Chapter 507

The two armies confronted each other, and the atmosphere became more and more chill.

Behind Wanyan Lin, more than a hundred riders stepped forward together, and the knights on the horses were condescending one by one, looking down at Chen Ran and others.A few men waved their horsewhips and swished over the heads of the Dinghai soldiers, which was full of provocation and humiliation.

The humiliated Dinghai officers and soldiers were all angry, but they didn't move until Chen Ran gave orders.In the next instant, hundreds of soldiers who were originally scattered in the city of Feiyin and built camps with the peasants poured out from the west gate.Although they were not ready to wear armor and belts, they took the weapons they had at hand and drove all the way to the east bank of Lushui, vaguely surrounding Wanyan Lin's cavalry in Gaixin.

The cavalry suddenly felt a huge threat. Even the horses under their crotches, as if affected by the atmosphere that was about to explode, several of them snorted one after another, stomped their hooves violently, rushed out a few steps, and were caught again. The well-organized infantry was forced to return.

But Wan Yanlin, the right wing of the military guards, is by no means comparable to the grass heads who have been randomly worshiped by the emperor in the past two years.

He was a fierce general who fought against the armies of Song and Xia in the area of ​​Qin and Gong during the Taihe period. He was appointed as the defense envoy of Qinzhou at that time. Facing Wu Xi's elite generals Feng Xing, Yang Xiong, and Li Gui's elite cavalry of [-] horsemen, they won another battle.

That series of battles was a rare brilliant victory for Dajin when Taihe defeated Song Dynasty.So in the next few years, Wanyan Gang, Wanyan Chengyu, Shuhu Gaoqi and others who fought side by side with Wanyan Lin have successively achieved the status of general and even marshal. Now, instead, he became the subordinate of Shuhu Gao Qi.

Even so, he is still one of the fewer and fewer veteran generals in the Kingdom of Jin.When the Mongolian army was pressing down on the border, he dared to raise troops to stop the actions of the Ding Navy, and he did have a basis for force.

As soon as the encirclement circle of the light soldiers of the Ding Navy was formed, Jue Cong, who was beside Wan Yanlin, took out his horn and blew it.There was a lot of smoke and dust in the upper reaches of Lushui River, thousands of cavalry flowed like a stream, and dozens of khaki and black military flags stretched like dragons, flying towards them!

You don't need to look closely at the riders, just listen to the rumbling hooves and the smoke and dust rising, Chen Ran can be sure that at least one-third of the cavalry team are armored iron floats, and they are all well-trained. Prime elite.

This kind of heavy cavalry is also the capital of the navy, so Chen Ran will never make a mistake.

This force may exceed the range that Chen Ran's troops can resist, and he also understands it.

But he didn't show any signs of wavering, until the cavalry approached to the range of Lixu, he squinted his eyes and commented:

"Marshal Shuhu Gaoqi wants to send out such a cavalry team at any time. It's not easy. The Wuwei Army and Weijie Army can't do it either. Looking at the banner, there are Marshal Wanyan Chenghui's subordinates here, and maybe the Yongtai Army Jiedu Envoy Mongolian Gang Your subordinates, right? In order to block my way to establish a navy, the senior officials in Zhongdu City have worked together very well... If these cavalry suffer losses, will the senior officials feel sorry for you?"

With a cold face, Wanyan Phosphate said in a deep voice: "This is not Shandong, it is Zhongdu, the capital of Dajin, and it has a hundred thousand soldiers! If your family's Guo Xuan envoy comes, it might not be impossible to see you in pilgrimage. You are mere one Qian Jurisdiction, don't think about fighting against the majesty of the court!"

Seeing that Chen Ran's momentum was slightly suppressed, Wan Yanlin pulled his horse forward a few steps, leaned over and asked again: "Marshal Gao Qi's order is to let you go back to Zhigu Village and supervise the transportation of money and food. I only ask you, Do you listen to the orders of Deputy Marshal Zuo?"

Chen Ran patted Wanyan Lin's slender neck on his horse: "Wanyan Dutong was also so majestic when he faced the Mongolian army? Why don't you hurry up and take these powerful generals to kill Genghis Khan?" On the day of the triumphant return of the capital, how about our department turning around and going back to Shandong, and not even staying in Zhigu village for half a step?"

This is simply cursing me to death, right?How vicious this guy is!

Wanyan Phosphorus was so angry that he laughed back, and almost drew his knife to kill someone.

"Cough cough..."

Wanyan Xilie next to him got off his horse at some point, and inserted himself between the two of them: "Dutong, what Chen Qianxia said was out of anger, none of us are capable of that, so there is no need to be angry, right?"

He turned around and thought about Chen Rangong and cupped his hands: "Chen Qianju, Guo Xuanshi is the pillar of Dajin. I think he sent troops to the central capital to assist the court in fighting the Mongols, not to make peace with him." The imperial court fights, right?"

This envoy of the Servant Bureau looked thin and thin, but once he stood in front of Chen Ran, he couldn't hide the strength contained in his muscles and the martial aura at all.

Although Ding Haijun has left the central capital, because Du Shisheng is active there, the military center always pays attention to the figures in the DPRK and China.

Therefore, Chen Ran knew that Wanyan Xilie, the envoy of the Bureau of Attendants, undoubtedly represented the emperor here.If envoy Guo Xuan was here, he could be ruthless at every turn, but as Chen Ran, he couldn't insult this person lightly.

What's more, this Wanyan Xilie is not an ordinary mediocre person.

According to the news sent back by Du Shisheng, Yehuling was defeated that year, and because of his old mother's old age, this man had to submit to the rule of Fengzhou Mongols.But then the two brothers joined forces, robbed and killed the Mongolian prison guard, and seized the horse to serve his mother and ran south.

After the Mongolian army found out, they dispatched iron cavalry to chase after them. The two brothers lost their horses and were able to pull their carts on dangerous roads. After going through untold hardships, they finally fled back to Zhongdu.

Such a feat is admirable enough.

And the truth he said at this time is also on the bright side. He has praised Guo Xuanwei as a pillar of the court. Could Chen Ran still refute him, saying that the whole team of Dinghai is a bandit?
Seeing that Chen Ran's face softened a little, Wanyan said again: "You two, why bother with some trivial matters? The envoys of the Song Dynasty are waiting by the side. We warriors from Shangguo, don't let Daoyi see the joke."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Wan Yanlin asked.

Wan Yan Xie Lie pondered and said: "Chen Qianzhi is a brave general of the Ding Navy. It is overkill to only guard a Zhigu stronghold. I think, starting from Huyin County, all the garrisons in the lower reaches of the Lushui River should invite Chen Qian Ju is in charge, how about it?"

Wan Yanlin and Chen Ran thought for a while at the same time.

Wan Yanlin thought, no matter what, he always blocked Ding Haijun's intention to enter Zhongdu.Although the Ding Navy is allowed to operate along the Lushui River, this group of people can't be stopped by their own side by virtue of the benefits of the sea ships.

And Chen Ran, in fact, there is no hindrance.

"it is good!"

"Just do it!"

Wanyan laughed obliquely, and inadvertently looked at Hou Zhongxin who was watching calmly: "By the way, as for the envoys from the Song Dynasty..."

"These people are just going the same way with us!" Chen Ran waved his hands indifferently: "Take them all away!"

Both Wan Yan Lin and Wan Yan Xie Lie were overjoyed.

Originally, the emperor was very worried that Ding Haijun would use the envoys of the Song Dynasty to cause trouble. Even if it could be resolved in the end, it would greatly hinder the majesty of the court.It turns out that Ding Haijun doesn't mind this?Haha, that would be great.

In this way, the mission of this trip will not be perfectly accomplished!

Wanyan Lin immediately ignored Chen Ran, turned his horse to face Hou Zhongxin.

"Officials of the Southern Dynasty..."

He looked down at Hou Zhongxin, and tapped Hou Zhongxin's shoulder with his horsewhip: "Come on! Come with me into Zhongdu! Set off immediately, move fast!"

Hou Zhongxin was waiting to see an internal strife between the warriors of the Kingdom of Jin. Unexpectedly, the two families were vicious in appearance, but they reached an agreement very quickly.In a blink of an eye, his side turned from a bystander to a commodity being sold to the next family, and the next family, it seemed, was not as polite as Ding Haiwan.

He nodded reluctantly:
"Here, Dutong, if you represent the Great Jin court to receive us, I don't know, do you have the appointment documents for the accompanying envoy? I am the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty, and I am in the hand of the envoy, and I have the list of envoys and the living certificate to deliver Companion. In addition, the etiquette of crossing borders cannot be abolished. Where are the cottages and pavilions arranged by you?"

Wan Yanlin shouted impatiently: "You people from the Southern Dynasty really want to pay attention to etiquette, why did you come from the sea? What are you pretending to be? There is a war going on right now, and the main force of the Mongolian army will arrive at any time, everyone hurry up and follow me! Night There's no harm in sailing!"

Hou Zhongxin smiled wryly, knowing that he had bumped into an unreasonable Jurchen savage.

He and Ding Yan came here with the important task of negotiating the amount of the new year's coins and assessing the reality of the Jin Kingdom, and they didn't agree with this incident, so they could only respond: "Please wait a moment, I will immediately go to urge the fleet and people."

Not long after, the fleet of the Song Dynasty envoys came out from the west port branch.

The further upstream Lushui went, the more silted up it became. Naturally, at this time, Tsunado, controlled by the Undecided Navy, stepped forward to pull the fibers.Fortunately, the two envoys knew the importance, and their families gave a large sum of money, rewarding the accompanying soldiers and young men, and urging them to go ashore to help.

The soldiers received several orders from Dujue, but most of them were pretending on both sides of the strait.On the contrary, those young men recruited by Hou Zhongxin were very attentive.They quickly lined up in a team, and began to shout the chant and pull the rough rope under the command of the guide.

As night fell gradually, a large group of cavalry from the Jin army surrounded the Song fleet and disappeared under the dark sky, behind the large expanse of reeds and tarpaulins.

The soldiers of the Ding Navy had all cheered up and were about to reach the central capital, but they were forced to retreat halfway.This is difficult for soldiers who are accustomed to victory.Many people couldn't hide their disappointment, and some even ignored their superiors and went back to camp muttering to themselves.

And Chen Ran just stood there, watching the direction of the fleet.

Chen Ran was appointed as a general by the envoy not long ago to serve as the leader of the whole army, but it was obvious that this trip was defeated by the Jurchen.One will worry that he is too angry to contain himself.So he took a few steps forward and asked cautiously: "Qianju, let's camp and rest, and plan how to deal with it at night?"

Chen Ran turned around, but with an incomprehensible smile on his face: "What should we do? We don't have to deal with it, haha, it's good like this!"

After walking two steps, he asked again: "You mean, isn't stretching hard? It's even harder for laymen who are suddenly forced to do this, right?"

"That's natural."

"Ha ha ha ha!"
