Chapter 578: Returning to Liaodi, "Resurrection from the Dead"
Jinzhou City, located at the border of Tokyo Road and Zhongjing Road in Liaoguo, guards the gate of the city Wuzhou Township Ding (the strong men of the Han nationality and Bohai people in the prefectures and counties under the rule of Wujing Road in Liaoguo) were checking the villagers entering and leaving the city, and saw that their expressions were vigilant, and even ordinary people paid more and more attention to the solemnity of the atmosphere.
Since Gao Yongchang rebelled in Liaoyang Mansion and established himself as the emperor, Jinzhou City has also been occupied by the rebels who took the opportunity to rebel twice, and it was not long ago that it was recaptured by the Liao State conquest army led by Ye Luchun, not to mention that this place is located in the key position connecting Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road, and it is ordered by the Liao State Military Division to strengthen the defense of the city, and the vigilance of Jinzhou City has become more and more strict.
It was already dusk, and among the villagers in Wuzhou, there was a military academy that squinted slightly, only looking back and forth at the people under investigation, and suddenly he heard a whistle from a distance, and the military academy was busy following the reputation, and saw a cavalry rushing from the north side of the city gate.
Although the handsome horses under the crotch of the cavalry are of different colors, their fur is reflected in the light of the setting sun, those horses are good horses, and the cavalry sitting on the horses are all dressed in leather robes and iron armor, the military academy and the Wuzhou Township Ding saw that it was the group of men and horses who were all the palace tent troops of the guards of the various states in the capital province dispatched by the Beijing Division, and immediately bowed their heads, and their expressions were very respectful.
Seeing that the general who led the Biao Palace Tent Army took the lead, riding a war horse, he had already rushed to the team of Wuzhou villagers who were checking at the gate of the city, and it could be seen that his riding skills were also very good. After the Khitan general rode around the military academy, he asked: "The people who entered and left Jinzhou City, have they found anything suspicious?" ”
The military academy bowed his hand and replied: "The good teacher knows in detail that the people who enter and leave the city these days are all villagers living around Jinzhou City, and the lower officials have not seen any suspicious people entering and leaving. ”
Hearing this, the Khitan general nodded, and instructed: "During this period of time, all the soldiers under your command should pay attention to it, investigate the passers-by, and do not enter the city without checking!" The traitors who are in rebellion in Liaodong are not dead, maybe they will come to invade Jinzhou, don't let the fine work into the city, if you really bump into the suspicious people and arrest me, those who dare to resist will be killed! ”
The military academy and the Wuzhou townsmen guarding the city gate hurriedly responded, and at this moment, a crisp sound of horses' hooves was heard leisurely, and when the Khitan general put his hand on the canopy, and looked to the southeast, he saw five people riding horses, and after a while, he came to the gate of Jinzhou City.
The Khitan generals looked at the five people, two of them were very handsome, the other was also born more upright, and there was a man with red hair and yellow beard, which was very eye-catching, but what made this Khitan general pay the most attention was the one who was the leader of the five of them.
"Who are you? Don't get off the horse quickly and accept the interrogation! ”
Looking at the old leather clothes on these five people, looking at their eyebrows, it seems that they have all experienced a lot of hardships, and four of these five people carry weapons on their waists, and they don't look like ordinary homeless people. It was the Khitan general who shouted and asked, and at the same time ordered more than a dozen palace soldiers to outflank him left and right, and intercepted the five people.
But there was no panic on the faces of the five people, and the man led by him stepped forward, bowed his hand to the Khitan general, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask what this person is called?" ”
The Khitan general was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily in his heart: This guy is rude! I bite my son Wei Kang is a Huluduo (Khitan language, the meaning of the palace, is to guard the Liao Emperor's palace guard cavalry also known as the Huluduo Army) Khitan Zhenghu, ordinary foreign states of other departments are also very polite when they see me, these men are already suspicious, but they dare to be so presumptuous to me!
With a thought in his heart, he immediately took the hammer of his good envoy from the saddle hook on which the tall horse hung under his crotch. Biting Er Weikang pointed the swarthy hammer at the man again, and shouted loudly: "You are so bold to be a fool! Don't get off the horse yet, and bring in the way of your pickles! But there is a little bit of concealment, and the official will smash your head with a hammer! ”
The man's brows furrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand again, pulled aside the hammer that was about to reach the tip of his nose, and said unhappily: "If you have something to ask, you are not too domineering if you are so pretentious?" ”
Biting Er Weikang made the tip of this long-handled single hammer almost catch up with the size of an ordinary person's head, and it was made of muddy iron with great weight, but the man seemed to be only lightly flicked, but Biter Weikang suddenly felt as if a big man was holding the hammer head and pulling it hard, almost turning him off the horse!
Biting Er Weikang was shocked, he hurriedly sat down, and immediately said angrily: "It's the opposite!" Sons, take down all these thieves for me, and if you have the slightest resistance, you will be killed on the spot! ”
A group of Khitan cavalry listened to the bite and Weikang scolded, they all put their sabers and riding bows in their hands, and the Wuzhou Township Ding Department also had guns in their hands, pressing towards the five people step by step! And Biter Weikang picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it directly at the leading man among the five, until he was about to knock him off the horse with a hammer, and then torture him after he was captured.
The man saw the powerful hammer smashing towards his waist, he snorted coldly, and suddenly lowered his body. The swept sledgehammer swept into the air, and the man first hid in the stirrups and then turned his body over, and then his feet suddenly hit the ground with force, and his body jumped up like a roc bird, and shot towards the biting child Weikang!
Biting Er Weikang only felt a flower in front of him, and he subconsciously picked up a sledgehammer and attacked the man in mid-air. said that it was too late, that time was fast, and I saw that the man's right arm reached out, lightly pressed the head of the war horse under the crotch of Biter Weikang, and then used a single palm to exert force and the body jumped again, and before Biting Er Weikang swung the power of the sledgehammer to use the old, he landed behind Biter Weikang with a "harrier turnover", and rode on a war horse with him!
It is said that Biting Er Weikang's strength and martial arts are not general, but how could he have expected that this man's body method was so fast, and his kung fu in close quarters and short fights was also so perfect! was caught off guard, and before Biter Weikang could react, the man's left arm had already reached out of the eagle claw and buckled it in Biter Weikang's throat, and he also pulled out the steel knife at his waist with his right hand, and pressed it against the waist eye of the Khitan general who was riding with him.
"Which one of them dare to move? Ask someone who can speak in Jinzhou to come and see me! It's bad enough to be falsely rumored of my death by your Liao Dynasty, and you still have to touch my brow now! ”
The man's tongue roared like thunder, so startled that the Khitan cavalry and the Wuzhou townsmen stood on the spot in fright, seeing that the man's martial arts were superb, and he so easily restrained the many generals stationed in Jinzhou City at the moment, who claimed to be the most capable biting Weikang, where did they dare to move a little.
Cold sweat broke out on Weikang's forehead, and he also realized that even if he was on guard, he was afraid that he would never be the opponent of this man. Biting Er Weikang gritted his teeth again, and he hissed: "You dare to hold officials hostage, don't you know that you have committed a capital crime?" Who are you, dare to come to Jinzhou with a few people from this district! ”
"Is it a capital crime, the official law of the Liao State does not control me, an official of the Song State...... What's more, I had good words with you, but you were rude first, but it wasn't you who humiliated yourself? ”
The man bared his teeth again, and said leisurely: "But this person can rest assured, after all, my Great Song Dynasty has a diplomatic alliance with your country, and I will not harm your life." I also have to bother to send someone to report to the court...... Let's just say that Xiao Tang, the Song envoy who visited your country in the past, is still alive and well. ”

Note: The Huluduo army is similar to the hereditary military household of the Rongwei Liao royal family, and all subordinates can also command the soldiers and horses, so they can also be transferred to other states in wartime, especially in the middle and late Liao Dynasty, because the palace guard cavalry army still retains the structure after the death of the first emperor of the Liao State, and the newly enthroned emperor needs to re-establish his own palace guard cavalry army according to the rule. In the face of the increasing staffing, the palace guard cavalry also increased its responsibility for defending strategic points.
