Chapter 8: Ambush I

Yang Yingqi asked Ouyang Shi: "How far is it from here?" Found we didn't? ”

Ouyang Shi said: "I found some clues and stole over to see in person, the place where those Khitans are stationed is very close to here, but they shouldn't know that we are hiding here." ”

Yang Yingqi asked again: "How many people are there?"

Ouyang Shi said: "It's not a dozen or twenty people, there are more than twenty horses, it seems that it should be an outpost." ”

Cao Guangbi got up and said, "This is already the Song Realm!" The Khitans actually appeared here! No, I have to report to the Xiongzhou defenders. ”

Yang Yingqi stopped him and said, "Why is Brother Cao so anxious, inquire clearly first." He asked Ouyang Shi again: "Is there an army behind this group of people?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "No." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Since this is the case, why don't we eat these ten or twenty people." ”

Di Yu heard this: "Just now you said that the trespassers are hiding under the Nine Lands, and we are now running out of food, and it is too late to hide, how can we still provoke them!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "If we let them chase calmly, we are afraid that we will not have a good life, so we must use a small means, and it is best to let Song and Liao have a small dispute on the border." The Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao have always been sensitive to each other's borders, as long as they put their minds on each other, they will not pay attention to us little fish who have slipped through the net! In this way, we can take it off calmly. Then he said his plan, to lead the Khitan army to step on the trap of the Song army. Zhi Yanchong and the others felt that this plan was too bold when they heard it, but Ouyang Shi applauded repeatedly.

Cao Guangbi heard half of it, and suddenly stood up and said: "Guangbi is a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't participate in this kind of thing." ”

Yang Yingqi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Cao, we are also Han, and we don't want our mother state to suffer. Now such a calculation is really a last resort! ”

Cao Guangbi pondered for a long time and said: "You have no choice but to do it, I understand, but I should not be involved in this matter because of my feelings and reason." Don't worry, even if I don't go with you in this matter, I won't tell you. ”

Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "Although you agreed, if you don't drag you into the water, I'm afraid that things will still change!" Then he said: "We have another thing we want to ask Brother Cao, I don't know if Brother Cao can help." ”

Cao Guangbi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "We are running out of grain and grass, and we see that we have to go deep into the Taihang Mountains and go north to the desert, so we have to prepare some money and grain no matter what." Brother Cao has been here for a long time, I don't know where to raise some grain and grass? ”

Cao Guangbi thought for a while and sighed: "Soldiers and horses can't do without food and grass. I couldn't say it, so I had to borrow it. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "We don't have any good relatives who can lend us so much grain and grass. ”

Ouyang Shi smiled: "Haha, Xiao Yingqi! Do you really not understand or fake do not understand! Brother Cao said that borrowing grain is actually robbery! ”

Yang Kaiyuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but Cao Guangbi said with a straight face: "I am in a hurry, and I have to do one or two things when I have to, but it is not okay to make a living from this." He turned his head to Di Yu and said, "Has Di Daxia heard of Zhao Lumin?" ”

Di Yu said: "I heard that Yan and Zhao were rich, going back and forth between the Liao and Song dynasties, selling tea, horses, and silk, and even violating the ban on goods!" It's a hand-eyed figure. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Not bad. This person is cunning rabbit three caves, although he settled in Nanjing, Liao, but there are mansions in Xiongzhou, Baozhou, and Cangzhou, and there is also a nest in this vicinity! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "What do you mean, do you want to 'borrow' some money and grain from this Zhao Lumin?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Almost." ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "This person is not simple, so he is not easy to deal with, right?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "He has hundreds of hands in the Liao Song Dynasty, and that small village is also stable, but he is not here at the moment, and it is estimated that there are only fifty or sixty people in it." This person has filial piety to the border generals of both the Liao and Song dynasties. and the green forest heroes in the Taihang Mountain area also exchanged voices. The larger military horses are not good at tearing their faces to beat him, and the smaller ones dare not provoke him, so this stockade can be safe. But we can take it with our words. ”

Di Yu said: "How many things are in it? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "I was ordered to send a letter to Zhao Lumin to negotiate, so I know the details of this village. This is the stronghold where he travels from south to north and makes friends with heroes, and there are enough rations for hundreds of people for two or three months. He probably won't leave the red goods behind in his absenceβ€”otherwise wouldn't it be a sight to behold? But there should be some weapons and clothing. ”

Orihiko rushed: "Okay! Just take it. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "I have a humble official position, but I can afford to accept this surname Zhao, and I have never been courteous to me." Now it is a little unreasonable to take people to rob his stockade now, so after entering the village, please try not to set fire to and kill people - if you do not agree to this, I will not dare to take you there. ”

Orihiko said: "We are not really robbers, we just borrowed the necessary things and left." ”

"Okay." Cao Guangbi stood up, figured out where he was, and said, "Now it's the second watch, right?" I don't think I'm going to rest, so I'll pick out a hundred people and go overnight, and I'll arrive before the fourth watch. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "So urgent? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "You know everyone's situation better than me, and it is best to get out as soon as possible." Besides, I have a plan in mind - if I go again tomorrow and let Zhao Lumin's subordinates know that I have been expelled, this plan will not work. ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "Zhao Lumin's money and grain have to be borrowed, but the Khitans have to deal with it." In this way, we are divided into three ways. On the first road, Brother Cao Guangbi, Brother Shi Kangshi and Brother Kaiyuan led a hundred people to the border village of Zhao's family. On the second road, Brother Zhe, Uncle Di, Ouyang Shi, and Aluman led an elite 100 people to handle Khitan affairs. I'm in the middle of the rest. If Brother Cao takes the border village, we will retreat over there! After two days of recuperation, he set off to the depths of Taihang Mountain. ”

Zhi Yanchong nodded and said, "Okay, just do what Ying Qi said." ”

Cao Guangbi glanced at Yang Yingqi before leaving, and said, "Are you really less than thirteen years old?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "What's wrong with being thirteen years old? Ganro was already a prime minister when I was my age! ”

Cao Guangbi heaved twice and led people away. Under the leadership of Ouyang Shi, Zhe Yanchong, Di Yu and others bullied the garrisons of those Khitan outposts overnight, Zhe, Di, Ouyang, and Aluman each led twenty-five people, and quietly surrounded this small group of people.

The dozen or so Khitans were frightened, and they didn't know how many people and horses there were, and they fled north one after another. Ouyang Shi, who was lying in the north, suddenly appeared, and intercepted most of the escaped people and horses with a hastily made tripping rope, and only four horses escaped.

Orihiko Chong and others inspected the booty, and obtained a total of fifteen horses, twelve short swords, five bows, and seven swords. At that moment, he divided the manpower into two groups: Ouyang Shi led most of the people to join Yang Yingqi, and he, Di Yu, and Aluman led the other twelve people who were skilled in riding to set up bait.

Fifteen people hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, during which they spoke loudly, revealing the fact that they were actually Khitan fugitive slaves, and "accidentally" let a few captives escape. After a few captives left, Zhi Yanchong and others came in the direction of Xiongzhou, leaving extremely obvious horseshoe marks along the way.
