Qian Song

Chapter 167 Aunt Shi Hong: He's the Devil (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

At the beginning, when Li Cun was negotiating peace with Zhao Song Dynasty, Tong Guan felt that Li Cun's unilateral request for personnel made it impossible for Zhao Ji to explain to his subjects, so he discussed with Li Cun to return ten people to Zhao Song Dynasty, making this one look like an exchange between the two sides. Prisoners of war, leave a little more fig leaf for the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Li Cun didn't want to make any more troubles, so he agreed, but declared that Zhao Song Dynasty would not give to whomever it wanted.

After several discussions, Li Cun agreed to return ten people including Wang Yuan and Liu Guangguo to the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wang Yuan is actually quite a good general, and Li Cun also wanted to keep him.

But I don't know whether it was because Wang Yuan felt that Li Cun paid too much attention to Han Shizhong and ignored him, or because Wang Yuan was really an absolutely loyal minister of the Zhao Song Dynasty. In short, Wang Yuan never surrendered.

And Wang Yuan is Tong Guan's favorite general, so Wang Yuan is among the first people Tong Guan wanted.

Li Cun considered that although Wang Yuan's level was higher than that of many generals, after all, he was too corrupt in the later stage, so he was still not a top-notch talent. The key was that Wang Yuan was really unwilling to use it for himself.

So Li Cun returned Wang Yuan to Tong Guan.

This time, it was Wang Yuan and Yang Keshi, the deputy capital commander and commander of the West Road Front Army, who led the Song Army's vanguard army to advance to the Liao territory.

——Yang Keshi is the main general, and Wang Yuan is the deputy general.

Tong Guan's order to the Song Army was not to cross the Baigou River, that is, it was just a large army pressing down on the border, to scare those who frightened the Beiliao people immediately.

But Yang Keshi, Wang Yuan and others didn't know whether they were eager to make contributions, or they believed what He Shen said. The Yan people had long hoped for Master Wang to rescue them, but they disobeyed Tong Guan's order and led thousands of horse troops across Baigou The river entered the territory of Liao.

When Yang Keshi was passing by Langoudian, suddenly thousands of arrows were fired from the pine forests on both sides, and the overwhelming arrows fell like raindrops.

The unsuspecting Song army was immediately caught off guard by the Liao army who had been ambushing all night, and became a mess.

Langoudian used to be a river, but now it has dried up and become a north-south road with long slopes on both sides.

In other words, this road is narrow and congested, which made the Song army have nowhere to escape when it was attacked.

In this way, out of the instinct to survive, these Song soldiers and horses could only scurry around and trample on each other.

Yelu Dashi found the right time, and when the Song army was in chaos, he led [-] Liao cavalry from the pine forest and rushed into Langoudian like a tiger descending a mountain.

The two sides fought a bloody battle in Langoudian for nearly an hour.

The Liao people hated the Jin people for subjugating their country, and even more hated the Song people taking advantage of the fire to loot. Therefore, under the leadership of Yelu Dashi, the Liao army fought bravely with the soldiers of the Song army without fear of death.

However, although the Song army had the numerical advantage, it became chaotic because of the surprise attack by the Liao army, and was trapped by the terrain. It could not use its hands and feet at all. enemy.

Under the ebb and flow, how can the Song army be undefeated?

In the end, Yang Keshi led hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, opened a bloody road, and fled back to the Song Dynasty. The Liao army won the battle at the cost of more than 1000 casualties...

At the same time, Ma Kuo was fighting with the people of Beiliao in Yanjing.

People in the Northern Liao Dynasty believed that their emperor, Yelu Yanxi, was fatuous and immoral. It's normal for the subjects of the country to support Yeluchun as emperor, so what's the matter with the Zhao and Song Dynasties?

The people of Northern Liao took out the Tanyuan Alliance again, saying that the Zhao and Song Dynasty should remember that the two countries have been peaceful for hundreds of years, and lent troops to the Liao Kingdom to jointly resist the invasion of the Jin people. This is the demeanor of a big country, not like Now it's like taking advantage of the fire.

Ma Kuo bit his tongue. The ally of the Zhao and Song Dynasty was Yelu Yanxi, the real emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Yanxi was still alive, so Yeluchun became self-reliant as a courtier, and he also deposed Yelu Yanxi as the king of Xiangyin. It violates the avenue of monarch and minister.

Ma Kuo also said that if Yeluchun did not stand on his own, but directly asked the Zhao Song Dynasty for help, the Zhao Song Dynasty could not help him, and now he could only send troops to seek justice for Yelu Yanxi.

Afterwards, Ma Kuo showed up again. I, the Song Dynasty, had hundreds of thousands of troops pressing down on the border. I could have directly wiped out your Beiliao. It was only because of the Tanyuan alliance that I came to discuss with you. Beiliao is not as good as first. Say hello to the Great Song Dynasty, and give me an excuse to send troops to help the Northern Liao Dynasty resist the invasion of the Jin Kingdom...

It must be said that Ma Kuo's negotiating strategy is correct.

Hmm... In fact, this is not a strategy. It is to use military force to suppress the dying Beiliao and bow his head.

Facing the Zhao Song Dynasty, which had an absolute superiority in military strength, the people of Beiliao who had nowhere to go, were forced to retreat by Ma Kuo's words, and began to close their doors to discuss the matter of claiming Fan Nabiao to the Zhao Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, the strategy of the Zhao Song Dynasty, to be precise, is Zhao Ji's strategy, and it cannot be said to be useless.

However, Zhao Ji may have lacked luck because he was too fatuous, while the Zhao Song Dynasty may have lacked national luck because it was about to come to an end.

Because just when Ma Kuo was about to persuade the people of the Northern Liao Dynasty, to be precise, he was about to persuade the emperor Yeluchun of the Northern Liao Dynasty, Yang Keshi suffered a defeat.

With such a result, the people of Beiliao, who were already prepared to compromise, suddenly became stunned. They found Ma Kuo and said, "You boasted about your soldiers, but you were vulnerable. Yesterday, I went to Dashilinya 2000 troops have defeated you, Yang Keshi, and thousands of troops have been defeated in Langoudian, what do you have to say?"

Ma Kuo blamed Yang Keshi in his heart: "How could Mr. Yang be defeated at this critical moment?"

But on the surface, Ma Kuo still looked as usual. He said coldly: "I have lost thousands of people in the war, but I still have hundreds of thousands of troops. I have been familiar with military books and historical strategies since I was a child, but I have never heard of it, and the victory or defeat in one battle can determine the fate of two great powers."

When the people from Beiliao heard this, they had nothing to say...

……

Just when Yang Keshi was defeated, Wu Lin was cleaning the battlefield.

Seeing the less than five hundred Dan family thieves tremblingly being tied up by the soldiers of the Huben army, Wu Lin fondled a small cannon that looked like a tiger squatting.

The cannon is two feet long from the beginning to the end, with seven iron hoops added to the whole body. The cannon head is supported by two iron claws, and there are iron trippers. The total weight is thirty catties.It looks like a tiger and a tiger, and it is truly majestic.Before firing, the gun body must be fixed on the ground with big iron nails. Each shot can be loaded with 30 pieces of small lead or pebbles weighing five cents, and a large lead bullet or stone bullet weighing [-] taels is used to press the top. When bullets of all sizes fly out together, the sound is like thunder, and the lethality and radiation range are very large, which is especially suitable for field battles.

This is one of the new weapons of the Huben Army - the Huzun Cannon.

Last night, when the battle with the Danjia thieves was in full swing, the Danjia thieves kept charging at the rear guards in a dense combat formation, trying to concentrate and break out of the siege to escape.

But every time the rear guards used the tiger guns to effectively suppress their crazy offensive.

In Wu Lin's view, the Tiger Cannon, which does not challenge the combat terrain and is flexible, can be called an artifact on the battlefield.

Compared with Huzun Pao, the heartless Pao, which was blown into a magic weapon by Song Jun, is simply rubbish.

Of course, it cannot be said that unconscionable cannons are useless at all. It is still useful to use unconscionable cannons to blow up the enemy's fortifications or fight a dozen super-large battles to defeat them.

But then again, how many times can there be a total of 10,000+ or ​​10 people participating in such a war?Real battles are often small battles involving hundreds or thousands of people. Battles like this one involving tens of thousands of people are actually very few.

Taking environmental factors, combat conditions and other objective factors into consideration, unconscionable guns are almost useless.

And this tiger gun is suitable for fighting in mountains, forests, paddy fields, etc., which hinder the mobility of unconscionable guns.

Wu Lin felt that the governor who "invented" the Huzun Cannon was a well-deserved god of war, and his understanding of combat was absolutely at its peak.

No wonder the governor was able to lay down six roads in less than two years, no, it was the land of seven roads.

Wu Lin is really more and more in awe of the governor.

However, what Wu Lin fears most about the Metropolitan Governor is not the Metropolitan Governor's invincibility, but the Metropolitan Governor's knowledge of people.

Back then, when the governor first saw the two brothers in the new barracks of the Huben Army, he said in public: "Zhao Song asked the general to be a small school, and there is a reason why he will not perish."

If the governor just talked casually, Wu Lin would definitely sneer, thinking that the governor is another hypocritical person who can only casually throw away obedient words, just like those high-ranking officials and generals in the Zhao and Song Dynasties who once said they appreciated their brothers.

But the governor is really not just talking.

As soon as the two brothers walked out of the new barracks, the governor arranged for the two of them to be in charge, each of them controlling ten thousand people, and what he never expected was that the governor also made him a rear guard rule!
Where is the personal guard of the governor?
That is the cradle of the generals and supervisors of the Huben Army.

And the head of the personal guard of the governor is a position that all the soldiers of the Huben Army dream of.

To know:
The first personal guard leaders of the Metropolitan Governor were Kong Zhong and Zhang Gou.

The former is now the capital of the Nanfu army.

The latter is now the deputy capital commander of the Xifu Army.

The second head of the personal guard of the Metropolitan Governor was Yan Xiaoguang and Cao Cheng.

The former is now in command of the capital of the Dongfu Army.

The latter is now the deputy capital commander of the Dongfu Army.

Those who have been the heads of the personal guards of the Metropolitan Governor are all big men who would shake the ground when the military stomped their feet.

Now, he and Wang Sheng became the third head of the personal guard of the governor.

Needless to say, as long as the opportunity is right, he and Wang Sheng will definitely become the real bosses of the military in the future.

Let's talk about his brother Wu Jie.

Although his elder brother Wu Jie did not become the personal guard of the Metropolitan Governor, he also joined the Habayashi Army of the Metropolitan Governor's pro-army as the commander.

And that's not the point.

The point is that the governor now asked his elder brother Wu Jie to be responsible for formulating the combat plan and pre-arrangement for the national war with Annan and Champa, and the governor did not even give a single instruction.

This undoubtedly gave his brother Wu Jie the greatest power.

More importantly, since the governor did not intervene in anything in the early stage, it is very likely that the governor will not intervene in the later stage due to the sageness of the governor. In this way, even if it was not his brother Wu Jie who commanded the national war, his brother Wu Jie It must also hold an extremely important position.

From a small school in the Western Army, he became a general who participated in the national war.

This is the real trust in their brothers, and the real Bole of their brothers.

Faced with such trust, what reason do their brothers not serve for the governor?

After finding out all the Dan family thieves hiding in the corpses, Wu Lin went to report the victory to the governor.

As soon as Wu Lin entered the hall, he saw Tong Shu, Tong Ji and a large number of civil and military officials of the Huben army, all sitting in the hall dozing off, some of them didn't sleep at all, their eyes were red from boiling.

Wu Lin came to the familiar Tong Ji and asked, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you go to sleep?"

Tong Ji let out a big breath, and then said: "There is a lot of gunfire outside, and there are thousands or even tens of thousands of water thieves attacking here. How many of them can sleep?"

As soon as Tong Ji finished speaking, Li Cun came out of the room refreshed.

Behind Li Cun, in addition to following Liang Hongyu and Yan Zhengu as usual, there was also a woman in her twenties with sword eyebrows, star eyes and exquisite facial features.

Undoubtedly, this woman is Shi Honggu, the head of the Dan family thieves.

Shi Honggu's appearance wasn't that stunning, at least she couldn't compare with Annie, but she could be regarded as above-average talent.

——The main reason why many people give Shi Honggu this evaluation is because Shi Honggu's skin is a little dark.

And if you let Li Cun say it, this is actually the healthiest wheat color, high-end goods, a bunch of rustic old hats, who don't understand anything.

Those who are brave enough to look carefully, see that Aunt Shi Hong's eyes are red and swollen, obviously she has cried.

These people couldn't help admiring the Metropolitan Governor, and the famous and vicious Dan family thief, Honggu, the head of the family, was actually cried by the Metropolitan Governor.

Great!

admire!

Seeing that Tong Shu and the others seemed to have been up all night, Li Cun asked the same question as Wu Lin: "Why don't you sleep?"

Tong Shu smiled wryly: "There has been fighting outside, how dare the ministers dare to sleep peacefully, but the governor, I really admire the ministers, the fierce battle outside is going on, and the rest of the governor can not be disturbed."

Tong Shu and others added another sentence in their hearts: "To be able to sleep with the Dan family thief Da Dang Hong Gu in his arms, Da Du Du's heart is so big."

Li Cun said with a smile: "I have General Wu Lin, why can't I sleep peacefully?"

Li Cun is not flattering Wu Lin, nor is he trying to win Wu Lin's heart, but Li Cun really thinks Wu Lin is so reliable.

It can even be said that, in Li Cun's view, in terms of offensive ability, among Song generals, the only one who can barely compare with Yue Fei may be Wu Lin, and even Liu Qi is slightly inferior.

As for Wu Jie, who seems to have higher military achievements and more brilliant records, Li Cunyue does not deny that he is also an extremely outstanding commander, but most of the battles he fought were defensive counterattacks, whether it was the great victory of the monk Yuan, or the immortal pass. Regardless of the battle, although all the Jinren were killed and half of the country in the Southern Song Dynasty was preserved, there is one thing to say, after all, he had the advantage of the geographical advantage, and he did not highlight his ability in field battles.

On the other hand, Yue Fei and Wu Lin really won field battles with the world's first-class and powerful Jin Army.

What Li Cun thinks, how can others know, but because of Li Cun's unadulterated trust in Wu Lin, others will know that Wu Lin will definitely make a fortune, and Wu Lin needless to say, He will definitely be more devoted to Li Cun and even devote himself to death.

Wu Lin stepped forward and reported respectfully: "Governor, I have wiped out all the water thieves who came last night. Except for the three of 420 who were captured alive, the rest were all put to death."

After hearing Wu Lin's report, Shi Honggu's wheat-colored face immediately turned pale.

Li Cun said with a smile: "Go, have a look."

Li Cun came outside with his civil and military officials, and then saw the Danjia thieves kneeling on the ground densely, and Xu Dadao was among them.

——Shi Honggu's female guards are definitely not included in this list. Women can only be regarded as trophies of the Huben army forever, and they are good things that will not be easily killed.

Li Cun glanced at it casually, then patted Shi Honggu's buttocks, and asked her to go forward and choose the twenty Dan family thieves that he promised to pardon last night.

Li Cun reminded Aunt Shi Hong with a smile on his face: "Don't pick someone who is not suitable, otherwise, even if you pick someone, I will order him to be executed, and let you waste a quota for nothing."

Aunt Shi Hong's heart was twisted like a knife.

Aunt Shi Hong knew that the Dan family thieves were finished, completely finished.

It's not that Aunt Shi Hong didn't work hard, she really did everything she could do, but in the end she only managed to get back twenty surviving places.

Shi Honggu glanced at Li Cun secretly, and said to herself: "Others fear me like a devil, but he is the devil. I am nothing more than a fish and a plaything in his eyes. If I want to catch a thief, I will catch the king first. I am asking for my own death." Yea!"

At this time, Li Cun's impatient voice sounded from behind Shi Honggu: "You are already my concubine, and you are useless in this life, or you will all be killed, lest you get lucky."

Aunt Shi Hong hurriedly said: "The chief governor is the king, you are not joking, the chief governor promised to release the concubine's twenty relatives, you can't say nothing, the concubine chooses here, chooses here!"

Shi Honggu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and didn't dare to look at the begging eyes of those Danjia thieves she was familiar with, so she hurriedly selected people according to the list that she had already weighed.

The people Shi Honggu chose were almost all her relatives or relatives, and Xu Dadao was obviously not among them.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged down to be executed, Xu Dadao shouted loudly: "Commander, the villain knows all the dens of the Dan family thieves, and is willing to lead the way for the Commander to get those gold and silver treasures."

Li Cun was unmoved, because Aunt Shi Hong had already agreed to hand over the accumulation of several generations of Dan family thieves last night, so Li Cun agreed to let her ten relatives go. As for how Aunt Shi Hong got the other ten places, hehe... go to the bedroom Things should not be humane to outsiders.

Seeing that Li Cun didn't look back, Xu Dadao knew that Aunt Shi Hong must have agreed to this matter.

Xu Dadao's thoughts changed, and then he shouted again: "One of the people Shi Honggu saved was Zheng Long's adopted son Zheng Bao. This son is ambitious and wants to find his adoptive mother."

"?"

Li Cun turned around and asked Xu Dadao, "Who is Zheng Bao?"

Xu Dadao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The person on the left side of the head of Shi Da is."

Li Cun looked to Shi Honggu's left side, and saw that Zheng Bao was a half-sized boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Li Cun smiled and said, "You look good."

Then, without waiting for Zheng Bao to say something, Li Cun said with an unchanged smile: "Kill it."

Wu Lin heard the words, without even hesitating, he drew out his long knife and stabbed Zheng Bao to death.

Could it be that Xu Dadao framed Zheng Bao in order to survive.

There is such a possibility.

But so what?
To be honest, that is, Li Cun was thinking about the Dan family thieves that must have accumulated a lot of money, and he was thinking of leaving a few relatives for Shi Honggu, otherwise the twenty Dan family thieves Li Cun would not let them go.

Don't forget, these guys are all pirates, none of them are innocent.

Furthermore, they came here yesterday to catch or kill Li Cunlai, and Li Cunlai should be punished for killing them.

What's more, Li Cun once issued a strict order that unless they were pirates who had made meritorious service, they would all be executed.

You are not joking, it is not just talking.

Shi Honggu looked at Li Cun with tears in her eyes, as if she was saying: "You promised me to choose 20 people, besides, you know that I have no relationship with Zheng Bao."

Li Cun didn't say that I don't have the habit of raising sons for the enemy, but said with a smile: "Xu Dadao is a good guy, I'll help you choose one."

After hearing Li Cun's words, Xu Dadao, who had been dragged far away, was dragged back immediately.

Seeing this, other Dan family thieves followed Xu Dadao's example and framed the people saved by Aunt Shi Hong, hoping to win a place for themselves to live.

But this time, Li Cun didn't listen.

When Xu Dadao came to Li Cun, he knelt down to Li Cun at once, and then kowtowed desperately, saying: "The Dan family thieves have 27 places where treasures are hidden, and the villain is the person in charge of the property among the Dan family thieves. We all know the detailed numbers and detailed places, including Zheng Long's secret treasures and Shi Dadang's secret treasures. The villain is willing to take all the 27 treasures out of the place, and I just ask the governor to release my two sons. way of life."

Fearing that Li Cun would not agree, Xu Dadao kowtowed and added: "The villain's two sons are both in the old nest on Lantau Island, and they are not included. They do not violate the order of the governor."

After hearing this, Li Cun looked at Aunt Shi Hong with a half-smile: "Place 27, tsk tsk~"

But Shi Honggu bit her lower lip lightly, and said nothing, she regretted not saving Xu Dadao, the veteran of the Three Dynasties who had been in charge of the Dan family's property for nearly 20 years.

But Aunt Shi Hong really had no choice, she had to save Xu Dadao instead of saving her own family, right?
Li Cun looked at Xu Dadao: "Take my personal guards to take out these 27 properties. Your family members will forgive you, and there will be a reward."

Xu Dadao was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: "No!"

Afterwards, Li Cun grabbed Aunt Shi Hong's arm, dragged her to Xu's residence, and said in a low voice, "In a moment, explain to me carefully what you are going to do with those eighteen treasure places you rarely talked about. "
