Yang Xi replied: "King Yan, it's not that we didn't say it at the beginning, but we didn't expect that His Majesty sent people to closely monitor Zheng Xianggong, even if it is in the spring bowl, it is still far from the sea, and the ice and snow seal the door, and the road is difficult to travel. A little female straight head covers the mother to the court, His Majesty worships her as a master, we think that Your Majesty treats female straight people preferentially, for fear of provoking Your Majesty's disgust......"

"It's against you!" Xiao Xiaoyou said.

I can't do it with bitterness in my heart, the Khitan system is not the Han family system, the Taishi is not worth anything at all, if Zheng Lang surrenders to the Khitan, the Taishi sends a Taibao, no one objects.

As for the female straight, when did they treat them preferentially, this is because they are not making trouble in the Northeast. But I didn't expect an unintentional Taishi to miss a big thing.

Yang Xi and Wang Sixing glanced at each other, and there was some regret in their eyes, when they surrendered to the Khitan, first, the Khitan put forward some conditions for wooing, and second, they thought that Zheng Lang would not be allowed to go back. If you can go back, why stay in this cold north.

There is no way, if you surrender to others, you will have to be angry with others.

Xiao Xiaoyou turned around, calmed his mind, and asked, "Tell me what's going on with this Zhao Sheng?" ”

Wang Sixing replied: "We don't know the specifics, it seems that Zheng Xianggong set up a peace prison at the beginning, and found gold and silver mines in the Japanese slave country, but he pity the pain of the guards leaving home, and there are sea risks, and there are many guards stationed, and they must be rotated. But after arriving at the mine, the fighting power was strong, and they came to buy some slaves every year, about nearly 3,000 people. The Battle of the Northwest broke out. Lacking warriors to charge into battle, Zheng Xianggong went to the northwest from Hangzhou, and successively divided into three groups to send these Jurchens to the battlefield. The third batch was sent to Beijing after the end of the war. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"We think it's okay. Until I heard King Yan say that May would last just now, then Zheng Xianggong wanted to escape, and it seemed that there was a gap in it......"

"You are bastards! What seems to be inevitable, when you get to Yuerluo, far away from the Central Plains, my lord will not be equipped, no wonder. No wonder ...... "No wonder I admonished the emperor not to go to Heishuiluo, and if he went to Heishuiluo, could he still escape?" was so angry that he wanted to trample the two of them to death, held back his anger, wrote a letter, and sent someone to Yuerluo.

Actually, much earlier. From Youzhou, news came that Zheng Lang would escape from the eastern sea with the help of the Jurchens, so the Song Dynasty sent the famous general Zhang Kang to the east to respond. However, because of the spies on the border between the two countries, there are not many intelligence officers. After this news came out, many Khitans did not believe it at all. How far is it from Yuerluo to the seaside, and where it is sparsely populated, often even those ginseng pickers can get lost in the mountains and can't come back, not to mention the Song Dynasty. When it was said to be fun, it reached the ears of Youzhou officials, relatively late.

……

"These Hu people in the north are tough," Guo Kui said, staring into the distance.

When he came to Changchun, it was still very cold, Zheng Lang pondered, if the minimum temperature at night would reach minus 20 degrees, but at the end of February, the peach blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River were in full bloom, and the northeast was not green, but the weather was finally warm.

Temperatures can reach as low as -10 degrees Celsius at night and can exceed 10 degrees Celsius at midday. The car drove to Changchun Prefecture, but heard a report from some Khitan soldiers that the Yuerluo Lake had begun to partially melt, so the Khitan monarchs and ministers were ready to discuss returning to Yuerluo to hunt geese.

Yu'erluo is a deep lake, and some small rivers and ditches are still covered with thick ice.

In this weather, the soldiers brought in also came back to their senses and were in high spirits, but they were still wearing thick clothes. On the contrary, the Khitans have long been shirtless, and there are even Jurchen people who are strong and bare-chested on safaris in the wild. …,

Guo Kui is referring to this, it is not good to have cotton clothes, people wear a simple animal skin robe, and they are flexible, but their soldiers are wearing thick cotton clothes and cotton pants, how to start a war? Besides, what if it's February, but what if it's the colder winter moon, wax moon and first lunar month? It became an unconquerable territory.

"Zhongtong, wrong," Zheng Lang pulled out his sword from his waist and pried open the snow, which was very deep, although many people had stepped on it, and it was still more than ten centimeters thick, but the snow was also quietly melting and sinking into the ground. But it is still not visible to the naked eye for a short time.

When the snow was sled, it was the ground, and Zheng Lang pried a piece of dirt up and said, "Zhongtong, look." ”

It was a lump of oily black and shiny soil, and Zheng Lang said affectionately: "Anointed land." ”

He handed it to Chong Kui and continued: "It is not uncommon for the actual mystery to be revealed, and if it is not revealed, this bend cannot be turned around, and it will not be figured out. Rice from the Uthen kingdom could be imported to the northeast, and it would take up to five years for the seeds to adapt to the climate here, and if successful, even if it was a single crop, it would yield as much as some polders in the eastern part of the country. Think about it, if the entire Northeast Great Plain can be sorted out, how much arable land can be obtained, one million hectares, or two million hectares. With such a high-yield field, one hectare of grain is enough to feed four to five families. Liaodong alone can feed five or six million households, and I am also ready to introduce several grain crops in the future, all of which are suitable for cultivation in Liaodong. The area of cultivated land will be even larger, and it will be possible to feed seven or eight hundred households. ”

Needless to say, put down the horsewhip, whether it is the Murowei people, or the Jurchens, or the Khitans, it is not enough to do harm. But Guo Kui also understands Zheng Lang's confusion, although he doesn't think it's harmful, he can grow grain on a large scale, and what impact will the Khitan and Jurchen populations have? Unless this place will be occupied, mass immigration. The problem comes back again, if you don't grow food, the soldiers will be strong and you won't be able to occupy it. It became a question of the chicken or the egg.

The two of them are bored, talking and playing, Xixia has not solved it, what else are you talking about in the north?

Guo Kui said again: "It's better to come now." ”

The Khitan Emperor stayed in the Changchun area, the problem does not matter, in any case, Zhang Kang and Yang Bawang will not delay until the end of March to arrive here, even if there is a risk at sea, it is impossible for all ships to have an accident together. At this time, the weather is gradually warmer, although the night is still cold, not like the previous time, I dare not go out of the tent at night, the cold wind is sharper than a knife. this day. You can travel even at night, and the temperature is low, so it's bearable.

The weather will be better after a while. However, the Khitan people are going to fish and hunt geese again, and everyone gets together, not like now. Because of hunting, the distribution was relatively scattered, and at that time the range of people's activities was not large, and it was difficult to get out. The weather is warm, and if you go east, although it is sparsely populated, there will still be people, and people will come out to do activities together. It is also easy to leak traces. Zhang Kang can also think that things at sea are not something that Zhang Kang can control.

"It's coming," Zheng Lang said.

But then he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

I can't put it into words.

As he spoke, Cao Cao arrived.

A group of people stepped on the snow and rushed to the Khitan camp, seventy or eighty people. Dressed strangely and roughly, only Zheng Lang and Guo Kui were looking, and when the others saw it, they all hunted separately, except for a team of guards to greet them. Nobody cares.

The larger tribes arrived here long before Liao Xingzong arrived at Yuerluo to greet the Khitan monarchs. After the hook fish feast, there are still various small and medium-sized remote tribes one after another, rushing to worship, not many, fragmentary, for which the Khitan monarchs and ministers in order to show the majesty of the great country, all very politely received.

The group was getting closer and closer, and in addition to their respective horses, there were also some ugly and clumsy carts, with luggage and grain and grass on them, but in the middle of the procession there were three or four delicate small carts, which were about a tribute to Liao Xingzong. …,

Judging by the clothes, judging by the vehicles, it is a very poor tribe. However, these dozens of big men are all very fierce and fierce, and they are also horses, authentic and excellent Khitan horses, which are called Mongolian horses in later generations, with bright hair and strong limbs. Seeing that it was approaching the camp of Liaoxingzong, the group stopped under the leadership of the guards and began to prepare to set up camp.

Zheng Lang and Guo Kui both showed joy in their eyes.

There are many people in it who know each other, there are Zhao Zhong, Zhao Sheng, Yang Bawang, Zhang Kang, Zheng Su and Zheng Huang, all of these people are killing gods, Guo Kui turned his head and asked Zheng Lang: "Zheng Xianggong, how about we kidnap the Khitan Emperor?" ”

He probably can't do it alone, but if he adds these tiger generals, it is really easy for the Khitan to succeed if he is unprepared. Of course, that's a joke, and once that's the case, the two countries will inevitably turn into enemies.

Zheng Lang smiled, and then stared at Zhang Kang.

It is not strange that other people have hair, except for Yang Bawang, most of them are Jurchens, and Zhang Kang also wore hair in order to follow him in person. I was used to seeing the appearance of Zhang Kang's scribe, and I thought it was very strange. But this time Zhang Kang is the only candidate, Di Qing doesn't believe it, the big guy who entrusts him is too big, not only does he have kindness to him, Pang Ji also appreciates him, and he also feels a headache for Pang Zheng Lang. It doesn't matter if Jia Changchao has a problem, if he hadn't come to Khitan, he would be afraid that he would be shameless and shameless, and all kinds of means, Zheng Lang would not be afraid at all in the court. It's Pang who is afraid, this person is too scheming.

Wang Xin is a subordinate of Pang. So there is only Zhang Kang who is the only candidate.

said in a low voice: "Zhongtong, you go and arrange it." ”

Zhang Kang may not know the inside story, this move is a bit careless. I had to write down what happened and give it to Zhang Kang, but I couldn't do it, and before I could write, the four maidservants surrounded me, grinding ink and paper, and it was not good to drive them away. It's better to leave it to Guo Kui.

"Oh," Guo Kui said.

After a while, everything that happened during this time, Zheng Lang and his thoughts, wrote it briefly, folded it into a small paper ball, called Jin Deming, and whispered a few words in his ear. Jin Deming took the order to go out and came outside.

Zhao Bao Zhao Sheng had already come out of the big tent and pretended to be a few small tribes in the depths of Changbai Mountain to come to the court. Liao Xingzong asked, there are only a few dozen households, and there are only about two hundred households in the big ones, and it seems that there are many people who come, but seven or eight small tribes have come together in partnership, and the tribute gifts sent are not very precious. Not interested, said a few words hastily and let them leave.

Several people returned to the camp and began to set up camp, still twisting their waists, dancing strange dances, Jin Deming was curious, and walked slowly to see, others also saw Jin Deming, there were some acquaintances in it, and they were very excited, standing up and looking around, to see where Zheng Lang was. However, Zhang Kang gave instructions in advance, and no one talked to Jin Deming, so they pretended to be nothing and continued to work.

Jin Deming approached, Zhang Kang also deliberately moved to the periphery, and then Jin Deming lost his mind and almost fell, so Zhang Kang helped him up, and the small paper ball was handed over to Zhang Kang. Jin Deming seemed to come back to his senses, looked at it, and left as if nothing happened.

Too careful.

But it's better to be careful, God knows if there's anyone watching him.

As for Zheng Lang, not to mention, he has already entered the big tent. I am afraid that after this group of fans saw him, they would do something out of shape and let the Khitans notice.

Zhang Kang stood for a while. When I entered the big tent, I opened the paper ball and saw that it was in a very bad form. Immediately ordered his subordinates to hastily set up the tents, and all of them entered the tents, and they could not stay outside. In addition to Yang and Wang Yang, Zheng Lang's guards are estimated to have been bribed by the Khitan, many of these guards were selected from the northwest, and many of them knew each other. Fortunately, Zheng Lang took precautions, afraid that they would come here. Everyone broke it, and usually used the excuse of letting them go out for more activities, letting them go out hunting, and deliberately inducing them to go hunting in the west, otherwise they would probably be hit by their own group just now. …,

Even this point can't be imagined, Zheng Lang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Zhang Yu pondered for a while. It's not a big problem, it's impossible to take Guo Kui and everyone else away, and it doesn't matter if Zheng Lang is taken away alone. also wrote a letter and asked Zhao Sheng to take it out.

Kim rode out into the field tomorrow morning. Hunting, it's normal, besides, he's just a small person, he's hunting, Zhao Sheng with a group of fresh faces, also out hunting, it seems that he has no intention of bumping into it, but it's a little far away, one left and one right into the depths of the woods, and then he bumps head-on, without saying much, one east and one west quickly staggers. However, when he staggered, Zhao Sheng handed the paper ball to Jin Deming again.

This paper ball came to Guo Kui's hand again, and he not only explained the plan in detail, but also said the agreed code.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The biggest magic trick becomes, it becomes, it's a magical magic show, and if it doesn't work, it becomes a big joke.

It was getting dark, Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin came in hand in hand, at this time Yelu Hongji could not know that Xiao Guanyin would be his future queen, the two were several years apart, although they were elders, they regarded her as a cousin.

Zheng Lang looked at the two of them and said that it was fake to have no feelings. Although it is a relationship between the enemy and us, it is a state-to-state relationship, and it has little to do with personal relations, and Zheng Lang is not a narrow-minded patriot. If you want to have the territory of the Quartet, you have to learn to be tolerant, as long as you don't have the tolerance of a soft egg like the Song Dynasty.

He seriously told Yelu Hongji some Confucianism and the principles of governing the country. Since I came to Khitan, only this time I spoke sincerely, without any distractions. Then let Yelu Hongji write two strategies, and taught Xiao Guanyin to write by hand.

Yelu Hongji wants to be happy, is it true that his teacher really takes a fancy to his little cousin?

"Your Highness, you have to work hard, take a look, Xiao Guanyin's handwriting is better than yours."

"Ah," replied Jeruhonji, sitting precariously seated.

After the second watch, the two left under the protection of the guards.

The four maids came to serve him to sleep in wide clothes, Zheng Lang fell, and the four maids left consciously.

Zheng Lang got up in a single night and continued to freeze, there was no way, he had to win at least two to three days before he could be truly safe. However, now the skin is thick and the flesh is thick, and he is covered in oil, standing in the gap between the tents, although he can afford goosebumps, but it is not as cold as some time ago, Zheng Lang turned his head and looked, and wiped the water in the wooden barrel on his body, there was a charcoal fire in the tent, it was still very cold, and a small layer of melting ice formed on the water surface, and the water temperature would not exceed one or two degrees.

Finally, his body gradually froze, and he ran into the cold wind again. I want to cry while blowing, it's too hard.

The next day, Zheng Lang got sick again.

After listening to the doctor's diagnosis, Liao Xingzong frowned, some time ago, he was sick, the weather was too cold, and now at the end of February, he is about to enter the spring of March, why did he freeze and get sick again. What should I do, I have to comfort a few words, look, it's really not good, in the future, when he returns, when it's cold, let him stay in Youzhou, and don't let him come out to make a bowl.

The Khitan monarch left, Zheng Lang waved his hand, and the four maids had no choice but to leave, which made the four maids dissatisfied, they were too strong, and they didn't like to see them when they were sick. Zheng Lang looked at the fact that there was no one else outside, endured his headache, and said to Guo Kui: "Make a secret signal to Zhang Jiyang, you have to prepare tonight." ”

"Zheng Xianggong, your body ......"

"It doesn't matter about the body, others don't know, you don't know? Zhang Jiyang has to wait in the future, when he comes, he has to leave, besides, there are many of them, although they are carefully selected, what if they show their feet? We don't know which one of the guards the Khitan bought, and if they bump into each other, everything will be over. Also, I feel uneasy. I can't delay any longer, I'm gone, everyone will be safe together. ”

"It's snowing outside." …,

"It's better to snow, just enough to cover a horseshoe print." After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he drank the decoction boiled by the doctor. I want to go, and the body looks like this. There's no way to go. And endured the headache, gritted his teeth and ate a bowl of porridge. Cowering in felt, covering your head with sweat.

Guo Kui left. It was overcast outside, and there was goose feather snow, which surprised Zhang Kang. It's March and it's snowing so heavily.

Watching the snowflakes dance, Guo Kui led someone to pass by, coughed lightly, and gestured out. Zhang Kang nodded secretly. Enough is enough.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were chaotic.

Zheng Lang woke up in the evening. Glancing at Guo Kui, Guo Kui nodded heavily. Then he walked over and asked with concern: "Zheng Xianggong." Can it be better? ”

"It's still a little lightheaded, but it's better than in the morning."

Guo Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for more than a year, just for these five or six days, Guan Jian is tonight, tomorrow morning.

Go out and arrange for the guards. Four more reassuring guards were selected, and these four guards Guo Kui secretly observed carefully for a long time before he felt that he was reliable, and there were no more than ten people on his reliable list. Calling them in and whispering. still didn't dare to say the inside story, only said that no matter what situation he saw in the past few days, he was not allowed to make a sound. Either come to your account and report it, even if the sky falls.

When the second watch came, Guo Kui came to the tent again, Zheng Lang leaned on the bed and thought about it, he didn't dare to sit up and read, he would wear it. Guo Kui asked: "Zheng Xianggong, I shaved it." ”

That is, the hair on the top of the head is all shaved, and only a small amount of residual hair is left on the temples and forehead for decoration, which has nothing to do with leaving tomorrow, but is a cover on the road, after all, there is still a long way to go to the beach.

"Shave."

Guo Kui carefully shaved Zheng Lang's hair, and after a while, he shaved it into the style of the Khitan Jurchens, put the shaved hair on the oil lamp and lit it, and there was a strange smell in the air, Zheng Lang said: "Zhongtong, be careful. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, you have to be more careful."

Then he looked out of the tent with Jin Deming, and Zheng Lang put his head on the felt, this look can't be seen by others, so the original form will be revealed immediately.

The night is getting darker.

At this time, Zhao Sheng was asking Liao Xingzong to resign, and he had worshiped the king, and we will go back tomorrow.

He was not very interested in the small tribe Liao Xingzong, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys go." ”

Zhao Sheng and a few people left the big tent of Liao Xingzong, his subordinates were drinking and having fun, suddenly the two got drunk, had an argument, and began to fight, and the people on the side persuaded to fight, but they were not persuaded to succeed, but they were involved in it, forming a group fight.

The farther away from the tent, the closer it was to Zheng Lang's tent, and the others ran out to see the excitement, and some people were making a fool of themselves. Of course, all of them are fresh faces, and it is impossible for Zhang Kang and Zhao Sheng to go to war, and they will be known by Zheng Lang's subordinates immediately.

Guo Kui heard the noise not far outside, opened the tent and looked at it, but looked around, observed for a long time, came in and said to Zheng Lang: "Zheng Xianggong, it's okay." ”

Zheng Lang got dressed, the inside was a Jurchen animal skin suit, but the outside was covered with a robe. He lifted the back of the tent and went out. Guo Kui came out to look again, but the corner of his eye glanced back. Seeing Zheng Lang's cat waist sneaking, at this time, everyone's attention was attracted by several of Zhang Kang's subordinates who were fighting, Zheng Lang was in a white robe again, mixed with the snow, and no one paid attention. After walking a hundred steps, seeing that there was no one around, Zheng Lang took off his white robe, put on an empty animal skin suit, and swaggered towards Zhang Kang's tent.

Swaggering is a gesture, but in fact, Zheng Lang is also watching while walking, avoiding everyone. Even if he has hair, as long as he shows his face, there is a good chance that seven or eight people here will recognize him. After a while, he came to Zhang Kang's tent, which was a little far away, but Guo Kui's eyesight was very good, and he could still see some of Zheng Lang's back. The condition is not clear, and the pace of walking is not very steady, but there is nothing to do, as long as I can leave, I will go to the boat to recuperate slowly. That's not necessarily, if you encounter a strong wind and waves, a seasickness or something, it's not to recuperate, it's to make things worse. continued to look, and saw Zheng Lang quietly getting in, and the Khitan patrol guards also came over, reprimanded the two sides who were beating each other, and the two sides dispersed.

All this was done very skillfully, and even the four guards selected by Guo Kui did not see Zheng Lang leave the big tent because of curiosity. Guo Kui walked into the tent and said to Jin Deming: "You prepare." ”

"Oh," Jin Deming was overjoyed, changed into the clothes that Zheng Lang usually wore, and his figure was about the same, if he didn't look at his face, it would be hard to think, and then went to bed and got into the felt.

Guo Kui went back to rest.

The next day was still snowy, but the snow was slightly lighter than yesterday. This weather is a good weather for Guo Kui. Put on your clothes and have to cover for Jin Deming. Walking out, Zhao Sheng and the others began to dismantle the tent when the sky was dark.

Guo Kui was also very excited and nervous in his heart. Not out of danger yet......

On the other side, a few fast horses passed through Jinshan, carrying Xiao Xiaoyou's urgent letter, and galloped towards Changchun quickly. Although facing the wind and snow, none of them felt cold, and patted the horse's back while walking, hoping to let the horse grow wings and fly.

I don't understand the big truth, but this truth can still be understood, once Zheng Lang escapes, not only will the Khitan lose one talent, but the Khitan will usher in a great shame. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
