Cao Yu and Hu Yan Shouxin walked on the streets of Juma City, never dreaming that someone would assassinate them, this is not that they are too careless, but as the main general, since they dare to enter the city, there are naturally heavy guards around, not to mention anything else, the whole street is full of their people, not to mention an assassin, even if it is an army of thousands of people, they are not worried at all.

Of course, this guy didn't get close to Cao Mata and Huyan Shouxin, and was kicked down by the guards, and then several people tied each other up, and then someone rushed into the courtyard to prevent other assassins from hiding inside.

However, the men who soon stormed the courtyard brought out only a few frightened women, and the Assassin was an old man with gray hair, wearing a shirt, who looked like a scholar rather than an Assassin.

"Bring him here!" Cao Mata couldn't help but show a curious look when he saw the assassin's appearance, and immediately commanded the guards.

"Song thief, the old man can't wait to eat the flesh of Er, the skin of the bed......"

The head of the sect was very dishonest, even if he was caught, he still scolded Cao Mata non-stop, and in the end, the guards went up and slapped him in the mouth, which made him honest, but the eyes of Cao Mata and others were still full of hatred, as if Cao Mata and others were his enemies.

"Are you Han?" Cao Yu looked at the other party at this time and then asked, although the Khitan people have different hairstyles from the Han people, and this old man is wearing a shirt, he should be a scholar, as for the courtyard behind him, it should be his home, and several women are his family, but he can't understand why a Han person wants to assassinate himself?

"Phew! What's wrong with the Han people, the Han people are also Liao people, you southerners actually want to take away my great Liao rivers and mountains, and when he comes to kill my army, you will have to wait for the dog's head to land......"

Although the old man was slapped twice, when he saw Cao Mata, the "culprit" of the broken city, he scolded angrily again, but before he finished scolding, Hu Yan Shouxin next to him strode forward, and then cut off his head, as the old man's head fell to the ground, the blood also spurted up close to the feet, and the old man's head rolled a few times and fell to Cao Mata's feet, but his eyes were still staring at him, and his mouth was also closed one by one, it seemed that even if he died, he wanted to bite Cao Mata a few bites.

"These are the scholars of the Liao State, they are not only willing to be the lackeys of the Khitans, but also believe that the Liao State is orthodox, our Great Song Dynasty is just a bunch of traitors, there is nothing to say about this kind of people!" Hu Yan Shouxin kicked the head away at this time, and then said to Cao Mata.

Cao Yu had also heard Hu Yan Shouxin say that the scholars of the Liao State had been a little suspicious, after all, everyone was Han Chinese, and the Khitans were so brutal, the Han people had always been oppressed by the Khitans in the Liao State, even the Han officials were discriminated against in the court of the Liao State, and even the famous Han Derang, when he wanted to marry the Empress Dowager Xiao, he had to convert himself to the Khitans.

It is precisely knowing the above that Cao Yu felt that the Han people of Liao should have their hearts set on the Great Song Dynasty, but now when he saw it with his own eyes, he found that Hu Yan Shouxin was true, the Han people in front of him were still scholars, but he hated the Great Song Dynasty, and even risked the risk of killing his whole family to assassinate himself, which was unimaginable.

"With these people here, it seems that even if you defeat the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future, I'm afraid you will have to encounter some trouble." Cao Mata sighed at this time and said.

"There will definitely be trouble, but it is not difficult to solve, although this old man is stupid, but I have to say that he is a hard bone, but after all, there are a few hard bones like this, most of them are just some people who have seen the rudder, as long as these hard bones are cut off, the rest of the people will not be worried!" Hu Yan Shouxin sneered at this time.

After saying that, Hu Yan kept his faith and ordered people to hang the old man's head at the gate of the city, as for his family, it didn't move, mainly because of the old man's luck, the family members are a group of women, and it's useless to catch them, but if there are adult men, it won't be necessarily, after all, there are no human rights in this era, even potential threats must be eliminated.

Juma City has fallen into the hands of the Song army, but Cao Yu did not stay here, but after cleaning up the remnants of the city, he left some people to garrison, so he immediately led the army to leave Juma City, and more than ten miles south of Juma City is the Yongding River, which is also the meeting place of the Three Route Army selected by Liu Ping before.

In contrast, Cao Mata's Eastern Route Army had the shortest itinerary, after all, the Eastern Route Army was mainly infantry, and the marching speed was not fast, while the Western Route Army led by Guo Zun set out from Hejian Mansion and swept several cities on the west side, cutting off the road between Xijing Datong Mansion and Xijin Mansion to prevent Datong Mansion from sending troops to help.

As for Liu Ping, he personally led the main force of the army, and went straight to Xijin Mansion, he chose a route without any obstacles, so he went the fastest, and when Cao Ping's army arrived on the south bank of the Yongding River, Liu Ping's army had already come here.

In fact, when Cao Mata attacked Juma City, the generals in the city had already sent people to report to the rear, so the city of Xijin Mansion had long been ready to meet the enemy, and there was a Liao army stationed on the north bank of the Yongding River, which seemed to want to prevent the Song army from crossing the river.

"The last general will give the order!" After Cao Yu joined the army of the middle route, he immediately came to the Shuai tent with Huyan Shouxin to see Liu Ping.

"Don't be polite, you fought well in Juma City, but it was just a training exercise, this time to attack Xijin Mansion, your musket army is also the main force this time, don't let General Ben down then!" Liu Ping said with a flat face at this time.

"The musketeers are also waiting for a chance to prove themselves, please rest assured!" Cao Ma immediately opened his mouth to reassure.

"Very good, you two came just in time, accompany me to the river to observe the enemy's situation!" Liu Ping nodded with satisfaction when he heard Cao Mata's words, and then ordered again, in fact, he had just arrived yesterday, and the Liao army on the opposite side had already demolished the pontoon bridge on the river, and even collected all the boats to the north bank, making it very difficult for them to cross the river.

Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin heard that Liu Ping asked him to accompany him to observe the enemy's situation, and they were immediately happy, because this meant that Liu Ping regarded them as confidants, after all, they would break away from the army when observing the enemy's situation, and for the safety of the main general, the people they brought must be people who the main general could trust.

At that moment, Cao Yu and the two accompanied Liu Ping out of the camp, followed by a cavalry to protect them, and then the group came to the south bank of the Yongding River, holding binoculars and looking at the Liao army camp on the other side of the river.
