Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 384 Turning Moment 3
Seeing the hesitation of five or six people, Feng Yuan immediately pulled out the steel knife, and said sharply: "I'm going to do great things, and I must not leak the news, kill me." one person.

The people on the right were astonished, no one thought that Feng Yuan would do it if he said so, they were all officials of the horse army that Feng Yuan belonged to, so they could do it.However, what they said is also true, there must be no risk factor at the moment of life and death. Some alert people have already pulled out their steel knives and pounced on them.It's better to keep up with the adults, so as to make a good future.

Wang Xiu watched the one-sided killing calmly. The screams that continued to come in didn't affect him at all, and didn't even make him frown.

It is true that he does not approve of killing his own people, he has violated his promise not to kill each other, but if he goes deep into the other party's camp and escapes death, if the news leaks out, what awaits him will be doomed, who can guarantee that none of the five or six people will go to inform people?The best thing to do is to keep people silent.What's more, the moment they refused, they had already drawn a clear line with him, and they were no longer a companion who shared life and death, but potential enemies.

When he was thinking about what to do, Feng Yuan suddenly exploded, triggering a massacre. Although he didn't want it, he didn't let him kill brain cells to think about what to do. It wasn't that he violated his promise and ordered to kill, but he just delayed the order a little stop.

"Okay, stop it all." When the last person died tragically under the knife of Pao Ze, he stopped him with a voice, neither salty nor weak.

"Sir, I went against my husband's wishes and killed Pao Ze, and I am willing to accept the crime." Feng Yuan knelt on the ground pleading guilty.

Wang Xiu's face was very ugly, of course it was done for everyone, no matter what he had to punish Feng Yuan, otherwise it would leave a shadow on the officials.

"My lord, the Taiwei is considering our comfort, please forgive me."

"My lord, these thieves are greedy for life and afraid of death, they will definitely run to inform."

"The Taiwei is commendable for his loyalty, please forgive me, my lord."

"My lord, if we are punished, we will be punished together."

Feng Yuan usually cared about the officials very much. Although he was young, he had a high prestige in the army. The killing was also for the sake of the overall situation, and the officials pleaded for their lives one after another.

Time can't be wasted. Seeing that the fire is coming, Wang Xiu didn't want to get too entangled. She said in a deep voice: "Okay, people can't be resurrected after death, and I don't want to talk about it because it's urgent. Fourth brother, you should be beheaded for killing officials. But thinking about you is for the sake of the overall situation. These people retreated before the battle, so no one went to inform them. Well, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are inevitable. No matter what happens this time, you have no merit or reward, can you be convinced?"

Feng Yuan seemed to understand what Wang Xiu was thinking, and immediately said in a deep voice, "I am willing to obey."

"Okay, pack up their remains, and we'll set off immediately." Wang Xiu didn't want to delay any longer, and immediately turned around and got on his horse, but he looked at Feng Yuan with obvious admiration, and the decisiveness towards Feng Yuan in his heart was high. a level of evaluation.

Orihiko thought that the Jin army would cross the river that day, but he didn't expect that Jiahe would set up a stronghold to confront him, which was quite unexpected. Since the Jin army did not fight, he happily escaped for a day and left soldiers and horses to guard At the ferry, the whole army withdrew to the villages to rest.

Unexpectedly, at night, the sound of beating drums would come to mind, and the soldiers of the Song Army were awakened one after another, each in shock.

Zhe Yanzhi had no choice but to send an order to appease the soldiers in each village. Li Hui and Yan Ying sat down to discuss military affairs.When he was at a loss, the guard came in to report that Wang Xiu had arrived outside the stronghold, which surprised him, and said: "Wang Wenshi has collected troops from Gubailing, why did you come back to me?"

Li Hui smiled contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "Let him come in and ask, maybe you will know. He is leading the court at home, so it is not good to neglect."

Yan Ying is a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and his job is not as good as Li Hui, but he is not afraid of this fellow, seeing Li Hui's frivolity, he was very dissatisfied and said: "The king's servant system is also the leader of the west of Jing, it is better to go out to greet him."

Li Hui frowned slightly, and wanted to refute but couldn't find a suitable reason. A month ago, Wang Xiu was moved to the imperial court to hire a man, except for the Xianmo Pavilion servant system, and was awarded the Beijing Northwest Road System as an envoy instead of Jixi. The system makes.

Obviously, Geng Nanzhong's calculation was successful. Zhao Huan played the balance of the mean, that is, using him and restricting him. Commander.

Zhe Yanzhi knew that the two were not in harmony, Li Hui advocated a peace negotiation, Yan Ying advocated resistance, he chuckled and said: "I don't know what the king's servants mean, I will go to greet them first, the two adults will wait for a while."

Li Hui is a member of the Privy Council who signed the letter, Yan Ying is a direct bachelor of Longtuge, one is a soldier of the two governments, and the other is a big dragon in the pavilion, with a very detached status.It is true that Wang Xiu is the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, but Wang Xiu belongs to the guest army in Wang Xiu's territory. It is not good for the commander of the guest army not to go out to greet him as the commander of the guest army.

When he came out with a smile on his face, he saw Wang Xiu crossing his saber and walked towards him, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "I don't know that the servant system is coming, I have lost my way, and I hope to forgive my sin."

"How dare you let Xuanfu downgrade to greet you in person, sin, sin." Wang Xiu clasped her fists and returned the salute with a smile on her face, but she couldn't suppress the blunt far-fetchedness.

The two were courteous and modest, giving each other enough face. Not only did they feel quite comfortable, but it also opened the eyes of the generals who were born in the army. It turns out that there are quite a lot of literati.

Generals Zhang Changning, He Zhengtao, Qin Liang and others from Northwest Beijing Road heard the news. They were all ordered to be restrained by Xuan Fu envoys, but at the same time they also obeyed orders from Northwest Beijing Road envoys. Now that Wang Xiu has come.They will naturally come over, the county magistrate might as well take care of it now.Zhe Yanzhi is just the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu Division, which is a temporary assignment, and Wang Xiu is the top of the serious school, and it is impossible to be sloppy in grasping the commentary on his qualifications!

"My lord, please."

"Don't dare, Master Xuanfu please." Wang Xiu didn't ask too much. After all, Orihiko was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and he needed to treat each other with courtesy before tearing his face.

When Wang Xiu entered the big tent, he unexpectedly found Li Hui and Yan Ying present, and his eyes lit up. They didn't need to bother if they were present, and there were not many chances for changes.Needless to say, Li Hui, Yan Ying was a person he was interested in. In the history he was familiar with, this person knew Mengzhou as a direct scholar, and his appearance made this master a conciliator.

It is said that with the change of the official system, the transfer envoy is no longer the highest officer along the way, but in fact the appeasement envoy has risen in status.During the war, the appeasement envoy also served as an envoy, and was in charge of the army and civilians along the way, but because of Zhao Huan's cleverness, the appeasement envoy on Northwest Beijing Road was artificially divided.

They exchanged polite words and sat down respectively. Wang Xiu wore a straight knife around his waist and did not attract attention. After all, it was a war and it was normal to carry weapons.

"It's not easy to be in the military, and you don't have good tea. Don't blame the universities!"

Li Hui and Yan Ying were quite reserved, they smiled and said nothing.

Wang Xiu had the lowest official position, and said with a smile, "Xuan Fu is polite." As he spoke, he took a sip of his cup, raised his brows, nodded in praise, and said, "Good tea, Xuan Fuguo is an elegant scholar, and in a hurry, there is me A thing that is discussed by generations."

Seeing Wang Xiu's praise, Zhe Yan said that he regarded him as a scholar, so he was overjoyed.He is the only son of the Zhe family who has been awarded a Jinshi background for more than a hundred years.When Li Gang was appointed as the Xuanfu Division, because he was born as a general and knew a lot about military affairs, he was appointed as the Xuanfu Division to do official business, which became a major turning point for him.

However, he has always been proud of his background in Kejia, so he naturally thinks that he can join the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats by virtue of his ability, and has many contacts with civil officials who were born as Jinshi.

In the same way, I deeply feel that my family is affiliated with the Dang Xiangshu and Qiang. For the scholars from the rich family, they are still a different kind.

Wang Xiu is a Jinshi, and his intention to learn orthodox theory has long been recognized by scholars, listed as Confucianism, and he is also famous for his poetry and prose. He said with a smile: "The servants have spoken, come, prepare a banquet, and entertain the three adults."

Wang Xiu glanced at Li Hui, and said with a smile: "This is Lu Shuai, I should have a banquet for Xuan Fu, I don't want the host and guest to be reversed, ashamed, ashamed!"

Orihiko said with a chuckle: "The waiter is the commander of the Jingxi Road, and the lower body is stationed as a guest army. It is supposed to hold a banquet. Today, I am honored to have a gathering with three college students on the river. There are captives playing drums to help the fun. Wouldn't it be great if you don't have it?" Disgusting."

A look of surprise flashed across Wang Xiu's eyes. Hearing Zhe Yanzhi's words, he was quite courageous. If the other party decided to fight to the death, wouldn't his plan be impossible to carry out? Cancan smiled and said: "Xuan Fu is a man of temperament, but Xiaguan is a man of life." accepted."

Yan Ying laughed and said: "Xuanfu is right, there are captives beating the drums to cheer up the fun, so I'm so sorry for the captives if they don't have a good drink."

When Li Hui heard this, he rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Scholar, I'm so excited!" He was already arguing for a peace negotiation, but he was sent to lead the army to patrol the river. Although it was not a wind and sun, it was much more difficult than in the capital. , I was already very unhappy in my heart, Yan Ying's words made him unhappy for a while, what kind of bird was beating the drums to cheer up, what if he killed him.

How could Yan Ying not know what Li Hui meant, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Is Mr. Xiang interested?"

Li Hui glared at Yan Ying, but didn't speak, the Jin army had already reached the river, what else could he say?In the past few days, I have been terrified, constantly cursing Wu Min, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao and others for harming the country and the people.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Orihiko hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Wang ever led troops here?"

"I only brought more than a thousand cavalry, and other soldiers and horses are approaching here." Wang Xiu said truthfully, the art of war is not true, since the Jin army has reached the river bank, of course my army must come to defend the enemy, otherwise it would be negligence.

While talking on his lips, he was calculating in his heart. The plan is not as fast as the change. It is true that Li Hui and Yan Ying are present, but the difficulty of doing things is greatly increased. At least it is not possible to force Orihiko to retreat.
