The struggle is a foregone conclusion, and any further elaboration will be futile.

After a few words of conversation with Qin Han again, and all the details of the fight were confirmed, Luo Kaixian patted the duke's neck lightly, and the spiritual horse king began to retreat in small steps, while his eyes were staring at all the actions of the Song people for a moment, and with it was the long knife handle he held tightly in his hand, and the wooden face without the slightest expression.

The purpose is naturally to prevent the other party from suddenly changing his mind and ordering his subordinates to launch a surprise attack, although he is not very worried that this Qin Han will disregard decency, but for the first time he has a direct contact with a high-level person in this era, in front of people and things he doesn't understand, he will never give his trust to anyone.

The reason is very simple, Qin Han recorded in the "history books" was a loyal and brave eunuch general, but who can judge that he is a person who keeps his promises?

At least Luo Kaixian didn't want to take this risk.

Because of the accumulated psychological knowledge, he saw cruelty, cold-bloodedness and treachery in the eyes of the eunuch general Qin Han in front of him, which was more profound than that of a professional soldier with more than ten years of military career. After realizing this, he suddenly realized that although the form of warfare in later generations was different from that of this era, there was no difference in the essence of some things.

For example, the cruelty of war, and the weirdness of scheming, if the former is not lacking in cognition, the latter is not a field that he is familiar with......

Obviously, in front of the high-level figure of the Song Kingdom in front of him, just like facing the founding veteran he had faced in later generations, he Luo someone's past didn't seem to be worth mentioning - how could this not make him vigilant?

Corresponding to his vigilance, Qin Han also slowly retreated opposite him, looking up at him from time to time, his somewhat cloudy eyes flashing with admiration and doubt.

The rest of the time was a buffer for each side to choose their own men, and there was an eerie calm on the long street, which was lined with houses to the left and right, and the crowd had thinned out, but there were still brave men standing and watching, whispering to each other and whispering what they had seen.

These people were inconspicuous, but neither Luo Kaixian nor Qin Han ordered anyone to drive them away.

Without him, Luo Kaixian knew that these ordinary people represented public opinion, and he needed to spread the matter with the help of their tongues, while Qin Han knew that the people in the capital were complicated, and even he, a person who had won the emperor's favor, could not act rashly.

Without further ado, Luo Kai returned to his own camp first, that is, next to the "fortress" surrounded by a large red lacquered coffin, and the first person to greet him was Grace, who was as habitually wooden-faced as him.

"General, please go to war!"

“…… Good! Luo Kaixian pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "There are a total of twenty people, you can choose each person, except for the iris shield, spear, and straight knife, the rest of the blades are of your choice!" ”

And Glass's mixed-race face was slightly moved, and asked, "General, can you also use a crossbow?" Don't need to hide the Song people? ”

"There is no need to hide it...... Luo Kaixian replied in a deep voice: "This Qin Han is the commander of the Song State, and the people who send him to fight must be elite experts, how can the lives of new weapons matter?" Tell the people you choose, don't leave your hands behind! ”

"You don't have to keep your hands ...... Will the Lord your will be...... Can you kill them? And Glass confirmed. It's true that this Greek-Persian guy is a martial idiot, but he is also one of the best warriors under Luo Kaixian.

Luo Kaixian nodded lightly, changed his Latin and whispered: "Although I don't want this land to shed too much blood, in order to avoid greater trouble, the necessary deterrence must not be less, and Glass, you are the sharpest spear in my hand, right?" ”

And Glass raised his right hand and struck it heavily on the armor on his left chest, "Yes, Lord! I am the sharpest spear in your hand! ”

After the respectful etiquette, and Glass went to shout loudly, and Luo Kaixian didn't have to interfere with this trivial matter, and his eyes were still crowded outside the walls of Yang Jingzong's courtyard, and he saw a face that shouldn't have appeared here next to a large red lacquered coffin.

"Brother Changpu, why are you here?"

“…… Brother Xian, no, General Luo, you have done a great job! The person who suddenly appeared was Zhang Xian and Zhang Changpu, the Cangcao scribe of the Sansi Yamen of the Song Kingdom, he was not as relaxed as when he talked to Luo Kaixian the night before, but frowned, and his originally wise eyes flashed with panic, fear and anxiety.

"Brother Changpu thinks that a certain act is abrupt?" Luo Kaixian asked casually. Compared with Zhang Xian, who has a complicated expression, his state as a party seems to be extremely calm and calm.

Zhang Xian saw that Luo Kaixian was not annoyed by his accusations, the expression on his face relaxed slightly, and he said eagerly: "Please don't blame Zhang for talking nonsense...... Although Zhang is only a scribe in the three divisions, he is not a blind person, and he also knows that there are more than 100,000 forbidden troops stationed within 30 miles of the Bianjing City, in addition to the Xiang army and the city guards...... I just don't know why the general is so unwise? ”

"Unwise?" Luo Kaixian listened to Zhang Xian's words with great interest, and then jumped off the horse, and asked solemnly: "Please also tell Brother Changpu, what is wisdom?" What is foolishness? ”

"......" Zhang Xianmu stared blankly at Luo Kaixian's cold face, that face was still as calm and deep as the night before, it was obvious that this tall man did not lose his mind with red eyes and anger as he imagined, listening to Luo's question, he didn't know how to answer.

Luo Kaixian didn't expect Zhang Xian to give any answer, and after a while, he asked himself and replied: "Wisdom or stupidity, but relatively speaking, as Brother Changpu said, it is unwise for Luo to lead the crowd into this Bianjing City to punish the villains. ”

A few days ago, if it weren't for Cui Shibalang leading people to protect him, Zhang Xian's daughter would have been insulted by Yang Jingzong, how could he not be annoyed in his heart? Listening to Luo Kaixian's statement, he glanced at Yang Jingzong, who was still humming and chirping not far away, with disgust, and said with a frown: "It is indeed the right thing to punish the villains, however, this is where the capital is located, and the villains are at fault, and the king should punish them, not ...... By the general, you have the courage to make a move......"

Luo Kaixian hooked the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and patted the side of Zhang Xian's shoulder twice, "Brother Changpu's words are grandiose and true, and they are indeed right, but ...... Nearly six days after the incident, where is the person who presides over the royal law? I heard that Brother Changpu also sought a complaint from Kaifeng Mansion Yin, but someone came forward to respond? When will these evildoers be punished? ”

This passage is simple and easy to understand, but Zhang Xianmu has a wooden face but can't say a word.

Iron needs to be struck while it is hot, Luo Kaixian deliberately recruited this person, and continued: "Yang Jingzong is the brother-in-law of Emperor Song, that is, someone in the Song court wants to punish him, how can Emperor Song allow it?" Therefore, what Brother Changpu said is nothing but a nihilistic thought, according to what Brother said, Yang Jingzong and his people will not be punished for the crime (1), and there will be no danger to their lives! ”

Almost every sentence in Luo Kaixian's words has the word "Song", Zhang Xian heard it very awkwardly, but he couldn't refute it, after all, this Luo is not a citizen of the Song Kingdom, what can he do? Moreover, the content of Luo Kaixian's words is heart-wrenching, as an old official in the Yamen of the Third Division, he has the intention to refute, and he can only sigh after all.

Looking at Zhang Xian, who had a tangled expression on his face, Luo Kai said calmly: "Brother Changpu, since the time you were engaged, your Zhang family has been involved, and it is really difficult to get rid of it...... The daughter of the brother is gentle and pleasant, and she also saw it a few days ago, and now she is happy with Eighteen Lang, which is really a rare and beautiful thing...... If Brother Congchang wants to settle things, unless he marries his daughter and Yang Jingzong...... Dare to ask Brother Changpu if he is willing to do it? ”

"A certain person will not sell a woman for glory!" Annoyed and anxious, Zhang Xian's heart blurted out the words, and after roaring, his eyes were much clearer, he was calm, and he still whispered unwillingly: "The princes of the court will not allow Yang Jingzong to act in vain......"

"Brother Changpu's words are suspected of covering his ears and stealing the bell......" Luo Kaixian couldn't help but tease.

"......" Hearing Luo Kaixian's rare words with emotion, Zhang Xian grinned silently and smiled bitterly, but he relaxed a lot, and followed Luo's gaze to look at the busy preparation of Grass and his party, and couldn't hold back his mind and asked, "Something is unknown...... The general attaché is not more than a hundred, but the person to deal with is the emperor's brother-in-law, this person is involved in a wide range of auspicious numbers, Zhang does not know the art of war, and it has also been heard that a general must be good at choosing fighters, like the general is so eager...... Why? ”

Luo Kai first looked left and right at the guards who were wearing equipment, and then looked at the Song team two hundred meters away, and then calmly answered: "This Bianjing City has gathered many people, including Tibetans, Uighurs, and Khitans...... Merchants, envoys, oh, there should be secret spies, most of these people are well-informed, if they think that Lingzhou people are bullied and swallow their anger...... How did a certain command of more than 100,000 people gain a foothold in Lingzhou? ”

"Lingzhou is more than a thousand miles away...... It won't be that serious...... "Zhang Xian is not a granary Cao Wen, and he is not proficient in state affairs, so he said this not so much to comfort Luo Kaixian, but even to believe it.

Luo Kaixian didn't pay attention to Zhang Xian's words at all, and said to himself: "The next two years are the key to my Lingzhou's recuperation, I don't worry about the war, but I don't want to pay attention to the trivial matters from outside, because of the war or danger, but it can help sharpen the sergeant, but the complexity of the outside will disrupt the major events of my Lingzhou's life!" Outsiders must not be allowed to disturb them, and during this time, whoever dares to offend must be careful with their heads! ”

"I once heard that there are clouds in the soldiers, they are not durable, and they are easy to break ......," Zhang Xian couldn't help but remind.

Luo Kaixian shook his head, "What Brother Changpu said is the usual situation, and you need to know that things are different, and people are also different!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Xian was a little confused.

Luo Kai took a few steps first, held the saddle on the duke's back again, turned around and said softly: "The warriors are ready, the battle is about to begin, please wait and see!" ”
