In the garden of Houya, Li Yongqi lit several bonfires and set up charcoal pots. The surroundings were burning hot. A few sheep were slaughtered to drink and catch the wind for Sa Li. All the generals let go of their drinking, shouting and drinking, which was extremely lively.
Li Yongqi accompanied several people and kept urging them to drink. Say all the good things, give all the compliments, and drink the wine one glass at a time.
After Li Shifu drank two glasses of wine, he found an excuse to leave and went to a nearby house. Sitting down on the stool, Li Shifu looked out at the dark night with bright eyes. The noise came in from outside, and Li Shifu just sneered.
After a long time, Li Shifu asked: "What time is it now?"
A soldier said: "Go back to the office, it's almost the second watch."
Li Shifu nodded, said nothing, and his face turned black.
At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps outside. Then the door was pushed open, and a soldier came in, breathing heavily. After calming down for a while, he said to Shifu: "My subordinates have already found out clearly that there is no large army within fifty miles!"
Li Shifu nodded. Said: "At this time, it doesn't matter if there is a big army or not. What if there is a big army in the middle of the night? You get ready, take the sali and drink it tonight! Early in the morning, we will go east to surrender to King Xuanfu!" "
After saying that, he said to a soldier: "He Yan, you set off now and go to Yihe Village in the east. Tomorrow morning, hurry to Wubao Village and let Wang Xuanfu's army come to greet me. Although the Jin army can't do anything to me , afraid that they will harm my family."
He Yan crossed his hands and said yes, turned around and left the room.
At midnight, the wine was gone. Sa Lihe and others were drunk and were helped to the room to rest.
Li Yongqi breathed a sigh of relief and went to the next house. Seeing that there was no light in the room, Li Shifu sat in the dark, his eyes glowing faintly under the moonlight.
Taking a step forward, Li Yongqi asked: "My son, how are you preparing?"
Li Shifu said in a deep voice: "Everything is ready. After a while, I took some food to drink, and I went to Yihe Village overnight. My father will temporarily guard the city. I will wait until I contact Wang Xuanfu's army, and then come to Suide. At that time, my father will guard the city. Dad dedicated the city, which is also a great achievement."
Li Yongqi nodded: "Be careful!"
After that, he cautiously left the room. I looked around and saw that no one else saw me, so I went back to my room.
There are more than 2,000 troops stationed in the Suide Army. Suddenly, it is not known whether any of them are truly loyal to the Jin Army. The plan of Li Yongqi and his son was for Li Shifu to capture Sa Lihe and head east overnight to make peace with Wang Xiaolie. If something unexpected happens, Li Yongqi can excuse his ignorance and maybe escape with his life.
Li Shifu picked up the wine gourd, opened the lid, gently brought it to his mouth, and took a sip from time to time. I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly took a big sip. He suddenly stood up and shouted sternly: "Do it!"
After saying that, he took out the sword he was wearing and strode to the door.
The soldiers outside were already ready. After receiving the signal, they immediately followed with their steel knives.
Li Shifu took big steps and went straight to Sa Lihe's room. He kicked open the door and rushed into the room.
Sa Li drank too much and fell asleep in bed. Li Shifu kicked open the door just now and was suddenly awakened. With the instinct of a military general, he reached for the waist knife that was always placed beside the bed, but he didn't want to take it in vain.
Jumping up from the bed, Sali shouted angrily: "Who is it? Dare to disturb grandpa's sleep!"
Li Shifu strode forward and said, "Don't you know your grandpa? At this time, you still dare to jump up and down!"
While he was talking, he reached out and grabbed Sa Lihe's belt, and with force on his hands, he violently threw him onto the bed. He grabbed the sheets on the bed and tied his hands randomly.
Sa Li drank because he was drunk and could not use up his strength. Although he was extremely angry, he struggled to escape.
Li Shifu tied up Sa Lihe randomly and dragged him down. He said to the soldier outside the door: "Come here and get it! Follow me out of the city!"
After saying that, he left the door and looked around at the soldiers taking the golden soldiers. Said: "Those who don't matter, just take their lives with one knife! After we leave the city, we still have a long way to go, so don't be delayed by them!"
The soldiers call you. Except for a few senior generals, all the other golden soldiers were killed.
Several soldiers tied up Sa Lihe again and dragged him to Li Shifu.
Sa Lihe had sobered up and looked at Li Shifu and said, "Are you going to rebel? When I get out, I will kill your whole family!"
Li Shifu dragged out a chair from the room and sat down. He yelled and scolded Sa Li: "Grandpa is a general of the Song Dynasty, so he surrendered you as a last resort. Now that Wang Xuanfu has arrived in Shizhou, there is no time to listen to your noise! I have done a great service to me by taking you today!" "
Sa Lihe sneered and said, "You have tricked the general, I'm afraid Wang Xuanfu won't be able to spare you! Only then will you know my methods!"
Li Shifu said: "You talk so much nonsense! Sons and gentlemen, go and check if the Jin people are missing, and come with me to Shizhou!"
Let's call the soldiers together. Spread out and observe the golden people carefully. If any of them are still out of breath, take a stab at them.
Li Shifu sat on a chair and looked at the moon in the sky. The moonlight is cold and shining on the earth. The snow in some places has not melted, reflecting the moonlight and shining with a melancholy brilliance. He picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine, but he didn't know what the wine tasted like.
Not long after, the soldiers gathered back and reported together, and no golden soldiers were missed.
Li Shifu took a sip of wine and threw the gourd out. He shouted: "Leave the city! Go to Yihe Village!"
Li Yongqi didn't come out and just pretended that nothing happened. Sitting in the room by myself, looking at the boundless night. Hearing the noise outside, he knew that his son was catching Sa Li and drinking. It wasn't until he heard the sound of horse hooves that he whispered: "I hope everything goes well and don't let me, an old man, face the Jin soldiers!"
After that, he walked to the window and looked at the moonlight outside.
Li Shifu blocked Sa Li's mouth, placed him on his horse, and rode out of the city. The city gates were already wide open, and there were no soldiers guarding the city. Li Shifu and his party left Suide City and headed eastward.
Yihe Village is located between Wubao Village and Suide City. It is an important place for Suide army to cross the Yellow River against Shizhou. The guard there had already been replaced by a confidant whom Li Shifu trusted. As long as he got there, there would be no obstacles ahead.
Li Shifu's horse was snatched from Xixia. It was a colt at the time, and it grew up to be a very good horse. Because his eyes are particularly bright, he was named "Black Eyeball". Although he was carrying two people on his back, he still ran ahead without breaking a sweat.
After leaving Suide City, we drove all the way. When we arrived at Yihe Village, the sun had not yet risen.
When Li Shifu arrived in front of the city, he saw many tents set up outside and hurriedly stopped. He said to the soldiers who followed him: "This is a military stronghold. Why are there so many military tents outside? What kind of army came here? Why didn't we get the news?"
Just as the soldier was about to answer, he saw the gate of the village in front of him opened. Guard general Dang Cheng came out of it, crossed his hands and said: "Inside the yamen, the Song army discovered you ten miles away when they were on horseback, and asked me to wait here. I didn't expect you to come so fast!"
Li Shifu was stunned: "Has the Song Army arrived yet?"
Dang Cheng smiled and said: "What a coincidence, the Song army arrived last night, and I welcomed them into the stronghold. General Zhang Chi was inspecting the military stronghold, so I came out to greet them."
Li Shifu said joyfully: "Is it God's will? I drank Sali last night, and I was worried that no one would take care of me. The Song army is here. Okay, you take me to see you. The army will advance today, and Suide City will be captured in the evening!" "
