Li Yufang helped Dong Bacheng to stand up, Dong Bacheng snorted, turned around and asked Li Yufang: "What do you mean by him." Li Yufang groaned: "This is intimidation. Dong Bacheng squinted his eyes and smiled: "If it's just to intimidate, then it doesn't mean anything, I bet with you, he must still have a back hand." ”

The Chinese army guard trotted over, holding a feather arrow in his hand, and a letter was tied to the shaft of the arrow, Dong Bacheng did not answer the letter, but asked the Chinese army guard: "Did you hurt anyone when the building collapsed?" The Chinese guard replied: "Only two passers-by were injured, and the injuries were not serious, and they have been sent for treatment." ”

Li Yufang read the letter, frowned and said to Dong Bacheng: "He wants to invite his teacher to go out, what is the reason, it must be a fraud." ”

Dong Bacheng laughed, shook his hand again and again, and said, "He is not so unbearable." "After a pause," don't look at his face, in fact, his life is not easy, first soldier and then salute, well, I think he wants to retire, I'm afraid that I won't let go, so he wants to see me." ”

Yang Hao's life is not good, Dong Bacheng still knows in his heart, these days, the grass roots and bark of the mountains and forests around Lanzhou City have been eaten up by the Xining army, and if they don't retreat, they are afraid that most of them will starve to death under Lanzhou City, which Li Yufang also sees very clearly, what he doesn't understand is why Dong Bacheng doesn't take the initiative to attack at this favorable opportunity,

Li Yufang asked in a low voice, "The teacher really wants to see him." ”

"Why not." Dong Bacheng asked with a smile, and then his face became serious, he sighed, and said affectionately: "I'm old, and I have already seen through victory and defeat, fame and fortune, but I can't help but leave a way back for you, I wanted to help Chai Shangyan to shelter you from the wind and rain, but this person is too selfish, and it seems that he can't count on it." ”

Dong Bacheng's eyes dimmed, a feeling of remorse welled up in his heart, after Li Zaiyi's death, Hedong was in chaos, and the struggle for power and profit between various factions has reached a fever pitch, in order to stabilize the overall situation in Hedong, Dong Bacheng pushed Chai Shangyan to stay behind, temporarily in charge of the overall situation of Hedong, Chai Shangyan is cowardly, rigid, and narrow-minded, these Dong Bacheng saw it in his eyes, his idea was that this chaotic situation in Hedong could not be suppressed by the generals, Chai Shangyan was just a transitional figure, such a person, if he was too strong, In the future, it will inevitably bring endless trouble to the shift, and a person like Chai Shangyan who has qualifications, but has a shallow foundation and is undesirable, is the most suitable candidate.

But Dong Bacheng didn't expect that Chai Shangyan would betray him so quickly, how could he have the slightest thought and support for what he is doing now, blindly taking revenge, such a person is no longer worthy of his own life.

He has been observing Yang Hao these days, although he is still young and immature, and he lacks a decisiveness in doing things, but it is undeniable that this person's mind is much more generous than Chai Shangyan, and he is also a decent person, he has six battalions of longbow soldiers, if he launches a fire attack, Lanzhou City is instantly a sea of fire, and the grass, trees, people and animals are all ashes, but he doesn't want to hurt people's lives, and he hasn't made any moves.

He shot down the flag tower with a longbow, and then sent a letter asking for peace, beating and pulling, which shows his courage and strategy, isn't this the person he has been looking for?

"Teacher, you are entrusting the soldiers to him."

Li Yufang saw through Dong Bacheng's intentions, and asked in surprise, Dong Bacheng was seriously ill and had been in seclusion for a long time, the only thing he couldn't rest assured about was the old brothers who had followed him for many years.

Dong Bacheng suddenly said that the person he chose was Yang Hao, Li Yufang really couldn't accept it for a while, he had been dealing with Yang Hao for as long as Dong Bacheng, and he couldn't forget Feng'an's fiasco, it is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of the existence of this strong enemy that he has his own today, but now, all of a sudden, everything has changed, this bend is too fast and steep, and he really can't turn for a while.

"Forget it, Yufang, don't pick and choose, you are my student, ordinary people don't dare to use you, even if they dare to use you, they don't dare to reuse you, this person even Liu Desan and Qu Chuji are convinced of him, Wu Chizan and Yu Chongchong can be reused, you go over there to have the opportunity to display your ambitions."

"But ......"

Li Yufang's words were only halfway said before Dong Bacheng blocked back,

"I know what you're going to say, I've decided to retreat to the mountain spring and never ask the world again."

"Students should support the teacher, the teacher is not allowed, and the student would rather apologize for his crimes."

"You...... Why are you so troubled? ”

Dong Bacheng sighed, quite helpless, no matter how he looks at this student, he is pleasing to the eye, even if he is pedantic, he can't change it, when he worshiped himself as a teacher, he swore that he would follow him for a long time, and this oath is not forgotten.

……

The north gate of Lanzhou slowly opened, Dong Bacheng rode out, with a helmet and armor, and a long knife hanging from his waist, but he didn't bring a long weapon, nor did he bring a bow and arrow, this is undoubtedly a friendly gesture, Yang Hao urged the horse to come out, and took the gift of the younger generation from afar, and the two of them looked at each other and chatted about common words,

Dong Bacheng asked: "What do you have to say when you ask the old man to come out?" ”

Yang Hao replied with a smile: "The younger generation wants to reconcile with the old general." ”

Dong Bacheng sneered: "You invaded Hedong without authorization, how can you just say that you can leave, and treat me Hedong as a place." ”

Yang Hao said: "At the beginning of the first month, Lu Qi was transferred to the governor of the left army in Hedong, and he was a close confidant of Qiu Shiliang, this is the beginning of the eunuch party's intervention in Hedong, the old general is inconvenient to interfere, and the adults who stay behind will turn a deaf ear, and if the younger generation does not pay attention to it, will it not let the land of the Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of the eunuch party." ”

Dong Bacheng said: "You think you can fight the eunuch party with your own strength." ”

"Even if you can't fight, you have to fight, I hope to wake up the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world to fight against the eunuchs, and the majestic Tang Dynasty scene is not something that can be said with just your mouth."

Dong Bacheng smiled, pointed to the camp behind Yang Hao and said, "It's been a time since there has been a shortage of food." Yang Hao nodded, smiled faintly, and did not hide it in the slightest,

Dong Bacheng persuaded in a low voice: "I advise you to withdraw early, if you continue to consume the army like this, the morale of the army will collapse, and even if you put the knife on their necks, you won't be able to stop the two legs from running out." ”

Yang Hao said: "If I retreat, will you come to chase me?" Dong Bacheng didn't answer, turned the horse's head and walked back, but hummed a country tune in his mouth,

Qu Qingquan was a little confused in his heart, and asked Yang Hao: "What does he mean by this?" ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "The old man is already planning to go back to the mountains and forests to sing." ”

……

Daoming village in the northwest of Taiyuan city one hundred and seventy miles, according to the Fenshui and built, the terrain is dangerous, for Taiyuan to Lanzhou throat one of the important places, the original garrison in the village of 300 people, Yang Hao from Lanzhou to withdraw troops, after marching into Taiyuan, Chai Shangyan urgently transferred the most elite Xinzhou battalion of the Hedong rear army to reinforcements,

The number of Xinzhou battalions exceeds 1,500 people, and the deputy general Chai Hongyue is Chai Shangyan's nephew, five days ago, Chai Shangyan promised Mu Liangfang that on the day the agreement was reached, he would promote Mu Liangfang as the governor of the left army in Hedong, and concurrently serve as the governor of Jiangzhou, as a quid pro quo, Mu Liangfang ceded the Xinzhou battalion of the rear army to Chai Shangyan, which is the only military force directly controlled by Chai Shangyan, and it is also one of the important weights for him to deal with Yang Hao.

After Chai Hongyue arrived at Daoming Village, she hoarded grain and grass, strengthened the fortifications, and shouted that Yang Hao would be blocked in the ice and snow and frozen to death.

On the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised its head,

Half of the snow outside Daoming Village has melted, but the weather is still cold and scary, Chai Hongyue just arrived at the official room, and her ass has not sat down, the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy sent a letter, Chai Hongyue opened the letter and read it, slammed the letter on the ground, and scolded: "What a big breath, I really don't know whether to live or die, where is the messenger." ”

The lieutenant replied: "After sending the letter, the person left." ”

Chai Hongyue shouted: "Then you go and tell Yang Hao, I won't give way to him, if he wants to Daoming Village, he will take it with real knives and guns, I, Chai Hongyue, have nothing else, but no one is afraid of courage." ”

The lieutenant of the Chinese military retreated, after a cup of tea, there was a great chaos outside the tent of the Chinese army, Chai Hongyue was anxious, and ran out of the tent with an axe, but saw hundreds of arrows flying in the sky, but the soldiers did not dodge, but scrambled to snatch the feather arrows that fell on the ground, the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy trotted over with a feather arrow, the feather arrow had no arrow, and a small note was tied to the arrow shaft, which wrote four sentences:

When the fire is attacked, there is nowhere to hide, and with this out of the village, you can keep safe,

Chai Hongyue crumpled the note, threw it on the ground, stepped on two feet again, brandished a battle axe and said: "Pass my order, block the gate of the village, and those who dare to go out of the village without permission will be killed." ”

The lieutenant of the Chinese military hesitated for a while, and pleaded: "All the soldiers are running away, the law is not responsible for the public, please think twice." Chai Hongyue roared, swung an axe and knocked the lieutenant to the ground, and shouted with red eyes: "Whoever dares to say more, he will end." "The supervising team was ordered to block the gate of the village, catch dozens of escaped soldiers and correct the law on the spot, and only after a bloody slash and slaughter did the chaos be suppressed.

Yang Hao climbed high to see all this, pointed to the walled gate and said: "Burn the walled gate with fire and let the soldiers out." ”

After the longbow array received the order, the rockets fired together, the four gates of the village caught fire at the same time, Chai Hongyue saw through Yang Hao's strategy, holding a steel axe to fight the fire, all the soldiers deliberately slack, Chai Hongyue was furious, jumped up and killed five or six lazy and slack soldiers in a row, everyone was driven by his obscenity and did not dare not move, after a toss saved the east, west and south three walled gates, the north gate collapsed in a loud bang, some soldiers took the opportunity to run out, Yang Hao hurriedly ordered the longbow array to give cover, one or two hundred soldiers fled in the panic,

Chai Hongyue threw away the big axe and took the bow and arrow in his hand, personally led the team to the front line, and shot at the fleeing soldiers, the soldiers were afraid of death and injury, and no one dared to escape.

Chai Hongyue stood at the burned north gate, patted her chest and shouted: "Yang Hao'er, there is a kind of hero who came out to fight with Lao Tzu against three lilies, and the secret arrow hurts people." ”
