Seven days later.

Zhao Guangyi's dragon drove to Youzhou.

Cao Bin, who had been informed by the eunuch in advance, had already prepared for the arrival of Zhao Guangyi.

However, Zhao Guangyi's dragon drove past him, and he didn't mean to pay attention to him at all.

Huge dragons, supported by a large number of guards, rampage into the barracks.

Cao Bin and the other soldiers who greeted Zhao Guangyi were left aside.

The scene looked awkward.

Cao Bin's old face was a little unbearable.

Zhao Pu's sedan chair squeaked and fell in front of Cao Bin, opened the sedan curtain, Zhao Pu said to Cao Bin without being salty: "Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the progress of your war, think about it yourself......"

Dropping this sentence, Zhao Pu lowered the sedan curtain and let people carry him into the barracks.

When did Cao Bin suffer such humiliation, his face turned blue and white, and it was very ugly.

He is no longer the Cao Bin of the past, and the Cao family is not the Cao family of the past.

Today's Cao family has departed from the time to ask Zhao Guangyi for wealth and nobility.

The Cao family, who secretly controls Dali, is a feudal clan that is not allowed to break the family, and its wealth has even far exceeded that of the fold family.

If Cao Bin hadn't wanted to put his eggs in two baskets, why would he suffer such humiliation.

Yang Qi and Zhao Defang rode horses late.

Zhao Defang had the intention to woo Cao Bin, so when he saw Cao Bin being humiliated, he immediately put on a compassionate look, "Privy Envoy Cao, you have been wronged......

Cao Bin glanced at Zhao Defang unexpectedly, and said lightly: "Thank you for the relief of the Eight Sages King, the old minister is His Majesty's courtier, and he is not doing things well, and His Majesty did not reprimand the old minister, which is already a grace." ”

Zhao Defang touched a soft nail in front of Cao Bin, and his face was a little unsightly.

Yang Qi patted Zhao Defang on the shoulder and comforted him.

After Zhao Defang, who looked gloomy, walked away, Yang Qi frowned at his old father-in-law and said: "Old Taishan, your old man is now a landlord with a big family, why should you be so wronged yourself?" ”

Facing Yang Qi, Cao Bin didn't have a good face, he glared at Yang Qi fiercely, and sneered: "The old man's meager family background is not enough for the tiger marquis to loot." The old man's little family background is comparable to the tiger marquis. ”

Cao Bin had a grudge against Yang Qi in his heart.

The source of resentment, Yang Qi is clear.

After Yang Qi helped the Cao family take Dali, he once talked to Cao Bin about some conditions.

Among them is the opening of the Nanguo Money Bank in Dali, as well as the use of a part of the Dali copper mine to research weapons.

The seemingly simple two can toss the Cao family miserably.

Let's talk about the Nanguo Money Bank first, how terrifying the ability of the Nanguo Money Bank is to absorb gold, just look at Yang Qi's establishment of the four provinces of Nanguo and Northwest in just a few years, and the two places have been under continuous construction, and the funds have never been broken, it is not difficult to see.

For example, the Shangjing branch of the Southern Kingdom Money Bank in Liao State was opened for only about a year and a half, and it absorbed money that could be used only for hundreds of thousands of expeditions.

Dali's southern money bank also has such a terrifying ability to attract money.

After the Cao family occupied Dali, when they discovered that Dali was rich in gold and copper ore, they tried their best to get a large number of laborers to open mines and smelt, and finally made gold and copper ingots.

And then......

Then the people of the Cao family saw a scene of madness.

The money store in the south is like a huge gold-swallowing beast, attracting those merchants, rich people, etc., and storing large quantities of gold in the money bank.

In the end, the people of the Cao family found that the speed at which they were digging gold mines could not keep up with the speed at which the money bank in the south could absorb gold.

Not only that, after seeing the convenience of saving money in the Nanguo Money Bank, some of the Cao family's side branches and people from their own family also deposited their money in the Nanguo Money Bank.

Seeing that the gold and silver that were finally excavated were sent to the Nanguo Money Bank and exchanged for pieces of paper, Cao Bin wanted to cry a little.

Although Cao Bin doesn't understand the operation of the money bank, he knows one thing clearly.

Once one day, the Dali branch of the Nanguo Money Bank suddenly disappeared, and the money stored in it disappeared with it.

If only the southern money bank was absorbing money, it would be fine.

Yang Qi set up an arms workshop in Dali, and the copper used was piled up in piles.

And only in and out.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Bin and Yang Qi had an alliance in front of them and tried their best to restrain the Cao family's forces in Dali, it is estimated that they would have rushed into the weapons workshop and bulldozed the weapons workshop.

If it weren't for the fact that some time ago, Yang Qi wisely withdrew the weapons workshop, it is estimated that Cao Bin himself would not be able to bear it.

In short, the Cao family seems to occupy the wealthy Dali, but they have helped Yang Qi make money for a long time.

This is the origin of Cao Bin's resentment towards Yang Qi.

Looking at Cao Bin's eyes that couldn't wait to eat him, Yang Qi grinned even more, "Old Taishan, isn't it just taking up a little bit of your money." Don't be so stingy, I'll help you come up with ideas again when I have a chance, and keep your Cao family to get more than now......"

When Cao Bin heard this, he was obviously stunned, glanced left and right, and saw that they were all his own people, so he asked in a low voice: "Tell the old man now......

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "There are many people with mixed eyes......

After being reminded by Yang Qi, Cao Bin also knew that he was a little big-hearted.

Although they are surrounded by their own people, no one can guarantee that there will be no traitors among their own people.

However, this also can't blame Cao Bin, because Cao Bin knows very well how tempting Yang Qi's idea is.

Resist the greed in your heart.

Cao Bin asked in a low voice: "The old man saw that you and Zhao Defang were getting together, were you plotting something?" ”

Yang Qi said lightly: "I didn't plan anything......

Cao Bin obviously didn't believe Yang Qi, he reminded Yang Qi in a low voice, "The old man advises you not to fight Your Majesty's idea, if Your Majesty really starts to be ruthless, we will all have to accompany the funeral." ”

Yang Qi glanced at Cao Bin and sneered, "You better take care of yourself first." This time it is unfavorable for you to conquer the Liao State, Zhao Guangyi can hold his breath in his heart. If you don't do things as he wants, I guess he won't have to worry about me, and he will kill you first. ”

Cao Bin didn't care at all about what Yang Qi said.

With Cao Bin's current status, Zhao Guangyi really didn't want to kill him.

At most, he was dismissed from office.

How could Cao Bin really care.

Cao Bin waved his hand with a big grin, and asked Yang Qi in a low voice again, "Can you tell the old man what you have been tinkering with for nearly a year?" ”

Yang Qi was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "You will see sooner or later, all in all, for you, it is something that can make you love and hate." ”

Yang Qi didn't say anything, but as soon as he explained, Cao Bin was itching.

He asked again and again, but Yang Qi ignored him.

Of course, Cao Bin's questioning of Yang Qi did not last long.

Zhao Guangyi soon sent someone to the Chinese army and summoned Cao Bin to interrogate.

The emperor summoned him, and Cao Bin naturally did not dare to refuse.

The big tent of the Chinese army, which belonged to Cao Bin, had long been occupied by Zhao Guangyi.

Cao Bin and Yang Qi were recorded successively.

After entering the account, I saw a group of scholars sitting upright where they were mud bodhisattvas.

And the generals of the Chinese army have no place to sit at all.

It can be seen that Zhao Guangyi's attitude of praising Wenchen and suppressing military generals is already obvious.

After Cao Bin entered the big tent, he led his subordinates and knelt down on one knee to salute Zhao Guangyi.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

“……”

Zhao Guangyi put his hands behind his back, stood in front of the dragon chair, stared at Cao Bin with deep eyes, and asked coldly: "Cao Bin, you are not effective in fighting, resulting in the army being blocked in Youzhou City, more than a month, you are guilty." ”

Cao Bin was very reluctant to admit his guilt, but under the coercion of Zhao Guangyi's cold eyes, he slowly lowered his head and said unwillingly: "The minister is guilty......

"Humph!"

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly and said, "From today on, you are still the commander of the Chinese army, but I will take back the command of the Chinese army." Since you don't have the ability to take Youzhou City, then I will come in person. ”

"I would like to be at the disposal of Your Majesty."

“……”

After Zhao Guangyi deprived Cao Bin of his command, he ordered the whole army to rest for a day.

Every commander has his own unique operational characteristics.

Cao Bin likes to break with skill.

Zhao Guangyi prefers to be crushed with an army.

Depending on the tactics, the formations used are naturally different.

Even the layout of the camp is different.

And, from Zhao Guangyi to Youzhou, and the changes after taking over the military power, Han Derang at the head of the city saw it in his eyes.

Han Derang slowly turned around, beat his chest with one hand, and bowed down to Yelu Xiuge, who was sitting in the city gate building, and said, "Lord, where is Song Jun singing?" ”

Six days ago, Yelu Hugo arrived in Youzhou City.

His performance is far less domineering than Zhao Guangyi.

As the commander of the three armies, although Yelu Hugo arrived in Youzhou City, he did not deprive Han Derang of his command.

Instead, he told Han Derang to do it boldly.

All in all, Jeruhugo is more of a spectator.

From entering the city to the present, there has been no mention of command operations.

If it weren't for Han Derang taking the initiative to ask, I'm afraid Yelu Xiuge wouldn't have said anything.

Hearing Han Derang's question, Yelu Xiuge smiled slightly and said: "Emperor Song has arrived, with Emperor Song's temperament, the left and right wings are like fierce tigers, but the Chinese army has been repeatedly blocked, he must be very unwilling.

Therefore, if this king guessed correctly, Emperor Song should have seized Cao Bin's military power and was ready to go into battle shirtless. ”

Han Derang frowned slightly, "Emperor Song actually wants to go into battle in person, with the prince's understanding of Emperor Song, how should the old minister deal with it?" ”

Brother Yelu Xiu glanced at Han Derang, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Emperor Song prefers to suppress people with power, so in every next battle, the Song army will definitely go all out."

Don't let your people hide in the city and enjoy the leisure, it's time to go to the city. ”

Han Derang nodded slowly and said, "The old minister understands. ”

At that moment, Han De gave up the city gate building and went to dispatch troops.

Previously, when Han Derang was fighting against Cao Bin, the two were more like a game, and both sides did not go all out in the battle.

The two people are fighting with wisdom, and they are fighting with calculations.

Now that it has been replaced by Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi has to go all out to fight bravely, and Han Derang can only deal with it in another way.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were pulled up the city wall by Han Derang.

For a time, the city wall was full of people.

……

Next.

When the day was bright, the Song army, which had rested for a day, under the command of Zhao Guangyi, 700,000 soldiers and horses came out together, and the black pressure pressed towards Youzhou City.

Zhao Guangyi rode a tall horse with golden armor on his back.

The palace ladies followed him with canopies and screen fans, and the guards surrounded Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was like afraid that others would not know that he was the emperor, and he was very sassy.

Yang Qi just glanced at it, pursed his mouth, and was not interested in looking at Zhao Guangyi anymore.

Yang Qi set his eyes on the faces of the soldiers of the forbidden army.

I have to admit that the emperor's presence on the battlefield did inspire the soldiers a lot.

The soldiers of the forbidden army raised their heads one by one and were high-spirited.

Even Cao Bin, the commander, was wearing a suit of armor and was ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

“……”

Zhao Guangyi gave an order, and then with the help of the guards, his order was transmitted to the whole army.

Thousands of drums beat at the same time, and the drums shook the sky.

"Enter!"

"Boom~"

700,000 soldiers of the forbidden army formed one black phalanx after another and pressed towards Youzhou City.

The huge military lineup, just looking at it, made the Liao soldiers in the city numb.

Many of them have probably never seen such a huge scene in their lives.

Han Derang saw that the morale of the Liao army was fluctuating greatly, and he was anxious, but he couldn't think of a way to improve morale.

He is not as applied as Yang Qi, and he dares to go out of the city to rush and kill a wave when the army is overwhelmed.

Yeluhuge, who had been watching the battle, seemed to see Han Derang's embarrassment.

He took two steps forward slightly, looked at the soldiers of the Great Song Forbidden Army outside the city, and sighed: "It's really a strong army!" If this king has such a strong army in his hands, will he still need to use intrigue to win?

The Song Kingdom was really rich. It is a waste for such a rich place to be in the hands of Zhao Guangyi, a waste.

If my Great Liao has mastered the land of the Song Kingdom, who can be the enemy of my Great Liao. ”

After sighing, Yelu Hugo looked at the anxious Han Derang and said lightly: "Go and give the order, sound the horn." The soldiers of our Daliao have never been afraid of war, let alone a strong enemy. ”

"Trumpet?"

Han Derang was obviously a little confused.

The Great Song Dynasty issued orders with drums, and the Great Liao issued orders with the sound of trumpets.

There are many kinds of commands.

But Han Derang didn't know that at this time, it was more appropriate to use that.

Brother Yelu glanced at Han Derang lightly, and said coldly: "Death Battle Pass!" ”

"Fight against the water, put it to death and come back to life. This is the culture of your Han people. ”

Han Derang was stunned for a while, and said solemnly: "The old minister understands, the old minister will let people pass the order." ”

With Han Derang's military order passed to the trumpeter.

Hundreds of trumpeters, with huge horns, began to blow with their cheeks puffed out.

The majestic and powerful trumpet sound shocked the Liao army, which was immersed in the military might of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Death Pass?"

An order that surprised all the Liao troops.

With the sound of the horn, it continued to tact.

The Liao army slowly regained its fighting spirit.

Death Passes are generally rarely used.

But once it appears, it represents a kind of determination, a determination to fight to the death.

Does the Liao army have the determination to fight to the death and not retreat?

Yes!

If there is no heart to fight to the death, why do the Liao people occupy a huge territory?
