Qinzhou City, the general Cao Dayou is entertaining a Taoist in the palace, the Taoist is wearing a gossip purple silk robe, eight feet tall, purple hair, several feet long, and his face is bright, not Yao Pingzhong and who it is, but no one would have thought that this person would actually appear here, and he is also dressed in Taoist clothes.

"Why is the general like this, the defeat at the beginning, it is also because of the strong Li Jing army and the ferocious cavalry of the Jinren, and it has little to do with the general, His Majesty has repeatedly sent people to invite the general to go out of the mountain, but the general lives quietly in the mountains and forests, and is accompanied by Huang Ting all day long, putting the world aside, which makes people with lofty ideals in the world feel sad!" Cao Dayou looked at Yao Pingzhong and said with some regret.

"In the eyes of the general, the world is the people of the world, but in the eyes of people like Poor Dao, it is just a passing cloud, even if it is called the king and hegemon, in the end it is not a cup of loess, but in the eyes of Poor Dao and others, it is so easy to become an immortal and travel in the mountains and forests." Yao Pingzhong shook his head and said: "There are gold lords, Tang Emperors and Song Emperors in this world, who is the last in this world, no one knows, the general is fighting for Emperor Song today, and Emperor Song will unify the world in the future, and the general will naturally be famous in the world, but if the Tang Emperor or the gold lord wins the country, what is the general?" In the end, it can only be buried in the long river of history. But just like the poor man, he is at ease, not bound by the king, he can be at ease, he can be at ease, how fast he is! Yao Pingzhong touched his beard, his eyes lit up, and there was a faint smile, looking detached.

"The general has the Great Song Rongen, why did he live in the mountains and wilderness at this time, Li Jing is ambitious, even if he knows that the general has left the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid he will not let the general go." Cao Dayou couldn't help frowning, the reason why he persuaded Yao Pingzhong so much was because there were not many generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, especially not many generals in the Western Army, and there were very few who were good at cavalry combat, Yao Pingzhong was an outstanding general in the Western Army, unlike the Seed Master Dao, these people were already dying, Yao Pingzhong was in the prime of life, looking at his spirit, it was much better than the average general, at least he could fight for decades, such a person has rich experience, if he can rejoin the Great Song Army, he will definitely be able to increase the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Army.

"The Great Song Rong'en will naturally repay the poor Dao, and he followed the old Xianggong to conquer the Western Xia, hasn't he already repaid the imperial court? Now the poor Dao is in love with the mountains and rivers and has become a person in the Daomen, and everything in the world has nothing to do with the poor Dao. The corners of Yao Pingzhong's mouth twitched, and finally shook his head and said: "The general is a general of the Cao family, a meritorious nobleman, different from the poor road. ”

"Then the Taoist is here today?" The dissatisfaction in Cao Dayou's heart has accumulated to a certain point, and even the title has changed from "general" to "Taoist chief", and there is still a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Yao Pingzhong was not angry after hearing this, but said: "In the end, I have received the favor of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are some things that I still have to tell the general, and the general knows that Qinzhou is about to come to a catastrophe." ”

"Dao Chang is really joking, although my Qinzhou is in Guanzhong, but how many troops are there in Guanzhong at this time, if this general does not attack Guanzhong, Li Jing should feel lucky, can he have soldiers and horses to kill?" Cao Dayou didn't believe Yao Pingzhong even more, and said, "Dao Chief, how many people are there in this pass?" Li Qiao is suppressing bandits in the northwest! I heard that the relationship between Li Jing and the countries of the Western Regions is very tense, and Li Qiao, the murderous demon king, is still in the northwest! As for the others, I'm afraid they are all fighting with me in the east! ”

"The war in the east is just a bait, Li Jing has long wanted to occupy Jiangnan, but there is a golden man in the east, so there is no way, but what about in the southwest? Originally, there were Western Xia in the southwest who dragged some soldiers and horses, but now that Western Xia has perished, the entire northwest has become Li Jing's back garden, and he wants to get more territory, only in the southwest, only in Shu. Qinzhou is the only place to enter the southwest, so Poor Dao thinks that Li Jing will definitely attack Qinzhou. You and I have a meeting, so I have come to inform that the general can send a large army to come as soon as possible and defend Qinzhou. ”

"The Taoist chief is really a joke, although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Li Jing's hands, but most of them are in the east, even if it is under Li Qiao, most of the soldiers and horses are also guarding Western Xia, Western Xia is not stable, where does he have soldiers and horses to go south, the Taoist chief has probably been in the mountains for too long, so I don't know the situation." Cao Dayou shook his head, at first he still believed Yao Pingzhong's words, but when it came to the future, he didn't believe it, although Li Qiao was powerful, he didn't have enough soldiers and horses in his hands.

"What about the tribes of Western Xia? Poor Dao knows that the Tuoba Department, the Fine Seal Department, etc. have all taken refuge in Li Jing, when Li Yuanhao was able to establish Western Xia with eight departments, the current Li Qiao may not be able to pull out 100,000 troops with eight departments, Li Qiao only needs to pull out the elite of all the departments of Hehuang, and use his elite headquarters to sit in the northwest, not only can guard against the countries of the Western Regions, but also can suppress all parties in Western Xia. Yao Pingzhong said with some concern.

After Cao Dayou listened, his face changed, if this is the case, Qinzhou will face the attack and siege of Li Qiao's nearly 100,000 troops, Cao Dayou does not think that he can resist Li Qiao's attack, how powerful the Western Xia people were back then, even if it was the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty was not his opponent, Li Qiao led these tiger and wolf divisions to attack, Cao Dayou will be defeated.

"Quick, quick, send out a scout horse to see the movement in Guanzhong." Cao Dayou stood up and said loudly to the soldiers around him. Li Jing's attack on Ludi was a bait, locking the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty to the east, forgetting the situation in Shudi, Li Qiao came to attack, how could Shu resist? Thinking of this, Cao Dayou suddenly shuddered.

"Hey!" Yao Pingzhong immediately sighed when he saw this, according to his speculation, at this time, Li Qiao's army was probably out of Guanzhong, not far from Qinzhou.

"Newspaper, newspaper! General, there is a large army outside the city, and it is the Tang army that is coming. As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of footsteps outside, and a pro-soldier looked flustered, sweating profusely, and shouted loudly: "It's the Li Zi banner, the army of the Tang Dynasty is coming." ”

"Li Qiao is really here, how is this good." Cao Dayou's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Retreat, you can only retreat." Yao Pingzhong thought for a while and said: "There are not many soldiers and horses in Shudi, only by concentrating troops can we resist Li Qiao's attack, general, it is better to temporarily withdraw the troops, leave more soldiers and horses, and retreat to Yangping Pass to garrison, maybe you can resist Li Qiao's attack." Yao Pingzhong was favored by Zhao Song in the end, and he couldn't help but come up with an idea at this time.

"Retreat!" Cao Dayou's face was stunned, and he finally smiled bitterly: "Everyone else can retreat, but my Cao family can't retreat." ”

"General." Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but say: "Although Li Qiao is fierce, he won't attack the people, so the general might as well retreat into Shu and continue to resist." Yao Pingzhong didn't understand Cao Dayou's thoughts.
