Chapter 874 Dead but Not Dead

With the defeat of Yue Tengze's troops, the defense line supported by Song Jiang in the north collapsed in an instant, and the special terrain of Chifengkou made it impossible to pounce all the troops on it, which caused a terrible result. The battle in front is unfavorable, unable to capture the mountain in a short time, and the soldiers and horses guarding the rear were attacked by Tuoba Qingyun's department, it can really be said that there are wolves in front of the tiger and there are tigers in the back, no matter how smart Wu Yong is, there is no way at this time, and now the **** is composed of a net of heaven and earth, and the **** is for Zhongtiao Mountain, and even the tiger prison pass that has been worked hard to lay has been given up, how can there be any flaws? In order to escape, the rebels were desperate, but Lin Chong just couldn't hold out, no matter how the rebels attacked, they couldn't break through the Chifengkou defense line. Of course, now Song Jiang has another choice, that is, to withdraw and concentrate his forces to deal with Tuoba Qingyun behind, but this also faces a question, will Tuoba Qingyun be stupid to accept it? You can't advance or retreat, you don't need to determine how to exert your strength, it only takes three days to trap the army alive.

Zhongtiao Mountain, I thought that this would become a battle for myself to jump into the dragon gate, but who would have thought that it would become my own grave. Conquering Guanzhong is not only Chai's wish, but also his Song Jiang's wish, since Liangshan was breached, Song Jiang has been thinking about finding a place to live again, but for many years, he has been living in the north and south, and he has been living a life of wandering, otherwise, he will not be attached to Chai. Now the opportunity has come, due to the exhaustive military force for many years, the battle line has been stretched too long, and it has been deeply trapped, and the first battle of Liaodong and the battle of Gyeonggi Road have made Ding **** face an unprecedented predicament. This is an opportunity for him to re-emerge in Song Jiang, the land to which Guanzhong belongs is too big, if he can break through the Yellow River defense line and enter Guanzhong. and then occupy Liangzhou and other places in the northwest sandbank, and then seize Yinzhou and Xingqing Mansion, who can guarantee that he Song Jiang will not be able to replicate the miracle created by Zhao Yougong back then? Song Jiang will not worry that the Chai clan will retaliate against him because of this, the **** tree has deep roots, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Yellow River defense line is broken. As long as the Ding **** retreats to Hedong and Hebei, relying on the vast world to which the Liao Dynasty belonged and the Siberian city that had just been built, even if the Chai clan wants to annihilate the Ding ****, it will not be completed in a short time. Therefore, taking this opportunity to rise in the northwest, there is a lot to be done. Song Jiang's idea is easy to realize, how Zhao Yougong played between Song and Liao back then, he can learn from it. If he is really allowed to enter the Guanzhong, it is really hard to say how far it will develop. Wu Yong's original plan to enter the customs and occupy the northwest has the charm of Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage in three parts of the world, but unfortunately, none of them thought that the **** would make a dangerous move, and use the tiger prison in exchange for the safety of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Gao Minwen led his troops to attack more than once, and more than 4,000 corpses had been dropped in one hour. But no progress has been made on the five attack points. If such casualties continue, it is estimated that it will not be long before the rebels are defeated. One message after another. Song Jiang's heart also slowly sank, he really didn't want to die, even if he was sluggling to survive, but Song Jiang knew that he had no possibility of stealing his life, and he would definitely allow many people to surrender. But he won't accept him Song Jiang. I knew that there would be today, and I wouldn't have forced Zhang Gong like that in the first place, and I cut off my back road in vain. Wu Yong kept frowning, even when he almost lost hope, he still thought about it. He had an idea in mind. But he didn't dare to say it, and once he said it, he didn't know what his fate would be.

More and more people died, Song Jiang didn't know when the knife would fall on his neck, and at this time, his only hope had to fall on Wu Yong. Song Jiang seemed to feel that Wu Yong had something to say, but he didn't know why Wu Yong didn't speak for a long time, Song Jiang was a thoughtful person, he came to Wu Yong's side and arched his hand heavily, lowered his voice and asked bitterly, "Brother Wu, is there a way to save me?" ”

"This ...... Brother Song" Wu Yong was very hesitant, opened his mouth and swallowed back, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one could hear clearly, he approached and said in a very weak voice, "Brother, junior brother to tell the truth, with the current situation, it is impossible for us to fight a bloody way." Lin Chong is a tiger in Guanzhong, and his ability to lead troops is no less than that of Wu Jinqing, and there are more fierce generals such as Yang Zhi and Xiao Yunwu under his command, if Lin Chong can rush out, we still have a little chance, but if we are so stubbornly defending Chifeng Pass, we don't have to think about it if we want to break through the defense line formed by Lin Chong. However, if my brother wants to live, there is another way, I don't know if my brother has heard a word, the people who can really live are those who die. ”

Wu Yong didn't say it too bluntly, but Song Jiang was so smart that he couldn't understand it. What is the real dead can live, this is to ask him Song Jiang to pretend to be dead and fool around, as an ordinary person, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but for a person of Song Jiang's status, if he does this, a little bit of it is spread, and the image of the whole person will be completely ruined. There are very few heroes in this world who can be like Liu Bang, even the traitor Cao Mengde can't do this kind of thing of pretending to be dead and running for his life. Of course Song Jiang is reluctant to do this, the reason why he can enjoy the great Song Dynasty is because of his reputation, if he does this kind of thing, once it spreads, his reputation will be useless. He Song Jiang can rise to the Great Song Dynasty and become a masterpiece of a generation, relying on fame, otherwise, what advantage does he have compared with Zhao Yougong and Chai Keyan? In terms of the foundation of the theory of origin, I am afraid that he Song Jiang can't even compare to Tian Xingmao. Between life and death, between Wang Tu's hegemony and life, Song Jiang looked very hesitant, "Brother Wu, how can Song do such a thing?" How can you abandon your brothers and run for your life alone? ”

"Brother's words are wrong, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as my brother is still alive, where can I not pull up a team of soldiers and horses? As long as time passes, my brother will definitely be able to make a comeback, Han Xin can be humiliated by his subordinates, Han Gaozu has the siege of Baideng, and my brother may be patient for the time being. If the elder brother can survive and avenge his brothers in the future, the brothers will be happy, at least they will not die here in vain. Brother, don't hesitate any longer, make a decision quickly! ”

Wu Yong anxiously persuaded, in fact, Wu Yong knew that Song Jiang was already tempted, and he knew Song Jiang too well after being a brother for so many years. Song Jiang is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, forcing Chao Gai to death and killing Lu Junyi, isn't it all Song Jiang's doing? To say that Song Jiang is for his brothers. Unwilling to flee for his life, Wu Yong absolutely doesn't believe it, this Brother Song wants to go down the stairs, at least he can't bear the notoriety of pretending to be dead and running for his life. Wu persuaded for a long time, but it was useless, and Song Jiang just insisted on disagreeing. In the end, Wu Yong sighed silently, this wicked man can only be used by him. I saw Wu Yong pick up a whistle stick from the ground and wave it towards Song Jiang's shoulder. Wu's action was too sudden, and the pro-soldiers not far away didn't react at all, but when the pro-soldiers ran over, Song Jiang was already lying on the ground and didn't move. Wu Yong was about to scold his mother in his heart, this Brother Song pretended to be too similar, this stick is very particular, just hit on the shoulder. Isn't this too fast? knew Song Jiang's tricks, but Wu Yong still scolded the stunned soldiers, "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly help General Song change his clothes, take off your clothes, and then cut General Song's beard." ”

Only then did the soldiers react, and they hurriedly helped Song Jiang get up and finished doing this. Under the command of Wu Yong, more than a dozen cronies rushed towards Chifengkou with Song Jiang, who had passed out. When they were about to reach the bottom of Chifengkou Mountain, they wiped blood on their faces one by one, and lay next to the corpses of their companions pretending to be killed in battle. The fierce battle at Chifengkou is chaotic, and who cares that there are more than a dozen corpses on the battlefield? The fighting at Chifengkou continued to spread, and after Gao Minwen joined Yue Tengze, he reorganized a new round of offensive. But when they wanted to find Song Jiang and Wu Yong, they found that they were gone, and after asking many people, no one knew where these two main backbones of the army had gone. Song Jiang and Wu Yong disappeared, causing the rebels, who were already at an absolute disadvantage, to be even more confused, and their morale was about to drop to a freezing point. The new offensive was already doomed to failure before it was launched. The battle lasted until the beginning of the next day, Gao Minwen's department was finally defeated, and at the same time, Tuoba Qingyun's army was less than four miles away from Chifengkou, at this time, Lin Chong issued an order for a counterattack, "The rebels have suffered heavy casualties and are no longer able to resist, and now order all the troops to launch a counteroffensive with all their might, annihilate this rebel army, and the most important point is to capture Song Jiang alive, but whoever catches Song Jiang will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold." ”

The general attack order was issued, and the defenders in the area of Chifengkou were like tigers in the mountains, coupled with the cooperation of Tuoba Qingyun's department in the north, the rebels were like a group of grass chickens in distress, only knowing that they were bored and fled, and the result was either blocked and killed by Ding****, or surrendered on their knees. Gao Minwen faced Yang Zhi alone, and finally lost the battle, and was hacked to death in the dry grass with a knife, Yue Tengze was captured by Hu Yanqing, and the rest of the rebel generals were also killed and surrendered. The **** offensive is fierce, especially the two young people Fan Wenyuan and Qi Zhourong, they are too eager to win Song Jiang, this is a great achievement, but the two of them are about to meet, and they are stunned that they have not found any trace of Song Jiang. Seeing that he was about to join Tuoba Qingyun's soldiers and horses, Fan Wenyuan suddenly stopped, and he suddenly thought of the group of people he had just met. After a quick glance just now, I felt that a person was a little familiar, but I was in a hurry to find Song Jiang at that time, so I didn't fight with those miscellaneous fish, and now that I think about it, I really regret it. After turning his head, Fan Wenyuan jumped and shouted with the ghost head knife, "Don't attack, hurry back, Song Heizi is pretending to be dead, and he is already behind us at this time." ”

Song Jiang was also a generation of heroes back then, the lord of Liangshan, and a figure as famous as Fang La, he didn't expect to do something like pretending to be dead and fleeing for his life. I didn't expect it, but the **** soldiers wanted Song Jiang's head too much, and a group of people followed Fan Wenyuan to Chifengkou again, and met Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing who came slowly on the way. Lin Chong was still puzzled, stopped Fan Wenyuan and asked, "You kid, why are you going to Chifengkou if you don't attack the rebels?" ”

Fan Wenyuan was extremely depressed, and after telling his guess, Lin Chong was also frightened. Lin Chong didn't remember that military merit like Fan Wenyuan, when the official position was in his position, no matter how great the merit was, it was nothing more than a title and a monetary reward, he just didn't want Song Jiang to escape. has been in contact with Song Jiang for too long, this guy is too scheming and ambitious, as long as he doesn't die, he will be a scourge, Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing will not support Yang Zhi and Tuoba Qingyun, and lead the only few hundred cavalry in his department to turn their horses and follow Fan Wenyuan to chase them. It's just a pity that Lin Chong and the others chased too late, at this time Song Jiang and Wu Yong had already passed the Chifeng Pass, and once they passed the Chifeng Pass, the hills and forests on the periphery of the vast Zhongtiao Mountain, it was too simple to hide a few people.

Standing under the stele at the mouth of Chifeng, Lin Chong angrily smashed the Zhangba snake spear into the stone, instantly striking out a series of sparks, "This can make Song Jiang run away, incompetent...... Incompetent ......"

Lin Chong was angry with himself, as long as he killed Song Jiang, he could avenge the old general Zhang Gong, but now it's good, such a great opportunity can be missed. His Royal Highness said that it was mainly because he returned to Chang'an in the future, how to face Princess Zhang? Lin Chong was scolding himself, but Fan Wenyuan and the others all lowered their heads in shame, this battle was won, but Song Jiang, who wanted the most, could not be kept. Therefore, in fact, it has been defeated, and a tiger prison can't change Song Jiang's head, which is too much of a loss.

When Lin Chong and the others returned to the north of Chifengkou, the battle had come to an end, and Tuoba Qingyun found Lin Chong with joy, but what he got was the news that Song Jiang had escaped. Tuoba Qingyun, who was originally smiling, was covered with frost in an instant, Tuoba Qingyun was really angry, and frowned and reprimanded very unhappily, "General Lin, you are also an old man, how can you let Song Jiang run away?" ”

"The princess is angry, Lin is incompetent!" Lin Chong knew how big his mistake was, in the final analysis, he was careless, thinking that he had the chance to win, he didn't leave anyone to block the Chifeng Pass, as long as someone blocked the Chifeng Pass, even if Song Jiang pretended to be dead, it was not so simple to fool the past. Seeing Lin Chong being reprimanded, Fan Wenyuan was a little angry, and couldn't help but interject, "Princess, don't blame the general, it's Song Jiang who was let go by the last general!" ”

As soon as Fan Wenyuan said a word, Hu Yanqing frowned, turned around and slapped Fan Wenyuan in the face, "Bastard, here is your share of talking?" ”

Fan Wenyuan was young and vigorous, and he felt that he was right, so he even widened his eyes. Hu Yanqing is called a depressed, this stinky boy, why is he so ignorant, let go of Song Jiang, this can't escape responsibility anywhere, now Princess Tuoba reprimands a few words is understandable, now punish it, and when he returns to Chang'an, no one will continue to pursue this matter, but unfortunately Fan Wenyuan, this kid doesn't understand things here.
