Chapter 42 Exogenous Branches

Lang Tan, who thought that things were perfect, often made mistakes, and thought that he could escape unscathed according to the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty, never thought that he would have to accept the challenges of the Xixia people.

The dead Xixia man was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Wei Zang of the Xixia Empress Dowager. The things that had been decided in the Song Dynasty turned out to be turbulent again. The envoy of Xixia Ning Taigu knelt in front of the palace gate, posing a knife in front of him, and ordered people to present the knife to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, there was a sentence: "If this knife cannot cut off the murderer's head, please cut off my head!"

The tone is decisive and unquestionable.

After knowing the identity of the deceased, everyone could only smile bitterly. The Song Dynasty and Xixia are now discussing the alliance. Although it seems embarrassing, this matter cannot be ignored. Xixia needs time to heal the wounds. The Song Dynasty has been hurt by continuous disasters over the years, and it also takes time to comfort the world. Therefore, this matter is in full swing.

This time, Xixia was extremely sincere. Not only did the Catching Life Army never appear again, but even the Security Army, the Jianing Military Office of the Xixia, the Xiangyou Military Office of Shizhou, and the Shenyong Military Office of the Left Xiang retreated for two hundred miles. A lot of military forts were abandoned in the middle, and the military pressure faced by the Song Dynasty became much easier in an instant.

The nephew of Wuzang's family actually came to the Song Dynasty as a hostage. Now he died unexpectedly before he could be a hostage. I'm afraid no explanation would be unreasonable.

When Shao Dongyuan, the Minister of Justice and the Scholar of Fuwen Pavilion, put the verdict of the Song Dynasty in front of Ning Taigu, Ning Taigu laughed loudly and ate the verdict written on thickened paper one by one, and said with red eyes: "Present before the army? Where to send the verdict? Under Yun Zheng's command? Do you think such a judgment is valid for them?

Yun Zheng is a shameless villain. I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin. He is the mortal enemy of my Xixia monarch and minister. Such a judgment will only increase their arrogance.

Since the Xixia army can retreat two hundred miles, it can naturally advance two hundred miles. Although our country is exhausted now, as long as I avenge the cause and effect of this matter, I believe that those generals who have been deceived by Yun Zheng will definitely share the same hatred for the enemy, and even if there are any great difficulties, they will overcome them and vow to take revenge!"

Shao Dong Yuanxiu set out and said, "What do you think is the right way to deal with it? These people are all heroes of the Song Dynasty and cannot be killed. You, Xixia, don't have the habit of killing heroes at any time? Besides, the one who started the fight first was that Wuzang's family was stabbed by porcelain during the fight. This was something that no one expected!"

Ning Taigu took out his hand that was huddled in his sleeve, and handed a copy of the song to Shao Dongyuan and said, "Since everyone has a reason, then use blood to prove who is correct."

Shao Dongyuan took it and looked at it, frowned and said, "You plan to fight thirty warriors with them? Isn't it a one-on-one fight?"

Ning Taigu knelt down again and said expressionlessly: "The warriors of Xixia can be killed in battle, but they cannot die inexplicably. Thirty people are against thirty people. If we are defeated, I will definitely not say a word and defend their territory according to the previous agreement with the State of Song. If you are defeated, this hatred will naturally disappear and collapse. The contract will naturally leave as agreed before."

Shao Dongyuan nodded and said, "I know your wishes. I don't know how the envoy intends to select personnel from his subordinates? If all you choose are elite soldiers, how will the thirty soldiers from Wusheng Army who come to deliver letters be your opponent?"

Ning Taigu laughed and said, "I brought not many entourages this time. There were only more than 180 people, but they were all warriors from the Black Mountain Military Division. You can choose twenty-nine people at will, and then I will assign a team official."

Shao Dongyuan left with a smile. It could be heard from the words of the Western Xia envoys that their desire to calm the war was stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. Since it was not harmful to the overall situation, a contract would be signed no matter what the contract was. The remaining choices were not difficult. There were only thirty soldiers, and the court decided their destiny for them.

There was endless debate in the court, and Pang Ji, as the highest commander of the army, naturally did not solve the problem in such a rough way. Now the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were the ones who took advantage of the situation, and the solution was from the Song Dynasty's laws and regulations. This solution was very suitable, and there was no need to cause trouble, regardless of whether he liked the Wusheng Army or not. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty naturally had to follow the laws of the Song Dynasty and did not have to worry about the opinions of the Xixia people.

However, Zongmasa Sonmasa Zhao Yunrang disagreed with it, thinking that the right name would be unrighteous. The signing of a contract must be in line with the right time, place, people and people, effectively comply with it. Otherwise, such a contract would not be considered a contract that can convince both parties. Since Wu Shengjun killed someone first, it is not unacceptable to accept the challenge.

Zhao Zhen looked at his clan brother and said expressionlessly: "Since the opinions cannot be unified, let Wu Shengjun handle this matter himself. Whether to fight or leave depends on their voluntary policy, and retreat to the court!"

He left in a ninja with anger. I don’t know when he saw this clan brother’s anger out of control. The court cannot be turbulent now. All grudges must be handled after Di Qing and Yun Zheng make a result in Jiaozhi and Dali Kingdom. Zhao Zhen can still do this forbearance. As long as the thirty men from Wu Shengjun quickly leave the capital, the matter will be left in nothing and there is no need to discuss it.

The trick to drag the word has always been Zhao Zhen’s best skill, otherwise he would not have delayed the imperial court’s talent ceremony for twelve years.

Lang Tan slept in prison until noon, and the fatigue caused by the many days of running around disappeared without a trace. If he could take a pleasant hot bath and have a full meal at this time, he would have nothing to ask for.

He kicked his sleeping subordinates one by one with his feet. It would be enough to sleep until noon. No matter how much he slept, he would become even more tired. The person's body was like a beef tendon. There was a certain limit to stretching and contracting. He should neither be too tight nor too loose, otherwise it would be harmful to the body. This was not taught by Yun Zheng, but from family precepts.

Of course, there was no hot bath when you were in prison. In fact, there was no water for washing your face. It was already noon and the prison guards did not bring food. Lang Tan frowned and wanted to ask, but when the prison door opened, Bao Zheng walked into the prison and put a document in Lang Tan's hand and said to him: "Your verdict has been prepared. I guess you can think of it yourself, that is, you accidentally hurt someone's life. Although you are not a citizen of the Song Dynasty, God has the virtue of being a virtuous person. You are still guilty and sent to the army to serve. If you have no merits of the three transformations, you will not be forgiven. This is a common example. Have you ever been convinced?"

Lang Tan smiled and said, "Ming Gong has been fair since the Gregorian calendar. How can you not know about the humble position? Now I will go to Wuchao City to make meritorious contributions. This time, we are reckless and cause trouble for Ming Gong."

Bao Zheng stroked his beard and said, "There is another thing that I didn't need to tell you at first. I thought it was up to you to decide this matter. The envoy of Xixia Ning Taigu, Oh, his official position was also the Kaifeng Prefecture, but the Xingqing Prefecture of Xixia, whom the Quanxia mastered. The Xixia man you killed was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Weizang of the Xixia Queen Mother. Now they refused to give up. Ning Taigu proposed to fight you to a decisive battle with you. Thirty people were against thirty people, and he also said that the time and place were determined by you, but the matter was rejected by the Privy Councilor. Zongzhengsi believed that you should accept the challenge, and Your Majesty handed over the decision to yourself.

If you don’t want to, the documents and the seal sent back to your general have been placed in the inn. After leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, you will leave with the documents and seals, and you don’t have to pay attention to the entanglements of the Xixia people.”

Lang Tan smiled and bowed to the bow, then took his troops to the inn to check the letters he needed to bring back and various documents. Then he looked at his subordinates who were not far away from him and said, "What? Do you really want to fight against the people of Xixia?"

Sun San came to Lang Tan and said, "Others are afraid of the people of Xixia, but Jiaziying is not afraid. I have seen the people of Xixia fighting. If there is no gunpowder bullet, we are probably not the opponents of these people. But now it is different. We have continuous crossbow arrows, and we don't believe it, and we can't beat the people of Xixia. The general said that the Jiaziying equipped with gunpowder bullet should be the best-class strong army in the world.

Fighting with Jiaozhi people and Nong Zhigao, we can't show the power of Jiazi Camp. Junhou, let's fight in front of the Tokyoites. Since we broke into Tokyo, we might as well break out again. It would be nice to get a big name."

Niu Da followed and said, "The cavalry of the Xixia people only had a few moves. I don't believe that they would still carry powerful crossbows when they arrived in the Song Dynasty. Our equipment was neat. As the subordinate saw it just now, His Majesty returned our gunpowder bullets. In this situation, it is a good time to make a name for themselves."

Seeing his subordinates interrupting, Lang Tan smiled and said, "Then tell the Xixia people that we leave the city at sunset, and those who have the courage will come to Ximen to intercept it! The most important purpose of our military training is to deal with the Xixia people, the Khitan people, and it's better to test it!"

Seeing everyone standing up and applauding, Lang Tan said, "We can underestimate the enemy, but we cannot be careless. You are all people who have experienced many battles. You must not be careless at all. Although we have the advantage of martial arts, the riding and archery skills of the Xixia people cannot be underestimated. I suggest wearing all two armors to prevent accidents. This is the capital city. We don't have to care about consuming horsepower. As long as the rushing forward successfully, we will leave. The Xixia people will not dare to chase them!"

With the spread of those who are interested, the thirty soldiers of the Wusheng Army were preparing to penetrate the military formation composed of thirty Western Xia cavalry. In just a short time, the incident of the thirty soldiers of the Wusheng Army being prepared to penetrate the army.

The wine shop near Daliangmen was hard to find at dusk, and the luxurious restaurants even lowered the curtains, and I don’t know who was sitting inside.

Ning Taigu sat in the cave of the city gate of Daliangmen. In front of them were thirty cavalry full of armor. The long sword of Xueliang had been unsheathed and inserted diagonally behind him. The long weapons beside him were already hung on the Desheng hook and reached out to his hands. Now he was holding a series of strong bows. Those who knew a little about the bows and arrows could see that the strong bows in these people's hands were not less than three throttlings.

Especially the black-armored leader in the head, the strong bow on his hand actually reached a terrifying four chunks. What is even more shocking is that the long arrows in his archery bag are all in groups of three branches.

Han Lin saw this detail with a gloomy face, bowed to Zhao Zhen behind the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, there is one of the enemy soldiers who are the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Lang Tan and the others are not easy to pass."
