Chapter 337: Flower Tower Shop (1)
I don't know if the persuasion in Wanyan Saili has worked, or if the reality has forced Puruhu to change his attitude.
When Emperor Zan entered Zhaozhou, the Jin soldiers were once again attacked by bandits, killing and wounding nearly 100 people.
Geng Yanxi was ready to be scolded, but Pu Luhu had a gentle attitude. He even ran to the Song army camp to comfort Geng Yanxi that he didn't have to care too much. Geng Yanxi was taken aback, but the mustard in his heart was also eliminated a lot.
After entering Zhaozhou, Geng Yanxi sent someone to visit Fan Na, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei.
Although Fan Na is not Geng Nanzhong's lineage, at this time, he has to be careful. After receiving Geng Yanxi's envoy, Fan Na ordered the Hebei Soldiers and Horses Marshal's Mansion to be senatorial, and Han Gongyi, the commander of the Zhaozhou Soldiers and Horses, led his troops to assist Geng Yanxi and was responsible for protecting the Jin soldiers to the north. Han Gong was born in the famous Han family in Xiangzhou, and previously served as a staff member of King Kang Zhaogou.
After the alliance of Yanshan, Han Gongyi was appointed as a senator of the Marshal's Mansion, and was recommended by Du Chong to serve as the supervisor of Xiangzhou's soldiers and horses.
However, most of the Han Gong's subordinates are village warriors, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the official army. But even so, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses, at least in terms of troops, which are enough to replenish. Geng Yanxi knocked another batch of baggage from Fan Na, which can be regarded as making up for the previous losses. After a short rest in Zhaozhou, the army re-entered the road and continued its march north......
The arrival of Xiang Yong did add a lot of convenience to Jin Bing.
After these villagers joined, they were responsible for opening the way for the Jin soldiers to ensure that the road was smooth.
It is precisely for this reason that the marching speed of the Jin soldiers has increased a lot, and although they will still be attacked by bandits along the way, the losses are relatively much reduced.
On October 15, the Jin soldiers entered Zhending.
20,000 Jin soldiers, all the way down from Xiangzhou, with more than 700 casualties, is quite acceptable.
Just after arriving in Zhending. Wang Yuan, the head of Zhending. but refused to send troops to protect it.
Geng Yanxi personally visited the door and wanted to persuade Wang Yuan to send troops, but Wang Yuan sternly refused.
"Since the king can't send anyone. Why don't you let the prince's army go out? ”
Wang Yuan sneered: "Senator Geng wants the prince to send troops to the army, so he will go to find the prince of the small race." ”
"Huh?"
Geng Yanxi was stunned when he heard this, and the little seed minister was among the seed teachers stationed in Yanshan Mansion. It stands to reason. It has nothing to do with the prince's pro-army at all, so why should you agree with the seed hunter?
Wang Yuan said: "Three days ago, the prince of the small species passed through Huang Qianshan, the deputy marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses, and recruited the prince's army to Yanshan.
Now that the prince's army has been mobilized, I can't stop it now. However, Senator Geng and Yulangjun are both working in the Marshal Mansion of Hebei Soldiers and Horses, so if you discuss it with him, you can't say that Yulangjun can change his mind for the sake of his colleagues...... Hehe, he said what he was talking about, and he didn't want the prince to go to Yanshan with his own army. Senator Geng should know. The prince's army is not sent, and wherever they want to go, they will come forward from their own homes. I can't do it. ”
Geng Yanxi listened. I can't help but complain to myself.
Persuade Yu Yin?
Don't look at him and Yuyin are colleagues, but they are not in the same system.
Yu Yin is the person of the crown prince Zhao Chen. Where can he be compared?
However, Geng Yanxi was relieved, the prince's pro-army was not really determined, and he would not cause trouble to himself if he thought about it.
After all, there is a deep hatred between the prince's army and the Jin soldiers.
The reason why the prince recruited his own soldiers was also Wanyan Saili's idea.
Jin Bing is too familiar with the prince's army!
For Yu Yin, he hates it even more.
However, on the one hand, there is hatred to the bone, and on the other hand, there is some admiration.
So Wanyan Saili came up with an idea, if he wanted to meet the prince's army, it was best to find Yu Yin and find an opportunity to kill Yu Yin.
It's just that Yuyin is not in Zhending, and Geng Yanxi has no choice.
After bidding farewell to Wang Yuan, he hurried back to the camp.
After explaining the situation to Yan Puluhu, several people discussed it and decided to set off as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
However, Wang Yuan did not agree with the Han Gong soldiers and horses to enter Zhaozhou.
In Wang Yuan's words: "Han Gongzi is not really my belonging, although Fan Xuanfu sent it, but it is only in Zhaozhou."
If the Han Gong tribe wants to pass in Jinding, it needs to be ordered by the Privy Council. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter into true concentration. ”
In this regard, although Geng Yanxi was angry, he was helpless.
After consulting with Han Gongyi, it was decided to let Han Gongyi lead his troops back to Zhaozhou.
Geng Yanxi led his troops and horses and continued to escort the Jin soldiers north. However, before leaving, Geng Yanxi visited Wang Yuan again.
"The release of the thieves and the return of the captives to their homes this time is to show me the benevolence of the Great Song Dynasty.
If there is any mistake between the Jin people, it will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the officials. Therefore, please take care of Mr. Wang, try to clear the road as much as possible, and don't let anything go wrong. ”
There was a hint of threat in these words.
Wang Yuan just smiled when he heard this, "I am really under the rule, the wind and rain are smooth, and the road is smooth."
You can only pass, and there can be no problems. But if you choke to death after eating, or choke to death by drinking water, you can't blame yourself. ”
In a word, Geng Yanxi said that his face was red.
He no longer talked nonsense with Wang Yuan, and left in a huff.
After returning to the camp, he explained the situation to Wanyan Saili and others, although the group was still a little worried, but it was a lot easier.
It is impossible for Wang Yuan to joke about his career, since he said that there will be no problem, it should not be bad to think about it.
20,000 Jin soldiers, plus thousands of Song soldiers and horses, should be able to be safe. It's just that Geng Yanxi and the others were still a little worried, and they didn't dare to speed up along the way, so they walked cautiously, and they were really scared for several days. With the large-scale entry of the Jin soldiers into Zhending, all the cities along the way were closed, and the Jin soldiers were not allowed to enter the city at all, let alone with any supplies.
If Geng Yanxi hadn't carried a large amount of grain and grass, he wouldn't have been able to even guarantee the march.
After a few days of worry, I didn't encounter any trouble.
Wanyan Puluhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would indeed be no more problems on this road......
On October 23, Jin Bing arrived at Shimenpu.
"Crossing the water in front of you, there is a flower tower...... It can be regarded as out of the border of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Wanyan Saili was relieved, and said to Geng Yanxi: "My wolf lord has sent soldiers and horses to meet us in Huatazipu. This time, we were able to return home thanks to Senator Geng's hard work along the way. If there is an opportunity, Senator Geng can also go to Beijing.
When the time comes. Let's set up wine in Shangjing. Please Senator Geng to appreciate my style in Beijing. ”
Geng Yanxi was also relieved and polite.
He was on the south bank of the river and watched the Jin soldiers cross the river. The back of going north couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's been a bit hard to get down this way.
Especially these days. I can't sleep at night, and I am worried and frightened all day long.
Sending Jin Bing safely across the water can be regarded as completing the task.
Geng Yanxi felt much more relaxed, so he turned his horse's head and said, "Camp in the military city tonight, and return to Xiangzhou after three days." ”
As for the Jin Bing?
I don't think it's a big deal.
It is said that Huatazipu is indeed infested with golden soldiers, and it is thought that it is the reinforcements of the Jurchens. Arrived.
If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you......
Phew, what else could go wrong at this time?
All is well. Or will the state hand over the order earlier. It's also a matter of letting go of a heart.
After Geng Yanxi led his troops to the military walled city, the whole person relaxed.
Night. He fell down on the couch and fell asleep.
The rush over the past few days has already exhausted Geng Yanxi.
Now that the task is complete, you can naturally sleep well, and you don't need to worry about it anymore.
The military city walled city is located on the bank of the Tang River, adjacent to Damao Mountain.
This is a small military village and an outpost in the north of the Guangxin Army. The entire military village is full of less than 100 households, and the population is no more than 800. Such a small military village naturally cannot accommodate thousands of Song troops stationed. Therefore, Geng Yanxi asked the Song army to be stationed outside the military walled city, while he himself entered the military walled city and lived in the home of the Zhizhai of the military walled city.
Compared with Geng Yanxi's residence in Xiangzhou, the residence of the military city walled Zhizhai is naturally extremely simple.
If in the past, Geng Yanxi didn't even bother to live in.
But this time I was really tired, and I fell asleep on the bed.
It's dark!
In the military walled city, there was silence.
There were thousands of Song troops stationed outside the city, and the guards in the city were much lax. In addition, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the temperature has fallen below zero at midnight, so the patrolmen are naturally reluctant to patrol outside. When the day was about to be on the second watch, two black shadows appeared outside the courtyard wall of Zhizhai Mansion. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, the two people jumped up, stepped on the wall and climbed into the wall at once.
These two people seemed to be very familiar with the Zhizhai Mansion, and if they were almost in a no-man's land, they soon came to a small building in the back house.
One of them, taking a dagger from his bosom, picked open the latch.
The other person took out a tube from his arms, came to the door of Geng Yanxi's room, and poked the tube into the room through the gap in the door curtain. She blew hard at the tube, and from the other end of the bamboo pipe, a puff of green smoke erupted.
The two of them immediately covered their mouths and noses with wet wipes, stood at the door for a while, and then dodged into the room.
After a while, two dark shadows walked out of the room, quickly left the small building, followed the original road, came to the courtyard wall, and went out, and soon disappeared into the vast night......
It's dawn!
The Zhizhai of the military city got up early in the morning and ordered his family to prepare meals.
"Has Geng Langjun ever gotten up?"
"Back in Zhizhai, in Geng Langjun's room, there is no movement, and I haven't gotten up yet."
Zhizhai showed admiration, and said to the left and right: "Geng Langjun has worked hard for state affairs...... Just wait.
By the way, tell the following, prepare the water, and Geng Langjun will get up later, and it will be good to clean his face. ”
The servant hurriedly responded, and hurried to prepare.
This military city is a person with no background.
I have been a Zhizhai in the military city for five years, but I have no way out and have not been promoted.
It's rare that Geng Yanxi is here.
Although Geng Yanxi is only a senator, he is a person with a big background.
The military city walled city knows that with the help of Geng Yanxi, he can jump out of the military walled city...... After all, he had had enough of this bitter cold place.
Sitting in the hall, thinking about how to talk to Geng Yanxi.
Suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps outside, followed by a servant girl running in with a pale face, and stammered: "Master, the big thing is not good, something has happened, something has happened!" ”
Zhizhai was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's Geng Langjun, Geng Langjun is ......"
Zhizhai shook his spirit, and suddenly had a bad thought.
He didn't even bother to ask the servant, got up and pushed the handmaid away, and ran out of the hall. Along the path, he came to the door of the small building in the back house, but saw two healthy servants standing at the door, one holding the pillar and vomiting, and the other standing at the door, his face was like dirt.
Zhizhai trembled in his heart and hurriedly rushed into the small building.
When he came to the door of the bedroom, he pushed the door open with trembling and smelled a thick smell of blood coming to his face.
Looking at it closely, the military city of the walled city was suddenly colorless.
He stood in the doorway, and when he turned around after a while, he rushed out of the small building, lay on the railing, and vomited loudly......
