Of course Fang Jinshi didn't know that it was these Jingyuan soldiers he had just seen who a few years later used their flesh and blood and courage to block the Jin army's iron hoof from attacking Sichuan southward, preventing the Jin army from entering the rich plains of central Sichuan, let alone going down the river. They took the route south of the Yangtze River.
The two walked slowly for a while. Fang Jinshi looked back and saw Liang Cuirong's expression was calm, as if she was still thinking about what he just said. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong?"
Liang Cuirong came back to her senses and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking about what you said. If the Liao Kingdom is really destroyed, but another force rises to replace the Liao Dynasty, wouldn't it be able to resist the Jin soldiers?"
Fang Jinshi was stunned and said: "What kind of power can arise?"
Liang Cuirong said: "The Liao Kingdom is so big, maybe the descendants of that aristocratic family or the separatist forces took advantage of the chaos to rise up. It's unknown. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Suzong of the Han Dynasty were the ones who established their empires during the troubled times." Fang Jinshi listened. He was stunned. He knew that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang, but he couldn't figure out who Emperor Suzong of the Han Dynasty was. He couldn't help but ask: "Who is the Emperor Suzong of the Han Dynasty? How come I have never heard of him?"
Liang Cuirong suddenly looked a little unnatural, and said after being slightly startled: "It is the Emperor Rui Wen Sheng Wu Zhao Su Xiao of the Han Dynasty a hundred years ago."
She spoke for such a long time, but Fang Jinshi still didn't understand which emperor he was. Could it be that it was omitted from the history of later generations? He stayed there and thought for a long time. Liang Cuirong smiled and said: "Who told you not to read more books on weekdays? You don't even know this. By the way, have you read any books before?"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "Of course I have read it. You have never heard of the books I have read. Even the officers and soldiers of the Liao Kingdom couldn't defeat the Jurchens. Which aristocratic family has such ability? I won't talk about this anymore, I want to show off The king wants to give weapons to the people of Liao, but actually this matter is simply impossible to carry out."
Liang Cuirong asked: "Why can't we continue?"
Fang Jinshi said: "Because of the difficulties, you said that there are many weapons in this batch, so it is extremely difficult to move them. It must require a lot of manpower. Besides, it is even more difficult to send these weapons across the border. Is it possible for the border customs to move them?" Can the defenders just watch this large amount of weapons flow to the Liao Kingdom? So even if Prince Jing doesn't stop it, it will be difficult to do it."
Liang Cuirong said: "You are wrong. In fact, it is more difficult to transport it to the Liao Kingdom, but it does not mean that there is no chance. Prince Xiu is a talented man. This is not difficult for him. I estimate that these weapons have arrived somewhere, but even if I know it's there, but there's nothing we can do about it. That's why we only focus on that letter and don't pay much attention to the movement of this batch of goods."
Fang Jinshi thought for a while and then said: "If these goods are in the hands of the army, you can't do anything. If they are in the hands of the robbers, it seems that you can't do anything. From this point of view, it is extremely likely that this batch of goods will be in the hands of the robbers. There are only two families in Shaanxi that have such a large number of weapons hidden on the ground, Shi Bin and Zhang Zong'e."
Liang Cuirong praised with satisfaction: "That's right, in whose hands could it be?"
Fang Jinshi said: "In general terms, it is more likely that Shi Bin is in the hands. He has people in his hands. If he is willing to send troops to help the Liao Dynasty, he will be able to use these weapons, and he can also bring the extra weapons. Go to Liao Kingdom."
Liang Cuirong said: "It makes sense. I have received news that Shi Bin will marry Yelu Hongniao in four or five days, which is the sixth day of the lunar month. Three days later, troops may be sent to aid Liao."
Fang Jinshi groaned and said: "How many troops does he have in his hands? I have seen his team before, and it seems that the strength is not very good." Liang Cuirong snorted and said: "Then you are wrong about him, Shi Binshu He was already somewhat famous when he was in the Liao Kingdom two years ago. He accompanied his troops on the northern expedition and won many battles. Yelu Dashi was also very fond of him at that time. Otherwise, Dashi Linya would not have tried every means to get him to return to help Liao. He had seven men under his command. There are 8,000 troops, 3,000 left and right armies each, and about 4,000 people in the middle army. Most of these middle armies are led by Song Jiang's old subordinates. In fact, his strength is far superior to Zhang Zong'e. What's more important is that the middle army under him is about 4,000. More than a thousand cavalrymen, as you saw just now, how many cavalrymen does the Jingyuan Army have?"...,
Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "You are really powerful. You know everything. Anyone who becomes your enemy is truly terrifying."
Liang Cuirong felt a little proud after hearing his praise, and said with a smile: "I am here to spy on the news. Prince Jing spends so much money and effort every year. If he asks me and I don't know anything, how can I live in his old man's home?"
Fang Jinshi asked: "Why is Prince Jing so concerned about the situation in the northwest?" Liang Cuirong said: "He is not paying attention to the situation in the northwest. It's just that the strongest military force in the entire Song Dynasty is in the northwest, so naturally he has to pay more attention to it."
Fang Jinshi said: "Then if Shi Bin sends troops, how many can he send?" Liang Cuirong thought for a while and then said: "According to the news I got, he went out in full force."
She continued: "It is said that Yelu Dashi promised him the position of general, and I don't know what general he was. Once he entered the Liao Dynasty, he did not plan to come back." Fang Jinshi sighed: "If he leaves the Song Dynasty, he will not be the official. This is a great good thing for the army, and then the army may open the way and let him enter the Liao Dynasty."
Liang Cuirong smiled slightly, but did not respond. Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Isn't it right?" Liang Cuirong shook his head and said, "Of course it is, but if there are no bandits in the army, there will be no excuse to ask Bianliang for money or things." Fang Jinshi Yi Shocked, if you think about it carefully, it’s really true.
The two talked for a while and then rode up the road. Liang Cuirong's little red horse didn't run fast, and Fang Jinshi didn't rush her. The two soon arrived at Anjiangji. Fang Jinshi was familiar with this place. He came here for the second time. Thinking about the embarrassment I felt when I came here last time, now I not only have money around my waist, a horse on my crotch, but also beautiful women by my side. It's really different.
Not long after the two entered the city, a little beggar suddenly ran out from under the bridge. He rushed to Liang Cuirong and handed him a piece of paper, and then made a strange gesture. Liang Cuirong reached out and took the piece of paper, and the beggar ran away quickly. opened.
Liang Cuirong opened the piece of paper and looked at it. The other person Jinshi said: "Our people asked me to meet in the restaurant in front." Fang Jinshi hummed and said, "Then you go ahead, I'll wait for you." Liang Cuirong smiled lightly and said: " Let’s go together.”
Although Fang Jinshi was a little reluctant to have anything to do with the people from Prince Jing's Mansion, he still followed her to a restaurant ahead. Liang Cuirong looked at it and said, "This is it." She got off her horse and handed it to the waiter in front of the store. , and then walked in.
Fang Jinshi followed and went up to the second floor. The second floor was empty. There was only one person sitting at the table. The empty person in front of him was Xue Zheng.
Fang Jinshi actually hated Xue Zheng very much. When he saw him, he felt a little unhappy. Liang Cuirong stopped far away and said, "What's the matter?"
Xue Zheng stood up, looked at Fang Jinshi and said, "There are outsiders here."
Fang Jinshi was unwilling to hear their secrets. After hearing what Xue Zheng said, he wanted to turn around and go downstairs. Liang Cuirong reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes and said to Xue Zheng, "He is not an outsider."
Xue Zheng had no choice but to say: "I found out what you asked me to check. The parents of Miss Huang are in Tongguan." Liang Cuirong hummed and said, "Have you informed the Marquis?"
Xue Zhengdao: "We have been notified." Liang Cuirong hummed and said, "That's enough. Is there anything else? Have you found the person who helped me find him?"
Xue Zheng replied: "Found it, he is coming on a flying horse. He will probably arrive tomorrow." Liang Cuirong nodded and said, "That's OK." After saying this, she turned and walked towards the stairs without looking at Xue Zheng. .
Xue Zheng said from behind: "The old master is here, he wants to see you." Liang Cuirong couldn't help but stopped after hearing this, turned her head, looked at Xue Zheng and said, "When did the prince come?"
Xue Zhengdao: "We arrived a few days ago, and now we are in Yanzhou City." Liang Cuirong said coldly: "Why didn't you tell me?"...,
Xue Zheng lowered his hands and said, "It's the old master who refuses to let you go. He wants to see you now."
Liang Cuirong sighed and said to Xue Zheng: "Go downstairs and wait for me." Xue Zheng agreed and walked past the two of them without even squinting his eyes.
Liang Cuirong turned around and sighed before saying, "Hey, Prince Jing suddenly wants to see me at this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to invite Mr. Li."
Fang Jinshi said: "It doesn't matter. Prince Jing has arrived early tomorrow, but he has never told you. You have to be careful." Liang Cuirong smiled sweetly and said: "I know, I will be fine. In fact, you don't have to go. You can also invite Dr. Li. Didn't he just say that the person I'm looking for is on the way and will arrive tomorrow. The one I've invited is Zhang Xian's second apprentice. Although he is not as famous as Mr. Li, he believes in healing. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with me, brother.”
Fang Jinshi nodded, and Liang Cuirong leaned close to his head and whispered: "Then Miss Huang's parents must be protected. The Marquis went there just to humiliate others, and he thought it was to avenge Brother Shi." Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. , Liang Cuirong tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, she turned around and went downstairs. Xue Zheng was already waiting on his horse. She said something to Xue Zheng and headed towards Yanzhou City.
The two of them ran outside the city. Liang Cuirong slowed down his horse, turned to Xue Zheng and said, "When did the prince come here?"
Xue Zhengdao: "The day before yesterday, do you know why the prince came suddenly?"
Liang Cuirong asked: "Why?"
Liang Cuirong asked: "What news?"
Xue Zheng said sternly: "It's not that An Minghou ambushed the Liao envoy that night without success, but that the Liao people were already captured, but they were rescued by others."
Liang Cuirong was surprised and said, "Who are they? Where did the news about these people come from?"
Xue Zhengdao: "There are more than three hundred men in black. These people come and go quickly, and they are very ruthless. It seems that these people not only know the news about the Liao delegation, but also know that the Marquis is going to attack."
Liang Cuirong said: "Then why didn't the Marquis say anything when he came back? Nor did the others who came back together tell him?"
Xue Zhengdao: "Because Zhao Ziping was caught by those people, he was afraid of death, so he had people let go of the Liao mission so that they could come back. He was afraid that Prince Jing would blame him, so he strictly ordered not to leak it."
