Chapter 220: Messenger of Annan
Under the leadership of Yang Congyi, more than 900 Xuanwei troops joined the attached surrendered army, and more than 2,000 people drove directly to Hejing City.
In Hejing City, Li Quan is gone, and there is no one in charge at this time, and it is a mess.
Seeing that the Great Song army was growing stronger, the soldiers defending the city immediately abandoned the city gate, and the defenders in the city scattered and fled.
Yang Congyi directly led the army to occupy the Ha Jing City Mansion and take over the defense of Ha Jing City.
The subordinate officials in the palace were frightened and immediately knelt down to greet the heavenly envoy.
Yang Congyi said in front of everyone: "From this moment on, Hejing City will return to the management of the Great Song Dynasty of the Celestial Dynasty. Your official position will remain the same, and your duties will remain the same. To emphasize, at this moment, Hejing is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, if anyone is dissatisfied and dares to make trouble, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty has the right to cut first and then play. I hope you don't try the edge of the sword in my hand. ”
Those subordinate officials said that they did not dare, and immediately admitted: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the Heavenly Empire." ”
An hour later, Hejing City was all under the rule of the Xuanwei army, Yang Congyi strictly ordered the army not to harass the common people, everything in the city was the same, there was not much change,
The gate of Ha Jing City was guarded by the Xuanwei Army himself, and the attached army was broken up and incorporated into the Xuanwei Army, and the original army in the city was centrally guarded by the Xuanwei Army.
Everything was almost settled, and after the city gradually calmed down, a warship went out to sea to welcome Lord Dai back to the city.
That night, Zhang Biao took more than 100 people to escort back more than a dozen defeated troops in Annan.
When Yang Congyi saw the look on Zhang Biao's face, he was immediately overjoyed, first, they returned safely, and secondly, the person they brought back, looking at that look in his forties, he should be the commander of the previous defeated army.
In fact, there was no need for Yang Congyi to continue the interrogation, Zhang Biao had already completed the preliminary interrogation of him on the road.
This man was the commander of the army that had arrived from Thang Long, and he was on the verge of fleeing. At this time, due to excessive fright, his spirit was not good, and he was swaying when he walked, and he needed help.
Yang Congyi didn't bother to ask, and directly escorted him down to take care of him.
Zhang Biao said: "I questioned the commander of this army before, they were indeed sent by Shenglong, and they did have bad intentions towards the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. But he only rushed to Hajing City to help after being instructed by others, and he didn't know what the specific purpose was. ”
I don't know again, but this is also in Yang Congyi's expectation, since He Jing doesn't know the history of assassination, it is normal for the commander of a support army to not know, since he wants to secretly do such a thing to offend the Great Song Dynasty, the person behind it must hide himself, no matter whether the matter is revealed or not, he must find someone to carry the black pot.
When Dai Cong returned to Hejing City, he was quite dissatisfied with Yang Congyi's assertions. Suddenly attack the Annamite army, and destroy 3,000 of them, at this time the two countries may have become hostile.
But Yang Congyi didn't care about this, and defended: "My Great Song Dynasty did not officially recognize the independence of Annan, and Annan is still the land of the Central Plains at this time, but some villains take advantage of the Central Plains when they have no time to take care of it, and they support their own troops, so they will take Annan to one side, and now they take advantage of the visit of the Great Song Dynasty envoys, who want to misbehave, and want to humiliate the Great Song Dynasty.
The people of Annam, first, sent people to bring the adults into the city, and when the adults relaxed their vigilance, they transferred troops to surround the adults. Later, he sent 3,000 people from the direction of Shenglong to hurry up, wanting to do something unfavorable to the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. What is the purpose of the Annamite people? Dare to make a move against the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, they have already committed a capital crime first, and it is reasonable to take them down this time. If these people are not punished, how can the small neighboring countries be convinced? The authority of the Celestial Empire can be preserved? Besides, we waited for this trip to come for Xuanwei Nanyang. However, the Annamites sent 3,000 men south to oppose our Celestial Empire. If they are not captured in one fell swoop, the matter of Xuanwei may be a bubble. But if we can really succeed in Xuanwei, when we return to Lin'an, as an envoy, we will definitely have infinite scenery. ”
Of course, Dai Cong is a smart person, but the person he is worried about is that there are few people on our side, and he is in a foreign country, Annan and Nanyang, far away from the land of the Great Song Dynasty, if something really happens, the Great Song Dynasty court cannot support it, even if he can win one or two battles, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue.
Yang Congyi said: "My Great Song Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, and the victory of military power is unimaginable to the countries of Nanyang. Don't say that Annan sent 3,000 people, even if it was 5,000 or 10,000 people, what did it matter? I am a thousand Song boys, and it is okay to treat one as ten. Moreover, Annan was originally the land of the Great Song Dynasty, so how could he stay away from the Great Song Dynasty. Adults don't have to worry about their safety at all, you can sit in Hejing City, and if there is danger, you can leave first. The rest of the matters will be handled by the Xuanwei Army. ”
As soon as Dai Cong heard this, he had nothing to say, since he was safe, the rest would be handled by Xuanwei Army.
Immediately, the military and political affairs of Ha Jing were re-attached to the Celestial Empire, and nearly 2,000 army guards here were reorganized and reorganized, half of which were under the command of the forbidden army led by Lord Dai, and half were directly managed by the Xuanwei Army. However, weapons were not distributed for security reasons.
Time passed little by little, and in the direction of Thang Long, no news came.
The commander of the Annan Army, who was caught before, was forced to be questioned many times before he confided some news.
It was only from him that he learned that he was ordered by the son of the king of Annam to go south this time. When the prince of Annam heard that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived in Ha Tinh, he asked him to lead 3,000 people to come to Ha Tinh to take the Great Song envoys and send them to Huilong City and hand them over to the king of Annam.
But whether this matter was instructed by the king of Annam, no one knows.
Regarding the matter of the envoy, whether to continue to wait in Ha Jing or send someone directly to Thang Long, there was another debate.
After some discussion and analysis, it was unanimously agreed that taking the initiative to go to Shenglong would damage the Great Song Tianwei, and besides, it was no longer safe in the north, so it was better to stay in Ha Jing City and wait for Annan to send someone to contact him.
Shi Xing sent people back to the city to bring news of Shenglong. According to him, after learning that the reinforcements had suffered a disastrous defeat and were shaken by the might of the Great Song Dynasty, the Thang Long direction had re-sent an envoy to contact him, but it was not known who it was, and it was not certain when it would arrive.
This is good news.
At least Yang Congyi knew that the spies he sent had infiltrated Thang Long City and had been able to find out the news.
Yang Congyi asked Shi Xing to continue to lurk in Annam, and the men sent before were best left in Thang Long. They also didn't have much money, so Yang Congyi immediately gave him 1,000 taels of silver as activity funds. The people who infiltrated Annan were all controlled by Shi Xing, so that they had to live in Annan, regardless of whether there was anything to do in the follow-up or not, and to report the news of Shenglong at any time.
Shi Xing took the order and left.
He has already learned how to do this espionage work.
Previously, he had been in Lin'an, serving in the front division of the palace, and he was very aggrieved in that small place, and because he offended the envoys of the Jin State, he was demoted from an officer who was favored to an ordinary soldier, and he had no future in the forbidden army.
Now that he came out with the fleet, he found that the world is big, and he also has the opportunity to show his ambitions, and a few things he has done recently have made him feel a sense of accomplishment and full of confidence in the future, believing that as long as he works hard enough, he will be able to reshape the glory of the Shi family.
Although the men assigned to him by Yang Jianjun were only thirty people, what they did was very important to the entire Xuanwei army and the entire Huiyi fleet. Their news is kept unimpeded, and Ha Tinh's army and Ha Tinh's mission can get the news in advance, make predictions, and be invincible at any time and in everything.
Shi Xing, left Ha Jing, Ha Jing City has been taken by the Xuanwei army and attached to the Celestial Empire, he is here, there is no place for use, he should go to Shenglong, there is the center of Annam, there is his heaven and earth.
Six days later, the messengers sent from the Thang Long direction finally arrived in Ha Tinh City.
As soon as he entered the city, the envoy from Shenglong was brought to the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty.
The envoy of Annan immediately bowed down, claiming that he was a person with a heart, and made his own opinion, ruining the relationship between Annan and the Great Song Dynasty, causing war and chaos between the two countries, so as to profit from it.
Dai Cong immediately asked, "Since you already know, someone is making his own opinion." In your opinion, who can mobilize 3,000 elite troops from Thang Long to Ha Tinh? Where is it now? Whether you sent it yourself, or whether our Celestial Empire sent the Celestial Army to Thang Long City to capture it in person, you have to think about it carefully. Give you another five days, if this person can't be delivered, the Celestial Empire and Heavenly Army will definitely march north and go straight to Thang Long City. You little Annan, don't try to resist the Great Song Heavenly Army.
The Great Song Dynasty was in the northern country, and the grassland Liao State fought for a hundred years, and the other party's elite cavalry was not less than one million, but the Liao State had perished a few decades ago, and the Great Song Dynasty fought with the Jin State for decades, and I don't know how many emperors and how many generals died in the Jin Kingdom, and my Great Song Dynasty was still stable and worry-free. Lin'an City, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, has a population of no less than one million, how many people are there in your small Shenglong City? If I want a small city like Hejing City, I have countless big songs. any state capital,
They all have tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are no less than 100 of them in the Great Song Prefecture, and the total population is no less than 40 million. Even if you think that the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is all in the north, and there are not many elites in the south? As far as any army in the southern state capital is concerned, it is not something that your little Annan can resist.
Now that my Great Song Dynasty is living in peace with the Northern Jin Kingdom, I will turn over and destroy you, and your little Annan will raise his hand. If you don't believe it, take a look at the fate of the three thousand Annan elites sent before. How many troops do you have in Annam? I am a 1,000-year-old man, and I will wipe out all the 3,000 elites of Annan, even if I send another 10,000 people, I will let them have no return! Now I'll give you a chance, go up the dragon, bring the culprit, and hand it over to my Great Song. If you offend the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Army will go south, and the little Annan will destroy the country, and you will be cut off from the national fortune of Annan. Go back, don't say much, I will give you five days, and within five days, no one will be handed over, and what awaits you is the destruction of the country. ”
The envoy said, "Thank you, I will definitely give the envoy an explanation." ”
Dai Cong added: "I would like to remind you, you don't want to find a random person and be able to breathe through. This envoy has received definite information before, and the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is very unusual, at least the prince of your Annan Kingdom. If you send someone lower than the prince's status, you can't make a difference. This envoy waited for you for five days, and as soon as the five days passed, Annan asked for more blessings. ”
The envoy of Annam hurriedly left Ha Jing City.
