This is a naked threat.
Li Yun glanced ahead and saw the archers staring eagerly. The front row's flat-ended longbows were in a straight-shooting posture, while the rows behind raised their longbows and pointed their arrow clusters at the sky. More than 150 archers were attracted and did not fire, and everyone's arms were stable, which was really a deterrent.
He glanced at Wang Bao'er from the corner of his eye. Wang Bao'er shook his head slightly and stretched out his hand to press down.
Li Yun coughed twice and pointed at the prostrate Monk Aotunma.
Blood was pouring out from his neck, turning the horse's neck red. The war horse felt uncomfortable, its hooves kept tapping on the ground, and it snorted.
"We went to Shangjing in compliance with the arrangements of Commander He Shilie. The person you killed was a Qianhu of Fuzhou, and he had always been highly trusted by Commander He Shilie. Since the Khitans have raised their troops, why are you still doing this? If you do it, aren't you afraid of causing conflict among your own family members and ruining the overall situation?"
"I know, this is Monk Otunma."
The officer named Pu Xianjian only sneered: "He Shi Liehuanduan's lackey will die as soon as he dies, and how will he be treated? You might as well guess whether he has the guts to fart loudly in front of my family's envoy!"
Good guy, this unreasonable look is really unruly.
"But..." Li Yun said blankly: "We are just here to sell horses. Envoy Pu Xian is going to fight with the Khitan army... What does it have to do with us?"
"What does it matter? You will know when you get to Xianping Mansion." Pu Xian pressed out his hand and held the handle of the knife: "Don't delay. My family's envoy specially invited me, it makes sense, and I ask you not to be disrespectful."
When discussing trade with Li Yun in the northeastern hinterland, Heshi Liehuan kept saying that he must bypass Xianping Prefecture where Pu Xianwannu, the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy, was located. This was because Pu Xianwannu was ferocious and arrogant and full of thoughts. Expanding one's own strength is just anti-thief material no matter how you look at it.
Heshi Liehuanduan gritted his teeth when he said it, and Li Yun and others were a little doubtful.
This is all because their own coach is a complete rebel. Therefore, when everyone first heard that there was such a rebellious figure in Liaodong who stared at the banner of the imperial court, their first reaction was: This guy's ways are a little bit... As handsome as we are...is he worthy?
By this point, though, there was no doubt about it.
Pu Xianwannu, the envoy of Xuanfu in Liaodong, was really an extremely violent and unruly man, and his subordinates acted wantonly without any scruples.
It's really similar to Guo Ning's behavior in Shandong.
That being the case, there's nothing to hesitate about.
For Ding Haijun, the interests in Liaodong lie in horses and furs, and in the soldiers that may be extracted. But what does the position of so many local forces have to do with the navy?
Heshi Liehuanduan believed that Pu Xianwannu was a rebel, so he was full of doubts about him. But this doubt has nothing to do with Ding Haijun. To put it bluntly, the loyal ministers of the court and the rebels cannot talk about it together. Can't we talk about the rebels and the rebels?
Li Yun smiled: "It's okay to go to Xianping Mansion, but I have a condition."
"explain."
"The wheel hub of my big car is broken..."
"Just lose it."
Li Yun rubbed his hands: "But the goods in the car are valuable, so they can't be discarded. If anything goes wrong, I can't explain it to my family."
Pu Xian's face darkened and he went to hold the handle of the knife again.
Li Yun seemed to have disappeared and sighed repeatedly: "This cart is filled with silk and medicinal materials. It is very valuable and cannot be broken up."
"I'll leave fifty people to bring these goods back for you!" Pu Xian said angrily: "Come with me quickly! Don't delay any longer!"
Li Yun gestured with his hands: "Please!"
The group turned back to the main road and first went to Fengji County in Guizhou Province. The next day, they traveled 60 miles north to Xianping Prefecture.
Xianping Prefecture is also one of Daikin's important towns in the northeast. Because it is adjacent to Qinghe River in the south and Huanglonggang in the north, it is known as "the Yellow Dragon is pillowed in the north and the Qinglong is supported in the south." Xianping Prefecture is the general administration office of the military and horse capital, and is also the residence of the Andong Army's military governor. In addition, it also once stationed the Liaodong Road Transportation Department and the Tokyo Xianping Road Punishment Department, with eight counties under it.
At the height of the Jin Dynasty, Xianping Prefecture had more than 56,000 registered households, which was more than Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo and Huining Prefecture in Shangjing. It was also richer than these two capitals, and was only slightly inferior to Dading Prefecture in Beijing.
Therefore, after several years of war, although many forces were divided among the three capitals, Pu Xianwannu, who controlled Xianping Road, was obviously the strongest among all parties. Even the emperor was forced to recognize his influence and grant him the title of The position of Xuanfu envoy in Liaodong.
Li Yun originally thought that when he arrived at Xianping Mansion, he would be received by Pu Xianwannu, but he never thought that when he was at the gate of the city, another garrison suddenly came to check.
This was a group of cavalry, numbering no less than three hundred. The horses roared like thunder as they galloped along the perimeter of the city wall. Wang Bao'er immediately ordered his subordinates to shrink their queues and merge into a vigilant posture.
Looking ahead, Pu Xian's face was livid. He waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed out and shouted: "It's time to announce that Meng'an is here!"
The galloping cavalry paid no attention. It seems that although Pu Xian presses on to look menacing outside, his status in Xianping Mansion is actually very ordinary.
"Who are these people?"
Leading the cavalry was a young, tall officer. He raised the riding crop in his hand, deliberately not watching Pu Xian push it out, and only shouted at the subordinates who were pushed out by Pu Xian.
"This is the herdsman judge from Shandong! Accompanying him is a caravan from Shandong!"
"Officials from Shandong, caravans from Shandong?" The cavalry officer sneered: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Shandong people to march in groups in my Xianping mansion. Let them all disarm, take off their swords and bows Lost, and then you can enter the city!"
"Pu Xian Lie Lin! This is the guest the envoy wants to see!" Pu Xian shouted angrily.
The tall officer who was called Pu Xianlie's neighbor also shouted: "Do you know who gave me the task of taking charge of Xianping City Defense?"
Pu Xian pressed the button and felt frustrated for a moment.
In the past day, Li Yun followed Pu Xian on his way out and took the time to inquire about the local followers he had recruited in Shenzhou, Chengzhou and other places. Only then did we discover that the way Pu Xianwannu was governed on Xianping Road was very different from the system followed by the Song and Liao Dynasties in the Jin Dynasty.
He did not use the formal military titles of the imperial court at all. Instead, he adopted all the brave and powerful generals under his command as adopted sons, and gave them all the surname Pu Xian, treating them as blood relatives. There are eleven such adopted sons in total, and each subordinate is in charge of a Meng'an, and they are called according to the names of the adopted sons.
This system is not only not the system of the Jin Dynasty, nor the Daliao Dynasty, but more like the customs of the Bohai people, Shiwei people or Wanggu people before the founding of the Jin Dynasty, or in the early years, which completely used tribalism to cover the normal military and political system. . However, this originally backward system, placed in the chaotic hinterland of Northeast China, has gained considerable appeal due to its barbarity.
In the past few years, small tribes from all over the Northeast have continued to seek refuge with Pu Xian Wan Nu, and Pu Xian Wan Nu placed them under the Eleven Meng'an and used their teachings as a means of defeating them. As a result, the number of people in Shimeng'an expanded rapidly, and the entire Xianping Road seemed to be able to mobilize more troops than when the situation in the Northeast was stable.
However, the shortcomings of such a system are also obvious. Pu Xianwannu did not rely on the imperial court for his own affairs, and the Eleven Men'an under his command did not seem to have many rules.
Pu Xian, who led archers to intercept Li Yun and others yesterday, ranked ninth among the adopted sons. He was obviously acting on the orders of Pu Xianwannu, but Pu Xianlielin, the eleventh among the adopted sons, suddenly appeared in an obvious provocation.
At this time, Jianchu and Lielin were arguing with each other in front of the city gate.
A cavalryman under Lie Lin's command, probably seeing that his leader could not suppress his words, suddenly galloped on his horse, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Li Yun and others.
The cavalryman was wearing a armor and stomach, and he took out a scimitar from his waist and waved it repeatedly. The light of the sword flashed as he ran, and the armor and stomach were filled with cold light. For a moment, he was imposing.
Li Yun sneered.
He has seen many such things to scare people, and this little trick in front of him is ridiculous. If I don't respond, I'm afraid Pu Xianwannu will look down on Laizhou Ding Haijun and really think that Ding Haijun is easy to control.
As for the method of response... what impressed Li Yun the most was Ding Haijun's actions in Zhigu Village that day.
The generals kept approaching, their horses running back and forth in front of the caravan, and they kept shouting and making provocative sounds to everyone. This guy's riding skills are really outstanding. Sometimes he jumps off the saddle, sprints a few steps on the ground and then jumps on the horse. Sometimes he stands on the saddle, waving his knife in various mighty postures. Following his actions, the Jurchens watching on both sides of the city gate applauded, and some people ran out of the city gate, boasting and praising him as they ran.
Li Yun nodded to Wang Bao'er.
When the cavalry general approached again, Wang Bao'er suddenly rushed out on horseback and swung his sword.
Too fast, caught off guard.
Blood burst out and heads flew up.
That arrogant face soared in the air, and he yelled twice before falling to the ground. The body with blood spurting from its neck was still firmly riding on the horse, and was taken away by the horse to a distance.
Wang Bao'er sheathed the sword with satisfaction.
His skills are naturally outstanding, otherwise he would not have been chosen to work in Liaodong. The previous time they were besieged by the Yellow-headed Jurchens, they were really outnumbered. Now with a long knife in hand and a fast horse galloping, he was finally allowed to have a good performance.
Among the Jurchens who were cheering around, some stopped in shock, while others exclaimed and let out long screams.
