Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Leader of the Qiyun Society
Whether Wu Ji is doing military industry or Wu Ji fighting, they are inseparable from Qiyun Society, and they are inextricably linked with Wu Ji. It can be said that Qi Yunshe has been of great help to Wu Ji. Without the help of Qi Yun Society, Wu Ji would not have walked so easily. When training the Converts, the Converts at that time had very poor archery skills, and Wu Ji borrowed some lessons from Qiyun Society to solve this matter.
Last year, the Liao army invaded the border, and Qi Dabao summoned hundreds of heroes from the Qiyun Society to help, otherwise, it would have been even harder. When robbing the New Year's coins, Qi Yunshe helped to find out the information and saved a lot of trouble for the Returning Army.
Although the Conversion Army also has soldiers who specialize in investigating intelligence, it is far from Qiyun Society. After all, the Qiyun Society has a great influence in the land of Yanyun, covering the entire land of Yanyun, and the personnel of the Guixin Army to inquire about intelligence are far inferior.
Anyway, meeting the leader of Qiyun Society, that's how it should be, Wu Ji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go and meet." ”
"Xie Wudu commands." Qi Dabao thanked him again and again, and took a long breath: "I'm afraid that Commander Wu Du doesn't want to see it." ”
"Qiyun Society has helped the Converts a lot, and I want to thank them in person." Wu Ji said very sincerely.
"Huh!" Qi Dabao was even more happy, and said: "Commander Wu Du, our Qiyun Club is to resist Liaogou, and everything we do is our own business, so this gratitude is not necessary." However, I am still happy when you Wu Du Commander said it. I am sure that our leaders will rejoice too. ”
Qi Dabao admired Wu Ji very much, and Wu Ji's thanks made him happy.
"This way, please!" Qi Dabao led the way in front, and Wu Ji's cavalry followed him.
The two talked as they walked. Qi Dabao was a little sorry and said, "Commander Wudu, the leader originally wanted to come over to see you." However, in that case, there will be trouble. So, I had to ask Wu Du to command the transfer. ”
The purpose of Qiyun Society is to rebel against the Liao State, and the Liao State has been looking for the leader of the Qiyun Society, and if one is not careful, it will be exposed. For safety reasons, it is advisable to show up less often.
"I understand." Wu Ji was very aware of the situation of the leader of Qi Yun Society, and he didn't care about these things.
The two of them walked about five or six miles and came to a small village, which was no different from an ordinary village. When they came to the entrance of the village, a few sturdy young men immediately came out of the pile, looking at Qi Dabao and Wu Ji vigilantly. Qi Dabao went up and said a few words, and these young people let down their guard.
Wu Ji jumped off his horse, and a young man came over, took the war horse away, and hid it in the house.
Qi Dabao took Wu Ji to an inconspicuous hut. This room is not big, not much different from Wu Ji's home in Wujiazhuang, a thatched house. There was a table in the room, a few chairs, and a middle-aged man sitting, with an average appearance, no one paid attention to it when he threw it into the pile, and his figure was not tall, and at first glance, there was no difference from ordinary people.
"This kind of appearance is best for hiding, if someone who doesn't know his details stands next to you, you won't think that he is the leader of Qiyun Society." Wu Ji glanced at this person.
This person was also looking at Wu Ji, and his eyes flashed, as bright as stars. Wu Ji's heart tightened, this is a master, a hidden person.
The man stood up, gave a salute, and said, "I've seen Wu Du commanding." ”
"Can you give me a high name?" Wu Ji returned the salute.
"This ...... Commander Wu Du, you know the situation below, please forgive me. It's okay for you to call me Yanshanke. This person raised his eyebrows and refused to report his surname: "Commander Wu Du, it's not that you don't trust you, but that one less person knows how much danger you have." It is not only the Liao dog that is looking for it, but also the imperial court. ”
"The Imperial Court?" Wu Ji was a little surprised.
"Huh!" Yan Shanke let out a burst of laughter and said, "If it weren't for that, how could the official family blame our Qiyun Society for robbing your New Year's coins?" ”
It was obviously the year's coin of the military robbery, but the Song Dynasty let out the wind and said that Qi Yunshe did it. Wu Ji originally thought that it was Song Shenzong's suspicious array, but it seems that there is another hidden situation here, and this Qiyun Society is not small.
"Commander Wu Du can rest assured, as long as we don't kill officials and rebel, the officials will not trouble us." Seeing Wu Ji frowning, Yanshan Ke said bluntly, "Otherwise, how can our Qiyun Society gain a foothold in the Song Realm." You know that in the Song Realm, Qi Yun Society can do things in a righteous and bright way, but in the Liao Realm, it can't be in the name of Qi Yun Society. ”
Wu Ji understood that although Qiyun Society had a great influence in the land of Yanyun, in Liaojing, he could not do things in the name of Qiyun Society, and he had to change his appearance. Their purpose is to resist the Liao State, and of course the Liao State will not let them exist, and they will fight and destroy it.
"You may be seated!" Yanshan invited Wu Ji to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Wu Ji, and said, "This time, I asked Wu Du to command the transfer, which is really a last resort. Speaking of which, the intersection time between our Qiyun Society and Wu Du Commander is not short, almost a year. In this year, Wu Du commanded that he was constantly surprised, first to exterminate the Liufeng thieves, and then to defeat Liaogou, robbing a year's coin, and now, he is going to attack Liaogou's horse farm. ”
"Hmm!" Wu Ji looked at Qi Dabao.
Qi Dabao was a little helpless: "Wu Du commanded, I didn't say it." However, our chief does not need to say it to guess. ”
"Huh!" Yan Shanke laughed heartily: "Commander Wu Du, don't blame him." When it comes to familiarity with the land of Yanyun, who can compare to me? What Liao Dog has in the land of Yanyun, I know very well. Here can let Wu Du command personally take risks, except for Laishui's war horses, there will be no other. ”
Yan Shanke is the leader of the Qiyun Society, and when it comes to understanding the land of Yanyun, there is really no one who knows it better than him. A person who has been fighting with Liao for so many years, Liao Guo has no choice but to deal with him, and his talent can be imagined. If you can't guess it, it will make people incomprehensible, and when you think about it like this, Wu Ji will be relieved.
"Wu Du commands, I'll be blunt." Yan Shanke didn't have any extra compliments, and went straight to the point: "I asked Commander Wu Du to move this time, just to discuss with Commander Wu Du how to stir up the land of Yanyun." ”
What a big breath! Wu Ji's eyes flashed, and he said: "In the land of Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have been fighting for hundreds of years, but there are no storms and waves, are you talking about it?" ”
"Haha!" Yan Shanke laughed: "We have wanted to do this for a long time, but no one can believe it." We see what Wu Du has done, and we can trust Wu Du's people. Before Wu Du commanded, our Qiyun Society and Yang Yanzhao had done things together, and at that time, Yang Liulang's name frightened Liao Dog. ”
Yang Yanzhao guards the three passes, that is, guards Xiongzhou, and there is still a war road in Xiongzhou, which still exists today. Yang Yanzhao is good at fighting, and he has no temper in Liao, and Liaoguo is afraid of him.
"Oh." Wu Ji didn't expect that Qi Yunshe would also work with Yang Yanzhao, but he was very surprised, and raised his eyebrows.
"Hey!" Yan Shanke sighed, shook his head, and said, "Although Yang Yanzhao is good at fighting, he is not as good as Wu Du's command. He mainly guards Xiongzhou, focuses on a word, and has built dozens of miles of war roads, as long as Liaogou does not violate the border, he will not fight Liaogou. The commander of Wu Du was different, he would not wait for the Liao dog to come to attack in Guixin City, but led the army into the Liao border to attack, which was the first time in the history of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Since the failure of Song Taizong's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty has hardly carried out a major attack on the territory of Liao, and Wu Ji's move is really abnormal, unlike any Song Dynasty general, not even Yang Yanzhao.
"It's over. I just thought, Liao Dog can come to the Great Song Dynasty, why can't the Great Song Dynasty violate the Liao Realm? If Liaogou can come, I can go. Wu Ji waved his hand.
"Well said! If Liaogou can come, I can go. In the words of an old ancestor, it is called: Kou can go, I can also go! Yan Shanke gave a thumbs up and was full of praise.
Immediately afterwards, he said with great regret: "It's a pity that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of ambition has been lacking. Thinking of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were rampant, pressing the Han Dynasty for decades, and it was even stronger than the Liaogou today, but the Han Wu had such ambitions and finally defeated the Xiongnu. Thinking that Tang Taizong, he was humiliated by the Turks twice and vowed to be ashamed, so Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and captured Jieli Khan alive! Today's Great Song Dynasty lacks this kind of pride. Fortunately, the official family still has this heart! ”
Tang Taizong was humiliated by the Turks twice. The first time was when Taiyuan raised troops, starting from the overall situation, he had to pay tribute to the Turks, temporarily in exchange for peace in the rear. The second time was after the Xuanwumen Incident, when he had just ascended the throne, Jieli Khan led 100,000 iron horsemen straight down to Guanzhong, drank Ma Weishui, and wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, Tang Taizong was courageous, went to the front line in person, and put on a posture of fighting to the death, which made Jieli Khan jealous and did not dare to go to war, and finally made a covenant and had to retreat, and finally gained nothing.
And Tang Taizong regarded these two incidents as a great shame, and was determined to wash away the shame and actively prepare for war. In the end, when he had the opportunity, he decisively dispatched troops, and Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and took the Eastern Turks to a pot.
The Song Dynasty was very wealthy, and its economic strength far exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty, and some of it was silver; With a population of more than 100 million, some are people, and some are talents, but there is no determination that I can go.
Han Gaozu Liu Bang was almost captured alive by Maodun, the Turks went to Weishui, and finally they were brought back, the Han Dynasty beat the Xiongnu to the point of extinction, and the Tang Dynasty almost wiped out the Turks, if it weren't for the Ottoman group to flee to Turkey.
The Han and Tang dynasties were able to turn defeat into victory because they were determined to take revenge!
The Song Dynasty did not have this kind of determination, which is suffocating.
"Well said!" Wu Ji's understanding of the Song Dynasty is getting deeper and deeper, and the Song Dynasty has a common problem, that is, not many people want to take the initiative, and even fewer people dare to do it.
Yan Shanke didn't expect that Wu Ji, the commander of the capital, not only did not defend the Song Dynasty, but agreed, a little surprised, looked at Wu Ji a few times, it didn't seem to be a fake, and then said: "Commander Wu Du wants to go deep into the Liao realm and train more to return to the faith army, right?" ”
"Not bad!" Wu Ji nodded heavily and admitted directly.
"When it comes to understanding the Liao Realm, no one will know better than our Qiyun Society. If Commander Wu Du is willing, we can do it together. We, Qiyun Club, are responsible for providing the news, and you can do it. Together, let's stir up the land of Yanyun! Yan Shanke's right hand was clenched into a fist, too hard, and the back of his hand was a little blue.
