Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 608
And like the situation where the imperial driver was besieged tonight, if the emperor could personally command the guards of the forbidden army, the guards of the forbidden army at the foot of the mountain would not be defeated so badly, but... at this time in the night mountain, even if there is a bright moon hanging high , Up and down the mountain, although simple information can be transmitted with loud arrows, it will take a very long time to transmit specific orders.Not to mention personally directing.

An eunuch behind Zhao Kuangyin raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl, which shocked almost all the ministers and eunuch guards. With the long howl, the eunuch's aura grew.A gust of wind blew up on the top of the mountain, and the sand and rocks moved slightly!

The Ouchi guards guarding the emperor were startled, and at such a sensitive moment, they took defensive actions one after another.It was only seeing that His Majesty was indifferent, so there was no change.

"Hold on, Your Majesty, Hai Dongqing will pass on the news immediately." The eunuch said suddenly after a long whistle, neither humble nor overbearing, his voice was clear and clear, without the respect that ordinary ministers had when facing the emperor, let alone the groveling that eunuchs should have.

Zhao Kuangyin turned around and glanced at the eunuch, and said, "Today, my safety is in the hands of Bai Qing."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, there seemed to be no minister surnamed Bai in Chaozhong, but then they thought of someone, their expressions changed slightly, and their bodies instinctively distanced themselves from the eunuch.

Of course, the seven chief envoys of the Huaxia Weifu and the civil and military officials are most afraid of Li Junhao, the supervisory envoy, but what frightens them the most is the assassination of the envoy Bai Canghai.Because he has a hundred killers under his command.Among them, there are even more than half of the first-class killers.With such power, there are only a handful of people in the world who can survive if they want to kill.

Only a few people including Shen Yilun discovered that 100 of the 100 inner guards at Yuhuangding had obviously different temperaments and expressions from the other [-]. The indifference and coldness in their expressions was shocking.

Sure enough, after four or five breaths, a black shadow under the moonlight flew from the foot of the mountain like an arrow, rushing towards the crowd.

Several civil officials couldn't help but exclaimed, and some even yelled for escort.Zhao Kuangyin obviously knew what the flying black shadow was, so he was unmoved, but curious.

The black shadow flew onto Bai Canghai's shoulder and landed, looking forward to his own glory, his sharp eyes made people startled, everyone saw clearly that it was an extremely handsome eagle, but upon closer inspection, they found that the eagle was It is very different from ordinary eagles.And there is a thin copper tube tied to the bird's leg, and Bai Canghai is opening the copper tube to extract a note from it.

Lu Duoxun was the calmest person on the scene besides the emperor, because he knew many things that others did not know, including His Majesty's plan to lure snakes out this time. In fact, Zhao Pu's dismissal three months ago was actually Zhao Kuangyin's subordinate. He issued a secret decree and asked him to cooperate with Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi.Otherwise, how could he jump two ranks in a row to become a political adviser.

At this time, Lu Duoxun couldn't help but said: "There is a record in "Compendium of Materia Medica x {2022} Poultry Department" that 'the most handsome ones carved out of Liaodong are called Haidongqing." Could this bird be the legendary sea dongqing."

Zhao Kuangyin took the note from Bai Canghai, and said, "That's right, this bird is indeed Haidongqing, the highest totem of the Jurchen clan, known as the highest and fastest bird in the world, and also known as the "God of Eagles." The meaning of ". Hmm... This sea dongqing was given to Ye Chen by Princess Yongqing at that time. As far as I know, it has made great contributions in inquiring and passing news and tracking the enemy in the Huaxia Weifu. This can also be regarded as Yongqing This girl's credit."

"Sure enough, it's Pan Mei's five thousand longbowmen..." Zhao Kuangyin had read the note in his hand at this time, and suddenly sneered, "I wanted to wipe out the two thousand imperial troops. thief."

A moment later, Shen Yilun, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council who had been closely watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, it's a little strange. The rebels seem to have retreated."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned.After a long while, she said faintly: "Pan Mei, or how many people did the holy hall bring here? She dared to seal the whole mountain and not let anyone out. My second brother Guangyi... has a big appetite That’s right, the more people come to the temple, the more I will use my personal risk as a bait to lure these thieves to appear.”

When the rebel army was in full swing, they retreated temporarily to give the forbidden army some breathing space. The officials on the top of the mountain, including the military officer Shen Yilun and Bai Canghai, were a little confused.But only Zhao Kuangyin and Bai Zixuan, the bodyguard still hiding in the palace, can clearly judge the intention of the rebels... to give the imperial army a chance to regroup.The fear is that the war between the two sides will end up in chaos, and some people will be left out of this big net.The rebels at the foot of the mountain...are actually planning to prevent anyone from escaping from Yuhuangding and report to the Zhongxiang Army in the prefectures and counties in the four fields!But they obviously ignored the existence of Huaxia Weifu Haidongqing, or they were not afraid of Haidongqing's report.

At this moment, the little eunuch Xin Shi came back from the stone steps and whispered something in Zhao Kuangyin's ear.Zhao Kuangyin's face gradually darkened.

Shen Yilun and Lu Duoxun were the closest to Zhao Kuangyin, and only after listening to Xin Shi's words did they know.When the first warning arrow was raised, Xin Shi had already arranged for the Ouchi guards to break out of the siege, but at this time, he was rewarded, and all [-] Ouchi masters who broke through the siege were all dead, confirming that the breakout had failed.

With Bai Canghai's hearing ability, he naturally listened to Xin Shi's words, and he also knew that the twenty masters sent by His Majesty Xin Shi were not low in strength, and ten of them even reached the level of first-class masters, and they were good at They sneaked in at night, but these people broke through at night, all ended in failure, and none of them could come back alive.How many masters did the church send out?Including Bai Canghai and Zhao Kuangyin, they all thought of this, and felt a little worried at the same time.The more masters and people the Holy Church sends out, if this plan is successful, the Holy Church will be severely injured in terms of force alone, and it will be difficult to achieve major events later.But as I said before, if you lure the snakes out, if you lure out too many snakes and are too powerful to kill them, what will you do if you are bitten by the snakes instead?

Also, is Yufeng, the great elder of the temple, here?

"Send a letter to Cao Wei, follow the plan, tell him that Xu Fangyi is a traitor, and tell him to be careful." Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said.

Bai Canghai bowed and said yes, then quickly took out a pencil and a note and wrote a sentence, put it in the copper tube on Hai Dongqing's lap, sealed it, and whispered in Hai Dongqing's ear, Hai Dongqing Qing soared into the sky, flew towards a place behind the Jade Emperor Peak, and soon disappeared.

The night wind rose again on the top of the mountain.The small boat on the sea in the distance is still as far away as it is near, the sound of fighting at the foot of the mountain is gradually subsiding, the moonlight shines on the mountain forest, but it can't wipe away the darkness in the mountain forest, I don't know how many hidden murderous intentions are waiting on the top of the mountain these people.

At this moment, the civil and military officials who followed His Majesty on his westward tour to offer sacrifices to heaven could vaguely understand that the scene in front of him seemed to have been expected by His Majesty, and it was a deliberate move by His Majesty.Knowing this, these ministers who were terrified in their hearts breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Kuangyin's words immediately raised their hearts again.

"My trip to the west to worship the heavens was originally to lure the snake out. Because I don't want to wait any longer. If the king of Jin has the intention of rebellion and secretly colludes with the temple, it will be a serious problem for my confidant in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the plan to lure the snake this time If it succeeds, my Great Song Dynasty will no longer have internal worries, and I will wholeheartedly point my sword to the north. But now it seems that it has become a gamble, because neither I nor Ye Chen thought that Xu Fangyi was the man of King Jin, and Xu Fangyi was the intelligence of the Huaxia Weifu. Si Sishi, some of my arrangements may not be able to hide the eyes of the traitors, for example, I have hidden [-] troops on the top of the Jade Emperor."

At the foot of Yuhuangding Mountain, Zhao Guangyi, Xu Fangyi and Pan Mei were riding on horseback, looking at the top of the mountain.

"Don't worry, both of you, as long as today's affairs are completed, the positions of the Chief Envoy of the Privy Council and the Chief Envoy of the Huaxia Weifu will be yours." Zhao Guangyi said confidently.

Pan Mei and Xu Fangyi didn't dare to neglect, they immediately bowed and cupped their fists and said in unison: "Thank you, my lord, I swear to be loyal to my lord."

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, Pan Mei glanced at Xu Fangyi, and said, "It's just that Cao Wei led 1 people to hide in the back mountain of Jade Emperor Peak. I wonder if Master Xu's arrangement will be foolproof."

Xu Fangyi said: "Don't worry, General Pan. After I got the news that Cao Wei was hiding soldiers at the top of the Jade Emperor, I reported it to the lord. The lord personally arranged for dead soldiers to mix in with Cao Wei's personal soldiers. And the specific task of ambush is only Cao Wei. Wei is the only one who knows, so as long as Cao Wei is killed at the critical moment, the [-] ambush soldiers will have no leader, and nothing will be accomplished at all."

Under the cliff at the back of Jade Emperor Peak, there is a very secret mountain stream, if you don't search carefully, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.

It took two months, and the [-] forbidden soldiers came here in batches, dressed as pilgrims, tourists and hunters who entered the mountain, and came to this valley.A large amount of armor, weapons, and food and grass have long been stored in the valley.

It was Cao Wei who led the ten thousand forbidden troops.The shouts of killing and the sound of arrows in front of Yuhuangding Mountain could not be heard in the mountain stream, but Cao Wei knew that today was the day for His Majesty to sacrifice to heaven, so he ordered to go down early to eat and drink, get ready to go, and just wait His Majesty's order came.

Hai Dongqing arrived smoothly, Cao Wei took out a note from the copper tube, unfolded it, and saw that it read: Bandit soldiers have arrived, according to the plan, surround and kill the bandits from both sides.In addition, Xu Fangyi has already rebelled, so be careful of traitors and assassins mixed in with him.

Cao Wei quickly read the contents of the note, his face remained calm, turned around and glanced at the five hundred soldiers around him, and soon found that five of them had messy leggings, but the faces of the five were indeed his own The personal soldier was right, but then he remembered that Ye Chen had told him about the magic of disguise in Jianghu, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and at the same time he was applauding the danger, he had already made a plan.

Cao Wei, like his father Cao Bin, is extremely strict with the army, especially for the soldiers around him. The quality of leggings directly affects the marching and fighting, and it is the most important thing. If the leggings of the recruits or second-rate troops are not good enough It is a common thing, but it is absolutely impossible for this phenomenon to happen among Cao Wei's personal soldiers.
