Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1353: Going out to the north and seeing the disciple Dan Kening
Chapter 1353: Going out to the north and seeing the disciple Dan Kening
Chapter 1353: Leaving Dashan Pass in the north, meeting Dan Kening
Listening to Shen Tang talking to himself, Xin Qiji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "We can't compare to this!"
The Song Dynasty was located in the south of the Yangtze River, and horses were rare, so the opportunities for ordinary people to come into contact with horses were naturally much less, but it was different in the North!
Not to mention these elite golden soldiers in the North, even children of a few years old can roll on horseback! To put it bluntly, they have grown up on horseback since they were young. Riding is not a skill for them. It is an instinct that has been mixed into the bones.
You must know that cavalry is not called cavalry when a soldier rides on a horse. How to control the horse, how to shoot and slash on the horse, and even avoid the opponent's attack, this also needs to be practiced and used to! Just like Cheng Yuhu Why is this cavalry under the command of others more powerful than other cavalry of the Song Dynasty?
From the day they were formed, the fighting almost never stopped.
There were not a hundred but dozens of battles, large and small! Their fighting power was tempered with blood, human life, and the death of countless horses.
But what about the other soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty?
How many local troops are just dawdling?
Even the simplest bandit suppression is just a transaction and sale. When such soldiers enter the battlefield, just the blood and death that can be seen everywhere is enough to make them collapse.
Why did the Song army collapse at the drop of a hat every time in the wars with Liao and Jin?
Even if they occupy the right time and place, and the number of soldiers and horses is several times that of the enemy, they just can't win!
This is not surprising, you cannot expect a group of farmers and a group of killing machines to fight to the death! Although the Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of troops, at least a large part of them could only bully the common people.
Shen Tang helplessly shook his head. This kind of thing cannot be changed in a short time! Although Shen Tang has more experience and knowledge than these people for a thousand years, he is not a god after all.
"What did this disciple Dan Kening say?"
Seeing Shen Tang opening the letter, Xin Qiji was a little curious!
"What else can I say?
I didn't ask someone to send a message before, but now he has written back, agreeing to send me a message fifteen miles north of Dashan Pass at tomorrow's time!"
Xin Qiji hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I know you are confident and have some confidence in the Kingdom of Jin, but isn't it a bit risky to go out and meet each other like this?
A soldier never tires of deceit, and you are our backbone now. If they really do something secretly, it will be dangerous to break up the alliance."
"How about I lead my personal guards and go with you then?
In this way, even if they want to play tricks, they will still be confident enough to deal with it!"
"Don't worry, second brother!"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you will lead the troops to open the gate and wait outside the gate! If something happens, you will have time to react! Moreover, I think this disciple Dan Kening will not use tricks, let alone lead troops there! "
"That's fine!"
Xin Qiji thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
He had personally seen Shen Tang's experience in Zhongdu City, so he was not too worried about Shen Tang! To put it bluntly, with Shen Tang's current status, the Jin people could deal with any Song people, but they could not deal with Shen Tang alone. Take action.
Furthermore, Shen Tang had just returned from the North, and had traveled through most of the Jin Kingdom from Shangjing. How could he not have a chance?
If you want to keep Shen Tang, why wait until now?
Don’t they know what Shen Tang will do when he returns to the Song Dynasty?
There was nothing to say for one day, but early the next morning, the entire Dashan Pass was filled with soldiers and horses!
In addition to the troops at the pass, inside the Dashan Pass, Xin Qiji personally leads two thousand elite cavalry in the front, and the soldiers and horses in the camp at the rear are also on standby! As long as necessary, they can leave Dashan in the shortest possible time. Pass to the north.
As for Shen Tang, he was casually wearing a Confucian shirt and riding on a black horse!
"Commander, the time is coming!"
Xin Qiji whispered.
Shen Tang nodded slightly, and then Xin Qiji shouted sharply, "Come here, turn on the switch!"
"Drink, drink, drink..."
"Crunch..."
Accompanied by a chorus of shouts and the heart-wrenching sound of the door hinge and rope twisting, the heavy door slowly opened!
"Commander, be careful!"
Hearing this, Shen Tang signaled to Xin Qiji to feel at ease, and then he immediately urged his horse out of Dashan Pass!
After Shen Tang came out of seclusion, Xin Qiji raised the spear in his hand and said, "Come out of seclusion!"
Then, two thousand soldiers and horses under his command marched out of the checkpoint in a mighty manner, and they stopped after five miles! Shen Tang, on the other hand, galloped forward with his horse. Not long after, he saw a man and a horse in front of him. Come!
"Hush!"
"Hush!"
When they got closer, Shen Tang and Tu Shan Kening grabbed the reins of the horses at the same time!
"I am the commander, the emperor ordered me to recruit envoys on Lizhou Road. Shen Tang, the Zhongwu Marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, has met Commander Tu Dan Kening!"
Shen Tang clasped his fists and raised his hands in salute!
Tu Shan Kening looked Shen Tang up and down, and then returned the greeting and said, "The general manager of the Fengxiang Road Army and Horse Department of the Great Jin Kingdom, the emperor ordered the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. Tu Shan Kening has met General Shen Tang of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Two people, one is wearing a Confucian shirt, the other is wearing casual clothes, one is young but full of vigor, and the other is old but still old and strong!
Looking at each other for a moment, the two suddenly raised their heads and burst out laughing! Although they were enemies, they still sympathized with each other!
Shen Tang turned over and dismounted, held his hands in his arms again and bowed in greeting, "My nephew Shen Tang, the husband-in-law of Princess Yongqing of the Kingdom of Jin, pays my respects to my uncle!"
Wan Yan Hao, He Shi Lie Zhining, and Tu Shan Kening were all the top generals of the Jin Kingdom, and they had extremely close relationships with each other. In fact, if we really talked about it, everyone was related to each other.
Let's just say that this disciple Shan Kening's mother was Wanyan, and his uncle was Wanyan Xiyin, the former left prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. His wife was the daughter of Wanyan Zongqian, the head of Jiaxiang County, and his daughter was married to Wanyan Yongcheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tu Dan Kening is completely tied to the royal family, and Tu Dan Kening is also a genuine relative of the royal family!
Therefore, if Wan Yan Yue were on the spot, he would definitely not be able to escape.
The reason why he saluted with general etiquette first was because both parties represented the two countries of Song and Jin. Shen Tang could not weaken his own momentum, nor could he weaken the momentum of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the first salute is that both parties stand on an equal footing! The commanders-in-chief of both parties just meet each other.
As for the second salute, as a junior and the husband of Wan Yan Yue, I saluted an elder like Tu Dan Kening! Therefore, Shen Tang not only took the initiative to dismount, but his expression also softened from his previous majesty. With a respectful look.
Sure enough, when this disciple Shan Kening saw this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
Then, he also turned over and dismounted, stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Shen Tang's arm, and helped Shen Tang up with force.
"Yes, you are worthy of being called Yongqing, and you are also qualified to call me uncle!"
