Since Gao Tansheng was very confident, Yun Zheng was not going to stop him. These scourges could die on the battlefield fighting the Xixia people, which was considered to be their best use. So, Yun Zheng's plan changed. Hanlin and Langli
Ge and Sun Qi pointed out that the target of the assassination trio had changed from Zang Yipang to Gao Tansheng. If Gao Tansheng led his men to attack Wu Zang Yipang once, the scheming Wu Zang Yipang would definitely retreat back to Dingzhou.
In any case, it is impossible to enter Xingqing Mansion and become a lamb to be slaughtered. There have been too many previous examples. Li Yuanhao is not an emperor with a broad mind like the sea.
One of the biggest advantages of Yun Zheng living in the military camp is that he can easily figure out Xixia's troop deployment. The secrets that Li Yuanhao seems to be trying his best to keep are no longer secrets in the military camp. As long as someone with a heart has a little idea about the conversations of the soldiers.
, you can clearly understand the deployment of his troops. After all, his military system still follows a strong aristocratic military model.
The focus of Xixia's military strength was set on a triangle with Xingqing Prefecture as the center, with 70,000 people guarding Xingqing, 50,000 people guarding Xiping Prefecture in the southeast, and 50,000 troops stationed in Helan Mountain in the northwest. The left and right wings and the four north and south sections of Henan
Troops were also deployed on the line. Among them, 50,000 troops were deployed on Youzhou Road on the left side and 50,000 troops on Yanzhou Road in Henan Province to defend against the Song Dynasty, 70,000 troops were on the Anbei Road in Hebei Province to defend against the Liao Dynasty, and 30,000 troops on the Ganzhou Road on the right side were to defend against the Tubo and Uighurs. Whenever there was an emergency,
If you want to send troops to the west, gather from the east point and go to the west. If you want to go east, gather from the west point and go to the east. If you are in the middle, gather the east and west points toward the center.
When Xixia sent out troops to fight, some primitive customs and systems were still maintained. Before sending out troops, the leaders of each tribe had to pierce blood and swear an oath. Yuan Hao led the leaders of each tribe to go out hunting before sending out troops, hunted wild beasts, sat around and ate, discussed military affairs together, and made choices.
Follow what is good. This is actually a system of aristocratic discussions.
It is impossible to strictly keep secrets under such a system, not to mention that he also let a powerful rat like Yunzheng into the company's own military camp.
Jiaziying did nothing else. The only thing they could do was chat with every Xixia person they met. In front of the fine wine and delicious food, the simple Xixia warriors could not wait to tell the most secret things they knew so as to win a favor.
Reverent gazes and heartfelt admiration.
Wu Zangyupang was in charge of more than 40% of the army in Xingqing Mansion. At this point, Yun Zheng had to admire Li Yuanhao's courage. Back then, the Queen's Yeli family did not have such power.
Since Yeli Renrong and Li Yuanhao jointly created the Xixia script and produced twelve volumes of Xixia script, it is stipulated that the new Xia script should be used for the records of Xia documents. Chinese characters are only used for documents related to the Song Dynasty, and Xixia script is used.
Juxtaposition. For the Tubo tribe, the Uighurs, Zhangye, Jiaohe and other ethnic groups, all use the Xixia Chinese characters, and the characters of each ethnic group are also appended.
In Yun Zheng's view, this is the greatest achievement an emperor can achieve, but this person is still a true gambler. Party people are naturally impatient, and their personalities are irritable, and their culture has not yet been formed.
When the time came, he was so eager to expand outward that he was attacked by everyone. Whether it was the Song people, the Khitan people, or the Tubo people, their history was much longer than him. What he created would only be destroyed by everyone.
People sneered. Now, he felt that he didn't have enough time, and he had become emotional. He had already achieved the ultimate in the emperor's achievements in Xixia, and it was inevitable that he would become arrogant and indifferent to everyone's existence.
Because of indifference, he didn't care about the existence of others, so he did whatever he wanted. Wugou and Yunzheng discussed this for a long time before coming to this conclusion.
Wugou was invited by the Xixia Han Academy to give lectures. Of course, this invitation was accepted by Wugou after he had gone through Xixia Buddhism and arrived in Xixia. If he hadn’t met Yun Zheng on the street, Wugou would have just watched it silently.
Zhu Yunzheng moved all over Xixia's territory.
"It's true that Pang's ambition is not small!" Wugou finally concluded.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, since there is nothing hidden, Pang Pang and Li Yuanhao don't want to quarrel now, so they might as well let Gao Tansheng help them do it. Since he said that he also has masters on the grassland, I always feel that he should secretly join the Maitreya Cult.
Khitan people, otherwise, given the status of Xixia, it is absolutely impossible for the Song people to do so many things for him, especially the situation of the palace guards. This is not something that the Song people can find out at all, and these days, I have seen
When Gao Tansheng arrived, he himself was wearing Khitan clothes. There were too many Khitans in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun who could speak Chinese. They believed in Buddhism and were extremely easy to be deceived.
The level of barbarism is no less than that of the Xixia people. It doesn't matter if they are allowed to touch it. Han Lin and the others can just act as the oriole in the end.
I actually don’t like to use this metaphor, because people who want to be oriole will always find that they are actually the damn mantis. So, we shouldn’t give them any death orders. It’s better for us to save ourselves and let them.
If you give free play, you might be able to achieve better results."
Wugou closed his eyes and proclaimed the Buddha's name, then began to chant sutras. A monk was now discussing with others how to assassinate and plot to assassinate others, which made his conscience feel very uneasy.
Although it is already March, the rapeseed in the fields in Chengdu has already grown very high by this time, but in the land of Saibei, the spring breeze has not yet arrived, but the rivers have begun to thaw, the earth has slowly become soft, and the dry air
It has also become a little humid, and the clouds coming out of Helan Mountain are as white as cotton.
More than three hundred cavalrymen were strolling and galloping on the avenue without flags. The cavalrymen were tightly clustered next to a black painted carriage. All of them were wearing hooded chainmail, holding spears, carrying strong bows, and carrying arrows on their waists.
The pot was filled with black eagle-feather arrows. This was a powerful force armed to the teeth.
From Dingzhou to Xingqing Mansion, you must pass through Heifeng Gorge. This is the best place for an ambush. The mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the roads are narrow. The cautious cavalry separated ten people from the group and started galloping. Now they had to go to investigate the black wind gorge.
Is Fengxia safe?
Sitting in the carriage, Wu Zangpang was very confused. He couldn't think of who was responsible for the assassination two months ago. If he had to name a suspicious person, he thought this person was
It should be Prince Ning Lingge.
The people in the Wei Ming family are all lunatics, and Li Yuanhao is a shrewd and calm lunatic. Ever since he started killing his generals for women, he had already thought that this guy was crazy without hiding. Brother Ning Ling has the Yeli family and Wei Ming.
With the blood of the family, it is not surprising at all that he would do something crazy, not to mention that Wei Lang gave him thirty lashes, which was enough reason for him to kill.
Now is still not the time to fall out with Li Yuanhao, so Xingqing Mansion must go and make it clear that he did not expect to use assassination to get rid of the Weiming family.
In March, there would always be light sand flying from the desert. They were as pervasive as flowing water. They kept moving for a long time, and a fine layer of dust had already fallen on his sleeves.
Wu Zang was one of the few Western Xia people with mysophobia. When he saw the dust, he gently shook it onto a piece of pink letter paper. This letter was written by his sister Wu Zang.
This letter prompted Wu Zang and Pang to risk their lives and go to Xingqing Mansion. Wu Zang hoped that his son Liang Jie could replace Ning Lingge and become the new ruler of Xixia. Wu Zang and Pang thought so too, and for Wu Zang's sake
For the future development of the Zang family, this risk must be taken. He believed that it would not be difficult to deal with the reckless and unreasonable Brother Ning Ling. What was difficult was how not to attract Li Yuanhao's attention, which was the top priority.
The carriage passed through the Black Wind Gorge without incident. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, crossbow arrows rained down from the low slope on the roadside. The battle-hardened guards approached immediately.
He got out of the carriage, protecting his cheeks with both hands, and was wearing chain armor. Ordinary crossbow arrows could not penetrate the armor at such a long distance.
They miscalculated. Those crossbows were not facing them at all, but attacking their mounts. The war horses also had chain armor on them. After all, there was no way to protect all the exposed skin. Strangely, the injuries to the war horses were not serious.
, but not long after, those war horses fell to the ground with foam at the mouth.
"Poisonous!" the captain of the guard roared angrily, jumped off the horse that was about to fall, drew out his long sword and roared angrily to launch an attack on the hillside. At the same time, the masked attackers came from behind the hillside holding heavy flails and giant hammers.
After rushing down, although some people fell under the strong bows of Xixia warriors, the rest were still brave. The leader, a sturdy man, was hit by an arrow on his shoulder, but he seemed unconscious. He screamed and swung his giant hammer at the guards.
leader.
The leader of the guards ducked his head and stabbed the big man in the waist with his backhand, but was blocked by the wide iron belt. He let out an ear-piercing scream. The big man's hammer hit the air, but he did not turn around in a hurry, ignored the leader of the guards, and continued to attack fiercely.
Black carriage toward the crowd.
Wu Zangpang glanced at the big man through the gap and frowned. How could he be a Khitan? He was also a famous warrior among the Khitan people. He had spent his life in battle. He had fought with the Song people, and
He had fought with the Khitans, as well as with the Tibetans and the Uighurs. He was very familiar with the types of warriors, and even covering his face with a thin layer of black cloth couldn't hide it from him.
The giant man's heavy hammer hit the guard's chain armor, making a strange sound, like a hammer hitting a leather bag. There was only a popping sound. Those guards were indeed covered in a tattered leather bag.
It flew up, with blood spurting out from its mouth and nose. Some people were knocked away, and the remaining people immediately filled the gap and used their spears to deal with this giant man who looked like a god.
The battle became fierce from the beginning, and the unhidden guards kept falling to the ground. But later on, when the captain of the guard barely formed a formation, the assassins began to suffer casualties.
When Wu Zangpang heard the battle outside, he chuckled. He knew that his guards would win the final victory without even looking, until a crossbow arrow pierced the carriage, and the sharp arrow was still in front of him.
They stopped at the place where they were eating, and their face finally changed color. The only one who could shoot through their own specially made carriage was the God-Armed Crossbow. (To be continued)
