A subordinate general next to him mocked: "Those troops were all put together improvised by the Taishi, and it is said that in order to ensure loyalty, a considerable number of officers among them are scholars. With such an army, it can beat the wolf-like Yan Yun army to be called a ghost! Cao Yong sighed, and couldn't help but think of what his younger brother Cao Hu had said to him, and now he felt even more reasonable, feeling that if he didn't want to repay His Majesty's kindness, I am afraid that he would not be able to help but go to Yanyun at this moment!

Shaking his head, he put these chaotic thoughts behind him, and asked the general next to him, "Is there any latest information coming?" The general shook his head, "I haven't received the last report since I received it two days ago. ”

Cao Yong couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, frowned and muttered, "I hope Your Majesty is fine!" The general pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

The army climbed the mountain and marched towards the camp. At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the mountain, and the soldiers of the Song army were startled, and they couldn't help but stop and look at the mountain. I saw countless soldiers appear on the cottage, and a big flag was erected, waving in the wind, embroidered with the pattern of a winged flying tiger. When the soldiers of the Song army saw the two-winged flying tiger battle flag, they were shocked, and their heads were stunned on the spot as if they had short-circuited, and they couldn't figure out what happened for a while.

Suddenly, the war drums on the mountain thundered loudly! Immediately, the rolling stones and sassals poured down like a torrent, and the soldiers of the Song army were so frightened that they ran backwards, but the mountain road was rugged and steep, and many people fell down the mountain or rolled down the hillside, and the Song army was in a mess! In an instant, the torrent composed of rolling stones and trees crashed into the middle of the Song army, and in the rumbling sound, the Song army soldiers were constantly swept in; Screams and loud noises, flesh and blood flying.

After everything calmed down, only corpses were strewn across the steep hillside, and the soldiers of the Song army under the mountain turned pale. Cao Yong looked at the camp on the mountain and muttered in shock: "This, what the hell is going on?" How did Yan Yunjun appear here? At this point, he was suddenly shocked and exclaimed, "Not good! ”

As if in response to his words, a huge shout suddenly came from the east, and I saw tens of thousands of Yan Yun Xiaorui pouring out of the woods and killing straight towards this side! The soldiers of the Song Army, who had not yet recovered from the shock just now, suddenly saw such a scene, and couldn't help but be shocked! Cao Yong frowned, pulled out his sword, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to fight!" The soldiers of the Song army couldn't help but settle down when they heard Cao Yong's shouts, and subconsciously began to line up to prepare for battle!

However, the incident was in a hurry, and the Song army was on the march, so it was too late to prepare for the war, and the Yanyun army had already rushed up. Cao Yong had no choice but to lead the army to rush head-on, and the armies of the two sides slammed into each other and fought a big battle!

Just when the two sides were inseparable, a huge shout suddenly came from the west, and nearly 100,000 troops surged! At this time, Song Jun's attention was all on Yan Yunjun in the east, but unexpectedly, more Yan Yunjun rushed out from the west, and he panicked! Cao Yong hurriedly ordered a large army to go out to meet the battle, but he didn't expect that with this order, his own army would be even more chaotic!

Under the leadership of Duan Zhixian, the 100,000 Yanyun army fiercely entered the middle of the Song army, killing the Song army's flesh and blood, and marching forward bravely. The Song army couldn't resist and retreated, but the Yan Yun army became more and more courageous. Eventually, the Song army retreated in defeat to the north. Yan Yun's rank and tail pursued and killed until the city of Chenzhou, and surrounded the Song army in the city of Chenzhou.

Cao Yong and the others were shocked, and a general said with a puzzled expression: "Why did there come so many Yan Yun troops, it seems that there are almost 200,000 people!" Another general said: "The strangest thing is that how could they ambush here, and the military fortress on Qitian Ridge was actually captured by them!" ”……。 The generals discussed for a while, and then they all closed their mouths and looked at Generalissimo Wu Jue.

Cao Yong frowned tightly and muttered, "It seems that the enemy has transferred all the main forces of the four legions!" Hearing this, the generals nodded in unison, feeling that only by gathering all four legions could they explain the current situation.

Cao Yong muttered: "The enemy army obviously expected that our army would return to the Guangnan East Road in a big way, so they set up such a plan. It seems that their previous retreat was also fake, it was just a ploy to lure the enemy deeper! At this point, I couldn't help but feel palpitations when I thought of the depth of my opponent's intentions.

After running his thoughts there for a while, he asked a general: "How many soldiers and horses are left in our army?" How much grain and grass are left? The general hugged his fists and said: "Just now we were attacked by the Yanyun army, and our army lost nearly half, and there are still 1120,000 soldiers and horses left. But all the grain and grass have been destroyed, and now we have only enough grain and grass to last for three days. ”

Cao Yong frowned, and said secretly: "I didn't expect the loss to be so big, even bigger than I expected!" How good is that? Thinking of Liu Guangshi's army, he asked, "Hasn't Liu Guangshi captured Hongzhou yet?" In Cao Yong's mind, if Liu Guangshi captured Hongzhou and the army marched westward, three days would be enough for his side, and the Yanyun army outside the city would not be able to stay for a long time, and it was inevitable to divide heavy troops to deal with Liu Guangshi's army.

The general shook his head and said: "According to the news I just got, Liu Guangshi's army has not yet captured Hongzhou, and Hongzhou is still in the hands of Yan Yunjun!" ”

Cao Yong couldn't help but get anxious. The general said: "According to the latest information, the two princesses of King Yan who are guarding Hongzhou, one is called Ye Yu Hanyu and the other is called Yang Erya, both of whom were once bandit leaders, and later followed King Yan and made countless contributions to King Yan. Liu Guangshi wants to seize Hongzhou in their hands, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing! ”

Cao Yong frowned and nodded, and muttered, "It seems that you can only break through!" After a pause, he said to the generals: "Break through tonight, go north, and go to meet Liu Guangshi!" The generals glanced at each other, and one of the generals hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, the Yanyun army has been in battle for a long time, and Yelu Hanyu was a well-known general in Liao before following King Yan, I'm afraid it won't prevent us from breaking through?" ”

Cao Yong frowned and said, "How can I not know these situations!" But we don't have a chance! Our army has just been defeated, and has retreated into the city with heavy losses, according to the general situation, even if you want to break through, you have to rest and recuperate, and there is no reason to attack and break through that night! That Yelu Hanyu must have thought the same way, but I did the opposite and caught her off guard! The generals felt that what Cao Yong said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but clench their fists and say: "Handsome and wise!" Cao Yong glanced at the generals and ordered: "You go down and prepare, and break through in the middle of the night today!" The generals agreed in unison, and one of the generals said worriedly: "Breaking through in such a hurry, I'm afraid it will become chaos!" Cao Yong said categorically: "I can't take care of so much now!" If we are confused, the enemy army will be even more chaotic! ”

Night fell. In the middle of the night, the north gate slowly opened, and a general led 10,000 elites as the vanguard, quietly left the city, and headed towards the Yanyun military camp in front of him, which was located in the dark night. At the same time, Wu Jue personally assembled the army, preparing to wait until the vanguard succeeded, and then the whole army would be killed, breaking through the encirclement of Yan Yun's army in one fell swoop.

Cao Yong stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the shadowy Yanyun military camp outside the city, his palm tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and his lips pursed tightly. The general next to him was even more nervous than him.

Time has never been so slow, every minute seems like a year. Finally, the sound of fighting broke the silence of the night, and I saw the shadow of the Yanyun army in the distance. Cao Yong and the others were overjoyed, and one of them couldn't help but shout: "Attacked!" Cao Yong immediately ordered: "The army is attacking!" Several generals answered the promise and rushed down to give the order.

Cao Yong was also about to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard an even louder shout, which instantly drowned out the shouts of his own soldiers. Cao Yong was taken aback, and quickly stopped and looked towards the Yanyun military camp, and saw that the Yanyun army suddenly appeared in all directions, enveloping his own forward troops. Cao Yong was shocked.

At this moment, a dull roar suddenly came from outside the city, like rolling thunder. Wu Jue's face changed, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Close the city gate quickly!" Close the gates! The soldiers at the city gate suddenly heard Wu Jue's shout, and they were really startled, and they didn't think about it, and quickly closed the city gate according to the order. Almost at the same time as the city gate was just closed, countless war horses rushed out of the darkness outside the city and appeared in front of the city gate, and the soldiers of the Song army on the city wall suddenly saw such a scene, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then rejoiced, feeling that if it wasn't for the marshal's timely order to close the city gate, Yan Yunjun might have broken into the city at this moment! Thinking that Yan Yunjun not only had a complete insight into the big marshal's strategy, but also almost broke into the city like a ghost, everyone couldn't help but panic.

Yan Yun saw that the city gate was closed in time and there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he roared, turned his horse's head, and left. The rumbling hooves soon fell silent. Cao Yong stared at the camp in the distance, listening to the screams of his own soldiers, his heart was like a knife, but he couldn't do anything in the face of such a situation. Tianwei! Suddenly, Cao Yong only felt that Yan Yunjun, as an opponent, was really like Tianwei, invincible!

After about a stick of incense, the screams of the fighting outside the city fell silent. A subordinate general said with a pale face: "In just one stick of incense, can 10,000 soldiers and horses be wiped out!?" The generals were also terrified. Cao Yong turned his head and ordered: "The whole army is strictly guarded, without my order, no one is allowed to fight without authorization, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" All the generals agreed, and they all looked weak.

Cao Yong returned to the temporary camp. This temporary camp is the prefect's yamen in Chenzhou, and now it has become Cao Yong's camp. Cao Yong walked to the top and sat down, frowning and looking at the ground in front of him in a daze. Not long ago, my side was still in a very favorable situation, but I didn't expect such an earth-shattering reversal to happen in an instant, which is really unacceptable! Cao Yong snorted angrily, took a deep breath, concentrated on how to deal with the current situation, and muttered, "Although the situation is not good, it is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory. At least Yan Yun's main force is pinned down here, and it is impossible to support Hongzhou before destroying our army! Liu Guangshi's 200,000 soldiers and horses have attacked Hongzhou for so many days, presumably Hongzhou will be broken at any time! As long as our army insists on breaking the city of Hongzhou, the main force of Yanyun outside the city will inevitably retreat, so that our army will not only be relieved of the crisis, but also take the opportunity to counterattack, and it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory! At this point, Cao Yong's eyes showed a ray of hope.

At the same time, the three generals came to the prison room. In the Song Dynasty, or in the Central Plains Dynasty, the animal of the supervising army has existed for thousands of years, and the reason why the emperor sent the supervising army was to supervise the army to fight, but in fact it was to monitor the actions of the army, especially the actions of the main general, to prevent the main general from using the army in his hands to rebel. Therefore, in many cases, the overseers have more power than the commander-in-chief, and can even arrest the commander-in-chief and take over the command when they think it is urgent. The name of the supervisor in Cao Yong's army is Zhao Quan, a Confucian student in his thirties, a member of the royal family, and Zhao Heng's uncle if you talk about backup.

The three generals saw Zhao Quan, who was sitting at the top, and bowed together: "Lord Supervisor! Zhao Quan pointed to the three chairs on the left, "Three generals, please take a seat." The three generals clasped their fists in thanks, walked to the chair on the left, and sat down. These three people, named Long Cheng, Fang Yue, and Li Shanhe, were the three important generals in the army.

Zhao Quan glanced at the three of them and asked, "Three generals, don't you have any views on the current situation?" The three generals glanced at each other and sighed in unison. Li Shanhe hugged his fists and said: "My lord, I can't hide it, now the situation is really sinister and abnormal, and our army has fallen into a desperate situation!" The Yanyun army is scheming, our army has encountered an ambush and suffered heavy losses, with the current situation, not to mention that it is impossible to fight against the Yanyun tiger wolf outside the city, I am afraid that this food and grass problem will completely defeat us in a few days! The other two generals nodded sympathetically, and Long Cheng said: "Our army has no hope of victory!" ”

Zhao Quan frowned tightly and said, "But Liu Guangshi's army is storming Hongzhou, if Hongzhou can be captured, can't we get out of trouble?" The three generals glanced at each other, Fang Yue hugged his fists and said, "My lord, with all due respect, it is unbelievable to say that Liu Guangshi can break through the fortified city guarded by Princess Yanyun!" The other two nodded involuntarily.

Zhao Quan frowned and asked, "In other words, it is impossible for us to hold out until Liu Guangshi breaks through Hongzhou?" The three generals glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, they really thought so in their hearts, but it was difficult to speak. Seeing that the three generals didn't speak, Zhao Quan frowned, and asked angrily, "Why don't you answer my words?" ”

The three of them were stunned, and Li Shanhe hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the last general doesn't know how to answer!" Zhao Quan said: "To tell the truth, you don't have to worry about anything, at this moment, I just want to listen to your heart!" When the three generals heard this, the worries in their hearts couldn't help but be dispelled, Fang Yue hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to hide it, the last general really thinks that it is impossible for us to hold out until Liu Guangshi breaks through Hongzhou!" Li Shanhe continued: "In fact, the last general is also skeptical about whether Liu Guangshi can break through Hongzhou. Long Cheng nodded, agreeing with his words.

Zhao Quan lowered his head and pondered. The third general looked at Zhao Quan, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, guessing the purpose of the prison lord saying such a thing to himself. After a while, Zhao Quan raised his head, glanced at the three generals, and asked, "If there is a way to get out of the current danger and still maintain the current position, are you willing to do it?" The three generals were all a little surprised, and Li Shanhe hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "If there is a way for the adults to get out of danger, the last general will definitely obey the order!" The other two generals hesitated slightly, and also clenched their fists and said: "The last general must also obey the order!" ”

Zhao Quan said: "This method is actually very simple! Immediately said what he thought in his heart, and the three generals were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhao Quan saw that the three generals hesitated, and said angrily: "Do you want to sit still?" If you die, it will be fine, but on whom shall the parents, wives, and children of the family depend? The three generals were shocked and frowned. Li Shanhe showed a resolute look, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to follow the adult!" The other two generals also clasped their fists and said: "The last general is also willing to obey the orders of adults!" Zhao Quan was overjoyed, "Very good!" Without further ado, let's do it now! Then he gave careful instructions to the three generals, and the three generals hugged their fists and promised, and hurriedly went down.

Cao Yong looked at the map and thought about a way to break the enemy and get out of trouble, but he couldn't think of a feasible way. Before I knew it, I was sleepy and fell asleep on the bookcase.

"Handsome! Handsome! ......" Cao Yong heard the shouting and woke up. When he raised his head, he saw Zhao Quan, the prison army, and Long Cheng, the general of his subordinates, leading dozens of people standing in front of him, and he was surprised in his heart, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Quan said: "Dashuai, if you look like today, the destiny of heaven is no longer understood!" It is inevitable that Yan Yun will dominate the world, we must not disobey the mandate of heaven, and we should obey the heavens and serve Yan Yun! ”

Cao Yong was shocked, and then pointed at Zhao Quan's nose and shouted angrily: "Do you want to rebel? Then he looked at Long Cheng and said bitterly: "Long Cheng, I originally thought you were a good man with blood and responsibility, but why would you do such a thing of betraying the Lord and seeking glory!" Long Cheng felt guilty in his heart, didn't dare to look at Cao Yong's eyes, and lowered his head.

Zhao Quan said angrily: "Cao Yong, there is no need to talk about these big truths!" If you want to talk about the big truth, why not talk about the interests of our Chinese people? The Zhao Song official family is just a family, and we can't sacrifice the interests of our entire Huaxia clan for the sake of the interests of the Zhao and Song official families! Only when the entire south submits to Yanyun is the most beneficial choice for our Huaxia clan! Only in this way can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the aliens will have no chance! If the official family of Zhao and Song still sits on the world, and the people are oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are abused by foreign races, Cao Yong, you swear allegiance to Zhao and Song, aren't you persecuting the people of the world? ”

Cao Yong's heart was shocked, he only felt depressed in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe, he had the heart to refute, but he couldn't refute it at all, what Zhao Quan said was the truth, under the rule of Zhao Song, the people suffered from the oppression of corrupt officials and excessive taxes, but in the end, Zhao Song, who took advantage of the people, did nothing in the face of the invasion of foreign races, and the emperor and the court only cared about their own escape for a corner of safety, but they completely ignored the fallen Central Plains and the people in the midst of water and fire. Zhao Song has already stood on the opposite side of the Chinese people, and loyalty to Zhao Song is to destroy the people, which is not an exaggeration!

Long Cheng said: "Marshal, what Lord Supervisor said is right!" Cao Yong frowned, glared and shouted: "If a person is unfaithful, how can he stand!" Long Cheng didn't dare to refute and lowered his head. Zhao Quan smiled coldly, "You are really stubborn!" Turning his head to Long Chengdao: "Arrest Cao Yong!" Long Cheng looked at Cao Yong and didn't dare to make a move.

Cao Yong glared at Long Cheng and shouted: "Long Cheng, whether it is a stinking for 10,000 years or a name in history, it is in your thoughts!" You have to think about it! Long Cheng hesitated, not knowing what to do. Seeing Long Cheng's hesitation, Zhao Quan couldn't help but worry, and shouted: "Long Cheng, if you die here, who should take care of your parents, wife and children!" Long Cheng's heart was shocked, and then his eyes froze, and he hugged his fist at Cao Yong and said, "Dashuai, I'm sorry!" Then he waved his hand and shouted, "Take it!" When the cronies and sergeants beside him heard this, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to take Cao Yong. Cao Yong glared and shouted: "Who dares? All the sergeants were frightened by Cao Courage's momentum, and they stopped and did not dare to step forward.

Long Cheng shouted at the sergeants: "Take him down!" After receiving Long Cheng's strict order, the sergeants immediately stepped forward and tied up Cao Yong, who was trying to resist. Cao Yong scolded endlessly, while Zhao Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smug look in his eyes.

Cao Yong looked at Zhao Quan and said angrily: "Zhao Quan, as a descendant of the Zhao family, you betrayed the Zhao family because of unfilial piety!" As a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, he betrayed the Great Song Dynasty for disloyalty! You, a disloyal and unfilial person, have the face to stand between heaven and earth! ”

Zhao Quan smiled coldly, "Don't talk about your set!" If you really want to talk about the truth, I can say that you Cao Yong is a foolish and loyal minister, a puppet who aids in abuse, and a bastard who sells his reputation and disregards the life and death of the people! Cao was so brave that he almost vomited blood, but he was speechless.

Zhao Quan waved his hand impatiently, "Drag it down, lock it up." Wait for Princess Yelu to come and send it! The sergeants dragged Cao Yong down, and Cao Yong scolded arrogantly. The scolding faded away, and before long, it was no longer heard. The dragon let out a long sigh.

Zhao Quan said to Long Cheng: "Quickly bring Cao Yong's handsome seal!" Long Cheng answered, ran to the back of the bookcase, took the handsome seal, and handed it to Zhao Quan with both hands. Zhao Quan followed the handsome seal and said with a smile: "Okay! With the handsome seal, you can command the three armies! Turning his head to Long Chengdao: "Immediately order the three armies to assemble on the colonel field in the city!" Long Cheng clenched his fists and promised, and ran down.

In the middle ......of the night, the drums of the delegates suddenly sounded loudly. The officers and men of the army were very surprised, and immediately rushed towards the large school field.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
