Chapter 360: Offering Prisoners (16)

Previous Chapter

Wei Sheng didn't finish speaking, and saw Zheng Shuang frowning and staring at his face; Wei Sheng stared at Zheng Shuang and didn't know what was going on!

Zheng Shuang felt that he was a little out of shape, and quickly reacted: "The 10 brothers led by Wei Sheng and Brother Wei Chun have completed the task very well, and they have rushed back and forth from Taihang Mountain to Bianjing so quickly; Since the Holy Lord has arranged and deployed the Great Driving Book, then we have to take it seriously! ”

After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "But what this commander can't rest assured about is the battle in the north of General Wei, and our army is only 10,000 when it is full; Xiao Xuan and Yelu Longxu are 200,000! ”

After pondering for a moment, he said thoughtfully: "If this commander is not wrong, Old General Wei, Old General Xue, and Leng Bingshuang are using the terrain to deal with Xiao Xuan's Liao army!" ”

Stretching his neck and throat, he said: "Yesterday, Ben Shuai has arranged for Wu Wei, Lang Zhen, Ba Si, and Hou Fang's Flying Dragon Army, Flying Eagle Army, Flying Bear Army, and Flying Leopard Army to rush to the aid of General Wei, but I don't know what the battle situation is!" ”

When Wei Sheng heard Zheng Shuang say this, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "The marshal's intention is to let our brothers rush to the ancestor to inquire about the military situation and repay you?" ”

"That's exactly what Ben Shuai meant!" Zheng Shuang said bluntly: "After all, our troops are inferior to the Liao army!" ”

Qin Shi Huang interjected: "When Zheng Zi said this, the old man also came to his mind, we were able to capture Xiao Tzurin's Sini Iron Cavalry in Taihang Mountain, because our army was superior in numbers, and we used beauty tricks and tricks to lure snakes out of holes; Although Xiao Tzu Rin's Sini Iron Cavalry is a heavily armored horse, the number of horsemen is only 300 after all, and it is reasonable for us to be captured alive! ”

Zheng Shuang listened to Qin Shi Huang's serious speech, turned to him and stared, "Grandpa Shadow means ......"

Qin Shi Huang interrupted Zheng Shuang's words: "According to the old man's opinion, press the fire gun battalion, the bow team, and the catapult to use the terrain to snipe the enemy!" ”

Zheng Shuang said happily: "Grandpa Shadow's idea is ......."

Zheng Shuang wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Qin Shi Huang's chattering words: "It's the middle of summer in June, not the season for the Liao army to attack; But Xiao Xuan, the thief lady, had the audacity to come to an anti-seasonal march, and let 300 heavy armored cavalry take the lead; Xiao Xuanman thought that the 300 heavy armored cavalry was unstoppable, and the club was invincible; I didn't think that we had already captured it, and the heavy armor had turned into a pile of scrap metal! ”

After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he said impassionedly: "Marshal Zheng Shuang, the old man asks for help; led the fire battalion, the crossbow team, and the stone throwers to support Wei Yan and Xue Shisan, and they were already about to beat Xiao Xuan's 200,000 troops back to their hometown! ”

"Grandpa Shadow, you can't go!" Zheng Shuang said succinctly: "Let Wei Sheng and Wei Chun lead the fire battalion, the crossbow team and the stone throwers to support the old general Wei, you have to go to Beijing with Xiao Ke to offer prisoners!" ”

Qin Shi Huang was stunned and turned his head in a big circle in the Lang Pavilion of his neck; Look at Zheng Shuang, there are a lot of Wei Sheng, Wei Chun and the other 8 heralds are silent.

Zheng Shuang calmed down and said to Wei Sheng and Wei Chun: "Wei Sheng and Wei Chun, the two of you will rush to Liyang County to support General Wei with the fire battalion, the crossbow team, and the stone throwers."

After a pause, he turned to the 8 soldiers who rushed back to the capital with Wei Sheng and Wei Chun to report the news: "These 8 Fei brothers stay by Ben Shuai's side and obey orders!" ”

Wei Sheng and Wei Chun saw Zheng Shuang say this, and after giving thanks, they led the fire battalion, the crossbow team, and the stone throwers to leave.

After Qin Shi Huang saw Wei Sheng and Wei Chun lead the fire battalion, the crossbow team, and the stone throwers away, he sighed and said, "Zheng Zi, you deliberately sent Wei Sheng and Wei Chun away?" ”

Zheng Shuang smiled and said, "Grandpa Shadow, you are not wrong!" Wei Sheng and Wei Chun are men with strong blood, once they know that Zheng Zi will release Xiao Tzu Rin, he will definitely be as anxious as Mrs. Sun; In this case, it is better to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle and let them follow General Wei! ”

Qin Shi Huang laughed loudly and said, "There are many channels in the little boy's mind, it seems that you want to release Xiao Tzu Rin with an iron heart, right?" ”

Zheng Shuang glanced back at Qin Shi Huang and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shadow, are you knowingly asking?" Let me tell you, Xue Jin'er was the first woman Zheng Zi met after coming to the Song Dynasty; Her kind of kind of is a little rude, a little infatuated, and her smart and wise style has already impressed Xiao Ke! Xiao Ke released Xiao Tart Rin for Xue Jin'er! ”

"It seems that Zheng Zi, you are infatuated with Xue Jin'er, but I heard that you are still in love with Xue Yuyang; Xue Yuyang is the daughter of Xue Shisan and Chun Yu Wanyun, she is Xue Jin'er's aunt, are you ...... kid doing this" Qin Shi Huang didn't say the latter words, he looked forward, and saw that the front troops escorting the 293 captives had already gone up to the Baimajin pontoon bridge! Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "Zheng Zi, since you have made up your mind to release Xiao Tzurin, then don't let him cross the Yellow River; I'll leave it here."

Zheng Shuang frowned and said: "Grandpa Shadow, if Xiao Tart Rin is released here, then we can only pick a gourd, and if we escort it back to Bianjing to stage another scene, release it; In order to hold the big watermelon! This is also Zheng Zi's intention to leave his shadow grandfather to return to the capital together! ”

Qin Shi Huang stared at Zheng Shuang in a daze, and said in a daze: "You want to hold a big watermelon?" ”

Zheng Shuang sneered and said, "Grandpa Shadow is the first emperor of the ages, and when you were the emperor, other countries did not have envoys stationed in Qin; That is, the ambassador that the later generations will say? ”

"That's a lot of going, before Qin unified the Six Kingdoms; The six countries all have post houses in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and the post houses are inhabited by the envoys of the six countries all year round; It has been an old rule since ancient times to keep in touch with their king at all times; There is also a term in the army: two armies do not kill each other! ”

"That's right!" Zheng Shuang said happily: "After the 293 captives crossed the Yellow River, Zheng Zi took the first step, and only took the 8 soldiers who returned to the capital to deliver the letter just now; escort Xiao Tzu Rin to find a tavern to drink, if the envoys of the Liao State stationed in Bianjing can see that he is captured and drink with the marshal of the Song army; That is the superior strategy of a soldier who surrenders without a fight; It doesn't take much effort on our part, and the Liao envoys will spread the news to the Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu; In this case, Xiao Tzu Rin will achieve twice the result with half the effort when he releases it back! ”

Qin Shi Huang laughed, glanced back at Zheng Shuang and said: "Ganluo Twelve is the prime minister, and he is not old in his life; The old man would never have thought of what Zheng Zi was planning, it was really terrifying! ”

Qin Shi Huang said and said a little worriedly: "Zheng Zi's arrangement to drink with Xiao Tzu Rin is the cornerstone of inspiring him to engage in civil strife after he goes back, the problem is that this does not seem to be conducive to Miss Jin'er!" ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "If Xiao Tzu Rin changes his mind after returning to the Liao Kingdom and does not redeem Miss Jin'er from the Wuguli tribe, then aren't we a bamboo basket for water?" ”

Zheng Shuang laughed and said: "Zheng Zi has thought about this question for a long time, although Xiao Tzulin is our enemy, he is still a gentleman; Since he is a gentleman, he will not break his promise, although Grandpa Shadow is relieved......"

After Zheng Shuang finished saying this, he shouted to Qin Shi Huang: "Grandpa Shadow, let's go forward!" ”

Sun Jincao, Ye Lingfang, Shi Lidan, and Renduo Xuelian rode horses to the front of the escort captives, and were about to go to the Baimajin pontoon bridge; Seeing Zheng Shuang and Qin Shi Huang and his entourage, they rode horses and chased after them.

Zheng Shuang came to Sun Jincao and said, "Mrs. Sun and the other three ladies, from now on, all the affairs of the escort team will be managed by Grandpa Shadow!" ”

After a pause, he raised his arm and said: "Wei Sheng, Wei Chun and a group of ten people have gone to Tokyo to report that they have returned, and Emperor Zhenzong has ordered the three provinces and six departments to hold a grand ceremony to welcome us in the capital!"

"The route of the emperor's walk is: the huge honor guard starts from the Yishu Garden in the new sour jujube gate, goes to the outer city, enters the inner city, and then enters the palace city; Jinglong Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Xihua Gate, Donghua Gate, and Danfeng Gate pass through one by one, and then go out of the palace city from Danfeng Gate and advance along the Royal Street; After the Great Xiangguo Temple, the State Bridge, and the Guozi Eunuch, he came out of the Suzaku Gate to the outer city; After passing through the outer city, go out of Nanxun Gate and go around to Wansheng Gate and Jinmingchi, and greet the army of prisoners at Desheng Gate; A grand ceremony was held to sacrifice prisoners, and finally the slaves were beheaded by the Jinming Pond. ”

When Sun Jincao's four ladies saw Zheng Shuang tell the route of the emperor's honor guard, they excitedly said in unison: "So the emperor and Zheng Zi want to go together!" Officials from the three provinces and six ministries, as well as women, children, and children from the city of Tokyo, all participated in the huge ceremony of sacrificing prisoners. ”

Zheng Shuang echoed the words of the four ladies, and asked the eight soldiers who followed him to untie Xiao Tzu Rin from the prisoner cart and get a horse for him to ride, and said, "King of Lanling County, Zheng Shuang is traveling with you and these eight brothers; Go to Tokyo City and find a tavern to have a good drink! ”

Ten war horses galloped across the Yellow River and galloped towards Bianjing City.

From afar, Zheng Shuang saw the majestic Bianjing City, and his heart was full of imagination - the Northern Song Dynasty operated in Tokyo for 168 years and went through nine generations of emperors, but in the end it was destroyed by the Jurchens, which is really a topic worth playing.

With a population of more than 1.5 million, Tokyo is a majestic, large-scale, and splendid capital.

At that time, the city of Tokyo was not only the political, economic, and cultural center of the Chinese nation, but also a prosperous metropolis that was unique in the world.

The huge painting scroll "Qingming Riverside Map" painted by the painter Zhang Zeduan vividly depicts the prosperous scene of Kaifeng City in Tokyo.

The Northern Song Dynasty was also another heyday of the development of science and technology, culture and art after the Tang Dynasty, creating a generation of brilliant Song culture that had a far-reaching impact on later generations.

The honest and honest Bao Gong, the loyal Yang general, Wang Anshi, the national hero Yue Fei and other historical celebrities have left glorious footprints in Kaifeng, and their great achievements; As a national culture, it is still widely praised at home and abroad, and Zhao Ji, the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, who built this classic imperial capital in the world; This talented literati ended up being a prisoner of the Jin people and taken to the desolate Five Kingdoms City.

After the emperor became a prisoner of the Jin people, he seemed to feel that his failure to govern had allowed the Jurchens to take advantage of the loopholes.

The defeat of backwardness over the advanced, and the brutality of civilization over civilization were vividly demonstrated in Song Huizong; The "On the North Question Wall" made by the talented emperor seems to be the disclosure of his remorse:

The west wind shook the door all night,

The depression and solitary hall are faintly lit.

Looking back on three thousand miles,

There is no swallow flying in the south of the mountain.

Once Jiuye Hongji rests,

Rampant and does not listen to the conspiracies of his ministers.

Willing to be captive,

The old country is sad and desolate.
