Lang Tan, who thought that things were seamless, often went wrong, and Lang Tan, who thought that he could escape according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, never thought that he would have to accept the challenge of the Tanguts.

The Tangut man who died was the nephew of the Empress Dowager of the Tangut Dynasty, and the things that had been decided in the Great Song Dynasty turned out to be turbulent again. Ning Taigu, the envoy of Western Xia, knelt in front of the palace gate, with a knife in front of him, and ordered someone to present this knife to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, with a sentence: "If this knife can't cut off the murderer's head, please cut off my head!" ”

The tone is resolute and unquestionable.

After knowing the identity of the deceased, everyone could only smile bitterly, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are now discussing the matter of forming an alliance, although it seems embarrassing, this matter should not be ignored, the Western Xia needs time to heal, the Great Song Dynasty has been injured all over the body by continuous disasters over the years, and it is extremely necessary to appease the world, so this matter is in full swing.

This time the Western Xia was very sincere, not only did the capture army never appear again, but even the security army, the Xixia Jianing Military Division opposite the Dingbian Army, the Shizhou Xiangyou Military Division, and the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division also all retreated two hundred miles, and a lot of military forts were abandoned in the middle, and the military pressure faced by the Great Song Dynasty was a lot easier in an instant.

The nephew of the Wuzang clan actually came to the Great Song Dynasty as a hostage this time, and now he died unexpectedly before he had time to be a hostage, and I am afraid that it will not be reasonable to explain without an explanation.

When Shao Dongyuan, a scholar of the Criminal Department, put the verdict of the Great Song Dynasty in front of Ning Taigu, Ning Taigu laughed loudly, and ate the verdict written on thickened hard paper piece by piece, and said with red eyes: "Serve before the army?" Where is the distribution going? Under Yun Zheng? Shao Shilang: Do you think such a verdict is valid for them?

Yun Zheng is a shameless villain, the old man hates to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, he is the mortal enemy of my Western Xia monarchs, such a sentence will only increase their arrogance.

Since the Western Xia army can retreat 200 miles, it can naturally advance 200 miles, although our country is now tired. But as long as the old man truthfully reports the causes and consequences of this matter, the old man believes that those generals who have been deceived by Yun Zheng will definitely have the same hatred for the enemy, and even if there are great difficulties, they will overcome the oath to avenge this revenge! ”

Shao Dongyuan put his hands on his sleeves and said, "What does the envoy think is appropriate to deal with?" These people are all heroes of my Great Song Dynasty. can't be killed, you Xixia don't have the habit of killing heroes at every turn, right? Besides, the one who did it first was the one you said in your mouth, and he was stabbed by porcelain during the fight, which no one expected! ”

Ning Taigu took out the hand that was shrunk in his sleeve, and handed a book to Shao Dongyuan in his hand and said, "Since everyone is reasonable, then use blood to prove who is right." ”

Shao Dongyuan took it and looked at it, frowned and said, "You plan to send thirty warriors to fight them?" Not a one-on-one fight? ”

Ning Taigu knelt down and sat back and said expressionlessly: "The warriors of Western Xia can die in battle, but they can't die unclear, thirty people against thirty people, if we are defeated." The old man must not say a word, according to the previous agreement with the Song State, each guard the territory, if you are defeated, this hatred and hatred will naturally dissolve. The contract naturally proceeds as previously agreed. ”

Shao Dongyuan nodded and said, "This official knows your wishes, I don't know how the envoy plans to select people from his subordinates?" If you're all elite. How are the thirty soldiers of the Wu Shengjun who came to deliver letters to be your opponents? ”

Ning Taigu said with a smile: "The old man brought not many entourages this time, only more than one hundred and eighty people, but they are all warriors of the Black Mountain Military Division, you can choose twenty-nine people at will, and then the old man can assign an officer." ”

Shao Dongyuan left with a smile, and from the words of the Western Xia envoys, it could be heard that their desire to quell the war was stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty. Since the overall situation is not compromised, the contract will be signed no matter what. The rest of the trade-offs are not difficult to make, there are only thirty soldiers, and their own court decides their fate for them.

There were endless arguments in the court, and Pang Ji, as the supreme commander of the army, naturally did not solve the problem so roughly, and now it was the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who took advantage, and the solution to the matter came from the Great Song Dynasty. This kind of solution is very suitable, there is no need to make extraneous branches, whether he likes the Wusheng army or not, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty naturally have to follow the laws of the Great Song Dynasty when they make mistakes, and they don't have to worry about the opinions of those Western Xia people.

However, Zongzheng Temple Zongzheng Zhao Yunrang disagreed. It is not good to think that the name is not right, and the signing of a contract must be in line with the right time and place in order to be effectively complied with, otherwise, such a contract is not a contract that can make both parties happy and convinced, since Wu Shengjun killed first, it is not unacceptable to accept the challenge.

Zhao Zhen looked at his clan brother and said expressionlessly: "Since the opinions cannot be unified, this matter will be handed over to Wu Shengjun to deal with himself, whether it is a battle, or leave to see their willingness, and retreat from the dynasty!" ”

He was a ninja and left in anger, I don't know when, he saw that this clan brother was angry, and he couldn't be turbulent now, and all the grievances could not be dealt with after Di Qing and Yun Zheng fought a result in Jiaozhi and Dali, this way of forbearance Zhao Zhen can still do it, as long as the thirty people of Wu Shengjun leave the capital quickly, this matter will not be resolved, and there is no need to discuss it again.

Procrastination has always been Zhao Zhen's best skill, otherwise he would not have delayed the imperial court's talent ceremony for twelve years.

Lang Tan slept in prison until noon, and the fatigue caused by many days of running disappeared without a trace, and if he could take a refreshing hot bath and eat a full meal, then there was nothing else to ask for.

Take your feet and kick up the sleeping subordinates one by one, it is enough to sleep until noon, no matter how much you sleep, you will be more tired, the human body is like a cow tendon, there is a certain limit to the contraction, neither too tight, nor too loose, otherwise it will be harmful to the body, this is not what Yun Zheng taught him, but from the family motto.

Squatting in the prison naturally did not have a hot bath, in fact, there was not even a washing water, it was already noon, and the jailer did not send food, Lang Tan frowned and wanted to ask, so he heard the door of the prison open, Bao Zheng walked into the prison and put a document in Lang Tan's hand and said to him: "Your verdict has been prepared by the old man, it is estimated that you can think of it yourself, that is, you missed and injured people's lives, although you are not the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but God has the virtue of a good life, you are still guilty, and you are still guilty of serving before the army. Have you ever been convinced? ”

Lang Tan said with a smile: "Ming Gong has always been fair, and he doesn't know how to be lowly and degraded, so he will go to Wuchao City to make meritorious contributions, this time it is me who is reckless and adds chaos to Ming Gong." ”

Bao Zheng stroked his beard and said: "There is one more thing that you don't have to tell you, the old man thinks that this matter is still up to you to decide, the envoy of the Western Xia Ning Taigu, oh, his official position is also the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion, but the people have the right to know the Xingqing Mansion of the Western Xia." The Xixia man you killed was the nephew of the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia, and now they refuse to give up, that Ning Taigu proposed to fight a decisive battle with you, thirty people against thirty people, and said that the time and place are determined by you, but this matter was rejected by the privy envoy, Zongzheng Temple thinks that you should accept the challenge, and His Majesty Xià puts the decision in your own hands.

If you don't want to, the documents and the seal letter sent back to your general have already been placed in the pavilion, and after leaving Kaifeng Mansion, although you leave with the paperwork and seal, you don't have to pay attention to the entanglement of the Tangut people. ”

Lang Tan smiled and bowed, and then took his subordinates to the pavilion, checked the letters he needed to bring back, as well as various documents, and then looked at the subordinates who did not leave him and said, "What? Do you really want to fight the Tanguts? ”

Sun San came to Lang Tan and said: "Others are afraid of the Tangut people, but the Jiazi battalion is not afraid, Lao Tzu has not seen the Tangut people fight, if there is no gunpowder bullet, we are not the opponent of these people, but now it is different, we have a continuous crossbow arrow, plus gunpowder bullets, I don't believe that the Xixia people can't do it, the general said that the Jiazi battalion equipped with gunpowder bullets should be the first class strong army in the world."

Fighting with the Jiaozhi people, fighting with Nong Zhigao, it can't show the prestige of the Jiazi battalion, Junhou, let's rush into battle in front of the people of Tokyo, since we broke in Tokyo, we might as well break out again, and it's not bad to get a big name. ”

Niu Da followed: "The cavalry of the Western Xia people has only a few moves, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they will bring strong crossbows when they arrive in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, our equipment is neat, my subordinates just saw it, and His Majesty returned our gunpowder bullets at the same time, in this situation, it is a good time to make a name for yourself." ”

Seeing the rambling interjections of his subordinates, Lang Tan smiled and said, "Then tell the Xixia people that we will leave the city at sunset, and if you have the guts, you will come to the West Gate to intercept it!" The most important purpose of our army training is to deal with the Western Xia people and the Khitans, and it is good to test it! ”

Seeing that everyone stood up and applauded, Lang said frankly: "We can despise the enemy, but we can't be careless, you are all experienced in a hundred battles, you must not have the slightest paralysis and carelessness, although we have the advantage of weapons, but the riding and archery skills of the Tangut people still cannot be underestimated, I build yì two armor all put on in case of accidents, this is the capital, we don't have to care about the consumption of horsepower, as long as the charge is successful, we will go away, the Tangut people will not dare to chase!" ”

Under the spread of well-intentioned people, the thirty soldiers of the Wusheng Army were preparing to cut through the military formation composed of thirty Western Xia cavalry, and the news had spread all over Tokyo in a short time.

The wine shop near the Daliang Gate is hard to find by dusk, and those luxurious restaurants have even lowered the curtains, and I don't know who is sitting inside.

Ning Taigu sat in the cave of the city gate of the Great Liang Gate, in front of him were thirty cavalrymen in full armor, the long knife of the snow was out of the sheath, obliquely inserted behind the back, and the long blade on his side had been hung on the victory hook to reach out, but now he was holding a strong bow in his hand. Those who know a little about bows and arrows can see that there are no less than three strong bows in the hands of these people.

Especially the black-armored leader who was the leader, the strong bow in his hand actually reached a terrifying four quintals, and what was even more shocking was that the long arrows in his quiver were all in a group of three.

Han Lin saw this detail with a gloomy face, and bowed down to Zhao Zhen behind the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, one of the enemy soldiers is an eagle archer, and Lang Tan and their level is not easy. ”
