The official residence of the envoy, the study. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Tingzhi didn't have much expression on his face, and there were several documents in front of him.

Wu Shaogang and Lu Xiufu stood opposite each other, and there was not much expression on their faces.

"Vice General Wu, this time Lu Xiufu accompanied you to Zhenzhou, Kublai Khan's envoy Hao Jing, three days later will enter the territory of Zhenzhou, according to the information obtained from the investigation, Hao Jing accompanied a total of seventy-five people, of which the Mongolian Tartars are estimated to have about fifty people, responsible for protecting Hao Jing's safety, most of the rest are followers, your task is to launch a surprise attack when Hao Jing enters the territory of Zhenzhou, and destroy the Mongolian mission in one fell swoop, but you have to remember that Hao Jing himself must be captured alive. . .

Zhenzhou is located between Jiankang Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion, is the first city after Hao Jing entered the Song Dynasty, and chose to start in Zhenzhou, which can be described as the best decision, on the one hand, the whereabouts of the Mongolian envoys have not been completely dispersed, and on the other hand, it can also prevent Hao Jing from spreading news along the way.

However, Hao Jing accompanied a total of 75 people, including 50 Mongolian Tatars, and his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Wu Fanhui and his men only had thirty men, and if they wanted to defeat fifty Mongol Tatars and twenty-five retinues, they needed to make precise arrangements.

This is not an ordinary battle, it is necessary to keep it secret, and to ensure the completion of the task of detaining the Mongol envoy and preventing the leakage of information, both of which are indispensable, that is, Wu Shaogang's actions are top secret and cannot be known to the outside world.

Anyone who encounters such a task will have a headache.

Wu Shaogang had already thought clearly, this task was a big trap for him, or he Wu Shaogang had become a victim of the imperial court.

Successfully completed the task, exterminated the Mongol mission, captured Hao Jing alive, and may keep it secret for a while, but sooner or later the news will leak, and when the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan takes the opportunity to make trouble, the court is likely to sell him in exchange for Kublai Khan's peace of mind.

If he can't successfully complete the task and the news leaks out, then his Wu Shaogang's end will be even worse, and the court may even directly sacrifice him to Kublai Khan.

In other words, whether it is victory or defeat, Wu Shaogang is in danger.

If he were someone else, he would have fled a long time ago, and it would be a big deal to abandon the glory and wealth, but Wu Shaogang didn't care, he already felt that sooner or later he would have a decisive battle with the Mongol Tatars, and sooner or later he would become the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Tingzhi has already helped, and asking Lu Xiufu to follow him is the best proof of this.

On the one hand, Li Tingzhi loves talents, and thinks that he, Wu Shaogang, is a rare talent, and he will definitely shine in the future and become a fierce enemy of the Mongolian Tartars, and may be able to save the court from danger, on the other hand, Li Tingzhi also wants to recruit him.

“。。。 Adjutant General Wu, how are you going to deploy and successfully complete the mission. ”

Li Tingzhi finally finished speaking and began to ask.

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi and spoke unhurriedly.

"Lord Li, my subordinates haven't thought about it for the time being, how to deploy, we still need to conduct on-the-spot surveys, and make corresponding arrangements according to the actual terrain, this time Hao Jing sent my envoy to the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of Mongolia, it must be arranged by Kublai Khan himself, so Hao Jing's every move, will get Kublai Khan's special attention, subordinates estimate that there will be people along the way to pass the news, since you want to exterminate the Mongolian mission and capture Hao Jing alive, then you need to do nothing leaky, you can't let the news leak out, together with the Mongolian Tartars who delivered the news, you will be annihilated in one fell swoop, In this way, Kublai Khan could not have learned any news of the mission in a short time. ”

Li Tingzhi nodded again and again, obviously expressing his approval.

"In addition, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, the lord said that he wanted the loyal soldiers to participate in the battle, and his subordinates did not think it was necessary, fifty Mongolian Tatars, it seems that there are a lot of people, but the subordinates guarantee that they can complete the task."

"The subordinates have a request, that is, they need all the information related to the Mongolian mission, including the weapons they carry, including the number of their war horses, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, of course, if the adults feel that there is difficulty, the subordinates will send their subordinates to conduct detailed reconnaissance, I believe that they can get the news."

Lu Xiufu looked at Li Tingzhi and Wu Shaogang, thinking about speaking, but finally lowered his head.

This scene was discovered by Li Tingzhi.

"Junshi, what do you want to say, just ask."

Lu Xiufu raised his head, looked at Wu Shaogang, and finally spoke.

"Vice General Wu, I think that fifty Mongolian Tatars, plus twenty-five retinues, should not be underestimated in combat effectiveness, it is better to let the loyal and brave troops cooperate, as for what task to perform, you don't need to let them know, you don't have to worry about this, you can give orders."

When Li Tingzhi heard Lu Xiufu say this, he also nodded frequently.

Wu Shaogang shook his head firmly.

"The opponent is strong, the loyal sergeant participates in the battle, but does not know the combat mission, ignorance, no morale, this is a taboo for the soldiers, absolutely not, if the loss in the battle is quite large, the sergeant will be resentful, not only not conducive to the battle, but also not conducive to secrecy, since it is a secrecy operation, the fewer people who know, the better, and this battle, what is needed is a strong sergeant, the shorter the battle time, the better, the movement is also the smaller the better, so the subordinates believe that the loyal and brave army should not participate in it."

Wu Shaogang said it very simply, and it seemed that he had made up his mind.

Li Tingzhi finally nodded.

"Vice General Wu, this combat task is very arduous, you only have thirty people under your command, there are as many as fifty Mongolian Tatars, and there are twenty-five retinues, the number is more than double that of yours, there is no guarantee of victory in such a battle, I think the strength still needs to be strengthened, so let's choose thirty people from my personal guards and obey your command...

When Li Tingzhi said this, Wu Shaogang was sincerely moved.

This time, the combat mission is a top-secret operation, and there must be someone in the DPRK who does not want the Mongolian mission to arrive in the capital, so when the Mongolian mission enters the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it will take measures to do it, since this is the case, then this time, the DPRK and the central government will not want to leak any news, so whether it is the emperor inquiring or Kublai Khan pursuing it, it is impossible to find out the truth, and the reason why the life of the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing is to be spared, is just in case.

To carry out such a task, you are either a confidant or someone who can give up at any time.

Wu Shaogang can't be someone's confidant in the court, so he can only be a person who has been abandoned.

The two Huai systems made Li Tingzhi very familiar with this action, as if he knew everything about the deployment, which showed that Li Tingzhi was very familiar with the person in the court, and the relationship was not ordinary.

It is speculated that at this point, Wu Shaogang already knows who this person is, that is, the right prime minister and privy envoy Jia Nidao.

Thinking that Jia Yidao was praised and trusted by the emperor because of the evacuation of the Mongolian Tatars, it is logical that he cares about the affairs of the Mongolian mission.

In the battle of Ezhou, Jia Rudao sent an envoy to negotiate with Kublai Khan, which must have agreed to some humiliating conditions, and now Kublai Khan sent an envoy to come, on the one hand, to fulfill these conditions, and on the other hand, to stabilize the Song court.

Jia Rudao didn't want some of the conditions he had agreed to be exposed, and the best way was to exterminate the Mongol mission.

At such a critical moment, Li Tingzhi was willing to help, which made Wu Shaogang have a lot less worries when performing combat tasks, and according to the relationship between Li Tingzhi and Jia Yidao, Wu Shaogang will definitely be able to pass the test safely.

However, at this moment, Wu Shaogang had a very bad opinion of Zhang Shijie, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace and the commander of the Urging Front Army, and even hated it.

This time, Wu Shaogang led his subordinates to carry out the mission, which was recommended by Zhang Shijie, and there was no direct conflict between Wu Shaogang and Zhang Shijie, why did Zhang Shijie do this.

There must be a reason, but Wu Shaogang doesn't know it yet.

Wu Shaogang clasped his fists at Li Tingzhi and saluted.

"The painstaking efforts of the adults, the subordinates are grateful, please beware, this time the subordinates must complete the combat mission, the thirty brothers led by the subordinates are all warriors with one blow to ten, defeating the Mongolian Tartars is not a problem, and when the real battle is real, the subordinates must also plan seriously, and will never act rashly, as for the matter of transferring the guards, the subordinates feel that it is not necessary, this move is likely to affect the adults, and the subordinates will not do such things."

Li Tingzhi's face was slightly red, he stood up, bypassed the copywriting, and walked in front of Wu Shaogang.

"Vice General Wu, I can deal with a lot of things, but you don't have to, I have received your kindness, but I have been sure to send my personal guards to act together, you don't have to shirk, my personal guards, if anyone dares to disobey military orders, let you dispose of them, Vice General Wu, you are a rare general in my court, and I have the obligation to protect you for the imperial court...

When he said this, Li Tingzhi was really emotional.

Soon, Qin Han, the captain of the personal guard, entered the study.

"Qin Han, select twenty personal guards to follow Vice General Wu to carry out combat missions, you are also involved, you remember, you must absolutely obey the orders of Vice General Wu, if you dare to violate, Vice General Wu can take me to carry out military law, even if Vice General Wu can't bear to do it, I will not be polite."

Qin Han looked at Li Tingzhi and turned to Wu Shaogang and hugged his fist.

"According to the military order of the lord, follow Vice General Wu to fight, and my subordinates promise to absolutely obey the command of Vice General Wu."

Preparations were unusually swift.

That night, Wu Shaogang and his entourage made all the preparations.

Fifty-two people, including Wu Shaogang and Lu Xiufu, all set out from the east gate, each with two war horses, equipped with ample bows and arrows, and carrying tents, and from the moment they left the city of Jiankang Mansion, they had to keep it a secret strictly.

Of course, at this time, only Wu Shaogang and Lu Xiufu knew the real combat mission, including Qin Han, the captain of the personal guard, who didn't know what the mission was.

All of them were dressed in black, and they were not wearing armor for the time being.

This is to make it more convenient to move, and in case everyone is discovered, it can also be used as an excuse to be a merchant group.

Li Tingzhi was sent to the gate of the city, watching Wu Shaogang and the others leave, standing for a long time, unwilling to leave.
