Di Qing led the Tiger Army out of Baozhou and went all the way to Zhuozhou.

Arrived at the border of Zhuozhou, and at the border of Zhuozhou, he ran into a Liao soldier raging in the people's fields.

When the scout told Di Qing about this, Di Qing's face was gloomy and terrifying.

As a person born in the borderlands, Di Qing knew very well how the Liao soldiers oppressed the people in the spring and autumn.

When spring comes, they take pleasure in riding on the crops in the Northland.

When autumn comes, they will go south in groups to burn and loot.

The people in the border areas hated the Liao soldiers to the core, but they were helpless.

The reason why the Liao soldiers dared to oppress the people in the border areas so unscrupulously was because the laws of the Liao State to protect the people did not include the people in the border areas.

The reason why the people in the border areas suffered was also the fault of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi conquered the Liao State three times, and the people in the north turned against each other, helping the heavenly soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao people.

However, the people of the Northland tried everything they had, but they could not return Yanyun to the Song Dynasty.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty suffered a defeat and left Yanyun, but the people of the northern land could not leave with them.

If they stayed in the north, they became the target of bullying and oppression by the Liao people, and they also became the object of revenge by the Liao people.

Some of them were humiliated and defected to the Liao and migrated to other places.

Some of them endured humiliation and remained on the border of the Northlands.

It is known why they endured humiliation and remained in the Northland.

"General, give the order, let the brothers slaughter those dog things."

The general of the Tiger Army heard the scout's return, and his eyes were slightly reddened and took the initiative to ask.

Di Qing sat on the back of the horse and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

The scout replied: "100 people ......"

Di Qing frowned, clenched his fists, and said to the Tiger Character Army general: "I hate them more than you, but we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. My Han family's sons suffered humiliation in the Northland, and that was because Yanyun had not recovered.

We are here to restore Yanyun.

Yan Yun is gone, we can save them for a while, but we can't save them for a lifetime. ”

The general of the Tiger Character Army held back a wave of anger in his chest and did not speak again.

Di Qing's face was gloomy, and he ordered in a low voice, "Go around and take another way." ”

The tiger army obeyed Di Qing's order, bypassed the place where the Liao soldiers were raging, and went straight to Tongtai Pass.

ran out for a hundred miles all the way non-stop, and bumped into several patrolling Liao soldiers during the process.

There were more than 100 people, and they chose to take the initiative to detour.

If the number is less than 100 people, they will rush up and cut down the Liao soldiers under their horses.

The group covered their whereabouts all the way, quietly touched into Zhuozhou, and approached Tongtai Pass.

When they were thirty miles away from Tongtai Pass, Di Qing and his entourage decisively stopped their horses.

Tongtaiguan is the military fortress of Liao, inside and outside the fortress, there are a lot of soldiers and horses stationed.

According to the custom of the Liao, they would send heavy troops to patrol outside the fortress, and the tentacles of the scouts could extend to about thirty miles.

Di Qing and his party were attacking in a sneak attack, not a hard-fought frontal battle, so they had to stop thirty miles away to avoid being discovered by the scouts of the Liao soldiers.

Di Qing and his entourage found a mountain nest and got in.

Di Qing and several generals of the Tiger Army sat on a boulder in the mountain nest and discussed the plan for the next sneak attack.

A leader of the Tiger Character Army said in a deep voice: "Our armor and ordnance are too heavy, once we enter the thirty-mile range of Tongtai Pass, the scouts of the Liao Kingdom will definitely find us."

When we rush to Tongtai Pass, the Liao soldiers will definitely wait for us at Tongtai Pass.

If we want to take Tongtai Pass, we will definitely pay the lives of many soldiers. ”

Another tiger soldier frowned and shouted: "How can there be immortals in a war, as long as we can take Tongtai Pass, it is worth it to die." ”

The head of the Tiger Army, who was the first to speak, shouted: "Nonsense, we are a sneak attack, not a frontal attack, we have broken through to the territory of Zhuozhou and no one has found it, we have a certain advantage."

Since we have advantages, we should find ways to maximize them.

If we want to fight head-on with the defenders in Tongtai Pass, then why should we break through to Zhuozhou? ”

The two quarreled as they spoke.

Di Qing shouted in a deep voice: "No need to argue. Since we have broken into the territory of Zhuozhou and have not been discovered, we should find a way to attack it unprepared. Heavy armor and armaments will indeed slow down our march.

So I decided, leaving four thousand men with armor and armaments to slow down behind.

Six thousand men remained, and with me, dressed in light armor, one man and two horses, they raided over.

As long as we are fast enough, those Liao scouts who have discovered us will not be able to spread the news that we have entered Zhuozhou to Tongtai Pass.

Tongtai Pass has no defense, and our chances of winning Tongtai Pass will be much greater. ”

After listening to Di Qing's words, the generals of the Tiger Army fell into silence.

Peng Yue frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be too risky?" From the formation of our tiger army to the present, every time there is a war, it has won by taking advantage of the armor. Now that we are out of armor, how much combat effectiveness can our men exert? ”

When the generals of the Tiger Army heard this, they nodded one after another.

From the formation of the Tiger Army to the present, there have been dozens of large and small battles, and there has been no defeat.

On the one hand, it is related to the rigorous training of the Tiger Army, and on the other hand, it relies on the advantages of armament.

The armament of the Tiger Army can be said to be the best armament in the world.

All the armaments in the army, all forged from steel, are not only tough, but also sharp.

When they go to the battlefield, the enemy cuts them more than a dozen times, and they may not be able to cut them.

But when they slash their enemies, they can inflict heavy damage on them.

The soldiers of the Tiger Army have become accustomed to being shrouded in steel and charging forward bravely.

The soldiers knew in their hearts that as long as they were shrouded in tough steel, it would be difficult for the enemy to hurt them, but they could rely on their sharp long knives to reap the lives of the enemy at will.

Without the heavy armor, the soldiers may be afraid.

When the soldiers are charging, they may subconsciously ignore the swords and guns that come at them, and the arrows that come from them.

There is a possibility that the Tiger Army will suffer a heavy blow as a result.

When the Tiger Army was fighting, there were very few casualties.

Once there are large-scale casualties, no one can guarantee whether the morale of the soldiers can be stabilized.

Di Qing heard Peng Yue's words, and said without hesitation: "I will take the lead and rush to the front." ”

When Peng Yue heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Di Qing took the lead, which naturally inspired the morale of the soldiers.

Di Qing's eyes lingered on the generals of the Tiger Army, and continued: "Since you have no objections, then ask me to do what I say." After nightfall, the light car is simple, kill to Tongtai Pass, and be sure to take Tongtai Pass tonight. ”

"......"

"Tonight you will be tired all night, and you will be ordered to go down and let the soldiers rest as soon as possible."

"......"

Di Qing made up his mind, and the generals of the Tiger Army stopped arguing, and began to do things according to Di Qing's instructions one by one.

Di Qing was wrapped in a big body, leaning on the boulder and lying down, closing his eyes to recuperate.

Not long after lying down, Peng Yue rushed to Di Qing's side with great momentum.

Di Qing was awakened, opened his eyes, and looked at Peng Yue suspiciously, "What happened?" ”

Peng Yue frowned and said, "The scout is not far from here and bumps into a shepherd. ”

Di Qing was stunned and said, "The scout has been discovered?" ”

Peng Yue nodded.

Di Qing got up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a slightly ugly face: "Take me to see." ”

Di Qing and the others secretly invaded Zhuozhou, and before they took the initiative to expose them, anyone who saw them must be executed.

The scout did not put the shepherd to death, and Peng Yue specially ran over to find him, which means that the shepherd cannot be killed.

Di Qing, under the guidance of Peng Yue, came out of the small mountain nest and saw an old man, standing there cramped and restless, surrounded by four scouts.

Not far from them, there were seven or eight skinny sheep with visible bones, bowing their heads and grazing.

Di Qing paced beside the old man, and before he could speak, the old man took the lead with a little hesitation, "But...... But my Han family is a heavenly soldier......"

Di Qing was slightly stunned for a moment, and said to the old man: "Di Qing is not talented, it is Han'er." ”

The old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's my Han family's heavenly soldier." ”

Seeing this, Di Qing frowned and said, "What is the old man doing here?" ”

The old man hurriedly said: "...... herding sheep"

Di Qing glanced at the skinny sheep, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Herding sheep?" ”

Seeing that Di Qing's expression was wrong, the old man roughly guessed Di Qing's thoughts, and he smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Little Lao'er is not a lazy man, the reason why the sheep that Xiao Lao'er herded are thin and shapeless is also to prevent being robbed by the Liao."

Therefore, when the little old man herds the sheep every day, he neither lets the sheep go hungry nor feeds them.

General Di didn't know that in Liaodi, all the fat sheep would be robbed by the Liao people and slaughtered for meat.

If you want to keep your sheep, you have to starve them and not feed them.

The Liao people don't like to gnaw bones. ”

Di Qing knew the situation in the border area and knew that the old man might be the truth.

He ruled out the old man as a spy.

But the old man found their traces, if the old man was released, the old man spread their traces, and it was easy for the Liao people to know.

Di Qing couldn't be ruthless, and got rid of the old man quickly.

The old man is old and refined, and through Di Qing's expression, he probably guessed Di Qing's thoughts.

Di Qing's name, the old man has heard of it, and I heard that it is a young general in the south.

A young general, naturally, it is impossible for him to appear alone in Liaodi.

must have led some soldiers and horses.

The young general led the soldiers and horses, appeared in Liaodi, and was not discovered yet, so he must have to do something big.

Their whereabouts can't be revealed until the big thing is done.

The old man didn't wait for Di Qing to make a decision in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak, "General Di entered Liao this time, what happened?" ”

Di Qing hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "Break the copper platform......"

The old man is now under his control, whether to kill or release, it all depends on his heart, and he is not afraid that the old man will reveal his purpose.

When the old man heard this, he was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, and said with a slight tremble: "The Han family's heavenly soldiers are going to attack Liao?" ”

Di Qing nodded solemnly.

"Haha...... Hahaha...... Xiao Kou Gong is really a believer...... He didn't lie to us...... He said that the heavenly soldiers of my Han family would one day attack Liaodi, and sure enough, ......"

The old man grinned.

Di Qing hesitated: "Do you know Yongguo Gong? ”

The old man said with some embarrassment: "When Xiao Kou Gong went to Liao State, Xiao Lao'er once took people to ridicule them. It's just that he didn't ridicule Xiao Kougong, but received the favor of Xiao Kougong.

The mother-in-law of Xiao Lao'er's family has been sleeping on the kang for many years, thanks to the little Kou Gong who gave her the Kou bus, Xiao Lao'er was able to push her out to see the great rivers and mountains of my Han family before she died. ”

Kou Ji taught Kou the bus in Liao, but Di Qing knew.

It's just that Di Qing is not in the mood to talk to the old man Xu now, he said with a little hesitation: "Old man......"

Without waiting for Di Qing to finish speaking, the old man took the initiative to speak: "General Di doesn't need to say much, General Di is going to do big things with people, and he can't be discovered." Xiao Lao'er doesn't have long eyes, and it's Xiao Lao'er's fault that he bumped into you.

General Di just has to give Xiao Lao'er a happy one, and Xiao Lao'er will never have any complaints in his heart.

I only ask the general to send someone back to erect a tablet for Xiao Lao'er after recovering Yanyun, and it is written on it, the tomb of the Han family's son. ”

Di Qing's voice was a little heavy and said, "Uncle, Di Qing has no intention of killing. ”

When the old man heard this, he straightened his face and scolded: "Confused! How can a man who does great things be kind to a woman? Is it important to break the copper platform, Fu Yanyun is important, or is it important for Xiao Lao'er's life that has been buried in the loess?

My Han family has been enslaved for decades, and I don't know how many have died.

Now that there is a chance to save them from the sea of suffering, how can it be delayed because of the life of the little old man.

Die a little old man, in exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of Han family children, the value of the little old man's life.

How can you not calculate such a good deal?

You're still a general.

The head melon seed is not as smart as the little old man. ”

Di Qing's voice became even heavier, and he said, "Di Qing has already believed that the old man is a person whose heart is towards my Han family. It will definitely not hurt the life of the old man. ”

When the old man heard this, he was annoyed, "Nonsense, what if the little old man is a spy of the Liao people?" What if the little old man deliberately said so many good things to deceive you? You became a general at a young age, and you must have relied on nepotism.

Otherwise, it is impossible to let go of the little old man easily.

If some veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years see that Xiao Lao'er has broken their plan, they will definitely cut off Xiao Lao'er's head without hesitation. ”

Di Qing was not angered by the old man's provocation, but frowned and said, "Why is the old man bent on seeking death? ”

Seeing that Di Qing saw through his thoughts, the old man could only sigh and said earnestly: "Doll, the little old man is not dead, your heart is not at ease, how can you go to Tongtaiguan to fight with the Liao people wholeheartedly?" ”
