The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 62

Three days later, Yinzhou City.

Since the day when Zhao Guangyi decreed to move away the nobles of the Tuoba tribe, the tall city gates of Yinzhou have been surrounded by Song Dynasty officers and soldiers. Open wide, defending against all possible enemies.

Wan Jianfeng held a small jar of wine in his hand, drank it as he walked, and staggered all the way towards the gate of the city.Seeing this, the guard at the gate hurriedly shouted: "Where is the drunkard coming from? Hurry up and stop! General Cao, the inspector of the five prefectures, ordered that Yinzhou is allowed to leave and not enter. If you don't want to disobey the military order, stop quickly!"

Wan Jianfeng glanced at the guard at the door, then pointed to his nose and asked, "You know who I am, so you dare to let me stop? If you make me unhappy, be careful that my nephew will chop off your heads!" "

The guards were startled for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you stinking beggar, how dare you scare the court officers and soldiers? But tell me, who is your nephew, why would he dare to kill the military master?"

Wan Jianfeng curled his lips, and said nonchalantly: "Who is my nephew? Speaking out scares you to death! He is a majestic son of a general, a court official in the Song Dynasty, and Cao Guang, who is now an official on tour to the five prefectures!"

"What!" All the guards couldn't laugh when they heard the words, and hurriedly restrained their expressions.The leading officer and soldier said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your words are unsubstantiated, I will report to General Cao, if it is true, it's fine, if you are deceiving, be careful of your dog's head!" After he finished speaking, he turned and entered Yinzhou, blinking his eyes disappeared in the city.

Soon, Cao Guangshi hurried towards the gate of the city with a few personal soldiers.He frowned slightly, and his face was full of confusion. When he saw Wan Jianfeng, his nose was almost crooked.He pointed at Wan Jianfeng and said angrily: "This general is over half a hundred years old, what are you, dare to call yourself my uncle!"

Wan Jianfeng sighed helplessly, and pointed at the guard who claimed to be the military master, "Oh, it's really not easy to see you. Your grand uncle won't let me in, if it wasn't for my smartness, I'm afraid you're still hiding in your den and won't come out!"

Cao Guangshi held the long sword under his ribs, glared at Wan Jianfeng, and said, "Why are you looking for this general? You don't come here to fight for Li Jiqian, do you?"

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to join General Cao."

Cao Guangshi laughed loudly after hearing his words, and said, "Don't play tricks in front of this general. This general understands that you are here to feign surrender, right? It's okay to fool a three-year-old naughty boy with your little tricks, but it's okay. Dare to use it to deceive the general?"

"False surrender?" Wan Jianfeng laughed and said, "General Cao, I don't know who you learned your Chinese from? It's a bit difficult to chat with you! You open your mouth, the living can be pissed off by you, and the dead can be pissed off by you." I’m so angry! This young man was just dating Li Jiqian and doing him a little favor. When did he say he would submit to him? I’m not his subordinate, so joining the Song army is just a defection. Why did I surrender? Where did the false surrender come from?"

Cao Guangshi was even more confused by Wan Jianfeng's words, and he couldn't understand what Wan Jianfeng was talking about after struggling for a long time.He thought for a long time before saying to Wan Jianfeng: "In this case, follow the general into the city. But when you arrive at the general's mansion, you must explain the ins and outs in detail, revealing one place, be careful I want your head!"

Wan Jianfeng nodded, followed Cao Guangshi into Yinzhou City swaggeringly with his hands behind his back, as if he was not here to feign surrender, but to inspect on behalf of the emperor.Cao Guangshi saw it in his eyes and was angry in his heart.It was not good to have an attack immediately, so he had to take him into his mansion.

The two sat down in Cao's mansion. Cao Guangshi was about to interrogate him further, but Wan Jianfeng pointed to the round table in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "General Cao, this young hero has come to join you sincerely. You even have good wine and good food." Won't you treat me to a meal?"

Cao Guangshi has never seen someone as thick-skinned as Wan Jianfeng, but he knows that Wan Jianfeng is not incompetent, and he has many merits.If you sincerely vote, it can be regarded as a big help for yourself.He had no choice but to suppress his anger again and again, and ordered loudly: "Come here, prepare a banquet for Wan Shaoxia!"

Not long after, the round table in front of Wan Jianfeng was filled with delicacies and several jars of authentic old Liangzhou wine.Wan Jianfeng smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed a leg of mutton, started to feast on it, then picked up a jug of wine, drank most of it in one go, and then put it on the table.

Then he patted Cao Guangshi on the shoulder with his big oily hand, raised his thumb and said, "General Cao, the cook in your house is really good. I haven't eaten such delicious mutton for a long time! And this jar of wine is also delicious. Rich, just in line with my young hero's appetite!"

Cao Guangshi's uniform was originally clean as new, but when Wan Jianfeng slapped him, it became oily and dirty immediately.Cao Guangshi's face was ashen, with a forced smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were like two knives, and he didn't know how many times he had cut Wan Jianfeng into pieces!

Wan Jianfeng didn't pay attention to his expression, he ate and drank on his own, and kept admiring every mouthful, what he did was very worthy of the filthy patchwork clothes he was wearing.

After a long time, Wan Jianfeng finally hiccupped, patted his belly and said, "I haven't had such a good meal in a long time! General Cao is so kind to me, so I will show you the way. If you become famous in the future, Don’t forget about this young hero!”

Cao Guangshi hurriedly asked: "Do you have any good methods to help this general destroy Li Jiqian, a traitor?"

Wan Jianfeng said: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to join General Cao at this time."

Cao Guangshi said impatiently: "Speak up, young man! If you can really kill Li Jiqian, I will ask the imperial court for your credit!"

Wan Jianfeng didn't answer, but asked instead: "General Cao is not from the local area, is he?"

Cao Guangshi nodded and said, "I'm from Shu, and I came here to be an official by order of the Holy Spirit."

Wan Jianfeng rolled his eyes and said with a smirk in his heart, "I didn't expect that I was really fooled. Since you are not a local, you must believe what kind of nonsense I make up." He thought about it and said: "It turns out that General Cao is not a local, so it's no wonder that he doesn't understand the customs of party members and can't think of a strategy to defeat the enemy."

Cao Guangshi was puzzled and said, "What custom? This general is all ears!"

Wan Jianfeng said: "Dangxiang people have an unwritten rule, that is, every time they win a battle, they must fast for five days to thank the gods for their protection. Every time they lose a battle, they must drink heavily for five days to relieve their grief with joy and inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. When I left Dijinze, Li Jiqian and the others were already drunk, if we launch a sneak attack now, it should be as the general wishes."

Cao Guangshi suddenly sneered and said: "Do you think this general will believe your nonsense? Don't you just want to lure this general to rob the camp, so you can intercept and kill this general on the way?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled disdainfully, "General Cao, there are two types of people I look down on the most in this world, one is people without brains, and the other is people without courage. I didn't expect General Cao to take up two roles with one person. It seems It's because this young hero has misjudged his eyes, there will be no future!"

As he spoke, he suddenly got up and was about to go out of the mansion. Cao Guangshi thought for a while and reached out his hand to stop him.He hurriedly said: "Wan Shaoxia wait a minute! This general believes you once, even if those incompetent rats really set up an ambush, what can I do with this general?"

Cao Guangshi turned around and walked towards Colonel Cheng's military field.After a while, he gathered 3000 troops, opened the gate of Yinzhou city overnight, and sneaked towards Dijinze.

At dusk the next day, the army marched to Jialu River.

The Jialu River is an endless plain, with a small river running through its hinterland. Except for a few forests not far away, there is no place to set up an ambush.At this moment the sun has set, the bright moon has not yet risen, and the twilight is low. Cao Guangshi galloped across the wasteland with a group of men and horses.

Cao Guangshi has been on the battlefield for a long time and has been a soldier all his life. He has an instinctive alertness to the surrounding environment.He seemed to have sensed something was wrong, he reined in the horse suddenly, the horse roared, and the man stood up, almost throwing Cao Guangshi off the horse.Seeing this, everyone quickly reined in their mounts, and the army stopped advancing immediately.

Wan Jianfeng followed Cao Guangshi on foot, and his speed was no slower than his horse. When he saw Cao Guangshi reining in his mount, he also stopped quickly.He looked at Cao Guangshi who was on the horse, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "General Cao, why did you stop? If we go late and the party members sober up, they will all run away!"

Cao Guangshi's face was gloomy, he waved his hand at Wan Jianfeng, and listened attentively.He doesn't have a good ear, but he has an extraordinary ability to distinguish sounds that has been cultivated in the battlefield for many years.After listening for a while, his face became more and more gloomy, his eyes glared at Wan Jianfeng, he drew out his long sword, and slashed at Wan Jianfeng's neck.

Wan Jianfeng withdrew quickly, and said displeasedly: "General Cao, I lured you to rob the camp with good intentions and let you make extraordinary achievements, but you want to kill me?"

Cao Guangshi smiled coldly, "Wan Jianfeng, you are indeed very smart, and you pretend to be pretty. It's a pity that you don't know the art of war, and you have never led a soldier. It's too young to plot against this general!"

Wan Jianfeng said innocently: "Hey, you treat yourself like a donkey with good intentions, turn your face and deny anyone! Even if you are afraid that I will steal your credit, you can't cross the river and tear down bridges to accuse good people, right?"

Cao Guangshi pointed at the forest and said, "Listen yourself, this forest is so quiet that you can't even hear the birds chirping. In such a forest, there is usually only one thing, and that is the ambushes of the brigade!"

As he spoke, he waved to the soldiers behind him, and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly kill this scum of the Han people!"

All the soldiers gathered around Wan Jianfeng according to his words, Wan Jianfeng stuck out his tongue in fright, and said in his heart, "Although I say my martial arts are a little higher, but I'm not a god. If I am surrounded by thousands of people at the same time, I will definitely die! Damn it!" Zhang Pu, if this young hero dies, I will be the first to seek your life!"

"Whoosh!" Lin Zhong suddenly shot a sharp arrow, which hit Cao Guangshi's right leg, causing him to roll from the saddle and fall off the horse in pain.Wan Jianfeng smiled, floated forward to bully him, pulled out his handsome stick from his waist and put it on Cao Guangshi's head, and said: "My surname is Cao, listen to this young hero, the two sides should stop fighting, isn't it good to just let it go and live in peace?" ?”

Cao Guangshi pointed at Wan Jianfeng and cursed: "Smelly beggar, you are a Han Chinese, but you are willing to be a running dog for the party. You are a fucking embarrassment to us Han people! You have the ability to beat me to death with a stick, don't be hypocritical here. Already!"

If it was normal, who dared to scold Wan Jianfeng, he would have scolded Wan Jianfeng back [-] sentences.But at this moment, he was inexplicably touched in his heart, his smile gradually subsided, and the handsome stick in his hand was involuntarily turned back to his waist, and he even stretched out his hand towards Cao Guangshi.

Cao Guangshi was slightly taken aback when he saw this, but he had no time to think about it. He got up from the ground with great effort, dragging a wounded leg that was bleeding continuously, and was about to get on the horse.At this time, Li Jiqian had already rode his horse. Seeing that Cao Guangshi was about to get on his horse and escape, he immediately shot another arrow in his left leg. Then he jumped off his horse, pulled out a big Xia dragon sparrow, and approached Cao Guangshi step by step.

At this moment, Li Jiqian's facial features have been distorted, and the knuckles holding the knife have turned white. If anger is compared to fire, then Li Jiqian's eyes are two erupting volcanoes.He and Cao Guangshi not only had a family feud, but also a family hatred. Whether it was for the dead mother, wife, or countless murdered subordinates, he had to kill Cao Guangshi.

Cao Guangshi's legs were continuously dripping with blood. He tried to stand up several times, but fell down again because of the severe leg injury.His soldiers were divided into two teams, and one team rushed towards Li Jiqian without fear, trying to save their coach.But more people were caught by Li Jiqian's aura and stood there with trembling legs.

Li Jiqian didn't pay attention to the Song Jun who was rushing towards him. With a wave of the Daxia Dragon Sparrow in his hand, a bloody light rose up. Before countless Song Jun could scream, their bodies fell to the ground.It was very difficult for Cao Guangshi to even stand up right now, but there was no fear on his face. His eyes were also full of anger when he stared at Li Jiqian, but there was an imperceptible layer of regret underneath the anger.

"Cao Guangshi! You have repeatedly harmed our party members. Today, I, Li Jiqian, will kill you to avenge the party members!" Li Jiqian said word by word. At this time, he had already walked in front of Cao Guangshi, holding the sword high in his hand.

Wan Jianfeng couldn't stand it any longer, walked up to Li Jiqian, and said, "Boss Li, Cao Guangshi did kill many party members before, but if you kill him today, what is the difference from his previous behavior? Why don't you just listen to this young man's advice, the two sides should stop here and never commit any offense, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Li Jiqian was startled, and then sneered, "Brother Wanxian, I sent you to feign surrender, but you really surrendered to the Song army? After my cousin moved to Bianliang by order, did the person surnamed Cao think about giving up? I After our mother and wife were forced to death by him, did the person surnamed Cao think about giving up? After we were defeated in Yinzhou, did the person surnamed Cao think about giving up? He drove us to a desperate situation step by step, how can we give up now! "

Wan Jianfeng held his stick in his chest, and was about to say a few more words, but Li Ruoyun arrived with his team.He pulled Wan Jianfeng aside and motioned him to get out of the way.Wan Jianfeng glared at Li Ruoyun, and said angrily, "Brother Li, what are you going to do? As Han Chinese, do you mean that Cao Guangshi, who is also Han Chinese, was killed by the party members?"

Li Ruoyun has never seen Wan Jianfeng so angry, and he subconsciously let go of his hand, "Brother Wanxian, the chief is kind to me, and I don't want to let him down. If you insist on protecting Cao Guangshi, I'm afraid you and I We can only turn against each other!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled coldly, "Brother Li, it seems that your brain is really not working. You have completely forgotten what I said before I left. People can forget anything, but they must not forget their ancestors! You are Han Chinese! Or the party members have forgotten, so why are you talking about betrayal! It would be best if the two sides stop talking and make peace, otherwise I would rather have another enemy like you for the sake of Da Song!"
