At this time, Zhou Jiaqi had already arrived at the east gate to persuade another powerful general in Macheng, Yelu Wura, although Yelu Wura was moved, but he didn't dare to do it, who knew that Li Shifu had sent the head of Oro and the envoy who patrolled the city, Yelu Wura was terrified, and thought: "Now Dajin is over, and it won't last long." If I don't want to die, it's only a matter of time before I surrender! What's more, they are now in control of the situation again, and even the Oro is dead, if I don't surrender, I will immediately have to be the same as the Oro! So he swore an oath to heaven and was willing to be loyal. He also said: "Now the east and west gates have been controlled by us, but there are still many Oro's dead friends in the city, it is better for us to leave 200 people to guard the west gate, and the rest of the people will immediately set off to kill the Oro's dead friends!" ”

Zhou Jiaqi was overjoyed, Yelu Wura handed over the east gate to Huang Zhen, and left his deputy to lead a hundred crossbowmen to help Huang Zhen defend, and he took more than 100 horsemen to kill the remnants of Oro with Zhou Jiaqi.

The change was sudden, the remnants of the Oro party did not have time to assemble, and after seeing the head of the Oro, they were panicked and frightened, and most of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered under the threat of Zhou Jiaqi and Yelu Wura, but there were still a small number of brave Jurchens who resisted, but the number was small and scattered, and they were soon killed by Zhou Jiaqi and Yelu Wura. The two tied up the surrender army and took the head to report to Li Shifu.

At this time, news came from the West Gate, it turned out that although Zhang Zhonghan had promised to let Li Shifu go first, the more he thought about it afterwards, the more worried he became, and after the second group of troops went ashore, he sent five hundred cavalry to respond. This time the leader came with a captain, who was above Li Shifu, and when he entered the city, he found that Li Shifu had pacified Macheng, and he secretly admired it in his heart.

Li Shifu said: "Lord Duwei, Macheng Luancheng is not far from each other. Now that Macheng is broken quickly, most of the Luancheng side has not received the news, I want to take the opportunity to take Luancheng, and Pingzhou will be in our hands! ”

The lieutenant said, "Will it be too urgent?" ”

Li Shifu said: "If you wait for Luancheng to get the news, it will be difficult to get it at that time!" Macheng is too small, 5,000 soldiers and horses can't defend it for a long time, can't Luancheng, and can't succeed after all! Besides, the city is very small, and there are three or five hundred men enough to defend, so the failure of my attempt will still not affect the defense of the city. Then he talked about his plan to take Luancheng.

The lieutenant was overjoyed and said, "Good plan! At this time, Macheng had a total of 800 Han soldiers and horses, and 6 or 700 new soldiers and horses, and the captain had the intention to let Li Shifu achieve miraculous feats, in addition to agreeing that he would lead Yelu Wura to attack Luancheng, he also promised to increase his 200 Han troops. He also sent people to Pegasus to the seashore to urge the main general Zhang Zhonghan to march into the army.

Li Shifu was worried that Huang Zhen and Xu Changzhi's subordinates were too tired, so he wanted to change the two hundred-person teams, who knew that Huang and Xu were all clamoring when they heard it, and shouted: "We are not tired!" With such a great achievement, how can you let others go! Li Shifu wants to lead the way of the troops, it is better to be familiar with it, this time the capture of Macheng has made these two hundred teams have trust in themselves, if it is beneficial to take them to command, he agreed, led the Han army of 500 people, with 300 people of Yelu Wura as the front to Luancheng. Li Shifu himself wore the clothes of the city patrol envoy, and wanted to pretend to be the city patrol envoy to deceive the Luancheng city gate.

The stronghold of Macheng is very close to Luancheng, and when he arrives in Luancheng, it is in the afternoon, Yelu Wura sent someone to take the seal letter to report the news, and it didn't take long for Cao Xuanliang, the governor of Luanzhou, to bring people out, Li Shifu stepped forward, Cao Xuanliang saw so many people, and for some reason he was sweating profusely, and said again and again: "Is there something going on over there in Yuguan?" Why...... Hey! "It turns out that Li Shifu's department was hastily modified after all, and there was no flaw in Yelu Wura in front, but it was easy to see through on his side.

Cao Xuanliang looked left and right, then looked at Li Shifu, and said, "Han...... Han Army? ”

Li Shifu laughed and shouted: "Not bad! He was about to give the order to do it, Cao Xuanliang paused and said, "Alas! How did it come so early! ”

Li Shifu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then heard Cao Xuanliang say: "Didn't you say that it was tomorrow?" ”

Li Shifu didn't answer, and said casually: "It's ahead of schedule." ”

Cao Xuanliang said: "Alas, it's good to come, it's good to come!" Quick, quick, into town! "As he spoke, he led the way.

Li Shifu was very strange, patted the horse to follow, followed Cao Xuanliang without leaving half a step, and when he entered the city, he saw that Cao Xuanliang was not hostile, and his heart was even more strange, Cao Xuanliang invited Li Shifu to enter the state government to discuss matters, Li Shifu ordered Yelu Wulu to accept the south gate they passed through, Cao Xuanliang knew that he was cautious, and he did not care, and ordered the city gate generals to hand over the defense.

After entering the state office, Cao Xuanliang smiled and held a booklet and said, "I don't know what the general is called?" Any position? ”

Li Shifu said frankly: "Li Shifu. "But not the position.

Cao Xuanliang said: "Here is the city defense atlas and grain and grass accounts of Luanzhou, please take a look at the general." ”

Li Shifu picked it up and looked at it twice, but he still didn't quite understand it in his heart, and casually asked how many soldiers and horses there were in the city, and how much money and food there were.

Cao Xuanliang said: "There are 3,000 foot soldiers, 2,200 light horsemen, and 10,000 people with money and food for three months." ”

Li Shifu pondered for a while, then handed over the atlas to Cao Xuanliang and said: "My department is only a striker, this is just a war, not to seize the power of Lord Cao, the logistics are still presided over by Lord Cao, and the defenders in the city are still under the command of Lord Cao, and everything will be talked about when the Lord comes." ”

Cao Xuanliang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Han Xiang is really a believer!" ”

Li Shifu said in his heart: "Han Xiang? Could it be Han Fang? So the people of the north and his head! He smiled slightly and said: "Lord Cao has made this great achievement, and he has his own reward in front of the general." ”

Cao Xuanliang was overjoyed and said, "Will the general also come?" I'm just a kind of general going south. ”

Li Shifu said in his heart: "General? Could it be the well-known seed under Xiao Shuai's tent? I heard that this person changed his surname because he admired Chong Shaobao, and his achievements and merits were not under the kind of loyalty, so he deserves this surname! ”

Cao Xuanliang said: "Brother Xiao Deqin in Pingzhou is also interested in the Han Dynasty, although he is a deputy general, but in Pingzhou, he responds to every call, and the general comes, it is not difficult to get this city." But in the south of Macheng, although the city is small, but very hard, close to Luancheng, and the Oro is a Jurchen, I am afraid there will be some trouble. ”

Li Shifu smiled: "Do you recognize Oro? Do you recognize Jeruvula? ”

"Jeruvula?" Cao Xuanliang said: "The lower officials have inquired about the generals in the neighboring state cities, and they know that he is a partial general in Macheng, but it is nothing serious, and he has never been in contact, so he doesn't recognize him." Why did General Lee suddenly mention it? "He is the governor of Luanzhou, his status is not low, and Oro is also under him, but Yelu Wura is not enough to compare with him.

Li Shifu smiled: "I see. No wonder you don't recognize the one who is now guarding the south gate of Luancheng, who is Yeluwura of Macheng. ”

Cao Xuanliang was surprised: "This ...... What's going on? ”

Li Shifu said with a smile: "Lord Cao, you recognize the wrong person, although I am also a general of the Han army, but I am not under the command of Xiao Ziqi, but under the command of the three generals of Tanggu. The army on the Tanggu side will arrive today, so you can rest assured. ”

Cao Xuanliang was happy and surprised, happy that the Han army was attacking from two roads, and the success was naturally greater, and he was surprised that he was between the two giants of Yang Sanxiao and Liu, and he didn't know if he would be jealous after returning to Han.

Li Shifu said: "Why are you doing this? As if he wasn't happy. ”

Cao Xuanliang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Li Shifu said: "Don't worry, anyway, I don't dare to come from the third general or the sixth general, this credit is indispensable to you." ”

Cao Xuanliang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”

Li Shifu said: "Don't talk about this, let's first rectify the military affairs, send an order to the city, and see if there is anyone who is not obedient to the Han." He coerced Cao Xuanliang to do something. Cao Xuanliang has been preparing for this matter for a long time, and there is already a group of henchmen distributed in Luancheng in various key points, and most of the dissidents have been eliminated.

On the morning of the second day, a total of three groups of people from the north and south arrived. The first group is about 500 reinforcements from the south, soon after they entered the city, there were Jin army envoys in the direction of Pingzhou in the north to enter the city for help, it turned out that there was a rebellion in Pingzhou last night, although Xiao Deqin, who launched a rebellion, was executed, but the Han army has also come to the city, and is fighting at the moment. The general of Pingzhou did not know about the changes in Luanzhou, and even sent an envoy to ask for help.

Cao Xuanliang pacified the messenger, and asked Li Shifu after entering, Li Shifu said: "Promise him, just say that we will send reinforcements to rescue him immediately!" ”

When Cao Xuanliang heard this, he said happily: "Brilliant plan! ”

The two discussed the details, and there were envoys from the north to come in a roundabout way, but this time it was a secret envoy to go to the disease, it turned out that Pingzhou changed suddenly, and the disease was not enough to fight Pingzhou, so they sent people to Luanzhou in the hope that Cao Xuanliang would lead the army to help. Li Shifu asked the messenger to go back and reply, and agreed on a strategy to take Pingzhou.

Immediately, Li Shifu led the Han army of 500 people, and the army of 1,000 people was the front, and Cao Xuanliang led 2,000 people to the rear and drove in the direction of Pingzhou.

The soldiers and horses crossed the Luanshui, arrived at the city of Pingzhou at dusk, the Han army that attacked Pingzhou was not more than 10,000, and the scout cavalry saw that there were thousands of reinforcements from Luanzhou, and went back to pray, and led the army to retreat slightly when he was sick.

Shi Lu, the general of Pingzhou, ordered to open the south gate of the city to greet him, but Cao Xuanliang did not enter the city, and sent an envoy into the city to agree with Shi Lu: Tomorrow, when the Han army comes to attack, it will be convenient for both sides to go out of the city and attack inside and outside.

That night, Li Shifu and Cao Xuanliang were stationed outside the city, and the next day they led the army to attack, Li Shifu led the army to rush over, cut the Han army into two, Shi Lu was overjoyed, and led the troops out of the city to attack. Li Shifu saw that the military horse turned around and rushed towards the city gate, as if to meet Shi Lu, the Han army saw that Li Shifu's army retreated, Shi Lu secretly admired, and thought: "Who is the general under Cao Xuanliang?" So powerful! In the Han army, it is like entering a no-man's land! ”

After all, Shi Lu is a person who knows how to fight, and when Li Shifu's department approached, he gradually saw that something was wrong, but at this time the two sides were very close, Li Shifu made a move, dozens of horse archers fired arrows at Shi Lu together, Shi Lu was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the horse under the crotch was hit by two arrows.

Seeing that they could not do anything, Cao Xuanliang entered the city to make a list, summoned the gentry of the wealthy families in the city, and affirmed the intention of returning to the Han Dynasty. All the gentry of the wealthy clan said: "We have been waiting for the Han army and horses for a long time!" Why did you come today! ”

He took out the appointment document when he was sick, and immediately ordered Cao Xuanliang to be the governor of Hanping Prefecture, and also led the government affairs of Luanzhou, and took out a letter of condolence drawn by Zhiyan Chong, Cao Xuanliang was overjoyed and kowtowed to the north to show his loyalty.
