But it is said that Lao Cao went to Yunzhou, pieced together 70,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to Huanzhou in a mighty manner, hoping to find the golden soldiers for a decisive battle.
Unexpectedly, Wanyan Yinshu was very experienced in using soldiers, and saw that he defeated two powerful generals, Pucha and Hubalu, and he could not escape from then on.
You must know that the geography of Huanzhou City is very important. If the Song army leaves Yanmen Pass, Huanzhou will be the first to be attacked. Therefore, the city walls here are quite majestic, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack location.
Especially after the Jin soldiers took over, they recruited grain, soldiers and horses from various states to come here. It can be said that there are enough soldiers and abundant food.
Formerly, Cao Cao planned to defeat the Jin army at Sanggan River, but there were still between forty and fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the city. If it was a field battle, it might not be difficult to defeat them, but to defend the city, with only 70,000 soldiers in Cao Cao's hands, I'm afraid it would be difficult. It's hard to break the city even if it's all gone.
Although Lao Cao was very wise, his manpower was finally exhausted. The other party put on such a tortoise posture and was unable to do anything to him for a while, so he had to maintain a stalemate for a long time.
So on the one hand, he sent Ma Ling to pass orders along the way, instructing the passes to be guarded carefully, and on the other hand, he dispatched troops and generals to cultivate the nine states behind the mountains.
Within a few days, instructions were issued one after another at running prices.
First, two generals, Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen, with ten thousand troops, were sent back to Yunzhou to take charge. If something happened, they would be able to provide support to all directions;
He also sent two generals, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, with 10,000 troops to kill the tiger's mouth to strengthen the troops there to prevent the Jin soldiers from attacking in large numbers;
Then send a pair of Sun An and Kleina, and a pair of Luan Tingyu and Suo Zi, each with 5,000 men, to recover the remaining states one by one.
The two pairs of them were instructed in detail. Every time they arrived at a place, they would bring the original officials to the court. Those who harmed the people and violated the law would be killed. Those with official reputations would be retained.
If there are deficiencies in the officials, local talented people will be recruited to supplement them, and then military squadron generals will be deployed to serve as the military and horse supervisors of various states and the commanders of each county to recruit troops, surrender bandits and bring peace to the people.
After these eight generals left, Lao Cao only had 40,000 troops left, so he simply stayed outside Huanzhou, watching this group of golden soldiers, fearing that he would come out and cause trouble.
In fact, his actions also had the intention of luring the enemy.
On the city of Huanzhou, Wanyan Sali looked eagerly outside the city. One army after another marched out in all directions. He couldn't help but look for Yin Shuke: "I saw it with my own eyes. He is today." Another 20,000 people have left, and now there are at most 10,000 left in the camp. Do we still dare not fight?"
Alas! Doesn't this guy know how to count?
No, Lao Cao actually used Dong Zhuo's old plan to enter Luo——
When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang in the past, his troops were limited, and he was afraid of being seen clearly, so he had his troops sneak out every night, and marched in with great fanfare the next day. For many days, the officials of the Han court said that he had strong troops and horses, and they did not dare to argue with him.
Cao Cao went in the opposite direction. For example, when Guan Sheng led 10,000 troops back to Yunzhou, he took 20,000 troops and marched in a mighty manner. At night, he secretly retrieved the extra 10,000 troops to mislead the Jin soldiers.
It's a pity that Yin Shu is not greedy for merit. Even though Sa Li was so worried that he was about to cry, he remained unmoved. He just said: "When the army comes to help, it will be the day when he will be defeated and die. Why are you anxious?"
However, on this day, Yin Shu's stable attitude was completely lost——
"What did you say?" Yin Shuke's eyes widened, with an incredulous expression on his face: "You, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, want to invite our army to suppress the rebellion? Haha, haha, you bastard, do you think that I, Yin Shu, are just a three-year-old child? ? How dare you lie to your face with such ridiculous words!"
Yin Shu Ke stood in the hall, surrounded by more than a dozen generals from the Kingdom of Jin, facing a man with gorgeous clothes and a handsome face.
The man sat sideways on the chair. Compared to Yin Shuke's gaffe, the man opposite him had a much calmer demeanor.
"Huh, haha." The man didn't care about silver skills. He was just playing with his long hair with his hands slowly and his tone was full of disdain.
"Barbarians are barbarians. Is the commander-in-chief of an army so ignorant? What a fuss! You must know that the alliance between you and us has the terms of 'mutual friendship, support and common prosperity'. Since the Liao Emperor surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, those who killed The Liao troops who entered our country are just bandits, wouldn't it be wonderful to have the former Liao Emperor surrender at his command without using any weapons?"
Yin Shuke shook his head and said: "I am a good Yin Shuke. If you don't want to deceive me, you will lie to me! It's obvious that you guys can't attack me in Huanzhou, so you found an excuse to trick me into waiting for me to leave the city. What do you mean by opening Yanmen Pass? Haha, there are many places inside and outside Yanmen Pass. , I am afraid that thousands of troops are ambushed! Who are you trying to hide from such a bad plan?"
The man opposite was furious after hearing this. He took out a gold medal from his arms and placed it heavily on the table. With a click, the table showed cracks like spider webs, but it did not collapse.
The man pointed at the gold medal and said: "You are Kui Xiangyang, the commander of the majestic city. Now we are only one foot apart. If I want to kill you, it will be easy. Do I need to work hard to deceive you?"
Yin Shuke raised his head and laughed: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. I have traveled all over the black mountains and white waters, and this is the first time I have seen such a shameless person. Come on, come on, aren't you bragging about your abilities? A certain family is standing here, If you can hurt me, I will believe you, how about that?"
If Li Zhu and Lei Heng were here, or if Murong Bo came back to life, I'm afraid they would all admire Wanyan Yinshuke's courage.
Kui Xiangyang shook his head and smiled: "But it's what you want!"
The smile faded, and he stood up suddenly. With a swish, he passed seven or eight steps in a blink of an eye. He came to Sa Lihe and said lightly: "I want to borrow the sword."
Sa Lihe was furious and punched him: "I'll lend it to you, dad!"
He punched the air and couldn't help but blink. Where was Aoi Xiangyang in front of him?
But the others could clearly see that Aoi Xiangyang turned around and floated in front of Yin Shuke like a ghost.
He stretched out two fingers from his food, and there was a cold light between his fingers. He swung it a few times, and the silver technique was punched out. Aoi Xiangyang gave a sweet smile and disappeared in a whoosh.
Everyone blinked again, and he had already sat back down. While slowly stroking his hair, he smiled at Sa Li and said, "Give it back to you!"
With a flick of his hand, a meat-cutting knife whirled away.
Sa Lihe took it stupidly, took a closer look, and was shocked: "When did you touch my knife?" He slapped it on his waist, and sure enough, only the scabbard was left.
Yin Shuke said angrily: "Are you juggling? Who can you scare with these tricks?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a crash, and all the armor around him fell to the ground.
Yin Shuke was shocked. He picked up the armor and took a closer look, only to find that he had cut off all the leather straps.
Rao is a warrior who has fought many battles, but when he recalled the moment when the silver light surrounded his body, his silver skills couldn't help but feel frightened, and his face turned slightly pale.
"Understood?" Kui Xiangyang looked at him and smiled slightly: "It won't take any effort to kill you. It's just that the Za family is here to show their sincerity and invite you to enter the pass to help our emperor destroy the remaining Liao."
After saying that, he shook his right hand, and a golden imperial edict slipped out of his sleeve, which he held high in his hand.
"If you don't believe it, look at the imperial edict. This edict was given to Zong Ze, the guard general of Yanmen Pass. He ordered the Zajia family to temporarily take over the position of guard general and invite the Jin army to enter the pass. Zong Laoer resisted the edict and disrespected it. It is not said to be a forgery. Now he has taken it. Imprisoned in a dungeon. My emperor also has an oral message: If the friends of the Jin Kingdom are willing to help, when the matter is accomplished, they should be rewarded with the nine states behind the mountain!"
"Pooh!"
Unexpectedly, he didn't say it was okay, but when he mentioned the nine states behind the mountain, the Jin people's faces showed anger.
Sa Li spat and said loudly: "You secretly colluded with the Khitan dogs and followed us to cause trouble. You have taken eight of the nine states behind the mountain, and now you are here to lie to us!"
Han Changyi sneered and said: "Your people designed to kill tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses. With such skills, can't they still deal with a mere Yelu Chun?"
"ah?"
What kind of eyesight does Aoi Xiangyang have? Naturally, it can be seen that their words are true.
Suddenly he was stunned: "Why did we send people to collude with the Khitan? Privy Council Tong Guantong is now guarding the city in Bianliang, planting teachers and Taoist ministers, moving troops back to help, and being ambushed by Yelu Chun. Now we don't know whether he is alive or dead. How can anyone do it in Jiuzhou behind the mountain? thing?"
"Um?"
A thousand gold generals looked at each other.
Kui Xiangyang was previously very impressive, but now he was in a desperate state. He even revealed such top-secret news as Zhongshi Dao's defeat, which really didn't seem to be a lie.
At this time, only a cough was heard.
The generals looked over and saw Emperor Tian Zuo's two concubines slowly walking out from the back of the hall, supporting the pale-looking Wanyan Loushi.
"Ah, Marshal, why are you up?" All the gold generals greeted him one after another.
Lou Shili ignored him and looked at Xiangkui Xiangyang with eyes like will-o'-the-wisps.
Although the voice was low, it was full of evil spirit: "Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao, nothing! Let me ask you, where is Wu Zhi, the military commander of Qingzhou Jiedu, now?"
There are different teachings: Sunflower Ancestor is almost a demon, so why bother with a three-inch knife to remove his armor? It is a pity that the magical power is in vain, but the righteous man is imprisoned.
