When Lao Cao led the army to Bishui, he saw Luo Yanqing pouting and pulling his face, standing at the city gate with a disappointed face.

How are you? It turned out that he led his troops as a vanguard to seize the city, but it was Liu Yu's son Liu Lin who guarded the city.

Liu Lin stood at the head of the city, pointed at Luo Yanqing and scolded: "You traitor, how dare you come here to die!" ”

Luo Yanqing was not to be outdone, and sneered at each other: "Your father and son, the disciple of the fox squirrel, is it enough to be the master of my Luo?" Those who know each other come forward and give the master credit in exchange. ”

The two of them scolded me for half an hour, and Liu Lin said viciously: "You traitor and wait, I will come down and arrest you, and I will cut you with a thousand knives." Luo Yanqing listened, and sure enough, he waited honestly outside the city, and waited for more than an hour, not only did Liu Lin not come out, but even the soldiers in the city disappeared.

He was feeling strange, a group of people in the city came to open the door in a panic, claiming that Liu Lin had already led the army to flee from the east gate, and Luo Yanqing knew that he had been tricked, so he was depressed.

Lao Cao heard this, nodded and smiled: "This person is helpless, there is no doubt that he will go to Zhengzhou to seek refuge in Yelu Yanxi." ”

As soon as Luo Yanqing heard this, he immediately asked for a battle and wanted to lead his troops to fight Zhengzhou.

When the brothers of the Zhang family heard this, they were immediately anxious, Zhang Zhongxiong grabbed Luo Yanqing and said: "You will be a pioneer when you fight against the water, how can you fight Zhengzhou again?" It's my brother's turn, too. ”

Zhang Bofen simply grabbed Lao Cao: "Boss, the husband can't like the new and hate the old, you have this Xiao Luo, could it be that you forgot the two Xiao Zhang?" ”

Hu Sanniang couldn't help nodding on the side: "After Zhang Dagongzi is worthy of his fame, what he said is reasonable. ”

Between the disputes, Wang Wende strode up, hugged his fists and said: "Wu Shuai, the last general has five out of fifty this year, if you want to talk about the old, who can be the old general?" Zhengzhou City has a wide plateau, which is not comparable to the previous county, how can it allow future generations to advance? The last general is not talented, and he is willing to drive forward for the army. ”

He is a general, Zhang, Luo and other juniors dare not fight, and they all look at Lao Cao.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Zhengzhou City is big, it can be broken if it is not a partial division, we will wait for tomorrow, the whole army will march, and let Wang Jiedu open the way first." ”

Wang Wende was overjoyed and staggered away, leaving Luo Yanqing and Erzhang complaining to each other.

The next day, the soldiers arrived in Xingyang County, but they saw that the doors were open on all sides, and there was not even a single person in the city.

Lao Cao had to return the horse and said with a smile: "Yelu Yanxi also knows the opportunity to fight this city, and knows that this city can't stop me, so he simply concentrates his forces for a decisive battle." ”

Zhang Jun asked him if he wanted to enter the city for the night, Lao Cao looked at the empty city, hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't enter, just rest outside the city, and go straight to Zhengzhou tomorrow." ”

Hu Sanniang said: "The county town can't live in the city, why bother the sergeants to set up camp?" ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I have my own plans, and I don't say much." ”

The people did not dare to disobey, so they set up camp three miles outside the west gate.

The camp was formed, and suddenly a gust of wind rose, whining like a ghost crying, only to blow the big flag in front of the handsome tent and flying vigorously, suddenly tearing off the rope, fluttering and falling to the ground.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it, Shi Wengong frowned and said: "This wind is a little ominous, could it be that the battle will be lost tomorrow?" ”

Lao Cao stepped forward to pick up the handsome flag, looked at Xingyang for a long time, his expression was uncertain, but he called Shi Qian and Dai Zong: "Brother, you two go and pick five hundred fine soldiers, enter the city and search carefully, I expect the enemy army to vacate this city, I am afraid that the night will be arranged to set fire, if it is really caught, then so, so, so." ”

He also called Zhang Jun, Luo Yanqing, Zhang Bofen, and Zhang Zhongxiong: "When it gets dark, the four of you will divide into two groups, each leading 2,000 troops, and go to ambush outside the north and south gates of this city. ”

Wang Wende hurriedly said: "Wu Shuai, today's old man is the pioneer." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I have my own place for you, you are with Wen Gong, leading 5,000 soldiers, like this, like this." ”

The more Wang Wende listened, the more happy he became, and finally laughed: "I will live up to the trust of the military marshal!" ”

At that time, everyone went according to the order, and within two hours, Shi Qian made people understand that fifty or sixty Liao people came to work carefully, and reported: "The Liao people have hidden a lot of sulfur flame and nitrate under the roof tiles of people's houses, and they have made these people hide in the dark places, only to set fire at night, and then our army can only go to the east gate, but he set up an ambush outside the city, but when he saw the fire, he came to intercept and kill." ”

When the generals listened, they were all surprised and admired Cao Cao for being like a god.

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed: "Isn't it ridiculous that such old tricks are also being played in front of me?" ”

I couldn't help but touch the back of my head while talking-

At the beginning, the fire in Puyang burned Lao Cao's horses and horses, and when he met Lu Bu, he hit his pocket with a halberd, and asked him "where is Cao Cao".

Soon after, Lao Cao contracted a head wind, and he had repeated attacks in his life, and it was very likely that he was knocked out by Lu Fengxian's halberd.

It was the third watch of the night, and the time moved in the city, and according to Lao Cao's instructions, the torch was lit.

After a while, the fire was soaring, and the entire county was shrouded in fire, especially at the three city gates in the south and northwest, the fire was the most blazing.

Shi Qian and Dai Zong led hundreds of people escaped from the only east gate without fire, and they didn't run far, they all stood in place, straightened their throats and shouted: "Burn me to death!" Run for your life! My beard is burning, help, help! ”

In the forest a few miles east of the city, countless Liao soldiers slowly walked out, and their faces were full of cruel and happy expressions, and there were more than 1,000 horse soldiers in the center, the first one was the former Emperor Tianzuo, and later the King of Yunzhou, Yelu Yanxi.

Around Yelu Yanxi, they are Yelu Xi Nilie, Liu Yu's son Liu Lin.

Looking at the sky-high flames, Yelu Yanxi laughed, patted Liu Lin and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect Brother Liu to have such a tiger!" You can rest assured, I will avenge your father and brother today, and when I restore the rivers and mountains in the future, I will make you a prince. ”

Liu Lin clenched his fists, full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers should serve His Majesty to the death! ”

It turned out that after the Jin soldiers left, Yelu Yanxi sat in Zhengzhou, and Yelu Chun sent troops to attack several times, but he blocked them. After coming and going, I gave birth to my thoughts-

Yeluchun is a waste, taking advantage of my trouble, he actually called himself the emperor, and I became the king of Yunzhou instead, isn't this ridiculous? Hmph, he was as afraid of the Jin people as I was, and plundered the Song Dynasty to establish a country, but I never thought of this hand earlier! Now that the left and right Jin people have gone, I have soldiers and generals under my hands, he deserves to be the emperor, is my decent emperor weaker than him?

Thinking like this, Yelu Yanxi resolutely restored and issued three national letters:

The first one was sent to Bianjing to Yeluchun, forgive him for his rebellious behavior, let him return to his own command, and still let him be the king of Wei.

The second way was sent to Zhenjiang to the old official's family, everyone is difficult to brother, and now that the old brother has re-ascended the throne, of course, the old brother must also be happy.

The third one was sent to the Jin Kingdom, telling them that the king of Yunzhou would not do it, and that I was still the emperor of Daliao.

This third national letter, Emperor Tianzuo thought about it, and threw it directly into the Yellow River - he was afraid that the Jin people would kill him, so he simply developed the first generation of drifting bottles, thinking that the Yellow River leads to a hundred waters, as long as there is a fate, the Jin people will definitely receive it.

In fact, it was his second letter of state that completely aroused the old official's family's already imminent restoration thoughts-

There is no reason that the abolished emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom can be restored, but our dignified Emperor Taishang of the Great Song Dynasty can't, otherwise wouldn't it prove that the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as the Great Liao?

Why did the old official's family cut all the way to Yelu Yanxi? It means encouragement.

Yelu Yanxi was restored and ascended the throne, and people went to pass Liu Yu to be a prince under his command, but Liu Yu sat on the king of Bianliang in the Dajin Kingdom, how could he see Yelu Yanxi's wooing? Therefore it is ignored.

Until Liu Yu was suddenly defeated, his son Liu Lin was cornered, so he had to come to Yelu Yanxi, Yanxi did not remember the old evil, took him in, and listened to his strategy, and wanted to burn Xingyang, burn and kill the Xijing Song army, and burn out the majestic emperor of Emperor Tianzuo!

In order to succeed in the first battle, Emperor Tianzuo only left 5,000 troops to defend Zhengzhou, led 15,000 troops to fight, plus 5,000 people under Liu Lin's department, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses ambushed outside Xingyang City.

At this moment, seeing the fire all over the city, Emperor Tianzuo laughed, decisively led his troops, and killed the generals from the east.

It's really -

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson!

This night, the heavy clouds covered the moon, the wind was urgent, and Emperor Tianzuo was ambitious, and personally took the lead in rushing to kill, shouting and killing, shaking the heavens and the earth.

However, when he arrived at the city gate dozens of zhang away, the fire in the city was blazing, reflecting the hundreds of people shouting and screaming outside the gate, Emperor Tianzuo vaguely saw it, couldn't help but be stunned, hurriedly reined in the horse, and blurted out: "Oops? Could it be that the fire was too big, how could only these hundreds of Song troops escape? ”

Before the words fell, the sound of killing on both sides was loud, with Zhang's Kunzhong on the left, Zhang Jun and Luo Yanqing on the right, each leading the troops, crashing into the Liao soldier formation, and letting go of the killing.

Outside the east gate, Shi Qian's eyes were sharp, and he saw the chaos of the Liao army at a glance, and a gold-armored general in front of the battle, panicked as if he wanted to escape, jumped on Dai Zong's shoulder, and pointed forward: "Brother!" The one in the golden armor must be Yelu Yanxi, hurry up and make the gods practice the law and take me to catch him! ”

This is exactly -

Ma Lingcai is called a god horse, how does the drum-flea ride Dai Zong? Standing at the east gate and shouting, I want to capture Tianzuo and make miraculous achievements!
