Dusong Ridge is located at the junction of Huzhou and Lin'an Mansion, under the ridge is the jurisdiction of Anji County, three passes on the ridge tower, arching the last barrier of the Beijing Division. Since the outbreak of the war, the post road that originally passed through the pass was no longer open to ordinary merchants and ordinary people, and only the messengers and military newspapers with the letters issued by the imperial court could pass through guò, so the post road was very deserted.

Liangzhejiang West Road pacification envoy Senator, Dusong guard general Zhang Wei stood on the stone wall of the main pass, looking at the direction of the post road stretching under his feet and was silent, he is almost seventy years old this year, Su Fa was originally a little black, since he was appointed as the main general of the gate, now it is as white as snow, if it is not surprising, this old bone is estimated to be handed over to this pass.

This is not far from the war zone in front of it, it is not close to it, if the Tartars really hit here, it means that they are not far from the country, the Lin'an City behind them is only hundreds of miles, for the cavalry of the Tartars, it is less than two days away, fortunately God bless the Great Song Dynasty, a few days ago there was finally a military envoy who reported victory from here, although the details are unknown, but it is obvious that there is a victory in front of the battle.

It's really helpless to send an old man like him to guard the pass, how to say that he can be regarded as the queen of the gate, compared to the big turbans that only know the mouth cannon, it can be somewhat reassuring, thinking of Jingshi's family, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly, this time he came out and didn't go back for several months, and he didn't know if there was that opportunity.

There was a sound of footsteps at the other end of the wall, Zhang Wei heard that the voice was a little hurried, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over, the person who came was a personal soldier of his deputy general Feng Ji, the expression on his face was a little solemn, which made Zhang Wei's heart tighten, Feng Ji led people to patrol outside the gate early in the morning, is this something wrong?

"Qi Qi Senate, subordinates were ordered to report, I found a team of strangely dressed people and horses in the mountain road two miles away from the pass, about 100 people, Vice General Feng did not dare to be proficient, specially ordered his subordinates to come to report, how to do it and ask the senator to instruct." The pro-soldier was very articulate, and he made things clear in just a few words.

"Weird outfit? Yiren? Did you play the flag, what kind of weapon did you take? As soon as he heard that there were only more than 100 people, Zhang Wei first relieved his heart, there are more than 30,000 forbidden troops stationed here, if you want to play sneak attacks or something, it is difficult to succeed under the noses of a veteran like him, prudence is his advantage, and it is also one of the reasons why the imperial court let him come here.

When this pro-soldier described the situation they saw in detail, the more Zhang Wei thought about it, the more wrong it became, these people were undoubtedly aliens, but they were not like the Yimin in the mountains, they actually rode a rare high-headed horse in the Great Song Dynasty, which is only available in the north, and now there is a war, and money can't buy it, the north! Zhang Wei's heart moved, could it be this possibility?

"Go, call a commander, take all the guys, and go with so-and-so to have a look." Zhang Wei immediately decided to go in person, he knew that Feng Ji also brought a lot of people, so there was no need to mobilize the people, after all, this is his own territory, and he can come back immediately if something happens.

Lian Xixian, who was only twenty-nine years old at the Ministry of Rites, was surrounded by a group of guards, and behind him was Yan Zhongfan, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Works, and Cheng Chai Zizhi, the secretary, who had already dismounted, there was only a narrow mountain road here, and the surrounding mountains were high and densely forested, not far away, the figure of the Song people was in the forest, and I don't know how many people there were.

"This is the messenger of the Great Yuan Kingdom, holding the letter of state issued by my lord Emperor Dayuan, going to the capital of the country, who is in charge of the front, don't use the sword in vain!" A thick-voiced guard yelled towards the mountain, but he had already shouted several times, and there was no response from there, but he felt that the Song people around him were approaching again.

"How is this good, Dafu, I think they seem to have bad intentions, it is better to go back for the time being, and then think about it." Yan Zhongfan approached Lian Xixian's back and said, although his tone was light, he couldn't hide his anxiety.

Lian Xixian did not respond, his hand touched an accessory on his waist, which was a tiger-shaped talisman, made of pure gold, lifelike, and the two eyes on his head were embedded with turquoise pearls, which were given by the Great Khan himself when he left Beijing, in recognition of his trip to appease the kings of the northwest alone.

It was an experience of nine deaths, and Lian Xixian still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now, but he is young at the end, and he insisted on going as soon as his brain was hot. You must know that before him, the two groups of envoys who went to Xuanfu were killed, and the disobedience of those people was already exposed, and everyone advised him not to send him to death.

As soon as he entered the big tent of Siriji and the others, the knife and axe man with a big waist and round waist was sharpening his knife outside the tent, and the group of people in the tent looked at him with mocking eyes, like a dead man. Afraid that it was useless, Lian Xixian, who was out of the way, was not afraid, made a generous statement, said it with emotion, and led by Cyriji personally came down to hold his hand and repent, at that moment, Lian Xixian only felt that there were no regrets in this life.

It's just that those people and the Great Khan are brothers of the same clan and clan, even if everyone fights to the death, generally speaking, they rarely kill the envoys. Isn't it better to be looked down upon by them, who can read Chinese since he was a child, and now Lian Xixian, who can speak fluent Chinese, doesn't believe that those people in front of him dare to do it.

"Just stand here, don't move, keep shouting, it's a big deal, what is there to be afraid of." Hearing the highest commander of the team say this, everyone had to dispel the idea of retreating, and the guards on the periphery were even tighter, covering every gap, and in case of a move, they could also protect them from escaping.

Feng Ji, the bearded deputy general of Dusong, stared coldly at the group of people not far away, his subordinates had already dispersed according to the order, faintly forming an encirclement from several directions, as long as he gave an order, it would definitely be okay to take down this group of 100 people, but he couldn't give an order now, the shouts of those people were very clear, if it was really a messenger, it was not something he could move.

He was waiting, his own soldiers had already gone to find the chief officer, and the people below didn't seem to have any intention of retreating, how to understand the matter, they could only wait for Zhang Wei to come. Fortunately, he didn't let him wait too long, and the footsteps of the brigade behind him made a "rustling" sound of stepping on the leaves, and he didn't have to look back to know that it was Senator Zhang who had arrived.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wei's old voice sounded behind him, Feng Ji leaned sideways and gave up his seat, the angle here is very good, there is a very thick cypress tree in front, you can see the situation below with a slight tilt, Zhang Wei stood in front of him, held on to the trunk and looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed.

There are not many people, and the weapons they carry are also ordinary, if it is really what they call the envoys from the north, they have to let them pass, but Zhang Wei doesn't quite understand that the road to Lin'an Mansion is not only this, but there are also more people who are easier to walk than here, why do they insist on passing from themselves.

You can't blame Zhang Wei for thinking too much, Dusong Pass is too tight, it is almost the gate of Lin'an City, once this place is breached, there will be no danger in front of it. Therefore, he had to think more cautiously about serving as such a guard at an advanced age, and he didn't react for a long time, which made Feng Ji a little surprised, he turned around to look at his old handsome, and suddenly found that there was something different in Zhang Wei's eyes.

Feng Ji couldn't believe it, this was killing intent? To tell the truth, Feng Ji also didn't like to see the people below, the war between the north and the south got up early, they were sent to guard the pass, and they had already regarded the Tartars as the enemy of life and death, and they couldn't wait to kill them immediately, but if the people in front of them were really messengers, they would kill them like this? How will the court explain.

"This official is ordered to guard this place, and it is not the duty of a certain person to pass the customs unless it is an urgent matter of this dynasty, and since these people have been confirmed to be Tartars, they must not pass. As for what kind of messenger he claims to be, he doesn't know anything about it, but he can kill any Tartar! ”

Zhang Wei glanced at Feng Ji and said viciously, Feng Ji didn't expect Lao Shuai to suddenly talk about killing, and he was taken aback, but since his own officials said so, he didn't have anything to say. The old handsome's eyes were staring at him tightly, which made Feng Ji a little puzzled, and after a while, he suddenly thought of something and spoke hurriedly.

"Senator, please relax, a certain person has blocked all retreats, these people will never slip through the net, if there is a mistake, a certain person is willing to come to see him." Feng Ji patted his chest and assured Zhang Wei, and the other commander he brought also clenched his fists to express his willingness to obey the order, Zhang Wei nodded, raised his arm and wanted to give the order.

Before he could make a sound, a cavalry galloped into his sight, here are all mountain roads, they never ride horses on patrols, Zhang Wei couldn't help but put down his arms, and when he arrived, he jumped off the horse, this was a crony he left on the pass, riding his own horse.

"Senator, there are hundreds of military horses coming to Guan, claiming to be from Jiankang City, led by Liu Jiyi, who passed through us with Master Wang last time, and is the one who told us about the ancients." The cronies were afraid that the old man would forget, so he added a sentence at the end, Zhang Wei suddenly realized, Master Wang has been out of the customs for several months, is this going back to the court?

Zhang Wei was about to walk back, Feng Ji on the side pulled his arm and pointed in the direction below, Zhang Wei remembered that there was still this file that had not been dealt with, but the arrival of Liu Yu and his party made him feel that he was killing people at this time, and it would be even more troublesome if it was leaked, how to deal with these people, Zhang Wei's head was a little big for a while.

"Senator Zhang in front, I was taken care of in the past, and I haven't thanked you yet, but unfortunately I can see it today, how fortunate it is!" In the middle of the struggle, another voice sounded from the direction of the close, before the person arrived, the words had reached everyone's ears, Zhang Wei looked in the direction where the voice came from, and Liu Yu's smiling face had appeared in front of him.

can be regarded as acquaintances, the story of Liu Yu's Water Margin was still quite attractive at the beginning, and they were very impressed, so as soon as he appeared in front of the pass, he was recognized, and after checking the documents, he also entered the customs smoothly, but no one knew that he deliberately detoured here, in fact, there were other things.

Taking advantage of the cold and noisy efforts, Liu Yu glanced at the situation under the mountain, and it was quite timely, Zhang Wei and they hadn't done it yet. Feng Ji looked at him and turned his gaze downward, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and after getting Zhang Wei's secret consent, he simply put the matter here together and let him give an idea.

"Dusongguan is so important, we must not let him wait for prying eyes, and kill people on this" Liu Yu paused, his eyes swept over the faces of the three leading people, Zhang Wei and the others were a little uncomfortable when he suddenly said the central matter.

"It's not a good policy, there are too many heads and tails, and the court knows about it, and there are some obstacles to the Senate, according to a certain person, it's better to be like this" Liu Yu continued, the old god was on the ground like a military advisor with a feather fan in his hand, and the three of them came around to listen to him carefully, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, this trick was not bad.

Liu Yu didn't stay anymore after speaking, after all, this is someone's place, just make an idea, you don't have to watch others act, then it's a bit taboo, after taking a few steps, he looked back at the young man who was surrounded in the middle in the distance, tall and tall, and his face was the kind of people from the Western Regions, which was different from ordinary Mongolians.

"Lian Xixian, remember, you owe me a life." Liu Yu said secretly in his heart, and then turned his head and followed the previous cronie towards the close. R1058
