Chapter 307: Dedication

The soldier in black at the top of the city looked very thin. The generals watching the battle thought that the soldier who took the lead on the city was just a cannon fodder. Even if he was brave, he could not stop the siege of so many people on the city. There were more and more soldiers in black at the front of him, but in an instant, the situation around the soldier in black changed drastically. The soldier in black actually threw the spear in his hand forward, lifted up a body that had just been killed and put it on the body and rushed to the enemy with force. After he kicked it, the body crossed towards the defenders behind him and smashed three or four soldiers. Before anyone could figure out why the thin soldier in black had such great power under his feet, the soldier in black rushed into the enemy was like a magic trick.

In an instant, the cold light rose everywhere. The four Dangxiang defenders in front of the black-clothed soldiers threw away the weapons in their hands, covered their necks with their hands, and fell down in pain. The black-clothed soldier took advantage of the moment when the enemy was distracted and actually used a short sword to pass through the throats of the four enemies! The Dangxiang defenders around them felt their hearts furious, as if they had forgotten that they were on the battlefield of life and death. Watching the black-clothed soldiers passing through their companions like ghosts, the defenders wherever they passed either covered their throats with their hands or their hearts. During the period when they were stunned, no less than twenty Dangxiang men fell under the short sword of the black-clothed soldiers!

The siege battle was evenly matched, and it was a breath of effort. It was to see who could not stand it first and who was in high morale. The black-clothed soldier only took a moment after climbing the city head. He killed the defenders on the wall he was on in a flash. This greatly encouraged the Poxi Army, who was still under the city. Not only were they all excited and climbed up the ladder without hesitation, but Li Qing also seized the opportunity to throw two large groups of troops into the battlefield. The defenders who were still attacking and defending just now were in danger of overturning for a moment!

Although Li Qing was far away in front of the formation, he also saw this scene and was surprised for a moment. While staring at the soldier in black, he wanted to kill the defenders of the Dangxiang on the city wall like a butterfly, he asked: "Which soldier is this in the military camp?!"

"Ship Li, this is not a soldier in the army. Judging from his outfit, he should have been called temporarily!" said a general next to him.

The military uniforms of the Poxi Army were strictly regulated. Not only were the clothing different in different levels, but even the armor had strict requirements. The black-clothed soldier was only wearing a thin cowhide armor that could protect the chest and back, which was not the outfit of the Poxi Army. When Li Qing went to the expedition, he also summoned many local residents from his territory to enter the army. However, the costumes of these people were not equipped for the time being, and even the weapons were brought by himself. The outfit of the black-clothed soldier showed that he should have been temporarily recruited.

After hearing this, Li Qing nodded without saying a word, but continued to stare at the soldier in black fighting on the city. In this chaotic world, there were too many people like the soldier in black! Because the soldier in black was very brave, except for three rounds when he started to climb the city and killed two defenders, the rest were either a sword to be granted a marquis. Even if he hit the heart, there was no enemy wherever he passed. This was thanks to the defenders on the city and the defenders were holding spears and too many people could not be disguised. They were unable to do anything when facing the short sword of the black soldier rushing into the crowd. The brave and weird performance of the black soldier attracted many defenders. It disrupted the defense of the defenders and made more Paixi soldiers climb the city. The longer the time dragged, the more the defense line of the defenders was one step further from collapse.

"The Grand Marshal. The man has been brought here!"

Li Qing stood at the head of the Tiezhiwu city, and the pungent smell of blood on it did not make him feel uncomfortable. The guards and generals around him were standing ten feet away. He turned around and said, "You are the first soldier to climb to the head of the city?"

Although Li Qing did not see the appearance of the soldier in black during the siege, he recognized him at first glance when he saw the soldier half-kneeling on the ground. Although the soldier was wearing black clothes, the bright red blood stains on the thin armor on his chest and the somewhat eye-catching clothes showed that it was a miracle that this soldier could survive until now.

"Raise your head!" Li Qing ordered when he saw that the soldiers did not speak.

A very impressive face that Li Qing saw may not be unforgettable, but those eyes are definitely unforgettable. There were two bloodstains on the corners of his mouth, and there were also many blood spots on his face - the blood on the corners of his mouth was naturally the soldier's own, while the blood spot on his face was the enemy.

"What's your name? Are you a Han Chinese?!"

"Wang Shun, Jingzhou..." Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of bright red blood flowed out of his mouth, and his face became paler.

Seeing this, Li Qing knew that the soldier was seriously injured, so he raised his hand to stop the soldiers from continuing to speak and said to his left and right: "Call the best doctor to treat him, give Wang Shun a hundred taels of gold, and join the Iron Cavalry Camp as a lieutenant!" After that, two personal guards stepped forward and raised Wang Shun and retreated.

"It's rare that this man has such martial arts skills at a young age. The handsome man is so keen to recognize the pearls!" A general next to him said with a smile.

"Heroes have been around since the wild. I think you and I were just a man back then. Are you still the commander of the army today?!" Li Qing said in his usual tone, but anyone could see the smile in his eyes.

After taking the medicine from the Army, Wang Shun returned to the camp where he was before. At this time, his identity had changed a lot. The Iron Cavalry Battalion was the headquarters of Li Qing in the Poxi Army. His status in the army was second only to the personal guard camp. As long as he stayed in the disaster for a while, he would be an intermediate officer.

Wang Shun didn't care about this, threw the medicine given by the doctor aside, took out two or three porcelain bottles from his package, took it internally and externally, and worked hard for a while before dealing with his injuries. Then a team of soldiers came to Wang Shun's camp to find him, delivered the 100 taels of gold rewarded by Li Qing, and urged him to report to the Iron Cavalry Camp as soon as possible. After Wang Shun left a part of it, he distributed the remaining gold to the soldiers in the same camp, and then carried his package and walked out of the camp. Listening to the laughter of the soldiers in the same camp before, Wang Shun just stopped at the entrance of the tent and strode out.

It was already late at night, but you could still hear the laughter of soldiers drinking in the distance. Although the iron management service was not very big. However, after experiencing a life-and-death test, perhaps only fine wine could numb the soldiers without thinking about tomorrow's battle. In Wang Shun's eyes, the local wine here can be called fine wine. However, on the grassland far away from the Song Dynasty, it would be good to have wine, and not every soldier could drink wine. Only generals and meritorious soldiers could have wine. Wang Shun also has a jar here.

Perhaps he made great contributions, so after coming to the Iron Cavalry Camp, he was treated well, and he actually lived in a small tent alone. Wang Shun sat next to the blanket and drew out the short sword. Under the faint candlelight, the short sword flashed with a faint cold light. Wang Shun picked up the small jar of wine from the side and slapped off the mud seal. A spicy smell of wine immediately filled the small tent. He did not drink it. Instead, he grabbed the jar in his hand and poured the wine slowly on the short sword, slowly rinsing the remaining blood on it.

The wine in the jar was quickly dried. Wang Shun used his clothes to wipe the remaining wine dripping on the sword man, and he jumped into the small tent and danced his sword alone. In an instant, cold lights rose in the tent, and the figures and sword shadows mixed together became faster and faster. In this small space, Wang Shun could even dance his sword quickly. The candlelight in the tent was like a small boat floating in the strong wind.

When Wang Shun's sword was closed, the candle in the tent was broken into two pieces. The upper part was still burning, but on the tip of his sword, with the light of the ground candle on the blade, you can clearly see two small words engraved on the place where a foot of the sword approached the hilt - "Frozen"! He placed the candle on the blade on the blade, sat back on the blanket and inserted the sword into the soil with force: "Sir, I've taken another step!"

"Oh? Is it true?" Li Qing asked in confusion while sitting beside the desk.

"My subordinates dare not deceive the general. Wang Shun left six in total with the soldiers in the same camp, and then scattered the remaining gold for the soldiers in the Iron Cavalry Camp to buy wine. He left less than five taels of money!"

"Haha. This Wang Shun is really interesting. You have to promote him well in the future. Maybe he will be a powerful general soon! But... can he learn to read?"

"I don't know this subordinate, but I can ask, how handsome..."

"It is important to have good martial arts skills in war, but if you are not smart and do not understand military books, your achievements will be limited!"

"The general has a long way to go, and his subordinates are not as good as possible!"

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "There are still many wars in the future. It is inevitable to expand the army in the future. It is very important to be able to search for more talents. The so-called 'three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find'! Wang Shun believes that it is still fine to be a vanguard official. As for whether he can become a weapon, he should wait until he can take a look at it later!"

In May, the Liao Kingdom is quiet and distant mountains.

At the entrance of the valley in the distance, a dark horse carried a middle-aged man in military uniform, riding his horse and whipping like lightning, raising his bow and hitting a deer. The entourage from the brigade immediately followed and presented his prey to him. This middle-aged man was Yelu Hongji, the current Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty. If Wang Jinghui was present, he would definitely know that the dark horse he rode was called "Flying Dian".

Yelu Hongji's biggest hobby in his life was hunting. Although Wang Jinghui still has no chance to meet this emperor who ruled the Liao Kingdom for fifty-five years in history, he also knows that this Liao emperor is really a good material for being a hunter. The accounts of this emperor in later history books are full of words such as "The Liao Kingdom is like a duck river" and "The Lord of Liao is like a Dalu River". If you want to say that if the emperor's hunting in history is a noun, Yelu Hongji can definitely enter the top three - the rebellions that occurred during his reign all happened when he was hunting.

Yelu Hongji rode the flying electric power and continued to gallop, but in a short while, a white horse was carrying a woman in red suit slowly following him. After the flying electric power, Yelu Hongji felt something immediately. He looked back and smiled and gradually slowed down the horse speed, allowing the woman in red suit to chase after him. The beautiful woman in red suit took off the longbow from the saddle while Yelu Hongji was apart, and neatly pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, and shot a deer twenty feet away in front with a "bang" sound!

Yelu Hongji laughed when he saw this. This beautiful woman in red dress was his wife Xiao Guanyin, probably the most beautiful place among all the empresses in the entire Liao Dynasty. Although the founding monarch Yelu Abaoji ordered his ministers to make Khitan characters, they were still relatively barbaric compared to the Central Plains. In the palace of the Liao Empire, reading was always strictly prohibited. They believed that studying not only wastes time, but also makes a person's brain too complicated, so most of the empresses were not gentle enough. There was more Yingshuang. Empress Xiao of Liao Kingdom can command thousands of troops to charge into battle and live a life of "Lu Fei, a horse made of Lu Fei, a bow as shocked as a thunderbolt". The empress of Liao Daozong was called Xiao Guanyin, which is definitely an exception in the series of Xiao Hou in Liao Kingdom.

Xiao Guanyin was the daughter of Xiao Hui, the younger brother of Empress Qin Ai of Liao. She was the queen's family. "The appearance is outstanding, good at poetry, good at talking, and self-made lyrics, especially good at pipa, and was the first in the world." Because of her birth to the crown prince Yelu Jun, she even favored all the concubines and became a "confidant" in the Daozong area of ​​Liao.

The Khitans maintained the custom of martial arts and liked to hunt. The Liao Daozong often rode a BMW known as "Flying Electricity" in an instant. When they went in and out of the deep mountains and valleys, Xiao Guanyin often followed him. Seeing Yelu Hongji stopping the horse, Xiao Guanyin smiled and chanted slowly, "The power of the people overpowered Nanbang can cross the Yalu River when he goes east; all the monsters are brave. That sect will not surrender!"

Xiao Guanyin's poem is based on the title of hunting, showing her ambition and is intimidating. Her husband's obsession with hunting made her very worried about her husband's safety. Moreover, the Liao Dynasty also had many disadvantages. She wanted to use this poem to inspire her husband's ambition to work hard to govern.

"Okay! OK! OK!" Yelu Hongji was obsessed with hunting, which could Xiao Guanyin persuade him to reply? However, this poem did ripples in Yelu Hongji's heart. The Khitans valued the heroes the most. In his opinion, as the Emperor of the Great Liao, he was the only one who could "overwhelm the Nanbang and be majestic". However, to be fair, this poem is indeed a good poem with a powerful momentum, demonstrating the heroic spirit of Xiao Guanyin among women and the boldness of the northern women. Although it "insulted" the "Southern Dynasty", even Wang Jinghui was present, he could not help but cheer for this poem.

"Come here, this forest will be called 'Fuhu Forest' in the future!" Xiao Guanyin's poem won the favor of Yelu Hongji, so he immediately named the forest of this hunting land "Fuhu Forest".

Xiao Guanyin married Yelu Hongji, who was the king of Yanzhao at the age of fourteen, and the two were the same age as a child. However, Xiao Guanyin's personality is still very beautiful. She can do things on horseback, but she is very disgusted with such activities. She is not as ambitious as Empress Dowager Xiao and has thousands of methods. Even if there is one, it is useless. His husband is in his prime and is less than forty years. It seems that he can be an emperor who has given birth to a long time. He is definitely not a short-lived emperor. Although Xiao Guanyin's poems and pipa can win the favor of her husband for a while, in the eyes of her husband, he can only appreciate this rare talent occasionally. In the long run, he will definitely be unable to bear it. Therefore, the relationship between the couple has become a little different now.

Xiao Guanyin rode his horse and rushed to Yelu Hongji and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Youdan, who has lived in the Southern Dynasty for a long time, sent someone to bring back a letter to you to submit it!"

"Why don't you submit it to Yousi to me and ask the queen to worry? The people below seem to be getting more and more lazy!" Yelu Hongji said.

"The matter is confidential. Xiao Youdan is afraid of leaking the news, so he sent an envoy to me to send the letter directly, hoping that I will pass it on my behalf!" said Empress Xiao.

The Emperor Taishu Yelu Chongyuan of Liao Kingdom rebelled and rebelled. The royal family Yelu Yixin made contributions to quell the rebellion and was awarded the title of Prince Taitu. Emperor Yelu Hongji had been hunting for a long time. Yelu Yixin gradually took over the power, and all the court officials were accomplices, and their ambitions grew. Although Xiao Guanyin's son, the prince Yelu Jun, was young, was quite wise. Yelu Yixin was a little afraid of him. The ministers who had lost confidence in the Emperor Yelu Hongji began to turn their attention to the prince Yelu Jun, who was only fifteen years old, which hit Yelu Yixin's painful foot. If Yelu Hongji made great progress in the future and Yelu Jun succeeded to the throne, Yelu Yixin might be in trouble.

Yelu Yixin naturally would not sit still and wait for death. The court immediately divided into two factions and began to fight each other. However, the emperor Yelu Hongji trusted Yelu Yixin, and all matters in the court were left to him to handle, so people like Xiao Youdan would run away. The camps of the two sides were clearly divided. If Yelu Yixin knew that it was Xiao Youdan's letter, it would definitely not be in the hands of Yelu Hongji, so Xiao Guanyin passed on it on his behalf.

Xiao Youdan had a huge role in the Song Dynasty. If we evaluate it from later perspectives, this guy could be called a gold medal spy. The most important thing is that he had a great influence on the prince Yelu Jun with his relationship with the descendants. All kinds of news and movements about the Song Dynasty were constantly passed on to Yelu Jun through Xiao Youdan's eyes. Even if his son was like this, how could he still understand the mother? Xiao Youdan is a very famous "sage" in his family. Xiao Guanyin must have done his best to do his best in what he asked.

After reading the letter, Yelu Hongji pondered for a while. Although he liked hunting, this person was not a simple person. If anyone knows him best, he should be Wang Jinghui, who is thousands of miles away. Wang Jinghui was not very clear about Yelu Hongji's history, but he knew that this guy was always in danger after rebellion. He stood in the bloody Liao power high-level position for fifty-five years and never lost his power to be the nominal "emperor of airs". This itself is very evident. At least Wang Jinghui would never underestimate Yelu Hongji!
