"Brush ...... Suno ...... Ah......" Yang Jingzong, who had already begun to slurre, desperately screamed and wanted to say the whole thing, but he only had half of his tongue left in sharp pain, and he didn't listen to it at all.

"No, no, so-and-so won't kill you, on the contrary, you will live well, better than those brothers of yours, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing!" With such words in his mouth, Luo's palm holding Yang's neck was as stable as a rock, his knife was fast, and with his firm and decisive technique, Yang Jingzong's half-amputated tongue was perfectly and quickly detached from its attachment, which also fully proved the danger of overcoming rigidity with softness.

After doing all this, he stuffed his mouth full of hemostatic dispersion for Yang Jingzong, who was looking for his own death, and then finally looked at Yang Jingzong's distorted face because of pain, but Luo Kaixian did not have any pity in his heart, only peace and calmness remained. In the final analysis, if it weren't for the fact that this was in Kaifeng Mansion, he would prefer to directly wield a knife and slaughter this crowd, rather than just breaking a few fingers and toes.

Luo was fast, his guards were not slow, their fingers were removed from the joints, their toes were just as simple, and the guards who did it did the same, stuffing the severed fingers and toes into the placket of their original owners—no one would take these things back for collection......

Of course, Zhang Laoshi, a doctor, also played his role - suturing and bandaging wounds.

In the end, in addition to the people who were still tied to the tethered horse stakes and wept bitterly and wailed because of the pain, there were also people in the Yang Mansion who were also panicked and looked around...... and some of the remaining blood on the ground.

As for what the people who were punished were thinking, no one cared at all.

At this point, Luo Kaixian and his subordinates had completed their intended goal of entering the city, and all that remained was to smoothly exit this ancient capital city - after all, they were not here to attack the city.

Glancing at Zhang Laoshi, who had quickly and effectively bandaged the last toe, Luo Kaixian said aloud: "The past ends here, Yang Erlang, and unknown people, today a certain family is a guest, stay and other lives, if you are not satisfied, just come and report!" It's just that you must be thoughtful in the future, otherwise it will not just be your fingers and toes that will fall, but your head! ”

What can someone who has been utterly defeated by pain and coldness that he has never seen before?

They once thought they were superior, but now they are struggling in pain, they can only quickly retract the once ruffian and contemptuous eyes, and they must also hide the deep resentment hidden in their hearts, and hang down their not very smart heads.

However, all this was expected by Luo Kaixian, but it was not worth his attention.

Huo Ran got up, turned onto the duke's back, and Luo Kaixian shouted solemnly: "And Grass, defensive formation, the master of this Kaifeng Mansion is here!" ”

"No!" And Glass also snorted, not very loudly, just a few glances, and the rest of the chiefs arranged everything.

In fact, today, there is little need for Luo to personally order such things as specific tactical details. For example, this time, his entourage consisted of nearly a hundred people, fifteen of whom were locally recruited idlers, who were not considered combatants, but only sixty-one of the personal guards, not counting Glass.

There were only six people who were executed before, and the rest of them were not stakes poked aside, they were all leading the execution of combat preparations by their respective chiefs, and the one in charge of guerrilla was even more looking for a suitable combat position, such as Shi Le, a few guys with outstanding archery skills were not on horseback, but climbed up to the tall gatehouse of Yang Mansion, and similar to Grass, a guy who can handle mounted combat like Grass is ready to defend against the enemy's bow and arrows. Hellton's fellow didn't show up in the group, but hid in the crowd - his task was not to shoot cold arrows in wartime, but to check the signal, and if anything was wrong, immediately leave to set fire to a few predetermined locations.

The worst combat strength in the crowd is the dozen or so gangsters who sang and beat gongs and drums before, these people happened to hide behind the 'fortress' surrounded by a red lacquered coffin, and it may not be possible for them to shoot bows and arrows, but it is not a problem to save their lives, and the red lacquered coffin is equipped with an ox cart to form a 'fortress'.

If such an arrangement can't save himself, Luo Kaixian might as well find a rope to hang himself.

Moreover, all these arrangements are still not all the confidence of Luo someone who dares to rush directly into the city, and more importantly, his judgment on the battlefield - did Emperor Zhao Heng of the Song Dynasty and his ministers dare to fight a battle at their own doorstep?

According to the logic of later generations, Luo Kaixian thought from the beginning that Emperor Song and his ministers did not have the courage to do anything else, the altars and jars of Kaifeng Mansion were all Zhao Song's belongings, facing an enemy who still couldn't figure out the details - this enemy was still very fierce, once it was broken, was it worth it?

And just for a gentleman who bullies men and women?

Even if this gentleman is Emperor Song's brother-in-law, even if this is an imperial country, Emperor Song Zhao Heng can't suppress all the ministers from blindly fighting in their own homes, because they are wearing shoes, and they are barefoot, at least for now.

If he was forced to let go of his hands and feet and smashed this Kaifeng Mansion, he would not frown his brows, but what about Emperor Zhao Heng of the Song Dynasty? Can he still sit firmly?

Therefore, this kind of inference is the fundamental reason why Luo Kaixian acted like this and seemed to be unscrupulous.

Of course, inferences are only inferences after all, and Luo Kaixian will not pin all his hopes on inferences, no matter how many pre-war inferences there are, they cannot be used as a code of conduct in combat, so inferences can only be used as strategies.

When it comes to battle, it is inferred that it is impossible to defeat the enemy, and the only thing that can be relied on is tactics, specific to everyone's tactics, and this is what Luo Kaixian is good at......

……

Fortunately, in this era, Song Jing Bianliang was still newly built, and the neighborhood was full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the adjacent streets were very wide, and it was not a problem to accommodate a thousand people, so there was enough space to accommodate crowds or ...... Conquest.

When the onlookers retreated to both sides of the road like a tide, when Luo Kaixian's guards had already set up a defensive formation, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the end of the road like thunder.

Unlike the panicked and chaotic crowd, Luo Kaixian and his guards stood like a rock in front of the Yang Mansion, and no one dared to approach this 200-meter radius of defense......

On the street where ten horses can be walked in parallel, the crowds who originally watched the excitement flocked to both sides of the street, and the pride on their faces as the people of the capital disappeared, replaced by a face full of panic, and on the bluestone road that was not very smooth, there were still various sundries that they had abandoned in a panic, such as shoes, fur heads, hair bands, wicker baskets, scattered fruits and dried fruits, and cooking cakes that they had bitten a few bites...... It's a mess.

The swift cavalry finally came into sight, and with superhuman eyesight, Luo Kaixian immediately distinguished the number of cavalry - less than four hundred, this number made his mood relax a lot, because such a number verified some of his previous conjectures - the military mobilization of the Song people was inefficient, and their combat attitude was not resolute enough.

As he expected, although the Song army that came was in a hurry, it stopped two hundred paces away like the previous spectators, and after a short rest, a general who was about thirty years old and had a few short hairs came forward on horseback with a man dressed as a civil official.

Obviously, this is going to be a question or a negotiation, seeing this posture, Luo Kaixian was not ambiguous, he didn't bring a single guard, reached out and patted the duke's thick neck and stepped forward.

In a few breaths, about to the midfield, they stopped at a distance of about a dozen steps from each other, and before they had time to take a closer look, Luo Kaixian heard the leader of the opposite side who was also sitting on horseback say: "This general Cao Xun (1), dare to ask but Lingzhou Weishilang in person?" ”

This question came a little abruptly, but it was also reasonable, Luo Kaixian's thoughts turned in his mind, and he replied calmly without humility or arrogance: "It is Lingzhou Weisi here, Cao ...... The general is here...... What is it for? ”

Looking up and down at Luo Kaixian's figure, Cao Xun secretly complained in his heart, the other party was tall and ...... It is indeed a tall horse, not only is the horse under the seat of the horse a big circle, even if the other party is one size larger than himself, as long as this kind of person is not reckless, he must not be an idle person, and he is afraid that this errand will not be so good. Although his own family is the most unsuccessful one of the Cao family, he has never been less influenced by family education.

Cao Xun was apprehensive, but he didn't dare to slack off, although the other party's words were suspicious of stealing the host, but he could only turn a blind eye, and asked stubbornly: "Brother Tai's gongs and drums have alarmed the Holy Driver, it is the time of the Great Dynasty, and the officials are not allowed to leave the table for no reason, the Holy Lord sent Cao to inquire, if something happens here, it will annoy Brother Tai and a certain person to walk in a circle......"

The so-called raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, seeing that Cao Xun's tone on the other side was quite kind, Luo Kaixian's anger in his chest disappeared a little, but it was impossible to go on a circle with the other party - it was no different from being taken away by the police in the future to 'assist in the investigation', so he said in a deep voice: "It's not necessary to walk around with General Cao, Wei is not a son of Song, but your Song law can't restrain Wei, as for what Wei did this time, the general might as well ask the person concerned......"

With Luo Kaixian's waving hand and gesturing behind him, Cao Xun turned his eyes into the distance, and happened to glance at Yang Jingzong, who was being supported by several people and was vomiting blood, and secretly said in his heart, this errand was about to end, but before he could express his position, the civil official accompanying him screamed in surprise.

This person had a clear voice, stared at the details of the surroundings, and then stared at Luo Kaixian's head and face, and shouted: "Wu Na barbarian, dare to commit a crime at the foot of the imperial city, do you want to plot against him?!" ”

If Cao Xun, who was born as a military general before, was unexpectedly cautious and careful in his every move, the performance of this civil official was just the opposite, this voice not only completely destroyed the previous tacit understanding that could still communicate, but made the atmosphere tense all of a sudden......

The ignorant Song sergeant involuntarily raised his blade when he heard that the officer was angry, and on the side of Lingzhou Luo, although the main general was quite calm, all the guards were ready to attack as soon as possible.

That's how it is.

………………………………

Note: (1) Cao Xun, year of birth and death unknown, the sixth son of Cao Bin, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, is recorded to be the official to the Dongshang Pavilion - this official position is equivalent to the emperor's gatekeeper, the position of the military attache Qing Yao, and is considered a close confidant of the emperor. However, I privately think that this kind of position is mostly played by the sons of military generals stationed in other cities, and there may be another meaning - protons.
