When Feng Jingquan heard this, he hesitated and said: "But between our country of Daliang and the Liao Kingdom, there is a natural chasm called Feiyun Stream, which has caused our Daliang cavalry to break several times. How can we go south smoothly now?"
Qu Huier sneered and said: "Your Majesty, you need to know that man can conquer the sky. The so-called natural chasm depends on who is leading the troops on both sides. I dare to ask your Majesty, if Ye Baiye's army is the main attack, Liao General Ashannu will guard Feiyun. "Jian, what are the chances of Liang Guo winning?" Before Feng Jingquan could speak, he answered by himself, "It will definitely be defeated! But if Ashan Nu is the main attack, and Ye Baiye leads his troops to guard it, what is the chance of victory or defeat? At least in the Between five and five. Therefore, the reason why Feiyunjian is so feared by His Majesty is simply that in the past ten years, the generals sent to attack Feiyunjian are not as good as Ashannu. The army suffered a defeat. You have to find a reason to deal with it, and this is why Feiyunjian is said to be so magical. In my opinion, if it were Li Jian or Wei Qing, anyone would be able to fight."
Feng Jingquan asked cautiously: "Could it be that the emperor's master wanted me to send these two men to lead the troops to attack the Liao Kingdom? But these two are the only good generals left in Daliang. They are all going south to attack. If the Chu Kingdom takes the opportunity to send troops to attack our Daliang, Feng Jingquan asked cautiously. , and how to resist?"
Qu Huier said with a smile: "Famous generals are nothing more than annihilating more enemy troops in the shortest time with minimal battle losses. For the Liang State, with the power of half the country, the Liao State can definitely be destroyed in a short time. , and Wei Qing, as the most outstanding general among the young faction, knows well the importance of military strength and speed, so your Majesty can act like this..."

On the eighth day of June in the fourteenth year of Yonghong, Li Jian, the king of Liang Guoqing, resumed his armor and took the post of commander-in-chief of the three armies. Wei Qing served as deputy general. The two led Liang's 400,000-strong army to attack the Golden Wolf City in Yongzhou. After receiving the news, King Chen Xiong of Chu ordered Baili Jin to lead 300,000 troops to the border to prevent a large-scale attack by the Liang army. Sikong Li, the god of the Chu army, was seriously injured and did not serve as the commander of the trip and stayed in Poyang City. Recuperate with peace of mind.
On June 12, Baili Jin led his army to arrive outside Baishi City, and the army camped on the spot. Baili Jin and Liu Huailiang rode into the city, and were personally received by Ma Gui, an old subordinate who stayed in the city. The three returned to the general's mansion in the city, and Baili Jin asked: "According to intelligence, Li Jian personally led 400,000 troops in the Liang Kingdom, and the army has reached Golden Wolf City. Is the news reliable?"
Ma Gui cupped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the general, Golden Wolf City was completely sealed off three days ago. People in the city are not allowed to enter or leave, even birds and animals. Once they leave the city, they will be shot immediately. The spies lurking in the city cannot spread accurate information. In the past few days, our department has sent several groups of scouts to inquire about the military situation. They were all ambushed by Liang Jun on the way. The brothers were killed and injured, but they did not bring back even a piece of useful information. Now the general does not know Is the news true?"
Baili Jin turned to look at Liu Huailiang and begged: "Now that the news is blocked, ordinary soldiers cannot approach Golden Wolf City. Could you please Sir Liu to go there in person? If Li Jian really comes with a large army, we can be prepared." If Liang Guo is just bluffing, our army now totals 420,000, and we can go all the way south to capture Golden Wolf City first, and then take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Yongzhou!"
Liu Huailiang smiled and said: "Then I'll go ahead and ask the general to wait patiently."
One person and one horse, they left Baishi City and headed for Yongzhou Golden Wolf City. For Liu Huailiang, only Li Xian and Yang Xiu in the Liang Dynasty were slightly better than him in cultivation. Unless these two people were waiting in the city to deal with him together, even if the Liang Kingdom really had 400,000 troops in the city, as long as he was not alone Go deep and leave at any time, no one can stop you.
Approaching Golden Wolf City, he saw a large army camped outside the city. Liu Huailiang knew that he was single and weak, so it was not suitable for a head-on conflict. Earlier, he and Sikong Li massacred all parties outside Baishi City. It seemed majestic, but Liu Huailiang was It is hard to realize that in the final analysis, I am just an ordinary martial artist in the first-level realm, unable to use all things like a master in the heaven-human realm. Although he and Sikong Li won a complete victory in that battle and left their names in history, he also suffered a lot of internal injuries. It was just that he had a strong nature and was unwilling to admit defeat in front of others, so he managed to survive.
Although it was impossible to do so, Liu Huailiang came here mainly to spy on the military situation. He circled the city from a distance and saw that there were large armies stationed on all sides of Golden Wolf City. A rough estimate was that there were 100,000 or 200,000 troops outside the city, plus the troops inside the city. The defenders, thinking the intelligence was true, rode back to the city. Little did he know that there was a person on the tower hiding in the dark, always paying attention to Liu Huailiang's movements.
After it was confirmed that Liu Huailiang returned to Baishi City, the man in the dark walked down the tower and came to a middle-aged general. He cupped his fists and bowed and said: "General Ye, I think Liu Huailiang has been deceived by the illusion outside the city. Now he has Return to Baishi City and prepare to return to life, everything is according to plan."
If Ashan Nu from the Liao Kingdom was present, he would definitely be surprised why Ye Baiye, who has been stationed at Heding City in Jingzhou all year round, would suddenly appear here.
Ye Baiye smiled and said: "Here comes the hero, you and I are working together for the first time. When this happens, we will definitely get drunk!"
The hero Zhan mentioned by Ye Baiye is none other than Zhan Yunfei, a master from the Tang sect in Sichuan who was recruited by Yang Xiu not long ago and submitted to the Liang Dynasty. As the third person in power in the Liang Dynasty, Zhan Yunfei, who is over 40 years old, is now The official is worshiped as a third-rank official, and he is a close minister of the emperor. It can be said that he has both fame and fortune, and the carp leaps over the dragon's gate. This expedition with the army was specifically used to deal with Liu Huailiang.
Zhan Yunfei laughed when he heard this and said: "Then Zhan will wait until he and General Ye get drunk before returning!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After sending Zhan Yunfei away, Ye Baiye climbed up the steps and stepped onto the city tower. Looking at the desert scenery not far away that was completely different from Heding City, he sincerely praised: "Your Majesty is really a god, and he knows things like a god. .”
It turns out that after Feng Jingquan secretly met with Qu Huaire that day, he received the instructions from his master to release the news and deliberately leaked it to Chu and Liao. It was true that Li Jian took command and led the army to the expedition, but the person who led the troops stationed in Golden Wolf City was not. Li Jian, the ever-victorious general of the Liang Kingdom, only had an army of 200,000 men instead of the 400,000 as rumored. The truth is that Ye Baiye rushed to the northern battlefield, led an army to the Golden Wolf City, and vigorously set up military tents outside the city, giving the illusion of a strong military force in Chu. At the same time, Li Jian and Wei Qing each led an army of 150,000 to rush to the battlefield. Lei Zhishi rushed to the aid of Heding City, without giving the two countries a chance to react, and gathered the power of 100,000 garrison troops in the city, a total of 400,000 troops, crossed Feiyun Stream, and annihilated the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop. For this reason, Ye Baiye galloped up his horse and outran no less than three thousand-mile horses, just to give Chu the illusion that Liang was preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Chu, and at the same time buy a little more time for Li Jian and Wei Qing.
After returning to Baishi City, Liu Huailiang brought the information back. Baili Jin frowned when he heard this and said: "It seems that Liang is determined to compete with Da Chu. Ma Gui, please pass on my military order to strengthen the defenses." , send more night patrols to prevent Liang dogs from attacking at any time."
————
But after several days, the defenses in Baishi City were fully prepared, and everyone's hearts were tense, but there was still no movement in Jinlang City. Baili Jin couldn't guess what kind of medicine Liang Jun was selling in the gourd. When he was about to send someone to investigate, a figure fell from the sky with a strong smell of blood and hit the tower heavily. Behind him was a middle-aged scribe who was breathing weakly.
Hearing the noise, Baili Jin and Liu Huailiang hurriedly came out to check. After seeing the face of the person clearly, they exclaimed in unison: "King of Liao!"
