Chapter 343: Hostage

Wan Yankang put down all the affairs at hand, big and small, and the starry night Pegasus went south.

The straight-line distance from Zhongdu to Kaifeng Mansion is close to 1,500 miles, and the distance to the south by the official road reaches 2,000 miles. Wan Yankang set off from Laba in the evening, and it only took one day, one night, and two hours to rush to the front-line camp in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Rao is little black god is handsome, and he is almost collapsed from exhaustion at this time. After Yan Kang arrived at the barracks, he jumped off his horse a mile away, led Xiao Hei slowly, and immediately ordered someone to take care of him after entering the camp.

Surrounded by the generals, after entering the tent, Wan Yankang first praised the generals: "In the cold winter of the moon, leading the troops outside, repeatedly performing miraculous feats, you have worked hard!" ”

Insert a sentence, the book reading app I have been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!

"Your Majesty Hongfu!" Under the leadership of Wu Shiman and Wu Feixiong, the generals knelt on one knee in unison.

"Get up and talk, and bring the latest military information."

After everyone got up, Wu Shiman began to report the latest military situation. It has been nearly two months since the three-way army went south, and the progress is different.

The Eastern Route Army moved the fastest, and had already completed the set task half a month ago.

The army of the West Road is second, a few days ago has gone down to Xi'an, only the westernmost Fengxiang Mansion and Lintao Mansion remain, because of the remoteness, has not had time to recover.

Wu Shiman's army in the middle lane made the slowest progress.

Xiao Baili captured Zhending Mansion, but was taken advantage of by Wan Yangang to flee. This person went all the way south and fled to Luzhou, where he reorganized his troops and horses.

Wu Shiman hated Yan Gang deeply, and after recovering the entire territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, he immediately waved his army to besiege Luzhou, and did not allow Yan Gang to escape again. In this way, it took another ten days to capture Luzhou. Then the army went south to capture Henan Fu and Zhengzhou, which was relatively smooth.

But under the city of Kaifeng, the army did not advance an inch.

After the military report was completed, Wan Yankang gave some praise again, and then ordered the generals to return to the camp, leaving only Wu Feixiong and Wu Shiman here.

"What's going on?" Wan Yankang asked in a deep voice.

Wu Feixiong knelt on one knee and bowed his hand to the top: "The last general is not in a good position, please condemn Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up and speak well."

After Wu Feixiong got up, he began to explain the cause and effect in detail.

The Eastern Route Army made the fastest progress, completing the set strategic tasks in less than a month. Wu Feixiong selected 100 capable soldiers with southern accents, originally wanting a young general to lead the team south. But he thought about it, and finally decided to personally lead the team to sneak into the Song Realm and go to meet Lin Feifeng.

Wu Feixiong and others pretended to be two caravans, transported dozens of truckloads of good cattle and sheep skins, one team set off from Sizhou, and the other team set off from Chuzhou, and agreed to meet in Jiankang.

The furs and horses of the northern land are extremely sought-after goods in the Song realm, although there are some checkpoints along the way, but under the opening of the silver money, both teams of people and horses have arrived in Jiankang as scheduled.

After arriving in Jiankang, Wu Feixiong also successfully contacted Lin Feifeng and explained his intentions.

Lin Feifeng heard Wu Feixiong's intention, and she was pleasantly surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head again and again.

But for Lin Feifeng, her identity is first and foremost the leader of the Groove Gang. There are thousands of people in the Groove Gang, and they all point to her as the leader of the gang when they eat and live, so that she hurriedly abandons the Groove Gang, a huge family, and goes north with Wu Feixiong, but she refuses to do anything.

Wu Feixiong's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to hastily dispose of the fur he brought, and chartered a restaurant in Jiankang for his soldiers to enjoy the food in the south of the Yangtze River, and then prepared to return north on a later day.

Unexpectedly, Wu Feixiong was actually seen by acquaintances in Jiankang. This person knew that Wu Feixiong had been reducing his gold for more than ten years, and it was not unusual for him to appear in Jiankang at this moment, so he immediately reported it to the prefect of Jiankang. After the prefect of Jiankang received the report, he did not dare to arrest the Jin people without authorization, for fear of causing disputes between the two countries, so he only ordered people to spy on them secretly and find out the intentions of Wu Feixiong and others.

Before Wu Feixiong left, he specially said goodbye to Lin Feifeng and made an explanation. He thought that his whereabouts were secretive, but he knew that he was all in the eyes of the Song State spies. As soon as Wu Feixiong and the others withdrew, the Jiankang prefect immediately organized troops and arrested Lin Feifeng and the high-level officials of the Groove Gang.

Knowing that Lin Feifeng was the outer chamber of the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, the prefect of Jiankang immediately felt that this was a hot potato, and immediately stepped up to report to Lin'an for eight hundred miles. A few days later, Lin'an ordered Lin Feifeng to be sent to Tangzhou and handed over to the people of the Southern Dynasty of the Jin Kingdom to pick him up.

Before Wu Feixiong left, he specially left ten shrewd soldiers in Jiankang as eyeliner. After these ten people found out that Lin Feifeng had been arrested, they sent people north to report to Wu Feixiong while inquiring about Lin Feifeng's condition.

After Wu Shi's barbarian soldiers came to Kaifeng City, they found that a woman was sacrificed in the city to block the army from attacking the city

Bright condition. Wu Shiman knew that Wan Yankang was not an abusive person, and this time he specially explained that Wu Feixiong went south to find someone, which shows that this woman must be extremely important in his heart.

Faced with this tricky situation, the two did not dare to specialize, so they had to set up a large camp under Kaifeng Mansion, which made Pegasus return to Zhongdu.

After listening to it, Yan Kang was silent for a long time before he said: "The matter has come to this point, and I can only take a look at Yan Hongyan tomorrow and do what I want to do with this." ”

"The last general is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" Wu Feixiong knelt on one knee again, his face genuinely frightened.

"It doesn't have to be like this, you have done your best in this matter, how can I blame you!" Wan Yankang helped Wu Feixiong up and hugged him gently, to show that he had no intention of blaming.

At dawn the next day, Wan Yankang ordered the whole army to assemble, besiege the city on all sides, and prepare for the siege.

After a night's rest and feeding of concentrate, Xiao Hei has recovered most of his spirit, finished wearing Yan Kang neatly, turned over and galloped in front of the battle, checking the movement in Kaifeng City.

Just after a heavy snowfall during the night, the outside of the city was blank. Wanyan Kang's army is full of armor, black and white in the snow, showing the intention of slaughter.

With the beating of war drums outside the city, the defenders of Kaifeng City were ready to fight, and immediately reported to the palace.

Wanyan Hongyan ran to the head of the city, and he saw that the handsome flag outside the city had changed from a Wuzi banner to a Xuanxi dragon flag, and he immediately knew that Wanyan Kang, the new emperor, had arrived. It only took a few days for Kaifeng to launch Lin Feifeng, and after Yan Kang was able to rush here, the status of this woman in his heart seemed to be more important than he expected.

As soon as he thought of this, Wanyan Hongyan immediately ordered someone to take Lin Feifeng out.

The moment Lin Feifeng appeared in the city, Wan Yankang couldn't help but step forward. His eyesight is outstanding, and although he is separated by more than a hundred steps, he can see clearly. I saw Lin Feifeng wearing a white cotton suit, his hands were tied behind his back, and his face was extremely pale.

"Fei Feng'er!" Wan Yankang couldn't help but shout.

Lin Feifeng has been tortured in the past few days, and the whole person has already been overwhelmed. Hearing this familiar shout at this moment, she immediately raised her head and looked out of the city.

Although he couldn't see Yan Kang's face clearly, judging from the figure of the horse, Lin Feifeng knew that his lover had arrived.

Two lines of hot tears flowed silently from her eyes.

Lin Feifeng was extremely remorseful about his previous decision. When she was in Jiankang, she never went north with Wu Feixiong, not only because she couldn't let go of the trough gang, but also because Wan Yankang did not come in person, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart. Wan Yankang is now respected in the south and is the lord of Dajin, and it stands to reason that he should be sitting in the middle capital at this moment. And he was escorted here for only a few days, and Wan Yankang had already rushed to the front line, obviously taking himself very seriously.

"Virtuous nephew, your woman is here, hahahaha!" Wanyan Hongyan laughed loudly.

For ordinary people, Wanyan Hongyan's laughter in the city is difficult to spread far, but Wanyan Kang's ears are outstanding, but they can be heard clearly.

"Wanyan Hongyan, release people quickly, I can spare your life!" Wan Yankang suppressed his anger and shouted in a deep voice.

With Wan Yan Kang's shout, Wan Yan Hongyan turned out behind him, holding a dagger, patting Lin Feifeng's face constantly, and at the same time laughing loudly outside the city: "My good cousin, I'm so scared!" I'm so scared! ”

Wan Yankang saw that this person was Wan Yan Caigao, and with every slap of his dagger, Wan Yankang's heart was pounding. He took a deep breath and exhaled: "The face is high, what do you want?" ”

"Cousin, you're standing so far away, I can't hear you clearly!"

When Yan Kang spoke, he was already using his internal strength, and he couldn't say more than 100 steps, even a mile away, and he could hear it clearly. Wanyan Caigao said this, obviously trying to trick him into coming forward.

Wanyan Kangyi was bold, and he didn't care about any conspiracy and tricks of this person, so he urged the horse to take dozens of steps forward and came to a hundred steps away from the city wall.

Wan Yan Cai Gao saw that Wan Yan Kang really stepped forward, and he was secretly overjoyed in his heart, and whispered an order to let the archers in the city prepare.

Wanyan Hongyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he immediately whispered: "No, if Wanyan Kang dies in the city, how can we survive." ”

After speaking, he ordered the generals to not let go of an arrow without his life.

When Wan Yan Gang was there, the military and political power was in his hands, and Wan Yan Hongyan was just a puppet. But with the defeat of Wanyan Gang's front, Wanyan Hongyan began to seize power.

Although Wanyan Hongyan was proclaimed emperor by virtue of a pseudo-edict, the people of the time still agreed with the so-called righteousness, and this person had excellent means, and after promising high-ranking officials to the heavy generals of the Southern Army, he killed several hardcore cronies of Wanyan Gang

Completely controlled the overall situation of Kaifeng Mansion.

After listening to Yan Hongyan's order, all the soldiers at the head of the city put away their bows and arrows and did not dare to move.

Wu Shiman saw the movements in the city, so he waved his army forward, ready to meet Yan Kang at any time.

Wan Yankang heard the movement behind him, turned his head and stretched out his hand to stop the army's movements: "Don't worry, a hundred steps away, they can't hurt me." ”

All the generals knew that with Yan Kang's kung fu, if it was just three or five cold arrows, it would be no threat at all, so they were ordered to stop the horse and walk two hundred steps away. It's just that Wu Feixiong was still a little relieved, so he led dozens of soldiers to run dozens of steps behind Wan Yankang to prepare for the unexpected.

Seeing that the army was holding its foot, Wan Yan Kang turned his horse around twice, and shouted to the city again: "Wan Yan Hongyan, what conditions do you have, you might as well talk about it." ”

Wanyan Hongyan laughed: "South of the Yellow River, all belong to me, I will let this beauty reunite with you, how about it?" ”

Wan Yankang sneered: "Wishful thinking! If you know each other, I will not blame you for all the past and spare the lives of your father and son. Your father and son can take away 200,000 yuan in silver, and choose another place to become a rich man. ”

"One hundred thousand silver taels, do you send it to Hanako!" Wan Yan took a step forward and shouted outside the city.

After yelling, he turned back, pulled Lin Feifeng forward, and put a dagger on her neck: "Wan Yankang, is your woman's life worth 100,000 taels?" ”

Wan Yankang shouted in a deep voice: "If you dare to touch a single hair of her, I won't kill you, I will make you regret giving birth!" ”

Wan Yan Cai Gao is still a hundred steps away from Wan Yan Kang, but with this sentence, Wan Yan Cai Gao suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

After an instant of fear, he was angry in his chest, cut off a strand of Lin Feifeng's hair with a brush, and threw it down the city: "Wanyankang, what can you do to me!" ”

Wan Yankang's anger surged, and he wanted to urge Xiao Hei to step forward several times, but he forced himself to suppress his impulse.

Xiao Hei felt his master's anger, and he also became restless, trampling back and forth on the snow.

Wan Yan Hongyan saw Wan Yan Kang's anger, and was afraid that his son would hurt Lin Feifeng on impulse, and when there were no chips in his hand, everything would be over. He pulled away and shouted outside the city: "Virtuous nephew, your concubine has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, just 100,000 taels, isn't it insulting to a beauty." ”

Wan Yan Kang was also worried that Wan Yan Caigao would hurt Lin Feifeng, and at this time, seeing that Yan Hongyan was sensible, he took the initiative to soften: "South of Kaifeng, the land that our army has not taken will no longer be taken, how about it?" ”

Wanyan Hongyan was overjoyed when he heard this, he pondered it carefully, and shouted again: "How to guarantee it?" For what period? ”

Wan Yan Kang pointed at the sky with a silver spear, and said loudly: "I swear here that Ruoer and others will return Fei Feng'er safely, and in the lifetime of your father and son, my army will never go south to Kaifeng!" If you break your oath, the sky will thunder! ”

As soon as these words came out, the army behind Yan Kang was in an uproar. But after the generals drank the order, it was not long before it subsided.

Wanyan Hongyan also knows that this should be the bottom limit of Wanyan Kang, if it is according to his temperament, for the sake of a mere woman, it will never be possible to do this. He knew that Wan Yankang had always been true to his word, and he swore in public today that he would not break his oath.

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase!" Wanyan Hongyan stroked his palms and laughed, thinking that everything was fine.

Wan Yankang also secretly sneered in his heart, the oath he made just now was to leave a back hand.

In the lifetime of Yan Hongyan's father and son, the army will never go south.

But what if these two people died suddenly?

He thought in his heart that as long as Lin Feifeng returned safely, he personally led Qiu Qianren and several other masters to enter the city at night and took the lives of Yan Hongyan's father and son. When the time comes, the army will turn back again, and it will not be easy to take Kaifeng Mansion.

Lin Feifeng was at the head of the city, originally closing his lips tightly and not saying a word.

After listening to Yan Kang's public oath at this moment, the self-blame in her heart was even stronger. Lin Feifeng knew that the ambition of Yan Kang's life was to level the world, and if he was blocked in Kaifeng, it would undoubtedly be a lifelong regret. Even if she can return north safely, it will be difficult to face her Manchu courtiers.

After some entanglement in his heart, Lin Feifeng's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Wan Yankang not far away, and his lips moved slightly.

Wan Yankang had been staring at every move in the city, and at this moment, seeing Lin Feifeng's expression and mouth shape, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before he could react to what Lin Feifeng was talking about, he saw Yiren jump, jumping from the city head to his feet.

Wan Yan Kang was like a thunderbolt, and exclaimed bitterly: "No! ”

With a surge of reverse blood, Wan Yankang spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell off the horse.
