Chapter 390: Assassination, Black-Armored Cavalry
It's the New Year, but the bigwigs on Guangnan West Road don't have the heart to eat and drink.
As the border area of the Great Song Dynasty, Guangnan West Road specially set up the post of pacification envoy.
The pacification made it almost the same as the feudal officials of later generations, and they were in power and dominated the civil and military.
But at this moment, this right made Xiao Gu a little numb.
The transfer made Song Cheng calm and said: "The general of Xiping Prefecture is a little ready to move, and he is still recruiting troops everywhere......
Li Shizhong, who was in the prison on the side, scolded: "Those generals are all white-eyed wolves, and the grain and grass they transport every year are eaten in vain, and as soon as the Jiaozhi people make a noise, they begin to respond." ”
Commander Wang Lun asked cautiously, "Do you want to ...... Repression? ”
Xiao Gu glanced at him, and Wang Lun immediately stood with his hands tied, and he didn't dare to come out.
This is the power of the pacification envoy, if he wants to move the royal wheel, the royal wheel can only close his eyes and wait for death.
Seeing that he was interested, Xiao Gucai said: "The report is already on the way, but it is too slow to wait for the DPRK to make a decision...... I'm afraid that those generals will make trouble. O human heart! Never satisfied, those people didn't know how powerful the Great Song Dynasty was, so they thought about taking the opportunity to make trouble and send someone to find out. ”
Wang Lun said yes loudly, and then went out to make arrangements.
The three of them were a little more relaxed, Li Shizhong also asked someone to brew tea, and everyone sat down and tasted tea slowly.
"Good tea! This is a group tea sent by Bianliang. ”
Xiao Gu put down the teacup and said with a satisfied face: "After Li Rizun came up, the Jiaozhi people frequently crossed the border to loot, and they were insatiable. Nowadays, almost every day, you can hear the news of the Jiaozhi people crossing the border, which shows that they are unscrupulous. ”
"Yes! The cochins went berserk. ”
Song Cheng said in a tangled manner: "Song Shiyao said that you should be careful of the raids of the Jiaozhi people, and it is best to send scouts to Jiaozhi to investigate. ”
"I'm afraid there will be no return."
Xiao Gu groaned: "There is a miasma over there, and only Jiaozhi people can move calmly. The scout has little effect, and now the trouble over there in Xiping Prefecture is the most important, so let's deal with it first. ”
Then there was a tug of war back and forth, and the last time the general of Xiping Prefecture was attacked by the Jiaozhi people, it was Song Shiyao who led people to rescue. But when Song Shiyao went again, he was turned away.
This is an iron-hearted attempt to make trouble.
Song Shiyao strongly recommended to do it, saying that it was the first to strike first, and directly take down those generals to deter the Jiaozhi people.
Xiao Gu hesitated.
If he did, he feared that it would cause unrest on Quang Nam West Road.
Those generals and natives will be uneasy, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty is going to take them under the knife, in that case, I am afraid that the Jiaozhi people will not be used, and the Guangnan West Road will be a mess.
As the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road, he was powerful. But now this power has become a shackle.
He didn't dare to make a decision easily, and he was thinking about every move.
As the days passed, the generals became more and more noisy, and even began to loot.
"They're all thieves!"
Xiao Gu was furious, convened everyone to discuss the matter, and advocated suppression.
"Hold it down! Grab the leader of the general and send Bianliang! ”
The order was issued, and Song Shiyao and others began to reorganize their arms for war.
Quang Nam West Road was originally a little lazy, and the armament was also lazy, like a pustule. It wasn't until Nong Zhigao broke this pusle that Da Song began to pay attention to the defensive strength here.
The Xiongluo Army is the forbidden army, plus all kinds of van armies, which add up to a force that should not be underestimated.
Yongzhou is the strategic center of Quang Nam West Road, serving as the defense center in the direction of Jiaozhi.
The shouts of killing in Xuanhua City shook the sky, and Xiao Gu issued an order to no longer restrict the entry and exit of the natives, so the news gradually leaked.
"It's a knock on the mountain."
Standing at the head of the city, Xiao Gu squinted into the distance, and said confidently: "If those generals in Xiping Prefecture are smart, they should be guilty of their own crimes, otherwise...... These tiger and wolf soldiers will meet blood! ”
Song Shiyao stood behind him, his eyes filled with melancholy.
Song Cheng had a good impression of him, so he said, "But what do you have to say?" The appeasement envoy is here, as far as he can say. ”
Song Shiyao said: "The general of Xiping Prefecture ...... The lower officials are afraid that they will collude with the Jiaozhi people, and if so, I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”
Xiao Gu shook his head and said, "If you don't learn, you can't do it!" ”
Song Shiyao immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
Xiao Gu turned around and said, "Those generals ...... What can Cochin give them? Just give some money and food, but when did the Great Song Dynasty not give money and food? And the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of tenderness for them, but the Jiaozhi people are not necessarily. As long as he is not stupid, he will naturally not collude with the Jiaozhi people. ”
Song Shiyao only said yes, but he always felt uneasy in his heart.
"There are three riders coming from afar!"
Someone at the head of the city was shouting, "They're galloping......"
This is the panic after a long time of battle, Xiao Gu looked at the three horsemen and said, "What are you panicking about? Call someone to answer it. ”
Later the three were brought up.
"What?"
Xiao Gu's body was a little stiff, and his face was full of wood.
"Pacify the envoy, Xiping Prefecture will descend in the future."
In an instant, Xiao Gu's body relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "How many people?" ”
The person who came was a sergeant, and he bowed his head and said, "More than thirty people." ”
Song Shiyao relaxed a little, and Xiao Gu said: "It's so good, let people clean up the wine and food, if it's good to talk, give them food." ”
There was a hint of pride in his words.
Everything in Da Song is a high-end enjoyment here, and the latest popular stir-fry dishes in Da Song have also been transmitted here, although they are not very authentic, but they are still mouth-watering.
More than thirty horses appeared later, and Song Shiyao said enviously: "Although those horses are not very good, they can run anyway!" ”
Wealthy people will spend money on horses, and then have a cavalry advantage in battles for turf.
When the thirty or so horsemen entered the city, a group of sergeants watched over them until they dismounted, and then relaxed.
Xiao Gu personally went down to the city, and the general led by him hurriedly knelt down, and then muttered a lot.
"It's said that it's a fight for territory, it's not a rebellion, or it just wants some grain and grass so that the opponent can be defeated."
"This time I came to ......, no, I said that I was here to ask for help, and I want to ask Da Song to call the shots and get the lost territory back......"
Xiao Gu's heart was relieved, and he smiled: "So...... It's just that the big Song Dynasty is not easy to meddle in the affairs between them, and they are fettered, but they don't interfere too much. If there is too much interference, they will definitely make trouble after that, so ah......"
After General Yu led his subordinates to kneel, the sergeants on the side also relaxed, feeling that this battle could not be fought.
At this moment, the general reached out and touched it in his arms, and the person also bounced up from the ground and pounced directly on Xiao Gu.
In mid-air, there was a touch of cold light on the general's hand, and it turned out to be a short blade.
Xiao Gu didn't react, his heart was cold, he just stared at the general, but his body didn't make any response.
Most of the people present did not react, Xiao Gu sighed in his heart, knowing that he was going to die today.
This general is clearly here to assassinate......
After the assassination of Xiao Gu, there was no one who was able to call the shots on Guangnan West Road, and then it was going to be chaos.
He regretted his underestimation of the enemy, and then prepared to close his eyes.
A figure pounced from behind.
"Kill!"
Song Shiyao didn't have time to draw the knife, so he pounced on the fit, and was about to use his body to block the short knife.
When the general saw him rushing over, he waved his hand vigorously, then his body fell to the ground, turned around and ran.
The short knife flew over, Xiao Gu was horrified, and at this time Song Shiyao had already come up, he grabbed Xiao Gu's arm and pushed hard.
The short knife grazed Xiao Gu's arm and inserted it into Song Shiyao's shoulder.
This series of actions rose and fell, and by the time everyone reacted, Na Yu was already on his horse under the escort of two sturdy men.
"Kill him!"
Song Cheng hugged Song Shiyao and shouted with a pale face.
But the more than 30 people did not escape, but fought with all their might.
There are more than 300 Song troops here, and there are bows and arrows, and the impact of these natives can be called suicide.
But under the impact of their death, the general took the opportunity to rush out of Xuanhua City with the two of them.
"Hahahaha!"
The general's laughter came, and Xiao Gu said angrily: "Let Lang Zhong treat Song Shiyao's injury, if it can't be cured...... The old man wants his life! ”
He rushed to the head of the city regardless of his image, panting and looking at the three horsemen who were moving away.
"It's so cunning, do you want to pursue?"
Li Shizhong was also very annoyed, but he was fine, which was a false alarm.
Xiao Gu shook his head and said: "Who knows if there is an ambush behind, but it is not easy to chase at the moment, it's just that people go out of the city to investigate, and the drills of all the armies have stopped, and they are ready to ......."
They deliberated for a while on the top of the city, and decided on a plan to defend it severely.
"There's cavalry coming!"
The cavalry was found at the head of the city again, and Xiao Gu said: "As the old man expected, be on guard, the whole city is on alert." ”
As the order was delivered, the armies began to assemble and march to the city.
"That's not right."
Song Cheng squinted into the distance and said, "How is it the three horses?" ”
Xiao Gu saw that it was the same, and when the three horsemen gradually approached, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Isn't it that general?" ”
"He didn't run away, but came back?"
"Such arrogance, appease the envoy, and ask the subordinate to go out of the city to meet the attack."
Three cavalrymen, take some people out of the city to drive them away.
"No need......
Xiao Gu's voice was cold.
"Enemy Rider ......"
More than 30 riders in front came slowly.
"Left! There are also on the right. ”
More than 30 horsemen were outflanked on the left and right.
"Where is the cavalry?"
"It's Black Armor!"
"They're flagging! What is written? ”
"It's the ...... of the mountain"
"It's the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Oh my God! It turned out to be a military horn with Bishan. ”
"Bishan Army!"
Xiao Gu said in surprise: "Bishan Army, where is this military number?" ”
Song Shiyao hastily treated the wound, he glanced at it when he heard it, and exclaimed: "It's the Bishan army of Bianliang, and it's the Xiongzhou soldiers trained by Shen Zhizhao." ”
As a member of the army, he knew some of the things that happened to the Bishan Army in Bianliang, and he was a little disdainful.
But at this moment, the Bishan Army actually came here, what does this mean?
"It's a country soldier!"
it!
Xiao Gu's enthusiasm dissipated instantly.
"Township soldiers...... Is this here to have fun? ”
The composition of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was the forbidden army, the box army, and the township soldiers.
The townsfolk are here for a fart!
"They're speeding up!"
……
The first one is sent and asks for a monthly pass.
