Chapter Twenty-Nine: Outwit the Three Cities
However, it was said that Li Chengkun, the king of Nanyi, was furious when he heard that Li Linfeng had not done his errand, and scolded Li Linfeng fiercely. Sitting on the dragon chair sulking, he didn't expect that the woman he missed in his heart had such a strong personality, and he would rather die than marry him. I was depressed in my heart, thinking that I would be the respect of a country, and I would hire her with the city, but she was afraid of her like a tiger, and would rather die than die, what should I do!
Li Chengkun picked up the bronze mirror, and carefully refined his face, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were handsome, and his facial features were upright. Why wouldn't she be tempted? Do you just give up?
Li Chengkun was unwilling, since he saw Yangguan, he glanced at a thousand years, although she wore a mask, he was impressed by her bearing, after the war. I miss her all the time, I want to have her, for her, I ignored the ministers of the court to stop me, insisted on marrying, and bribed the courtiers of the Jin State with a lot of money, and strongly advocated to promote this matter, but unexpectedly, the bamboo basket fetched water, and it was empty.
Li Chengkun sat heavily on the dragon chair, his thoughts were flying for a while, he was distraught, and left the court. Returning to the imperial study, unfolding the portrait that Li Linfeng brought back from the Jin Kingdom, she couldn't help but gasp, no wonder she wears a mask every time she goes to the battlefield, it turns out that she is so stunning hidden under the mask, her eyebrows and eyes are all out of the world, a cherry mouth, more addictive, more honed on the battlefield, a glorious bearing, even more Li Chengkun loves the curtain deeply. The look looked at the female general in the painting for a long time and was reluctant to move away.
Mao Lingfeng and his entourage of five returned to Yongzhou all the way back to Yongzhou and met their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. The four of them had been worried for nearly a month, and when they saw her return safely, they finally let go of a hanging center of the earth.
Chen watched the woman go all the way, standing in front of him as if he was in a different world, holding his daughter tightly in his arms, and burst into tears.
Lin Shuyin was pregnant, snuggled in Mao Lingyun's arms with tears in her eyes, looking at everything that the woman in front of her who was younger than herself had endured, and felt pity in her heart.
Mao Lingfeng looked at the two of them like glue, full of affection, and a few traces of envy and a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Chen took in his daughter's eyes, his heart was like a knife, but he was helpless, he and Mao Xuqi glanced at each other, and both of them shook their heads helplessly.
Mao Lingfeng was in Panheng in Yongzhou for two days, rode back to the camp, and saw many soldiers gathered at the gate of the camp from a distance.
The female general was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward.
The generals shouted in unison, "Welcome the general back to the camp." ”
With tears in her eyes, the woman turned over and dismounted: "Thank you brothers for your love, I can't bear it." ”
Zheng Jie and Tian Yuan saluted with all the generals: "See the general." "Uniformly, straight to the night man.
Mao Lingfeng went to the big tent surrounded by all the soldiers, and the soldiers returned to the camp after reporting military affairs, Zheng Jie and Tian Yuan looked at the woman sitting in the big tent and burying their heads in military affairs, and stopped talking. Silently withdrew.
Zhishu and Zhihua had already prepared a meal, and when they saw the woman bowing her head to take care of military affairs, they hurriedly stepped forward to light a candle and called softly: "Miss, it's not time to eat early." ”
Mao Lingfeng answered, looked up and saw that it was getting late, stretched his waist, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks. After dinner, after Mao Lingfeng continued to deal with military affairs, he freshened up a little, lay on the bed, tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep in a hurry. Simply put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked out of the camp tent, looked at the cold moonlight all over the ground, had a thousand thoughts, looked at the north, sighed, took out the phoenix sword at his waist, and waved it slowly in the moonlight. A slender figure fluttered under the moon, moving left and right, like a fairy descending to earth, recognizing people and not daring to slack.
Three days later, Mao Lingfeng led an army of 300,000 troops from Yangguan and waved his army directly at Shi'an County.
Li Chengkun heard that Mao Lingfeng had sent troops from Yangguan, so he hurriedly summoned hundreds of officials of Qi Wenwu and ordered the imperial army to march in person, leaving Li Linfeng to handle government affairs in the court.
Mao Lingfeng watched the gate of Shi'an County closed, and ordered Chang Wu to lead 150,000 troops to surround the city of Shi'an County, and he took 150,000 soldiers and horses and the Feifeng Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion to the Immortal Valley, and ordered the soldiers to hide in the valleys on both sides, and after summoning and whispering to Zheng Jie, he ordered Tian Yuan to take the Flying Tiger Battalion and go directly to the right side of Tianmen Pass to hide on the Woniu Mountain, just waiting for Tianmen Pass to send troops to help Shi'an County, the city was empty, and the city was captured in one fell swoop. Ling Dark San and Zhiqin wore masks and played their own banners, leading the Feifeng Battalion to attack Linchen at night.
Tian Yuan and Dark San each led their troops away.
Mao Lingfeng stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, standing with his hands in his hands, his lips hooked lightly, Li Chengkun, since you are hired by the five cities, then I will take the three cities first. It's up to you how you act.
After receiving the news that Shi'an County was besieged, Li Garrison of Tianmen Pass hurriedly led an army of 50,000 and rushed to help.
Tian Yuan heard the scout's report on Woniu Mountain, and the gate of heaven was empty. I couldn't help but be shocked, and ordered the army to go down the mountain overnight, and in the early hours of the morning, quietly approached the city wall, and secretly took a small team to climb the city wall with lightning speed. opened the city gate, it only took two hours, and the Tianmen Pass had been controlled, and the prefect was still asleep, so he was tied up by the dark four who rushed in. Tian Yuan led the Flying Tiger Battalion. Stationed in the government office, and timely ordered to reassure the people. The people woke up one night and found that the Jin army had done nothing to the common people.
The next day, the common people went to the streets as usual.
Tian Yuan ordered someone to return quickly, and Mao Lingfeng smiled after reading it. The first step has been completed. The second step is also fast. In the afternoon, I saw a horse coming and handed over the military newspaper, Mao Lingfeng took the military newspaper and opened it, his brows raised slightly, since the second step has also been completed, then the third part can be carried out.
Li Chengyi, the garrison of Tianmen Pass, led an army of 50,000 and rushed to Shi'an County, and when he passed through the Immortal Valley, he suddenly saw a fierce flag in front of him, and a female general with a mask under the banner of Feifeng stood on the top of the mountain in white and stood against the wind.
couldn't help but be shocked and ordered to retreat. I saw a shout, and the stones on the mountain rolled down to block the retreat.
The masked female general sneered, pulled out five feathered arrows, put them on the string, pulled and loosened, swish... With a few sounds, five feather arrows shot down several generals around the county guard. A few of them didn't have time to dodge in the future, and they fell off their horses.
When Li Shoubei saw this scene, he was frightened and his heart was broken.
Mao Lingfeng stretched out his bow and arrows again, aimed at Li Shoubei and said, "Surrender or die, it's up to you." ”
Li Shoubei saw that the five feathered arrows were facing him in unison, and he still dared to resist, but he still dropped his spear, turned over and rolled off his horse, and knelt on the ground. A trembling voice said: "The last general is willing to surrender." ”
Mao Lingfeng smiled slightly: "Very good, as long as you obediently listen to me, I will protect you from death." ”
Li Chengyi knocked his head to the ground: "But according to the general's orders." ”
Mao Lingfeng instructed his subordinates to change the soil into Xiyi clothes. ordered Li Chengyi to be in front, and he pretended to be a partial general to follow behind him and march towards Pingle Mansion.
The 50,000 army hurriedly spent two days to rush to Pingle Mansion, and the county guard of Pingle Mansion heard that Li Chengyi led the troops to Pingle Mansion, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ran up to the city tower and asked: "Brother Chengyi is not in Tianmen Pass, he ran to Pingle Mansion to do something."
Li Chengyi hurriedly said at Mao Lingfeng's signal: Brother Zhao, Shi'an County has been lost. Tianmen Pass and Linchen County have also been lost, I can only come to Pingle to seek refuge with Brother Zhao, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom will soon come to Pingle Mansion.
Zhao Wenhua was taken aback: "What, Shi'an County has been lost, and the Gate of Linchen Tianmen has also been lost." How is this possible, Brother Li shouldn't be a liar!
Li Chengyi said helplessly: "The Jin army is cunning, taking advantage of the fact that I sent troops to support Shi'an County, when the Tianmen Pass was empty, it attacked Linchen County at night, and overnight, Linchen and Tianmen Pass were lost one after another. Now the Jin army has killed Benping Lefu and comes. And I have nowhere to go, I can only come to Brother Zhao, I wait for the two of us to join forces in one city, maybe I can resist for a while.
Zhao Wenhua thought about it, opened the city gate, and asked Li Chengyi to bring his relatives into the city, and the other armies were stationed outside the city.
Mao Lingfeng followed Li Chengyi and led a team of relatives to the gate of the city, and glanced at Sun Desheng. With Sun Desheng and Zhiqi, the two of them hurriedly slashed and killed several soldiers defending the city, and Zheng Jie, who was dressed as a general of Xiyi behind him, waved his hand, and all the soldiers rushed up and rushed up to the city tower.
Before Zhao Wenhua could come to his senses, a jet-black spear had already reached his throat, and the other sergeants stepped forward to tie him up.
Only then did Zhao Wenhua understand and scolded Li Chengyi. Li Chengyi bowed his head and was silent.
When the other soldiers saw that the Lord was about to be captured, they surrendered one after another.
Mao Lingfeng's soldiers were bloodless and easily captured the three cities. Ordered Sun Desheng to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Qinzhou. He led the army back to Tianmen Pass.
When Li Chengkun learned the news, he was stunned, shocked and angry, Tianmen Guanping, Lefu, Linchen County were all lost, and Shi'an County Youyan could be saved.
Mao Lingfeng feinted to attack Shi'an County, but in fact captured Pingle Tianmen Linchen. Si'an County is isolated and helpless, and even if it is sleepy, it traps Si'an County to death.
Li Chengkun was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and hurriedly rushed to Tianmen Pass with an army of 300,000.
Mao Lingfeng received the scout's report, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, now it is time to start implementing the fifth part, and stand in Huifeng Valley with the Feifeng Battalion and the Flying Tiger Battalion. Watching Li Chengkun's vanguard enter the Huifeng Valley, Mao Lingfeng gave an order, and the native soldiers who were ambushed in the Huifeng Valley lit the arrows tied with cotton one after another, and shot them at the Xiyi soldiers under the Huifeng Valley. In winter, the leaves are withered and the weather is dry, and now, the wind borrows the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, and in an instant, the raging fire burns rapidly, and half of the sky is red.
Li Chengkun rode on a horse through the firelight, looking at the vague figure standing on the top of the mountain, he really loved and hated, looking at the fire in the mountain, he had no choice but to order a retreat of fifty miles.
Mao Lingfeng stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Li Chengkun and the Xiyi soldiers with their faces disgraced, embarrassed, and left a lot of grain and grass to retreat fifty miles. I couldn't say how happy I was in my heart, and I snorted coldly, and if I angered this girl, I have to pay a price, since you are hired by Wucheng. Then I'll take the three cities first, anyway, Shi'an County is already sitting in a lonely city, if they don't surrender, they will wait to go out of the city to fight, or trap in the city.
instructed Zheng Jie to chase and kill all the way with an army of 100,000, and after chasing him out of Wuli directly, he collected his troops and returned to the camp to give orders to Mao Lingfeng.
Mao Lingfeng ordered the whole army to return to Tianmen Pass. This mountain fire will burn for at least ten days and eight days, and now the question is how to defeat Li Chengkun in one fell swoop, and the sooner Shi'an County takes it, the better. She pondered for a while and ordered someone to bring Li Chengyi up.
Li Chengyi was brought in, and Mao Lingfeng saw that his face was slightly haggard, but his spirit was fine.
When Li Chengyi saw Mao Lingfeng sitting in the lobby, he couldn't help but tremble, trembling and bowing forward. Mao Lingfeng glanced at him and said: "I heard that Li Chengyong is your second brother, I ordered you to go to Shi'an County to surrender Li Chengyong for me, as long as he is willing to surrender, I still allow him to guard Shi'an County." If not, wait to die in a lonely city. ”
Li Chengyi was ordered to retreat, and Mao Lingfeng ordered someone to send him to Changwu's camp, and repaired a letter to send to Changwu. Let Chang Wu besiege but not attack, just wait for him to surrender or go out of the city for a decisive battle.
Chang Wu received the letter and ordered Li Chengyi to be sent to the gate of the city. When Li Chengyong heard this, he ordered someone to put down the hanging basket and pull Li Chengyi up.
Li Chengyi was hung on the city tower, and Li Chengyong scolded angrily, "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death come here to be embarrassed." ”
Li Chengyi was scolded, and he was not to be outdone, "If I wasn't worried that Shi'an County would not be safe, how would I lead my troops to leave Tianmen Pass, and how could I be trapped in the Immortal Valley, if I don't surrender, under the hard work, 50,000 brothers, how many will survive." It's not a pity for me to die, but if I let 50,000 brothers die with me, how can I bear it. ”
Li Chengyong pulled the knife and put it on Li Chengyi's neck. Said angrily: I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I still make so many excuses, don't think about going back alive when you come here today.
Li Chengyi looked at the big knife on his neck and sneered, Second brother, you have always prided yourself on being loyal, but if you are so stubborn, who will think of you. Do you really want to bring 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people in Shi'an County to your funeral? The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom have always committed no offense against the people, and they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when the time comes, they are only afraid that others will say that you have abandoned the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for the sake of false fame. You are not afraid that after you die, you will go to the underworld of the Yin Dynasty, and those innocent souls will come to you for your life. ”
