Eunuch Zhang hurriedly helped Cao Bin up and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty asked our family to bring a message to Master Hou."

"Even if Master Hou lets it go, even if he really lets His Majesty act as bait, it doesn't hurt to say it bluntly."

"In addition, Your Majesty said that after the triumph, the eldest daughter of the Marquis will be crowned with the title of earl."

After speaking, he insisted on Cao Bin's gift and took people away directly.

For Cao Bin, he has long been willing to make friends, how can he covet a little silver?

The daughter of the Yang family saw that the emperor sent someone to reward, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic.

The third mother of the Yang family muttered even more:

"The official family treats you as their own son, my Yang family was born and died for the Great Song Dynasty, and I have never seen him so attentive."

Cao Bin shook the feather fan with a smile, but when he didn't hear it, he turned around and said proudly:

"Is Ben Hou handsome?"

She had to say that in front of herself, otherwise she would inevitably be beaten and reported.

In the past two years, Cao Bin once told Huangfu Xiaoyi some stories of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, and asked him to make up a script and sing it, but it was not systematic.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he planned to copy out the entire copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and carefully manage his own personality.

Sister Yang's eyes lit up, she nodded hurriedly, touched his sleeve and said:

"What kind of fabric is this? It looks gorgeous. ”

Sanniang said speechlessly:

"You're still a woman, and you can't even tell Shu Jin."

For a while, the generals sent their sycophants one after another.

Although Cao Bin was pleased, he also knew that the emperor's gift was not easy to take.

The emperor was so attentive, he should have guessed Cao Bin's original plan, and the reward gift was not an expression of shame.

Since the emperor has expressed his intentions, of course he must also show it.

Otherwise, wouldn't you be ignorant?

"That's it!"

Cao Bin waved his hand, stopped everyone, returned to the handsome position and said solemnly:

"Since the plan to lure the enemy fails, you have to think of another strategy, if you have a clever plan, just come to it."

The generals also became serious and made their own suggestions.

Cao Bin listened to it for a long time, and saw that there was no bright plan, so he directly said his plan:

"I was going to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army!"

Everyone immediately panicked, and hurriedly said:

"Hou Ye thinks twice, the Liao army is the best at field warfare."

"If we want to fight, it will be difficult for us to defeat them."

Mu Guiying also nodded and said:

"Cao Bin, don't be rash, my duel with the Liao army is really difficult to win."

"What's more, our army is slightly inferior to the Liao."

Now there are only 70,000 Song troops in Dingzhou, and if you exclude the people who defend the city, only more than 60,000 people can be used.

However, the Liao army has 80,000 people, and most of them are elites, so it will be a loss if they fight.

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"It's not just a matter of will."

"It's just that the Liao people are swimming in the rear of our army, and there must be a conspiracy."

"For today's plan, only by quickly defeating the main force of the Liao army can they have nothing to do."

As the saying goes, if you fight with one punch, you won't come with a hundred punches.

Instead of guessing the other party's conspiracy, guarding against the enemy's secret moves, and being led by the enemy's nose, it is better to take the initiative and let them be busy saving themselves.

Cao Bin is not good at fighting wits and courage, and he doesn't feel that he is a master of playing with his heart, but he understands the simplest truth.

That is to seize the initiative.

How much brains do you need to crack other people's schemes? It's better to let someone else crack your own scheme.

Then, he said:

"Half a month ago, I secretly ordered people to build a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the Tang River."

"You do the math, see what the odds are, and make a complete plan."

Sanniang of the Yang family shook her head and said: "There is little water in the Tang River, I'm afraid it won't be a threat." ”

The Tang River was originally a small river, and the flow was even smaller in winter, so it was basically impossible to attack the enemy with floods.

Cao Bin said with a smile: "I don't mean to attack the enemy with water, this time I want to attack the enemy with ice." ”

Although the lack of water can not cause much harm, in the cold winter wax moon, the weather when the dripping water turns into ice, can transform the nearby dozens of miles into ice land, and abolish the cavalry of the Liao army.

Even if Yeluren defended tightly first, Cao Bin would tear a hole in him.

Sanniang of the Yang family glanced at Cao Bin in surprise and said:

"No wonder you let the people make skateboards and nail clogs, and send out a lot of scouts to exhaust the enemy."

"Did you expect this to happen? It's really a bit of a martial artist. ”

Where would Cao Bin have expected so much, just be prepared.

And in order to cover up this plan, he took turns to send light cavalry to harass and intercept and kill the Liao State Tanma, which had already made Yeluren suspicious, so he couldn't delay it any longer.

It is necessary to quickly decide the winner before the Liao people react.

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and the New Year is approaching.

Among the Liao army camps.

Emperor Liao was also a little anxious, and said to Yeluren first:

"Marshal Renxian, time has dragged on for too long."

"If the confrontation continues, I am afraid that it will be uneasy in the country."

Yeluren first pondered for a moment and comforted:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yiweichen predicts that the defeat of the enemy will be in these few days."

The emperor can be in a hurry, but he must not be in a hurry, otherwise it will be a mess.

At this time, the spies suddenly reported:

"Your Majesty, Marshal, the Song army is celebrating the New Year's Day in the city."

As he spoke, his eyes also showed a little longing, he had been on the expedition for more than half a year, and it was the festive season, and the two armies of Song and Liao were all homesick.

When Yeluren heard this, he hurriedly said:

"I'll see for myself."

After he confirmed the situation in Dingzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Even so, the armies must not be careless, and must be on duty carefully."

confronted Cao Bin, and the pressure on him was also very high.

Different from Cao Bin's self-feeling, he is extremely jealous of Cao Bin, the other party not only uses troops strictly and without flaws, but also makes good use of tricks.

The Liao army was cheated many times, which made him frightened, lest the other party come up with some tricks and make the Liao army lose its troops.

Therefore, it has been regarded as a lifelong enemy.

In fact, Cao Bin doesn't manage military affairs at all, and the reason why he rarely shows flaws is because he is self-aware.

On weekdays, the troops are managed by people who are proficient in military affairs, and many generals have been gathered to check and fill in the gaps and assist in command.

In each operation, everyone is asked to sort out information and improve the plan together, which is equivalent to a staff department.

Yeluren first seemed to be confronting Cao Bin, but in fact, he was confronting the collective wisdom of more than a dozen people.

That's why he's under so much pressure.

These days, the Song army harassed day and night, making Yeluren unbearable and not daring to relax completely.

Now that Song Jun is celebrating the New Year's Day, he should be able to sleep well.

Shortly after nightfall, the sky was covered with fine snow.

In the middle of the night, the sound of running water suddenly resounded through the barracks.

In his sleep, Yelu Renxian suddenly had a palpitation, got up and listened quietly for a while, and hurriedly asked:

"What's going on, why is there the sound of water?"

As he spoke, he suddenly sobered up, screamed, jumped out of bed, and shouted:

"Wake up the soldiers and prepare for battle."

At this moment, the military camp of the Liao State has become the country of Ze.

Yelu Renxian only felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"Beware of enemy attacks on the camp, and be cautious in defense."

He wasn't too worried about that, because he was prepared.

The Great Tent Leather Room Army and the Shan Army were on guard in shifts, and once the enemy attacked the camp, they would immediately be intercepted by iron cavalry.

But what surprised him was that the sky was bright, and there was no Song army coming.

The soldiers were on guard all night, and only then did they relax slightly.

Just as Yeluren was thinking about the enemy's plan first, the soldier hurriedly reported:

"Marshal, the Song army is out of the city."

Yeluren hurriedly climbed the wall and looked around.

Seeing that overnight, as far as the eye could see, there was a glorious ice surface all around, and he couldn't help but turn pale and his heart was cold.

He already knew Cao Bin's plan......
