The twenty-second time on the impeachment of Ah Jiu City, Shi Zhiyong

Let's say that the envoy of the Liao State heard that there was not a single soldier of the Wanyan tribe under the city of Ah Xuan, and he did not believe it in his heart, so he went to inspect it in person. When Ying Ge heard this, she said: "This is very good, and it can also solve the doubts in the heart of your envoy." There is only one thing, you have to be more careful, otherwise you will have to worry about your life. The envoy of the Liao State said: "I am the envoy of the Liao State, who dares to do anything to me wherever I go?" Is this a bluff to me? Ying Ge said: "Your envoy, please calm your anger and listen to my words again." Actually, my words are not sensational, please think twice. Now Ah Jiu is greedy for the glory of Shangjing and does not return to the Shilie tribe. I also acted according to the edict and withdrew all the men and horses of my tribe. Now I heard that the Sushilie tribe has no leader, civil strife is repeated, and murder occurs from time to time. If you go lightly, what will you do if you encounter something urgent? When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he was skeptical in his heart and asked, "Is it true that the envoy of the festival has spoken?" Ying Ge said: "Listening to the meaning of your envoy's words, do you still have doubts about what I said?" In that case, I will not say more, and let it be up to your honor. When the Liao envoy heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more, and he was hesitant in his heart. After being silent for a long time, he said: "If this is the case, what can I do?" Yingge said: "If you don't believe it, I, Yingge, will no longer want to say anything." If you believe me, I have an idea here. When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he hurriedly asked: "What is the high opinion of the envoy of Jiedu, it is okay to talk about it." Ying Ge said: "If the envoy must go, I will escort the two of you to accompany the envoy." They are all leaders of the Pucha tribe, one is Hu Lu Jin and the other is Miao Xun Jin. They are more familiar with the Sushilie tribe, and if there is an emergency, they can come forward to mediate. The envoy of the Liao State was overjoyed when he heard the words and thanked him in person.

The envoys of the Liao State, together with Hu Lu and Miao Xun, set off on the same day. Although it is inevitable to suffer from wind and dust along the way, it is an envoy of the kingdom after all. The leaders of the tribes along the way did not dare to slack off on him, and ushered in the send-off, which was very grand, but they did not feel lonely. On this day, there were still more than ten miles away from Ah Jiu City, and I saw the battle flags fluttering and the drums under the city from a distance. There were soldiers in full armor, galloping on horseback, and surrounded the city of Ajiu. When looking at the head of the city again, there are also soldiers armed with guns and halberds, patrolling back and forth. Looking at this kind of scene, people are aware of a very strong atmosphere of war. The envoy of the Liao State said: "Ah Jiu's words are true, but Yingge is deceiving me. Hu Lu Jin said: "Isn't this obviously a war? What the hell is going on? Let's take a look. ”

It is getting closer and closer to Ah Jiu City, and there are about three or five miles away, and even the faces of the soldiers above and below the city can be seen clearly. Miao Xunjin suddenly shouted, "What's going on? Since it was a war, it was unbelievable that the people in the city and the city were wearing the same clothes. When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he stopped his horse, looked at it carefully for a long time, and became suspicious in his heart, and said to the two: "What kind of fame is this?" It's inexplicable. ”

A mile away from the city, the Liao envoy dismounted. In order to prevent accidents, Hu Lujin went to find out the news first. After a while, Hu Lu Jin returned, and he told the Liao envoy: "I asked the besiegers where they came from, and they did not want to tell me, but there was a man who looked like a leader who agreed to meet us. Then the three men got on their horses and went to the edge of the city.

Under a few big trees not far from the city, a few chairs were placed, and there was a person who looked like a leader, sitting on the first chair, majestic and murderous. Behind him stood two men, swords-pressed, glaring angrily. When people saw it, they shuddered. Hu Lu Jin stepped forward and said: "This is the noble envoy of the Liao State, please meet with courtesy!" The leader said, "I am a martial artist, and I only know how to listen to us." The rest of the people don't pay any attention. ”

Hu Lu Jin said: "No, he is a distinguished guest, according to the customs of the Sushilie tribe, guests cannot be neglected. "The chief heard and said;" Since it's a guest, please be seated. After that, the drinker brought three chairs and invited the envoy of the Liao State, Hu Lu and Miao Xun to sit down.

It turned out that this leader was none other than the impeacher who had been ordered to besiege the city of Aji. At this time, when he saw that several men were about to enter the city, he called out to the soldiers, "Go, let them go." If you want to put a person in, I want your heads! ”

The three people here saw everything in their eyes, and they couldn't help but be frightened, dumbfounded, and speechless for a long time. The envoy of the Liao State thought for a long time, and then asked in a roundabout way: "This general, where did you send it?" I think it was probably sent by the Wanyan tribe to quell the chaos, right? ”

When the impeacher heard this, his heart became alert, and he said in a loud voice: "What is this? This is the world of the Sushilie tribe, and their Wanyan tribe relies on strong soldiers and horses, so what can they do to us? If they send three or five men, I will show mercy to them and drive them away. If they send three or five hundred, I'll swallow them all one by one, and see what they can do to me?"

When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say. After a while, he hinted at Hu Lu Jin again and asked him to ask. Hu Lujin walked up to the impeacher and said to him: "This general, we have something to ask for, I don't know if we can say it?" The impeacher said: "The heavens here belong to me, the earth here belongs to me, and here I have the final say, so say whatever you want." ”

Hu Lu Jin said: "We have 100,000 urgent official duties, and if we want to go to the city, please ask the general to allow us to enter the city." ”

The impeacher said: "If this matter is put in normal times, then it is easy to say." However, it is difficult to say now. Since there was chaos in our Sushilie tribe, and it has not yet been calmed down, it is even more difficult to say this. We told me that no one in the city would be allowed to come out, and no one from outside the city would be allowed to enter. If you go in, to whom will I give my head? ”

Hu Lu Jin said: "The general doesn't know, this lord is the envoy of the Liao State, and your Yan Jin doesn't dare not listen to him!" ”

The impeacher said, "All right, all right, I only value this head on my neck." Today, don't say who he is, I only have one word, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, I won't let him in! ”

Hu Lujin was helpless, so he had to sit aside and stop talking. After a while, Miao Xunjin came over again and said to the impeacher: "General, what happened to your tribe, we may be able to help you deal with it." ”

The impeacher said: "You are a nosy man, and you are really unreasonable. How can we let others take care of the affairs of our Sushilie tribe? ”

Miao Xunjin said: "The general's words are different, we don't care who cares about what happens in your tribe? Today is a matter of decision. ”

When the impeacher heard this, he was furious and shouted: "You don't know what to do, and you stretch out your hand too long." Come, teach me a lesson! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw two samurai come out in response. Each of them had a bright spear in his hand, and ran straight towards the mounts of Hulu and Miao, and stabbed the horse twice. I saw blood gushing like a fountain, and the two horses fell to the ground screaming and died.

The impeacher commanded: "Tie up these two tongue-goats, and I'll see how long their tongues are later!" ”

At this time, two more warriors rushed out, knocked Hu Lu and Miao Xun Jin to the ground, and tied a strong knot.

When the envoy of the Liao State saw this scene, he was already frightened and at a loss. It was only then that he regretted that he should not have listened to Yingge's words and came to this ghost place.

The impeacher was furious, and shouted at the Liao envoy: "Get out, get out, get out of here!" If you hesitate any longer, I will tell you to walk around without eating! ”

When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he did not dare to stay any longer. Mounted on his horse, whipped his whip, and ran away with his head in his hands.

When the Liao envoy went far away, the impeacher hurriedly ordered to loosen the ties for Hu Lu and Miao Xun, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." If not, it will not be enough to make the Liao envoy frightened away! Hu Lu and Miao Xun looked at each other and said with a smile: "The two of us followed the instructions of the envoy of the festival and came to perform this singing. Now that this drama is over, it's time for us to go. With that, he said goodbye and left.

The impeacher commanded the besieging soldiers and immediately launched a fierce assault on the city. Mao Jianlu originally pinned his hopes on the envoy of the Liao State, but now he watched the envoy of the Liao State leave, and he was even more groundless and panicked. barely held on for half a day, but it was expected that it would be difficult to hold, so he had to surrender Kaicheng. One of them, dressed in the tattered clothes of the native people, tried to sneak out of the city, but was spotted by the besieging soldiers, who bound him up and came to see the impeacher. Someone recognized him as the brother of Ah Jiu, and the impeacher said: "Everyone else can be forgiven, but their brother cannot be forgiven!" He ordered his soldiers to beat him to death with sticks. Di Gu Baoyuan went to Liao with his brother, and later heard that the envoy of Liao was coming, so he thought that he could retreat from the enemy without a knife or a shot, so he returned to Ah Jiucheng in advance. Unexpectedly, this time even his own life was lost, which can be regarded as a catastrophe.

Ah Jiu was in the capital of the Liao State, and since the Liao State envoy left, he felt that he was in a panic and could not spend all his days. When the Liao envoys returned to Shangjing, he heard that they had returned in vain, and he suddenly had a sense of foreboding. In desperation, he sent his cronies to the Sushilie tribe to inquire about the news. A few days later, his cronies returned and told him that the city had been breached and that his brother Di Gubao had been killed. When Ah Jiu heard such bad news, it was like five thunderbolts hitting the top, and he suddenly felt that the sky was spinning and he fainted to the ground. After a long time, he woke up and cried: "The foundation that has been operated for several generations is now ruined, what face do you have to see your ancestors in the ground!" "Come to see the Emperor of Liao immediately and cry. When the emperor of Liao heard this, he wanted to send his ministers to the Wanyan tribe to stop the troops. Although it was difficult for the ministers to resist Ah Jiu's invitation, when they remembered the scene they encountered under Ah Jiu City, they couldn't help but talk about the tiger's color change, and their hearts were palpitating. No one dared to obey the edict, but they did not dare to explicitly refuse. After thinking about it, he finally came up with a method of stealing beams and changing pillars, Li Dai Tao stiffened, and recommended Xi Guojie to make Yi Lie go to stop the army with an edict. It turns out that this Xi people are also an ancient minority tribe, called Kuxi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, distributed in the Raoleshui Basin, and lived a nomadic life, and has maintained close ties with the Central Plains. In the Tang Dynasty, the leader Li Dayu was named the king of Raole County, and Tang Gaozong married him to the princess of Guoan, which was called "Liangfan" together with the Khitan at that time. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi tribe was also divided, and some Xi people, under the leadership of the leader Qu Zhu, moved west to Yanzhou, also known as Xixi. Since then, it has been known as something ridicule. With the strength of the Khitan tribe and the establishment of the Liao State, the Xi tribe became its subordinate. At that time, the leader Yilie was also appointed as the envoy of the festival by the Liao State.

Yilie was ordered by the emperor of Liao, brought the edict, and came to the Wanyan tribe. Ying Ge thought that Yi Lie was also a minority of tribal leaders, and they were all bullied by the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, and he felt that the orangutan cherished the orangutan. At the same time, they all served as the envoys of the festival, so the reception for him was particularly grand, and he was specially arranged to live in Xinghe Village. The environment here is beautiful, the houses are tall, and it is a place where the envoys of the Liao State live.

On the same day, Ying Ge led his civil and military subordinates to Xinghe Village to meet Yi Lie. Yi Lie read out the edict in public, and the edict was fierce and the tone was very strong, and there was no room for maneuver. The edict reads: "Whoever has gained from the attack on the city of Ajiu will be repaid by those who survive, and those who do not survive will be compensated." "The edict also has to collect hundreds of horses from the Wanyan tribe, and requires Yingge to be as fast as possible. After receiving the edict, Yingge set up a banquet to entertain Yilie and left him to live in Xinghe Village for a few days. Yi Lie was a cautious man, tight-lipped, never lied, and never talked about his personal opinion on the edict. Neither what it is nor what it is not. On the day he left the Wanyan tribe, Ying Ge said to Yi Lie: "Please go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor of Liao that we will not violate the edict and will definitely implement it according to the edict." Unexpectedly, Yi Lie's answer was so meaningful, and he said: "I came to the Wanyan tribe this time to carry out a special mission, which should have been completed by the minister of Liao. As for the edict, I can only read it from the book. As for how to carry it out, that's a matter for your Wanyan tribe. With the superhuman wisdom of your Wanyan tribesmen and their indomitable spirit, you will have a good solution. ”
