Song Heng came back from the city gate at noon. After lunch, he discussed with Prince Yun and others about setting up defenses.
While they were discussing, the guard at the city gate came in holding an arrow tied with a cloth strip.
"The general and the barbarian shot an arrow at the flagpole on our city gate."
The guard held the arrow in both hands and handed it to Song Heng.
Song Heng reached out to take it, untied the cloth strip, and dropped the arrow on the table. As soon as he opened the cloth strip, a strand of hair floated out.
His hair fell on the table, and when he looked at the words written on the strip of cloth, his face suddenly became frosty.
"Dong," he held the cloth strip and punched the table.
The table shook. If it hadn't been strong enough and Song Heng withdrew a little more force, it would have fallen into pieces by now.
"What's written on it?"
Yu Shenjiang asked cautiously.
Song Heng let go of his hand and the cloth fell on the table. He turned around and looked at the border map hanging on the wall, breathing heavily.
Xuanyuan Liuyun picked up the cloth, looked at the words on it and said: "General Song, your beloved son is a guest in our northern camp. I sincerely invite General Song and his men to come to the Northern Region to reunite with your beloved son and his son.
, go hand in hand with me in the Northern Territory and share the world.
The general has not seen his beloved son for a long time, and he must miss him terribly. I specially give him a lock of his beloved son’s hair to relieve the general’s pain of missing his beloved son - Yelu Ye.”
This is so straightforward! Threatening Song Ziling, Song Heng was directly asked to lead troops to rebel.
Pang Qishan said angrily: "This barbarian is too shameless."
To threaten someone with childishness is shameless and despicable.
Song Heng's fists clenched loudly, "They want me to lead troops to rebel. It's just a dream for them."
He would never be a traitor under any circumstances. The emperor did not recall him, nor did he remove him as the commander-in-chief even after sending reinforcements. This was also out of trust in him. Naturally, he could not live up to the emperor's trust in him.
.
"They should have secretly passed this letter to General Song. In the clear sky and in broad daylight, he shot the arrow on the flagpole with a big thorn, fearing that the drunkard was not interested in drinking."
Xuanyuan Liuyun narrowed his eyes.
This barbarian just wants everyone on the border to know that they are leading troops to rebel against Song Heng.
General Yu thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, they sent such a blatant message to threaten the general to lead troops to rebel, just to show us, and their purpose is naturally to make us and others come.
Support the young prince, guard against the general, lose trust in the general, and disrupt the morale of our army.
These barbarians are really getting more and more scheming and disturbing."
Qiao Mu hurriedly said: "Then we must not fall into the trap of the barbarian."
Xuanyuan Liuyun looked at Song Heng and said solemnly: "We trust General Song and will not be fooled by the barbarians."
Pang Qishan sneered: "You just want to mess with our mentality with this little trick. The barbarians underestimate us too much."
They wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for such a trick.
Hearing their words, Song Heng couldn't help but feel moved and looked at them gratefully.
Only the generals who were discussing it together knew that Manzi sent a letter of solicitation to Song Heng. They originally said that this matter should not be spread to outsiders, but for some reason, the matter still spread to the army.
During dinner, a soldier said to the people sitting together: "Have you heard?
The barbarian sent a letter to the general today, threatening the second son of the Song Dynasty to persuade the general to lead his troops to rebel!"
"Is this possible?"
Everyone was shocked.
"The barbarian's arrow hit the flagpole on the city tower in the afternoon, and there was a letter tied to the arrow!"
"Then the general shouldn't be able to accept the threats from barbarians!"
"Although I am not under General Song, I don't think he will commit treason because of the barbarians' threats."
"It's hard to tell. After all, the person captured by the barbarian was also his biological son."
"That's right. Who can bear to watch his son die?"
"Then what should General Song do if he really leads his troops to rebel?"
If the general rebels, the northern border will definitely be lost.
