A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 529: The Pride of Xiongzhou

At the top of Xiongzhou City, Qian Yi and Rao Chunlai were drinking.

"...The Liao people definitely have an ambush."

Rao Chunlai has always adhered to this view, but Shen An refused to let people from the Imperial City Division explore the road, which made him very helpless.

Qian Yi didn't like the Imperial City Division. He felt that the yamen was black and so were the people.

"I used to think that the people in your Imperial City Department were all black and didn't like to get close to them."

"Black!"

Rao Chunlai nodded and said: "The people of the Imperial City Division are hiding in the darkness. When they are exposed, they are no longer qualified to work, because it will cost you your life... However, remember the last time Shen An came to Xiongzhou, Kill me... I had a conversation with him that time, and he said..."

Rao Chunlai looked up at the purple in the sky and said seriously: "A certain person often complained before and always wanted to go back to Bianliang. After listening to his words..."

He raised his glass, and Qian Yi couldn't help but raise his glass too.

He said with a sacred face: "He said to me very seriously at that time, 'You are in darkness just to let the Song Dynasty have more light.' Me believed what he said, so I felt very... proud, because Someone is working for the Song Dynasty, and those who walk under the light, they all owe something to someone... and to those brothers."

He raised his head and drank, Qian Yi followed.

Qian Yi is a civil servant, so he doesn't have much experience with the so-called life and death.

"I have always been a civil servant, but I was not happy to come to Xiongzhou. In the past, I thought that fighting was just one thing. The so-called spies must have pointy ears and monkey cheeks, and they are extremely wretched. Only when you see them can you realize that they are all ordinary people. people."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Shen An knew before that there was an ambush outside the city, but still left the city without hesitation. Someone... was shocked in his heart. He didn't know what it was, so he thought of a sentence... no hesitation!"

"This is Xiongzhou. After seeing the domineering Liao people, I realized that the Song Dynasty was full of crises."

Qian Yi sighed: "The Chanyuan Alliance is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. It made the Song Dynasty forget the danger..."

"Zhizhou, the time has come, the time has come to open the city gates!"

There are many more sergeants on the city tonight. This is to guard against accidents.

Qian Yi stood up suddenly, but almost fell down because of the stiffness of his body.

Rao Chunlai was more flexible than him, so he helped him and said with a smile: "If Zhizhou wants to practice, just tell me that the Imperial City Division has a way to strengthen the body..."

There were already many people in the city. Qian Yi felt a little dizzy. He said: "Among these people...how many are Liao people's spies?"

"No less than ten people."

This is a conservative estimate for Yao Chunlai. In fact, it will definitely be more.

"These people are in a hurry to report the news. No wonder Shen An left the city overnight..."

Qian Yi waved his hand, and someone shouted: "Open the city gate!"

The city gate slowly opened, and the people and soldiers standing in the dim doorway were covered in light. They couldn't help but stretched out their hands to cover their eyes...

"Someone..."

There was an exclamation from the top of the city, and everyone put down their hands and looked sideways at the light.

Yiqi came alone.

The knight on the horse was holding a flag, but it was difficult to see clearly because of the side light.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, the flags rustled in the morning wind, and someone exclaimed: "Mangshan Army!"

"Mangshan Army!"

When the Mangshan Army left the city last night, some people questioned where they were from the Mangshan Army, and there were many accusations in their words.

This is to blame them for being unable to drive away those Liao troops.

The soldiers of Xiongzhou could only sit back and watch the enemy troops take care of themselves. What kind of bullshit soldiers are they?

The people have grievances, so they need to vent them.

But Shen An was not angry, and just replied, "You will know."

What does it mean?

The cavalry came quickly and reined in their horses at the city gate.

The war horse stood up with a long neigh. The cavalryman clamped the horse's belly with his legs. After the horse's hooves landed again, he shouted: "Our army was ambushed by thieves last night..."

Qian Yi and Rao Chunlai, who were on the top of the city, immediately felt their bodies become cold, and even their hands and feet were icy.

The morning wind was very cool, but this coolness turned into cold at this moment.

Several people in the crowd couldn't help but laugh. The people in the Imperial City Division were so lost that they didn't even notice the abnormality of these people.

"...the enemy's army of more than 500 cavalry was chasing and fighting with our army..."

More than five hundred to a little more than one hundred...

There was silence within the city gate, and an aura of despair filled the air.

Those rural soldiers are all descendants of Xiongzhou, and they are all our relatives!

"My son..."

Some people fainted, and some wanted to roar, but they didn't have time.

The cavalryman looked up at the city head and said: "The enemy troops will be completely destroyed!"

The woman who was just about to faint suddenly became energetic. The man who was about to roar suppressed his voice and coughed uncomfortably.

Before those happy faces could turn into depression, they were stared at by the people from the Imperial City Division.

"Total annihilation?"

Qian Yi felt that he must be hungover, so he supported the city bricks and said, "Someone drank too much, so-and-so must have drank too much."

Rao Chunlai is a professional, and he will not make mistakes in hearing, so he leaned out and shouted: "Where is Shen An? Where is the imperial edict? How many casualties are there? Do you want a doctor and a cart?"

This series of questions all get to the point. Rao Chunlai's ability to remain calm in a moment of ecstasy should not be underestimated.

The rural soldiers below the city were about to speak, but someone shouted: "They are back."

A group of cavalry appeared from the north with the sun.

The sun shines in from the east, and the armor that has been processed into black shines brightly.

"many……"

A sergeant on the top of the city screamed: "They are not missing, not missing!"

This man is known as Xiongzhou's first sighter and has excellent eyesight, so when he shouts, everyone can't help but look carefully.

"One, two..."

impossible!

Qian Yi was shaking his head. He thought it was impossible.

If the Song Dynasty wanted to completely annihilate the more than 500 elite Liao troops, they would have to mobilize at least 2,000 cavalry.

But the Mangshan army only had more than a hundred people, how could they all be wiped out?

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"

He stayed up all night and drank all night because he was worried that the Mangshan army would be destroyed by the Liao people.

Now that the entire Mangshan Army has returned, it must be that they have never encountered the enemy, or they have encountered the enemy, but they escaped alertly.

"Yes, last time in Nanjing Road, the Mangshan Army escaped from the encirclement and attack by the army. Okay, okay!"

"They have more than a hundred horses, and they are good horses!"

Someone was shouting, and Qian Yi became more and more confused.

"Where did the horse come from?"

"came back."

The relatives of those rural soldiers were cheering and cheering. What kind of enemy? At this moment, they only have their own relatives in their eyes.

The cavalry arrived with a bang, with Shen An at the forefront. He reined in his horse and waved.

Several rural soldiers came carrying sacks.

They opened the sack and poured something out...

Pieces of things fell on the ground, and an old dog outside the city gate rushed over, chewed up a piece, and ran toward the city.

Someone saw the thing it was biting and shouted: "Oh my god, it's an ear, it's a human ear..."

As Shen An rode his horse towards the city, the people stepped out of the way, and their eyes gradually became more frightened.

"Not one of them is missing, they are all back!"

Someone finally counted the number of people, and those looks turned into awe.

What's this?

A hundred men attacked and were attacked, but escaped unharmed, and how many enemies were killed?

Someone with bad intentions ran over and pulled his ears with branches.

When Shen An entered the city, Qian Yi and Rao Chunlai were already waiting.

"Awaiting the edict..."

The two of them looked at him carefully. Shen An stretched out his hands and said with a smile, "Nothing happened."

Qian Yi asked excitedly: "How many people?"

"Five hundred and thirty-nine people."

Oh My God!

Qian Yi couldn't help but said in fear: "I escaped with my whole body..."

The rural soldiers who entered the city were surrounded by their relatives, and all kinds of problems arose.

"This is confidential and cannot be said."

"Dad, you can't say it. If you do, you will be punished."

"There are spies from the Liao people in the city, we can't tell."

The rural soldiers did not say anything, but some people in the crowd had disappointment in their eyes.

"Five hundred and thirty-eight ears...one of them was taken away by a dog."

The number of ears was finally counted outside the city, triggering another round of cheers.

"Those damn thieves deserve to die!"

"Be proud of yourself. I intercepted and killed businessmen everywhere, and even specifically killed the merchants of the Song Dynasty. All of them must be dead now."

Cheers were everywhere, but then questions emerged.

One hundred people kill five hundred people, this...

"Awaiting the edict..."

"This is……"

Faced with surprise, Shen An said calmly: "Just kill him."

As for how to kill...

"Led them to the river. They couldn't see clearly in the darkness. The enemy troops fell into the river beach. Our army took advantage of the situation and fired crossbows... Later, we surrounded them and killed them. No one escaped."

Rao Chunlai said excitedly: "I was surrounded and killed at night, but I was able to calmly arrange it and defeat the strong with the weak... Waiting for the imperial edict, the Liao people are going crazy!"

The Liao people will definitely go crazy!

Five hundred people surrounded and killed a hundred people, and were finally killed. When the news spread, the civil and military officials of Nanjing Road were in trouble.

Some will go crazy, some will not believe it, but they will all be unlucky.

Yelu Hongji would be furious, and then drive the unlucky ones further to the grassland to manage the barbarians.

"Leave the city without hesitation, this is righteousness."

Qian Yi said excitedly: "Not being frightened when encountering the enemy is courage. Luring the enemy into a trap is wisdom... Waiting for Zhao, the famous generals in ancient times were nothing more than this. I am convinced by Waiting for Zhao's martial arts abilities."

He bowed deeply, and Rao Chunlai followed.

People around him all bowed to congratulate the young man who walked out of Xiongzhou.

"A certain person is from Xiongzhou."

Shen An bowed his hands in greeting, and the people couldn't help but feel ashamed when they remembered the doubts of those people last night.

"Xiongzhou sinks!"

"Xiongzhou sinks!"

"Xiongzhou sinks!"

In the pre-Han Dynasty, people paid attention to origin and family status. Where were you born and what was your family background like...

These can explain your status.

Today, one no longer relies on family background to determine one's future, but people with a good family background can still be recognized and envied by everyone.

Xiongzhou is not a famous place and there are not many famous people, so it was Shen An who was trying to take advantage of Xiongzhou's reputation.

But things are different now, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Shen An's future is booming, and gradually Xiongzhou can no longer match his identity and status. At this time, everyone remembers that Xiongzhou is proud to have this Toi Zhao.

In the past, Shen An went out and claimed to be Xiongzhou Shen.

But now things have changed. What people from Xiongzhou want to say when they go out is... Shen An is from Xiongzhou!

You do not believe?

His father was Shen Bian, the former magistrate of Xiongzhou.

His knighthood was in Guixin County!

Where is Guixin County?

The seat of Xiongzhou City is in Guixin County!

In this way, Shen An suddenly transformed and became the pride of Xiongzhou.

Double monthly pass! Everyone, take a look at the ticket warehouse and give the man a few votes. ∠(`ω′*) salute
