Chapter 149: The Northern Liao people in the dark
Under the Gubei Pass, the Northern Liao people who began to march on July 16 finally arrived, and the commander of the Northern Liao army this time was the crown prince Yelu Zongkang, and the deputy commander was his uncle Xiao Dahu.
This Yelu Zongkang is a person who likes vanity, so he stops and stops along the way, very chic, starting from July 16, this short 500 miles, walked for seven days.
Many generals in Northern Liao expressed dissatisfaction with this, but under the suppression of Xiao Dahu, everyone also honestly closed their mouths, in Northern Liao, each tribe has its own tribal soldiers, and the clan soldiers of the Xiao family are second to none in Northern Liao, the current patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Dahu, is not only good at fighting, but also a relative, and is the younger brother of the current queen, so Xiao Dahu is determined to be a person like Wei Wuji, and push his nephew to the throne with his own strength to stabilize the world of Northern Liao.
So this time I heard that it was Wei Wuji who was fighting against him, Xiao Dahu has always been very excited, but unfortunately Yelu Zongkang is not Li Jun, Yelu Zongkang is very talented, and it is difficult to give up small profits, which is very headache.
Finally came to the city of Gubeikou, Yelu Zongkang didn't know which tendon was wrong again, he had to make an appointment with Zhang Budo, China's history of generals had to start from before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, since the Warring States period appeared after the appearance of people slaughtering white, this tradition of generals has disappeared.
Xiao Dahu was having lunch, and after hearing the news, he almost choked to death from the rice, so he finally recovered and immediately ran to find Yelu Zongkang.
When Xiao Dahu came to Yelu Zongkang's handsome tent, Yelu Zongkang was flirting with two beautiful women who were snatched on the road, and at this time, Xiao Dahu came in without even informing him, Yelu Zongkang was at a critical time, and said angrily: "Get out." ”
Xiao Dahu coughed, Yelu Zongkang was stunned for a moment, and then punched and kicked at the two women: "Slut, Lonely, let you two go, I didn't hear it." ”
The two women hurriedly hugged their heads and ran away, Yelu Zongkang turned to look at Xiao Dahu and said with a dry smile: "Uncle, haven't you eaten yet?" Would you like to eat together? ”
Xiao Dahu shook his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the minister has already eaten." ”
"Oh, what's the matter with my uncle coming to find Lone?" Yelu Zongkang asked with a smile.
Xiao Dahu sighed and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people of Beijin haven't contacted us for a long time, this is not quite right, and the minister thinks that His Highness should not make an appointment with the Tang Army." ”
"Ah, my uncle came here for this matter, and I have thought about this matter carefully, since my uncle thinks it's inappropriate, then forget it, as for my uncle over there, don't worry, Hang Aishan is originally the place of Beijin, I'm afraid they are more anxious than us." Yelu Zongkang said confidently.
"His Royal Highness can have such insight, the old minister is pleased, but according to the old minister's opinion, it is still necessary to send someone to contact Beijin, and it will be convenient for the two sides to coordinate the battle at that time." Xiao Dahu suggested.
Yelu Zongkang nodded and said: "Uncle is the old man who is planning the country, listen to you alone, you can arrange it." ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your trust, the old minister retired, but the old minister still has to remind His Highness, His Royal Highness is still young, you must pay attention to your body."
Yelu Zongkang respectfully sent Xiao Dahu out of the handsome tent, and then flicked his sleeves and said with a blue face: "Old guy, it's really getting wider and wider, and you have to meddle in Lone's private affairs......"
After Xiao Dahu left, he immediately arranged for a messenger to go to Beijin, from here to the Xifengkou of Beijin, it would take three days to go back and forth, and in these three days, Xiao Dahu planned to temporarily stand still, on the one hand, to rest, on the other hand, Xiao Dahu also had a strong vigilance against Beijin.
The messenger was ready to go, in a mountain forest close to the border of Liaodong in the Tang Dynasty, but was caught by two masked people, the messenger traveled in order to prevent accidents, deliberately wearing Tang clothes, only to see this person speak in a thick accent Tang dialect: "Two heroes, I have two silver in my bag, I have given them to two, please let me go quickly." ”
A big man in black sneered: "Okay, don't pretend, the old men have followed you all the way, so let's not say anything, aren't you going to Beijin to deliver the letter, the two brothers have already written a reply for you, and when the time comes, you can just take it back, and the province will run for nothing." ”
"No, since you know my identity, then you must be from the Tang Dynasty, although Xiao Erhou is not talented, he will not betray the Great Liao Kingdom if he is killed." The messenger said through gritted teeth.
The two big men looked at each other and smiled, one of them in white immediately threw a pill into the messenger's mouth, the messenger hurriedly retched, but unfortunately this pill melted in water, it was too late, the messenger's eyes were red and asked, "What did you give me?" ”
The man in white said with a smile: "Of course it's a good thing, this pill is called the Seven Days Life Breaking Pill, that is to say, you need to take an antidote every seven days, I will give you three antidotes first, you just need to honestly send the letter to your boss, and then come to the foothills next to Xifengkou to find me, I will give you an antidote." ”
"You will not die well." Finally the messenger left crying, taking the letter with him.
After the messenger left, the man in black asked the man in white, "Senior sister, are you okay with this?" ”
The man in white sneered: "Senior brother, could it be that you have forgotten the experiment done by the Yin and Yang family?" ”
Thinking of this, the man in black suddenly shuddered.
When the people of the Yin and Yang family were training the people of Jinyiwei, they once did a notorious experiment, the Yin and Yang family found a few extremely heinous death row prisoners, and then separated them into a small black room, and then pulled a hole in their hands, so that the prisoners listened to the sound of their blood dripping on the basin, and after one night, the next day all the prisoners died of terror, in fact, the wounds on their hands were not deep at all, and the blood had long been gone, and the sound was caused by water dripping on the basin.
This time, the man in white used the principle of this experiment to scare the envoys of Northern Liao.
Sure enough, as expected by the man in white, after the Northern Liao envoy returned, he honestly gave the letter to Xiao Dahu according to the instructions of the two.
Xiao Dahu opened it and looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the letter read: "Beijin is fighting with Datang in Xifengkou, and Xifengkou will be broken in the near future, and I hope that Beiliao will also hurry up and put into the battle." "The only thing that is confusing is that the final seal is Wanyan Zongjun, not Wanyan Zongbi.
So Xiao Dahu asked, "Have you seen the regent in the Beijin military camp?" ”
The messenger hurriedly shook his head and said: "Qi Qi Xiao Shuai, the regent is not in good health, I heard that he returned to Beijin to recuperate, and now most of the military affairs in Beijin are in charge of the prince of Wanyan Sect." ”
Xiao Dahu nodded, and let the messenger retreat.
The messenger left the tent, let out a long breath, and then carefully wiped the cold sweat from his head and left......
And the reason why the name of Yan Zongjun was written this time was because the Tang army captured the big seal of Yan Zongjun, and in order to confuse the truth with the false, he had to make up such a lie, anyway, it is well known that Yan Zongbi is not in good health.
