Chapter 158 Can't afford to lose

"Walk!"

Yelu Yujian squeezed out a word through his teeth, and then limped away with the help of his personal guards.

After all, his skills are inferior to others, and he has no shame in staying here anymore.

Seeing that these annoying Khitans finally left, the surrounding Song troops all cheered happily.

Yang Weizhong wiped his sweat, then came to Ning Fu and saluted: "Fortunately, I will live up to my command!"

"Hahaha~, General Yang is really good at this!"

Ning Fu also laughed loudly, and then put the jade pendant into Yang Weizhong's hand.

"Uncle, I can't do it. I can't accept this jade pendant!"

Yang Weizhong hurriedly declined and said that he, a small general, would not dare to accept such a valuable jade pendant.

"Take it, this is the prize for your competition!"

Ning Fu insisted.

At this time, Yang Weizhong couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to accept the jade pendant, and then he was pulled aside by a group of soldiers to have a drink.

"If our soldiers in the Song Dynasty were as brave as General Yang, why should we fear the oppression of the Khitan people?"

Tong Guan sighed in a low voice at this time.

When Ning Fu heard this, he secretly curled his lips, "In terms of personal force, the Song people are no worse than the Khitans or Dangxiang people."

Even because the Song Dynasty was relatively wealthy and had better food conditions, many people in the Song Dynasty were taller. In comparison, the Khitan and Dangxiang people were shorter.

There are even some ethnic minorities on the border who like to send women from the tribe to seduce Song men to borrow seeds in order to give birth to taller children. Even Japanese people often do this.

However, individual bravery is not very effective on the battlefield, because the battlefield is a confrontation between collectives and collectives, and even between national systems.

Although the people of the Song Dynasty were strong and had sophisticated weapons, the entire country's system was too broken, especially the suppression of the army by the civilian clique, which resulted in the army's lieutenants having no fighting spirit and the soldiers just trying to get by.

Under such circumstances, the Song Army naturally had little combat effectiveness. Even as soon as it entered the battlefield, it would be defeated immediately when encountering the enemy. The Hebei Forbidden Army was one of the representatives.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about this, and if you talk to Tong Guan about this, he may not understand, otherwise he will not be defeated so miserably in the future.

That night, the mission was noisy until midnight before resting.

Ning Fu also slept very late. Before he got up the next day, he was suddenly awakened by the noise outside.

"What's going on?"

Ning Fu put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, only to see Tong Guan and Yang Weizhong there, and the rest of the delegation also looked like they had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Fu rubbed his swollen eyes and asked.

"Uncle Qi, those Khitan people are missing!"

Yang Weizhong immediately stepped forward and replied.

"No...what do you mean missing?"

Ning Fu was stunned, unable to accept the news.

Yelu Yu saw that there were at least hundreds of people, responsible for escorting them out of the country, but they were still some distance away from the border of the Song Dynasty, so why did they just disappear without seeing them?

"Yelüyu saw that all those people were gone, even the horses and tents were gone. He probably left quietly while we were sleeping."

Tong Guan also stepped forward angrily at this time.

At this time, someone came forward to confirm that he did see the Khitan people packing their things when they got up at night, but he was in a daze and didn't think much about it at the time.

"This is simply too much bullying. When I get back, I have to sue this Yeluyu after seeing him!"

Tong Guan was so angry that he shouted again.

Although they were about to arrive at the border of the Song Dynasty, Yelu Yujian, as the person seeing them off, left them here halfway and simply didn't take them seriously.

To put it more seriously, this is actually not taking the Song Dynasty seriously, which will definitely cause diplomatic disputes in future generations.

"Brother Tong, don't be too angry. That Yelu Yu couldn't afford to lose, so he just ran away. He treated national affairs as child's play. We don't have to argue with this kind of person!"

Ning Fu laughed and said.

Yelu Yujian was born into a noble family and could become a personal guard of the Liao Emperor at a young age. Such a person must have a very powerful background, so even if they complained, the Liao Kingdom would probably not do anything to him.

Tong Guan also knew this truth, but he was really angry, so he cursed a few more times.

Ning Fu calmed the hearts of the envoys, and then prepared to set off. Anyway, it was not far from the Song Dynasty, and it would take at most two days to enter the Song Dynasty.

However, seeing Yelu Yu leave, Ning Fu felt relieved.

Because Ning Fu was still worried before, it was inconvenient for him to contact the Guo Jiajun people with Yelu Yu seeing these people following him.

Even Ning Fu planned to return to the Song Dynasty and then quietly return to the Liao Kingdom, and then make an appointment with Mr. Guo at a time and place.

But it is much more convenient now. In front of him is the boundary of Xiqingshan. He can definitely contact Guo Jiajun now.

The mission slowly moved forward and finally entered the boundary of Xiqingshan.

However, this boundary refers to the possible range of activities of Guo Jiajun, and it does not mean that you will encounter Guo Jiajun if you enter here.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom was sparsely populated, and the West Green Mountain area was also very large. The Guo Jiajun mainly moved in the mountains and rarely went out of the mountains.

Even because the Guo family's army has strict discipline and will clear out bandits and bandits around it, the border of Xiqingshan is actually safer than other places.

That night, Ning Fu and the others still did not leave the Liao border, so they found a forest to camp and rest.

Originally, Ning Fu was still worried about Ma Yuan and Ma Zhi's uncle and nephew. They had been away for several days and logically they should be back.

As a result, that night, Ma Yuan and Ma Zhi's uncle and nephew found the mission's camp in the dust, and Ning Fu immediately summoned them.

"How is it? What do the Guo Jiajun people say?"

Ning Fu asked immediately.

Ma Yuan and Ma Zhi each held a large bowl of rice and replied while eating it: "Guo Jiajun agrees to meet, but it must be at the border of Xiqingshan Mountain!"

"That's great, we happen to be here and can meet them at any time!"

Ning Fu felt relieved, and then looked curiously at Ma's uncle and nephew who were devouring their food.

"Why are you so hungry? Don't they give you food?"

"Uncle, you don't know. Life in the mountains is hard. The Guo family army has a large population, but there is very little arable land in the mountains. The food they grabbed from the official warehouses has long been eaten. Now they only rely on their own farming to feed such a large population.

It’s also very difficult.”

"That's right, we went to the mountains for several days and could only survive on gruel every day. They even have a shortage of salt. From our perspective, if this continues, the Guo Jiajun may not be able to survive for long!"

Ma Zhi also analyzed at this time that the reason why he followed Ma Yuan was to personally observe Guo Jiajun's situation and help Ning Fu make a correct analysis.

"Their conditions are difficult, which is a good thing for us!"
