As the sun set, the Liao army retreated, and the bones piled up outside the entire Lanyuan County. A few jackdaws swept by, making a desolate and piercing cry, adding to the sadness. Shen Guhong rode a red horse, stood with the remaining two hundred soldiers under Lanyuan County, watching the slowly setting sunset, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. War has always been like this, human life is too fragile, maybe only after death, there is no distinction between the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, they are just ordinary mortals.

"Go back to the city!" In Shen Guhong's voice, there were also endless vicissitudes, he walked in front, and many soldiers walked behind, walking with their backs to the sunset.

After this battle, the Liao army suffered relatively more casualties, but Shen Guhong was not happy. The 100,000 forbidden troops brought by the county, but now there are more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and in the long run, I am afraid that Lanyuan County will really not be able to hold it.

On the third day after the war, Shen Guhong was thinking about his next move. Wang Beichuan's voice came from outside: "Shen Shuai, it's a good thing, it's a good thing!"

Shen Guhong stood up, opened the door and came out, and saw Wang Beichuan leading Su Yi into the courtyard, and saw Su Yi carrying a dark iron box on his back, so he knew that it was his Lingbao Bow and Wind Chasing Arrow that had been found.

"The things are returned to their original owners, I hope you can use them on the battlefield!" Su Yi handed over the blackiron box. Shen Guhong took the box and took out the wind-chasing arrow and the spirit treasure bow inside, and the feeling of an old friend who had only met after a long time of isolation suddenly appeared.

"This thing is definitely useful on the battlefield, thank you very much!" Shen Guhong picked up the Spirit Treasure Bow, and the feeling of being one was extremely strong.

Su Yi smiled: "What's polite, by the way, you have won a few battles at the border pass, and now inside and outside the government and the opposition, you have great respect for the title of Divine Arrow Prince, I'm afraid it is better than Hua Feiyu back then." ”

Shen Guhong said: "Fame and fortune are not important, I am just doing what I should do!"

Wang Beichuan glanced at the spirit treasure bow and said, "I heard that this bow is very spiritual, either its owner picks it up or weighs more than 10,000 catties, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Su Yi said: "I can testify to this, Tian Wenzhou and a few of them opened the box, but they couldn't even pick up the bow." Ghost-faced Yama has also tried, but it also can't be used!"

"Is it really so amazing?" Wang Beichuan obviously didn't believe it.

Shen Guhong smiled: "Elder Wang can try!"

Wang Beichuan used all his strength to grab the Lingbao bow, and the muscles on his arms suddenly tensed, as if he was grasping a mountain. He barely held the Lingbao Bow, the green tendons on his forehead had already flared up, and he hurriedly returned the Lingbao Bow to Shen Guhong, and said, "The wonders of this world, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe it?"

Shen Guhong said: "Back then, General Fei Li Guang used it to leave a famous name on the battlefield, of course I want to make it shine again!"

Wang Beichuan nodded: "With the treasure bow and arrow in hand, as long as Xiao Tzulan is shot, the war between the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes, and when the time comes, it will not be a dream to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun!"

Shen Guhong put the Lingbao bow and the wind-chasing arrow into the Xuantie box, put it on his back, and said, "It's okay today, I invite you to drink!"

Wang Beichuan said with a smile: "If you look for the dishes made by that girl again, it will be the best!"

Shen Guhong smiled: "Wang Lao has spoken, so what else can I say?"

Mi Fang spends her days either cooking and doing needlework. At that moment, she came out of the house and said, "Elder Wang has a request, then I have to do a few tricks today." ”

When Wang Beichuan heard this, he immediately laughed. At this time, Yingting, Xiao Qing, Tie Feng, Mo Qingfeng and others all returned. Mo Qingfeng heard Wang Beichuan's hearty laughter, and also smiled: "What happy thing has happened to Wang Lao?"

Wang Beichuan said: "Is it a joy to be able to eat the dishes made by the girl who is looking for Fang?"

Mo Qingfeng nodded: "It seems that it is the right time for us to come back." ”

Su Yi is the first time to join Shen Guhong's dinner table, indeed, Mi Fang's craftsmanship is not said, but that kind of warm and harmonious atmosphere is the most rare. After the meal, Shen Guhong and Yingting, Mo Qingfeng, Yingting, and Wang Beichuan began to discuss major events on the battlefield again.

Mo Qingfeng said: "Those hundred people have been successfully trained, how do you use them?"

Shen Guhong said: "Naturally, it is of great use, I will personally parade the army tonight, if it really becomes the climate, then I think we don't have to be passive on defense, but take the initiative to attack!"

When Mo Qingfeng, Wang Beichuan and the others heard this, they were all shocked, and Yingting said: "Take the initiative to attack? With our troops, how can we defeat the Liao army? Do you rely on those 100 people?"

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "If I don't rely on those hundred people, I will train hard for a month, so what?"

Mo Qingfeng said: "What plan do you have, just say it!"

Shen Guhong said: "I heard that Yelu Longxu and Empress Dowager Xiao are in Dingzhou, if I send an army to attack Dingzhou, what decision do you think Xiao Rin will make?"

When Mo Qingfeng and the others heard this, they were shocked again, Shen Guhong's decision was not bold. After all, the current strength of Lanyuan County is insufficient, if the troops are divided to Dingzhou again, and the Liao army takes advantage of this to attack, then the Great Song Dynasty will be over.

"This move is too risky, you have to think twice!" Mo Qingfeng said.

Shen Guhong said: "During this period of time, I have inquired clearly, the defenders of Dingzhou are weak, and it is not difficult to take them down after a long-distance attack. ”

Wang Beichuan said: "You mean, just let these 100 people attack Dingzhou? Even if they can be a hundred, there is also a Dingzhou City, they can't take it!"

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "Of course, it is really impossible to rely on a hundred people to defeat Dingzhou, I just let them run to Dingzhou, let Xiao Rin know that I sent most of the men and horses to Dingzhou!"

"I still don't understand what you mean!" Wang Beichuan said.

Shen Guhong said: "If Wang Lao is Xiao Rin, and learns that I sent an army to Dingzhou and takes the initiative to attack, what will you do?"

When Wang Beichuan heard this, he couldn't help but ponder. Yingting's eyes lit up, and he said: "You sent people to Dingzhou, it was a suspicious tactic, but it was not, the real use of those hundred people was as a surprise army!"

Shen Guhong nodded and smiled, and then he stood up, pointed to the map and said, "On the way to Dingzhou, this is a valley, suitable for ambush warfare. Xiao Rin is a suspicious person, if he hadn't sent those hundred people alone, the more grandiose the momentum, the more he would suspect me and wouldn't pay attention to it. But when I take the initiative, it's different. At that time, he will definitely think that I want to hold him up, take Dingzhou, and capture Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu alive. At this time, he will definitely abandon Lanyuan County and lead a large army to help. ”

Yingting said: "At that time, the first hundred people blocked the valley and guarded the high place, and you personally led the army to catch up, encircled and suppressed before and after, even if they can't let the Liao army be wiped out, they will lose their troops and lose their generals, and they will no longer be able to invade the Song Dynasty!"

Shen Guhong nodded: "That's right!"

"In that case, then why do you only use a hundred people? Wouldn't it be better if some people were ambushed?" Wang Beichuan said.

Shen Guhong said: "This valley is in the shape of a pocket, and the exit to Dingzhou is narrow and steep. Besides, Xiao Rin is not a vegetarian, the crowd is too loud, and it is easy to leave traces, as long as he finds clues and does not enter the valley, it will be a failure. In addition, we can't train a lot of powerful warriors in a short period of time. ”

Mo Qingfeng nodded: "I understand, it was originally from you who came to Lanyuan County, and we had a plan for a long time, but it's ridiculous that we are all still in the dark by you!"

"It's not that I had a plan when I came to Lanyuan County, but I was thinking before I took command, the Liao army is overwhelming, and only by using stratagems and surprise soldiers can we have a chance of winning!" Shen Guhong said.

Yingting said: "In that case, then why don't you use Jianghu people, but train in the army?"

Shen Guhong said: "The people of the rivers and lakes are indeed high, but they have no discipline, they are unruly, this battle needs iron discipline, absolute obedience, otherwise, how can they succeed?"

Mo Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, the people in the rivers and lakes fight alone, it is indeed powerful, but if you rush to kill in the army, there is no order and discipline, but it is not as good as ordinary soldiers!"

"Okay, now that the overall situation has been decided, let's wait for good news!" Wang Beichuan said.

Shen Guhong said with a serious expression: "Everything is just a plan, it is still far from the overall situation, today's matter is only known to a few of you, don't talk to others, otherwise I, as the boss, will not be spared!"

Shen Guhong knows that every decision made can be known to the key people, and the rest of the people don't know, which can prevent leakage, and second, the intention of the coach, the soldiers will obey their orders without knowing it.

In the next two days, Shen Guhong ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and only let many Jianghu people guard the city wall. When Xiao Rin got that Shen Guhong wanted to send troops to attack Dingzhou, he was shocked, but then he only thought it was Shen Guhong's trick. Immediately afterwards, the strangeness on the city wall of Lanyuan County also surprised him. However, he still had no intention of sending troops back to Dingzhou, and at the moment he ordered his army to monitor everything in the county town of Lanyuan day and night.

The Liao army was in a tense state for three days. At this time, Shen Guhong ordered Zhang Guizhen to guard the county town of Lanyuan, opened the city gate, took Lin Tianhu as the vanguard, and personally led people out of the county town and raided the camp of the Liao army.

Xiao Rin was still guessing Shen Guhong's intentions, the army had already arrived at the camp, and the battle had begun, and it had been going on for more than two hours before the army led by Shen Guhong was repelled by Xiao Rin. He didn't have time to sit down and rest, but he received a secret guard, and the Song army appeared outside Dingzhou City. After receiving this secret report, Xiao Rin didn't think much else, and directly gathered the army and rushed to Dingzhou City. In any case, the appearance of the Song army in Dingzhou City threatens the safety of Yelu Longxu and Empress Dowager Xiao, if these two are captured or killed, then there is no need to fight this battle again.

"What a Shen Guhong, he really set up a suspicious formation, rushed to Dingzhou, good strategy, good strategy!" Xiao Rin shouted a few times, and led the troops to rush forward.

Shen Guhong, Zhang Gui, Lin Tianhu and others stood on the city wall, and when they saw the Liao army withdrawing, the people in the entire Lanyuan County City cheered at the moment. Shen Guhong said: "It's time for a good show!"
