Chapter 712 Another purpose of coming to Yanzhou
Chapter 712
Just when Pochao Xinde was thinking hard and thinking hard, he heard the noise of footsteps outside. After a glance at each other in confusion, the two of them quickly walked away. When they saw the Song army officers and soldiers who surrounded the inn and surrounded the inn, they couldn't help but feel confused.
"What are they doing? We are here to envoy, not prisoners of war. Why did he do this? It's simply a bastard. Wouldn't his surname be afraid of being impeached?" After hearing the trembling report from his subordinates, the two ambassadors were so angry that they were almost mad at Wang Yang's behavior.
"Don't worry, two ambassadors, I will definitely report this to the court and His Majesty. However, what Lord Wang said is not without reason. After all, the war in Yanzhou has just ended, but there are still a large number of wanderers scattered among the countryside.
And the inn itself is hanging alone outside the city. If the wandering soldiers who have become bandits have regarded this place as a place of attack, it is probably impossible for the two ambassadors to be safe."
The official of the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained that in the face of the two envoys' responsibility, the pressure was really great. What's important is that the reason that Lord Xiao Wang gave was really too much, huh... perfunctory, yes, it's too perfunctory.
This inn is less than a little far from the city, and to the north of Yanzhou City is the barracks of large troops. After nearly a month of cleaning, the wandering soldiers and scattered soldiers were almost rarer than rabbits in the wild. How could they gather and rush to Yanzhou City to cause trouble? Unless they really lose all hope for life and survive, it is almost the same to come and die.
But the problem is that Wang Yang was going to say this, and when he went to this northwest land, His Majesty personally ordered him to transfer everything according to the meaning of Lord Wang Yang, and he would not be allowed to take action without authorization.
After chatting with the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty for a long time, the two of them had no choice but to do anything. Xiao Wuna's face looked even more gloomy. He stroked his long, thick beard and sighed slowly indoors after a while. "It seems that Wang Yang is indeed a smart person. I'm afraid he must have guessed some of our intentions."
"You mean we want to find out what kind of thing, is he also seen through it?" Pochao Xinde was stunned at first, and Xuan Ji couldn't help frowning.
"Otherwise, why would he be so wary of us and even unwilling to let us stay in Yanzhou City? Now, this small inn is surrounded by a large army, just to make it difficult for us to contact us outside. In this way, how can we find that thing..." Xiao Wu groaned in confusion.
After quieting, Xiao Wuna whispered in a whispering voice. "Brother Xinde, you Xixia are really sure that Song State can really destroy the city and pull out the village in an instant, and regard the solid city wall as if nothing is missing?"
"Ambassador Xiao, you have heard the words of the dozens of soldiers from Daxia before, not to mention that at that time, the strength of my Daxia army was there. If the Song army did not have such sharp weapons, how could the tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Daxia be eliminated by the Song army in the ancient city of Wuyan..." After saying this, Pochao Xinde could not continue to say it himself.
Importantly, Pochao Xinde was very confident about the bravery of the Great Xia warriors. Therefore, after listening to the words of the soldiers sent by His Majesty, it also aroused the curiosity and vigilance of the Northern Liao ambassador Xiao Wuna, and decided to follow Pochao Xinde to the north to rush to the north.
Rather than representing Bei Liao, it is to supervise the prisoner exchange work of both sides as an intermediary, it is better to try to find out whether that terrible weapon really exists. If it really exists, then even if it pays a great price, you have to try your best to get it.
"Then I'll find a way to let our people leave the inn and contact the people in the city to see if there is any chance to do anything. In addition, try to find out and see where that weapon is. Since it is said that the weapon is several meters high, it is difficult for the Song people to hide it if they want to hide it."
"What the ambassador said is that this is a kind of long-range weapon that is similar to the bed crossbow of Song State, no, it is a more powerful ranged weapon than the bed crossbow. The soldiers before could be sure that it was made of wood.
As long as you can get something or know how to make this thing, no matter I am in Daxia or Daliao, you will no longer be afraid of such weapons." Pochao Xinde nodded heavily and said with confidence.
As long as you stay here, you will definitely have the opportunity to find out the existence of that terrible weapon.
However, it is absolutely difficult to leave under the vigilance of hundreds of elite Song soldiers. The two ambassadors are also preparing to rush to Yanzhou City the next day and take advantage of the opportunity to leave the team quietly.
However, that night, Wang Yang rushed to the inn and sent people to bring a lot of wine and food to entertain these guests from foreign countries.
"You are hard to get my Song Dynasty, and I believe it is hard to taste the delicious food of my Song Dynasty. Please, please treat you well. In addition, I don't know when the people of the Song Dynasty abducted by Xixia will arrive in Yanzhou?" Wang Yang was so red that he ate and drank late, and smiled at the painful face of Pochao Xinde.
"It will take about three or five days, so let's do it. The servant will send someone to Xingqing Mansion to ask. If you can get in touch with the team, what if you can get there?" Pochao Xinde couldn't help but feel secretly happy and said seriously at Wang Yang.
Wang Yang thought about it and nodded. "Okay, then I'll be the ambassador."
"I will also send someone to accompany you. After all, the Emperor of Song had said before that I would supervise the exchange of prisoners on your behalf." Xiao Wuna said with an unshirkable expression.
It is also a release to let one group of people, and it doesn’t matter if two groups of people are released. Anyway, Yanzhou City has clearly informed the people that a curfew will be imposed in the past few days. With the arrival of the Western Xia envoy, and the news of the government’s announcement is received.
Both the Dangxiang people and the Tubo people had the opportunity to return to their homeland, so they naturally calmed down a lot, and the previous undercurrents were no longer surging.
The two ambassadors were secretly happy. Soon, in front of Wang Yang, they all appointed several subordinates to set off. However, when they left, one of them, one of the cavalry, had sent them fifty miles north of Yanzhou in the name of escort before turning back.
