Fan Rui was injured not long ago, and Li Ji shot an arrow through the pipa bone. Cao Cao was worried that if he went to Fan Rui again, he would have no choice but to rely on his horse spirit to resist if he encountered a heretical person again.
Who would have thought that everything would come to him, he wanted to drink milk, his mother came, he missed his family, and his uncle came to the child——
He was worried about the lack of an expert to control the battle. A "dragon entering the clouds" suddenly appeared out of thin air. Could it be that Jiaopo met the pink customer and they hit it off immediately.
Another group of brothers talked about how dangerous He Chongbao's magic was. Old Cao was frightened and frightened, and he paid more attention to Gongsun Sheng. He held hands and refused to let go, saying only: "Sir, you are so talented. I hate you." It’s not too early to meet.”
Gongsun Sheng's face turned red. He wanted to say that we should have met last year, but unexpectedly, that Jurchen witch used all kinds of tricks to trap me in the trapped immortal formation for more than half a month. I finally found a way to escape. Where can I find your whereabouts? I had to go back to the mountain to see the master. But the master said: "Our fate is still shallow, but I hope to meet you someday." It has been delayed until now, and then he asked me to go down the mountain again...
After all, he wanted to save face, but when he said it, he changed it to: "I left Liangshan Mountain and returned to Erxian Mountain to serve my mother and mentor. Until yesterday, master Luo Zhenren had a whim and calculated that the Emperor Star was coming to the north, and the evil disaster was coming. Then I asked my little brother to go down the mountain and just go to Youzhou, and I will see the results of my achievements. As expected, I saw the Liao dog showing off his demonic power. Fortunately, the master had already taught the Five Thunder Tiangang Zhengfa, which was the nemesis of his demonic arts."
When he said this, Lao Cao naturally had a hard time knowing that Gongsun Sheng was the "ox-nosed Taoist" in the mouth of Our Lady of Wuling. He had prevented Our Lady of Wuling from overturning the cliff and had already saved his life.
However, his respect did not diminish. Hearing that Gongsun Sheng was an emperor, he was secretly happy and said quickly: "Sir, he is a master of Taoism and mystical skills. I believe that your respected master is a man among the gods. When I conquer the North, you will be the best." Take a bath and burn incense, go to famous mountains in person, and pay homage to the immortal master.”
Gongsun Sheng said happily: "It is a blessing for me, Erxian Mountain, that my brother has such good intentions. I should accompany you there."
The two of them exchanged greetings, and the words you said to me made sense, and the situation in the scene changed again——
Xu Ning and Li Chuneng, the infantry marshal of the Liao and Han troops, fought until they were twenty years old. Suddenly, he shot his opponent in the face. When he was crossing his arms to cover his frame, he flicked the gun, and the big red gun tassel exploded. Unfamiliar flowers obscured his sight, and the spear head immediately fell down and was suddenly dragged back. The hook on the spear flashed with cold light, cutting off the front hooves of Li Chuneng's mount.
The horse neighed sadly, fell forward, and knocked its owner off its back. Before he could throw himself to the ground, Xu Ning quickly fired a shot, hitting his throat, and he was dead on the ground.
Li Chuwen, the prime minister of the Liao Dynasty, was fighting with Guan Sheng. He was already defeated by three or two moves. At this moment, seeing his brother died in the battle, he became more and more frightened. Guan Sheng wanted to show his majesty. He raised the reins, and the red rabbit and horse stood up. Guan Sheng sat firmly. With his saddle and spear, he swung the sword with one hand and slashed it down high, cutting Li Chuwen, his horse and man into four pieces.
——In the original time and space, when the Liao Kingdom was in danger, this man supported Yelu Chun to usurp the throne. He was so powerful that he once reached the high position of Marshal of the Infantry and Infantry Command of the Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he died under Guan Sheng's sword at this time.
A large ball of blood exploded, causing Xiao Daguan, the Dou Mu Xie, and Guo Yongchang, the Kui Mu Lang, to suffer from liver and gallbladder injuries. They each used a move and took the opportunity to escape.
Jing Muyan and Tong Lihe also wanted to escape. How could "Jingmu Quan" Hao Siwen be willing to let him go? A spear was tightly entangled, Tong Lihe was panicked, and his marksmanship couldn't help but become scattered. He was already slightly weaker than Hao Siwen, but now it was getting worse and worse, making it increasingly difficult to hold on.
Hao Siwen became more and more courageous as he fought. The reed gun was fired, and two shots were fired. Tongli was shot in the thigh and waist at the same time. Hao Siwen shouted: "Today, I will let you know who is the real Jing Muyan." '!"
After saying that, he shot hard into the chest. Tong Lihe's mouth was full of blood, and he fell off the horse.
At this time, Xiao Daguan and Guo Yongchang had already rushed more than ten feet away. Seeing that Jin Ding and Huang Yue could not catch up, Shi Wengong took off his carved bow and fired two arrows in a row, both of which hit the back and center. The two Liao generals turned over After somersaulting, Jin Ding and Huang Yue caught up and took the head.
Nearly half of the more than a thousand Liao troops who came with Li Chuwen were killed, and the rest dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.
At this point, there is no longer an organized enemy in Youzhou City.
Originally, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his city. If they were to defend the city, even though Lao Cao's troops were powerful, it would be difficult to capture them head-on. But now, just to get the wealth of Lu County, tens of thousands of people went into battle, and Lao Cao was killed in one fell swoop. Although the capture of this majestic city was due to Lao Cao's layout, it also shows that the luck of the Liao Kingdom has reached its end.
Lao Cao himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He was very happy in his heart, but his expression didn't show it. He issued orders one after another in an orderly manner.
Shiling Hu Yanzhuo led five hundred tiger cavalry, led the surrendering troops, and swept through the palace city in one fell swoop. All those who resisted were eradicated, and all the concubines, princes and others of Wei King Yelu Chun were captured.
He also used the surrendered army to lead the way, and sent Shi Bao and Li Tianrun to take away the families of Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and others. They did not kill them, but found a clean and spacious mansion and put all the family members under house arrest until they were released.
At this time, Qin Ming and Hua Rong captured all the eight gates of Youzhou, and Lao Cao ordered the gates to be closed tightly to prevent internal and external news.
So far, three of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom have been lost:
The Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo and the Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing were captured by Jurchens first. The Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing was Youzhou and was occupied by Cao Cao.
Dading Prefecture in central Beijing was attacked day and night by the Jin Kingdom, and it was unknown when it would fall. Only Datong Prefecture in Xijing was still in the hands of the Liao Kingdom.
But it is said that Wei Princess Xiao's maiden name is Xiao Pu Xiannu, nicknamed Yao Ge Niangzi, this girl has a virtuous name, she is the successor of King Yelu Chun of Wei, and she is young and beautiful.
The next day, when Lao Cao heard Hu Yanzhuo talking about this matter, he couldn't help but be curious. He thought to himself: It would be fine if it was someone else. Since she is the concubine of the King of Wei, why not go and take a closer look?
At that moment, he asked Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to accompany him, and he was about to take a look with great interest. When he walked to the door, he suddenly saw Hu Sanniang coming on horseback——
It turned out that she had taken Princess Tianshou into custody yesterday. As soon as she arrived at Lu County, a scout came and sent an order to General Cao Cao. He dispatched Lin Chong and others to rush to Youzhou and transferred Meng Kang to lead the navy to guard Lu County, so he took Princess Tianshou with him. , returned together with Lin Chong and others.
Hu Sanniang and Princess Tianshou didn't know each other since they had never fought each other. They talked in good faith along the way, but they both developed a good impression of each other.
After entering the city, she found out that Lao Cao had imprisoned the King of Wei and a group of important ministers and their children. Princess Tianshou repeatedly begged Hu Sanniang to imprison her there so that she could take care of the female relatives nearby and avoid being bullied and harassed.
Hu Sanniang felt that she was in the enemy's hands but she still had thoughts of protecting others, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
After the two of them had found out where they were, they hurried over and unexpectedly met Cao Cao.
Hu Sanniang took a quick look and saw that her husband was freshly dressed inside and out. His face was full of spring breeze. She felt a little in her heart. She immediately sank her pretty face and asked face to face: "Husband, this is where the female relatives of the Liao Kingdom are imprisoned, but you come here and want to What's the matter?"
Lao Cao was shocked, but his expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "I am trying to persuade these female relatives. Each of them has written a letter home to summon the male master of the family to surrender to me."
Seeing that he was looking frank, Hu Sanniang put her mind at ease and took the initiative to say, "If that's the case, it would be better for me to let you talk to me on an equal footing. We are both women and it is easier to talk to each other."
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, knowing that the opportunity had been lost. He was a hero who took decisive action when it was necessary. He immediately nodded and said: "That's fine! Ask two brothers, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, to accompany you to prevent them from getting angry and hurting others in a hurry. .”
After saying that, he was about to leave. Suddenly he saw a girl behind Hu Sanniang, glaring at her. She couldn't help but stop and said with a smile: "This is the princess of Liao Kingdom that Madam captured? The one you want to marry to Du Bu?"
After hearing this, Princess Tianshou jumped on her feet and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want me to marry that ugly man, you must kill me now."
Lao Cao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "My brothers are all upright heroes. Are they not worthy of a mere Khitan woman like you?"
Princess Tianshou shouted: "Are Khitan women inferior to others? In short, if you want to kill me, please do as you please. If you want to marry me, you will die."
The two were about to argue when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves. It was Lin Chong who came to Youzhou and could not find Cao Cao. His colleagues inquired about his location and came here specially to see him.
Lin Chong jumped off his horse, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Brother, you are really extravagant. Youzhou is such a big city. Unexpectedly, I took it so smoothly."
Cao Cao looked at Lin Chong up and down, and then at Princess Tianshou who was full of dissatisfaction. Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He pulled Lin Chong and said with a smile: "Brother, didn't Brother Yu say he wanted to find a good match for you? What do you think of this woman?"
Lin Chong turned his head and looked at Princess Tianshou in astonishment. He immediately blushed and said with a forced smile: "Brother is joking. I've been here for a long time. How old is she? No, no."
When Princess Tianshou heard this, she suddenly felt dissatisfied. She stared and said, "Hey! It's strange. Before I opened my mouth, you kept talking about things that don't suit you. Is it possible that I, the noble princess, am not worthy of you as a martial artist?"
Lin Chong's face turned even redder, and when he was about to speak, Lao Cao's eyes widened and he shouted: "What do you, a Khitan woman, know? This brother of mine is the first-class hero among the Han people! When it comes to martial arts, the world can compete with him. There are only a few who can match her. In terms of character, his wife has refused to rekindle her relationship even after her death. She is full of deep affection, which is rare in the world. In terms of appearance, she can also be said to have a dignified appearance and a majestic body. It is natural that she should be looked down upon. righteous."
Princess Tianshou said angrily: "What makes you look down on me? Do you think I can't understand Chinese? He clearly said that he was old and therefore ashamed of himself."
Cao Cao laughed loudly and shook his head like a rattle: "You woman is really stupid. Do you think only women can tell the truth? I'll teach you a lesson today. In fact, men often don't tell the truth, especially those with a pure nature like my brother. Man, if he made it clear that he didn't like you, wouldn't it hurt you? So he didn't want to, so he just talked about his age."
Princess Tianshou was dumbfounded after hearing this, but she was not stupid, and then asked: "If you say that, why do you want to tell the truth?"
Cao Cao sneered and said: "I'm not afraid of hurting you, so naturally I have something to say."
After hearing this, the princess was stunned for a long time, then looked at Lin Chong and asked him: "What's wrong with me? Why do you look down on me?"
Lin Chong's face was as red as a cloth. He wanted to explain, but he didn't dare to brush off Cao Cao's kindness, so he had to turn his head away.
Cao Cao patted Lin Chong and said warmly: "Brother, I have captured many noble girls from the Liao Kingdom for my brother. If you don't like Khitan girls, there are also Han girls. I will slowly look for this girl for you. If you don't like it, just give it to Du Bo."
Princess Tianshou was shocked when she heard this: "Hey! Are these two brothers the only ones you have? If you force me to marry that man, I will have no choice but to die."
After all, his Khitan custom was different from that of the Han family. It was common for him to capture the enemy's women as wives, so he was not surprised by this.
Cao Cao sneered and said: "Although I have many brothers, there are only two of them without families. One of them you don't like, and the other one doesn't like you. Although the melon is not sweet, it can quench your thirst at least, so I have to marry you." Give it to Du Bo, as for whether you live or die, what does it have to do with me?"
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng saw Cao Cao's deception, and then saw Princess Tianshou's beauty and naive temperament. They couldn't help but shout: We two have no mother-in-law! But how dare you compete with Lin Chong? They all reluctantly nodded, meaning that my brother was right, we are the brothers with families.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was about to take Lin Chong away. Princess Tianshou stamped her foot and shouted: "Since you are determined to twist the melon, why not twist this brother of yours? You, you, you... I know, you can't hold a bowl of water flat." , in your heart, the one named Du is much more important than this blushing one."
Cao Cao almost burst out laughing when he saw how aggressive she was against him. Hu Sanniang shook her head repeatedly, thinking that this woman was crazy. She was playing tricks on a husband like me, who had eight hundred scheming ideas. Wouldn't she be trying to kill herself? Put it in?
Lao Cao suppressed his laughter and deliberately pretended to fall into the trap, and said angrily: "Nonsense, all my brothers are regarded as brothers, how can I treat one favorably over another? You woman, don't talk nonsense and ruin the loyalty of my brothers."
Princess Tianshou was very proud, and said with a sweet smile: "Is it true? I don't believe it! Then why do you only care about your brother who has no wife, and don't care about this one?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "My brother doesn't like you, so what else can I say?"
Princess Tianshou got angry again after hearing this. She was a Khitan woman after all, but her face was much thicker than that of Han women in the Central Plains. She suddenly summoned up the courage to walk up to Lin Chong and said tentatively: "Hey, if I don't mind your age, Do you really dislike me?"
Poor Lin Chong, had he ever seen such a battle in his life? Suddenly he couldn't sit still. He would rather rush into the formation of 100,000 people alone than wait for a moment longer. He wanted to turn around and escape, but his feet seemed to be tied with iron chains, heavy and unable to move. He only said: "This, that..."
Hu Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore and interjected: "Brother Lin, when a man is cut off, he should be cut off. Girls have let go of their reserve. How can you become more reserved? My sister-in-law has a soul in heaven, and she must hope that you will be loved and cherished. Have some warm days.”
After saying these words, Lin Chong's eyes turned red and he sighed: "I didn't look down on anyone..."
Before she finished speaking, Princess Tianshou cheered and looked at Cao Cao: "Hey, you heard it. He agreed, but you can't break your promise and favor one thing over another..." At this point, she felt blushing and ran in. In the mansion where the female family members are under house arrest.
Lin Chong felt his head was dizzy.
Since his wife's death, he had never thought about renewing their relationship. He had been accustomed to living a lonely and deserted life for several years. But deep down, among ordinary people, who doesn’t envy those warm days? Why does he have such a preference for Guan Sheng's son? It is precisely because of the loneliness in my heart.
Now Lao Cao is committed to renewing his marriage. Although he feels sorry for his late wife, he still does not want to betray his brother's good intentions. Besides, he is a strong and fierce man who has been a virgin for many years. How can he not think about it, both physically and mentally?
At this moment, the sweet fragrance of the princess still carries with her breath, and it is inevitable that her head will feel dizzy.
He just fainted, but his consciousness was still there, and he whispered: "Brother, I just listened to you, but this woman is going to be given to Du Bo. If she is given to me, won't there be suspicion among the brothers?"
Lao Cao waved his hands and said: "Your wife is much harder to find than Du Bo! He just admires the beauty of this princess, so he wants to find someone with better looks for his brother - the princess of Yelu Chun, she is so beautiful. Qixian is also a descendant of the Khitan, and her status and appearance match him in every possible way, so I went back and found an opportunity to tell him about it. He himself also said that he would like to hear about the princess and the queen."
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang was surprised and said: "Then Yelu Chun is still alive, how can his princess be willing to marry someone else?"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Not to mention anything else, just because this guy has been granted the title of King of Wei, he is destined to die. When he dies, I will marry his mother-in-law again."
Hu Sanniang was speechless for a moment.
Lao Cao laughed loudly, said goodbye to Hu Sanniang, and took Lin Chong back to the government office to handle the political affairs in the city.
Speaking of which, Youzhou City covers an area of thirty-six miles. The city walls are three feet high and five feet wide. There are twenty-six squares in the city and 300,000 residents. The Han, Khitan, Xi, and Bohai ethnic groups are mixed together. It is a famous and majestic city in the north.
Lao Cao only had more than four thousand men at hand. Although they were all powerful troops, he did not dare to neglect them. After closing the city gate yesterday, he sent out ten brothers, each with a hundred people, and let the local old officials lead them to patrol the city in sections. Those who took advantage of the chaos, regardless of loyalty or treachery, high or low, were beheaded and abandoned in the market.
In the next three days, more than 4,000 people were killed in total, and the market was safe.
Hundreds of people who wanted to escape from the city to report the news were also captured, and they were tortured and tortured to testify against their masters. As a result, more than 30 families were exterminated and more than 3,000 people were killed, all of whom were Khitan nobles. As a result, countless gold, silk, money and food were confiscated.
After receiving this batch of money and food, Lao Cao first rewarded the three armies greatly, and the morale of the army became stronger for a while.
A notice was also posted in the name of the Xifeng Army: Anyone in the city who has no food or clothing, regardless of their ethnicity, can come to the government office to receive food, rice and clothing.
When the news spread, a long queue formed in front of the government office. No matter who came, they all came with him, enough money and food for half a month, and even clothes and cloth, etc. The hearts of the people at the bottom gradually became attached to him.
He also ordered eight generals, Shi Wengong, Du Bo, Shi Bao, Li Tianrun, Tang Bin, Shan Shiqi, Xu Ning, and Niu Wenzhong, to recruit troops in the city. They were named the "Eight Youzhou Army". All of them were between the ages of fifteen and forty. Han'er, anyone who can lift eighty kilograms of stone locks will be hired.
Men from other ethnic groups can also join the army as long as they have a Han name.
For a time, the fortune-telling and fortune-telling gentlemen in the city made a fortune, and the stalls in their homes were crowded with people from other races who came to name them.
Just because all the enlisted sergeants, once selected, will first receive twenty guan of housing allowance, and then three months of food and salary. The military salary for their subordinates is three times that of the Liao army.
In a few days, more than 20,000 people have been recruited, half of whom were previously defeated.
Lao Cao opened the Youzhou treasury and distributed clothes, armor and weapons. Shi Wengong and others led them, and they practiced day and night.
On October 18, the newly recruited soldiers and horses were able to line up in order. When the drums entered Jinzhi, Cao Cao ordered Hua Rong to lead the flying cavalry to press the formation and sent four troops: Tang Bin, Shan Shiqi, Xu Ning, and Niu Wenzhong, totaling more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. , and attacked Shunzhou to the north.
Unfortunately, there were only 800 defenders in Shunzhou. Hua Rong ordered the four armies to be divided into four sides and attack separately. Within half a day, Shan Shiqi saw that his troops were making slow progress and became anxious. So he took a short knife and climbed the city in person, climbing first. They fought fiercely with swords at the top of the city, killing dozens of enemies. Impressed by their bravery, all the troops moved up one after another, and Shunzhou was defeated.
At this time, more than a month had passed since Lao Cao went to Youzhou. The news of Youji's fall gradually spread, causing an uproar among the Liao army's southern expedition.
This is exactly: I would rather follow the leopard head than marry Zhang Fei. There is a raging war in the north, and the Song army's front is in danger.
