Chapter 44: One Assassination Is Not Enough

Since Gao Tansheng is very sure, and Yun Zheng does not intend to stop it, these scourges can die on the battlefield of the struggle against the Xixia people, and it can be regarded as making the best use of things, so Yun Zheng's plan has changed, and the goal of the assassination trio of Hanlin, Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi has changed from not hiding Pang to Gao Tansheng, with Gao Tansheng leading people to attack and not hiding Pang once, the scheming and scheming Pang will definitely retreat back to Dingzhou, and it is impossible to enter Xingqing Mansion to become a lamb to the slaughter, there are too many previous examples, Li Yuanhao is not an open-minded emperor like the sea.

Yun Zheng lives in the barracks has one of the biggest advantages is that he can easily figure out the deployment of troops in Western Xia, Li Yuanhao seems to be trying his best to keep the secret, it is not a secret in the barracks, as long as someone has a little idea of the conversation of the soldiers, he can feel his troop deployment clearly, in the end, his military system still wears a strong aristocratic army model.

The focus of Western Xia's troops was set on a triangle line centered on Xingqing Mansion, with 70,000 people guarding Xingqing, 50,000 guarding Xiping Mansion in the southeast, and 50,000 troops stationed in Helan Mountain in the northwest. Troops were also deployed on the left and right compartments and on the four lines of north and south of the river. Among them, 50,000 people on Youzhou Road in the left compartment and 50,000 people on Yanzhou Road in Henan Province were protected against the Song Dynasty, 70,000 people on Anbei Road in Hebei Province were protected against Liao, and 30,000 people on Ganzhou Road in the right carriage were protected against Tubo and Uighurs. Whenever they wanted to use troops to the west, they would gather from the east point to the west, and if they wanted to go east, they would gather from the west point to the east, and in the middle of the road, they would gather from the east to the west.

The Western Xia sent troops to fight, and still maintained a number of primitive customs and systems. Before sending troops, the leaders of each tribe must swear an oath of blood. Yuan Hao led the leaders of the various tribes to go out to hunt and hunt wild beasts before sending out their troops. Sit and eat together, discuss military affairs together, and choose what is good and follow. This was actually a system of aristocratic deliberations.

Under such a system, it is impossible to keep secrets strictly, not to mention that he also put a powerful rat like Yun Zheng into his own military camp.

The Jiazi camp did nothing else, the only thing they could do was to chat with every Tangut they met, and in the face of wine and food, the simple Tangut warriors were eager to tell the most secret things they knew in order to win a reverent look and heartfelt admiration.

did not hide Pang was in charge of more than forty percent of the army in Xingqing Mansion, and at this point, Yun Zheng had to admire Li Yuanhao's courage, and the Empress Yeli family did not have such a right back then.

Since Yeli Ren Rong and Li Yuanhao created the Western Xia script together. and made twelve volumes of Tangut script. The chronicle of the Xia State documents stipulates that all the new Xia State script should be used. Chinese characters were only used in correspondence with the Song Dynasty, and were juxtaposed with the Western Xia characters. For the Tubo tribes, Uighurs, Zhangye, Jiaohe and other ethnic groups, all use the Tangut national character. At the same time, the languages of various ethnic groups are attached.

In Yun Zheng's opinion. This is already the greatest achievement that an emperor can do. However, this person is still a veritable gambler, and the party members are naturally impatient, and their temperament is irritable. When his own culture has not yet been formed, he is in a hurry to expand outward, so that he is hit by everyone, whether it is the Song people, or the Khitans, or the Tubo people, the history is much older than him, and the things he created will only be scorned by everyone.

Because of indifference, they don't care about other people's savings, so they will do whatever they want. Wugou and Yun Zheng discussed for a long time before they came to this conclusion.

Wugou was invited by the Xixia Han Academy to come and give a lecture, of course, this invitation was accepted by Wuhui Guò Xixia Buddhism after arriving in Xixia, if it wasn't for meeting Yun Zheng on the street, Wugou planned to silently watch Yun Zheng crisscross the territory of Xixia like this.

"It's definitely not a small ambition to hide it!" Wugou finally made a decision.

Yun Zheng said with a smile, since he didn't hide Pang and Li Yuanhao don't want to tear their faces now, they might as well let Gao Tansheng help them tear it, since he said that he also has a master on the grassland, I always think that it should be the Khitan people who secretly joined the Maitreya Sect, otherwise, under the status of the Song people in Western Xia, it is absolutely impossible to help him do so many things, especially the situation of the palace guards, this is not something that the Song people can inquire about at all, and these days, when I see Gao Tansheng, he himself is wearing Khitan clothes, There are too many Khitan people who can speak Chinese in the sixteen states of Yanyun, they believe in Buddhism, they are extremely susceptible to demagoguery, and they have a tendon in their brains, and when it comes to barbarism, Cheng dù is no less than the Tangut people, let them touch it, and they will serve as the yellow finch in the end.

I actually don't like to use this analogy, because people who want to be yellow finches will always find out that they are actually the damn praying mantis, so ah, we shouldn't give them any death orders, we should save ourselves as the best policy. Give them the freedom to play and maybe get better results. ”

Wugou closed his eyes and pronounced a Buddha horn and began to chant the scriptures with words in his mouth, a monk is now discussing with others how to assassinate and assassinate others, which makes his conscience feel very disturbed.

Although it is already March, the rape on the field in Chengdu has already grown very tall at this time, but in the land of Saibei, the spring breeze has not arrived, but the river has begun to thaw, the earth has slowly become soft, the dry air has become a little moist, and the clouds coming out of Helan Mountain are white like cotton.

More than 300 cavalrymen strolled along the avenue, without flags, and the cavalry was tightly clustered around a black-lacquered carriage, all of whom were wearing hooded chain mail, holding spears, carrying strong bows, and the quiver at the waist was full of black carved arrows.

From Dingzhou to Xingqingfu, you must pass through Heifeng Gorge, which is the best ambush location, the mountains are high and dense, the road is narrow, and the cautious cavalry divided ten people out of the brigade and galloped wildly, which is to go to find out whether Heifeng Gorge is safe.

Sitting in the carriage, he was very messy, the assassination two months ago, he couldn't think of who did it, if he had to say a suspicious person, he thought that this person should be the crown prince Ning Lingge.

The people of the Kui Ming family are all crazy, Li Yuanhao is a shrewd and calm madman, since he started to kill his generals for women, he already thinks that this guy is crazy without hiding it, Ning Lingge has the blood of the Yeli family and the Kui Ming family, and it is not surprising to do some crazy deeds, not to mention that Kui Wolf also whipped him thirty lashes fiercely, which is enough to become a reason for him to kill.

Now is still not the time to turn against Li Yuanhao, so Xingqing Mansion must go, and he must make it clear that he did not expect to get rid of the Kui Ming family by means of assassination.

In March, there is always a light sand flying from the desert, which is as pervasive as flowing water, and after a long movement, a fine layer of dust has fallen on his sleeves.

When he didn't hide the false Pang, there were few people who had a habit of cleanliness in the Western Xia, and when he saw the dust, he gently shook it off on a peach-colored letterhead, this letter was written by his sister Wuzang, that is, because of this letter, he would take the risk to go to Xingqing Mansion, Wuzang hoped that his son could replace Ning Lingge as the new ruler of Western Xia, and Wuzang Pang also thought so, for the future development of Wuzang, this risk must be taken, and he thought that it was not difficult to deal with a reckless and unreasonable Ning Lingge, The difficulty is how not to attract Li Yuanhao's attention is the most important thing.

The carriage passed through the Black Wind Gorge without any danger, and just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, crossbow arrows rained down on the low slope on the side of the road, and the battle-hardened guards approached the carriage for the first time, covering their cheeks with both hands, and there was chain mail on their bodies, and ordinary crossbow arrows could not penetrate the armor at such a distance.

They miscalculated, those crossbow arrows were not facing them at all, but attacking their mounts, the war horses also had chain mail on their bodies, after all, there was no way to protect all the bare skin, it was strange, the war horses were not seriously injured, but it didn't take long for those war horses to foam at the mouth and fall to the ground.

"Poisonous!" The chief guard roared angrily, jumped off the horse that was about to fall, drew his long knife and roared like a low slope to attack. At the same time, the masked sneak attackers rushed down from behind the hillside with heavy flails and giant hammers, and although some fell under the strong bows of the Western Xia warriors, the rest were still brave, and a big man at the head was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but he seemed to be unconscious, and screamed and picked up the giant hammer and blasted it at the leader of the guards.

The leader of the guards lowered his head and dodged and stabbed the big man in the waist with a backhand, but was blocked by the wide iron belt, letting out a piercing scream, the big man hit the air with a hammer, and did not turn back in a hurry, ignoring the leader of the guards, and continued to pounce fiercely on the black carriage in the crowd.

He glanced at the big man through the gap, and his brows furrowed, how could he be a Khitan? He is also a well-known wrestler among the Khitans. He spent his life in battle, fought with the Song people, fought with the Khitans, fought with the Tubo people, and the Hui people, and was very familiar with the type of warriors, and he couldn't hide it from him by covering his face with a thin layer of black cloth.

The giant man's hammer struck the guard's chain mail, sprouting a strange sound, as if there was a hammer hitting the leather bag, only a pop sound, those guards did fly up like a tattered leather bag was smashed, blood sprayed out of the mouth and nose, some people were knocked away, and the rest of the people immediately filled the gap and used their spears against this god-like giant man.

The battle was intense from the start, with the unconcealed guards falling to the ground, but in the back, when the captain of the guard reluctantly formed a formation, the Assassins began to suffer casualties.

Hearing the battle outside, he chuckled, he didn't even need to look at it to know that his guards would win the final victory, until a crossbow arrow pierced the carriage, and the still sharp arrow stopped in the place in front of him where there was not enough to eat. (To be continued......)
