The vanguard army took Yong'an lightly, and Cao Cao learned of the great joy, and immediately played the table, asking for credit for the Zhang brothers.

Some officials can't help but wonder: It's only been one day since the army was dispatched, and he has taken a county seat, how can he not see the world like this? In a hurry, you want to report victory?

One more thing is confusing -

As mentioned earlier, the old official family is too emperor, with tears and great rewards, and the whole Jingbei Road was ceded to Yelu Yanxi, you must know that this piece of land is not small, enough for six states, two governments and one army!

The six states are Mengzhou, Zhengzhou, Ruzhou (the area of Pingdingshan in later generations), Caizhou (the area of Zhumadian in later generations), Chenzhou (the area of Zhoukou in later generations), and Yingzhou (the area of Fuyang in later generations)!

The two mansions are Xijing Henan Mansion (Luoyang area in later generations) and Yingchang Mansion (Xuchang and Luohe areas in later generations)!

That's right, Luoyang is also the boundary of Jingbei Road, otherwise why would the little official hate his father so much? Son, I'm still alive in Luoyang, Xijing, you even ceded the ground under my feet to someone, you hate me for not dying!

As for that army, it was the Xinyang Army (the Xinyang area in later generations).

If you are familiar with geography, you can't help but say "ho" at this time: Ho, this is most of Henan Province! I also brought a small piece of Anhui to go!

So isn't there a suspicion?

Yelu Yanxi has 20,000 horses, Liu Yu has 40,000 horses, and as soon as the Jin soldiers leave, the two families are separated, such a large territory, and there are not many Song troops in various states and counties, isn't it to take what you want? But why did the two families only occupy that small piece of space?

Yelu Yanxi is easy to understand, his great enemy Yelu Chun now occupies Bianliang, and he occupies Zhengzhou, so he naturally does not dare to divide his troops easily.

So why didn't Liu Yu expand?

At present, the three counties occupied, Yong'an and Gongyi belong to the boundary on the edge of Henan Prefecture, and Bishui is in Mengzhou.

In fact, this is the reason why Lao Cao is so busy and successful.

This Yongan County, it's not ordinary.

This county town, there was nothing in ancient times, and it will not be seen in future generations-

Today, Gongyi City is subordinate to Zhitian Town, which is about the Yongan County of the old days.

The situation here, according to the north, under the Songshan Mountain, west of Luoyang, east of Fuxi Mountain (Fuxi Mountain), if you look from the direction of Luoyang, it is amazing!

It actually takes the north mountain as the left auxiliary, the Songshan mountain as the right, the Fuxi Mountain as the backing, the Luoyang as the case, the Huashan as the dynasty, and the Luoshui shuttles into the Yellow River from the left side, and turns into a green dragon.

Feng Shui physiognomy, the emphasis of each faction is different, but it is also the same way, for example, look at each other from a different school of vision, the situation here, is even more remarkable: its mountain is in the north, borrowing the water of the Yellow River to raise Xuanwu, Songshan in the south, with the wood of Songshan Yunzhuque, in the east to Fuxi Mountain as the green dragon, and in the west to Xijing and Tongguan as the white tiger,

It is really an imperial yin house with Tibetan wind and water, continuous vitality, heaven and earth, and unparalleled weather!

Speaking of which, you must be clear.

It turns out that this Yong'an, so set up, is used to defend the imperial mausoleum, inside and outside the county, a total of seven emperors and eight tombs.

Which Seven Emperors?

It is Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Renzong Zhao Zhen, Yingzong Zhao Shu, Shenzong Zhao Xu, and Zhezong Zhao Xu.

Why is it the Eight Tombs?

and Taizu Taizong's father, Zhao Hongyin, who was also buried here.

In addition, there are more than 20 queens, Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng and other more than 100 famous ministers of the funeral mausoleum.

If in the Song Dynasty when the national fortune was prosperous, the Yongan County resident soldiers and horses of 8,000 were just to take care of the imperial tomb, but in recent years, soldiers have been used everywhere, and these soldiers and horses have already been transferred to scatter, and finally more than 1,000 people have also been transferred to guard Luoyang, so that Liu Yu occupies this place.

To put it bluntly, Lao Cao's battle was not just to take a county seat, but to take back the ancestral tomb of the old Zhao family.

It's just that this ancestral tomb, looking at it now, feels very dilapidated.

Just because Lou Mu went south and recruited countless bandits and water thieves as an army, and he had no logistics, how could he afford to raise a huge army?

Therefore, when stationed in Zhengzhou, many mausoleums were dug up and used as military funds, and only the remaining two mausoleums were not moved, which were the Yongchang Mausoleum of Taizu and the Yongzhao Mausoleum of Renzong.

However, Lou thought that Song Taizu was a hero, and Song Renzong was a Ming monarch, so he respected and ordered the three armies not to intrude.

When he left Lou's room, Liu Yu couldn't wait to occupy this place-

Wanyan Lou room a foreigner, Shang Ken valued the predecessors of the Zhao family, Liu Yu has been eating Song for a long time, but even outsiders are not as good, first wash the rest of the mausoleums carefully, and then decisively excavate the two tombs of Yongchang and Yongzhao, wanting to take all the treasures in it, so he waved his army to the south and reoccupied the territory.

Who knew that he hit a short fortune word, this hard work, just after digging the grave, Lao Cao has already waved his troops.

When Lao Cao entered the city, he saw a car full of bright utensils, and it was not enough to transport them away.

Liu Yanqing scolded when he saw it: "Oh, this Liu Yu dog thief really deserves to die of the plague, and the mausoleum of the former emperor of this dynasty dares to dig it without permission." ”

Cao Cao had some understanding, shook his head and smiled: "This fang has the ambition to compete for hegemony, so he naturally does everything. ”

Liu Yanqing said again: "Fortunately, he has more than 4,000 troops, and I don't have many soldiers and horses, so I just happened to be included in the team." ”

Lao Cao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." These surrendered troops, not only digging the emperor's tomb, are not comparable to ordinary anti-armies, and they are also unbearable, so they are still handed over to the emperor himself for disposal. ”

When his words came out, those who had surrendered to Luoyang heard that they were going to be escorted to Luoyang, and when they saw the descendants of their ancestral graves, they were all so frightened that they cried and grabbed the ground, and rushed to take out the small utensils they had privately hidden, hoping to buy their lives.

Hu Sanniang counted it, Le Zizi took a few pieces, and sent them to Lao Cao to see: "Xianggong, is this thing familiar?" ”

Lao Cao looked at it, but it was a copper seal, a few pendants, the copper seal was engraved with the words "Heavenly official blessing, no taboo", but the pendant was a copper hoop embedded with the sharp claws of some animal, dark and clear, engraved with two seal words of "touch gold".

One hair mound seal, nine gold talismans!

Lao Cao couldn't help but be surprised: Oops! Didn't I ask these things to be brought into the tomb? Could it be that someone has broken my suspicions?

couldn't help but be flustered, and hurriedly took it in his hand, and looked at it carefully, before he let out a long breath and shook his head disdainfully: "These are all forgeries." For example, if he really touches the gold talisman and uses gold wire to inlay it into a 'penetrating pattern', what is this thing for him? ”

asked Hu Sanniang again: "Where did these fakes come from?" ”

Hu Sanniang laughed and fell: "They are all captives who sacrificed their lives, saying that Liu Yu is the person who admired Emperor Cao Cao of Wei the most in his life, so he made his nephew Liu Yi a general in Faqiu, and set up nine captains to lead the troops to dig the imperial tomb." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and scolded: "What kind of horseman is worthy of envy of me? I will kill them! ”

Immediately ordered these more than 4,000 captives, all of whom were stripped of their clothes and armor, and escorted to Luoyang, so that the emperor could dispose of them himself.

As for the many bright vessels obtained, he picked up a few carts that were not very valuable and sent them as stolen goods.

The rest packed the box privately, and Ling Shiqian found a place to hide, but when the event calmed down, he took it out again.

Before interrogating the prisoners, it was known that Liu Yu was fine, this person led more than 20,000 people and sat in Gongyi, his nephew Liu Yi led 5,000 people to be stationed in Yong'an, and his son Liu Lin led 10,000 people to be stationed in Bishui.

Now that Liu Yi is gone, there are only two cities left.

It's just that under the command of this person, there are several brave generals, all of whom are famous figures in the Taihang Mountain area.

The first two are Xiangzhou thieves, crisscrossing Henan and Hebei, and are famous as "Xiangzhou Twin Demons", which are "ogres" Tao Jun and "killer" Jia Jin.

There are also Ma Bao, He Liu, He Qi, and Deng Wu, all of whom were under Wang Shan, the original Taihang Mountain drama thief "Golden Sword Yama", among which Deng Wu was a military advisor, known as "better than ghosts", Ma Bao, He Liu, and He Qi were all generals, Ma Bao was nicknamed "Iron Hedgehog", He Liu was nicknamed "Intercepting the Sky Yaksha", and He Qi was called "Fatal Impermanence".

There is another Luo Yanqing, nicknamed the "Golden Gun Overlord", who is a native of Huguang, who took the martial arts examination in Bianjing, and because of trivial matters, he harmed the examiner, so he simply recruited a gang of outlaws, and he was a thief near the capital, and now he is also under Liu Yu.

The next day, Lao Cao's soldiers went out of Yong'an, and the Zhang brothers naturally wanted to set off first, but they were stopped by Lao Cao: "Two brothers, Gongyi is the garrison of the thief chieftain, the people are strong and strong, but they are not as strong as Yong'an, and today I don't need you two to take the lead." ”

The two of them listened, where are they willing to follow? Zhang Bofen said: "Marshal, you only care about using me, and I will smash his city gate open with a hammer." Zhang Zhongxiong followed: "My brother is right, let him have more soldiers, I will kill them all with one sword." ”

Lao Cao shook his head and smiled: "It is precisely because you two are good steel that I specially have to use it on the edge of the blade to break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

Then lead the army out of the city, to Gongyi County outside twenty miles, there is a Qinglong Mountain, is the remaining vein of Fuxi Mountain, Cao Cao looked at it, nodded, and ambushed the soldiers and horses here.

Called Liu Yanqing and said, "Brother, this matter must be yours." ”

Liu Yanqing, a veteran general, naturally knew the opportunity when he saw Lao Cao arranging an ambush, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, marshal, deception is my brother's forte." ”

After Liu Yanqing went, Cao Cao called Wang Wende again, led the Zhang brothers, ordered 3,000 soldiers, went around the west of the city to set up an ambush, and instructed him: "You brought these things, and when you see Liu Jiedu's army defeated, don't pay attention to it, just wait for his chasing soldiers to return, you will be like this, like this." ”

Wang Wende nodded again and again and took the order.

Liu Yanqing led a thousand troops, came to Gongyi City with a big grin, pointed to the city and scolded: "Liu Yu, you thief, how did the country treat you poorly?" The mausoleums of the previous emperors were destroyed! Your nephew, who has eaten me yesterday, you acquaintance, obediently come out and be slashed, go to the underworld to walk the sword mountain and sea of fire. ”

Liu Yu heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, closed the four gates early, and led the generals to the city to prepare for the fight.

Immediately pointed and scolded back: "Who did I say who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and came to Liu's territory to beg for wildfire, but it was you Liu Yanqing, you old waste, if it weren't for you and Tong Guan's gelding dog, who ate the Liao soldiers and couldn't be defeated, how would Liu have fallen to today?" You waste, don't wait to die in Xijing, today I will fulfill you and avenge my nephew. ”

He was also cautious, but at this moment he saw that it was Liu Yanqing who led the army, and he really saw that he couldn't hold the fire, so even if he ordered troops to go out of the city, he would kill the Song army.

When the military advisor Deng Wu saw it, he hurriedly stopped: "Lord Wang, don't!" Deng has also heard of Liu Yanqing's name, he has always been a cautious person, if he has no backhand, how dare he only lead a thousand people and come to fight my city? There must be fraud in this matter. ”

Liu Yu woke up when he heard this, nodded and said: "What a military advisor, worthy of being called 'better than ghosts', he has few soldiers, it is indeed strange, isn't there an ambush waiting for me?" ”

Deng Wu hurriedly said: "The prince is wise! In my opinion, he must have used a deceit to lure my soldiers and horses to his ambush and kill them in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Yu was as kind as a stream, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, ignore it, pick the one with a big throat, and scold him." ”

Deng Wu shook his head again and again when he heard this: "No, Lord Wang, we made a plan before, dug up the treasures in the tombs of Taizu and Renzong, and then we will develop southward. It is better to design and defeat this gang, send cavalry to recover the treasure, and walk the whole army, which is the best policy. ”

When Liu Yu heard the reason, he nodded and said, "Military advisor, will the plan be released?" ”

Deng Wu smiled proudly: "He just wants to make a deceitful plan, and since he is broken by me, he will just plan it!" Secretly thinking how many Song troops can there be in Xijing? I sent 5,000 men and horses here to go out of the city to fight him, and when he was defeated, he pretended to chase after him, but then sent another 10,000 troops, and when he ambushed all his troops and killed my front army, I would cover up and kill the army here, so how could I worry that the officers and soldiers would not be defeated? In this way, not only is it possible to recover the treasure, but maybe Xijing can also go down in one go. ”

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard it: "Wonderful! Strategist, if this king gets you, he will be like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, really like a fish in water! ”

Immediately ordered, let He Liu, He Qi two, lead the army of 5,000 to kill, and he also personally went out of the battle, with the military division Deng Wu, the generals Luo Yanqing, Ma Bao, led the army 10,000 and then covered up, and left the Xiangzhou Double Demon to lead the remaining 10,000 troops to defend the city.

Liu Yanqing pointed to the sky and scolded him, and suddenly heard a drum sound, the city gate was opened, and five thousand soldiers and horses were in battle under the city.

Liu Yanqing raised his gun and pointed it: "Ah! Liu Yu, do you dare to fight with me! ”

Liu Yu was stunned in the city, thinking that this guy's eyes are not good? This king is standing here, and to whom is he talking?

He Qi wanted to take credit, and he didn't pay attention to what Liu Yanqing said, and shouted: "Bah! I am "impermanent" He Qi, a general of the Song Dynasty, and suffer death! ”

Liu Yanqing secretly said: Fraud and defeat, the focus is on a fraudulent word, I will run at this time, it is too explicit, and I will fight with him.

Immediately shouted, and the horses rushed out to greet each other.

The two generals committed suicide respectively, seeing that it was getting closer, Liu Yanqing looked at the enemy general's majestic figure in a trance, roaring like thunder, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, so he shouted loudly, quietly hung up the gun, secretly touched the bow and arrow, and suddenly raised his hand and shot a cold arrow.

At this time, the two were far apart, but only four or five zhang, Liu Yanqing released the arrow suddenly, and the action was fast, He Qi suddenly mentioned his heart and secretly complained: careless! Isn't he going to cheat, how to release cold arrows?

Hurriedly danced the steel fork into a ball and blocked it in front of him, hoping to miss him.

was in a hurry, and suddenly heard a scream of "ah" behind him, the voice was very familiar, it was not his brother He Liu, but who was it?

The Jin soldiers dug up the Song Tomb, leaving only Taizu and Renzong unmoved, and then set up a Qiu Zhonglang general for the pseudo-Qi Liu Yu and touched the Jin school captain to dig it, this matter is not fictional by the author, but only a little mention of the time.
