After burying Xu Ning, Lao Cao returned to Yunzhou and reluctantly began to review the lessons of his previous life.
The difference is that in the previous life, I still did the superficial work, which is the so-called "serve the emperor in order to defeat the disobedient."
Now it is truly "holding the emperor to order the princes."
I also really experienced Dong Zhuo's happiness in the past - the so-called "entering the palace every night, raping the silver palace maid, and sleeping on the dragon's bed every night."
It's just that Lao Cao is a very particular person. After all, he is not comparable to Dong Zhongying's rugged generals. Not to mention mere palace maids, they are ordinary concubines. They don't get involved and only coax Xiao Sesu to play tricks.
This is how a man should behave in the world. He would rather eat a bite of fairy peach than a basket of rotten apricots!
Xiao Sese is a talented woman of a generation with exquisite literary talents. Emperor Tian Zuo is nothing more than a humble husband. How can he know her beauty?
Now that she is in the hands of Lao Cao, it is really a fate. At first, she was still worried about Ao Luo, so Lao Cao invited Gongsun Sheng to come and see him. The "Ruyun Dragon" pretended to be gods and ghosts, breathed fire and absorbed water, and did many amazing tricks. , and finally came to the conclusion: "This son's destiny cannot bear the weight of the throne of Chad, so he suffered this disaster. However, with King Wei suppressing his luck, it should be no big deal. When he wakes up in a long time, he will become a wise king."
When Lao Cao heard this, he secretly raised his thumb.
What is a living immortal? This is a living god. He doesn't tell a single lie and makes you happy.
"When you wake up after a long time, you will become a wise king." If you don't wake up after such a long time, you will naturally not be able to become a wise king——
Let’s just say whether people’s calculations are accurate?
Xiao Sese was pampered and raised, how could he know these tricks? He immediately put down his worries, let go of his arms, and made peace with Lao Cao Qinse.
The beauty of the young Queen Mother's gentleness and affection is hard to describe, and she really treated Lao Cao like the Supreme Emperor.
A man wakes up to hold the power of the world, but he lies drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman. Lao Cao is the emperor at night and the regent by day. He does not delay the official business at all.
When he arrived in Yunzhou, he brought 17,000 Xifeng troops with him, leaving 5,000 at the tiger's mouth. Later, in the battle of Sangganhe, he suffered more than 4,000 losses and still had 7,000 left.
Of the 8,000 old troops in Yelvtahaoli, there are now only more than 1,000 left. The rest are the Liao soldiers captured in previous battles, totaling 30,000.
Lao Cao went to various counties in Yunzhou to select strong men and recruit them into the army. He obtained more than 10,000 men in a few days, and thus assembled 50,000 soldiers and horses, which were drilled rigorously every day.
This is the harsh winter, how can the soldiers be willing to train hard?
Lao Cao had his own idea: triple the military pay, meat for three meals, and a glass of strong wine for dinner to relieve fatigue.
For those who perform outstandingly every day, dozens of beauties will be hired in the prostitute village to bathe them personally to relieve their fatigue. As for the bathing process, it is not enough for outsiders.
Although this so-called "pay well and train diligently" strategy cannot produce truly powerful soldiers, it can best achieve combat effectiveness quickly.
After only a few days of practicing this method, the morale has been greatly boosted, and the sound of shouting to kill can be heard every day during practice.
Some readers cannot help but ask——
Since Emperor Tianzuo escaped, the treasury will naturally be wiped out. Where did Lao Cao get a lot of money? Could it be that the treasures from Luandaoyu were brought here?
If Lao Cao knew this, he would laugh loudly. He occupied Xijing of the Liao Kingdom and had to spend his own money to train troops. Wouldn't it be like entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed?
Although brother-in-law Yelu Tahaoli lost his subordinates, he was entrusted with important tasks by Lao Cao as his confidant. In the name of "reshaping the character of the Liao Dynasty", all the people in the city who "had ambitions of paying gold" had their belongings confiscated. condemn.
But what do you mean by "having the ambition to bring down gold"? Naturally, it was decided in one word.
In Tahao, we first swept away all the flattering ministers who could not escape with Emperor Tian Zuo;
Then they wiped out all the powerful officials and famous families who had once been arrogant;
Then he wiped out all the enemies who had offended him——
Only then did he find those who had personal vendettas, not because justice came first, but because he wanted to make them fearful for a few more days.
In ten days, seventy-five households were ransacked, and the gold and silver obtained was still countless after they had embezzled to their heart's content.
Lao Cao took no money and used it all to support his troops.
The remaining high-ranking families in the city were all frightened, and they all looked up at him.
Cao Cao hid in the palace and had no contact with those powerful people. Therefore, the "regent" in the eyes of Yunzhou people today is actually Tahaoli.
Ta Hao Li is also an ambitious person. Seeing Ao Luo lying awake for days and himself having all the power, he couldn't help but have wild thoughts——
My surname is also Yelu! Why should a Han man suppress me? Are you still suppressing my sister-in-law?
So he secretly spent huge sums of money from corruption and quietly recruited troops.
He is worthy of being a local snake. He has deep connections. In half a month, he recruited 30,000 people. They were all hiding in the mountains outside the city for training, ready to attack at any time.
One night, Shi Qian came to see Cao Cao in the moonlight and reported what he had done in Tahaoli that day.
When Lao Cao heard that the company had been unable to recruit new people for several days, he nodded and said, "In that case, let's do it."
Shi Qian accepted the order and left.
The next day, there was a lot of weeping in Tahoeli Mansion.
Even the concubine who slept with him couldn't tell clearly when his head left his neck.
The generals such as Guan Sheng and Shi Bao came out and led 40,000 troops to attack the private military camp in Tahoeli.
The crowd surrounded the camp and informed Tahao that there was a conspiracy to rebel, run rampant and frame Zhongliang. Therefore, the King of Wei followed the Queen Mother's decree to support the court, restore righteousness, and raise troops to kill the rebels!
Seeing that something was going badly, a few diehards in Tahao wanted to break out of the encirclement. Hua Rong shot them all with one arrow, and the remaining troops could only eat in Tahao for a few days. Who is willing to serve the dead?
So they opened the gates of the camp and all of them were bound and surrendered.
At this point, Cao Cao had 70,000 soldiers and horses under his command - which basically drained all the potential of Yunzhou.
While Lao Cao was doing these things, Ma Ling rushed to Youzhou with a letter written by him, and ordered Shan Shiqi and Tang Bin to guard Youzhou. He also transferred two tiger generals, Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo, to lead five hundred tiger cavalry and five thousand soldiers. Youzhou soldiers came to Yunzhou to meet up.
In February of the third year of Xuanhe (1121), the cold wind was particularly biting. Generals Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo left Wusheng Pass and headed for Yunzhou.
At this time, Sa Lihe had withdrawn to Huanzhou, and there were no enemies inside or outside Wusheng Pass. Hu Sanniang missed Lao Cao, so she left Bao Xu, Cao Zheng, Xiang Chong, and Li Gong to guard the pass. She brought Taizi and Kleina with her. Lin Chong's army came west.
When Ma Ling saw this, he was frightened and found an excuse to go ahead and report to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao learned about it, he quickly moved out of the palace and took over the former residence in Tahuoli. He replaced it with a plaque and called it Prince Wei's Palace.
Another day later, a messenger came from the tiger's mouth. He said that there were about 3,000 golden soldiers who wanted to enter the pass. Du Bo and Zhu Ding naturally refused and shot him back with a burst of arrows.
When Lao Cao learned about it, he gathered all the generals and said, "I have occupied the tiger's mouth and blocked the news from the Kingdom of Jin for two months. He must know that something happened here, and I am afraid that a large army will come to the pass next. Before that, we are all equal Go to Huanzhou to avoid being attacked from both sides."
When all the generals heard this, they were all gearing up, waiting for a big battle.
A few days later, Lin Chong and others arrived. Cao Cao let him rest for three days. He mobilized 70,000 soldiers and horses and marched to Huanzhou. They crossed the Sanggan River that was frozen with solid ice and headed five miles below the city of Huanzhou. They formed a camp in a big way.
The next day, Cao Cao's army came out of camp and formed a formation. Lin Chong was the first to go out and galloped back and forth under the city, shouting: "I have heard for a long time that the Jurchens are brave, and I would like to fight today!"
On top of the city, Han Chang and Sa Lihe recognized him at the same time and exclaimed: "This is not a brother of Wu Zhi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty. Why is this person here?"
Yin Shuke was shocked when he heard the words, and looked closely. Sure enough, he had seen it in Agudajin Palace before, and said in astonishment: "Could it be that when the Liao Kingdom was restored, there were people from the Song Dynasty who used their strength in it?"
Then he gritted his teeth and said: "That's all, no matter who it is, since today is a challenge, you can't lose your spirit..."
Sa Li shouted and said hurriedly: "This man's martial arts is extremely good, don't underestimate him."
There are two fierce generals under Yin Shuke's command, one is Pucha and the other is Hubalu. They are both born as girls and have unlimited brute force. They can wrestle with black bears. After being recaptured by Yin Shuke's design, they follow him in the north and south. Invincible.
Both of them were rude in character. Apart from being willing to obey Yin Shuke, even when they saw A Gu Da, they were always unscrupulous in their words and deeds. Now when they heard Sa Li shouting about the enemy's bravery, the two savages suddenly became unhappy.
Hubalu snorted and blew his nose, then wiped it on Salihe's face. Salihe was caught off guard and said angrily: "You savage, what are you doing!"
Pu Cha opened his mouth with a missing front tooth and mocked: "What Hubalu means is that you are about to cry out of fear, so he will give you some tears."
After saying that, he looked at Hubalu, and the two laughed wildly.
Sa Li was so angry and disgusted that he actually shed two lines of tears. While wiping his nose with his sleeve, he got angry at Yin Shuke: "Yin Shuke, you will let the general humiliate me like this?"
Yin Shuke smiled apologetically, patted him and said, "You already said they are savages, why bother with them? Hubalu, you are not allowed to treat Sa Lihe like this in the future."
Hubalu's smile faded and he nodded obediently, but Pucha next to him took the opportunity to blow his nose hard and wipe his nose on Salihe's face.
Sa Li screamed loudly, and Pu Cha laughed loudly: "Master said that Hubalu can't wipe your nose, but he hasn't said that Pu Cha can't."
Yinshu could see that the second general was teasing Sa Lihe repeatedly like this, and felt that it was too much. His tone increased and he shouted: "Pucha, are you pretending to be stupid with me? You are not allowed to have dinner today."
Pu Cha was shocked, and just as he was begging for mercy, he suddenly glanced at Lin Chong from the city, rolled his eyes, and showed a cunning look on his stupid face: "Master, if you kill that enemy general, can you return my dinner to me? "
Han Chang said in a condensing voice: "The silver skill is good, I have seen him take action, don't underestimate the enemy."
Yin Shuke thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Under Wu Zhi, there is someone who beats Nian Han, Jin Danzi and his son. He is terrible, but not everyone is like this."
After that, he pointed towards the city and said, "Pucha, go and take his head, and I will reward you with a roasted sheep."
Pucha was overjoyed, picked up his weapon, and ran to the bottom of the city.
Hubalu rolled his eyes and shouted: "I-I'll help him." He also ran down the city after him.
Not long after, the gates of Huanzhou City suddenly opened wide, and two extremely tall and strong men strode out of the city.
Lin Chong looked around and couldn't help being surprised. He saw these two people, covered in thick fur outside of iron armor, they looked like two human bears, each holding a steel fork with a long handle as thick as a teacup.
This is exactly what it is: a savage and wild girl giving birth to a virgin, with the steel fork blowing sand and dust everywhere. Although Lin Chong is a heroic general, can he defeat him?
The brother who won the prize in Chapter 595 yesterday: He is the "confused man"!
