Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bad News
Feng Jingquan heard this, but hesitated: "But between my Liang and the Liao Kingdom, there is the Flying Cloud Stream, which has caused my Liang Iron Cavalry to break several times, how can I go south smoothly today?" ”
Qu Huaier sneered: "Your Majesty needs to know the truth that people will conquer the sky, and the so-called heavenly moat depends on who is the leader of the troops on both sides." Dare to ask Your Majesty, if Ye Baiye's army is the main attack, and the Liao general A Shan crossbow guards the Feiyun Stream, what are the chances of Liang Guo winning? Without waiting for Feng Jingquan to speak, he replied to himself, "There is no doubt that he will be defeated!" But if it is replaced by Ashan's crossbow for the main attack, Ye Baiye will lead his troops to guard, and what will be the victory? At least between five and five. Therefore, the reason why Feiyunjian is so feared by His Majesty is that in the past ten years, the generals sent to attack Feiyunjian are not as good as Ashan's crossbow, and the army has suffered defeat, and when facing the saint, he always has to find a reason to deal with the past, which will make Feiyunjian so miraculous, according to the old man's opinion, if it is replaced by Li Jian or any one of Wei Qing, he can have the strength to fight. ”
Feng Jingquan asked cautiously: "Could it be that the emperor meant that he wanted me to send these two people to lead troops to attack the Liao State?" But these two people are the only remaining good generals in Daliang today, and they both went south to attack and heal, in case Chu State took the opportunity to send troops to attack my Daliang, how should they resist? ”
Qu Huaier said with a smile: "Famous generals and famous generals are nothing more than to annihilate more troops of the enemy in the shortest possible time with the smallest battle damage, for the Liang State, with the strength of half the country, it will inevitably be able to destroy the Liao State in a short time, and Wei Qing, as the most brilliant general in the young faction, knows the truth of the speed of the soldiers, Your Majesty can act like this..."

On the eighth day of June in the 14th year of Yonghong, Li Jian, the king of Liang Guoqing, re-put on his armor and hung the seal, served as the commander of the three armies, and Wei Qing served as the deputy general, and the two led the 400,000 troops of the Liang State to open the Golden Wolf City in Yongzhou. After getting the news, Chen Xiong, the king of Chu, ordered Baili Jin to lead 300,000 troops to the border to prevent a large-scale attack by the army of Liang.
On June 12, Baili Jin led the army to arrive outside the city of the Hundred Divisions, and the army camped on the spot, and Baili Jin only rode into the city with Liu Huailiang, and was personally received by Ma Gui, an old subordinate who stayed in the city. When the three of them returned to the general's mansion in the city, Bai Li Jin asked: "According to intelligence, Liang Guo is personally led by Li Jian with 400,000 troops, and the army has reached Golden Wolf City, is the news reliable?" ”
Ma Gui hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the general, the Golden Wolf City has been completely blocked three days ago, and the people in the city are not allowed to enter and exit, even if it is birds and beasts, once they go out of the city, they will be shot immediately, and the spies lurking in the city will not be able to pass on the accurate news, and our department has also sent several groups of scouts to inquire about the military situation in the past few days, but they were all ambushed by the Liang army halfway, and the brothers were killed and wounded, but they did not even bring back a useful information, and now the last general does not know whether the news is true." ”
Baili Jin turned his head to look at Liu Huailiang and pleaded: "Now that the news is blocked, ordinary soldiers can't get close to the Golden Wolf City, there is Lord Lao Liu to go in person, if Li Jian really leads the army to come, we can also be prepared, if Liang Guo is just bluffing, now my army has a total of 420,000, I can go all the way south, eat the Golden Wolf City first, and then take advantage of the situation to defeat the entire Yongzhou!" ”
Liu Huailiang said with a smile: "Then take the first step in the next step, please wait for the general." ”
One person and one ride, leaving the Hundred Divisions City and heading to the Golden Wolf City of Yongzhou. For Liu Huailiang, only Li Xian and Yang Xiu are slightly better than themselves in the Liang Dynasty, unless these two people are waiting for the rabbit in the city and joining forces to deal with him, otherwise even if Liang Guozhen has 400,000 troops in the city, as long as he does not go deep alone and wants to leave at any time, no one can stop him.
Approaching the Golden Wolf City, he saw a large army camped outside the city, Liu Huailiang knew that he was weak and weak, and it was not suitable to clash head-on. Although he and Sikong Li won a complete victory in that battle and left a name in history, he also suffered a lot of internal injuries, but he had a strong nature and was unwilling to admit defeat in front of others, so he survived.
Although it is not possible, Liu Huailiang came today mainly to spy on the military situation, and went around the city from afar, only to see that there were large armies stationed on all sides of the Golden Wolf City, and it was roughly estimated that there should be 120,000 horses outside the city, plus the defenders in the city, and if the information was true, he rode back to the city. As everyone knows, there is a person hiding in the dark on the city tower, always paying attention to Liu Huailiang's movements.
After it was confirmed that Liu Huailiang had returned to the Hundred Divisions City, the man in the shadows walked down the city tower, came to a middle-aged general, hugged his fists and bowed down: "General Qiqi Ye, I think that Liu Huailiang has been confused by the illusion outside the city, and now he has returned to the Hundred Divisions City to prepare for his life, everything is in the plan." ”
If the Liao State Ashan crossbow was present, he would definitely be surprised why Ye Baiye, who had been stationed in Heding City in Jingzhou all year round, would suddenly appear here.
Ye Baiye said with a smile: "There is a hero of Lao Zhan, you and I are working together for the first time, and when this happens, we will definitely get drunk!" ”
The Zhan hero in Ye Baiye's mouth is Zhan Yunfei, a master of the Tang Sect in Shu, who was recruited by Yang Xiu not long ago and returned to the court of the Liang State. This time he went out with the army, specifically to deal with Liu Huailiang.
Zhan Yunfei smiled when he heard this: "Then Zhan Mou is waiting to be drunk with General Ye and not return!" ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After sending Zhan Yunfei away, Ye Baiye climbed the steps, stepped on the city tower, looked at the desert scenery not far away that was completely different from Heding City, and praised sincerely: "Your Majesty is really a god, and he is like a god." ”
It turned out that after Feng Jingquan secretly met with Qu Huaier that day, he was instructed by the master to release the news and deliberately leak it to Chu and Liao, it is true that Li Jian is in command, and it is also true that he led the army to the battle, but the person who led the troops in Golden Wolf City was not Li Jian, the victorious general of Liang State, and the army was only 200,000 instead of the rumored 400,000. The truth is that Ye Baiye rushed to the northern battlefield, led a large army to enter the Golden Wolf City, and vigorously built a military tent outside the city, creating a false impression that the Chu State was strong, and at the same time, Li Jian and Wei Qing each led an army of 150,000 to rush to the aid of Heding City with the momentum of thunder, not giving the two countries a chance to react, gathering the strength of 100,000 garrisons in the city, a total of 400,000 troops, crossing the Feiyun Stream, and annihilating the Liao State in one fell swoop. For this reason, Ye Baiye quickly whipped his horse and killed no less than three thousand-mile horses, just to create the illusion that the State of Liang was preparing to attack the State of Chu on a large scale, and at the same time to buy a little more time for Li Jian and Wei Qing.
After returning to Baishi City, Liu Huailiang brought the information back, and Baili Jin frowned when he heard this: "It seems that Liang Guo is determined to compete with Da Chu, Ma Gui, pass on my military order, strengthen the fortifications, and send more night patrols to prevent Liang Dog from attacking at any time." ”
————
But after a few days, the fortifications in the city of the hundred divisions have been prepared, everyone's heartstrings are tense, and there is still no movement in the Golden Wolf City, and Baili Jin can't guess what medicine is sold in Liang Jun's gourd for a while, and when he is about to send someone to investigate, a figure with a strong smell of blood falls from the sky and slams on the city tower, with a middle-aged scribe who is breathing weakly behind him.
Hearing the movement, Bai Li Jin and Liu Huailiang hurriedly walked out to check, and after seeing the faces of the people who came, they exclaimed in unison: "King Liao!" ”
