Chapter Forty-Seven: Fighting the Autumn Wind (I)



(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) Yu Bao looked at everyone viciously, his face was fearless, and he sneered at the sky: "I don't know the height of the sky!" Now and you can be happy, sooner or later there will be a day when you will regret it! ”

Seeing that he was so reckless and still about to make a move, Wu Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, people are big heroes in Zengtou City, how can we afford to provoke a small village in the poor countryside?" ”

Zhuang Ke stopped his hand, Yu Baosi snorted coldly, and said to Wu Zhi: "It seems that you, the owner of the village, are an understanding person!" Not like these blind-eyed idiots! His eyes swept to the villagers, and his eyes were full of disdain.

All the villagers were furious, but Wu Zhi didn't speak, and they didn't dare to attack.

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Don't be angry with the big heroes, they don't know how to be hospitable, they naturally have to treat the big heroes in a way that treats the big heroes, they are really stupid!" As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the villagers: "Take the big hero into the secret room, use a soldering iron, a clamp stick, and entertain well, don't weaken the name of the big hero!" ”

All the villagers were overjoyed, and they were about to leave with Yu Baosi in tow, and laughed in their mouths: "Yes, it's the little ones who are stupid, and these heroes don't know how to entertain!" ”

Some smiled at Yu Baosi: "Big hero, let's go!" ……”

Yu Baosi's face immediately changed, and he looked at Wu Zhi: "You ...... What do you mean by that? ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "Hospitality! ”

Yu Baosi was shocked and angry, and said loudly: "Are you really not afraid of me Zengtou City!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "I'm scared." Saying and waving his hand, those Zhuang guests pulled Yu Baosi and walked towards Zhuangzi, Yu Baosi's face changed completely, there are also private cells in Zengtou City, he has seen lynching others, that is not something ordinary people can bear. Mo said that he was not a hard bone, even if he was a good man with iron and was tortured for a few hours, he couldn't stand it.

"Wait...... Wait a minute......" Yu Baosi struggled and shouted at Wuzhi.

Wu Zhi beckoned, motioned for the villagers to pull him over, and still asked with a smile, "What?" ”

Yu Baosi was pulled back in front of Wu Zhi again, looking at Wu Zhi with a smile on his face, his heart trembled for no reason. The tone is no longer as arrogant as it was then: "Zhuang ...... The owner of the village, the villain is not a Liao person, the villain Yu Baosi, is the leader of the horse breeding in Zengtou City, if the owner does not believe it. You can repair the book for Zengtou City, and you will know ...... when you ask"

Wu Zhiqi said: "Raising horses? ”

Yu Baosi said: "Yes, the villain is most familiar with all kinds of horse habits, and he was promoted to the leader who specializes in taking care of war horses because he was favored by Brother Shi. ”

Wu Zhi nodded: "Brother Shi? Isn't it Shi Wengong? ”

Yu Baosi perked up: "It's his old man, and the owner has also heard of it?" Looking up, I saw Wu Zhi nodding slightly, but ordinary people didn't have any respect, admiration, and shocked expressions when they heard Shi Wengong's name, as if they had heard someone talk about Zhang San, Li, Siwang and Ermazi, and they didn't react at all.

The smugness in Yu Baosi's heart couldn't help but dissipate immediately, and he was only pondering in his heart. Does this person really not care about Zengtou City, or is he lonely and unheard of the name of Zengtou City?

"What are you going to the Northland?" Wu Zhi's face seemed to soften a little, Yu Baosi, he seems to have heard of this character, raising horses? It's also a technical talent. Find a way to collect it as it has been used.

Yu Baosi hurriedly said: "The villain went to the Jurchen tribe in the north to deliver the message, not the Liao country. ”

Wu Zhi was stunned: "Jurchen tribe? ”

Yu Baosi said: "Exactly, the owner of my family is a Jurchen, and there are correspondence with the clan. ”

Wu Zhi was taken aback, Elder Zeng, the owner of Zengtou City, turned out to be a Jurchen? This is a big anecdote, and what is even more strange is that Yu Baosi said it so openly. Without the slightest intention of concealing it, aren't you afraid of being considered a Jurchen spy?

"Elder Zeng is a Jurchen?" Wu Zhi couldn't help but confirm.

Yu Baosi glanced at Wu Zhi strangely, he didn't know why Wu Zhi was so surprised, and said, "Yes." Zengtou City is known to be adjacent to each other! ”

Wu Zhi said "oh", and immediately laughed, how can people today know the rise of the Jurchens and the ferocity of the Jurchens twenty years later, in the eyes of the Song people, the great enemy of the feud is the Liao people, as for the Jurchens, they are just the northern barbarian tribes, but they don't care about it, let alone have any hostility to the Jurchens who yearn for the civilization of the Southern Dynasties and move here.

After figuring out this section, Wu Zhi couldn't help but sigh, looked at Yu Baosi a few times and said, "Are you also a Jurchen?" ”

Yu Baosi shook his head repeatedly, his face was a little ugly: "The villain is a native of the Song Dynasty!" But after being by the owner's side for a long time, he can say a few words of the Jurchen. "Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Wu Zhi for putting him in the barbarian tribe.

Wu Zhi asked again, "Why did you go to the Jurchen Institute?" Who did you meet? ”

Yu Baosi said: "The villain saw the uncle and nephew of my owner, and he brought a few satins and a letter from my owner. ”

Wu Zhi frowned: "Family letter? What are you talking about? ”

Yu Baosi grinned and said, "How can this little one know, I think it's also a greeting." ”

Wu Zhi snorted coldly: "Can Ah Guda have a back book?" ”

Yu Baosi said: "This is not true, just ask the villain to say things like taking care." Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Now the owner of the village is credible to be a villain?" ”

Wu Zhi looked Yu Baosi up and down, looked at Yu Baosi in his heart, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the owner still believe it?" In my heart, I was thinking about how to provoke Brother Shi to help me get angry after returning to Zengtou City.

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Search!" ”

Yu Bao was furious: "Why do you still have to search your body!" I've already searched it! ”

Although those Zhuang guests listened to Wu Zhi's order to go up and touch and drag, they were not very careful, and the little leader came to Wu Zhi's side and whispered: "Master, I did search a few times, but I didn't find anything." ”

Wu Zhi snorted, and only then did he not believe that Ah Guda asked a few words such as taking care, looking at Yu Baosi's appearance, ninety percent of what he said was credible, not to mention that the angry expression when he asked him if he was a Jurchen was not a fake, so it seems that even if Ah Guda has any secret letters, he will definitely not let Yu Baosi know.

"Strip him of his clothes!" Wu Zhi said suddenly.

Yu Baosi's face turned pale: "The owner of the village doesn't deceive people too much...... Ah ......", but it was those Zhuang Ke who listened to Wu Zhi's words, and stepped forward to pick up Yu Baosi's clothes with a smile, and Yu Baosi struggled. How could there be a lot of guests in the village, a few people held down their hands and feet, and the rest began to slowly and rationally relieve Yu Baosi's clothes, which made Yu Baosi angry and scolded.

In autumn, he didn't wear much, Yu Baosi removed the outer robe, which was the inner undershirt, Wu Zhi took Yu Baosi's robe, pinched and touched around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

Strange in my heart. Could it be that Aguta really didn't carry any secret letters? Thinking about it, now the female really is afraid that they are still worried about survival, and they are always thinking about how to break free from the oppression of the Liao people, and where would they think of any intersection with the Great Song Dynasty. I'm afraid I can't imagine that in the future, the Jin Congress will occupy half of China.

Just as he was about to reach out and throw the robe back to Yu Baosi, his eyes suddenly stared at Yu Baosi's sweatshirt, Yu Baosi was horrified by Wu Zhi, and said loudly: "The owner of the village is too bullying!" ”

Wu Zhi only looked at his undershirt, the cyan undershirt looked like it was cut from linen, but it looked like the needlework was very rough, and the thick wiring looked like a sack in later generations, after a few glances, Wu Zhi asked: "Your undershirt was given by the Jurchens?" ”

Yu Baosi hurriedly said: "Yes, it was Ah Gu who sent me." It looks poor, but it is very comfortable to wear...... "He was afraid that the nervous owner would order him to pick up his sweatshirt again, but before he finished speaking, Wu Zhi had already smiled and said: "Okay!" Pick it off! ”

Yu Baosi wailed, and his hands and feet struggled hard, but what could he do? Soon. He was stripped to only a pair of shorts, and the villagers looked at his body with a strange smile, and put Yu Baosi's depressed desire to find a crack in the ground.

Wu Zhi took the undershirt handed by Zhuang Ke, groped carefully, sneered a few times, and took a short knife from Zhuang Ke next to him. Brush and brush a few knives to cut the undershirt to shreds, and pull out a page of tissue paper from the gap, Wu Zhi snorted coldly: "I also said that there is no secret letter!" ”

All the villagers were full of admiration, and they all felt that the owner of the village was really smart. He and the others never thought that there would be a secret letter sewn into his underwear, but Yu Baosi was full of surprise, he had long forgotten his predicament, and looked at the tissue paper in Wu Zhi's hand blankly, unable to say a word.

Wu Zhi picked up the tissue paper and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help frowning, the words on the paper were crooked, but he didn't know it, and turned to Yu Baosi: "Do you know Jurchen characters?" ”

Yu Baosi was stunned: "Jurchen? Don't have any words yet? ”

Wu Zhi shook the tissue paper in front of him: "Then what is this?" ”

Yu Baosi said: "Ah, that's Khitan script, and the Jurchen tribes are all writing in Khitan script." ”

Wu Zhi said: "Do you know the Khitan language? ”

Yu Baosi shook his head blankly: "The villain doesn't know ......" and looked up and said: "Even if the villain is literate, is it difficult for the owner of the village to succeed and not be afraid of the villain's troubles?" At this time, he suddenly saw a secret letter in his undershirt, and he had faintly felt that the relationship between the Zeng family and the Jurchen was not so simple, otherwise why would he hide the letter in the undershirt and not let himself know?

Wu Zhi smiled and waved his hand, signaled Zhuang Ke to let Yu Baosi go, and ordered Zhuang Ke to get clothes for Yu Baosi, and then turned back and said, "You are from Song, why don't I believe you?" ”

Yu Baosi nodded silently and said no more.

Wu Zhi asked the villagers: "Where is the old skin?" Call the old skin. "Lao Pi is the old man of Wujiazhuang, when he was young, he walked through the business in Liao, and was later robbed by the Liao people, and the goods were robbed by the Liao people for many years of savings and loans, and the left leg was broken, and finally lived in Wujiazhuang, proficient in the Khitan language, but he hated the Khitan people, and the Liao people caught in the village were also translated by him during the interrogation.

After Yu Baosi got dressed, he didn't work hard, the old skin limped over, his face was full of stubble, and the frown on his forehead was very deep, a typical old peasant in the north, no one could see that this old man was actually a translator who was proficient in Khitan.

Wu Zhi handed him the tissue paper and said, "Look at what is written?" ”

Lao Pi took it with respectful hands, raised his eyes to look carefully, looked at it a few times, frowned and couldn't help frowning, the more he looked down, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and his mouth couldn't stop chanting: "Barbarian clan, what a big breath!" ”

Wu Zhi couldn't wait patiently, and ordered Zhuang Ke to get pen and ink: "Translate it sentence by sentence!" ”

Lao Pi nodded again and again, squatted on the ground, and picked up a pen and paper to write.

Wu Zhi looked at Yu Baosi and asked, "Can you guess what this secret letter is written about?" ”

Yu Baosi shook his head silently, his expression was very ugly.

Wu Zhi smiled, knowing that he was struggling in his heart. also ignored him, pacing left and right, guessing in his heart that Zeng Toushi and Ah Guta would have some unsavory deeds.

After a while, Lao Pi stood up and said: "Master, the little one has been translated word for word, but the Khitan script is very weird, some words are not easy to translate literally, and the villain can only write the general idea." ”

Wu Zhi nodded, he still knew a little about this difference in translation. As long as the meaning doesn't change. took the paper handed over by Lao Pi, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, go back and pay the money from the manager to drink and eat!" ”

Lao Pi smiled and said goodbye happily, and Wu Zhi looked at the paper in his hand. After a few glances, his face sank, and Ah Guta's letter probably meant that the elder Zeng would buy more leather armor equipment, saying that the armaments of the Jurchen tribe were still far from enough, and said that the elder Zeng mentioned that the Song people were weak and weak, and that Ah Guta said that it would be difficult to unite the Song people to resist Liao, and Ah Guta sighed very much, so that the elder Zeng got to know more of the Great Song Dynasty officials, and tried to promote the alliance of the Song Dynasty to resist Liao, and did not give birth to delusions such as destroying the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens are not strong enough to have such thoughts.

From the letters, it can be seen that Zeng Tou City is an important source of military equipment for the Jurchens, and it seems that Elder Zeng migrated to the south to settle down in order to seek a backer for the Jurchen Ministry, and he did not want Elder Zeng to live in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, but he looked down on the Song people more and more. But it's just that the Jurchens are not strong enough now, if one day the Jurchens destroy the Liao State, the next one is afraid that the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Zhi sneered when he saw it, Lian Song to destroy Liao? In history, the Song State can be said to be the most cowardly, and began to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao, and finally the Liao State was destroyed by the Song and Jindi coalition forces. The Jin State took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains and raided Bianjing, and the Taishang Emperor Zhao Ji and Emperor Qinzong were plundered by the Jin State, and the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the country. Zhao Ji's ninth son, Zhao Gou, retreated to the south of the Yangtze River and became emperor. It is for the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, Mongolia rose, and sent envoys and the Southern Song Dynasty alliance to destroy Jin, after the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty, then the Mongolian iron cavalry went south, and the Southern Song Dynasty was also a spoonful, and since then China has been devastated by foreign races.

Twice formed an alliance and was destroyed twice by allies, the Song Dynasty cannot but say that it is a nest, which can be said to be a historical wonder.

Of course, Wu Zhi also knew about these things in the Song Kingdom, and when he saw that Ah Guda really had the idea of joining Song to destroy Liao, he just sneered in his heart, look at how I got what you wanted.

threw the paper to Yu Baosi and said with a smile: "The owner of your family looks down on us Song people!" Yu Baosi read the secret letter, was ashamed, hung his head heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "This old horseman! ……”

Wu Zhi said: "You can rest for a few days first, and then talk to you in a few days." ”

Yu Baosi was indeed very confused in his heart, and nodded in agreement at the moment.

After lunch, Wu Zhi and Zhu Wu talked in the study, and during the conversation, they talked about Yu Baosi, and Zhu Wu was also furious: "I have heard of the reputation of Zengtou City in the past, but I can't think of the wolf's ambition!" ”

Wu Zhi said: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and the ambition of the Jurchens is really not small!" ”

Zhu Wudao: "What is the prince's plan?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's put it first, it will be useful sometime."

Zhu Wu nodded silently: "Does the prince want Yu Baosi to respond?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "That's exactly what I mean, but I still need Mr. to see if he can be of great use?" Mo showed his feet and lost his life in vain. ”

Zhu Wudao: "Go back to your subordinates, but Lord Wang, when I heard you talk about this, my subordinates have a plan, and nineteen can lure the Liao people into the net." ”

Wu Zhixi said: "Sir, please speak!" "Wu Zhi is sad these days, the Liao people have not seen any movement for a long time, it doesn't matter if it is really so stable, but how can things be so simple, I think it is the Liao people who are listening to their own reality while arranging what tricks, if they are allowed to be arranged by the Liao people, I don't know if the defense line they painstakingly arranged this time will not work, so how can Wu Zhi not be in a hurry? Now that I listen to Zhu Wu's strategy, how can Wu Zhi not like it?

Zhu Wu smiled and whispered to Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi nodded again and again, smiling from time to time, thinking that Zhu Wu's plan was very suitable for his spleen.

Late at night that day, a large area of dark clouds covered the moon buds tightly, and in the dark night, between the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, a group of black shadows galloped by, as if the dark clouds in the sky fell to the ground. Drift to the south pole at a high speed.

Look carefully, in the rolling sand and dust, this large dark cloud is the black helmet and black armor of the Liao iron horse, it seems that there are thousands of people, the enterprise is holding a spear, and the hooves of the war horses are tied with thick cotton cloth, so that there is no earth-shattering galloping sound.

Xiao Tiancheng was also in the queue, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, looking at the young man dancing on a horse next to him. sighed, he and himself two years ago seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and he was so high-spirited and so heroic, but he was woken up two years ago. What is facing him today?

Xiao Tiancheng's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to a few days ago, this young man is called Ye Luguang, but he is the fourth son of Ye Luchun, the emperor's uncle who stayed in Nanjing, and he was favored by Ye Luchun, and he enlisted in the army a month ago. Seven or eight out of ten spies who didn't want to be sent were caught, and they couldn't say why they escaped back to the ground, and Xiao Tiancheng even believed that the Song people must have a conspiracy, so they didn't dare to go out easily.

Yeluguang's temperament is just like Xiao Tiancheng two years ago, his eyes are empty, flying arrogantly, he has long been looking forward to the day of sweeping the autumn wind, but seeing Xiao Tiancheng slow to press the army, he couldn't help urging repeatedly, Xiao Tiancheng said evilly, persuaded Yeluguang, and even sent more people to spy on the reality of the Song people.

Who knows a few days ago. A meticulous worker who had been missing for a few days returned, talking about how he secretly escaped from Wujiazhuang, and it didn't seem like a fake place, and the detailed words said that Wujiazhuang was like an iron wall. Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng gasped, but Yeluguang didn't believe it at all, and somehow while speaking, his clothes were torn, and a letter fell out of the mezzanine of his clothes.

Xiao Tiancheng couldn't help but be taken aback by this, but the letter was written by the owner of Wujiazhuang to himself, and the meaning in the letter was that he had already colluded with him, and this time he thanked Xiao Tiancheng for raising his noble hand and not harassing Wujiazhuang during the autumn harvest.

The fine work was taken down on the spot, and he was tortured in every way, but he only screamed that he was wronged, saying that he didn't know when the letterhead was entrained in his clothes, and he couldn't help but talk nonsense under the pain, saying that it must be that Commander Xiao had an affair with the Song people, and the Song people secretly passed the message like this, and he didn't know anything.

Xiao Tiancheng was helpless, in order to clear up the suspicion, he could only agree to Yeluguang's proposal and dispatch cavalry to "sweep the autumn wind", he was also dizzy by the owner of the Wujiazhuang, I don't know what the owner of the Wujiazhuang meant, does he want to send troops to attack? Then why bother to make Xizuo say that Wujiazhuang is so solid and difficult, others don't know, but he knows that what Xizuo said Wujiazhuang is true, if he doesn't want to invade on a large scale, why write a letter to slander himself. Is it just to shake his prestige in the army? Or will he shake his position in Jereth's heart?

But no matter what kind of thoughts the owner of Wujiazhuang has, it is imperative to "sweep the autumn wind", Xiao Tiancheng thought about it, and finally made a plan, the goal of this time is Hujiazhuang, as for Wujiazhuang, no matter what conspiracy he has, he ignores it. Ye Luguang has no objection, he just needs to have fun, no matter where Xiao Tiancheng attacks, as long as he can really go into battle and kill a few Song people.

When he set off, Yeluguang told Xiao Tiancheng that in fact, he didn't believe that Xiao Tiancheng would have any collusion with the Song people, but in order to get into the battle battle sooner, he pretended to look like that, Xiao Tiancheng only smiled bitterly, in fact, even if there was no Yeluguang, the letter was seen by the second Liao general, and Xiao Tiancheng was bound to attack the Song Dynasty to clear his innocence, otherwise who knows when this letter will be taken out in the future.

"Is Hujiazhuang almost there?" Ye Luguang, who was next to Xiao Tiancheng, asked excitedly, he couldn't suppress his emotions all the way, and his face was full of excitement at this time.

Xiao Tiancheng shook his head: "There are still nearly 100 miles!" ”

Yeluguang let out an "oh", and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Is that female general in Hujiazhuang really that powerful?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng looked at Ye Luguang's young face, and there was a bit of longing in his radiant eyes at this time, and Xiao Tiancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing that Xiao Tiancheng didn't answer his words, Yeluguang couldn't help but urge: "Tell me quickly, does she really have the ability we talked about!" ”

Xiao Tiancheng smiled bitterly: "I've only seen her once, you have to move with the brigade later, don't mess around, if you meet her alone, the gods can't save you." Thinking of the girl dressed in white like snow, the style of the thousands of troops coming and going, Xiao Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, how good this woman would be if she wasn't an opponent!
