Soon the Liangshan soldiers brought Shi Wengong's bow and arrows.
Chao Yong did not look at the well-made strong bow, but instead pulled out an arrow from the arrow pot.
There are three words "Shi Wengong" on the arrow shaft. When you look at the arrow, it is polished and bright. The color is no different from ordinary arrows, but you can't tell whether it is poisonous or not.
Chao Gai was killed by an arrow in Water Margin. Chao Yong felt it was a bit strange. Therefore, after catching Shi Wengong, Chao Yong's first reaction was to look at his bow and arrow.
Chao Yong couldn't see why he was here, so he asked someone to bring Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong was a little unruly. Although he was kidnapped by Wu Hua Da, he still held his head high.
Li Kui saw Shi Wengong looking at people with his nostrils and couldn't help but cursed: "There must be something wrong with this guy's neck. I'll treat it for him."
With that said, he went up with an ax to chop down Shi Wengong.
"Tieniu, don't be ridiculous."
Chao Yong dismissed Li Kui and personally stepped forward to untie Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong saw that everyone was surrounding Chao Yong before, and also knew that Chao Yong was the little overlord Chao Yong who was the coach this time. He frowned and said: "If you are defeated and captured, kill him if you want. If the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably be in front of the battle." Death, Shi Mou was well prepared before going into battle."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "You and I, Liangshan, have no enmity. We had some fights before, but they were each their own masters. After everyone in the village returned, they often talked about your bravery. I, Liangshan, are looking for talented people to do justice for heaven. That's right." We need heroes like teachers. If teachers don¡¯t think we are vulgar, why don¡¯t you join us and do some good work.¡±
Shi Wengong had no idea of ??loyalty to the imperial court. He had wandered around the world for many years, and worked as a teacher in Zengtou City, which also helped the Zeng family five tigers become a local hegemon. His temperament was more like that of a person in the world. Seeing Chao Yong's courtesy, he agreed to join the group.
Chao Yong saw that Shi Wengong had joined the gang, so he asked people to bring all Shi Wengong's weapons and return them to Shi Wengong. At the same time, he asked: "I once heard that your arrows were poisonous. Is this possible?"
There are many heroes in Liangshan who use hidden weapons, such as Zhang Qing's flying stone, Li Ying's flying knife, Luan Tingyu's hammer, Li Gun's javelin, Xiang Chong's flying knife, Gong Wang's flying spear, and Ding De's flying fork, but no one poisons the hidden weapons. Hearing Chao Yong's question, they couldn't help but look at Shi Wengong suspiciously.
When Shi Wengong heard this, he immediately changed his expression and said: "I don't know who slandered me like this. I, Shi Wengong, dare not say that everything is aboveboard, but I also don't bother to use poison and such dirty tricks. Every arrow shaft of mine is engraved with Shi Wengong San." The word is to make the enemy understand how to poison him again. "
Hearing this, Chao Yong nodded and said: "I have also heard Dong Ping and Hua Rong talk about your bow and arrow. Your archery skills do not require medicine. It seems that there are many rumors in the world."
Putting it this way, the arrow in the Chao Gai in Water Margin was most likely shot by Song Jiang. It seems that Song Jiang knew that Shi Wengong's arrows were all engraved with names, so he made such an arrow to blame, and even This arrow belongs to Shi Wengong. With the methods of the times, it may not be difficult to touch an arrow from Shi Wengong.
When Chao Gai heard that Shi Qian had been caught stealing chickens, his first reaction was that Shi Qian had tarnished the reputation of Liangshan heroes and almost killed his colleagues Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong. Although he was persuaded by Song Jiang later. But after rescuing Shi Qian, I'm afraid he won't have a good impression of Shi Qian. Song Jiang not only stopped Chao Gai from killing Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong, but also personally led troops to break through Zhujiazhuang and rescued Shi Qian. If Shi Qian had to choose between the two, it would undoubtedly be Song Jiang.
"If Shi Wengong's arrows were just ordinary arrows, the person who put the blame would not be stupid enough to engrave the words "Shi Wengong". That way, as long as someone is suspicious, they will know after a little inquiry that they are not Shi Wengong's arrows.
As for whether the arrow was drugged or not, it can be attributed to Shi Wengong's design to earn money from Chao Gai, and then he deliberately drugged the arrow to kill the leader of Liangshan.
Chao Gai fell into a trap and was led into Zengtou City. He fell into an ambush. When he was withdrawing his troops along the original route, he bumped into an army horse and was shot with an arrow. Naturally, it could be Shi Wengong leading an ambush, or it could be the troops who were originally hiding in the rear of Liangshan.
After Chao Gai was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, he was protected by San Ruan, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng and killed him.
If Shi Wengong really led his men to intercept, Qin Ming's martial arts skills could only resist Shi Wengong for twenty rounds before being defeated. If the three heroes of the Ruan family, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng did not leave a few to resist, they would not be injured. I'm afraid it's impossible to protect Chao Gai out.
It is very likely that the Biao army and horses did not dare to fight with them face to face, at least no general dared to come out to intercept them.
When Chao Yong thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had killed Song Jiang so early. Otherwise, the black man had hidden evil intentions, and there was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If he was not careful, he might have been plotted against himself.
Seeing Chao Yong deep in thought, Shi Wengong pulled out an arrow and stabbed his arm.
Chao?Seeing Shi Wengong's movements, he quickly grabbed Shi Wengong's wrist and said, "Teacher, what are you doing?"
Shi Wengong couldn¡¯t say that he saw Chao Yong¡¯s disbelief, so he smiled and said: ¡°Shi does not know where this rumor came from, but it is unfounded. Shi is willing to prove his innocence, so that everyone will not have any doubts.¡±
Chao Yong smiled and said: "How can we not believe what the teacher said? Just now I was wondering if I could take advantage of the situation to win Zengtou City. How many miles is it from Zengtou City?"
Shi Wengong felt relieved after hearing Chao Yong's words. He shook his head and said: "It's about twenty-five miles away, but Zengtou City has already set up many hidden sentries. I'm afraid the war here has spread back to Zengtou City. Elder Zeng must have already Be prepared, it¡¯s getting late now, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to break into Zengtou City today.¡±
Hearing this, Chao Yong had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and seize Zengtou City, and ordered the army to approach Wulixia Village of Zengtou City.
It is only said that when Elder Zeng learned that Shi Wengong and Zeng Sheng were all captured alive by Liangshan, and that the entire army of one thousand men was almost wiped out, he was immediately frightened and panicked, and hurriedly asked the remaining one thousand men in Zengtou City to guard the stockade.
Now there are two stockades in Zengtou City. There was originally a stockade guarding the entrance of Zengtou City. After Shi Wengong burned Fahua Temple last time, Elder Zeng was afraid that Liangshan soldiers and horses would attack again, so he built another stockade on the mountain of Fahua Temple. Stockade, guard that path.
Yelu Dashi stood on a high hill and looked at the Zengtou City soldiers and horses who were gradually approaching the encirclement. As long as they moved five miles forward, the Zengtou City elites could be captured in one fell swoop. This also meant that they would be hunted by Zengtou City over the years. Liao Qi has taken revenge and removed Zeng Toushi's nail, and his prestige in the army will be further improved.
This legendary figure of the Liao Kingdom was already thirty-four years old at this time. His appearance was as rough as that of most Khitans, but his temperament exuded gave people a sense of elegance, rather than the toughness of ordinary Khitans.
Five years ago, 29-year-old Yelu Dashi took part in the palace examination and won first place.
The imperial examination system of the Liao State was based on the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty and absorbed some systems of the Song Dynasty. The examination content was the same as that of the Song Dynasty.
For the Khitan people who were good at horseback riding and archery, it was obviously very difficult to write and write, so the candidates for the imperial examination were basically Han people from the north.
Yelu Dashi not only entered the palace examination, but also won the first place, and Yelu Dashi's skill in riding and shooting was not inferior to ordinary Khitan warriors. Therefore, Yelu Dashi quickly became the pride of the Khitan people.
Yelu Dashi was also from a royal family, so he had a prosperous official career. This year, he was promoted to Xingjun Jiedushi due to his merits.
Yelu Dashi's territory was opposite Cangzhou. The talented Yelu Dashi naturally knew that the Liao Kingdom was in turmoil at this time. The north was being defeated by the Jin Kingdom, and cities were being lost every day. It wouldn't take long, I'm afraid. The troops defending the Song Kingdom in the south will also be sent to the north to fight against the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, as soon as he took office, he began to mobilize his troops and learned about the situation in Zengtou City.
Originally, after the Liao and Song Dynasties signed the Chanyuan Alliance, the Liao cavalry also reduced cross-border raids and raids in the grass valleys. However, in recent years, the war with the Jin Kingdom has become tense.
Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty was a faint emperor like the Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty. He trusted Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Deli and other sycophants. He changed the Nabo system to safari. He spent most of the year on safari and lived a desolate and luxurious life.
At the beginning of the founding of the Liao Dynasty, although there was a fixed capital, its political core was not in the capital, but in Nabo, which was the palace. This is because the Khitan people, the main ethnic group of the Liao Dynasty, are nomadic people who live in pursuit of water and grass all year round. If the emperor is fixed in the capital to handle political affairs, sometimes it takes a long time just to deliver news back and forth. The Liao Kingdom was composed of many tribes, and tribal fights occurred from time to time, so the emperor of the Liao Kingdom established the Nabo system.
They patrol at four times every year, and each has its own place, which is called Nabo. All major political issues are decided at any time in Nabo, which is the administrative center for handling government affairs.
The emperor also followed the tribe to live in the water and grass, so as to facilitate the affairs of the tribe.
However, as the Liao Kingdom later developed, its territory included deserts, including the Great Wall, and its territory was larger than that of the Song Dynasty. Especially after the capture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, a large number of Han people were farming, and many Khitan tribes had settled down. Later, the Liao Kingdom established five more capitals: Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing, Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing, Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Xijing Prefecture in Nanjing, and Datong Prefecture in Xijing. The emperor could handle political affairs in the five capitals, so the Nabo system was somewhat inapplicable. .
However, after Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne, he did not like the capital, but liked fishing and hunting. Therefore, he restored the Nabo system and patrolled at all times. He spent most of the year hunting in Yuanyangluo, Baishuiluo and other places. .
Everywhere he went, Yelu Yanxi would summon the leaders of nearby tribes to come to see him. When the leaders of various tribes came to court, they naturally could not come empty-handed. Apart from the filial piety to Yelu Yanxi, there were also the treacherous ministers around him. As time passed, Yelu Yanxi¡¯s tourKeeping obedience has also become a burden for each tribe.
That year, Wanyan Aguda was just a leader of a small tribe with a few thousand people. Because he paid less filial piety to the treacherous minister Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Fengxian slandered him during the banquet and said that Wanyan Aguda was good at dancing. Yelu Yanxi believed it to be true and asked Wanyan Aguda to give him the filial piety. Dance a song.
As the leader of the tribe, Wanyan Aguda could not do such a thing that would make other tribes laugh. He walked away on the spot.
After Wanyan Agu fought back, he began to integrate the Jurchen tribe and prepare to rebel against the Liao Dynasty. Yelu Yanxi did not take the Wanyan tribe of thousands of people seriously at first. It was not until the Jin Kingdom became powerful that Yelu Yanxi began to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, but they were repeatedly defeated by the Jin Kingdom. Later, Yelu Yanxi personally led an army of 700,000 to conquer the Jin Kingdom, but was defeated by Wanyan Aguda and 20,000 cavalry at Hubu Dagang. The Liao Kingdom began to retreat steadily.
