Chapter 506

"who?"

Ding Tang also rushed out from the cabin.He was born as a literati, elegant and eloquent, but he had just been in the military and was not used to facing such emergencies.

At this time, his face was completely pale, and he stepped on the board of the boat and stomped loudly: "The Mongolian army is coming again? The Shandong people didn't stop them? These gangs are useless!"

Hou Zhongxin gave Ding Yan a strong tug: "Scholar, the ones here are not Mongols!"

"what?"

"The Ding Navy is stationed every day, and the surrounding area must be heavily guarded, and there are constant sentries from far and near. Unless the Mongolian army uses a brigade of thousands of people, how can they break into the vicinity of the camp? Even if the so-called elite black army came the day before yesterday, they would immediately I was expelled. Don't worry, bachelor, I think this group of people should be the Golden Army of the Central Capital who came to meet us!"

"Oh?" Ding Yan looked suspiciously at the other side, and sure enough, although the two sides were confronting each other nervously, they didn't really fight.

He relaxed a little, and said in a deep voice: "That can't be ignored... After all, this journey has been full of wars... Who knows what kind of plans the Jurchens have!"

Having said that, he pointed to one of his followers: "Go get my bow and arrow!"

Song and Jin countries received each other's envoys, and there was a part called "shooting bow banquet". The two sides had to compete in archery at the banquet to show their national prestige.In the past few decades, as the Jurchen's military equipment has been weakened, the envoys of the Song Dynasty have gained the upper hand in every bow-shooting feast.

This time when the Song Dynasty came to envoy, the deputy envoy Hou Zhongxin was certainly a seasoned warrior. He was envoy Ding Can not only to write colorful articles, but also to shoot bows with hundreds of steps.

After a while, I took the bow.

Although he was using a light bow and arrows, Ding Can's courage was strong with the weapon in his hand.He looked around and saw that the soldiers and strong men of his subordinates were all holding sharp swords and guarding the convoy, and immediately shouted: "Who is going to ask about the situation on the other side? You have to find out!"

For this kind of thing, Hou Zhongxin did his part, and bowed to salute: "Scholar, I'll go."

Lifting his robe feet, he hurried back to the small boat he was in when he came back, urging the boatman to put on the pole quickly.

When the boat was swaying away from the shore, Ding Yan was shouting orders from behind, telling the soldiers and strong men to cheer up and be on alert.In the emissary team, the leader and the two commanders also showed off their spirits in front of Ding Can, shouting and shouting.

After envoys go out of Xinjiang, they can be promoted as usual, and the chief and deputy envoys have the right to appoint subordinate officials.Therefore, the entourage is nominally selected by the Privy Council from the Sanya and the Imperial City Department, etc., but most of them are actually the private persons of the envoys, so that they can issue promotion tickets in their hands in the future.

These people are in charge and command, and they are all close to Ding Cang, so they naturally acted bravely at the moment.On the contrary, the [-] strong men recruited by Hou Zhongxin at the border only guarded the fleet silently, and they were as strict as a strong army.

Hou Zhongxin turned around on the boat and quietly shook his head.

No matter how mighty he is at this moment, it can't match the flustered look just now.Whether you have seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, whether you have fought vicious battles or not, cannot be concealed from insiders.These soldiers have been enjoying the blessings for a long time, and their military literacy is far worse than that of the strong men, let alone compared with the elite of the Ding Navy.

The water surface undulated, the boat creaked away from the west bank, bypassed the swaying reeds, and reached the opposite bank in a blink of an eye.

Hou Zhongxin jumped onto the military ship leaning on the shore, stepped on the long wooden planks on the shore, and walked all the way into the camp where the two sides were facing each other.

The soldiers of the Dinghai Navy had obviously been ordered, and no one stopped them.

In the cavalry lined up with wild goose wings, almost everyone is wearing iron armor and a fine iron helmet, and the horses are also magnificent.Look at the faces of the knights, or the Jurchen warriors with golden rings on their earlobes, or the Yiren or Qijun knights with their heads shaved and braided, following the customs of the Jurchens.

In front of the cavalry, a leopard-headed general with bearded eyes and a beard was staring at Chen Ran fiercely. Standing shoulder to shoulder with him was a tall, thin and broad-shouldered man who served as the imperial servant of the Jin Kingdom color.

Feng Yu of the Near Service Bureau?
It has been heard for a long time that since the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin came to the throne, most of the people close to him in the Servant Bureau remotely controlled the military affairs of the foreign dynasty.Did this person in front of him come here under the order of the Emperor of Jin?

Hou Zhongxin stopped, and stood on the sides of the opposing sides.

The tall and thin man immediately noticed Hou Zhongxin, and glanced at his curly-footed head, the Southern Dynasty-style official uniform and raccoon sleeves, then smiled and nodded slightly.

At this time, the bearded general said to Chen Ran in a deep voice: "I know you! You were a sergeant in Jiehao, Fuzhou in the early years, and later followed Guo Ning, and set fire to Zhangyimen in Zhongdu. Later, Guo Ning fought in Zhongdu. You He also followed the whole process. Now Guo Ning has become the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong, and you have been promoted to be a pro-military officer, right?"

"That's right!"

Chen Ran said proudly: "Although I am not talented, I am familiar with the inside and outside of the Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu, so I was taken care of by my family's envoy, and was given the responsibility of raising troops first to serve the king. Why, is there anyone in Zhongdu who doubts us? Is Dinghai good at fighting? Although we are only a small vanguard sent by Guo Xuan, we have captured many enemy heads along the way. If the general is interested, you may as well let me go and have a look."

The bearded general's face was as iron as iron, and he didn't pay any attention.

After a while, he said: "The suspicion in Zhongdu City is not whether you are good at fighting or not. In short, I have brought Marshal Gao Qi's warrant. Chen Qianju, you and the soldiers you brought don't have to go any further. It’s time to go north. The marshal has ordered the navy to guard the Zhigu village and supervise the transportation of money and food. Other than that, especially in Zhongdu, there are people in charge, so you don’t need to worry about it!”

As soon as these words came out, the officers and men of the Ding Navy surrounded by Chen Ran all showed dissatisfaction.

Chen Ran sneered a few times, raised his horsewhip, and pointed at General Qiubeard: "We are not allowed to enter the Central Capital? Is this an order from Shuhu Gaoqi? My envoy will be here in a short while. Do you think Shuhu Gaoqi is worthy or not? Don’t dare to issue this order to my family!”

"Bastard!"

General Qiuran was furious, and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist: "A mere officer dares to call Marshal Gao Qi's name! Bold! Court death!"

"Looking for death? Calling Shuhu Gao Qi's name is courting death? Are you willing to use this crime to scare people?"

Chen Ran laughed out loud.Amidst the laughter, he looked back at the knight beside him: "Let's not mention Shuhu Gaoqi for now. Do you know the identities of the two men who came here to deliver the order?"

The knight jokingly said: "Please also give advice."

"These two people, one is Wan Yan Lin, the right wing commander of the military guards of the Central Capital, and the other is Wan Yan Xilie, the envoy of the Emperor's Servant Bureau."

"Oh? Is the official position very big? Can it scare people?"

Chen Ran stared at the two of them: "I don't know about this, I just remember that our army killed Hu Shahu's troops in Zhongdu that day, killing more than one Dutong like mowing grass; However, I heard a while ago that there seems to be a close servant or something, who wanted to go south to Shandong by sea boat, but was caught in a storm and died."

When these words came out, Wanyan Lin and Wanyan Xilie were all annoyed.

The cavalry in the back are all the emperor's former military guards reorganized in the past year, and they can't tolerate the nonsense of a mere governor from Shandong. Before Wan Yanlin gives orders, hundreds of elite cavalry will put on a pose and draw their swords The sound of the sword being drawn resounded through the front of the formation.

Wan Yanlin glanced at the cavalry behind him, feeling more courageous.

He is the former subordinate and confidant of Shuhu Gaoqi, and he knows a lot of inside information.

The two came here, saying that they were following the order of Shuhu Gaoqi, but actually it was the emperor's intention.It's just that the emperor didn't want to break up with Ding Haijun directly, and wanted to leave a little room for mediation.

In fact, it was precisely because Ding Haijun was such an unscrupulous anti-thief faction that the emperor didn't want them to enter the capital!

Yesterday the emperor heard that the front of the Ding Navy had arrived at Zhigu Village, and jumped violently in the Da'an Hall on the spot.

What good can these grassroots do when they arrive in Zhongdu?They also hijacked the envoys of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty?His heart can be punished!I think they don't want to be kings, but want to enter the capital city and make waves!
Then whenever Guo Ning got upset, he would kill people without blinking an eye. How many people died when Tu Dan led him into the city?What did he do when he arrived in Shandong?Don't you all know?Still know, pretend not to know?

Under the banner of King Qin, his subordinates want to enter Zhongdu?dream!

Find a way for me to stop them!Just let them stay in Zhigu village honestly!Zhongdu City is mine!In this city, the wind can enter, and the rain can enter, only Guo Ning's subordinate, the brave warrior of the Ding Navy, is not allowed to enter!

The emperor's original words were so, it can be said that he lost his composure to the extreme.As a courtier, why don't you know what to do?Marshal Shuhu Gaoqi immediately mobilized the elite cavalry of the Qi army out of the city, and arrived day and night.

The mission of this trip is to intercept the soldiers and horses of the Ding Navy, and to bring back the envoys of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.If it really doesn't work, it's enough to drive back the envoys from the Southern Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of Dinghai together!

　That's right, there is a new leader.Thank you Master ROFLMAO!
