Fang Jinshi thought of Han Shizhong and thought it would be better to sell him a favor for such a good thing. Anyway, he didn't know other officers and soldiers of the Suide Army, so he said to Wang De: "I know a captain of the Suide Army, so why not invite him here? What do you think?" "
Wang De thought that he would not get any military merit, so he had no interest in it, so he casually said: "You and my brother go and call, I will guard here." After saying this, he was ready to lie down under the tree and prepare. After resting, Fang Jinshi agreed, and he and his entourage each rode a horse and went back to Suide to call the army.
The journey was not too far. When we arrived at the city gate, we asked the guards guarding the city about where Han Shizhong was now. He was a local celebrity and it was easy to ask. He said that he was digging trenches to build a military camp in the west of the city.
Fang Jinshi and his two men arrived in the west of the city again. This place was relatively remote. In a place that was originally a smelly ditch, hundreds of people and mercenaries were digging trenches and building houses. It was a busy scene. Fang Jinshi found a common person and asked him to He went to find Han Shizhong. After a while, he saw Han Shizhong walking through the crowd covered in mud and dust.
Wang De's follower felt funny when he saw this. He had never seen an officer who was already a captain still doing such work. Fang Jinshi was quite satisfied. At least today, although it was dirty, at least it tasted better than It was much smaller yesterday.
When Han Shizhong saw Fang Jinshi, he walked over with a smile and said, "It turns out to be my little brother. Look at me, I make you laugh. I wonder if you want to see me. What's the matter?"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just have some merit and I want to give it to Brother Han."
When Han Shizhong heard this, he said happily: "Have you found that horse?" Fang Jinshi shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that my brother found some traces of grass bandits, so he came over and asked the fifth brother to get it."
Han Shizhong was stunned and said: "What kind of robbers and bandits?" Fang Jinshi pretended to be relaxed and said casually as if it was a trivial matter: "It's just a dozen thieves who robbed homes. My younger brother also found out accidentally, so he came to report it to the five Brother." Han Shizhong hesitated and said, "Is it far?"
Fang Jinshi was startled when he heard what he said, and his impression of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty was greatly reduced. People like Han Shizhong were so careless about the bandits that they didn't even want to go far away, let alone other officers and soldiers? No wonder grass bandits like Shi Bin and Zhang Zong'e were able to live more and more comfortably in the Song Dynasty, and their teams grew stronger and stronger.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Han Shizhong: "It's only an hour's journey on horseback. I saw that the thieves brought two big wooden boxes. I think they got a lot of good goods. Besides, these thieves were on their way last night." , I¡¯m sleeping now, if Brother Five goes forward, he¡¯ll be able to catch him.¡±
When Han Shizhong heard the two big wooden boxes, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "I will tell General Xie Liang to go. These thieves are becoming more and more bold and dare to come to Suide" He left after saying this.
Fang Jinshi understood that Han Shizhong was not willing to go. He only wanted to go when he heard that he had "two big wooden boxes". He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This thing was not good for him at all. He just thought that he was a citizen of the Song Dynasty. If they cannot go into battle to kill the enemy and contribute to the country, they should belong to the "mobilized masses". Let these bandit mountain kings "fall into the vast sea of ??people's war". However, this official army really will not go there without any benefit.
Not long after, Han Shizhong came out with a group of people. There were about fifty or sixty people. Most of them had faces and clothes covered with mud, but everyone had a horse.
Fang Jinshi originally thought of leading at least hundreds of Song troops, wearing bright uniforms and showing off their power, but he never thought that it would just be a small group of people with the same appearance. He was extremely disappointed and couldn't cheer up, so he had to be lazy. He led the way and told Han Shizhong the general situation along the way, but he didn't say that he was suspicious because he heard the word "red girl". Han Shizhong's heart beat when he heard his words:
Thisare these really bandits?
No matter what, I always have to take a look. Han Shizhong led people to follow Fang Jinshi and ride horses all the way to the place where Wang De was resting. Wang De was leaning on the big tree, holding a grass root in his mouth and looking leisurely at the occasional people passing by on the road. Woman, Fang Jinshi introduced Han Shizhong to Wang De, and both of them greeted each other. Their ranks were similar, but Wang De smiled secretly when he saw the clothes of the soldiers led by Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong didn't care either. He knew that although the Wuyuan Army was in a stalemate with the Liao Dynasty, it had not fought for many years except recently. The armies in the northwest were not fighting Xixia today and fighting Tubo tomorrow. Even those with money would be impoverished. .
Fang Jinshi didn't expect the thoughts of the two captains. He asked Wang De, "Have these people ever come out?" Wang De smiled and shook his head. Han Shizhong said, "Then let's plan how to attack." Wang De said, "There's no need to plan for these thieves. They can just surround them and kill them directly."
Although Han Shizhong was a rogue,He was not reckless in fighting, but he didn't want to be underestimated by the five original captains at this time, so he stopped insisting. With a move of his hand, the dozens of Song soldiers dismounted and Fang Jinshi led the way. Arriving at the deserted house, Han Shizhong raised his hand and surrounded the house.
Although Wang De felt that he was not interested in military achievements before, he had a martial heart. Once there was a battle, he would become more motivated and would not talk nonsense. He opened the way and strode forward with a single sword. Han Shizhong was not willing to give in and took the lead. Side by side to him and inward.
There were still a few feet away from the courtyard, and someone noticed that someone shouted: "Who is it?" Han Shizhong shouted: "The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty are here. They are not allowed to move around. Anyone who violates will not be punished." Those soldiers of the Song Dynasty also shouted loudly, with great momentum.
Fang Jinshi didn't dare to follow too fast. He heard shouts inside, but he didn't hear the sound of swords and guns clashing. He walked a few steps and entered the courtyard, only to see that the officers and soldiers had already gathered the dozen or so soldiers. A rickshaw driver gathered around a courtyard. The dozen or so people were all squatting on the ground. Some of them had puffy eyes, as if they had not yet woken up.
The black-faced man at the head was explaining something to Han Shizhong and showed Han Shizhong something. Han Shizhong didn't say anything. After listening for a while, he walked up to Fang Jinshi and said, "Is there any mistake? These people are for Yong." The people who were transporting grain and grass to the Xingjun army not only had road guides, but also had access tokens for the Yongxing army, and they did not find any wooden boxes or weapons."
Fang Jinshi was right in thinking, but when these people heard the noise, they hid the wooden box of weapons, but where could they hide it? He couldn't help but look around, and when he looked, he saw someone coming.
This man held his head in his hands and squatted next to a large car. He was wearing a gray shirt and had not said a word since the beginning. He was full of beard, tall and looked a bit fierce, but at this time he was like a turtle with a shrunken head. Usually, they hide at the very back of these coachmen with their heads lowered. But just now they occasionally looked up and immediately lowered their heads again. But this time they raised their heads, Fang Jinshi could see them.
As soon as Fang Jinshi saw this person, he couldn't help but let out an "ah ha" and laughed out loud. This person looked so distinctive. Otherwise, Fang Jinshi might not have remembered him in a hurry. This person was the one who gave Shi Bin that night. Lu Xin, the general of the right army, came up with the idea to let Fang Jinshi continue to pretend to be a woman to lure away those "Xixia Liuyong" Xiao Linya.
Fang Jinshi stepped forward proudly, walked up to Xiao Linya, grabbed his collar from behind and lifted it up, saying loudly: "Brother Han Wu, I recognize this man. He belongs to Shi Bin, the great robber outside Wuxiu Pass." My subordinate, named Xiao Linya, can¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±
When he said these words, Xiao Linya's face suddenly turned pale. Xiao Linya no longer recognized him. Although he recognized him, he did not remember where he had seen him.
After hearing this, Wang De and Han Shizhong looked at each other with joy on their faces.
I just heard someone in the group of coachmen whisper: "Let's do it." These coachmen seemed to have received an order. Several fierce men stood up and pounced on the surrounding Song soldiers with their bare hands. However, these Song soldiers had already Be alert, there are many people and weapons, except for a few people who were punched and kicked a few times, the dozen or so coachmen were instantly cut down and stabbed to death, and the rest were either injured and wailing, or lying on the ground Song Bing pinned him to the ground motionless.
The leader, the black-faced man, sighed and said, "That's all." After being captured, several Song soldiers stepped forward and tied up these people, including Xiao Linya, with ropes. Han Shizhong stepped forward and asked Xiao Linya: "Are you from the Liao Kingdom? Are you Lin Ya?"
Xiao Linya held his head high and said loudly: "Yes, I am the Lulong Festival Envoy of the Nanjing Road of Daliao and the northern marching officer Linya. I am also Linya Xiaobu of the Dashi Army!" What he said was very impressive, and Fang Jinshi But he was confused and didn't understand what was going on with Lin Ya on the left and Lin Ya on the right. However, he heard that this man's name was actually Xiao Bu.
However, Han Shizhong and Wang De understood clearly that Lin Ya Dashi, the envoy of Lulong Jiedushi on the Nanjing Road of the Liao Dynasty and an officer in the northern march, was Yelu Dashi, the general of the Liao Kingdom. He was the eighth grandson of the founding emperor of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Abaoji. De, because he ranked first in the scientific examination and was honored by the Imperial Academy, he was called Linya Dashi. At this time, he was leading his troops to fight hard against the Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens.
Wang De was even more aware that the Wuyuan Army had dispatched part of the army to go north not long ago and participated in the defeat of Luanshi Gang.
Because the Jin Kingdom founded by the Jurchen tribe and the Song Dynasty signed a maritime alliance at sea, they wanted to jointly deal with the Liao Dynasty. When they sent troops, the former Liao Zhuozhou guard Guo Yaoshi rebelled and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which made the Song Dynasty full of ambitions. Song general Liu Yanqing led his troops out of Xiongzhou and entered Xincheng. His third son, Liu Guangshi, left Ansu and entered Yizhou. The two armies met in Zhuozhou. At that time, Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi only had 20,000 troops, and they deployed defenses along the Lugou River. However, the Song army had 200,000 to 300,000 people. The two sides faced each other and fought on a rocky hill, with no victory or defeat. Hou Guo's pharmacist first suffered a small defeat at the hands of Xiao Qian. The Song army was in panic. Thinking that the Liao army was counterattacking, they burned the camp and fled. They killed each other and abandoned them.All military supplies had been lost since Xifeng. The Song army was defeated in an awkward manner, and Xiao Qian's victory over Yelu Dashi was inexplicable. He never expected that this victory would come so easily.
But he didn¡¯t expect that in this northwest place, Lin Ya, one of Yelu Dashi¡¯s subordinates, would be caught. Although Lin Ya was a civilian official, he was an official of the military organization, and his official position was also extremely important.
Wang De and Han Shizhong were both extremely happy. Not to mention these thieves, just catching Lord Lin Ya who had sneaked into the Song Dynasty was also a great achievement.
