Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 84 The general suddenly arrives, and the altar husband borrows a horse
Chapter 84 The general suddenly arrives, and the altar husband borrows a horse
Chapter 20: The general arrives unexpectedly, and the altar man borrows his horse
Even including Lian'er, Shen Tang and his party only had twenty people, but their horses numbered more than one hundred and thirty. Therefore, Shen Tang directly asked everyone to throw away those carts and throw away everything. Put it on the horse's back.
Although the horses couldn't run wildly while driving the herd, the speed was much faster than when they came! Lian'er was also stubborn. She endured the discomfort and followed closely behind Shen Tang on a slightly thinner horse. .
There are two choices on the way back. The first one is to go back the same way, but the second one is all the way south. After passing Huyang, you can enter Suizhou Zaoyang. Then turn southwest and you can return to Xiangyang City.
In this northern land, it was natural to spend as little time as possible, so Shen Tang chose the second path and returned to the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible so that he could feel at ease completely.
By the time it was dawn, Shen Tang and the others had already traveled two hundred miles!
"Sir, if everything goes well, we can reach Zaoyang tonight and return to Xiangyang Mansion in another day!" Lei Quan on the side smiled at Shen Tang.
"After running all night, we are already tired and tired! Let's stop first, get some food and rest for a while, and then head south again!" Shen Tang said.
After finding a sparse forest, everyone dismounted and rested. Teng Wu arranged for someone to cook, while Lian'er followed Shen Tang without saying a word!
After eating and resting for an hour, everyone mounted their horses again and continued heading due south.
"Tap, step, step..."
Suddenly, the messy sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and Shen Tang's expression changed, "Get out of the way and hide your weapons for defense!"
As soon as Shen Tang finished speaking, he saw a cloud of smoke billowing in front of him, and a cavalry of dozens of people came running at extremely fast speeds!
When he saw the faces of the knights on horseback, Shen Tang felt a little relieved. Because these people in front of him were obviously not Jin soldiers, but were dressed as Song people!
Although there were not many people in Shen Tang and his party, there were more than a hundred horses. Of course, they were seen by the knights. When they were a hundred steps away from Shen Tang and his party, the leading knight suddenly pulled the reins, and behind him All the dozens of people stopped moving forward.
Lei Quan's expression changed slightly and he whispered to Shen Tang: "Sir, these people look more like soldiers, and their strength is far better than ordinary border troops!"
He didn't compare it to Bei Weijun, but Shen Tang could hear the fear in Lei Quan's words.
The leading knight was wearing bright silver armor, a baby helmet on his head, and a sword slung across his waist. On the side of the horse was a spear! What surprised Shen Tang most was that this general looked like He actually looks like he is only in his twenties.
"Are you a Song caravan?" the leading general said slowly.
Shen Tang stepped forward, raised his hands and responded: "General, we are indeed from the Song Dynasty!"
"I'm sorry to say that the horses we are riding are tired. I see that you have many horses. I wonder if you can sell fifty of them to us? The price is easy to talk about. Just decide..." The general looked at Shen Tang and said.
Shen Tang frowned slightly, buying a horse? However, before he could respond, a person behind the general took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in the ear of General Shining Armor!
After a while, General Shining Armor showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Well... I was traveling quickly, but I forgot to bring some money! However, since you are from the Song Dynasty, I will naturally not lie to you! I will The general's name is Xin Tanfu, and he is a rebel general near Biyang. Moreover, we have just returned from Lin'an and have been canonized by the imperial court! If you don't believe it, I can tell you the imperial canonization decree. Please leave your name. , when I finish my work, I will make up for all the money left by you..."
With that said, he turned around, took out a yellow silk cloth from the horse's belly bag, and handed it to Shen Tang.
However, Shen Tang was already stunned at this moment. He even did not even hear the whole words behind the general. There was only one sentence echoing in his mind: General Xin Tanfu!
The Southern Song Dynasty was weak, but it was not without invincible generals. Among them, the two most famous ones were naturally Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, who was called Wu Mu. The other was Xin Qiji, who had a legendary life!
Xin Qiji was born in the Kingdom of Jin, but he aspired to restore his homeland! He was only a weak man, but he was already famous in the north! Moreover, he was recognized and canonized by the Southern Song Dynasty court! However, although he had ambitions, the court had no intention of doing so! After returning to the south of the Yangtze River and setting foot in the officialdom, although he was considered to be quite popular, he never had the chance to show off his power on the battlefield! The ridiculous Song Dynasty forced a genius general into a man who could only sleep in a drunken dream. The lyricist who wrote "Watching a sword while drunk"!
And who could the man in front of him be but Xin Qiji? In his early years, Xin Qiji was indeed named Xin Tanfu, but later he was unable to fight on the battlefield, and out of depression, he changed his name to You'an!
"Don't you trust me?" Xin Qiji's words interrupted Shen Tang's thoughts!
Shen Tang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked almost tremblingly: "Excuse me, is the general Xin Qiji?"
"Not bad!" Xin Qiji nodded. He had a good reputation in the North. It was not surprising that Shen Tang knew his name.
"General Xin is fighting in the North, he is my Qilin son of the Great Song Dynasty! Although I, Shen Tang, are weak, I have been looking up to you for a long time! Since General Xin needs it, there is no need to borrow it. How many horses the general needs, Shen Tang will give them to me without taking any money."
Shen Tang's transformation not only stunned everyone behind him, but even Xin Qiji was stunned for a long time.
"Um...your name is Shen Tang? Please leave your address and I will provide you with the money!" Xin Qiji said slowly.
However, Shen Tang laughed and said, "I am a person from Shanyin, but I have no fixed place. Besides, it's just a horse. Compared to General Xin's affairs, it's nothing. As long as the general can chop a few more of the Jin Army's If you have a head, then even if Shen Tang is asked to donate his family wealth, he will be willing to do so!"
Shen Tang's generosity made Xin Qiji slightly moved. He almost felt that God was too kind to him! He led his troops to fight in the North when he was young, persisted year after year, and almost lost hope! But not long ago , he actually contacted the Song Dynasty court. And the court conferred titles on him and the rebels under his command! That is his own country, that is his own emperor, and the emperor's favor filled him with endless hope. .
And now, Shen Tang is just a businessman, but he is willing to lend him dozens of war horses without any evidence. What kind of pride is this?
The Great Song Dynasty should be prosperous, and the pain in the north will be returned sooner or later!
"Thank you very much, Cousin Shen. If you and I meet again in the future, I will definitely have a drink and talk with you!" Among the cavalry, more than fifty good horses were selected.
