Chapter 2: The Book of Prayers (I)
Gu Yao followed Jin Bing from between the two camps, and saw that the camp was arranged in a regular and strict manner, and every wooden stake used was thick and strong, deep in the ground, and there was no slack work. The camp tents are clearly distributed, the secret is in order, the front of each camp is cleaned neatly and neatly, the pots and pans are placed in an orderly manner, the soldiers are dressed neatly, and the banner is clear, and it can be seen from the details alone that this is an elite division.
The tent of the sticky Han was stationed in the middle camp, in front of the gate of the walled wall, a row of horses resisted, and flanked by twenty Jurchen soldiers who were tall and healthy, with bright armor and covered their faces. The Jin soldier who led the way said his intention to the defenders, and the Jin soldier opened his pocket, revealing his long narrow eyes and tall nose under the deep eye sockets, looked at Gu Yao and spit out thick phlegm, and said, "Wait here." "Then he went in and reported it.
Waiting is an hour. Only Gu Yao stood alone at the entrance of the village, and the Jin soldiers shuttling looked at him curiously, and when they learned that he was a messenger, they all looked at him with hatred. The two battles of Monk Yuan and Guanzhong made Luo Tianchu famous overnight and became a hero in the eyes of the Han people, and also caused the Jin people to lose countless relatives and friends, so the Jin people's hatred for the Blood Knife Fort even exceeded that of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The golden soldier who said goodbye walked back with a wicked smile and beckoned, "Come in." Gu Yao followed him into the camp, and the scene inside surprised him. On both sides of the road, there was a row of fully armed golden soldiers with their faces covered, the atmosphere was dignified and solemn, and at the same time, they stood on the ground with the handle of their spears, shouting: "Kill, kill, kill!" Gu Yao knew that this was to give himself a dismount, smiled slightly, and was calm. After walking a few steps, I saw a tiger head in the middle of the road, the tiger head was lifelike, fierce and powerful, the guillotine was thick and sharp, and the knife body was hidden in blood. Further on, there are two large vats, the bottom of the cylinder is piled with thick charcoal fire, the raging flame runs straight to the top of the cylinder, the boiling water in the cylinder is boiling, and the other tripod is splashing hot oil outward. Jin Bing, who led the way, deliberately glanced at Gu Yao's expression, and saw that his face was as usual, and he was not afraid, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The handsome tent of Sticky Han is in the center of the barracks, the huge military tent is made of cowhide, which can accommodate 50 people, and the handsome tent of Sticky Han is set up next to the big tent, and a dragon is embroidered in five colors on the bright yellow flag. The herald at the door shouted loudly, "The messenger from Tongguan has arrived!" shouted and opened the curtain and said, "Go in." ”
Gu Yao entered the big tent and saw ten Jin Guo generals sitting on both sides, all of them with horizontal eyebrows and unkind eyes. The first person in the right row is a Han man in a golden suit, Gu Yao recognized him as a Gaoqing descendant, and his backer was originally the second prince, and after the death of the second prince, he took refuge in Sticky Han. There are also two people who are also familiar with each other, one is sitting in the first place on the left row, and the other is Wanyan Sai, who was robbed of black electricity by Luo Tianchu, and the other is Wanyan who was captured twice. However, the handsome position in the middle was vacant, and Wan Yan Muhan did not attend.
Wan Yan Sali slapped the armrest of the seat and shouted, "Come on, tie this kid up for me!" The four golden soldiers rushed up, holding iron ropes in their hands to tie Gu Yao. Gu Yao said loudly: "The two countries will not fight at war!" Wan Yan Sali drank and held the big straw bag belly, and said with a sinister smile: "Lao Tzu sees that you are not going well, so I will tie you up, what can you do." The golden soldiers were about to rush up again, Gu Yao sneered: "I have heard that your country is barbaric and unreasonable, murderous, and no different from wild beasts, but what I saw today is not true, so I don't know etiquette, and I want to take over the world in vain, it's just a fool's dream." Wanyan Sali got up with a smile and said, "You kid is obviously here to spy on the military, but you are talking about the big truth, who are you bluffing?" Gu Yao asked rhetorically: "Where did you see that I was spying on the military?" Wanyan Sali shouted: "Are you sent by Luo Tianchu?" Gu Yao said: "Yes." Sari gritted his teeth and said: "That little bastard caught me twice with a trick, and his stomach was bad, it's not that simple for him to send you to deliver a letter, there must be another trick, right?"
Gu Yao twisted his head to the side and said disdainfully: "With people like Your Excellency, I have nothing to say." Wan Yan Sali pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "What about the tiger head?" Gu Yao said: "Not bad." Sari shouted: "That's the famous tiger head of your Kaifeng Mansion, and there are countless people. I'll use it to cut off your head, okay?" Gu Yao said: "It's not good. Sari laughed and said, "Scared?" Gu Yao said: "Lord Bao is selfless, enforces the law impartially, and does not behead innocent people." ”
Wanyan Sari shouted: "There is also a ding of hot oil and a ding of boiling water, you might as well choose one of them." Gu Yao suddenly laughed out loud. Wan Yan Sali shouted angrily: "What are you laughing at?" Gu Yao said: "I don't laugh at anything else, I only laugh at you people who are afraid of my messenger." The Kim general who was present changed color and glared at him angrily. Sari scolded loudly: "Put your big bullshit, where is Lao Tzu afraid of you?" Gu Yao said angrily: "If you are not afraid, why do you need to raise the boiling ding to help the momentum? Can you use such a big pomp and circumstance to treat the letter? If the commander of my family comes in person, what will you be afraid of?" Wanyan Sali scolded and scolded: "Random fart, there is a kind of call Luo Tianchu to come, see if Lao Tzu is afraid of him." Gu Yao said with a smile: "If the general is really not afraid of our castle master, he can go out of the village to fight him, and the castle master will definitely fight." Wanyan Sari's face was flushed with anger, and he screamed violently, eager to eat him alive.
Gao Qingyi suddenly spoke: "Since you are a messenger, where is the letter?" Gu Yao said: "It's better to listen to Lord Gao's words." He took out the letter and said, "I don't know where Marshal Muhan is now, I should personally present it." Sari drank "bah" and said: "How can the marshal of our army see you?" Gu Yao said: "It is insignificant in the future, but this letter is written by the lord of my castle, isn't it worth reading Marshal Stickyhan?" Gao Qingyi said: "Marshal Sticky Han is meeting with our important ministers, so it is inconvenient to come." The official documents and letters in the marshal's absence were all reviewed by Gao, and it was the same when the letter was handed over to Gao. Gu Yao said: "It's okay, I'm willing to wait for the marshal." Gao Qingyi said: "The marshal is discussing important national affairs, and he may talk for several days, during which no one will be seen. If you do not wish to hand over the letter, please return it, and it will not be too late for the marshal to come back when he has finished his business. ”
Gu Yao thought to himself that Xiao Luo's expectations were good, Mu Han was really not in the army, and it seemed that it would be useless to stay longer, so it was better to hand over the letter and leave. He pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "Then I have to bother Master Gao to hand it over." After Gao Qingyi took the letter, he looked at it, and praised it after just one glance: "Good words! But Yan Weifeng ghostwriter?" Gu Yao was surprised: "How did Lord Gao know?" Gao Qingyi said: "His handwriting is widely circulated in the world, and it is not difficult to recognize." Luo Tianchu's writing is average, and the content should be made by Your Excellency. Gu Yao said: "I haven't announced my name yet, how can adults recognize me?" Gao Qingyi said: "I have a skill that I am proud of, which is to never forget." We met in Yanjing, and you were so lawless, so I was even more impressed by you. ”
Gu Yao said: "I see. After reading the letter, Gao Qingyi said: "This is just an ordinary appointment letter, nothing important, is it worth your honor?" Gu Yao said: "It's only because my castle lord respects Marshal Sticky Han and is afraid of losing etiquette, so I let the writer personally send it." Gao Qingyi said: "As far as I know, Luo Tianchu is not a person who pays heavy respects. But now that the letter has been delivered, please reply to it. Wanyan Sari shouted: "It's so cheap, this kid? Gao Qingyi said: "Your guillotine hot oil is just to scare him, do you really want to kill him?" Wan Yan Sali glared and said, "Why can't you?" I just want to stew him in soup. ”
Gao Qingyi said: "The two countries are at war without making an envoy, if our Dajin country wants to conquer the world, it must have a measure to accommodate the world, and it is difficult for a messenger to be done by a big country." Gu Yao said: "It's still Gao Shangshu who has a measure." Wanyan Sari snorted and returned to his seat. Gao Qingyi said to Gu Yao: "Why don't you leave?" Gu Yao said: "I don't know if Marshal Sticky Han will go to the appointment tomorrow, and he will be able to answer when he goes back next." Gao Qingyi said: "The marshal is busy, and I will make an appointment with your castle master when I have time." Gu Yao said: "Yes, then I will leave." Wan Yan Saili, who had not spoken, suddenly got up and said, "Wait." Gu Yao was no stranger to him, and he fought with him when he rescued Zhao Huanhuan in Yanjing. Gu Yao arched his hand and said, "What advice does General Saili have?" Saili said: "Tell Luo Tianchu to let him wash and feed my horses, and return the horses to their original owners this time." Gu Yao smiled and said, "I must tell you in the future." Then he turned and left.
Gu Yao got out of the Jin camp and crossed the pontoon bridge, and saw Luo Tianchu, Lu Fei and others were leading five hundred cavalry to wait on the shore, this is the only cavalry team in Tongguan, because he was worried that Gu Yao was in danger, so he led the army to stand by. Gu Yao was moved in his heart, bowed to his companions, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Gu Yao is very thankful." ”
They returned to Tongguan together, and after listening to the narration, Lu Fei said: "So Mu Han is really not in the camp. Gu Yao said: "Absolutely not." Luo Tianchu muttered: "Then where will he go?" Gu Yao said: "The place he went to must be related to Tongguan." The Jin people kept their mouths shut about his whereabouts, and even Sari drank the Hun man, which showed that it was extremely secret. Luo Tianchu said: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it, first do something we can do." Lu Gu asked in unison, "What's the matter?" Luo Tianchu said, "I want to give the Jin army a war letter." Lu Fei said: "Just send the letter of war?"
Luo Tianchu said: "Since Mu Han is not here, then he must have explained that the generals must not fight, I prefer to challenge and provoke them, hoping that they can make mistakes in their busy work and find a good opportunity to break the enemy." Lu Fei agreed: "Not bad." That's the only thing we can do at the moment. Gu Yao smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have to go through the oil pot again." Luo Tianchu laughed and said: "Last time I was to visit, someone should go, this time it is a challenge, the etiquette has been exhausted, it's time to use the knife, what are you going to do?" Gu Yao said: "Then someone must send a letter." Luo Tianchu said: "No one needs to send it, please ask the master to lend me the strongest bow in Tongguan, and I will shoot the letter across the Yellow River." Lu Fei smiled: "This method is good."
