When Ma Kuo heard that something was wrong, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and nodded: "That's the case, I still handle many things here." Device: No ads, full text, what's more? What's the problem? ”

The Liao envoy didn't answer for a while, and Ma Kuo felt more and more that something was wrong, and asked again: "We have already agreed with the four prefectures of Hexi and the places where Xiao Heda is based, but we will only lend it to you, and once your eastern expedition is successful in the future, it will be returned." No problem, right? ”

"That's right." Liao envoy said. Hearing this, Ma Kuo knew what was going on, and his face suddenly fell, looking at his undulating xiōng chamber and trembling beard, he knew his mood at this time.

"At the beginning, there was this agreement, which was based on the Song-Liao alliance and the joint cutting of gold. Now, your country has taken the initiative to abandon the covenant and unilaterally negotiate peace with the NV, which is already a non-recognition of any agreement made with the Great Liao. In this case, the agreements of the four prefectures of Hexi and Xiazhou are naturally not counted, and the next is to be entrusted by Chief Xiao to declare to you that from now on, these areas are undoubtedly the territory of Daliao. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Ma Kuo took the case! The most senior official of the Great Song Dynasty shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable! In that year, your Emperor Dezong set himself up as the king because of his disagreement with Emperor Tianqi, went north to the city of Kedun, and took advantage of the tribes to get more than 10,000 forces in an attempt to restore Liao. However, seeing that the Jin people were powerful, in order to avoid the attack, the whole army took the route of the Uighurs to the west. has been in the Western Regions for many years, although he has laid down a territory, but after all, he can't help it. That year, your Emperor Dezong took Xiao Weili, the father of Chief Manager Xiao, as his commander, and sent 70,000 horsemen to the east, but he didn't even see the face of the real person and went home! ”

"Ma Staff Officer......" The Liao envoy was indignant when he saw him, and he wanted to persuade him. But Ma Kuo didn't listen at all, and said quickly: "Xu Xuanfu was in the past to resist Jin, and secondly, how can he not understand the pain of your Khitan people losing their country than the hatred of losing their land in our dynasty!" I will contact you with all kinds of difficulties, and ask the court to form an alliance with you to jointly seek gold! I understand that you are far away in the Western Regions, and you are beyond the reach of the Eastern Soil Whip, so you will borrow the four states of Hexi and Xiazhou! Let you have a place to stay, and now you have turned your faces without grace to do such things! What a reason! ”

Ma Kuoren was born strong, but now because of his anger, he is even more righteous and strict, and Liu Guangshi is a little stunned when he hears it. The Liao envoy did not change, and after waiting quietly for the other party to finish spraying, he only said: "Da Liao was forced to leave the Western Regions, doesn't it have anything to do with Counselor Ma?" ”

At that time, Ma Kuo made an alliance with NV Zhen on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty to the northeast by sea and attack Liao together, which was the "alliance on the sea", which became a "stain" in Ma Kuo's life, and he also paid a heavy price for it, so he was the most taboo to talk about this. The Liao envoy exposed his shortcomings in person, and he was not angry like a river?

But no matter how angry he is, he is also a martial artist, and it is impossible for him to openly stage a full martial arts on this occasion, he just clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth and glared!

Liu Guangshi didn't say anything, but when he saw this situation at this time, he actually started a round: "Old things, why mention them again?" ”

The Liao envoy deliberately avoided Ma Kuo's scorching gaze, and said to Liu Guangshi: "It's okay not to mention this case, Ma Counselor keeps saying how Xu Xuanfu is, how Xu Xuanfu is, but where is Xu Xuanfu now?" Why didn't I see it? ”

Liu Guangshi was bored, and he didn't know what to say. Ma Kuo was a person who was used to seeing strong winds, so he quickly calmed down and calmed down. The Khitans' statement at this time is actually a response and revenge for the previous actions of the Great Song Dynasty, and if this momentum continues, then it is likely to deepen the hostility.

As soon as he thought of this, he sat down and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Xiao's statement is that he intends to be the enemy of my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

The Liao envoy was not intimidated by these words, and also sneered: "Your country has done everything before, why didn't you deliberately get along with Da Liao?" Our manager Xiao has never made a fuss, the gold thief has a hatred of the country with my Da Liao, and a hatred of aggression with the Great Song Dynasty, and I have the same hatred for the enemy from top to bottom of the Da Liao, and I am determined to restore the country. Could it be that the national shame is not snowy, the national revenge is not avenged, and they want to shake hands and be a pair of good brothers? ”

This insulted the country and the emperor, Ma Kuo couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily: "Pifu'an dares to do this!" Insult the dynasty in front of my Sichuan and Shaanxi governors! It's too much of a deception! "His voice was very loud, and he roared, and who couldn't hear it clearly in the entire Xuanzhi Division?

Liu Guangshi was also awakened by this roar! That's right! I'm the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi! insulting Da Song in front of me and satirizing the saint, this is too shameless! The moment is also full of righteous indignation! Coupled with Ma Kuo's roar, he had no way out, so he immediately pulled his face and shouted angrily: "Someone! ”

The guards outside had already heard Ma Kuo's roar, and Liu Xuan had come to the door, and the guards had already rushed to the mouth of Mén, for some reason. Liu Guangshi crossed his heart and pointed his finger at Liao: "Beat this person away!" Deportation! ”

Being a soldier is the most realistic, and they will do whatever they are commanded to do! Immediately, these soldiers turned their guns horizontally, rushed forward, pulled the Liao envoy and kicked them out, and the guns in their hands slashed their heads and heads! Although the Liao envoy was a businessman, he had seen a lot of the world when he traveled east and west, and when he saw that the call was coming, he held his head with both hands to protect it, and ran out as if he was dead!

The person was beaten away, Ma Kuo was still angry, his black face was flushed, Liu Guangshi saw it, and comforted him in turn: "Zichong doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as him, this kind of person is not enough to speak." ”

Ma Kuo didn't say much, got up and said, "It's okay, go first." ”

"Okay, don't take it personally." Liu Guangshi persuaded again. After Ma Kuo left, he didn't feel anything unusual, what Hexi Sizhou and Xiao Heda's territory were all run by Xu Wei, and it had little to do with him. And to tell the truth, the original territory is also controlled by others, and the so-called borrowing Yunyun is just a rhetoric. You said that when the restoration is successfully returned, then this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? Therefore, if the Khitans don't pay it back, they won't pay it back. It's just that this matter has a big impact on tǐng and must be reported to the imperial court.

At this time, Liu Taiwei didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and it was just a small friction, so he casually wrote a notebook and sent it to Hangzhou Xingchao.

On the other hand, after the Liao envoy was deported, he quickly returned to Xingqing Mansion and truthfully reported the treatment he suffered in Xingyuan Mansion to Xiao Duolubu. When the latter heard the news, his anger was no less than that of Ma Kuo, who was in the hall at that time! All right! It depends on the owner to beat the dog! Although this envoy was not sent by the government, but I was entrusted to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi, you dare to beat my envoy Luànbāng away and deport him! This is no longer an insult to me personally, but an offense to the majesty of Da Liao!

It seems that the southerners are determined to wear a kùzi with NV real people, and they are enemies of my Da Liao! New hatred and old hatred came to my heart together, Xiao Duolu didn't think that if I didn't return the face, people would really be a bully for me!

Liu Guangshi's book was sent to Hangzhou, and Emperor Zhao Jin didn't take it seriously, and neither did the minister! It's just that Xu Wei single-handedly promoted the alliance at the beginning, and the people in the central government don't feel it, so they don't care about it regardless of whether they form an alliance or betray an alliance. Liu Guangshi said in his book that the envoy insulted the national pilgrimage and the saint, so he was expelled. The emperor and Zai Zhi also thought that he had done the right thing, and if he dared to insult the saint, the expulsion would be light!

They would never have thought that this "outer jiāo conflict" would really become a fuse!

April 14, Jin Sujun.

Jinsu is roughly located in the northwest direction of the ancient Jungger Banner in later generations, which was originally occupied by the Liao people, and operated here after the Jin destroyed the Liao. Previously, Xiao Duolu did not launch a campaign intended to capture the land on the west bank of the Yellow River, and captured the Qing army and Dongshengzhou, and the Jinsu army and Yongbian Prefecture surrendered to the Song Dynasty. How do you know that things are turning around, and the Great Song Dynasty court is unwilling to destroy the peaceful environment with the Jin State because of this "small profit", and orders the Shenwu Right Army to return.

Therefore, the Yan Shuai Division, the Lin Fu Pacification Division, who took over this place, withdrew the officials and most of the garrison, waiting for Jiāo to return to the Jin State. But NV Zhenren didn't want to take it back, and planned to give it to Da Song as a gift. After Yan Liang's envoys went to Hangzhou to report, Zhao Jin also decided to take over. So he went down to Sichuan and Shaanxi and asked them to receive it. This order probably hasn't arrived at Xingyuan Mansion yet, so Yan Yanshuai doesn't know about it.

The Jinsu military city is not large, because it was built for the needs of war, so it is quite strong. When Yan Yan Shuaisi took it over, he planned to operate it as a fortress. So at that time, Xu Hong ordered Xu Yong to send Jīng Rui troops, and transferred a large number of Jīng Liang equipment for the garrison to use.

Isn't it going to be returned to Jin Guo again? So the large army also withdrew, and all the powerful crossbow and giant cannons were pulled back. Now in Jinsu City, only the infantry of the two capitals is responsible for maintaining law and order. As for the other Yongbyon Prefecture, there is no way to say that if the city is broken, the people will flee and almost be abandoned.

However, Jin Su is not much better. At the beginning, the Liao army held the Yellow River, and the Jinsu grain was exhausted, and after the garrison surrendered, most of the people were scattered. Although the situation has since eased and it has gradually returned, it is still very desolate. In the market, the western sergeants patrolled in formation, and most of the places they passed were empty houses with no people, especially deserted.

At the head of the city, there were only sporadic sergeants on duty. They all only asked Jiāo to return it to the nv real person after a long time in this city, so they were not wary and seemed very loose. However, no matter how loose they are, they are also Yan Yanjun. Not far from here, the Heqing army was based on the Liao army, although there was no war between Song and Liao, but the soldiers still instinctively remained on guard regardless of these. So, there are still sentinels.

Approaching the middle meal, the soldiers were hungry quickly, and the guards at the head of the city were looking forward to changing shifts to eat. I didn't wait for the meal, but I saw the sentry horse sent out galloping back, shouting as he ran: "Quick! Sekijo! The Khitans are here! ”

"What did he say?" The soldier who said this actually heard it clearly, but he didn't quite believe it. What festivals did the Khitans have with us? Back then, they fought side by side together, and they were brothers.

The comrade next to him changed his face and said in a lost voice: "Damn! Broken! Quick, report all heads! Sekijo! Sekijo! ”

The police information was quickly conveyed to the two heads of the city garrison, and probably no one expected the Khitans to suddenly attack, so both of them were a little at a loss. But the tradition of the Western Army is that the soldiers come to block, and the water comes to cover the earth, since the killing is coming, then send someone Pegasus to report the news, and then close the mén, and go to the city to fight.

So, two hundred foot soldiers poured into the city, and those with bows and arrows took their bows, and those without bows grabbed their swords, and they were still lined up on the head of the city in an orderly manner! Both of them gathered together and looked to the north.

The Liao army is coming so fast! As soon as the sentry horse entered the city, and not long after the big mén was closed, the Khitan vanguard Ma army appeared on the outskirts of Jinsu City. There were not many people and horses, and hundreds of them died, and they didn't come close, so they ran around the city, spying on the reality and reality. At this time, these two hundred Yan Yan infantry soldiers have not panicked, and the Western Army has done less to defeat the strong with the weak, and to defeat more with less?

"Wang Dutou, our troops are not enough to defend it, and this time we are trapped in Jinsu." One of them said to his comrades.

The king was older, put a fan yang hat on his head, tied a belt, and said with some complaints: "Originally, the army has been stationed, and all the equipment has also arrived, this toss, damn, has hurt us!" Chengdu, I think this is strange, don't be in a hurry later, let's see what the Khitan people want to do. ”

"What else can I do? It's not here to eat and drink. Chengdu said coldly. We were supposed to maintain law and order, except for the knife in our waist, the gun in our hand, and dozens of bows, we could only use our heads to hit the Khitans. ”

The head of the king also sneered: "You have to hit your head, the Liao army attacked suddenly, and you can't run away." It's just that this thing is too evil, when did we fall out with the Khitans again? ”

"It's not our business." As he spoke, he looked around. The ditch in front of the city was wide, and the height of the head of the city was enough, so it could have been a battle, but the troops were too small and the equipment was seriously insufficient. If the Liao army is surrounded on all sides, then only the ability to parry will not be able to fight back.

Wang Dutou also felt that this was redundant, so he shut up, took a bow from the hand of the soldier next to him, and pulled the string.

At this moment, the Liao army arrived. The Liao army has been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, fighting some city-states, tribes and the like, and the emphasis is on fast horses to decide the winner, the morning and the evening, and the quick victory. So their cavalry was extremely brave, but the infantry was almost meaningless.

Look at the Liao soldiers, a swarm of swarms over, at first glance you thought it was overwhelming, but in fact, it was just a làng head, and it was over after the fight, and there was no follow-up. But just by visual inspection, the people and horses coming from the other side have to go up by 5,000 to say the least.

The Liao army pressed over and lined up outside the bow and crossbow, and the cavalry kept pressing on the side and did not move. The two heads of the city are also mobilized before the battle, and they will never tell the soldiers that they will definitely die this time, only that the commander will land the city on our brothers, no matter who commits it, we will fight with our lives, and the city is in the people.

There was a commotion outside the city, and when I looked closely, I didn't see any large siege equipment, but I saw a few ladders. Look at it like this, the ** is from the Heqing Army, the road is close, and even the guys are taking it with them.

After a while, the Liao army finished arraying, and did not attack, but rushed out with three horsemen, running to the front of the trench under the city with a flag, and one of them shouted to the city: "The guard will come out to answer!" ”

The two looked at each other, and the elder Wang Dutou leaned out from between the teeth: "I am the guard of this city, who are you waiting for, dare to come to my city?" ”

"Gossip, our army was ordered to come to receive Jinsu and open the city quickly!" The Liao general below shouted.

As soon as Wang Dutou heard this, he immediately said to Chengdu Tou next to him: "Why do I sound familiar with this?" ”

Chengdu Tou still laughed: "We are used to saying this in the Western Army, and this time it comes out of other people's mouths, so it is naturally familiar." ”

The head of the king immediately shouted to the city: "We are also ordered to garrison this city, and if you want to receive it, you must ask our governor." ”

The Liao general under the city heard that the other party was entertaining him, and was furious: "You don't know if you are dead or alive!" Our army has the intention to let you live, but you don't know what to do! Waiting for ......"

Before he finished speaking, his companion next to him stopped him, and the man then shouted: "Brother Yan Yanjun in the city, your court is treacherous and is an enemy of my Great Liao. This time, our army was ordered to seize Jinsu as a warning! We have learned that your main force has long since withdrawn, and that the forces in the city are insignificant. If the battle starts, the result is undoubted. ”

Hearing this, neither of them could laugh anymore. Originally, I wanted to talk big and scare the enemy, but now people know their details clearly, what else do they say?

"However, the Western Army used to fight side by side with us back then, and your Xu Xuanfu is also a person respected by our Chief Manager Xiao. Therefore, our lord will not want to harm your life, and allow you to open the city and surrender, as long as you come out of the city, our army promises not to kill! After disarming, if you are willing to go back, our army will not stop you! This is already the end of benevolence and righteousness, and I advise the brothers of the Western Army not to resist stubbornly, and the wives and children at home are still relying on mén to look forward to it. ”

This is obviously not a general, and every word is on the point. The defenders of Yanyan in the city did not know him, and this person had visited Xu Wei on behalf of Xiao Duolu in Xingyuan Mansion and told the Liao army that he would use troops against Jin, and Xu Wei told him lightly, Jin Su, I want it. This person's surname is Shen Mingzhi, and his appearance here shows that this operation was not directly instructed by Xiao Duolu.

With the strength of the Liao army, knowing the reality in the city, it is easy to capture Jinsu, and it is effortless! However, the Liao army persuaded them to surrender before the war, and promised not to kill, and could even be disarmed and returned, which shows that Xiao Duolu did not want to control the situation within a limited range. This is a fear of Xu Wei, a fear of the Western Army, or a reluctance to tear up the skin of the Great Song Dynasty and fight hard, then it is unknown.

Both of them did not respond, because the more they talked, the faster their morale collapsed. The Liao army already knows the truth and reality in the city, and as the other party said, the result of the fight is no suspense.

"What do you say?" Wang Dutou looked at his comrades and asked.

"The two of us were ordered to garrison the city, and when this happened, it was only natural that we would die. But...... Victory or defeat is already predestined, we will die when we die, what is the sin of the soldiers? Fight this senseless battle? Our two heads can be exchanged for the lives of these two hundred brothers, do you think my brother is worth it? Chengdu asked the head.
