Yingzhou, Jingshan, Wuhua Mountain.

Annoying autumn rain, the misty land of Jianghan. Several horsemen galloped down the rolling hills, and the knights looked down on the valley below, and there was a wide official road in the valley.

It's not a good idea to say that it is a valley, the mountains here are very low, the slope is gentle, but it is actually a patch of grassland. If it weren't for the humidity of the air that could wring out water, it would really make people suspect that this is the vast land of northern Shaanxi.

And most of the warriors in the horse have come from there, since the Jingkang year to the present, so long time has passed, but their hometown cannot be returned.

On one side of the valley, on the other side of the ridgeline, on the anti-slope, thousands of soldiers were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed. As for the war horses, they were all loaded with bridles and knelt on the ground to recuperate.

That's right, this is the white cavalry led by Yue Yun himself. Since the old camp in Jingshan was withdrawn, they chose to ambush the main Khitan force of Yelu Mawu in this place.

"The weather is neither hot nor cold, the ground is solid, and our army occupies a favorable position, it is really a good day to fight." Yue Yun couldn't stop running his horse between the mountains, exploring the terrain, wanting to keep in mind every grass and tree within a radius of dozens of miles.

This is already the system of all the leading generals of the entire Sizhou Army every time they go to battle, and Wang Junenvoy said that fighting a war is a battle for space and place. Fight the enemy at a time and place that is beneficial to me.

Not only do you have to memorize the map before the battle, but you also have to run around the battlefield in advance to understand the terrain thoroughly. Yes, being an officer is so hard. When you get to the ground, the soldier can fall asleep, but you can't. Otherwise, if you lose the battle because you are not familiar with the geography of the battlefield, not only will you die, but you will also have to implicate the other robes.

The grass is not deep, it is all shallow grass close to the ground. Moreover, you can feel that the soil under your feet is very thin, and the bottom is full of rocks and dense high roots. The horses galloped, not only fast and powerful, but also did not even leave a few hoof prints.

The war horse under the seat opened its mouth wide, spitting white gas, and its brown fur was wet and sticking to its neck, and it was not known whether it was dew or sweat.

Behind Yue Yun, a group of guards on horseback followed closely. Their bodies rose and fell as the horses ran, looking relaxed and comfortable. It can be seen how high the riding skills of this white soldier are.

"General Yingxiang, it's okay, it's okay, I've seen all the places that should be seen." Fang Irong let out a breath and said.

Yue Yun: "Don't worry, let's walk forward again." ”

Fang Irong smiled bitterly: "General, I know that you are in a hurry, and I am afraid that Ma Wu will not come." But if you leave, you will be separated from the army. If there is a good one, there is no need to fight this battle. ”

yes, this battle is so critical. Ma Wucheng was confused by Lu Benzhong, and the opportunity for the scouts to be chaotic suddenly went around their backs, sealing the passage between Yingzhou and Anlu, and together with the Jurchen cavalry, they took a trap on Tabai.

By this time, the entire Anlu war situation was already in absolute passivity. Putting aside the White Army, as far as the current situation is concerned, it can be said that the door of Anlu has been opened. Not to mention the Khitans, once the Jurchen's three thousand iron horsemen rushed into Jianghan, what a terrible scene.

In a sense, even if there was no contact with the Jin Army, the Tabai Army had been completely defeated.

But Yue Yun was not convinced, he felt that things had not yet reached the last moment, and he had to give it a try anyway to see if he could bring this situation over to the point of being too bad.

That is, eat Ma Wu first, snatch the Fuhe Wharf, and seal the Anlu gate. Then he freed his hands and slowly thought about how to deal with Yan Xiyin's cavalry.

However, Yelu Ma Wu is such an experienced veteran, and the more than 3,000 foot soldiers under his command are not easy to deal with. As long as people come to defend Dazhai and don't come out, just wait for the Jurchen cavalry to come.

I have to say that Lu Benzhong, the old horseman, had a good idea, and falsely claimed to the outside world that the military envoy had returned, had mastered the Tabai Army, and was ready to pull the troops to Fuzhou to rest.

The Sizhou army and the Khitans have already formed a deep feud in Jiankang Mansion, and the beheading of the military envoy is such a great achievement, Ma Wu will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"However, there are no absolutes in the world, what if Ma Wu doesn't come?"

Looking at the rolling hills, Yue Yun suddenly had no confidence.

At this time, a guard said, "General Yingxiang, Old Pifu Lu seems to be sick?" ”

Speaking of this Lu Benzhong, the whole army hated him so much, according to everyone's temperament, it was natural to cut him with a thousand knives, and he was willing to cook a pot of sobering soup with his heart and liver.

Yue Yun was the same, many times he couldn't help but draw his sword and make a move, but every time the killing intent rose, he forced himself to hold back this thought.

Yes, he seems to have a short-tempered and impulsive personality on the surface. But he didn't do a thing, and he could still distinguish the priorities.

After all, this old man is a serious court official, although he has no authority, but his protégés are all over the world and are extremely famous. If he kills him, he is afraid that he will cause big trouble for the envoy of the king. The military envoy is in trouble, and he is also in trouble, and Yue Yun is most afraid of trouble.

After thinking about it, he still decided to hand over the matter of how to deal with Lu Benzhong to Wang Shen, and let him scratch his head about this matter.

Although he didn't want to kill Lu Benzhong with his own hands, he didn't know why, Yue Yun was a little inexplicably afraid of this old thing's intrigues, and he always felt that although he was a prisoner, he always wanted to do something secretly.

Therefore, in the past few days, Yue Yun simply took him with him and ordered him not to leave him for twenty steps. Otherwise, you will not be spared.

After marching for several days, coupled with the fact that he came out early this morning to explore the terrain, he was probably not affected by the wind and cold, and Lu Benzhong fell ill.

Yue Yunla stopped his horse and looked, only to see Lu Benzhong trembling in a dirty sheepskin jacket: "What's the matter, you're sick, you can't die." ”

He stretched out his hand and touched Lu Benzhong's forehead, and found that it was very hot.

Lu Benzhong pleaded: "General Yue, go back, you've finished reading everything you should see, it's useless for you to wait here, it's too cold, and the little old man really can't stand it." I'm already old, and if I continue like this, I have to die. Please also ask Lang Zhong in the army to give me a dose of medicine! If the old man is dead, don't you not want to explain to the Wang June, and the Wang Juneno can't think about the court to explain, right? ”

Seeing his trivial face, Yue Yun felt a wave of disgust in his heart, and snorted coldly: "What's not easy to explain, with Du Xianggong here, what if the military envoy kills you?" You old puppet has done a lot of evil, and I can't wait to eat your flesh, and the reason why I have kept you until now is because my Sizhou army has a system. Once the enemy's big man is captured, he must first report to the military envoy before making a decision. You are full of evil this time, and the military envoy is afraid that you will not be able to tolerate it. ”

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Hearing Yue Yun say this, Lu Benzhong trembled, "General Yingxiang, you are the wife and brother of the military envoy, he will definitely listen to your words." Seeing that I have set up such a good plan for you, please say a few kind words in front of Daosi, right? ”

Yue Yun giggled: "Old Pifu Lu, didn't you shout cautiously in front of the military envoy before, your nose was raised to the sky, why, now you are afraid of the military envoy, and you beg to come to me." What is the second meter set for the estrangement, the straight lady thief, now the five horses, the Khitans, I haven't seen a single one. It seems that Ma Wu was not fooled! You are pulling Lao Tzu's troops back and forth, and you can't kill Ma Wu, if you delay the fighter, what crime should you be guilty of? No, no...... I can't hand you over to the envoys, I have to find a way to kill them all. ”

Lu Benzhong was shocked: "General Yue, you just said that you would hand over Xiao Lao'er to the military envoy, how can you go back on your word now?" ”

Yue Yun put away his smile: "The military envoy knows this person the most, and I like you as a scholar the most, and I treat you and others as if they are treasures." Especially for you, an old horseman, I appreciate it. When I was in Huangzhou before, I would read a few words from time to time, and hating you was not like Donglouyue. Moreover, he seems to be strong, but in fact he is soft-hearted, and sometimes he is indecisive and cannot be ruthless. I'm afraid that you, the old puppet, are flamboyant, and the military envoy is happy to hear it and let you go. ”

"I let you escape last time, and this time you came to make trouble, how can I still allow you to live in the world?" The more Yue Yun spoke, the more indignant he became: "The old Zamao surnamed Lu, I don't know what you think, since you returned to Lin'an, how can you think of returning to Jianghan again." What kind of monstrous hatred do we have between the Sizhou Army and you? ”

Lu Benzhong was so scolded by him that he couldn't raise his head, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "Tell General Ying Xiang the truth, the old man only got an idle position after returning to the court...... I am unwilling to ...... Li Hengbao promoted me to take over his position as prefect, and said that once he won Jianghan, he would still be knighted...... Fame and fortune are a thing, and the older the old man gets, the more enthusiastic he becomes...... Ashamed, ashamed...... "Yes, when he was in Qihuang, he was treated as a guest by Wang Shen and Kong Yanzhou, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands for rain, mobilizing the front army and horses, although he also encountered the danger of nine deaths and a lifetime, but that kind of scenery made people happy."

Once this person tastes power, he can't let it go anymore.

After returning to Lin'an, he was only in the Qingshui Yamen, and there were only dozens of officials in total. Although the grade is high, there are still higher than you, and anyone who is unhappy can reprimand you a few words.

Moreover, after the Southern Crossing of the Great Song Dynasty, the country's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy, and they basically could not pay the full amount of money. In the first month of his arrival in Lin'an, he only got a bucket of rice and a half foot of cloth and a pair of shoes.

Lu Benzhong couldn't figure out what was the use of using a shoe as a shoe, he couldn't wear it, and he couldn't give it away.

After only a month as an official in the court, Lu Benzhong was so depressed that he was about to die. At this time, he realized that he belonged to the vast wilderness of Jianghan and the great battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as Li Heng put on the seal, he sent someone to pick it up, and without saying a word, he handed over the messenger at hand and came happily.

"Haha, haha, villain, it's really a villain, what a big celebrity, what Mr. Donglai, phew!" Yue Yun spat and ordered: "Come on, take off this old man's clothes and cold him for an hour!" ”

"Ah, General Yue spares his life, General Yue spares his life!" Lu Benzhong was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, he had already launched a high fever, and if it was cold for another hour, he would definitely not be able to bear it tonight. In this way, Yue Yun can say that he died of illness, even if others want to blame, they can't blame him.

It's so ruthless!

Suddenly, a cavalryman shouted: "General Yingxiang, here!" ”

There was joy and excitement in his voice, even with a hint of trill.

The man who stepped on the white army, who must charge forward in every battle, and face the enemy's sword and gun in every battle, has long put life and death aside, and his heart has already become hard. It's rare to see things like this today.

Hearing his call, Yue Yun and the others turned their heads to look, only to see a heavy line of people in the distance surging along the official road.

Jeremawu took the bait.
