The Light, The Sword

Chapter 129: emperor

Views:

Jin Wushu looked at the scene in front of him. It was because he believed that he was used to seeing big winds and waves in his life. He had already had thousands of ideas about the battles that Song Jun could put up at the time of the peace talks. Can't help but start to froze slightly.

There is no imaginary army, or even a guard of honor. Just between the green mountains and green waters, a bamboo coffee table is lightly set up, and a faint smoke on the red mud stove, in the morning in the mountains. A faint fragrance of tea came from the mist.

A man with a headband and a golden crown, dressed in a plain gown, was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table. He stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the tea stove and the faint rising smoke seemed to just cover his face. People can't see his looks clearly, but he can feel the concentration of his face.

Jin Wushu took a deep breath, calmed down the doubts in his heart, and walked slowly towards the direction of the coffee table. The man waited until he came closer, then raised his head, pointed at the small chair opposite the coffee table and smiled faintly: "Come? Please sit down!"

When he was silent just now, he felt as if he had melted into the faint mountain atmosphere, between the heavens and the nature. Even if he walked closer, he always gave people a sense of illusion and unreality, making people unable to see their faces at all. , However, this opening speech makes people feel that this landscape has become his foil, for a while, it seems like clouds are breaking through the sky, but it is as if the whole world is lighted up by itself. .

Even the iron cavalry guards, who had never bowed their heads to others except for Jinwushu, suddenly had an impulse to bow their heads to this man.

Jin Wushu looked at the face of this smiling and indifferent man. Suddenly, many memories overlapped with each other. He couldn't help but blurt out, "It's you?! So it's you?!"

His eyes were fixed on the face of the middle-aged man, and an incredible expression flashed across him, and he was so stunned for a while, forgetting to pay attention to the man's greeting.

Even the few guards next to him felt that there was something wrong with his coach. They stepped forward and were about to start reminding, but Jin Wushu finally recovered, looking at the middle-aged man, suddenly looking up to the sky for a while. Laughing, kicked away the bamboo table next to a few cases, and sat down with his legs crossed across from the man, just like he was under the roots of a big tree between the white mountains and the black water.

Zhao Kuangyin's reaction to Jin Wushu didn't feel surprised at all. He just raised his hand and gently poured a cup of fragrant tea into the small tea cup in front of him, and gently pushed it in front of Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu picked up the tea cup and sniffed it. The cup was poured into his mouth at once, but his brows were frowning, he finally reluctantly swallowed it, and shook his head at Zhao Kuangyin who was sitting across from him and said, "It's so bitter! "

He stretched out his hand to untie the wine pouch around his waist, threw it to Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "We Jurchens like to drink this."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed dumbly, and took the skin pouch with his hand, unplugged the cork, raised his neck like this, and drank the mare kumiss in the pouch all at once, and then he threw the empty skin back to Jin Wushu. Haha laughed and said: "How come the marshal's Tibetan wine seems to be mixed with water, it's not happy at all!"

Jin Wushu opened his mouth wide and turned the empty skin upside down and shook it several times before he was convinced that there was no more dripping left. He said bitterly, "This battle has been fought for a few months. How can I keep it without water? I don’t know how hard I endured to save myself so much, you actually drank it clean in one gulp.”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh at the same time.

The four Jin Wushu's guards next to them were confused by the current situation of the two people in front of them, and they all looked at each other.

Originally, they followed Jin Wushu to participate in this negotiation and peace talks with the emperor of the Song Kingdom. They had already stored their mortal thoughts. Originally, in their expectations, they had already expected that the front was bound to be the sea of swords and flames, and the tiger’s den Longtan. Before setting off, he had already rehearsed countless times when he arrived at the place of negotiation and discussion, and after seeing the emperor of the Song Kingdom and the main force of the Song Army, he had to act.

Including who is going to break out to attract attention, who is defending and fighting for as much time as possible, and who is igniting the pyrotechnics in the shortest time, naturally they have already made up their minds, and they must do everything possible under the premise of doing all this. Blocked in front of Jin Wushu, even if their marshal came to negotiate with the southern kingdom in person this time, it would be a lifetime of nine deaths, and it is unlikely that they would return in their entirety. However, no matter what, even if it is death, they will never allow themselves to die. In front of his own handsome.

But the scene in front of them was hundreds of times more weird than any of their previous imaginations.

They never dreamed that without the sword rain and the main force of the Song army, there would be only one person in the Song state, and a pot of tea, just waiting here.

And their boss, who has always been unsmiling, is drinking and laughing with him like this, as if he had known a good friend for so many years.

This situation makes them almost suspect that they are in a dream for a while.

After a long while, Zhao Kuangyin slowly stopped his laugh, looked at Jin Wushu, and said lightly: "Now that the peace talks are about to be completed, the marshal will naturally be able to leave here peacefully soon. When the time comes, he will sing intoxicated and drink a swig, but it is not yet It's too late."

Jin Wushu’s expression has also since returned to the original appearance of Gujing Bubo. The tiger’s eyes glowed, and Zhao Kuangyin looked at each other for a while, but he shook his head and laughed: "If you change before today, someone told me The emperor of the Southern Kingdom who was picked up by me and chased all the way into the sea is actually the invincible commander of the gods, even if it kills my head, I will not believe it."

He stared at Zhao Kuangyin, a thoughtful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I really don't understand, what kind of person are you?"

……

Wan Yanyong turned over and got off his horse, walked slowly to Xin Qiji, took the Heshu he had taken out, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He knows the contents and authenticity of the peace book without checking it. After all, this peace book was originally signed by him and Xin Qiji in a secret agreement, but now Xin Qiji took out the peace book, in addition to his own seal, He also affixed the seal of the commander-in-chief of Song State.

The two commanders issued a seal and exchanged a letter of agreement, and the agreement of the peace talks was considered to be a formal alliance, but the current situation, compared with the previous ones, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the army, it’s no better than the court. If it is still the normal practice, the tiger rune seal letter is unique. Even if Wan Yan Yong is a deputy commander, he can only use his personal seal, but the current Dai Jin Emperor Wan Yan Xi wants to make Wan Yan Yong true. Being able to seize the opportunity to take Jin Wushu and replace it at the right time is also to allow Wanyan Yong to stand on the opposite side of Jin Wushu, but it is ingenious to set up the position of deputy commander supervising the army, and Wanyan Yong is also in his hands. Holds the power to use Tiger Symbol Seal Letter.

On that day, he only wanted to make peace with Song Guo first, and then, through the idea of the survivor of the camp, forcing Jin Wushu to submit to it, not only was it not a blemish to make peace with Song Guo first, but he had to borrow it by himself. This is an opportunity to become the savior of the whole army.

However, Jin Wushu's reaction was quite different from what he had expected. Although Jin Wushu's move allowed him to be temporarily recognized by the generals, but he also pushed himself to the cusp of the storm.

I am the deputy commander of the army supervising the emperor, with a special status close to the royal family, and Jin Wushu’s face-to-face instructions, and I am quite affectionate with most of the generals in the army, as long as he stays in the whole team. After returning to the country and the situation stabilized, it was not difficult to secure one's position as commander in a short time.

However, at this time, the whole army is still under the siege of the Song army. The lives of hundreds of thousands of troops are unclear. It can be said that people's hearts are floating. And now Jin Wushu is alone in danger. At this time, there is such a peace agreement. I really don’t know what this is about. What would Jin Wushu's loyal generals think

Xin Qiji saw that his face was cloudy and sunny, and smiled softly: "Deputy commander, how about it? Is there a result?"

Wan Yan Yong sighed, looked back at Xin Qiji, and said faintly: "Where is our commander showing up?"

Xin Qiji squinted slightly, looking at Wan Yan Yong, with a smile on his face, and said: "The commander is now negotiating with my emperor official. If it is the deputy...

"This handsome just wants to know," Wan Yanyong looked directly at Xin Qiji and said, "When will our commander return safely?!"

Xin Qiji couldn't help being stunned. After staring at Yan Yong for a while, there was a faint feeling in his eyes, and he nodded slowly and said, "I can guarantee my life. The handsome Wanyan will be able to calm down for a moment. return!"

Wan Yan Yong smiled faintly, and Hu Er raised his voice and said: "The commander asked Song Envoy to come here first with the peace book, but I don't know what it means?!"

……

Zhao Kuangyin smiled freely, and Weipin took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand. Then he faintly replied: "The Marshal has been in the army since he was a child and has been conquering the battlefield for decades, but he still doesn't understand the simplest truth!"

He looked at Jin Wushu and said: "Soldiers, tricks too! On the battlefield, all people and things are constantly changing and circulating. If the marshal still just sticks to his prejudices, it is better to unload as soon as possible. Jia returns to Tian, and it's a happy one!"

He whispered like an old friend chatting, but his tone of voice is not polite. The four guards beside Jin Wushu have been fearful and loyal to Jin Wushu over the past few decades, and they are deeply rooted. Zhao Kuangyin was frightened by his aura, did not dared to draw his sword to face each other, but couldn't help but step forward, glaring at him, and the atmosphere was quite frozen for a while.

Jin Wushu waved his hand and told the guards to retreat. Then he sighed: "You are right! This handsome is indeed wrong! What a terrible mistake!"

He turned his head to face the morning mist in the mountains, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I remember you Han Chinese have the so-called allusions about the so-called low salary, ten years of living together, ten years of lessons, but compared to you, it is nothing like a shit!"

He looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "This time I was defeated by yours. This handsome man is convinced. However, I really can't understand. For more than ten years, you have tolerated such a situation. What is it for?!"

Although he had never seen the southern emperor with his own eyes, but when he marched southward and stepped on the south of the Yangtze River, the portraits of the southern emperor had been seen thousands of times, and he was already familiar with the portraits of the southern emperors. chest.

When the Jurchens first sent their troops to the south, it was originally due to the prosperous state of the Song Dynasty when they met on the same day to attack the Song Dynasty. All the Jurchens who have met were impressed by themselves, so they hoped to be able to greatly increase it. Looting is nothing more than getting more property. After all, the Jurchen clan has just emerged from the white mountains and black waters to establish a country.

However, after they easily breached the Song Dynasty’s Bianjing and almost wiped out the Song royal family, their appetites quickly swelled. When Jin Wushu lifted a brigade straight into the south of the Yangtze River, they had already saved a move. Destroying the Song Dynasty, the idea of incorporating this country with money and wealth in their eyes into one's own pockets in one fell swoop.

Although Bianjing had already been breached at that time, the only escaped Yukang King Zhao Gou who had escaped the net at that time was supported by Jiangnan scholars, soldiers and civilians. He became emperor and continued Song Zuo. Song people had never been as they expected. Because Bianjing was broken, the emperor was captured and the hearts of the people were separated. Instead, they gathered more unitedly under Zhao Gou's banner. Jin Wushu went all the way, and the resistance he encountered gradually increased from the initial sporadic weakness. This It also allowed them to understand the heart of the Southern people, and understand that if they really want to incorporate the Southern Song Dynasty into the Jurchen territory, then it would be better to kill one hundred or one thousand cities than the royal blood of the Song Dynasty. important.

Therefore, when Jin Wushu went south, he was like a broken bamboo, but even if he broke through the city, at most it was nothing more than a horse raid. He even never divided the army, and he single-mindedly chased after the newly enthroned emperor of the South. Run, because in Jin Wushu's view, as long as the last bloodline of the Song royal family is captured, the turbulent Song Dynasty will naturally disappear.

So although they had never seen each other before, Jin Wushu had already invited master painters to mimic portraits in order to prevent the Song Dynasty emperor from fleeing again at that time, but he was very familiar with him.

In those days under the city of Shuzhou, one was too far away, and the dust was billowing from the fight all day long, but Jin Wushu, as a commander, sits in the army, but looks at each other far away and can’t see his face; It was in Jin Wushu’s mind that the emperor of the southern kingdom had always been a cowardly and incompetent. For the fearless and cowardly rat generation of the Jurchen army, not to mention that he had never seen his face clearly, even if he really saw it under Shuzhou City. With the appearance of that armored general of the Superintendent, I am afraid that I would never dare to associate the heroic hero in front of him with the southern emperor who has always bowed to the Jurchen Daikin and almost flattered him.

Even to this day, Zhao Kuangyin wore the clothes of the emperor, which made him overlap the supervising general of the Song Dynasty who had almost become the nightmare of the Jurchen in recent days with the appearance of the emperor of the Southern Kingdom in his mind. So for a while, I was very surprised.

Naturally, he couldn’t imagine Zhao Kuangyin’s weird things that traveled through time and space and moved souls, so he only felt that someone could hide so deeply over the years, and almost everyone has become accustomed to it in their minds. Because of his cowardly and incompetent appearance, these days I have seen him show his mighty power with my own eyes, but it has made him so clearly understand how indispensable the martial arts and martial arts of the emperor of the southern kingdom are. At first sight, he couldn't help feeling sympathy, but he also gave up thinking about the true purpose of the Southern Kingdom emperor.

Before they arrived, they had already negotiated and decided that once the main force of the Song army was discovered, the firework signal was immediately released, and the Jurchen under the mountain army would come with all its strength and rush out of the ambush of the Song army in one fell swoop.

However, now that Zhao Kuangyin Jinger was waiting here alone, it made his original expectation all in vain for a while.

After all, the scheming and calculation of the Southern Kingdom emperor had already seen him, and now that he dared to wait for him alone, he might have already anticipated his own arrangements and plans.

The position of the main force of the Southern Kingdom’s army is unclear. If the Southern Kingdom’s emperor really anticipated his plan, then maybe this scene is doing the opposite. Since I can think of using my example as bait, this How could he not think of the Southern Kingdom's emperor who has been unable to figure out what is true or false.

His own Jurchen army didn’t know anything about the conditions of the mountains and forests here. The Song army originally occupied the best place, and now the Jurchen army’s goal is obvious, but the Song army is lying in the dark. With enough opportunities, the hills and gully here are so high that they can’t display the characteristics of the Jurchen cavalry coming and going like wind. Now the Jurchen army occupies the empty flat ground and can’t hold on, and it can withstand the impact of the Song army. , But if you take the initiative to attack and let Song Jun, who had been in ambush, hit him head-on, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

So for a while, he didn't dare to act rashly. While chatting with Zhao Kuangyin, he kept thinking about what the Southern Kingdom emperor was thinking.

The sun is getting higher.
