Chapter 803: Winning the bid

The fleet outside Yingzhou was vast, but it was always impossible to enter the port. After three days of this, Wanyan Zonghan, who was ambushing near Yingzhou, was already impatient.

He once asked people to investigate that there were hundreds of ships outside the sea, and they should be the main force of the Song army's navy, or they were the vanguard fleet. In short, as long as they got ashore, Wanyan Zonghan was very sure to wipe them out in the suburbs of Yingzhou in one fell swoop.

The Song people were good at boats and boats, and the Jurchens were good at horses. On the water, it might be the Song people's world, but once they landed, it would be the Jurchens. Wanyan Zonghan had this confidence and had already sharpened his knife and could not resist the excitement in his heart.

But now, looking at the actions of the Song people, they did not land no matter what. Faced with the fleet that was so close, Wanyan Zonghan was helpless. He was anxious and helpless. He did not dare to expose himself, but he did not have the patience to wait.

What the Song people were thinking about? Why haven’t they landed on the shore yet? Could it be that they had already noticed it? No, Wanyan Zonghan was a veteran on the battlefield after all, and quickly rejected this idea. If the other party noticed the ambush, it would never be possible to stop in the outer sea. Then, why?

On the fifth day, Wanyan Zonghan's patience finally disappeared. He decided to take a risk and ordered a cavalry of hundreds of people to rush into Yingzhou, which gave the Song Dynasty navy an illusion on the sea, as if he wanted to tell the navy to go ashore quickly, we only had a few hundred people.

but……

Wanyan Zonghan was angry. He had no reason not to be angry. In his logic, fighting is to fight, not fighting, and hiding in the water cannot hide, which is really more hateful than those Liao people. But while angry, Wanyan Zonghan also found that he was helpless against the Song people on the water. Although the Song navy was only anchored thousands of feet away from the sea, the distance between them was just like a natural barrier for his iron cavalry.

After confirming that the Navy of the Song Dynasty would not land, Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to send an envoy to report the situation to Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyan Aguda was listening to the messenger's report while walking in the tent anxiously. He suddenly had a bad premonition. What would this premonition be? Even he couldn't tell the difference. Wanyan Aguda couldn't help but murmured: "Yingzhou... Yingzhou... Map, get the map."

The sheepskin map was spread in front of Wanyan Aguda again. Wanyan Aguda frowned and stared at the map coldly. Suddenly, his tiger eyes widened and a ray of lightning shine. He said fiercely: "Go, call Liu Wenjing."

Two Jin soldiers escorted Liu Wenjing into the tent. Liu Wenjing has been treated very well recently, and even her wounds have healed a lot. When she stepped into the tent, she saluted Wanyan Aguda with a smile. However, Wanyan Aguda walked to him with a calm face and slapped him hard in the face with a backhand.

Liu Wenjing exclaimed, "Your Majesty..."

Wanyan Aguda's eyes were about to spit out fire, and he sneered at Liu Wenjing: "The target of the navy is not Yingzhou, but Jinzhou. Shen Ao must have gone there. The navy in Yingzhou is just a suspicion array, which is the bait of hunters, Jinzhou... Jinzhou!"

No wonder Wanyan Aguda became nervous. Jinzhou was bordered by the seashore in the east, Dading Prefecture in the west, and Liaodong in the north. Dading Prefecture was once the Zhongjing of the Liao people, and it also had a very special status with Qijin Prefecture and Linhuang Prefecture. Because Dading Prefecture was crossed between Qijin Prefecture and Linhuang Prefecture, the Jin army went south, and all the grain and fodder transported from outside the pass were stored in Dading Prefecture. It was not only a supply base for hundreds of thousands of troops, but also a retreat for hundreds of thousands of Jin troops. Even as long as Jinzhou and Dading Prefecture were taken down, the Song army could march straight into Liaodong and Linhuang Prefecture in the north. Liaodong is the long-standing place of the Jin Dynasty, so naturally it is not to be lost. Dading Prefecture is a place where grain and grass are stationed, which is related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of Jin troops entering the pass. Linhuang Prefecture is now the capital of the Jin Dynasty, with countless nobles. Once it falls, it is a huge matter.

Of course, Wanyan Aguda didn't believe it. With a group of navy troops, they dared to go north to capture Liaodong and Linhuang Mansion. However, they landed in Jinzhou and then took down Dading Mansion, which was enough to disrupt Wanyan Aguda's overall deployment. Wanyan Aguda already had this premonition, his eyes were red, and he stared at Liu Wenjing hard: "We were fooled!"

Liu Wenjing was beaten so hard that he was very unfair. He had only said that the navy would land near Qijin Mansion. It was him, Wanyan Agu, who guessed the navy's intentions, but now he made a mistake, but he vented his anger. However, although he was beaten, Liu Wenjing did not dare to say anything except a cry of pain. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "That Shen Ao and ingenious..."

"Stop!" Wanyan Aguda pointed at him and said viciously: "I want to ask you, if the navy goes with all its strength, how long will it take to go from Penglai to Jinzhou?" Wanyan Aguda has no specific concept of the navy's speed, which is also the reason why Liu Wenjing was found.

Liu Wenjing calculated briefly and said, "Often the boat is faster than the horse. If you go with all your strength, you can travel thousands of miles in the first ten days, and at least seven or eight days."

Wanyan Agu sucked his breath and stroked his forehead and said, "Did the navy set out ten days ago in Penglai? Then... they have arrived in Jinzhou!"

Liu Wenjing was so scared that she dared not take part in the relationship. She was not possessed by her soul and her body was like a sieve.

Wanyan Aguda said viciously: "Send the order to make Wanyan Zonghan ignore the navy in Yingzhou, and ask him to take the warriors to Dading Prefecture immediately. He must arrive at Dading Prefecture before the Song army who landed in Jinzhou took the Dading Prefecture. You must hurry up and do not delay along the way!"

During the Liao Dynasty, Dading Prefecture was the center of Zhongjing Road and the bridge between the inner and outer gates. This time the Jin army went south, and Wanyan Aguda only thought it was the rear. Therefore, although a large amount of supplies were stationed, he did not send too much force to defend. Who would have thought that in front of the Song Dynasty Navy, there was no rear left in the entire pass, and as long as the sea was around the sea, the Song army could appear at any time as long as they were happy. Cold sweat broke out on Wanyan Aguda's forehead. Decades of experience in the sea of ​​blood told him that he encountered a strong enemy, and this enemy had planned it, or in other words, he had already deployed this plan ten days or even a month ago, and Liu Wenjing...

Wanyan Agu thought deeply, could this Liu Wenjing be part of this plan? Then... that so-called letter from the prince...

Liu Wenjing's back was chilled by Wanyan Agu's pounding. He immediately understood that he was suspicious and hurriedly whined: "King, students are different from Chen Ao, and they will never dare to deceive the king..." He couldn't help but burst into tears, kowtowed Wanyan Agu hard, and kept saying: "Please investigate clearly!"

Wanyan Agu stepped forward, grabbed his clothes, lifted him up, and said viciously: "If there is a fraud, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

After saying that, he threw Liu Wenjing on the ground like a dead dog and said to the left and right: "Go and call a few scholars from the southerners."

Not long after, Jin people lent a lot of scholars to come. There were many scholars in the Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Aguda wanted naturally easily find the people whom Wanyan Aguda had asked for. A few of them were officials who were once the Liao Kingdom's officials in charge of the treasurer and were quite proficient in the identification of calligraphy and painting. Wanyan Aguda took out the letter and said to them: "Let me see if this seal is right!"

These people were silent and leaned over. At first glance, they were engraved with seals of the Eastern Palace, which were obviously the imperial objects in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty had a lot of exchanges, and there were also many calligraphy and paintings engraved with seals of the Song Dynasty palace. It was easy to distinguish them. Just look carefully at whether there were any marks of knife carvings in the seal. Because it was impossible to achieve natural results. In order to distort the fake, you must carefully rub the details in the subtle areas to achieve the point of distorting the fake. But it was these subtle wear marks that became the standard for identifying the authenticity. In addition, you can also judge from the color of the ink paste. There is a big difference between the ink paste in the Song Dynasty and the ink paste in the market. After debating the color and taste, the results can be roughly obtained.

Finally, several people nodded and said, "The King is indeed an imperial object in the palace of the Song Dynasty, and it should not be a fake." A famous calligrapher and painter shook his head and said, "Students have heard that the prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, once mastered calligraphy and calligraphy by Xue Yao and Chu Suiliang. The brushwork of these two people is hard and soft, one is like a bamboo joint and the other is like a stream. The brushwork is very different. Zhao Huan has no achievements in learning. Later, he learned Cai Jing's running script. Now, looking at this letter, although running script is mediocre, you can still see the brushwork of Xue Yao and Chu Suiliang between the lines, and the brushwork of Cai Jing is slightly more charming. However, Zhao Heng is mediocre in qualifications and has learned a lot of knowledge, but in the end he learned to walk on the way in Handan, which is a pity!"

Wanyan Aguda was in the mood to listen to them discussing calligraphy of Jinshi and sneered: "So, this letter is undoubtedly sent by the Prince of Song?"

Several people did not dare to neglect and said frightenedly: "The students dare not speak nonsense, but this seal is indeed from the palace of the Song Dynasty, and the treasure seal of the East Palace is definitely not a fake. As for this running script, it should be Zhao Heng's handwriting."

Wanyan Aguda then relaxed and said impatiently: "Get out!"

Several scholars were so scared that they ran away. Wanyan Aguda looked at Liu Wenjing, who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to move, and said lightly: "You go back and rest, treat the wound well, I still have somewhere to use you."

Liu Wenjing hurriedly, kowtowed Wanyan Agu and said, "Thank you Your Majesty."

When he turned around and was about to leave, Wanyan Aguda behind him snorted heavily: "Liu Wenjing, wait!"

Liu Wenjing's body trembled, and he quickly turned around and said, "What else does Your Majesty have to give?"

Wanyan Aguda's face showed a fox-like smile, his eyes flashed a few times before saying, "Go out."

Liu Wenjing smiled flatteringly and said, "Yes, the student said goodbye."
