Chapter Seventy-Three: Walk Away

"Let him go!" Lin Feng walked up slowly, glanced at Liu Tianci who was sifting chaff with disdain, took out his Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor Seal from his arms, brought it to Liu Tianci, and asked coldly, "Open your dog's eyes wide, is this Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor Seal a fake?" ”

Liu Tianci quickly glanced up, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Lin Feng took out the reply letter of the Liao Emperor Yelu Ruan and the edict of the Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong from his arms, and gave them to Liu Tianci and the surrounding soldiers one by one, and roared angrily: "I am Lin Feng, the envoy of the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty by the secret decree of the Holy Lord today, not a bandit leader!" Who still has doubts? You can come up and check! ”

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, and they had actually believed the words of this group of killing gods for a long time. None of the thousands of soldiers spoke, only the crackling of torches.

"The people are the foundation of the country! Liu Yanzhen harms the people, greed is his own selfishness, but he is actually the silverfish of the country and the harm of the society! As a soldier, you can't protect the country or the people, but protecting such a thief is really damaging the reputation of my Datang soldiers! Lin Feng waved the complaint of the nearby villagers, and looked around at the Shouzhou soldiers who were encountered.

Feeling the contempt and anger in the eyes of Lin Feng and the special soldiers, many Shouzhou soldiers subconsciously lowered their heads, and Zhu Feng, who had already arrived here, also felt that his face was hot, and he moved his steps with several soldiers around him to the place where the torches could not shine.

Lin Feng turned to Liu Tianci and asked in a cold voice, "Liu Yanzhen is indeed not in this army?" ”

Liu Tianci lowered his head and said softly: "No, in Shouzhou City." ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this Liu Yanzhen really couldn't figure it out, he suddenly broke out for no reason to clean himself up, and sent troops to surround and kill him, but he was timid, what big thing can this arrogant and careless temperament do? !

"Okay, let's go to Shouzhou City to find him!" Lin Feng glanced at Lin Renzhao, and Lin Huzi immediately stabbed Liu Tianci with the tip of his knife, signaling him to lead the way.

The nearby Shouzhou soldiers immediately dodged a road and watched Lin Feng and his group escort Liu Tianci towards Shouzhou City.

Zhu Feng took the lead in leading his own soldiers to follow, and the rest of the Shouzhou soldiers whispered a few words, and also followed behind Lin Feng and them from a distance. The procession of thousands of people stretched out for a long time, and the sound of scattered footsteps mingled together, breaking the silence of the empty field.

Lin Feng turned his head, looked at these listless soldiers, sighed secretly in his heart, and asked Liu Tianci: "Didn't you Shouzhou soldiers select a five-hundred-person martial arts team?" ”

Liu Tianci looked depressed and replied: "I have chosen, I am personally trained by Minister Liu every day, and I am in the military camp in the east of Shouzhou, and I will be ready to set off during this period of time." ”

When it was near, this large group of people rushed to the south gate of Shouzhou City, and a group of soldiers were patrolling the city wall.

Lin Feng looked at the chaotic scene in the city, and smiled at the brothers: "Let's find a place to rest nearby, it is estimated that no one will come forward before dawn." ”

Lin Renzhao and the others briefly discussed, divided the shifts on duty, and went to the nearby simple inn to rest.

Thousands of soldiers suddenly became the most embarrassing group of people, no one took the lead to take the idea, neither could enter the city, nor could they disperse on their own, so they had to find a nearby shelter and snuggle up to each other.

When the people inside and outside the city were thinking about it, the sky soon became brighter, and the Shouzhou soldiers who had woken up did not see the city gate wide open, but saw a large group of dejected cavalry coming up the straight road outside the city.

Lin Feng, who heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of brothers rushed out, and when they saw this scene, Lin Renzhao laughed wildly: "This Shouzhou soldier is too vegetable, right?" Hundreds of cavalry were actually packed up by Wei San and forty of them! Lao Wei should tremble proudly now! ”

Lin Feng felt relaxed for a while, but a deep sadness rose in his heart, with a leader like Liu Yanzhen who was greedy for money and reckless, how good could this Shouzhou soldier be? And Shouzhou, but it is an important gateway to the Southern Tang Dynasty and Huainan, once the Zhou soldiers invade, how can it be good?

In real history, Liu Yanzhen left a historical joke about the battle of Zhengyang (now Zhengyangguan in the southwest of Shou County, Anhui).

Before the Battle of Zhengyang, Liu Yanzhen won the reputation of "a great wall" for the Southern Tang Dynasty because of her "good financial management" and good bribery. However, in the winter of the second year of Zhou Xiande (the thirteenth year of Baoda of the Southern Tang Dynasty, 955), Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong took advantage of the shallow drying of the Huai River, and the defense of the Southern Tang Dynasty was slack. Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, immediately ordered Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Shenwu Army, to deploy the camp in the north and lead 20,000 troops to rescue Shouzhou; In addition, with Huang Fuhui as the aid envoy and Yao Feng as the aid supervisor, he led 30,000 troops into Tun Dingyuan (southeast of Dingyuan, Anhui) to respond.

In December, Li Gu led his army to Shouzhou and attacked for half a month without taking it. On the eighth day of the first month of the third year, it was discovered that Liu Yanzhen had led the rescue army to Laiyuan Town (now southwest of Shou County, Anhui), and went up along the Huai with hundreds of warships, and there was a tendency to break the Zhengyang pontoon bridge.

At that time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong had led the army out of Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan), and on the 16th to Chenzhou (Zhiwanqiu, now Huaiyang, Henan), when he heard that Li Gu's army was retreating, it was expected that there would be pursuers, and the urgent guards commanded Li Chongjin to lead the army to Zhengyang to respond.

Liu Yanzhen and the deputy general Xian Shilang saw that Li Gu had withdrawn from the army, and they were confident that they could chase after him, and they rejected the strong dissuasion of Liu Renzhen, the envoy of the Qinghuai army, and led the army to chase after him long ago. By the time he reached Zhengyang East, Li Chongjin had already crossed the Huai River one step ahead of schedule and was waiting in front of him. Liu Yanzhen, the "genius of using soldiers" in the Southern Tang Dynasty, was suddenly intercepted, hurriedly set up a formation, and made a defensive formation that made the generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty laugh when they saw it:

Set up a position with a leather bag of iron thistle, and set up a number of rejection horses in front of the formation, connect the sharp blades, tie it with iron wire, and carve wood for the battle shape, stand in front of the formation, and call the "horse card".

However, Liu Yanzhen's bluff of feeling good about herself is an itch for Hou Zhou Xiaocai, who often plays with the cavalry of the Khitan brigade!

Seeing this formation, Li Chongjin knew that Liu Yanzhen was timid, so he ordered to beat the drum to fight, and fought together with Han Lingkun and other generals. Later, Zhou Wanqi attacked, beheaded more than 10,000 people like a tornado, chopping melons and vegetables, chasing and killing for 20 miles, beheading Liu Yanzhen, capturing thousands of people below Xianshi Lang, and seizing more than 300,000 pieces of military equipment. The remnants of the Southern Tang army were defeated in Shouzhou, Huangfu Hui heard of the defeat, and Yao Feng abandoned Dingyuan to retreat to Qingliuguan (now northwest of Chuzhou, Anhui), and the Zhou army returned to Shouzhou.

In a word, this greedy and incompetent Liu Yanzhen not only missed Shouzhou in the first battle of Zhengyangguan, but can even be said to have mistaken the entire Southern Tang Dynasty! And the deputy general named Xian Shilang is the unlucky guy who has been beheaded by Wei Sanyi, and he doesn't have to wait for five years to suffer the humiliation of being captured!

The cavalry went to the city gate, which was still closed and no one answered.

When Lin Feng saw this scene, he immediately shook his head and smiled, and ordered Lin Renzhao to let Liu Tianci go, and everyone simply cleaned up, and ate breakfast in a few roadside breakfast shops under Shouzhou City, patted his buttocks, and swaggered along the straight road to the southeast.

Zhu Feng was mixed in the stunned Shouzhou soldiers, watching Lin Feng and them go away with mixed tastes, and then looking at the closed city gate, as well as the cavalry infantry in chaos under the city, his heart was cold, at this moment, he actually had the idea of losing this military uniform and chasing after Lin Feng.

After traveling thirty miles, Lin Feng met ten brothers and thirty-one villagers including Shang Chengren and "Shang Luoluo" who had completed a special task at a fork in the road.

Since yesterday afternoon, Shang Chengren and the others, according to Lin Feng's instructions, took money and secretly arranged for all the villagers who participated in the accusation to either temporarily take refuge with relatives in other places, or pack up their bags, quietly leave the village and hide, and then make an appointment to meet Lin Feng here this morning and go to Jinling City to sue the emperor together.

Lin Feng comforted the villagers of Anfengtang who were about to leave their homeland, and led everyone to Qingliuguan. Lin Feng, who was in a good mood all the way, didn't know that Wei San, who rushed back to Jinling in advance, had already ignited a major earthquake that swept through the Southern Tang Dynasty.
