Chapter 63 Five Messengers
Just when Su Chengdong led the Liaodong Army and was preparing to cross the Datong River and advance to Pyongyang, something unexpected happened.
Due to the huge casualties caused by Lu Xuan's death battle to the Liaodong Army, almost all of the 80,000 Goryeo troops were killed, and the Liaodong Army also caused more than 40,000 casualties and more than 10,000 wounded. In the face of Lu Xuan's suicidal battle, Su Chengdong fought as if he was responding to his sincerity, which was partly because of the way he paid respect to the enemy general. Of course, another reason why Su Sung-dong did this was that the end of the war also meant that the organized armed forces of Goryeo were basically wiped out, and even if there were heavy casualties, there would be no other large-scale battles other than the siege of Pyongyang.
The war resulted in more than 100,000 war dead, so it took a lot of time just to bury the bodies of the war dead. After seeing Lu Xuan's glorious death, Su Chengdong decided to bury him to pay respect, and also to express his admiration for the soldiers who died with him. For this reason, he held a solemn memorial ceremony by the Datong River, and it was also a swearing-in meeting, and after the memorial was completed, the army was ready to march to the south of the Yangtze River.
All but one of the officers of the Liaodong Army participated in this memorial, and that person was of course Wang Hanxin. Wang Hanxin was very satisfied with the killing of 80,000 Goryeo troops in World War I, but he was not happy to let him attend the ceremony to pay tribute to the opposing generals. Without hesitation of Gao Dingbian's protest that he had to bother to make up reasons for his absence, Wang Hanxin rode alone along the Datong River.
Originally, his behavior had no purpose at all, just to mix up the time of the memorial, but the scenery along the way gradually attracted his attention. Between the reins of the letter and the horse, Wang Hanxin felt the autumn wind blowing on his face. Feeling the slightest chill already rubbed in the wind, Wang Hanxin secretly decided to take Pyongyang City as soon as possible and end the war that had lasted for six years as soon as possible. What a long six years. Six years ago, Wang Hanxin was just a child of an Orion family in a small village on the border of Liaodong, but now he is a military attache of the imperial court. There's so much going on and so much being lost.
At this moment, Wang Hanxin noticed a small boat on the river heading towards the north bank. Wang Hanxin could see at a glance that this was a Korean ship, because its sailing route deliberately avoided the patrol route of the navy of the Silk Country, and the sailing method was also different from that of the Silk Country. Wang Hanxin immediately rode his horse to the place where the ship might land. Then he jumped off his horse and found a place where he could hide.
Sure enough, the ship quietly docked, put down a master and a servant, and then hurriedly turned back. The master and servant looked around, and quickly ran north.
Wang Hanxin waited for the two to get closer, and flew on his horse and rushed out. Before the two could react, Wang Hanxin kicked the servant to the ground and forced the master with the sword at his waist.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Hanxin said in Goryeo.
The man was stunned, and after hearing this, he took a deep breath and said in the Chinese language of Silk: "Here is Puduna, the envoy sent by the Prime Minister of the Goryeo Kingdom, Ayi Tribe. I was ordered to send the general of your army, Lord Su Chengdong, and asked this Lord to introduce him on his behalf. ”
Seeing that Pudu's expression was flustered, he still straightened his waist, obviously this was just a person from a civilian background, Wang Hanxin snorted and said, "In this case, you have tied yourself up, just go back to the camp with me!" ”
"How can this be true? I am an envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom. How can it be so insulted! Puduna said angrily.
Wang Hanxin tilted his head: "Yes, or I'll kill you both." How about everyone as if this didn't happen? ”
"You" Pudu's cheeks trembled with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Wang Hanxin raised his eyebrows and smiled on the horse: "If the two of you have no objections, then let's do it quickly." ”
Pudu's face flushed, looking at the tip of the sword dangling in Wang Han's novice, and finally had to whisper to the servant to tie him up.
The servant obeyed. As soon as Pudu's tie was finished, Wang Han's novice sword made him a headless corpse.
Pudu's anger said, "Why are you! Why the sudden killer! ”
"He can't tie himself up, and it's too much trouble for me to do it. It's the easiest way to do it, anyway, it's enough to report to you when it's done, isn't it? Less nonsense. Let's go. ”
In the face of such a wicked person who cares about human life, Pudu was speechless, and had no choice but to follow Wang Hanxin towards the direction of the camp.
After walking for a while, Pudua suddenly asked, "This general, I don't know what to call it?" ”
"What are you doing? You want to sue me for being black," Wang Hanxin leaned half of his body on the horse's neck and smiled: "I don't care if I sue me, Lao Tzu is the Red Tiger King Hanxin!" Have you heard of it? ”
"You are Wang Hanxin?! I've heard, I've heard. Purdue was as deflated as a ball. The person in front of him is the cannibal Red Tiger that the Goryeo Army hates to the bone but is helpless, so it is reasonable that he will be treated like this. Pudu blamed himself for his bad name, and he met such a master as soon as he went ashore.
After a short time, they came to the barracks, and at this time, the memorial and swearing-in meeting had ended, and the whole army was reorganizing and preparing to set off. When the soldiers guarding the door saw this scene, they all asked Wang Hanxin where he had caught a spy and came back. Wang Hanxin said with a hippie smile that he picked it up by the river, and went straight to Su Chengdong's camp.
When he came to the gate of the camp, Wang Hanxin dismounted, grabbed the rope on Pudu's body with one hand, and walked straight into the tent, shouting as he walked: "Deputy Du Hu Su, the last general Wang Hanxin will enter the tent to meet him!" Another envoy from Goryeo asked to see him! ”
"Come in!" At the same time as the voice in the tent sounded, Wang Hanxin had already stepped into the tent.
Su Chengdong and the generals were in the tent, and when they saw Wang Hanxin, Su Chengdong said with a calm face: "Today's memorial oath meeting, aren't you sick?" Why did this come out again? ”
Wang Hanxin glanced sideways at Gao Dingbian, who could only look up at the sky and not meet his gaze. Wang Hanxin turned around and smiled at Su Chengdong: "My lord doesn't know, the last general was originally in bed, but later he felt that his heart was hot, so he went to the riverside to blow the wind, and sure enough, it was seven or eight points." I didn't want to meet an envoy sent by Goryeo, so I introduced him here by the way. ”
Su Chengdong looked at Pudu and exclaimed, "Then why did you tie up the messenger?" ”
Before Pudu could speak, Wang Hanxin took the lead and said: "It's not the last general, it's true!" It's just that this Pudu-sama said that Goryeo has a negative kingdom, so he voluntarily tied up and apologized for his sins! Isn't it, Lord Pudu? ”
Pudu felt a mouthful of blood rush to her throat, almost spurting out. Wang Hanxin, the bastard, actually told such a big lie, but if he was more real at this time, his servant was dead, and if he wanted to prove the truth, he would have to go back to the same place, and he could still resist death and not admit it, but this time he delayed the business. At the moment, he has a more important mission, and it is not convenient to discuss this matter for the time being. At the moment, he forcibly suppressed the resentment in his chest, swallowed back the Taotao words on his lips, and said, "Yes." In the next time, I was ordered by Prime Minister A Yizhi to see Deputy Protector Su, and there were important matters to discuss. ”
"Oh?" Su Chengdong's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, nodded his hand and motioned for the generals to stand back to their original class, and then spoke: "A Yizhi's life? What is that? ”
Seeing that Su Chengdong didn't mean to loosen his bonds, Pudu's heart sank, so he had to continue: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister has entrusted me to ask your lord for peace. (To be continued......)
