Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 143 Quelling the Chaos

Updated: 2013-12-18

Han Shizhong listened carefully, suddenly slapped his horse and jumped up, holding a halberd in his hand and rushing straight away, and between the lightning and flint, he was killed, and the halberd was in the middle of the general who was unwilling to surrender. Seeing this, the other two hurriedly said that they wanted to descend. At this time, Liu Yanqing's army was already approaching, and the rest of the rebel generals saw this, and they all knew that the situation was extreme, and they abandoned and surrendered one after another. Han Shizhong turned the horse to return, Liu Yanqing heard that Tong Guan was finally kicked to death by the horse, sneered again and again, and only said that if he did too much injustice, he would kill himself, and the generals would take it as a warning.

Subsequently, Han Shizhong persuaded Liu Yanqing to send troops to save Pingyang Mountain. Liu Yanqing thought that now that the rebellious army had just been quelled, it was not appropriate to move troops and horses, and he thought that if he saved that Pan Bo, he would not ask for trouble. Later, Han Shizhong persuaded him several times. Liu Yanqing only agreed to teach Han Shizhong to call Yantong to lead 3,000 soldiers to rescue. Liu Yanqing was only willing to send 3,000 soldiers and horses, showing that he had no intention of saving them. But Han Shizhong wanted to save people, so he quickly ordered Hu Yantong. Even if Hu Yantong arrived at the Guannai and ordered 3,000 elite soldiers, he would set off immediately. On the other side, Liu Yanqing and other generals were pacifying the soldiers and horses, quickly reorganizing the three armies, and then planning for war.

Let's say that Hu Yantong will talk about it, but I don't realize that it is already the time of a stick of incense. Xu Qing's face was full of embarrassment, and he sighed silently: "The old thief has been trying to win the top of people all his life, and he has exhausted his conspiracies and calculations, and his fellow brothers have abandoned him and lost all his fame, and everyone in the world hates everything." In the end, it ended up like this, and it was also self-inflicted! ”

"Hmph, such a big traitor harms the country and the people, I don't know how many loyal and good people died under his conspiracy and tricks, if the people of the world know about it, they will only clap their hands and celebrate!!" Hu Yantong snorted coldly, and there was disgust in his eyes. Xu Qing bowed slightly, but sighed again, and said silently in his heart: "The source of such a big traitor is clearly the faint old man!" ”

Or Xu Qing himself is like this, or he was influenced by Deng Yun, a later generation, but he dared to think about this great rebellion.

When Hu Yantong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly asked: "Why is my brother sighing, is it a pity for the death of the old thief!?" ”

"Naturally not! The old thief has done a lot of evil, and my teacher is his sworn enemy, and the old thief has been repeatedly framed in the past, so that my teacher has to retire from the government and the opposition, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and be depressed for half his life. My teacher even said that the old thief will not die for a day, and Song Zhizhong will never come out! Such an old thief was finally punished, and I was also relieved to think that my mentor was in the spirit of the sky, but I only hated my brother for being incompetent and failed to punish this thief!! Xu Qing spoke sharply and righteously. Hu Yantong was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed, patted Xu Qing on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm a straightforward person, brother, don't be surprised!" ”

Xu Qing also knew that Hu Yantong was a person, and he would not take it to heart, and after talking to him for a while, he quickly went to order the soldiers to speed up cooking. Let's say that the Liao soldiers were defeated, and the baggage in the camp was too late to be brought, and all the gains were obtained by the Song army.

Two hours later, Deng Yun and the others all finished resting, and the generals ate in the tent, each of them was so hungry that their eyes were shining, and they devoured a meal, seeing that Deng Yun and Yang Zaixing were like tigers eating whales, and even Hu Yantong, who was horrible on weekdays, was also sighing to himself.

It was just a cup of tea, and everyone was full of food and drink, among which Deng Yun, Yang Zaixing, and Huo Rui ate a full seven or eight buckets of rice.

But seeing that Deng Yun's spirit was much better, his expression froze, so he set his eyes on Hu Yantong, which was to ask about something. Hu Yantong and Xu Qing glanced at each other, and then said the changes in Juyong Pass one by one. Deng Yun and the others changed color again and again when they heard it. After Hu Yantong said it, everyone was relieved, and they also applauded Tong Guan's death.

After a while, everyone's mood gradually calmed down. Deng Yun's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Now that the internal troubles in the army have been eliminated, and although the Liao people have suffered a great defeat to our army, they have been defeated twice by our brothers in this Pingyang Mountain, losing nearly 10,000 soldiers, and their morale has been greatly reduced. In this way, the Liao people will not dare to move the army lightly for a while. Our army was able to put in order just in time. However, Xiao Gan, the prime minister of the Liao people, is not an ordinary person, and just in case, I want to lead the army to Yanjing as a cover. What do you think!? ”

As soon as Deng Yun's voice fell, all the generals were excited and praised one after another. Hu Yantong laughed even more, and said bluntly: "Brother Deng dares to fight, I like you very much, I am willing to listen to your orders!" ”

Deng Yun heard this, but he also wanted Hu Yantong to stay in the army, after all, he was born with divine power, excellent martial arts, and was also a rare general, and he also had 3,000 elite soldiers under his command, and there were nearly 10,000 people together with the army. Of course, this is because Deng Yun understands Hu Yantong's temperament, otherwise if he is arrogant, self-righteous, and traitorous, he would rather lack it.

"Good! With General Huyan here, our army is like a tiger with wings, so why can't it be done? I'll send someone to report it immediately! Deng Yun smiled, and after speaking, Zhao Yun understood and took the initiative to attend. Deng Yun first gestured with his eyes and asked him about his mental condition. Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, general! The last general will be full of food and rest, the spirit is just right, and he will live up to his mission!! ”

Deng Yun listened to it, smiled happily, bowed his head slightly, and then repaired the paperwork. After a while, Zhao Yun took the paperwork and immediately retreated. After discussing some details with the generals, Deng Yun was not afraid of the Liao people attacking again, and ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.

Let's say that Xiao Gan broke twice in a row, fled in embarrassment, and was even injured by Deng Yun. A group of soldiers rushed to escort him back to Yanjing. The demon queen Xiao Jinxian was shocked when she heard the report, and quickly ordered the imperial doctor in the palace to heal her.

That night, Xiao Jinxian suddenly summoned Xu Tianyi. Xu Tianyi thought that the demon queen wanted to surrender his guilt, so he was worried in his heart and hurried there.

In the back garden of the palace, a small pavilion stands on the edge of the pond, surrounded by a hundred flowers, carved railings and big columns, the night is quiet, but there is a bit of secluded color. Next to the small pavilion, there are many strange peaks and strange stones. Xu Tianyi, under the leadership of a eunuch, walked on thin ice all the way, and faintly saw that the small pavilion was brightly lit, and many palace eunuchs were holding incense flowers and ceremonial guards, and the brocade screen was similar, with columns on both sides and four corners of the platform. Among them, there is a person sitting on the throne, seeing that it is a red-clothed imitation, splendid and gorgeous, graceful figure, under the illumination of the moon lanterns, colorful and shining, stirring people's hearts.

"I heard that this demon queen is extremely charming, and a look can hook a man's soul. I don't know if it's so powerful! Hum! Anyway, I've landed in such a field, and it's worth it to look at this peerless demon girl when I'm dying! ”

Xu Tianyi thought to himself, unconsciously, he had arrived. I saw that in front of the small pavilion, there were many guards standing with golden gourd axes, all of them were burly and tall, posing as strong men with a majestic and murderous attitude, standing left and right. Xu Tianyi didn't dare to be presumptuous, and waited quietly.

After a while, I heard the eunuch summon me. Xu Tianyi hurriedly knelt down on the stage, bowed and bowed, not daring to raise his head. Just listen to the giggles, and you will be intoxicated and soul-moving. Xu Tianyi's heart twitched, he raised it slightly, and he saw the white jade-like skin in the afterglow, and there was a long leg under the red cover.

"I heard that you are a celebrity next to the old thief, presumably you know a thing or two about the intelligence in the army?" The voice was like a soft breeze, and it seemed to be light from the calm surface of the lake. Xu Tian raised his head one by one, and saw that the corners of his eyes were red and bright, slightly upturned, and his eyes were like crystals, like water, and his soul had been hooked. Fortunately, Xu Tian was prepared early in the morning, secretly tongued, came back to his senses, but didn't dare to look at it again, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Although the Queen Mother asks, the villain will answer one by one!" ”

Xiao Jinxian giggled again when he saw that he could control it like this, so he asked: "The mourning family heard that Xiao Gan was folded in the hands of a Song army, do you know the general of the unified army?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, how could the villain not know that this person's name is Deng Yun, and he has a title called 'Dragon Barbarian'. This person was originally a barbarian bandit, and he even killed the villain's teacher, and the villain had an enmity with him!! If the Queen Mother wants to take this person's life, even if the villain is full of liver and brain, he will never live up to the Queen Mother's high hopes!! Xu Tianyi said sharply and quickly. When Xiao Jinxian heard this, Dai frowned, and his voice suddenly became much colder: "Whether you have a grudge with him or not has nothing to do with the mourning family." The mourning family just wants to know what skills this person has, and he can frustrate Xiao Gan in a row! ”

When Xu Tian heard this, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and he was much more cautious, and hurriedly replied truthfully: "Although this person is young, he is a proficient in the art of war, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and a brave man. ”

"Oh?" When Xiao Jinxian heard this, the pearl-like charming eyes shot out two rays of light in an instant, and he couldn't help but grin and said, "Can you tell the mourning family about this person?" ”

"Dare to disobey?" Xu Tianyi trembled, only to feel that his whole body was burning, but he still suppressed it and said respectfully.

"Huh. Okay, give me a seat. Xiao Jinxian laughed, and gave the order. Xu Tianyi then sat on a couch under Xiao Jinxian's instructions, and the brocade embroidered mattress on the couch was thick and numerous, as well as cushions made of various precious animal skins.

However, Xu Tianyi had no intention of appreciating it, and only a few times did he focus his eyes, which almost made Xu Tianyi unable to hold on, and his heart was confused. Xu Tianyi sat down, lowered his head, and several palace maids brought some refreshments. Xiao Jinxian was whispering, and soon Xu Tianyi seemed to have become a puppet and began to talk in detail.

Xiao Jinxian listened carefully, and before he knew it, it had been half an hour. As soon as Xu Tian said that, Xiao Jinxian couldn't help but think of a person, that person was majestic and burly, if he had the power to reach the sky, his tiger eyes were shining, and he did not lose his wisdom, it was actually that Yelu Dashi. It's just that the Yelu Dashi in Xiao Jinxian's mind is much younger. It turned out that many years ago, Xiao Jinxian and Yelu Dashi had an unknown relationship.

"This young man is seven points similar to Brother Yelu back then, the same is the pride of the sky, even if it is a great difficulty, he is also capable of turning the tide, which makes people feel ashamed." Xiao Jinxian sighed softly, as if she was a little tired, and scenes of the past kept passing through her mind.

The night passed by, and it was noon the next day. Zhao Yun returned and hurriedly reported. It turned out that Liu Yanqing learned that Pan Bo was dead, and heard that the Liao army had suffered repeated setbacks, and was overjoyed, and saw the strategy in Deng Yun's book, and praised it endlessly, and quickly ordered Deng Yun to lead troops to look at Yanjing first, so as to delay the Liao army, and when the army was reorganized, he would come and go to help and break Yanjing in one fell swoop.

Deng Yun listened to the report, his spirit was shocked, and he quickly gave orders to the generals under his command. After the order, Deng Yun led Yang Zaixing, Hu Yantong and other generals with a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses to march to Yanjing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Xu Qing, escorting the baggage and armaments to follow.

Unconsciously, when it was almost dusk, the Liao army scouts had already detected that a Song army was going to Yanjing to kill, and they rushed to report it. The demon queen Xiao Jinxian heard that there were only 3,000 troops, and thought that Xiao Gan's injuries had not yet healed, so he ordered the soldiers and horses in the city not to fight, but to defend the city.

On the other side, Deng Yun led his troops to seven or eight miles away from the north gate of Yanjing, and saw that the Liao army did not move, thinking that Xiao Gan's injuries were not good, and he had been defeated repeatedly, so he did not dare to come to battle, so he immediately explored the terrain everywhere. Deng Yun was also cautious, thinking that the Liao army in the city was strong, and he did not dare to set up a camp in Pingchuan, so he reorganized the army on a dangerous mountain, and when Xu Qing's army arrived, he rushed to build it overnight and set up a camp.

That night, he said that at this time, Xiao Jinxian only learned that Xi Zuo had come to report, two days ago, there was a big chaos in Juyong Pass, the Song soldiers killed each other, and a rebellious army was killed outside the pass, and then I don't know what happened, but these rebellious troops surrendered. I was afraid that I would find out about these fine works at that time, and I didn't dare to approach them. However, Xiao Jinxian has always been very intelligent, and soon guessed that this must be Tong Guan's old thief's desire to rebel and claim the king's heart was discovered, causing chaos. Then he thought that no matter what, the Song soldiers must be in chaos at this time, but in case, they will be torn apart, and it is a good time to break them in one fell swoop!

Xiao Jinxian thought about it, and immediately ordered the generals to prepare the army, and immediately send an army to attack Juyong Pass tomorrow. However, it was said that Xiao Gan was lying in the sick house, and some soldiers suspected that Xiao Jinxian did not understand military affairs, and he was worried about the Song soldiers outside the city, so he came to report in a hurry. Xiao Gan was shocked when he heard this, regardless of his injuries, and anxiously looked forward to seeing the demon queen in the palace. The demon queen was early in the morning, and she was summoned quickly. When Xiao Gan entered the hall, seeing that Xiao Jinxian had already prepared for the banquet and had not yet had time to salute, Xiao Jinxian first said that he would be seated without courtesy, and after some reassurance, he said: "Now the situation in Yanjing is not optimistic, if the wailing is correct, the prime minister is worried about the Song army outside the city?" ”
