A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1695 Shen Quede, Tell Yelu Hongji

The stars are shining tonight.

There was a dark figure lying on the roof. Seeing Shen An rushing out, he wanted to climb down.

Shen An was just about to yell and call someone to do something, but found something was wrong.

Why is the thief so small?

"who?"

He shouted low, and Yang Zhuoxue in the room said, "Sir, please call someone quickly."

"Daddy..."

The little dark shadow on the roof shouted in a low voice.

I...

It turned out to be taro!

Shen An gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, come down!"

Taro slowly climbed down, and Shen An nervously stretched out his hands below, moving with his movements.

When the taro reached the eaves, it fell down immediately. Shen An rushed over to catch him, but who knew that this kid actually slowed down halfway.

A rope painted black with something unknown was swinging, and the taro had landed safely.

Shen An grabbed him and carried him into the house.

Yang Zhuoxue had already put on her clothes and was holding an awl in her hand. Taro couldn't help but feel a little flustered when she saw it, "Mom."

"This little bastard learned some tricks from Wen Xiaozhong and climbed up here." Shen An let go of his hand, sat on the bed and asked, "Why do you want to climb on the roof?"

Taro lowered his head, "My child... my child..."

Shen An said thoughtfully: "If there are any lies, when my father goes to the north tomorrow, your daily homework will be doubled."

Taro raised his head, "Dad, I want to try..."

The price of trying is getting your ass kicked.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen An met with Cao Yi and quietly left Bianliang City.

Not long after he left, a gambler started gambling privately at home, using Shen An's method of guessing the contents of three bowls.

This guy went on a killing spree at home, but someone lost miserably. After leaving, he quietly went to the military patrol shop to report it.

Gambling was banned in the Song Dynasty, but catching gamblers was a bad job. After hearing the news, the people from the military patrol shop rushed to the scene and captured more than a dozen gamblers who were losing money, as well as a banker who played three bowls more smoothly than Shen An.

Then came the collection of gambling money, that is, a body search, and a small wooden ball was found in the dealer's hand...

What does it mean?

The people in the military patrol shop were also a little curious about this, but the gamblers broke out. Even if there were official people present, they still pounced on the dealer and beat him half to death.

The sergeants went up and beat them severely. The gamblers were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but they could not help but call them liars.

"What does it mean?"

The sergeant from the military patrol shop asked, holding a wooden ball.

"That liar!" A gambler squatted there and said, "We were betting on which bowl the ball was under. We just finished it and were ready to open the bowl."

A sergeant went over curiously and opened the three bowls one by one.

It was empty down there.

"Where's the ball?"

Everyone looked at the dealer.

The dealer glanced at the captured ball and lowered his head in frustration.

Shen An used this trick to defraud the man of 120,000 yuan. It is said that the family sold their property to collect the bet.

But how come someone was caught just after he started gambling?

The sergeant then asked the banker to demonstrate it.

Pretending to put the small wooden ball in was actually a trick. The dealer slowed down and everyone saw the clues.

It turned out that this guy actually hooked the small wooden ball into his sleeve, and then kept his right hand slightly elevated.

"A few times he lost, and a few times he won, he opened the bowl to show us, but the wooden ball was underneath."

"This is a false and true thing, designed to deceive fools." The sergeant tried it, and when he turned the bowl, he found that the friction sound with the table was very loud, and then he realized that it was done to cover up that the wooden ball was not in the bowl.

In a short period of time, he was able to complete the cracking and alternative imitation. There is really no one else who is so smart.

A group of gamblers were led away dejectedly.

But Bianliang City was boiling.

Shen An, Shen Wude, Shen Da lie...

Lu Jie was dumbfounded on the censor's stage, and then burst into laughter.

Yang Jinian sighed in the check-in room, feeling that this son-in-law knew how to cheat people all day long, and he was really hopeless.

The family's messenger was still in Bianliang. When he heard the news, he went crazy and went to see several big bosses of the old party.

Later in the day, impeachment came.

"Immoral!"

Zhao Shu was reading the bullet and eating fruit, feeling very comfortable.

"He actually pulled off such a trick, 120,000 yuan! I'm afraid that family will be driven crazy by him."

Chen Zhongheng smiled flatteringly on the side and said: "The official, but he has no evidence! This gambling is all about catching cheaters and doubles, catching thieves and taking the stolen goods, and leaving nothing behind..."

Zhao Shu raised his head and glanced at him, "It seems you know more."

Dang, Dang, Dang!

Alarm bells rang in Chen Zhongheng's heart, and he realized that he had exposed a problem that he was familiar with in the gambling industry.

Gambling was banned in the Song Dynasty!

You, Chen Zhongheng, actually took the lead in gambling.

Is that true?

Zhao Shu said calmly: "There is a jelly shop outside the city. The queen likes to eat it. Go and buy two bowls."

This punishment was so insignificant, it was simply asking Chen Zhongheng to go out for fun.

Let this punishment be more severe.

Chen Zhongheng accepted the order and was about to walk to the door when he heard Zhao Shu say quietly behind him: "The horses in the palace are going to have a good birth recently. You go on foot. If you come back late and the jelly is not cold... then go again." "

That jelly is a new thing. It can be cooled inside by adding ice cubes.

But if you go from the palace to the outside of the city so far, you still have to walk. The ice cubes may melt before they reach the palace.

Someone’s life is so miserable!

The transfer on Hebei Road made Zheng Qiuyu very annoyed.

The Liao army has continued to harass the border areas, which has been the norm recently.

If it is a small-scale harassment, that's it. But sometimes the scale of tens of thousands of riders makes the Song Dynasty very nervous and has to be careful.

"Come if you want to come, and be honest if you don't come. From ancient times to the present, there is no principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days!"

He is very courageous and decisive in doing things, and he is known as Zheng Bold in the officialdom!

Now he is on the Song side of Beigou River, with the Boundary Bridge in front of him.

The officials around them were a little nervous, and the five hundred knights protecting them looked nervous too.

"Envoy Yun, the day before yesterday the Liao army dispatched more than 7,000 horses and swaggered across the other bank!"

An official with a pale face suggested, "How about... let's go back first?"

If we stay any longer, the Liao army may come unexpectedly. When the time comes to see these fat sheep, I bet with my heels that the Liao army will definitely dare to cross the boundary bridge and take action.

If he were to capture a Song Dynasty messenger, his achievements would drive people crazy.

Since the Liao army was defeated several times, it is said that Yelu Hongji personally promised to increase the reward for capturing the Song army. The higher the prisoner's official position, the richer the reward.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Liao Army, the current Song Army is like a moving little golden man, and they want to capture them alive when they see them.

Then the Song army would use crossbows and firearms to teach them how to behave.

This kind of drama has been played out countless times recently, and everyone in the business is familiar with it.

But if the Liao army came with thousands of people, Zheng Qiuyu would have no choice but to capture them without help.

"What are you afraid of?"

That cold face was full of majesty.

Zheng Qiuyu looked at his officials and frowned: "Even if the Liao army comes, our horses have rested and are waiting for work. If they can't beat them, can they still run away? That's a pig! Since it's a pig, it should be slaughtered. If you eat meat, you deserve bad luck!”

After being sprayed with such vicious words once, the officials gave up.

Zheng Qiuyu looked at the other side carefully, and someone suggested, "Yunshi, why don't you demolish the boundary bridge?"

"What are you doing to dismantle it?" Zheng Qiuyu said dissatisfied: "If we dismantle it, both sides will be broken."

"The Luck Envoy is broken now!"

Everyone felt that this transport envoy was really a bold thief, and they wished they could change to a higher official immediately.

"Demolish it..." Zheng Qiuyu sneered: "That's a guilty conscience. The boundary bridge is here, connecting the two sides. The Liao people can also demolish it, but why don't they demolish it? Because they will demolish it only if they are afraid that the other party will follow the boundary bridge to cross the river. Bridge, do you understand?

Is Da Song afraid of them? Don't be afraid! What to do if you dismantle it? Yelu Hongji will come if he dares, and I will wait for him on Hebei Road. "

The sergeants on both sides were staring at the other side. One of them, holding a telescope, suddenly shouted: "The Liao army has been discovered!"

The officials immediately panicked and drew their swords one after another.

"Don't panic!"

Zheng Qiuyu got a telescope and took a look, "There are only about ten people, that..."

He turned back to the general who was following him and said, "Go across the boundary bridge and bring back a few heads."

The officials all wanted to cry.

The Liao army looked like there were more than ten people, but what about behind?

If there is a large group of cavalry behind, this number of people will not be enough for them.

It's really terrible to follow such a boss!

The general nodded, "Take orders."

"Attack!"

More than a hundred Song troops rushed across the boundary bridge, but the dozen or so Liao troops did not even hide, and just strangled each other straight.

Not long after, all these Liao troops were strangled. The Song troops who were harvesting heads heard the sound of horse hooves. When they looked up, they couldn't help but feel the souls of the dead.

More than two thousand Liao cavalry are coming in a frantic manner.

The heads of the Song army were valuable, and even more valuable if captured alive.

Yelu Hongji wanted to use this method to boost morale, and it seems to be really effective so far.

"Run away!"

There is nothing to say, the only option at this time is to run away.

More than a hundred Song troops crossed the border river on horseback, and Zheng Qiuyu was pondering the recent situation.

"Don't be afraid of the Liao people. If they go south, no matter whether there is a boundary river or not, they can't stop them. Just turn back and let the Xiongzhou front line strengthen their guard. If the Liao army goes south, report the news as soon as possible. I will personally lead the army to come to the rescue. Even if Yelu Hongji comes, I will slap him too..."

Zheng Qiuyu is cheering everyone up.

Someone pointed behind him, "Yunshi..."

Zheng Qiuyu glanced at this person and felt extremely dissatisfied.

"Envoy..."

The officials all looked behind him, their voices trembling.

Zheng Qiuyu turned around and saw more than a hundred Song troops running wildly.

"There are more than two thousand enemy troops...run!"

Damn it!

More than two thousand.

And there were only a few hundred of them.

Zheng Qiuyu said calmly: "Take a look."

"Envoy!" An official risked his life by slapping his horse's butt.

The war horse neighed and ran away.

Zheng Qiuyu, who was observing the enemy troops, almost fell off his horse. Just as he was about to yell and scold, the Song army behind him came up.

"Run!"

"Yun Envoy, don't stop, go all the way to Xiongzhou!"

The riding skills of those soldiers can crush the officials, but in order to protect them, they can only stay at the back.

Zheng Qiuyu shouted angrily: "Send someone to Xiongzhou to report the news, UU read www.uukanshu.net and tell them to be on guard!"

So more than ten cavalrymen were separated from the cavalry, and gradually passed away from the main group.

"My riding skills..."

Only then did Zheng Qiuyu realize that his riding skills were scumbag.

The Liao army is constantly approaching.

Zheng Qiuyu cursed: "Prepare crossbows and attack them."

This guy's courage is really great.

But no one under his command obeyed his orders and just ran away.

It’s frustrating!

Anyone who is brave hates being aggrieved, and this is the case for Zheng Qiuyu.

"There are enemy troops ahead!"

The official at the front looked up and saw thousands of horsemen approaching, and couldn't help but scream.

This is the rhythm to be surrounded!

Zheng Qiuyu took a closer look on the horse and cursed: "Are you blind? These are our people, turn around and kill them!"

The Song Army came. After discovering the situation here, they began to speed up.

Zheng Qiuyu wanted to turn around and attack the Liao army, but the officials under his command slapped him on the butt again and did not give him a chance.

"I'll kill you later!"

Zheng Qiuyu yelled and cursed, and the Song army on the opposite side got closer and closer.

"This is……"

Zheng Qiuyu stared blankly at the cavalry at the front, and said absently: "It's the black armor!"

"It's Shen Longtu who's here."

"Shen Longtu is here."

A burst of cheers broke out among the fleeing Song army, and someone shouted: "Turn around, let's attack the Liao people from the side!"

After seeing Shen An, everyone burst out with great courage.

At the forefront of the Song army, Shen An pointed at the Liao troops, "Kill a few more and tell Yelu Hongji that I am here."
