Yan Shu raised his binoculars and looked over. He wanted to see the scenery outside the city, more like seeing what was the difference between the Liao army and the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

But when he raised his eyes and looked out, he couldn't see a single Liao person.

"Is Yelu Sect really coming with great fanfare?" Zhang Yao didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only say truthfully: "It's the ground!" A few days earlier, the Admiral had ordered the scouts to take the trail to investigate, and found the banner, as well as the elite cavalry. ”

"What elite?"

"Falling River!" This is a title, the title of an elite army that has been passed down for hundreds of years, just like the white-robed army of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as long as the name is mentioned, it will make people frightened.

biqμgètν.net Zhang Yao breathed tightly, and said with a serious face: "Yan Xiang, it's not that the lower officials are incompetent and afraid, it's really that Luoluo River is too strong...... Yan Shu's expression was solemn: "This old man knows...... According to the classics, in the former Tang Dynasty, An Lushan led 3,000 Luluo River to intercept Guo Ziyi's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and even relied on this army to almost hit Chang'an City, causing Xuanzong to flee in despair......"

"Yan Xianggao will not be able to see the end!" This is pure sycophancy...... Zhang Yao was worried that he would be reprimanded by Yan Shu for his cowardice, and when the time came, he would take him down on the spot, and there would really be no place to cry.

"Luluo River, Luluo River......" Yan Shu muttered a few times, only to find out that he didn't know anything about military affairs, so he turned back and asked Qin Weidao: "Do you know about this army?" This gesture made Zhang Yao breathe a sigh of relief.

As a martial artist, he must follow Yan Shu's orders, after all, he is the marshal of Zhao Zhenqinfeng.

But he was afraid that when he was about to fight, Yan Shu did not listen to persuasion, and forcibly pointed fingers at the war, and even the formation was ...... As a result, he still has to take the blame after the big defeat.

Let professional people do professional things, and there will be professional results! But some civil officials want to be proud of their civil and military skills, and then when they ask if they can kill the enemy, they immediately reveal their true form, saying that they have learned from ten thousand enemies.

Ten thousand enemies probably means to surrender without a fight, as if I can stand here alone and block the attack of thousands of troops.

It seems that with a wave of his hand, Lao Tzu can kill a child! But everyone has searched all the books that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty need to read, and there are a lot of classics and histories, but they haven't seen any professors how to be commanders.

But even so, no one dares to expose it, the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are so good, so good that even the emperor has to look at their faces.

Fortunately, Yan Shu didn't pretend to understand, but asked Qin Wei, this is an excellent posture and beginning, after all, Qin Wei's military talent is obvious to everyone.

"Falling River?" Qin Wei chuckled, looked at the north and said: "Yan Gong, there are not a few people who are known as strong troops in the Liao Kingdom, not to mention the Luoluo River, remember that Yelu Zongzhen came to Shuozhou in person this time, how can there be no elite around him?" I'm afraid that at this moment, all the elites of the Liao Kingdom have already gathered outside this Yanmen Pass. Yan Shu no longer had any doubts, nodded and said, "In this case, let's send an envoy!" "Generally every time there is a big war, the two armies will send envoys to negotiate politely before the battle, regardless of whether the two sides have reached a dog's brain, but the matter on the face cannot be left behind.

Therefore, the mission has become a nonsense and solemn matter. Nonsense is because a big war never ends with the beep of a few envoys, and solemnly, the envoys represent the face of the country.

If the envoy is weak, the morale of the enemy country will be arrogant, and once the war starts, the momentum of both sides will be different.

And if it's too tough...... Easy to hang. Saying that the two countries are at war and don't kill them, that's verbal politeness, if you really provoke people, don't kill you?

Don't chop it up, you're light. So everyone picked left and right, and felt that this messenger was really hard to find.

Those who have courage are not enough, and those who have enough identity are all civil officials, and they lack the courage of military generals.

If only Gong Kou was still there...... Everyone not only remembered the Kou Zhun who grabbed Zhenzong's arm and forced him to drive the expedition himself.

So when Cao Xi, who had packed up, came out, didn't everyone find that the candidate for the messenger was close at hand?

The Cao family was born as a military general, and Cao Xi is a rare station among the nobles, so he has such an identity and momentum, who else can he go if he doesn't go?

Yan Shu immediately ordered Cao Xi to send an envoy to Northern Liao, and the latter did not talk nonsense and received the military order on the spot. ……

"Let's go!" Cao Xi set off with more than 100 sergeants in high spirits, and suddenly, Qin Wei only felt that there was an illusion that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold.

That one...... Brother, I wish you a safe return. The mountain road outside Yanmen Pass was rugged, and after walking down for a few miles, everyone finally came to a place that was not called spacious, and the accompanying civil officials couldn't help but sigh.

"Cao Guogong, please look, there...... It was the place where General Yang Ye broke the enemy army back then, and to this day, I can feel the tragedy on the battlefield that day! "Most civil officials have friendships, especially in a place with such a strong atmosphere, it is even more hypocritical.

"Loyal to the ages!" Cao Xi's mood was agitated, and he said: "Thinking back then, Yang Gong led thousands of people to resist the more than 10,000 troops of the Liao State, but Yanmen Pass still belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, those drums and horns are contending, and those swords and swords are ...... With these loyal souls here, how dare we slack off? Keep your head high on this trip! As soon as these words came out, the momentum in the team rose at once, this is the wrist of the general, and just a few words made the low morale become excited.

Slowly went out, and when they got out of this mountain range, smoke and dust appeared in front of them.

"Guogong, it's the ranger of the Liao army!" The scout hurried back, his face flustered. How many years have passed, and the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom have been peaceful for a long time, is it going to change today?

There was something unnatural on everyone's faces. The ferocity of the Liao people has long been imprinted in their bones, so even a small group of rangers will still make them restless.

"It's just a roam, it's all for Lao Tzu to stabilize, don't panic." Cao Xi held the hilt of the knife and rode forward, he was about to negotiate in person, but a familiar voice came from behind him: "Don't you go...... Who is talking?"

Cao Xi's body stiffened, and he looked back mechanically...... Then he beat him violently and said angrily: "Qin Wei, you brute! Didn't you say no? "Qin Wei is the vanguard general of this trip, but he also has the position of joining the army, if he appears in the team of envoys, then this envoy will no longer be Cao Xi's decision.

Qin Wei was dressed in the official uniform of a civil official at this moment, and said with a pure smile: "Before coming out, Your Majesty said that you want to know what kind of person Yeluzong really is, so you must come to see the truth of Yeluzong for Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhen was moved out, and Cao Xi could only stop talking, glaring at him fiercely and not speaking.

There were sergeants in front to negotiate with the Liao army, but the Liao cavalry still outflanked them from the left and right.

"It's up to you to make this trip." Qin Wei's words made Cao Xi's heart happy, but then it was a blow.

"Just keep the momentum, if you have a decision, listen to so-and-so." Why do you want me to call the shots? The bamboo shoots on the mountain have been taken by you!

Cao Xi couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't that a puppet?" Look-alike? ”

"This ...... The division of labor is different. "Cao Xi has never seen a big battle, and Yan Shu is worried that he will lose ground in the face of Yelu Zongzhen, so he has no choice but to let Qin Wei pretend to be a civil official.

If there was a choice, Yan Shu would never let Qin Wei take risks. After all, Qin Wei at this time was by no means lighter than the tens of thousands of Song troops in Yanmen Pass in the eyes of the Liao people.

If he can capture Qin Wei alive and get those shocking weapons, not to mention the loss of some people, even if Yelu Zongzhen buys his wife, he is probably willing.

Those weapons are miracles! And the person who created this miracle is right in front of him at this moment, if he is Yelu Zong, will he really let Qin Wei leave safely?

If Qin Wei folded in Liao, it is no exaggeration to say that the Great Song Dynasty will no longer have the possibility of looking north! At this time, a team of Liao cavalry came from the front, and asked close to the front and back, "Who is Cao Cao Guogong?" ”

"So-and-so!" At this moment, Cao Yu was extremely solemn, looking a little more powerful, this is the momentum that the children of the family have cultivated since childhood, but they have been used to pretending to be grandchildren over the years, and now they look a little uncomfortable.

General Liao was also very polite, and said with a smile: "I've seen Cao Guogong, so let's hurry." "The two countries are still brothers, and it is impolite for everyone to shout and kill when they meet before the artillery hits each other's territory.

…… The mission followed the Liao generals all the way north, and did not reach the Chinese camp of the Liao army until noon the next day.

Cao Xi looked at the countless galloping cavalry in front of him, sometimes separated, sometimes converged...... It was so majestic and terrifying that it was terrifying.

"Is this the Liao Army?" General Liao was the first to go in to report, and later an official came out, he took a closer look at the members of the mission, and said, "The sergeant will stay and make arrangements, and the rest will wait and follow so." Everyone followed the officials into the city and was searched outside a large mansion, no matter how depressed Cao Xi was, he had never experienced such a thing.

Lao Tzu is also the Duke of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he is not as good as before, he has not been treated like this! The martial artist's temper suddenly came up, and Cao Yu said coldly: "You search so carefully, are you worried that we will do such a trivial thing?" I am the state of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, you wait for this to be an insult! The sergeant who searched him ignored him, and continued to search the envoys behind, and even Qin Wei, who was mixed in the company, did not let go.

The officials on the side were not annoyed when they heard this, but just smiled faintly: "Cao Guogong, don't worry, if our envoy goes to Bianliang at this moment, I'm afraid he will inevitably be searched, right?" ”

"That's the place of my Great Song Majesty!"

"But my Emperor Da Liao is here!" The two sides were opponents from this moment on, fighting each other in words, and eager to kill each other immediately in their eyes, but they both maintained basic calm and did not make a direct move.

After the search, the group walked a little further inside and came to the outside of a house, where the guards outside the door stopped again, signaling that so many people should not enter.

This is understandable, after all, Yelu Zong is really here, and he must be cautious if he is in person.
