The war in Yunzhou is urgent, and both sides are preparing for the final battle.

But Wanyan Zonghan was not very confident, just because the artillery and firearms of the Qi army were too fierce.

Especially during this period of time, Yunzhou is sunny in many places, and there is no rain in the short term, and artillery and firearms can be used to their heart's content.

Wanyan Zongwang is not counting on it, and can only look at the grassland.

In just two days and nights, Wanyan Zabaodi ran more than 700 miles, and he was really tired.

After eating the roast mutton and drinking mare's milk wine, he lay down with the two girls in his arms.

After a while, the snoring was rampant.

The same is true of the remaining 30 or so Jurchens, who are tired and fall asleep one by one.

"Kill the Golden Dog!"

"Kill !!"

In the middle of the night, a shout of killing suddenly sounded.

Wanyan Zha Baodi was killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and suddenly woke up from his dream, reaching out to hold the saber next to the pillow.

The next moment, a figure rushed into the tent.

The bright moonlight shone in through the open curtain of the door, and a cold light suddenly appeared, slashing towards the bed on the ground.

Wanyan Zabaodi reacted quickly, and immediately turned over to avoid the knife.

At the same time, the two girls were also woken up by the movement.

One knife missed, and Ma Kuo's second knife followed.

At this time, it was too late to hide anymore, and Wanyan Zha Baodi was in a hurry, so he immediately grabbed a girl and blocked him in front of him.

"Poof!"

Blood splattered with the sound of blades entering flesh.

Taking advantage of the time when the other party put away the knife, Wanyan Zha Baodi threw away the corpse in his hand, quickly stood up, waved the steel knife in his hand, and slashed towards Ma Kuo, who rushed into the tent.

But at the sound of a sound, the steel knife was draped over the iron armor, splashing a few sparks.

Wanyan Zabaodi secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, the opponent's counterattack came instantly, and the steel knife slashed twice, and then slashed from the bottom to the top at an extremely tricky angle.

Wanyan Zha Baodi is also a man who has experienced a hundred battles, and retreated in time to avoid this knife.

But it was still grazed by the tip of the knife, and warm blood immediately flowed out of the wound on his chest.

This man is a master of the sword!

Ma Kuo was also a little surprised, with his martial arts, he had calculated or not, and he should have killed the other party quickly under the surprise attack.

I didn't expect the other party's actual combat experience to be so sophisticated, if it weren't for the iron armor, it was probably him who was lying down.

"The golden dog takes his life!"

Ma Kuo didn't want to give the other party a chance to breathe, so he shouted and rushed forward with a knife again.

Wanyan Zha Baodi was furious at this time, and while blocking with a knife, he yelled: "Who are you? ”

"Remember, the one who killed you, Daqi Makuo!"

Ma Kuan roared, and the knife became faster and faster.

"Kill!"

At this time, fighting was also going on in other felt tents.

The Xuanjia Army is Han Zhen's personal guard, and each of them is an elite carefully selected from the Qingzhou Army, and they are not inferior to the Jurchens.

……

The shouts of killing in the night woke up many herdsmen.

Bunnig was still waiting for news in the tent, and he was hesitating at the moment, so he wanted to test Ma Kuo's reaction before making a decision.

If Ma Kuo fled in a hurry, it would prove that his heart was weak, and he would immediately detain it and hand it over to Wanyan Zha Baodi.

Just as he was thinking, Zazag rushed into the tent in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, the envoys of the Qi State led their troops to raid the envoys of the Jin State late at night!" ”

"How dare he?"

Bonig gasped.

He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect that Ma Kuo, who seemed to be weak, would dare to attack and kill the envoy of the Jin State in his territory.

"Quick, bring someone to surround them all."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the tent with an anxious expression.

By the time he led his men to surround the area near the river, the battle was over.

At the cost of the lives of five Xuanjia soldiers, thirty-eight Jurchens were annihilated.

Looking at the Meng ancients who surrounded themselves, Zhang Dutou and the others were not afraid at all, supporting each other, barely forming a battle formation, ready to fight at any time.

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Sonig asked in a cold tone, "Where is Ma Kuo?" ”

"Ma Kuo is here!"

With a loud shout, the curtain of a felt tent was lifted from within, and a horse in iron armor stepped out, holding a knife in one hand and a head in the other.

Sticky blood dripped down the ground along the crack at the bottom of the human head.

Fenig's heart suddenly chuckled, it was over.

Wanyan Zabaodi is dead!

Others don't know, but he does know very well that this person is the younger brother of Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the Western Route Army.

Now he is dying on his own turf, and the future is endless.

Fenig laughed angrily: "Okay, good, you are so bold!" ”

Ma Kuo said loudly: "King, now that the envoy of the Jin Kingdom is dead, you have to borrow this way, and you have to borrow it if you don't borrow it!" ”

"When death is imminent, you still dare to threaten this king?"

Hornig looked incredulous, thinking that this person was crazy?

As soon as the words fell, thousands of Meng Gu soldiers drew their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at Ma Kuo and the others.

At the slightest command, they will be shot into a sieve.

Ma Kuo was not afraid at all, stepped forward, and said bitterly: "Why don't the king understand, this official is saving the king, not threatening." ”

Fenig stared at him deadly: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Ma Kuo stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom has never been here, and this person was killed by the King of Liao halfway. ”

"What the are you ......"

Zazag was furious at Ma Kuo's shameless remarks about referring to the deer as a horse.

It's just that before the words fell, he was interrupted by Sonig: "Shut up, don't be rude to the envoys of the Qi country!" ”

He was a smart man, and he was just confused by the sudden news.

Now, through Ma Kuo's reminder, I immediately figured out the key.

borrowed the Yelu Dashi, and in return, Ma Kuo would take the matter of the death of the Jin envoy on his territory, so that not only did he not have to send troops to aid Yunzhou, but the key was that no matter who won or lost in Yunzhou, it would not have the slightest impact on him.

After Yan Zonghan won, he could put the blame on Ma Kuo, saying that he had not seen the envoy.

Qi Guo and Yelu Dashi have won, and with the excuse ahead, he doesn't have to worry about settling accounts after the autumn.

Fenig said slowly: "The envoy will go back to rest first, and leave the rest to the king." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Ma Kuo smiled slightly and led the Xuanjia Army to leave calmly.

After they left, Zazag was puzzled: "King, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom died in our territory, so let them go?" ”

"You remember, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin never came." Sonig said with a solemn expression.

"This ...... I remembered. ”

Zazag still couldn't figure it out, but he had to nod his head.

Next, Honig began to work on the scene.

The corpses of the Jurchens were all burned, and the horses brought by the Jurchens were also beheaded and eaten.

At the same time, gag orders were issued to those in the tribe who knew about it.

……

Back in the felt tent, Zhang Dutou and the others looked excited.

Killing the envoys of the Jin State in the grassland tribe and being able to escape with their whole body is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime when they return.

Ma Kuo was also very excited, he finally realized the happiness of Ban Chao, Fu Jiezi and other sages.

The humiliation suffered by the Liao and Jin envoys in the past was all vented at this moment.

And all this, in addition to his wisdom and decisiveness, is more important is that there is a powerful country behind it.

Your Majesty is right, there is no diplomacy in a weak country.

In addition to being excited, looking at the five corpses lying quietly on the ground, Ma Kuo said with a ashamed face: "It's just that it has affected the soldiers and caused them to lose their lives." ”

The journey was extremely difficult, and on the way, he formed a deep friendship with the Xuanjia Army.

Looking at the corpse at this moment, I couldn't help but grieve for myself.

"Ma Shangshu doesn't need to blame himself, if it weren't for Ma Shangshu's courage, I'm afraid that we will all die tonight."

Zhang Dutou is not a fool, he has already come back to his senses at this time, and he can't help but be afraid for a while.

Lu Cheng, who was bandaging his wounds, also spoke: "We, the big-headed soldiers, have been ready to pin our heads to our waists since the moment we stepped into the barracks. Moreover, the official family treats us well, although the eighth child is dead, he can bless his parents, wives and children, not only can he get a generous pension, but his parents, wives and children will not need to pay taxes and forced labor in the future. ”

Yes, this is the benefit that Han Zhen gave to the guards.

If he dies in battle, the family will receive a pension of 50 yuan, and his wife and children will no longer have to pay taxes, and he will be exempt from forced labor.

Without worries, the guards naturally forgot their lives and killed the enemy bravely when they fought.
