"Captain Liu, you have lived in the army for a long time and have rich experience, and the lives of thousands of people are all in your hands!" Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but said to King Liu Yan again, "I will go to Luoyang to inquire about the affairs of the imperial army, and before I come back, I must not act rashly!" ”

Thinking of resisting the Khitan attack in Yingzhou City, King Liu Yan felt ashamed.

Although there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in Yingzhou, they are all regular troops, with sufficient food and straw, and they are far from the city, so there should be no problem in holding on for three or five days. The Khitan claimed to have an army of 100,000, but in fact there were only 50,000 horses, and there were no siege tools.

But no one expected that the defenders would collapse at the touch of a button, and they would lose Yingzhou City in less than two hours.

King Liu Yan had no choice but to take his men and fight street battles with the Khitans in the city. Seeing that there were more and more Khitan soldiers attacking the city, they had no choice but to break out.

It can be regarded as good luck, he got out of Yingzhou City in embarrassment, and the things on Liu Yanwang's body were all lost, but the long lance was brought out by him.

After arriving in Longshan, the lance never leaves his body, even if he eats and sleeps.

At this moment, after listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, King Liu Yan poked the tail of the lance in his hand to the ground, and said sonorously: "Lu Gongzi rest assured, I must not only deal with it, but also preserve my strength, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army, I know it in my heart!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian turned his head to look at Qin Huo again, Qin Huo nodded solemnly and said: "Brother Lu, I know the severity, the national disaster is at the head, the brothers of Longshan Cottage must ignore their past suspicions and obey Captain Liu's orders!" ”

"The Khitan army is very strong in combat, but they have a weakness, that is, the lack of baggage supplies. Before the Imperial armies arrive, you can wait for an opportunity to strike at their supply lines. If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can leave, anyway, Longshan is located in the pine desert and Yingzhou, you have a chance! Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian said worriedly, "Also, Zhao Gongzi's people are very vengeful, Brother Huo has to be optimistic about them, and they must not be allowed to act recklessly!" ”

Qin Huo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them!" ”

After explaining to King Liu Yan and Qin Huo, Lu Xiaoxian instructed Xing Feng again: "There is one thing to be handed over to you, this matter is very important!" ”

When Lu Xiaoxian returned to Luoyang, he originally planned to leave Zhang Meng behind, but Zhang Meng died and did not follow.

Last year, Lu Xiaoxian went to Luoshu City and put Zhang Meng in Taozhou City. As a result, Lu Xiaoxian went for several months without news, and almost drove Zhang Meng crazy. After fighting, he will follow Lu Xiaoxian wherever he goes.

Lu Xiaoxian had no choice but to leave Xing Feng behind and let Zhang Meng go with him.

"Master, you just command!" Xing Feng nodded.

"After I leave, you take your men down to Dacheng Mountain, and you must find out the situation in the mountain clearly!"

Yin Feng and Lang Yue were going back to Luoyang with him this time, and Lu Xiaoxian was going to take ten strong slaves to accompany him along the way, and the rest of the strong slaves were all left to Xingfeng. With these manpower, Xing Feng will be sure of his actions.

"Dacheng Mountain is more than 200 miles away from here, and it is also nearly 100 miles away from Yingzhou City, what did Brother Lu ask him to do in Dacheng Mountain?" Qin Huo felt very strange.

"The imperial army crusaded against the Khitan, and it must gather troops in Youzhou, and it is necessary to pass through Dacheng Mountain to rush from Youzhou to Yingzhou City. There are two valleys in Dacheng Mountain, one is called East Kip Stone Valley, and the other is called West Kip Stone Valley, both of which are dangerous places......"

Qin Huo felt more and more strange that he had galloped here in this area of Yingzhou

For many years, I didn't know much about the East Kip Stone Valley and the West Kip Stone Valley, how could Lu Xiaoxian say these things in one bite.

King Liu Yan's heart couldn't help but move, and asked, "Young Master Lu, are you worried that the Khitans will set up an ambush here?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "The imperial army has a large number of people, and if they fight face-to-face with their strength, the Khitans will definitely not be able to bargain." And these two canyons can't spread too many people, they want to win more with less, the only way is to set up an ambush here! ”

When he was training in the military camp near the city, King Liu Yan felt that Lu Xiaoxian was different. Listening to his analysis now, it made King Liu Yan look up to him. In his opinion, Lu Xiaoxian's foresight and strategizing seem to be more sophisticated than many battle-hardened generals.

Of course, the king of Hades would not know that Lu Xiaoxian had crossed over from the later generations, and what he was worried about now was a fait accompli in the history of later generations: the Khitans ambushed the Great Zhou army in the West Kip Stone Valley, and finally the Great Zhou army was completely annihilated.

Hearing what Lu Xiaoxian said so cautiously, how dare Xing Feng slack off, he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, master, I will definitely find out the situation there clearly, and wait for the master to come back!" ”

……

Inside the house, there was a smell of blood, and Fang Hatshui looked indifferently at Yan Ke, whose eyes were wide open.

Yan Ke was originally Fang Hatshui's boss, but now he has become a cold corpse.

The mayor of Yingzhou is the parent official of the people, but Yan Ke, the parent official, has turned to the foreign clan to fight for the tiger, and the slaughter of the people in the city is directly related to him, and he is innocent of his death.

Fang hated water to kill Yan Ke, not only to seek justice for the dead people in the city, but also to atone for his sins. Fang Hatshui's move is not to say that he is doing the right thing for heaven, he is just doing what he should do.

Fang Hatshui wiped the blood on the blade in his hand on Yan Ke's body, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

……

Li Qianzhong's age is not young, and at this moment, the bead-like wrinkles on his face are deeper, and the knots formed by the two eyebrows are almost locked together.

The Khitan suffered a disaster, and the life of the people was difficult, and he was worried.

Zhao Wenhui refused to provide disaster relief for a long time, and he was still worried when he saw that he couldn't get through it.

Now that Yingzhou City has been captured, the problem of eating has been completely solved, and he is even more worried.

If you can't eat, at most, you will starve to death, but you can raise a banner to rebel and capture Yingzhou City, and also slaughter the city, so that the entire Khitan tribe may be destroyed.

Things have come to this point, and the Great Zhou court is bound to send a large army to conquer. With Qi's current strength, he is definitely not the opponent of Da Zhou, and defeat is a matter of time.

Since you can't fight, you should surrender early, Li Qianzhong didn't think about surrendering, but if he really surrendered, would it be okay?

Not necessarily.

In the first year of Gaozong Longshuo, the nine surnamed Tiele rebelled, and the Tang general Xue Rengui led his troops to the Tianshan Mountains to meet the attack, and defeated the nine surnamed Tiele, and more than 100,000 Tiele people immediately surrendered to the Tang army. At the beginning, the nine surnamed Tiele also wanted to talk to Datang about the conditions, and after surrendering, he thought it would be fine. In fact, they miscalculated, and Xue Rengui took the most cruel approach to the capricious Tiele Ministry, ordering 130,000 Tiele captives to be killed on the spot.

Although the Khitan claims to have an army of 100,000, it is actually only 50,000 troops, and all the troops are only 200,000. If he really follows in the footsteps of the Tiele Department, then he Li Quanzhong will become a Khitan sinner through the ages.

It can't be beaten, and it can't be surrendered, Li Quanzhong is in a dilemma.

Seeing his father like this, Li lost his heart for a while

Sour.

Li Kaigu also knew Li Qianzhong's thoughts, and he persuaded on the side: "Khan, at this point, it's useless to worry so much, let's think about how to deal with the Great Zhou army!" ”

Li Fuhuo also cautiously persuaded: "Father, what the fourth uncle said is right! If this is really weird, Sun Wanrong will have to blame, but the top priority now is to find a way to get through the current difficulties! ”

Li Qianzhong didn't want to tide over the difficulties in front of him, but it was easier said than done.

Thinking of this, Li Qianzhong became more and more irritable.

"Damn Sun Wanrong!" Li Qianzhong couldn't help but curse for being unscrupulous, and then got up and walked out the door.

"Khan, where are you going?" Li Kaigu followed and asked.

"It's so stuffy in this house, I'll go for a walk!" Li Qianzhong didn't answer.

"Father, I'll go with your fourth uncle!" Li Shouhuo also got up and followed behind Li Qianzhong with Li Kaigu.

When the three of them came to the courtyard, Li Qianzhong walked forward, and suddenly a black shadow flashed out of nowhere.

Li Quanzhong knew that something was wrong, and although he noticed it a little late, he still subconsciously hurriedly dodged back.

That man and Li Quanzhong were separated by a touch.

Li Qianzhong only felt a sharp pain coming, and he sat on the ground while holding his abdomen, blood gushing out.

"There are assassins!" Li Kaigu shouted, drew his knife and slashed at the other party.

The shouts alarmed Li Quanzhong's own soldiers, and they rushed out and surrounded the Assassins.

Under such strict defense, the khan was assassinated, and if the khan had three long and two short, they were all capital crimes. Enraged, their soldiers relentlessly attacked the Assassins.

Li was panicked, and he didn't care about the fight in the field, so he hurriedly squatted down to support Li Qianzhong.

Looking at the blood stained on his hands, Li Shihuo asked eagerly, "Father, how are you?" ”

"I ...... I...... It's okay! A sharp pain accompanied by a feeling of dizziness made Li Qianzhong almost unable to control himself.

Despite this, Li Quanzhong still tried to look at the man who had assassinated him.

"How is he?"

Li Qianzhong finally saw clearly, the assassin turned out to be Fang Hatshui.

Li Quanzhong is the governor of Songmo Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of the Yingzhou Governor's Office. Fang Hatshui is the chief catcher of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion and belongs to the adjutant of the Governor's Mansion. Although Li Quanzhong's rank is much higher than that of Fang Qishui, the two of them can be regarded as colleagues.

In the past, when he was in the Governor's Mansion, Li Quanzhong often dealt with Fang Hatshui, and he knew Fang Hatshui's conduct very well, and he had a good impression of this iron-faced and selfless chief catcher.

After the capture of Yingzhou City, the officials of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion were all imprisoned, but Fang Hatshui and Yan Ke were exceptions, and they could enter and leave the Governor's Mansion freely. Yan Ke was not locked up because of Lust Valley, and Fang Hatshui was because of Mr. Wang's sponsorship.

Li Quanzhong couldn't understand why Fang Hatshui would come to stab him.

Fang Hatshui's martial arts are good, but Li Kaigu, as the first fierce general of the Khitan, is naturally not bad, and the level of the two is comparable. Fang hated the water with a short blade, but Li Kaigu used a scimitar, and Li Kaigu took advantage of it slightly.

If there is only Li Kaigu, Fang Hatshui can still persevere. But Li Qianzhong's dozens of personal soldiers stormed and attacked Fang Hatshui desperately, which made him unbearable.

After a while, Fang Hatshui was hit by several knives in his body, and he had reached the end of the strong crossbow.
