Chapter 1096

"Master Han, don't worry about this. Where is General Zhong?" Wang Yang raised his voice and raised his voice.

"The general is here." Master Zhongdao, who was sitting in a dangerous position, immediately stood up and saluted Wang Yang.

"You mobilize fifty soldiers to protect Lord Han and his party. Don't let those soldiers disturb Lord Han and the others. If Lord Han wants to investigate the people of Xiazhou City, remember to accompany him and protect him."

"The general obeys orders!" Zhong Shidao obeyed orders awe-inspiringly.

Hearing this, Han Shouzhuo couldn't help squinting his eyes subconsciously. "I have heard for a long time that the Song army is a disciplined army, and the people in this city are all my Daliao people. Under such circumstances, Wang Jinglue is still worried about our safety?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. After all, no one knows what will happen. If Lord Han encounters a problem in this land of Xiazhou and something happens, it's hard to say.

Maybe when the time comes, your Emperor Liao will brazenly attack the Song Dynasty for the sake of Master Han. After all, you have just heard what Master Han said, and you already know that Emperor Liao's temper does not seem to be very good. "

Seeing Wang Yang smiling and talking nonsense, Han Shouzhuo's face turned dark again, he snorted and walked away, while Xu Zhao saluted Wang Yang with a smirk on his face and quickly followed. Go up.

"Wang Jing, Wu Qilang..." After Wang Yang thought about it, he ordered these two loyal generals.

"Young man, I wonder what my master's orders are?..." Wang Jing and Wu Qilang, who were squatting behind Wang Yang's buttocks, walked up to Wang Yang together.

"Choose ten clever brothers and divide them into two shifts. Let me watch secretly day and night, watch them to death, and see if they want to make trouble in this city of Xiazhou..." After Wang Yang nodded to the two of them, he ordered.

As soon as the two left, Zongze stood up, stroking his long beard. "If Han Jinglue wants to obtain something valuable in the city, in my opinion, Yuanyou's trebuchet will be their target."

"That's right, Mr. Zong is right. Gao also felt that what Han Shouzhuo just said was just a reason for him to stay in Xiazhou City. His purpose was probably for Yuanyou's stone throwing machine. "Gao Shize also nodded in agreement.

Seeing Wang Yang's gaze, Zhong Shidao stood up and saluted Wang Yang. "My lord, don't worry, the eight Yuanyou catapults are now under strict surveillance. Except for the manpower of the catapult battalion, no one can approach the Yuanyou catapult within [-] feet..."

Yuanyou's trebuchet can be regarded as the most powerful offensive and defensive weapon in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, the confidentiality of its trebuchet is very good. Moreover, the trebuchet is covered with felt cloth when not in war. to prevent prying eyes from observing its structure.

In addition, Yuanyou's catapult sites are surrounded by masonry or wooden walls, and a three-foot-high wall is built. Inside and outside the wall are three steps, one post, five steps and one post, and there are sentry towers and archery towers at the four corners.In this way, even those with ulterior motives who wanted to observe from a distance would not be able to see the true face of Yuanyou's trebuchet at all.

If you want to get closer, you must first ask the Song army guarding Yuanyou's trebuchet if they are blind or deaf.It can be said that the defense work of Yuanyou's trebuchet is simply no easier than that of the Imperial Palace.

"That's good. The longer the secret of Yuanyou's trebuchet can be kept, the better. After all, before there is a new alternative offensive and defensive weapon, I, Song, still need to rely on it." Wang Yang is satisfied He nodded and said.

"My lord, what should we do? It seems that those Song dogs will never give us a chance..." A Liao general pretending to be Han Shouzhuo's new follower leaned in front of the window, looked outside, and looked at those courtyards The soldiers of the Song army patrolling inside couldn't help itching their teeth.

"It's okay, the matter has come to this, so let's be patient for a while, and then look for opportunities. As long as we are still in Xiazhou City, we can always find opportunities. In addition, you can also walk around the city to visit me, Daliao The people are for the people, let’s see if we can find a suitable candidate.”

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, we will definitely try to find a chance to test it out." The few followers in the room all promised.

Sure enough, in the next three days, Han Shouzhuo and his subordinates really racked their brains to get rid of those Song Army soldiers.

Unfortunately, those Song soldiers who had received strict orders from the summit were not stupid either. Han Shouzhuo and his entourage only had more than ten people, and the Song army adopted typical man-to-man tactics.

Every two people are responsible for keeping an eye on one Liao person, but whenever you want to go out, okay, the two of us will accompany you, no matter if you go to the end of the world or the corner of the world, even if you go to squat in the toilet, there will always be someone Standing in front of you smiling.

On the fourth day, Han Shouzhuo and his entourage were going crazy, but there was nothing they could do. Even if you wanted to get out over the wall, you would see eager smiles and gestures with big knives. It's up to you Whether to continue to climb out or roll back actively.

Regarding such small episodes, Wang Yang only occasionally listened to the reports from the soldiers and ignored them. Instead, he focused on the news that frequently came from the capital.

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom had already arrived at Bianliang, Tokyo, and they opened their mouths at the lion. Song Ting wanted to hand over the murderer who captured the Liao border soldiers, and hand over the culprit to the Liao Kingdom for punishment.Moreover, the Song army was required to withdraw from Xiazhou immediately, and compensate the Liao State with 20 taels of silver, [-] sets of Yuanyou armors, [-] pieces of Yuanyou crossbows, and [-] sets of Yuanyou catapults...

Seeing the conditions put forward by the Liao Kingdom's envoy, Wang Yang almost turned his nose off in anger. What does the emperor of Liao Dynasty, Yelu Hongji, regard Song Dynasty as a fool?
When a group of civil and military officials who stayed in Xiazhou learned the news from Wang Yang, even officials such as Zongze, who had a heavy attitude, couldn't help but change their expressions. "The emperor of the Liao Kingdom must have damaged his brain due to drinking, and he dared to propose such conditions to me, the Song Dynasty."

"Haha, the sky is full of asking for prices. However, this is not asking for prices. It is clearly full of fucking nonsense. Why didn't your Majesty just drive the envoy back to Liao territory?" Zhe Ke cursed in anger. .

Gao Shi smiled sinisterly, stroked the short beard under his chin and said coldly.

"This is normal. The Liao people have been coveting all kinds of new equipment from our Great Song Dynasty for a long time. You see, they may not want the 20 taels of silver, maybe even Xiazhou they can let go.

But for the military equipment of my Great Song Dynasty, they must be very eager to get enough samples, so that the Liao Kingdom can imitate it. "

"Brother Shi Ze is right. However, what the Liao Kingdom wants and needs, it is no wonder that Song Dynasty can fulfill their wish." Wang Yang said with a smile on his lips.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if Xiazhou is returned to the Liao Kingdom, but if you want my Song Dynasty's military equipment, let alone the door, I'm not even going to leave it to them."
