Chapter 49 Force the rebellion, kill Khitan
"Lord Gai, may I agree to my request?"
In the room, Ma Feng is still in the messy dress, and the Khitan who was assassinated with Ma Lan before looked embarrassed. "Your Excellency, your proposal is really..."
"Double the tribute to your country every year!"
Ma Feng's face was very cold, and in addition to being gloomy and firm in his eyes, "In this way, I gave three times more than Liu Jiyuan, and I can also bow down and bow down for the Khitan horse!"
As soon as this word came out, Gai Ermu was moved. Liu Han's more than a dozen cities had nothing to do with Khitan. The important thing was to stop the Song army's Northern Expedition, so the person in charge had to be obedient.
King Khan supports the Liu family, which is exactly the same.
It is obviously easy to see who to choose who is given more generous conditions.
Of course, Gai Ermu knew that he had to agree. Ma Feng was alone and had no scruples. If he should not come down at this moment, I'm afraid it would be difficult to walk out of Jinyang City alive.
"Okay, Prime Minister, Gai Ermu conveys his will to the King of Khan for you."
"Very good, come and prepare the horse!"
Ma Feng immediately sent someone to prepare the horses, and then turned around and left. After years in the officialdom, he knew that some things were just through.
Who lives in the palace in Jinyang City is no different for the Khitan people.
"Teaching officer, the soldiers searching in the city are gathering towards the imperial city, and Ma Feng also went in that direction with a group of guards."
Liu Yanzhao, who had been guarding the living room, immediately stood up when he heard the news brought back by Yushan, "When did it happen?"
"Half an hour."
It seems that he has taken a good step. Ma Feng is going to rebel. Jinyang City can't stay for a long time. Thinking of this, Liu Yanzhao immediately ordered Qilang and others to pack up their bags.
On the street, there are much fewer soldiers to check. There seems to be a fire in the imperial city. Presumably, Ma Feng is about to succeed. I'm afraid Liu Jiyuan's life can't be saved.
The conspirator must have a mistake. Even if he deliberately took back the position of the general manager of Ma Bujun and gave it to the prince Liu Rang, but the tail was not big, and he had been overtaken by Ma Feng for a long time.
With Qilang and others, he walked forward in the inconspicuous alley. Just as Liu Yanzhao was planning to go to the Dongcheng Gate and cross the wall, a team of horsemen on the street caught his attention.
It turned out to be a Khitan.
Looking in their direction, it was the south gate, and there was a bodyguard of Mafu on one side. Liu Yanzhao immediately understood that this was a message for Ma Feng.
There must be some kind of agreement between the two.
For Khitan, dozens of cities around Jinyang City are just a buffer to block the attack of the Song army, and they don't care about who is in charge. Therefore, as long as the price is high, they will naturally be supported by Khitan.
Ma Feng is not a simple person. He can see the key points at a glance.
However, what he wants, Liu Yanzhao will not be able to do what he wants. Once Ma Feng holds power and stabilizes the situation, Daizhou Liu family will be the first to have bad luck.
"Come with me!"
Between the fire and lightning, Liu Yanzhao continued to quickly intersperse in the alley with people. He wanted to kill the Xiong Khitan messenger. In this way, at least in a short period of time, Ma Feng had no confidence and no ability to master Liu Han's small court.
The two legs couldn't run, but the good thing was that there were several waves of soldiers checking along the way, which made the speed of the Khitans a little slower. When they were delayed crossing the gate, Liu Yanzhao took people to throw out the hooked rope and took advantage of the dark, he quickly crossed out of the city.
"Brother Six, your left arm..."
Qilang, who was beside Liu Yanzhao, shook his figure a few times when he went down the wall. He hurried forward and asked in a worried whisper.
"It's okay, minor injury."
After saying that, Liu Yanzhao took the lead in running forward and had to walk more before the Khitans left the city. Otherwise, they would be intercepted and killed by the city, and they would definitely be missed and detected by the people.
I don't know what happened on the other side of the city gate. Until Liu Yanzhao and others walked three miles, they didn't hear the sound of horses' hoofs, but there was no easy ambush around, so they had to continue to go north.
At the gate outside the city, Ma Feng's bodyguard didn't understand why the Khitan stopped after walking for two miles. He could only come forward softly and said, "Your Excellency, let's go."
Hearing this, Gai Ermu, who was standing on the horse, withdrew his sight of the city, turned his head, and a smile cracked at the corners of his mouth, "Handa, kill them!"
With an order, dozens of horse guards were killed unprepared and soon fell to death.
"The warriors of the Khitan people can be blackmailed by you coward!"
Thinking of what Ma Feng had done before, Gai Ermu spat at the corpse on the ground, and then gently pulled the east reins and walked forward slowly. "Throw these corpses more secretly."
Half an hour later, the Khitan people dealt with the bodyguards of the Ma Mansion, and the Gai Ermu still walked slowly, "Let them fight in their own nests, and the children will play mountains and rivers with me, and then go back happily!"
On several Luan trees, Liu Yanzhao stared at the distance. At this moment, he really couldn't understand what happened to the Khitan man, and he hadn't appeared for so long.
People have been hidden in the trees on both sides, and even the ropes in front of them were easily blocked to block the horses. The ambush was done, but the fish waiting for the hook disappeared.
Is it possible that they don't plan to go back to Khitan?
But even if they go somewhere else, the road under their feet is also the only way for them. Just when Liu Yanzhao didn't know what he thought, the sound of horses' hoofs was far away.
Take out the small crossbow from his waist, which is another secret weapon he matched for the poisonous scorpion. At this moment, he can't do ten consecutive rounds, but it is much better than the ordinary pocket crossbow.
Because its arrow adopts the principle of rotating the revolver and changing the arrow, as long as you pull the mechanism, one arrow will be fired, and the other one will immediately make up for the launch.
Such a weapon is enough to become a killer. Therefore, it is the same as the thorn. This crossbow is also done by Liu Jiye's confidant. At least in these key things, he can't fully trust Lan Guizhai.
The sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer. Soon, I saw dozens of horses coming, but unlike in the past, these Khitans did not speed by, not even ordinary speed.
Looking at the roadblock less than 100 meters away from the person in the front, Liu Yanzhao cut down with his right hand. Then, the arrows flew and rushed to the Gaiermu, which was full of leisurely.
"There is an ambush, run!"
Suddenly, I found that the people around me fell off the horse one after another. There was no way for Gai Ermu to shake. He roared and rushed forward with his horse.
"Hss~!"
But before he ran far, the ** horse roared and fell to the ground, and before Gaiermu got up, his eyes were black, and a dark arrow was inserted into his chest.
There was a crossbow, so the battle ended quickly, but Liu Yanzhao was not relieved, because two Khitans fled.
"Ingover, the captain and Brother Cao have gone after him."
Seeing Liu Yanzhao on the horse, Cui Ping pulled the reins on one side, pulled out the trauma medicine from his arms, tore a corner of his clothes, and handed it up.
I glanced at the subordinates who were cleaning, but I didn't see the shadow of Qilang and Qishan. Since they went to chase and kill, I don't think there would be any problems.
Jumped off the horse and took the medicine. The pain in his left arm woke up a little. The continuous strenuous exercise had already penetrated the blood into the night clothes.
He rolled up his sleeves with heartache. Cui Ping on one side hurried up to help. After taking the medicine and dressing, Liu Yanzhao felt a little comfortable.
"Instor, there are a few bags of gold here!"
The team members who were cleaning up the battlefield suddenly shouted in a low voice. Although Liu Yanzhao said that the trophy of the poisonous scorpion belonged to the individual, the ordinary thing was just that. They still dared not take this golden thing for themselves.
How many bags of gold? Aren't all gold and silver in the box?
Hearing this, Liu Yanzhao walked over and saw a large amount of gold in several seemingly ordinary sacks. He estimated that it was no more than a thousand taels.
It seems that the Khitan people also know that the wealth is not exposed. These people's fat and ointment collected by Ma Feng instantly changed the owner.
When the venue was almost cleaned up, the clear sound of horses' hoofs came. Cui Ping immediately pulled out the thorn, but soon put it down.
Because the people who came were Qilang, Liu Yansi and Yanshan.
"Is it solved?"
Jumping off the horse, Qilang nodded to Liu Yanzhao who came over, "Yes, the body has also been properly disposed of!"
"Very good, seventh brother, there is an important thing for you to do for me."
"Brother Six, just order it, and I will live up to my trust."
"Take this gold back to Daizhou City overnight and tell his father about Ma Feng's chaos."
He had to tell his father about this matter quickly. Qilang did not hesitate to respond to Liu Yanzhao's decision, but then found something abnormal, "Don't Brother Liu go back to Daizhou with Yansi?"
"I won't go back for the time being. I still have important things to do."
"What's important?"
Qilang whispered twice, and then stared at Liu Yanzhao with a slightly trembling voice, "Sixth brother, are you going to the State of Song?"
