At the beginning, Li Hui was demoted to Shuozhou by the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong because he openly opposed the reopening of the imperial examination in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and pressed the test paper of the champion Liu Baoen. But not long after he arrived in Shuozhou, Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Chai family's world, and Da Liao took the opportunity to recapture Shuozhou.

Han Zhigu knew Li Hui's talent, and heard that he was squeezed out by Zhao Kuangyin, and expected that he would be dissatisfied with the Great Zhou, so in front of the first emperor Yelujing, he tried his best to ensure that Li Hui was in charge of the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Recently, the new emperor of the Great Liao, Yeluxian, had just ascended the throne and lost the land of Liaodong, and he was afraid that someone would oppose him because of this. Therefore, he sent his henchman Han Rongting as a messenger to inspect all parts of Daliao. Everywhere he went, the local officials were all slapping horses, and even offered countless gold, silver and jewelry, in order for him to say a few good words for himself in front of the emperor. Han Rongting has always been greedy for money, how could he give up such a good opportunity, naturally he did not refuse to come.

On this day, he inspected the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun under Li Hui's rule. He thought that Li Hui would definitely be in a hurry to curry favor with himself like other officials, but he didn't expect that Li Hui didn't mean to please himself at all. Han Rongting couldn't help but feel annoyed, Li Hui has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and his sleeves are clean. He tried his best to find out the problem under Li Hui, but he was invulnerable.

was struggling with nothing to do, and two people suddenly came on this day, claiming to be Li Hui's henchmen. They secretly told Han Rongting that Li Hui seemed to be loyal, but in fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Da Liao in his heart and had the intention of rebelling.

He was overjoyed when he heard this, and went to Li Hui's mansion the next day to blackmail Li Hui. He thought that Li Hui would be afraid, so he could take advantage of this to ask for benefits. Unexpectedly, Li Hui was furious when he heard this, quarreled with Han Rongting, and even pulled out the sword at his waist, wanting to fight with Han Rongting.

Han Rongting didn't know martial arts, and when he saw Li Hui draw his sword, he dared to say anything more, so he had to do it for the time being. After he returned to the capital, he slandered and framed Li Hui against Yeluxian, saying that he intended to rebel and threatened him with a sword. Ye Luxian couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and issued a holy decree to summon Li Hui back to Beijing to await trial.

When Li Hui received the holy decree, he knew that he would be framed by a traitor, and there would be more than one bad luck. So he excused himself because he was seriously ill and asked to postpone his entry to Beijing. He understands that this matter must be Han Rongting's troublemaker, and he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Daliao.

He thought to himself, "I, Li Hui, was squeezed out by Zhao Kuangyin in the Great Zhou, and was framed by Han Rongting in the Great Liao. Now the plan can only take refuge in Murong Yanyun. ”

The next day, Li Hui ordered his son Li Wei to explore the tone of the prefect of Youzhou, and seeing that he had no intention of surrendering to Yan, Li Wei immediately stabbed him to death, occupied Youzhou, and captured the prefect's Great Seal and the garrison map of the sixteen states of Yanyun. Subsequently, Li Hui asked his son Li Wei to contact Murong Yanyun and others with his own letter and the military garrison map of the sixteen states of Yanyun, preparing to cooperate with the outside and dedicate the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Such a great opportunity, how could Murong Yanyun and Yun Yimo let it go. Immediately agreed with Li Hui and his son to surrender and take over the sixteen states of Yanyun. Seeing that the matter had been done, Li Wei returned to the sixteen states of Yanyun, communicated to his father Li Hui, and prepared to cooperate with the outside world.

Murong Yanyun ordered Murong Pingzhou and Youfan to defend Liaodong, and he took Yun Yimo and others to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Yun Yimo has always been clever, and now that he has the garrison map of the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is natural that he will not have to make much effort, and he has won the fifteen states in a row, and the army is approaching Shuozhou, where Li Hui is located. Li Hui was overjoyed when he saw Murong Yanyun's army coming, and he only waited for Murong Yanyun's soldiers to come to the city, so that he could lead his troops to surrender.

The news that Murong Yanyun easily captured the sixteen states of Yanyun reached the Liao Dynasty, and Han Zhigu expected that it must be Li Hui's troublemaker. The new emperor Yeluxian immediately led Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xian to rush to Youzhou with an army of 50,000 to resist Murong Yanyun and capture Li Hui.

When they arrived at the city of Youzhou, they sent soldiers to call the door under the city. When the soldiers defending the city saw that His Majesty had arrived with two generals, they didn't know what to do, so they hurriedly reported to Li Hui. Li Hui originally intended to stalemate for a while, waiting for the arrival of Murong Yanyun's army, so as to solve his predicament.

But when it comes to fighting, how could Li Hui be the opponent of the second general Yelu, and the city was broken in a short time. Li Hui's father and son fought on their own until the last moment of their lives......

As soon as the Liao soldiers captured the city, Murong Yanyun's army arrived. Brother Yelu Hugh and Yelu Xuanzhi were calculated by Yun Yimo in Qingfeng Ridge a few days ago, and now they still have palpitations in their hearts, how can they not panic when they see Yun Yimo again?

Yeluxian had also heard of the power of Murong Yanyun and the others, and knew that if he ordered to defend the city, he would never succeed. He had no choice but to say to Murong Yanyun at the head of the city: "Murong Yanyun, don't be in a hurry to attack the city. I want to negotiate a condition with you, and if you agree, I will immediately bring my troops back to Beijing. ”

Murong Yanyun asked, "Your Majesty, what conditions do you want to propose, you might as well come and hear about it." I am also a reasonable person, and if I can accept it, I will do what His Majesty says. ”

Ye Luxian nodded and said, "You let me cede Liaodong, and then conquered my sixteen states of Yanyun, and half of the territory of Daliao has fallen into your hands, are you still not satisfied?" If this continues, more soldiers will die, and more civilians will suffer from the war. In order to stop the war, I have promised to give you Liaodong and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but I hope that you will never be free from war with Daliao! ”

Murong Yanyun hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself, "Most of the territory of the Liao Kingdom is in the north of the Saibei, if we fight further north, the climate is too cold, and it is not something we can adapt to." And I am determined to destroy the Song Dynasty, and I can't continue to consume it with the Liao State, so that the Great Song Dynasty can benefit. ”

He thought of this and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, I promise you. However, when we were at war with the Song Dynasty, we also asked Your Majesty not to do anything to benefit from the fishermen. If you agree, I will certainly be happy to agree with your majesty. Otherwise, I will have to drive straight in, please be my guest! ”

Ye Luxian nodded, "This is natural, I promised you that!" After he said that, he took Yelu Huge and Yelu Xian to withdraw the army and return to Linhuang Mansion.

Murong Yanyun easily won the sixteen states of Yanyun, thanked Li Hui for the kindness of his father and son, and ordered someone to bury the father and son.

Three days later, the news reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears. When he heard that Murong Yanyun and others had occupied the sixteen prefectures of Northern Han, Liaodong, and Yanyun, he couldn't help but feel worried. He hurriedly sent someone to find Zhao Pu, who is now the prime minister.

As soon as Zhao Pugang entered the palace, he asked, "Zeping, I don't know if you have heard that Murong Yanyun's kid has occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen has heard a little about this." Zhao Pu replied respectfully.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and asked randomly, "Then according to you, is he going to use troops against me next?" How can we resist it? ”

Zhao Pu thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, Yeluxian has a covenant with him not to fight, it seems that he is going to attack our Great Song Dynasty next." Murong Yanzhao is already considered an outstanding general of my Great Song Dynasty, but he was defeated by Yun Yimo twice in a row before, and now he refuses to fight with Murong Yanyun. Therefore, according to Weichen, those who can defeat Yun Yimo in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty may only have Weichen, and only Weichen personally leads the troops to guard the border pass, so he can have a chance of winning! ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, "Yes, Yun Yimo is indeed an amazing talent, and only Zeping can compete with him." I will order you to lead 150,000 horses to face Murong Yanyun, don't let me down. ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly stood up and gave a deep salute, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured." If Wechen can't beat Yun Yimo, Wechen is willing to accept military law! ”

Zhao Kuangyin hugged Zhao Pu and said: "Zeping, don't worry, I believe you!" With you guarding the border of my Great Song Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be solid. I await your good news! ”

Zhao Pu immediately received the order, and took Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun, and 150,000 troops to the border. At this time, Murong Yanyun was a little impatient to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, so he left Yun Yimo and others to appease Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and he took Li Minghe and Han Yonglin to the border of the Song Dynasty first.

Li Minghe took advantage of Zhao Pu's arrival to quickly capture the five cities on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and Murong Yanyun's army approached the front of Wujiao Pass. At this time, the men and horses led by Zhao Pu had also entered the Wujiao Pass, and the battle between the two sides was just around the corner.

In the early morning of the next day, Murong Yanyun, Li Minghe, and Han Yonglin led troops to attack Wujiao Pass. The armies of the two sides fought a bloody battle in front of the Wugao Pass, and Murong Yanyun personally led his troops to kill the enemy bravely, killing the Great Song army with heavy casualties. Zhao Pu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and ordered the city to be strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to fight without his own orders.

After a night's rest and yesterday's great victory, Li Ming and his soldiers were all in high spirits, and their troops were ready to capture Wujiao Pass in one fell swoop.

Li Minghe saw that there were not many soldiers in the city, and all of them were listless, but it was a battle yesterday, and the enemy army had lost their morale, and his heart relaxed a lot.

Han Yonglin smiled even more: "Haha, lord." I only have Zhao Pu stationed in this martial prison pass, and it will be impregnable. It seems that this Zhao Pu is also in vain, but in this case, he became a shrinking turtle in this battle, haha, the same as the previous five cities, but it is just like a fiction! ”

Murong Yanyun was also very relaxed, and ordered the soldiers to attack the city.

More than a dozen ladders were successfully erected on the city wall, just when the soldiers landed in the city, there was a sudden gong sound on the city, and a large number of Song soldiers emerged at the head of the city, these soldiers were holding rolling wooden stones in their hands, and in an instant these things were overwhelmingly smashed down, and many soldiers who climbed the city were hit by rocks before they could react, and their bodies were killed on the spot.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that he had used a little trick to make Murong Yanyun's soldiers suffer countless casualties. He was originally a person who loved to laugh, but now the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more brilliant, and he said to Murong Yanyun: "Hahaha, Murong Yanyun!" I will be a strong team with both wisdom and courage when you have won many battles, it seems that without Yun Yimo, you are a bunch of waste. If you listen to my advice, you might as well surrender quickly! ”

Murong Yanyun couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw that the offensive had been frustrated and many of his brothers had died, and he was even more furious when he heard Zhao Pu's words and ridicule. was about to fight back at Zhao Pu, when Han Yonglin beside him said: "Lord, Brother Li, it seems that we have already prepared for this pass, we can't attack rashly, if we continue to attack like this, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties." It's better for the three of us to use light skills to climb the city, kill Zhao Pu, and open the gate! He said that he drew his tiger's head sword, and he was about to go to the city.

Murong Yanyun couldn't help but think of the incident when he and his cousin You Fanyi attacked Taihe City, and immediately agreed with what Han Yonglin said, "Brother Han, what you said is very true, leave Brother Li to lead troops under the city to respond, and we will kill the city together!" ”

Li Minghe hurriedly said: "Lord, you are not as good as in the past, in the past, you had one person and one sword, and you had nothing to worry about, and you could leave life and death behind for the sake of righteousness." But now that you have such a great foundation and so many brothers, what should we do if you have three longs and two shorts? Listen to me, you must not go to the city, in case you fall for Zhao Pu's tricks! ”

Murong Yanyun shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Brother Li. Although what you say is reasonable, but if we attack like this, it will only cost us men and horses, which is really not a good strategy! ”

Li Minghe thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lord, I have a clever plan!" He ordered the besiegers to withdraw.

Then he ordered the soldiers, each with a cloth belt, to dig behind the battalion. Soon, everyone's cloth belts were filled with sand, and this was repeated several times, and the sacks filled with sand in the camp were piled up into a hill.

That night, Li Ming and his soldiers took advantage of the night to quietly stack cloth bags under the gate, and prepared many rockets, just waiting for the next day to attack the city and win the battle.

At this time, Zhao Pu was thinking about retreating from the enemy during the day in the mansion, knowing that Murong Yanyun would not be reconciled, and would definitely come to attack the city again, thinking about how to defend the enemy army next, at this time, a henchman soldier walked in and gave Zhao Pu a deep salute, "Report to the prime minister, the enemy army is piling up a large number of cloth bags under the city, I don't know what it means, please make a decision!" ”

Zhao Puyi frowned, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, so he had to go to the city to watch it in person. When he saw that the enemy army was secretly carrying sandbags and placing them a stone's throw away from the city, he instantly understood the intention, and couldn't help but smile, "Hahaha, Li Minghe!" Prime Minister Ben thought that if you followed Yun Yimo these days, you would definitely grow a little, but I didn't expect to be even more stupid than when I was in Xuchang before! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Shouxin finished escorting the grain and grass and joined Zhao Pu. At this time, he also heard about the enemy's carrying sandbags, and was very curious, so he also went to the city. He said respectfully to Zhao Pu: "Prime Minister, I don't know what trick Murong Yanyun is playing with us, and I ask the Prime Minister to solve my doubts." ”

"General Shi, the city wall we are guarding is too high, and if we shoot directly with arrows, we will definitely not be able to reach it. Therefore, the enemy army piled sandbags in front of the pass in order to facilitate the enemy army under the city to shoot arrows to attack the city, and at the same time to cover the rushing cars under the city and attack our gate. Zhao Pu explained slowly.

"I see!" Shi Shouxin suddenly realized when he heard this, "Prime Minister, the enemy's move is really powerful, how should we guard against it?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled calmly, "General Shi, don't panic, the enemy's military region is just a small plan, and we can't help it." He immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare a lot of bronze shields to stand at the head of the city, and brought a large number of rolling logs and stones, just waiting for the battle tomorrow.

The next day, Li Minghe really asked the archers to stand on sandbags and shoot at the soldiers at the head of the city with strong bows and crossbows. But before the arrows reached the city, some soldiers had already raised their bronze shields to block the rain of arrows like flying locusts. At the same time, another group of soldiers, under the cover of the bronze shield, desperately threw rolling wood stones downward.

In an instant, Murong Yanyun's soldiers suffered countless casualties.

"Brother Li, your strategy was actually seen through by Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu really deserves to be the number one strategist under Zhao Kuangyin, it is really powerful!" Murong Yanyun couldn't help but sigh heartily when he saw that Zhao Pu had easily resolved Li Minghe's strategy. He immediately ordered his soldiers to go to Liaodong to transfer Murong Pingzhou to bring troops to help.

Li Minghe also sighed, he looked at the water not far from here, and said: "Lord, in my opinion, we only have to lead the water and flood the Wujiao Pass now, which is the best policy!" ”

Murong Yanyun shook his head and said, "Brother Li, although there are many enemy troops in this martial prison, after all, there are also people, if the city is flooded, won't it harm the innocent people?" On that day, I hated the Song army for killing innocents at the foot of the mountain, how could I do this evil act myself? ”

Li Minghe persuaded: "Lord, there is no reason for the two armies to fight against immortals, although this move sacrificed a small number of people, but because of this, more people were rescued, can this be regarded as an evil act?" Lord, don't hesitate, now only this trick can break the martial prison pass! ”

Murong Yanyun pondered for a long time, "Brother Li, this is the only way to go. But you remember, whether we are chivalrous or righteous, or stop war with war, after all, we must serve the country and the people, so as not to lose the original intention of chivalry. ”

Li Minghe nodded and said: "What the lord said is that from now on, I will cherish the people more, do more good deeds, and regard the safety of the people as more precious than my own life." ”

Murong Yanyun glanced at him appreciatively and acquiesced to Li Minghe's plan. Li Minghe immediately arranged for his soldiers to move the camp to the high ground. And start work day and night, digging up the embankment and flooding the Wugao Pass.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he saw Murong Yanyun's soldiers, who wanted to dig the water embankment day and night. He knew that if the water burst the embankment, the Wujiao Pass where he was located would become a desperate situation.

On this day, Li Minghe and Murong Yanyun were discussing the specific plan for flooding the Wujiao Pass, and the general Murong Pingzhou arrived in the camp with an army of 50,000. As soon as they said a few words, Han Yonglin also came in and said: "Lord, I thought that although flooding Wujiao Pass was a plan to attack the city, it was inevitable that there would be too many dead, and I really couldn't bear it. In my opinion, we have a lot of strong soldiers, and if we want to dig a tunnel, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Martial Prison Pass. I am willing to lead the troops into the city, and after I succeed, I will light the fire as a number, and the main kilometer should be combined with the outside, and I will take the Wujiao Pass in one fell swoop! ”

Li Minghe hesitated, "Brother Han, what you said is not a bad method, but it is a little too risky, if you fail, not only will you lose your troops, but even you may not be able to come back." In my opinion, it's better not to do it than to take risks. ”

Murong Yanyun said: "Brother Li, the art of war says that the real side is the best policy. We dug the embankment in the open, and the enemy must have focused on waterproofing, where could we have thought that we would have such a trick in the dark? ”

Murong Pingzhou also said: "What the lord said is extremely true, and I also think this plan is very good!" ”

Li Minghe saw that both of them were on Han Yonglin's side, and said helplessly: "Since the lord decided to do so, I don't want to say more." It's just that Brother Han must be careful, don't get trapped in the city. ”

"Brother Li, don't worry. If my brother didn't have this ability, how could he dare to propose this method? Han Yonglin said confidently.

Murong Pingzhou said: "Brother Han, it's better for your brother to go with you, so you can take care of it." ”

Han Yonglin shook his head and said, "Brother Pingzhou, it's enough for my brother to go alone, how can I let my brother accompany me on an adventure?" ”

Murong Pingzhou said resolutely: "Brother Han, the ancients 'sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman', you saved your brother's life, no matter what, I can't let my brother risk alone!" ”

Han Yonglin was helpless, "Okay, since you are brothers, you will definitely go together, and I won't stop you." ”

On the same day, hundreds of soldiers began to secretly dig tunnels in the camp. Half a month later, the tunnel was dug through, and at the middle of the night, Han Yonglin and Murong Pingzhou secretly went down the tunnel with a thousand soldiers. Murong Yanyun and Li Minghe looked at the backs of the two of them, and couldn't help but sweat for him.

As soon as the two of them led the troops, it was an hour. During this hour, Han Yonglin didn't send any news, let alone see the fire in the city. This tunnel is like the mouth of a wild beast, and as soon as a man enters, he enters the sea like a mud ox, and is never heard from again.

Murong Yanyun waited for two hours, and couldn't help but worry about Han Yonglin. He was about to go down to the tunnel to check and pick up Han Yonglin, when at this moment, the two of them escaped with hundreds of remnants, and they were all seriously injured and extremely embarrassed.

"My lord! Subordinates are incompetent! Please deal with it by military law! Han Yonglin knelt down when he saw Murong Yanyun and said with a face full of shame.

Murong Pingzhou, who had always been arrogant, also lowered his head at this time and said, "Lord, Zhao Pu has already been prepared, as soon as we came out of the tunnel, we were surrounded by enemy ambushes. We fought with them for a long time, but we were outnumbered, and we returned defeated, and I really had no shame to face the lord......"

Murong Yanyun hurriedly picked up Han Yonglin, "Brother Han, Brother Pingzhou, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't take it to heart." It seems that only the trick of flooding the martial arts prison is feasible, and tomorrow you will atone for your sins. ”

Li Minghe's heart was shocked, and he said in his heart, "Our army is digging embankments day and night, it is clear that it is to flood the city with water, and digging tunnels is General Han's temporary idea, and it has been carried out in secret, is Zhao Pu a god, Brother Han has just come out of the tunnel, how can he meet Zhao Pu's people, I'm afraid it won't be so simple!" Seeing that both of them were seriously injured and stained their robes with blood, the doubts in their hearts dissipated in an instant.

On the second day, the embankment had been dug up, and the surging river poured straight into Wugao Pass. Murong Yanyun thought that at this time, there must have been instant water accumulation in the Wujiao Pass, flooding a lot of grain, grass and warehouses, and countless soldiers were drowned alive by the flood, and the city was in a mess.

Murong Yanyun was a little proud and ordered the soldiers to attack the city. But when his army arrived at the city, they found that the garrison at the head of the city did not panic as they imagined, but were on guard as usual, as if nothing had happened, and it was the same as usual.

Li Minghe was also stunned, thinking in his heart, how could he escape easily with such a big flood, could it be that his plan was broken by Zhao Pu again, how could he break it so easily?

At this time, Zhao Pu at the head of the city looked at Murong Yanyun with a smile, "Hahaha, Murong Yanyun!" Your soldiers have really helped me a lot, and if you hadn't dug the tunnels, the water in this city would have been unclean for a while! ”

The doubts in Murong Yanyun and Li Minghe's hearts instantly became clear. Murong Yanyun looked at Han Yonglin and said with annoyance: "Brother Han, why didn't I expect Zhao Pu to have this trick, we really underestimated Zhao Pu!" ”

When Murong Pingzhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and looked at Murong Yanyun apologetically.

Han Yonglin even pulled out the tiger's head knife and placed it between his necks, "My lord, Brother Li, I didn't think about it well, and your plan failed, I will apologize with death today!" He was about to kill himself as he spoke.

Murong Yanyun hurriedly said, "Brother Han, put down the knife quickly!" As he spoke, he picked up the remnant yang finger and pointed it at Han Yonglin's wrist with a volley. Han Yonglin's wrist hurt, and the tiger head knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Lord ......"

"Alas, Brother Han, you don't have to say more, you can't be blamed for this, if you want to blame, blame me for being incompetent!" Murong Yanyun said, looking at Li Minghe, "Brother Li, Zhao Puzhi's ability is rare in the world, let's invite Brother Yun to come and make a plan again." ”

Li Minghe bowed slightly, knowing that his talent was too different from Yun Yimo, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Murong Yanyun ordered the whole army to return to the camp and wait for Yun Yimo to bring reinforcements to help.

Zhao Pu at the head of the city saw Murong Yanyun returning again in vain, and he was extremely proud in his heart, he looked at the back of the army in the distance, and smiled very brightly......
