Li Yun scanned the front and saw the archers looking at them eagerly. The front row had flat-ended longbows in a straight-shooting posture, while the rows behind raised their longbows and pointed their arrow clusters at the sky. There were more than 150 archers.
It attracts but does not send out, everyone's arms are all stable, it is really a deterrent.
He glanced at Wang Bao'er from the corner of his eye. Wang Bao'er shook his head slightly and stretched out his hand to press down.
Li Yun coughed twice and pointed at the prostrate Monk Aotunma.
Blood was pouring out from his neck, turning the horse's neck red. The horse felt uncomfortable and kept tapping on the ground with its four hooves, snoring.
"We went to Shangjing in compliance with the arrangements of Commander He Shilie. The person you killed was a Qianhu of Fuzhou, who had always been highly trusted by Commander He Shilie. Now that the Khitans have raised their troops, why are you still doing this?
If you do it, aren't you afraid of causing conflicts among your own family members and ruining the overall situation?"
"I know, this is Monk Otunma."
The officer named Pu Xianjian only sneered: "He Shi Liehuanduan's lackey will die as soon as he dies, so what will happen to him? You might as well guess whether he has the guts to fart loudly in front of my envoy!"
Good guy, this unreasonable look is really unruly.
"But..." Li Yun said blankly: "We are just here to sell horses. Envoy Pu Xian is going to fight with the Khitan army... What does it have to do with us?"
"What does it matter? You will know when you get to Xianping Mansion." Pu Xian pressed out his hand to hold the handle of the knife: "Don't delay. My family's envoy specially invited you, it is reasonable, and I ask you not to be ignorant of the compliment."
When discussing trade with Li Yun in the northeastern hinterland, Heshi Liehuan kept saying that he must bypass Xianping Prefecture where the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy Pu Xianwannu was located, because Pu Xianwannu was fierce and arrogant and full of thoughts.
Expanding one's own strength is just anti-thief material no matter how you look at it.
Heshi Liehuanduan gritted his teeth when he said it, and most of Li Yun and others were hesitant to believe it.
This is all because their own coach is a complete rebel. Therefore, when everyone first heard that there was such a rebellious figure in Liaodong who stared at the imperial banner, their first reaction was: This guy's ways are a little bit...
As handsome as we are...is he worthy?
However, by this moment, there is no doubt about it.
Pu Xianwannu, the envoy to Xuanfu in Liaodong, was truly an extremely violent and unruly man, and his subordinates acted wantonly without any scruples.
It's really similar to Guo Ning's behavior in Shandong.
That being the case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
For Ding Haijun, the interests in Liaodong lie in horses and furs, and in the soldiers that may be squeezed out. But what does the position of so many local forces have to do with Ding Haijun?
Heshi Liehuanduan believed that Pu Xianwannu was a rebel, so he was full of doubts about him. But this doubt had nothing to do with Ding Haijun. To put it bluntly, loyal ministers and rebels in the court cannot go together, and rebels and rebels
, can’t we talk about it?
Li Yun smiled: "It's okay to go to Xianping Mansion, but I have a condition."
"explain."
"The wheel hub of my big car is broken..."
"Just lose it."
Li Yun rubbed his hands: "But the goods in the car are valuable, so they can't be thrown away. If anything goes wrong, I can't explain it to my family."
Pu Xian's face darkened and he went to hold the handle of the knife again.
Li Yun seemed to have disappeared and sighed repeatedly: "This cart is filled with silk and medicinal materials. It is very valuable and cannot be broken into pieces."
"I'll leave fifty people to bring these goods back for you!" Pu Xian said angrily: "Come with me quickly! Don't delay any longer!"
Li Yun gestured with his hands: "Please!"
The group turned back to the main road and first went to Fengji County in Guizhou Province. The next day, they traveled 60 miles north to Xianping Prefecture.
Xianping Prefecture is also one of the important towns of Dajin in the Northeast. Because it is adjacent to Qinghe River in the south and Huanglonggang in the north, it is called "Huanglong in the north and Qinglong in the south."
In addition to the envoy's station, the Liaodong Road Transportation Department and the Tokyo Xianping Road Punishment Department were also stationed, with eight counties under it.
At the height of the Jin Dynasty, Xianping Prefecture had more than 56,000 registered households, which was more than Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo and Huining Prefecture in Shangjing. It was also richer than these two capitals, and was only slightly inferior to Dading Prefecture in Beijing.
Therefore, after several years of war, although many forces were divided among the three capitals, Pu Xianwannu, who controlled Xianping Road, was obviously the strongest among all parties. Even the emperor was forced to recognize his influence and grant him the title of
The duties of the Liaodong Xuanfu Envoy.
Li Yun originally thought that when he arrived at Xianping Mansion, he would be received by Pu Xianwannu, but he never thought that when he was at the gate of the city, another garrison suddenly came to check.
This was a group of cavalry, numbering no less than three hundred. The horses roared like thunder as they galloped along the outside of the city wall. Wang Bao'er immediately ordered his subordinates to shrink their ranks and merge into a vigilant posture.
Looking ahead, Pu Xian's face was livid. He waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed out and said loudly: "You are here for Meng'an!"
The cavalry galloping over ignored him. It seemed that Pu Xian thought that although he looked fierce outside, his status in Xianping Prefecture was actually very ordinary.
"Who are these people?"
Leading the cavalry was a young and tall officer. He raised the riding crop in his hand and deliberately did not look at Pu Xian when he pushed it out. He only shouted at the subordinates who were pushed out by Pu Xian.
"This is the Qun Mu Envoy Judge from Shandong! Accompanying him is a caravan from Shandong!"
"Officials from Shandong, caravans from Shandong?" the cavalry officer sneered: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Shandong people to march in groups in my Xianping mansion. Let them all disarm, remove their swords, bows and arrows
, and then you can enter the city!"
"Pu Xian Lie Lin! This is the guest that the envoy wants to see!" Pu Xian shouted angrily.
The tall officer who was called Pu Xianlie's neighbor also shouted: "Do you know who gave me the task of taking charge of Xianping City Defense?"
Pu Xian pressed the button and felt frustrated for a moment.
In the past day, Li Yun followed Pu Xian on his way out and took the time to inquire about the local retinues he had recruited in Shenzhou, Chengzhou and other places. Only then did he discover that Pu Xian Wannu's governance method on Xianping Road was completely different from that of the Great Jin Kingdom.
Following the Song Dynasty, the Liao system was quite different.
He did not use the formal military titles of the imperial court at all. Instead, he adopted all the brave generals and generals under his command as adopted sons. They were all given the surname Pu Xian and regarded as blood relatives. There were eleven such adopted sons, and each of them had subordinates.
Each is in charge of a Meng'an, and they are called according to the names of their adopted sons.
This system is not only not the system of the Jin Dynasty, nor the Liao Dynasty, but more like the customs of the Bohai people, Shiwei people or Wanggu people before the founding of the Jin Dynasty, or in the early years, which completely used tribalism to cover the normal military and political system.
.However, this originally backward system, placed in the chaotic hinterland of Northeast China, has gained considerable appeal because of its barbarity.
In the past few years, small tribes from various parts of the Northeast have continued to seek refuge with Pu Xian Wan Nu, and Pu Xian Wan Nu placed them under Shi Yi Meng'an and used their teachings to defeat them. In this way, Eleven Meng An
The size of the population is expanding rapidly, and the entire Xianping Road can mobilize more troops than when the situation in Northeast China is stable.
However, the shortcomings of such a system are also obvious. Pu Xianwannu does not rely on the court for his own actions, and the Shiyi Meng'an under his command does not seem to have many rules.
Pu Xian, who led archers to intercept Li Yun and others yesterday, was ranked ninth among the adopted sons. He was obviously acting on the orders of Pu Xianwannu, but Pu Xian Lielin, who was ranked eleventh among the adopted sons, suddenly
Showing up is a clear provocation.
At this time, Jian Chu and Lie Lin were arguing with each other in front of the city gate.
A cavalry officer under Lie Lin's command, probably seeing that his leader could not suppress his words, suddenly galloped towards Li Yun and others, shouting loudly, and rushed towards Li Yun and others.
The cavalryman was wearing armor, and he took out a scimitar from his waist and waved it repeatedly. As he ran, the light of the sword flashed, and the armor's cold light gave him a formidable momentum.
Li Yun sneered.
He has seen many such things to scare people, and this little trick is ridiculous. If he doesn't respond, I'm afraid Pu Xianwannu will underestimate Laizhou Ding Haijun and really think that Ding Haijun is easy to handle.
As for the method of response... what impressed Li Yun the most was Ding Haijun's actions in Zhigu Village that day.
The knights kept approaching, and their horses ran back and forth in front of the caravan. They kept shouting and making provocative sounds to everyone. This guy's riding skills were really good. Sometimes he would jump off the saddle and gallop on the ground for a few steps.
Then he jumped on the horse; sometimes he would stand on the saddle, waving his sword in various mighty postures. Following his movements, the Jurchens watching on both sides of the city gate cheered, and some people ran out of the city gate hole, running,
While boasting and praising.
Li Yun nodded to Wang Bao'er.
When the cavalry general approached again, Wang Bao'er suddenly rushed out on horseback and swung his sword across.
It was too fast and I was caught off guard.
Blood burst out and the head flew up.
The arrogant face soared in the air and shouted twice before falling to the ground. The body with blood spurting from its neck was still riding steadily on the horse and was taken away by the horse.
Wang Bao'er sheathed the sword with satisfaction.
His skill is naturally outstanding, otherwise he would not have been chosen to work in Liaodong. The time he was besieged by the Yellow-headed Jurchen before, he was really outnumbered. Now he has a long knife in his hand and is riding fast.
Finally let him have a good performance.
Among the Jurchens who were cheering around, some stopped in shock, while others exclaimed and let out long screams.
