A few days later, Han Shizhong saw that the army was mostly idle, and there was little drill, and asked Qin Hui, only to know that there was no training general in the army, even if there were some talents, but they were all slight, and it was difficult to convince the public, and Captain Liang said that it was useless to practice more, but it took the strength of the soldiers, and when they went into battle in the future, wouldn't they all be listless, not to mention that they would consume food if they moved too much, so they didn't practice. When Han Shizhong heard this fallacy, he felt extremely ridiculous, and wondered how His Majesty had chosen such a good-for-nothing old traitor as this captain to lead the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty!

Of course, Han Shizhong just thought about it in his heart, it was difficult to say something, it was difficult to reward ambitions, he was helpless, depressed, and sighed again and again. Qin Hui saw what Han Shizhong meant, and sighed softly: "Eh, if everyone in my ** middle and bottom is as loyal as Brother Han, and everything is national affairs first, how can the Great Song Dynasty fall to this." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly came to urgently summon Han and Qin. When Han and Qin heard that it was Liang Sicheng's urgent call, their faces changed, and they both felt that there was an ominous omen, so they hurried to it. When the two arrived, they saw Liang Sicheng's face full of urgency and eager to speak. It turned out that the detailed report was made to report, just four or five days ago, the gold thief had broken through Yanjing, Yelu Yahu escaped, I heard that it was a Song people and horses to help, in order to escape the pursuit of the gold thief, and then secretly explored, it was actually the thief army under the command of the dragon barbarian. And this dragon barbarian actually married the daughter of Yelu Dashi and became the concubine of the Liao people, and it is precisely because of this that he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the gold thief, but also to save Yelu Yahu, the brother-in-law.

When Han Shizhong heard that Deng Yun was uprising in Yingzhou earlier, he was also half-convinced, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but change his complexion. Qin Hui was also secretly frightened, he and Deng Yunke had a bitter enmity, Deng Yun hated him to the core, and now he heard that Deng Yun had become a force, and he was afraid that Deng Yun would retaliate in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Hui's heart couldn't help but tighten, his mind was racing, and he hurriedly said: "That dragon barbarian can rush from Yingzhou to Yanjing, and it is necessary to pass through Mo and Zhuo, but he can come so quickly, I am afraid that Mo and Zhuo have already fallen into the hands of this person." But this is really incredible, no matter how great his ability is, how can he take down Mo and Zhuo in such a short period of time? ”

As soon as Qin Hui's voice fell, Han Shizhong frowned, and then answered in a condensed voice: "When I was still in Youzhou, I taught people to find out from outsiders, the forces in Yanjing, for the future?" Later wars. I heard that Mozhou was led by a Liao man named Sudden Leopard, and this person was the old department of Yelu Dashi. If the dragon barbarian really becomes the concubine of the Liao people, with this relationship, it is very likely that the two will unite to deal with Wu Pei'an, the big bandit in Zhuozhou. Long Manzi has only known people, is full of wisdom, is righteous, and his brothers are willing to work hard for him, and now with the help of the Liao people, he closed the people and horses of the leopard, Wu Pei'an is not his opponent, and it is not a problem to break through Zhuozhou. ”

"Oh, it seems that Shizhong appreciates this traitor very much, and it's no wonder that the old man heard that you and he were like brothers and sisters under Liu Yanqing in the past, and they are often called brothers." When Liang Sicheng heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a strange manner. As soon as Han Shizhong heard this, he understood that Liang Sicheng was suspicious, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Taiwei is too careful. This son is a loyal and righteous man, if he is not forced to do so, he will never rebel! I think there must be a big reason for this, why don't you go to the imperial court, and implore Your Majesty to put the overall situation first and issue an edict to recruit peace. Now the dragon barbarian has won Zhuo, Mo, Ying three states, in the southeast of Yanyun has become a force, if you can recruit it, I will wait for Yu Juyong to echo with each other, to break the gold thief, since the hand to capture!! ”

"Humph! How can a traitor be loyal!? What if he breaks the gold thief one day and encourages the thief!? When Liang Sicheng heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shook his sleeves and said angrily. When Han Shizhong heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly looked at Qin Hui, hoping that he could persuade him together.

Qin Hui groaned for a while, but he bowed his head and said, "Lord Taiwei is reasonable. Regardless of the rest, let's just say that this dragon barbarian has become the concubine of the Liao people, and now he has saved the Yelu Yahu, and he will inevitably unite with the Liao people. And my Great Song Dynasty has always been like fire and water with the Liao people, it is incompatible, plus the Liao people are all over the land of Yanyun, as long as this dragon barbarian has a bad intention, Yanyun will definitely have some turmoil. In my opinion, the best thing is to watch the fire from the other side, let the gold thief and the dragon barbarian fight to the death, and I just sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!! ”

As soon as Qin Hui's words came out, it was exactly what Liang Sicheng wanted. Liang Sicheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has no big eyes, he doesn't dare to take the war lightly, he hates to have to spend a soldier, and if he doesn't raise a battle, he can recover the land of Yanyun. This abacus is a good game, but in today's troubled times, how can there be such a cheap thing?

"Hahaha!! What the virtuous nephew said is exactly what the old man wants!! I saw Liang Sicheng laughing loudly, very happy. Han Shizhong's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Taiwei, be slow, and don't care whether you want to recruit An Long Barbarian or not." Now that the golden thief has just obtained Yanjing, the situation is not stable, so it is reasonable to quickly organize troops and horses and go to attack, which is the way of war!! ”

Liang Sicheng was obedient, but his face was cold, and he shouted: "The old man often reads the art of war strategy, isn't it as good as you are a reckless man!" The old man has made up his mind about this matter, and he must not discuss it again, step down!! ”

Han Shizhong saw that Liang Sicheng was angry, and his face changed, but he thought that this matter was very important, so he admonished again. Han Shizhong was so presumptuous, which made Liang Sicheng angry, and scolded angrily, and later wanted to commit the following crimes, beating Han Shizhong with a rod and beating Han Shizhong with thirty military sticks, Qin Hui hurriedly persuaded him to be exempted. Han Shizhong came out angrily.

"Presumptuous!! Licentious~~!!! This Han Juhu thinks that he has made some merits, and he can see no one in his eyes, and he even insinuated that the old man does not understand the art of war, which is really annoying~~!! As soon as Han Shizhong came out, Liang Sicheng roared angrily and smashed the folds on the case. Qin Hui sighed secretly and persuaded him: "Lord Taiwei actually disagrees with this Han Juhu, it is better to transfer him to Hutou Mountain and guard the grain station, so that it will be quiet." ”

Liang Sicheng was obedient, and he also thought that he was out of sight and out of mind, so he promised to order Han Shizhong to pack up and lead his subordinates to Hutou Mountain to guard that night. Han Shizhong knew what Liang Sicheng meant, and his heart was even more depressed, thinking of the brothers under Liu Yanqing in the past, most of them were disheartened by the imperial court, and they didn't want to believe it, and they were the only ones who still adhered to the 'loyalty' that they didn't know what it was. I also think that in today's court, the monarch is treacherous, and Zhongliang is suppressed, and I am afraid that I will never get ahead, so I only laugh in my heart.

So, Han Shizhong set off with his subordinates overnight, and the next day after rushing to Hutou Mountain, he saw that there were only 2,000 old and weak soldiers in the grain station, and he couldn't help but be startled. Han Shizhong's reputation is very high, not to mention his old department, those recruits are also very admired, and they are willing to listen to his deployment, some lazy and arrogant thorns are soon tamed by Han Shizhong.

Later, Liang Sicheng was afraid that Han Shizhong would go to Hutou Mountain, and he was resentful, so he sent a detailed inspection and heard that Han Shizhong drilled soldiers and horses every day, and the sound of the flood shook the mountain, and the army gradually flourished. When Liang Sicheng heard this, he was worried in his heart, afraid that Han Shizhong would buy people's hearts and secretly build a private department.

Just when Liang Sicheng was suspicious in his heart and hesitated to transfer Han Shizhong back to the rear line. In other words, the Golden Emperor Aguta sent someone to investigate, and the Jin people carefully drew a detailed picture of the area near Hutou Mountain, and brought it back to see. Ah Guta then summoned a group of civil and military personnel to discuss, and saw that there was nothing to do with the surroundings of Hutou Mountain, and secretly laughed at the Liang thief who did not understand the art of war, so he advised him to enter from the northwest path, pass through a forest, and make a concealment. Thinking that the Song people are defenseless, and when they transport all the baggage, I am afraid they will still be in the dark. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and even Sagai thought it was a good plan. It just so happened that the arrow wound of the Golden Vulture had also healed for seven or eight years, so he listened to the tune and went with him. Sticky Han's injuries have not healed, although he asked for his life, but he was rejected by Ah Guda on the grounds that there were few strong generals in the city. When Mu Han heard this, he was not resentful, but he was deeply moved by Ah Guta's valuation.

Therefore, Hu Liyan immediately set up troops, brought 3,000 elite iron cavalry and 1,000 rear infantry, came to charge food, and went to Hutou Mountain anxiously.

Three days later, Han Shizhong was patrolling the various armies for drills that day, and when it was almost noon, a scout suddenly came to report that the northwest trail dozens of miles away was covered with wind and dust, and the birds and birds were repeatedly startled, and it was suspected that enemy soldiers were coming.

It turned out that Han Shizhong thought that Hutou Mountain was a heavy place for grain, so he sent additional scouts, and the scope of exploration also expanded a lot. Han Shizhong has always been strict in governing the army, and the brothers under his command are not comparable to Liang Sicheng's arrogant soldiers and weak soldiers, and the scouts in charge of the northwest region found that something was wrong, so they immediately came to report.

Han Shizhong couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, his heart was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses, and secretly slandered: "The gold thief has repeatedly fought wars, and consumed a lot of food, so it must be a shortage of food, and he thinks that the old thief Liang is cowardly and unscrupulous, so he dares to whimsically attack our military food station to make supplies!" Hmph, these gold thieves are really arrogant, see how I kill you and others tonight without leaving a piece of armor!! ”

Han Shizhong thought about it, and the tiger eyes shot two rays of light, quickly summoned all the generals to come over, and ordered all the men and horses to rest, accumulate energy, and prepare for tonight's war. Later, Han Shizhong and the generals discussed and agreed, and then ordered to eat at dusk, and after they were full, they acted according to their strategies.

Before you know it, night falls. In the blink of an eye, it was late at night again. It is said that Hu Liyan has been cautious all the way, and he has already finished resting on the way, and he is full of energy, and he is about to set off when it is time for the first shift. After Hu Liyan arrived at Hutou Mountain, it was almost the time of the second watch. When the Jin generals saw that there were no scouts patrolling under the mountain, and when they saw that the Song people were really unprepared, they were all overjoyed and eager to fight.

Hu Liyan frowned, thinking that no matter how unbearable these Song people were, they should at least be fortified under the mountain in case of emergency. His subordinates have been fighting with him for many years, knowing that he is suspicious by nature, he said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry too much, the old thief Liang is a rabble, and the governance is loose on weekdays, how can it be said that it is ordinary?" ”
