The old man Zeng came out to greet him in person, trying to invite the imperial court team to Zengtou City to rest, but everyone outside was indifferent, and the team did not move at all. There was no chance to stuff gold and silver, and the angels from Bianliang City took the lead in attacking.

The eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were not called eunuchs, they were generally called internal servants, internal ministers, eunuchs, and middle officials, and the Song people did not call them "fathers-in-law", but generally called their official positions, and "middle nobles" were the honorific titles of eunuchs from outside the palace. The senior eunuchs should be honored as the big officials, the middle eunuchs should be the cabinet chiefs, and the small eunuchs should be collectively referred to as the little yellow gates.

Song Huizong was very concerned about this matter and sent a eunuch with the rank of a big official. This person was richly dressed, in his forties, with a soft complexion, and pinched the orchid finger on the horse and shouted: "Hmph, you have bullied the people in Zengtou City in recent years, and you are in the fish and meat township!" He also sent thieves to sneak into the palace to steal the jade seal, trying to dedicate it to the Taizu of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"I, you ......" had heard it so clearly and clearly, trembling all over his body and trembling his mouth. Half-out of the whole word. He finally understood where the bad premonition came from, he was cheated by others.

Zeng Lang couldn't speak, and the sons around him were furious, roaring like thunder: "Fart, don't spew blood, we took it from the Liao caravan." ”

"Won from the Liao caravan?" The eunuch sneered again and again, and took out the holy decree and read it: "Carried by heaven, the emperor said." Zengtou City relied on his foreign identity to do mischief. ordered the return of the jade seal, and expelled the territory of the Song Dynasty after the Duanyang Festival. If the resistance is not respectful, in an instant, the army will set foot in Zengtou City. ”

"Ahh When I heard the contents of the holy decree, I screamed strangely and almost fainted!

The eunuch's surname was Liu, and he was always articulate

, asked again and again: "Is the jade seal in Zengtou City?" Are you planning to dedicate it to the Taizu of the Dajin Kingdom? All the people in the world know about it, and you don't want to deny it. ”

The more Zeng rang listened, the paler his face became, and his face was like ashes.

The faces of Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi and others around them changed, even if they were reckless, they also sensed that something was wrong. Zeng Toushi fell into a trap.

Zengtou City is not secret, and the news of the jade seal has spread and aroused covetousness from all sides. First of all, there were non-governmental organizations in various mountains, and the imperial court was also attracted.

Even though it was really robbed, even though they really didn't sneak into the palace, despite all the quibbles and explanations, it was useless. Because the jade seal is in their hands, they also plan to dedicate it to the Taizu of the Jin Kingdom. That's enough, the yellow mud falls into the crotch of the pants, it's not but is.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

Zengtou City's own strength is insufficient, and it is a little weak in the face of strongmen from all walks of life. What's more, the official of the Song Dynasty came in person? There is no power to resist at all, and if the jade seal is not handed over, Zengtou City will really be razed to the ground by the imperial court!

In order to protect the clansmen, Zeng Lane had to hand over the jade seal! In the unwilling eyes of Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi and many others, the exquisite jade box was held out.

"Hehehe, that's right! Those who know the times are Junjie! The eunuch surnamed Liu smiled. took the jade box and opened it to see the jade seal inside, a smile appeared on his fair face, and he subconsciously pinched an orchid finger and his voice was sharp. While others were not paying attention, he stuffed the note in his hand to Zeng Lang.

"The official instructed, according to this, after the matter is completed, the court will also repay the favor. From Cangzhou, send you back to the north by sea. In this way, you don't have to cross the territory of Liao, and you can be safe

Then he returned to his hometown. Whoever has allowed you to run rampant all these years can only expel you. ”

The last sentence was very loud, Liu Daguan snorted coldly, holding the jade box and leaving with his sleeves. Then he turned on his horse and led the Imperial City Forbidden Army to continue to move forward.

Zeng Lang's nostalgic gaze watched the court team go away, and he stomped his feet and sighed helplessly. Looking at the contents of the note again, the old face had a complicated expression. The reason why the imperial court did not eliminate Zengtou City was just that it did not want to offend Dajin in the north. Otherwise, for the crime of stealing the treasures of the palace, you will not be able to avoid being washed in blood.

"Oh, father, is that really it?"

The five tigers of the Zeng family were all a little unwilling, and they came to Zeng Lang's side and gritted their teeth.

"Under the fence, I have to give in!" Zeng sighed, and then found several sons by his side and instructed them to choose the strongest sons.

Seeing all this, Shi Wengong and Su Ding retreated into the crowd and turned to leave.

The scene of the forbidden army in the imperial city asking for the jade seal and quickly retreating.

From beginning to end, all of them fell into the eyes of the spies of the major forces. Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Baoqishan, and Liangshan gathered again to discuss and make decisions.

"Damn, the court will also intervene, and the jade seal will change hands, so what?" Tian Hu's face was gloomy and terrifying, he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

Fang Xuedu looked at the king who was a little crotch-pulling, coughed a few times and said the point: "Everyone, don't be silent, according to the report of the spies, the target of these imperial city forbidden forces is Lingzhou City." How can we snatch the jade seal? ”

Li Zhudao said in a stern voice: "No matter what, they must not be allowed to enter the city." Otherwise, with the high walls of Lingzhou City, our chances are slim. ”

"But if we intercept and kill halfway, most of the imperial court will have reinforcements."

Hugging the calf mountain

Hao Siwen and Xu Guanzhong of Liangshan successively participated in the discussion: "That's right, it was obviously a ploy to take over the jade seal outside. ”

"Yes, we know it's a plan, but we have to bite the bullet."

"We have to go on the offensive quickly, we have to do whatever it takes."

"At the same time, keep a reserve to defend against the entangled reinforcements."

"This is the best cavalry, I think the calf mountain is the most suitable!"

", why don't you go? How can you capture the jade seal without participating in the attack? ”

……

Several forces have their own calculations, all want to win the jade seal by themselves, and they all want others to be unable to participate in one less competitor. Due to the urgency of time, the fierce verbal exchange did not last long, and a plan was found.

The cavalry of Baoqi Mountain is all color, and its strength is strong and feared, and it is finally characterized as an ambush. The other three parties promised to give benefits afterwards, and Tian Hu even privately wooed him to help. Hao Siwen pretended to be reluctant to agree.

With the plan in place, the coalition forces stretched for miles, and the mighty tide was like a tide. Take a shortcut to chase the forbidden army of the Imperial City. When passing near Zengtou City, the people inside were scared and trembled, but no one cared about them as if they were walking on their feet.

Thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial city hurried for days, people were sleepy and horses were tired, and the marching speed was not fast. It is more than 20 miles away from Lingzhou City, and it is almost dark, so I have to choose an open field, set up camp, and continue to set off tomorrow.

"The whole army is on alert, don't slack off? You have also seen the battle in Zengtou City. The danger is around, cheer up Lao Tzu and be ready for battle. The officers in the forbidden army shouted loudly and reprimanded their men.

Thousands of people stopped to recuperate. Or set up camp, or bury pots to cook, or patrol police

Warn. The division of labor is clear, busy but not chaotic. And the coalition forces on several hills have caught up and hanged, waiting for the right time to fall.

At the same time, the resourceful people of all parties did not slack off, and sent elite detours to the front of the forbidden army. In addition to ambushing and intercepting Tanma on the avenue, it is to reconnoiter the movements of Lingzhou City and whether there are ambushes from the forbidden army around the front.

More than a dozen scout teams were scattered in all directions, repeatedly searching for anomalies. Until the investigation was investigated, there were no forbidden army reinforcements within a radius of dozens of miles.

Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Hao Siwen, and Xu Guanzhong led the team to gather, exchanged information and had some discussion, and then decided to take action.

The 2,000 cavalry of Baoqi Mountain took advantage of the night to go the opposite way and cut off the army. And Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Liang Shan's minions had a full meal and rested until late at night, and the horses picked up the bells, and the people were ranked, and quietly approached the forbidden army camp.

When people are most tired, a cannon rang out in the sky and suddenly attacked!
