Since Lao Cao sent troops across the sea, he has been invincible all the way, but he doesn't know that the situation in Hebei is getting worse.

Previously, the Liao State soldiers invaded the territory, undeclared war, even Xiaxiong, Qing Erzhou, fortunately there are "old merry" Wang Huan, "Kaishan Tiger" Zhang Kai two major festival envoys, in Yuan Lang, Mu Hongzhong will help to defend Hejian Mansion.

Although it is not enough to reach the Liao State, there are many generals and generals, relying on the favorable location and people, it can finally support the undefeated.

When Lao Cao Fang went to Dengzhou, the army from Bianjing finally started, and the situation in Hebei suddenly changed again.

Zhao Guanjia wanted to be a generation of heroes, finished his work in one battle, thought hard, and decided to send two troops to destroy Liao in one fell swoop.

The first road was the Song Army on the East Road, appointing the cardinal Tong Guan as the generalissimo of the Eastern Route Army, appointing the eunuch Tan Zhi as the Hebei Xuanfu envoy, and selecting a total of 150,000 troops from the Western Army and the Tokyo Forbidden Army, all of which were handed over to the commanders of these two birdless men.

All the generals in the army are all talents, such as Liu Yanqing, "Divine Arrow", Liu Guangshi, "Battlefield Divine Horse", Wang Yu, "Bianliang Divine Knife", Wang Yuan, "Qizhen Northwest", Yang Keshi, "General Baiji", Yang Kesheng, "Iron Spear Langjun", Yang Weizhong, "Xihe Spear King", Ma Gongzhi, "White-faced Qin Qiong", Ji Jing, "Jade-faced Flying Dragon", etc., are all fierce generals who are in charge alone.

This generation is the old department that has followed Tong Guan Square, returned to Tokyo, and each was rewarded and promoted, it is the time of complacency, this time with Tong Guan swept Beiping Liao, all want to build Qixun again.

Tong Guan wanted to make a meritorious service, and specially asked for a holy decree to recruit 50,000 officers and soldiers from various states and provinces who were good at fighting, making up an army of 200,000.

Although these 50,000 officers and soldiers are all local chamber troops, they are native soldiers, archers, etc., and there are also many fierce generals, including three of the ten knots in the past, Xiang Yuanzhen of Langya Pengcheng Jiedu, Mei Zhan of Yingzhou Runanjiedu, and Yang Wen of Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu, as well as Dong Ping, a famous fierce general in Shandong, "double spear general" and Zhang Qing, "feather arrow".

Zhang Qing had two more deputies, called Gong Wang, the "Flower Tiger" and Ding Desun, the "Medium Arrow Tiger", who also led the army to fight.

The second road is the Song Army on the West Road, which is dedicated to the famous "old breed Xianggong" in the Western Army, and is promoted to the commander of the capital and the Baojing Army, and the generalissimo of the Northern Pacific, so that he can select 80,000 warriors of the Western Army, and merge with the 70,000 border troops of Shanxi to form an army of 150,000, go straight out of Yanmen Pass, and attack Kyushu behind the mountains of Liao.

Han Cunbao, the envoy of the Yanmen Festival in the clouds, Wang Wende, the envoy of the Jingzhao Hongnong Festival, Jing Zhong, the envoy of the Qinghe Tianshui Festival, Li Congji, the envoy of the Hanyang Festival in Longxi, and Zong Ze, who was promoted to the commander of the Taiyuan soldiers and horses because of his meritorious service in breaking the Tianhu, all listened to the order under Lao Zhong.

Regardless of these famous veterans, Lao Zhong went out this time, and there was a favorite general under him, who was only in his early thirties, and he was extraordinarily heroic.

This person's surname is Wang Mingyan, the word Zicai, Hedong Shangdang people, since childhood, good at reading the art of war, like to practice guns, his father saw his son's ambition, Tuomen Road sent to Bianjing Imperial Boxing Gym, learned a body of literature and martial arts, Zhao Guanjia personally awarded him as Qinghe Lieutenant, sent to serve in the Western Army.

Wang Yan went to the Western Army, just like a fish swimming into the water, and soon became famous, twice with the old Zhong to conquer the Western Xia, made many military exploits, and was promoted to the position of commander, and was the deputy of Liu Zhen, the chief general of the Jingyuan Army.

The previous imperial court requisitioned the Jingyuan army to fight Fangla, Wang Yan did not go out due to illness, and later Liu Zhen died in Hangzhou, and the soldiers and horses under his command were leaderless, and they could not rob other generals to grab the credit, and after the war, they were sent back to Jingyuan Road, and Wang Yan took over the jurisdiction.

Some officials couldn't help but ask-how did this Wang Yan get so good? Ten knots are just a brushstroke, and it takes a lot of pen and ink for him alone?

If it was just Wang Yan, there was no need to elaborate, although his martial arts were high and his reputation was famous, he might not be able to overshadow Yao Pingzhong, the "little captain" who is now cultivating immortals in Liangshan.

But why mention this in particular? It was because before he set off, a few young people suddenly came, claiming to be in honor of the master's will, and specially came to serve in front of his tent.

The master of those people, Yu Wangyan is quite kind, and he once taught him all the way to the sword technique in the Royal Boxing Gym, which has been used to this day.

From this knife method, if he calls someone a master, that person can also bear it, so the master's order is difficult to disobey, and it is really collected in the account, regarded as a younger brother, and used as a personal soldier.

Among these young people, there is a heroic man who is earth-shattering!

Who is this person? Don't press the table for the time being.

So far, the east and west roads, with a total of nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses, have set out to march!

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, so the war of the country, the money and grain are consumed like flowing water, the Zhao official family is the master this time, and it is considered exhaustive, and the construction of Genyue has not been completed, and he even held back tears and ordered to stop-

One is to save money and food and supply the army;

The second is that Zhu Mian is dead, and the Huashi Gang sent by his successor is difficult to enter Longmu, and the official family is an exquisite artist, how can he be willing to settle? Think about it for a while, simply lay down the Liao State, and then select famous ministers, then dig up all the beautiful stones and beautiful trees in the north and south, and fill them with them, in order to be perfect, forever in history, isn't it wonderful?

Of course, only the first reason is advertised.

As a eunuch, Tong Guan is regarded as a slave of the Son of Heaven, and his filial piety is naturally worse than those foreign ministers.

Therefore, whenever it comes to the Son of Heaven's "thrift food and clothing" for the conquest of Liao, Tong Dashuai has to sing praises and be generous, and he always says to people: "Although the world is the world of the Son of Heaven, it is also the world of the people of the world. It is also the business of the people of the world, and when money and food are consumed, how can the Son of Heaven be out? People in the world should also come out! ”

In line with this simple idea of sharing the worries of the Son of Heaven, Tong Dashuai marched all the way, confiscating more than 80 rich households all the way, all of whom were well-known rich people in Hebei and Shandong - and had no roots in the court.

Copying the huge amount of money, half of his own smile is accepted, and the other half is divided into two parts, one is to dot up and down, share the generals, and the other is reported to Zhao Guan's house, and there is a letter saying:

"The Liao army is huge, and there are many fearful rats in Heshuo, who secretly fornicate with the Liao people and discuss the dedication of land and cities. When the ministers heard this, they were furious, and they did things like cutting first and then playing, exterminating the clan and raiding the family, so as to prevent future troubles. Therefore, millions of dollars were obtained, and hundreds of treasures of various kinds were sent to the emperor with letters. Money can be used by His Majesty to raise the army, treasures can be pleasing to His Majesty's eyes, if His Majesty is worried about the war, a little leisure, the courtier's heart is enough. ”

The official family was overjoyed when he received the letter, and then he was moved to tears: "So that all the ministers and workers are like children, and the four seas will be peaceful for a long time." ”

On September 12, Tong Guan arrived in Lingzhou, dozens of miles away from Hejian Mansion and Cangzhou, so he sent a messenger to summon Wang Huan, Zhang Kai and other generals to meet with him, discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, and especially named Chai Jin.

Chai Jin was full of joy, only that the court knew his merits, and he wanted to use it more heavily, so he specially bathed in incense, rode a good horse, and led a hundred and ten people to Lingzhou with Xiao Jiasui, Zhu Jing, Shi Xiu, and Mu Hong.

Outside the city of Lingzhou, I saw the Song army barracks from a distance, grounded in the sky, everyone cheered when they saw it, and they were about to move forward, when suddenly a fast horse burst out of the oblique thorn, and immediately a person, with broad eyebrows and thick eyebrows, red hair and blue eyes, just like a person.

Shi Xiu saw it and shouted: "Brother Li Yun, you don't do business in Zengtou City, how did you get here?" ”

As soon as everyone heard it, Fang knew that it was Lao Cao's brother, "Blue-eyed Tiger" Li Yun, he, Zheng Tianshou and Yang Lin, the three of them, hung up the post of general in Lingzhou, stationed in Zengtou City for a long time, and handled things such as buying horses, and many brothers who came late had never seen it.

Li Yun was overjoyed when he saw Shi Xiu, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, where is Chai Jinchai's senior official today?" ”

Shi Xiu smiled and pointed: "Oh, isn't this Chai Daguan?" ”

Li Yun listened, flew off his horse and cut the whisk, and said urgently: "Chai Daguan, yesterday the prefect of Huang Wenbing in Gaotang Prefecture sent his henchmen to Zengtou City, so that our brothers can go to Cangzhou as soon as possible to find you and report the news, the Tao is that the army of the Liao State crossed the border two days ago, and the official army confiscated the furniture of your uncle Chai Huangcheng!" ”

Chai Jin was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly got off his horse, and asked with trembling hands, "Brother, could it be a mistake?" My uncle is the most honest, although the family is rich, but he never bullies others, and he is timid, even if he is afraid of breaking his head when he drops a leaf, how can he cause a catastrophe? ”

After hearing this, Shi Xiu's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid this disaster is due to the words 'rich family'." ”

Xiao Jiasui had a calm temperament, grabbed Chai Jin's hand and said: "Don't be anxious first, listen to Brother Li Yun's words, and you will know the clue." ”

Everyone listened and said: "Brother Xiao is very right, the big officials should listen to what that guy does, so that he can decide what to do." ”

Chai Jin gritted his teeth after hearing this, nodded his head a little, and listened to Li Yun say something, if you don't say this, it doesn't matter, once you say it, it will inevitably change the land of Hebei!

This is exactly what it is: the old eunuch is motivated by wealth, and the big official is committed suicide for righteousness. The Great Wall hates to destroy his own hands, and the heroes are angry!
