Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 671

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he learned that the vanguard army had taken Yong'an lightly, and they all played together immediately, asking for credit for the Zhang brothers.

Some observers couldn't help but wonder: it's only a day since the troops were dispatched, and a dignified Lao Cao, how can he be so unseen in the world?Want to report victory in a hurry?
One more thing is puzzling-

As mentioned earlier, the old official's family was too emperor, and he gave away the whole Northwest Road of Beijing to Yelu Yanxi. You must know that this land is not small, it is enough for two prefectures and one army in six states. land!
The six states are Mengzhou, Zhengzhou, Ruzhou (in the area of ​​Pingdingshan in later generations), Caizhou (in the area of ​​Zhumadian in later generations), Chenzhou (in the area of ​​Zhoukou in later generations), and Yingzhou (in the area of ​​Fuyang in later generations)!

The two mansions are Xijing Henan Mansion (later Luoyang area), Yingchang Mansion (later Xuchang, Luohe area)!

That's right, Luoyang is also the boundary of Beijing Northwest Road, otherwise why does the petty official hate his father so much?Son, I am still alive in Luoyang, Xijing. You even gave me the ground under my feet. You hate me for not dying!
As for that army, it was the Xinyang Army (the area around Xinyang in later generations).

Those who are familiar with geography can't help but say "hoo" at this moment: oh, this is half of Henan Province!I also took a small piece of Anhui with me!
So doubts come out——

Yelu Yanxi has 2 horses, Liu Yu has 4 horses, once the Jin soldiers leave, the two families are separated. In such a large area, there are not many Song troops in each state and county. Isn't it what you want?But why did his family only occupy that small area?

Yelu Yanxi is easy to understand, his archenemy Yeluchun now occupies Bianliang, and he occupies Zhengzhou with eye-catching eyes, so naturally he dare not divide his troops easily.

So why doesn't Liu Yu expand?

It currently occupies three counties, Yong'an and Gongyi belong to the boundary of Henan Prefecture, and Sishui is within the territory of Mengzhou. Based on the entire Beijing Northwest Road, it can only be regarded as a small territory.

In fact, this is the reason why Lao Cao was in a hurry to report his achievements.

This Yong'an County is not ordinary.

This county town did not exist in ancient times, and will not be seen in later generations——

The area around Zhitian Town under Gongyi City today is roughly the same as Yong'an County in the old days.

The situation here is close to Beiman on the top, Songshan Mountain on the bottom, Luoyang to the west, and Fuxi Mountain (Fuxi Mountain) to the east. If you look from the direction of Luoyang, it is amazing!

It actually takes Beimang Mountain as the left assistant, Songshan Mountain as the right side, Fuxi Mountain as the backing, Luoyang as the case, Huashan as the court, and Luoshui flows into the Yellow River from the left side, turning into a blue dragon.

Fengshui phrenology, different schools have different emphasis, but they also lead to the same goal. For example, if you look at it from a different school, the situation here is even better: Mang Mountain is on the north, and Xuanwu is raised by the water of the Yellow River; In the east, Fuxi Mountain is the green dragon, and in the west, Xijing and Tongguan are the white tigers.

It's really an emperor's yin house with hidden wind and water, continuous vitality, heaven and earth design, and unparalleled weather!

Speaking of this, you must understand. .
It turns out that Yong'an was set up to defend the imperial tombs. Inside and outside the county, there are seven emperors and eight tombs in total.

Which Seven Emperors?
They are Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Taizong Zhao Guangyi, Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Renzong Zhao Zhen, Yingzong Zhao Shu, Shenzong Zhao Xu, and Zhezong Zhao Xu.

And why is it the Eight Tombs?
And Zhao Hongyin, the father of Taizu Taizong, was also buried here.

In addition, there are more than empresses, Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng and more than famous ministers are buried in the tombs. .
If the country was prosperous in the Song Dynasty, there would be eight thousand troops stationed in Yong'an County just to look after the imperial mausoleum, but in recent years, troops have been used everywhere, and these soldiers and horses have already been dispersed. The officials transferred to guard Luoyang, so that it was lightly occupied by Liu Yu.

To put it bluntly, in this battle, Lao Cao didn't just take a county seat, but took back the ancestral grave of Lao Zhao's family.

It's just that this ancestral tomb looks dilapidated now.

Just because Lou Shi went south and recruited countless mountain bandits and pirates into the army, and he has no logistics, how can he support such a large army?
Therefore, when they were stationed in Zhengzhou, many tombs were robbed and used as military resources. Only the remaining two tombs remained unchanged, namely Taizu's Yongchang Mausoleum and Renzong's Yongzhao Mausoleum.

But Lou Shi thought that Song Taizu was a hero and Song Renzong was a wise emperor, so he respected them and ordered the three armies not to invade.

When he left Lou's room, Liu Yu couldn't wait to occupy the place——

Wanyan Loushi is a foreigner, and he is willing to respect the heroes of the Zhao family's seniors. Liu Yu, who has been eating Song salary for a long time, is not as good as an outsider. , wanting to wait for all the treasures in it, so he swung south and occupied the territory again.

Unexpectedly, he hit the word "Cai" short. He has worked so hard, and just after digging the grave, Lao Cao has already waved his troops.

When Lao Cao entered the city, he saw carts and houses full of artifacts, and it was too late to transport them away.

Seeing this, Liu Yanqing scolded: "Oh, this Liu Yu bastard really deserves to die from the plague. He dared to dig the tomb of the first emperor of this dynasty."

Cao Cao understood somewhat, shook his head and said with a smile, "Since this beast has the ambition to fight for hegemony, it is natural that it will do everything it can."

Liu Yanqing said again: "Fortunately, more than 4000 of him have surrendered. I don't have many soldiers waiting, so I just joined the team."

Old Cao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not right. These surrendered troops are digging the emperor's tomb, they are not comparable to ordinary rebels, and they are also unbearable to fight. They should be handed over to the emperor himself."

When his words came out, those descendants who heard that they were going to be taken to Luoyang, and saw the descendants of their ancestral graves dug - who was still the emperor, were so terrified that they cried and rushed to take out the small utensils they had hidden, wanting to Pay for your life.

Hu Sanniang checked it out, happily picked up a few pieces, and showed them to Lao Cao: "Sir, does this look familiar?"

When Lao Cao saw it, it turned out to be a copper seal and several pendants. The copper seal was engraved with the Chinese characters "Blessed by Heavenly Officials, No Taboo". "Two seal characters.

One Faqiu Seal, nine Touching Gold Talismans!

Lao Cao couldn't help being shocked: Oh!Didn't I order these things to be brought into the tomb?Could it be that someone broke my strategy of suspicion?
Can't help being flustered, he quickly took it in his hand, examined it carefully, and just let out a long breath, shaking his head in disdain: "These are all counterfeit artifacts. For example, if you really touch the gold talisman and use gold thread to form a 'penetrating pattern', he is What the hell?"

Then he asked Hu Sanniang: "Where do you get these fakes?"

Hu Sanniang laughed so hard: "They were all captives begging for their lives. She said that Liu Yu admired Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao the most in his life, so he made his nephew Liu Ni the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, and set up Mojin School The nine captains led the troops to dig the imperial tomb."

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help being ashamed and annoyed, and cursed: "What kind of man is worthy of envying me? I will kill him!"

Immediately ordered the more than captives to be spared, stripped of their armor, escorted to Luoyang, and let the emperor handle it by himself.

As for the many artifacts obtained, I picked up a few carts of the less valuable ones and sent them as stolen goods.

The rest packed the box privately, and ordered Shi Qian to find a place to hide it, and then took it out again when the event settled down.

During the previous interrogation of the captives, the details of Liu Yu were known. This person led more than 5000 people and was stationed in Gongyi.

Now that Liu Ni is about to be destroyed, there are only two cities left.

It's just that under this person's command, there are several brave generals, all of whom are well-known figures in the Taihang Mountains.

The first two are the Xiangzhou bandits, who roamed across Henan and Hebei, and are known as the "Xiangzhou Twin Demons". They are the "ogre" Tao Jun and the "murderer" Jia Jin.

There are also Ma Bao, He Liu, He Qi, and Deng Wu, all of whom were subordinates of Wang Shan, the "Golden Saber Yama" bandit of the Taihang Mountain drama. They are all warriors, Ma Bao is nicknamed "Iron Hedgehog", He Liu is nicknamed "Jetian Yasha", and He Qi is called "Fatal Impermanence".

There is another Luo Yanqing, nicknamed "Golden Spear Overlord", who is from Huguang. He took the martial arts examination in Bianjing, and because of trifles, he offended the examiner. .

The next day, the old Cao soldiers left Yong'an, and the Zhang brothers took it for granted that they wanted to go first, but they were stopped by Lao Cao: "My two brothers, Gong Yi is the place where the bandit chieftain is stationed. He is strong and strong, but he is not as strong as Yong'an. I don't need you two today." first."

The two listened, where is Kenyi?Zhang Bofen then said: "Marshal, you only care about using me, I smashed the gate of his city open with a hammer." Zhang Zhongxiong followed up and said: "My brother is right, let him have many soldiers, I will kill them all with one blow of the knife."

Lao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Because you two are good steel, I specially use it on the edge of the blade so that I can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Then he led the army out of the city, and twenty miles outside Gongyi County, there was a Qinglong mountain, which was the remaining vein of Fuxi mountain. Cao Cao looked at it once, nodded, and ambushed his soldiers and horses here.

He called Liu Yanqing and said, "Old brother, this matter must be done by you."

Veteran generals like Liu Yanqing, when they saw Lao Cao arranging an ambush, naturally knew the opportunity, and immediately smiled and said: "Marshal, don't worry, feigning defeat is what I'm good at."

After Liu Yanqing left, Cao Cao called Wang Wende again, led Zhang's brothers, ordered three thousand soldiers, went around ten miles west of the city to set up an ambush, and told him: "You have brought these things. If you see Liu Jiedu's defeat, don't pay attention, just wait for him. When the chasing soldiers are defeated, you will be like this, like this."

Wang Wende nodded again and again, and took the order to go.

Liu Yanqing, who led a thousand troops, came to the city of Gongyi without hesitation, pointed at the city and cursed: "Liu Yu, you villain, how did the country treat you so poorly? You even destroyed the tombs of the previous emperors! Your nephew , I was cut into pieces yesterday, you are a good fellow, come out obediently and get cut up, go to the underworld and go through the sea of ​​swords and flames."

When Liu Yu heard the officers and soldiers coming, he closed the four gates tightly, and led the generals to the city to prepare for the fight. Hearing his scolding, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he poked his head out to see, but he recognized Liu Yanqing.

Immediately pointing and cursing: "I don't know who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and came to Liu's land to ask for wildfire. Unexpectedly, it was you, Liu Yanqing, you old waste. If it weren't for you and Tong Guan, the stray dog, who would eat Liao soldiers How could Liu end up here today? You trash, don't wait to die in Xijing, today I will fulfill you and avenge my nephew."

He was also cautious at first, but seeing Liu Yanqing leading the army now, he really couldn't hold back when he saw him, so he decided to send troops out of the city to kill the Song army.

Military advisor Deng Wu saw it, and hurriedly stopped him: "My lord, don't do it! Deng has also heard of Liu Yanqing's name. He has always been cautious. If he has no backup, how dare he only lead a thousand people to attack my city? There must be fraud."

Liu Yu woke up suddenly after hearing this, nodded and said: "What a military adviser, he deserves to be called 'Big Ghost'. He has few soldiers, and it's really strange. Could it be that there are ambush waiting for me?"

Deng Wu hurriedly said: "My lord is wise! From what I think, he must use a trick to lure my soldiers and horses to his ambush, and kill them in one fell swoop."

Liu Yu followed good advice and immediately said: "Since that's the case, ignore it, pick the one with the big throat and just scold him."

Deng Wu shook his head repeatedly when he heard this: "No, my lord, we planned to dig out the treasures in the tombs of Taizu and Renzong, so we will develop south. Now that Qiu Zhonglang will miss, we will be trapped in this narrow place , If we continue to entangle with him, when will it be the end? It is better to plan to kill this group, send cavalry to recover the treasure, and the whole army to walk is the best policy."

As soon as Liu Yu heard that it was reasonable, he nodded and said, "Military Master, plan to make sure?"

Deng Wu smiled triumphantly: "He just wanted to make a fraudulent defeat, and since I saw through it, he just used the strategy! I wonder how many Song troops in Xijing can have? I will send 5000 troops here to fight him out of the city, and wait for him to feign defeat. Go, but send another troops behind, wait for him to ambush and kill my former army, my army here will cover up and kill, how can we worry about the undefeated officers and soldiers? In this way, not only is it hopeful to recover the treasure, maybe Xijing can also be defeated. Drums down too."

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Wonderful! Military division, this king's possession of you is like Liu Bei's possession of Zhuge Liang. You are really like a fish in water!"

Immediately ordered He Liu and He Qi to lead troops to fight out, and he himself went out to lead the army with Deng Wu, general Luo Yanqing, and Ma Bao. He led troops and then killed them. Thousands of troops guard the city.

Liu Yanqing was yelling at the sky, when suddenly he heard a sound of drums, the gate of the city was opened, soldiers and horses marched out of the city, and two generals came out showing their might, it was He Liu and He Qi brothers.

Liu Yanqing raised his gun and pointed, "Hey! Liu Yu, do you dare to fight me!"

Liu Yu was stunned in the city, wondering if this guy has bad eyesight?This king is standing here, who is he talking to?

He Qi wanted to make a contribution, so he ignored what Liu Yanqing said, and shouted: "Hey! I am He Qi, the general of the Song Dynasty, and I will die!"

Liu Yanqing thought to himself: "Fake defeat, feign defeat, the key point is the word deceit, I will run away at this time, it would be too blatant, let's fight him a little bit."

Immediately shouted, and galloped out to meet him.

The two generals committed suicide, seeing that they were getting closer, Liu Yanqing looked at the enemy general's majestic figure in a trance, roaring like thunder, and couldn't help being a little afraid, so he hung up his gun quietly while shouting loudly, touched the bow and arrow secretly, and suddenly raised his hand, Shoot a cold arrow.

At this time, the distance between the two was only four or five zhang, Liu Yanqing shot the arrow suddenly and quickly, He Qi suddenly raised his heart, and secretly complained: I'm careless!Didn't he want to feign defeat? How could he release a cold arrow.

He hurriedly danced the steel fork into a ball and blocked it in front of him, hoping to miss him.

While he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a scream of "ah" from behind, the voice was very familiar, it wasn't his brother He Liu, but who?

　Jin Bing excavated the entire Song Mausoleum, leaving only Taizu and Renzong unmoved, and later set up Faqiu Zhonglang General and Mojin Xiaowei to dig it for Liuyu of the false Qi Dynasty.
