Fu Song

Chapter 506
Angie carefully poked out a head from the withered grass, and looked down at the group of Song Army officers and soldiers who were resting.

Not many people, probably more than a hundred people.

But everybody has horses, and all wear armor and armor.

Just looking at their clothes, one can tell that each of these people is either rich or noble.

Especially the old man in the middle surrounded by all the stars, his identity is even more extraordinary.

He is wearing a purple robe!
Angji is not very clear about the clothes of officials in the Song Dynasty, but he has also heard that those who can wear purple robes are all high officials.

Angie swallowed greedily.

It's a pity that he only has more than a hundred people on hand now, and his equipment is completely incomparable with the Song army in front of him. If he rushed forward, he might just give away his head.

But, this is Hengshan.

This is their land.

Find a suitable place and gather more people. Under a sudden attack, they may not be able to catch them all at once.

Slowly retracting his head, Angie quietly retreated into the dense forest like a wolf, waved his hand, and a group of people disappeared with him.

Angie Lai is the owner and captain of the guard of a mine in Hengshan. He has dozens of people under him. He usually maintains the safety of the mine and suppresses some miners' riots.

Those who mine in Hengshan are not good at it.

All kinds of serious criminals, these people committed capital crimes, but in the Northwest, manpower is very precious, it would be a pity to kill them with a single knife, so such people are often paid by the mine boss to get them from the government. Bought for mining.

As for these people, although they can live for a few more years, generally speaking, they are still dead.

Because the mine will never show sympathy for these people.

The other group were prisoners of war.

The Western Army was constantly fighting. In the early years, they fought against Huihe, Uyghur, Tubo, and Song people. Then there were a large number of prisoners of war. Among them, some rebellious ones were also thrown into these places.

Different from serious criminals, these people are considered worthy of reform. If they are hardened to be honest, and they can find someone to guarantee, these people can still go out.

But no matter what, the mine where these people gather is obviously dangerous.

And Angie, who can be the captain of the guard in such a dangerous place, is naturally a more vicious character.

With the advent of the Great War, the Western Army is facing a great crisis.

The troops in places like Shentangpu Castanopsis Village were overwhelming, and what shocked the people living in Hengshan was that the Song people ignored these strategic points and entered Hengshan directly by detour.

How spectacular it is for a hundred thousand troops to cross Hengshan Mountain!

But this is a great crisis for these mines in Hengshan.

So with an order, the major mines basically slaughtered the death row prisoners, and then locked up the rest of the dangerous elements.I'm afraid that if these people unite with the people of Song Dynasty, once there is a trouble, it will ruin the big event.

Fortunately, the Song people seemed to have no time to pay attention to these small shrimps, and went straight across Hengshan to attack Yanzhou, Hongzhou and other places.

I don't know what kind of situation is going on north of Hengshan outside now.

The Song people cut off the news after they crossed Hengshan, but Angie knew that there was still a lot of fighting in Castanopsis and Shentangbao!
The Song people wanted to take Hengshan, but they didn't even think about it.

The chief steward will definitely beat these intruders to pieces.

But right now, Angie is more interested in catching this guy in purple. His own strength is not good enough. If he contacts a few more mine owners, he can gather hundreds of heads, and then find a suitable place. Can do it in one fell swoop.

These people are all carrying war horses, and they want to avoid the main points controlled by the Western Army, so they can only go to Loquat Valley.

It seems that when they came, they also took this path.

At that time, they had tens of thousands of people, and Angie was naturally unaffected.

But now a hundred people dare to climb Hengshan Mountain in a big way, don't they take us too seriously?

In Angie's view, this guy in purple has become a bounty in his pocket.

If you don’t want anything else, please reward yourself with another mine!

I am not very good at doing other things, but I learned ore dressing, ore washing, and rough skills with the younger brother of the chief manager. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of family property.

Iron always sells well.

As long as you can refine it yourself, how much does Xingqing Mansion have and how much you want.

And after this war, there will definitely be many, many more prisoners of war. These people are cheap, and they can mine mines for themselves, and they can create more wealth for themselves.

Cui Ang never thought that he was already being targeted.

Sitting on a piece of bluestone, while gnawing on the dry biscuits handed over by the guard, he was thinking about how to get out when he went back.

The [-] troops probably won't be able to come back.

Although Cui Ang is a second sword above military, this point is still very clear.

Whether it is the army under the command of Qu Zhen who is still under the city of Yanzhou, or another army that attacked Hongzhou under the command of Tang Nu, it is impossible to come back.

The vast sea and Hengshan behind them are their obstacles.

Maybe a few people will be able to escape back by chance, but on the whole, the [-] troops can basically be removed from the sequence of the Great Song Imperial Army.

Another big defeat.

So, who is your perfect scapegoat!
Well, Quzhen is one.

Let's just say that this guy is domineering and arrogant, relying on his senior qualifications in the Fourth Army, he doesn't listen to his command, acts recklessly, and finally causes a catastrophe.

As for Tang Nu, there is no need to say much, he will do whatever he says, so he will take the initiative to take the blame for himself without taking the initiative.

Tang Nu knows very well that only with himself can he have his future.

Of course, this is not enough, Zhang Cheng must be involved.

Just say that he colluded with Xiao Ding?

It seems that it is not easy to win people's trust.

After all, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Ding had the hatred of killing their father, and the officials would not believe that Zhang Cheng and Xiao Ding colluded.The officials still believed in Zhang Cheng, after all, this man had saved the lives of the officials.

So who else can get involved?
Liao people can.

In other words, the alliance between the Liao people and the Great Song Dynasty was simply a trap, and there was no problem with my own strategy. As a result, in the northwest, the Liao people and Xiao Ding colluded to fight back. .

Right, that is it!

That would be perfect.

The alliance with the Liao State was insisted on by the officials. Now that the Liao people have turned their backs, the most embarrassing thing is the officials.

So, if you pursue your own responsibility for defeat, then the officials are discrediting themselves. Therefore, the officials will inevitably cover up, even if they temporarily put themselves aside, but after a while, they will use themselves again.

After all, the officials and themselves are really on the same side.

You are scarred and I am numb, looking at each other.

After thinking through all this, Cui Ang immediately felt at ease.

The dry biscuits that I thought were choking panicked immediately became smoother.

After eating the pancakes and drinking a few mouthfuls of mountain spring water brought by the guards, Cui Ang got on the horse in high spirits.

Now, of course, hurry up and get out of this damn Hengshan, go back to Shanxi Road, and tell Zhang State that Xiao Ding has colluded with the Liao people.

Zhang Cheng and Xiao Ding have a deep blood feud, so they will definitely believe in his own statement, as long as he and himself jointly sign a letter, this matter will be confirmed.

As for the [-] people to the north of Hengshan, it doesn't matter. The Song Dynasty has both people and money. After a few years, this gap will be filled again.

Cui Ang, who was full of energy, drove nearly fifty miles of mountain roads in one day, sweeping away the decadent energy he had just fled from the army when he came back.

The loquat valley is ahead. When I came here, the loquats were just ripe. The golden yellow wild loquats in the valley really made everyone both seductive and addicted to the mouth. When I came back, there was only the rustling autumn wind. The ground is full of fallen leaves.

A group of people set up camp on the spot.

Loquat Valley is shaped like an old man's mouth, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and very narrow at both ends, making it easy to guard against the wind, and the dense loquat trees inside can form a natural shed.

Angie watched with a smile as the group entered the Loquat Valley, and then watched them busy setting up guard posts and setting up a simple camp.

As long as you enter the valley, don't even think about going out.

Angie contacted five mine bosses and brought a total of [-] people, including many tamed prisoners of war and repeat offenders.

After making some promises, these people held their knives in a murderous spirit, ready to use their merits in exchange for their freedom.

How can people who mine and smelt iron lack weapons?

Even bows and crossbows, they have no shortage.

God arm crossbows cannot be owned, but things like enemy bows are sold freely in the northwest.What's more, every household still quietly hides a few god arm crossbows.

There are more than a hundred people, but they are big families.

Those hundreds of people were all wearing full-body armor, not cheap chain mail, but expensive Mingguang armor, which, among the Western Army, only middle and senior generals could afford.A pair of armor cannot be purchased without a hundred dollars.

These more than a hundred people actually killed them with a pair of hands. The armor alone is worth a lot of money.

What's more, there is a purple-robed official!

This purple-robed official is afraid that one person can cover the valuables on all these people.

So the six mine bosses, including Angie, were all very happy.

The attack, very professionally, unfolded just before dawn.

Angie and the others are not soldiers, but they have quite a few guys who are proficient in fighting.

This time is undoubtedly the most exhausting moment for people, and it is also the most relaxing moment.

The sudden attack caused heavy losses to the imperial guards protecting Cui Ang in the first place.

However, Angie and the others did not expect that the opponent's resistance would be so strong and tenacious.

The Imperial Squad also has their pride and ability, which is not comparable to that of ordinary troops.

From the beginning of the battle in the early hours of the morning, this battle with a huge disparity in numbers actually lasted until three poles in the sun.

Angie and the others were also angry.

It never occurred to them that the fat in the future is actually a hard bone. They lost more than one-third of their manpower, and the death of more than a hundred people made every mine boss feel distressed.

There is no shortage of mining, but their most expensive guards are not easy to recruit suitable manpower!
"Get straw bales and tree poles. If they don't surrender, roast them to death!" Looking at the last dozen or so enemies huddled in a hollow sheltered by several boulders, they looked at their hands. With the bow and crossbow in his hand and the full quiver hanging diagonally from his waist, Angie didn't want to be captured alive. Although the dead body would be discounted, at least his own people would die less.

The idea was too difficult, which made him feel that he would be unable to make ends meet.

The order was quickly implemented, and in autumn, dead trees and grass were everywhere.

When these bundles of dry trees and hay were thrown near Cui Ang and his party one by one, and the number was still increasing, they had no other choice but to surrender.

Otherwise, even if they are not burned to death, they will be smoked to death, and there is a high probability that they will become mummies.

As long as you are alive, you still have a chance to turn things around, but if you die, everything will be over.

"Who are you?" Looking at the purple-robed old man who was still a prisoner, Angie asked angrily. He wanted to slap him, but he raised his hand and was forced by the old man's eyes, so he dared not Let's do it.

"My official, Cui Ang, is the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, the governor of the Song Dynasty, the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Road, and the strategy of Zhengxi Xingyuan." Cui Ang said sharply, "Who are you? Who is your chief?"

Angie looked back at one of his companions in bewilderment: "What is the political affairs, and the strategy of Xingyuan Jinglue?"

"I don't know!" The people around shook their heads together.

"It doesn't seem like a big deal, but Cui Ang, this name is familiar!" Angie said, rubbing his head.

Cui Ang was bitter for a while, and at the same time he became a little timid, these Qiu Ba didn't know the importance of their status at all, if they cut themselves indiscriminately, they would die for nothing.

"If you send me back to the Song Army on Shaanxi Road, I will not only let the past go, but also reward me heavily."

"Bah!" Angie spit on Cui Ang's face: "Looking at your treacherous appearance, you want to lie to me. Brothers, let's send him to Shentangbao to General Li Yi, Li Yi General Yi has always been loyal, and he would never imagine that our reward will be lost!"

"That's it!" A group of people responded loudly.

Li Yi, who was still fighting Zhang Cheng to the death in Shentangbao, really never imagined that the commander of the Song Dynasty's conquest of the Western Army, the Song Dynasty Pingzhang state affairs, and Shaanxi Anxie Cui Ang, would be tied up like zongzi by several party leaders. He was tied up and carried all the way to his face.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, rubbing and rubbing, looking and looking, to make sure that he was not dazzled.

"Cui Xianggong, what's the matter with you?" He was angry, funny, and a little confused.

How did such a big man fall into such a state all of a sudden?
His mind turned like lightning, and suddenly jumped up: "I see, we won, Song Jun lost, it must be like this, it must be like this!"

Of course it is, otherwise, how could the majestic Mr. Song lie in front of him like a dog?
