After Wang Shiyuan saluted his father and brother, he saluted Yelu Lu and said: "General Yelu, this is the father of the grass people, the head of the Wang family is Zhaoshan, and this is the eldest brother of the grass people, Wang Shijin." ”

The two Wang family members bowed down and said, "Caomin Wang Zhaoshan and Wang Shiyuan have seen General Yelu!"

When Yelulu saw that Wang Shiyuan called the two of them father and brother, the only trace of doubt he had was dispelled. He dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that the head of the Wang family and the son of the Wang family were face to face, and they would have been friends with the master of the Wang family for a long time, and today they finally had the fate to meet Jing." But I don't know why the head of the Wang family came, could it be that there are any variables in the matter of Tang Pass?"

"There is no such thing!" Wang Zhaoshan shook his head and said: "It is really a small people's family, looking forward to the arrival of the Liao army, like a drought and a seedling looking forward to rain, and in a hurry, they took the initiative to go out of the city to meet the general." ”

Yelulu is greedy and lustful, but he is by no means a stupid person, otherwise he would not be able to be the border general of the Liao State. When he heard Wang Zhaoshan's words, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he still laughed and said: "The head of the Wang family has a heart for the great Liao, understands the great righteousness, and will definitely repay the credit of the head of the family to the lord of the country, and my favorite of the lord of the Great Liao is the loyal and righteous people, and the wealth of the Wang family is just around the corner!"

He laughed and talked, while carefully looking at Wang Zhaoshan and Wang Shijin, only to see that the two of them were dusty, although the clothes on their bodies were luxurious, but they were stained with a lot of dust and many wrinkles, and Wang Shijin still had a dark red piece around his waist, which was covered by the belt, but it was still visible that it was bloodstains - Xingtang Pass was only dozens of miles away from here, how could he walk so embarrassed?

What's more, one of these two people is the head of the family, and the other is the eldest son, that is, the next head of the family, how can they go out without a chariot and horse entourage? It seems that these two people do not look like they came out to meet their army, but more like they escaped from Xingtang Pass!

The more Yelulu looked at it, the more he felt that the two Wang family had different descriptions, he pointed to Wang Shijin's waist and asked, "The injury on Wang Gongzi's waist is not tight, right?

Wang Zhaoshan and Wang Shijin changed color when they heard this, and Wang Shijin hurriedly said: "The general can't do it! This little injury of the grass people is that when they were copying the path, they were accidentally drawn by the branches, in fact, it is not worth mentioning, and it is not worth delaying the marching time for the small people, and the general is also asked to wave his army south as soon as possible to attack...... No, it's stationed in Xingtang Pass. ”

"Presumptuous!" Yelulu became more and more suspicious, and shouted: "General Ben is doing things, when will it be your turn to point fingers! Someone, hold him down for me and strip him of his shirt!"

Wang Zhaoshan was at a loss beside him, and said again and again: "The general can't!" Where did Yelulu ignore him, with a wave of his hand, three personal soldiers strode forward, two of them held Wang Shijin's hands, and one of them tore his shirt in three or two, only to see Wang Shijin's body, in addition to his waist, but also wrapped a few strips of cloth around his chest and abdomen, and there were blood stains oozing out under each strip of cloth.

When the military doctor stepped forward to take a look, he turned to Yelu Lu and said, "General, there are four wounds on Wang Gongzi's body, three of which are shallow wounds by swords, and one on his waist seems to be wounded by spears. ”

"What a branch!" Yelulu's face was like frost, and he shouted angrily: "Wang Zhaoshan and Wang Shijin, you two are so bold! You dare to deceive the general, come and drag these two people down and divide their bodies with knives!"

The three members of the Wang family, including Wang Shiyuan, who had been a liaison and hostage earlier, were so panicked that they bent their knees on the spot, knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and Wang Zhaoshan wept and shouted: "The general forgives the sin! The general forgives the sin! The grass people risk their lives to deceive the general, and they really have a last resort!"

Jereus waved his hand, and his soldiers put away their swords and returned them to their sheaths. Jereus asked, "Okay, Ben will give him a chance, and you can be honest, if you really have a hard time, Ben will not be an unkind person." ”

Wang Zhaoshan wiped away a handful of tears and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, General! In fact, as the general saw, the grass people father and son did not go out of the city to meet the army, but actually had to escape from the Xingtang Pass.

On a certain day, I made an appointment with the general, and I instigated an army to mutiny in Xingtang Pass, seized the gate of Xingtang Pass, and sent a letter to the general to go south, so that the general could occupy Xingtang Pass without spending a single soldier.

But what I didn't expect was that the cunning guard of the Tang Guancheng had already planted a secret in my Wang family, and the little old man's strategy to seize the pass had already been discovered by him. On the eve of the old man's implementation of the plan, he suddenly made a difficulty, led his troops to break into the Wang family, and captured most of my Wang family.

But fortunately, the secret son he buried was not high in my Wang family, and he did not know the full plan, and he did not know that I seized the Tang Pass to be dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao, so he only captured my Wang clan, but did not ask Zhao Song to send reinforcements, and now there are still only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Pass. Therefore, before the old man escaped, he dared to release the carrier pigeon and asked the general to come.

I beg the general to wave his troops south, and with the general's 30,000 strong sons, he will definitely be able to conquer the Tang Pass in one fell swoop and rescue my Wang family. Three hundred and twenty-seven lives of my Wang clan are hanging in the hands of the general!"

Yelulu was furious, rushed forward and kicked Wang Zhaoshan to the ground, and scolded: "Shameless old thief! Your plan to seize the pass has been discovered, and you even dare to send a letter to ask the general to come -- you are going to exchange the life of my Da Liao Erlang for the life of your Wang family! Is it true that the life of your Wang family is valuable, but the life of the son of this general is not worth anything!"

Wang Zhaoshan is old, he was kicked by this kick and couldn't get up for a while, next to Wang Shiyuan was so shocked that he kowtowed again and again, Wang Shijin cried: "General Yelu, although my father's plan to seize the pass has been recognized, but at this time, there are indeed only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Pass, with the general's 30,000 troops, breaking through the pass and entering the straight as a bag to get things, at that time, the money and grain women in the city will all belong to the general, and even the savings of my Wang family for many years can also be dedicated to the general, just ask the general to save the lives of my Wang family!"

When Yelulu heard this, his expression softened slightly. Seeing that he seemed to be a little moved, the strategist on the side couldn't help but speak: "General Hugh listens to this thief's nonsense, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Tang Guanzhong all year round, and if we want to fight us, we will fight it a long time ago."

It's just that the high walls of the Tang Pass City are thick, and the armaments in the city are sufficient, if he doesn't come out to fight with us in the field, we will have twice as many soldiers and horses, and we can't beat it in ten days and a half, and his rear reinforcements will not need seven or eight days to arrive, and it will still be a futile effort. This thief is at the end of his rope, so he wants to make a desperate bet with my Daliao soldiers and horses, which is really hateful!"

Jereus was awakened by these words, and he sneered, turned and left, not wanting to look at the three lost dogs again. At this time, he no longer expected to be able to take the Xingtang Pass, but since he was almost at the door, he was unwilling to turn back, so he still planned to send a scout horse to find out if the city defense of the Xingtang Pass was really incapable.

At this moment, Yelulu's personal soldiers' faces changed sharply, and they pointed behind him and shouted in unison: "General, be careful!"

As soon as Yelulu was about to turn back, he heard a sudden sound of wind behind him, and then his vest hurt, and he couldn't move. His own soldiers saw one hand pull out Yeluru's waist knife, and with a wave of his backhand, Jeru's head was already rising into the sky in a fountain of blood! )
