The Yue and Li Dynasties did not originally intend to invade China, but when they saw that the Song Dynasty was defeated in front of Yanyun's army, they thought they had an opportunity, so they raised troops to raid the border. At this time, the Song Dynasty was already crumbling in the face of Yanyun's attack. It could not care about the invasion of the Yue and Li Dynasties, so the Yue and Li Dynasties easily invaded the territory. What's worse. Some gentry and officials born in gentry openly clamored that they would rather hand over the land to the Nanman than to Yanyun, so they surrendered to Kaicheng of Yue and Li Dynasty. The army of Yue and Li Dynasty marched straight in and occupied many states and counties on the border. The Yue and Li armies were so excited that they were able to occupy the prefectures and counties in China. They burned, killed, and looted every city they occupied. The cities occupied by the Yue and Li armies were like hell on earth.
Several old men heard Shi Liancheng's question and nodded one after another. The tall and thin old man in the middle gritted his teeth and said: "They are those beasts in human skin!" Shi Liancheng felt that the matter was urgent and could not delay, so he immediately said to the old men: " You go to Nanning, it’s very safe there.” Several old men thanked them gratefully.
Shi Liancheng turned his horse's head and shouted to his soldiers: "Get out of the way, let the people pass!" After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately moved aside. Several old men shouted to the people behind them: "Folks, let's go to Nanning, it's safe there!" The people then followed the old men through the Yanyun Army and headed towards Nanning. After this time, the people who were originally afraid of Yan Yunjun couldn't help but change their attitudes. They felt that Yan Yunjun was not what the officials and landlords said!
Shi Liancheng immediately led his cavalry towards Qinzhou. Climbing a hill before nightfall, I saw a city screaming in pain on the shore of the sea in the south. Thick smoke billowed everywhere in the city, and cries and screams mixed with crazy and ferocious laughter blew in the sea breeze. The hearts of General Yan Yun suddenly surged with anger!
Shi Liancheng raised his long sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush into the city with me and kill their idiots!" Yanyun soldiers shouted in unison, and then followed Shi Liancheng and galloped towards Qinzhou City. .
There was still some distance from the city gate, but the city gate was wide open, and the people were hurriedly escaping from the city. The Yue and Li Army officers chased them out with laughter, and chopped down the people like melons and vegetables. Blood flew and screams were heard. In one piece, a mother hugged her child and ran for her life. Unexpectedly, her foot was tripped by a stone, and she fell heavily to the ground and screamed. The child in her arms cried loudly because of the pain. A Vietnamese army officer rushed up, laughed loudly, raised a long knife dripping with blood, and was about to chop down the mother and son. The mother quickly protected her child and closed her eyes, feeling extremely frightened.
However, the imagined scene of severe pain and terror did not appear. Instead, the Vietnamese officer's screams were heard. The mother was so surprised that she couldn't help but open her eyes and saw that the Vietnamese officer was falling backwards with a sharp arrow stuck in his chest!
The mother showed an expression of disbelief. At this moment, amid the loud rumbling noise, countless fierce warriors were seen rushing past with their swords raised and shouting. The soldiers of the Vietnamese army at the gate of the city were shocked when they suddenly saw such a scene. Facing such rolling iron hoofs, no one dared to resist, so they all turned around and ran for their lives! I saw Yanyun's war cavalry sweeping past like a wave, and the Vietnamese army soldiers were instantly submerged in the rolling waves. The originally ferocious Vietnamese army had no ability to resist in front of these war cavalry.
When my mother came back to her senses, she saw the two-winged flying tiger war flag fluttering in the wind. She couldn't help but burst into tears and shouted excitedly: "It's the Yanyun Army, it's the Yanyun Army!"
Shi Liancheng led 10,000 war cavalry into the city. He saw that the city was devastated and the streets were full of corpses. Among them, the bloody corpses of babies and the naked corpses of women were particularly shocking. Seeing this scene, all the soldiers felt boundless anger surge up, as if their heads were blown away!
At this moment, there was a loud sound of footsteps ahead, and tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops, led by several Vietnamese generals, rushed forward with a roar. A Vietnamese general shouted to his soldiers in Vietnamese: "The Han people are all vulnerable! Kill them all! The one who kills the most will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and ten beauties from the Han people!"
The soldiers of the Vietnamese army immediately became excited, and they all roared like wild beasts and rushed forward. When General Yan Yun looked at these beasts, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. Shi Liancheng shouted: "Kill!" He should kill the enemy first. The 10,000 war cavalry started up and charged. The roar was like a raging ocean tide. There was only one thought in the hearts of Yan Yun soldiers, and that was to kill all these beasts!
The Vietnamese army had never fought with cavalry. Now they suddenly saw thousands of horses galloping in pain and the momentum was like a tidal wave. They couldn't help but become frightened and the momentum of the charge slowed down. However, Yan Yun's cavalry rushed faster and faster, and finally it was like a huge wave rolling into the sky, hitting the Vietnamese army heavily! Countless soldiers of the Vietnamese army were knocked away by this distance that was like the power of heaven. The soldiers of the Vietnamese army could not help but change their colors in horror!
The Vietnamese army was unable to resist the charge of Yan Yun's warriors, and was instantly killed by Yan Yun's warriors! Yan Yun's iron hooves rushed forward, unstoppable, trampled under their iron hooves, slashed with swords and guns, the Vietnamese army's corpses were covered in blood, and there were heavy casualties. The army continued to retreat uncontrollably! A Vietnamese officer plucked up the courage, shouted, and brandished his sword in an attempt to kill a Yanyun warrior who was charging forward. However, he was horrified when he saw that the opponent was as fierce as a tiger or a dragon. At this moment, the Yan Yun warrior came up on his horse. The soldier on the horse shouted angrily and swung his sword to kill. The long sword flashed with a cold light and split open the Vietnamese officer's head instantly like thunder and lightning! With blood flying, the Vietnamese officer screamed and fell backwards! Immediately afterwards, the iron hoofs of this Yanyun warrior trampled his body and continued to charge forward!
Rows of soldiers of the Vietnamese army were knocked down by the invincible Yanyun cavalry. In the end, the Vietnamese army completely collapsed. They turned around and fled for their lives, scrambling for the first place, trampling on each other and losing countless lives. Yan Yun's army pursued them mercilessly, crushing their heads with their iron hoofs, chopping open human bodies with long knives, leaving blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they killed ruthlessly. They were also merciless to the Vietnamese officers and soldiers who knelt down and begged for surrender. They killed them all the way, until the streets were filled with corpses. The ditches were filled with blood! The Vietnamese officers and soldiers were so frightened that they felt that these cavalry were simply not human beings, they were clearly demons coming out of the underworld! The Vietnamese officers and soldiers rolled and crawled around. In order to escape the pursuit of the terrifying Yanyun warriors, they fell into a well and drowned alive in the well.
The Vietnamese army was defeated and fled the city in panic. The blazing Yanyun War Cavalry did not let them go, and continued to chase them out of the city, chasing them with horses all over the mountains and fields! There are Yue soldiers and soldiers fleeing everywhere, and Yanyun warriors are everywhere killing mercilessly. Under the setting sun, blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and the screams are thrilling! Yan Yun's army pursued them for more than ten miles before withdrawing their troops and returning to the city. At this time, the wilderness outside the city west of Qinzhou was littered with corpses, it was like an Asura hell!
Shi Liancheng returned to the city and saw the miserable scene in the city, and the anger in his heart was still uncontrollable. He turned to the general next to him and said, "Immediately lead your soldiers to help the people!" The general agreed, turned his head and said hello behind him, and then led his soldiers down.
Some Yanyun soldiers went among the people to help them collect the bodies of their relatives and treat the injured. Shi Liancheng was riding a horse in the city, and from time to time he saw people crying on their relatives. There were sad scenes everywhere, and shrill cries could be heard in his ears. Shi Liancheng was in a bad mood. He felt that he had failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect the people. Suddenly, a picture came into Shi Liancheng's field of vision. It was a young and beautiful mother, holding her child and sitting at the door, crying silently. Although she did not make any sound, anyone could feel her miserable look. A feeling of despair.
Shi Liancheng couldn't bear it, reined in his horse and got down. He walked up to the young mother and squatted down. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he, who was not good at words, was even more speechless at this moment. The young mother raised her head and glanced at him, her expression trembled, she threw herself into Shi Liancheng's arms, and burst into tears. All her sadness and pain completely burst out at this moment. Shi Liancheng felt the other party's hot tears instantly penetrate the armor and soak into his chest. Shi Liancheng didn't know what to say and subconsciously hugged the mother and son tightly. The young mother was already overly sad, and after some pain, she fell asleep.
Shi Liancheng looked at the beautiful face blurred by tears, and his heart was full of pity. He sighed, picked up the mother and son, led the soldiers into the government office, and temporarily settled the mother and son in the back hall of the government office. In the wing room. Then he ordered the soldiers to prepare some food for their mother and son, and then returned to the front hall to handle things.
As soon as Shi Liancheng arrived at the front hall, an officer rushed to report: "Report to General, a group of common people captured a person and said they would sacrifice it to the General!" "Oh? Let them in." The officer promised and ran After going down, a group of people came in after a while. The group of people pushed and pushed a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was gorgeously dressed, but he was torn to pieces at the moment. His skin was fair and his face was handsome. , but now he was beaten into a pig's head, his face was covered in blood, and his eyes showed a look of great fear.
The officer led everyone to the lobby and pointed at Shi Liancheng who was standing in the middle of the lobby: "This is the general of our fifth legion! If you have anything, just tell the general!" The people looked at Wu Song in awe. They looked at each other and bowed one after another: "The common people pay homage to the general!" Shi Liancheng smiled and said: "Folks, you don't need to be polite!" "Thank you, general!" The people thanked you, stood up, and couldn't help but secretly said: I didn't expect this The general is so kind!
Shi Liancheng glanced at the middle-aged man who was kidnapped by the people and asked, "What's going on?"
The people immediately showed anger. A strong man couldn't help but slapped the middle-aged man hard. With a loud bang, the middle-aged man screamed, then coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood and a pill. Teeth come. The strong man pointed at the middle-aged man and cursed through gritted teeth: "This bastard! It's him who betrayed all our fellow villagers in Qinzhou!" He cursed and couldn't help but kick him again. The middle-aged man staggered, fell to his knees with a thump, and cried out in pain. The strong man wanted to fight again, but was grabbed by an old man next to him. The old man said angrily: "You are such a savage bull, how can you be so presumptuous in front of the general!" The strong man realized this problem and quickly clasped his fists towards Wu Song and said: "General, the common people are really angry! Please forgive me, General!"
Shi Liancheng said: "It's nothing. But you have to explain this matter clearly. What happened? What did this man do?" The strong man pointed at the frightened middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground. The man scolded: "This bastard was let in by his superiors!" The middle-aged man quickly kowtowed to Shi Liancheng and said, "The villain has confessed his crime, please spare his life, General! The villain has confessed his crime, please spare his life, General!" "
When Shi Liancheng heard that it was this middle-aged man who let the Yue people into the city, he wanted to kill him. He kicked him hard, sending him flying backwards and falling to the ground on all fours. Shi Liancheng's kick was so powerful that the middle-aged man lay on the ground screaming in agony. He felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart and he couldn't get up at all!
When the people saw this, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Shi Liancheng asked: "Who is this person? Why can he let the Yue people into the city? Could it be that he is an official here?"
The people nodded, and the strong man said: "This dog official is the prefect of Qinzhou! This bastard who kills a thousand swords! Damn, he is still a famous family in Qinzhou, bah! He is simply a clan of beasts! What a scholar! Mom every good thing!”
The old man shouted: "Don't utter dirty words in front of the general!" The strong man quickly closed his mouth. Shi Liancheng smiled and patted the strong man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay! I quite like your kind of guts!" The strong man looked flattered. The old man said: "This man's name is Cheng Fang, and he is the magistrate of our Qinzhou! He is also a descendant of the Fang family, a famous local family. This Fang family is the largest noble family in Qinzhou. It has a history of several hundred years in Qinzhou, and each generation has its own characteristics. There are few people who are serving as officials in the court and localities, and can be said to be the most famous family in Qinzhou!" The strong man turned his head and spat at Cheng Fang.
The old man continued: "When the king of Yan and his master came south, we Qinzhou nobles were like ants on a hot pot. We were extremely frightened! Some people suggested that Cheng Fang surrendered to King Yan, but Cheng Fang not only refused, but said, 'King Yan has deviated from the traditional ways and acted rebelliously. , instead of handing over Qinzhou to the King of Yan, it is better to hand it over to the Yue people. At least the Yue people still abide by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius!'"
The strong man couldn't help but cursed: "I'm Confucius and Mencius's mother! His grandma's! I used to hear them talk about Confucius and Mencius and shut up about Confucius. I thought Confucius and Mencius were some kind of gods, but it turned out to be his mother's disaster. You bastards of the common people! No wonder we were under the rule of Zhao and Song officials and had no food or clothing. We have been making trouble for a long time, but it turned out that it was fucking Confucius and Mencius who was behind it!" Other people also cursed one after another. In their mouths, it was almost like Confucius and Mencius, who have been regarded as gods for thousands of years, scolded individuals for being imperfect, which was simply unimaginable in the past. But now the people are so angry that they don't care about anything.
Shi Liancheng praised: "Good! Well done!" Everyone couldn't help but stop and look at Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng glanced at everyone and said, "My eldest brother, King Yan, saw the despicability of Confucius and Mencius, so he deposed Confucianism!" Then he walked to Cheng Fang. All the people followed. At this time, Cheng Fang was still lying there with his legs in the air, shouting in a low voice, looking very embarrassed and miserable. However, no one present felt sympathy, and they wanted to draw a knife and stab him hard. It took a few cuts to relieve the hatred.
The old man said: "The Yue army came, and the whole city surrendered. The Yue people named him the governor of Guangnan West Road, and then the Yue army entered Qinzhou." At this point, the old man's expression changed and he looked at Xiang Chengfang gritted his teeth and said: "After the Yue people entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Our Qinzhou has turned into a hell! This is all thanks to Master Cheng!"
Shi Liancheng took out the horizontal sword. Cheng Fang was shocked when he saw this, and he didn't know where he got the strength. He actually got up, knelt in front of Shi Liancheng, kowtowed and begged: "General, please have mercy! General, please have mercy! The guilty minister, the guilty minister's original intention is actually to To protect the lives and wealth of the people in Hecheng, who knew the wolf mentality of the Southern Barbarians? After entering the city, they actually did so many heinous things! The criminal also regretted it endlessly! The guilty minister just trusted the Nanman and did not intend to harm the people. , General, please be careful, please be aware!"
Seeing that he was still arguing at this moment, all the people were furious. The strong man cursed: "You bastard! You are so shameless!"
Shi Liancheng picked up Cheng Fang's chin with a horizontal knife and said coldly: "Brother said that there is only one kind of person who cannot be forgiven, and that is a traitor!" Cheng Fang was shocked and wanted to ask for mercy. But he saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes, and almost at the same time he felt a chill on his neck, and then he knew nothing. All the people saw was that Cheng Fang's head was broken back and fell down, and blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain. The hearts of all the people were frightened, and then the pleasure of revenge surged in their hearts.
The old man cupped his fists towards Shi Liancheng and said, "General, I'll take my leave now, the common people." Shi Liancheng felt that this old man spoke clearly, behaved appropriately, and was obviously quite prestigious among this group of people. Now that Qinzhou has just been pacified, everything is waiting to be done. Such people were needed to help Yan Yunjun restore the place, so he asked: "Old man, what is your name?"
When the old man heard Shi Liancheng asking for his name, he quickly bowed and said, "My little old man's name is Cao Chuan."
"Mr. Cao, are you a native of Qinzhou?" Cao Chuan nodded and said, "The little old man has lived in Qinzhou for generations. Our family has probably been in Qinzhou for hundreds of years." Then he sighed: "Decades Not long ago, when the little old man was still a young man, he saw the Yue people slaughtering Qinzhou. The miserable scene seemed to be still in front of him now! Unexpectedly, decades later, when the little old man was about to be buried, he would experience such a scene again. Human catastrophe!" At this point, Cao Chuan couldn't help but burst into tears, while others were either sad or angry.
Shi Liancheng said categorically: "Don't worry, from now on we, the Yanyun Army, will protect you, and the Yue people will never harm you again!" The people looked at Shi Liancheng gratefully. They believed that the Yanyun Army could definitely do it. Because they had all seen the scene of Yan Yun's army sweeping through thousands of troops before. Such a ferocious Vietnamese army was as vulnerable as a flock of sheep in front of a wolf pack in front of the landslide and tsunami-like attack of Yan Yun's army. In an instant, the soldiers Defeated like a mountain falling, running for his life in all directions. Wu Song narrowed his eyes, a cold light radiating from his tiger eyes, and said: "There is also today's blood feud! We Yan Yunjun feel the same and will never let it go like this!" All the people were excited, and the strong man plopped down. He knelt down and said loudly: "General, I want to join the Yanyun Army!" Others also knelt down and shouted that they wanted to join the Yanyun Army. Only the old man named Cao Chuan was still standing, but he also looked ready to move. appearance.
Shi Liancheng helped everyone up, patted the strong man on the shoulder, and said: "I really want to accept you now, but we Yanyun have our own laws. Although I am the general of the army, I have no right to recruit troops." Everyone listened. At this point, the disappointment was palpable. Shi Liancheng smiled and said: "You don't have to be disappointed. Although I don't have the right to recruit troops, you can still join the Yanyun Army. After this war is over, the cabinet will definitely send people to recruit troops from various places. At that time, if you still want to join the army, you can You can apply." When everyone heard this, smiles appeared on their originally disappointed faces.
Shi Liancheng glanced at Cao Chuan and asked everyone: "I think you seem to be very convinced of this old man?" Everyone laughed, and the strong man said: "Dad Cao, he is knowledgeable, responsible, and fair. Back then, he was still Having fought with the Yue people, we neighbors are all convinced by him!" Others nodded in agreement.
Cao Chuan smiled and said: "General, don't listen to them. The little old man is just because he is older, so they listen to the little old man." Shi Liancheng laughed and said: "Old man, there is no need to be modest. I think everyone really respects me from the bottom of his heart." You, definitely not because of your age." Everyone nodded. Shi Liancheng continued: "Now our army has just entered Qinzhou, and Qinzhou has just experienced a catastrophe. At this moment, we need people like the old man to help us in Yanyun and help the local people restore peace and tranquility in Qinzhou. Old man , although I cannot appoint you as an official of Qinzhou, but I ask you to take the lead, organize everyone, help each other, and restore Qinzhou as soon as possible!"
The strong man shouted excitedly: "Great! Dad Cao, the general asked you to do this favor, you can't shirk it!" Others agreed one after another. Cao Chuan hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists towards Shi Liancheng and said, "Since the general thinks highly of the little old man, he will do his best and die! He must live up to the general's trust!" The strong man and others cheered. Shi Liancheng patted Cao Chuan's shoulder, and suddenly his heart moved. He turned back to the desk, took out a command arrow from the wooden box filled with command arrows, and handed it to Cao Chuan's hand.
Cao Chuan took the command arrow and asked in confusion: "General, this is...?" Shi Liancheng smiled and said: "This is the military command arrow I issued the military order. Although I have no right to appoint you as an official, I can I'm giving you a military order," and then said seriously: "Cao Chuan listens to the order!" Cao Chuan couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, he knelt down with the order arrow in both hands, and said loudly: "Cao Chuan is here!" At this moment, Cao Chuan only felt He seemed to have returned to the days when he was young and joined the army.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
