The Liao army was defeated, but more casualties were only the Liao State's subordinate soldiers, the Bohai Soldiers.

The main cavalry of the Liao army did not suffer a devastating blow, and the casualties before and after did not exceed 2,000.

On February 25, Shi Jin led a large army to Chenzhou.

In the camp commander's tent, Shi Jin heard the spies' report and knew that He Chongbao had led the cavalry back to Liaoyang Mansion.

Shi Jin also thought about the whole army marching in a hurry, so as to block He Chongbao in Liaoyang City.

Li Ying, who was in charge of patrolling at night and guarding the gate of the village, walked in and reported: "Marshal, there is a Liao man who asks to see him, saying that there is something important to discuss!" ”

Shi Jin asked suspiciously, "Who is here?" ”

Li Ying shook his head and said: "He refused to say his name, only said that he would only be willing to see the marshal in person before he would be able to tell everything." However, he repeatedly said that he could help the marshal capture He Chongbao, the chief general of the Liao army! ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, invite him in!" ”

Not long after, the Liao man walked into the tent under the leadership of Li Ying.

Shi Jin looked at the person in front of him a little familiar, he should have seen it, but he just didn't know who it was.

Shi Jin sat on the right seat and asked, "Who are you, what do you want to see me?" ”

The man didn't answer, looked left and right, and said, "I have something important to discuss with you, general, please step back and go!" ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "No, these people are all my henchmen, if you have anything, just say it, otherwise leave quickly!" ”

When that person heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Xiao Ke Gao Yongfu is the younger brother of Gao Yongchang, the general of the Liao State!" ”

No wonder it's a little familiar, and sure enough, I've seen it.

However, on the battlefield, when life and death are at stake, no one has the leisure to recognize people. Even if you see it, you don't necessarily recognize it.

Shi Jin looked at Gao Yongfu and asked, "It turned out to be General Gao, I don't know what you came here today?" What do you mean by saying you can help me capture He Chongbao? Could it be that Gao Yongchang wants to join our army! ”

Gao Yongfu arched his hand and said: "The Khitan people treat us Bohai people harshly, and a few days ago, they completely ignored our life and death and left us behind. Don't want such a sect master! General Shi, you do have a group of tigers and wolves under your command. But you should also know that your army lacks war horses, and even if you defeat He Chongbao, you can't annihilate them. If the general wants to destroy them, I'm afraid it won't be easy! ”

I heard that the other party did not answer him directly, but diverted the topic and talked about the troubles of our army. Shi Jinnuo said thoughtfully: "It's not easy, but Liaoyang City is there." It is not difficult for our army to conquer Liaoyang City! ”

Gao Yongfu nodded and said: "I don't doubt this, but as the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves!" If He Chongbao made up his mind not to fight your army head-on, but to give up Liaoyang Mansion and wander and harass, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your army to live in peace! ”

Shi Jin could almost understand the other party's thoughts, and said with a sneer: "What did your eldest brother call you to discuss with me?" Could it be that he just wants to unite our army to kill He Chongbao and export his evil anger? ”

Gao Yongfu shook his head and said, "Of course not." General Shi, Ming people don't say secret words. The Great Song Dynasty has always wanted to deal with the Liao State and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. We, the Bohai people, have always wanted to restore the country. The Liao State can be said to be our common enemy, and we are willing to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to jointly deal with the Liao State. ”

Shi Jin said disdainfully: "Don't say that you have just been defeated by our army, I don't know how many soldiers and horses are left." It is unknown how many of the remaining Bohai soldiers are willing to obey you. What qualifications do you have to ...... with me? An alliance with the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Gao Yongfu said proudly: "My eldest brother has a reputation in the army, as long as my eldest brother shouts, the echoes will inevitably gather, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be recruited." At that time, the general and we will join forces to take He Chongbao and Xiao Baoxian, the minister left behind in Tokyo, and my eldest brother will be able to easily control Liaoyang Mansion! After the deed is completed, we will lead troops to help you capture Yanyun, and of course my eldest brother will also express his wish to be a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, the general will not be able to make great achievements easily, and I believe that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely reward the general for you! ”

Shi Jin laughed and said, "Hahahaha...... General Gao, isn't it because I, Shi Jin, is a three-year-old child? I helped you kill He Chongbao, but you occupied Liaoyang Mansion, and you could even take the opportunity to capture more than 50 prefectures in Liaodong. I, Shi Jin, only occupy a small Golden State. Oh, and the sixteen states of Yanyun who don't know when they will be cashed out. Why don't I, Shi Jin, occupy Liaoyang Mansion by myself, and want to cheapen your Gao family for nothing? ”

At the end, Shi Jin looked at Gao Yongfu coldly, his eyes were full of murderous aura.

Being stared at by Shi Jin's eyes, Gao Yongfu was like falling into an ice cellar, cold in his heart.

Feeling that unkind look, Gao Yongfu could only grit his teeth and forcefully say: "Not to mention that without our help, you can't easily exterminate the Liao cavalry." Moreover, the relationship between the Han and the Bohai people here in Liaoyang Mansion is the same as water and fire, how can you be a Han person and sit firmly in Liaodong. Even if you press Liaoyang Mansion, you will have to face the endless rebellion of the Bohai people. More importantly, you should not forget that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Liao. With us here, we can help you share the pressure of the Liao army. And we are in front, you can also sit comfortably in Suzhou Mansion. Wouldn't it be a pleasure! ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he pondered for a while and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, empty words are like asking us to help you, and it's delusional!" ”

Seeing that Shi Jin seemed to be negotiable, Gao Yongfu hurriedly said happily: "Of course we won't let you contribute in vain, after the matter is completed, we are willing to offer 50,000 taels of silver, 100,000 quintals of grain, 3,000 pieces of green skin, and 50 gold beads!" ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he said: "Except for these, the war horses in He Chongbao's army are all mine!" ”

The cavalry of the Liao army generally brought one or two spare horses, spare or consignment supplies.

As long as He Chongbao can really be blocked, at least five or six thousand war horses can be obtained. This is not a small number, with so many war horses, they can all form an army on their own!

"This ......" Hearing Shi Jin's request, Gao Yongfu suddenly hesitated.

This horse is a good thing, and they want it too!

Seeing Gao Yongfu's hesitation, Shi Jin shouted: "If you don't agree, then we'll get it ourselves." It's just a bit of a trick! ”

Hearing Shi Jin say this, Gao Yongfu finally made up his mind and shouted, "Okay, I will agree to General Shi's conditions on behalf of my eldest brother." I hope General Shi will not lose his trust! ”

Shi Jin shouted: "You go out to inquire, I, Shi Jin, have always been true to my word, and I have never broken the trust of others!" ”

Gao Yongfu said: "I believe that General Shi is not a villain who does not believe in his word. We plan to start up in five days, and we hope that the general will hold off the march and let He Chongbao relax his vigilance so that we can act conveniently! ”

"Yes!" Shi Jin nodded and said. "However, I want to hear your plan, so that it will be easier for our army to cooperate with you!"

"Our plan is like this: we invite a prestigious Liao man to come forward to feast He Chongbao, and we set up an ambush at the banquet, as long as He Chongbao goes to the appointment, we will rush out and chop him into meat sauce to feed the dogs!" After Gao Yongfu told his eldest brother's plan for an uprising. "Then we will take the opportunity to open the city gates, and the general only needs to lead his troops into the city to intimidate the other Liao soldiers from resisting. That's it! ”

"No problem, it's a trifle!" Shi Jin said.

"Okay, in five days, Xiao Ke will come in person to show the way for the army. Inevitably, it was discovered that Xiao Ke had to rush back as soon as possible and say goodbye! Gao Yongfu arched his hand and said.

"Wait for the good news!" Shi Jin shouted.

At the gate of the camp, looking at the figure of the other party galloping away on horseback, Zhu Wu opened his mouth and asked: "The marshal really agreed to their request to let them return to the country and manage Liaoyang Mansion?" ”

Shi Jin snorted and shouted, "Wishful thinking! We have been planning for so long, how can we give up so easily and cheapen them for nothing. If it weren't for the fact that I could block He Chongbao's cavalry, I wouldn't have the kung fu to deal with them. Zhu Gui! ”

Hearing the shout, Zhu Gui hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"You immediately send people to closely monitor He Chongbao, Gao Yongchang, and Gao Yongfu, I want to know their every move. Make it easy for us to do things! ”

"Order!" After Zhu Gui gave up, he turned around and left, and went to arrange the personnel.

Shi Jin looked at the Liaoyang defense line and sneered: "If you want to snatch food from my Shi Entrance, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" ”

Hearing that Shi Jin was just perfunctory, Zhu Wu said: "But what he said is worthy of the marshal's attention!" ”

Xu Guanzhong on the side asked, "But about the tense relationship between the Han and the Bohai people?" ”

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Hmm! In order to maintain their rule, the Khitans sowed a wedge between the two peoples. Now the relationship between the two clans is like fire and water, and as long as there is a little fire, a fight may break out. If Gao Yongchang controlled Liaoyang Mansion, he was afraid that everyone of the Han people would be in danger. Similarly, if the marshal controls Liaoyang Mansion, I am afraid that the Bohai people will also be restless, and even in order to escape from Liaoyang Mansion, it is not impossible. This is what the marshal needs to pay attention to! ”

When Shi Jin heard this, his brows furrowed.

This ethnic relationship is the most troublesome, and if it is not handled well, it will leave hidden dangers.

"What do you think would be a better solution to this?"

Xu Guanzhong pondered for a while and said: "If you want to completely reconcile the grievances of the two clans in the short term, you can first ask an elder who has prestige and wisdom among the Bohai people to serve as a deputy to help pacify and deal with the affairs of the Bohai people." As long as the marshal is fair and just, does not treat harshly and does not discriminate, I believe that the relationship between the two races will be reconciled! ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell people to pay attention to see if there is a suitable person." I'll visit you personally if necessary! ”

……

In order to confuse He Chongbao, let him let his guard down.

Shi Jin let the whole army full of marching speed, passing by several places with beautiful mountains and rivers, and even held a feast, eating and drinking with his subordinates. At the end of the day, the Liangshan army marched only eleven or twelve miles.

Secretly, Shi Jin asked Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to lead five hundred special forces, as well as a thousand mountain and forest infantry newly formed by Liu Tang and Han Bolong, to take the mountain road and march to Liaoyang.

At the same time, the wind wolf rider led by Shi Wengong also tried to find a hidden place to rest during the day, and traveled quickly at night.

On February 27, the army had just passed Chenzhou and arrived at the border of Liaoyang Province.

instructed Zhu Tong to guard the camp, Shi Jin was on the horse, leading Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong, and more than a hundred guards, ready to go to Baiyun Mountain for a walk.

Zhu Gui hurriedly walked over and said, "Marshal, my subordinates have something important to report!" ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately handed over the horse rope to the guards and walked back to the tent quickly.

The group walked back to the tent, and as soon as Shi Jin sat down, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Gui hurriedly said: "Marshal, my subordinates have found that Gao Yongchang and his party are stepping up their efforts to contact all forces, and there are signs that by tomorrow at the latest, they will start to eradicate He Chongbao, the capital of Liao, and Xiao Baoxian, the minister left behind in Tokyo!" ”

"What!" Shi Jin was taken aback when he heard it. "Damn, that bastard Gao Yongchang dares to fool me!"

Xu Guanzhong quickly reacted and said, "Marshal, Gao Yongchang is trying to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle. However, this is not an opportunity for our army, just in time to catch them all! ”
