Chapter 670: The Messenger Coachman
Zhang Hao bowed his head and was silent, Zong Ze sighed and said: "This matter is not advisable, the casualties of the Liao army are only more than 500 people, can it be that we use 100,000 troops to force it, we are not Xiongzhou, there will be almost no reinforcements in the back, we can only rely on the supplement of Yingzhou and Shuozhou." Kind of handsome, it's better to transfer Yang Zhi to come, I'll go to Shuozhou. ”
"No, I can't. The seed master shook his head and said: "As long as Xixia comes to help, at least an army of more than 20,000 people, General Zong, your daring soldiers can't stop it, only the Canglang battalion can be sure." ”
The ideal is very full, the reality is very cruel, it is the portrayal of everyone in the big tent at the moment; a rush of footsteps, the little school came to report that Lan Luan had arrived, Lan Luan is a good hand in Cao Qianli Fantasy Sword Sect, because he is a fan, Ma Zhan makes a mace, and has the courage of ten thousand people. The seed master hurriedly invited in, and after Lan Luan entered the account, he handed over a letter and said: "The military situation is urgent, and the prince specially ordered the villain to come and deliver the letter." ”
Yang Zhi pointed out in the letter that the Liao State is a tribal system, and in the current situation, most of the tribes regard the survival of their tribes as more important than the Liao State, and even if they do not immediately change their position, they will acquiesce to the clansmen to come to join the army, even if they do not change their position immediately, they will acquiesce to the clansmen to come to join the army, even for the Khitan people, as long as there is a way to live, they will not fight to the death.
Yang Zhi took an example, Shenwu County is a small county seat, but Shenwu County's township Ding is 10,000 Ding, which is more than Shuozhou's 8,000 Ding and Huanzhou's 6,000 Ding, just because Shenwu County has few Han people, more than ninety percent are tribes, if according to the management of Taiyuan, then Shenwu County is a small town, but if it is according to the practice of Yan'an Sixth Road, within a year, the scale of Shenwu County is likely to be about the same as Huanzhou.
Seed Master Dao passed the letter to Zong Ze and asked Lan Luan, "Did Yang Zhi send someone here?"
Lan Luan replied: "Shuozhou has sent someone to Datong Mansion and brought a letter from King Yun and General Yang, King Yun said a meaning to Yelu Xi Nilie, saying that the Holy Lord and Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo are brothers, and he is willing to personally worship Yelu Xi Nilie as a brother, if Yelu Xi Nilie is willing to enter the Song Dynasty, he will definitely ask the Holy Lord to be crowned king." ”
After reading the letter, Zong Ze said: "This is a good idea, there are 320,000 dings in Datong Prefecture, and there are only 100,000 dings in the ten cities, and there are 220,000 dings in various tribes. As long as we control the tribes, we can quickly expand our forces, and in my opinion, we can allow some of the tribes to move south. ”
The seed master said: "What General Zong said is very true, saying that he doesn't want his family to live in a prosperous area, and there is no such condition on Yan'an Sixth Road, but in the clouds, we can indeed give it a try, I will write a letter to discuss with King Yun, General Zong, the soldiers will be placed below you, and you will arrange someone to send a list to give it a try." ”
This plan was very effective, and within two days of Zong Ze's announcement, more than 1,000 people came to join the army, all of them from Datong, and even from the Khitan tribe; Zong Ze was not in a hurry to let these people go to the battlefield, but first divided the pastures and fields with them in the area south of the golden beach in Huairen County. Yelu heard the news and took the initiative to launch an offensive battle, but the Song army's divine arm bow and firearms were extremely powerful, and the 7,000 cavalry commanded by Wang Ping could support the weak location with him, so the two sides fought two battles in two days, and there was still no victory.
Gongsun Sheng was in the woods outside Datong City, anxiously waiting for the messengers that might appear in the city, but on the surface he was still very calm, and he was talking and laughing with Yang Lin, the golden leopard. Yang Lin asked something while he was talking and laughing: "Mr. Gongsun, General Yang has nothing to say, but he seems to have some opinions about Jiang Jing and Meng Kang. ”
Gongsun Sheng smiled and said: "We came this time, it is the last time Meng Kang was used, Meng Kang is the second son of Yang Pu, the secretary of the Jin State Rite Department, the original name should be Yang Zhenkang, but he was young and frivolous, and he ran to the Great Song Dynasty to do fine work without fear of difficulties. This time Yang Zhi deliberately released the news, saying that Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were discussing an alliance, but he didn't expect the Jin State's hand to stretch out so long, and there were spies in Shuozhou, and Meng Kang had already spread the news. ”
Jin Leopard Yang Lin was shocked for a while, he didn't expect Meng Kang to have such an identity, but how did Yang Zhi know, Yang Lin took it for granted that Yang Zhi still had an informant like Du Xing in Liaoyang. Yang Lin cautiously asked, "What about the god operator Jiang Jing?"
Gongsun Sheng smiled and said, "Yang Zhi has no opinion on Jiang Jing, he just thinks that Jiang Jing has some things to tell us yet, give him a chance to choose for himself." ”
A Liao soldier standing guard stopped a carriage that was about to go out of the city, as if he was interrogating something, a cavalry squad of ten people was patrolling nearby, and seemed to be looking at the carriage; the Liao soldier finished questioning, the carriage slowly drove towards the outside of the carriage, the patrolling cavalry did not follow, but Gongsun Sheng saw a donkey cart, there were two people on the donkey cart, one was a coachman, the other seemed to be a small trader, but the two had stopped all movements, and their attention seemed to be on the carriage.
Yang Lin also found out and asked Gongsun Sheng: "Is that the person we are waiting for?"
"Yes, wait a little longer, until he is out of sight of the donkey cart. Gongsun Sheng stared at the donkey cart, the coachman had already walked to the carriage that was getting closer and closer, and the small trader also got off the donkey station and stood aside, and the two of them had already shown the temperament of a good hand in the rivers and lakes at this moment, and directly stopped the carriage and wanted to look into the carriage. After a few arguments, the peddler finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked over and showed his waist card, and the coachman gave in and asked them to inspect the whole carriage, which should have found nothing.
The carriage then proceeded thirty paces forward, gradually increasing its speed, and seeing that there was basically no movement, Gongsun Sheng and the two turned over and got on their horses, and Gongsun Sheng seemed to reluctantly leave the path behind the woods, and the carriage was far away. Yang Lin followed behind and asked, "Isn't that carriage?"
"Yes, but the Liao army checked just now, and there was no one in the carriage. The spring was bright and bright, and the confusion on Gongsun Sheng's face was clearly illuminated, Yang Lin didn't know the cause, and he didn't know how to help. After the ten-mile long pavilion and on the post road, Gongsun Sheng let the horse catch up with the carriage and asked the coachman: "What's wrong?"
The coachman looked at Gongsun Sheng and said, "Into Yunlong, Yang Zhi is really sincere, it's nothing, my name is Bo Deng, I am a monk from Tianxiong Temple, and I am also a monk who is preparing to go to the Central Plains." ”
"Are you the messenger?" Gongsun Sheng suddenly woke up, as long as Sha Jing knew, there was no need for any tokens; Bo Deng waved his horse whip and said: "I want to see Sha Jing, now the whole battle situation is not favorable to the Liao State, Shangjing Xingying Governor Mao 80 led 2,000 households to reduce gold, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was defeated again by Wanyan Lou Room in Shilinyi, the Liao army commander Xiao Temo and Xiao Sagu were captured, Yelu Yanxi's army is retreating to Huan Tart Xinchala; The forces of the deputy capital Yelu Mago were pinned, and the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi ordered Datong to transfer another 5,000 cavalry to Huan Tart Xinchala. ”
