33. Go to war

On the second day, Clare received Lu Meng's invitation early in the morning, saying that the gentry in the city held him as the first banquet to entertain Leng Indifferent Ke, in order to see off the righteousness, Clare and Indifferent Ke went together, Lu Meng led the city gentry and nobles more than 100 people to greet in front of the door, seeing the two of them coming, the drums and music were singing, beaming, the two of them led about 100 soldiers, and Lu Meng arranged to eat in the side hall,

During the banquet, the staggered bargains, the joy was harmonious, the wine had passed three rounds, Lu Meng got up to go to the toilet, sipped wine to salute Krare, pretended to speak, and when he was not prepared, he suddenly splashed the wine on Krare's face, his left hand grabbed his neck, and his right hand pulled out a sharp knife to look at him and stabbed him several times in the chest and abdomen, and suddenly blood gushed out, at the same time, Lu Meng was wearing armor and led hundreds of armorers to kill from the inner hall,

Seeing that the situation was not good, Indifferent Ke kicked down the table, turned around and ran to the side courtyard, shouting to the attendants as he walked, Lu Mengbu took Li Keda with a bow in his hand and shot an arrow in the neck of Indifferent Ke, breaking his spine, Lu Meng rushed up and cut his head with a knife, raised his head and shouted: "Clare colluded with the Jiankun people to slaughter all the families, today the murderer has been awarded, you all go back to your own homes, guard the door, and you are not allowed to go out without my order." ”

At the same time as the banquet started, Lu Meng's three sons Lu Cheng, Lu Xin, and Lu Tong each led a group of soldiers to move, and Lu Cheng attacked the camp of Indifferent Ke and slaughtered his subordinates; Lu Xin entered the Clare mansion, beheaded his mother and wife, killed four daughters and two sons, and accepted his concubines, Lu Tong took the east gate directly, and the guard should be outside the outside, seize the city gate, and cut the Kun guard general South Moto, general, Age has decided to withdraw the army, indifferent Ke has withdrawn the main force of the general outside the city, only the east gate of the four gates still has a garrison, and the remaining three gates have been returned to Dashicheng,

At noon, Ah Ge heard of the riots in the city, and thought that it was the indifference Ke who was too urgent to cause a civil uprising, and actually sent a golden gourd to the city to proclaim that the indifferent Ke was more restrained, and when he learned that the indifferent Ke and Clare were both murdered, the governor Lu Meng and Yin Yi Si joined forces to slaughter the indifferent Ke department and control the four gates, Ah Ge woke up like a dream, gritted his teeth for a while, and ordered the army to attack the city,

Al-Malaham advised him: "The city of Great Stone is high and deep, and we have no ladder to attack the city, so who can climb it by hand." ”

Ah Ge said hatefully: "So what, is my brother's blood shed in vain, I vow to set foot in the Great Stone City." ”

Ai Malaham said: "I heard that the eagle who is good at hunting has a far-sighted vision, a mind like the sea, and will not be lost by a moment of hatred, and now they have no water and no food in the city, they will not survive this winter, as long as the khan has a little patience, when the grass is not green, they will obediently open the door and surrender, then the khan does not have to do it himself, naturally someone will tie up the culprit to contribute." ”

Hearing this, Ah Re was overjoyed and said with a smile: "You have only half of all the wise elders in the world, and we will follow your wise prophecy and wait for its city to be breached." ”

Suidun soldiers under the city, to defend as an attack,

Because of the heavy snowfall, the people in the city boiled snow for water, and temporarily relieved their thirst, but because the food was extorted by Clarre's gang and Indifferent Ke, many families fell into starvation, Lu Meng distributed the remaining military rations equally, and on the other hand, he hurried to the Uighurs for help, but he was different from Clarge, he had nothing to do with the Uighurs, and the letter for help sank like a stone into the sea, never to return.

As a last resort, he turned his gaze to the south, intending to ask the Shatuo people for help.

Yin Yi sipped at this moment and persuaded: "The Shatuo people are far away in the west of the river, thousands of miles away, and now it is snowing heavily, how can they go to help, instead of begging Shatuo, it is better to ask for help in Galgudu." ”

Lu Meng said: "He was my enemy not long ago, and it is a great luck not to fall into the well, how can he be rescued." ”

Yin Yi sobbed: "The Khitan people are here, for money, now in the camp of the Jiankun people, if he comes, he will only fight with the Jiankun people, how can he want this empty city, and when his two families are killed, the disaster of the siege can be solved, even if the Khitan people can't go away, his power has been lost, and he is the opponent of the Dadu Governor." ”

Lu Mengxi said: "What he said is extremely true, but who can persuade him to come, I met with his sword soldiers, how many people died, how to meet." ”

Yin Yi sobbed: "Don't bother the governor, if you want to go out of the city for help, just ask the governor for a letter." ”

Lu Meng was overjoyed, so he handed a handwritten letter to Yin Yi and asked, "When can I go back?" ”

Yin Yi sobbed: "We will see in ten days." ”

Ah Re was in the camp dreaming of offering prisoners in the city, suddenly one day, tens of thousands of troops fell from the sky, through the night burst into his camp, a moment of fire, the sound of killing shook the wilderness, Ah Ge put on armor, killed several singers in the camp, and fought and retreated, the melee all night, until dawn, only to find out that it was the Khitan Wukui people who attacked him,

Ah Ge laughed angrily and said, "I came to clean you up, but you sent it to the door yourself." So he set up camp thirty miles away from Dashicheng, gathered his troops, and prepared for a counterattack, Yang Hao was willing to give him a chance, and the front battalion, the right battalion, the middle army battalion, and the feather shooting battalion were all pressed on the whole line, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and they were killed like a mountain and a sea.

Ah Re couldn't stand his ground, so he had to continue to retreat westward, Liu Pan and Da Zhi Er chased and killed for a day, killed more than 10,000 people, and was waiting to take a rest, I didn't want Yang Hao to give an order to the two to take advantage of the victory to pursue, not to delay, the two had no choice but to leave the old, weak, sick and disabled, each rate light horse, treading snow tracking, Ah Ge's camp has been chaotic, the soldiers do not know the generals, there will be no relatives, they can't fight back, they can only run,

Da Zhi Er and Liu Pan chased for another day and a night, seeing that the subordinates around them were getting fewer and fewer, and they were almost lonely, so they stopped, bluffing to scare Ah Ge and not dare to turn back, while retreating rapidly, collecting the remnants all the way, and when they returned to the outside of Dashi City, they found that the two battalions had lost more than half of them, and they had almost become remnants.

Liu Pan panted and said: "These savages are really amazing, if they didn't beat him up and face to face, they would really not be his opponents." ”

Yang Hao said: "So, I want you to keep chasing, only when he is dizzy and dizzy, he will not distinguish between your reality and fiction, otherwise it will not be cheap Lu Meng's house for nothing." ”

Dazhi asked with trepidation: "Then Ah Ge really doesn't dare to come back." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "He has no chance to come back if he wants to, there is a wolf squatting behind him, does he still have the heart to come back." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Yang Hao said: "Ah Re crossed the Uighur court to attack Dashicheng, which has already aroused the vigilance of the Uighurs, and this time there are no less than 100,000 Heavenly Wolf Army staring at them. ”

Liu Pan said with a smile: "Whoever makes his heart less than swallow the elephant deserves." ”

Yang Hao said to Lu Meng's second son, Lu Xin: "Please go back and tell the governor that I want to send the wounded soldiers to the city to be raised, and the food and grass needed will be raised by our department, and the city only needs to provide houses." ”

Lu Xin said: "The Jiankun people used trickery to squeeze the grain in the city, and now the people have no overnight food, and the grain depot in the city is empty. ”

Liu Pan said angrily: "Bastard, this grain is what we desperately took from the hands of the Jiankun people, you want it, buy it with money, allocate grain for disaster relief, that is your government's business, what do we have to do." ”

Lu Xin was bluffed by him and was speechless,

Zhang Bozhong said with a smile: "We buy and sell fairly, let's sell it to you at the market price, but buying and selling is buying and selling, please raise the benefits you promised us as soon as possible, and when the spring flowers bloom, we can also go back to our hometown." ”

Yang Hao said: "In order to repay you for taking in my wounded soldiers, our department will provide water to the city free of charge from now on." ”

Lu Xinnuo retreated, and the big branch asked Yang Hao: "Now that the city is empty, why doesn't the great commander take the opportunity to take the city, I think the Lu family father and son have no intention of returning to obedience, and sooner or later there will be changes,"

Yang Hao looked at the mountains of granaries in the camp and said, "Don't worry, it's not too late to enter the city when these mountains are sold." ”

Bo Lai cleverly shouted: "A good plan, so that you can not only benefit the people, but also win the hearts of the people, is really an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Liu Pan glared at him and shouted: "Monkey, you have seen through all these clever schemes, don't turn around and show off." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, hating Bo Lai's eyes and helpless,

……

For several days he was so depressed that he didn't want to say a word, and everyone thought he was sick and came to comfort him in unison, and he angrily scolded: "Only the weak need the comfort of others, do you think I am a weak." ”

He thinks he is strong, but he still can't get out of the shadow of failure from time to time, he repeatedly thinks about every detail of his failure, and gradually he figured it out, he found that his defeat to the Khitans was completely accidental, completely because he was too careless, what are those Khitans, in terms of bravery, they don't even deserve to lift their shoes, in terms of tactics, they will not only sneak attack, in addition to stalking, fishing in troubled waters, what else, they are not their opponents at all, in terms of vision they are simply stupid and stupid, Wouldn't it be to seek death to wage war against my great Khan of Ginkkun for the sake of an empty city?

Ah Ge's mood gradually became clearer, he began to eat meat and drink milk, freshen up and dress up, and swept away the previous decadence,

He began to give several exuberant speeches to his admirers:

"They are dressed in tatters, they are as cowardly as beggars, they only dare to hide in the dark and plot against others, do they dare to have a real duel with our warriors."

All the generals shouted in unison: Don't dare,

"Oh my God, they are so despicable, can we just admit defeat to them, noble ones?"

All the generals shouted: No,

Age's face was filled with the wondrous brilliance of a conqueror, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Sons, pack up your bows and arrows, sharpen your scimitars, and punish the vile Khitans." ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and at this time, the decadent color on Ah Ge's face was swept away, and he turned back into a proud yellow eagle, soaring in the sky, looking down on all things,

But the wise Aimaham advised: "The wise hunter never looks ahead when he hunts, and occasionally he turns back and looks at the trees around him, and perhaps there is a danger lurking there." ”

Turning around in alarm, and looking around, he suddenly became angry, and he pointed to the Uighur court, and said word by word to the Uighur envoy:

"Send my word to the Khan: When your luck is exhausted, I will collect the gold horde, gallop my horse in front of the tar, plant my flag, you can resist, and if you can't, you should hurry."
