Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 625 Bianjing Three Kingdoms Chaos ()
Lao Cao's allocation has been decided, and the defense of Kyushu behind the mountain has been arranged. He led elites, left Yanmen Pass, and returned to the Song Dynasty.

Don't look at there are only 3000 people, but they are selected from the best. The tiger riders and flying riders brought from Shandong are all among them, and the rest are also the sharp fighters who have achieved the most military exploits among the Han'er recruited in Youzhou.

As for the surrendered troops from all walks of life in the Liao Kingdom, none of them were brought along.

The accompanying brothers are: Hu Sanniang, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, Shi Bao, Gongsun Sheng, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, a total of eight heroes.

During his trip to the south, he deliberately inquired about the old route taken by the Jin soldiers, passed through Xinzhou, turned to Yuxian County, and followed the Pingding Army and Liaozhou all the way down.

These places along the way are now dilapidated.

The so-called "bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate"——

Jin soldiers are soldiers, most of them surrendered from Khitan, they already have the habit of raiding grass valleys, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are bandits.

What's more, it has recruited many copycat bandits, which can truly be called a family of soldiers and bandits.

This is not enough for people to survive, but Lou Shi still has a poisonous plan, which is to drive away all the original Song Dynasty officials, so that those bandits who joined him will leave their cronies and control the place.

These "new officials" are all first-class thieves and bandits, what do they know about governing the country and keeping the people safe?
They hold the place and only do two things——

The first is to keep squeezing money and food according to the requirements of Lou Shi, and send them to the front of the army;

The second is to rob men and women to fill their own hunger.

Poor people along the way, first exploited by the Song Dynasty, then rebelled by Tian Hu, finally survived for two years, and then suffered such torment by the Jin people, really hate the sky and have no eyes, and their fate is difficult.

Lao Cao walked all the way, the more he watched, the more frightened he became, the more frightened he became, the more angry he became, and his murderous intentions were burning, so he went all the way and killed all the people sent by the Jin people, as well as those who served as their minions, regardless of their place of origin, and regardless of their gender. Caught and beheaded.

As for the money and food saved by that generation, part of it was kept for military use, and the rest was distributed to the common people.

Also choose a person with a good family tradition and a good reputation in the local area, please come out of the mountain to manage politics temporarily.

One kills the wicked, two pays money and food, three asks for self-government, three policies are implemented, and the hearts of the people are fully embraced wherever they go.

There are also many families who have made blood enemies with Jin Bing, and their children are pestering that they must join the army. They gather outside the barracks every day eagerly, and they cannot be beaten away.

Seeing that the people's hearts are available, Lao Cao simply ordered Shi Wengong to set up a new army named "Bingzhou Army". Anyone who wanted to join the army would be accommodated in it, and they would follow behind the army and practice.

As a result, this road will not go fast.

And just as the old Cao soldiers and horses were walking slowly, under the city of Bianjing, the situation changed again.

But before that, when the Jinren heard that Zhao Guanjia ordered him to withdraw from the army, he was dissatisfied and asked to cut off the land on Hedong Road as a reward.

Kui Xiangyang hurried back to inform, when the officials heard this, they were immediately furious: "I consider him a good ally, but he wants to split up our land, Jin people are hateful, do you think I'm someone like Shi Jingtang?"

So he ordered Kui Xiangyang to hold the gold medal, bypass Zhengzhou, and go northwest to urge the planting division, ordering him to speed up the Jin army, "supervise the withdrawal of the Jin people from Yanmen", "you can spend more with your children, gold and silk, and don't give up an inch of land."

Unexpectedly, Kui went to the sun for two days, and bad news came from the east:
It is said that Yeluchun's army has refused to move forward since it occupied Dongming County, and built a pontoon bridge on the river to communicate with Hebei.

You must know that Dongming County is only forty miles away from Bianjing, and it is really morning and evening. The Liao army is here lingering, and the officials should not be surprised.

Before the officials figured out what the Liao people wanted to do, another bad news came from the west:
Yelu Yanxi, King of Yunzhou in the Kingdom of Dajin, commanded troops. He fought out from Zhengzhou and arrived at the city of Bianjing. He scolded Emperor Song for not keeping his promise. !
Zhao Guanjia was stunned when he heard about it, and quickly complained to Fan Meiren: "I have set up a wonderful plan to count birds with one stone, once and for all, and it is extremely brilliant. Brain, I don't know how things are broken, now the Liao people don't go to fight against the rebels in Shandong, they look at the east, the Jinren also turn against me, the wolf howls in the west, and even Yelu Yanxi's trash is yelling at me in a fake tiger's prestige, the situation So, could it be that the foundation of the ancestors is about to perish?"

After all, I was so sad and indignant that I shed two lines of tears.

He couldn't figure out how Kui Xiangyang managed to manage his errands, and made his own good plan beyond recognition;

He also hated Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao and others for being useless, so much so that he was frightened, and the weight of state affairs was on his own shoulders.

In addition to the pain, artistic inspiration burst out like a spring, and he shouted: "Brush and ink are waiting for you!"

Fan Meiren quickly winked, and asked someone to take a pen and paper, and grind the ink thick for him herself.

The officials took their pens and dipped them in ink, and merged their sorrow and anger into the exquisite thin gold body, and wrote a couplet in an instant.

The first couplet is: The king is not the king of a subjugated country, and all kinds of wise men will perish.

The second couplet is: All the ministers are subjugated ministers, and the hall is full of puppets.

After finishing writing, he looked at it carefully, nodded again and again, and felt that his calligraphy had made great progress, and said with emotion: "The ancients said that the country's unfortunate poets are lucky, and the truth is not to be deceived. How do you usually write such characters?"

The more I read it, the more satisfied I was, and I copied a lot of points myself, and I sent them to Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other ministers of civil and military affairs.

Not long after, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng... a group of high-ranking officials came crying one after another, and knelt down on the side of the boat: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your incompetence."

The official stepped out of the cabin, looked down from a high position, and said angrily: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of apologizing? You wait for a high-ranking official and a rich salary, so there is no way to relieve your worries?"

Liang Shicheng wiped away his tears and stood up: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

Liang Shicheng took Gao Qiu's place and became a captain, in charge of the military affairs of the world, but in the past, Tong Guan held all the powers. Until now, he finally found an opportunity.

The officials were overjoyed: "My love, tell me quickly!"

Liang Shicheng said: "Didn't the former Pankui commander say that although there are many Jin troops, the real Jurchens only have , and now the one calling outside the city is the old emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and his subordinates are only soldiers from the Liao Dynasty. When the Jin soldiers had not entered Kyushu behind the mountain, the old gentleman beat them to the ground, has your Majesty forgotten?"

The officials are talented and smart, and they have the most experience in calculating this kind of paper data. They nodded immediately: "That's right! The Western Army under Lao Zhong is weaker than Jin, but stronger than Liao. Hmph, if it wasn't for the incompetence of Yelu Yanxi, the greed and shamelessness of the Jin Kingdom , the foundation of Kyushu behind the mountain has been set, how can I be so hesitant?"

At this moment, he forgot that the old Xianggong went against his will when he sent troops to the mountains.

But then he shook his head and sighed: "It's just that the old species doesn't know whether he's alive or dead now, and all his troops have been wiped out. What's the use of saying these words?"

Liang Shicheng held Zhizhu in his hands, and smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, although the old Xianggong was defeated, his favorite generals Zhang Jun, Qu Duan, Wang Yan, and Liu Kai are all famous heroes in the Western Army. , forcefully killed and pierced Yeluchun's heavy siege, did your Majesty forget?"

The official's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Liang Aiqing, you mean, let him lead the army with four generals to kill Yelu Yanxi, the subjugated emperor?"

Liang Shicheng nodded and said: "That's right! These four people, I have talked with them one by one, they are all heroes who are proficient in the art of war, skilled in martial arts, and loyal to the country! Let them lead more than people in the headquarters, and choose elite soldiers to supplement them." , Victory is not enough to win Jurchen, it is still uncertain, how difficult is it to kill the tens of thousands of subjugated soldiers and horses outside the city?"

The officials quickly calculated the combat power in their minds, and quickly came to a conclusion: they can fight!
Nodding again and again: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The Jinren also underestimated our country. They dared to provoke me with only 1 people, and wiped out his army. Teach him how powerful it is. Afterwards, war or peace is up to you." Our country is the master!"

At present, an order was issued to allocate 1000 people from the Imperial Army in Tokyo, together with more than Western troops, to make up . After rectifying the troops and horses, we will go out of the city to defeat the enemy in the afternoon.

Liang Shicheng got the order and thought he could overwhelm Tong Guan's limelight, so he was very excited about this move. On the one hand, he asked his cronies to choose soldiers, and on the other hand, he personally came to see Zhang Jun and four others, and told them about the battle.

The four of Zhang Jun were shocked when they heard the words. Zhang Jun cried bitterly: "Lieutenant Liang, it is a big taboo for generals not to know soldiers. I have never seen those soldiers and horses. How can we lead them?" Combat? If you really want to go to war, the more than people in the headquarters are willing to go out of the city to fight to the death, but there is no need to send other soldiers."

Liang Shicheng said angrily: "How can you allow you to act recklessly in major national affairs? The enemy army is , and you only have . If you can win, why did you lose the previous round? Do you know how hard it was for this captain to get out of Tong Guan's hands?" This elite team is here just for you to be able to win, report to the emperor, and go down to An Lishu! If you don't know what to do, let Qu Duan be the leader."

Qu Duan wryly smiled and said: "Taiwei, Zhang Jun didn't mean to offend. As a general, I pay attention to how I behave like my arms and fingers. I always treat me with kindness and strict military law. The soldiers respect me and fear me, so I am willing to follow my generation. Fighting to the death, we have transferred a new army, we have neither kindness nor majesty with him, but it is not as good as fighting with 4000 people from our headquarters."

Liang Shicheng was furious and screamed: "Hey! I am a captain. You tell me these details, and you deceive me that I don't know how to fight? You know that Mr. Laoquan is the ancestor of the family. He once wrote "Book of Quan", which is the best military strategist. Di, after I became a military strategist, I was also a captain. Don’t you understand? Since ancient times, bullying the widowed by the crowd is the best policy! Forget it, Wang Yan, you will be the commander in chief! Don’t let your Majesty and Ben The captain is disappointed!"

After all, he left angrily.

It turns out that Liang Shicheng often regarded himself as Su Shi's bereaved son. Probably because of Po Xian's flair, he often gave it away as a concubine. He occasionally became pregnant, but he didn't check carefully. The ban was lifted only after Liang Shicheng appealed to the officials.

And Su Laoquan and Su Xun, the father of Su Shi, once wrote ten chapters of "Book of Quan", the first of which is "Mind Technique". At that time, Lao Cao and Yue Fei argued for the truth, and Yue Fei's argument came from this book.

Seeing Liang Shicheng leaving in anger, the four generals looked at each other. Liu Kai was only 22 or years old at the time, but he was the most mature. ? The battle is over."

Qu Duan shook his head and said: "Those forbidden soldiers don't know the basics, so I dare not use them."

Liu Kai persuaded: "Brother Qu, how can you be so honest? Don't you hear that the general is out, and the emperor's order is not accepted? The officials were afraid that we would have fewer soldiers, so they originally had good intentions. Let's do it, the more than ten thousand people, you and Brother Zhang Take half of each of our four thousand men, and only me and Brother Wang will go out of the city to fight. We will kill the enemy in the center. good?"

"Take them out to fight, instead of them fighting against the enemy?" Qu Duan rolled his eyes and was overjoyed: "A good plan! Brother, if that's the case, I will fight the enemy with Wang Yan, you and Brother Zhang will each lead a forbidden army."

Zhang Jun glared: "I lead the Imperial Guard, the emperor ordered me to be the chief general, what qualifications does Liang Shicheng have to change? I am the master of this battle, and Qu Duan and Xiao Liu are assistants. Why should the 1000 people be divided into two shares? With the ability of Brother Wang Yan, why not lead thousands of people alone?"

Wang Yan was furious, and he grabbed Zhang Jun to reason, and the four of them fought over each other, but none of them would lead the forbidden army.

In the afternoon, Yelu Yanxi saw the shadow of the sun move to the west, and was about to withdraw the army. Suddenly, he saw a crowd of people on the wall of Bianjing, and a yellow canopy floating up and down the city. .

It turned out that after thinking about it, Zhao Guanjia carefully calculated the combat power of both sides several times, and felt that this battle would undoubtedly be won, so he was so excited that he went to the city to watch the battle in person, and wanted to follow the example of the former emperors who had personally conquered them, and watched their generals make great achievements with their own eyes.

Yelu Yanxi set up a pergola to watch, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe under Huang Luo's umbrella, and there were a young man and a young man beside him. It must be Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was watching the battle with the prince. With one shot, he rushed straight down the city.

Pointing the gun at the top of the city, he shouted: "Zhao Ji! I am the King of Yunzhou in the Kingdom of Jin. The soldiers and horses of the Kingdom of Jin are strong and the fortunes of the country are flourishing. This king should obey the heavens and people. He has surrendered the Great Gold. Now I am here to persuade you to surrender together. Otherwise, you will be opened!" Cheng Zi, kill all chickens and dogs, don't say that this king is unpredictable!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guan's family became angry from their hearts. They slapped the battlements, ignoring the pain in their palms, and pointed at the city and yelled: "Yelu Yanxi, you king of subjugation, you don't know the rules, how can you have the face to shout in front of me?" ?Your family ancestors, what heroes, how did you give birth to such an unworthy descendant? How dare you persuade me to surrender? My bones are not as weak as yours! In my body, the blood of Emperor Taizong flows, Not to mention that you are a small subjugated king, even if the Jin people poured down the country, I will fight with them until the sky collapses and the earth falls apart!"

Because the emperor was about to go to the city, those civil and military officials in Cai Jing followed with a bitter face. Seeing the murderous aura rising above and below the city, when their legs were weak and their feet were sore, they suddenly heard such generous words from their own emperor. They couldn't help being stunned: This official family is usually out of tune, so is it so strong inside?
Yelu Yanxi became furious and yelled: "Zhao Ji! What are you pretending to be? You are clearly a softie. How can you pretend to be a hero in front of this king by virtue of having a good city wall? When this king shoots bears and tigers, you This guy can only shoot some women indiscriminately, how dare he show his prestige in front of this king? Come down, I will fight to the death with two of us!"

Zhao Guanjia's heart trembled, and he secretly said in surprise: As expected of a person who has been an emperor, he knows my thoughts, how can he see that I am relying on this city wall?

But I have to say that there is a wall to fight, but it is different, but I saw the official smiling up to the sky and shaking his head slightly: "Fight to the death with me? Are you worthy? If you are still the Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom and match my status, I will Wearing armor and holding a sword, why not fight with you? You are a little king now, what qualifications do you have to invite a fight? If you want to fight with me, well, let your family Wanyan Agao call!"

These words became more generous, and the soldiers all over the city cheered in unison: "Let A Gu fight!" "Let A Gu fight!"

The Ninth Prince, Zhao Gou, was shocked by his father's arrogance, and suddenly screamed: "King of Yunzhou, you are not worthy to invite my father to fight. I am Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County in the Great Song Dynasty, and I am just right for you!" Match, and let you learn how to shoot this king!"

Before he finished speaking, Yelu Yanxi jumped up the battlement, condescending, and shot an arrow. Yelu Yanxi didn't expect that someone would dare to sneak up on him when he was answering the question with the Emperor of Song. He dodged in a hurry, his shoulder hit him, and he fell off the horse with an "ouch".

The head of the city was slightly taken aback, and then the whole city cheered.
