Chapter 478: Eat me with a knife!

Author: solid state drive

As time passed, the team leaving the city gradually formed three sections. The first section was the Forbidden Army Guards headed by Zhao Ji and the other groups in front of the palace to clear the way.

The second section shows the inspired and enthusiastic people in Bianjing City. They are in scattered formations and holding various weapons in their hands, but they still follow Zhao Ji closely.

Those with horses were at the front, and those without horses followed at a trot. A quick march of more than ten miles was a marathon to modern people, but to ancient people, it was just a distance of travel and outing.

If the troops in front of the palace hadn't kept warning them, this group of passionate people would have directly surpassed Zhao Ji and rushed into the Jin camp to be killed first in honor.

The third section is the court team headed by Zhao Huan. Most of them are chariots and horses, and the speed is much slower. However, this can be regarded as following the wishes of many officials. After all, they do not really want to fight, they just plan to run back at any time.

.

On the other side, Wanyan Zongwang was anxious, standing on the high ground in the camp, looking at the front line of the Song army eight miles away.

Every quarter of an hour, a quick horse would come back from the agreed-upon duel point to replace the enemy, and report to him the latest trends of the Song people. From time to time, there would also be the latest news in the city brought back by scouts from other places.

"Why haven't you come yet? The people of Song Dynasty have a lot of red tape, and the information that they haven't left the city at this time will not be received at all. Isn't this person of Song Dynasty cowardly?"

"Let me tell you, the Song people will definitely cheat. They are deceiving us and want us to withdraw our troops early."

Listening to Wanyan Yanmu's second-guessing, Wanyan Zongwang just wanted to give him a slap in the face. He was already miserable enough, and this guy wanted to come over to cause trouble.

"Urgent report! Report to the general! The passages in Bianjing are under strict security and security has been changed. The message is late!

The emperor of the Song Dynasty and his officials were riding horses and armor, and they were bewitching the people in the city. Their words were sharp, and all the people of the Song Dynasty were bewitched to death by them!"

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty, and their officials all wore armor and rode out of the city?"

After Wanyan Zongwang confirmed it, not only did his heart not relax, but the string was tightened even tighter.

Zhao Ji rode out of the city on horseback, and even the emperor followed him. This was a direct loss of the tortoise shell. Was it a bluff or a conspiracy?

Or maybe they were deceived, and if they really want to attack them directly, we will see the result soon.

But no matter what, he also set the goal in his heart to capture Zhao Ji alive. As for killing Zhao Ji, this is definitely impossible.

Only with Zhao Ji's speech yesterday, the living Zhao Ji could persuade the Song Dynasty people to use the rat weapon, otherwise it would only become a weapon for Zhao Huan to resist him.

As the first piece of information was sent, more and more information began to be sent, and the scouts monitoring everywhere also brought back the movements of the forbidden troops out of the city, confirming that Zhao Ji and the others were really on the front line.

"No, it seems that the Supreme Prince of Song Dynasty is determined to challenge you. It's strange, why did he single out you for a duel instead of me, the general?"

Wanyan He's mother still hasn't figured it out. Even if he is the nominal ruler, challenging him is better than challenging Wanyan Zongwang who is accompanying the army, right?

Unless the Song people also have information channels in their Jin country, they can know that Wanyan Zongwang is the general in charge. Thinking about it this way, Tong Guan seems to be?

"How do I know? When I catch him and ask him in person, I will know his ridiculous thoughts."

"Don't be careless. I observe that the people of Song Dynasty may have plans to fight to the death. I will give you 10,000 people soon. Capture the thief first and capture the king first."

"That's fine, as long as we capture these two emperors, the Song people won't have to worry about the remaining two-legged sheep."

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said coldly, holding the handle of the knife tightly in his hand.

After hearing the content of Zhao Ji's speech in the city, he didn't take it seriously. The people of the Song Dynasty were mobilized, which was equivalent to tens of thousands more human shields.

"Urgent report! Report to the general! The Supreme Prince of the Song Dynasty has arrived at the Zhongjiajun camp and is ordering a messenger to come over to confirm your identity! We are also invited to send someone over immediately to confirm."

"Immediately send someone to confirm. Hu Ha, go in person and write down the Song people's camp layout for me to see their attitude."

"yes!"

After being called out, the young general clasped his fists and quickly rode his horse to the midpoint of the negotiation position between the two sides. There, both sides verified that they did not carry assassination equipment, and then rushed to the enemy camp to confirm.

The purpose of confirming the identity was to make Wanyan Zongwang believe that the Song Dynasty would not make a surprise attack. It can be said that it was done with full sincerity. Both sides would send five people from each side to go to the other side's camp for confirmation after passing the midpoint.

After confirming their identities, each time Wanyan Zongwang and Zhao Ji traveled one mile to the duel point, one person would return and report to the duel center for substitutions.

This can directly confirm that the army behind the opponent will not suddenly dispatch, and both sides also have enough human shields to protect themselves and escape back to their own camps.

Wanyan Zongwang looked at the five Song messengers who came to confirm his identity, feeling a little helpless. Although this approach confirmed to him that the Song people could not make a surprise attack, he could not let the army directly attack him.

"Cunning Song people."

As he murmured in his mouth, the leading messenger came over on horseback. He ignored the warning of the guards around him to dismount and looked at him arrogantly. This look made Wanyan Zongwang very unhappy.

"No! My Majesty asked me to ask you. We, the people of the Song Dynasty, want to fight outside.

For the sake of fairness, your Jin army can be two miles closer to the center of the duel, do you agree?"

"How come you are one mile closer and I am two miles closer?"

"Just because we are from the Song Dynasty and not just like you herders, what the heck! Don't you agree?"

"!"

Wanyan's mother was shocked, not only because he was completely ignored, but also because what this Song man said made them uncomfortable.

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes were about to spit fire. Do the people of Song Dynasty think he is stupid? People are watching, does he really believe it? Is he afraid that the elite soldiers who are separated by a mile are about the same, and they can't see each other?

"Impossible, they are still three miles apart from each other. This is already giving face to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Don't be ungrateful, get out of here and give him a message, otherwise I will kill you now."

"Since you have no intention of confronting us, then kill us!"

Looking at the messengers with stiff necks, Wanyan Zongwang was dumbfounded, Wanyan Yanmu was dumbfounded, and the Jin generals were dumbfounded.

"You really think I don't dare to kill you!"

Wanyan Zongwang said in a deep voice, and the guards immediately took aim with their bows. They were already thinking in their hearts whether one mile of ground was enough for him to find out what was wrong and run away, and whether three miles of ground was enough for the army to rush directly to the Song Dynasty's position.

But this matter, no matter how you think about it, there is something strange about it. Today's group of messengers are not officials, but military personnel, but their tempers are so bad that they don't look like Song people who are dissatisfied with the army, but more like a few lunatics.

"Since I dare to come, I don't want to go back alive. You Jin people are treacherous and tearing up the covenant is the result of aborting your mother's womb. Bah."

"I……"

Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, but Wanyan's mother stopped him. After Wanyan Zongwang calmed down, Wanyan's mother looked back.

"Dolha, bring some gifts."

After finishing speaking, Wanyan He's mother looked at the messenger.

"It's still early, so some of the messengers would like to leave later and take a look first before talking."

Wanyan's mother had obviously been prepared, and soon a box was brought over, which contained a lot of land deeds and pawn tickets. Although it was not like the prosperous banknotes and banknotes later, those who knew the goods knew their value.

"I like smart people very much. Do you think we can talk properly?"

Two of the five people were obviously interested, but the eyes of the remaining three were red. This made Wanyan Yanmu instantly know that something was going to happen.

"Kill me from the Song Dynasty and use my Song Dynasty property to bribe us?"

"He Er, don't delay the business!"

Seeing that his brother was angry, the leader of the team quickly stopped him, looked at Wanyan Zongwang, and asked one last time.

"Do you agree or not? For the sake of fairness, the Supreme Leader said that you can bring ten personal guards with you, and our Supreme Leader will fight alone.

If the people watching you are lying, it will be enough for you to react and escape back to the camp."

"It's a deal! However, I request that your cavalry must be three miles away from the duel point!"

Wanyan Zongwang nodded instantly, and did not boldly say that if Zhao Ji didn't take anyone with him, he wouldn't take him either. Don't give up the opportunity that came to your door.

"I can't make the decision on this. Send someone back with us to report the situation to your people, and also report your intentions to the Supreme Being.

Second brother, you take their people. Go back and report to the Supreme Being. The Jin people did not cheat and agreed."

"clear."

"Han Tuhu, you go."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and asked the captain of the same clan behind him to follow. The reins in his hands tightened again and again. He really couldn't figure it out.

What kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Ji's gourd? He was allowed to bring ten sergeants with him in a single fight. Wasn't this the one who came to the door and was arrested?

Messengers from both sides kept rushing back and forth. At the beginning of noon, the sun rose in the sky, and the spring breeze in February blew on the border of Henan, making it appear unusually warm.

With one hour left before the duel, the two sides finally reached a final agreement. The Song imperial army and the Jin cavalry were six miles apart.

The common people of the Song Dynasty could come within one mile to watch, while the infantry of the Jin Kingdom could come within two miles of the defense. Zhao Ji would not bring anyone else except for the messengers confirmed by both sides, and Wanyan Zongwang could bring ten cavalry to follow.

This condition...

"No, what kind of military strategy is this for the Song Dynasty people?"

"Death plan."

Wanyan Zongwang said casually and looked at the group of Song messengers who had changed. These people looked obviously much more majestic. They should be the elite forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty, but none of them carried weapons.

"Are you ready to arrest me? Or are you ready to die?"

He muttered to himself, and soon another messenger came to report that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had left the city for ten miles and was about to arrive at the Zhong Family Military Camp.

"Du Tong, and Sixth Brother, the Song people currently have nearly 100,000 people in the camp in front of the Zhong Family Army and the Hubao Battalion. It is not easy to attack by force. Instead, it is the area of ​​Mazi Mountain in the southwest. The army evacuated last night.

You don't need to keep more people around later. I will lead people to capture the Song Dynasty Supreme Leader, and then quickly retreat to the river. Let Guo Yaoshi pretend to attack their camp, elicit their escort and rescue, and lead them to the river.

You are planning to insert yourself from the foot of Mazi Mountain in the southwest to the Song people's rear camp, and directly capture Bianjing and the retreating Song emperor. As soon as the city of Bianjing is defeated, it will be the time to fight back."
