Zhang Yuan did not have the slightest doubt about Chen Yuan's excuse that Chen Yuan came to see him off, and he was also grateful to him for relenting in the matter of the Jurchens. It's not that Zhang Yuan is not smart enough, but Chen Yuan was originally a strong supporter, which made Zhang Yuan unable to find a reason to suspect him.

So Chen Yuan asked casually: "Master Zhang, are you ready all the way?" Have you planned all the routes? ”

Zhang Yuan said without doubt: "Brother Chen, don't worry, although the Xiangqing army has left Xiping Mansion, there are still more than 2,000 defenders in Xiping Mansion, and I have asked people to send a letter quickly, and they will come to meet us." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "That's good, I hope that when I go down to the party to do business in the future, Lord Zhang can take more care of it." ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Chen Yuan meaningfully: "Brother Chen, now the party king is eager to seek talent, if Brother Chen is willing to give in, I think the king will be very happy." ”

Chen Yuan sneered and said: "Forget it, Master Zhang also knows about me and the king in Liao, plus this time I am impulsive in the next moment, I am really afraid that the king will pick my skin." ”

Zhang Yuanzai pouted: "Brother Chen, the king is the lord of the hegemon, and he will be able to achieve a hegemony, how can his mind and belly be comparable to those of us?" Brother Chen doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "I'm not satisfied with Brother Zhang, I just want to do some business." ”

Zhang Yuan was even disappointed, but he also knew that if this Chen Shimei really wanted to be an official, whether it was an official of the Liao State or an official of the Song Dynasty, he had been an official. At the moment, he didn't say more: "Since Brother Chen said so, he is not reluctant." It's just that the king said that he was going to pick your skin, which is indeed an angry word, and Brother Chen doesn't have to take it to heart. This time, the king is also very grateful to you for mediating this, and in the future, you can come to our party to do business, and we will definitely treat you as a guest. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "I don't know when Lord Zhang is going to leave?" ”

Zhang Yuan was really conscientious about the party members, and an anxious look immediately appeared on his face: "Dissatisfied with Brother Chen, this war has just started, and the war in the Helan Mountain area has not yet started, and our king has already done his best." I really want to go back and help him out soon. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Lord Zhang's loyalty, of course, makes me admire it very much!" ”

He really wanted to say this sentence in another tone, Chen Yuan really didn't understand what these people thought, Zhang Li of the Liao State was still excusable, he was originally an official of the Song Dynasty. But this Zhang Yuan is so loyal to being a dog, which really makes Chen Yuan a little admired!

What does this guy seem to end up with? Chen Yuan is also not clear.

Zhang Yuan said: "Oh, by the way, Brother Chen, then I ask you to talk about the cooperation between the two countries in front of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what the emperor's attitude is?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, Zhang Yuan must be the same as when he was in Liao, treating this high-ranking emperor as a fool, but he didn't know that the reason why these people were stupid was because they needed to pretend to be stupid in this position.

Chen Yuan also understands now, when the emperor feels that he wants to do something he wants to do, he will pretend to be stupid and be very deceiving. But when you want to do something that he doesn't want to do, you're out of luck.

Renzong doesn't want to fight now, he wants to be a mastiff.

But he said: "I am not satisfied with Lord Zhang, but the emperor said this problem when he summoned me, but from now on, Long Live still has some hesitation." ”

Zhang Yuan was already very satisfied with this result, after all, the Song Dynasty was only a small group of officials who hooked up with him, and these people could make the Song Dynasty emperor hesitate, and they had already done quite well! As long as Li Yuanhao shows enough strength on the battlefield, the Song Dynasty will definitely be tempted! He is a Song person, and he naturally knows how deep the Song people's hearts are for the Liao people.

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhang Yuan's expression: "Lord Zhang, Yelu Gollum is ready to leave, and my special envoy for negotiations is coming to an end, thanks to Lord Zhang's strong support in the past few days, we are all satisfied with the result, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Thanks to that, I didn't brush my sleeves and leave, things were impulsive that day, Brother Chen, don't take it to heart." ”

After Chen Yuan left the post station, he already had a corresponding countermeasure in his heart. Although Zhang Yuan only mentioned that it was the defenders of Xiping Mansion who came to meet them, based on this, Chen Yuan could already clearly judge the road map of their journey.

After leaving Bianjing, it must be from the north-west road of Jingbei all the way to Gyeongju, and then escorted to the border by the border army, and handed over to the troops of the party people. Three of them changed hands, which was enough for Chen Yuan to make some articles!

After returning to the villa, Chen Yuan immediately found a map and carefully observed the terrain from Gyeongju to Xipyeongfu.

He used maps that could be bought by merchants in the Song Dynasty, and although the place names were very detailed, the mountains and rivers were not as good as those special military maps. But that was enough for Chen Yuan, his eyes wandering back and forth between Xiping Province and Gyeongju, and finally landed in a jungle on the banks of the Naluoshui River in Xiping Province.

His finger tapped twice on it: "When the party people come to pick up the princess, they will inevitably walk through this mountain forest, Tieanli, Sutu, the opponent may have two thousand people, and you are less than a hundred, can you do it?" ”

Su Tu stood up suddenly: "The shopkeeper can rest assured, in the mountains and forests, there is nothing we dare not fight!" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and looked at Su Tu with a sharp look: "I'm not asking you if you dare to fight, but I need you to win!" Are you sure? ”

Tie Anli was more stable than Su Tu: "If we can arrive two days earlier than the other party, there will be absolutely no problem." ”

Chen Yuan was very excited: "Okay! All I want is what you say, Zhang Yuan's messenger has already left Bianjing, and he will leave soon. What we have to do now is to disguise ourselves as a team to send off relatives and get there one step ahead of Zhang Yuan! The time can't be early, it's too early for them to receive the news from Zhang Yuan again, we will arrive, and the party members won't believe it! It can't be late, it's too late, we just walked with the front foot and Zhang Yuan arrived with the back foot, and the stuffing will be exposed immediately! ”

Chai Yang's folding fan clasped together in his hand, and pointed to the map in front of Chen Yuan with the fan: "Princess Luan must be accompanied by drum music, so their speed should be calculated based on the speed of drum music." From Bianjing to Xipingfu, the speed of the Great Song Dynasty ritual is estimated to take at least twenty days. I think that if we go to the border on the eighteenth or nineteenth day, we will not arouse the suspicion of others. It's just Brother Chen, what are you going to do with this official document and clothing? ”

Chen Yuan looked up at him: "What else can I do?" Hurry up and do it! Do you think the emperor will give me the official document and then give me a complete set of ceremonial team costumes? ”

Chai Yang looked at Chen Yuan, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he gave a thumbs up: "You really dare to do anything, let me tell you, I'm not afraid to play with you, even if the matter is posted, I won't kill me if I don't have the emperor of the Danshu Iron Scroll, you be careful yourself, forge official documents, and you will die!" ”

Chen Yuan didn't care: "Robbing the princess is also dead!" If things are done well, I will earn two heads if they are not exposed. If I don't do it properly, I will only earn this head, no matter what! ”

Speaking of this, his fist slammed on the map: "That's it, that's roughly it, Tie Anli, Su Tu, you pretend to be a party member at the border pass, and after passing the border pass, you use the excuse to go back to find someone to pick you up, in this ambush, this area seems to be called the West Pass, I will listen to the specific border pass, you also pay attention to listen, don't go the wrong way!" [***], you brought the more than 30 brothers who came back from Liao with me who trained with you recently, we are the Song Dynasty band, and these brothers are learning to beat gongs and drums! I don't want you to be like a real honor guard, but at least you have to beat the gongs and drums to the point. As for the details, it depends! ”

Chen Yuan was a little nervous, and his heart was beating hard. He knows that fighting with Li Yuanhao this time does not mean a certain confrontation between the two people, he no longer has the fear of Li Yuanhao, if he takes advantage of him once is a fluke, then taking advantage of Li Yuanhao twice in a row is enough to show that he is indeed better than him in some places!

For Chen Yuan in this battle, it would be miserable if he lost, so bad that he couldn't even estimate the result. Even if you win, it doesn't mean that you win, but it means that you have chosen to start in a more dangerous game. The opponent of this game is a hundred, a thousand times more powerful than Li Yuanhao!

In a trance, a ray of sunlight shot into Chen Yuan's eyes, and he unconsciously closed his eyes, as if he saw the snow-bright guillotine!

Chen Yuan froze his mind and shook his head violently, as if he wanted to shake off the shadow of the guillotine just now. But soon he stopped doing this senseless way, and came on.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Okay, from today onwards, all the business of the villa will be handed over to Chen Shizhong to take care of, Linghua, Yang shopkeeper, you two will help from the side." The rest of the brothers are all resting and are not allowed to leave the villa! As soon as the news came, we set off. ”

Finally, he glanced at the room of Master Chen and Sister Li, the honor guard and the guards are there, Zhang Yuan can find a guy who is closer to him to pretend, and now there is still a lack of a princess, the two of them, who is more suitable?

Jerynez Gollum quickly left, leaving without saying anything. There is no need to say anything now, the battle situation is very unfavorable to the Liao State, the Liao soldiers in the Waqiao Pass area are retreating, and Liao Xingzong asked Yelu Nie Gulu not to return to Yanjing, but to go directly to Waqiao Pass to lead the troops to fight.

Yelu Gollum knew that he couldn't talk about Zhang Yuan and Chen Yuan by talking with his mouth, but the next thing was to see each other on the battlefield, which was the way he liked!

After he left, Zhang Yuan was also leaving.

Zhang Yuan is hateful in this place! In the Song Dynasty, he didn't pay much attention to studying, and he ran to do Han Jian, but he was a dutiful Han Jian. The matter of the Great Song Dynasty has just been done, and he is about to return to Li Yuanhao's side to continue to serve the master of the world in his mind.

Before leaving, he came to Chen Yuan to say goodbye, which saved Chen Yuan a lot of trouble.

Zhang Yuan and his entourage of more than 20 people, as an embassy, are indeed a little less, which is all thanks to Chen Yuan. Together with the drum etiquette for them, there were more than 300 people in total. These more than 300 people are going to send the princess into the party until the princess gets married.

In addition, there was a guard of two hundred people, which was already escorted by three thousand forbidden troops. Three thousand forbidden troops can be sent to the border pass, and the two hundred guards can only go as far as the border. This team is quite pompous, because this is the marriage of the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and the royal face is very important!
