Chapter 1113: National Thief, Military Rebellion IV
Feng Mingshan and Lu Qian were also careless enough to talk about it, they didn't feel that a catastrophe was about to come at all, and they were very relieved to leave the battalion of iron cavalry they brought outside the city. took dozens of guards and followed Liu Yanqing into the city.
The plan to hunt and kill Feng Mingshan and Lu Qian was arranged by Liu Yanqing, and it was arranged very carefully, and they were all at the level of textbooks. It's a pity that in history, when I met Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan, I wouldn't go to his Hongmen banquet, but the guy who had to fight him hard......
At this time, in Linfen City, there was nothing unusual at all. There are still all kinds of buying and selling in the market, and business is still good. There are also many refugees from the northern part of Hedong Road begging along the streets, and some people are selling their daughters. When Liu Yanqing saw it, he actually took out a handful of copper coins and threw them over, and continued to move forward with the two guests in a sound of gratitude. He also pretended to be worried about the country and the people, saying that he would personally lead the army, expel the Hulu, and recover the lost land.
Hearing this, Lu Qian's brows furrowed slightly, he was a fox in the army and in the officialdom. How can you not know that those who know the soldiers often do not talk lightly about military affairs, and only those who do not know the soldiers like to talk big about military affairs. Liu Yanqing can't be regarded as a soldier who doesn't know soldiers, right? Even if you want to say this kind of big talk, you should go and talk to Zheng Juzhong and Qian Gai, two laymen, and talk to yourself and Feng Mingshan? And this guy can get mixed up with the position of the control of Hedong Capital, and he should have mastered the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense when he sees ghosts. Why do you still talk like this? Isn't it that he is now distraught and doesn't know what to say?
Thinking of this, Liu Yanqing had already led Lu Qian and Feng Mingshan to the door of Zheng Juzhong's Shuaisi. It's quite heavily guarded, and there are many soldiers with armor on top of each other. Seeing Liu Yanqing, Lu Qian, Feng Mingshan and others coming, a team immediately stepped forward to stop them.
The commander is heavy, and he is not allowed to enter by horse, and the guards are not allowed to follow!
Liu Yanqing got off the horse with a smile and said to Lu Qian and Feng Mingshan: "Now it is Zheng Shuxiang who is in charge of the military affairs in Hedong, an important minister of the imperial court, and the law is naturally strict. The two of you should be cautious when you meet the prime minister later! β
"Zheng Shuxiang?" Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you see Master Qian, the transfer envoy with the army?" β
They're here to ask for money! The money thing should be to transfer the tube. On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, there is rarely confusion on the issue of money, food and military power...... It's rare to mix it up, so let Wu Haogu seize the opportunity! Will Lu Yanshuai and Cao Chen learn a lesson now?
"Oh," Liu Yanqing smiled, "see the cardinal minister first, and then go to the transfer envoy to get the money...... The cardinal minister didn't know how much he said for the 500,000 yuan. β
I should have visited him.
Lu Qian said in a low voice: "But the two of us came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts." β
"No, no." Liu Yanqing waved his hand, "It is better than any gift to be able to relieve the siege of Taiyuan!" β
"It's not easy." Lu Qian shook his head.
Why didn't he want to relieve the siege of Taiyuan? His benefactor Tong Guan is still in Taiyuan City, and his life and death are unknown?
"This is not the place to talk, let's go first." As he spoke, Liu Yanqing got off the horse first, threw the reins to a personal retinue, and then swaggered into the gate first.
Feng Mingshan immediately dismounted from his horse, threw the reins to a personal guard with a smile, and followed in. Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was the person who pounced Tong Guan in Hedong, Zheng Juzhong always wanted to give Tong Xuanshuai a little face, right? So I followed.
Zheng Juzhong's Shuai Si Ya corridor is tortuous, deep and long, and he has walked through the courtyard that he doesn't know how many people have entered. At the foot of every doorway, there are tall Kaifeng soldiers standing motionless.
This is magnificent, but it far exceeds Zhang Yuan's marshal mansion in Liangzhou, and Wu Haogu's republican government in Tianjin cannot be compared with others.
This pivotal style is really extraordinary!
Before they knew it, they had come to an empty courtyard.
"You two are here later, and the official will go to the court." As Liu Yanqing spoke, he strode out of a moon door.
Lu Qian and Feng Mingshan waited for a while, but they didn't see Liu Yanqing come back, but they heard a dense sound of footsteps, as well as the clanging sound of the armor leaf blades colliding.
"Not good!" Lu Qian gasped, "There is an ambush, we have a plan......
As he spoke, he picked up Feng Mingshan and left, and went out through the courtyard gate that he had entered before, but a group of armorers with helmets and armor, spears and swords and shields were already waiting outside the door.
A stout and tall junior officer in his forties held a token in his hand and shouted: "A certain family has been ordered by the prime minister to arrest the two of you, why don't you arrest them quickly?" β
Arrested!?
Feng Mingshan was a little stunned when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Is Zheng Juzhong's madness? A certain family can bring 5,000 iron horses to Jinju! 5,000 iron horsemen are enough to level Jinju! β
Lu Qian already knew that something was wrong, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat.
Seeing that Feng Mingshan wanted to draw his sword and stepped forward, he held his arm down: "A good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him...... You and I don't even have armor, so we can't get out! β
Armor is worn when you go to battle, or when you show off your might. Seeing that Shangguan does not wear this, but wears official clothes. Therefore, the hundreds of guards brought by Lu Qian and Feng Mingshan were all wearing armor, but they themselves had no armor.
Taking advantage of Lu Qian's opportunity to hold down Feng Ming Mountain, several armor soldiers rushed up, first knocked Feng Ming Mountain down, and then tied it with the rope that had been prepared a long time ago, and then tied Lu Qian, who was tied up. The two unlucky guys were led to Zheng Juzhong in this way.
Feng Mingshan was still there scolding: "Heaven is intolerable! A certain family is not guilty, why did a certain family be tied up? A certain family is not convinced! β
Both of them were dragged to a large hall, and there were more soldiers lined up under the stairs of the hall, all of them in full armor. The lobby has a wide staircase that leads to the open door. Inside the gate, in front of the White Tiger Screen, there is a huge desk. A few days after the case, an elderly white-faced scholar was sitting on the case, his eyes moving and looking at Feng Mingshan, who was scolding. This old man, with a black gauze soft hat and a purple robe and a jade fish charm. Lu Qian recognized him as Zheng Juzhong, so he leaned over and saluted: "Lu Qian, the military plane under the tent of the little boy Xuanshuai, has seen the privy minister. β
Zheng Juzhong nodded, and before he could answer, Feng Mingshan scolded: "Do you old thief know the affairs of the Privy Council Zheng Juzhong?" Why do people arrest someone? Where did your grandfather Feng offend you, this old man? β
"Noise!" Zheng Juzhong slapped the case a few times, and almost every sentence was said with grinding teeth: "As an official soldier, kidnapping the gentry and extorting money and food, how is it different from a robber?" This official is going to make decisions for the people today, and kill you, a thief who does not abide by military discipline and has no king's law! β
I'm really going to kill my head!
Feng Mingshan was also dumbfounded. He came with 5,000 iron horses! Don't the officials of the Song Dynasty know how powerful the 5000 iron cavalry is?
"Someone!" Zheng Juzhong said angrily, "Escort this thief out of the gate and behead the public!" β
He didn't want to kill Feng Mingshan immediately, but Feng Mingshan's mouth was too broken. He is not from a serious officialdom, although he has been a guest for Ma Zhi, he is basically a Jianghu person, and he is also a Jianghu person in Liaoguo. That mouth naturally had no rules, and insulted Zheng Juzhong. How big a civil official is Zheng Juzhong, how can he endure a small military attache pointing his nose and scolding like this? In a fit of anger, he ordered Feng Mingshan to be pushed out of the gate and beheaded.
Within this gate, the yamen that is equivalent to Zheng Juzhong's affairs is also his mansion. It's unlucky to kill people in your own home, so you have to push them out and kill them.
At that time, Zheng Juzhong's own soldiers rushed forward and took Fengming Mountain, which had long been tied up strongly, out to kill his head. Feng Mingshan was also dumbfounded at this time, he was really going to die! What should I do? Although he brought 5,000 iron horses, those iron horses are all in Hongdong County? I can't come for a while, but what can I do?
How good is that?
I was so anxious that I couldn't help it, and I was about to cry, when I suddenly heard someone talking loudly.
"Well, how does this close the door? Hurry up and open the door, the cardinal let him kill, and he has to push out the gate to kill ......"
"I can't open the door, there's a battle going on outside the door, and most of them have already been defeated!"
"What?"
"Go to war!"
"What's going on?"
"The guards brought by those two thieves are so powerful, our brothers are going to arrest them, but they cut them down! If you don't close the door, you might let them rush in. β
"What? So many of you can't beat dozens of them? β
"Wherever they are, they have caught up with the big tiger! How can you beat someone who kills people without blinking? β
"What then? If you can't get out of the door, can you still kill people? β
While he was talking, a rumbling explosion sounded, and someone shot a rocket into the sky! Not one yet, but one after the other......
It turned out that although the soldiers of the Kaifeng New Army arranged by Liu Yanqing (some of them were used for Zheng Juzhong's personal guards and were not dispersed), they could not defeat dozens of Fengming Mountain's personal guards.
Obviously, Liu Yanqing was negligent and underestimated the hand-to-hand combat skills of the Hexi knights. Because the curriculum of the Knight Academy does not emphasize hand-to-hand combat, it pays attention to group charge. Liu Yanqing also knew that the Hexi Knight and the Tianjin Knight Division were from the same family, so he also took it for granted that the people brought by Fengming Mountain could not fight hand-to-hand.
But how did he know how difficult it was to pacify such a vast land as Hexi and Anxi! Even if Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun took away many thorns, there were still many tribes, robbers, and nomads to deal with. Skirmishes never stopped! These Hexi knights have already been trained, how can those Kaifeng new troops who have never seen blood beat others? Even if there are a few small military attachΓ©s who are born as warriors who can fight, they are all old now, and they are used to living a comfortable life, and they have long since lost the courage of the past.
So the battle that took place outside the gate has now been decided!
Outside the gate that was to be used to kill Fengming Mountain, it has now been occupied by Fengming Mountain's subordinates......
