Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Now that the time has passed, Wangfu, who was standing behind the prince, felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he opened his mouth unconsciously, realizing that a yawn was about to blurt out, Wangfu hurriedly covered his mouth and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva to turn it invisible. In the past, everyone thought that it was a very face-saving thing to be able to serve the prince every inch, but after only two months of being the prince's personal bodyguard, Wangfu no longer envied the general manager of Xida, and Laifu recently heard him say the most, "Xiye is not easy!" ”

"Damn, if you want to say that Li Liangfu is really stupid, he has 30,000 troops and is forced to be helpless!" Wangfu found that the prince who had been lying motionless on a few days and looked at the map for half an hour finally moved, and burst into a foul language, but he still didn't dare to move, because only the people around him knew that the performance of the prince of the Dao Dao showed that he was in a demon!

As the prince grew older, the problems also followed, and now when he locks himself in the house, he has to think about big things, at this time, as long as he prepares tea, candles, and a few plates of snacks. Whether the prince is farting and burping in the house, talking to himself and scolding the street, or going around in circles, you don't have to care about him, just lower your eyebrows and be a wooden man on the side.

If you want to eat and drink, he will take it himself, just remember not to disturb him by talking, otherwise you will bear the consequences! What punishment depends on the mood of the prince, you may suffer a few brain breakdowns, maybe you will be punished to go to the kitchen to make bowls of noodles, grill a few pieces of meat, at most it is time to be fined money to improve the life of the internal guard, it is said that Xi Ye was once forced to pay three hundred yuan, just because it was the Buddha Bathing Festival, he wanted to reward the monks who were on the fate. Wangfu has only been on the job for three months, and no less than ten big bags have been popped out of his head by the prince. The waist bag is also deflating day by day...

"What should I do with this kid? If you don't hit him, you will definitely make trouble in the back; Hit him. But he doesn't have much oil and water on his body, so to fight or not? Zhao Ta turned around, sat down again, looked at the map, and was stunned.

Zhao Ta originally wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. Give this half residue of Yelu Xianye to Li Liangfu to solve, so that he can eliminate his own troubles, and he can also lead the water to the west, so that Ah Gu can go to find the trouble of Western Xia, and completely drag the Western Xia, who only wants limited participation, into the water, and save them half-heartedly. But the problem is not that Li Liangfu doesn't want to drill in, but that this guy's ability is limited, and after fighting for so long, not only did he fail to destroy Yelu Xianye, but he was also facing the danger of being surrounded and annihilated!

"Damn. Our Da Song food is for them to eat for free, and if we don't get it right, we have to let people make dumplings to eat! After a moment of silence, Wangfu heard the nagging sound of the prince talking to himself, his head was a little wooden, it turned out that the prince not only helped the Khitan people fight the Jurchens, but the party members also had something to do with the prince!

"Wanyan Hanlu led the troops back from Yunnei, which shows that Aguta's personal expedition is imminent, and there is not much time left for us, but which way will he go?" Zhao drew a circle on the map with charcoal. From Shangjing to Xijing, there are two roads to choose from, one is to pass through Zhongjing and then turn to the southwest; The second is to come directly to the south.

"It must be killed directly!" Looking at the prince silently, Wangfu couldn't help it. The heart said that you got it, and I will go to bed quickly.

"Why?" Zhao Ta asked casually as if he had heard a voice from outside the sky.

"Boss, the Jurchens are sending elite soldiers here. Isn't the main goal for the Emperor of Liao? If you catch him, you can say that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, and there is a greater glory in the world than to capture the king of a country with your own hands! Aguta is the emperor and a human being. There is no one who does not want to be famous, especially if an emperor can catch the emperor of another country. Will there be anyone in the world who doesn't know him! Wangfu was heartbroken and gave out his thoughts.

"Hmm!"

"Boss, how much do you have to be fined?" Wangfu only heard the prince hum, and then looked at himself fixedly, he was at a loss in his heart, and couldn't help but say weakly, "Why don't you kick the little two feet?" ”

"I'll punish you for what you do, you're right, he will definitely go straight to Xijing!" Zhao Ta looked at Wangfu with a yin and yang face and said, it seems that he has really drilled the tip of the horns, people live for the word fame and fortune in this life, Ah Guda is already the king of a country, and he has nothing to do with most of the Liao Kingdom, and profit is not as important to him as his name, and now Yelu Yanxi is active near Yinshan, and it will become a thing of the past to catch him Liao, and all kinds of resistance will collapse, and it is only a matter of time before Xijing is taken.

"Boss, really don't punish me this time?" Wangfu asked cautiously with some disbelieving.

"Not only will I not be punished, but I will reward you, what do you want?" Zhao Ta patted Wangfu's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I... I just want to go to bed early. Wangfu said pitifully.

"Oh?!" Zhao Ta was stunned for a moment when he heard this, only to realize that it was already the second half of the night, and he stayed up late every day, and these guards were not at peace!

Although Wangfu did not ask for any reward, but the next day he slept until three poles in the morning, in order not to disturb him, the prince ordered the guards not to blow the assembly trumpet in the morning, and what made him even more pleased was that he got a coveted revolver.

This gun is specially made by the prince to the workshop, it is much more delicate and compact than the standard gun they are equipped with, the body of the gun can be gilded to prevent rust, the grip is still ivory, engraved with exquisite patterns, it is said that this kind of gun has only made five, only the old commander Zhao Xin once had one, he is the second to have this kind of gun!

……

Entering June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the city of Dongshengzhou has been besieged by the Xia army for more than a month, and they have been repelled by the Jin army several times, and now they are retreating ten miles back to camp on the Yellow River. Li Liangfu, the chief general of the Xia army, was very aggrieved, he was ordered by the emperor to aid Liao, and just arrived in Dongsheng and met the defeated Wanyan Xianye Division, but looking at the Jin army in front of him, who lost his armor and was embarrassed, Li Liangfu was taken aback, he was worried that it was the Jurchens who did not dare to step forward, and watched the Jin army enter Dongshengzhou City.

By the time Li Liangfu learned that the Jin army in Dongshengzhou had just been defeated by the Texas army, it was already over, and the Jin army was ready to defend the city. In fact, Li Liangfu's caution is also understandable, he once led 5,000 elite troops to aid Liao last year, but was killed, the strong combat effectiveness of the Jurchens made him palpitate, and he had to be careful, but he missed the fighter.

Li Liangfu's mission was to help the rebellious Khitans fight against the Jin army and welcome Yelu Yanxi back to Beijing. But at this time, it was difficult to achieve, one is that Yelu Yanxi does not know what to do, this kid is hiding in Tibet, and no one can find him, and the other reason is that the main force of the Jin army to help was defeated by the Texas army and hid in Dongshengzhou. Thinking that the danger in Xijing had been resolved, Li Liangfu stayed in Dongsheng and sent people to search for Yelu Yanxi, while sweeping the surrounding counties of Dongsheng Prefecture in an attempt to recover Dongsheng Prefecture.

But after such a long time, the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi was not found, and Dongshengzhou was not recovered, and several sieges were lost soldiers, and now nothing has been gained, Li Liangfu can only report to Xingqing Mansion and let them decide whether to return or stay, and at this time the alarm bell in the camp is ringing, and there are scouts to report that the Jin army is coming. Li Liangfu hurriedly mobilized a large army out of the camp to meet the battle, but he found that it was not the Jin army from Dongshengzhou that came, but the banner of another army, and the men and horses were less than 10,000 horsemen.

After the arrival of the Jin army on the opposite side, they were immediately divided into two teams, and took turns to attack the Xia army's large array with a double stacking formation, and the Xia army was three times the number of the enemy, how could it be easily shaken. Li Liangfu attacked the Jin army with crossbow shooting, and after repelling several enemy attacks, he relied on his strong strength to order the iron cavalry to attack from both flanks, trying to encircle the Jin army in the assault formation, and then crush the Chinese army to gather and annihilate the Jin army. And the Jin army immediately discovered the Xia army's attempt, immediately retreated, and harassed the enemy in the rear, and fought and retreated, without any chaos...

In fact, the Jin army on the opposite side also has a background, he is the Jurchen general Wanyan Hanlu, in the early days of Wu Yashu's appointment as the Liaodong Jiedu envoy, he helped to lead the attack on the Han State Department and pull out its city. The descendants of the competition commanded the army for only a few months, and built nine cities to confront the nine cities of Goryeo. After Gao Yongchang became self-reliant, he was ordered to lead the Zhu army to suppress the way, and easily broke the 60,000 Liao soldiers Yu Yifa and captured Shenzhou. After the suppression of Gao Yongchang, he was named the capital of the South Road, and he was extremely strong.

Wanyan Hanlu followed Wanyan Xianye to hunt down Yelu Yanxi last year and captured Xijing, and when he learned that Xijing had rebelled, he was ordered to stay in the Yunnei area to continue to search for the Liao Emperor. A few days ago, he suddenly received an urgent order from Tokyo, ordering him to quickly go to the aid of the defeated troops in Dezhou, and the Xia army was trapped in the Yelu Xianye Department in Dongsheng, and he would attack Xijing after the emperor arrived.

The two armies advanced and retreated for thirty miles, both sides were from nomadic backgrounds, and their tactics were similar. The two sides fought from sunrise in the morning to the end of the day, only the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, the corpses were everywhere, it was still difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat, but the men and horses were tired. Suddenly, Li Liangfu found that the dust and smoke on the right flank suddenly rose and rushed towards the battlefield, and he immediately realized that it was the cavalry of the brigade that killed him, and he didn't need to ask whether it was friend or foe!

Seeing this, Li Liangfu immediately divided an army and prepared to meet the enemy, but at this time, the two sides were entangled, which was so easy in a short time, and the enemy's reinforcements arrived in an instant, and three thousand Tiefutu crashed into the right flank of the Xia army's large array. The Xia army, which responded to the battle in a hurry, was simply unable to resist this group of 'iron lumps', and the right flank was instantly broken and collapsed towards the Chinese army. And the Jin army on the front immediately pressed all on it and launched a general attack.

Under the two flanking attacks, it was difficult for the Xia army to maintain the defeat to the south, and they were ready to defend it with a large camp, and the Jin army pursued closely and then covered the kill. The defeated army had no human rights, and the cavalry of the Jin army galloped back and forth to divide the Xia army into small teams, making it difficult for them to take care of each other, and in the chaos, the Xia army was killing each other, but broke down their own camp, lost the most rearmost stronghold, and could only continue to flee south!

"It's over, it's over!" Li Liangfu looked up to the sky and sighed, and then there was the Yellow River, and there was no boat or bridge to cross the river, wouldn't it all have to be fed to Wang Ba. But he soon found that the opportunity to feed Wang Ba may not be there, and a large group of cavalry appeared in front of him... (To be continued.) )
