Chapter 390 Assassination, Black Armored Cavalry(1/2)
It’s the Chinese New Year, but the big guys on Guangnan West Road have no time to eat and drink.
As a border area of the Song Dynasty, Guangnan West Road specially set up a pacification envoy.
The pacifier was probably the same as the ranks of officials from later generations, and they held great power and ruled the civil and military.
But at this moment, this right made Xiao Gu feel a little numb.
The fortune teller Song Cheng said calmly: "The generals of Xipingzhou are a little ready to move and are still recruiting soldiers and horses everywhere..."
The Li Shizhong, the prisoner of the imperial prison, cursed: "Those generals of the cave are all ungrateful wolves, and the food and grass they transported every year are vain. As soon as the Jiaozhi people clamored, they began to respond."
Commander Wang Lun asked carefully: "Why... suppress?"
Xiao Gu glanced at him, and Wang Lun immediately stood up, not daring to show his might.
This is the power of the comforting envoy. If he wants to move the King Wheel, the King Wheel will have to close his eyes and wait for death.
Seeing that he was tactful, Xiao Gu said, "The report is already on the road, but when the court decides too slowly... I am afraid that those generals will start to make trouble. People's hearts! Never satisfied. Those people don't know the power of the Song Dynasty, so they want to take the opportunity to make trouble and send people to find out."
Wang Lun agreed loudly and went out to make arrangements.
The three of them felt a little relieved. Mr. Li asked someone to brew tea and everyone sat down and savored the tea slowly.
"Good tea! This is the group tea sent from Bianliang."
Xiao Gu put down the teacup and said with satisfaction: "After Li Rizun came up, the Jiaozhi people frequently crossed the border and robbed, and were insatiable. Now, you can hear the news that the Jiaozhi people crossed the border almost every day, which shows that they are unscrupulous."
"Yes! Those jack-toe people are crazy."
Song Cheng said in a tangled manner: "Song Shiyao said that he should be careful of the Jiaozhi people raiding, and it is best to send scouts to Jiaozhi to investigate."
"I'm afraid I'm going but not going back."
Xiao Gu pondered: "There are many miasma and only the people of Jiaozhi can move calmly. The scouts have little effect. Now the most important thing is to cause trouble in Xipingzhou. Let's deal with it first."
Then there was a tug-of-war between the generals of Xipingzhou. The last time the generals of Dong were attacked by the Jiaozhi people, Song Shiyao took people to rescue him. However, when Song Shiyao went there again, he was turned away.
This is a determined intention to cause trouble.
Song Shiyao strongly suggested taking action, saying that he would take action first and take down the generals of the cave to shock the Jiaozhi people.
Xiao Gu hesitated.
Once he takes action, he is worried that it will cause turmoil on Guangnan West Road.
The generals and natives would be in a panic and think that the Song Dynasty would attack them. In that case, the Jiaozhi people would be useless and Guangnan West Road would be in chaos.
As the appeaser of Guangnan West Road, he was extremely powerful, but now this power has become a shackle.
He didn't dare to make a decision easily, and he was thinking about every move.
As the days passed by, the generals of the cave became more and more riotous and even began to rob.
"All thieves!"
Xiao Gu was furious and summoned everyone to discuss matters and advocated suppression.
"Press down! Capture the general led by Dong and send him to Bianliang!"
The order was issued, and Song Shiyao and others began to reorganize their arms and prepare for war.
Guangnan West Road was originally a bit lazy, and its military equipment was also lazy, like a pustule. It was not until the pustule was broken by Nong Zhigao that the Song Dynasty began to pay attention to the defensive power here.
Xiongluo Army is an imperial guard, plus various wing troops, which together are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Yongzhou is the strategic center of Guangnan West Road and serves as the defense center in the direction of Jiaozhi.
The shouts of killing in Xuanhua City were shaking the sky, and Xiao Gu sent an order to no longer restrict the entry and exit of natives, so the news gradually leaked.
"This is a shock to the tiger."
Standing on the top of the city, Xiao Gu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance and said confidently: "If the generals of Xipingzhou are smart, they should tie themselves up and apologize, otherwise... these tiger and wolf soldiers will be bloody!"
Song Shiyao stood behind him, his eyes filled with melancholy.
Song Cheng had a good impression of him and said, "Do you have something to say? The comforting envoy is here, so you can tell me."
Song Shiyao said: "The generals of Xipingzhou...the officials were afraid that they would collude with the Jiaozhi people. If this were the case, it would be difficult."
Xiao Gu shook his head and said, "I don't learn anything!"
Song Shiyao immediately bowed his head and apologized.
Xiao Gu turned around and said, "What can those generals... Jiaozhi give them? Just give them some money and food, but in which year the Song Dynasty did not give them money and food? Moreover, the Song Dynasty is very gentle to them, and the Jiaozhi people may not be sure. As long as they are not stupid, they will naturally not collude with the Jiaozhi people."
Song Shiyao was solemn, but he always felt uneasy.
"Three riders come from afar!"
Someone shouted at the top of the city, "They are galloping..."
This was the panic after a long-lost battle. Xiao Gu looked at the three riders and said, "What are you panic? Ask someone to pick you up."
The three of them were brought up later.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Gu's body was a little stiff and his face was full of wood.
"The pacifier will surrender to Xipingzhoudong in the future."
In an instant, Xiao Gu's body relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "How many people?"
The person who came was a sergeant, he lowered his head and said, "More than thirty people."
Song Shiyao relaxed a little, and Xiao Gu said, "It's so good that people can clean up the wine and food. If it's easy to talk to, I'll give it to them."
There was a little bit of arrogance in this sentence.
Everything about the Song Dynasty is a high-end enjoyment here, and the latest popular stir-fry in the Song Dynasty has also been passed down here. Although it is not very authentic, it still makes people salivate.
After a few more than thirty cavalry appeared, and Song Shiyao said enviously: "Although those horses are not very good, they can run at least!"
The rich Dong would spend money to buy horses, and then he would have a cavalry advantage in the battle for territory.
After the more than thirty cavalry entered the city, a team of soldiers monitored them until they dismounted and then relaxed a little.
Xiao Gu personally got off the city, and the leader of the cave hurriedly knelt down and then muttered a lot.
"It was said that it was a battle for territory, either rebellion or wanted some food and supplies to defeat the opponent."
"This time I came to surrender... No, I said I was here to ask for help. I wanted to ask the Song Dynasty to make the decision and get the lost territory back..."
Xiao Gu felt relieved and smiled, "This is the case... it's just that Da Song is not easy to interfere in the matter between them. He is so rude, but he doesn't interfere too much. If he interferes too much, they will definitely make trouble from now on, so..."
After the Dong general led his troops to kneel down, the soldiers next to him also relaxed and felt that this battle could not be fought.
At this moment, the general of the cave reached out and touched it in his arms, and the person also bounced up from the ground and rushed directly to Xiao Gu.
In the air, there was a hint of cold light on the hands of the general Dong, which turned out to be a short blade.
Xiao Gu did not react. His heart was cold. He just stared at Dong General, but his body did not respond.
Most of the people present did not respond. Xiao Gu sighed in his heart and knew that he was dead today.
This cave general is clearly here to assassinate...
After assassinating Xiao Gu, there was no one who could dominate Guangnan West Road, and then it was in chaos.
He regretted his underestimation and was about to close his eyes.
A figure rushed over from behind.
"kill!"
Song Shiyao had no time to draw his sword, so he pounced on him, and was actually preparing to use his body to block the short sword.
When the Dong general saw him rushing over, he waved his hand hard, then landed on the ground, turned around and ran away.
The short knife flew over, and Xiao Gu was shocked. At this time, Song Shiyao had already come up. He grabbed Xiao Gu's arm and pushed it hard.
The short knife wiped Xiao Gu's arm and inserted it into Song Shiyao's shoulder.
This series of actions was filled with hares and falcons. When everyone reacted, the general of the cave had already set off under the escort of two tough men.
"Kill him!"
Song Cheng held Song Shiyao and shouted with a pale face.
But the more than thirty people did not escape, but rushed over with all their might.
There were more than 300 Song troops here, and there were bows and arrows. The impact of these natives was suicide.
But under their desperate attack, the general of the cave took the opportunity to lead the two out of Xuanhua City.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The laughter of the general from Dong came, and Xiao Gu said angrily: "Let the doctor treat Song Shiyao's injuries. If it cannot be cured... I will take his life!"
He rushed to the city regardless of his image and looked at the three riders who were moving away panting.
"Is it so cunning, can I chase after me?"
Mr. Li was also very annoyed, but at least Xiao Gu was fine, which was a false alarm.
