But it is said that Zhao Guan's family was wise and powerful, and he saw through the conspiracy of Cao's thieves, and made a big plan in the blink of an eye:
Cut off Shandong and Hebei to the remnant Liao Dynasty, and let him go against the rest of Cao Cao's party. When both sides were hurt, the Song Dynasty pushed back the towers and restored the mountains and rivers.
The Eight Prefectures behind Xu Shan gave Manjin the opportunity to attack Lao Cao's real body. When both sides were hurt, the Song Dynasty pushed down the towers and expanded the territory.
As the saying goes:
If you want to imitate King Zhuang and keep his bird from singing, you will take action to level the nine states.
The genius is not inferior to the dragon, and the clever plan shames the old Kong Ming!
Under his urging, Kui Xiangyang hurried out of the city and came to the Liao army camp without even taking a sip of the hot water.
There was chaos in the Liao army camp.
Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi fled back in a hurry. Xiao Qian and Wu Yanguang all changed their expressions when they heard that Zhengzhou had been lost.
You must know that they crossed the Yellow River from Zhengzhou. If Zhengzhou was lost, their way back would be cut off.
What's especially terrifying is that the one who cuts off his retreat is none other than Jin Bing!
Fortunately, Yelv Buddha Summit surrendered. According to the truth, although there were many Jin soldiers, most of them were mountain bandits and water thieves who had been recruited to surrender. Among them, there were only three thousand real Jurchens.
But even so, several people were still anxious.
It's okay to pay for the others, Wan Yan Lou Shi, Wan Yan Yin Shu Ke, these two names, for the Liao people, can stop children from crying at night and can make adults burst into tears.
While he was anxiously discussing countermeasures, he suddenly heard that Kui Xiangyang was asking for an audience. Yelu Dashi sneered and said, "When the Jin man comes, I'm afraid the emperor of Song Dynasty will be hardened. Let him come and listen to his nonsense."
A few coughed, and they all pretended to be calm and calm, making people spread the word Kui Xiangyang.
Kui Xiangyang stepped into the handsome tent, bowed his hands, and said, "Our country and the Liao Kingdom have been a good alliance for hundreds of years. It is really unjust for you to come to our country to seek compensation just because the Jin people invaded the country." .”
Xiao Qian sneered and said: "Since we know that we are allies and frequently send envoys to collude with the Jin people, what can we say?"
Kui Xiangyang waved his hand: "It is not our emperor's business to collude with the Jin Kingdom. It is the work of Wu Zhi, the governor of Qingzhou, and he is just using the name of the country. You may not know it yet, but the Xifeng Army that occupied the Yan region, Even if it is this person’s handiwork, as for the so-called Chrysanthemum Army, it may not be possible to get rid of it.”
Yelu Dashi and Lao Cao had dealt with each other before. If Lao Cao hadn't helped Wanyan Lou's family, he would not have been captured by the Jin people. From what he saw and heard along the way, he knew that Lao Cao was powerful.
He couldn't help but pat the desk and said, "Oh! It turns out this person is the one causing the ghost!"
Yelu Chun, Xiao Qian and others could not help but change their expressions.
Kui Xiangyang observed the words and said with a faint smile: "My emperor has thought about the centuries-old alliance between our two countries, and also thinks that the current situation of your country is not easy. He is willing to use the land of Shandong and Hebei to support the founding of your country. As for the land of Youyan, you may as well free it. Go and ask for it from Wu Zhi."
Yelu Chun remembered that he had been bruised and swollen after being bumped into several times in Shandong. His old face turned dark and he was about to speak, but Xiao Qian hurriedly stopped him with his eyes.
Xiao Qian pondered for a moment and then said: "We already have the land of Hebei in our pocket. If Shandong wants to give it to me, why not transfer the soldiers and horses? Otherwise, when we take over, the brothers will inevitably grieve."
Kui Xiangyang nodded and said: "Shandong soldiers and horses, there will be a document when they turn around, and they will be transferred to Huaibei. Anyone who refuses to obey will be a member of the Wu Zhi party. You can deal with it as you wish."
Yelu Chun frowned, but Xiao Qian was the first to hand it over: "If that's the case, thank you Emperor Song for your kindness. I'll just lead the troops to Shandong."
After that, the leader took out a plate of pearls and presented them to Kui Xiangyang.
Kui Xiangyang received it happily, feeling that her errand was done well, and left happily.
Little did he know that after he left the Liao camp, there were some disputes in the commander's tent.
Yelu Chun frowned and asked Xiao Qian: "You have always been shrewd, how can you be so easy to talk to today? Most of those tiger and wolf soldiers in Shandong have not listened to the orders of the Song Dynasty. They sent us to wait. Isn't this a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves? You want to lend my soldiers Go and quell the rebellion for him."
Xiao Qian sighed: "Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers have gone south and Zhengzhou has been lost. I feel like a light on my back! If the Jin soldiers and horses come to kill us, we can only fight in the field. If the Song army leaves the city again, we will be attacked from both sides. It’s better to take a step back for now and worry about it later.”
Yelu Dashi helped: "What King Xiao said is right. The top priority right now is to get rid of being outflanked by the two countries. We might as well retreat to Dongming County first and then reason."
Dongming County is located forty miles east of Bianliang. If you get here, you will not worry about being attacked by the Jin and Song Dynasties.
Yelu Chun thought for a while and felt that it was reasonable. He decisively ordered: "In that case, let's go and occupy Dongming County and then be reasonable!"
After deliberation, they hurriedly ordered the three armies, put away their camps, bypassed Bianjing, and headed towards Dongming.
The Song army on the city wall was greatly surprised when they saw it, and hurriedly sent people to report it, saying that the Liao people abandoned the city and went east.
Not long after, the news reached the ears of the officials, who laughed loudly and boasted to Tong Guan and Kui Xiangyang: "Two Qings, let's see how I use my plan. But with a little trick, this is called Qian Liao." The soldiers are determined to kill those who have evil intentions for me, without any effort from my Song Dynasty soldiers. "
Tong Guan quickly made a sincere expression: "The officials are brilliant! The Holy Emperor is truly omnipotent!"
The officials laughed and ordered Kui Xiangyang not to delay, and quickly told the Jurchens to get out, and then went back to fight Cao Cao to the death.
Kui Xiangyang still didn't drink a sip of water, so she left the city again, rode a fast horse, and headed straight for Zhengzhou.
Rushing to Zhengzhou in a hurry, he saw the city gates wide open and the golden soldiers marching out in force, heading for Bianjing.
Kui Xiangyang stopped him quickly and kept asking to see Lou Shi.
The leading vanguard was Sa Lihe, so he asked others to take him to the Lou room.
Lou Shi was sitting in the car and was about to set off when he saw Kui Xiangyang coming back and asked why.
Kui Xiangyang hurriedly informed Wu Zhi of his rebellion against the Song Dynasty, and then said: "My Majesty said that the chaos in the Three Kingdoms was all caused by him alone. He is deeply hateful. Therefore, he asked the marshal to return to the north. In the land of Jiuzhou behind the mountain, we, the Song Dynasty If you don’t take it, give it all to the Kingdom of Jin to prove that your allies are good.”
After hearing this, Lou Shi wondered: I want to defeat Wu Zhi, why should I follow you all the way here?
Immediately he said unhappily: "The nine states behind the mountain have been occupied by Wu Zhi. Since you said he rebelled against the Song Dynasty, then the land he occupied does not count as the Song Dynasty. You also said that you would give this land to our country. Isn't it generosity to others?" ?”
Yin Shuke rode his horse forward and asked: "Commander Kui, you invited us here according to the order. You have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and now you are teaching us back. Not to mention teasing us like this, is it okay?" Etiquette, I just want to ask you, after we leave, how will you deal with those Liao rebels?"
Kui Xiangyang was helpless when pressed by him, so he had no choice but to confide: My Lord has temporarily given up Shandong and Hebei to him, and the war between them has ceased.
After saying these words, the expressions of all the Jin generals changed.
Ba Lisu shouted: "The remnant army of the Liao Kingdom is your enemy rather than your friend, and you still give them a lot of land. We have to travel across mountains and rivers for you. How can we just send them away like this? Forget it, and cede the Hedong Road to my family. I have the right to do it." Travel expenses.”
Hedong Road is the area of Shanxi occupied by Tian Hu in the past, between Luhang and Taihang.
Kui Xiangyang was shocked when he heard this, and asked repeatedly: "How can this be done?"
Yin Shuke said coldly: "It's just a handful of rebels from the Liao Kingdom who are still willing to give them a lot of territory. My brother only wants you to go all the way to the east of the river, and you act like this. Could it be that I, a powerful and powerful person, am not as good as that in the hearts of you and other people in the Song Dynasty?" Are you a traitor?"
Kui Xiangyang argued: "Your two countries are good allies..."
Yin Shuke sneered and interrupted: "A country that is a good ally is giving its land to the enemy in vain. If you, the Song Dynasty, act like this, we don't dare to be a good ally with you, so we can become enemies."
After hearing this, Kui Xiangyang shed a cold sweat and was trying to form words. Suddenly, King Yelu Yanxi of Yunzhou jumped out, cupped his fists and said, "Marshal of the Lou family, Xiao Wang has something to say."
After he proposed his plan to attack Zhengzhou, Lou Shi and others treated him much more kindly. Hearing this, he said in a gentle voice: "The King of Yunzhou has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Yelu Yanxi cheered up and said loudly: "The little king is Zhengshuo of the Liao Kingdom. Since he has paid gold to the country, there is no such thing as the Liao Kingdom in the world. That guy Yelu Chun was able to take the land of Shandong and Hebei of the Song Kingdom, but he did it under the banner of Liao." In the name of the country, how can he, a traitor, have such power? Therefore, the little king is willing to hire an army to conquer the traitors, and then give the land of Shandong and Hebei to Da Jin with both hands. Only in this way can he show his loyalty!"
Kui Xiangyang was shocked: "King Yunzhou, that is my family's land, how can I allow you to dedicate it to the Kingdom of Jin?"
Yelu Yanxi sneered and suddenly shouted: "Bah! What is your land? Your land, as I just explained clearly, was given to Yelu Chun. That is Yelu Chun's land! This guy Yelu Chun is a traitor to my family. , I will exterminate the traitor myself and seize his inheritance, what does it have to do with you, the Song Dynasty?"
Han Chang joined in the fun and said with a smile: "It's not his family's business at all. Cutting the East River Road to work for our army still needs to be decided by his family."
Kui Xiangyang shook his head repeatedly and looked at Lou Shi: "Marshal, this is absolutely impossible!"
"No?" Before Lou Shi could say anything, Yelu Yanxi shouted and knelt down in front of Lou Shi: "Marshal, I would like to send a troop of troops to his home in Bianjing and ask Zhao Ji. Is there any reason in this world for people to help in vain?”
Lou Shi nodded and said with a smile: "It is rare for the King of Yunzhou to be so loyal. How can I go against your wishes? Well, you can order ten thousand troops and go to Bianliang first. If Emperor Song really makes fun of us, you will take my place." Handsome, ask him carefully!"
Kui Xiangyang became more and more frightened as he listened, and said quickly: "Marshal, don't be impulsive. Wait until I get back and inform my emperor of the marshal's intentions. I will definitely have some ideas that will definitely not disappoint our allies."
Lou Shi laughed and said: "Okay, then you go first and tell Emperor Song that you are so generous to your enemies, but you must not be stingy to your friends. Otherwise, your friends may become enemies and let him do what he wants."
Kui Xiangyang did not dare to speak, nodded and left, walked around, used Qing Kung Fu, and found Li Zhu: "The Jin people are afraid that they will fall out. Brother Li, you can try to lead the Funiu Army to evacuate and take a detour to Bianliang. If anything happens, , Qingtian’s protection, all depends on your army and horse.”
Li Assistant nodded and said: "Brother Kui, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Kui Xiangyang felt relieved and hurried to Bianjing.
At the same time, in the far west of Jiuzhou behind the mountain, in Shuozhou, a troop of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses hurried along the Huihe River.
Hui River, also known as Hui River and Hun River, is called water control in "Hanshu". It is one of the sources of Sangqian River, originating from the Luliang Mountains and flowing from south to north.
Along the river to the northern foot of Luliang, there is Chenjiagou, a dangerous canyon.
This valley runs from north to south and is more than ten miles long. The east and west cliffs are full of strange peaks and rocks, and are extremely steep. The terrain is extremely dangerous.
When the troops and horses arrived here, they couldn't help but watch from both sides, as if they were afraid of an ambush.
"The terrain is so dangerous! It's nothing more than Yang Ye trying to lure the Liao army here!"
The person who spoke was none other than Cao Cao!
He was riding a horse, looking at the surrounding terrain, and he was full of praise: "It's rare for brothers Shi Qian to find this road, go deep into Luliang, and bypass Yanmen Pass. When the time comes, I will look back and strike, and I will own the Yanmen Pass again!"
Looking around him, there were Hu Sanniang, Shi Qian, Shi Bao, Shi Wengong, Gongsun Sheng, and Jiao Ting.
Gongsun Sheng said: "Hey! I just lament that Yang Wudi, who served the country with loyalty and courage, risked his life to attract the Liao army, but the reinforcements never came. What a natural danger, but he became his own desperate situation. What a pity!"
Shi Qian shuddered and said, "Brother Taoist, it's very cold here. When the cold reaches my bones, isn't it because of the Yin Qi that's pressing down on me? Could it be the trouble caused by those soldiers and generals who surrendered to death back then?"
Gongsun Sheng nodded and sighed: "On our way here, we saw many ruins and ruins. They were the homes of people who once lived here. It is precisely because the Yin Qi here is too strong and sneaks are rampant. It is difficult for animals and humans to live here for a long time." , so it was moved out and abandoned.”
It turned out that Chenjiagou was the place where Yang Wudi and Yang Ye were defeated. He lured the enemy here, but the ambush that had been arranged in advance was completely missing. "He was in great mourning and led his men to fight vigorously." In the end, he was defeated and countless Song troops died tragically here. .
The reason why Cao Cao came here was because the Jin soldiers had moved quickly before. He had never captured Yanmen, so he was uneasy, so he sent people to inquire, trying to find a way around Yanmen Pass. He happened to find out the way here from a group of tomb robbers.
This road goes up the Huihe River to Ninghua County. Deep in the Luliang Mountains in the county, it has been abandoned due to the large number of bandits. However, there is a small road that can be inserted into Xinzhou. In this way, regardless of sneak attacks, Or attack from both sides, there is a chance to capture Yanmen Pass.
After listening to what Gongsun Sheng said, Lao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "Loyal and righteous people often do not die well, which is really heartbreaking. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to perform a ritual here in my lifetime to save these loyal and righteous people!"
As soon as these words came out, a whirlwind suddenly rolled up on the ground. There seemed to be countless people howling vaguely. All the soldiers couldn't help but feel frightened. Gongsun Sheng was shocked and said: "As soon as my brother said it, the ghosts and gods responded. Today's oath must be made." Keep it in mind!"
There is a saying: war heroes and martyrs are always nameless, who remembers their original generosity. One thought made thousands of ghosts cry, and the sky turned into clear sky after his death.
