Xiao Tzuyong saw that Zheng Da's words didn't look like fraud, so he asked, "How far is Fenghe Cang from here?" Where are Huyanzan and Huyanjin'er now? ”

Zheng Da saw Xiao Tzuyong mention Fenghe Cang, and his mind couldn't help but "buzz", and he said silently in his heart: "The Tartar soldiers who killed a thousand knives want to fight Fenghe Cang's idea!" Previously, they said that they wanted to go to Fenghe Warehouse to buy grain, all of which were to let his mother's big donkey fart, and the real purpose was to burn down the granary and destroy the lifeblood of the Great Song army; Zheng Da is a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can't let these beasts go to Fenghe Cang! ”

Zheng Da thought in his heart, so he pretended to be scared stupid and squeaked in his mouth: "What...... Grain...... Cang ......"

Xiao Tzu Yong saw Zheng Da squeaking and whining, and put the Turkic scimitar in his hand on his neck and bluffed: "Don't say it, don't you?" If you don't say anything, cut down you eating guy! ”

Zheng Da held his head with both hands in a panic and ate: "Don't ...... Other...... No...... Kill me......"

"Take us to Fenghe Cang honestly, Lao Tzu won't kill you!" Xiao Tzuyong put the Turkic scimitar on Zheng Daxiang's neck, and blood suddenly oozed from Zheng Da's neck.

Zheng Da shouted: "Don't kill me, I can't take you to Fenghe Cang!" As he spoke, he tore off a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it around his neck, stopping the bleeding stains.

Xiao Tzuyong saw that Zheng Da tore off the cloth and stopped the bleeding, and said even more fiercely: "No matter how honest you are, it's not a matter of bleeding, but a matter of the guy who eats falling to the ground!" ”

"That's that!" Zheng Da cowardly replied, and then remembered the verdant reeds in the river and river, and scolded viciously in his heart: "The son of a son of a bitch, I think Grandpa Zheng is afraid of you!" Phew, Grandpa Zheng wants you miscellaneous pieces to be led into the reeds for the Huyan soldiers to eat one by one! ”

Zheng Da thought in his heart, so he pondered how to trick these 285 Tartar soldiers into the hundred-mile-long reeds; As long as you trick these miscellaneous people into it, if you think of it, it will be difficult for Shu Dao to go to the sky! After that, Zheng Da found a way to get out and grab Nanyuan to recruit the old general Huyan and Huyan Jin'er, and let them annihilate these thieves! ”

Zheng Da thought about it in his heart, so he showed the appearance of a slave loyal to his master: "Don't be dry, the villain will definitely lead you to Fenghe Cang!" ”

Xiao Tzu Yong saw that he used a Turkic scimitar to wipe it on Zheng Da's neck Lang Pavilion and the old stick was much more honest, so he sneered and said: "As long as Zheng Yishi takes us to Fenghe Cang, we will not only kill you, but also reward!" ”

Xiao Tzuyong said, and actually took out a small piece of gold from his body and said: "Look at this piece of gold, it will be yours when you arrive at Fenghe Cang!" ”

Zheng Dawei promised: "It turns out that the king is so generous, so good; For the sake of this piece of gold, the old decay will also take you to Fenghe Cang! ”

Xiao Tzuyong was suspicious for a long time, and said, "You are not deceiving this king, right?" If you dare to deceive, cut off the guy who eats on your neck! ”

Zheng Da bowed and said: "Look at what the king said, the old man is the one who is about to enter the coffin, how dare he deceive?" It's because I'm afraid that your head will be cut off and you won't have a whole corpse! ”

Xiao Tzuyong paused for a moment and said, "How far is Fenghe Cang from here!" ”

"Dozens of miles!" Zheng Da's eyebrows suddenly danced, he said in front that Tianzhuling Horse Ranch was more than ten miles away from Fenghe Cang, and now he said dozens of miles; Apparently soaking mushrooms with Xiao Tart.

In fact, Fenghe Cang is connected to the horse ranch, and you can see it when you stand on the hill of the horse ranch; But Zheng Da wanted to coax the Tartar soldiers into the reeds, so he said that it was dozens of miles away.

After Zheng Da finished saying this sentence for dozens of miles, he pointed his hand forward and said sonorously: "Out of this gully is the Xiang River, and the bank of the Xiang River is the Xiang River; Fenghe Cang was hoarded in the open space on the bank of the Xianghe River, hoarding tens of millions of stone grain; If the military master pulls it with a carriage, he won't be able to pull it all in a year and a half! ”

Xiao Tzuyong was stunned for a moment, and said, "How many defenders are there in Fenghe Cang?" ”

Zheng Da frowned and said: "There are more than a dozen at the gate, and there are hundreds of people after entering it; But military discipline is rather loose! ”

Xiao Tzuyong put his head around the Lang Pavilion and added, "Are we riding a horse or walking?" ”

"On foot, of course!" Zheng Da improvised and said: "It is difficult to ride a horse down to the river, but it is much more simple and convenient to walk!" ”

Zheng Da played a slippery head, he knew that the Khitans were a horseback people; If these miscellaneous people ride on horses and fight with the Huyan soldiers, they will definitely have an advantage, and if they don't ride into the reeds, it will be a dead end.

There is a saying that there is as much oppression as there is resistance, Zheng Da opened his eyes and saw Xiao Tzuyong's gang of brutes cutting off the heads of the 32 soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and hanging them on wooden shelves; Such brutal methods that are inferior to beasts have no predecessors and no one since.

Zheng Da was really scared silly at first, but he slowly sobered up; I feel that since it has fallen into the hands of tigers and wolves, it is a death to come, and it is better to try another way.

Zheng Da thought of the old general Huyan and the girl Jin'er of Huyan, and the girl Jin'er was famous for her martial arts; Twenty or thirty Tartars were not necessarily her opponents, so they lured the wolf into the trap; I plan to let the Huyan soldiers wipe out this gang of miscellaneous pieces.

Xiao Tzuyong saw that Zheng Da said that it was convenient to walk without riding a horse, so he had to let the 285 Cavalry Tielin Army tie the horse to the big stump and leave more than 20 Tartar soldiers to guard it; The other 260 men were armed with spears and short knives, and carried bows and arrows, and the wolves rushed to the river as if they smelled the smell of lambs.

Seeing that Xiao Tzu Yong acted exactly according to Zheng Da's instructions, Tart Mahe couldn't help but muttered in his heart: What tricks does this old man have to play? At first, I was so scared that I peed my pants, but now I show that I am so active, and I don't let the horseback riding say that it is easy to walk.

Tart Mahe grunted and told Xiao Tart Yong his thoughts, and Xiao Tart Yong thought for a while and said, "Tart Ma's words are very reasonable, but we have a dark eye on the terrain here; I have to let the old man lead the way! ”

After a pause, he said, "But it doesn't matter, send four soldiers to guard him from front to back, left and right; Even if he wants to play tricks, he doesn't have a chance to ......"

However, it is said that the 800 Tianxiang army led by Lu Chengyu was inspected by Song Taizong at Wanshengmen in Tokyo, and drank the imperial wine given by the emperor himself at the imperial wine platform by the Jinming Pond; All the officers and men were in good spirits and marched to the northwest frontier with great vigor and high spirits.

When the army passed through Luoyang and entered Guanzhong, Liu Min suggested that the banner should be silenced and the people along the way should not be alarmed; Lu Chengyu adopted Liu Min's suggestion, and the 800 Tianxiang army and the 100 carriages behind escorted two or three hundred; A team of thousands of people stayed overnight and soon arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

Jingzhao Mansion is the ancient capital of Chang'an, and the Tianxiang army repaired in the city for two days; Lu Chengyu summoned Liu Min, Wen Tongxiao, and Zhao Yuanzuo to discuss the marching route.

Liu Min said bluntly: "It stands to reason that it is most convenient to enter Northland Kyushu from Bianjing diagonally through Taiyuan Mansion, but a Yellow River has become a moat, and we cannot cross it; The reason why I passed Luoyang and walked through Guanzhong was not to pass through the Yellow River! ”

After a pause, he said: "Now that the army has come to Chang'an, the hinterland of Guanzhong, there are only three ways to go!" ”

Lu Chengyu frowned and said, "Those three ways can be taken, Minzi little sister tell them quickly!" ”

Liu Min stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Our destination is Northland Kyushu, but Northland Kyushu Xia, Yin, Jing, Sui, Yuan, Lin, Fu, Hong, and Feng are distributed on thousands of miles, and the first road from Jingzhao Mansion to the north is through Yaozhou, Fangzhou, Yanzhou, Yan'an, this road is high and steep, and the road is rugged and very difficult to walk; The second road passes through Xianyang, Chenzhou, and Gyeongju to reach Hongzhou, which is also difficult to walk; The third is to cross the river, through Fengxiang, Weizhou, Yuanzhou can also reach Hongzhou! ”

Liu Min said with a fixed mind and said impassionedly: "The three paths have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first two are close but there are many dangers and obstacles; The latter path was farther but smoother, and the two generals wondered which one we should take! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo picked up and said: "Of course, it is necessary to take the flat third way!" It is not easy to be detected by the enemy when walking from the third road, and there must be spies of the Liao and Western Xia people on the first and second roads; What's more, we brought 100 wagons of baggage, and it was impossible to walk the rugged road of mountains and mountains! ”

Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao clapped their hands and praised, and said that the eldest prince was a lucky general; It will definitely bless the Tianxiang Army to pass the third road smoothly.

After the march road was finalized, Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao led the army to march slowly; Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo, Wang Yang, Zhao Ji, Huo Buffalo, Grandpa Huo, Grandpa Liang, Chen Yiyun, Tu Youmei, Lai Zhenyue, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, Wang Renqing, Hongyun, Lu Xing, Lanmei, Bai Xue, Qiao Sister, Qiao Mei and a group of 19 people took the lead in entering the Xianghe River Road.

Zhao Yuanzuo saw the lush hundred miles of reeds, and his heart couldn't help but stir; shouted to Liu Min, who was following behind: "Aunt Min, do you dare to compete with Xiaosheng on horseback?" ”

Liu Min's mount was a black horse, and when he saw Zhao Yuanzuo say this, he happily said, "What don't you dare?" Come on, let's have a game! ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo rode up on the bank of the river......

However, it was said that Zheng Da led Xiao Tzuyong's 260 Khitan Tartars out of the big gully of the Tianzhuling Horse Farm, and saw the water of the Miao River flowing in front of him; The reeds on both sides of the bank are lush and green, and the height is more than one person high; Short ones can also reach waist-high.

Xiao Tzuyong stood on the bank of the Miao River and stared for a while, seeing the scenery; The grass grows and the water is deep, and he looked at Zheng Dadao and said, "This is the river?" ”

Zheng Da glanced at Xiao Tzuyong and said with a smile: "Theoretically, this is also a river, but the real river is in the Parrot Island built by General Huyan!" ”

"Parrot Island!" Xiao Tzuyong asked again: "Is Parrot Island on the south bank of the Xiang River or on the north bank of the Xiang River?" ”

"On the North Shore, of course!" Zheng Da said excitedly: "The old general Huyan built the Parrot Island in the reeds on the north bank of the Xiang River, and built a small wooden bridge from the south bank to lead to it; Parrot Island has fish ponds, lotus ponds, and turtle ponds. The old general Huyan would hold a small boat to fish and catch shrimp in the reeds in the cool morning, and later his granddaughter Huyan Jin'er took over her grandfather's class, and the reeds that expanded to both sides with Parrot Island as the center were the real sense of the river......"

Zheng Da was talking in a loud voice, and suddenly stopped talking.

Xiao Tzuyong felt strange and looked forward; I saw two teenagers, a man and a woman, riding on horses and speeding towards this side......

Chapter 346: Western Expedition (21)

two handsome young men, one is Liu Min and the other is Zhao Yuanzuo; After the two entered the Xianghe River, Zhao Yuanzuo had the ingenuity to compete with Liu Min on horseback, leaving the 17 entourages of Grandpa Huo and Grandpa Liang far behind, and entering Xiao Tzuyong's field of vision of 260 Khitans in Liao.

Liao Guo is greater than Yue Xiao Tzuyong, under the leadership of Zheng Da, said that he was going to Fenghe Cang, but Zheng Da was slightly scheming; Brought Xiao Tzuyong's 260 Tielin Army into Luweidang and met Zhao Yuanzuo and Liu Min unexpectedly.

I'm afraid this is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, who is the praying mantis and who is the cicada; It's really hard to say who the yellow finch is staring at.

Xiao Tzuyong saw Zhao Yuanzuo and Liu Min riding horses and driving over, and drove their horses over; It seems to be playing hide and seek, playing house, and the heart is wandering in reverie; Let Tie Lin Jun hide his body in the reeds and look at the riverbank.

Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo were really running back and forth on the embankment, playing hide and seek, but the images of the two meticulously entered the wild of Xiao Tart's bravery.

Xiao Tzu Yong saw Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo being suave, and they were all in their teens; I couldn't help but secretly admire their horse skills, and looked at the costumes of the two with great interest.

The first to enter Xiao Tzuyong's eyes was Zhao Yuanzuo, who saw him wearing a Xuanyi robe and wrapped in a golden chain mail; The eyes are like eagles and falcons, and the mount is a tall red horse. a bow on his shoulder, and a pot of arrows tied to a leather belt around his waist; The Mo knife hangs on the right side of the cowhide belt, and a long-pole square halberd is crossed on the saddle; He is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing.

Xiao Tzuyong stared at Zhao Yuanzuo and then looked at Liu Min, only to see her Xuanyi robe, wrapped in a pair of gold chain mail; Feet on soft-soled pearl embroidered toe boots, helmet is silver-white, with a red tassel hanging from it. Arrow sleeve small clothes, red phoenix eyes, dropped eyebrows, slender figure, delicate skin. He carried a bow and a sword, and a spear in his saddle.

Xiao Tzuyong didn't look at it, but after seeing it, he immediately judged that this was a man and a woman; And that woman is Huyan Jin'er, the granddaughter of the old general Huyanzan that Zheng Da just mentioned - it is reasonable for Xiao Tzuyong to mistake Liu Min for Huyan Jin'er, who made Zheng Da blow Huyan Jin'er to the sky before; As soon as Zheng Da blew it, Xiao Tzuyong really wanted to meet this beauty named Huyan Jin'er, but he didn't expect his fantasy to come true soon.

Xiao Tzuyong confidently thought in his heart and muttered silently: "Huyan Jin'er is really beautiful, it seems that the women in the Central Plains are different from the ladies on the grassland; The women of the Central Plains are dignified and beautiful, and men don't want to leave when they look at their eyeballs; The women on the grassland have been devouring mutton, beef, and horse meat for many months as adults, and their bellies are bulging with animal fat; Not pregnant is like a pregnant woman with a six-month baby! ”

Xiao Tzu Yong's heart shook and revered, and eight hands appeared in his throat: "Arrest this girl named Huyan Jin'er and accept her as his wife, and he will definitely give birth to the son of the Xiao family who is standing in the jade forest!" ”

Xiao Tzuyong thought in his heart and did not take action; Instead, it was arranged for the 3 detachment leaders: Hegulu, Sapporo Imeng, and Gu Yili Card, so that the 260 Tielin Army would not act rashly; All of them hid in the reeds and listened to his commands.

Zheng Da saw that Xiao Tzuyong had made arrangements for Tie Linjun like this, and not only a shadow passed in his heart: This is really sleepy and touched the pillow! You can't sleep if you don't want to!

Zheng Da originally wanted to introduce the Tartar soldiers into the reeds, and then he took the opportunity to get out, and caught up with Nanyuan to call the old general Huyan and Huyan Jin'er; After that, hundreds of officers and soldiers from Fenghe Cang were summoned to kill the bold Khitan Tatars in the reeds; Nazhi was halfway through the road to bite the gold, and Zhao Yuanzuo and Liu Min suddenly appeared in the river river; And it's a gallop on horseback.

Of course, Zheng Da didn't understand what Zhao Yuanzuo and Liu Min were doing, but he could judge from the two of them - they were generals of the imperial court.

Zheng Da couldn't help but be happy when he thought that Zhao Yuanzuo and Liu Min were imperial court generals: the two imperial court generals came at the right time, adding vitality to the killing of the Khitan Tartars......

Zheng Da was happy, but saw Xiao Tzuyong patting him on the shoulder with the knife of the Turkic scimitar and asked viciously: "Is the woman on the horse Huyan Jin'er?" ”

Zheng Da was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Tzuyong to ask such words, "Is the woman on the horse Huyan Jin'er?" ”

Is the person on the horse a woman? Zheng Da asked in his heart, sweeping his gaze to the embankment; I saw two horses running over and running over, and the riders were wearing armor and helmets, and it was difficult to distinguish whether they were men or women.

But Xiao Tzuyong said that it was Huyan Jin'er, so it means that there is a man and a woman riding a horse!

Zheng Da did not answer Xiao Tzuyong's question, and the tart horse (Khitan language: official of the retinue) standing beside Xiao Tzuyong stepped forward and pressed the Turkic scimitar on Zheng Da's head and roared like a wolf: "Why doesn't the old stick answer my wolf master's question!" ”

He grunted, and increased the strength of the Turkic scimitar pressed on Zheng Da's head a little harder: "Speak honestly, but you can't shout to report to the people on the embankment!" ”

It's called wanting the horse to run and not giving the horse grazing. Zheng Da didn't know what to say under the force of the two Turkic scimitars of Xiao Tzuyong and He Gulu.

Zheng Da previously wanted to lure Xiao Tzuyong and his gang to the Parrot Island in the Xianghe River, where the reeds were deeper and denser; Miss Huyan Jin'er is a clever ghost, and she will kill these Khitan Tatars in Parrot Island out of nowhere; But......

He Gulu put the Turkic scimitar on Zheng Da's head and said, but Zheng Da still didn't speak, so he said vigorously: "Tell me quickly, is that woman riding a horse Huyan Jin'er?" Who is that man? ”

As soon as He Gulu asked Zheng Dafang to know that there was a man and a woman riding on the embankment, he climbed along the pole and said, "That's my young lady Huyan Jin'er!" The man is the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo! ”

The crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo is purely a flea on Zheng Da's dog ball, he listened to the old general Huyan tell about the open and secret battles in the imperial court, and knew that Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, made his son Zhao Yuanzuo the crown prince; But he didn't know about Zhao Yuanzuo's abolition, and when he saw He Gulu asking so much, he made up a sentence casually.

However, Zheng Da never thought that his mouth was swallowed on the rake; The handsome young man running on the embankment is Zhao Yuanzuo, but it is not Huyan Jin'er but Liu Min who is on a par with Zhao Yuanzuo.

Xiao Tzuyong listened to Zheng Da say the five words "Crown Prince Zhao Yuanzuo", and suddenly came to his senses.

Xiao Tzuyong heard Emperor Cheng and Queen of Heaven Xiao Xuan say that the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty was called Zhao Yuanzuo, but he didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly in the river.

Xiao Tzuyong took the Turkic scimitar in his hand from Zheng Da's neck, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Are you sure that the young man running on the embankment is the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo!" ”

Zheng Da saw that Xiao Tzuyong was asking seriously, so he made up with certainty: "Yes! My lord just climbed to the imperial prince not long ago, and the crown prince came from Bianjing to visit my girl! ”

As soon as Zheng Da's words fell, he saw Grandpa Huo, Grandpa Liang, Hongyun, Green Apricot, Lanmei, Bai Xue, Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao, Huo Buffalo, Wang Yang, Zhao Ji, Chen Yiyun, Tu Youmei, Lai Zhenyue, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, Wang Renqing 17 people rode horses and rushed from behind.

Zheng Da became interested, and pointed his finger at Grandpa Huo.17 "Did the king see it, those people are the prince's guards; One by one, they were fully armed and wearing armor and helmets, and followed closely behind Zhao Yuanzuo! ”

Xiao Tzuyong is very sure that the young man who is running on the embankment is the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo; The young woman is Huyan Jin'er, the granddaughter of the old general Huyan

Xiao Tzuyong waved the Turkic scimitar in his hand, and said to He Guru with a shaking heart: "Today we can kill two birds with one stone, if we can catch Zhao Yuanzuo, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, in this place, and escort him back to meet the Emperor Chengtian; It's harder than burning down dozens of Fenghe warehouses! ”

He grunted for a while and said, "The king means to capture these 19 people alive on the riverbank!" He Gulu just counted Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo's people, no more, no less, exactly 19 people.

Xiao Tzuyong said happily: "Yes! Our Tielin Army is now 260, and it is not easy to capture 19 people alive! ”

Xiao Tzuyong said and summoned Hegulu, Sapporo Yimeng, and Gu Yili Card to deploy together: "The 260 Tielin Army is divided into four teams, and one team is led by Tart Ma Hegulu with 65 people to make a detour to the north to encircle; One team was surrounded from the east by 65 people led by the Sapporo Imeng, and the other team was surrounded from the west by 65 people led by Arika Koichi; The prince led a pair of 65 to surround from the south, and the three horns were the signal to close the encirclement; The four teams of Tielin Army heard three horns and bravely moved forward to capture Zhao Yuanzuo alive! ”

Seeing that Xiao Tzuyong had finished deploying, He Gulu asked worriedly: "If you can't catch it alive, just use a bow and arrow to shoot it, so as not to sleep too much at night!" ”

Xiao Tzuyong was stunned for a moment, then raised his arm and said: "You can use a bow and crossbow, but you can't shoot to death, only to shoot wounded; If you shoot to death, how to ask for credit in front of the Empress Dowager! ”

Xiao Tzuyong finished deploying and let the four teams hide in the reeds and move forward in a roundabout way; But their actions were discovered by Liu Min, who was running on horseback.

Liu Min noticed the movement in the reeds, slowed down his horse a little, stared at it a few times, and immediately became startled, and said silently in his heart: "This is a soldier moving towards the embankment under the cover of the reeds!" ”

Liu Min didn't dare to think about it and was about to fight the horse forward, but saw Zhao Yuanzuo jump the horse's head and return.

Zhao Yuanzuo saw that there was no Liu Min beside him while running, and when he looked back, he found that she was paying attention to the horse, so he turned back, and teased while running: "Little sister, are you admit......ting defeat?"

Liu Min pressed his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture, and Zhao Yuanzuo stopped talking; Liu Min leaned over to him and whispered, "Brother Chong, Minzi found that there was a situation in the reeds!" ”

Liu Min said, solemnly: "Listen to Liu Min's command, continue to fight the horse to the east and don't look back!" ”

As soon as Liu Min's voice fell, he squeezed his legs on the black horse's stomach a few times; And the horse galloped forward.

Zhao Yuanzuo drove his horse behind Liu Min unreasonably, and Liu Min's horse stopped at a turn; After Zhao Yuanzuo caught up, the two dismounted.

Seventeen people from Grandpa Fire saw Liu Min and Zhao Yuanzuo get off the horse, and surrounded them noisily.

Liu Min saw everyone gathered around, so he made a long story short: "Minzi and the eldest prince have just driven their horses to amuse, and they have discovered a new situation......
