Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 570
Wen Da and others chased and killed them along the way, and rushed to the bank of Chao River, but they were shocked to see Liao soldiers knelt on the ground densely like harvested wheat.

Li Jun held the head in his hand, stepped to the bank, and jumped up. The Liao soldiers all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

Seeing his supernatural power, Wen Da couldn't help admiring him, and blurted out: "One man arrives, a thousand troops surrender, Li Wudi really deserves his name."

Li Jun was overjoyed, and Lao Cao appointed him to be the coach of the whole team. What worried him most was that the old general Wen Da refused to accept it.

After all, Li Jun was just a private businessman, but Wen Da was a veteran general who led the old soldiers. Although he had made great achievements in taking Jizhou, but the defense of Jizhou city was empty, wouldn't it be difficult to take it down with someone else?Therefore, I secretly felt uneasy, and at this moment I was praised by him, and I felt very happy.

It's just that Li Jun was quite able to hold his breath, with a faint smile on his face, he said sincerely: "If Brother Wen and his brothers hadn't been able to fight well, how could my younger brother have been able to borrow the power of the tiger and get away with it by chance."

Seeing that he was victorious but not arrogant, Wen Da admired him even more, and sighed: "Brother Wu knows people after all, Brother Li is indeed a famous general."

Sun Xin jokingly said: "Brother Wen is right, I think Brother Li's strategy today is as good as the famous generals in ancient times."

Li Jun waved his hands and said: "Brothers are getting more and more famous, how dare you be the word 'famous general'? Although this group of Liao army has been wiped out today, Tanzhou has not yet fallen, so we should not be too complacent."

Wen Da pointed to the ground and said: "With these people, Tanzhou is at your fingertips."

Li Jun smiled and said: "This is what the heroes see and agree with. The younger brother's intentions are also on this group of surrendered soldiers. Ah Bulai—"

Ah Bulai was originally the defender of Jizhou in the Liao Kingdom and a personal general of Yelu Dezhong, the younger brother of the imperial brother. Because he wanted to fight for Pan Qiaoyun, he killed the old master and surrendered his head to Li Jun.

Like this kind of person who betrayed the Lord, according to Li Jun's nature, he would naturally accept it with a smile and reward him with a knife, but hearing him cry and tell Yelu that he would defile his wife again made Li Jun feel sympathetic and comforted him: "The Lord is not benevolent. , the minister must be unrighteous, even though you have betrayed the master, it is because he has deceived others too much." He was accepted as a general in the army.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, a general of the Liao army galloped to the north gate of Tanzhou with a disheveled face, claiming that there was an urgent military situation, and he wanted to see the general immediately.

The defenders at the top of the city heard that they didn't dare to be negligent, so they rushed to report. After a while, Dongxian's assistant rushed over. Seeing this man's panic-stricken face, he ordered him to open the door and let him in.This person met the servant of Dongxian, and claimed to be Abulai, the general of Huangyaguan on the Great Wall. He was attacked by the Jurchens at night. Although the wall was not lost, there were heavy casualties, so he came to Tanzhou to ask for help.

Dongxian's servant was shocked when he heard the words, he had never heard that Zhongjing fell, how did the Jurchen go to the Great Wall?Fortunately, he was still rational and knew how to ask for the general's request for help.

Ah Bulai said that General Guan and Deputy General were all killed in battle, and their seals were not known where they were received, so there were no documents.

Seeing that the servant of Dongxian was hesitant, he hastily stated his identity. He said that he was once the confidant and beloved general of the king of Jizhou. If Tanzhou refused to send troops, he had to go to Jizhou to ask for help. The journey back and forth is long. The responsibility of the state general.

Dongxian Shilang heard that when he asked about the affairs of the royal brother's palace, Abulai really knew everything about it, so he didn't get suspicious. He went around a few times in his family, thinking about it, and finally didn't dare to neglect, so he ordered Chu Mingyu to lead five thousand troops. , led by Abulai, went to Huangyaguan to support.

So far, there are only soldiers and horses left in Tanzhou, and all the powerful generals are out.

At noon, the Liao Army headed to Miyun County and returned dejectedly. The team was surrounded by two ox carts, and two people were lying on the cart. They were Weikang and Cao Mingji in armor, but they were covered in blood. , was killed and seriously injured. Fortunately, there were many soldiers and horses, who forced the enemy back and rescued them, but Miyun never recovered.

Dongxian's servant said angrily: "Look at these two, it's useless to say that ten thousand thieves have committed suicide, but now they are so defeated."

Then he ordered Kaicheng to put it in, went down the tower at home, went to the front of the car, and said, "The two generals are known as brave, how could they be injured by mere thieves?"

"Bite'er Weikang", whose face was covered with blood, heard that, he opened his eyes and screamed strangely: "My master fought hard, but I want to complain about you!"

Jumping up, he chopped off the head of Dongxian's servant with a single blow. The defenders were stunned when they saw the generals fighting each other.

I saw the Liao army, half of them squatted on the ground, and the rest shouted to kill at the same time. The defenders were not on guard when they first came, and secondly, there were few people. up.

"Biter Weikang" wiped his face, and said with a chuckle, "It's Li Wudi, the commander of the Chrysanthemum Army! It's called 'Nao Hai Shen Long', and now the Liao Kingdom has no way, so it's the other way around. If you know the opportunity, hurry up Surrender quickly, but if you hesitate, the whole family will be killed!"

After that, he ordered Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Sun Xin, and Aunt Gu to lead their troops to rob the rest of the city gates, while their own family led an army to go to the state government first, and killed most of the officials, big and small, leaving only a few scares. The Han officials who have to fuck off, listen to him.

At the other end, Abulai led the way, took Chu Mingyu and others to Huangya Pass, traveled twenty miles, and arrived at a place——

The right hand here is full of majestic peaks, called Four Thousand Peaks, while the left hand is a big green pool, which covers a vast area. It is said that there is a white dragon hiding in it. If there is a drought, it will fly out to spread rain. Longtan, a road in the middle.

A Bulai looked around, pointed to the White Dragon Pool and said, "General Chu, look at this pool of water, how beautiful it is? It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, wouldn't it be a blessing to have it as a private residence?"

Chu Mingyu was irritated when he heard that, and he was afraid that he had a relationship with the palace, so he didn't dare to offend easily, so he replied with a smirk: "If you like it, go ask the King Yudi to give you a piece of land, and you will be buried here in the future." .”

Abulai said happily: "If the king is willing to give this land, I will give it to the general as a favor."

Chu Mingyu said angrily: "I'm going to meet the Jurchens, how can I say such unlucky words?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry rushed straight from the road over there, the leading general, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, was Zhou Tong, the general of the Chrysanthemum Army, and shouted loudly: "Hey! Khitan dog, Do you know Gulu Gulutong, the son-in-law of King Aguda of the Great Jin Kingdom?"

His voice was uttered in the Jurchen language, although Chu Mingyu didn't know what it meant, but she knew it was in the Jurchen language, her face turned pale with shock, and she lost her voice, "Ah, the Jurchen also jumped over the Great Wall!"

A Bulai pointed at the general and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, this is the number one Jurchen general, the king of horses, Gulu Gulutong! This man has a cruel temperament, and he will eat the living every time. I will do it when I walk slowly And his lunch too!"

After calling, he reined in the horse's head, knocked off the infantry and ran away.

Although Chu Mingyu has never fought against Jurchen soldiers, he has been known for a long time for his cruelty to them. Seeing Abulai run away, and hearing that Gulu Gurutong is the number one general and son-in-law, how dare he war?He quickly turned his horse's head and ran for his life. Seeing this, the Liao soldiers collapsed in place.

Because his army was going to defend the city, they were all infantry. The terrain here was narrow and long, so how could they escape the cavalry?
Zhou Tong took the lead and rushed forward, smashing and sweeping with his long halberd, killing these rout soldiers who dared not turn their heads back, it was like an overlord alive.

The Liao soldiers jumped into the Bailongtan one after another in desperation, but Zhou Tong ignored him and just went forward to kill Chu Mingyu. After a while, he raised his halberd and stabbed.

Chu Mingyu was caught between the rout soldiers and couldn't run fast. He heard the sound of horseshoes approaching behind his head. He turned his head and saw Zhou Tong stabbing him. But it was bleak: this person is the number one Jurchen general, how can I be an opponent?

Seeing the enemy general fight back, Zhou Tong said angrily: "Wow, you saw my Gulu Gulu Tong face, and you still cut off your head and gave it to you, you are a capital crime!"

This sentence did not speak Jurchen language, and Chu Mingyu felt aggrieved when he heard it: "You are unreasonable. If I cut off the head, wouldn't it be a normal death? What capital crime are you afraid of?"

Zhou Tong nodded his head after listening to it: "This statement makes sense. My Gulu Gulu is limited in speaking Chinese, so according to you, how should I ask this question?"

Chu Mingyu was overjoyed, and thought to herself: I have heard for a long time that although the Jurchens are ferocious and good at fighting, they are actually fishermen and hunters, and their temperaments are still simple. When I saw them today, it was true. It's hard to survive, why don't I just seek a chance here, when will I wait?
While fighting with Zhou Tong, he put on a smiling face and said, "Your Majesty, you should ask me whether I will surrender or not. If I don't surrender, I will die."

This guy was so focused on his survival that he didn't notice that he was evenly matched with the number one Jurchen general!
Zhou Tong nodded and said: "Not bad, you are very knowledgeable! So whether you surrender or not, if you don't surrender, you will die."

Chu Mingyu hurriedly said: "I surrender, I surrender."

Said that he hastily put away the gun in his hand.

Zhou Tongli ignored it, and made a move of "strengthening a thousand troops". With a flash of the crescent moon on the halberd, he cut off Chu Mingyu's head, and screamed strangely: "You know that death is inevitable, but you dare to say that you will not surrender, see Among the Liao army, there are many good men."

The defeated soldiers all around were stunned, and they all complained: "Your Majesty, our general meant 'I will surrender', not 'I will not surrender'."

Zhou Tong scratched his head, and said in surprise: "So, I got it wrong? Ah, Chinese is really hard to learn—then you thieves, don't you think you will not surrender?"

The defeated soldiers shook their heads in unison: "We—surrender! Your Majesty, you must listen carefully, we—surrender, surrender!"

When Wen Da, who was holding the formation, arrived, thousands of rout soldiers knelt down the valley, Zhou Tong smiled, put his arms around Wen Da and said, "Look, old brother, my younger brother may not be inferior to him in his abilities, right?"

The two led the cavalry and escorted the surrendered army back to Tanzhou. Li Jun was overjoyed. On the one hand, he ordered people to go to Youzhou to find Lao Cao to report the letter, and on the other hand, he closed the city gate tightly. suffer.

At the same time, Wenda, Zhou Tong, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, and A Bulai were sent to select elite soldiers, pretending to be Liao troops, pretending to transport food and supplies, and waiting for an opportunity to seize Huangyaguan.

After occupying this section of the Great Wall, he will also make Tanzhou calm here, so he can personally lead the army to the Great Wall and prepare to deal with the Jin soldiers.

On October th, the three letters arrived at Lao Cao's hands at the same time.

The first letter was naturally sent by Li Jun, and he described in detail how he divided his troops, how he captured the city, and how he would plan in the future. When Lao Cao read it, his face was full of joy, and he said to everyone: "'Hunjianglong' deserves its reputation, and it is not in vain to be a brother. Entrusted with great things."

Everyone circulated it, and they praised it endlessly. They began to believe in Li Jun's ability, and admired Cao Cao's ability to read people.

The second letter was unexpected to Cao Cao—it turned out to be two generals, Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong!

It turned out that these two generals were defeated by the Liao soldiers, and had no way to return to the south, so they decided to attack Youzhou, which was also an act of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

The two led thousands of defeated soldiers, crossed mountains and ridges, and met small groups of Liao troops in Mozhou and Zhuozhou. When they arrived in Youzhou, there were only more than soldiers under their command. They were hungry and tired, and attacked Fanyang County in the dark. Settle down temporarily.

The two sent scouts to Youzhou to inquire about the news, and when they came back, they reported that a group of forces named "Western Wind Army" had rebelled against the Liao Kingdom and occupied the area of ​​Youzhou and Shunzhou. All fell into the hands of the West Wind Army.

Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong were shocked when they heard this. After discussing it, they wrote a letter to express their friendship, informing Hejian Prefecture of the defeat of the Song army, and hinting that both sides are now enemies of the Liao State, so they might as well form an alliance. Form an alliance, you might as well give some food and fodder to show your sincerity.

As for the third letter, it was written by Yelu Dashi of the Liao Kingdom himself. He also said that the West Wind Army was a powerful green forest in the land of Youyan. Independence will be condemned by God."

After cursing for two or three hundred words, the conversation changed, and he advised Cao Cao to return the family of the general of the Liao Kingdom and surrender as soon as possible. By the way, he spent more than a thousand words detailing how to defeat the Song army. Now "Hebei has been swallowed, and Shandong is in sight." ", urging Cao Cao to lead his troops to serve in front of the battle.

"The big mistakes made by your generation are unavoidable. It coincides with the time of great strife. When the country employs people, Wei Wang Hongda is willing to forgive his previous crimes. He calls on you to come back and serve in the army. Report the great kindness of the family and the country and show the talents of a strong man. , It is still unknown that he will be crowned king and general in the future, but if his name goes down in history, wouldn't it be ten times better than being a thief?"

Cao Cao read and re-read the two letters, especially the key points and repeatedly compared Wang Yuan and Yelu Dashi's description of the Hejian Mansion Battle. He can lead 5000 troops to guard the state capital and wipe out bandits, Zhao Ji made him a commander, he really digs his own grave."

I thought about it carefully, wrote two letters in my own hand, and sent the first letter to Yelu Dashi, claiming that he was not from the Liao Dynasty, so it was not a rebellion, but a "crazy man in the sea, homeless and countryless, occasionally going ashore, making waves." Xingfeng."

He also said that his family was persecuted by the Song army in the past, and the stronghold was dilapidated, so it went into the sea. Therefore, if there are any Song generals who are not dead, you might as well send them to yourself to avenge the past.

The second letter was written to Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong, promising to give them food, grass, armor, and even send troops to station in a nearby pass to serve as horns for each other. , will not be limited to Youzhou, but will coerce people and horses into Kyushu behind the mountains, completely cutting off the foundation of the Liao Kingdom.

Among the captives, Cao Cao chose a nephew of Xiao Qian to deliver the first letter. The second letter was carried by "Iron Dragonfly" Niu Wenzhong, who led "Xiong Wei General" Yu Yulin and "Taiyue Double Eagle" to deliver the first letter. Jinding and Huangyue led three thousand recruits and escorted the food and grass.
