Leng Zhenglang is not afraid, martial arts are not his forte, but his diet is not bad since he was a child, and after eating beef and mutton this year, the skin is thick and the meat is thick, and it is almost oily. If it weren't for pretending to be sick, even in the winter, he would be like some Khitans, wearing only a robe of animal skin and bare arms.

The sea is not afraid, I asked in detail, there are two places that rarely freeze, even in cold years, the ice is only a thin layer, although it is in the way, you can use a raft to solve the problem.

The difficulty is the roads, and in some places the roads are difficult to pass due to the sparse population.

The Khitan Spring Bowl will end in late March at the earliest, and Zheng Lang and Cui Xian moved the time back before coming to the Khitan. After all, if you don't escape, you will be yourself, and if you escape, no matter how you arrange it, you won't be able to hide it for long. With less snow and ice, you'll be able to escape faster. On the boat, the Khitan sent 100,000 lions, and they could only look at the ocean and sigh.

Therefore, Cui Xian came to Beijing after New Year's Day.

Zhao Zhen must have concealed it for himself, and then covered it up, and no one would come up with his true practical intentions at first, but this time will not be long, ten days, at most twenty days, and someone will guess it. Maybe Zhao Zhen's secrecy work was not done well, and the truth would be obtained by some well-intentioned people in a few days.

Can't be early.

As soon as Zhang Kang got on the boat, he had to rush to his destination non-stop and quickly pick himself up. Otherwise, before he left, the Khitan would be able to get the information, and it would be impossible to leave again. But when will Zhang Kang come? Zheng Lang pinched the time, as early as late February, and as late as early March.

A black water pool that destroys all plans.

Liao Xingzong thought that his illness had not healed, so he lost his spirit, and said: "Zheng Qing, take care of your illness, don't worry, it's still early." ”

After saying that, he left.

Guo Kui came in and said in a low voice: "It's a little bad. ”

"It's a bit bad."

"Is there a way to keep them staying?"

"Difficult, he went to Heishuilu, trying to make him stay. Probably not," Zheng Lang shook his head.

Guo Kui also stayed for more than a year and knew more about the Khitan, but he didn't know it himself. Normally. Yuerluo, Changchun Prefecture, Changchun River, and Mingtong River are several locations of the Khitan Spring Bowl, and the range of activities is equivalent to the eastern part of Jilin Baicheng, the northern part of Liaoyuan, and the northwest of Changchun, no matter where it is, it will not be in the way.

But this black water. It was in Heishui, near the mausoleum of Liao Shengzong, southwest of the current Shangjing, and later northwest of Lin. Pulling a straight line is not far, Guan Jian wants to climb over the Great Xing'an Mountains, now it is not called the Great Xing'an Mountains, but is divided into many mountain names, and the main vein is called Jinshan. There are also Rabbit Mountain, Mantou Mountain, Yongan Mountain and so on. From the fish to the black water. You have to climb several mountain ranges, and in February the snow and ice are a little thinner, and the road is still difficult to walk, and it takes at least ten days to reach the goal, and if the road is blocked by wind and rain, it may take more than 20 days. The spring bowl time limit can only end in early April, which means that it must start in late February.

Time!

Where's the timing?

When I arrived at Heishuiluo, the Jurchens who did not have Chaohe could not go. On the west side of the Great Xing'an Mountains, you can't go. It seems to be close to Youzhou. The guards will be tight, and they will not be able to leave. Approaching May, when the Khitan was more careful, he couldn't go.

As soon as he went to Heishuiluo, Zheng Lang was dead.

Zheng Lang stared at the ground. In fact, it was the ice surface, to be honest, when he first arrived, Zheng Lang felt very uneasy. The water here is very good, and the ice surface is very clear, and you can see fish swimming underneath through the ice. I don't know if it's the illusion of ice, Zheng Lang didn't feel how thick the ice was, but the Khitans set up tents on it, galloped horses, and lit fires.

Guo Kui was so anxious that he walked around.

Xiao Guanyin suddenly put down his pen, held up his young face, looked at them and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, General Guo, do you want to escape?" ”

"Yes, General Guo can't think of a good way, so he is in a hurry." Zheng Lang replied. Anyway, there is no need to hide it, just say it. Maybe Liao Xingzong was very happy when he heard it.

…,

"Zheng Xianggong, if you can't go back, do you want to marry me?"

"I'll definitely be able to go back, you're small, don't think about it." Zheng Lang shouted.

"I do."

Guo Kui and Zheng Lang were all sweating, and Zheng Lang shouted with a stiff face: "If you want to, you can't, go home." ”

This is impossible, he handed over to Xiao Guanyin, at most this semi-master-apprentice relationship, and nothing else will happen at all. Back in the Song Dynasty, there must be no more entanglements. I can't escape, and I can't surrender. There is only one way to go, die! Let's see if you're lucky enough to wear it again.

sent someone to send Xiao Guanyin away and had a hasty dinner. I drank the medicinal soup again, covered my head in the felt, came over all night, covered my sweat, and ate something the next morning, and most of my body recovered. What the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State saw was only an illusion. fell ill twice, and the reason why it took several days to get better each time was because Zheng Lang secretly sent guards to pour out the decoction, and he tossed himself at night, so the illness dragged on. In fact, the minor illness caused by this little cold, you don't need a decoction, cover it, and you can get better the next day.

Out of the tent, the outside is still icy and snowy, the actual river has been secretly melting, some places expose large clusters of gray-brown, the fish are huge, the east and west are as long as 20 miles, the north and south reach 30 miles, there are many elms, willows and apricots on all sides, at this time it has not yet grown, but there are many birds come here to gather, in the dead branches and yellow reeds to gather.

The Khitans erected an oversized tent by the lake, which was used to meet with the Quartet to congratulate the Jurchen chieftains, and occasionally Song envoys and Goryeo envoys arrived. Zheng Lang got up a little late, Liao Xingzong had already finished receiving the Jurchen envoy, Guo Kui stood not far away and watched, looking disappointed, obviously not finding the person he hoped to see from the Jurchens.

Liao Xingzong saw Zheng Lang and beckoned.

Zheng Lang walked over and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Liao Xingzong asked: "Zheng Qing, have you ever seen a hooked fish?" ”

"I've seen it, in different forms, but it's definitely not as big as this time."

"I'll show you."

It's not to take Zheng Lang to see, but the first hook must be Liao Xingzong's hook. This is different from the headhunter goose, the headhunter goose can let the ministers hunt first, and the hooked fish can only let the Khitan emperor hook first, even if the Jurchens come for several days, the Khitan emperor does not move, they will never dare to hook the fish first.

After Liao Xingzong finished speaking, he waved his hand. The guards scattered, chiseled through the ice, cut the fish with wool nets, and drove the fish near the ice tent little by little. Because standing on the big lake at this time, the effect is not very good. This method is used on river channels. will be more effective.

There are also some effects, the repelling of people, coupled with the blocking of wool nets, separated by clean ice. You can see large schools of fish swimming by. In the second step, four ice holes were pre-drilled on the ice near the tent, and the middle one was chiseled through the water, and the other three were thin but there was no water. The purpose of the thinning is to be able to see clearly the movement of fish under the ice. When the fish came, the soldiers who observed the movement reported to the emperor, and the Khitan emperor threw the hooked fish with a special rope hook in the water ice hole. Because there are many fish, there is no one who misses. After the shot. Let go of the rope and let the fish struggle and toss, and the fish is tired of tossing, so he uses the rope to pull the fish out. This is the whole process of hooking the fish.

It is still very backward, far less than the winch net method of later generations, although it takes longer, but often casts the net at one time, and can harvest tens of thousands of catties of fresh fish.

Distant fish repelling has begun, and wool nets are not used for fishing. Instead, they stopped the frightened fish and made them swim towards the eye of the ice, and the Khitans beat them with sticks outside. Shouting, or beating drums, frightened the fish and forced them to swim under the ice of the quiet tent.

Liao Xingzong was preparing with a rope hook in his hand, and the chiefs and soldiers of the various departments on the side did not dare to make a sound, waiting for the fish to arrive.

Suddenly, a loud pant was heard under the ice, and almost all of them had surprise in their eyes, not one, but several.

Zheng Lang also looked at the voice, no need to ask. The cowfish is coming.

…,

After a while, the soldier said, "Your Majesty, what a big cow fish. ”

Liao Xingzong nodded, he was also looking at the water, suddenly threw the rope hook down, and then said, "Pick up the rope." ”

Dare is a veteran.

The soldier picks up the rope at the back. Needless to say, it is a big fish, otherwise the rope will not be lengthened, Liao Xingzong kept putting the rope, but it was not abandoned, and he used some strength to lose the fish power. But because of the size of the fish, the rope flew quickly at first. It wasn't until the rope was pulled for several feet that the speed slowed down.

The rope was put a few zhang again, Liao Xingzong began to put it when it was closed, and then put a few zhang, the rope was moving, but the speed was very slow, Liao Xingzong slowly collected the rope, and it was not always collected, if the fish struggled, let it go, and then take it back if it didn't struggle.

After tossing for a while, he gradually tightened the rope and dragged it to the entrance of the cave, where a large yellow finless cowfish dragged it up. Zheng Lang visually measured that it was at least nearly one meter long, enough to be a hundred catties, and Liao Xingzong had to call the soldiers to help before dragging the fish to the ice.

Seeing this big cowfish, thousands of soldiers and nobles, as well as the chiefs, all cheered.

Such an oversized cowfish is a good omen.

Yelu Hongji excitedly stroked the fish with his hand, looking very affectionate. Zheng Lang shook his head, but he had to admire Liao Xingzong's accurate technique, which just hooked the soft belly of the cow fish, otherwise he might not be able to get it up.

The emperor was happy, and everyone was free to do the activity.

Liao Xingzong made a move, and the two soldiers carried the fish down to prepare to make grilled fish, and other cooks were preparing dishes, and then the monarchs and the chieftains entered the big tent and set up a banquet with wine. The chiefs of each department performed programs for Liao Xingzong in turn, and sang and danced.

Zheng Lang looked at this big black tent, and suddenly had an inspiration, and when he thought about it, he couldn't think of it.

Liao Xingzong said to him: "Zheng Qing, come here." ”

Zheng Lang walked over. Liao Xingzong was very happy, he didn't expect the head hook to hook such a big cowfish this year, does it mean anything?

Let Zheng Lang sit beside him.

The chiefs of the various departments didn't know the exact situation yet, but Song Liao sat on an equal footing, and even if the other envoys came, they also sat in a very high position and didn't think much about it. Liao Xingzong said to him: "Zheng Qing, show you a piece of information. As he spoke, he threw over an urgent newspaper, which was written in the small Khitan script, but for Zheng Lang now, it is not difficult to recognize this kind of writing.

Zheng Lang looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's good news.

Information sent by the Khitan Southwest, about Western Xia.

After the Battle of Hequ, Yuan Hao's confidence swelled.

The Song Dynasty pulled the defense line to the area of Wuyanqian Gorge and Xiaoguan, but it originally belonged to the Song realm, and Yuan Hao did not think that he had lost his territory. On the contrary, because Pang was soft, he used the methods of the Song Dynasty to build the fort to the Tumen area, and because of the fall of Fengzhou, Fulin Road used the fort to occupy half of the territory of Fengzhou, and even directly repaired the fort to the territory of Fuzhou. Everyone was happy. The Song Dynasty believed that we occupied a large area north of Tiansheng Pass, and Yuan Hao said to his subjects that we occupied a large area of Yanzhou and Fulin Road.

It was indeed very arrogant, the softer the Song Dynasty, the more daring he became, and it seemed that the previous few defeats did not happen. Moreover, he got 200,000 yuan of the Song Dynasty a year, which was several times higher than the number of his father's coins.

Guan Jian still fought in the first battle of Hequ, and the nearly 200,000 Khitan army defeated him. In this battle, he suffered heavy losses, but the harvest was also good, and he received a lot of food, baggage, weapons, horses, and armor. Attacking the Song Dynasty in the east and retreating to the Khitan in the north, there were still some opposing voices in the country, but with this great victory, all disappeared.

But the actual difficulties are increasing, several bloody battles, the Western Xia country is very tight, Yuan Hao has to really rest and recuperate. Maybe I feel that I am old, maybe I feel that my martial arts have reached the extreme, and I am trying to marry my son.

The daughter-in-law is from the daughter of the chief of the Dangxiang clan who has not moved to the mountain, and I heard that this woman is beautiful and moving, which can make Huāer ashamed, and this woman's singing voice is clear and beautiful, which can make Yan'er obsessed. Its glamorous fame moves for hundreds of miles. So Yuan Hao hired him for his son.

…,

It's beautiful.

When the newlyweds arrived, the new daughter-in-law came and began to hold family affairs, and the guests all boasted about the appearance of the crown princess.

It's so beautiful, simple and beautiful like a fairy, maybe the fairy in the sky is not as beautiful as it, and its beauty makes some male guests lose their temper, including Yuan Hao himself.

Prince Ning Linge was very happy to see his wife so beautiful, his cruel father was nothing, but the daughter-in-law he chose for himself was really good, and then looked at his father, he had to hold a wedding, father.

But at this moment, the situation changed abruptly, Yuan Hao stared at this daughter-in-law, looked at it, and suddenly said, "I want this woman." ”

The guests fainted together.

The ministers came up and admonished one after another, but Yuanhao didn't listen and took the daughter of the Wuyi clan away. Brother Ning Lin is also anxious, I am your son, you can't rob any woman, but the woman who robbed her son, what kind of system, go up and ask for it.

Yuan Hao's eyes widened, and the kid was too frightened to make a sound.

This is Yuan Hao's natural talent, in Guo Kui's words, that is, when he saw Yuan Hao at a glance, he knew that he was a murderer and looked extremely vicious, so after Cao Wei saw Yuan Hao's portrait, he was very worried, and went to the field several times, ready to see the real person.

This anger is full of ferocity, how can Brother Ning Lin, the little huā in the greenhouse, resist?

So the crown princess became Yuan Hao's imperial concubine.

After Zheng Lang finished reading it, he handed the information back to Liao Xingzong. He already knew about this, but it is estimated that this woman is indeed unparalleled in the world, otherwise Yuan Hao would not have deliberately built a huge palace for her in the next time to please her.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Yuan Hao got this woman, and there was no medicine to cure. The borders of the Song Dynasty can be guaranteed to be fine for a few years.

Liao Xingzong asked, "Zheng Qing, don't you want to say anything?" ”

"This person betrays the Lord and kills his mother, does all kinds of evil, and robs his daughter-in-law as a wife and concubine, which is nothing," Zheng Lang said.

"Yes, there are some ugly people in the world." I don't have a good impression of Yuan Hao Liao Xingzong.

But when Zheng Lang heard this, he looked at the big black tent again, and the inspiration just now came again, and finally he thought of a good plan, a good plan to win time.
