Four hundred and sixtieth chapters suddenly(1/2)

Xiao Hu came again, perhaps because things changed, he had to come and intimidate Gan Qi. This time he came again, and even had the idea of ​​"carrying" Gan Qi back to Yanjing together, so he completely got everything done.

So when he saw Gan Qi, he immediately spoke, "It's already spring, and my emperor's emperor has no patience. I sent me an envoy to ask you, and I want you to give an explanation immediately in the Southern Dynasties, otherwise the war will be about to begin."

Gan Qi had just walked into the living room and had just sat down. Before he could exchange greetings, he could see Xiao Hu's words up and down.

His eyes were slanted, his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked impatient.

The momentum is really good, and it feels a little arrogant.

Gan Qi laughed and raised his hand and waved: "Come on, give Xiao Zhi tea."

Xiao Hu was not in the mood to drink tea, so he stood up and scolded: "Don't want to have any friendship with me? Give me a happy word, so I can immediately reply to my Emperor."

"Eunuch Xiao, I agreed last year that I will finish the New Year. After the New Year, I will personally bring hundreds of cars of property to Yanjing. Why? This is not yet the tenth day of the lunar month..." Gan Qi looked at Xiao Hu, and had some temporary thoughts in his mind.

"My Majesty is no longer patient and has ordered the Privy Councilor of the South Court to start preparing for the war. If you go back without a reply these days, you will immediately cross the river. You can do it yourself!" Xiao Hu looked at the tea coming up and did not drink it, but still looked at Gan Qi squintly.

Gan Qi suddenly made a decision in his mind, and he said, "Since Xiao is here again and has brought the thoughts of His Majesty Liao, I dare not refuse anymore. Why not, if I go and load all my belongings into a car today, and follow Xiao across the river to Yanjing City early tomorrow morning. How about it?"

When Xiao Hu heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but come out, but he took it back in an instant. He felt relieved in his heart, but his tone was still stern: "Hmph... You are so nervous when you see the opportunity, you are not afraid to tell you that stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is a knife. Sooner or later, why bother to procrastinate your emperor and make your Majesty unhappy?"

"Yes, yes, what Xiao Envoy said is extremely yes." Gan Qi still looked respectful.

Xiao Hu stood up and waved his sleeves again: "I will wait for you for one day."

After saying that, Xiao Hu got up and went out again, without giving Gan Qi any face at all.

Gan Qi naturally had to get up and see him off, and had to arrange a residence for Xiao Hu.

After getting Xiao Huyi arranged it, Gan Qi immediately arranged hundreds of cars of property.

If you want to talk about hundreds of cars of property, Gan Qi has already arranged it almost, but these hundreds of cars of property are mainly food and grass, and are used for war.

Gan Qi's idea just now was that he thought that Xiao Hu was coming just right. It was originally a troublesome thing to cross the river, and he had to try his best to cover it up to avoid being known by the Liao people too early to achieve the purpose of a sudden attack.

Now that Xiao Hu has come, the matter of crossing the river is a bit legitimate. Isn’t it necessary to send hundreds of cars of property to the Liao Kingdom, and no one is allowed to escort it? Is there anyone responsible for transporting it?

In order to bring more people across the river, Ganqi also needs to prepare more frames. Even if there is no stuff to transport them temporarily, Ganqi needs to prepare more frames. If hundreds of cars are missing, it is not an exaggeration to get more than a thousand cars.

Bring three thousand cavalry to escort them, which were all the cavalry under Ganqi's command, including one thousand Jurchen heavy cavalry.

Bring thousands of infantrymen to load, unload and transport.

The number of people is not large.

You also need to load a few more cars of real property, a few cars of copper coins, a few cars of gold and silver, and a few cars of good cloth to cover it up.

The war begins tomorrow.

Gan Qi suddenly became a little nervous. After planning for so long, Gan Qi was orderly, but before the battle, Gan Qi was really nervous and his heart was beating rapidly.

However, Xiao Hu in the city knew that Gan Qi was busy, gathering the frame everywhere, and was in a good mood. He was telling someone in his residence: "The Southern people are so cowardly and incompetent. The Southern people are far inferior to me, Khitan."

Of course, there were still people who agreed: "That's right, we have also followed Xiao to Bianliang several times. As we went to Bianliang more, I felt that the Song people were just like that. It was my brother who died miserably."

Xiao Hu waved his hand: "Hun died a little miserable, but he was worth it. Your Majesty wanted to ask for the ten counties in the Southern Dynasties. I think that Gan Qi dared not refuse. He had a life to exchange for the ten counties in his life, which was considered a place to die."

"I hope my brother has a spirit in the sky and can rest in peace."

"Don't worry, once this matter is over, I will ask Your Majesty for a reward and give it a great reward to the young family."

"The villain thanked Xiao Envoy on behalf of him."

Gan Qi was busy and nervous. After finishing his work, he returned to his residence and didn't fall asleep all night. He seemed to be a little nervous.

Gan Qi still took Xiao Hu with a nervous mood.

Thousands of frames lined up in a long queue, which was very spectacular. The frames slowly left the city, and there were so many people watching.

Such a large formation made the seven or eight thousand soldiers following the car not conspicuous.

The crowded onlookers watched the car frame heading north and talked everywhere.

"Oh... I give you annual monies, and this year it's a lot..."

"Who said no? The Liao people have been practicing martial arts on the other side of the river for so long, so they always have to pay some rewards, right?"

"I am the Song Dynasty, it's better than before. Thinking of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I can't help but sigh..."

"The country above the heavens is better than the country above the heavens."

"You guys are all afraid of the world. Is it okay to fight a war? You guys go fight?"

"Yes, it's so sarcastic here. Are you happy to fight? If the fight really starts, which one of you must leave your family and your family and your family's back and leave your hometown?"

"For a good time, just be content. Don't look at the endless frame and you can't see the end. This little thing is just a matter of the Bianliang officials."

"Bah, you just don't have any bones. Use money to buy peace. Is this a long-term solution?"

"It's not a long-term solution, it's been a long time for decades..."

"The court is incompetent, and the people are only concerned about the present. One day, they will all regret it."

"You have to finish talking big talk alone. Do you want to fight? Isn't there any fighting in the northwest? Didn't the Xixia Dangxiang people violate the territory every year? Go, who stopped you? You have a kind of talking big talk here, why don't you go to war for the country?"

"A stupid man is not worthy of being a lie." This swearer was just coming from Bianliang, named Zeng Xiaokuan, the son of Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang. He saw this scene as soon as he arrived in Xiongzhou. Before he could see Gan Qi, Zeng Xiaokuan, who saw this scene, suddenly looked down on Gan Qi a lot.

Zeng Xiaokuan was a pragmatic person in history and one of Wang Anshi's assistants to the reform. This came to meet Gan Qi with an imperial edict. The words of the imperial edict told Gan Qi not to lose the face of the country. However, this scene, the frames of thousands of vehicles had already lost the face of the court. How could Zeng Xiaokuan be so happy?

...

Gan Qi naturally didn't know that the court had sent someone to issue an order, and he was accompanying Liao envoy Xiao Hu at the gate of the north city.

Xiao Hu was in a very good mood when he looked at so many big cars, and even asked, "Can there be an item?"

This is asking if there is a gift list. Gan Qi shook his head and said, "There are items, but they are not totaled together. When I stay tonight, I will summarize all these items and then use them to review them with Xiao."

Xiao Hu nodded, his face looked much better this time, but he saw many cavalry appearing at the end, and said, "Why are you bringing so many cavalry?"

Gan Qi waved his hands repeatedly: "More than two thousand cavalrymen are just to strengthen their reputations and guard against some villains. After the money and property is handed over, they will return immediately. Xiao Zhi doesn't have to worry too much."

"More than two thousand cavalry? Haha...but all the knights in Xiongzhou?" Xiao Hu's words were actually ridiculed.

Gan Qi smiled awkwardly: "I am short of horses in the morning, and I can't compare to your country. I am so happy."

Xiao Hu said again: "Are you going to load a boat across the river? Or are you going to cross the river through the ice?"

This sentence has profound meaning. After discussing the way to cross the river, Xiao Hu would send a quick horse to cross the river to report so that the other party could send someone to pick him up. Of course, there was also some precautions, and Xiao Hu was still cautious.

"But there are not so many boats to carry. If you go back and forth, you may not be able to cross the river in a few days. You should still go upstream. You have already found a place below. If the ice is thick and shallow, it is better to cross the river by stepping on the ice."

"Well, you're considerate." Xiao Hu was very satisfied, but he also turned his head to signal a few times. Several horsemen ran away, first crossing the river to report, and then Xiao Hu said again: "However, some words should be told to you in front. This time, my Emperor's Majesty was furious. Even if he sent so much property to Yanjing, he would not be able to solve the problem. Envoy Song should be mentally prepared."

Xiao Hu's meaning is simple. Gifts are needed, but land is also needed.

Gan Qi looked a little embarrassed: "Save it, as long as your country can think about the friendship between brothers, everything is easy to say."

Xiao Hu was satisfied, turned his head and walked slowly forward.

Ganqi urged the horses to get off the seat and followed.

In the upper reaches of Juma River, during the dry winter season, the mild, wide and shallow waters still have thick ice that has not melted. The frame is walking on it, and the ice surface is creaking.

After crossing the river, it will be the Liao Kingdom.

Xiao Hu laughed proudly while crossing the river. Maybe he knew that he had made great contributions this time and felt proud. From time to time, he turned around and laughed at Gan Qi a few times. The laughter was a bit strange and sarcastic.

Finally stepped onto the land again, Xiao Hu stopped slightly, walked aside, and watched countless frames crossing the river.

Gan Qi also stopped the horse next to Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu suddenly spoke: "Ganqi, you are not in a hurry or worry."

At this time, Gan Qi's face was not a little worried or anxious? Gan Qi replied: "Xiao is so happy, why should I worry or anxious?"

"You guys don't know the seriousness of the matter yet. You are not as good as you go to Yanjing!" Xiao Hu suddenly changed his face. He had eaten Ganqi's bird energy in Bianliang. When he arrived in Yanjing, he naturally had to return it.

Gan Qi looked as usual, looking at the frames that were slowly crossing the river, and looking at the soldiers rushing to carts beside each frame. At this time, Gan Qi was nervous and his adrenaline surged.

The soaring adrenaline made Ganqi a little excited, as if many things could no longer be held back.

He rode his horse and approached Xiao Hu, with a cold light in his eyes.

Xiao Hu didn't understand why, and asked, "Why, do you still want to come and ask for it?"

Gan Qi was approaching and grinned: "Eun Xiao is afraid he can't survive today!"

Xiao Hu opened his eyes: "You are brave, what's the nonsense?"

Gan Qi slowly put his hand into the leather bag around his waist, and said in his mouth: "What are the last words of Xiao Eng?"

Xiao Hu was confused, not knowing what kind of epilepsy Gan Qi was going to get, so he raised his hand and pointed: "Gan Qi, don't you look at where this place is? How can you be wild? Look up to the north and look tens of thousands of Liao troops will arrive soon. If you dare to be arrogant again, you will die without a place to bury you."

Gan Qi had already taken out the things in the leather bag and slowly said to Xiao Hu, "What a pity, Xiao Envoy can't see the follow-up, and he's a fool to die."

Xiao Hu saw Gan Qi pointing something at him and asked, "What's this? Are you really crazy?"

"Bang!"

"This is called a musket!" Gan Qi also answered in the smoke.

Xiao Hu had already fallen off the horse, his eyes wide open, and there was a blood hole between his eyes. It was also because of this blood hole that Xiao Hu had not even twitched and could not close his eyes. He just stared at the sky without any reaction.

The horses on both sides were also frightened by the loud noise, so scared that their hooves kept moving. The knights on the horse comforted the horse while watching this scene, and seemed to have not come back to their senses.
To be continued...
