On the east bank of the Ling River, the scene of galloping cavalry looked like muddy water churning in a torrent. The dark shadows of the cavalry rose and fell in the dust, and it was difficult to tell who was who. Only a few large flags with the word "History" written on them were constantly changing directions, and the cavalrymen watched the flags and followed them to kill. "Bang bang" The terrifying strings trembled in the dust, and black whooshing shadows whizzed in the air. "Kill!" Shi Yanchao suddenly rushed out from the hazy dust and shot a knight off his horse. A Liao cavalry rushed forward in the blink of an eye, swung his sword towards Shi Yanchao's neck, and an exclamation came from behind: "Commander, be careful!" The sharp sword edge shone with cold light, and it was so close that Shi Yanchao almost felt it To the sweeping strong wind. "Bang!" Sparks flew in front of his eyes, the iron handle of the spear in his hand hit the edge of the sword, and the two riders passed by. The soldiers came from left and right, slapping their horses, and all of them turned pale with fright. Only Shi Yanchao remained calm and showed no intention of stopping. While flying, any missed move could be fatal. It was precisely moments like this that made Shi Yanchao excited! At this moment, Shi Yanchao saw the big flag in front of him, turned around and shouted: "The enemy chief is over there!" After shouting, he patted his horse and rushed forward. Immediately, countless cavalry surrounded them, with bows and arrows from both sides shooting, and their heads were like hailstones. A Liao general in the middle led his troops to fight with iron bone flowers. Shi Yanchao didn't care who he was, so he attacked him with his gun. Immediately, the two armies rushed to attack each other. Amidst the clanging sound of metal, screams broke out everywhere. Shi Yanchao stared at the general, and when the two cavalry approached, he suddenly swung his iron gun and swept across it. His movements were understated, but his power and speed were huge! Shi Yanchao has experienced hundreds of battles and has never encountered anyone who can block this move! "Huh!" Unexpectedly, the Liao general was very good at riding, and his body fell backwards flexibly on the horse. The iron gun almost grazed the man's face, and he shouted "Yo" from his mouth. In an instant, the war horse rushed forward. General Liao was lying on his back. He seized the opportunity and raised his iron bone to hit Shi Yanchao's waist. He used the charge of the war horse to score a strike! Suddenly Shi Yanchao stretched out his left arm, and with a "bang" sound, the arm guard hit the wooden handle of the iron bone flower. As the two horses passed each other, General Liao straightened up from his horse, moved to the flanks, and prepared to turn his horse's head. ¡°At this moment, Shi Yanchao saw a man wearing a white mink hat and beautiful armor lapping his horse to turn around. He was surrounded by a group of people protecting him. He must be an important person! Shi Yanchao only took one look and guessed that this person might be the King of Qi of Liao Kingdom! Shi Yanchao left behind the fighting brigade and rushed forward with his own soldiers nearby. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom had already started running north. They looked back at Shi Yanchao's approach and yelled a few words in Khitan dialect. With a "hoo" sound, Shi Yanchao threw the iron gun in his hand. The distance was too far, and when the iron spear fell, it hit the butt of the Liao noble's horse! The war horse neighed miserably, and knelt down with its hind hooves. The man on the horse fell down with a scream, and his mink hat fell off, revealing a bald head with gray hair on the temples. A group of people rushed up to protect them, but how could they stop Shi Yanchao and others? Shi Yanchao broke through the group of horses and saw that the man was still on the ground, and two Liao army warriors dismounted to rescue him. Shi Yanchao galloped forward on his horse, leaned over, and stabbed a man in the back with a sideways shot. He only heard a scream of "ah" and blood spattered Shi Yanchao's face. He let go of the gun handle, aimed at the panicked noble, and grabbed the noble's hair. "Ah" The Khitan noble who had just sat up was violently pulled and fell down, screaming like a pig being killed. Shi Yanchao felt his hand light up, and he saw a handful of hair in his hand, with a bloody scalp on it! "Hiss!" Shi Yanchao reined in the horse violently, raising its front hooves high. The surrounding Liao cavalry rushed up, and Shi Yanchao's own troops rode up to fight, fighting to the death. Shi Yanchao reined in his horse, turned around, and rushed to the noble again. Following Shi Yanchao's elite cavalry, he fought in a melee with the surrounding Liao cavalry. Shi Yanchao killed the two men and dismounted from his horse. He saw the noble on the ground with blood on his face, lying on the ground screaming in pain. With a single sword unsheathed, Shi Yanchao reached up and pressed the noble's head into the soil with one palm. The nobleman immediately turned his head, opened his bloody eyelids, and saw a fierce man staring at him, roaring: "Even a hundred thousand troops can't save you!" "Crack!" Several bloody arrows burst out. Shi Yanchao got on his horse with a bloody head in his hands. He looked around and realized that his troops were getting worse and worse and were trapped in a tight siege. Surrounded by soldiers who were fighting hard, their roars were filled with desperate fear. Shi Yanchao first glanced at the direction of Linghe River, and then looked south. What was surging in the dust were large swaths of Liao Army cavalry. But no matter what, he had to rush out from there and join the brigade. This is not the first time I have been surrounded! Shi Yanchao himself was not as worried as his officers and soldiers. At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud explosion in the army.?Shout and cheer. Shi Yanchao followed everyone's gaze and saw that the eastern hillside was covered with shining plate armor and fluttering red tassels! "General Dong's reinforcements are coming!" the general cheered. Dong Zunjie was blocked to the south by men and horses, but he found a way through Lu Mountain and responded from the right wing; otherwise, where did the cavalry all over the mountain come from? "Kill!" Shi Yanchao pointed his iron gun in the direction of Xu Jun on the hillside. He wasn't that stupid. Why didn't he cooperate when someone came to save him? ¡ ¡ ¡°Shi Yanchao is back!¡± There was a commotion outside the tent. Guo Shao put down his brush, stood up and walked out of the tent. He saw a group of blood-stained cavalry standing outside the central military camp. The burly Shi Yanchao got off his horse and strode over with a head in his hand. At this time, the civilian officials and some military generals from the former camp also came over to watch. Guo Shao stood there and looked at the head in Shi Yanchao's hand. Shi Yanchao came over, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general is ordered to kill the King of Qi of Liao Kingdom, Yan Sage!" Everyone was in an uproar and talked about it. Shi Yanchao couldn't hide his triumphant look on his bloody face, and held up the head and a tattered Liao army flag. Guo Shao waved his hand, and the eunuch Yang Shiliang stepped forward to protect the head with a military flag. Guo Shao went up and helped Shi Yanchao up with his own hands, and praised in public: "Shi Guogong bravely leads the three armies, and he is worthy of the name of the most powerful general in the world. Shi Guogong should be the first to contribute to this Northern Expedition!" Shi Yanchao cupped his fists and said: "I will live up to my official reputation. "Say!" Wei Renpu came over and said, "I would like to tie the head of a mulberry tree to the flagpole and send a message to the four cities of Jinzhou. The defenders know that the reinforcements have been defeated by Dashu and the city is about to be broken." Guo Shao nodded and said: " Then he followed Deputy Wei's request." Guo Shao grabbed Shi Yanchao's hand, and his own hand was stained with blood. "The queen brought a can of home-brewed grape wine. Shi Guogong and I drank it together. Quan Zuo. Celebrating." Shi Yanchao pretended to be loud and said: "How many people are allowed to taste the wine brewed by the queen? Thank you for your generous gift!" Sure enough, all the warriors around him admired it. With the roar of cannons ahead, Shi Yanchao was drinking and laughing in front of the emperor in the tent, and drank all Guo Shao's can of wine. By the time Dong Zunkui came back, not a drop of it was left. Guo Shao asked Dong Zunjiao about the war again. After learning about the situation before and after the horse war, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful! Once Li Chuyun died, it would be difficult for any general in the army to control Shi Yanchao. If he was allowed to act recklessly, he would inevitably have bad luck. If Xu Jun loses his most powerful general in any battle, it will obviously have a great impact on morale It was night, and Guo Shao didn't fall asleep for a long time. Suddenly he reported to Wei Renpu asking for an audience, and Guo Shao summoned him inside. Wei Renpu also brought in a man wearing animal skins. The two of them bowed before and after him. Wei Renpu said, "This man is the person from Liao State who is responsible for contacting Yang Gun." Guo Shao looked over and thought that he had finally heard from Yang Gun. . The man clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, Yang Gun said something. Someone reported that the King of Yue was planning to rebel!" "Oh?" Guo Shao began to turn over the files, "The King of Yue should be the brother of Yelujing (the former emperor)?" That Bing Cao Si Xizuo hurriedly replied: "That's right, this person's name is Yelu Bishe." Guo Shao finally found the archives of celebrities from various countries compiled by Wang Pu, read them through, and found that this Liao clan member he was not familiar with had a gentle temperament, and his mother She's just a palace maidbecause her mother's family is humble, her status is a bit lacking, and her strength is also lacking. On the contrary, Ju Sage, who was killed by Shi Yanchao today, was the most powerful king in Taizong's lineage. However, Ju Sage was Xiao Siwen's son-in-law and seemed to be won over by Xiao Siwen. Guo Shao slapped his forehead and said, "The King of Yue (Yelu Bishe) and the King of Qi (·Hsage) are brothers from the same father. Wouldn't it be better if they join forces?" Bing Cao Si Xizuo looked at a loss. Wei Renpu seemed to understand, and said calmly: "Yang Gun can say that they are going to join forces to plot rebellion. The reason why Sage went south to save Jinzhou is because Wang Zhang's confidants want to use Da Xu's help to eliminate dissidents." He said carefully: " Yan Sage is Xiao Siwen's son-in-law, and Xiao Siwen is Yelvxian's favorite. This" Wei Renpu said: "So what? Xiao Siwen's three daughters, the eldest daughter Xiao Hunian, is married to Yan Sage, from Taizong's side. The second daughter married the son of Yelu Lihu, the third son of Taizu; the younger daughter Xiao Chuo, who was captured by the officials in Youzhou, originally wanted to marry Yelvxian, a member of Yi Zong Xiao Siwen's marriage path was not limited to Yi Zong. The same lineage. Just because he is Xiao Siwen's son-in-law, he will not be loyal to the people of Yi Zong." Xi Zuo stood in the middle, bowing his head in thought. Guo Shaodao: "Ask Deputy Wei to write a letter to Yang Gun. You can take it back and give it to Yang Gun so that he can act according to the plan At this time, there is a war in Liaodong, can you still go back to see Yang Gun?"Xi Zuo hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have another Xi Zuo from the Liao Kingdom who is Yang Gun. Yang Gun will come forward to accommodate Xiao Zuo. I will memorize the letter from the deputy envoy of Wei and relay it. But from Xiao Zuo's perspective Therefore, Yang Gun is not willing to obey the advice of the imperial court. " Guo Shao turned to look at Wei Renpu: "As long as Xiao Siwen is in his position, Yang Gun's life will be in danger. Deputy envoy Wei stated his interests in the letter. Yang Gun obeyed. "Wei Renpu said: "I obey the order. This plan can be tried."
