Chapter 17 New Year's Coin Handover

Wu Ji's words are very reasonable, and Mrs. Zheng and the others can't help but be overjoyed when they think about it. Yelu Hongji even endured such a thing as the defeat of Xiongzhou, will he still mobilize the army because of the robbery of the New Year's coin? Definitely not!

The loss of the year's coin is a big deal, but it is nothing compared to the defeat of Xiongzhou. You must know that the defeat of Xiongzhou was the most painful defeat in the history of Liao, Yelu Hongji even endured this, what else could he not bear?

As for why Yelu Hongji endured it, instead of raising a large army to invade the territory, Zheng Tai and the others did not understand the reason, but Wu Ji knew, it seems that the Liao State has made significant progress in the development of this weapon. However, Wu Ji knows more about this kind of weapon, and when the conditions of Wu's military industry are ripe, he can still develop it, not to mention, the weapon he developed will definitely be more powerful than that of Liao.

"Good! We're going to rob the year! Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao shouted in unison, and the voices of the three of them were very high, as if they were screaming, and the green tendons on their necks were prominent: "I have long wanted to fight the idea of the New Year's coin, but the New Year's coin is too much to do and I haven't done it!" Now, at last, there is this great opportunity, and you must not miss it! ”

Although the annual coin is only 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk, it is nothing to the strong economy of the Song Dynasty. But it was a symbol of shame, and who could bear it? There are many people who have the idea of New Year's coins, but the matter is too important to dare to do it.

No one will miss an opportunity if they have the opportunity.

"I plan to wait for the New Year's coins to enter the Liao Realm before I do it. In this way, Da Song will be able to speak better. Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said his plan.

"That's for sure!" Mrs. Zheng immediately agreed: "If you rob the New Year's coins in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State will speak with this weight, although you are not afraid, but it is also troublesome." If he made a move in Liao, Yelu Hongji would not be able to blame the Great Song Dynasty anyway. ”

"We want to choose a good place, to be easy to set up an ambush, but also to be easy to fight, so that we can retreat!" Huangfu Song immediately came up with an idea.

The New Year's coin is escorted by the Liao army, and if there is no good place, it is really a bit troublesome. If it's just a simple robbery coin, you only need to kill and disperse the Liao army. The problem is that Wu Ji is going to use these Liao troops escorting the New Year's coins as whetstones, so that the Guixin army can fight a battle, and after training and training, he must choose a good battlefield.

After the battle, the converted army had to withdraw, and the converted army at that time would have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of silk silks, and a lot of baggage, so it was inevitable to find a place that was convenient for retreating.

It is also necessary to take into account the reinforcements of the Liao State, if the reinforcements of the Liao State arrive, they must be able to block and retreat calmly. This place is very difficult to choose.

"Are you thinking that this place is hard to choose?" Qi Dabao looked at Wu Ji and the others: "Hehe! I'll tell you, I've chosen this place a long time ago! Over here! ”

Qi Dabao pointed his finger on the map and explained to Wu Ji and the others: "The terrain here is not complicated, but it is the most favorable. This place is a crossing, narrow and long, and every time the Liao dog escorts the New Year's coin, it passes through here. We set up an ambush here, and we only need to occupy the high mountains on both sides to suppress the Liaogou. If you block the two ends again, the Liao dog will become a turtle in the urn, and there will be no escape. At that time, we will set up a battle with Liaogou to test our combat strength! ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture and explained the terrain here clearly, Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, and Huangfu Song couldn't help but nod their heads and praised in unison.

"This place, I don't need to survey it, I've passed there many times, and I won't go wrong with my eyes closed." Qi Dabao rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "What's more, it's only a little more than a day's journey from Song Realm, it's easy to go in the past, and it's easy to come back." If there is a problem, we can retreat immediately. ”

"Good! That's it! "Qi Dabao's words, Wu Ji can be trusted, and he immediately makes a decision.

"Hey, hey! I originally wanted to perform martial arts, but I left, but I didn't expect that I would still participate in such a big event! Mrs. Zheng's face was full of red light, and she said with a smile: "Entering the Liao Realm to fight, the Great Song Dynasty has not carried out it for decades!" There has always been only Liao dogs to invade the territory, but there is no such thing as the army of the Great Song Dynasty going deep into the Liao border to fight. ”

"Master Zheng, let's go! Here, none of your business! Wu Ji had a playful look on his face and couldn't stop waving.

"That's it! This is our conversion to the army, what does it have to do with you, Lord Zheng? Huangfu Song also joined the ridicule.

"That's true! Master Zheng, you can really go! You're going to have to leave sooner or later, it's better to leave early than to go late! Qi Dabao couldn't stop waving his hand, looking like he wanted Mrs. Zheng to leave immediately.

"Who said the Converts had nothing to do with me?" Mrs. Zheng was a little angry, and her voice turned high: "If I don't give you a letter of return, can you train with peace of mind?" If I hadn't given you advice, would you have been able to understand the past and train to be such a cavalryman? Can there be a strange knife hand? It's not that I, Mrs. Zheng, love to show merit, it's really you who cross the river and tear down the bridge, which makes people angry! Such a grand event, I was not allowed to participate, don't think about it! ”

"Haha!"

Wu Ji, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao couldn't help but laugh when they saw Mrs. Zheng's angry look in their eyes.

xxxxxx Xiongzhou, after several months of reconstruction, almost restored to the old view, people come and go, lively and extraordinary. In the first battle of Xiongzhou, Xiongzhou was almost destroyed, but only a few months have passed, and Xiongzhou has almost recovered, which is really amazing, who called the Song Dynasty has an amazing recovery ability?

The Song army on the city wall patrolled, looking at the merchants coming in and out, and couldn't help but be very happy. If in the past, you would see the arrogant Khitans from time to time, and now there are still many Khitans who come to do business, but they are no longer as high-eyed and low-minded as before, and they don't take the Song people in their eyes.

In the first battle of Xiongzhou, the Liao State suffered a heavy defeat, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the Khitan people, and the originally arrogant Khitans did not dare to be as arrogant as before. The Song people, on the other hand, are full of confidence, and when they see the Khitan people, they always inevitably ridicule them.

If in the past, only the Khitan people ridiculed the Song people, where would it be the turn of the Song people to ridicule the Khitans. If you don't ridicule, it's enough, a ridicule is so gratifying, the Song army didn't do this kind of thing, and when they met the Khitans, they would say, "Liao dog, do you dare to violate the border?" If you dare to violate the realm, grandpa will definitely let you fail a few more times! ”

When the Khitans heard this, they could only pretend not to hear it and hurried away. Seeing the Khitans leave as if they were fleeing, the Song army was overjoyed.

There are many houses in Xiongzhou City, which are lined up one after another, and they are completely new, and it is not long before they are repaired. The resilience of the Song Dynasty is amazing, in just a few months, the entire Xiongzhou City is lined with houses, if you don't know the reason, you can't imagine that there was a big war here last year, and I thought it was a newly built city.

In Wang Shao's marshal mansion, Wang Shao was discussing with generals such as Zhou Wei and Lin Hong.

"Bang!"

Wang Shao's right fist slammed on the table, his eyebrows were upside down, and he scolded loudly: "Last year's war, the Great Song Dynasty won such a big battle, and he still wants to give Liao Dog New Year's coins, it's annoying to think about it!" ”

At the time of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Song Liao made peace, and the Song Dynasty gave 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 silk silks to the Liao State every year. Although the Song people were unwilling, they could bear it.

However, after the "Chongxi increase coin", the year coin became "Nagong", the saying that the Song and Liao brothers no longer existed, the Song Dynasty was one class shorter, the Liao State was one class higher, and the Song Dynasty paid the New Year's coin to the Liao State, which was a matter of course.

Who can endure such an insult? However, the Liao State was powerful, the Song Dynasty was weak, and the Song Dynasty had to endure it if it couldn't bear it.

In the battle of Xiongzhou last year, the Song Dynasty won a big victory, which made the Song Dynasty's confidence rise sharply, but in the end, it was still inevitable to lose the New Year's coin. This thing makes people angry when they think about it, not to mention, the handover of the New Year's coin is in Xiongzhou, right under Wang Shao's nose, can Wang Shao not be angry and slap the table?

"Wang Shumi, it's better for us to rob the year's coins!" Zhou Wei rolled up his sleeves and said out loud: "Yelu Hongji can endure the defeat of Xiongzhou, and he will definitely be able to endure the loss of the New Year's coin!" We changed our costumes, pretended to be Qiyun Society, and went to rob the New Year's coin, so that Yelu Hongji could not find the murderer. ”

This is a good idea, and it immediately attracted a chorus: "Not bad! Not bad! Wang Shumi, you just let us do it once! First, we must not let the New Year's coins fall into the hands of Liaogou! ”

"Heist coins?" Wang Shao raised his eyebrows, a pair of eyes burst into light, and he stood up violently, pressing his right hand on the hilt of the sword, breathing heavily, like a panting cow.

I have to say that the matter of robbing the New Year's coin is very attractive to him, and he can't wait to do it right away.

"The king's privy council, the person who picked up the New Year's coins from the Liao State has arrived." A soldier came in to report it.

"That's it! That's it! Wang Shao waved his hand, sat down, and said, "Even if you want to rob the New Year's coin, you must prepare early, Liaogou has already arrived, and it is too late." ”

That's right, the matter of robbing the New Year's coin is very important, and it is necessary to prepare in advance, survey the route in and out, and choose the ambush location. The Liao army has arrived, and even if Wang Shao wants to do it, he has no chance and has to give up.

"How did these Liao dogs come from so early? There are still five days left before the handover of the New Year's coin! Zhou Wei was a little strange.

"That's because Liaogou was afraid that we would rob the New Year's coins, so he came to pick up the New Year's coins a few days in advance, and didn't give us time to prepare." Wang Shao saw through Yelu Hongji's intentions at a glance.

As soon as they mentioned the robbery of the New Year's coins, the Liao army arrived, wasn't their intention obvious?

"Let them in!" Wang Shao waved his hand and said, "Just let the leading generals come in, and Liaogou will let them stay outside the city!" Don't give them a single firewood, don't give them a mouthful of water, don't give them a grain of grain, send 10,000 troops to surround them, and prepare for war! ”

"Great!" Zhou Wei was overjoyed and screamed: "Wang Shumi, are you going to kill Liaogou?" ”

"If Liaogou gives me a chance, I don't mind killing them!" Wang Shao waved his hand, and Zhou Wei went happily.

Zhou Wei mobilized 10,000 Song troops and surrounded the Liao army, deniing food, drink, or firewood, which was equivalent to putting the 3,000 Liao army under house arrest.

If in the past, when the Liao army arrived to pick up the New Year's coins, the Song Dynasty would have to treat it like waiting for its ancestors, not to mention the good food and drink, the Liao army would also do evil for bandits in the city of Xiongzhou, and there would be endless robberies and disturbances to the people.

Like today, the Liao army was put under house arrest for the first time in decades!
