Carrying a long bloody knife, Ge Yuzhi Naye stepped forward to pick up Xiang Mu Tou's head.

This scene happened so fast that the handsome man just laughed a few times before his head fell to the ground.

The generals behind him were stunned, and when they reacted and wanted to draw their swords, they heard the messenger shout: "If there are those who dare to resist, Xiang Qi Mutou will be the end!" ”

When everyone saw the separation of the body of the great handsome, where did they dare to move, they had to let go of the hand that grabbed the handle of the sword, and stood in place in fear, waiting for the messenger's command.

The guards of the Shuaifu, who confronted the Black Armor Army, saw that the big marshal was dead, so they retreated one after another and put down the blades in their hands.

The messenger said, "Very well. From now on, the power to command the troops will be temporarily held by the envoy. As the coach, Xiang Mu Tou has been in charge of all the border affairs over the years, and he has also borne the blame, he has now been killed, and the responsibility has been settled, and it has nothing to do with everyone. The positions of the generals remain unchanged, and each will be rewarded with platinum! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Ge Zhi Naye was the first to give thanks.

The other generals saw that the commander was dead, no one dared to resist, and the military power was returned to the messenger, and their military positions remained unchanged, and they were rewarded with a hundred gold, how could there be no reason not to be grateful. Immediately, they thanked each other: "Thank you, Lord for the reward!" ”

The envoy pointed to Ge Zhinaye and said, "Who are you and what military position do you hold?" ”

Ge Zhi Naye replied: "Lord Hui, the last general Ge Zhi Naye is still a general on duty. ”

The envoy nodded and said, "Okay, know the current affairs, have the courage, and wait for the envoy to present the king, and reward another." From this day forward, you will manage military affairs with the Envoy. ”

Ge Zhi Naye knelt down on his knees and replied: "Thank you for your promotion, Ge Zhi Naye is willing to serve your life for your lord and the king!" ”

With an order, the Black Armor Army quickly took over the Shuaifu, and the envoy took back his military power and began to rectify military affairs.

"Report! A large army has appeared outside the city! There were no less than 2,000 people. ”

As soon as the envoy sat down, he heard the herald come in to report the military situation, and he was a little apprehensive, the Annan people had returned? Probably not.

"Is it from Annam?"

"No, their banners and armor are different from those of the Annanes."

"Let's find out and report back." The envoy immediately breathed a sigh of relief, since he was not from Annam, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The herald was ordered to quickly withdraw from the marshal's mansion and return to the city to report to the general.

Outside the city, in front of the Xuanwei army of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Mr. Zhang, when are we going to enter the city?" After waiting for more than half an hour, seeing the defenders in the city in the distance, Yang Congyi had to ask.

They had been outside the city for many days, and they had to enter the city at once, rush to the capital of the city to join Master Dai, and then they had to consider going south to the Srivijaya Kingdom and chasing back to the Yi fleet. More than a month has passed, and if all goes well, the fleet should have reached the country of Srivijaya by now.

Mr. Zhang looked at the city in front of him and replied, "Lord Yang is not in a hurry, we will be able to enter the city in half a day." I'll go to the city and report it. ”

Yang Congyi said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't worry about your safety if you go alone, if the defenders are nervous for a while and miss and hurt you, it will be troublesome." Zhang Daochang, please accompany Mr. Zhang. ”

Mr. Zhang said: "Lord Yang, you have too much heart, Zhang is not a person who does not believe in his words. ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Mr. Zhang is too careful, purely for your safety." Go early and come back early, Yang is waiting for your good news. ”

Mr. Zhang shook his head lightly and walked towards the city with his feet raised.

Zhang Liu walked a few steps briskly and followed.

Mr. Zhang approached the city all the way, and when he was about two hundred paces, he stopped and shouted to the city.

The defenders were worried that they could not make contact with the troops outside the city, and they did not know where they came from, so they happened to see someone from the opposite side.

The two sides communicated smoothly, and soon the defenders of the city knew that the army outside the city was the escort of the Great Song Dynasty envoys, and they were going to the national capital Vijaya to join the Great Song envoys, hoping to go south through the city pass.

Mr. Zhang revealed his identity to the defenders, and asked the defenders to go back to the marshal's mansion to inform Commander Xiang Mutou that he had something important to go back to the city to discuss.

However, the defenders told him that Shoyu Mutou had been slain by the messenger of Vijaya, and that the messenger had the final say in the city, and that he had to wait for the messenger to summon him whatever was important.

Although Mr. Zhang couldn't enter the city, when he heard that Xiang Qi Mutou was killed by the messenger, he was overjoyed in his heart, and his plan was successful! Lord Jayahalibama should have succeeded in seizing power and ascending to the throne!

Zhang Liu saw that Mr. Zhang's expression was excited, not like angry, but more like ecstasy, and he immediately asked, "Mr. Zhang, what did the defenders tell you to make you so happy?" ”

Mr. Zhang hurriedly gathered his heart and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you are expected to enter the city and go south, Zhang can fulfill his promise and not lose his trust in others, so he is naturally happy." ”

Zhang Liu glanced at him and listened to what he said unclear, but it was inconvenient to continue to ask. But if he wants to make a small move, he will be arrested at once.

Not long after the two waited in the city, news came from the city that Mr. Zhang was allowed to enter the city to discuss important matters.

Mr. Zhang said: "Zhang has something important to go to the city to discuss, do you want to go into the city with me?" ”

Zhang Liu stretched out his hand and put his shoulder on the shoulder: "Mr. Zhang, Lord Yang didn't let you enter the city, just say something here, otherwise go back with me." ”

Mr. Zhang's face changed, and a trace of pain appeared on his face, only to hear him reply: "I am going back to the city to discuss the important matter of the Great Song Dynasty army entering the city to pass the customs, how to explain it clearly here." ”

Zhang Liu's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "If you can't say it, then don't say it, go back with me to see Lord Yang." ”

Seeing that Zhang Liu was unmoved, Mr. Zhang had to say, "Wait first, I'll discuss with them." ”

Then Mr. Zhang communicated with the general in the city again, and Zhang Liu couldn't understand what he said, so he naturally wouldn't know.

Before the two returned to the battle, Mr. Zhang told Yang Congyi that the boss in the city had been killed, their task had been completed, and they could fully fulfill their promise to let them enter the city to clear customs, but the specific details of the customs clearance of the Great Song Dynasty still needed to be discussed, and it had been agreed with them that they would discuss the details under the city in half an hour.

What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, that is, now that the people of Zhancheng have opened the city gate, Yang Congyi does not dare to lead the army directly into the city. Zhancheng has never gone to Lin'an to pay tribute, who knows if there will be ignorant people, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick to provoke the Xuanwei army of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is a conflict with the Zhancheng country, how things will develop, it is really unimaginable.

Zhang Liu couldn't understand the language of Zhancheng, and of course Yang Congyi couldn't understand it, so he immediately asked Zhang Biao to find a sergeant who understood the language of Zhancheng in the Xuanwei army to act as an interpreter, so as not to understand what they were talking about when they met, and it would be bad if they dug a pit.

Annam and Champa are the subject countries, and it is not difficult to find people who can speak Champa among the attached Annamite people.

An hour later, Yang Congyi led more than 10 people, accompanied by Mr. Zhang, to stop about 400 steps under the city, and met with the people of the city to discuss the matter of the Great Song Dynasty envoys escorting the army to the south.

Mr. Zhang and the messenger already knew each other, and the two had to have a greeting when they met, and they did not shy away from it in front of Yang Congyi and others.

Through sporadic words, Yang Congyi understood the purpose of Mr. Zhang's original negotiation with him and let him hold the border guards for three days. It turned out that they planned a coup d'état to seize power in the national capital, and the commander of the border army was the henchman of the king of Champa, only when a war broke out on the border and dragged them to the border, they had a greater grasp of the coup d'état launched in the national capital, fortunately they succeeded in the coup, and now the commander of the border army has been killed, and the political situation has gradually stabilized.

Mr. Zhang's plan is not small, no wonder he agreed to set aside a place for the left-behind people of the Great Song Dynasty to live in, it seems that it was the right time, just a good time.

But it is also possible that they originally wanted to pull the Great Song Dynasty into the water, but when you think about it, you think it is impossible, planning a coup d'état is not possible in three or five days, it should be the Great Song Dynasty envoys to occupy the city, just in time for them to launch a coup d'état, they learned that the Great Song Dynasty envoys escorted the army at the border, so they had the idea of using it.

Regardless of their purpose, as long as the Xuanwei army can go south to join Master Dai, it doesn't matter to him.

After the greetings, Yang Congyi began to discuss with Mr. Zhang and the envoy about the southward clearance.

But the envoy insisted that foreign troops were not allowed to enter the territory of the Champa State, and that every soldier was one at a time, let alone an army of more than 2,000 men.

As soon as Yang Congyi heard this, he immediately asked Mr. Zhang if he wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, break his word and get fat. But since it is a consultation, we can't make the atmosphere of the negotiation too stiff, otherwise we will clear the customs, and we will have to let people dig a pit and make a stumbling block.

Therefore, Yang Congyi began to reason, and told the envoy about the Great Song Dynasty envoy escort taking the initiative to help drag the border defenders, and bluntly said that the Great Song Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, if the Zhancheng State gives convenience to the Great Song Dynasty, the benefits that can be obtained in the future are unlimited.

The coup was successful, Mr. Zhang contained 50,000 border defenders, and the credit was not small, at this time he naturally had to speak, because the Great Song Dynasty envoy escort was the force he had used, if he did not recognize the credit of the Great Song army, where did his credit come from? After all, he has been tied to the Great Song army.

Mr. Zhang is worthy of being a person who has been in the city for a long time, and he has a lot of face, and he communicated with the envoy for a while, and then the matter of the Great Song army going south was determined.

However, the envoy made a request, when the customs were cleared, the Great Song army must leave the city within an hour, and must not stay in any city, and can only be stationed ten miles outside the city when they arrive at the national capital, and are not allowed to enter the city.

Yang Congyi had no ambition in the first place, he had no intention of participating in the internal affairs of the city, there were many rights and wrongs in the city, even if the people of the city did not say it, he would not allow the Xuanwei army to stay in the city. Therefore, of course, he had no objection to the demands of the Cham people and agreed directly.

But he also demanded that Mr. Zhang stay in the army and go with them to the national capital Vijaya before leaving.

Mr. Zhang happened to be returning to the national capital, and the envoy naturally agreed, with Mr. Zhang accompanying him in the army, the movements of the Great Song army could be grasped more clearly, which was of course a good thing for them.

In a short time, the two sides will agree on all matters related to customs clearance and crossing the city.

An hour later, Yang Congyi, accompanied by Mr. Zhang, led 2,000 Xuanwei troops into the city smoothly and cleared the south.
