Chapter 114 The Tiger Forcing the Dragon's Horn Frontier

Ouyang Shi was a little surprised when he heard Wang Gui say that he could make Xiongzhou out of the situation, but this time he was really surprised, and asked him: "What kind of situation can Lord Wang make Xiongzhou out?" ”

Wang Gui said: "Now Tong Taishi is the Xuanfu envoy of the two rivers, and he is the top boss of Xiongzhou Zhizhou and Milling......"

Ouyang Shi heard the name He Mill and his heart suddenly, so he heard Wang Gui continue: "...... I have a token of Master Tong! When I go to Xiongzhou, let He Mill build a city wall to prepare for the upcoming Northern Expedition! In this way, that Yelu Dashi must go to Xiongzhou! ”

Luo Xianqi praised when he heard it: "Wonderful plan! Coup! Lord Wang's clever calculations are beyond the reach of his later life! ”

Li Yinggu was also very satisfied. These days, Yelu Dashi lingered at the door of his house, which made him very uncomfortable, afraid that the other party would not deal with him and rushed over. Now, if the Yelu Dashi is led to the west, even if there is a disturbance on the Xiongzhou side, it is none of his business - as for Xiongzhou, which is also the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the war disaster arises, the whole country will suffer together, but it is not the focus of his consideration. Li Yinggu thought of this and was also busy helping, praising Wang Gui for his talent and the wisdom of Kong Ming!

Ouyang Shi listened and said, "What is going on with these people from the Great Song Dynasty? Call them stupid, but sometimes they're so smart! This Wang Gui's strategy is exactly the same as Ying Qi! But how can they be stupid when it comes to other things! But he pretended to be stupid and said: "Xiongzhou has built a city wall, and what is the matter with that Liao general?" ”

Wang Gui smiled and said: "Well, there is a mystery in it!" "It took a while to sell it before I told the reason.

It turned out that Song Liao compromised and made an alliance between the two countries, and one of the most important contents of the covenant was that although the border city between the two countries could be preserved and repaired, it could not be built and innovated. This is not only a symbol of "peace" between Song and Liao, but also a mutual military restriction! Therefore, once Xiongzhou, whose geographical location is more important than Cangzhou, begins to build additional city defenses, even if it is just a pretense, Yelu Dashi's attention will definitely be attracted to it.

After listening to the explanation, Ouyang Shi also admired: "What a clever plan! It's just that this matter has a lot to do with it, so don't make it difficult for the two of you. Also, can Lord Wang move and mill? ”

Wang Gui said with a smile: "As General Ouyang said, the imperial court is going to go on a northern expedition, and this alliance will be destroyed sooner or later!" I took the token of Master Tong to go, and I didn't dare not listen! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Although there is a token of Master Tong, but in case that He Mill is a rotten Confucian, wouldn't it be bad?" Breaking the alliance of the abyss is not a trivial matter after all, and without an official document, he may not listen to you. He pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "There you have! It's better to go to Xiongzhou to explore and mill first, and it is naturally best for him to cooperate, if you don't cooperate, you will retreat to the next best thing, and let him build a bamboo frame on the city wall. ”

Wang Gui was stunned and said, "Bamboo shelf? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Yes! Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty is going to attack this time, as long as the Liao people are coaxed, there is no need to really build more walls. You let He Mill build a bamboo frame on the city wall, and at the same time, we will swagger and transport some earth, tiles and stones over, pretending that we collected the civil engineering some time ago just to transport it to Xiongzhou. In this way, the purpose of 'leading the water to the west' has also been achieved, and building a bamboo frame is not bad for the Old Testament of the Liao and Song dynasties. If something goes wrong, you have a room to excuse yourself. ”

The last sentence was in the arms of Wang and Li, and they were praised again and again. It is much easier to let He Mill build a few bamboo shelves on the city wall than to let him build more walls, and no matter what the result is, he can shirk the responsibility is a trick to be an official! At that moment, several people discussed many details, and finally finalized the time.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty, in the second year of Liaobao, in the first month, the sky turned cloudy, and Yelu Dashi, who was in the army for the New Year, looked at the south and looked at the north, and saw a melancholy between his eyebrows. Outside the camp, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and the spies came to report: "Xiongzhou Guixin, Rongcheng, and Anxin have all set up bamboo shelves, and it seems that they want to build more city defenses!" ”

Yelu Dashi's face changed. Soon his lieutenant Xiao Gan hurriedly ran over and said: "News in Cangzhou, those earth, wood and stones are being transported in the direction of Xiongzhou!" ”

Yelu Dashi exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's Xiongzhou!" ”

Xiao Gan asked, "What should I do?" ”

Yelu Dashi said: "Pull out the camp!" Walk! ”

Xiao Gan said: "Now the north is unstable, if there is a gap in the south again, it will be ......"

Yelu Dashi said: "Let's go and see first!" It doesn't have to be a war. Hum! The Song people like to engage in these little actions! In the past, they planted willows, built embankments, ploughed land, and opened ponds on the border, but did they do less? ”

The Khitan cavalry is at stake, and the Song court is well aware of it. The Song also had their own peasant methods for dealing with the nomads: planting willows and building embankments to make the terrain less open, and ploughing and opening ponds to make the surface of the ground potholes, both of which were local methods of restricting horses' feet - but they were also very effective.

Xiao Gan also said: "I hope they are just testing us this time." ”

Yelu Dashi said: "So you can't show weakness!" ”

The Liao army pulled out the camp at dusk, and the crowd marched westward, and it didn't go far before it snowed heavily, Xiao Gan said: "Good weather! The southerners are not accustomed to the cold, and in such weather, even if there is anything wrong, they will be frozen back to their nest! ”

Yang Yingqi, who was far away at sea, suddenly shivered and got into the cabin, where the coal stove was burning, but Yang Yingqi still felt cold.

Cao Guangbi stepped in, saw him like this, and sneered: "Old Seven, do you need this?" It's been so many years since Huining, and you haven't gotten used to it? When I was in Death Valley, I didn't see you so useless in the Great Xianbei Mountain! ”

Yang Yingqi sighed: "At the beginning, there were no conditions in Death Valley and Daxianbei Mountain, so you have to get used to it if you don't get used to it." Later, I settled down in Huining, had a good house, and a good coal stove, but I became afraid of the cold again. Alas, this is probably called being cold and worrying, and being afraid of cold and being happy! ”

"Haha, you know it yourself!" It was Ouyang Shi who said this. Yang Yingqi saw him come in and asked, "Speaking of which, you have been in Daliuqiu for two years, and the weather over there is so warm, why haven't you become afraid of cold?" ”

Ouyang Shi sneered: "I passed with a grudge, and vowed not to break out of the world and not return to Jinmen!" Although it has been developed over there now, I haven't had a comfortable day anymore, where is it like you? ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and asked, "Fourth brother, are you blaming me?" ”

Ouyang Shi smiled and said, "What do you blame?" You didn't use dirty means, and you did the right thing. Still, I like the weather in the north. It's cold, but it's cold! ”

Yang Yingqi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Fourth brother, ...... you?"

Ouyang Shi interrupted him and said, "Don't talk about these gossips! I just got the message! Jeroda has set up camp! ”

Cao Guangbi and Yang Yingqi's eyes lit up, and Cao Guangbi patted Yang Yingqi's shoulder and said, "Well done!" ”

Yang Yingqi frowned and said, "But this kind of weather...... Alas, it is normal for the weather to have this kind of weather in the first month, but it has become too cold in the past two days. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "No matter, hurry up!" The opportunity is lost, I heard you say that Yelu Dashi is not a mediocre person like Li Yinggu, don't let him see through the mechanism, then we will have to go home obediently! ”

Ouyang Shi immediately ordered all the ships to move north immediately, and the small boats were ready to dock. Cao Guangbi also ordered 800 soldiers to prepare to land.

There was no Liao army in the line of sight on the coast, and dozens of sailors stepped on the sampan to go ashore to explore, and after making sure that there were no traps, the infantry under Cao Guangbi went ashore first, followed by cavalry, followed by horses! The horses had been trapped in the boat for a long time, and they were all happy when they touched the ground.

Then the sappers brought by Yang Yingqi and Ouyang Shi's sailors moved all kinds of materials ashore, the first batch was fence tents, followed by mud and masonry. Because the weather was so cold, the progress of the transportation was much slower than before.

Li Yinggu, who was in the Nigu Village on the south side of the Jiehe River, heard that Ouyang Shi had already launched, so he simply sent the people to help. At that time, the boundary river had frozen, and the people of the Song realm did not need to take a boat when they came, so they explored a stable Ling Road and led the mules and horses over. Even the civil engineering that was prepared for the seashore was not transferred by sea boat, and it was pulled directly across the ice from the ice.

"This Cangzhou Zhizhou ......" Seeing Li Yinggu help so much, Yang Yingqi stood at the bow of the boat and sighed: "How can I say that he is good." ”

"This Cangzhou Zhizhou ......" When he saw Lushui, Yelu Dashi asked Xiao Gan: "It seems to be a bad character." At this time, his men were exploring the frozen water.

"Well, I heard that it was because of Tong Guan that I sat in my current position."

"No, no!"

"What's wrong?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I always feel that something is wrong." Yelu Dashi said: "This change in Cangzhou is not like a merchant trading, our spies can't get in some important places, and some suspicious places haven't been able to find out the news!" Also, you seem to say that two of the most capable of them are missing? ”

"Yes."

"That's even more wrong!" Yelu Dashi groaned: "You immediately send a small team of people to the opposite side of Xiaonan River Village to the seaside, and run for me along the boundary river!" ”

At this moment, the subordinates reported that they had found a stable Ling Road to cross the water.

"It's not a river!" Jelu Dashi ordered: "Stand on the spot and wait for the dispatch!" ”
