Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Golden Soldier (The Third Collection)
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled like thunder. Hundreds of iron horsemen, just surrounded by Dajin Nanjing Road Metropolitan Supervisor Wan Yan Zongwang and Dajin Nanjing Road Metropolitan Commander Wan Yan Yanmu walked in front.
Both of them are only in their thirties, one of them was fierce and hideous, short and stocky, and at a glance he knew that he was a very difficult ruthless person to deal with, and it was Wanyan Agu's half-brother Wanyan Yan's mother.
The other person gave birth to a bodhisattva face, with a plump face, big earlobes, not fierce at all, always with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was very easy to talk when he looked at it...... This person is the actual commander of the Jindong Route Army, who broke the city of Tokyo in history, arrested Song Huizong and his family to the Five Kingdoms City to drink the northeast wind, and made them all the green hat kings Wanyan can't leave, also known as Wanyan Zongwang.
In front of these two, about four or five miles away, is the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River that rises above the ground, like a long low mountain beam!
Behind the two of them were several five-colored sun flags and red and black sun flags, which fluttered in the north wind, leading endless cavalry and foot soldiers to follow. The main force of the Jindong Route Army marching south finally reached the north bank of the Yellow River.
The army that was brought to the bank of the Yellow River by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu, in addition to the Jurchen headquarters of the Dajin Kingdom, also the Bohai people who turned over with the Jurchens (the Bohai people have a very high status in the Jin Kingdom, almost the second Jurchen boss Bohai), as well as the Khitan and Xi warriors who surrendered to the Dajin Kingdom, as well as the soldiers of various tribes outside the Northeast Saiwai, as well as the Changsheng army of Guo Yaoshi and the Nanjing Road Han Army led by Liu Yanzong. Together, there were more than 60,000 troops. Most of them were cavalry, but some were infantry troops, and when this army set out from Yanjing, everyone was equipped with horses. However, after three months of fighting, many soldiers of the Changsheng army and the Han army have become infantry troops advancing on foot.
However, whether there were horses or not, now every golden soldier had an excited expression written on his face, and the rumbling hooves and footsteps seemed very brisk to them. Because everyone understands that as long as they cross the Yellow River, the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty will be in their pockets. The Great Song Dynasty is a country many times richer than the Great Liao, and the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, is a place where the world's wealth gathers. As long as you enter Kaifeng Mansion and grab a handful, I am afraid that the wealth obtained will be exhausted in several lifetimes!
Countless greedy eyes were cast on the south bank of the Yellow River at this time, and the legendary Kaifeng Mansion of Tokyo, which was full of gold, silver, copper coins, silk and beauties, was all cast on the south bank of the Yellow River!
It is precisely because the wealth of Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo is too attractive to these veterans who have been fighting and killed in the bitter cold land of the north for more than ten years, so the Jindong Route Army went south this time and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion to kill. If there was no defense in the cities of Fuzhou military counties encountered along the way, they opened them to plunder some grain, grass, mules and horses in order to maintain the consumption of the army. If they are very tight, they will not touch it, and they will just go around.
With this kung fu to attack the fortified city that did not have much oil and water encountered on the way south, it is better to reserve the strength to fight the city of Kaifeng in Tokyo! Hit Kaifeng Mansion, gold and silver goods or something, it's not as much as you want!
Now that the Yellow River is in sight, is Kaifeng still far away?
In front of the team, suddenly more than 100 horseback teams rushed towards the red and black military flags of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu. When the more than 100 horsemen approached, Wanyan Zongwang saw clearly that the person in charge was a tall and burly middle-aged man, but there were few taels of meat on his face. He wore a red battle jacket in the style of a victorious army, and a fur hood of a Jurchen man, and although he had long since penetrated into enemy territory, he did not wear armor.
Wanyan Zong recognized at a glance that the person was the three-surnamed family slave Guo Yaoshi whom he hated very much - Guo Yaoshi was really a loss this time, Zhao Ji had nothing to fight on his side, and he had Guo Yaoshi as a treasure. And Dajin Guo can fight too much, and no one can look down on Pharmacist Guo.
And he has three surnames as a domestic slave, maybe four, five or six......
Although he hated Pharmacist Guo very much in his heart, the Bodhisattva who finished his face was still full of kind smiles, and greeted Pharmacist Guo from afar: "It turned out that Guo stayed behind!" Why did you come here on your own? Is there anything important to tell me? ”
Guo Yaoshi crossed his hand on the horse's back, and said with a smile: "Returning to Prince Langjun, the minister met an old acquaintance on the edge of the Yellow River, and this person wanted to come and know you, so he personally brought him here." ”
The title "Prince Langjun" refers to the sons of Wanyan Aguta, not to the crown prince of Dajin. At this time, the Dajin Kingdom still implemented the Bo Ji Lie collegial system, in which the name of Du Bo Ji Lie was changed to the emperor and no longer used, but the Bo Ji Lie, the State Theory Bo Ji Lie, the Amai Bo Ji Lie, the Hulu Bo Ji Lie, the Asher Bo Ji Lie, etc., can discuss national affairs with the Dajin Emperor, and even restrict the emperor's Bo Ji Lie still exists, among which the Tan Ban Bo Ji Lie is the heir to the throne.
"Acquaintances? Who did you meet? The crown prince Langjun asked with a smile on his face.
"I met Zhao Liangsi!" Guo Yaoshi smiled, "It was the Great Song Dynasty official family who sent him to beg for mercy, does Prince Langjun want to see him?" ”
"It's Zhao Liangsi, of course I have to see it." After Yan Zongwang finished speaking, he smiled and said to Wan Yan Yan's mother, "Zhao Liangsi is an old friend of the first emperor!" ”
Wanyan Yanmu nodded, "It's a good person, but it's a pity that I followed the wrong master, and I don't know how to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and waved his hand to Pharmacist Guo, "Go and bring him here!" ”
Guo Yaoshi agreed, but he didn't move the horse, just stretched out his arm and beckoned back, and saw several cavalrymen of the Changsheng Army escorting a fat man wearing the official uniform of the Song Dynasty to Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zong looked at the fat man, and immediately smiled: "Zhao Guizhi, why are you so fat?" It's almost unrecognizable. ”
Zhao Liangsi also recognized Yan Zongwang, so he smiled and said: "Kaifeng dishes are delicious, so I ate a lot, so I raised a fat body, which made the second prince smile." ”
"Hahaha!" Wanyan Zongwang has a temper that likes to joke, and immediately smiled and said, "Then we have to go to Kaifeng City to eat well!"
Zhao Guie, are you here to serve, or are you here to negotiate? If you are here to work, please lead the way. If you want to negotiate, don't beat around the bush and just talk about it. ”
Zhao Liangsi nodded and said, "The envoy is here to negotiate...... The official family has already taken out three million goods and an emperor, and wants to buy a large amount of gold to retire from the army. ”
"Only three million?" Wanyan Zongwang shook his head again and again, and said seriously, "Less, less...... Give at least 30 million, and the emperor has to give 10, otherwise there will not be enough points! ”
Zhao Liangsi said again: "Prince Langjun, the official family also ordered his third son, Yun Wangkai, to be the marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses and an envoy, and also gave him three million treasures and an emperor...... If the crown prince wants to negotiate peace, you can go to the daimyo's mansion to find him. If you don't want to talk about it, then Yun Wang Kaike will use the three million to recruit strong men and make enemies of the Dajin Kingdom! ”
