In this battle, Lao Cao sent his own soldiers and horses early, drove far away, and killed them when the two armies were deadlocked.

In a hurry, the Liao soldiers who lowered the gold saw him come to the siege and kill in all directions, and they didn't know the geometry of the soldiers and horses, how could they not collapse?

Xiao Feng was not the leader, leading dozens of loyal guards, struggling to break out of the encirclement, and the chaos coincided with Guan Sheng.

The two opposite sides fought, only one together, Guan Sheng cut off Xiao Fengxian's spear with a knife, grabbed the horse with one hand, threw it to the ground, and his own swordsmen pounced on it like a wolf, tied it firmly, and sent it to see Lao Cao.

Lao Cao is here, watching the tart count the casualties.

Because it is a plain, Lao Cao's men and horses want to avoid the enemy, so they naturally go farther away, and the 8,000 people in the Tart Tree are fighting for an hour against three or four times the enemy, where are the casualties small?

After some counting, more than 2,000 people were folded, and the tart couldn't help shedding old tears.

Cao Cao smiled and comforted: "Brother-in-law, although the soldiers have been damaged, at least 10,000 or 20,000 people have been captured in this battle, and they will be replenished into our army, and the strength will increase." ”

Tart Lili shook his head and sighed: "Brother-in-law, these 8,000 people are all soldiers who are extremely loyal to me, especially the most daring to fight, how can you not make me sad?" ”

While speaking, Guan Sheng led a few knife hands and pushed Xiao Feng to come first.

This man was quite tall, but he was tied up with ropes, and cried out, "The binding is too urgent, beg to slow down!" ”

Lao Cao kicked him over and sneered: "People whose lives are in an instant, what about slowing down?" ”

Xiao Fengxian's face was covered with dust, and when he looked up, he looked at it with a fresh face, and said in amazement: "Who are you?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I am the Holy Duke of Jiangnan, Fang La, and now I am serving Da Liao, Your Majesty allows me to be the king of the Southern Courtyard!" ”

Xiao Fengxian said hurriedly: "The Liao country is like ashes, it cannot be rekindled, Ao Lu is proud for a while, and it is inevitable that he will die and the country will be destroyed, Your Excellency is so heroic, why follow such a living corpse?" It's better to reduce the gold with the old man, and with your Excellency's ability, it will be okay to worship the king. ”

Cao Cao kicked him in the face and scolded, "Shut up! When someone on my side is two-faced? You persuade me to surrender? I'm going to persuade you to surrender! Come on, come on, surnamed Xiao, if you don't want to die, you will honestly surrender. ”

Xiao Fengxian shouted: "Okay, happy! In this case, the old man really doesn't want to die, and is willing to surrender! ”

Lao Cao saw his ugly appearance, laughed, and said hatefully: "Willing to surrender? Great, you really know the times, come and come, and wait for this king to reward you with a whip! ”

After that, he lifted the horsewhip and beat it, Xiao Feng first ate his whipped and rolled on the ground, wailing endlessly.

When Ao Luwei heard the voice, he came over and saw Xiao Fengxian being tortured, and couldn't help laughing: "Old thief, you also have today?" ”

Xiao Fengxian heard it familiarly, and struggled to look, but it was Ao Luwei, and immediately said to him: "Your Majesty, you spare the old minister's life, the old minister knows his mistake, and he will be brave and loyal in the future." ”

Guan Sheng saw him so unbearable on the side, and scolded in a low voice: "Shameless villain." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said in a low voice: "This is the ugly state of the last days of the dynasty, the generation of pigs and dogs, filling the court." ”

Shi Wengong laughed and said: "If it is Cai Jing and Wang Hao's generation, I'm afraid it's not the same situation?" ”

Ao Luwei didn't know how many of his people whispered, pointed at Xiao Fengxian and scolded bitterly, pulled out his sword, and wanted to use his hand.

Cao Cao stepped forward to stop: "Your Majesty left people under the sword, but the last general has something to say." ”

Ao Lu Qiqi said: "Fang Shuai wants to intercede for this kind of rat generation? ”

Lao Cao smiled: "Please also ask Your Majesty to borrow a step to speak." ”

Ao Lu raised his sword and walked a little farther away with him, Cao Cao said in a low voice: "Xiao Fengxian can't kill at this time, and he will have a plan in the end, and he is going to rely on him to take Huanzhou." ”

Ao Luwei was overjoyed when he heard it: "Please also ask Fang Shuai to teach me." ”

Cao Cao said: "In today's battle, why did the last general drive people and horses far away and encircle from behind?" just refuses to let him go! Huanzhou didn't know the reality of this battle, and it was the time to use the plan. If you don't kill Xiao Fengxian, force him to return to Huanzhou with his men and horses to earn the city gate. ”

After hearing this, Ao Lu frowned and hesitated: "This plan...... Fang Shuai, Xiao Fengxian repeated the villain, he knew that I hated him very deeply, and when he was in battle, there would be branches! ”

Cao Cao praised: "Your Majesty can be said to know people, but the last general has this plan, and he is about to give birth to branches!" ”

Ao Lu was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "But where does this start?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It's from this to this." ”

Ao Luwei listened for a long time, and gasped: "Good plan!" ”

The two turned around and returned, only to see Xiao Fengxian lying on the ground panting, already half of his old life.

Ao Luwei frowned, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Xiao Fengxian, do you really surrender, or do you want to repay?" Let's be honest. ”

Xiao Fengxian showed a look of surprise, then his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is sincere!" First, after all, the old minister's surname is Xiao, so is he not loyal to the Great Liao Kingdom? Emperor Tianzuo lowered the gold, and the old ministers were also heartbroken! Both, the old minister has so many soldiers and horses, but he was gently defeated by His Majesty, it can be seen that the ancestors of all generations are protecting, Your Majesty is now the only hope of my Daliao, and the old minister is a loyal minister of Liao, how can it not be sincere? ”

Tart Li exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this person has a honey-bellied sword, and the words he says are like farts, how can he believe a word?" ”

After that, he drew his sword and slashed, Ao Luhu's sword was handed out, he held his knife, and said slightly angrily: "Uncle, I am here, I have never said to kill him, how can you act without permission?" ”

Lao Cao pulled on the side, grabbed the tart's hand and said, "Don't be rude in front of Your Majesty." With a pinch of his hand, he knew that they should have a good intention, and he swallowed his anger for a while, and retreated, looking shocked and uncertain.

Ao Lu returned the sword into the sheath, helped Xiao Fengxian up, and said in a deep voice: "You are the elder brother of Concubine Yuan, and I am also my uncle, I don't want to kill each other, although you acted hateful before, but I still want to give you a chance." ”

Xiao Fengxian was inexplicably surprised, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and the old minister also goes back and forth for His Majesty." ”

Shi Qian listened to it unhappily: When I went to Huanzhou to steal this prince, I also said this to my brother, how can this big traitor dare to learn from me? My brother heard it on the side, don't suspect that I'm also a traitor?

But I heard Ao Luwei smile lightly: "I don't want you to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I want Huanzhou!" ”

Xiao Fengxian shuddered and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! There are still 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers and horses in Huanzhou, distributed inside and outside, especially the elite of the golden soldiers, which is really not easy to take. ”

Ao Lu laughed and said, "If it's easy to take, what use do you want?" There are 20,000 people under my command, and now they have lost a lot, even if they add the surrender army, it is less than 40,000. That's why you have to earn the gates! ”

"Earn money and cheat the city?" Xiao Fengxian trembled again, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is sparing his life, but I'm afraid that I will miss Your Majesty's important affairs." ”

Ao Luhu laughed: "Why are you afraid? Now you have brought people and horses, and none of them have escaped, who knows that you have been defeated? You go back and open the city gate, I have my own brave generals to rob the city, what can you mistake? ”

Xiao Fengxian quickly thought in his stomach: That's it, if I don't go, I will be sad to see this pass, it is better to respond to him, I will go to the city, and according to him, open the city gate, and then Pegasus will rush in, drink it directly, and let them fight by themselves, thinking that these remnants in his hands, how can they be a Jurchen blow? ”

With a plan in his heart, he gritted his teeth, looked like a loyal and righteous person, and nodded: "Since Your Majesty has considered it thoroughly, why should the old minister regret this?" risking death to open his city gate to see the old minister's fierce loyalty. ”

Ao Lu said pretendedly: "In this way, you really have the sincerity to subdue me, which is really gratifying." ”

The two of them each had a ghost, laughed at the same time, and shouted in their hearts at the same time: Stupid, I am also a plan!

On the same day, he camped, buried the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, left the wounded and difficult to walk in the camp for the time being, and mixed the captured soldiers and horses with the original Liao soldiers, a total of more than 20,000 people, plus the old Cao Xifeng army, a total of 37,000.

After a day's rest, on the twenty-eighth day of December, the army pulled out the camp and drove to Huanzhou, marching more than 40 miles in one day to the territory of Huanzhou.

In the north of Huanzhou City, there is a river, named Sanggan River, known as Luoshui in ancient times, and it is the upstream of Yongding River.

At the end of the year, the north was cold, and the Sanggan River had frozen into ice.

Cao Cao's army camped in the north of the Sanggan River, that night, Ao Lu called Xiao Feng to enter the tent first, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, our army is camped here, and soon it will be found out to Huanzhou, the military situation is like fire, you will set off tonight, lead 5,000 elites, only call the battle lost, earn the city gate, it is your first credit!" I swear to heaven that I will treat you like an uncle in the future. ”

Xiao Fengxian was helpless in his heart, and made a loyal and brave gesture on his face: "Your Majesty is lying in the middle army, and the ministers will come to offer Huanzhou!" ”

Walking out of the tent, I saw 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom had already gathered, all of them were sharp soldiers under the command of Tart, and none of them were soldiers brought out from Huanzhou.

After Xiao Feng led this army first, Cao Cao turned out from behind the tent and looked at the worried Ao Luwei: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the enemy will be defeated tonight." ”

Guan Sheng and other generals came out one after another, the iron armor was frosty, and his expression was serious, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Go separately!" ”

All the generals nodded in unison, Guan Sheng, Shi Bao, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Xu Ning, Li Tianyan, Sun An, and Du Yan, each leading 2,000 men and horses, stepping on the ice and looking south.

Shi Wengong was alone, riding a horse and carrying a gun, and followed Sun An.

Cao Cao was also left with Luan Tingyu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, five generals, and more than 3,000 Xifeng troops.

Cao Cao looked at the generals: "Brothers, do as planned." ”

When more than 3,000 troops of the west wind heard this, they were ordered to work in groups of several people, all armed with heavy weapons such as whips, hammers, sticks, and axes, and spread out a long line to the south end of the river, from the south to the north.

In the deep night, the wind howled, and the faint sound of jingling was faintly heard, slowly moving away from the south and north.

Not to mention what he is doing here, just say that Xiao Fengxian led the men and horses, traveled seven or eight miles, came to the city of Guzhou, raised his head and shouted: "Open the door, open the door, our army is defeated, let us enter the city quickly!" ”

The guard of this gate, who was Xiao Fengxian's general, took a lantern and saw that his general was under the city, and hurriedly ordered the door to be opened.

The city gate was heavy and slowly opened, but when Fang opened a crack, Xiao Fengxian immediately got up and kicked off the horse with the generals sent by Tart Li's side to him, and then Pegasus rushed into the city, shouting: "Close the door, close the door, they are all rebels!" ”

The general was shocked, and hurriedly closed the door, where are the Liao soldiers outside the city? Rushing hard, the city gate could not be closed, and those who were brave rushed to the door and slashed and killed, shouting in an instant.

Xiao Fengxian didn't pay attention to it, one person and one horse, galloped to the Marshal Jinbing's mansion, Wanyan Lou Room had not slept at this time, heard the sound of killing in the north of the city, and brought more than 100 personal soldiers, and was about to go to inspect, Fang went out and met Xiao Fengxian.

Lou Room has experienced a hundred battles, and seeing his flustered appearance, he knew that something was wrong, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Fengxian, didn't you lead troops to quell the rebellion?" Why is it so late at night? ”

Xiao Feng rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and cried like a dead father: "Da Shuai, the young general is incompetent, he was ambushed on the way, and was captured by the enemy, Ao Luwei's little thief really established himself as the Liao Emperor, and forced the young man to earn the city gate for him, the young general was loyal to Dajin, pretended to be subservient, and went to the door to call the conspiracy, and Pegasus came to report the big handsome!" ”

Lou Mu frowned, and his face remained unchanged: "How many people are there in Ao Luwei?" Who is the handsome? ”

Xiao Fengxian said: "There are only more than 10,000 old soldiers in that house, when I ambushed me, I was killed and killed by the young generals, and then there was a thief army called the West Wind Army, about more than 10,000 people, who were allowed to take the high position of the king of the Southern Courtyard by him, and also served under him, and the rest were captured by the young generals, and there were also 10,000 people." As for the leader of the army, it was his uncle Jerod Tart. ”

Lou Room laughed: "There are no mediocre people in the tart, as for your people, they were defeated by the Song Dynasty first, and then they lowered their gold, and now they have returned to the Liao Kingdom, three or four times, their hearts are exhausted, and they are already unbearable." In this way, he has only thousands of veteran soldiers who can fight, plus 10,000 rabble thieves? ”

Xiao Fengxian nodded again and again.

Lou Mu shook his head and said to the left and right: "After all, he is a young man, only a bloody bravery, since he has established himself as the emperor, he has fled far away, slowly recruited troops and horses, or can he make me cause some trouble, and now he is attacking himself, but it is going to be the New Year, and he deliberately gave his head as a gift?" ”

Laughing left and right.

Lou Mu also smiled fiercely: "In this case, I accepted this gift." Go and point out the soldiers and horses with me, Xiao Feng will lead the way first, and I will personally go to capture Ao Lu Hu and hand it over to the king of Yunzhou. “

Xiao Fengxian sneered: "The king of Yunzhou doesn't like this son in the first place, and he will definitely be executed." ”

In a short time, 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers gathered in the city, of which about 5,000 veterans of the Jin State came here to rest and recuperate, and the rest were all soldiers of the Liao State.

The eldest son of Wanyan Lou's room, Wanyan Huonu was full of murderous anger, and asked for his life with a big knife: "Father, let the child be a pioneer." ”

Lou Mu smiled, shook his head and said: "You have already made a lot of meritorious contributions, don't fight with others, don't you often complain that I refuse to reuse you?" Do you dare to be a pioneer in this battle? ”

Yan Duben was full of beard and tall body, and laughed when he heard this: "Marshal, if you use me, the head of the little emperor of Liao will become my horse bell." ”

Lou Mu smiled: "That's not good, since the king of Yunzhou surrendered, let's not kill his son, let him do it himself, you want a horse bell, and the head in Yelu's tart is enough." ”

As soon as Fang entered the city, he saw countless soldiers and horses pouring out of the streets and alleys, especially on the front avenue, a general wielded a mace and led thousands of people to kill, obviously the elite of the golden soldiers.

The Liao soldiers only felt that their liver and gallbladder were cold, and their lungs turned into ice, and they shouted in unison: "It's ambushed, it's ambushed, he's prepared in the city!" Qi Qi turned around and fled.

Wanyan laughed cruelly: "Hahaha, kill them all, catch up, chase to the end of the sky!" ”

rushed out of the city gate first, biting the ass of the Liao army and killing hard.

Seven or eight miles after chasing down, there were less than 1,000 Liao soldiers alive, and tens of thousands of troops behind them landed on the ground like a flood.

On the north bank of the Sanggan River, Lao Cao said lightly: "Your Majesty is optimistic, breaking gold and recovering Liao will be today." ”

I saw that the defeated soldiers were crackling, flying across the ice, and a few pieces of ice moved slightly, slipping the people running on it, and those people didn't notice anything wrong, and quickly got up and continued to run.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and shouted loudly: "The golden soldiers are coming, Your Majesty, go quickly!" ”

When Tan Duben heard the word "Your Majesty", his spirits perked up, he laughed loudly, and rushed up the ice-covered river on his horse.

Immediately, countless soldiers and horses followed him overwhelmingly.

Ao Lu Yan clenched his fists when he saw it, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Cao Cao: "Fang Shuai!" You are so ruthless in your use of soldiers, I have never heard of it, how could a character like you lose to Tong Guan's eunuch? ”

There is a division of teaching: Heaven and earth are unpredictable, and it is more difficult to prevent treacherous male plans. Indifferent to a long river, the ice and frost are frenzy.
