What a general pursues in his life is victory, and it can only be victory, because this is where his value lies, if the goal is set on the concept of victory, the rest will not be taken care of, such as slaughter, such as robbery, such as treachery, such as deceit, for the sake of victory, the army can clear the wilderness, for the sake of victory, the army must be slaughtered.

A long time ago, Yun Zheng thought that wisdom could make up for these shortcomings of generals, but when he became a general himself, there were many more people who died in his hands than other generals, and even more people than Di Qing killed.

Wisdom is actually the oil on the fire of slaughter, and the wiser the person is, the easier it is for him to kill people, and the more calmly he will be at ease, because he has already expected all the consequences, and no matter how clever he is, they can even think of a remedy.

Yun Zheng is like this now, there are 50,000 people waiting for him to kill, so in order to protect the family and defend the country, the interests of the people are damaged, he can pretend not to see it, and ending the war before the autumn harvest is already the greatest mercy in his opinion.

None of the things in the world exist, there is always a ring of things, once it starts, there will always be countless possible results, which requires a person to use his own wisdom to choose the most beneficial outcome for himself.

From ancient times to the present, all wise people have chosen in this way, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even saints are not exempt from vulgarity.

So, at night when you go to bed. His hands were on Ge Qiuyan's plump chest, but he couldn't do anything else, he needed to reserve every ounce of energy to deal with the complicated situation that was coming.

Tomorrow. Xiao Huo'er's army will come, before going to sleep, Xiao Huo'er's army has reached the Biguan River, according to the scout's report, Xiao Huo'er's army camp is densely packed for five miles.

Xiao Huo'er thought much simpler, he was cleaning the battlefield step by step, and the cavalry were divided into squads to burn and loot within a radius of fifty miles. And whether it is the Liao or the Song people, they are all among his purges. The Liao State was originally a country where many forces converged. For Xiao Huo'er, as long as he is not from the Xiao clan, he is basically his enemy, so he doesn't have to think about it. He is just doing things according to the rules of ordinary generals, and there will always be a lot of trouble in cleaning the battlefield that is not cleaned.

When he came over this time, the only thing he wanted to do was to capture the partial pass and teach the proud Guo Hengchuan a lesson, let him know that his choice was the most correct, and then he could command the whole army with the power of victory.

Xiao Huo'er is no stranger to Biguan, and even very familiar with it, he himself once entered this city with an army, and he stayed in this city for three days. After enjoying the glory of the victor for three days, he was very impressed by the beautiful and simple Song woman.

It's the best thing that comes with it.

A letter of persuasion was brought to the city pass with a bow and arrow, and Xiao Huo'er proudly told the guards of the pass. After a day, the city surrendered, otherwise there would be no chickens and dogs left after the city was broken.

Lang Tan saw the letter and solemnly told Xiao Huo'er that it was okay for him to surrender, and the Great Liao Kingdom must ensure the safety of his own property and his family, if Xiao Huo'er did not agree. He'd rather fight to the death!

Xiao Huo'er looked at Lang Tan's letter and said with a smile: "This is the Song people, as long as you avoid people like Yun Zheng." The border village of the Song State is actually full of loopholes, come on, go and tell the guards, if he surrenders the city, allow him to keep his family property, and allow his whole family to avoid death, this is a promise given by Ben Shuai himself, and he will abide by it.

The order was given to rest for the night today, speed up the march tomorrow, and enter the side pass in the evening to rest. ā€

The black bone poison who followed Xiao Huo'er advised: "Dashuai, it seems that surrendering without a fight is not the style of Yun Zheng's subordinates. ā€

Xiao Huo'er said with a smile: "You don't know, Ben Shuai has already been here once, the soldiers here have no fighting spirit, the people have no heart to resist, and the Song army did not escape in advance, which is beyond the expectations of Ben Shuai." The guards are afraid of Yun Zheng's obscenity and dare not run, and they have no strength to fight with our Da Liao, surrender is his only way out. ā€

Seeing that Xiao Huo'er was complacent, the black bone poison smiled and complimented twice, preparing to search it well after entering the city pass tomorrow to make up for his losses in Shenwu City, thinking that the heart and liver of the black bone poison in Shenwu City were aching, and most of his savings for many years were left there, after the Song army broke through Shenwu City, the looting was clean, and when he returned to Shenwu City, he found that his mansion had become a ruined wall, and the Song army did not even leave him a single intact pillar.

Now that he was going to enter the city of the Song Kingdom, the black bone poison thought that this was his only chance to make up for his losses.

Tossing and turning is difficult to sleep, and finally survives until dawn, the black bone poison crawls up, and after a hurried wash, he urges Xiao Huo'er to act quickly, the army is still more than 50 miles away from the pass, and after the whole army arrives at the pass, it is estimated that it will be dark.

Two eagles are flying in the sky, flying so high, if you don't look carefully, you can only see two small black spots, from the partial pass river to the partial pass, there are constantly scouts of the Song army rushing back, although the Liao people see very clearly, but one by one pointing and pointing does not care, the Song army scouts do not hide themselves, as long as they see the Liao army, they will fly back to the city.

When the Liao army appeared on the horizon, Lang Tan took a deep breath and said: "Open the city pass, close the urn city, prepare the oil and oil, gunpowder shells, and strong crossbows, and be sure to wipe out all the Liao people entering the city in the shortest possible time." ā€

Deputy General Tan Wei took the order, Lang Tan looked at Ge Tianfang, who was about to go out of the city to meet the Liao army, and whispered: "Don't panic, be bold, be careful and don't let Xiao Huo'er see the flaws, this battle can at least make the Liao army lose more than 10,000 people, if you are lucky, Xiao Huo'er will not escape the doom, I will line up at the gate of the city to intercept the Liao army and buy you time to retreat." ā€

Ge Tianfang nodded and said: "This time, the last general is not afraid of life and death, just ask the general to take care of the last general's old mother, wife and children!" ā€

Lang Tan pressed his hands on Ge Tianfang's shoulders and said: "Don't say these unlucky words, the most important thing is to come back alive, even if I am killed in battle, and there is a big handsome, he will not treat his subordinates who died in battle." ā€

Ge Tianfang nodded, and took his headquarters out of the city, the army was untidy, the armor was messy, and the flag was dragged backwards behind the horse, and after ten miles out of the city, he dismounted and waited on the side of the road.

"General, should we kneel?" A bearded veteran looked at the Liao army running over like a mountain and a sea of mountains and said in horror, the cavalry of the brigade was galloping, even a veteran like him who was accustomed to battle formations was a little unbearable.

"Nonsense, what are we doing on our knees?"

"General, the person who surrenders should be like this, you have not surrendered to the enemy, but I have surrendered, as long as I stand, it is not surrender, this is what our former generals said."

Ge Tianfang was stunned for a moment, knelt on the ground on one leg, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, Lao Tzu has not knelt since he joined the army, when the marshal inspected the army, Lao Tzu only knocked on the breastplate, and I don't know if the Liao people in the dog day can afford it, they all kneel down, what the old robe said is reasonable, we are now a group of wrecks, not the army of the 15th Road in the west of Beijing." ā€

Xiao Huo'er listened to the advice of his subordinates and ordered Ge Tianfang to be brought over, he only raised his eyelids and glanced at Ge Tianfang, who was trembling, and returned to his carriage.

The black bone poison smiled and asked, "Where is Lang Tan, the general of the partial guard?" ā€

Ge Tianfang secretly glanced at the black bone poison and whispered: "The general greeted the army at the gate of the city, and there are always some people who are unwilling to surrender to Daliao, so the general wants to deal with it and come back." ā€

"No need, since the army has arrived, these small things will naturally be dealt with, and you will lead the way in front." The black bone poison looked up at the city in the distance, and was eager to enter the city pass immediately and start plundering.

Ge Tianfang trembled and led the way in front, but his eyes were gurgling, from the Chinese army to the front army, he already had a number in his heart, the number of the Liao army was still too much, and the urn city could not fit so many people, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

A Liao Zhongjun who followed him asked, "What are you sighing about?" ā€

Ge Tianfang hurriedly replied: "The army is really mighty, and we Song people are indeed incomparable. ā€

The Chinese army seemed to be interested in the conversation and asked: "I heard that Yun Zheng's subordinates are the first capable army of your Song Kingdom, but is this the case?" Have you ever seen one? ā€

"I've seen it, but it's still not as strong as the Great Liao army."

The Chinese army smiled proudly and said: "The troops here are all the tribal troops of my Xiao clan, and they are the first-class elite in the world, your general chooses to surrender and let you escape, otherwise, hehe, after the city is broken, all of you will not escape death."

I see that the long knife on your waist is not bad, so show me it. ā€

Ge Tianfang was stunned for a moment, looked around cautiously and said: "General, if you like this knife, I will give you an appreciation when you enter the city in a while, and now the villain has to guard the general with him." ā€

Zhongjun grinned and said, "I'll watch you." ā€

Lang Tan got off his horse, stood on the edge of the open city gate, hunched over and waited for the Liao people to enter the city, a team of Liao scouts galloped past him like the wind, and went straight to the city, Lang Tan squinted his eyes and shook his head at the subordinates standing at the head of the city, and then shouted loudly to the Liao army team that was close at hand: "Welcome to the Liao Heavenly Army into the city!" ā€

The Song army at the head of the city threw the banner of the Song army off the city wall one after another, and shouted together: "Welcome the Great Liao Heavenly Army into the city!" ā€

With a smile on his face, he turned back to his own soldiers and said: "It's up to you whether you can make up for the loss of Shenwu City, those who have money take money, those who don't have money take people, regardless of men, women and children, it is money to sell it to Central Kyoto." ā€

The soldiers responded with a bang, promising their master not to let him down. Xiao Huo'er stood on the wheel of the carriage, staring at the city, and without much effort, a group of Liao troops appeared at the head of the city and waved the golden wolf flag to the army.

Xiao Huo'er looked back at the red sun that was about to fall, and ordered: "The whole army enters the city!" (To be continued)
