Chapter 347

Great Song Dynasty, Jingyuan.

Although Wang Lin came to Jingyuan with his army, he didn't live in the city, but in the barracks outside the city.

Liang Hongyu hurried into the tent, hesitated to speak.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Hongyu, just say what you want, why hesitate? Chongde asked you to come, right?"

Liang Hongyu then smiled and said: "My lord, you too, you have to give Emperor Chongde a reassurance, don't you? What kind of agreement is this time to get married? Do you really want her to go to Xixia?"

Wang Lin chuckled and said, "Go back and tell her to be safe and not to be impatient. It's uncertain whether to go or not, but even if I go, I can take care of her. There's no need to worry about it all day long."

Liang Hongyu hummed, turned around and went to inform Chongde.

Yan Qing reported in the account: "My lord, there is news from the Xixia people that the lord will personally guard the princess and enter Xixia and go to Lingwu. The prince of Xixia will hold a wedding in Lingwu. Please watch the ceremony."

Oh?
Wang Lin pondered slightly.

Ordinarily, as a peace envoy, he had fulfilled his duties by escorting him to the border of the Great Song Dynasty, but the people of Xixia, uncharacteristically, insisted on letting him go to Xixia to observe the ceremony.

There was something wrong with this from the start.

The Xixia people insisted on marrying Maode Diji.

And made it clear that it doesn't matter who the princess is, but the name must be Empress Maode.

In other words, the Xixia people came for Wang Lin, with the intention of humiliating and provoking him.

It's just that Wang Lin didn't understand for a while, why the Xixia people were staring at him.

He has never had any intersection with Xixia people.

There should be no wrongdoing.

After thinking for a while, Wang Lin smiled bluntly: "Don't worry about whether the king will go or not, inform the Xixia people and order them to send important ministers and envoys with a considerable level to Jingyuan to welcome me, the Great Song Emperor!"

Yan Qing took the order and left.

Just as Yan Qing was about to leave, Wang Lin asked again, "Xiao Yi, what's happening with Liu Yanqing and Qu Duan?"

Today is the third day of June, and there are still seven days before the deadline for Wang Lin to ask Liu Yanqing and Qu Duan to lead the troops and the future Jingyuan.

Yan Qing murmured: "Back to the lord, Liu Yanqing is said to have set off. In addition to leaving 1 people guarding the Lin Mansion, he led his generals and [-] soldiers to Jingyuan to pay homage to the lord!"

"Only Qu Duan... There has been no movement for a long time."

A sneer sneered at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.

It was no surprise that Liu Yanqing was ordered to come on time.

After all, Liu Guangshi, Liu Yanqing's son, was in the Qingzhou Army and was directly under Wang Lin's jurisdiction. His future and wealth depended on Wang Lin, so Liu Guangshi would have correspondence with his father.

Liu Yanqing didn't dare to offend Wang Lin, let alone disobey his orders.

Qu Duan is a veteran of the Western Army, although he is not very old, he is highly regarded and recommended by his teachers, and has been promoted in recent years.

This person is currently serving as a mighty general, an observer of Qin Fenglu, and concurrently the magistrate of Yan'an.

The official rank of the fourth rank is considered to be a high-ranking one in the Western Army.

The evaluation of him in history books is self-willed and arrogant, which is the fundamental factor for his untimely death.

Wang Lin really didn't want to use his own people as his sons before the Jin people invaded aggressively.

……

The seventh day of June.

Liu Yanqing led all his generals and tens of thousands of soldiers into the territory of Huizhou. He was surprised to see the banners waving outside Jingyuan City and the camp stretched out to the sky.

Fifty thousand cavalry came under Wang Lin's command!

All are cavalry!

Although Liu Yanqing supervised an army of tens of thousands, he only had a few thousand cavalry under his command.

When he received Liu Guangshi's family letter before, he thought it was an exaggeration, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he became serious and began to think about Wang Lin's real intention of mobilizing troops this time.

In fact, don't say that he is such a general in charge of the army, even the people of Huizhou can guess by now that the imperial court is going to use troops against the Xixia people.

There is a possibility of war between the two countries.

General Liu Yanqing, Ma Ding, camped in Shuiquanbao, and then led hundreds of Qingqi into Wang Lin's Qingzhou army camp.

From the gate of Daying to Wang Lin's tent, there is about a distance.

Liu Yanqing walked slowly on the horse, and wherever he went, the Qingzhou soldiers looked solemn, whether they were guarding or walking, they all moved in an orderly manner, the entire camp where the [-] troops were stationed, there was not the slightest noise of noise!

Liu Yanqing felt it was incredible.

He has led soldiers for most of his life, and he knows what kind of group of soldiers at the bottom are.

Over the years, he has served in various places in the Western Army, and he has never seen such a prohibited soldier!
Those with strict military discipline cannot be weak in combat power.

Liu Yanqing's heart was awe-inspiring, he slowly got off his horse, changed to walking, and led two personal soldiers straight to Wang Lin's tent.

In front of the tent, seeing his son Liu Guangshi waiting here, Liu Yanqing took a deep breath.

Knowing that this is Wang Lin's decency and courtesy to him, it is a kind of reward for his order.

Liu Guangshi cast a deep hint to Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing frowned, not knowing why.

Liu Guangshi whispered a few words in his ear, Liu Yanqing suddenly realized, and a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

If Qu Duan disobeyed orders, with Wang Lin's previous style and strong style, he would definitely seize the military power of Qu Duan on behalf of the emperor and the court. At this moment, Liu Yanqing was naturally the most suitable person to command the military power of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qu Duan.

Wang Lin was wearing a python robe and a purple gold crown, sitting behind the desk.

There are fierce generals gathered in the tent, and they are divided into two shifts.

Liu Yanqing didn't dare to be negligent, and stepped forward to pay respects: "Master, pay homage to the prince!"

Wang Lin quietly looked at the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty in front of him.

A family of generals from generation to generation, heroic and courageous, in his early fifties, most of his temple hair is already gray.

"Liu Jiedu is exempt from courtesy."

Liu Yanqing got up and ranked first on the left, which was the position Wang Lin reserved for him.

The Chinese military officer hastily reported: "The magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, Qin Feng Road Observation Envoy Qu Duan and his second lieutenant general, Wu Jie and Wu Lin are here to see you!"

Wang Lin said calmly, "Tell me."

All the generals in the tent held their breath.

Qu Duan did not follow Wang Lin's military order to lead his troops, but only brought two generals under his command, Wu Jie and Wu Lin, to visit Jingyuan.

Qu Duan led Wu Jie and Wu Lin into the big tent, bowed and bowed and said: "My official Qu Duan, I have seen the prince, please forgive me for not being able to fully salute because of the armor on my body."

Behind Qu Duan, Wu Jie and Wu Lin hesitated, and followed suit with a half salute.

Wang Lin looked at Qu Duan, but more eyes fell on Wu Jie and Wu Lin behind Qu Duan.

Qu Duan was in his thirties, with a white face and no beard, a gloomy complexion, and an air of pride all over his body.

Wu Jie and Wu Lin are not yet [-] years old, they are average in size, with only a round face and a square face, and their demeanor is somewhat solemn.

Yue Fei was furious, and scolded: "Presumptuous! This is a military camp, the prince is the general manager of the soldiers and horses of the world, and the commander of the army and horses of the Great Song Dynasty. How dare you refuse to worship when you are in the commander's account?"

Qu Duan proudly sneered: "I am an official appointed by the imperial court. I am a Jinshi and rank. I only kneel down to worship officials, parents, and teachers, and do not worship the rest!"

Liu Guangshi stood in the class with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Qu Duan is a notoriously unruly person, he thinks he has the power in his army, he has a lot of soldiers in his hands, and rarely puts others in his eyes, but this time he met Wang Lin!

And Wang Lin also has the part-time job of the general manager of the world's soldiers and horses, and also leads the affairs of the Privy Council. The key point is that he also holds the imperial gold medal, which can act on behalf of the emperor.

Seeing that Wang Lin didn't worship, wouldn't he be humiliating himself?
To show off to Wang Lin, he must have lost his head, right?
Wang Lin waved his hand, and Yue Fei retreated.

He slowly got up and stood behind the desk, his gaze was like a knife, and his momentum gradually increased.

He took out Zhao Ji's imperial gold medal, held it up high, and said calmly: "Qu Duan, this king patrols the borders on behalf of the emperor, and is the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. You are the general of my Song Dynasty. If you see this king, you will not worship me." Do you despise the king, or despise the court and officials?"

Qu Duan's face turned red, and he looked up at the gold medal in Wang Lin's hand. Although the words "as I come in person" on it are small, they can be seen clearly.

Wang Lin said sternly, "Kneel down!"

Qu Duan gritted his teeth, and finally knelt down on one knee: "I'm impolite!"

Wu Jie and Wu Lin sighed in their hearts, and they also fell to the ground together.

They persuaded Qu Duan from the beginning, no matter what, he should not disobey orders, because Wang Lin was righteous.

The Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World is also in charge of the Privy Council and holds the gold medal from the imperial court. Wang Lin has the right to mobilize the local army, and he will be killed first and then played.

But Qu Duan disagrees.

Although he spoke righteously and strictly, in fact, brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin also knew that the real reason for his disobedience was contempt and hatred for Wang Lin. He had close contacts with the Zhong family. It is the enemy of life and death.

That is, Qu Duan's enemy.

Wang Lin suddenly said coldly: "Liu Jiedu, according to the military law of our Great Song Dynasty, what crime should those who disobey the military order be?"

Liu Yanqing took a deep breath: "Behead according to the law!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lin jumped up against the case: "Qu Duan, you resist our military order and act as a military law! Come on, push Qu Duan out and kill him!"

All the generals were shocked.

Even Liu Guangshi and his son couldn't think of it. They thought that Wang Lin would at most seize the military power of Qu Duan, but they didn't expect to kill him directly.

Qu Duan's eyes widened angrily, and he roared: "Wang Lin, I am the official of the imperial court, how dare you kill me?
How can I leave my post without authorization while guarding Qin Feng and defending Xi Xia with soldiers and horses? !This is the order of the Minister of the Western Armed Forces! "

Wang Lin sarcastically said: "You mean, you only listen to the military order of the teacher, and don't pay attention to the court?

Qu Duan, think about it clearly, I killed you only because you resisted our military order, and it was your fault alone.

If you link up with the sect of the sect, and use my Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty as some people's private army, and give and receive privately, and you only see the sect family without the court, this is a crime of treason, and you will implicate the nine clans! "

Qu Duan's heart turned pale with horror.

Wang Lin said again: "Don't say it's you, even if you are a kind of teacher, if you disobey my military order at this moment, you will also be punished!"

Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi father and son glanced at each other quickly, with strong fear on their faces.

Such an understatement, Wang Lin, is going to put Qu Duan and Zhong Shidao in doom!

Qu Duan was sweating profusely. He was not afraid of death, but he still had family members and relatives. If Wang Lin used this to implicate his relatives...

A bit of remorse arose in Qu Duan's heart.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Han Shizhong lowered his head slightly, and the song was over.

In fact, Han Shizhong knew best that Wang Lin was about to scare the monkeys at this moment, to make an example to others, and to establish a prestige in the army so that he could use Xixia troops.

And at this moment, Qu Duan didn't have eyes, and hit the muzzle of the gun, who else could he blame?

This is his life.

Wang Lin suddenly sternly said: "Push it out, make a decisive decision, show off your head, and inform all the troops. Anyone who refuses to obey orders will use Qu Duan as an example!"
