Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 587

In Yelv Tahe, who has been in death row for more than half a year——

Put on military uniforms again, return to court, recruit old troops again, and restore glory.

This guy was originally a senior privy envoy in the North Court. He has been in office for many years, and he has a group of useful people under him.

Before that, Emperor Tianzuo put him on death row, fearing that his ministry would cause chaos, so most of them were scattered and assigned to the states, and half of the old soldiers who had been with him for a long time were all abolished.

This is cheap, Lao Cao.

If it weren't for this, these people and horses would definitely be under the rule of the Jin people at the Yanmen Pass at this moment.
Now it’s all right, there’s a loud bang in the sky, and Taheli reappears, planting flags, shaking people, those yesterday’s old ministries who had a grudge against Emperor Tianzuo, gathered for a while, and within three days, they gathered 8000 to horses, all A veteran who can fight.

Ta Heli was still not satisfied, so he told old Cao Versailles: "Hey, at the beginning, there were fifty thousand soldiers under his command, the stars were scattered, the land was north and the sky was south, and those who stayed near Yunzhou were only to %. With a horse, Yelu Yanxi can be pulled off the horse."

Cao Cao was full of compliments: "With one order, eight thousand soldiers from the Liao Dynasty returned. This kind of prestige shows that my brother-in-law is the real God of War in the Liao Kingdom."

Yelu Tahe laughed loudly: "Soldiers have their own eyes, how can they not know who is worth following? Yelu has been defeated again and again since the Yanxi Kingdom, and the morale of the army and the people have been lost. Fortunately, the ancestors and ancestors have spirits in heaven , so that my brother-in-law rescued me from prison, and I was able to set things right and rebuild the world!"

The two were talking speculatively, Lu Fangfei stepped up to the hall: "Brother, Ma Ling and Shi Qian are here too."

Cao Cao was overjoyed, got up and said to Ta Heli: "Brother-in-law, when my two brothers come back, that strategy will work. Brother-in-law is busy with military affairs, let me make some arrangements."

After saying goodbye to Taheli, Lao Cao quickly walked out of the Privy Council and came to the door. He saw Ma Ling and Shi Qian, pretending to be wandering Taoists and young Taoists.

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Two brothers, it's been a hard journey! This is not the place to talk, let's come to my mansion and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he led the two of them to his mansion in Yunzhou, which was the palace of Emperor Tianzuo.

He also summoned all the brothers who had no official duties, and they all gathered in Emperor Tianzuo's study, and the court ladies carefully offered snacks and fragrant tea, and then retreated.

Ma Ling looked at Shi Qian and said, "I'll give you your tongue, come and talk to brother."

Shi Qian grinned his teeth and didn't refuse, so he said, "my elder brother ordered us to go to Yingzhou to find out the whole story of the battle between Song and Liao. After we found out the details, we returned to Wusheng Pass and passed by Guizhou. It was brother Hao Siwen. Speaking of which, Big Brother Wu went straight to kill the tiger's mouth, so the two of us turned our heads and rushed, passed by here, saw the west wind banner on the top of the city, came in and took a look, and sure enough, my brothers were there."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I'll let you two go back and forth, don't worry about it."

Shi Qian sighed: "What kind of hard work is this? Brother, I don't know, but the Song Army's defeat was the one that really pissed people off..."

So tell me what you know-

It turned out that Zhong Shidao had a completely different mind from Tong Guan and others, and he did not approve of going to war with the Liao Kingdom, so he wrote several times at Yanmen Pass, expressing his interests and disadvantages.

In the old man's view, although the Liao Kingdom is a bad neighbor, the two families have been friends for a hundred years, and they live in peace and harmony. Instead of helping the neighbors, they take advantage of the fire to rob and share the spoils with the robbers. This is a great injustice. How can an unjust teacher last long?

Hearing this, Lao Cao couldn't help sneering: "I've heard about the old man's virtuous name for a long time, but now it seems that he is also mediocre. His words are reasonable, but since he has become the marshal of the army, he is like an arrow on the string. At this juncture What's more, you said that you have no name in the army, and you have let down the morale of the army for no reason! If I were Zhao Guan's family, I would rather change the commander before the battle than let him lead the army."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, thinking that if they were old generals, they were ready to gamble on the fate of the country. Wouldn't it be disheartening to hear the old man nagging every day that this battle should not be fought?
Shi Qian said again: Zhong Shidao and Tong Guan are divided into two marshals, West and East. Tong Guan feared that he would make contributions first, so he wrote letters repeatedly, telling him not to advance rashly. Can't get out.

Lao Cao became even more amused when he heard this: "The country sent him two soldiers, originally wanting him to support the Liao people. It is difficult to fight Liao people from head to toe. Among his two leaders, one wants to claim merit and fight rashly, and the other says no. Righteousness is as immovable as a mountain, and it is a strange thing that such a country can survive to this day."

After laughing, he asked again: "Then why did he suddenly send troops after that?"

Shi Qian smiled wryly, and told the whole story: it was Tong Guan who defeated the Hejian Mansion. More than soldiers and horses, none of which survived, fled all the way to Daming Mansion. Three or five memorials were sent out every day, urging the Zhao officials to join him in recruiting troops. Otherwise, if the Jin soldiers seize the Daming Mansion, Hebei and Shandong will be lost, and they will drink horses by the Yellow River and point their swords at Bianliang City!
However, although Zhao Guanjia is a painter, without Ma Liang's magic brush, can he draw people and horses?
This time a large-scale attack on Liao, the combined army of 35 from the two groups, together with the original troops of Wang Huan and Zhang Kai from Hebei, has reached nearly 40. Can you get it?

Besides, as an artist, Zhao Guanjia's mind is the most sensitive. He was originally ambitious, but Tong Guan's defeat was so straightforward. Guanjia's ambition turned into a glass heart in an instant, and he woke up several times in his dreams.

In addition, in order to shirk his crimes, Tong Guan boasted that the Liao soldiers were in heaven and earth. One Liao soldier can be regarded as ten of him, and one Liao general can be regarded as ten of his generals, so they will be defeated at the first touch, and they will disperse the Western Army under the old minister's command, and they will be defeated..."

The officials were terrified when they saw it, and first issued an edict to dismiss Wang Huan and Zhang Kai, the representatives of the Hebei Forbidden Army, and take them to Tokyo for trial. Defeated, and by the way, can protect Tokyo——

As for Hebei and Shandong where the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom were attacking, the officials couldn't see them anyway, so they simply ignored them.

Zhong Shidao listened to the military order secretly passed by the eunuch, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.

He lamented that the emperor was irresponsible—it was the emperor's own strategy to send troops in two directions. Now that the west army returned without firing an arrow, the emperor felt that his face was not good, so he did not issue an edict. Find a reason to retreat by yourself, and take the blame for Sheng Tianzi.

In fact, it would be fine if he took the blame, but from Zhong Shidao's point of view, it was precisely because of Tong Guan's defeat that he had to fight if he didn't want to. This was also his helpless sigh.

After all, he is a veteran general. Although he has never started a war since he became the commander-in-chief, he has sent spies to collect information on the Liao people. Therefore, he knows that the Jin soldiers are rampant outside the Great Wall, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. Naturally, he is extremely jealous. .

In his opinion, Tong Guan's defeat completely exposed the side of Song Jun who was as weak as a sheep and as stupid as a pig. Those tigers and wolves in the Kingdom of Jin must sharpen their swords and attack pigs and sheep.

At the same time, the men and horses of the Liao Kingdom's Southern Expedition are also a serious problem. If he listens to the emperor's suggestion and returns to the court, his strategic initiative will be gone. The second came to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, forcing the Liao army to go south and return to the division.

When Lao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Although the old man is not a handsome man, he has a responsibility. He didn't know that I occupied Youzhou, and Yelu Chun had a hard time returning home. He also overestimated the loyalty of Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others. From his point of view, offense is indeed a solution to the problem."

Zhong Shidao made up his mind, with an army of 15, he went north to Yanmen Pass.

Of these 15 troops, there are Western troops, all of whom have fought against Xixia, and they can be called sharp soldiers.

The remaining Shanxi frontier troops fought against Tian Hu the year before last. After all, they have been tempered by the flames of war, and they can barely be used.

However, the Liao army in the nine states behind the mountain is not as well equipped as the Liao army in the seven states in front of the mountain, and there are no well-known generals in command. It also won several games in a row, and the Liao army was free from battle.

For this part of the battle, not only the old gentleman is proud, but the generals in the army are also full of spirits.

At the beginning, they were still preparing for the return of Youji soldiers from the Liao Kingdom. Later, a prisoner confessed that Youji was occupied by the rebels and Juyongguan was lost. The Song army suddenly felt that the overall situation was settled. up.

Zhong Shidao discussed with the generals and made a plan:

The first step is to take all Kyushu behind the mountains;

In the second step, high-ranking officials and generous salary recruited Youji to rebel against the army, and the soldiers were bloodless, all according to Yanyun;

The third step is to cross the Juyong Pass and eliminate the Liao army from top to bottom;

The fourth step, the old kind becomes the king, and the young one eats farts.

For more than ten years, Tong Guan has been in charge of a country's military power as an eunuch. If these generals of Lao Zhong disobey, they will be suppressed. Although they don't say it on the surface, they are always ashamed in their hearts. Wouldn't it be fun to counterattack in one fell swoop, occupy Tong Guan's miraculous achievement of recovering Yanyun, which Tong Guan regarded as forbidden, and replace it?

When people are happy, it is inevitable to be frivolous, and the 70-year-old old man is no exception.

He counted, in his own hands, there are 15 soldiers, in Yingzhou City, there are remnants, and the rest of the states are all empty, how can it be invincible?
So for the future, Zongze, the military commander in Taiyuan, was dispatched to lead troops back, and take the Taihang route to help Tongguan guard the Daming Mansion——

In order to avoid the day of success, when he wields victorious soldiers and horses to attack the rest of the Liao Kingdom's southern expedition, Tong Guan will be jealous, smash the jars and throw them, and then add accidents for nothing.

Lao Zhong is very close to Zong Ze these days, the two are similar in age, and their words are speculative, so Lao Zhong knows that Zong Ze is a capable person, if he is in the Daming Mansion, even if Tong Guan is malicious, he will be recruited from the south of Liao Kingdom Horses are also difficult to overturn.

Anyway, for the enemy in front of us, 15 and 13 are the same thing.

When all the generals heard about it, they all remembered the old-fashioned foresight and far-reaching plans.

No one expected that when Zongze led his troops back south, Emperor Tianzuo's surrender form had already been delivered to Aguda's desk.

Aguda was still a little hesitant at first, after all, he was an ally with the State of Song. Could it be that the Liao State surrendered, so he helped them fight the State of Song?

His brother Wu Qimai took the opportunity to express his own opinion: Since Liao surrendered gold, the other land is our land, and Song Guo attacked my land, it was he who provoked first!I promised to give them the seven states in front of the mountain, but I didn't tell him the nine states behind the mountain!
When Lao Cao heard this, he sneered frequently, shook his head and said: "Tong Guan is really not doing enough. He talks about the covenant, but he is not willing to make a deal, so that there is no reason to follow."

It turned out that in the second year of his mission, the Song State sent another envoy, which was an alliance with the Jin State. The two sides agreed that Jin would take Liao Shangjing and Zhongjing, and Song would take Xijing and Nanjing. The country transferred the old coins originally given to the Liao country to the Jin country.

However, regarding the specific description of the Land of Yanyun, Song and Jin actually insisted on their own words——

Song Guo believed that all sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were included, while Jin Guo believed that it was limited to the seven prefectures in front of the mountain, and the nine prefectures behind the mountain were not included.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin deliberately kept a hand, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty did not dare to argue with reason. Therefore, in the black and white covenant, this clause was not clearly written in the end, but was just passed on hastily.

After all, Aguda was an ambitious emperor, so he nodded his approval when he had an excuse, and sent a letter with a flying eagle to order the general Wanyan Loushi, who had originally attacked the tiger's mouth, to hand over the surrender to the Liao Kingdom and lead the army into the pass, "Don't let the Song Dynasty People take a step on my land, otherwise they will be accused of breaking the contract and breaking the alliance, and I will attack them with soldiers."

On November th, the Liao soldiers in Yingzhou opened the city gates and fought out. The teachers and teachers ran out of food, so they had to fight. Overjoyed, they ordered the whole army to fight.

At the beginning of the war, the Song army had the upper hand. At this time, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rolled up from the north, and the leading general shouted loudly: "Emperor Liao has surrendered to Dajin. The land under your feet is owned by Dajin. Dajin The emperor's edict said: Song people, don't step on my land, otherwise you will break the alliance and break the contract!"

Immediately, some Jin soldiers brought out several war drums and told them that they would retreat after the three drums were struck, otherwise, it would be regarded as a breach of the alliance.

Zhong Shidao was startled and angry, his front army and central army were all involved with the Liao army, how could he retreat in a hurry?
The Jin people didn't care about it, and just beat the drum by themselves. After three drums, the general sneered and said: "Song people are shameless. They betrayed their former alliance and occupied my land. They will be beaten hard!"

After all, the whole army attacked.

Speaking of this, everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and Shi Qian's thin face showed obvious anger: "Brothers, although Old General Zong led 2 people there at that time, the Song Army still had 13 horsemen after all." , besides winning many games in a row, it is the time when the fighting spirit is high. The Liao soldiers are only . Even if some golden soldiers are added, they must be able to fight. The scapegoat of 'breaking the contract and breaking the alliance' actually ordered the entire army to retreat, defend and not fight!"

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, jumped up and kicked the stool over: "Old man Zhong, you are so confused!"

Guan Sheng said angrily: "With 15 troops and many famous generals, doesn't anyone dare to speak out?"

Shi Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Guan Sheng said so, there really is one! But he is not a famous general. I heard that he is a cavalry soldier in front of the tent of the fierce general Wang Yan of the Western Army. The boy is seventeen or eighteen years old and rides alone. He galloped up to the old stud stallion, took him by the bridle, and said loudly, "It's okay for a man to fight to the death for the country! Now the Jurchens are coming to kill us with swords and guns, and they treat us Song people as nothing. If we don't fight back, we will be pigs and dogs." also!'"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and shouted, "Well said! How will the old man answer him?"

Shi Qian shook his head and said: "The old man said to him: 'You are not the only one who knows the important affairs of the country. The officials have been planning for many years to form an alliance with the Jurchen. If it is in my hands, it will be pointed out by everyone!'"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and all the brothers sighed together.

Shi Qian continued: "That young general is so courageous! I heard that the old man was so stern and everyone was frightened, but he didn't change his face, and he pushed back with a word, and shouted: "The country uses you as a commander, it will be a disaster and a blessing." Take it upon yourself, I'm a man, but I ask you to have a clear conscience, even if you die without regret, you are afraid of the accusations of Wan Fu, are you not afraid that you will kill Wan Fu in vain?'"

"Hey, brother, it was a prisoner of the Song Army who told me this. I was in the prison city of the Liao Kingdom, and two momos bribed him. When the fellow said this, his face was full of tears, and he told me that he would rather be here The young man is the coach, even if he dies on the spot, he will be better off being captured later."

Cao Cao said coldly: "Song Guofei has no good men, only good generals! Why did he lose his courage when he became a general? It's because the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked! Zhao's rats, you misunderstood China!"

Shi Wengong was concerned about the young general, and asked: "The young general contradicted the old man, what happened afterwards?"

Shi Qian shook his head, said something slowly with a bitter face.

There is a saying: Aspirations always despise life and death, why should one cherish one's life speak of heroes?There is a youthful spirit in his chest, and he is not willing to give up after going through hardships.

　The peak rap showdown was played, and Weir's "Temporarily Clumsy", Hot Dog's "Second Half of Ten Innings", Kung Fu Fat's "Kunlun", and Ai Re's "First Round".
