When Lao Cao fought in Bianliang, his ambition was to win quickly.
During the previous attack on Taiyuan, when he learned that Hu Yanzhuo had urgently reported the Taiyuan warning, Guan Sheng thought about it and ordered Hao Siwen to lead three thousand troops to guard Yanmen and teach Hu Yanzhuo to lead his troops to rescue. When Lao Cao saw Ye Zhiqiu, he immediately It can be seen that Guan Sheng is in charge of Jiuzhou behind the mountains, and his life may not be easy.
Otherwise, if Taiyuan is lost, everything north of Yanmen will become an enclave, and the generals will be defeated by the pass. How could they not know?
By extension, if the pressure at the tiger's mouth is very high, then the pressure at other passes along the Great Wall will not be less.
Lao Cao didn't say much, for fear that the crowd would be distracted, but in his heart, there was hidden anxiety.
He woke up from a thousand-year dream, and felt more grateful than others for many mysterious things, such as destiny.
If we say that thousands of years ago, at the end of Han Dynasty, destiny was rotating among the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu.
So his destiny must be in the Wanyan clan.
Although Lao Cao still had the confidence that "since he came alone, it was his destiny", he did not dare to underestimate the Jurchen clan who rose from the white mountains and black waters. Therefore, he was anxious to find out what happened in the Central Plains and then went to the outside of the Great Wall to determine the male and female.
Lao Cao had visited Bianliang many times and was no stranger to it.
Even though the old officials spent a lot of money to straighten the originally zigzag city wall for aesthetic reasons, the height and thickness of the city wall are unparalleled in the world. In addition, each city gate is built with urns, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. .
If not, how could the old official family have used their exhausted army to block the Liao and Jin attacks successively?
Therefore, if you want to attack such a powerful city, you can either encircle it with a large army for a long time and exhaust the energy and blood in the city, or you can cooperate with the inside and outside, and plant internal forces in the city to look for opportunities to break it.
Lao Cao's thoughts are all on the Jurchens, so how can he waste so much time with him? I have long thought about using internal responses.
The self-inflicted Liao Dynasty occupied Bianjing, and many honest people paid it back, but there were many heroes with martial arts skills. How could they be willing to serve with the enemy? Therefore, they all tried their best to escape. Some of them failed and died, and naturally some succeeded in escaping.
For example, how did Lao Cao know that the Liao army had made great efforts to break the city without worry? It was a master who escaped from the six doors when he was in Luoyang, who told me specifically.
This man was originally a head catcher in Kaifeng Prefecture. His surname was Zhang and his given name was Xiaoqing. He was good at using a long sword and was nicknamed "Feisha Dao".
When Wang Shiyong served Yang Jian and others, he sent his subordinates and arresters to join them in seizing the gate and dedicating the city. It was this Zhang Xiaoqing who pretended to follow Wang Shiyong. When Wang Shiyong left, he called everyone to discuss secretly: "Everyone, I Brothers, I have lived in Bianjing for many years, and the soil under my feet is my hometown. As a man, it is shameful to be unable to protect my family and the country. How can I collude with a foreign tribe and send my hometown to him to destroy me?"
To say that these six-door characters usually blackmail merchants and pedestrians, treat deer as horses, and squeeze out good people, they have also committed a lot of bad karma. However, if a rat carries a gun and hides in a den, how can it be reasonable to collude with a cat to cause harm again?
Therefore, after listening to Zhang's words, everyone was aroused with indignation and shouted: "Brother Zhang is right! Although we don't understand the truth, we are all men with bones. What should we do? Brother Zhang's instructions are !”
Zhang Xiaoqing was overjoyed and immediately said: "Wang Shiyong and his generation do not have military power. If he wants to cause trouble, it is nothing more than a healthy servant guarding the courtyard at home. We must not leave our weapons these days. If we see him getting into trouble, we will kill him in one fell swoop and hold him back." As time goes by, the generals will react to these people and naturally lead their troops to eliminate them. Then Bianjing will have no worries, and we will all have our share of the credit."
However, Zhang Xiaoqing's knowledge was limited after all, but he didn't know that Qin Hui arranged a plan to seize the city. Yang Jian and his like were no more than a deception, but the real killer was Hua Chaoyan, the "Emperor of Bianliang Night" and "Wuyou Louzhu"!
So on the day of the incident, all Wuyoudong masters came out and started killing the fast-moving government servant from behind, killing heads and leaving blood all along the street——
You must know that these tolerances usually have some collusion with the Wuyou Cave villains. Generally speaking, the relationship between cats and mice is still the same. Now that the mice are in power, why not drive out all the cats?
At that time, the government officials were defeated and Wuyoudong masters took the opportunity to attack the city wall and seize the door. Zhang Xiaoqing saw that the situation was not harmonious, so he had to run away. Unexpectedly, he used to hate evil as much as hatred, and his sharpness was too strong, and the two Wuyoudong villains unexpectedly He would rather go against the cave master's will than hunt him down.
Zhang Xiaoqing chased the two of them to the sky and into the earth, running through several streets, then broke into Wuyou Cave with a sudden change of heart.
Although they, as detectives, did not know what was going on in the depths of Wuyou Cave, the outer passages and entrances had been passed down from generation to generation for more than a hundred years, so they were quite familiar with it. There was a chase in the cave that day, and the three of them fought tooth and nail. In the end, Zhang Xiaoqing relied on his family's secret skill "Flying Dust Hand" to kill the two villains.
After killing two people, he was also injured in half of his body. He thought at the moment: It's incredible. Monsters ranging from first- and second-grade officials to Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower have joined forces to sell Bianjing. How can I do this with my injuries? Turn the tide? Let's take advantage of the ravine of Wuyou Cave to escape from the city, and then make sense again slowly.
He determined the direction, groped his way and walked out. Halfway through, he felt a little lost. In his anxiety, he suddenly heard someone in front of him yelling at the Liao people for their treachery, and he hurriedly held his breath and hid.
Soon, he saw Hua Chaoyan, half covered in blood, with several long arrows stuck in his body, limping and cursing, passing not far away from him.
Zhang Xiaoqing, who had been around for a long time, could tell at a glance that it was the Liao people who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and instead followed Hua Chaoyan.
Secretly gloating about his misfortune, when Hua Chaoyan was far away, he escaped along the way he came, waded out of Bianliang City, found a familiar farmhouse to recover from his injuries, and found out that the emperor had gone to Luoyang, Xijing, so he He rushed to seek refuge, but Lao Cao wanted to find out how Bianliang fell, so he singled him out and took him into the army.
Coming out of Luoyang, there were several battles along the way. Lao Cao commanded with determination and fought with great momentum. Zhang Xiaoqing watched clearly and was secretly heartbroken. He often told people: Unexpectedly, our dynasty still has such a good general as Wu Shuai. If he had been willing to reuse him earlier, the state affairs would be better. Is it more than that?
When Emperor Tianzuo was captured in Zhengzhou, Lao Cao announced that the deposed emperor would be beheaded at Bianliang City five days later. However, that night, Shi Qian called Zhang Xiaoqing, and a group of five people rode fast horses to Bianjing first.
Which five people? They are: "Ruyunlong" Gongsun Sheng, "Gushangflea" Shi Qian, "Dream Luohua" Ai Qizi, Guiyi Hu'er "Langliao" Zhang Liang, plus "Feisha Dao" Zhang Xiaoqing.
Among these five people, Zhang Xiaoqing was a ghost in the ground. He led everyone to cover up to the moat while it was dark.
Zhang Liang carried a raft on his back and quietly ferried everyone across the river. Zhang Xiaoqing found the entrance to Wuyou Cave. They secretly went into the water and walked a few feet without holding their breath. Then they came out of the water and each took out the fire folds wrapped in oil paper and opened them. Ran, Zhang Xiaoqing took the lead and led everyone to search deeper and deeper into Wuyou Cave.
In the battle to seize the city, all the elites from Wuyou Cave came out, but only Hua Chaoyan survived. Those giants who were famous in the underworld had long been turned into piles of bones.
Therefore, the five people went six or seven miles into Wuyou Cave before they were finally discovered - a bone whistle sounded, and not long after, men with twenty or thirty faces of ferocious faces poured out from everywhere, exclaiming: "There are outsiders who break in, kill them." them."
Shi Qian chuckled and fired a few shurikens. The backs of the leading men's hands hurt and their weapons fell to the ground.
Ai Qianzi stretched out and took out a paper-tied tiger from his arms. He touched the tiger's head, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "We are waiting for Mr. Hua, the owner of Wuyou Cave and Guifan Tower, to be quick to understand." Go and report it quickly, otherwise tigers will eat you on the trail."
All the men looked at each other in disbelief and said with evil faces: "Are you crazy? Besides, who is the owner of my building? Can you see him if you want?"
Ai Qizi sighed: "In that case, this tiger will be lucky today."
As he spoke, he threw the paper tiger away. As soon as it left his hand, it grew into the wind. In an instant, it turned into a giant tiger more than two feet long. It had dazzling eyes and white forehead. It roared, filled with fishy wind, and rushed into the crowd. Oooh, ooh, ooh, he swallowed two people in his belly.
Everyone in Wuyou Cave was so frightened that they cried out: "Go and report, go and report! Dao Master also asked me to accept the magical power."
Ai Qianzi glared and said, "Now that you've said it, why don't you leave?" As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger roared loudly, and half of these evil men peed yellow urine all over their crotches, crawling around, crying for their father and mother. went.
Seeing that they were far away, Ai Qizi moved his hand, and the tiger jumped back into his palm. It was still a dumb paper tiger.
Shi Qian looked at the two people who had been swallowed by the tiger and fainted on the side of the stone wall. As he watched, he never saw when the tiger took the two people out. He couldn't help but admired: "Little Taoist Master's surgical technique." , it’s really amazing.”
Ai Qizi waved his hands repeatedly: "If you don't tell lies in front of a real person, Xiaodao's skills will only make Mr. Gongsun laugh. But these young men are not worthy of letting Mr. Gongsun do it, so Xiaodao just takes over."
Seeing that he spoke politely, Gongsun Sheng chuckled and said, "You don't have to be cautious. It's hard to tell the truth from the false magic of this hand, which is rare. It shows that Qiao Lie has taught you some real skills. Sooner or later, Qiao Lie and I will both He's a senior fellow apprentice, if you call him "senior uncle", I can still bear the responsibility."
Ai Qizi was overjoyed and called him uncle. Gongsun Sheng didn't take it too seriously, so he pointed out to him what details could be better in the illusion technique just now.
The two people were about to enter the harbor. There was a sound of footsteps, and two to three hundred men with gloomy faces, surrounded by a man in red robe, came menacingly.
The red-robed man was thin, and his red robe looked extraordinarily large. He wore a Zhang Chenghuang mask on his face, and his eyes were like two will-o’-the-wisps. He glanced across his five faces and said in a sinister tone: "Zhang Xiaoqing! You haven't seen me yet?" Are you going to die? You dare to lead people into my Wuyou Cave, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Trespassing to Wuyou Cave without authorization will result in a severe punishment of being eaten by thousands of rats." Zhang Xiaoqing said lightly, then smiled: "Hua Chaoyan, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Don't show off your authority in front of Zhang. You Wuyou Cave Five The dragon, ten tigers, thirty-six ghosts and gods, and the eighty-one soul-seeking officers are all dead now. Do you still need to show off your majesty as the 'Emperor of the Night' with these little soldiers and crab generals under your command?"
The men in Wuyoudong, to ordinary people, can be considered vicious, but from the perspective of the world, they are just a group of minions. Zhang Xiaoqing single-handedly killed the two "heartbroken ghosts" and "poisonous heart ghosts" in Wuyoudong. How can a great master put these people in his eyes?
Hua Chaoyan couldn't see his expression clearly, but his eyes became more and more fierce, and he sneered: "Idiot! What dragons, tigers, ghosts and gods, the reason why Wuyoudong can establish its name is because of a certain person in Hua! Since Hua is here, he wants to How many people don't have it? Since you dare to underestimate me, I'll take a trick from you first!"
Before he finished speaking, the red robe fluttered, and the two golden darts flashed directly into Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes. Zhang Xiaoqing was shocked. He had been on guard for a long time, but he didn't expect that the opponent's golden darts were so fast. He felt regretful and just heard the ding ding. With two sounds, the two golden darts flew away to nowhere.
Zhang Xiaoqing didn't know what was going on, but Hua Chaoyan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Fusang's hidden weapon?"
"Master Hua is so knowledgeable!" Shi Qian laughed and stepped forward in a grand manner: "It is indeed a hidden weapon from Fusang Chinese Academy of Sciences! Master Hua, we are here to pay a special visit, why do you need to hurt someone?"
Hua Chaoyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed strangely: "Hehe, hehe, you can block my escort and you are qualified to talk to me. I wonder who your name is!"
Shi Qian cupped his fists and said, "That's easy to say! I'm not talented, but I'm the brother of 'Wu Mengde'. His surname is Shi Qian, and he's known as 'Flea on the Drum' in the world!"
Hua Chaoyan's eyes changed: "Wu Mengde's brother? Didn't Wu Mengde become a high-ranking official in the imperial court?"
Shi Qian laughed and said, "Lord Hua is just kidding! Emperors like the Zhao family are greedy and stupid. If it were Lord Hua, would you be willing to work for him? My brother, a great man, was his official, just to borrow his power, and just wait for him. After taking Tokyo, we will establish a new country on our own. By then, all of us, the rash people, will be able to transform into dragons and become rich and powerful for generations to come."
Hua Chaoyan took a breath: "Are you saying that 'Wu Mengde' is going to rebel?"
"Rebellion?" Shi Qian seemed to have heard a big joke and said with a joking face: "Hahahaha, let's talk to the poster like this! In the past two years, my brother defeated Wang Qing and Tian Hu successively, and most of his heroes turned to me. Under my brother's account, the Song Dynasty fought against Fang La last year. My brother was involved in it. Not only did he win many heroes of Mingjiao, but he also became the son-in-law of leader Fang. Now he has retained "Flower Monk", "Green Faced Beast", "Nine Pattern Dragon", etc. My brother is in Jiangnan and can make big moves at any time."
Hua Monk and several others were all heroes with great reputations in the world. After hearing this, Hua Chaoyan secretly took a breath and thought that he was calling himself the Emperor of the Night in vain. Now look at them, they are really grand.
Unwilling to lose his momentum, he sneered: "It's amazing. The four major bandits destroyed three families, but they don't know when they will attack Liangshan?"
Gongsun Sheng said calmly: "Gongsun Sheng, a poor Taoist, is known as 'Ruyunlong'. When Chao Gai's brother first captured Liangshan, he had Ping Dao's help. In recent years, Liangshan's soldiers and horses have been strong, and it was mostly because of Brother Wu's contribution that it was difficult to place heroes under his command. Now we are all in Liangshan, do you understand what Pindao said?"
Shi Qian didn't wait for Hua Chaoyan to say more and said: "Last year, when I returned from the south of the Yangtze River, my brother led five thousand elites to cross the sea and conquer the Liao Dynasty. Now the sixteen states of Youyun are under his control. The Xixia people took advantage of the Western Army's strength a few days ago. When the crisis came, my brother Qianli attacked Xingqing Mansion and turned back to support Taiyuan City. A flood killed more than 100,000 Xixia soldiers and horses. Now that we have come to capture Bianjing, a group of brothers will kill to the northwest and destroy the country. , only day and night, brother said this, does the poster understand?"
Hua Chaoyan took a long breath: "In this way, doesn't it mean that everything in the southeast, northwest and northwest is under the control of 'Wu Mengde'?"
Shi Qian smiled and said: "Shandong is the foundation of my brother's life, but if you talk about East, my brother went to the Kingdom of Jin two years ago and visited Fusang on his way back. Now the Queen Mother of Fusang is my brother's mother-in-law. When the child grows older, he will become the leader of the Fuso Kingdom. Brothers, this 'shuriken' and this 'locking sickle' are also Fuso's stuff."
He took out the lock sickle and shook it. Hua Chaoyan stared at it for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes——
This man calls himself the Emperor of the Night, and Bianliang is the place where news from all over the world gathers. His knowledge is probably much broader than that of the officials. After all, there is no treacherous official who deliberately deceives him. Now I thought carefully about all the things that had happened in the past few years, and found that what Shi Qian said was perfect and every detail was perfect, without any flaws, and I believed it in my heart.
Opening his eyes immediately, he took off his mask first, revealing an ordinary face: "That's all, I didn't expect that 'Wu Mengde' has done such a shocking thing in the past few years! I just thought that he was the real master - but I didn't know You are here to ask Hua to do something."
Shi Qian smiled and said, "There's nothing else to do. I'm just going to try my old trick again and give myself to Bianjing."
Hua Chaoyan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he sighed: "I was deceived by the traitor Qin Hui. Now there is no strength in ten in the cave. The only real master is Hua... What's more, Hua doesn't know if 'Wu Mengde' can get this Will the city treat me like the people of Liao?"
Shi Qian shook his head and pointed at Zhang Liang: "This brother Zhang Liang was originally a boatman on the Yellow River. Just because he was ferrying my brother to Xingqing Mansion, he regarded him as his own brother. After the founding of the country, he became a general. , it’s hard to run away anymore.”
Then he pointed at himself and smiled: "When you hear the word 'flea on the drum', you should also know my origin. Shi Qian was just a third-hand thief back then. He was really a rooster and dog thief. My brother has treated me like a brother in these years. If the country was founded, Shi did not dare to belittle himself, but it was inevitable even if he was granted the title of Marquis."
He patted his chest and looked at Hua Chaoyan: "Shi is only five feet tall when wearing shoes. With such a shabby body, he can still wear a marquis robe, let alone Brother Hua?"
After hearing this, Hua Chaoyan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case! "Wu Mengde" comes from a martial arts background, and most of his subordinates are reckless. Is he just deceiving himself?
He immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay! I just have one request - after everything is done, I want Qin Hui!"
Shi Qian laughed: "Everyone follows Brother Hua's wishes!"
