the sentinels under the two men They all dispersed, and Qian Shigui led several sentries back to report the news in person.

"Wait!" Yao Hu stood up straight and shouted after him.

Qian Shigui and the sentry riders beside him stopped and looked back at Yao Hu. The latter got off his horse, and the brothers behind him also dismounted. A soldier led several horses and walked up to them.

The smile on Yao Hu's face gradually disappeared, and he looked north. Three years ago, he looked with fear. Today, three years later, he looked north again, and his eyes were replaced by deep hatred.

"Brother Yao, you."

The Zhenyuan Army sentry cavalry consisted of a team of ten men, ten men and six horses. There were many sentinels around Qian Shigui, but there must be some who did not have horses. Yao Hu said calmly: "According to the rules, I have to wait here for three hours. It’s okay if you don’t have horses, you’re going to go out to report and scout, so take all the horses away.”

Qian Shigui nodded, turned around, and clamped the horse hard.

The hatred of the country and the family can be summed up in four simple words.

The sentry rider urged his horse to run wildly and shouted:

"The golden man is really here?!"

Yao Hu said to himself: "If the Jin people left the pass and went south, why did no news come back from Juyong Pass?"

He was wondering in his heart, and at the same time he raised his hand and waved to the sentry riders around him.

Several sentry riders turned around one step at a time, and their figures quickly disappeared into the wind and sand.

"Brother Yao, the golden dog is here!"

Yao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and watched the smoke raised by the horses' hooves go away. He returned to the distance and sat cross-legged. Within a moment, he and several sentry riders around him raised their heads and caught a glimpse of a sentry rider from the east riding hard back.

"You all have parents, wives and children at home. Go back quickly. Those of you who are lucky may be able to escape."

The sentinel knight nodded. He went out and did not find his brothers. Instead, he saw a large group of banner soldiers, almost all over the mountains and plains, with no end in sight.

The sentry rider came to them quickly, and then hesitated. After a while, he turned over and dismounted, gave the horse to Yao Hu, and said eagerly: "Brother Yao, you go back first, we will follow behind."

"drive!"

Yao Hu shook his head slightly, thinking of the scene when the Jin people went south three years ago.

Yao Hu said lightly: "Three years ago, I still had a mother-in-law, but when the Jin came, I could only run away with my brother. Now I guess my brother also died in the hands of the Jin. I am the only one, so what's the point of living?" Use? I want to be here to see the golden man."

"You ride your horse and go first, we will arrive soon."

The sentry rider was forced onto the horse by him again. They were all men in the army. When the sentry rider saw Yao Hu's eyes, he knew it. His throat became choked with sobs, and he slapped the horse hard, and then headed south again. Run wildly.

"Mother-in-law, get the hell out of here." Yao Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also have selfish motives. My brother is in the three teams of sentinels and has to wait here for his return. Go back quickly. , tell the news to King Han!"

Most people deeply understood the latter, but this rough Qiu Ba suddenly understood something clearly at this time.

Wherever he could see, rows of flags suddenly appeared on the horizon, followed by troops that kept appearing like a rising tide. In the latter's sight, he only saw a soldier who was sitting on the ground standing slowly in the distance. He stood up and adjusted his armor.

A Meng'an looked at the opponent with some doubts, and then sent people out. The Jin cavalry shouted in Khitan dialect: "Remove your armor and please surrender, you can avoid death!"

Yao Hu slowly put on his pocket, drew the knife with his right hand, and pointed the tip of the knife at the tens of thousands of Jin troops on the opposite side.

"If you withdraw your troops now, you will be saved from death!"

The golden man moved.

Liu Ling looked at the sand table. To the northeast of Yunzhong, all the small flags that originally represented the areas occupied by the Han army were removed. Then, the officials planted small white flags representing the Jin people there.

It was already dark outside, and in the handsome tent, civilian officials and generals kept lifting the curtains and walking in. After bowing to Liu Ling and saluting, they then stood around the sand table.

Except for some of the sentry riders that were lost, most of the sentry detectives still reported back the news quickly. As for why the Jin people launched a surprise attack but the Jin people in the Juyongguan area did not send back any news, it was because Wanyan Zongwang had probably been captured. , or in other words, part of his Jin army should have directly rebelled against him.

Liu Ling's eyes were gloomy. He was not only concerned about the Jin people betraying their alliance, but also because Han Shizhong's 30,000-man army was in danger of being cut off. The Jin army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, like a sharp knife hanging over everyone's heads. To the west, they could surround Han Shizhong with the grassland people, and to the south, they could attack Yunzhong. At the same time, how many subsequent troops they would have is still unknown.

Everyone looked at the sand table first, then at the King of Han, and their eyes stayed on the black royal uniform.

When he shouted that Yan Yun was about to come out, the strongest enemies among the surrounding countries almost immediately overwhelmed most of the family, trying to kill him and hundreds of thousands of Yan Yun soldiers and civilians again just like they did three years ago. Crushed on the soles of the feet.

It's like many people in later generations have begun to cry out to forgive many of the actions of a certain island country, but as long as they are given a chance to come back, who will tell you that the moon and the moon are the same?

The people in his country will not show any pity or shame. Instead, they send their children to the battlefield while shouting for a prosperous military fortune.

Liu Ling did not feel any anger in his heart, but suddenly laughed. The civilian officials and generals around him looked at each other, and then bowed to Liu Ling.

Han Fang came out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "The Jin people defeated the alliance and cut off the return route of our front army. I ask the king to send troops quickly to welcome the withdrawal of Yanhou. We don't know the details of the Jin people in this battle, so we should plan for the long term."

After he spoke, several generals and civil servants echoed their words. It was not that they did not want to fight, but that they believed that the Jin people had defeated the alliance. The Han army suddenly had a powerful enemy. At the same time, the Xia people in the west also had unknown movements. Know what's on your mind.

just in case

Liu Ling leaned over the sand table and clicked on the small white flag symbolizing the Jin army.

"Pass this king's order."

"Your Majesty!"

Han Fang was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and shouted: "Yan Yun has been fighting for years, and it is okay to control the grassland, but if he really goes to war with the Jin people, it will be a national war. With the strength of Yan Yun, he cannot afford it. Then start a war with the Kingdom of Jin,

Therefore,

Please, Your Majesty, take it easy! "

Liu Ling's eyes suddenly turned cold. Just when he was about to speak, someone outside reported: "Jin Envoy wants to see you!"

"See."

Liu Ling returned to his chair and looked into the distance. All the ministers and generals left the sand table and stood up. Han Fang stood up and took a deep look at Liu Ling.

"The foreign minister Wang Ahai has met the King of Han."

An old acquaintance walked in. Wang Ahai had a smile on his face and held two wooden boxes in his hands. A general walked over and Wang Ahai handed out one of the wooden boxes. After opening it, he could see that it contained a king's seal. .

"I, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, would like to give the King of Han the surname Wanyan!

If the King of Han returns to the Jin Dynasty, he will be the uncle of the emperor of our country and the younger brother of the emperor of our country. "

Liu Ling was silent for a while and asked, "What's in the other one?"

"This is a personal gift from Marshal Wanyan of our country."

Wang Ahai smiled and said: "Even the foreign ministers don't know what's inside, so please ask the king to open it for inspection in person."

Then, when the wooden box was opened, some smell came from inside. Wang Ahai also took a look and was dumbfounded.

The general who opened the wooden box knelt on the ground and took out a head from inside.

The head must have been tortured before death. The eyes were wide open with a ferocious expression, and the cloudy eyes were covered with lime.

His hair accessory is that of the Yan people. Considering what happened in the past two days, the identity of this head has also been speculated.

Perhaps it was the head of a Yanyun official or guard.

Or, he was just an ordinary sentry who wanted to fight with the golden man for revenge before he died.

Wang Ahai looked around in a panic and shouted: "I didn't know this was in it!"

Damn Wanyan Loushi!

Damn it, if you have the ability, you can deliver it yourself!

The atmosphere in the commander's tent was suddenly silent. Almost all of the dozens of generals, generals and civil servants were from Yanyun, or they were also officials from the Liao Dynasty. When they were old, they could deceive themselves into forgetting the hatred between their country and their family, but it has only been three years now.

Almost everyone present witnessed the demise of their motherland with their own eyes.

Their eyes were on the head.

In addition to the angry expression, the latter also had two words tattooed on his face. Even Han Fang's breath was stagnant at this moment, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

On the head and face are tattooed two words: left and right:

Han dog.

There seemed to be a giant beast in the handsome tent with its huge eyes open and looking at Wang Ahai expressionlessly, as if it would open its huge mouth the next moment. His whole body started to tremble, and King Han stood up slowly, his eyes fixed on those two words.

He was angry.
