Outside the duty room, the sergeant loudly reported.
He Lianrong looked at the document in his hand and remained motionless.
"I'll take my leave, villain."
Kanazawa waved his hand, waited for the sergeant to leave, and said, "The envoy has gone to the top of the city."
"Well!" He Lianrong picked up the brush, licked the ink in the inkstone, and looked up at Kanazawa, "The emperor's uncle's position is closely following His Majesty, which is not good for Lin Ya and others, nor for the powerful. Therefore, they
They all hope that I will fall into trouble in Tanzhou."
He lowered his head, wrote down his opinions on the document, put the brush on the pen holder, closed the document, and placed it on the upper right corner of the table, "But it has always been difficult for emperors and crown princes to coexist peacefully. The emperor's uncle is slowly
Expanding one's own power is a necessary action for a crown prince, otherwise one day... will the emperor's uncle be allowed to succeed alone? Looking at it from a glance, they are not his ministers, what can this Daliao expect? "
Kanazawa smiled bitterly, "The emperor also knows it, but power is tempting!"
"Look at the Tang Dynasty, the same is true. The emperor wished he could make the crown prince a fool and throw him in the East Palace to show off. The same is true for the Liao Dynasty."
"Shijun, be careful!" Kanazawa stood up and went out, looked around, came back and sat down.
"Your Majesty wants to use the Emperor's uncle, but he is also afraid of the Emperor's uncle. There will be no conflict between the two of them. So, where should you vent your anger? Isn't it on our heads?"
He Lianrong rarely complained, and then smiled bitterly, "I've lost my composure."
"Yang Dog's army is at your side, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, alas!"
"I'm not afraid of Yang Gou." He Lianrong said calmly: "If he attacks and we defend, how many lives will Chenzhou's army have to take? I'm glad to hear it!"
Jinze smiled and said: "The envoy is just waiting for the news of Yang Gou's return or a big defeat."
March south!
The news has been confirmed that Daliao will launch a southern expedition this year.
Before a war, there will be some outpost battles, such as the current battle of Chenzhou and Tanzhou.
Outpost battles are very useful in testing the opponent's strength, but for the huge Northern Liao Empire, what is more important is whether this battle can give a good start to the Southern Expedition.
He Lianrong knew this, and so did Jin Ze.
The envoy was also waiting to bring the good news back to Ningxing, but the emperor was so excited that he could not give him a reward.
Everyone wants to gain from this war.
"Go to the top of the city and have a look."
He Lianrong stood up and moved his body.
Xiao Manyan was on the top of the city, more than twenty steps away from the envoy.
This was a distance where each other could relax. The messenger and his followers would point outside from time to time, and occasionally be blown away by the wind and say a few words.
"The envoy is here."
He Lianrong came up, and Xiao Manyan led people to greet him.
"how?"
Xiao Manyan asked, nodding slightly to the messenger on the left.
Xiao Manyan said: "Yang Gou's scouts are fierce and have blocked our army."
"It was expected." He Lianrong asked, "How is he?"
Xiao Manyan glanced at the envoy and said, "He has been bragging for a long time, saying that if he leads the army, he will definitely defeat Yang Gou in an upright manner... set up a battle formation, have a big battle, and beat Yang Gou."
"What do you think?" He Lianrong was noncommittal.
"In a fair and upright battle, our army has a high chance of victory."
"It seems that you were defeated last time unwillingly."
"Yes, if it weren't for the ambush, our army would not have been defeated!"
To this day, Xiao Manyan still can't forget that ambush battle.
His eyes were slightly red, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.
"Be more calm." He Lianrong placed one hand on the top of the city and looked to the right, "How long can the Yanbei side hold on?"
"At least half a month." Xiao Manyan analyzed: "Four bed slaves can suppress the group of big men around Yang Gou. He can only choose ants to attack the city. Ants to attack the city... Pei Jiu died in Chang'an back then.
As Liaonan goes south, the ants attack the city."
Huang Chunhui stepped forward and led the Northern Xinjiang Army to block Beiliao's offensive.
That battle was a bloody one, and Daliao suffered heavy casualties.
He Lianrong asked: "If it happened again, would you still dare to attack the city with ants?"
Xiao Manyan stared into the distance blankly, slowly making fists with both hands.
"In another battle, I will be the first to climb to the top of Lin'an City!"
The envoy came over and handed over his hand, "It is said that the scout was blocked by Chenzhou's army. Is there any way to get the information?" He smiled apologetically, "No way, Ning Xing needs information, and His Majesty needs information."
When the envoy saw that he was a senior official, He Lianrong was also worried that he would say bad things about him when he went back, so he hurriedly explained: "The Chenzhou Army blocked the passage leading to the Yanbei line, which proves that a fierce battle is underway."
"I need to know the outcome." The messenger said, "This way, I can pass the news back."
Or use identity to suppress.
He Lianrong was a little disgusted, but he said sincerely: "Don't worry, envoy, Yanbei is not aggressive enough, but if it is stubborn enough, it will definitely make Yang Gou bang his head under the city and bleed him to death."
The messenger nodded, "That's a good thing. However, hearing is false and seeing is true, otherwise it will be difficult to write a memorial."
Han Hu's choice of words was a big taboo for the messenger. Once things changed, He Lianfeng could skin him.
The messenger made several hints, urging He Lianrong to open the passage to Yanbei, so as to at least get the battle situation under control.
He Lianrong said with a smile: "That's easy to say." Then, he said to Xiao Manyan: "Assemble the elite rangers to attack, and we must find out the news."
"Take orders!"
Xiao Manyan handed over his hand and was about to go down to the top of the city.
"look!"
The messenger pointed into the distance, "The scouts are back."
Many scouts have gone there in the past few days, but most of them came back with heavy casualties.
Xiao Manyan turned around and took a look, her eyes narrowed, "Be alert!"
The soldiers at the top of the city grasped their swords, spears and long bows.
Hundreds of cavalry Tanzhou troops were chasing dozens of Tang army scouts.
"It's a Tang Army scout!"
Xiao Manyan sneered, "This is a demonstration."
The messenger asked: "Why do you say that?"
This idiot... Xiao Manyan said: "If you were looking for information, you should go back now. But they kept coming down to the city. This is a demonstration."
"Eh!"
The messenger pointed at the leading Tang Army scout and asked, "Why is there so much smoke and dust behind that man's horse?"
"Didn't see clearly!"
He Lianrong said in confusion: "Could it be that you are dragging something?"
"The two sergeants behind that man...what are they carrying? They are bulging."
The messenger has good eyesight.
A sergeant's expression changed slightly, "It's Wang Laoer, and those two are his followers, who specialize in carrying human heads!"
"Headed Devil!"
When the envoy saw that the sergeants looked ugly, he asked, "Who is Mr. Wang?"
Xiao Manyan said: "The generals under Yang Gou are brave and obsessed with harvesting human heads."
"Morale has dropped." The messenger shook his head, "There are no warriors in Tanzhou?"
Wang Laoer and his men rushed to a place less than a mile away from the city and rode their horses to turn.
Dozens of horses turned in unison, their horses' hooves creating a puff of smoke on the ground.
A string of heads dragged behind Wang Laoer flew up.
He turned around and cut off the rope with a knife, and the heads flew over staggeringly, then fell heavily and slid towards Tanzhou City.
The pursuers behind him were in hot pursuit.
Wang Laoer shouted: "Throw it away!"
The two elders carried the bulging sacks and threw them away with all their strength.
The sack was open, and after it landed, heads were scattered everywhere.
Wang Laoer said distressedly: "My money! Let's go!"
The messenger's face was livid, "Isn't this an attack on the city? Why are there so many people?"
Xiao Manyan turned around and said, "Get ready to leave the city!"
Someone went to summon the cavalry.
The pursuers pursued him all the way.
"Fire the arrow!"
The ten or so Tang troops who were lagging behind turned around and fired arrows, shooting down seven or eight people.
The momentum of the pursuers stagnated.
Ta-ta-ta!
"Go to that person and kill him!" The messenger looked ugly.
At the same time, a shadow hangs over everyone's hearts.
Yanbei, what's wrong?
Xiao Manyan turned around and said, "Jinzhu!"
"Take orders!"
A general clad in armor responded loudly and rushed towards the city.
He stepped hard on the battlement, and the people flew away.
"Wang Lao Er!"
In mid-air, Jinzhu pulled out a long knife and pointed it at Wang Laoer.
Wang Laoer turned around and shouted: "What are you doing?"
"This is a fool!"
The messenger found it incredible, "Can a fool be a general?"
"It is said that this person is Yang Gou's confidant and has a brotherly relationship." He Lianrong said.
"I see."
The envoy came from Ningxing, and he was used to seeing people with connections, so he couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Maybe he could be captured alive? If possible, I will bring him back to Ningxing, so that during the southern expedition, I can have more heads to sacrifice to the flag."
"It's easy to say." Xiao Manyan said: "Wang Laoer is not very strong. A master from the Waxie tribe could put him in a dilemma of life and death."
"Okay!" The messenger was secretly happy.
Bringing a Tang army general back would be a good fortune for the emperor.
This trip was complete.
The messenger followed Jin Zhu's figure with a smile in his eyes and praised: "It's so fast!"
Jinzhu ran astonishingly, as fast as a horse, and he shouted: "Wang Laoer, do you dare to fight me? Yang Gou's wild dog, do you dare?"
Wang Laoer suddenly turned his horse's head.
"Second brother!"
The fat elder exclaimed, "Come back!"
This is under Tanzhou City!
Behind them are the pursuers. Once entangled, the city gate opens and the cavalry swarms out. Even if Ning Yayun comes, she can only wait for death.
"Second brother, come back!"
The thin elder shouted.
Wang Laoer said: "It's okay for him to humiliate me, but he shouldn't humiliate the husband. Wait!"
Seeing Wang Laoer turn around, Jin Zhu was worried that he would run away, so he shouted to the pursuers: "Stop!"
The pursuers reined in their horses and watched as the two men rushed toward each other.
At the top of the city, the messenger smiled, "It's so lively!"
Kanazawa smiled and said: "Kill him!"
He Lianrong beat the city wall, "Kill him!"
Whatever he was trying to capture alive was blown away by his momentum at this moment.
"Kill him!"
Countless soldiers at the top of the city shouted!
The pursuers shouted, "Kill him!"
Countless arms are raised high.
Jinzhu jumped up and stabbed his head.
He focused all his inner energy on this sword, and the wind of the sword roared, causing Wang Laoer's eyebrows to sting.
Wang Laoer also jumped up from his horse and brandished his sword in mid-air.
"Kill him!"
The messenger felt like he was in a casino, looking at the upcoming results with a red face.
The two long knives collided together.
Debris flies.
Wang Laoer fell off his horse, turned his horse's head, and rushed to the scout's side.
His right arm was always raised high.
"Walk!"
In the hand, the remaining half of the horizontal knife has uneven fractures.
Everyone looked at the golden beads that fell to the ground.
The pursuers are coming.
Jin Zhu's cheeks were trembling.
There was a bloody seam on his forehead.
The bloody seams gradually spread.
From the eyebrows down, through the nose, to the lips, chin, throat...
The clothes are torn.
Blood spurted out from his chest and abdomen.
Peng!
Jinzhu fell heavily to the ground.
It was quiet at the top of the city.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the raised arms.
Wang Laoer shook half of the horizontal knife crazily.
"Yeah, yeah, kill the enemy general!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Dozens of Tang army scouts shouted. There were not many people, but they shouted with the momentum of thousands of troops.
Wang Laoer stood up on his horse, raised his sword and shouted, "I am Chen Zhoujun..."
Everyone cheered.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The pursuers were so forced by their momentum that they forgot to pursue them.
At the top of the city, the envoy beat the battlements heavily and cursed: "Incompetent people! Incompetent people! You let a fool like Chen Zhoujun gain authority!"
Xiao Manyan held up his hand and said, "I am incompetent!"
Of course Zhijun was right, and he was the only one who was wrong.
"Open the door, attack, and strangle him!"
He Lianrong ordered.
The city gate is wide open.
Thousands of cavalry rushed out.
"Kill him!"
the messenger shouted.
As the envoy of Helianfeng, he witnessed the enemy's killing of his own general, which was a slap in Chi Guoguo's face.
Even more humiliating!
Wang Laoer fled with dozens of his subordinates.
"Where is your pride?"
The pursuers were shouting filial piety.
"Wang Laoer, don't you dare to look back."
hehe!
Wang Laoer turned around on horseback.
He was so angry that his pursuers were filled with smoke.
"Chase! Even if we chase him to Jiuyou Underworld, we have to kill him!"
At the top of the city, Xiao Manyan said: "This group of cavalry is just going to investigate the battle situation in Yanbei."
The messenger said with some melancholy: "Are you sure you can stay for half a month?"
"Of course it is possible."
Xiao Manyan said: "Yang Gou relied on those dozens of big men, but with the bed slave, not even the gods dared to match his sharpness, let alone the mortals!"
The messenger's face brightened slightly.
"Hey!" The discerning messenger suddenly pointed into the distance, "Why are the pursuers back?"
Xiao Manyan squinted his eyes and said after a while: "It's the pursuers. Is this...killing Wang Laoer?"
The messenger smiled and said: "If that's the case, it's not bad."
He just wants heads.
Ta-ta-ta!
The speed of the pursuers was frightening.
People can't help but think of Wang Laoer's speed before.
The speed of escape.
"This is..." The messenger looked at Xiao Manyan.
Xiao Manyan said: "I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to come back and report."
"Yang Gou is here!"
The pursuers who rushed to the city shouted.
In the distance, smoke and dust are billowing.
Groups of cavalry appeared on the horizon, with flags fluttering in the wind.
"Array up!"
Amidst the fierce shouts, the cavalry lined up in neat formation and came slowly.
Then came the infantry.
Peng Peng Peng!
Neat and heavy footsteps shook the earth.
In a house in the city, the man of the house listened intently and asked, "What is this sound?"
The wife said: "I'm afraid it's not thunder."
The male host shook his head and said, "This is not the sound of thunder."
The wife said: "Otherwise, Yang Gou is here?"
The male host smiled and said: "There has been no war in Tanzhou for almost twenty years. How dare Yang Gou come?"
Clang clang clang!
Alarm bells are ringing!
"alert!"
There was the rapid sound of horse hooves outside, followed by shouts.
"Everyone should go home and not go out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed carefully!"
The entire Tanzhou City was stunned for a moment.
then……
"It's Yang Gou who's here!"
"Oh my god! Quick, shutter!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
The sound of countless doors closing could be heard.
The whole city became quiet. Occasionally, a child would cry, but he would be silenced by adults.
Puff puff puff!
The whole world is filled with the sound of Chen Zhoujun's footsteps.
