After a while, Wang Lun said softly: "Brother Chen, just like you said, I won't harm you, if I rebel again, won't I send you to death?" If you pull me out from under the guillotine and release me out of this prison, what difference will I do to the beasts? Brother Chen's rest assured is that when we arrive in Mongolia, we will do our best. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Yuan put a large package on the table: "I'll go and go through the formalities with the control now, here are new clothes, you can see if it fits." ”
This time they went to Mongolia and didn't know if they would be able to come back alive. It was dangerous to fight the Liao, and it was even more dangerous for them to go deep into Mongolia, because in this era, every ethnic group had a certain xenophobic interest. The most dangerous thing is that Chen Yuan can't give them any support except for letting them bring some gold and silver.
So this matter needs Wang Lun and them to fight by themselves and fight with their lives.
"My carriage is outside, you guys change your clothes and come with me now, Brother Wang, take a look at your sister-in-law in Bianjing." There is not much time, in two months, you have to pull up a team and put pressure on the Liao. ”
Within two months? Hearing this time limit, Wang Lun's brows furrowed. Mongolia is too far away, and it takes at least 20 days to run from Bianjing to Mongolia.
Chen Yuan nodded at him, indicating that he was not wrong.
Inju.
The battle on Wu Ming's hill was over again.
The large army of the Dongying people had already rushed back, and now their number had increased to nearly 20,000 men, but the position chosen by Wu Ming was very good, condescending, and the slopes on three sides were extremely steep, which was not suitable for attack at all.
On the only side of the relatively flat hillside, after Xiaopeng and the others stumbled into the cave by mistake, they found that this cave was so important now that they not only couldn't think about leaving, but they also had to stick to it.
The top of the mountain and the cave formed a very strong defense system, on which Wu Ming could support the defense of the people in the cave, and the cave was just enough to attack the enemies who were about to rush up the mountain, although it was not enough to inflict great damage on the enemy, but it could make those people have to slow down when they passed in front of them.
For the attacking side, the loss of speed and the sudden surname are very fatal, a situation that no one expected at the beginning.
Yesterday, when the enemy retreated, Wu Ming launched a counterattack, wanting to send some people to reinforce them in order to make this point stronger, but this cave was too narrow, and it was useless to have too many people.
So they left them with some necessary equipment and supplies, and Wu Ming's men retreated again.
The solid defense system, the dangerous terrain, and the good military quality of the Song army itself made them very easy to fight, although they were few in number.
The Song army was not at all what the Goryeo prince said, and there was no complete strategy and tactics. On the contrary, whether it is a formation or a position, there are many descriptions of mountain warfare in the martial arts. Including instructing soldiers on how to fight, the Song Dynasty had a set of methods.
What is even more beneficial to the Song army is that the palm thunder of the Dongying people has run out, and they originally relied on Chen Shizhong and Hu Yanqing to smuggle for them, and most of them were brought to the front line to fight against those Goryeo people who still insisted on resisting.
And the material reserves of the Song army are quite sufficient, and it seems that endless bows and crossbows, those car crossbows, and flamethrowers are simply a nightmare for the Dongying people.
Lao Niu lay alone at the entrance of the cave, observing the situation outside, the corpses of the dozen or so charred Dongying people just now were still outside, black, and looked extremely dazzling.
There was a shadow moving in front of him, it was a wounded Dongying warrior, he had obviously just climbed down the mountain, his left leg was cut off by Qi Brush, Lao Niu knew at a glance that such a neat wound must be the masterpiece of Song Jun's hook and sickle. The guy wanted to climb back and climb down the hill so he could live.
The old cow spat at the foam, then picked up the crossbow and aimed it at his head, his fingers gently pulling the trigger.
The Dongying man didn't even scream.
Xiaopeng sat inside and glanced at Lao Niu: "How many are there today?" ”
Lao Niu didn't look back: "Seven." ”
After saying that, his legs moved involuntarily. For them, what they couldn't stand the most now was not the Dongying people in front of them, but the stuffy and humid environment inside the cave. The air here was not very well circulated, the temperature was at least thirty degrees, and most of them were a blur between their legs, tormented by the humidity of the dense forest.
The brothers above are no better, and the brothers who came to send them supplies a few days ago have been bitten by mosquitoes one by one, and they can no longer see their original faces. The brothers said that they couldn't sleep well on it, and that there were so many insects that it was unbearable to bite a big bump.
There were no bugs in the cave, thanks to the python, and with it here, the annoying little ones didn't dare to come in.
The big snake is said to have a lot of food, obviously growing taller again, and the waist is also a lot thicker, and he is already very familiar with them, Xiaopeng was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that there was a slippery thing at his feet, and there was a "whirring" sound like a war horse panting, and the giant python poked out its big head when it was hungry, and its two eyes scanned the soldiers.
The warrior had no fear of it, just as it had accepted the intruders who had broken into its home.
Xiaopeng looked at it, turned his head and shouted to Lao Niu: "Lao Niu, your brother is hungry." ”
After staying in the cave for more than ten days, everyone was really bored, feeding this python became their spare time, there were many corpses outside, they used these to feed the snake, and sometimes they would feed it some dry food, and when it was full, it would naturally shrink back into its own world.
It sounds like a terrible thing to feed the beast with a human corpse, but in this boring day, it is their only pleasure, and the old cow even once kowtowed to welcome it out, and then saw it off.
So, now everyone knows that this python is the elder brother of Lao Niu.
The old cow glanced back, picked up a hook and sickle, and dragged a corpse from the outside: "That's your uncle!" ”
Xiaopeng looked at him, with a smile on his face. Xiaopeng didn't know what was funny, but now, he didn't know what else he could do other than laugh.
The old cow threw the corpse of the Dongying man to the python, squatted on the ground and gasped: "Next time, whoever is saying that this beast is my brother, I will fight with whom." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the cave, the old cow looked at the giant python, the giant python may be out of gratitude to the old cow, stretched out the red tongue letter and picked the old cow's trouser leg a few times, this action made the old cow a little frightened, and moved his body back in vain: "Go, go, don't disgust me." ”
Xiaopeng looked at the sky outside, it was getting dark. He took a small stone from the side, put it in a bag in his pocket, and then poured out all the stones in the bag, and counted: "Eleven days." ”
Things have developed so far, and Chen Yuan himself feels that he is shameless. During the day, he advertised the benefits of the alliance with the Dongying people on various occasions, but at night he was planning the most suitable location to land in the east.
The ship was ready, and all the sailors of the Song Dynasty were concentrated in Quanzhou, which did not arouse anyone's alarm, after all, now that Goryeo was at war on the adjacent sea, the assembly of the sailors of the Song Dynasty was a reasonable thing.
As if Renzong had agreed to Chen Yuan's plan, he actually sent troops north to the Song-Liao border at this time, making the originally relaxed situation between Song and Liao tense in vain.
Xia Sui, the frontier official, also followed closely behind Renzong, gathered 100,000 Qiang soldiers in the western Xinjiang, and handed them over to Yeli Yuqi, who is now the military counselor of the Xingzhou Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty, to lead the troops in the Helan Mountains, looking ready to cross the past at any time.
All this not only scared the Liao State, but also made the Goryeo prince Wang Hui seem panicked. Now he knows that he finally understands that this concubine can really call the wind and rain in the Great Song Dynasty, so many ministers are against establishing diplomatic relations with Dongying now, but this Chen Shimei can actually convince the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
If those merchants negotiated with the Dongying people only made it impossible for the Song Dynasty to send troops to Goryeo, then once the war between the Song and Liao broke out, the Song Dynasty would inevitably be eager to find a suitable ally, and this ally would definitely not be the Goryeo army that had already been captured by the Dongying people.
He was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and restless.
Wang Ju came in from outside, and Wang Hui hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?" Is Chen Shimei willing to see us? ”
Wang Ju's expression was a little gloomy: "This is the third time we have submitted the name post, but like the previous two times, he neither refused nor heard back. ”
Wang Hui's hands were clasped tightly together, and his steps were extremely fast walking back and forth in the post station: "What does he mean by this?" Is it disgusting that we have fewer gifts? ”
Wang Ju looked at him and shook his head: "Prince, please forgive me for being blunt, that Chen Shimei is rich and rivals the country, and gifts are nothing to him, I think, this may be a matter of face." ”
Wang Hui was stunned: "Face? ”
"Yes, the last time he came to visit the prince, he was made a disgraced face, and you went to the emperor of the Song Dynasty to sue him, how could he be good? I think that if the prince comes to the door in person, he will probably meet you. ”
Wang Hui hesitated a little: "Isn't he going to humiliate me too?" ”
Wang Ju didn't answer him, was he afraid of being humiliated at this time? If you stay here, no one will humiliate you, the Song Dynasty is very benevolent and righteous, even if Goryeo really perishes, it is estimated that Renzong will arrange for Wang Hui to be a wild prince, let him take a copy of the Great Song Dynasty, eat enough in Bianjing and wait for death. But is that interesting?
Wang Hui thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Alas, okay, I will personally go to the Horse Mansion tonight to wait for him, if he wants to humiliate me, it is better for him to go." ”
Wang Ju put down a stone in his heart, although this prince was young, he was not so unbearable in the face of major events, and he was not completely disappointed.
Wang Ju said: "No, it's not good at night, Chen Shimei is very busy today, if the prince really has a heart, go now, wait for him at the door, and he will definitely be able to wait until he comes back." ”
