Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 548
In the city of Youzhou, the leader is the left-behind Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom, the emperor's great uncle Rensheng, and Yeluchun, the king of Wei.

The second is General Zhi of Bingma of Northeast Road, Xi Wang Xiaoqian, and the third is Jiedushi of Liaoxing Army and Yelu Dashi, guard of Nanjing Road.

These three people, especially the last two, are all capable and can be called heroes.

However, under the instigation of Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi, Yeluchun mobilized more than troops from Youyan and Liao, and aggressively attacked the land of Song. It was not until he arrived in Xiongzhou that he sent the memorial to the Datong Mansion in Xijing and reported it to Emperor Tianzuo. know.

This kind of behavior of beheading first and playing later, for the ministers, if you tie your head to the waistband of your trousers, if you win a big victory, you can say that you have to follow the power, if you lose, it may be a terrible disaster.

So how dare you ignore the three?Hearing that the Song army was fighting fiercely on the front line of Hejian Mansion, they all panicked and hurried to the front line.

In this way, the people who can make the decisions in Youzhou City are Wenwu and Wenwu.

One of the texts is the prime minister Li Chuwen. Although he is a prime minister, he can also stab a spear and use a stick. He is very good at shooting and hunting. , It is to attract attention.

It's a pity that the eyes and ears don't have much integrity, but they have brains. They see that Emperor Tianzuo is declining, so they pretend to be loyal and righteous, but in fact they turn to Wei Wang Yeluchun.

The one with Wu is He Chongbao, the vice-commander of the Liao Kingdom. This man is one foot long, capable of defeating ten thousand people in martial arts, and possesses astonishing supernatural powers. The two brothers of the same clan, He Cai and He Yun, are both fierce generals on their own.

Lin Chong robbed Lu County with 300 people, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant were all killed. Only one county magistrate walked fast and rushed to Youzhou on horseback, reporting that Lu County had been taken away by someone.

When Li Chuwen found out at this time, he rushed to congratulate Chongbao, and called two brave generals in the city to discuss together.

Among them, Li Ji, a famous family, is a descendant of Li Ling in the Western Han Dynasty.

The book implies that Li Ling's grandfather was the famous "Flying General" Li Guang, who inherited excellent archery skills from his family, and his troops all learned archery from him. watch for.

In the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, sent troops to attack the Huns in Tianshan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Li Ling to escort the grain and grass.

At that time, in order to ensure that Li Guangli's army was advancing like the wind, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collected and delivered all the horses in the army, so he was embarrassed: "How can I have no horses for you."

Li Ling said with emotion: "Our troops are all Jingchu warriors, most of whom are swordsmen and geniuses. They are powerful enough to bind a tiger, and they can surely hit a target. They can fight even when they are dismounted. I am willing to use less to strike more. I will lead soldiers to attack the court of the Xiongnu."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had limited knowledge. He didn't know that once a cavalry dismounted, it was a sign of going downhill. Touched by Li Ling's courage, he agreed to dismount and go on an expedition.

Li Ling led the army on foot for days and arrived at Junji Mountain. The Huns learned that they sent more than cavalry to surround them, thinking that they would win. The virtuous king negotiated and joined forces with troops to attack.

Li Ling fought and left. He fought fiercely for more than ten days, and shot and killed to Xiongnu soldiers. The arrows were exhausted, and the weapons were worn out. The general only had a short blade with him.

The generals were like this, and the soldiers could only tear down the carts and use wood as soldiers, and finally fell into a tight siege and couldn't get out.

Li Ling sat alone for a long time at dusk one day, when he suddenly got up and took off his armor, wearing only plain clothes, he said angrily, "Everyone has ten more arrows, why worry about not being able to break through? Now the army has nothing to repay because of me being trapped. Go alone and kill Shanyu." Then he drank away the left and right sides, and walked away alone with his sword.

All the troops thought that the strong man was gone and would never return. Unexpectedly, after a long time, he returned and sighed: "The army is defeated like this, and the only thing I want is death." Take advantage of the darkness to break through.

Li Ling and more than a dozen elite lieutenants marched together, the Huns noticed their tracks, chased up and killed them with thousands of people, and ordered them to surrender.

Deputy General Han Yannian roared: "Men of the Han family only know how to kill Hu, but don't know what to surrender." Holding a short blade, he rushed to the enemy's line alone, killed dozens of people, wounded more than ten places, blood flowed out, and died facing Chang'an .

More than a dozen strong men, touched by their courage, shouted "no surrender" and died in battle.

When we were together, above the desert, the new wind howled, and the Han sons on the ground were completely silent. Surrounded by thousands of Huns, Li Ling stood alone with his sword. He wanted to charge several times, but stopped. Yen sees His Majesty too."

Nai Jiang.

A remnant soldier fled back and reported the news of the defeat. Emperor Wu was shocked. He only said that such a hero as Li Ling was desperate for life, so he called his mother and wife to express condolences.

All civil and military officials learned that they all scolded Li Ling for being unfaithful, but Sima Qian interceded for him, saying that he had fought thousands of miles and killed tens of thousands of enemies. body, in order to make meritorious atonement.

When Emperor Wu heard the words, he thought for a long time, and ordered the general Gongsun Ao to lead his troops into the Xiongnu and return Li Ling.

Gongsun Ao came back with no achievements and said: I heard that Li Ling trained soldiers and taught archery for the Xiongnu Shanyu, and the Huns valued him, so he will not let him go.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, killed his mother, wife and brother, and sentenced Sima Qian to castration.

After several years, the Han envoy was sent to the Xiongnu. Li Ling came to him and questioned the Han envoy: "I fought bloody battles for the country. I killed tens of thousands of enemies. I was helpless. I was captured at the end of my strength. It was not my fault. Why did your majesty kill my whole family?"

The Han envoy replied, "Your Majesty is furious because you train soldiers for the Xiongnu."

Li Ling stomped his eyes and stomped his feet, and sang the song of hitting the sky: "The trainer, Li Xuye, is it Li Ling?"

The Han envoy was also stunned, and said for a long time: "Perhaps I heard wrong."

Li Xuzhe, the captain of the Han Dynasty outside the Great Wall, was originally stationed in Xihou City. When the Xiongnu came to attack, he opened the city and surrendered, and was treated with courtesy by the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Li Ling hated this man for training soldiers for the Xiongnu, causing harm to his own family, so he killed him in anger.

Shan Yu was very fond of Li Ling, and made him the right school king, and made him his daughter-in-law. Since then, Li Ling has never returned to his homeland, and passed on his blood in the northern border. , without losing the prestige of the ancestors, everyone calls him Li Jinwu.

So far, the book returns to the main story, and it is said that Li Chuwen summoned the deputy commander He Chongbao, the son-in-law Xu Qing, and Zhijinwu Li Ji, and asked the county magistrate to come in and tell about the loss of Lu County. Let him talk, Li Chuwen frowned and said "But I don't know where the people are, taking advantage of the emptiness in our country, rushing to the state to make trouble, if you don't wipe it out quickly, it will become big for a while, but it's not playing tricks."

Li Ji pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Could it be that the Song army sent a partial division to make a surprise attack from a long distance, using the old plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

Xu Qing laughed loudly after hearing this: "Li Jinwu, I know your ancestor Li Ling is good at running, so you have this idea, but now the emperor of Song Dynasty, how can he be compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? His subordinates are all Tong Guanzhi. Like, our army of more than troops is attacking the state of Song, which bold Song man dares to run and attack our army with his back?"

Hearing what he said, Li Ji couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Forget it, but the general is worried."

Xu Qing grinned and said, "Didn't the magistrate say that? There were only one or two thousand people who took the city, and they didn't even have armor. Presumably, they must be strong men who gathered in the mountains and forests. When they learned that our army was going to attack the Song Dynasty, they thought they would be able to capture it." What's the big deal if you eat cheap food? According to me, if you don't kill him quickly, he will run away without a trace after robbing the county seat, but where will you find him?"

Although Lin Chong was only three hundred, the county magistrate subconsciously praised him several times. Firstly, he did not look carefully, and secondly, it was a common practice. However, from this point of view, the officialdom of the Liao State is better than that of the Song State. If it is an official of the Song State, It's not an exaggeration fifty times, and this official skin is for nothing.

Xu Qing's opinion is considered human nature, Li Chuwen nodded again and again, and asked He Chongbao: "He Tongjun, what do you think of this matter?"

He Chongbao smiled nonchalantly: "If it's the last general, don't pay attention to him. The army is out, and you can't be too careful in everything. As long as we keep Youzhou from chaos, we will do nothing wrong."

Xu Qing immediately shouted: "That's not what you said! His group of thieves dared to attack the city, which shows that they are bold. If they don't care about it, they will indulge him even more. I will escort the food and grass to the front of the army from time to time. These guys are so slick , if you come to rob food, wouldn’t you miss a big deal?”

After these words, others had nothing to say, Li Chuwen nodded repeatedly: "Taizhen's son-in-law's words are high-minded, this group of strong men must be eliminated! Besides, how much gold and silver did he get for robbing Lu County? It would be good to take it back and let the king of Wei raise his troops."

Raising soldiers or something is just a theory. Li Chuwen's real purpose was instantly clear to a few people, but they saw the fruits of the robbers' labor, so they wanted to pick peaches.

Since Li Chuwen became an official, the first thing he was good at was flattering horses, and the second thing he was good at was corruption. Later, a note in the history of the Liao Dynasty said that Li Chuwen was "especially corrupt". You must know that in this period, officials from the Song and Liao countries were corrupt. To be famous for being corrupt, those are all ruthless characters who are greedy to the point of gluttony.

It seems that this kind of people are sensitive to wealth, and it is already an instinctive reaction—Xu Qing, Li Ji, and He Chongbao are not as good. As soon as Li Chuwen said, the eyes of the three of them shot out greedy light.

After all, the wealth of a city, even if Lu County is not a big place, is amazing enough.

He Tongjun, who just thought he didn't need to pay attention to it, immediately changed his course, stood up with a bang, and said, "Hearing what you said is better than ten years of reading, if it wasn't for Li Xiang's point of departure, the young general's little knowledge, wouldn't he have missed a big deal? That's all! The young general will lead his troops to kill those thieves, so that the people of Lu County can see the blue sky again!"

As soon as Xu Qing heard this, he gave up: "He Tongjun doesn't want Luo Mo, Wu Yan Tongjun made it clear before he went out with the King of Wei, you have to be optimistic about Yanjing Wuyou, how can you let you go lightly on such an important relationship? Just a thousand thieves, I have given him great face by leading our troops to suppress him."

What he said about Wuyan commanding the army was Wu Yanguang, the commander of the capital of the Liao Kingdom. This person is the No. 1 general of the Liao Kingdom and He Chongbao's upright boss. He is Yeluchun's confidant and favorite general, and now he is accompanying him to fight against the Song Kingdom.

Li Ji said with a smile: "Taizhen's son-in-law is right. Wuyan Commander-in-law is not here, and He Tongjun is the white jade pillar of Youzhou, which can't be taken lightly! But Taizhen's son-in-law is a noble person. Why use precious feet to take risks? Let’s take a trip with the last general..."

These three are vying for each other, and each is not willing to give in. In the end, no one can do anything about it. Li Chuwen made the decision: "Lu County is not far from here. Why don't you three go together, and rely on your own achievements to avoid disputes with each other."

But he has an abacus——

As a prime minister, it is naturally impossible to compete with these generals to send troops. Although he knows that no matter who goes, he must share a share, but who knows if these rough embryos will play tricks and lay an ambush?Simply let the three of them go together, the so-called three monks have no water to eat, in this way, it is difficult to hide how much they earn, and their own interests can be considered safe.

Hearing the words, the three hesitated for a moment, looked at me and him, nodded slowly, and said "yes".

Seeing that Li Chuwen's job is indispensable no matter what, the three of them also made up their minds:
If those thieves rob a lot of property, that's all. If the thieves are not good at doing things and the capture is limited, you generals can't help setting an example and teaching the thieves how to plunder the city!

Thinking of this, I couldn't wait, got up and said goodbye to Li Chuwen in a hurry, and ran back to gather soldiers and horses——

The three of them knew that even though they said they were going together, how could the other two wait for nothing?At this moment, whoever rectifies the army and horses first, and rushes one step earlier, will have a lot of income!
There are different teachings: the strong have their own strong hands, how can bandits be as high as officials?Suddenly seeing something good in front of me, all the civil and military men in the city are sharpening their knives.
