Chapter 150: Slaughtering the Tiger

The Jin army returned to the north, and the Youyan army and civilians moved north in batches under the drive of the Jurchens, and countless men and women abandoned their homes and embarked on the road to Liaodong under the shadow of swords and blood. A team of tens of thousands of immigrants has been walking for more than ten days under the scorching sun, and today they arrived at the Iron Pulp Pavilion, which is where the post house leading to Shangjing is located, and after here, they will go out of the Khitan realm and enter the traditional Xi people's gathering area. Thinking that he had no hope of returning to his hometown, the mourning shook the sky for a while, but under the fierce Jurchen's leather whip and swords and guns, he could only sigh in vain.

As the sky darkens, the emigrant team stops to camp at the Iron Pulp House, a town that was once full of bureaucrats and shops, has become a paradise for fox-squirrels. People got some wheat flour mixed with bran from the Jurchens, so it was difficult to fill their stomachs, so they could only find some wild vegetables and mix them to make a pot of mixed rice...

"Old horse head, I've been eating this thing for a few days, and I can't pull the off, you have a lot of knowledge from south to north, let's get something else to eat!" A group of people squatted on the ground in a circle, and there was a pot of vegetable dumplings that were yellow but not yellow and green, and a young man pinched one and said.

"Li Tian, if you want to call grandpa, how many times have I told you!" A big man next to him gave him a poke on the back of the neck and said.

"Brother Hai, why do you all call him uncle and uncle, and let me call him grandpa, isn't this bullying?" Li Tian rubbed the back of his head and said.

"Just because you look young, white and pure, like us, you don't want to be a grandson!" Xue Hai took a vegetable dumpling from the basin, took a bite, and said with a smile.

"It's my fault, I blame me for not tanning!" Li Tian twisted his neck and said, "Nothing." You go get some water, this thing is. I can't eat without water! He said again to the man who was snickering on the side.

"You still think you're still the son of the squire family, that's your third uncle. No courtesy at all! A guy on Li Tian's side pointed at Ba Zhou Wuwu and said.

"Zhang Kui, I am your second uncle, and my father is now the middle of the imperial history!" Li Tian's face turned whiter with anger, and he shouted.

"Wrong, good nephew, I'm your fifth uncle!" Zhang Kui corrected with a straight face.

"Uncle Five, I'll fucking blow you up first!" Li Tianbai's face turned red, and he shouted angrily.

"Be quiet, I want to summon the Jurchens!" The man who had been bowing his head and nibbling on the vegetable dumplings whispered. The two of them immediately fell silent, and looked behind them, where several Jin soldiers were looking at them.

"Lei Tou, let's still follow these captives, when will this arrive!" Zhang Kui leaned over to the man and whispered.

"It's safe to follow them, there are already no people in these hundreds of miles, and if you leave the brigade, you will soon be discovered by the Jurchen rangers, wait until you get to Zhongjing!" The second baby said without raising her head. They had been following the northward march for more than ten days, and almost all the prefectures and counties they passed through had been destroyed by fire, and the contact points had also been severely damaged, although they had left secret marks along the way. But no one has contacted them.

"Qingyang is back!" Ba Zhouwu said suddenly.

"How's it going, did you find anything?" The old horse's head Han Falcon asked.

"No, I just used the excuse of looking for someone to go around town. There wasn't even a single dog, and the locals ran out. The inn has already burned down! Qingyang said with a sigh.

"Then I can only go to Yuzhou to see it again!" Han Falcon said that Liaojin in this area has been repeatedly contested. The informant who was stationed here may have been killed, or he may have been transferred to another location.

"Then it will take seven or eight days, not to mention exhaustion to death, and I will starve to death if I eat this all day long!" Li Tian sighed with a bitter face, "Zhang Kui, how about you go over there to get some wine and meat?" He suddenly smelled the aroma of wine and meat wafting in the wind, patted his companion's shoulder and pointed to the Jurchen camp and said.

"Don't dare!" Zhang Kui took a look, swallowed his saliva and said.

"Fifth uncle, you can't watch your eldest nephew starve to death!" Li Tian did not give up, leaned closer to Zhang Kui and said affectionately.

"Get out, I'm hungry and remember that I'm your uncle, go to your third uncle!" Zhang Kui said while hiding.

"Third uncle..."Li Tian said to Xue Hai pitifully.

"Zhang Kui doesn't dare, I don't dare!" Xue Hai hurriedly hid back.

"Call me Uncle Sheng, this vegetable dumpling is for you!" Qing Yang shook the vegetable dumplings in his hand and smiled.

"I'll you uncle..."Li Tian grabbed the sand and threw it towards Qingyang, the two of them made a fuss together, and the others not only didn't stop it, but watched them twist together with a smile...

Erwa looked at the messy partners, and a smile appeared on their gloomy faces, they were ordered by the prince to go to Shangjing in the Jin Kingdom to carry out the assassination mission codenamed 'Tu Hu', and the target was the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu begging. For this operation, the prince planned for several months, because he wanted to go deep behind enemy lines, cross most of the Jin country, and infiltrate the old nest of the Jurchens, it was decided that the special combat team and the intelligence department would jointly operate.

The assassination operation is mainly carried out by the special operations team, and the intelligence support and security along the route are entrusted to the Intelligence Division. In order to ensure the success of the operation, it can be described as elite. The Intelligence Department not only sent Han Falcon, a veteran of the Transportation Bureau who was familiar with the people's conditions and roads, but also transferred the iron hand Xue Hai to be responsible for the safety of the journey, and Li Jun even activated a few hidden sleepers to help them.

The special combat team selected five team members led by the captain Lei Zhenshan himself, in addition to good quality, the team members must also be loyal, otherwise once they miss and are captured, it will cause great damage to Hedong.

Qingyang is the eldest grandson of the former Hedong Intelligence Director Lei Mai, after he first entered Hedong, he followed the prince as a guard to receive training, speaking of which, in addition to the second baby, his qualifications are the oldest, he was later selected into the special combat team and has been in the intelligence support and support squadron. Needless to say, his loyalty is needless to say, and Qing Yang is proficient in Khitan language, familiar with the border situation, and what is even more rare is that he can write Khitan and Jurchen languages, and is an elite of all-round civil and military talents.

Zhang Kui and Ba Zhou have no need to say much, both of them were personally selected by the prince into the special combat team, one is bold and careful, the other is calm and cautious, the two are proficient in fighting, shooting, lurking and other special combat skills, both have rich practical combat experience, and have been rewarded many times. Moreover, both of them are of the Tibetan tribe in the northwest borderlands, and there is no problem in performing this kind of task in terms of appearance and language.

The only newcomer is this Li Tian, who was kidnapped into the Loyal Army. His father is Li Qian, the dog-legged soldier who acted as Zhao Kai to frame the prince. Li Tian can only be regarded as a small joke in Beijing compared to Zhao Ta, Gao Shan, and others, but he is also a well-known gentleman in Beijing. was ordered to provoke Zhang Feng and the two of them in the Yanwang Mansion. Zhao Ta tied him up during the operation to rescue Zhang Feng and used him to threaten Li Qian. Later, because of the participation of several big figures, it was inconvenient for them to show up again, so they were disdisappeared and sent to the Northwest Loyal and Brave Army for supervision.

Li Tian worked in the engineer battalion directly under the military department for half a year as a coolie for building bridges and fortifications, and he was not only obedient, but also in good health. The person who can mix up among the many sons and brothers in Beijing is certainly not stupid, and he also responds to the old saying that I am born to be useful, he has no interest in reading, but he is interested in the gunpowder that everyone avoids.

This is a terrible thing, not only can I be proficient in using this extremely dangerous thing. And he played tricks, he used gunpowder to make all kinds of explosives without a teacher, and blew it up wherever he wanted, and made it sound as much as he wanted, which alarmed the prince again. The prince looked at all kinds of things he made, not only did not punish him, but took him under his door and personally taught him how to use gunpowder. He became the premier demolition expert in the Loyal Army.

Although the kidnapping incident frightened the Li Mansion a little, in fact, their family did not suffer, and Li Qian was appreciated by the emperor and became a hot figure in the court. And Li Tian also knew that his family affairs were not authentic. It is also deserved to let people be pitted, and if he saved his life, he recited Amitabha, and his resentment towards the prince was much lighter. Later, I had more contact with the prince. The limelight has passed, and I was ready to send him back but was reluctant to leave. Live or die to stay in the loyal army and live this exciting life. This time, the prince found him a more exciting one...

Maybe it was because I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, maybe it was a good thing, as soon as the Hu Tu detachment left Hedong and entered Youzhou, it was caught by the Song army. Because they used Khitan names for the convenience of their activities, and they had money on them, they were immediately identified as Khitan fugitives, and their property was confiscated according to the agreement reached by Song and Jin, and they were sent to the Jurchens. They were immediately woven into the sequence of their northward migration and embarked on the road to Liaodong.

Although the food was almost good, the general direction was right, and it avoided the trouble of being investigated and hunted down on the road, so several people lied that they were a family and moved forward together. But the trouble is that they have difficulty communicating with the outside world, they have lost contact with their families, and what is even more annoying is that they do not carry the weapons necessary for the operation, and after the safe crossing according to the pre-arranged security will be provided by the Intelligence Division, so the group is now unarmed!

After several contact failures, Erwa became a little angry, not only will the family think that they died before they were born, but also out of order to protect the safety of the underground intelligence personnel, they will soon evacuate the liaison officers they know about the road, and cut off all the connections between the upper and lower lines, so it is almost impossible for the Tiger Slaughter Detachment to complete such a difficult task without the support and backup of intelligence.

As night fell, the bonfires slowly went out, and the darkness covered the entire ruins, but it was the craziest time of the day, and the Jurchens were the devils of the night, and they roamed the camp in groups of three and two, plundering the little possessions of the immigrants, and the women with a slight appearance were the objects of their aggression, and they were like beasts who committed adultery under the gaze of their families, and the slightest resistance was the landing of human heads.

The miserable cries, the angry roars, the cruel laughter of the abusers... Echoing in the ruins, the Jurchens had no interest in Erwa and their group of old men who were so poor that they only had clothes on their bodies, and hurriedly walked past them, but they didn't know that they were wandering around the ghost gate, if it wasn't for Erwa to stop them, they would have lost a few lives.

"Ma Tou, we can't go on like this, otherwise we will make a mistake!" Erwa whispered, but he looked at a tent fifty paces away from them, only there was a bonfire lit there, and outside the tent there were always golden soldiers standing guard, driving away everyone who tried to get close.

"Well, there are still thousands of miles to go to Beijing, and we won't be able to walk with them for another month, but how can we go?" Han Falcon nodded and said, the more you want to go north, the more Jurchens there are, and the stricter the interrogation will be, and you can't cross the border without a proper identity.

"Qingyang, who is living in the tent over there?" The second baby patted the Qingyang Road who was pretending to sleep on the side.

"I don't know, but these people seem to have a good background, that is, the Jin army marching thousands of households who escorted the immigrants were polite to them, but they all ignored them!" Qing Yang looked up and said.

"Oh, aren't they on the same team as the escort us?" Erwa said with some surprise.

"It's not. I saw them arrive in the evening, with only two suitcases. It seems that I am staying here! Zhang Kui interjected, "The marching thousand households also asked them how the emperor was." It should be the front guard of Akuta's tent. ”

"Two days ago, I heard the Jurchens talking about what the emperor changed to Zhongjing on the way, and the mysterious seems to be seriously ill!" Li Tian shook a handful of thatch in his hand to drive away mosquitoes and said.

"Oh... How many people are there? Xue Hai sat up and asked.

"I'll tell you what you hid for me to eat?" Li Tian stretched out his hand.

", I don't have any jerky, tell me quickly!" Xue Hai opened his hand and said.

"Don't lie to me, your back seems to be a lot thicker when you come back with a pee, but you're not a!" Li Tian stretched out another hand and said with a hippie smile.

"Damn, your hands and feet are not good, but your eyes are very thief, say it quickly!" Xue Hai pulled out a small bag from under his body and threw it to Li Tiandao.

"Eleven people. Fifteen horses, all in iron armor, six with spears, five with long knives, three of them with crossbows, the rest with bows! Li Tian quickly unwrapped the package, took out a piece of meat and said, "The leader is a centurion..."

"Anything else?"

"They were ordered to go to Beijing to deliver something!" Li Tian said while pulling the package with Zhang Kui.

"How do you see so clearly?" Xue Hai asked curiously, what is special about these people. Can get this kid's attention.

"Because these people are so strange, they don't fight on hot days, and they are still dressed in iron armor, and they look at people like thieves. So I took a second look! Li Tian took a hard bite on Zhang Kui's hand, snatched all the jerky, turned over and pressed under him and said.

"Alright. Don't make a fuss, we have something to do! Erwa pondered for a moment and said.

………

Early the next morning. The team that moved north slowly reassembled and embarked on the journey, and hundreds of corpses were scattered on the camp they had just left. No one noticed that a few inconspicuous slaves were missing from them. Less than ten miles in front of them, there had just been a brief encounter, and the corpses on the ground were quickly dragged into the woods, blood covered as if nothing had happened.

"These guys are hard enough, look at this knife is thirty pounds, he can move it with one hand!" Xue Hai said as he swept the long knife he had taken off a corpse.

"No matter how powerful he is, he will fall into our way, and a rope will kill him!" Zhang Kui said as he took off the armor of the corpse.

"Thunder head, I don't shave my head, it's too ugly!" Li Tian covered his head and dodged, but Erwa didn't give him a chance at all, and with a wave of his hand, he pressed Li Tian under him without a tiger pounce, holding his chin with one hand and pressing the top of his head with the other, so that he couldn't make a sound and struggled, as long as he twisted it, he was like the Jurchen who was killed by him just now.

The kung fu didn't last long, there were only a few sleek corpses left on the ground, and several people in the Tiger Slayer Detachment had also changed, the hair on their heads was bare, the back of their heads was floating with a small tail, and they were wearing Jurchen iron armor, "Horse head, did he say everything?" Erwa handed a pair of armor to Han Falcon.

"Recruited!" Han Falcon took the armor and said lightly.

"Qingyang, what is their identity?" At this time, Qingyang followed, and Erwa asked.

"Vomit..."Qing Yang retched twice before saying, "They are the personal guards under Ah Guta's tent, and they were escorted back to Shangjing by Ah Guta's order, and handed them over to Wu Qi to buy, as for what the boxes contained, they don't know what is in them, this is a gold medal given by the emperor, and the state capital and tribe on this road must give them assistance!" Qingyang said that he handed over a brand to Erwa.

"Let's open the box and take a look, there must be a treasure inside!" Li Tian said excitedly.

"It's better not to move, the box has a lacquer seal, and the lock is very delicate, it is difficult to open without breaking it!" Han warned him.

"Qingyang, what's wrong with you, don't change your clothes yet!" After Zhang Kui saw Qingyang coming out of the forest, he sat on the side with a pale face, as if he was frightened, and stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while!" Qingyang raised his head and squeezed out a smile and said.

"That kid looks very difficult to deal with, why did he recruit him after such a while?" Zhang Kui asked curiously, in order to find out the situation, they left a living mouth when they sniped the Jurchens.

"Hehe, you can go and see it!" Qingyang pointed to the forest they had just walked out of and said with a wry smile.

"Gross..." Zhang Kui couldn't help but vomit when he saw it, and Xue Hai, who was following him, also had a bad face, and he couldn't bear to vomit.

"What did you do?" Zhang Kui wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked about the sheep, he shook his head and looked at Han Falcon, who was tidying up the saddle as if nothing had happened. Xue Hai and Zhang Kui glanced at each other, revealing a look of disbelief, they couldn't imagine that this old man who was not amazing still had such a hand.

"Silly, he is the senior brother of that person in the mansion, you all have to be careful in front of him in the future!" Erwa looked at the two of them and said as they shook their fans.

"Which one is that?" Xue Hai asked Zhang Kui suspiciously.

"Which one else, it's the guy who is smiling and hiding a knife in his hand in the big winter next to the boss who is also holding a fan in his hand!" Zhang Kui touched the back of his neck that was blowing in the cold wind and said.

"Is that him? Old Door Master! Xue Hai's face changed drastically, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Han Falcon... (To be continued.) )
