Chapter 354: Offering Prisoners (10)

Wei Chun interrupted Wei Sheng and said that he wanted to add, and Song Zhenzong raised his arm and said, "Okay, Wei Chun, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

Wei Chun saw that the emperor was polite, cleared his throat and added:

The June days in Bianliang City are always so hot, and the earth is so hot that people can't breathe like steamers.

Early in the morning, the autumn cicadas lay on the trees and made a loud noise, and he told the people that another hot day had begun.

Heat, is the main topic of the day; The clever bird didn't know where to hide to cool off, and the water of the Wuzhang River in the city was also a heat wave.

In such a season, the Liao people do not seem to invade, and the good season for the invasion of Yidi is the season of cold and freezing; At this time, the heavens and the earth are moving, and the iron horses of the Liao people will sweep like locusts; The Central Plains, accustomed to settled life, was overwhelmed by civil defense.

However, Zheng Shuang came to a reverse thinking, he thought that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State was a wise man and might act against the season.

Wei Sheng, Wei Xiang, Wei Chun, Wei Feng 4 young men and Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, Xing'er 4 girls and a group of 8 people, were ordered by Zheng Shuang to go out of the city to investigate the movements of the Liao army.

Prior to this, there were already small groups of Liao troops operating outside Bianjing City; It also caused cold frost's anger and planned to go out of the city to defend against the enemy.

Wei Sheng and his entourage of 8 people rode around the outer city of Bianjing and did not find any trace of the Liao army, and they were hungry; I saw a restaurant in front of me, so I went into a tavern to take a break and eat.

Not long after Wei Sheng and the eight people sat still, they saw two tall men also walk in; A foul smell emanated from the two men.

Xing'er had a sharp nose and immediately said to Wei Sheng: "Brother Sheng, this is Yang Sao. taste, these two men have a smoky sheep on them. It's a Liao State spy! ”

Wei Sheng heard Xing'er say this, and said happily: "It's too early to come and it's too coincidental, we didn't find the movement of the Liao soldiers; Catching these two guys is also a clumsy way to make up for the shortcomings! ”

Wei seemed to pick up Wei Sheng's words: "Big brother, don't be in a hurry, take a look at the wind direction first!" ”

After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "When we came from Qijue Temple, Marshal Zheng said that Kou Xiangye's letter to General Xue mentioned that a small group of troops of the Liao army was making a commotion outside Bianliang City, and it was not possible to figure out that these two guys were detectives of small forces; If you crash into our hands, you won't be able to escape! ”

As soon as Wei seemed to say this, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng were all alert; pressed the wrist-untying knife pinned to his waist and prepared to fight.

Yu'er hinted that the four brothers should not be reckless, and said that the two sisters should come forward to test it.

The two sisters, Yu'er and Shui'er, spoke Khitan dialect, and Wei Sheng agreed to Yu'er's proposal; The two sisters stared at the two men and saw the opportunity to come forward to talk.

The two of them exude sheep's swagger. The men of the flavor each asked for a bowl of braised noodles and ate them deliciously, and the fish and water came up to them and spoke in Khitan.

Yu'er said that the two men must have come from Xijing Mansion, and Shui'er followed behind and said that the two sisters were Khitans who came to Bianliang to seek refuge with relatives and wanted to learn singing and dancing; But they lost their hopes that the two men would help them.

The two men listened to Yu'er and Shui'er speak Khitan and begged for help, and their hearts were very high-minded; But he still kept his guard and pulled the sisters into trouble.

Yu'er and Shui'er used their incorruptible tongues to talk very speculatively with the two men, and said that they could live together at night.

When meeting fellow villagers in a foreign country and the beauty of the cave house, the two men said that they were scouts of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom; Come here to explore the reality of the Song army, and explore the way for the Empress Dowager Chengtian to conquer Bianjing.

When the fish and the water heard it, they became more and more charming with them.

Yu'er Shui'er talked to the two men, and it was confirmed that these two guys were the spies of the Liao army, so he glanced at the four brothers who were like a spring breeze.

Wei Sheng, Wei Qi, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng understood and immediately rushed up to capture the two Khitan Tartars and ask about the situation; Fang knew that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State led an army of 200,000 to invade the south, and let Amo Strange Ability lead 30,000 troops to surround Suicheng and make an illusion to stabilize the Song army on the Hebei front; She led her army to avoid the Great Wall of Water and the underground passage from Baozhou to Jizhou, and went south along the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain.

Wei Sheng finally asked where the Empress Dowager Xiao's army was at the moment? The Liao scouts said that they might have reached Liyang and were going to cross the Yellow River from Baimajin to Bianjing.

Wei Shengjian said that he asked Wei Bi and Yu'er, Shui'er, Ying'er, and Xing'er to escort the two Liao spies back to the city to report to Zheng Shuang, and he, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng rushed to Huazhou Mansion non-stop.

Seeing that the military situation was urgent, Ma Yueming, the prefect of Huazhou, summoned a cadre of officials from the government to prepare to resist; Wei Sheng said with a smile: "Is it a drop in the bucket for the prefect to do this, or can he mobilize the people to stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Empress Dowager Xiao!" ”

Ma Yueming listened to Wei Sheng's reasonableness, and ordered the government officials to go down separately to call on the people; The people of Huazhou responded to the call. Even the people near Puyang and Liyang also mobilized.

Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, Wei Feng and Ma Zhifu rode their horses north, and saw retreating forbidden soldiers along the way; After catching a few questions, he knew that the Liao army had arrived in Liyang, and the forbidden army could not resist and had to retreat.

Wei Sheng forced him to ask with a knife what checkpoint there was ahead to stop the Liao army, and an escaped forbidden army said that the Huazhou and Liyang rivers could slow down the pace of the Liao army.

Ma Zhifu immediately thought of the Wei River, saying that the Wei River was a section of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal in Huaxian County; It is fifty or sixty meters wide, and the water depth at the shallowest point is also three or four meters; If the temporary bridge on the river is quickly removed, it can completely block the Liao army's iron cavalry from moving south.

The three brothers, Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, and Wei Feng, discussed with the prefect Ma Yueming and Bao Zhengyi from several villages along the canal, and everyone agreed to do so; As a result, there was not a single bridge left on the surface of the Wei River, which was 1200 miles long from east to west.

After the bridge was dismantled, the Liao army rushed over; But what awaits them is the insurmountable river of Wei......

Wei Chun's supplementary plot is long enough, but he shows in more detail that Zheng Shuang sent them out of the city detectives; From the mouth of the Liao army scouts, I learned the accurate news that Empress Dowager Xiao led an army of 200,000 to invade the south, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Emperor Zhenzong heard Wei Chun tell this story, and shouted a few "good" words to raise his voice and laughed: "The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are strong and strong, and the common people are also loyal and patriotic; That's remarkable! ”

Song Zhenzong said unfinished: "If Wei Qing doesn't make additions, how can I know so many small details!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong said and looked at Wei Sheng and said, "Wei Chun just added it very well, Wei Sheng, you continue to talk about the previous one!" ”

Wei Sheng replied: "Enlightening the saint, if you want to tell the subtle details, I am afraid that you will not be able to finish it for three days and three nights; The last general will pick up the key plot and talk about it! ”

Wei Sheng said and fixed the gods: "The two brothers of the last general and Ma Yueming, the prefect of Huazhou, organized the people of the Great Song Dynasty to form an iron wall on the south bank of the Wei River, and intercepted the 200,000 troops led by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State and Yelu Longxu of the Liao Shengzong on the north bank of the Wei River, and the Sini Iron Cavalry could not cross; Xiao Tart Rin didn't know where to get a craftsman to make a successful stone throwing car, and threw it with us; We can't resist and can only retreat! ”

Wei Chun answered, and when we retreated with tens of thousands of people, Xiao Tzu Rin's Sini iron cavalry caught up, and the Sini iron cavalry shot arrows at the people; Dozens of people were hit by arrows, and the boy and Brother Sheng were angry from the side of the gall; The horses rushed forward to attack the position of the Sinic cavalry, but the Sinaean cavalry was very strong; At the end, Xiao Tzu Rin was knocked off his horse and captured alive, and Brother Sheng rushed back to the capital to report to Marshal Zheng! ”

Liu E interjected: "Wei Chun became Xiao Tzu Rin's captive? How did you escape? ”

Wei Sheng bowed and said, "Let's talk about Wei Chun's prisoner step by step, let's talk about the two of us fighting with Xiao Tzu Lin first!" ”

Wei Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he spoke: "There are only two of our brothers, but Xiao Tzu Rin is invulnerable to 300 heavily armored sabers, and it is difficult for arrows to enter; Wei Chun didn't fight Xiao Tart Rin for a few rounds before he was beaten off his horse and captured alive! The last general wanted to desperately rescue my brother, but when he thought of being outnumbered; I could only watch Wei Chun being tied up by Xiao Tzurin's men, and the last general would return to the capital with tears in his eyes to report the news! ”

Kou Zhun asked: "Wei Sheng didn't meet Zheng Shuang's loyal army in the right wing of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Met me!" Wei Sheng Zhenzhen said: "The last general beat his horse and came to the corner field camp in front of Liyangjin, and Marshal Zheng led the army to rush there, and he came up with a three-pronged tactic after listening to the military intelligence report!" ”

"Three-pronged tactics!" Song Zhenzong asked with interest: "What is the three-pronged tactic?" ”

Wei Sheng smiled and said: "The situation at that time was like this-Xiao Tzu Rin led 300 heavy armored cavalry to cross the Wei River and drove straight in, throwing the 200,000 troops of the Empress Dowager Xiao behind him more than ten miles away; Marshal Zheng asked the old ancestor Wei Yan, the three old generals of Xue Shisan, and Leng Bingshuang to lead more than 1,000 people of the Iron Falcon Army to insert between the gap between the two armies of Xiao Tart Rin and Empress Dowager Xiao to intercept Empress Dowager Xiao south; And let Xiao Tzu Rin's 300 Sini Iron Rider continue to move forward! ”

Stretching his neck and throat, he said: "After Ancestor Wei Yan led the Iron Eagle Army to the north, Marshal Zheng ordered Uncle Shadow to lead more than 1,000 people with the fire team, the stone throwing team, and the crossbowmen to guard on Liyangjin, preventing Xiao Tzulin's Sini Iron Cavalry from crossing the Yellow River; And that's all there is to come! ”

Liu E glanced at Wei Sheng and said, "Wei Sheng, don't sell Guanzi, it's better to tell the truth!" ”

Wei Sheng laughed a few times, scratched his hand on his forehead and said: "Next is the beauty plan set by Marshal Zheng, the plan to lure the wolf into the palace, the plan to attack the east and the west, and the plan to burn the company and camp......"

Liu E snorted coldly, stood up, took two steps closer to Wei Sheng, and said, "Isn't it just a matter of capturing a few Liao soldiers!" The beauty trick is also used, is Zheng Shuang's kid ......?"

Liu E wanted to say the words "Zheng Shuang, this kid didn't let Chun Yu Niangniang also go into battle", but she didn't say it; Just stared at Wei Sheng with straight eyes.

Wei Sheng read what she wanted to say from Liu Niangniang's eyes, and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Marshal Zheng asked Chun Yu Niangniang to lead more than 200 girls from the red-sleeved incense team to lure Xiao Tzulin's 300 heavily armored horses to the west and into the Taihang Mountains; He took the lead in setting up an ambush in the Cloud Valley of Taihang Mountain, planning to burn the company camp and annihilate Xiao Tart Rin and 300 Sini iron horses! ”

"Boy, I have to add a little more!" Wei Chun interjected again: "The kid was tied to a war horse after being captured by Xiao Tzu Rin, and Xiao Tzu Rin said that he would escort the villain to the Empress Dowager Xiao to ask for merit; The villains looked at each other angrily, but the ancestor Wei Yan led the Iron Falcon Army to attack the Sini Iron Cavalry from the north...... Hahahaha......"

WEI Chun. couldn't help laughing, laughed a few times, and saw the emperor staring at him in a daze; Hurriedly stopped Yang Yang's arm and said, "The ancestor attacked from the north, and the Shadow Master led the fire gun team to attack from the south; Xiao Tzu Rin couldn't resist it, so he had to drive the Sini Iron Horse west into Taihang Mountain! ”

Song Zhenzong seemed to understand Zheng Shuang's plan of "driving the dolphin into the sky" when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "It seems that Zheng Qing is really capable, and the strategy is used just right; It's holding Xiao Tart's bull's nose and walking! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Wei Sheng echoed and said: "Xiao Tzulin, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, can only enter the Taihang Mountain to the west under the attack of Marshal Zheng from the north and south; Halfway through, I met the red-sleeved Tianxiang girl team led by Chun Yu Wanyun Niangniang; These guys are mesmerized! ”

"Big brother, you forgot one more thing!" Wei Chun picked up and said: "Xiao Tzu Rin led the Sini Iron Cavalry to Taihang Mountain, and on the way to Taihang Mountain, he also did a jackal thing, killing Huang Wenyong, the governor of Xiangzhou, and 200 Xiang soldiers!" ”

"There is such a thing!" Kou Zhun couldn't wait to say: "Why did Huang Wenyong, the governor of Xiangzhou, bump into Xiao Tzulin's Sini Iron Horse?" ”

Wei Sheng said: "I'm afraid this is what people say, whoever Lord Yama wants to die will make him crazy for a while; In order to promote the official position, the prefect of Xiangzhou led 200 troops of the government to arrest thieves; But he was killed by Xiao Tzurin's Sinic Iron Horseman! ”

Wei Chun sighed and said: "The kid was rescued by the two generals Weiwu and Hou Fang when Xiao Tzu Lin's Sini Iron Cavalry killed Huang Wenyong's Xiang army and rushed to Yunwu Mountain to see Marshal Zheng Shuang!" ”

Wei Chun cleared his throat as he spoke: "The kid rushed to Yunwu Mountain to report to Marshal Zheng about Xiao Tzu Rin's situation, and Zheng Shuangshuai decided on the previous tactics of burning the company camp; In the killing of the enemy, 5,000 loyal soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were lurked in the jungle in three ways, and captured the Khitan Tartars alive, and 293 Tartars were captured by our army without landing on the ground......"
