Chapter 181: Interception

Although it has entered autumn, but the autumn tiger is still very powerful, in the early morning the branch brigades will get up early and rush to the road, the official road leading to Pingzhou is full of cars, several carriages are slowly moving forward under the escort of a team of Jurchen cavalry, and those who can be escorted by the official army are either rich or expensive, and the pedestrian caravans on the road have dodged, guessing what kind of person is in the car.

Shi Liai squinted and sat in the car, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, with the development of the situation, these Jurchens paid more and more attention to them, and everything was inseparable from them, and it seemed that he was on the right path to reject Song Toujin.

"Uncle, this trip to Beijing has been very fruitful!" Shi Jun, who was sitting at the back of the car, lowered the curtain and said.

"Well, the gold lord treats us well, and we need to do our best to do things!" Shi Liai stroked his beard lightly and said that he was ordered to go to Beijing this time, and was not only personally summoned by the Golden Emperor Wu Qimai, but also participated in the imperial deliberations and asked for his opinion.

"The Jurchens were born in a barbaric land, they don't know etiquette, and it's not because their uncle set the etiquette and system for them, so that they didn't lose face in front of the countries, shouldn't they thank us well!" Shi Junmei said with a smile, he looked down on these Jurchens who came out of the frontier and came from a barbaric land, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't know how to bury them with the emperor's gift after Ah Gu was killed, or it was under the teaching of these former ministers of the Liao State that the Dajin Kingdom learned how to treat people and things, and approached the level of the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's already unkind for me to serve the second master, and you can't regenerate dissent as an official this time!" Shi Liai opened his eyes and stared at his nephew and said, the Jurchens were grateful to them for their dedicated assistance and made several of his sons and nephews officials. But they haven't put themselves in the right place, and that's dangerous.

"Little nephew doesn't dare!" Shi Jun was taken aback by his uncle's sharp gaze. Hurriedly bowed his head and replied.

"This time in Beijing, the gold owner has already intended to attack the Song Dynasty. This is an opportunity for our family, and you all have to do your best to repay the kindness of your knowledge! Shi Liai nodded and admonished.

"The sixth uncle is far-sighted, which is really a great blessing for the family, so that my family can make a comeback, and my nephew admires it!" Shi Jun hurriedly sent his farts to the road.

"Hmph, the Song people ruined my family's century-old foundation and made the people miserable, how can I ignore it!" Shi Liai said awe-inspiringly. Now the situation has been completed, since Yelu Yanxi was captured, more and more people have joined the ranks of lobbying to attack the Song Dynasty, and they are just adding fuel to the fire...

Those Khitans who lost their country and lost the emperor and joined the Jurchens had no hatred for this Jin country that destroyed their country, and he knew that he could not afford to provoke this new master, so he could only transfer his hatred to the body of the Great Song Dynasty.

Encourage the two countries to start fighting. Not only can they eliminate the hatred in their hearts, but they also defeat each other, even if they can't return to the country, with the power of the Jurchens. The Great Song Dynasty didn't get anything good. This will not only soothe the wounded heart, but also please the new master. Therefore, not only did those old ministers of the Liao State try their best to pry them off, but they also cut off the concubines who could not be newly married. The pillow people of Sticky Han's Gangna are blowing the pillow wind violently, they are not Yelu Yanxi's old love. is a delicate guest in the family, can he be willing to end up like this?

It is said that the Youyan Han people of the same clan as the Great Song Dynasty are unwilling to 'return to China'. But it will not follow the coaxing, but at this time, due to the change of the "Yixia View" and "Orthodox View" of the Youyun Han people, by the middle and late Liao Dynasty, the Youyun Han people in its territory have generally recognized the orthodox status of the Liao Dynasty, and they are no longer the people who "have their hearts to the Central Plains" back then.

After a hundred years of struggle, a considerable number of upper-class Han people have entered the ruling group of the Liao Dynasty, and their families have also laid a foundation and prospered, so they naturally do not want the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty to destroy this hard-won achievement, and the lower-class people also live in peace, are not happy to fight, and are content with the current Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Liao.

But the Great Song Dynasty must liberate these siblings, uncles and uncles who are still living under the oppression of the Khitans, but they did not adopt appropriate methods, let alone give them a happy life, so not only did they not get support, but they turned against each other and became the vanguard of the Jin invasion of the south, actively giving them advice and assisting them wholeheartedly.

For the Song people to form an alliance and defeat the alliance, it was regarded as a common behavior, which had long made the Jurchens resentful. In the initial stage of dealing with the Song people, they were still relatively honest, because they had a kind of awe and admiration for this heavenly kingdom in their hearts.

But after a long time, the Song people's cowardly, ignorant, cowardly, and greedy bad nature is known to them, and their attitude towards the Song has also undergone a fundamental change.

With the demise of the Liao regime, the expansion of the power of the Jin slave owners, accompanied by the advocacy and promotion of the Jin Yan landlord group, and in view of the conflict between the active defensive strategy of the Song regime, the Jin rulers were determined to launch a war to meet the needs of the Jurchens to plunder their property and slaves in the war, and to lose their interests and reduce the needs of the Jin Yan people to return to their hometowns.

………

Songlinpo is an inconspicuous hill on the upper side of the Zhongyuan Avenue outside the Guanguan, named only because it is overgrown with pine trees, and no one would notice it if it were not for the fact that it can provide a shade from the sun and rain for the traveling merchants. It's noon, and it's hard to see pedestrians on the road, except for the occasional messenger hurrying by.

"Four treasures, are they all arranged?" In the woods, there were more than a dozen pack horses tied to one side, and several people were sitting or lying down in the shade of the trees, and a bearded man asked a strong man dressed as a Khitan who hurriedly walked in.

"Head, it's arranged, the people who want to go into the woods have been driven away, and the official road is full of mountain tigers!" Sibao said respectfully.

"Are these people reliable, haven't you told them more?" The bearded man asked.

"Head, how so? The mountain tiger is a thief who sees money and kills people and sells goods, he just thinks we are helping the rogues, and he will leave after crossing the border! Sibao explained.

"Well, how did you pull them over?" The bearded man nodded and asked again.

"I said there was a big deal, let's leave when we were done, and we wouldn't grab his territory. This kid has a lot of eyes and is greedy, as soon as he hears that it is a big deal, he will intervene, and he will divide us fifty percent, and he will follow him! Sibao said with a smile.

"Hehe, people die for money, birds die for food, Sibao, you show your face, come home with us after this is over, you can't stay here any longer!" The bearded man said.

"Yes, shall we all go back together?" Sibao nodded.

"Well, the boss ordered us to evacuate as soon as we killed the surname!" Dahan replied, "The surname Shi is no better than others, and the Jurchens will not give up when he dies." ”

"Head, who is our boss, can I see him when I go back?" Sibao has been curious for a long time, and the boss Shenlong is nowhere to be seen, but his deeds are widely spread in the 'Iron Hand', and those who have seen the boss are full of admiration, but they never mention the identity of the boss, let alone his appearance.

"If we succeed in sniping the surname Shi this time, the boss will definitely award us with the award in person, and you will be able to meet him then!" Xue Hai patted Sibao on the shoulder and said, it was he who gave the order of the prince to preside over this hoeing operation, killed more than a dozen influential traitors, and caused shocks in the Yanjing area.

The main target of this hoeing operation is this Shi Liai, but because of his sudden departure, he must not be let go temporarily, and he will take action against other people on the blacklist, but it is also a surprise, if he returns to Pingzhou, it will be more difficult, so Xue Hai changed the location of the action to Shi Liai on the way home.

Because the prince wanted to avoid irritating the Jurchens at this delicate moment in the relationship between Song and Jin, he could only 'blame' those Khitans, so the killers recruited this time were all Khitans, and Xu promised them a lot of money to ensure their safety after completing the task, and even if these people were caught by mistake, they would not know that the 'black hand' behind this operation was Zhao Ta, who was far away in the river.

"Head, an army of about 500 cavalry came out of Pingzhou City early this morning, and it is less than thirty miles away from Yuguan, depending on the situation, we want to meet our goal!" This is a horse rushing into the woods and announcing to Xue Hai.

"Thirty miles?!" Xue Hai was taken aback when he heard this, a distance of thirty miles would only take half an hour for the cavalry to arrive at full speed, and now Shi Liai had not yet shown his head.

"Han Dong, you immediately search north along the official road, and check how far the target is from here, Banu, you lead three people to the south to monitor the Jin Army cavalry, and report every five miles!" Xue Hai quickly calmed down, whether it was Chong Shi Liai or not, it would affect this operation, but if he gave up waiting for him to enter the city, it would be even more difficult, so Xue Hai had to find out the situation first...

A quarter of an hour later, two sentinels sent back information one after another, and the Jin army was not found ten miles away, and Shi Liai's convoy was less than three miles away. Xue Hai was in a dilemma, if the ambush convoy could not get rid of the target in a short time, it would be difficult for them to get rid of the pursuers when the Jin army brigade arrived. However, if you want to give up this operation, when Shi Liai and the Jin Army Brigade will merge into Pingzhou City, it will not be as easy as others to kill him.

"Head, what should I do?" Sibao and several people looked at him and asked.

"The plan remains the same, and the battle is resolved quickly!" Xue Hai pondered for a moment and said... (To be continued......)
