Chapter 12 Fighting a Hundred Generals Alone

Wanyan thunderbolt, Lian Po, and Yelu Zhongyi watched Zongzheng in the imperial study.

"Marshal Wanyan led 300,000 to camp across the bank with **, remember that as long as you are not raided by **, how long can you hold on, how long can you hold on, after all, how can ** help us, I don't want to fight with them, Marshal Lian Po led 300,000 to the north and stalemate with the Jin State, this has to rely on diplomacy, but we can't show weakness, weak countries have no diplomacy. Marshal Yelu led an army of 100,000 to the border of Liao, prohibiting the Liao people from entering our country, so as not to spread the plague from people to our country. It's all gone. After Zong Zheng finished speaking, let them lead the troops away.

After Yan Thunderbolt waited for Yelu Zhongyi and Lian Po to leave, he returned to the imperial study.

"What's the matter with Marshal Wanyan?" Zong Zheng looked at Wanyan Thunderbolt who walked in.

"Your Majesty, Tang Guo knows that you are good at burning grain and grass, cutting generals alone, bypassing the army to attack the territory with weak troops, and designing to subdue the marshal of the main army, so this time you have to have a strategy of governing **, I'm afraid it won't work, and Tang Guo specially summoned five hundred martial arts masters, all of whom were named generals, and even the original Jin State's internal guard You Li was among them, just waiting for you to kill you when you call the battle alone. Wanyan thunderbolt hunched over.

"I see, then I will kill their sharp qi, go, I will go with you and kill these five hundred martial arts masters. Zong Zheng stood up and was about to leave with Wan Yan Thunderbolt.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that you have any other ways to break the enemy, you have used your methods before** I know, you are now the emperor, no more than before, the royal conquest is a little dangerous. Wanyan thunderbolt stopped Zongzheng.

"Don't hide it from the marshal, I don't have the idea of starting a war with the Tang State, after all, the fifth uncle treats me well, I don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, this battle can't be fought, and it wasn't a pity with few soldiers and horses before, so I used the dangerous tricks you said, and now that the country has just been founded, it is the best policy not to cause a war. Zong Zheng let go of the hand that was holding Wanyan Thunderbolt.

"If Your Majesty personally recruits, it will inevitably boost morale and deterre, the enemy army is twice as large as ours, and the enemy army will not dare to despise us, but the millions of soldiers and horses in the northern Jin Kingdom are pressing the border, and it is really difficult to be Marshal Lian Po with 300,000 soldiers and horses. Wan Yan Thunderbolt lowered his head.

"I have ordered someone to build the Xuantie armor and brush it with gold, this Xuantie is really hard to find, I will wait for you opposite the border ** military camp, I will go first. After Zong Zheng finished speaking, he put on the Xuantie armor, walked out of the palace gate, got into the carriage, and was just about to leave, when he saw Wang Zixi coming over.

"Your Majesty, there are 20,000 remnants of the Korean army outside Bai Yi City, and when they were annihilated, the second master was killed, please forgive your Majesty. ”

"The sword and gun have no eyes, you can't blame the general, just pay attention to safety in the future, I still have something to do, I'll go first." After saying that, Zongzheng asked the groom to drive away.

Wang Zixi was confused, because the second master usually boasted about how good his relationship with Zongzheng was, and his subordinates also echoed it, and the death of the second master frightened Wang Zixi hurriedly came to Zongzheng to report, afraid that Zongzheng would punish him, but he didn't expect Zongzheng to take it seriously.

After a few days of travel, Zong Zheng took 10,000 people to camp on the opposite shore, because the number of 300,000 soldiers and horses in Wanyan Thunderbolt was too large, naturally not as fast as Zong Zheng.

After Zong Zheng arranged the soldiers, he crossed the river with 3,000 people and came to the ** military camp to call for battle.

When Yu Wenlong heard about this, he sent 200,000 troops to surround Zongzheng's group, rode to Zongzheng on horseback, and saw that Zongzheng was fearless.

"At this time, he is calm and composed, and he is worthy of being a legend in this world, but his hands are difficult to reach four fists, I see how your thousands of men and horses can escape from my army of 200,000 today. After Yu Wenlong finished speaking, let five hundred martial arts masters who had been named generals surround Zongzheng.

"I'm not here to fight, in the past, you and I fought side by side, and I didn't want to meet you in battle, so there was no other way to turn war into jade silk than to sacrifice the city?"

"What's the matter? Zong Zheng, being the emperor, so timid and afraid, is this begging for mercy?" Yu Wenlong looked at the Zongzheng under the horse.

"Forget it, I will duel with five hundred martial arts masters, if I lose, the territory of the Zongzheng Empire will be owned by the Tang State, if I win, what will I do if Marshal Yuwen retreats, I am already the emperor, you have no joke!" Zongzheng looked at the five hundred masters around him.

"I don't count this, if you defeat these five hundred masters, my army of 200,000 will fire ten thousand arrows at you, and I won't be fooled by you. After Yu Wenlong finished speaking, five hundred masters rushed towards Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng asked three thousand soldiers not to make a move.

In this way, Zong Zheng held the Chiyan Heaven Killing Sword and fought with the five hundred masters, not to mention the martial arts of the five hundred masters, just relying on Zong Zheng's Red Flame Heaven Killing Sword to cut steel like mud, and the weapons of the five hundred masters collided with it, they were cut into two pieces, and they couldn't get close at all, plus Zong Zheng was wearing golden Xuantie armor, so naturally he couldn't hurt him at all.

is worthy of being a martial arts master, Zong Zheng fought with them for more than an hour, and only hacked and injured more than 20 people, Zong Zheng felt that he would be captured after all.

He looked at Yu Wenlong, who was riding a horse not far away and watching the excitement, and slashed and rushed towards him all the way.

The soldiers around Yu Wenlong reminded him to retreat quickly, for fear that Zong Zheng would kill Yu Wenlong.

Yu Wenlong felt that Zong Zheng was a powerful sword of Chiyan Killing Heaven, and he was not afraid of Zong Zheng at all, nor did he retreat, waiting for Zong Zheng to kill him.

Zong Zheng got closer and closer to Yu Wenlong, jumped into the air, and slashed at Yu Wenlong with a sword in both hands, Yu Wenlong hurriedly dismounted, picked up a stone hammer of three hundred catties and smashed it at Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng's Red Flame Killing Heaven was blocked.

"Haha, I specially picked these three hundred pounds of stone hammers, specifically for you. Yu Wenlong picked up the stone hammer with both hands and smashed it at Zongzheng.

Zong Zheng hurriedly dodged, one turned around and ran behind Yu Wenlong, and put his sword on Yu Wenlong's neck, Yu Wenlong grabbed Zong Zheng's wrist with his right hand, hit it backwards, let go of his right hand, and knocked Zong Zheng to the ground.

"That's a lot of energy!" said Zongzheng lying on the ground.

Yu Wenlong picked up the stone hammer and smashed it at Zongzheng, Zongzheng backflipped, dodged the sledgehammer, and after landing, jumped forward and stood on top of the sledgehammer.

Quickly cut off Yu Wenlong's hands holding the stone hammer with his sword, and Yu Wenlong, who was in pain, looked up to the sky and shouted in pain.

Five hundred masters rushed to Zongzheng, Zongzheng slashed a few people to death with a wave left and right, jumped to Yu Wenlong's side, and put a sword on Yu Wenlong's neck, so that the soldiers made a way, the soldiers saw that their marshal was captured, although they surrounded Zongzheng, but still gave them the way, and when Zongzheng they got on the boat, they threw Yuwenlong to the shore, and 200,000 troops and thousands of arrows were fired at Zongzheng them, Zongzheng and they waved their weapons left and right to block the rain of arrows, and one after another people were shot and fell into the river.

When Zongzheng and they were about to arrive at their camp, they found hundreds of big ships shooting arrows at them, Zongzheng thought that he would die here, who knew that after Yan thunderbolt fell 300,000 troops with bows and arrows to the ** boat, ** saw that Zongzheng and their people were outnumbered, and hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and retreated.

Zong Zheng went ashore, and knelt down with a thunderbolt, "Your Majesty is too risky this time, forgive the old minister for being late in saving him, I hope Your Majesty will atone for his sins!"

"Marshal Wanyan, hurry up, didn't I abolish the bow ceremony. Zong Zheng lifted up the thunderbolt.

"Your Majesty is safe and sound, and the old minister is relieved. "Wanyan Thunderbolt and Zongzheng returned to the handsome camp, it turned out that Wanyan Thunderbolt saw Zongzheng's military camp, and asked the soldiers to know that Zongzheng ran to the other side of the river to call the formation, so he was so anxious to run to the river, and even let the 300,000 army swim across the river, and found Zongzheng, so he released arrows to repel **.

"Your Majesty must be going to spy on the military, right? It's too dangerous, and we'll go together when the old minister arrives." Wanyan looked at Zong Zheng excitedly.

Zong Zheng looked at Wanyan and looked anxious, "I went to negotiate, who knew that it failed, but I cut off Yu Wenlong's hands, and it was not in vain." ”

"Then it seems that Datang is going to change the marshal, but it's a pity, if you can subdue Yu Wenlong. It's a good thing for my Empire. Wan Yan Thunderbolt lowered his head.

"Marshal Wanyan is too worried, that Yu Wenlong's wife is the sister of the current Tang Emperor, he can't take refuge in us, if it weren't for my life this time, he would definitely be crushed to death by Yu Wenlong's three hundred catties of stone hammer. Zong Zheng knew that Wanyan Thunderbolt cherished heroes, so he told him the truth.

"Then what should we do next? bypass the 600,000-strong army and attack the territory of the Tang Kingdom?"

"Surround Wei to save Zhao, how can the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle be used?" Zong Zheng drank water.

"Wei Wei to save Zhao, Wei is in the west of Liao, what can he do us to help?" Wan Yan also drank water.

"Haha, you don't understand, our biggest crisis is the Empress of the Jin Kingdom in the north, because we don't know anything about her, and the Tang Army in front of us still needs to be solved. Zongzheng took a bite of the pastry.

"Then what is Your Majesty's plan?" Wan Yan stood up.

"Hmm...... I think about it, 300,000 vs. 600,000, yes, I asked Marshal Yan, where does the drinking water come from?

"When fighting and marching, we will bring water, most of which are taken from the nearest materials, and it should be based on the river water between us. Wanyan thunderbolt walked to the side of Zongzheng.

Then send 50,000 men to the river to stock up on 300,000 people for ten days, and remember not to set fire to light, not to speak, and to behead those who violate the order! Then send 50,000 men on both sides of the river five miles, a total of 100,000 people, set up sluices, block the water, and when the day is about to dawn, send 50,000 people to sprinkle laxatives like Hanoi, so that if the enemy army has diarrhea in the early stage, they will think that the river water is not suitable for drinking, and after three days, we can send 100,000 troops to break off, and 200,000 troops will be ** In one fell swoop, it is now noon, now send people to make up as ordinary people, send out 10,000 people, one catty per person, to the surrounding cities to buy powdered laxatives, that is, 10,000 catties, this big river is five miles wide, about 100 meters deep, 10,000 catties of laxatives put in, the enemy army will not be able to find it. After Zongzheng finished speaking, he sent 10,000 people out to buy laxatives.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks you are really powerful, you can use any tricks, amazing, admire. Wanyan gave a thumbs up and looked at Zong Zheng with a smile.

"I'm just not good at science, otherwise I'll give you the research of airplanes, tanks, machine guns, and unify the world in a month. Zong Zheng looked at Zong Zheng who put down his thumb.

"Airplanes, tanks, machine guns, no wonder they all say that Your Majesty is a man of God, and I really don't understand some of them. Wan Yan Thunderbolt lowered his head.

"Haha, you take 20,000 horses tonight to find a way to cross the shore, if the enemy crosses the river and attacks at night, you will burn their camp, so that they have no way to retreat, if they break their hands because of Yu Wenlong, no one to command, tomorrow morning, the enemy soldiers are sleepy and tired to cover up and kill into the camp, buy time for the soldiers who spread laxatives, and then work hard for the two of you, tomorrow night when the ugly time will cover up and harass, I will lead the 180,000 army to cross the river in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, let's fight back and forth, if you kill while saying that no one intercepts the road to the Tang Kingdom, the soldiers will not sleep well for two nights, plus the river water that drank laxatives, they will inevitably flee back to the Tang Kingdom in a panic, and the 600,000 army will definitely collapse, and this battle will be wonZongzheng clenched the water glass in his hand.

"Yes, then arrange an ambush and kill all the soldiers who escaped, a clever plan!" Wan Yan thunderbolt patted his thigh happily.

"No! Let the enemy army escape, we are going to crush the enemy army this time, not destroy them all, the favor of the five princes, we have to pay back, and the northern Jin border has a million soldiers, there is what we have to worry about, and it is the best policy to repel the 600,000 troops of the Tang State. Zong Zheng put down the water glass.

"Okay, I'll go and arrange for the soldiers to store the water and set up the sluices. Your Majesty is really a man of God. After Yan Thunderbolt finished speaking, he walked out of the handsome camp and went to arrange for someone to do things.

As soon as the three days arrived, according to the Zongzheng plan, he led 180,000 people to cross the river and attack the ** military camp, and Wanyan Thunderbolt behind the military camp was also killed.

** Two days of lack of sleep, coupled with drinking laxative-infused river water, unsteady standing, Zongzheng's soldiers are not exaggerating to fight with one enemy and ten.

Hearing that no one intercepted the road to the Tang Kingdom, they fled to the Tang State one after another, and in this way, the Tang State army was crushed, scattered sand, and fled back to the Tang Kingdom.

Zong Zheng and Wanyan Thunderbolt watched ** In order to escape, they didn't even have time to take away the grain and grass camp, and Zong Zheng asked Wanyan Thunderbolt to arrange someone to bring the grain and grass and prepare to return to Baiyi City.

Feeling a blow on his head, his helmet fell to the ground, his right hand pulled out the Chiyan Sky Killing Sword and turned around and stabbed back, looking at the person who was penetrated in the abdomen in front of him turned out to be You Li, the first of the original internal guards of the Jin Kingdom, wearing the clothes of Zongzheng's soldiers, and the tip of You Li's sword touched Zongzheng's neck, only scratching a little skin, and there was no blood.

Wanyan immediately pulled out his sword and slashed at You Li's neck, and the head fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, it was the old minister who was derelict in his duties and injured His Majesty, please atone for your sins!" Wanyan thunderbolted his sword downward, and his hands clenched into fists.

Zong Zheng withdrew the Chiyan Sky Killing Sword, put the sword back in the scabbard, put the helmet strap that fell on the ground, and looked at Wanyan Thunderbolt without speaking, walking to the shore, he knew that although it was not Wanyan Thunderbolt's fault, but if he took care of him now, if he did anything in the future, there must be a fluke mentality, the emperor's technique, not speaking at this time, is the best choice.

Wanyan Thunderbolt had never seen such a serious face of Zongzheng, and he was afraid, so he withdrew his sword and led his men and horses to transport grain and grass back to Bai Yi City.

Along the way, Zong Zheng sat in the carriage and didn't say a word, and when he entered the capital, Lu Yue and hundreds of civil and military officials went out of the city to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Prime Minister Han that the people who got the plague in the Liao Kingdom, after doing the test medicine, really bought a large number of medicinal materials that you asked me to hoard before, and we made a lot of money this time!" Lu Yue hugged Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng looked at the expressions of the civil and military officials.

Gently pushed Lu Yue away, "Sister Huang, in front of the public, don't be like this, when no one is around, you are fine, good, I still have to go to court." ”

The civil and military officials followed Zong Zheng into the Jinluan Palace, and Zong Zheng sat on the dragon chair.

"Zhao Congjun, how are corrupt officials handled?"

"Back to Your Majesty, more than 300 corrupt officials and corrupt officials were executed, and more than 200 people were dismissed. Zhao Congjun bowed to Zong Zheng.

"Thank you for your hard work, but as soon as you are careful, you will immediately set up a clean and honest department, and announce to the world that the officials and their families who have been executed or dismissed can be re-investigated, and the executed officials and their families can be reinstated, and those who have been dismissed can be reinstated. Zong Zheng put his hands on his knees.

"Obey!" Zhao Congjun finished speaking and retreated into the ranks of hundreds of officials.

"How is the border of the Jin Kingdom now?" Zong Zheng looked at His Highness Baiguan.

"Back to Your Majesty! The envoy of the Jin Kingdom is still in the city, and the million-strong army on the border of the Jin State is facing Marshal Lian Po, and there has been no war yet. "Han Sai walked out of the ranks of hundreds of officials.

"Herald!" Zong Zheng stood up!
