Chapter 277 Going to the Great Name, Strange Attitude
Chapter 277: Traveling to Daimyo, Weird Attitude
Under the escort of Wang Meng and his troops, Shen Tang and his party successfully arrived at Daming Mansion. Just after entering the city, Shen Tang and others saw a large group of people coming out of the city to welcome him!
Wang Meng led his troops forward to protect Shen Tang and others, and then shouted sternly, "Who is coming? We are going to Zhongdu to pay homage to the Emperor of Jin in accordance with the order of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! Get out of my way quickly. "
The reason why Wang Meng was so tough was actually because of Shen Tang's secret orders. He wanted to see what the people in the Jin Kingdom were thinking.
Although Shen Tang was secretly aware of the internal conflicts in the Jin Kingdom, he did not understand who was against them or who harbored ill intentions towards the Song Dynasty. After some exploration, although it was a mystery, he was able to get some information.
Shen Tang's expression remained as usual, but the expressions of Li Duo and others behind him changed greatly. Since the birth of the Jin Kingdom, the people of Song Dynasty were like ants in the eyes of the Jin people. Even though they had hatred towards the Jin Kingdom, when facing the Jin Kingdom, they When he was a human being, he still couldn't help but feel a bit cowardly. If Wang Meng's words made the Jin people angry, wouldn't there be huge trouble coming? In this Daming Mansion, if those Jin people deal with them, even if they have Wang Meng was guarded by a thousand soldiers, and they had absolutely no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth!
However, what surprised them was that as Wang Meng's words fell, the army on the opposite side immediately stopped. Moreover, the crowd of two parts respectfully greeted the gesture. One of the black-armored generals strode out and came to the crowd. In front of him, he said with a smile on his face: "I am Wanyan Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Daming Mansion's military and horse capital! I have received the order and am here to greet the envoy of the Song Dynasty."
This general, Wanyan Hao, was none other than Wanyan Hao, who was defeated in the previous battle in Dongping Mansion and was killed by the Beiwei Army under Shen Tang.
If Wanyan Hao were to mention it, he would definitely shed tears. What a tragic word! He is a relative of the emperor, and the cousin of Wanyan Yong, the current emperor of the world! Although the two brothers are not born from the same mother, But they have been together since childhood, and there is no need to talk about their relationship. Otherwise, how could he, a member of the royal family, be allowed to occupy the high position of the governor of a famous mansion? You must know that as an emperor, the most guarded against are these people of the same clan. brother.
Others may have some concerns if they want to rebel, but for brothers of the same clan, there will be less trouble. After all, we are all from the same ancestor. Since you can be the emperor, I can naturally do the same.
Wanyanhao was in charge of Daming Mansion, and Heshi Liezhining went south to start a war with the Song Dynasty. Naturally, he also received the news from Shizong. Otherwise, how could he spare no effort to help Heshi Liezhining? Not only would the great Part of the troops were loaned out, and even at the risk of leaving Daming Mansion empty, he led his troops to the northeast of Shandong to suppress the rebellion for Shi Liezhining? The most fundamental reason was that he had already been ordered to do his best. Ensure the success of the Battle of Sizhou.
However, everything went unexpectedly! He led his troops to Shandong, but was severely defeated. Only thousands of soldiers were left to recover in embarrassment. The Battle of Sizhou also came to an end. Wanyan Yong's original plan was all over. failed because of their disadvantage.
If it was just like this, he would not be afraid. After all, with Shizong's trust, it was just a slight defeat, and there might not be no chance of recovery. However, the defeat in the Battle of Sizhou greatly impacted Wanyanyong's prestige. The court that had just stabilized was once again turbulent. Of course, these people naturally did not dare to attack the emperor directly, but Wanyan Hao, who almost lost the Daming Palace, and Heshi Liezhining, who failed in Sizhou, became the emperor. Hit the target.
During this period of time, he didn't know how many times he was impeached. If Wanyanyong hadn't been so angry that he suppressed a few people who gossiped, I'm afraid his position as the governor of the famous mansion would have been taken away long ago.
Not long ago, the Kingdom of Jin naturally got the news about the attack and killing of Shen Tang and others in Tengzhou. Especially Wanyan Hao, who was the nearest, was immediately furious.
If it was just a mere envoy from the Song Dynasty on weekdays, how could he take it seriously? Even if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty came in person, he would not take it seriously at all. However, the current timing is a bit mysterious.
The court is in turmoil, and even Sejong Wanyanyong's control is somewhat unstable. The situation is different from a few months ago. If an all-out war between the two countries occurs at this time, it will naturally give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it. Don't even forget that Shizong took advantage of Wanyan Liang's southern expedition to stand alone in the north and change dynasties. If a war breaks out at this time, who knows if there will be someone who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable?
Therefore, even though these Song people in front of him were like two-legged sheep in his eyes, on the surface, he had to change his previous attitude.
Those guys in the Southern Dynasty are not very smart, so any crazy decision they make will not be unexpected. If they anger these envoys and make the Southern Kingdom go to war with the Jin Kingdom in anger, let alone whether the Song Dynasty can win, I am afraid that their Jin Dynasty There was going to be big trouble within the country. Therefore, a few days ago, he got Wanyan Yong's order, not only to receive these envoys respectfully, but also to personally send troops to escort them to the central capital of the North.
The purpose is to prevent other accidents from being ridden by other people on the road.
Regarding the attack and killing in Tengzhou, neither Zhang Jun nor Zhao Shen knew it was a fake because they did not understand the internal situation of the Jin Kingdom. But the funny thing is that the people of the Jin Kingdom thought it was true.
Especially from the perspective of Wan Yanyong, Wan Yan Hao and others, this is simply someone deliberately provoking trouble between the two countries and trying to fish in troubled waters.
Otherwise, if they knew that Zhang Jun sent troops to Tengzhou, why wouldn't they take the opportunity to open their mouths against the Song Dynasty Lion?
It is precisely because of these reasons that Wanyan Hao came out of the city to greet him today. If the Daming Mansion had not been extremely short of troops and did not know the specific route of the Song Dynasty's envoy, he might have been eager to send troops there. Welcomed.
Wanyan Hao's behavior made even Li Duo and others stunned, and even Wang Meng and other soldiers looked dumbfounded. Is this... really a Jin man who always looks down on the Song people? And he is the governor of Daming Mansion? Is this... Acting? But, this is obviously his territory, is it necessary?
On the contrary, Shen Tang's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he could not guess the specific reason, Wanyan Hao's attitude had already explained a lot. It seemed that this trip to the north might be better than he thought. How smooth is it?
Immediately, Shen Tang stepped forward, bowed and saluted Wanyan Hao and said, "Shen Tang, the envoy of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, has met Lord Wanyan!"
