As soon as Mu Hong came on the stage, Yelu Zong's electric advantage was suddenly lost, but he was not afraid. He couldn't parry, so he went in with firewood and naturally turned the corner.
After fighting for a while, Mu Hong also saw the clues and shouted: "Master Chai, it's enough for me and Deng Fei here. It's hard for Ou Peng to stand alone, so we need the help of the senior officials, otherwise we're afraid of falling short!"
Chai Jin secretly felt ashamed. Although he and "Wu Mengde" were inseparable, they were both big brothers in the world, so there was no comparison secretly.
But now it seems that he has lost out to Lao Cao after all - Chai Jin asked himself that although there are thousands of dealers, there are no heroes who are so willing to die.
The judge couldn't help but ask: How could he tell that Mu Hong was ready to die?
But in Chai Jin's eyes, three of his own people could not win against one of the Liao generals. If he were eliminated, 3-1 = 2, wouldn't Mu and Deng be in danger of losing their lives at any time?
Fortunately, he has dealt with many heroes in the world, and he knows that once these people make up their mind, it is difficult to get back. If he were his mother-in-law, he would look down upon him.
He nodded immediately and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay! I will go help Ou Peng. You two must be careful, I will go back quickly!"
After saying that, he jumped out of the battle group and rushed into the Liao camp again: "Brother Ou Peng! Chai comes in to help you!"
As soon as he left, Mu Hong and Deng Fei felt relieved and grinned ferociously at the same time. With a knife and an iron chain, they seemed to come to life, killing Yelv Zong so much that he cried out in pain and missed the days when Chai Jin was around.
Let's talk about Ou Peng, because he was going to camp today, he didn't bring an iron gun with him. Instead, he wielded a big hob in his hand and galloped repeatedly, chopping melons and vegetables. The Liao soldiers would be able to stabilize themselves, but they would be scattered again due to other killings. .
When the Song troops saw it, they rushed forward bravely, and the Liao troops retreated continuously.
At this time, Chai Jin rode his horse and was about to ram into the enemy army. Suddenly, he saw many Liao soldiers holding long spears and waiting. Looking at his own hand, he only had a sword. Although it was inlaid with various gems and was worth tens of thousands, But in this chaotic battle, I'm afraid it won't be as effective as a long stick.
The wonderful thing is that although Chai Jin is used to flattery and doesn't know much about his own family, he is by no means a desperado. With a roll of his eyes, a countermeasure has been devised - he has spears like a forest, I am as immobile as a mountain, and you can do nothing about it. What am I?
At that moment, he reined in his horse, put his sword back into its sheath, and beside the eight-treasure saddle, he gently took the clay-gold magpie-painted treasured eagle bow, attached it to the brocade-feathered armor-throwing wolf-tusk arrow, hid behind the officers and soldiers, and shot -
Although the bow he used was light, it was specially made by a master who spent a lot of money to shoot it quickly and steadily. The arrows were also thin and sharp and of the highest quality. One arrow cost five taels of silver!
This is the ultimate strategy that can only be obtained by paying for the lack of skills. Moreover, although Chai Jin does not like to exert strength, his posture and movements are all carefully tuned by experts. His posture is elegant, his bearing is extraordinary, and he is within five feet. , the arrows were not empty, and soon they shot down a dozen Liao soldiers, including two generals who were fighting with Ou Peng.
With the help of "Little Tornado", Ou Peng is even more powerful, that's exactly——
The roar is like thunder, shaking the horses like the wind, and the water is about to flow back, and the mountains are about to collapse.
It's really like a golden-winged bird in Moyun, catching a dragon through rivers and seas!
Wherever he passed, it was like a bloody alley. How could any ordinary Liao soldiers have an enemy?
Later, when the Song army saw that their general was brave and courageous, they shouted and charged fiercely to kill. The Liao soldiers could no longer hold on. companion.
Ou Peng was overjoyed when he saw it. The enemy formation collapsed and the morale of the army was shattered. Not to mention these armored soldiers and villagers, even the old lady with a rolling pin could kill several of them if they caught up with them.
Chai entered the compartment and shot most of the pot of arrows. Seeing that the enemy was defeated, he felt his arms twitching and sore. He knew that he had exerted his strength, but gritted his teeth and refused to rest. He hung the bow on the saddle and snatched the bow from a villager. With the gun in hand, he reined in his horse and turned back, anxious to save Mu Hong and Deng Fei!
However, within a few steps, he saw Mu Hong and Deng Fei coming towards him on horseback. Mu Hong had a human head tied in front of his horse. He took a closer look and saw that it was Yelu Zongdian!
Mu Hong didn't have time to elaborate, he just shouted: "Officials, the Liao dogs have retreated, you can drive the people to kill the enemy!" After saying this, he ran straight into the Liao camp without stopping.
Chai Jin turned to look at his back, and a thought flashed across his mind: Could it be that... I was the one who held them both back?
Then he shook his head and laughed, but he was confused. After so many years of hard training and the teachings of so many powerful masters, even if he couldn't compare with the same first-rate generals, how many ordinary generals could compare?
Thinking about it, I just spent too much energy on the Liao general, and then Mu Hong turned defeat into victory.
He was not jealous that others were taking advantage of him. He galloped away and ran to the bottom of the city. The people held torches and practiced raising their legs. The smoke and dust they stepped on were everywhere and the ground was shaking. After fighting for a long time, they moved forward for more than ten minutes. step.
Chai Jin cheered up, pointed at the Liao camp, and shouted: "Hey! Brothers and sisters in Cangzhou, please listen to the truth! Just now, I, Chai Jin, personally led the troops and defeated the Liao soldiers. For those of you who want to get rich, let alone Chai. Take the lead - there are a lot of treasures that they robbed in the Liao camp. If you are unlucky and can't pick it up, don't worry. Bring the heads of Liao dogs to my village. Each head is fifty guan, and the money is good. After the two are over, no one can bully an old man!"
After shouting this sentence, there are different teachings: Who knows how cowardly Han'er is? Look at the tigers and wolves in Cangzhou!
Chai Daguan is a golden brand in Cangzhou and has an excellent reputation. The people have no doubt that he will break his promise. With a bang, all the girls rushed towards the Liao camp. From a distance, they saw countless torches surging. Like a fire dragon, it is angry and wants to swallow up the Liao camp.
Not only the strong people below the city, but also the women and children who stayed on the city rushed down.
Not long after, there were only hundreds of milk babies left on the city wall. They couldn't find their mother and grandma, and they cried loudly.
Under the city wall, there was only Chai Jin sitting alone on his horse. He looked down and almost burst into tears - but he didn't know that it was the quick-headed man who took advantage of the chaos and knocked him down with a gun in his hand, a sword in his waist, and a sword in his waist. All the bows and arrows on the saddle went smoothly.
At this moment, his hands were empty, and naturally he couldn't fight. After thinking about it, he simply got off his horse and coaxed these dolls, otherwise they would start running around. On top of the high wall, one of them would climb down and fall, but it was not a joke.
Seeing that the front camp was invincible, Shi Xiu and others also committed suicide in full swing in the back camp.
Because the rear camp was home to civilians, it was extremely messy. Tents, equipment, and felled wood were all placed randomly, making it look like a natural maze. Although there were many Liao soldiers, it was difficult to form a formation. However, Shi Xiu and the other three were at home like a fish in water and were skilled in martial arts. Displayed incisively and vividly.
The three of them didn't just do anything, they also talked a lot. One of them said, "Half a million Song troops are attacking from all sides." The other said, "Look, Yelu's heavy head is here!" Yang Xiong even spoke loudly in Khitan. : "Our army is defeated, our army is defeated!"
In addition, there are tens of thousands of civilians running around, including Tang Long and others who were captured by force. There are even family members who died in the hands of Liao soldiers. They have been unhappy for a long time. Now when they get the opportunity, they pick up their guns and knives and kill the Liao soldiers. People, when Yelu Dezhong came with his troops, the camp was filled with a sea of fire. How could he tell the north, south, west, and east?
Yelu Dezhong was also experienced in fighting. He knew the situation was unstoppable as soon as he saw it. Taking advantage of the soldiers' morale, he decisively ordered his soldiers to contact his son and even the deputy generals, and ordered him to withdraw separately, while he led his troops and horses. They tore down the camp wall, charged out from behind, and rushed back to Qingzhou at starry night.
Shi Xiu and others didn't know that their general was gone, so they fought until dawn. After seeing no Liao soldiers, they retreated.
Counting the casualties, they killed 4,000 Liao soldiers, half of them fled with the soldiers and civilians, and the rest were all surrendered. There were still hundreds of burnt ones whose original identities could not be identified. They also lost more than 2,000 people from their own family, most of them were civilians. The lone people were killed by his remaining soldiers.
Although there were many casualties among the people in Cangzhou, most of them were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. The entire Liao camp was washed away, and the clothes and armor of the dead were stripped off and sold for money.
The Song army only focused on killing the Liao soldiers at night, and most of the corpses of the Liao soldiers they killed were beheaded by the common people, who came to ask for reward from Chai Jin.
Regarding Chai Jin's original intention, he wanted to discover a few brave and talented men. At this moment, thousands of heads were held in front of him, and they all said they were killed by him, but they couldn't laugh or cry.
Fortunately, he was a dignified official from Chai, and he kept his words with integrity. The reward of more than 200,000 copper coins was a lot, but he just said that the free money was not enough, and asked the people if they were willing to exchange it for land. If they were willing to exchange it, they would compare it with the market price. And 20% off.
When the people heard that there was such a good thing, they refused to ask for copper coins, and exchanged them for land deeds one after another, and they all smiled happily.
When Ou Peng and Deng Fei learned about it, they were filled with admiration. However, Mu Hong was born as a big landowner and knew the trick. He smiled and said, "Chai Daguan has done a good job in business. Although the Khitan soldiers were repulsed, are they going to stop here? This Cangzhou It has become a battlefield, and I don’t know who it belongs to in the future, let alone 20% off, I won’t buy it even if it’s even 10% off!”
Shi Xiu said with a smile: "He never asked for money. From the common people, he got it for free. But Boss Mu was right. The Liao Kingdom will not give up easily this time. Even if he is defeated, he will not give up easily." After all, there are few people and the damage is limited. When he comes back, there will definitely be a fierce battle."
He glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "My brother, Boss Mu and I, together with Chai Daguan, will take the opportunity to reorganize the Cangzhou city defense. Lao Oupeng will go to Hejian Mansion to ask for reinforcements, and Deng Fei will return to Qingzhou to see Brother Wu. How to advocate!”
After the two received the order, they immediately set off separately. Deng Fei, on his part, rushed back to Cao's mansion at high speed, arriving just on the day when Lao Cao was delighted to receive a daughter of gold.
When Cao Cao saw that he was busy with work, he knew that there must be something important. He immediately put away his joy and took him to the study. All the brothers in the house had not left yet, so they went to discuss it.
Deng Fei then congratulated Lao Cao on his daughter, and told all the previous events. Lao Cao was shocked when he heard that the Khitan invaded in a large scale: "Huh? He fought against the Jin Kingdom with all his strength, but he couldn't hold back, and he came to attack the Song Kingdom. ?”
Zu Shiyuan said: "From what I can see, the Liao people's plan is not to stop their losses by attacking? Although they lost the city and lost territory, they made up for it with the territory of the Song Dynasty. No matter how big the appetite of the Jin Dynasty, they still had enough to eat. At that time, if he can conquer the area north of the Yellow River, he will be able to establish a country even if he loses all his homeland."
Xia Houhu muttered: "What Brother Ancestor saw must be good! His move looks like a broken jar, but if he really beats it, it has great advantages. After all, Song and Liao were at peace for a hundred years, and they exchanged what they had and what they had and customs. There are many similarities in the system, and there are many Han officials there. If they conquer the Song Dynasty, it will be easier to govern than the Jin people who govern the Liao Dynasty."
Fang Xuedu sneered and said: "Xiahou Xiandi's words 'break the jar, break the fall' are all about the sufferings of the Liao people. If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to do, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come up with this strategy. This strategy is just a big gamble. If If the Song army holds Hebei, won't it perish faster?"
Lao Cao laughed and said: "This is exactly what you want to do if you want to win, and if you don't win, you will die. In short, you have to die, sooner or later, it makes no difference. I think the situation in Liao is exactly the word "desperate"!"
At this point, Lao Cao became interested and placed six cups on the coffee table in front of him: "If we talk about what he can choose, there are only six ways: war, peace, surrender, defense, or walking." , or die.”
"If it comes to a debate, he has been fighting with the Jin people for several years. The country's power will be completely exhausted, and there will be no hope of victory!" After saying this, he took out a cup.
"If it's about peace, it's not just one time for him to ask for peace. The Jin people talked about fighting, obviously it will never end, and it can't be done anymore." He took another cup.
"There is no need to talk about death. When you are really desperate, you have to die even if you don't want to. There is no need to talk about leaving. Although the world is big, everyone has his own master. Where can he go? To the north is the Snow Land, to the south is the Song Dynasty. There is the sea to the east, Xixia to the west, and beyond it is a vast desert. Even if we are willing to follow Xuanzang's journey to the west, how many people in such a big country can follow him across the vast sea?" After that, he took out two more cups.
Although Lao Cao was very wise, he never could have guessed that in the original time and space, when the Dashi Linya country was ruined and desperate, he actually led a lone army and went thousands of miles away to re-establish the country. It once became strong and powerful, and more than eighty years later , and was destroyed by the Mongols.
This kind of behavior, if viewed at this time, is even less reliable than attacking the Song Dynasty, and it was definitely beyond what Lao Cao could have expected.
At this time, there were only two cups left on the coffee table. Lao Cao pointed at it and said: "Today in the Liao Dynasty, there are only two ways, to defend or to surrender. However, even if you want to defend, the situation is like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to defend, and he will only die a few days later." ." He said and went for another drink.
"If you want to survive, there is only one way, which is to surrender. Choose one of the three surrenders: Jin, Xia, or Song. If you surrender, the Jurchens will be barbaric and unreasonable. I am afraid they will just survive, and it will not last long. If you surrender Xixia is a temporary way out, after all, the leader of Xixia is his son-in-law, but Xixia is small and weak, so if the Jurchens pursue it, it will be difficult to save it."
Xia Houhu laughed after hearing this and said: "In this case, doesn't he have only one way to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "If we want to survive, we should surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, the two countries have been allies for hundreds of years and have a brotherly agreement. If you bring Youyun Sixteen Provinces to surrender, a submissive king will probably be sealed. And the boss of the Song Dynasty , Jin people don’t know what is true and what is false, so they may not dare to act rashly.”
Fang Xuedu said curiously: "In this case, if he doesn't surrender and instead attacks, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"
Lao Cao shook his head, took away the last cup, and sighed: "If the Khitan Empire wants to surrender, what is the difference between death? Even if it were me, I would not surrender for the sake of surrender."
He was silent for a moment, but took back the first cup he took away: "That's why I just said that he has no other way out. Now that the matter has come to this, let's just have a war! If you can't defeat the Jin Kingdom, then fight the Song Dynasty. Song Dynasty No matter how strong the army is, it must not be stronger than the Jin army. Is there a chance of survival after death, or is there an opportunity? Even if the battle leads to death and the country is destroyed, he can still be regarded as a descendant of Yelu Abaoji!"
Speaking of this, his momentum gradually rose, and he stood up and looked to the north: "Brothers, when the Khitans are alive and dead, there is still such pride, how can we sit here? Since he wants to abandon the land of Youyun, I will I don’t want to let the Jurchens take it easy! Therefore, for the sake of my brother, and regardless of the disputes in Hebei, I only raised an elite force, sailed from Dengzhou to Jizhou, and annexed Youyun!"
After hearing this, everyone was shocked. They thought that the most that Lao Cao could do was to send a few brothers to lead troops to support the front line in Hejian Mansion and Cangzhou. Unexpectedly, Lao Cao had a huge appetite and wanted to get ahead of his daughter. Before the real people, restore the old Han Dynasty!
After being shocked, they couldn't help but get excited, and they all stood up: "If my brother wants to send troops, I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Cao Cao laughed: "Hahahahaha, don't fight for it. I have my own plans for sending troops this time - it's not the time for a big move yet. I only bring five thousand elites, and I don't want any vanguards. For my brother's sake Where the flag is, he is both the commander and the vanguard!”
Before he finished speaking, the door of the study room was suddenly knocked open. Everyone looked at him anxiously. It was not the person next to him, but Hu Sanniang, the senior wife of the Wu Mansion. Although she was dressed normally, she held the sun and moon swords in her hands, raised her willow eyebrows, and stared at her phoenix eyes, shouting. : "How many months have you been back now? Are you going to fight again? In the past, I just did whatever you wanted, but how can the Liao Kingdom be easy to fight? Although I don't know the art of war, I also know that crossing the sea alone, with enemies in front and behind, must be dangerous! Humph, you If you decide to go, we are one man and wife, and I will definitely go with you! If you have a concubine in the army, your husband will have to be more careful when planning his march."
When Lao Cao heard what she said, he was not allowed to go. He immediately frowned. After hearing this, he realized his wife's intention and couldn't help laughing: "Madam, I'm afraid that you don't mean what you say. I have always used troops, so why not?" Cautious? In my opinion, you want to keep an eye on your husband, fearing that I will bring the princess of Liao back!"
When the brothers saw the quarrel between his wife and his wife, they were frightened at first. Now they couldn't help but laugh when they heard what Lao Cao said. They all said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will keep an eye on your brother for you."
Hu Sanniang said angrily: "Bah! When did you catch him?"
Suddenly she saw Du Bu grinning like a toad and smiling brightly. Hu Sanniang's mind changed, and her anger turned into a smile: "I know how to keep an eye on my husband, but Du is a big man, not too young, and now all Yuan Lu and others are begging for wives." , but he is alone, how can this be the end? If my sister-in-law really captures the princess of Liao during this expedition, she will make matchmaking with Brother Du. "
Du Bo was overjoyed after hearing this, and his big mouth became more and more difficult to close: "Ah, ah, ah, brother, in fact, my sister-in-law is a hero, so I might as well bring my sister-in-law with me!"
As he spoke, ashes fluttered on his face, and two red clouds rolled up. He looked at Hu Sanniang and said shyly: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I am not like those picky people. Even if I can't catch his princess, I will not be a princess, queen, or queen mother." Tolerable.”
After everyone heard this, they laughed until they fell down. Lao Cao also smiled, but he looked at Hu Sanniang. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lao Cao said softly: "Sending troops to release horses is very hard work. Madam, do you really want to go?"
This is exactly what it is: carrying a long sword without hesitation, and wearing a battle robe while the sky is high. But if Cao Cao is brave enough, five thousand warriors can conquer Liao.
