Chapter 309: Each Shows His Magical Powers

western regions

The north of the Liusha Prefecture of Wusun Country

This small Gobi oasis city located less than 100 miles in Liaojing has always been the only way for the Han family and Khitan people to embark on the distant Silk Road to the Western Regions.

In the cold, summer, winter and summer, whether the Central Plains people who were proficient in business went west, or the blond and blue-eyed Persians looked east, the bustling camel caravans and endless business travelers never stopped even a moment of hustle and bustle.

It is precisely because of this that this town, which originally did not even have a decent loose earth city wall, has little by little the appearance of today's city fortress.

The Gothic-style dome hall and the courtyard houses of the Beijing school can actually find each other's figures here.

According to the territory, this belongs to the border quicksand state of Wusun Kingdom, because there is a quicksand mountain full of yellow sand not far away.

The ruthless ravages of the perennial wind and sand are also the second reason why the nobles and tax collectors of the Wusun Kingdom are reluctant to set foot here, in addition to the long distance, after all, no one wants to come here to eat sand when they are comfortable in the royal court.

But

Today, this small city has ushered in the biggest noble man since he built it.

Early in the morning, the Central Plains merchants in the inn had already heard the rare noise of soldiers and horses outside, and one by one they were dressed in the new velvet nightgowns that had been exchanged for tea from the Persians and were said to be quite popular among the royal family there, and they were about to push the door out with a lively head.

"Get in! Don't look at it! ”

The soldier with a blue and gold turban, a short white robe, and a meniscus knife on his shoulder, roughly stuffed the probes back into the wooden door.

However, the merchants who often walk in the Western Regions know that this dressed soldier is the "Bogda Warrior" in the mouth of the men of the Wusun Kingdom, which means the god of war who guards the land of the Western Regions.

And these "gods of war" are all from the five grain guards in the five grain hall of today's Ning Guoshi.

The curiosity of the merchants was not weakened by the expulsion of the guards, and almost every door hidden behind the soldiers of the High David team had three or five heads in the cracks, wanting to see if the Wusun national teacher, who was rumored to be the daughter of the God of Light, was really more dazzling than the moon in the starry sky as people said.

merely

The mysterious Ning Guoshi disappointed them, although the Wugu Guards were scattered far away throughout the city, but her huge gilded sedan chair landed on the gray stone road covered with yellow sand when she just entered the town, and the "Bogda Warriors" of the Wugu Guards surrounded it three times inside and out.

Even the two noble Khitans who had been waiting on the side of the road under the guidance of the tax collector of Liusha Prefecture earlier were only led into the gilded sedan chair after being searched left and right by Wuguwei three times.

"In the lower Tuoba Yin, on behalf of His Royal Highness Yelu, I would like to greet the great teacher."

Tuoba Yin followed the etiquette of the Western Regions and bowed deeply to the national teacher sitting on the chair of Jin Fengluan.

Ning Er, who is already the great teacher of Wusun, is no longer the white-clothed pavilion that he saw comfortably in the Fox Ridge Fortress at that time.

Dressed in a dazzling gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered patterned dress, wearing a pair of purple gold Zhai phoenix bead crowns on his head, plus a red gold enamel hairpin inserted in his hair bun, he dressed up and rested in Daxia to cure her for the crime of trespassing.

Not to mention the red coral earrings that are a little more luxurious than the huge sedan chair in this house in Tuoba Yin's eyes.

"General Tuoba doesn't need to be polite."

Ning Er's voice was as crisp as before, as beautiful as the wind bell.

She raised her hand slightly towards the two poplar Taishi chairs next to the lower head, motioned for Tuoba Yin and the two to sit down, and then said in a slow voice: "The deity came to General Tuoba this time, mainly to talk to you about the matter that your Highness Yelu talked to me about last time. ”

Tuoba Yin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the great master willing to agree to our Highness?" ”

Originally, I suddenly received a letter from the great teacher of Wusun Country last night, and I still muttered in my heart that I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't expect that Ning Guoshi, who had always had an ambiguous attitude before, actually took the initiative to mention this matter today.

"General Tuoba shouldn't be too anxious, how can we say that we are also ministers of the two countries, and we must each be our own masters, right? His Royal Highness Yelu wants my Wusun to help, so he has to come up with a little bit of bargaining chips that make me feel excited, and at least let me have an explanation with the king, right? ”

Of course, not to mention the king, Ning'er has always been a person who can't afford to be early, she was, is now, and will be even more in the future, so if you want her to help with things, you have to have the "benefit" to let her "get up early".

Tuoba Yin smiled and complimented: "Don't mention the great master, I forgot that there is an old king in Wusun Kingdom." ”

Although the words are a little clumsy, but when they hear Ning'er's ears, they are still quite useful.

"I thought that only the Han people were good at slapping horses, but I didn't expect you Khitan men galloping on the grassland to learn this."

Then she smiled gracefully at Tuoba Yin, "Let's be straight, I know that your Highness is ready to regain the crown that belongs to him, but once something happens, Empress Xiao, who is fighting in Great Xia, will immediately transfer troops back to the division, I'm afraid that none of you will be her opponent at that time." ”

As she spoke, Ning Er stretched out her slender hand in Fenghua's suit, and the five green jade fingers shook in front of Tuoba Yin.

"Five days, I'll help you block Xiao Hou in Crescent Mountain for five days!"

"Is that true?"

Obviously, Ning'er's words were more tempting than when he talked to Yelu Xiuke before, which made Tuoba Yin stand up from the Taishi chair with some excitement.

"What? In the eyes of General Tuoba, is the deity so not enough to be believed? ”

Throwing bricks to attract jade, throwing bricks, just to attract jade,

Although Tuoba Yin is not from the Central Plains, he understands the meaning of these four words, since the "bricks" of this Ning Guoshi are unstoppable, then the "jade" she wants to bring back will probably not be so simple.

"So, what are the conditions for a great master?"

Tuoba Yin let his heart that was about to fly out of his throat with excitement just now gradually calm down, and asked Ning'er.

There was a wicked smile on the corner of Ning Er's mouth, and then the white palm in the air slowly changed a gesture, and then pointed in the direction of the southwest,

"Afterwards, I want the head of the Brahma, you are not allowed to interfere!"

Tuoba Yin pondered for a moment before he raised his head and nodded heavily towards Ning Er,

"Good!"

"Don't you know that General Tuoba has been the lord of your Highness?"

Ning Er took the jade hand back, bent it into a jade arm to support her head, leaned on the golden phoenix armrest, and looked at Tuoba Yin.

"Don't worry, the great master!"

It seems that the conditions proposed by Ning Er did not make Tuoba Yin hesitate to report to Yelu Xiuke, he swore to Ning Er: "If this happens, then Wusun Kingdom will always be my friend of the Great Liao in the Western Regions, and the enemy of the great power division is the enemy of our Highness, and that is the enemy of my entire Great Liao." ”

Ning Er smiled slightly, and nodded a little with satisfaction, "That's fine, when the time comes, I will also keep my promise and let your Highness rest assured." ”

"Thank you for your help!"

Tuoba Yin was very excited and bowed deeply towards Ning'er even more than when he came,

"I'll hurry back, tell His Highness the good news, and prepare for trouble!"

------------------------------

It's night

Wang Jing

For the Liao army under the large army approaching the city, although He Zhiran, the commander of the northern army who was newly appointed by King Yong to lead Wang Jing's defense, was a civil official, it was even difficult to imagine that such a court official full of Confucianism was wearing armor.

However, after several successful night raids according to the method he told King Yong, no one in the Manchu Dynasty had any doubts about the way of using troops of this former scholar who had been a secretary of the Ministry for more than 20 years.

And from the perspective of Xiao Yan'er and Han Guangde, it was also a little unexpected to find that Xia Jun, who was actually trapped in Wang Jing, could still have such tenacity and will to devote himself to counterattacking.

But

If Gao Cixiang and He Zhiran really thought that they could completely drag down the Liao Dynasty army just by relying on a few small night attacks, it can only be said that the two of them thought too simply.

Because soon, Xiao Yan'er made He Zhiran realize where the real gap between him, a Confucian general who was regarded as a handsome and talented Confucian by King Yong, and the unparalleled strategists and commanders in the world.

In fact, for the seventy or eighty thousand troops of the Liao Dynasty, He Zhiran's dispatch of only thousands of men and horses this time, although the multi-frequency night raid did cause a lot of trouble to the Liao Dynasty at the beginning, but after the veteran generalissimo Han Guangde immediately ordered the addition of secret posts and patrol cavalry, the effect of the night attack was not as obvious as before.

But Gao Cixiang's attainments in military formations are really not worthy of his natural political acumen.

He mistakenly thought that Xiao Yan'er's two or three offensive and defensive adjustments were because He Zhiran's night attacks had obvious effects, so he ordered He Zhiran to increase the frequency of night attacks three times.

Xiao Yan'er is a good settler, she will never be entangled with your three or five thousand cavalry who come and go like the wind in the night every time, the matter of cannons hitting mosquitoes will never come from Xiao Yan'er's hands, if she wants to fight, then she has to save up these buzzing "mosquitoes" and slap them to death!

A smart woman like Xiao Yan'er will make people feel that she is sometimes like a creator, controlling the trajectory of things in the world will always develop as she expected before.

This time, again, is no exception.

Xiao Yan'er knew very well in her heart, even if he He Zhiran could bear it, knowing that he would accept it when he saw it, the uncrowned emperor sitting on the dragon chair would definitely not be able to bear it.

Sure enough, King Yong quickly made a big move,

At midnight in the early April of the 41st year of Chongzheng, five of the nine gates of Wang Jing suddenly opened, and under the cover of night, the commander of the northern army made He Zhiran shuai more than 60,000 Xia troops ride out of the five gates, and follow the pre-determined interspersed route from five directions, intending to perform a major operation on the Liao army camp outside the city.

The routes of the five strange soldiers are different, but the goal is the same, that is, the big tent of the Chinese army under heavy protection.

This time the Xia army was different from the past, Gao Cixiang pulled the general from Wang Jing's soldiers and horses, and carefully selected five young generals to hand over to He Zhiran, and commanded the five strange soldiers respectively.

is also very clear to tell Xiao Yan'er that this time I am not here to make trouble for you, but to kill you!

But

Xiao Yan'er, who had already preset an ambush in the camp in advance, had already completed this big pocket of the whale swallowing the Xia army after dusk, and she also planned to use King Yong's somewhat desperate night attack this time to completely destroy the confidence of the Xia army in Wang Jingzhong, it was best to keep this annoying He Zhiran like a fly, and then carried his head, shook his slender jade fingers with a sly smile at King Yong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and stood on Wang Jing's towering city wall and told him:

Compared to me, you kid is far behind!

The ending was not unexpected for Xiao Yan'er,

When the Xia army attacked the army at night and interspersed it in the Liao camp, it almost encountered any obstacles, and it was only when the assault reached the Chinese army's tent that it found that the preset retreat was already embattled.

The tall and sturdy Khitan knights formed a huge encirclement in a way that made the 60,000 Xia troops extremely desperate, and then in just a few hours, a one-sided massacre was carried out.

After all, on the plains outside the capital of this king, no one is the opponent of the Liao army's iron cavalry!

It can be said that the 60,000 elites gathered among Wang Jing's 300,000 soldiers and horses had already been eaten by Xiao Yan'er before they saw the blood-colored morning light.

What is more unexpected is that for this defeat, Gao Cixiang was not very angry, and he did not even blame He Zhiran, who was the commander,

Maybe this Yongwang who has always been ruthless has also realized the current situation, if there is no more He Zhiran, maybe this Wang Jing will really be like the "chicken ribs" that those courtiers who advocate moving the capital have been chanting to themselves early in the morning.

However, Gao Cixiang stepped into this predicament step by step, he never thought that there was a problem with his decision-making, and the kind of vulnerability in the face of absolute strength made him feel a little physically and mentally exhausted for the first time.

Xiao Yan'er and her Liao army, like a life-seeking demon crawling out of hell, kept scraping the walls of Wangjing's big bluestone bricks with their sharp and bloody minions, and each scratch was accompanied by an extremely harsh sound, which would become a nightmare for King Yong who couldn't sleep at night.

"Bamboo Shangshu."

"The minister is here!"

"Follow...... Liao people go talk about it. ”
