Yelu Guanyinnu had just returned to the palace with Chang Qinglian when a subordinate sent a secret report.
After reading the secret report, the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows instantly turned extremely red, and her fair jade face was filled with anger:
"Xiao Gulu is a loser. Our Zhennan Academy has handed over detailed information to him, but he was still defeated by the Song people."
"Now, you are blaming me for the poor performance of Zhennan Hospital. It is really unreasonable!"
Xiao Gulu was the commander-in-chief of the Liao Army's East Route and the nephew of Empress Dowager Xiao. He was known as the Fire Gourd King. He was highly skilled in martial arts and deeply trusted by the Liao Emperor.
Yelu Guanyin slave never thought that it was his own plan that failed, but he put the shit basin on Zhennanyuan's head.
I was absolutely furious.
Chang Qing Lian saw her mother angry and was about to leave quietly, but heard her say:
"I want to go to Song Dynasty in person, but I want to see how powerful the people of Song Dynasty are."
Chang Qinglian immediately stopped and said quickly: "I'll go too!"
Yelu Guanyinnu's expression flashed with anger, and he was about to drive away, but suddenly his eyes changed and he said:
"You can come with me, but don't leave me even half a step away. You must obey my orders in everything."
When Chang Qing Lian heard this, he immediately smiled.
Since her last mission to the Song Dynasty, she had been punished by Yelu Guanyin Nu and put in solitary confinement. She had not traveled for more than half a year.
This time I go south, I may see Cao Bin again...
Yelu Guanyinnu also has his own plans.
At this stage of the Song-Liao War, even if Empress Dowager Xiao was ill, she could no longer hide it. This trip was just an opportunity to escape...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the weather in the north is getting colder and colder, almost to the point where dripping water turns into ice.
The Liao army besieged Zhending several times, and after returning home defeated, they began to rob.
There were even a few cavalry troops bypassing Zhending Mansion and plundering southward.
On this day, the emperor had just sent people over to summon the generals to discuss countermeasures, but Shi Qian suddenly came to report:
"Master Marquis, these days, Zhu Biao is just quietly making marks in the city. He makes no other moves and no one responds."
"... I have a small suspicion. There are no Liao spies left in the city."
Cao Bin did not believe that the Liao people did not have lurking power in Zhending City.
The reason why they didn't show up was probably because they no longer believed in the Zhu brothers, or they thought they were worthless.
Cao Bin touched his chin and muttered:
"It seems that the Zhu brothers are determined to commit treason? Maybe we should help them now."
Shi Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized it immediately and said with a smile:
"My Lord Marquis's ancient ways are so heart-warming, I hope all the brothers in the Zhu family will shed tears of gratitude!"
Cao Bin glanced at him with disgust and said:
"Don't use random words!"
With that said, he walked straight to the emperor's camp.
Shi Qian was a little confused. He looked at Cao Bin's back and murmured to himself:
"Is there any taboo about this word?"
Not long after Cao Bin arrived at the camp, the emperor arrived.
First, they asked about countermeasures, and then began to select a commander.
Originally, according to the official position, no one could surpass Pan Renmei, the privy envoy, but the Yang family had deep conflicts with him.
As soon as the emperor proposed the idea, Taijun She and Mu Guiying fiercely opposed it.
Pan Renmei also opposed Mu Guiying as commander-in-chief, and the two sides almost fought.
It was Kou Zhun's suggestion that Cao Bin temporarily serve as commander-in-chief, which finally settled the quarrel.
He is now the "Champion General", half a rank higher than Mu Guiying in terms of official position, and is fully qualified to command this military operation.
When the Yang family saw that Cao Bin was the commander-in-chief, they had no objection and readily accepted it.
After the discussion, Cao Bin did not delay and immediately beat the drum to raise the tent, intending to summon the generals to assign tasks.
Cao Bin sat high on the throne and saw all the generals gathered together. He was not polite:
"Your Majesty has ordered me to take charge of the fight against the Liao Dynasty. I have some plans. All generals must keep them in mind. Anyone who is sloppy will be punished!"
As he spoke, he began to describe his plan:
"I want to implement the iron wall and spider web strategy within a radius of thousands of miles. First..."
Guerrilla warfare requires a mass base. Although the Liao army came and went like the wind, there was no cooperation from the people.
Moreover, Hebei is the border between Song and Liao. The people are fierce and strong, and many strongholds are formed to protect themselves. It is not easy for the Liao army to grab things.
As long as the neighboring military strongholds keep watch and help each other, and then use beacon fire to cooperate with the main army, the Liao army will surely be defeated.
He explained his plan one by one and explained it in detail, and it took him more than half an hour to finish.
Then he glanced seriously at the generals for a week, and then asked sharply:
"Do you understand everything?"
The generals quickly raised their hands and said:
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we already understand."
Cao Bin suddenly smiled, pointed at Zhu Biao who was confused and said:
"Zhu Biao, please recite it. What are the key points of what I just said?"
Zhu Biao looked confused and stepped out bravely: "Here, Lord Marquis, I..."
At this time, he had already begun to curse his mother secretly.
Marde, when I was in private school, I was most afraid of memorizing articles.
You have been talking for most of an hour, but who can recite it, not even if the gods come?
Seeing his appearance, Cao Bin slapped the boxes in front of him and said angrily:
"Zhu Biao, you dare to be distracted when I am explaining military affairs, and you dare to neglect military orders at this time."
"Someone is coming..."
The two guards immediately ran up.
"Pull him down and beat me with a hundred military sticks to set an example."
When the generals heard this, they immediately trembled and all cheered up.
Oh my god, a hundred military sticks, are they going to beat him to a pulp?
At this moment, everyone turned into primary school students and hurriedly lowered their heads to look at the ground, fearing that Cao Bin would call them.
Mu Guiying looked at Cao Bin in confusion, wondering what he was up to.
But she didn't speak, wanting to see what Cao Bin was going to do.
Upon seeing this, Luan Tingyu quickly left the class and said:
"Master Marquis, please spare Zhu Biao. It's his first time participating in a military meeting and he doesn't understand the rules..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Bin looked at him and said:
"Okay, since you are interceding on his behalf, you must have written down my plan. Come on, start reciting it!"
Luan Tingyu was immediately dumbfounded. Seeing Cao Bin looking at him with eager eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stammered:
"First......."
After only memorizing a few sentences, he couldn't memorize it anymore.
Cao Bin waved his hand casually and said: "Pull down, one hundred military sticks!"
As he spoke, he looked at the generals and said, "Whoever wants to intercede on their behalf should recite my plan first!"
Hearing this, the generals' heads were pierced again, and no one dared to look into Cao Bin's eyes.
Even Zhu Long and Zhu Hu didn't dare to speak.
They know what their mission is, but they cannot recite the overall plan. How can they remember so much?
Everyone secretly complained, why didn't they find out before that Lord Cao was so perverted?
Is this a fight or a class?
The private school teacher only slaps the palms of his hands, it’s life-threatening for him!
Even Lu Junyi felt a little uneasy...
When Zhu Biao saw that the two guards were coming, he quickly shouted:
"Master Marquis, Zhu Biao doesn't dare to pester Sanniang anymore. Please spare this villain."
At this time, he couldn't care less about his face. If he really beat him with a hundred army sticks, his life would probably be handed down here.
When the generals heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that this guy harassed the female relatives around the Marquis and was punished like this, so he was relieved.
At the same time, they secretly warned themselves that they must not approach the woman that the Marquis likes in the future, otherwise this Zhu Biao would end up.
Mu Guiying was a little speechless. She originally thought that Cao Bin had some deep meaning, but she didn't expect that it was just public revenge.
He still can't change his unreliable problem... Once he has the power, he does whatever he wants.
Cao Bin ignored Zhu Biao and had someone pull him down.
After a while, the shrill screams of Zhu Biao and Luan Tingyu came in.
For a moment, the faces of the generals in Shuai Yamen turned pale and they did not dare to express their anger for fear of upsetting Cao Bin.
Two quarters of an hour later, two guards ran in and said:
"Master Marquis, I only hit fifty military sticks before General Zhu fainted."
Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"I have always been kind, so I will spare him this time."
After hearing this, the generals were about to let out a sigh of relief when they heard Cao Bin continue:
"For the next ten days, I'll give you five sticks every day until I finish..."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. This Marquis really held a grudge. It would be better to fight him all at once.
Slowly piercing the flesh with a knife, this beating will make Zhu Biao remember him for the rest of his life...
