Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 556
Since Lao Cao sent troops across the sea, he has been invincible all the way, but he didn't know that the battle in Hebei was going from bad to worse.

Previously, the heroic soldiers of the Liao State invaded the border and fought without declaring the two prefectures of Xiaxiong and Qing. Fortunately, "Old Romance" Wang Huan and "Kaishanhu" opened up two major envoys, with the help of Yuan Lang and Mu Hongzhong, Guard the Hejian Mansion.

Although it didn't reach the Liao Kingdom with many soldiers and generals, relying on the favorable location and harmonious people, it was finally able to sustain undefeated.

When old Cao Fang went to Dengzhou, the army from Bianjing finally moved out, and the situation in Hebei suddenly changed again.

Zhao Guan's family wanted to be a generation of heros, and they had done their best in one battle. After thinking hard, they decided to send troops in two ways to destroy Liao in one fell swoop.

The first route was the Song Army of the East Route. Tong Guan was appointed as the Marshal of the East Route Army to sweep the North, and the eunuch Tan Zhen was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Province. A total of 15 troops were selected from the Western Army and the Tokyo Imperial Army. The man commander of the bird.

All the generals in the army are all outstanding talents, Liu Yanqing, the "magic arrow of fate", Liu Guangshi, the "magic horse on the battlefield", Wang Ting, the "Bianliang magic knife", Wang Yuan, "Qi Town Northwest", Yang Ke, the "general of white stiles" Shi, "Iron Spearman" Yang Kesheng, "Xihe Spear King" Yang Weizhong, "White Faced Qin Qiong" Ma Gongzhi, "Hedong Ax Demon" Ji Jing, "Jade Faced Flying Dragon" Yao Xing, etc., are all unique fighters.

This generation is all from the old tribe who followed Tong Guan to Ping La, returned to Tokyo, each received awards and promotions, it was a time when they were full of ambitions, and this time they followed Tong Guan to sweep Beiping and Liao, and they all wanted to make great achievements again.

Tong Guan wanted to make contributions, so he specially asked for an imperial decree to recruit 20 officers and soldiers from all states and prefectures, forming an army of .

Although these officers and soldiers are all from the local Xiang army, they are native soldiers, archers, etc., and there are also many fierce generals, including the third of the ten festivals in the past, Xiang Yuanzhen, the governor of Pengcheng in Langya, and the governor of Runan in Yingzhou. There are three generals, Mei Zhan and Jiangxia Lingling Jiedushi Yang Wen, and there are also famous Shandong generals, "Double Spear General" Dong Ping, and "No Feather Arrow" Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing also had two assistants, called "Huaxianghu" Gong Wang and "Zhongjianhu" Ding Desun, who also led the army to conquer.

The second line is the Song Army of the West Road, which is dedicated to the famous "old-time Xianggong" Zhong Shidao in the Western Army. He was promoted to be the commander of the capital and the governor of the Baojing Army. 15 soldiers joined the frontier troops in Shanxi to form an army of , and went straight out of Yanmen Pass to attack Kyushu behind the mountains of Liao.

Han Cunbao, envoy of Yanmen Festival in Yunzhong, Wang Wende, envoy of Jingzhao Hongnong Festival, Jing Zhong, envoy of Tianshui Festival in Qinghe, Li Congji, envoy of Hanyang Festival in Longxi, and Zongze, who was promoted to the military commander of Taiyuan because of his meritorious service in destroying field tigers , all under the command of Lao Zhong.

Regardless of these famous veterans, Lao Zhong has a favorite general under his command this time, only in his early thirties, he is extremely heroic.

This person's surname is Wang Mingyan, and his style name is Zicai. He is a member of the Shangdang family in Hedong. Since he was a child, he has read the art of war and practiced spears and sticks. He personally appointed him as Qinghe Captain and sent him to serve in the Western Army.

When Wang Yan went to win the Western Army, he was like a fish in water, and soon became famous. He joined Lao Zhong twice in the Western Xia campaign, made many military exploits, and was promoted to the post of commander.

The former imperial court recruited the Jingyuan army to fight against Fangla. Wang Yan did not go out due to illness. Later, Liu Zhen died in the battle in Hangzhou, and his soldiers and horses were leaderless. Road, Wang Yan took over the jurisdiction.

Some judges couldn't help but ask - how is this Wang Yan so good?Ten knots are just a stroke, and a lot of pen and ink was spent just for him?

If it is just Wang Yan, there is no need to go into details, although his martial arts are high and his reputation is great, he may not surpass Yao Pingzhong, the "Little Taiwei" who is now cultivating immortality in Liangshan.

But why mention this in particular?It was because before he set off, a few young people came suddenly, travel-stained, claiming to follow the master's order, and came to serve in front of his account.

The master of those people, Yu Wang Yan is quite kind, he once taught him a saber technique in the Yuquan Gym, which has been used till now.

From the point of view of this saber technique, if he calls someone a master, he will accept it himself, so it is hard to disobey his master's order, so he is kept in the tent, regarded as a younger brother, and used as a personal soldier.

Among these few young people, there is an earth-shattering hero!

Who is this person?Press the button for now.

So far, there are two roads from east to west, with a total of nearly 40 soldiers and horses, and they will march as soon as they go!
The so-called soldiers and horses are not moved, food and grass go first, such a great war, money and food are consumed like running water, Zhao Guan's family has exhausted their minds to be the hero this time, the construction of Genyue has not been completed, and they have to hold back tears...

One is to save money and food to supply the army;

Second, when Zhu Xi died, the flower and stone gang sent by his successor was hard to get into the eyes of the dragon. The official family was a fine artist, so how could he just let it go?After thinking about it for a while, we should simply conquer the Liao Kingdom, and then select famous ministers, and at that time, the good stones and beautiful trees in the north and the south will be scoured and filled, so as to be perfect and beautiful, and go down in history forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Of course, only the first reason is publicized.

As an eunuch, Tong Guan is regarded as a servant of the emperor, and his filial piety is naturally more than those of his foreign ministers.

Therefore, whenever it is said that the emperor "cut down on clothes and food" for the conquest of Liao Dynasty, Marshal Tong will sing praises and be generous, and he will always say to people: "Although the world is the world of the emperor, it is also the world of the people. Now A hundred years of humiliation, reported to one dynasty, is not only the matter of the emperor?

Based on this simple idea of ​​sharing the worries of the emperor, Marshal Tong marched all the way, confiscating more than wealthy households, all of whom were well-known in Hebei and Shandong—and had no foothold in the court.

The confiscated income was huge, half of which was accepted by the family, and the other half was divided into two parts. One part was managed and shared among the generals, and the other was reported to Zhao Guan's family, and there was a letter saying:

"The Liao army is very powerful. In the Heshuo area, there are many cowardly men who secretly communicate with the Liao people and negotiate with the Liao people to dedicate land and city. When the minister heard this, he was furious. He presumptuously killed his family and ransacked his family, so as to avoid future troubles. Therefore, I got millions of coins and hundreds of treasures of various kinds, all of which were sent to the imperial court with the letter. The money can be used to support your majesty's army, and the treasures can be used to please your majesty's eyes. Heart is enough."

The officials were overjoyed when they got the letter, and then they were moved to tears: "Make all the officials and workers like children, and the world will be peaceful for a long time."

On September th, Tong Guan arrived in Lingzhou, tens of miles away from Hejianfu and Cangzhou, so he stood still and sent messengers to call Wang Huan, Zhang Kai and other generals to meet and discuss strategies to defeat the enemy. Enter.

Chai Jin was full of joy, he only said that the imperial court knew about his merits and wanted to use them more heavily. He specially bathed in incense, rode a good horse, and together with four generals Xiao Jiasui, Zhu Jing, Shi Xiu, and Mu Hong, led a hundred people and rushed to Ling state.

When I was outside Lingzhou City, I could see the Song Army's barracks from a distance, grounded to the sky, everyone cheered when they saw it, and was about to move forward, when suddenly a fast horse jumped out of the stab, and there was a man on the horse, with a broad face, thick eyebrows, and red hair. Blue eyes, just like a fan.

Shi Xiu saw it and yelled: "Brother Li Yun, you are not doing business in Zengtou City, how did you get here?"

When everyone heard this, they knew that it was Lao Cao's brother, Li Yun, the "blue-eyed tiger". Brothers have never seen.

When Li Yun saw Shi Xiu, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, where is Chai Jin Chai?"

Shi Xiu laughed and pointed: "Here, isn't this the official Chai?"

After Li Yun heard this, he dismounted from his horse and cut his hair, and said anxiously: "Mr. Chai, yesterday the prefect of Huang Wenbing in Gaotang Prefecture sent his confidants to Zengtou City, and asked our brothers to go to Cangzhou as soon as possible to report to you. It was said that it was two days ago. The army conquering the Liao Kingdom crossed the border, and the officers and soldiers confiscated your uncle Chai Huangcheng's furniture!"

Chai Jin was shocked when he heard this, and got off his horse in a hurry, and asked with trembling hands: "Brother, did you make a mistake? My uncle is the most honest. A person who is afraid of breaking his head even if he loses a leaf, how could he cause such a catastrophe by stealing his family?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiu's face turned livid, and he said coldly, "I'm afraid this disaster is due to his four words 'the family is rich'."

Xiao Jiasui's temperament was calm, he took Chai Jin by the hand and said: "Don't worry, senior officials, you will know the clue after listening to brother Li Yun."

After hearing this, all the people said: "Brother Xiao's words are very true, the high officials should listen to how that fellow behaves, so that they can decide what to do later."

After hearing this, Chai Jin gritted his teeth, nodded his head, and then heard Li Yun say something. It doesn't matter if he doesn't say these words.

This is exactly: the old eunuch made a fuss because of money, and the high-ranking officials committed suicide for righteousness.The Great Wall hates destroying its own hands, and the hero is angry and complains!
