Chapter 470: Zhao Ji ruthlessly gave up Zhang Jue and the Jin Kingdom marched on two roads
The fleet soon entered the Sriwijaya Strait, an era in which the Malacca dynasty had not yet been established and Sriwijaya was the master of the archipelago.
The young Arab looked around, but found no land, and asked the elder, "Khriri, I can't see land, have we really entered the strait?" Doesn't Sriwijaya have a fleet? Why is it that when we get here, there is no fleet to stop or protect us? ”
Herili smiled and said, "Merciful master, Sriwijaya has its own fleet, Sriwijaya is a country based on sea trade, but the fleet of the Srivijaya people came, they defeated the Sriwijaya fleet before, it is said that it was with an extremely terrifying weapon, in that naval battle, the fleet of Sriwijaya was almost completely wiped out, but the fleet of the Sriwijaya is too small to control the entire Sriwijaya Strait, at this time the east side of the Srivijaya Strait belongs to the Srivijaya people, and the west side belongs to Sriwijaya, and we have just entered the strait now, They didn't go to the dangerous place, and when they got to the dangerous place, there would naturally be a fleet of Srivijaya or Essien. ”
The young Arab nodded and continued eastward, constantly seeing ships around them, fishing boats and merchant ships like them.
After walking about dozens of miles, a small fleet appeared in front of them, and the banner announced their identity, they were the patrol ships of the Newport fleet.
"My master, Mansour, you see, that's the fleet of the Essien, and it seems that Srivijaya can't even control it to the west." Herrili said, pointing to the patrol fleet.
"What are they talking about?" Mansour asked curiously, "And I don't think their ships are very big, is it possible that the fleet of Srivijaya is weak?" ”
Herrili looked at it and said, "They told us to stop for inspection, Sriwijaya is on the main road, I have seen their fleet, although it is not as good as our Mediterranean fleet, but it is not bad, as for the ships of the Essin, these are only small patrol boats, and their big ships are larger than ours." ”
As required by the flag, the convoy stopped, several patrol boats approached, and after pressing the gangplank, a group of sergeants stepped onto the merchant ship.
"Which country's fleet are you? What to bring? Where are you going? One of the sergeants at the head asked in fluent Arabic.
Mansur was a little surprised, he did not expect the sergeant to speak Arabic so fluently, and when he looked closely, he saw that this man had dark skin, not quite like the Essien he had heard of before.
"My dear friend, we are from Egypt and are going to trade in the Song Kingdom, and we have brought our Egyptian specialties, such as spices, dates, and silverware, and we have absolutely no contraband." Herrili said with a smile.
"If there is any contraband, you have to check to find out, you can rest assured, we will not damage your belongings." The sergeant waved his hand, and someone stepped into the cabin to inspect it.
"What contraband are they looking for?" Mansour asked curiously.
"There are two weeks of contraband, one is weapons, except for our own weapons, if there are weapons to be sold, we can only sell them to the government of the Esin people, and the other is living creatures, and any kind of living creatures that are not originally available in the East are not allowed to go ashore, it is said that if these living creatures have no natural enemies, they will multiply in large numbers, and there will be a lot of trouble, Allah is on it, this is something that only the Esin people would think of." ”
After a while, the sergeants left without finding anything, Herrili continued to move forward with the fleet, and soon saw a port, Mansur looked at this port and was surprised, he really didn't expect this port to be so busy, countless ships came in and out, like a big monster, Mansur calculated slightly, the throughput of this port is at least three or four times more than that of Cairo.
The fleet is lining up to enter the port, and they need to repair it here.
This trimming is not linguistic, but really needs to be repaired and organized, in the sea of the twelfth century, the ships of any country can not fight against large wind and waves, in the face of wind and waves, no matter how good the ship is, the most common is the loss of sails, and sometimes in order to quickly escape from the wind and wave area, some goods will be discarded, after all, compared to life, goods are really not worth mentioning.
In this era, those who are willing to go to sea are for wealth, and no one wants to die at the bottom of the sea without earning wealth.
Sea burials were not popular in either the Celestial World or the Eastern World during this period.
Herili took Mansur off the ship, and as soon as he got off the boat, someone came to him with a notebook and asked if he wanted to clear the customs here, and after receiving a negative answer, the man took a few signs and handed them to him to hang on the ship.
Looking at Mansur with a puzzled face, Herrili explained, "If we don't sell the goods again, they won't charge us customs duties, only our docking fees, that sign writes some information about our ships and the start time of docking, and when we leave, we will use this sign as the basis to pay the money, and they will give us a customs clearance flag and paperwork at that time, so that no one will embarrass us until the Song Kingdom." ”
Mansur nodded, and then asked, "I see that many of the clerks here don't seem to be from Essien, what's going on?" ”
"Those with a little dark skin should be the natives here, although the Esin people occupied this place, after all, the time is short, and many things still depend on the natives here. ”
"Oh, Allah, look who this is, my friend, and I'm glad to see you again, and I wish you wealth and good luck with you."
A fat man weighing at least two al-mansurs appeared in front of him, and the robes were obviously Arab, and the long beard and somewhat gray hair indicated that he was no longer young.
"Ah, my friend, it's a pleasure to see you, and I'm here to introduce you, this is my nephew, Mansur, Mansur, this is Mr. Abu of the Ghazni dynasty."
Abu looked at Mansour, nodded, and said, "You really have a good nephew, my friend, you can't sell it for a good price when you come to Newport at this time, there is a war here soon." ”
"What? What's wrong? Herrili asked strangely, "Could it be that the Srivijaya Kingdom is coming over again?" ”
Abu nodded and said, "I heard from the governor's mansion that a few days ago, the king of Srivijaya sent an envoy to Newport to ask the Esin people to leave Newport, where will the fat be spit out?" I see that the war is about to begin, and don't you notice that most of the ships are leaving now? Many of the fleets that wanted to do business here went to Jeju Island. ”
Herrili said gratefully, "Thank you so much, I don't know what you think of this war?" ”
Abuhaha laughed and said, "The Esin have the weapons of the gods, and victory is a certainty. ”
"Weapons of the gods?" Mansur asked, confused, "What's that?" ”
Abu looked at him and whispered, "It's not appropriate to say this here, why don't we go to Haman's house." ”
Hammam House is a restaurant in Newport that specializes in heavenly cuisine, and I don't know when it started, but the merchants of the heavenly world like to come here to talk about business.
Tianfang Sect is actually no longer a small sect in the Song Kingdom at this time, since the Tang Dynasty began to preach in the Middle Earth Tianfang at this time alone in Quanzhou there are tens of thousands of people, but unlike later generations, due to the great self-confidence in their own culture, this period of Tianfang Sect not only did not stand independent of Han culture, but actively integrated with Han culture, and even some simply changed worship to worship heaven, which can simply cause war if it is in later generations.
In Haman's house, Herrili looked around and saw that there were still many Heavenly Merchants, so he said, "Is there really a war going on here?" I don't think anyone is scared. ”
Merchants naturally hate war, with the exception of arms dealers and smugglers.
"Yes, Chief Manager Li has already begun to organize the Esin people here to participate in the escort army, ten days ago, there were at least two thousand Esin annexes here, although those people are not tall, but they look like elites." Abu sighed, "Manager Li also issued an announcement, and now the curfew has begun at night, and a lot of fortifications have been erected outside the port. ”
"If there is a war, how many people will be sent by the Srivijaya Congress? How many Essien are there in Newport? As a descendant of Shomen, Mansour was interested in war.
Abu shook his head and said, "These are all secrets, who knows?" However, everyone speculated that the Esin people could mobilize at least tens of thousands of troops, and the Srivijaya country, if those who were not even lined up in an orderly line were also considered an army, even 100,000 people were also organized. ”
"One hundred thousand? Allah is above, is it so terrible that the wars in the East are all there? 10,000 against 100,000, where is the possibility of victory? Mansour's eyes were about to pop out, you must know that the First Crusade was only 100,000 people, this is already the combined force of several countries in the monotheistic world, these three Buddha countries According to Mansur's previous understanding, they are not a big country in the East, and they can actually mobilize 100,000 people.
"Oh, lovely young man, an army is very different from an army, and no amount of sheep can fight a lion." Abu laughed and said, "Unless the Srivijaya can really invite the gods and Buddhas to come down, I firmly believe that it is the Esin people who will win." ”
As he spoke, Abu seemed to remember some terrifying image, and said, "You have never seen a weapon that only those gods have, and it is something that no number of people can resist." ”
Mansur became more curious about the so-called Celestial Weapon, and he felt that it might be the weapon he was looking for to defeat the Monotheistic Cult.
"Bell, bell, bell!" Suddenly, the sound of golden gongs sounded.
"When the enemy army appears, everyone is forbidden to go out, and those who go to the street without permission after the three-way drum will be beheaded immediately!"
"When the enemy army appears, everyone is forbidden to go out, and those who go to the street without permission after the three-way drum will be beheaded immediately!"
Shouts in various languages appeared, and everyone looked out of the window curiously, and Herrily sighed, "What a misfortune, we have just come to war, and our ships are still parked in the harbor." ”
Look! The army of the Esin has appeared! A celestial merchant said, pointing into the distance.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, a fiery army did not know when it appeared in the city, Mansur took out the telescope from his arms, this maritime weapon has long been introduced to the heavenly world with the sea ship, of course, the telescope held by Mansur and the telescope in the hands of Liang Shanjun are incomparable, even if he takes the best, it is just a triple mirror, and even such a triple mirror, the price is three times the weight of gold, which can be said to be outrageously expensive.
But even so, there are countless maritime merchants waiting in line for such a telescope, and having such a thing at sea is simply an extra life in the face of storms and pirates.
Mansur could clearly see that the sergeants were all well-dressed in iron armor, with a clear banner and high morale.
This is the elite.
"The people of Essien seem to be fearless in the face of war." Puzzled, Mansur asked, "Do the Essien people like to fight so much?" ”
Abu shook his head and said, "The original Essien people are not like this, since these people who call themselves the Pingyin Army came, the Esin people have changed..."
Out of Mansour's sight, Li Jun was standing on the tower with a telescope and looking into the distance.
"Ma Hawen really dared to start a war with us, Hou Ye wrote before that the country needs miners, and I am still thinking about what to do, this Ma Hawen has done a good thing." Li Jun put down the binoculars and said to the general on the side, "Yang Wenjun, this battle is going to be in your artillery, can you arrange it properly?" ”
That will only be in his twenties, and he arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, if there is a mistake, I should be dealt with as a military law!" ”
As he spoke, the army of the Srivijaya State could already be seen faintly with the naked eye, especially the elephant soldiers at the front, which were extremely powerful.
At the same time, in the Sriwijaya Strait, a group of warships rushed from the west to Xingang, although these warships were not large, but the number was extremely large, and on the contrary, a group of Liangshan warships was in formation, just from the quantitative point of view, the warships commanded by Tong Wei and Tong Meng were less than one-fifth of the Sriwijaya country.
Mansour just wanted to try it, but he didn't expect to be allowed to watch the battle, along with dozens of indigenous elders who had been forced to invite him, and of course, a dozen other curious merchants.
Mansur sat at the head of the city, at this time the city has begun to set up a formation, now Mansur can finally see these troops clearly, only to see that there are about six or seven thousand people in the battle formation under the city, of which about a thousand people hold spears, two or three thousand people are crossbowmen, and nearly a thousand people are sword and axe hands, these are all things that Mansur can understand, but there are still two thousand people sitting on the ground to rest. In addition, there are hundreds of cavalry, but these cavalry make Mansur a little sneering, this is also called cavalry? The man is short, and the horse is even shorter, almost like the dwarves of monotheistic legends.
If Mansur told Li Jun his thoughts, Li Jun would have to spit out his bitterness with him, although Jiang De won the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, but these two places are not good places to produce horses, and the war horses are still lacking, all of them below are the cavalry of the Wa Kingdom, and the Arab horses of the heavenly world are simply incomparable, you must know that the Arab war horses are generally about 150 in height, and the war horses of the Wa Kingdom are only 120, plus the height difference between the people, the Wa cavalry and the celestial cavalry stand together, and the difference can be more than 40 centimeters, I can't see it.
But even so, this is a valuable cavalry.
The army of Srivijaya was getting closer and closer, and when he saw that the army of the Han people was already in formation outside the city, the chief general of Srivijaya also gave up the conversation, but directly prepared to attack in a group.
The elephant soldiers composed of more than 100 elephants were the main force of the forward, and the elephants covered in bamboo armor began to charge, and the elephants ran extremely powerfully, and the sound of the knock and the roar from time to time made Mansur on the city tower a little frightened.
"My Allah, the Essin are doomed." Mansur said with some reluctance, "The Essien are too arrogant, if they can hold out for a while by putting the rejection horses in front of the battle, it will be suicide to put the army outside in such a naked way." ”
"Suicide? No, my friend, I'm afraid it's the Srivijaya who is committing suicide. Abu shook his head and sighed, "Look, the Essien have called us here so that we can see whose place it is. ”
Before Abu's words could be spoken, al-Mansur heard thunder all around him, and the loud rumble made his heart beat out.
Before al-Mansur could react to what was happening, he saw several elephants knocked to the ground, and the Srivijaya army behind the elephant soldiers was also punched out of several gaps.
"What happened?" Mansour asked in a panic.
"This is the weapon of the gods." Abu said with a sigh.
The army of Sriwijaya seemed to have known that this would be the case, and was not immediately frightened, but continued to advance, at this time the elephant soldiers were only four hundred meters away from Li Junjun's army, only to hear a jump, nearly a hundred huge crossbow arrows shot out of the city, this is the iron arrow shot by the ballista, the distance of four hundred meters makes these iron arrows become the end of the strong crossbow, but still smashed several elephants wailed, and if it touched someone, it was smashed hands and feet, after all, the weight of this arrow is really not small.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!! Another burst of cannons, this time Mansour saw clearly, dozens of fireballs from the air to the Sriwijaya army, due to the distance pulled, this time there were twenty or thirty elephants knocked down, Mansour clearly saw an elephant was smashed by the fireballs on the head, such a terrifying scene made Mansour can't help but shout "My Allah!" ”
The elephants were still moving forward, but their speed slowed significantly.
These war elephants were pierced by the elephant soldiers, so they couldn't hear the sound at all, but the eyes of the war elephants were still there, and the appearance of their companions being stoned to death made these war elephants afraid, and some even stopped moving forward, shouting in fear, hoping that the owner on their heads could let them go back, but the result was that the elephant soldiers pulled their faces with iron hooks and forced them to continue forward.
"Put!!"
Mansur swore he had heard a shout, and hundreds of iron arrows flew out, leaving less than half of the elephants left.
The third round of shelling began, and at last the war elephant lay on the ground, unwilling to move forward no matter how beaten it was.
However, at this time, the Srivijaya army was already less than two hundred meters away from the battle array, and the charge could be reached without thirty breaths.
The Srivijaya army began to charge, and at this time Mansour could also estimate the number of the Srivijaya army, at least 30,000 people, or even more....
"Buzz!"
The dense rain of arrows flew up, the arrow feathers and the air friction produced a terrifying buzzing sound, thousands of arrows flew down in the form of parabolas, the disadvantages of the poor training of the Sriwijaya army appeared, in the face of the rain of arrows, the shield array that should have appeared quickly did not appear, and the Sriwijaya army that rushed to the front was nailed to the ground by the Qi brush, even if some people held shields, it was useless to face such a dense rain of arrows.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
The rain of arrows flew up and down quickly at a speed of four breaths, this is a rapid fire, within thirty breaths, a full eight formations, more than 20,000 arrows fell on the body of the former army of the Three Buddhas, the rain of arrows denser than the rain completely crushed the courage of the Three Buddhasyajaya people, the rain of arrows nailed to the ground within the boundary line, almost no living person can stand, and outside, many people desperately retreated, for fear of being squeezed into the boundary line.
The bows and arrows of the Srivijaya people are too far behind the Pingyin army.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Victory !! ”
Three loud cries came from the battle array, and Mansur found that he didn't know when, those big men who were originally sitting on the ground and resting had already finished wearing their whole bodies, these people were all wearing black helmets and black armor, and there was a scarlet cloak on their backs that looked particularly majestic, and all of them were holding a strange-looking big knife, but the number was not as large as what they had just seen, only about four or five hundred people, and it seemed that the rest were auxiliary troops who helped them wear battle armor.
The gun array in front was opened, and these four or five hundred people slowly moved forward with big swords, and the entire battle array pressed forward with them, and the artillery and ballistas on the city tower were still being released.
Many people don't understand why the British lobster soldiers of later generations can fight invincible opponents all over the world, after all, the lobster soldiers are to put it bluntly back and forth is to line up to shoot this trick, and even the use of artillery is not Napoleon's opponent, in fact, the success of the British military lies more in the fact that the modern army faces the crushing of the ancient army.
Unless there is a bonus of peerless generals or some special historical events, the general ancient army is extremely afraid of casualties, an army of tens of thousands of casualties can be demoralized as long as there are thousands of casualties, while the modern army can suffer three percent or more casualties because of discipline and non-commissioned officers, not to mention special forces such as the red army, more than eighty percent of the casualties can maintain morale and continue to fight.
Therefore, although for the entire Sriwijaya army, the casualties at this time were less than 2,000, less than 10%, the casualties they caused to the opposing army were still duck eggs, and such a unilateral beating was enough to make them lose confidence.
When the 500-strong heavy infantry began to engage the Srivijaya army, it was just a face, that is, hundreds of Srivijaya troops were killed on the spot, and the remaining Srivijaya army could no longer support it and was completely defeated.
The dwarven cavalry that was despised by Mansur began to move, and they followed tens of thousands of Sriwijaya troops to slash and kill, with hundreds of people as a team to constantly disrupt the formation of the Sriwijaya army, some of the Sriwijaya generals who still wanted to regroup were taken care of Mansour no longer need to look at it, and the battle has been divided into winners and losers.
The massacre, it was a complete massacre.
When al-Mansur returned to the port, he learned that the war on the sea was over.
Relying on the strength of the ships and the artillery, the naval battle ended with the overwhelming victory of the Pingyin army, and the more than twenty ships of the Srivijaya that were captured will be auctioned in a few days, Mansour went to see the ships in the name of the buyer, and found that although these ships were smaller than the warships in the Mediterranean, they were also limited, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, the Esin people could easily defeat the Srivijaya with that magical weapon, so could Egypt also rely on such weapons to defeat the Monotheistic crusaders?
This time the war came and went quickly, four or five thousand three Buddha troops were captured, most of these people will be auctioned off and sent to other places as slaves, although the slave place has almost disappeared in the Song Kingdom, but whether it is the heavenly world or the monotheistic world is a very normal thing, no one sympathizes with these people, Mansur in order to better understand the weapons of the Esin people, and specially went to buy a few people back, but when he found that these people did not know anything, he decided to go and contact the Esin people in person.
- Newport Governor's Office
Li Jun looked at the paperwork and smiled at the number general on the side, "We fought a good battle, not only did we complete the indicators given to us by the Hou Ye, but also made a profit, and after being escorted back to the warehouse, the brothers can share a lot of money." ”
Seventy percent of the seizures will be returned to the public, and three percent will be returned to private interests, this is the rule of the Pingyin Army today, all the seizures will be handed over to the public first, and then according to the three percent as the bonus of the captured troops, of course, who takes more and who takes less depends on merit and position.
"Yes, we won this battle completely, and this point is indispensable, we are still fighting overseas, and there are bonuses, I went down and went around, and many brothers are eager to fight to the king of the Three Buddhas." Tong Wei said tentatively.
Points are one of the souls of the Pingyin Army, whether it is combat or training, whether it is meritorious service or punishment, it is related to points, as for what is the role of points... Whether it is a promotion or a meritorious field after being discharged, the retirement gold is related to points, the Pingyin Army has been established for several years, and it has also begun to have retired people, these retired people are going to divide the fields according to Jiang De's plan, and they are concentrated to divide the fields, so that these people can form a retired farm, after all, these people are his basic plate.
As for the Japanese soldiers, the points can not only be exchanged for land, but also their opportunity to become human beings, as long as they meet the standard, they can let their children go to school, in any place in the twelfth century, education is an extremely precious opportunity, in order to make their children become human masters, these Japanese soldiers are almost only killed in battle and not seriously injured.
"Don't even think about the three Buddha kings." Li Jun shook his head and said, "Our troops are too small, it's okay to hold this new port, if you want to attack everywhere and go to the mountains, the losses will not be small, you must do a good job of ideological work when you go down, and there will be meritorious deeds sooner or later." ”
A scribe walked in, governing Xingang not only needs the army, but also needs government civilians, and there are already some literate Song immigrants in Srivijaya, plus students who have transferred from the army and graduated from Tianxiang Academy, it is enough.
Compared with the army, overseas civilians have always been in a state of extreme shortage, Jiang De had to use a large number of local pro-Han natives, at this time the scribe who walked in was a native of Xingang, the Han name was Zhang Zhongsong, originally he took this name to gain the favor of Li Jun and others who had just conquered Xingang, but when he knew that Li Jun and others did not have any feelings for the Song court, the regret in his heart.
But after all, he was loyal, and Li Jun still used him more and used him as the director of the Office of the Governor's Office.
"My lord, there is a heavenly person who asks to meet, and it is said that there is a big deal I want to talk to my lord." Zhang Zhongsong said to Li Jun.
"Celestial? When don't they have a big business? Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Let him talk to the general manager of the maritime business, and our general government will not do business." ”
After saying that, Li Jun was still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zhongsong, how could such a thing be reported, it was really uneyesightly.
Zhang Zhongsong hesitated for a moment and said, "That celestial man said that he could sell us a large number of war horses..."
"War horses?" Li Jun's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Let him come in, no, please come in!" ”
War horses are indeed the weakness of the Pingyin army, and Li Juntai knows how much Jiang De has paid in order to collect war horses.
After a while, Mansur and Herrili were brought in, and Li Jun looked at the two of them and said to Mansour, "Who are you?" You say you can sell us a lot of war horses? ”
Mansur couldn't help but be surprised by Li Jun's eyes when he listened to Zhang Zhongsong's translation on the side, but if he knew that it was because Li Jun didn't have the right to buy and sell, he didn't know what his expression would be.
"Honorable lord, we can indeed bring a large number of war horses, but we also need enough profits." Mansour saluted Li Jun.
After Jiang De took Xingang, he tried to use maritime merchants to buy war horses in the Tianfang world, but the war horses in the Tianfang world are also valuable resources, although they are willing to sell, but it is difficult to buy them in large quantities, in fact, if the sea trade route can buy a large number of horses, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be so short of horses.
"How many horses can you bring us? What do you need? Li Jun said straight to the point: "Whether it is porcelain or tea, I will negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce to give you the best price." ”
Seeing Li Jun like this, Mansur was secretly proud in his heart, he saw those dwarf cavalry before, and guessed that the Esin people did not have good war horses, and he had also heard that because there was a big country called Khitan in the north of the Esin people, the Esin people had been short of war horses, but he didn't expect it to be so short.
"Lord Steward, although the porcelain is beautiful, it will not keep my family safe, and the tea will not bring peace to my tribe, although it is delicious, what I need is the god-like weapon in the hands of my lord."
"You mean artillery?" Li Jun didn't expect this celestial man to want to buy artillery, "Who the hell are you?" Ordinary businessmen don't think about buying such things. ”
"That's called artillery?" Mansour said the word that was a little tongue-twisting to him, and said with some anticipation, "I am a merchant, and there is a war going on in Europa at this time, and I believe that this weapon will be sold for a good price." ”
Mansur wasn't ready to reveal his identity, and although the odds were slim, who knows if there were any monotheists here.
Li Jun touched his beard and asked, "You said you could sell us a large number of war horses?" How many? ”
Mansur looked at Herrili, who pondered for a moment and said, "The first batch can have at least two hundred horses!" ”
Although two hundred horses may not seem like much, it is extremely difficult to think that this is transported from distant Africa, and the waves are raging all the way.
Egypt to Sriwijaya is not the same as the Wa Kingdom to Sriwijaya, the distance is several times different, and the war horses eat and drink Lazar on the sea ship, which is too much trouble than bringing people.
A few hundred years after the twelfth century, the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs was no more than a thousand horses.
"Two hundred? Okay, if you can really bring two hundred good horses, I will take you to see the Hou Ye. Li Jun promised.
Mansour excitedly agreed, he can't wait to go back now, and bring his war horse back to this mysterious east, artillery can shoot thousands of meters of weapons, it is really the best weapon for naval warfare.
After selling all the goods at a low price in the new port, Herri returned with the fleet, and the next time they came, they would exchange their horses for artillery.
"Boss, do you really want to sell artillery?" Tong Wei said worriedly: "Can Master Hou agree?" ”
Li Jun smiled: "I only promised to introduce them to them, but I didn't promise that Hou Ye would definitely sell them."
- Yanshan Mansion
A man dressed as a scribe seemed to be reading a book in the light of a candle, but his dull eyes betrayed him, and his mind was not on the book at all.
"Ahh
A few days ago, the Jin army suddenly approached Yanshan Mansion, clamoring for the Song State to hand over Zhang Jue, and the entire Yanshan Mansion was panicked, although in the end the Jin Army did not invade Yanshan Mansion, but the discerning people could see that the Jin Army was testing, once the Song State exposed the weak nature, then the war was in sight.
"Why is General Zhang sighing?" A person walked in and asked the scribe, who looked up and saw that it was Pharmacist Guo, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "It's General Guo, please take a seat." ”
After Guo Yaoshi took his seat, Zhang Juecai said, "The general of the defeated army, the country is ruined, how can you not be sad?"
Now that the Jin army is asking the Song State for me, although it has been prevaricated by Lord Wang, how can the Jin State give up?
I heard that Taiyuan is not very peaceful, but the Song State has not made any preparations for war, and I am worried that the Song State will also follow in the footsteps of the Liao State. ”
Guo Yaoshi nodded, he was also worried about this matter, he asked, "I now have 30,000 elite soldiers, plus the volunteer soldiers, it can be called 100,000, and there is the danger of Yanshan, can't I resist the Jin army?" ”
Zhang Jue said, "The general is planning but not brave, the soldiers are fine but not many, although the general has 100,000 soldiers and horses, but how many soldiers are good at fighting and daring to die?" ”
The problem Zhang Jue said was actually the problem of the entire Song army, the Song army at this time was no less than one million on paper, if you add the township soldiers or something, there could be two million, but it could really go to the battlefield to fight, not even one percent.
In fact, if the elite soldiers are simplified, as long as 200,000 elite soldiers can fight with the Jin army, but the 200,000 who can fight and the 800,000 who can't go to war go to the battlefield together, the result is often that 800,000 people flee with 200,000 people.
The 30,000 elite soldiers that Pharmacist Guo said are actually those who can line up on the battlefield, but those who are good at fighting are still those old people who complained about the army in the past, but only 10,000 people.
"General Guo, I heard that Jin Guo is begging me again? Or just hand me over, as long as General Guo can help me take care of my child, I will die without regrets. Zhang Jue said half-truthfully, he was really worried about Song Guo's ability to bear, and he was even more worried that Song Guo would send his whole family out in order to please Jin Guo, rather than this, it was better to die alone.
"Hey! What is General Zhang's words, General Zhang's battle at Rabbit Ear Mountain is well-known all over the world, and the official family also knows the general's bravery, and will inevitably protect the general. ”
"I hope so," Zhang Jue sighed.
At the same time as Zhang Jue and Guo Yaoshi were talking, in the palace of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Ji was also chanting Zhang Jue's name.
"Zhang Jue... Pingzhou... Jin Guo.." Zhao Ji followed the candlelight and looked at the map hanging on the wall.
Although the Western Xia withdrew because of the mediation of the Jin State, the weakness of the Song State was once again exposed in front of the Jin State, and the Jin State attacked Lingqiu and other places, although it did not kill the officials of the Song State, but it also gave the Song State a great shock to the government and the opposition.
Zhao Ji once again opened Tong Guan's recital, in which Tong Guan said that he had sent a messenger to see Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zonghan's meaning was also very clear, unless Zhang Jue and others were handed over, and promised not to hide the people who fled south, not only Lingqiu and other places would not be returned, but Datong would continue to attack.
Zhao Ji pressed his eyebrows, he really didn't fit into such a naked coercion of Jin Guo.
"Zhang Jue... Can't stay. ”
After recovering Yanyun, pacifying the civil strife, and expanding the territory in the northwest, he Zhao Ji now only hopes that he can spend his old age in peace and let himself leave the name of the lord of Zhongxing.
Although he is constantly testing the Jin Kingdom, he does not want to start a full-scale war with the Jin Kingdom.
Or that he was not ready for a full-scale war with the Jin State.

"The Jin army has crossed the border, and their cavalry has plundered several villages, General Guo, we really can't protect Zhang Jue anymore." Wang Anzhong said anxiously to Pharmacist Guo.
"Then let's kill someone and give it to him, the flesh and blood are blurred, who can recognize it?" Pharmacist Guo had already found a replacement for the dead ghost, but he was not in a hurry.
Wang Anzhong thought about the secret decree from Kaifeng and asked, "What if the Jin people recognize it?" ”
Guo Yaoshi thought for a while, and finally said firmly, "General Zhang's Rabbit Ear Mountain can defeat the Jin army, he is a general's talent, such a person is exactly what our Song State lacks, even if the Jin State recognizes it, as long as we argue strongly, we are not afraid." ”
Wang Anzhong looked at the ceiling and could only hope so.
There is an interesting law in later life called Murphy's Law, which is that if there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.
The substitute ghost found by Guo Yaoshi was indeed a pass in terms of appearance, and when the flesh-and-blood head was sent to Wanyan Zongwang and the others, he suddenly really thought it was Zhang Jue's head.
Wanyan Yan's mother kicked the head to the ground, let him roll around, and smiled arrogantly at the messenger who sent the head, "You Lord Wang are still sensible, where are there so many troublesome things like this." ”
Wanyan Zongwang closed his eyes and recited a mantra, then opened his eyes and said, "Okay, since Zhang Jue is dead, we will no longer pursue the matter of Song Guo's containment of Zhang Jue, you can step down." ”
The messenger hurriedly thanked and withdrew, and at this moment a general rushed in.
"Your Highness...."The man was about to speak, when he saw that the Song envoy was still there, so he made a look.
Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and asked the Song envoy to retreat before asking, "Wuyan Puluhun, are you in a hurry to come for something?" ”
Wuyan Puluhun arched his hand and said: "There is a Song general in Yizhou who led 500 people to surrender, saying that there is a big event to tell him. ”
"Song will vote in the future?" Wanyan Zongwang touched the Buddha and said hesitantly, "The Song State has just sent Zhang Jue's head, and we will contain the rebel generals of the Song Kingdom, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding." ”
Wanyan Yan's mother said indifferently, "Why should Your Highness think about the Song people, besides, ask him what the big thing is to tell him, and then see if he wants to take it in." ”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded, and asked people to bring the Song generals up, and after a while, a general wearing the armor of the Song army walked up, Wanyan Zongwang saw that this person looked powerful, and he still had some love in his heart, and asked, "Who are you?" Why vote? ”
When the general saw Yan Zongwang, he immediately bowed and said, "The sin general is Han Minyi, the commander of the Yizhou Changsheng Army, because he is dissatisfied with the persecution of Xin Zong, the prefect of Yizhou, and he has come to meet him." ”
Wanyan's mother shouted: "Vote empty-handed!" There must be fraud! ”
Han Minyi said unhurriedly, "Since you came to vote, how could you be empty-handed, I don't know if Your Highness can get Zhang Jue's head?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded, pointed to the corner and said, "It's right here." ”
Han Minyi didn't look at it, and laughed and said, "Your Highness has been tricked, that's not Zhang Jue's head, Zhang Jue is still in Guo Yaoshi's army at this time, fraudulently named Zhao Xiucai, and knows the military, at this time, I'm afraid he is drinking with Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi to celebrate His Royal Highness's retirement." ”
Wanyan Zongwang was furious, and he slapped the case and said angrily, "Is this serious? ”
Han Minyi arched his hand and said: "Who in the army doesn't know about this matter?" There are still people in Pingzhou who are familiar with Zhang Jue, and they can be called to Xixi to identify them. ”
Wanyan Yan's motherly wow shouted, "The Song people are so rude, Your Highness, let's go into the Yanshan Mansion and go find Zhang Jue by ourselves." ”
Wanyan Zongwang was also mad with anger, but reason still had the upper hand in his brain.
"Send someone to carefully identify the head first, and then talk about anything else!"
After a while, the identification results came out, and when he learned that it was indeed not Zhang Jue's head, Wanyan Zong was eager to send troops to Yanshan Mansion on the spot to ask for an explanation.
However, Yanshan Mansion was the former Liao State of Nanjing, with high walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Jin State was not ready for a full-scale war with the Song State.
Wanyan Zongwang suppressed his anger and sent someone to beg Zhang Jue again, and also named Zhang Jue to say that Zhang Jue was in Guo Yaoshi's army, and asked that Zhang Jue's two sons also be sent to the Jin Kingdom.
After Wanyan Zongwang sent someone away, he asked Han Minyi about the military situation of Chang Shengjun, Han Minyi naturally knew everything, and Wanyan Zongwang also understood the situation of Chang Shengjun. Of course, when asking about the loyalty of the army to the Song State, Han Minyi smiled and said, "Most of the generals in the Changsheng Army are old people who complained about the army in the past, since Wang Anzhong came, the Changsheng Army in many places has been squeezed out by the local civilian officials, although General Guo is still loyal to the Song State, but the brothers below feel that the Song State does not regard us as their own people." ”
Zhao Ji wants to hear this sentence here, he has to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, for the sake of a possible war, he has given the entire Yanshan Mansion to the Chang Shengjun against public opinion, if this is changed to his ancestor, it will either be a cup of poisonous wine or drunk and thrown to the local lord in the countryside.
"I also admire General Guo's talent, can he be used by me?" Wanyan Zongwang asked.
Han Minyi thought for a moment and said, "If Zhang Jue is abandoned by the Song State, the victorious army will inevitably die and be sad, if His Royal Highness can guarantee the interests of the victorious army, I think General Guo is willing to consider it." ”
To put it bluntly, the Chang Sheng Army is a warlord army at this time, and Guo Yaoshi represents the interests of the Chang Sheng Army, if the Chang Sheng Army will be abandoned by the Song State at any time, then it is not difficult to abandon the Song State.
- Yanshan Mansion
Guo Yaoshi looked at Zhang Jue's father and son, who were pressed by the sergeant, with red eyes, and said to Wang Anzhong on the side again, "Is there no other way?" ”
Wang Anzhong also lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Jue not far away, and said, "The Jin people know General Zhang's pseudonym, what else can I do?" ”
Guo Yaoshi patted his chest, pointed at Zhang Jue and said, "General Zhang has the talent of a general, you can't give it up like this, if the adults are afraid of the Jin people, I am willing to lead the army to fight!" ”
"General Guo! The Jin people have been prepared for a long time, and now we are doing a helpless move, and when our army is ready in the future, we will avenge General Zhang! Wang Anzhong had already received Zhao Ji's will, so naturally he would not agree.
Zhang Jue was tied up by five flowers, he looked at Pharmacist Guo who was arguing in the distance, bowed his head and smiled, no matter what the reason, Pharmacist Guo was worthy of him, he raised his head and shouted loudly to Pharmacist Guo, "General Guo, Zhang has taken a step first, I hope General Guo can step on the Huanglong Mansion in the future and avenge me!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Jue no longer looked at Pharmacist Guo, and said to the two sons on the left and right, "Today's martyrdom, can you resentfully be your father?" ”
The two sons glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "The country is ruined, what is there to complain about now?" ”
Zhang Jue and his second son were escorted to the Jin Kingdom, Guo Yaoshi looked at Zhang Jue's prisoner car with red eyes, he kept recalling the scene when Zhang Jue was in the army and analyzed with him how to defeat the possible invading Jin army, only to feel chills, he looked at Wang Anzhong, gritted his teeth and asked, "Lord Wang, if the Jin people come to the court to ask for Guo in the future, will this be the end?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Anzhong couldn't help but take a step back, he looked at Pharmacist Guo like a demon, and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't speak.
Guo Yaoshi didn't wait for him to speak, turned his head and left with the sergeant, Wang Anzhong's face was pale, and he returned to the mansion to toss and turn, and wrote overnight to say that he was sick and asked to be transferred out of Yanshan Mansion.
- Pingzhou
Outside Pingzhou City, the heads of Zhang Jue's father and son were hung high on the city gate, Wanyan Yan's mother looked at the three heads, recalled their rabbit ear mountain, and only felt a bad breath in her heart.
Wanyan Zongwang didn't look at the three heads, but looked to the south, and had already informed him of the conflict between Guo Yaoshi and Wang Anzhong in the dark of Yanshan Mansion, and he had just sent someone to Yanshan Mansion, hoping to have a good result.
Zhang Jue's death did not ease the contradiction between Song and Jin, but let the Jin State once again see the weakness of the Song State, Zhang Jue was the anti-Jin banner in the old Liao people, as soon as he died, only Yelu Dashi, who was far away in the Western Regions, was still fighting against Jin under the banner of Liao, and many Liao people who fled to Song State hated and feared Song State because of this matter, in their hearts, Jin State defeated Liao State in a dignified manner, but Song State betrayed Liao State, in comparison, Song State is even more hateful.
In the previous Liao-Jin War, there were a large number of Liao nobles and daughters who were robbed as wives and concubines by the Jin nobles, of course, many people also died under the torture of the Jin people, but just like the later Song dynasty, there were also many Liao nobles who survived, and even some fled to the people.
The Khitan nation has a tradition of women in power, and the nobles of the Liao State are also used to participating in politics.
Among the nobles of the Liao State, the six daughters of Emperor Tianzuo are the most noble, among which Yelu Yu Liyan was named the princess of Shu, and the only one of the six who has a princess number, unlike history, he was not captured by the Jin State, but hid in the people, originally planned to flee to the northwest to join Yelu Yanxi, but did not expect Yelu Yanxi to be captured alive, so he simply lurked in a village outside Huining Mansion, hoping to find a way to rescue his family, of course, it would be better if he could restore the country.
Zhang Jue's death soon spread to Huining Mansion, and Yelu Yu Liyan immediately felt that it was an opportunity to find a few nobles of the Liao Kingdom that he trusted, gather secretly, and blow the wind to the magnates of the Jin State, hoping that the Jin State and the Song State would go to war, so that he could fish in troubled waters.
In the later Jingkang Change, the role played by these old people of the Liao State was unimaginable to later generations.
At this time, a letter appeared in Wu Qimai's hand, which was written by Liu Yanzong, and Wanyan Zongwang signed it, representing the will of Wanyan Zongwang's family.
In the compromise, the truth of Yanshan Mansion was exhausted, and finally there was a saying, "The Song people do not return the household registration, and they hear that the army is governed in Yanshan, and if they don't do it first, they may be troubled in the future." ”
Then, Wanyan Zonghan wrote another letter saying that the Song army in the northwest was increasing, and he hoped that the imperial court would prepare as soon as possible.
Wu Qimai held a court meeting to discuss this matter, and the ministers of the court and China all said that the Song people had no faith and could be cut down, so Wu Qimai gathered the army and prepared for war.
War is always the best opportunity to shuffle the cards.

Looking at the three Buddha captives who were escorted here, Jiang De didn't have any good looks to show them, but after all, he had to work, and he couldn't die, so the food was still enough, but it was hard to say whether he was still alive after two or three years of work.
Laogai is not a place to take a vacation.
The captives also knew their situation, and they could be released after serving three years, and in the language of correction, they were just following orders, which was not a serious crime.
Jiang De also knew the news of Zhang Jue's killing, and he understood better than everyone in the Song Kingdom what kind of signal this was, Zhang Jue's death would trigger the rebellion of Guo Yaoshi, and it would also trigger the greed of the Jin State towards the Song State.
The temptations in the northwest and northeast exposed the weakness of the Song State, and the Liao people who had defected to the Song State continued to flee, and these Liao people often informed the Jin State of the Song State information, so the Jin State would later rampage without scruples.
In this era, the nation is inferior to the country, and no one has a position to say that these Liao people are not fugitives, after all, they no longer have a country, and it is their freedom to defect to anyone.
During this period, the Military Commission was very diligent, and both logistics and intelligence began to be fully integrated and prepared for war.
At such a busy time, Jiang De is willing to see Li Qingzhao, which really gives everyone a full face.
"Li Jushi, I don't know what advice I have for coming to Liangshan this time?" Anyway, he knows his identity, and Jiang De is no longer secretive.
Li Qingzhao looked at Jiang De with some complexity, but when he thought of the husband at home who was begging for him, he still said, "Please also ask the Hou Ye to let the husband leave Zizhou." ”
Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng is the prefect of Zizhou at this time, as an important city in Shandong, Jiang De will naturally not let go of the opportunity to secretly master him, one hand of mountain bandits, one hand of money, many positions in Zizhou have been secretly mastered by Jiang De, as the prefect of Zhao Mingcheng's days can be imagined.
As for letting Zhao Mingcheng return to obedience, Jiang De still doesn't have that confidence.
"Layman, you should also understand the current situation, the chaos in the world will be within this year or two, and Lord Zhao is the safest under the protection of my Pingyin army." Jiang De persuaded, on the one hand, he really didn't want Li Qingzhao, a strange woman, to suffer from the war, and on the other hand, Zhao Mingcheng was weak by nature and easy to control, and it was too risky to change people at this juncture.
"Hou Ye's kindness, we naturally know, but my husband and I are just literati and don't want to get into disputes, and my mother-in-law recently reported in Jiangning Mansion that she is unwell and needs to be taken care of." Li Qingzhao fought again.
"Jiangnan's No. 1 doctor An Daoquan has been invited to Liangshan by me, if this is the case, I will send someone to Jiangning Mansion to treat your mother-in-law." Jiang De said with a smile.
Li Qingzhao said for a while, and saw that Jiang De just wouldn't let go, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Jiang De sent Li Qingzhao away, returned to the conference room and drank tea by himself, time passed little by little, more and more people discovered the infiltration of Liangshan, at this time Jiang De extremely hoped that Jingkangzhi would come soon, otherwise, he really didn't know if there would be a duel between the Pingyin army and the official army.
After all, the Song Dynasty was famous for its internal precautions.
It didn't take long for Jiang De's expectations to come true.
Xuanhe 6th October Huining Mansion
October in Hoeryeong Province can already make people wear fur coats, but no matter how cold the weather is, it doesn't have the sharpness of a sword to make people feel cold.
Groups of Jin troops stood straight on the martial arts field, these were the elites selected from various armies, and they were the basis for the Jin country's southern and northern wars.
Wu Qimai stood on the high platform and looked down, only feeling ambitious.
Wu Qimai took the sacrificial text sent by the person on the side, and read it aloud, "In the past, the Liao country was in decline, and it was born and faint, and he was the head of the army, and he started the provocation first. The imperial court raised the righteous teacher, Fengtian cut down the crime, the Song people, the floating sea plan, and waited for the annexation of the Liao State, willing to cut the You, Yan, and the golden rope for the year, and the same routine. The first emperor had a guest as a virtue, and Jiaqi's intention was to ignore it and respond immediately. Then the whole Yan is down, cut it as promised, it is not too much for the faith, so to heaven and earth, quality to the gods, is to make an oath, thieves flee, no order to stop, no espionage, to lure the border people, so that the descendants of the heirs, keep and do not lose. The Song people were greedy and insatiable, they were treacherous, they forgot the righteousness of the previous Shi, and they were plotting to be lucky, desecrating the oath, structuring sinners, making the plot wrong, according to the Beijing for rebellion, the thief killed the minister, invited back the household registration, took the official rank, and ordered the land, still showed the edict, stole the edict, and then made the land of Gyeonggi Ju as a coward. Only the heavenly soldiers are on the way, the leader is dead, and he is introduced, and he is protected by each other, and his name is changed and he is awarded an official title. As for the recourse, it is rumored that the false head is not only killing the innocent, but also the guilty, which is not shameful to see. The court is tolerant and does not show its evil, but warns the border ministers, outside the household registration, there is no reason, so it will be happy for a long time. He was still decorated with false words, and in the end he was concealed, but he still recruited to flee, disturbed the inhabitants, and made thieves haunt and trouble, and all the years of tribute were more sorrowful, and he betrayed Enmoss very much! The court is not to blame, according to the previous urging, still do not listen, saying that the territory of this dynasty is thousands of miles, the people are scattered, if you do the root of the investigation, it is difficult to point out whether there is or not, the situation has been in the past, please don't think about it. According to his misguided words, he is involved in exaggeration, and as for the writing in this realm, he dares to criticize the court and insult him. Although he was tired of moving the text, he changed it, but he finally didn't understand it, and he was reckless. It is also a summer platform, but it is only a feudal auxiliary, sincere dedication, and the people of the Song Dynasty suddenly raised a nameless crowd and carried out intrusions. Because of his aid, he surrendered the decree of the court, moved the peace, and restored the territory, but still resigned wildly, not as a response, and the anti-Yunxia people paid money, and Qu had a request. Dajin Fang Wu grace to the country of the first annex, and is not without twists, Gu Xing obedient, both out of a moment of private grace, painting and Xia people, then Dajin obedience to the Xia people has been Zhouzhi, since now do not bother to intervene, since when the Tao is located, and the court Fang Longen made, under the Hun group, the two countries, each by its gifts, and the place, cut in me, willing to private songs, thought to be thoughtful, how can it be deceitful, ignorant of the truth, not for the sake of the same? Si Zefei did not stop the invasion of the Lingxia Kingdom, and he was not afraid of the imperial court, so the imperial court was guilty. Gai Wengu is cautious of the soldiers, the soldiers are nameless, not the three generations of benevolence and righteousness, its or the battle is obedient and rebellious, with a straight plus song, the king of the soldiers, on the contrary, it is very meaningless. Today, he was ordered to rejuvenate the division and ask for the guilt, since Nanjing in the east, and the Xia army in the west. In addition, Zhao Jiyue from the mansion, harboring evil intentions, the power of the false yellow door, the thief of his grave, the thief as the head of state, so it is disgusting, day by day, comatose and irreverent, insulting self-sage, said that there is a mandate of heaven, said to be cruel and harmless, when the day of his invasion of Liao, the officials and soldiers have rebels, or to be disabled, all of which are not what I want, and it is his own quick defeat. Or there are people who raise cities and towns, and return the money to the ministry with military service, the former officials are the same as before, and they are generously cared for, and their achievements are established, and they are not hired, and the residents are exempted from forced labor, and the punishment is light, and each has his own business. Xibina Pingshan is Tu My Territory, and now the Biansong Dynasty is Tu Bi Land, and the so-called people who are out of the same way are also anti-Er. If Zhao Ji deeply regrets his past wrongs and obeys orders, then although there is no cloud outside, and he does not have a deep plan, he stops at the Yellow River as the boundary, and talks about the reason for the rebellion, because he knows that since the Yellow River, they are all our people. What the doctor already has, Anken destroys himself? Thinking of the country where its people live without a way, the troubles and heavy battles have never been for a long time, and the situation has been emasculated to merit and happy events, and in recent years, suffering from flying and pulling, displacing from the road, and having a bad life, if you don't tell it in advance, you will be confused in the meantime, and you will be caught in a crusade, and you must discuss the command. ”
After reading the sacrificial text, Wu Qimai ordered it to be passed on to the world, and Wan Yan Xian was also the marshal of the capital, sitting in the capital, and commanding the overall situation with Wu Qimai.
He also ordered Wanyan Zongwang to be the right deputy marshal of the East Road, set up troops in Nanjing, attacked Yanshan Mansion, and Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Chang, Liu Yanzong, etc. were assisted, raising 60,000 troops.
Ordered Yan Zonghan to be the left deputy marshal of the West Road, raised troops in Xijing, attacked Taiyuan Mansion, finished Yan Yinshuke, finished Yan Lou Room, finished Yan Xiyin as a general, Gao Qingyi, Shi Liai as a minister, raised 60,000 troops.
There are other soldiers and horses, which are supplemented by two roads in turn, and a total of 150,000 soldiers are expected to be launched, plus about 230,000 people, and 500,000 are falsely claimed, and Keri will march into the army.
The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist.
Except for the elite standing in the hands of a few generals, the Jin army all brought their own weapons, and the entire Jin country could see the samurai who brought their own war horses and blades to the assembly.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed Jiang De's shadow buried in the Jin Kingdom, and almost at the same time, twenty or thirty flying pigeons flew towards Liangshan.
But the funny thing is that Jin Guodu has already decided to go to war, but Song Guo has no idea, and even Tong Guan is still in Taiyuan ready to discuss with Wanyan Zonghan again about the return of Lingqiu and other places.
Ma Kuo, who was sent to Datong, was suddenly asked to drink by Sarim, who received him, and looking at the table full of wine and food, Ma Kuo felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Sarim grinned and said, "Come on, this is the last time I will entertain you like this, and the next time we meet, I don't know when it will be." ”
Ma Kuo is a smart man, he figured out a lot of things in an instant, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave, but saw two golden soldiers blocking outside.
"You're going to war with us?" Ma Kuo asked in disbelief.
"Isn't there already a war? Are your Lingqiu and other places still under the banner of the Song Kingdom? Sarim took a sip of wine and said with a grin.
Ma Kuo sat down in a daze, and muttered, "Why is it here, why is it here..."
With the Jin State's more than 100,000 troops set foot on the territory of the Song State, the entire East Asia is about to usher in a bloody storm, and countless people will be swallowed up or reborn in this storm.
War... Here we go.
