CHAPTER XIII

Along the way, there were not many pedestrians, and when I saw a group of dozens of them, a combination of officials and soldiers, they had already flashed to the side with interest and did not dare to block the way.

When they arrived near Han Shizhong's Jiedu Embassy's mansion, the pedestrians became more and more sparse, and the armored sergeants of the brigade were holding spears, and the guards were resting on both sides of the road.

Ye Zongge's face was solemn, knowing that although his party was in a hurry, the news must have reached Han Shizhong's ears a long time ago, and the other party acted like this, obviously gathering elite soldiers and preparing to go to Lin'an to defeat Miao Fu.

He traveled all the way, because he was wearing an official uniform and had the identity of coming to the edict, several patrol teams came forward to check, and they passed all the way unimpeded.

"What a madman!"

Ye Zongge was about to stop the war horse, but he felt a strong wind on his side, and when he turned his head, he saw that someone was holding the horse's neck with his hand and clamping the horse alive.

The horse was in pain, roaring and jumping, but it couldn't move.

Ye Zongge's forehead was sweating, and his face changed greatly.

He stepped off the war horse, originally selected from the forbidden army's war horse, and he was not tired of rushing every day for the past few days. The horses are tall and excellent for long sprints. Such a tall horse was gently held by one hand, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move.

What a miracle it has to be to do this!

He was surprised in his heart, just looked at the military general who was holding the horse, and for a while he forgot to pay attention to the war horse, the military general's face was full of beards, the roots were uplifted, and his color was still red, and when he saw him sitting upright on the horse and did not move, he snorted coldly: "What, wait for me to fall the horse?" ”

Ye Zongge suddenly realized, and said in a loud voice: "The general's divine power, the subordinate officials are respectful." ”

As he spoke, he jumped off the horse and soothed the horse with a loud voice, and after a half-noise, the war horse quieted down, and the general slowly unloaded his strength and let the war horse go.

He was very disrespectful to Ye Zongge, but the other party did not express any annoyance, but was very amazed by his strength, and at the same time, there was no fear and panic. The military general thought about it for a while, and didn't want to help the marshal offend people, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Ye Zongge: "The last general is offended by words, don't blame the adults." ”

"Well, where did this come from? It's me who is too Meng Lang, and I am in a hurry, and I actually galloped in front of your handsome door, and I deserved to be pulled by you like this. ”

Ye Zongge is cool by nature, where would he care about people in such a trivial matter. While praising the general's divine power, he hurried to the gate and explained his intention to the officer guarding the door.

He held the edict in his hand, although Han Shizhong held the festival and sealed the territory, the gatekeeper did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in and went to report.

Taking advantage of this little leisure, Ye Zongge hurriedly asked the military general of Shicai again: "General Shenwu, the lower officials are very admired, don't know the honorable name?" ”

"The last general Xie Yuan...... I really offended the adults just now. ”

As the saying goes, when dealing with people, the first image is extremely important. This Ye Zongge is bold by nature, likes to make friends, and his appearance and demeanor in talking and doing things are very convincing. He himself is a civil official in the center of the imperial court who was ordered to issue an edict, and when it comes to status, he is much higher than this general, at this time, not only does he not care about the other party's rudeness, but he admires it again and again, but it makes Xie Yuan blush.

"Ah, it turned out to be General Xie, it's strange that Dao is so brave!"

This Xie Yuan was originally a deputy general under the command of Han Shizhong, the previous Jin soldiers invaded the south, the Shizhong Department could not resist, the whole army was defeated, only Xie Yuan led more than 20 soldiers, he first rode alone, rushed into the enemy's hundreds of cavalry formations, shouted and shouted, stabbed a Jurchen Mouke with a single gun, and killed the rest of the army, and for a time the brave name was crowned in the south of the Yangtze River, which was praised by the people of the time.

Ye Zongge patted his knees and smiled: "General Xie, I was still present when you were awarded the edict of the Pavilion Men for your military exploits. When I heard about your deeds, Xia Guan admired it very much. ”

He licked his lips and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that this time the matter is urgent, and I can't get drunk with the general!" ”

Xie Yuan is also a martial artist, seeing that the other party is so straightforward, he is overjoyed, and only said: "I'm afraid of what, our commander is going to move troops, my lord and we will kill Lin'an together, and after destroying the traitor, let's have a good drink!" ”

Ye Zongge just shook his head and said, "I'm here for this matter, General, it's not that simple. ”

Xie Yuan said: "How is it not simple. Let's eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king's affairs. Now that the Lord is covered with dust and trapped by traitorous ministers, we will naturally raise our swords and go to escort them. ”

Ye Zongge's heart moved, and he asked, "Does General Han think the same way?" ”

Xie Yuan replied, "It's nature. ”

"With only one general, there are also 10,000 people in the Lin'an Forbidden Army, and they are defending the city, and the outcome of the war is unknown."

Xie Yuan laughed and said, "My lord, you are still a happy person, and now you will come to me?" ”

Ye Zongge's face was slightly red, he was indeed not good at conspiracy and tricks, and his tricks were extremely clumsy, and he was seen at a glance by this seemingly rude and unliterate martial artist.

But hearing Xie Yuan, he smiled again: "Seeing that the adult is also a straight person, we won't hide it from you." Last night, the envoy of Liu Guangshi arrived in the city and talked with the commander for half the night, thinking that the two marshals said that they would use troops against Lin'an. ”

He squinted at Ye Zongge and said: "My lord looks like a soldier, and you should know that the combined strength of our two marshals is more than 100,000, and they are all elites who can fight and dare to fight. ”

Ye Zongge was silent, but he didn't want to argue with this brave general.

Not to mention whether soldiers should be used or not, even the statement of 100,000 tigers and wolves is also very watery. Last time, after Yan Zonghan raised a large army to invade the south, Liu Guangshi's army of 50,000 or 60,000 people was defeated without a fight, and Han Shizhong's army was also defeated in a battle, and most of the soldiers fled.

In the past six months, the two have re-gathered the army, and there should be more than 30,000 people in the Han Department and more than 40,000 people in the Liu Department, adding up to just over 70,000. This Xie Yuan is obviously dizzy, and he also exaggerates the number of people to his own people.

It's just that the other party attacked with these 70,000 people, and it was not the forbidden army soldiers under Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan who could resist it.

If this is the case, Jiangnan will be in chaos, and King Kang will be reinstated.

was thinking in his heart, but he heard a sound of ironclad armor, and dozens of pro-army soldiers with heavy armor were led by the talented middle officer, and they were murderous and came straight towards him.

A little closer, the officer shouted: "The commander has an order, order the puppet officer to enter the meeting!" ”

Ye Zongge was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded: "I am an official of the imperial court, or a jinshi taken by the emperor, what are you, dare to insult me like this!" ”

He was reprimanded by Xie Yuan at the right time, and he was not angry, at this time he was furious, his face was pale, and he was wearing a serious civilian official uniform, with a fish rune jade belt hanging from his waist, so he was reprimanded, and the Chinese officer didn't dare to reply for a while.

The most important scholar in the Song Dynasty, the status of the military was deliberately suppressed, and these civil officials were not even afraid of the emperor, let alone the martial arts. Although it was a troubled time at this time, the old habits had not been changed for a while, Ye Zongge brought the shelves of the Jinshi and the central civil servants of the younger court, and they were so frightened that these soldiers in heavy armor and armed with swords and guns did not dare to answer.

After being stunned for a while, the officer changed his smiling face and said to Ye Zongge: "My lord, the words of the marshal are like this, don't embarrass us." ”

Seeing that Ye Zongge ignored it with a blank face, he said again: "Since this is the case, the last general will accompany you, please go in and talk to the handsome, can you do it?" ”
