Chapter 977: Loyal Soul Through the Ages
Standing on the castle, the left and right are steep, and the front and back are rugged.
"If there is another snow, even if the gods come, they will not be able to break the Yanmen Pass."
Zhang Ju was very proud to introduce the situation.
Bao Zheng nodded, wiped his face, and said: "The old man has long heard that the Yanmen is a husband, and he can't open it, but today I saw it." Thinking that Yang Ye was here back then, he defeated the Liao people several times, which is amazing! ”
Yang Ye Yang is invincible, that's a legend. In that era, the Great Song Dynasty did not have the strength to fight against the Liao army, but Zhao Lao'er was not effective in unification, and he did not have the prestige of his eldest brother, so he was defeated in the Gaoliang River, and he did not dare to peep north from then on.
Shen An couldn't help but ask, "Bao Gong, was Yang Wudi killed by someone?" ”
Shen An had been reading comic books since he was a child in his previous life, and when he was older, the loyal and brave Yang family would make his blood boil, and those traitors made him gnash his teeth.
But after arriving in the Great Song Dynasty, he found that most of these were made up.
Except for Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao, most of the others are fabricated by wild history.
Shen An also asked Zhi Kexing for this, and asked if the old ancestor of his family could go into battle to kill the enemy.
She Taijun!
A heroine praised by many people in later generations.
This She is the fold of the folding family, and later misunderstandings come and go, and finally become She.
But the words of Ke Ke are unknown, and he probably thinks that Shen An is a psychopath.
How can there be a woman in battle in this year?
Even if there is, it is a Liao State and a Western Xia woman, and the Great Song Dynasty is absolutely impossible.
Bao Zheng glanced at Shen An, and the look in his eyes was probably this: This kid twitched again, and the old man turned around and slapped him a few times.
"Did Yelu Hongji come with great fanfare?" Bao Zheng raised his binoculars to look over, but he couldn't see a single Liao person.
Zhang Ju said: "Yes." The scouts were ordered to take the trail to investigate, and found the banner, as well as the elite cavalry. ”
"What elite?"
"Falling River!" Zhang Ju's breathing tightened, "Bao Xiang, if it's not that the lower officials are incompetent and afraid, the ...... of the river will fall."
Bao Zheng's expression was solemn, "The old man knows that the so-called Luoluo River is the meaning of a strong man in Hu Yu, and the three thousand Luluo River of An Lushan in the former Tang Dynasty intercepted Guo Ziyi's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which can be seen." ”
"Bao Xiang is high." Zhang Ju was worried that he would be reprimanded for cowardice, and Bao Zheng would take him down on the spot when the time came.
"Falling River......" Bao Zheng asked Shen An: "Do you know?" ”
This gesture made Zhang Ju breathe a sigh of relief.
As a martial artist, he must obey Bao Zheng's orders, but he is afraid that Bao Zheng will dictate the war, and he will have to take the blame after the defeat.
Let professional people do professional things!
There is no such sentence now, and some civil officials are proud of their civil and military skills, but they can kill the enemy when they ask, and they immediately reveal their true form, saying that they have learned from ten thousand enemies.
What do you mean by 10,000 enemies?
The commander is called the enemy of ten thousand.
But everyone searched for all the books that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty needed to read, but they didn't see any professors how to be commanders.
That's a lie!
But who dares to debunk it?
And Bao Zheng didn't pretend to understand, but asked Shen An, which is an excellent posture and beginning.
The old man won't talk nonsense, so let's rest assured.
"Falling River...... Bao Gong, the Liao people have more than 200,000 troops, and there are not a few people who claim to be strong internally. Yelu Hongji came to Shuozhou in person this time, and he must be the best of his best, so we don't need to worry about the Luoluo River, if they come, we just use crossbow arrows and gunpowder to greet them. ”
Is it necessary to talk about the elite of the enemy army at this time?
The cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty was scarce and could not confront the Liao army, so once the war started, it could only be a defensive battle. And for the current Great Song Dynasty, there is really no need to care about the opponent's military number, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army.
Bao Zheng understood, he patted the city bricks and said: "Yelu Hongji will not come in vain, either to fight Western Xia or Yanmen, so the scouts will send more ......"
"Bao Gong, the lower officials are willing to inquire about the news."
Cao Tong took the initiative to ask for battle, this attitude is not good.
Zhang Ju said embarrassedly: "Uncle Guo, the mountain road here is rugged......"
You Cao Tong have enjoyed it in the capital for many years, are you willing to go to the mountains to climb and roll? 、
"Naturally, there are scouts for inquiry."
Bao Zheng felt that if Cao Tong was allowed to go to the sentry, he would not be able to come back as soon as he went, and he would either be captured or frozen to death in a mountain col.
Cao Tong was a little frustrated, and Shen An smiled: "Bao Gong, why don't you ...... Let's come to Yanmen, Yelu Hongji doesn't know! Why don't you go to a person and say hello? ”
He smiled, but his eyes were piercing.
Bao Zheng's heart moved, "The old man is here to let Yelu Hongji know, so send a messenger to tell him, just say that the old man is here, and invite Yelu Hongji to come to Yanmen to drink." ”
"The lower officials are willing to go."
Before those officials took the initiative to ask for help, Cao Tong jumped out again.
Bao Zheng was a little entangled, thinking to himself, what are you doing with a relative robbing this? If Yelu Hongji detains you, how will the old man explain to the official family at that time?
The official family will probably feel that it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not their relatives.
But what about the Empress Dowager Cao?
When Bao Zheng heard that Empress Dowager Cao had killed thieves in the palace and had a long knife that he was licensed to hold, he felt a chill in his neck.
"That...... This matter ......"
"Bao Xiang, the lower officials are not here to mess around." Cao Tong said very firmly: "The lower officials are here to kill the enemy." If Yelu Hongji dared to make a move, then Da Song just had an excuse. ”
This product actually has the spirit of sacrificing one's life for righteousness?
Shen An wanted to touch Cao Yan's forehead, but after reaching out, he retracted it, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Guo was cold on the road, and he has a fever......
Bao Gong, this thing is burnt and confused, don't believe him.
Cao Tong gave his hand again: "Bao Gong, the lower officials are not here to mess around!" ”
This is a very serious statement, if Bao Zheng refuses him again, it will be a blow to the reputation of the Cao family.
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Do you know how to deal with it?" ”
Cao Tong said: "Not humble or arrogant. ”
This is equivalent to not saying this, but Bao Zheng nodded and said: "Then go and prepare, and the old man will send someone to accompany you when the time comes." ”
Where did he dare to believe Cao Yan, the accompanying officials were the right envoys.
"I don't have a fever."
When Cao Tong got the good news, he touched Shen An's forehead, and then happily went to prepare.
The long knife checked it and it was very bright.
This long knife is the ancestral heirloom of the Cao family, and Cao Tong has been reluctant to take it out and use it. This is the light of day.
"Uncle Guo, are you alright?"
The civil official accompanying him this time was Liu Ke, who was dressed in an official uniform and stood outside the door so freely.
An envoy is a serious matter, and it is related to the face of the country, so the appearance of the envoy is also more important.
Liu Ke felt that he was very handsome, but when Cao Tong came out, he found that this product was even more handsome than himself, and he could be called an old handsome pot.
"Let's go!"
Cao Tong set off with more than 100 sergeants in high spirits.
The mountain road is rugged, and the way down passes a spacious place.
"Uncle Guo, where is ...... It was here that Yang Wushu broke the enemy army. ”
Liu Ke sighed on his face, probably wanting to compose a poem.
"Look there!"
Someone in the queue exclaimed, "That's the tomb of the Han general!" ”
When Cao Tong heard the sound, he saw piles of sealed soil.
The enclosures were high and low, and the highest had to look up.
"What's that?"
Cao Tong asked curiously, and immediately regretted it.
The soldiers who accompanied him all bowed their heads, and the atmosphere became solemn.
"Uncle Guo, under those sealed soils are the bones of the Han soldiers who guarded Yanmen back then. Loyal Soul ...... Through the Ages"
"Loyal to the ages!"
Cao Tong was in a stirring mood and said: "Thinking of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago, those drums and horns contended, and those swords and swords ...... With these loyal souls here, how dare we slack off? Keep your head high on this trip! ”
The momentum rose all at once.
This is the wrist of the gate, and just a few words make 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.
"It's the Liao Army's rangers!"
"Steady, don't panic."
Cao Tong grasped 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 go." ”
Cao Yan's body stiffened, and he scolded: "Shen Anbei, you brute! Can't you let someone be a good master? ”
It was Shen An who spoke, and at this moment he was wearing the official uniform of a civil official, with a pure face.
"Before so-and-so came out, the official said that he wanted to know who Yelu Hongji was, so so-and-so must be coming."
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." Shen An's words made Cao Yan's heart happy, but then it was a blow.
"Just keep the momentum, if you have a decision, listen to so-and-so."
Fuck it!
Cao Tong said angrily: "Isn't that a puppet? Look-alike? ”
Shen An smiled dryly: "This ...... The division of labor is different. ”
Cao Tong had never seen a big battle, and Bao Zheng was worried that he would lose ground in the face of Yelu Hongji, so he reluctantly asked Shen to follow him.
Ten Cao Bao Zheng didn't blink an eyelid, but if something happened to Shen An, Lao Bao Tie would definitely go crazy and fight with Yelu Hongji.
A team of Liao cavalry came from the front, and they asked close and backward, "Who is Uncle Cao Guo?" ”
"So-and-so!"
At this moment, Cao Yan was extremely solemn, looking a little more powerful.
This is the momentum that the children of the family have cultivated since childhood, but they were used to pretending to be grandchildren a few years ago, and now they look a little uncomfortable.
General Liao arched his hand and said: "I've seen Uncle Guo, so let's hurry." ”
The two countries are still fraternal countries, and it is impossible for everyone to shout and kill when they meet......
……
At noon the next day, the mission saw a huge cavalry.
Countless cavalry galloped ahead, sometimes separated, sometimes converged......
The momentum is immense, and it makes people's hearts palpitate.
"Is this the Liao Army?"
Cao Tong had seen the Liao army with Shen An last time, but it was an encounter, the scale of the Liao army was not large, and after contacting and finding that something was wrong, the Liao army quickly fled.
In front of him, tens of thousands of Liao cavalry are practicing the attack, and I don't know if there is one behind.
An official came, he looked carefully at the members of the mission, and said, "The sergeant stays, and the rest wait, follow so-and-so." ”
They followed him into the city, where he was searched outside a large mansion.
No matter how depressed Cao Tong was, he had never experienced such a thing, and he said coldly: "Search so carefully, what are you worried about?" ”
The sergeant who searched him ignored him, and the official next to him smiled: "Our envoy is also going to search his body in Bianliang." ”
"It's a palace, and it's not that detailed......"
"It's a battlefield! How can you do it without being meticulous? ”
From this moment on, the two sides are opposed.
Later, the mission was intercepted again, and only three people were allowed in.
Cao Tong pointed at Liu Ke and Shen An, "You two follow someone in." ”
"Yes."
He was about to see Yelu Hongji, and Shen An was a little curious.
Along the way, there were fierce sergeants on the side, looking at the Song people's eyes more provocatively.
Shen An knew that this was the sequelae of Chang Jianren's killing of the Liao people.
The knife outside the Bianliang Imperial City terrified the Liao people.
It turns out that Han'er also has such a brave civil official?
Now that it is the home of the Liao army, they naturally want to provoke, hoping that someone among the Song people will stand up and respond, and then kill this person.
