Wan Jianfeng saw that the spy had been in the back office for a long time, but still hadn't come out, so he simply said to Cui Yanjin: "Master Cui, you are also an official, and everyone is discussing the war inside, why don't you go in and sum it up?" ”

Cui Yanjin sighed and muttered in a low voice: "Alas, if the official doesn't enter, they will set up a formation according to the will of the official, what difference can it be?" The official family has been doing things more and more wanton recently, I really don't know if he was bewitched by traitors, or he is old and confused! ”

While the two were talking, a majestic general walked out of the back office, he walked out in a hurry, bowed slightly to Cui Yanjin, and then walked quickly towards the direction of the city wall. Wan Jianfeng glanced at this general and asked, "Lord Cui, who is this person?" ”

Cui Yanjin said intentionally or unintentionally: "This person's name is Liu Yanhan, who originally led troops in Dingzhou, and recently came to Mancheng to help in the war by the holy order of the official family, and now he is stationed on the bank of the Xu River. After he finished speaking, he reacted, and glanced at Wan Jianfeng, "Dao Chief, this official is not destined today, and the people you want to release will wait until the battle of Mancheng is over, it's okay, you can go back!" ”

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said, "Master Cui, this Dao chief not only knows how to calculate hexagrams and read appearances, but also is a half-way to lead troops to fight. If you really want to defeat the Liao army, take me in with you, and I will give you an idea. ”

Cui Yanjin looked Wan Jianfeng up and down a few times, and asked, "Is this true?" You can't be a spy sent by the Liao State to spy on the military, right? ”

Wan Jianfeng turned his head and said coldly: "Guess accurately!" This Taoist is a spy sent by the Liao State, you can arrest me at any time, you can kill the head or crack the car at any time! ”

Cui Yanjin smiled when he saw this, "You're right, even if you are a spy, this official has 10,000 ways to deal with you." Let's go, let's go to the back hall to have a look, if you dare to make a ghost, today next year will be your sacrifice day! Wan Jianfeng nodded fearlessly, and walked briskly towards the back office with Cui Yanjin.

The two of them walked all the way to the three halls behind the county office. This was originally the place where the county governor tried the case secretly, but at this moment, under the command of several generals, all the things that got in the way were removed, leaving only a long table, a few chairs, and a very realistic sand table.

At this time, the door was half-open and half-hidden, and the light in the room was still bright. Cui Yanjin pushed the door and walked in, and Wan Jianfeng also followed closely behind him, his eyes constantly observing the surrounding scene. I saw that there were four generals sitting in the room at this time, all of them were dressed in military uniforms, although they looked different, the look between their eyebrows was like a great enemy.

I saw Li Hanqiong, who was sitting on the left, taking the lead and saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have something to say!" Now that the Liao army is only a dozen miles away from here, how can we fight against the 100,000 Liao army with the brave and brave Liao army? ”

Cui Han, who was sitting in the middle, pointed to the formation diagram on the table and said: "The formation diagram of the official family is here, we can only set up the formation according to the will of the official family, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the will, not only will we be killed, but I am afraid that the whole family will also suffer!" ”

Li Hanqiong shook his head and said, "Master Cui, this formation diagram seems to be mysterious, but it may not be feasible in practice. Each of the eight phalanxes was more than a mile apart, and once the Liao army was not divided into eight formations, but surged together, wouldn't we be sure of defeat? ”

Liu Yanhan insisted: "General Li, at this time, the will of the official family, do you dare to resist the will?" ”

Li Hanqiong sighed helplessly, "Alas, the official family attacked Yanyun for no reason before, and now they have issued such a ridiculous formation, I really don't know what he thinks!" ”

Cui Han listened to Li Hanqiong's words and couldn't help glaring at him, "General Li, you are talking about the official family like this, is it possible that you are tired of being alive?" ”

Li Hanqiong said coldly: "It's just a death, isn't it okay to be happy before you die?" Don't think that if you are the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, the official family will always favor you, if the official family really thinks of your good, how can they send you to accompany us to send your life? ”

Cui Han slammed the hammer on the table and shouted, "Li Hanqiong, you are so bold!" Now that the enemy is present, this official will not quarrel with you, and after this battle is over, I will definitely go to the official family to sue you! ”

Li Jilong, who had been silent, smiled bitterly, "Two generals, do you still know the current enemy?" It was deliberated for most of the day, and there was not even a word of useful advice. If you keep fighting like this, what use is there except for delaying time, can you say that the Liao army will not succeed? ”

Cui Han and Li Hanqiong sighed when they heard this, and both closed their mouths. Cui Yanjin also moved a chair at this time, sat next to the three of them, and said, "Three, you have been discussing here for an hour, why haven't you argued a result until now?" ”

Liu Yanhan pointed to the formation diagram helplessly and said, "General Cui, now that the formation diagram is here, can't you see the crux of it?" If we arrange the formation according to the map, I am afraid that we may not be able to defeat the Liao army, but we will reap the consequences. If you don't set up the formation according to this map, you will inevitably bear the name of resisting the order, and you will die left and right! ”

Cui Yan sighed and said, "Alas, General Ben originally wanted to come here to make contributions, but if he knew this, he should have said that he was sick and continued to guard Guannan." ”

Cui Han smiled bitterly and said, "Who said it wasn't?" I don't want to stay in Beijing, I have nothing to do with such drudgery, I would not have come if I had known! ”

The four of you complained repeatedly, and they didn't seem to see Wan Jianfeng at the door at all. Wan Jianfeng cleared his throat and was about to step forward to say a few words, when Zhao Yanjin walked into the room quickly, pretending to be calm: "The Liao army will immediately come to the city, I have already asked the soldiers to line up according to the formation map to meet the enemy according to Lord Liu, but it is just ......"

Cui Yanjin hurriedly asked with luck: "General Liu, what is the formation of the Liao army?" Is it really coming according to the eight formations? ”

Zhao Yanjin shook his head and said: "The Liao army is a long snake formation, spanning east and west, boundless. I didn't see it clearly when I stood at the head of the city, but I vaguely heard the sound of a large number of horses' hooves, presumably the Liao army dispatched the most elite iron cavalry this time. ”

When Cui Yanjin heard this, he said with a bitter face: "General Liu, since the Liao army is killed according to the long snake formation, and there are a large number of iron cavalry, why do you still order the formation according to the map, now we will definitely be defeated." General Ben doesn't want to die yet, so he's leaving! As he spoke, his legs trembled, and he staggered out of the house.

Wan Jianfeng hurriedly followed him out of the room, grabbed his arm, and whispered a few words in Cui Yanjin's ear. Cui Yanjin's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, showed a smug smile, arched his hand towards Wan Jianfeng, and ran out of the county office quickly.
