Chapter 1945 The Crazy General Among the Four Generals!

When the unconscious Pan Mei was carried in front of Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi looked anxious and asked, "Is the imperial physician here?"

Eunuch Li said, "I'll be there soon!"

Zhao Guangyi asked, "Was it Liu who destroyed Zhou?"

Eunuch Li said: "The person shooting the arrow looks like Yang Ye!" Liu Miezhou deliberately concealed his figure when shooting the arrow just to create confusion!

Zhao Guangyi frowned and asked, "Is Yang Ye capable of this?"

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "He doesn't have that level, but he can borrow Liu Miezhou's Lingbao bow!"

Generals Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, Liu Yu, and Lin Yongpeng had gathered around Zhao Guangyi at this time.

Zhao Guangyi said: "General Lin, you will be responsible for guarding the rear to prevent the Song army from pursuing us. The rest of us will camp at Erlong Mountain, ten miles away!"

The generals take orders.

A figure in a purple robe and a golden crown appeared on the top of the city wall, with a deep gaze.

Yang Ye and Liu Chongzhi beside them all held their hands, exposed their bodies and looked outside the city!

Yang Ye said: "Your Majesty, the enemy is retreating now, why don't we take advantage of the situation to chase them down!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Although they have retreated, their morale is not low! Look, that team of 3,000 armored soldiers are still waiting in formation, clearly to stop us from chasing them!"

Liu Chongzhi said: "They only have 3,000 men. If we call back the Liao cavalry, we will surely be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Our biggest advantage is the geographical advantage. We can defend the city and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out! If we go out of the city to fight without permission, tell me the truth, can we defeat the Song army?"

Liu Chongzhi suddenly fell silent!
The Luoyang Tiger of the Song Army was known to be invincible in close combat and could be called the king of infantry. Its combat power was second only to the Khitan heavy cavalry!
Yang Ye said: "The "Wu Jing Zong Yao" once said, 'One cavalryman is as powerful as eight infantrymen, ten cavalrymen can confuse a hundred men, and a hundred cavalrymen can defeat a thousand men.' This means that cavalrymen can suppress an enemy with their mobility and impact. According to this calculation, a hundred Khitan cavalrymen can theoretically defeat eight hundred to one thousand ordinary infantrymen of the Song army! Of course, from the perspective of the Song army, if they want to kill a hundred Khitan cavalrymen, they must be prepared to sacrifice eight hundred ordinary infantrymen!"

Liu Chongzhi sighed: "Although the Song army does not have a clear advantage over the Khitan, it has a considerable advantage over our Han army!"

Liu Miezhou asked: "How is the combat power of both sides converted?"

Liu Chongzhi said: "In terms of basic combat power ratio, based on the differences in equipment and logistics, the combat power of the Luoyang Tigers of the Song army is about five to eight times that of our infantry! Even their ordinary infantry combat power is about twice that of ours! The gap is really big!"

Liu Miezhou said: "You mean, if it's Luoyang Tigers fighting against our infantry, we need 500 or 800 people to kill 100 of them. Even their most ordinary infantry can be exchanged for two, right?"

Liu Chongzhi said: "Yes! But fighting is not all infantry against infantry. With the support of Liao cavalry, the infantry's combat power can be increased by half or even doubled! That is, one hundred Han soldiers can exert the combat power of one hundred and fifty or more!"

Liu Miezhou said: "The cooperation between the infantry and cavalry will double the power?"

Liu Chongzhi said: "That's right!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Look, you still want to chase them. Without the support of cavalry, aren't you going to die?"

Liu Chongzhi said awkwardly: "I have not considered it carefully."

Yang Ye said: "As the emperor said, we have the advantage of relying on the defense of Taiyuan City. If the Song army wants to attack, they must deploy more than three times the troops! Moreover, they are fighting across the Taihang Mountains, and the logistical pressure has increased dramatically. The actual combat effectiveness of each branch of the army has been reduced by at least one third!"

Liu Miezhou said: "In a word, we should wait and see, defend the city to the death, and never go out to fight!"

Yang Ye said: "Your Majesty, look, the Khitan cavalry and the Xixia cavalry are back!"

Liu Miezhou said: "There are only temporary tents outside. Now that the weather is getting cold, it will be more comfortable for them to sleep outdoors than in the city. Let them in!"

Lin Yongpeng rode a white horse, his silver spear pointed at the ground, his eyes fixed on the city gate!

Seeing that the city gate was still closed, he knew that the other party had given up the pursuit!

He turned the horse's head and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!" Then he shook the reins and the warhorse slowly moved forward.

The three thousand imperial guards received the order and immediately turned around, then followed Lin Yongpeng in an orderly manner and marched quickly! Lin Yongpeng's horse seemed to walk slowly, but its legs were long and its steps were big, so if the infantry was slow, they would not be able to keep up!
When we arrived at Erlong Mountain, ten miles away, we saw from afar that the Song army had already started setting up camp!
Zhao Guangyi and others were already sitting in the tent.

Lin Yongpeng said outside the tent: "Your Majesty, the Han army did not send troops to pursue and kill us!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "My dear, come in quickly!"

When Lin Yongpeng came in, he saw Zhao Guangyi sitting in the middle, with four generals, Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han and Liu Yu, on both sides.

There was no sign of Pan Mei, so he must have been handed over to the imperial physician for treatment.

Zhao Guangyi pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "Sit here."

Lin Yongpeng immediately walked over and sat down.

He could feel that the eyebrows of generals Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, and Liu Yu all seemed to twitch slightly!
Lin Yongpeng also remained calm, but sneered in his heart: Haha, you all are unwilling to accept it, right?

Zhao Guangyi said: "To make a long story short, General Pan is injured, and the army cannot be without a commander for a day. I order General Lin to temporarily take over the post of the Northern Route Recruiting and Suppressing Envoy, and be fully responsible for the Northern Expedition against the Pseudo-Han. We will talk about it after General Pan recovers."

Liu Yu was the first to raise an objection: "Your Majesty, General Lin has never commanded a large army and lacks experience. I am afraid that letting him be the commander-in-chief will be inappropriate. I beg Your Majesty to think twice!"

Without waiting for the other three generals to stand up, Lin Yongpeng knelt on the ground with a plop, "Thank you for your grace! I will do my best and die for you!"

Damn! Lin wants to confirm it right away, right?

Cui Yanjin was not fooled by Lin Yongpeng's tricks. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, is General Lin's qualifications a little lacking? Please think twice!"

Zhao Guangyi frowned! He glanced at Li Hanqiong!

Li Hanqiong said with a stiff face: "I'm afraid my brothers won't accept it!"

Damn it! How dare you talk back to me?

There was already a look of displeasure in Zhao Guangyi's eyes!

Cao Han also turned a blind eye and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhao Guangyi was completely furious and said coldly: "Do you think that because you have a close relationship with my brother and have a long history, you have never taken me, the younger brother of Emperor Taizu, seriously?"

Liu Yu, Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong and Cao Han were suddenly shocked and knelt down at the same time!

The four of them said in unison: "I dare not!"

Zhao Guangyi sneered: "Don't dare? Then what were you doing just now? I am the Lord of All Saints, and my words are golden. How can I change them?!" The four generals were silent!

Zhao Guangyi sneered, "You are not convinced, right? Why are you not convinced? Do you think you have seniority? Humph! Whether a soldier is respected and loved depends on how many years he has served in the army or how many battles he has fought? Ah? Liu Yu, tell me!"

Liu Yu felt the suffocating pressure and said tremblingly: "Look at how many battles we have fought!"

Zhao Guangyi looked at Cui Yanjin, "Cui Yanjin, you say!"

Cui Yanjin was confident: "It depends on how many battles he has fought!"

Oh my! So confident!
Zhao Guangyi sneered and looked at Li Hanqiong and Cao Han. "It seems that you two have the same idea?"

Li Hanqiong and Cao Han actually replied at the same time: "Yes!"

Zhao Guangyi suddenly laughed out of anger, "Do you think I am confused? Are you four secretly happy in your hearts? Are you thinking: I have participated in at least a dozen battles, big and small! Lin is so young, how many battles can he have fought in? Right, that's what they think, right?"

Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han and Liu Yu were all startled at the same time!
Could it be that Lin has fought more battles than us? Impossible!
Zhao Guangyi sneered and said, "Which one is more worthy of respect and admiration, fighting more battles or winning more battles?"

Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, and Liu Yu were stunned! Then they answered in unison: "Winning many battles deserves respect!"

The four of them murmured in their hearts at the same time, could it be that Lin's winning rate is higher than ours? If he just fought a battle and won by luck, then this is also called "never losing"! However, if the emperor does this, then the brothers' hearts will be completely chilled!
Zhao Guangyi said: "Cui Yanjin, thirteen battles, big and small, eight wins and five losses; Li Hanqiong, eighteen battles, big and small, twelve wins and six losses; Cao Han, thirteen battles, big and small, ten wins and three losses; Liu Yu, four battles, big and small, all wins! Liu Yu, I didn't expect you to win every battle!"

Liu Yu looked embarrassed: "I am only able to benefit from General Pan's help!"

Zhao Guangyi sneered, "In terms of seniority, General Lin joined the army at the age of thirteen, and now he has been a veteran for eleven years! Liu Yu, a veteran for eleven years, his seniority is not shallow, right?"

Liu Yu said awkwardly, "Not really!" He didn't expect that Lin Yongpeng actually had eleven years of "military service"! This guy looked so tender and skinny, but he actually joined the army at the age of thirteen! He joined the army at the age of twenty-two!

Zhao Guangyi sneered, "Cui Yanjin, how many battles do you think General Lin has fought? I remember you two have known each other for a long time, right?"

Cui Yanjin did not dare to hide it, "I am indeed an old acquaintance of General Lin! He has fought more than a hundred battles!"

Liu Yu was shocked. "More than a hundred battles?"

Zhao Guangyi asked, "More than a hundred, how much more?"

Cui Yanjin said: "I can't remember!"

"So how many games did he lose?"

"Well...it seems...there is no defeat!"

Liu Yu frowned and said, "How is that possible?"

Cui Yanjin sighed, "He has indeed never lost a battle he has participated in!"

Zhao Guangyi asked, "Liu Yu, do you know General Wei Qingyun?"

Liu Yu said: "I know! He seems to be a general of the previous dynasty! Yes! It is said that he was assassinated by General Lian and replaced!"

"General Wei is a legend! Did you know that he has four adopted sons?"

"I've heard of them, they're called the Four Generals of the Storm! The Crazy General, the Mad General, the Fierce General, and the Deadly General!"

"Do you know who the mad general is among the four generals of Fengyun?"

Liu Yu slowly looked at Lin Yongpeng, "Could it be General Lin?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "That's right!"

Liu Yu was startled, then silent. But in his heart, he specially greeted Cui Yanjin's ancestors!
The man surnamed Cui actually didn't mention that he knew Lin Yongpeng! He didn't mention that Lin Yongpeng was actually the crazy general among the four generals!

It almost caused me to die!

The Four Generals, legends of the Later Zhou era!

After the death of the Wei general, the four generals also went their separate ways. Only Lin Yongpeng felt that the death of the Wei general was suspicious and vowed to investigate it to the end. Zhou Shizong arranged for him to enter the Ministry of Justice to investigate secretly.

Later he surrendered to the previous emperor, Zhao Kuangyin, and now he is on board the warship of the new emperor.

The Later Zhou Dynasty once had a war with the Karakhanid Kingdom. General Huai was trapped in the enemy's camp. Lin Yongpeng went in and out seven times to rescue General Wei and fought his way out!
At that time, soldiers on both sides saw a young general on a white horse with a silver spear, his white robe turned red by blood, and he was shot by five arrows. He rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger into a flock of sheep. His fearless and desperate spirit almost scared the enemy to death!

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who followed the young general in white robes had never thought that they could break into the enemy camp, and they were all shocked! Seeing that the follow-up team did not catch up, Lin Yongpeng actually rushed out again!
With one man, one spear and one horse, he killed the enemies seven times, and rekindled the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, arousing their bloodiness, and rescued General Wei in one go!

If it weren’t for Lin Yongpeng, General Wei would have died in that battle!
The morale of the entire Great Zhou army is low and the whole army will be wiped out!

It was Lin Yongpeng who turned the world around alone!
Liu Yu thought to himself: What am I going to gain by going against such a brave and resourceful person? To die quickly? To die miserably? Damn!

Zhao Guangyi asked, "Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, have you heard of the name of the mad general?"

Li Hanqiong and Cao Han both smiled awkwardly and said in unison, "I've heard of it."

Zhao Guangyi said, "Humph! You know that General Lin is both intelligent and brave, but you pretend not to know him and deliberately suppress him! You are too selfish! What time is it now? It is the perfect time for me to unify the north! You don't think about me, the country, and the people, but only care about your own little piece of land! I want to get to the bottom of it and ask, who among you thinks is more capable than Lin Yongpeng?"

Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Cao Han and Liu Yu suddenly stopped talking!

The news that Lin Yongpeng temporarily replaced General Pan Mei as the Northern Route Commander quickly spread throughout the army.
