Two months later, Murong Yanyun was sitting on a tiger skin chair dealing with the affairs in the cottage, when a little minion ran in in a little panic.

"Report to the master! There is a girl at the foot of the mountain, who claims to be Zhao Chanxue, who asks to see the owner of the village, saying that there is something important to tell her, and the little one doesn't know if she should let this Zhao girl go up the mountain? The little minion asked.

Murong Yanyun put down the matter in his hand, raised his head in some surprise, and said in his heart, "How could Xue'er come, she left so decisively in the Samsung Building that day, and when she came to the cottage today, I'm afraid something big happened!" ”

He thought and said, "Ask her to come up and tell your brothers not to offend her." ”

When the little minion saw that the owner of the village heard Zhao Chanxue's name, he looked so surprised, he guessed seven or eight points, and hurriedly went down the mountain to give the order. As soon as the little minion left, Murong Yanyun could still sit still, and personally greeted him at the gate of the village.

When Zhao Chanxue saw Murong Yanyun, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, but soon she snorted coldly again, "Murong Yanyun, you are so promising, let the dignified martial arts alliance master not do it, and run to this kind of ghost place to be a bandit!" ”

Murong Yanyun saw that the minions under his command were very dissatisfied with Zhao Chanxue's words, and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed, "Xue'er, although I have the heart to restore Dayan, but my power is limited at the moment, so I have to take one step at a time to plan." How are you doing these days......"

Zhao Chanxue shook her head, "Not good, very bad!" I was going to cut you off and never see each other again in this life and this life. But on the way, I heard that the Song Dynasty generals Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun led 30,000 or 40,000 horses to come here to copy the mountain, if it was someone else, I wouldn't care, but since I knew that you were here, I had to come to report the news......" When she said "you", she couldn't help but look at her belly with a smile.

When Murong Yanyun heard that Shi Shouxin had brought thirty or forty thousand people to raid the mountain, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and he didn't observe the subtle changes in Zhao Chanxue's expression. He thought to himself, "Now there are only two or three thousand people in the cottage, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is a huge disparity between the two sides, and the two battles are not their opponents at all, how should this battle be fought?" ”

Zhao Chanxue saw that Murong Yanyun was stunned, she didn't notice that her expression was different from the past, she was a little depressed in her heart, and said secretly, "No wonder they say that men are careless, Brother Murong only thinks about military affairs at this time, and he didn't even find out that I was pregnant with his child, and he didn't say that he was gentle with me, it's really annoying!" Hmph, then I won't tell him and let him stay in the dark......"

Murong Yanyun was stunned for a while, and then remembered that the two of them were still standing at the gate of the village, laughing busily, and said, "Haha, Xue'er, I was so confused, I forgot to let you enter the house to rest." ”

Zhao Chanxue nodded and followed Murong Yanyun into the cottage. Murong Yanyun arranged a room for her, said a few words, and went back to the meeting hall. Before he sat down, he ordered the minions around him to invite several other village owners over.

Murong Yanyun told a few people the news brought by Zhao Chanxue, and asked, "The imperial court sent heavy troops to raid the mountain, and the current situation is not optimistic. Brothers, do you have any good plans, speak up and listen! ”

Wan Mengsheng and the others didn't know anything about leading troops to fight, only Li Minghe said: "Lord Dazhai, although I am not talented, I have also read some military books and war strategies, and I understand the principle of 'soldiers coming to block, and water coming to Tutun'." Now, the Song Dynasty has sent an army of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and if it can mobilize the men and horses of Brother Mu Liao, or the men and horses of the Pingzhou brothers to come to help, the crisis can be solved. It's just that this is bound to alarm the Liao Kingdom and cause more trouble, so we can only rely on the people and horses in our village to fight them to the death! ”

Murong Yanyun asked, "Brother Li, how can we win now that we have so few people?" ”

Li Minghe groaned and said: "Lord Dazhai, you send people to build dozens of iron pulleys overnight, and prepare more rolling wood and stones, and be sure to guard the road up the mountain." Then send people to the mountains and forests to set up pits, tripping horses, and prepare more things to ignite fire, so as to prevent the enemy from touching the cottage from the hidden mountains and forests. Finally, send a long team of gunners to ambush in front of the cliff to the north, and if the enemy forces their way to the wall, let them have no return! ”

Murong Yanyun nodded, "What Brother Li said is reasonable, so it's up to you to assign the soldiers and horses!" ”

Li Minghe arched his hand and said, "Order!" I saw him slowly walk to the tiger skin chair, took a few arrows from the table, and looked around at the few people present, really having the demeanor of a general ordering troops.

"Murong Pingzhou takes the order!"

Murong Pingzhou didn't expect that the first military order to restore Dayan would fall into his hands, so he couldn't help but be extremely excited, and respectfully walked up to Li Minghe and responded, "Here!" ”

Li Minghe said slowly: "Murong Pingzhou, I order you to take seven hundred brothers to the southern mountain road to meet the main force of the enemy, don't let them kill the cottage." Otherwise, military justice disposes! ”

"Under the command!" Murong Pingzhou said that he took the arrow, went outside to light up the men and horses, and stationed in the south of the cottage.

Li Minghe said again: "Youfan received the order! ”

When Youfan saw that the second order was given to him, his spirit was shocked, and when he came to Li Minghe, he asked, "I don't know what Brother Li sent?" ”

Li Minghe said: "You Fanyi, I order you to bring 700 men and horses to the east to station, the enemy attacks from the east, you must not let them up!" ”

"Ordering!"

"Wan Mengsheng, you take the spearmen to the north cliff to ambush, if the enemy forces the cliff, they will definitely not return!"

"Han Yonglin, you take people to the forest to observe, if a small group of people sneak into the dense forest, you don't need to care about him, but if the number of people and horses exceeds 5,000, you will order the forest to be set on fire, so that the court lackeys will be buried in the fire!"

Wan Mengsheng and Han Yonglin also took the order to leave, and Murong Yanyun asked, "Brother Li, I don't know who guards this western route, can you get me?" ”

Li Minghe bowed slightly, "Lord Dazhai, the most critical place in this battle is to please!" ”

Murong Yanyun hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Brother Li's plan is, let's talk about it, and I can act according to the plan." ”

Li Minghe said: "Lord Dazhai, this east and south are the most likely directions for the enemy to attack, and I have sent most of the men and horses to block it, thinking that it can't be stopped, and it can also greatly consume the enemy's strength." And if the enemy army is blocked, it will be unwilling, and it will make a dangerous move and force the cliff, Wan Mengsheng and the pikemen are ambushed there, and it is difficult for them to come up. ”

"But if the enemy attacks the west, won't we be crushed?" Murong Yanyun asked.

Li Minghe smiled, "Master Dazhai, it's up to you." Take two hundred men and horses down the mountain to meet the enemy, and if you are defeated, you will not win, and you will lead them to attack the mountain from the west. And I take people to prepare the iron pulley on the mountain, as long as the master of the village leads people through the ambush circle, we will let the car beat the enemy, even if they are not completely annihilated, they will also turn over on their backs, then you and I will kill down the mountain together, you can be a great success! ”

Murong Yanyun praised: "Brother Li, you are better than Han Xin and Li Jing back then!" With you, why is it difficult for us to restore Dayan? ”

The next day, Shi Shouxin led the army to the bottom of the mountain and surrounded the Wuling Mountain. Murong Yanyun led five hundred men and horses down the mountain to meet the enemy.

Shi Shouxin asked the master of Dazhai to go out by name, Murong Yanyun had to urge the horse to the front of the two armies, and pointed at Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun with the sword in his hand: "Listen to the general opposite, when I Murong Yanyun is in the sky, I will follow the ancestral will, and I will be in line with the people's hearts, and I want to restore Dayan, if you don't want to give your life in vain, you should leave quickly, otherwise we will be blamed for being enemies of the imperial court!" ”

Shi Shouxin laughed, "Hahaha, who am I to be the king of this mountain, it turned out to be you Murong Yanyun." A defeated general, don't be arrogant here! If we hadn't hesitated for a moment in front of Murong Ren's grave that day and let you go, you would have become a dead soul under Shi's knife! If you know each other, you should quickly put down your blade and go back to Kaifeng City with us to ask for sin! ”

Murong Yanyun couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart when he heard Shi Shouxin mention the events of that day, and he slapped his horse and danced his sword to take Shi Shouxin directly. Shi Shouxin would show weakness at all, and he also raised his sword to meet him. The two fought in one place, and the swords were raised together to kill extremely fiercely.

After twenty moves, Murong Yanyun thought to herself, "Brother Li asked me to lure the enemy, I can't fight." He thought that the sword moves in his hand gradually became scattered, and the more he fought, the more he lost his order.

Shi Shouxin saw that Murong Yanyun was already a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said in his heart, "Murong Yanyun is still just a person in the rivers and lakes after all, and it is really vulnerable to make a move with a general like me!" He thought that the strength of the knife was getting stronger.

Murong Yanyun made a few more moves, deliberately missed a flaw, pretended to be invincible, and fled to the west with five hundred men and horses.

Shi Shouxin saw that Murong Yanyun was about to lead his troops to chase after him, but Han Chongyun hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Shi, don't chase after you, be careful of the evil of Murong Yanyun, a thief!" ”

"General Han, you're too careful! Have you forgotten that we were too careful in front of Murong Ren's grave that day to let this thief escape? Don't stop me, I will behead him today and present it to Your Majesty!" As he spoke, Shi Shouxin brought 10,000 horses and horses straight to the West Mountain.

Seeing that Shi Shouxin did not listen to his advice, Han Chongyun sighed and ordered: "Listen to the rest of the brothers, follow me to attack the mountains from the east and south, and we will definitely exterminate the bandits in one fell swoop, and we will not let any of them go, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!" ”

Shi Shouxin's soldiers and horses soon arrived at the western mountain road, and Murong Yanyun pretended to fight him a few more times, and then hit the horse uphill. His jujube red horse is one of the best horses in a million, fast as the wind, and the five hundred people and horses around him are also the elite of the cottage, all of them are strong, and they are much faster than ordinary soldiers. Soon disappeared into the distant mountain road.

"Give me chase!" Shi Shouxin saw that Murong Yanyun was about to flee back to the cottage, and it would be even more difficult to kill him again, so he was a little anxious in his heart, and led the team to speed up.

They searched for the slope that Murong Yanyun had just gone up the mountain, and walked up for a long time, but they had not found any trace of Murong Yanyun and the others, and he was thinking about whether to order a retreat, but suddenly heard several strange noises in the forest, as if some heavy iron was dragging on the ground. Shi Shou couldn't help but be shocked in his confidence, "It's not good! Could it be that I fell for Murong Yanyun's trick? ”

Just a moment after he hesitated, Li Minghe had already ordered the launch of more than a dozen iron pulleys. Each of these iron blocks weighs more than a thousand catties, and dozens of steel knives are densely embedded on it, and under the sun, the blade body is full of penetrating coldness, which makes people shudder.

Shi Shouxin saw Li Minghe push out the iron pulley, and hurriedly looked at the surrounding terrain, but saw that this mountain road was very steep, the road was much higher than the woods on both sides, and there were too many soldiers behind him, the gap was too dense, where could he retreat, and it was really difficult to retreat in this kind of place, so he couldn't help but secretly said, "It's me who underestimated Murong Yanyun's group of thieves, and I don't want my Shi Shouxin to die here today!" ”

At this time, Li Minghe ordered the car to be released. I could only hear the wheels of the iron block turning, making a loud "gurgling" sound, and pounced down like a fierce beast with infinite strength, rushing straight towards Shi Shouxin and the tens of thousands of horses behind him.

Shi Shouxin exclaimed, he was about to use all his life to pick up the iron pulley with a knife, but before he could do it, he saw that the wheels of the first iron pulley seemed to have a problem, and it suddenly stopped, and the cars behind also stopped one after another, occupying the mountain road full, and it was completely impossible for Li Minghe to lead the troops to kill it.

Shi Shouxin was surprised by this change, even Li Minghe never expected it, he couldn't help but say in his heart, "Could this iron block be moved by someone?" But apart from the brothers, who has the courage to do this? Could it be that there are undercover agents of the Song Dynasty among the cottagers? ”

Shi Shouxin saw that the iron block stopped, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, God help me!" Come on, you go and move all the iron carriages, this general is going up the mountain to capture the thief! The officers and soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and moved more than a dozen cars away, and Shi Shouxin saw that there was no obstacle, so he proudly urged the horse to kill Li Minghe and others.

Li Minghe was stunned by the scene in front of him, he thought that with the iron pulley, he could not only seal Shi Shouxin's way up the mountain, but even beat the Song soldiers on their backs. But now that the situation has changed abruptly, it's too late to transfer people to help! He had to rush into battle with his two hundred men.

Li Minghe's 200 people, compared with Shi Shouxin's 10,000-strong army, the difference in strength is too great, even if Li Minghe is strong in martial arts, his subordinates are all elite soldiers with one enemy and ten, but it is also useless. The two sides only fought for a moment, and Li Minghe's team was already crushed.

At this time, Murong Yanyun heard that the battle had already started under the mountain, so he thought that the plan was successful, and he hurriedly led his troops to kill it, wanting to annihilate Shi and keep his promises. But when he rushed closer, he saw that the situation was reversed, and instead of being defeated, Shi Shouxin surrounded Li Minghe and others, Li Minghe was seriously injured, and he saw that he could die in battle at any time.

Murong Yanyun had an idea, and whispered to his subordinates to get ready, and then stepped forward with a sneer and said, "Hahaha, Shi Shouxin, you are also a general of the Song Dynasty, haven't you noticed that there is something wrong with this?" ”

When Shi Shouxin heard Murong Yanyun say this, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stop and asked, "Murong Yanyun, tell me, what's wrong with this?" ”

Murong Yanyun pretended to be smug and said, "Of course it's not right, it's really wrong!" Do you think our iron block will stop casually? The reason why I sent these iron pulleys out is to make you underestimate. I am thinking about the love with you as a princess, don't say I didn't remind you, if you don't withdraw your army, everything I have prepared on the mountain is enough to make you die without a place to be buried! ”

Shi Shouxin didn't believe what Murong Yanyun said, but he could see that many frightened birds flew out of the forest behind Murong Yanyun, and there was faint smoke and dust, which was a sign of an ambush, so he had to snort coldly and lead the army down the mountain.

Li Minghe couldn't help but admire Shi Shouxin when he saw Murong Yanyun say something, and said with a fist: "The owner of the village is ambitious and brave, thank you for saving your life!" Then he said: "There must be something strange about today's events, this iron pulley is clearly manipulated!" ”

Murong Yanyun nodded, "Brother Li, now is not the time to say this, although the west side is saved, but the war between the south and the east is only afraid that it will be more intense at this time, I really don't know how many brothers can survive......

It is said that although Murong Pingzhou and Youfanyi occupied a favorable position, they were captured above, and the rolling wood and stones were fired together, and the casualties of the enemy army were innumerable. But after all, the gap in numbers between the two sides is too big, Han Chongyun led the officers and soldiers to charge several times, and the subordinates of the two were killed all over the field, and the officers and soldiers were almost killed in the village.

Han Chongyun saw that the enemy soldiers were bleeding like a river, and he was about to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop, and he was happy when he suddenly saw a white horse flying out of the village, and immediately sat a girl as beautiful as a fairy. The girl was still a few feet away from herself, so she shouted: "Han Chongyun, you stop me!" ”

Han Chongyun was about to fight with Murong Pingzhou, when he heard someone telling him to stop, he hurriedly looked at the person who came. He only glanced at it, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to stop, "Princess, why are you here!" ”

Zhao Chanxue saw that Han Chongyun ordered everyone around her to stop, and she became more and more bold, and shouted: "Han Chongyun, this princess ordered you to leave with your troops quickly, and you will never be allowed to attack Qianlong Village again." ”

Han Chongyun was puzzled: "Princess, it was His Majesty who ordered Weichen to come to suppress the bandits, and Weichen really didn't dare to leave!" ”

Zhao Chanxue sneered: "My father has already given me the sword of Shang Fang, and I have the right to act cheaply, do you dare to resist the decree?" As she spoke, she took the sword from her waist and held it high in the air, shining in the sunlight with a golden light.

When Han Chongyun saw Shang Fang's sword, he hurriedly dismounted, and respectfully saluted Zhao Chanxue, "I have seen Your Majesty, and Weichen did not dare to resist the order, so I led the troops away." After he finished speaking, he unwillingly got on the horse and led the troops out of Qianlong Village.

Although the war was over, Murong Yanyun saw that those brothers who fought together in bloody battles were now corpses all over the mountains, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow in his heart, "Alas...... In just one battle, my brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and the great cause I want to accomplish must be forged with so many innocent lives? ”

The obsession in his heart told him that life does not require that every step is right, but every step must be without regrets. For the sake of generations of Xianbei people's dream of reviving Dayan, he must not take half a step back.
