After saying this for a full hour, Gong Fu explained all the pros and cons, and Ye Chang finally made up his mind: "Okay, you will rest in my camp for now, and I will release you back to the Khitan army tomorrow. If you can persuade The tribes attached to the Khitan rebelled against each other. In this battle of Liaodong, I will remember you for your first contribution, and I will report to the court to protect your wealth." "Yes, Sima, it is true that he has seen thousands of miles." Gong Fu clapped his thigh excitedly: "Please rest assured, Sima. Just wait for my good news." "Then it's settled." Ye Chang didn't hesitate: "You go down and rest first." Qian Mou Ding took Gong Fu out, and Zhang Hao came over angrily when he saw him. The two of them shouted: "Sure enough, Linu is treacherous and wants to take advantage of my absence to deceive Sima." Mouding seemed to be afraid of him, lowering his head and saying nothing, but Gongfu laughed and said: "There is no enemy for corrupt scholars." As a plan, he devoted himself to blocking the path of virtue and did not want others to make meritorious deeds. I am ashamed and do not want you to meet each other." After saying this, he walked away with a flutter of sleeves, and Qian Mouding followed him. After walking for a long time, he heard Zhang Hao behind him. Yelling, obviously, he was shocked by Gong Fu's words just now. After returning to his residence, Qian Mou Ding praised: "Senior brother is so eloquent that he can make that guy angry with just one sentence." "Just don't blame me for offending your colleagues." "What colleagues, they usually treat me like a slave, I just don't I'm just willing to argue with him." Qian Mouding said, "However, he found out that we were looking for Ye Sima at night, and he was afraid that he would slander him in front of Ye Sima again." Gong Fu thought about it, and said, "Go and inquire. Let¡¯s see if Ye Sima is persuaded by him.¡± He was still very polite to Qian Mouding at first, but at this moment, he started to speak in a bossy tone. Qian Mou Ding laughed it off, went out and pretended to inquire. After a while, he came back and said: "Senior brother, that guy and Ye Sima broke up on bad terms. Yes Sima heard your words about 'blocking the virtuous road and not wanting others to make meritorious deeds.'" Gong Fu Laughed loudly. He felt that this trip to the Tang camp was fruitful. He not only found out the true and false status of the Tang army, made friends with Mou Ding, but also alienated the relationship between Ye Chang and his advisers and staff. The most important thing was to seduce Ye Chang. I believe that he has the ability to make the tribes that depend on Khitan turn against him. Therefore, when he left this morning, he was very satisfied and returned to the Khitan camp in high spirits. The Khitan leaders, who originally thought that he was bound to die, all looked at him with big eyes and small eyes. Seeing him proudly showing off in front of them, some people couldn't help but said: "Could it be that you betrayed our army's secrets? This cost a dog's life?" "Nonsense, my loyalty to Di Liehan can be judged by the sun and the moon, how can you imagine?" "Then did you meet that Ye Chang in the Tang Army camp and talk to him again? What did you say? " Dilie was also very curious, but he didn't speak when his subordinates pressed him. Unexpectedly, Gong Fu sneered: "This matter is extremely confidential. I can only tell Dilie Khanhow can you hear it?" Everyone immediately started to curse, but Gong Fu regarded it as a boast to himself. Di Lie laughed loudly and waved his hand: "You guys step back first and let me listen to what news he brought." After the Khitan leaders retreated, Gong Fu told the story of the journey through Yuanyuan. When he learned that Datang would march to Liaodong with 50,000 troops, Di Lie was frightened, but he also heard Gong Fu's plan for a quick battle. He pondered for a while: "Is this matteris there any truth?" "Absolutely not. "It's not the slightest bit false. I've heard it with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes." "If that's true No, we have to test it again. You go again tomorrow. If there are no flaws, we will make an appointment with him. We will fight in four days. "Below the Jian'an Prefecture City" "Yes" Gongfu went to the Tang camp again, and made some rhetoric, agreeing that all the ministries would defect during the battle under the Jian'an Prefecture City. After he brought back the accurate letter, Di Lie was still worried and sent out reconnaissance cavalry to check. He was overjoyed when he found that the Tang army had indeed broken camp and advanced. "This battle is bound to be won." He smiled and said to Gong Fu: "The rebel army that Ye Chang had been waiting for turned against him. I don't know what his expression will be like when the time comes." "After defeating him, capture others and order them to He just put on a show for the Khan.¡± After laughing, Di Lie ordered: ¡°Go down and give us food and wine to prepare for the war.¡± This is the habit of the Khitan people. They don¡¯t have a rule against drinking in the army. Before a war, they eat. Only when you are full and drunk can you fight well. However, because there was going to be a big war the next day, the Khitan did not surround Ancheng that day, but instead withdrew their troops and returned to camp to rest early. At midnight, a group of black shadows quietly approached the Khitan camp. Because of preparations for the coming war, the Khitan's defenses were much more relaxed that night than usual. Moreover, it is impossible for a large camp of 60,000 people to gather in one place. It is a mixture of different tribes. This group of black shadows dispersed among them, and no one even asked. The group of black shadows scattered in all directions, and after a moment, fires were seen in all directions. When the sleeping Khitan army troops were awakened, they saw flames rising into the sky and human figures everywhere, and they were everywhere.Everyone was shouting "Enemy attack". Everyone immediately realized this, but the more they wanted to understand the reason, the more confused they became. In the darkness, although there was firelight, it was impossible to see clearly who was who. What's more, the Khitan's 60,000-strong coalition was simply a mob, and many of them were old, young, women and children who followed the nomads. They were panicked and confused. He got up and led his own tribe into chaos, and then the entire coalition army was in chaos. More and more fires were lit, and chaos spread from one camp to another. Even in the camps where no one had sneaked into, camp roars also occurred. Those who woke up from their snoring dreams instinctively used knives to kill. Anyone who was close to him, Gong Fu, was also awakened. He stood up in his clothes, looked at the flames around him and knew something was wrong, so he rushed towards the Chinese army camp. On the way, I saw the Khitan people themselves being massacred by the roar of the camp, and I was even more frightened. Finally, I arrived outside Di Lie's camp and saw Di Lie whipping several dizzy Khitan people with a whip. ¡°Great Khan, things are not going well we we have fallen into a trap,¡± Gong Fu said in a trembling voice. Di Lie glared at him bitterly. How could he not understand now that his side had been tricked? The Tang people clearly had no intention of fighting again tomorrow. They had planned a night attack from the beginning, and Gong Fu was running around, seemingly spying. The Tang army's falsehood was revealed, but it was actually used by the Tang people to cover up their true intentions. This was a plan, and both sides were competing for wits, but the Tang people had a better move. However, Di Lie was a man of means. Although he hated that his plan failed and was used by the enemy, he did not blame him deeply. Instead, he shouted to the bodyguards around him: "Quickly gather your men and let's go." In this situation, It's a fool's errand to turn the tide, and Di Lie doesn't know the true number of the Tang army at all. If the Tang people take the opportunity to get in front of him and kill him, it will really be all over. He grabbed his horse and fled, with only a few hundred personal guards with him. He fled far away. Looking back at the camp, he saw only fire everywhere. Cries and screams were faintly heard, and Di Lie sighed: "Tang people" "The current plan is to gather the defeated troops first and return to Anshi Prefecture. We still have some troops in Anshi Prefecture. In addition, this time Most of the gains from the Southern Expedition are in Anshi Prefecture. As long as we gather the troops and bring this wealth, we will still have a great victory when we return to Gaimou Prefecture." Gong Fu said in a trembling voice: "If the Tang Dynasty really has reinforcements, we will win. We will ask for surrender when the reinforcements arrive Anyway, what the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty likes most is face. As long as we give him some face, we can still recuperate in northern Liaoning. " Dilie has nothing to do at this time. After this battle. , Those dependent ministries will obviously scatter. If they only rely on his own headquarters, not to mention that they may not be able to gather them, there are only less than 20,000 people gathered. It is impossible to attack the south. If you want to make peace, just ask for peace. Anyway, the Khitan is not thinking about fighting against the Central Plains Dynasty at this time, so it is not a shameful thing to ask for peace. With this retreat, he retreated more than fifty miles, and then spread out his men, not to mention gathering the defeated troops. In Jian'an Prefecture City, they were awakened by the sound of fighting and fire outside. After hearing the news, the city lord Gao Ji hurriedly went to the top of the city and looked down from the wall. He saw the Khitan camp five or six miles away. They were all dots of firelight, and in this silent night, the screams and cries were particularly harsh. "This isthe reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty have arrived." Gao Ji was so excited that his hands were trembling. "Are reinforcements really coming?" Although the Khitans have not yet launched an all-out attack on the city in the past few days, the pressure on Jian'an Prefecture City has become unbearable for the soldiers in the city. They were waiting hard for the legendary reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, but only seven or eight days ago, a Goguryeo native called Mouding, who claimed to be the messenger of reinforcements, arrived, and there was no news since then. In Jian'an Prefecture, some people were actually secretly thinking about surrendering the city, but they never thought that on such a night, the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty would appear in such a way that they did not expect. "Kaicheng, let's fight out together," Gao Ji ordered. "Wait a minute, Governor, you must not do it." The counselor beside him was shocked and came up to advise: "What if the Khitans lure me to open the city? And they are not Khitans. They go out in vain. How should we identify when we collided with the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty? " "Yes, yes, you are right." Gao Ji was so excited that he forgot about this incident. He looked at the Khitan camp for a while and thought. He thought uneasy: "But we are waiting on the city wall to watch the battle between the Tang Heavenly Army and the Khitan people. I am afraid that the Tang Heavenly Army will blame us after the victory" "The governor can prepare wine and food, and when the Tang Heavenly Army wins, he will go out of the city to reward him. In addition, prepare more Wealth Of course, we must also be prepared to receive it," the counselor said again. Although everyone is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, if there is an emergency, they may have to go out of the city to support the Tang Army so that the Tang Army can rest in the city. ¡°Okay, recruit me five hundred warriors and prepare to support me at the city gate. In addition, we will ask the rich people in the city to provide some food, wine, food and property. If the Khitans attack,After entering the city, they have nothing. The Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty is fighting for them. "Everything has been arranged properly. The supporting personnel have also left the city and formed an array in the city. Gao Ji is looking up from the top of the city, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army. But when the east turned white and the fighting outside became silent, he gradually became disappointed. Could it be that the Tang army was defeated by the Khitans and failed to break the camp just now? The lively scene was just a show put on by the Khitans to lure them out of the city. "What should I do?" "He looked at his counselor again. "Send warriors to investigate. "The counselor could only say this. "The so-called warriors were naturally recruited with heavy rewards. They rode fast horses towards the Khitan camp. Gao Ji was still at home at the top of the city. After a while, they saw these warriors running away again. Come back. "What's wrong? How's the battle going? " "Dead people, dead people all over the place" the warriors' faces turned pale. "What's all the fuss about? There haven't been many dead people in the city these days? "Gao Ji was very dissatisfied: "Let's make it clear." "Prince, it's not us who are making a fuss, but there are too many dead people. They are all over the ground, and the blood has accumulated into puddles." Hearing this, Gao Ji was heartbroken. He jumped suddenly: "Can you tell whether they are Tang people or Khitan people? " "It's not a Tang Dynasty person. I didn't see any Tang Dynasty corpses. " If they are not from the Tang Dynasty, it proves that at least the losses suffered by the Tang Dynasty people were not great. Gao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "You only saw dead people, not living people? " "This" It turned out that they were frightened when they saw the dead people everywhere, and ran straight back. Gao Ji was furious, scolded them, and sent them back. This time they finally brought back the living people, and they returned At that time, there were five or six Tang soldiers with bloody uniforms around them. They arrived at the city and looked up: "But Gao Gong, the assassin of Jian'an Prefecture?" "Exactly, are you warriors under Yesima's tent?" "Yes, our troops have defeated the Khitan coalition forces, and my Sima has been pursuing them all night. Let us come to find Gao Gong at dawn and borrow some men from Gao Gong." " "Easy to say, easy to say, the Khitan has really been defeated? " "It's a big defeat. I just took a count and found that more than 6,000 people were killed last night. Gao Gong can rest easy. " Hearing this, Gao Ji was overjoyed. He thanked the Buddha, and then became energetic: "Since the Khitan has been defeated, I will give Yes Sima a helping hand - come, open the city, gather the troops, and go out to fight the thieves." Although his heart was towards the Tang Dynasty, he was even more interested in himself. The Khitans went south this time and destroyed the Liaodong states, plundering countless goods. Although most of them were stored in Anshi Prefecture, the gold and silver that were easy to carry There must be a lot of people around. At this time, it was time to grab the loot. He marched out of the city in a majestic manner, but the Tang soldiers ignored him and just talked and laughed quietly with him. Not long after leaving the city, he arrived on the battlefield. A strong smell of blood hit his nose, making Gao Ji almost vomit. Then he saw a scene that made him faint. The person who just inquired about the news said that it was everywhere. The corpses were not detailed enough. Strictly speaking, they were naked corpses everywhere. Some Tang soldiers were digging pits to bury the naked corpses. Even so, Gao Ji still saw mountains of corpses.
