Wei Mingshan was happy to leave the battlefield and ran thirty miles away. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the spies suddenly came to report:
"Your Majesty, the Song cavalry is catching up."
Wei Mingshan was very happy and said: "Are they seeking death? How many people are there!"
The spy said: "There are five thousand cavalry, including 800 heavy cavalry at the head, each with five horses..."
Wei Mingshanxi immediately stopped thinking about turning over to fight, and quickly hit his horse and continued to escape.
At this moment, there was a sudden shouting and golden drums blaring from the front.
"Kill, don't let the Xixia people escape, brothers, kill..."
Wei Mingshan was delighted to see the smoke and dust in front of him, and said in surprise: "No, there is an ambush."
As he said that, he hurriedly changed direction and ran from the side.
The soldiers who were in ambush breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Xixia people had disappeared. When the smoke cleared, they turned out to be only two or three hundred people.
It’s just that everyone has drums in their hands, and the horses are dragging branches and hay...
A valley a hundred miles away from Mizhi City.
Tanesaburo stood on a huge rock, constantly looking into the distance, and said worriedly:
"I don't know if my father and the others have won. Will the Xixia people come here?"
Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Don't worry, young general. I have no plans left. How can he do useless things?"
Hearing this, Tanesaburo jumped off the boulder and said doubtfully:
"Brother Luda has so much confidence in Marshal Cao?"
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said:
"Anyway, I've never seen my uncle make a mistake."
Tanesaburo looked at Cao Bin, who was teasing the beautiful woman in the lee, with envy in his eyes, and whispered:
"You are the marshal's general. Did he reward you with some beauties?"
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "Lu Da is a good man and doesn't like women."
Tanesaburo was so disappointed that he curled his lips and said:
"I don't believe it. I'm afraid the marshal is reluctant to let you ruin a good thing."
Lu Zhi said angrily:
"Fart, I, Ruda, have long passed the age of lust."
"Even if I kill someone, my uncle can settle the case for me."
"Don't talk about a few women..."
When he said this, he was slightly resentful.
He was originally a general under Erlang Zhong, just because Erlang had strict military discipline and never talked about personal affairs.
After Lu Zhishen was aggrieved and accidentally killed someone, he didn't dare to see him at all.
If Zhong Erlang knew about it, he would not be able to escape being punished according to law, so he could only escape alone.
In order to prevent Tanejiro from notifying the government that he was wanted, he even turned into a monk to escape.
Although he was already Cao Bin's subordinate during this meeting, he still felt a little frightened when he met Zhong Erlang.
Relatively speaking, it was much more comfortable under Cao Bin.
At least he is not as ruthless as Tanejiro. Even if he knows that he has a case, he does not dislike it at all.
As long as your character is reliable and your skills are excellent, Cao Bin will never treat you unfairly.
Seeing what Lu Zhishen said, Zhong Sanlang was a little embarrassed. He knew what kind of person his second brother was.
If someone violates the death penalty military law, beheading is a minor offense.
Sometimes, in order to warn others, he would even dig out his heart and lungs, which even he felt was very cruel.
Although Zhong Shiheng taught him many lessons, Zhong Erlang refused to change and could only let it go.
Severe punishments were his unique method of leading troops, and even the court could not say anything.
Lu Zhishen chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, Major General. Uncle Cao has always been generous. If Xixia is destroyed this time, there will definitely be many beauties."
"As long as you kill the enemy bravely, I will tell my uncle and let him reward you with two beauties from the Western Regions."
Tanesaburo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Really?"
Lu Zhishen showed a little pleasure in revenge and said with a smile:
"The beauties from the Western Regions are just a trivial matter, not even the blond and blue-eyed foreign horses."
Xixia occupies the Hexi Corridor, which is an important passage between the east and the west. There are not many merchants in the Western Regions in the Song Dynasty because Xixia has set up too many checkpoints and imposes extremely heavy taxes.
Otherwise, Bianjing would be even more prosperous than it is now.
When Wu Song saw Lu Zhishen bewitching Zhong Sanlang into bad behavior, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and ignored them.
As they were talking, a fast horse suddenly appeared in the valley, running towards this side quickly, panting and saying:
"Reporting to uncle, Deputy Commander Zhong has a great victory, and Weimingshan's defeated army is escaping this way."
"General Zhong Er and General Cao are leading their cavalry in pursuit!"
At this time, Cao Bin had already changed into his show-off clothes, waved the feather fan in his hand, stood up and said with a smile:
"Okay, today we will set fire to the 'Shangfang Valley'!"
Of course, the battle that is about to shock the world cannot be taken lightly. It must be well-dressed so that fans can have a sense of the image in their minds.
Seeing Cao Bin dressed as a scholar and looking at the three beauties around him, Zhong Sanlang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said:
"Marshal Cao is so weak, how can you bear it?"
Lu Zhishen said disdainfully: "Three of you tied together are no match for my uncle."
Although Cao Bin rarely showed off his martial arts skills outside, Lu Zhishen knew his true skills.
If he attacks with all his strength, he is no match for him at twenty, let alone Tanesaburo...
It is not difficult to defeat Weiming Shanxi's remnant army, but what is difficult is how to annihilate them all and capture him.
If he were allowed to escape back to Hengshan Camp, tens of thousands of troops might be gathered.
If Cao Bin wants to solve the future troubles in one fell swoop, he must keep Wei Mingshan Xi here.
In order to ensure that Wei Mingshanxi came to the ambush place according to his intention, Cao Bin arranged many ambush troops to bluff.
In fact, he was not sure whether Wei Mingshan Xi would fall into the trap.
At this moment, Tanesaburo suddenly shouted: "Coming, coming."
Lu Zhishen quickly shouted: "Silence, don't scare the snake."
Tanesaburo reacted immediately, quickly covered his mouth, lay on the cliff and looked down.
After a while, I heard the thunder of horse hooves in the valley, smoke and dust were everywhere, and more than 20,000 horses hurried into the valley.
As he was riding away, Wei Mingshanxi suddenly felt his hair stand on end and his whole body became cold.
He was startled and quickly looked up.
Only the surrounding mountain walls stand tall and the terrain is dangerous, making it a perfect place for an ambush.
He quickly shouted: "Stop!"
His generals stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? There are Song cavalry chasing us behind us!"
Wei Mingshanxi pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "If I were from the Song Dynasty, I would set up an ambush here..."
As he was speaking, a gong suddenly sounded loudly on the mountain, and countless laughter echoed in the valley:
"Wei Mingshanxi, you have fallen into my uncle's scheme!"
Wei Mingshan was overjoyed and frightened. Knowing that he was no longer immune, he kicked his horse hard and shouted loudly:
"Don't look back, keep moving forward, get out of here!"
Countless rockets shot down from the top of the mountain, immediately igniting the dry firewood and oil that had been arranged. For a moment, thick smoke and fire shot into the sky.
At the same time, the Song army above the valley kept throwing down firewood, adding fuel to the fire.
Weiming Shanxi rushed to the entrance of the valley and saw a stone wall blocking the way. There were two to three thousand Song troops hiding behind, staring at him with their divine arms and bows, and he suddenly despaired.
"Cao Bin, Zhong Shiheng, this king curses you not to die a good death!"
As he said this, he was about to commit suicide by cutting his neck. Several of his generals were shocked when they saw this. They quickly took his sword and advised:
"There are few soldiers in Song Dynasty. Your Majesty can pretend to surrender. Once they put out the fire, we will protect your Majesty and rush out!"
At this time, Cao Bin was shaking his feather fan, looking at the miserable figure in the fire below, and said with compassion:
"Hey, burning and killing the same kind of people is harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth!"
Just as he was talking, someone from below suddenly shouted:
"Uncle Cao, stop it. We have surrendered. Please let us out quickly!"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought:
"Let's burn it for a while longer. There are too many enemies and I'm worried!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately stunned. Is this too "compassionate"?
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but roll her eyes several times.
Tanesaburo didn't care so much and said with admiration:
"Uncle defeated many with less, and completely defeated 80,000 Xixia cavalry. He will surely shock both the government and the public, and his name will go down in history..."
