Lao Cao's distribution has been decided, arranged the defense of Kyushu behind the mountain, led 3,000 elites by himself, left Yanmen Pass, and returned to the Song Realm.

Mo Kan is only 3,000 people, but it is the best of the best, the tiger horses and flying horses brought by Shandong are all among them, and the rest are also the sharps who have won the most military achievements among the Han children recruited by Youzhou.

As for the surrender of troops from all walks of life in Liao, it was not a single one.

The accompanying brothers were: Hu Sanniang, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, Shi Bao, Gongsun Sheng, Jiao Ting, and Shi Qian, a total of eight heroes.

When he went south this time, he deliberately inquired about the path taken by the Jin soldiers, passed through Xinzhou, turned to Yuxian, and went all the way down to Pingding Army and Liaozhou.

These places along the way are now dilapidated.

The so-called "bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates"——

The Jin soldiers are soldiers, and most of them have the habit of fighting grass valleys, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are bandits.

What's more, it has recruited a lot of copycat bandits, which can really be called a family of soldiers and bandits.

This is enough to give people a way to live, but Lou Room still has a poisonous plan, that is, to drive away all the original Song Dynasty officials, and let those bandits who serve him leave their cronies and control the place.

These "new officials" are all first-class thieves, what do they know about governing the government and securing the people?

They control the place and do only two things—

The first is to squeeze money and food incessantly according to the requirements of Lou's room, and send it to the front of the army in a steady stream;

The second is to rob men and women to fill their own hunger.

Pity the people along the way, first the Song Dynasty exploited, and then Tian Hu rebelled, it was easy to live in peace for less than two years, and then he was tossed by the Jin people, he really hated the sky and had no eyes, and his fate was difficult.

Lao Cao walked all the way, the more he looked, the more shocked he became, the more frightened he became, the more angry he became, and the murderous intent was blazing, so he went all the way and killed all the people, all the people sent by the Jin people, as well as the minions for them, regardless of their origins, and the second did not ask about men and women, and they all caught and killed them.

As for the money and food that their generation had stored, they kept some of it for military use, and distributed the rest to the people.

He also selected local people with good family style and good reputation, and invited them to come out of the mountains and take care of the government for the time being.

One kills the wicked, two cents of food, three asks for autonomy, and the three policies are implemented, and the people everywhere they go are attached.

There are also many families who have formed blood enemies with Jin Bing, and their children are pestering and determined to join the army, and they gather outside the barracks every day, and they can't beat them away.

Lao Cao saw that the people's hearts were available, so he simply ordered Shi Wengong to set up a new army, called the "Bingzhou Army", and all those who wanted to join the army were all contained in it, and they followed behind the army, and practiced and practiced.

As soon as it comes, this road will not go fast.

And just as Lao Cao's soldiers and horses were slowly walking, under Bianjing City, changes were born again.

But before, the Jin people heard that Zhao Guan's family ordered him to withdraw from the army, and he was disgruntled, and asked to cut the land on Hedong Road as a reward.

Kwai Xiangyang rushed back to inform him, and when the official family heard it, he was immediately furious: "I thought he was an alliance, but he actually wanted to tear up my country's land, and the Jin people were hateful, thinking that I was Shi Jingjiao and others?" ”

Then he ordered Kui Xiangyang to hold the gold medal, bypassed Zhengzhou, and went to the northwest to urge the seed master, so that he could speed up the Jin army, "supervise the withdrawal of the Jin people from Yanmen", "can be more with his children, Jin silk, and not give up an inch of land".

Unexpectedly, Aoi walked to the sunny side for two days, and bad news came from the east:

It is said that the 80,000 troops of Yeluchun's department, since occupying Dongming County, will not move forward an inch, and build a pontoon bridge on the river to communicate Hebei, and the money and grain collected in the north will be continuously sent to Dongming, obviously wanting to make long-term plans.

You must know that Dongming County is only forty miles away from Bianjing, and it is really the dawn and the evening, and the Liao army is here to fight, and the officials are not surprised.

Before the official family could figure out what the Liao people wanted, bad news came from the west:

Yelu Yanxi, the king of Yunzhou in the Dajin Kingdom, commanded 10,000 troops, killed from Zhengzhou, and the soldiers arrived at Bianjing, scolding the Song Emperor for not keeping his promise, but he was a faint king, and asked him to go into battle and meet the king of Yunzhou!

When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he was stunned, and hurriedly complained to Fan Meiren: "I have set up a wonderful plan, count birds with one stone, once and for all, and the end is extremely clever, who knows that I mistakenly believe in Kwai Xiangyang, that guy has a body of martial arts, no brains, I don't know how to break things, now the Liao people don't go to fight Shandong anti-thieves, the tiger is looking at the east, the Jin people are also enemies with me, the wolf howls in the west, even the waste of Yelu Yanxi, all the fox and the fake tiger are shouting with me, the situation is like this, is it not the ancestral foundation, is it going to die?" ”

After that, he was full of grief and indignation, and shed two lines of tears.

He couldn't figure out how Kui Xiangyang could do an errand and make his good plan unrecognizable;

He also hated Tong Guan, Seed Master Dao and others for being useless, so that he was frightened, and thousands of pounds of state affairs were pressed on his shoulders.

In addition to the pain, artistic inspiration burst out like a spring, shouting: "Pen and ink wait!" ”

Fan Meiren hurriedly made her eyes, asked people to take a pen and paper, and personally sharpened the ink for him.

The official took the pen and dipped it in ink, and fused all the sorrow and anger into a wonderful thin gold body, and wrote a couplet in an instant.

The upper link is: the king is not the king of the dead country, and all kinds of wisdom are passing away.

The next link is: the ministers are all dead ministers, and the house is full of puppets.

After writing, I looked carefully, nodded again and again, and felt that my calligraphy had made great progress, and said with emotion: "The ancients said, the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky, and he is really honest and not deceiving. ”

The more I looked, the more satisfied I became, and I personally copied a lot of points, and asked people to send them to Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other ministers of civil and military affairs.

Not long after, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Liang Shicheng ...... A group of high-ranking officials came crying one after another, and knelt on the shore next to the boat: "The ministers are incompetent, please give your majesty the sin." ”

The official family walked out of the cabin, looked condescendingly, and said angrily: "The matter has come to this, what is the use of apologizing? If you wait for high-ranking officials to be generous, will you have no way to share your worries? ”

Liang Shicheng wiped his tears and stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!" ”

Liang Shicheng replaced Gao Yu and became a lieutenant, in charge of the world's military affairs, but the authority in the past was held by Tong Guan, and he finally found an opportunity until this time.

The official family was overjoyed: "My Aiqing, come quickly!" ”

Liang Shicheng said: "Didn't the former Fankui commander say, although the Jin army is numerous, the real Jurchen only has three thousand, and now the one outside the city is the old emperor of Liao, and his subordinates are just Liao's pawns. ”

The official family is talented and smart, and he has the most experience in this kind of paper data, so he immediately nodded: "Not bad!" The Western Army of the Old Seed Institute is weaker than Jin and stronger than Liao, hmph, if it weren't for Yelu Yanxi's incompetence, Jin State's greed and shamelessness, and the foundation of Kyushu behind the mountains has been decided, can I be so hesitant? ”

At this moment, he forgot that after the old minister sent troops to the mountain, he was going against his will.

But then he shook his head and sighed: "It's just that the old breed doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, and his department has been wiped out, so what's the use of saying these things?" ”

Liang Shicheng Zhizhu held it in his hand, and smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, although the old Xianggong was defeated, but his generals Zhang Jun, Qu Duan, Wang Yan, and Liu Qi are all famous and handsome in the Western Army, and they brought more than 4,000 elites to kill and surround Yeluchun, Your Majesty has not forgotten?" ”

The official's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Liang Aiqing, do you mean to let his four generals lead the army and kill Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the dead country?" ”

Liang Shicheng nodded and said, "Not bad!" These four people, the ministers have talked with them, they are all proficient in the art of war, skilled in martial arts, and loyal to the country! Let them lead more than 4,000 people in their headquarters, and then select 10,000 elite soldiers to supplement, if they can't win the Jurchens, they are still in the two sides, and why is it difficult to defeat the soldiers and horses of the 10,000 dead countries outside the city? ”

The official quickly calculated the combat strength in his mind and quickly came to the conclusion: you can fight!

Nodding again and again: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The Jin people also underestimated our country, and only sent 10,000 people to dare to provoke me, and destroyed his army, teaching him to know how powerful, and then war or peace, all of which are decided by our country! ”

At that moment, an order was issued that 11,000 people from the Tokyo Forbidden Army, together with more than 4,000 Western troops, would make up 15,000, with the eldest Zhang Jun as the chief general, and Qu Duan, Wang Yan, and Liu Qi as deputies, and immediately reorganize the troops and horses, and go out of the city in the afternoon to destroy the enemy.

Liang Shicheng got the will, thinking that he had overpowered Tong Guan's limelight, and in this move, he was a header, on the one hand, he ordered his cronies to recruit soldiers, and on the other hand, he personally came to see Zhang Jun and the four of them to inform them of the war.

When Zhang Jun heard this, he was shocked, and Zhang Jun said bitterly: "Captain Liang, it is a taboo to know the soldiers." I have never seen the 11,000 soldiers and horses, how can I lead him into battle? If they really want to fight, more than 4,000 people in the headquarters are willing to go out of the city to fight to the death, but there is no need to transfer another soldier and horses. ”

Liang Shicheng said angrily: "National affairs, how can you allow you to act recklessly? The enemy army is 10,000, and you only have 4,000, if you can win it, why did you lose it before? Do you know that it was not easy for Captain Ben to peel off this elite from Tong Guan's hands, just for you to wait for the victory, report to the Son of Heaven, and go down to An Lishu! If you don't know what to do, let Qu Duan be the main general. ”

Qu Duan smiled bitterly and said: "Tai Lieutenant, Zhang Jun has no intention of offending, my generation is a general, pay attention to a soldier like an arm, treat me with kindness and strict military law, and the soldiers respect me and fear me, so I am willing to fight to the death with my generation, and transfer a new army, we have neither grace nor majesty with him, but it is better to fight with 4,000 people in the headquarters." ”

Liang Shicheng was furious and screamed, "Bah! I am a captain, do you talk to me about these small affairs, and deceive me into not knowing the soldiers? You know that Mr. Lao Quan is the ancestor of the family, and he once wrote the "Book of Rights", which is the supreme wonder of the soldier, and after I am also a soldier, he was appointed as a captain, is it better for you to understand? Since ancient times, it has been the best policy to dominate the outnumbered! That's it, Wang Yan, it's up to you to be the master! Hugh will disappoint His Majesty and Captain Ben! ”

With that, he went away indignantly.

It turns out that this Liang Shicheng often regards himself as Su Shi's widowed son, because of the Po Xian romance, often given away as a concubine, occasionally pregnant, and did not carefully observe, Liang Shicheng was his mother was sent to someone else when she was pregnant in March, Su Shi's article was banned, or Liang Shicheng complained to the official family, and the ban was lifted.

And Su Laoquan Su Xun, the father of Su Shi, once wrote ten articles of "Book of Rights", the first of which was "Heart Art", when Lao Cao and Yue Fei argued for the truth, Yue Fei's arguments were derived from this book.

Seeing Liang Shicheng leave angrily, the four generals looked at each other, Liu Qi was only twenty-two or three years old at the time, but he was the most old, and sighed: "That's it, my generation eats Junlu and dies for the king, is it really afraid of the dead soldiers of the Liao State?" The war is over. ”

Qu Duan shook his head and said: "Those forbidden troops don't know the roots, I don't dare to use them." ”

Liu Qi persuaded: "Brother Qu, how can you be so honest? Don't you hear that the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected? The officials were afraid that we had few soldiers, and they originally had good intentions, so let's do it, the more than 10,000 people, you and Brother Zhang each lead half, and our more than 4,000 people, only I and Brother Wang are in command, go out of the city to fight, we are in the center to kill the enemy, you should be left and right, as long as he does not disturb our own formation, more people will be strong, what's not bad? ”

"Take them into battle, not against them?" Qu Duan's eyes rolled, and he was immediately overjoyed: "What a clever plan!" Brother Xian, in this case, I will kill the enemy with Wang Yan, and you and Brother Zhang will each lead a forbidden army. ”

Zhang Jun glared: "I lead a fart forbidden army, the emperor ordered me to be the main general, what qualifications does Liang Shicheng have to replace?" I am in charge of this battle, Qu Duan and Xiao Liu assist, why should the 11,000 people be divided into two shares? With the power of Wang Yan's brothers, why not lead 10,000 people alone? ”

Wang Yan was furious, grabbed Zhang Jun and reasoned, the four of you fight for me, and they refuse to take that group of forbidden troops.

In the afternoon, Yelu Yanxi saw the sun and shadow moving westward, and was about to collect the army, when he suddenly saw a crowd of people on the wall of Bianjing City, and a Huangluo umbrella cover, fluttering up to the city, he was happy in his heart, and knew that this must be Zhao Guan's family in the city.

It turned out that after thinking about it, Zhao Guanjia carefully calculated the combat strength of both sides several times, and felt that this battle would undoubtedly be won, and he was so proud that he actually went to the city to watch the battle in person, and wanted to follow the example of the emperors who were personally conscripted, and watched his own generals make meritorious contributions.

Yelu Yanxi put his hand on the pergola and watched, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe under the umbrella of Huang Luo, and there was a young man and a teenager beside him.

The gun was pointed at the head of the city and shouted: "Zhao Ji! I am the king of Yunzhou in the Jin country, the soldiers of the Jin country are strong and strong, the national fortune is steaming, the king should be a good person, has dropped a lot of gold, and now I am here to persuade you, and surrender it together, otherwise open your city, kill the chickens and dogs, don't say that the king is unpredictable! ”

When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he was angry, slapped the battlements, and pointed at the city and scolded: "Yelu Yanxi, you, the king of the dead country, don't know how to shout in front of me?" The ancestors of your family, what a hero, how did they give birth to your unworthy descendants? Do you dare to persuade me to surrender? My bones are not as weak as yours! In my body, there is the blood of Emperor Taizu Taizong, don't say that you are a little king, that is, the Jin people will pour the country south, and I will also fight with them for a world and the earth will be broken! ”

Cai Jing's civil and military forces, because the emperor wanted to go to the city, all followed with bitter faces, seeing the murderous spirit steaming up and down the city, and when they were weak and their feet were sore, they suddenly heard their emperor say such generous words, and they couldn't help but be stunned: This official family is not in tune, is it so strong inside?

Yelu Yanxi was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "Zhao Ji! What are you pretending, you are obviously a soft egg, how can you dare to be a good man in front of this king by relying on the city wall? When this king shoots bears and tigers, you can only shoot some women indiscriminately, and you dare to put on a prestige in front of this king? Come down, I'll fight to the death with two against one! ”

Zhao Guanjia's heart froze, and he secretly exclaimed: I am worthy of being an emperor, so knowing my thoughts, how can he see that I am relying on this city wall?

But I have to say that there is a wall to fight, but it is different, but seeing that the official family looked up to the sky and smiled, he shook his head slightly: "Fight to the death with me?" Do you deserve it too? If you are still the Emperor of Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, and you are equal to my position, I will put on armor and hold the battle, so why not fight with you? You are now a little king, what qualifications do you have to invite you to fight? If you want to fight a decisive battle with me, okay, call your family to come to the end of the face! ”

These words became more and more generous, and the soldiers and generals all over the city applauded in unison: "Let Ah Gu call!" "Let Ah Gu call!"

The Nine Emperors' son, Zhao Gou, was even more shocked by his father's pride, and suddenly screamed: "King Yunzhou, you are not worthy of my father's invitation to fight, I am Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County of the Great Song Dynasty, and your position is just matched, and let you learn how to shoot this king!" ”

Before the words fell, he jumped up to the battlements, condescendingly, and shot an arrow, Yelu Yanxi did not expect him to answer with Emperor Song, but someone dared to sneak attack, hurriedly flashed, his shoulder was in the morning, "ouch", and he fell off the horse.

The city was slightly stunned, and then the whole city cheered.
