Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

After setting the tone, Jiang Hongfei asked Li Gang to draft a recruitment and surrender document.

On the side of Youyan, originally in our Han territory, Khitan was trapped for two hundred years. Recently, there have been turmoils inside and outside Khitan. The old master has not been destroyed, and the new king has usurped us. We mourn for this good people and suffer a lot. Today, I, Jiang Yan, command a large number of troops and are stationed at the border. My mission is to save the people, not just to kill. You should all work hard and return to the enemy as soon as possible. If you can lead heroes and achieve outstanding results, you will be given an official position and will be rewarded without hesitation. If a person can come from a prefecture or a county, he will be appointed by his prefecture or county; if a hero comes from Yanjing, regardless of the soldiers or civilians, even if he has not appointed an official, he will give a spiritual coin of 100,000 yuan to the Jiedushi envoy, and a large house. a district……

Jiang Hongfei ordered the recruitment of warriors from Xiongzhou, and asked them to carry the articles across the border, deep into the territory of Liao Kingdom, and post them everywhere.

Jiang Hongfei asked Li Gang to ghostwrite a letter to Yelu Chun:

Jiang Yan would like to write to His Excellency the King of Qin and Jin:

"Gai heard that those who obey the heavens will prosper, and those who go against the heavens will perish. Those who win the hearts of the people can build a country, and those who lose the hearts of the people will not be able to defend the country... The king is gentle and courteous, has knowledge of the past and the present, and has a deep understanding of the opportunities for survival and death. Those who are good at planning, If defeat is achieved, misfortunes can be turned into blessings. If we can open the door to welcome the surrender, surrender and accept the land, the king will never lose the title of king, and the people of Yan will not be in trouble. If this is not the case, we should propose an army to the king. We are poor and tired of people leaving. If we want to go north, we will have nowhere to go. If we want to go south, we will find it safe. At this time, why should we pursue it even if we regret it? What’s more, the three capitals in the prefecture and city under the control of Daliao Five Road have become wild. The land of Yanyun must not be defended. The king usually has a benevolent heart. If he can know the fate of the people in the past, the fate of Yanyun will be endless, and he will not dare to defeat the people of Yanyun. Tell the truth with sincerity, but think carefully and plan well, so as not to be misled by mediocre people.”

It is polite to write a letter to Yelu Chun and tell him the purpose of his trip.

The Chinese during this period, no, not just the Chinese, but also the Hulu, all paid attention to courtesy first and then fighting.

Jiang Hongfei could only do as the Romans do.

After the letter was written, Jiang Hongfei asked his subordinates: "Who is willing to deliver this letter?"

I saw Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong marching out together, saying loudly: "I am willing to go!"

This Zhang Xian is not Zhang Xian, who came second in the new martial arts examination, but Zhang Xian, a returned official. He and Zhao Zhong are both from Yanjing, and they were even minor officials in the Liao Kingdom. Not long ago, they fled with their families to Hebei and fled to Liangshan. .

The so-called returned officials refer to the Han people who originally served as officials in the Yanyun area of ​​the Liao Dynasty. They later returned to the Song Dynasty (now including Shuibo Liangshan) and continued to serve as officials.

The most typical example is Zhao Liangsi, who proposed to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. He was a returned official.

In addition, in the Song Dynasty, there were also the so-called "people who returned to the court", "people who returned to the Ming Dynasty" and "people who returned to the righteousness".

——The returnees refer to the Han people in the Yanyun area. They originally belonged to the Liao Kingdom and they belonged to the Song Dynasty. The so-called Guiming people refer to other ethnic groups other than the Han who were not originally from the Song Dynasty but later belonged to the Song Dynasty, such as the Tibetan and Barbarian ethnic minorities in the southwest, as well as the Khitan, Mongolian, Jurchen and other ethnic groups. The so-called "returners" refer to those who were originally from the Song Dynasty and later trapped in the Fan Kingdom, and later returned to the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong said that Yelu Chun was a gentle, kind and charitable person, and they felt that the two countries were at war without a fight, so they volunteered to make a contribution and be reused by Jiang Hongfei.

Since Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong took the initiative, Jiang Hongfei asked them to deliver the letter.

Unexpectedly, on the third day after Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong left Xiongzhou, Zhu Fu suddenly came to tell Jiang Hongfei that he had just received a secret letter from the spy who had infiltrated Yanjing. Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong were captured by Yelu. Chun was beheaded!

Many people in Shuibo Liangshan were shocked when they heard the news. They did not expect Yelu Chun to be so vicious and violent!

Liu Huiniang said to Jiang Hongfei: "The fact that Yelu Chun attacked so harshly shows that he is quite resentful of us Han people. It seems that there is not much hope of recruiting him to surrender. We can only defeat him as the officials said before. "

Jiang Hongfei nodded and ordered a heavy reward for the families of Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong. Then he said to his subordinates: "Yeluchun killed my envoy and bullied me too much. I will take him from Yanjing!"

Jiang Hongfei called Zhu Wu and said to him: "You send Lin Chong and Yue Fei to Yizhou, and I have arranged for Chai Jin and Yan Qing to go and recruit Gao Feng from Yizhou. Gao Feng is a Han official, and his family is dozens of years old. They all live in Yizhou City. He heard that there were Khitans in Yanjing City who advocated killing all the Han people. After hearing these rumors, he felt restless and anxious. He also heard that I personally led an expedition of 200,000 people. The Liao army has been assembled and may go north to attack Yanjing in the near future. Is he willing to sacrifice the city of Yizhou and break away from the Liao Kingdom in order to protect himself? It just so happens that I send Chai Jin and Yan Qing to surrender. Yan Qing hit it off immediately. As soon as my army arrives, we can take Yizhou and conquer the city first, putting full pressure on the Liao people."

Zhu Wu took the order: "I will arrange for Lin Chong and Yue Fei to go to Yizhou."

After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, Jiang Hongfei said: "You ask them to come to my place first, and I will explain to them personally."

After Zhu Wu returned to the front line, he quickly sent Lin Chong and Yue Fei back to Xiongzhou to meet Jiang Hongfei.

While Jiang Hongfei was drawing circles on the detailed map of Yizhou presented to him by Xu Guanzhong, Jiang Hongfei asked Lin Chong and Yue Fei: "Do you two know what is the most terrifying thing about long-distance marches?"

Lin Chong thought to himself: "There are many difficulties in long-distance marching. What is the most terrifying thing...?"

Yue Fei replied from the side: "I was ambushed, ambushed."

Jiang Hongfei nodded happily: "Yes, if you are ambushed by the enemy during a long march, there is basically no possibility of a comeback. Even if you are a top-notch Qi practitioner, against ten thousand enemies, and are famous among the princes for your courage, you can organize a large army to fight back. It is also useless. You two are both generals in charge of the army. You must understand that the two most important things in battle are armor and weapons. During the march, most of the baggage is behind. During long marches, many soldiers do not carry armor, and The transition from a marching state to a fighting state is not something that can be done in a short period of time. The soldiers have to go through a process of adjustment mentally and physically. "

Lin Chong was convinced. Imagine that he was marching with his men here. Everyone had no armor on them. They were chatting about interesting things, imagining being rewarded for their meritorious service, getting a wife, a beautiful concubine, and a lot of spiritual stones. The enemy over there suddenly Kill until...

Thinking of this, Lin Chong didn't dare to think any further.

Jiang Hongfei asked: "How to avoid being ambushed?"

Lin Chong replied: "When an army moves forward, there must be scouts. As long as we send out scouts widely, we will definitely avoid being ambushed."

Jiang Hongfei raised his head and looked at Yue Fei again.

Yue Fei replied: "As a general, you should have a higher vision than the scouts. You should not advance rashly. You should judge the terrain and avoid areas where it is easy to be ambushed. If you go, you should divide the army into three armies: front, middle and rear. To help, never act impulsively.”

Jiang Hongfei nodded: "One general is incompetent and a thousand troops will be exhausted. You two must remember this."

After speaking, Jiang Hongfei took Lin Chong and Yue Fei to look at the map in his hand, pointed out the dangerous places they might encounter on their way to Yizhou one by one, and drew a "red cross" on it.

When he arrived at Langoudian, Jiang Hongfei changed his black pen and drew a "skull" on it.

Jiang Hongfei said: "Langou Dian is located in the southwest of the new city. It used to be a river valley, but now it has dried up into a north-south road. The ground is covered with fine stones and gravel. There are long slopes on both sides of the road, and there are large pine trees on the slopes. Lin. If the Liao army were to ambush you, they would most likely choose this place..."

…

The next day, Lin Chong and Yue Fei led 3,500 horse troops and 4,600 infantry troops, a total of 8,100 horse infantry troops, advancing towards Yizhou.

Because Jiang Hongfei had given instructions in advance, Lin Chong and Yue Fei marched carefully and arrived at the new city without any danger.

Lin Chong said to Yue Fei: "After passing Langoudian, we will reach Yishui in another fifteen miles. After passing Yishui, we will have completed this task."

Yue Fei said: "Senior brother, do you think our journey has been too smooth? Do you think the Liao army will ambush us at Langoudian where the Duke of Guo expected?"

Lin Chong said: "Whether it is possible or not, we will find out when the scouts come back."

While Lin Chong and Yue Fei were talking, the scout came back.

The news brought back by the scouts was that there was no ambush in Langoudian.

Yue Fei was greatly disappointed when he heard this: "It seems there is no war."

Unexpectedly, General Lin Chong said: "Junior Brother, do you think it's because the scouts didn't detect it?"

Yue Fei was startled!

Scouts are all very knowledgeable about the landforms. There is no such thing as the kind of scout who is still stuck in the deep mountains and old forests unable to find Bei after the war is over.

This kind of person cannot be a scout, but can be a monkey.

Moreover, the scouts have keen observation skills. There are rarely ambushes on the roads they have explored. It is precisely because of this that the probability of an ambush battle is actually not high.

In addition, the Liangshan Army also has the artifact of a telescope, so the scouts of the Liangshan Army are much more powerful than the scouts of other armies in this world.

Therefore, Yue Fei really didn't think that something was wrong with the scouts.

But Lin Chong couldn't be aimless.

Yue Fei did not make random guesses, but asked directly: "What do you think, senior brother?"

Lin Chong said: "First of all, this is Liao territory. We are marching here. It is impossible for the Liao army not to know. Just like the Song army came to suppress our Shuibo Liangshan, as long as it enters our Shuibo Liangshan territory, every move will be for us." This is also the case. Since they know that our army has entered, it is impossible for the Liao army to fail to respond, otherwise the Liao country will be easy to attack. "

Yue Fei felt that Lin Chong was right.

After a pause, Lin Chong added: "The key point is that you have just entered Shuibo Liangshan and you still don't know the magic of my brother. He has spent several years planning all his strategies and leaving no troops behind before he decided on a great cause. Now he reckons that here in Langoudian There may be an ambush, it must be unusual here in Nalangoudian.”

After listening to Lin Chong's analysis, Yue Fei thought for a moment, then rushed behind him and shouted: "Wang Gui!"

Wang Gui immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"

Yue Fei said to Wang Gui: "Brother, you go there in person, be careful and careful, and explore Langoudian carefully. If you find out, it will be your first achievement. If you can't find out, you will engage in military law!"

Wang Gui is a rough but subtle person, and he is unwilling to lag behind others in everything. Yue Fei believes that as long as Wang Gui is willing to pay attention, he will be able to find out whether there is an ambush here in Langoudian?

Two hours later, Wang Gui came back and said to Lin Chong and Yue Fei: "Brother, brother, I have found out that there are at least 3,000 men and horses ambushed on both sides of Langoudian. They hid behind the mountains, so the previous scouts did not find out. ”

Lin Chong ordered without saying a word: "Kill all the previous scouts!"

Yue Fei did not intercede for those few scouts who did not perform their duties, just because they almost killed nearly ten thousand people. It was really not a pity to die for such scouts.

Yue Fei asked Lin Chong: "Brother, since there is an ambush here in Langoudian, look..."

Lin Chong thought for a while and said, "How about we go around Langoudian?"

Yue Fei said euphemistically: "That would require an extra two days of walking, so there's no guarantee that there won't be any complications."

Lin Chong knew that Yue Fei had many ideas, so he asked, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Yue Fei said: "How about you and I, brothers and sisters, give the Liao army a trick?"

…

That night, it was three o'clock at ten o'clock.

Lin Chong led his army to form a sparse formation by taking advantage of the light mist released by Fan Rui, pretending that nearly ten thousand troops were crossing the border, and entered Langoudian.

As soon as he entered Langoudian, Lin Chong felt that there was a strong gloom in the dry valley, and the situation was not good.

Fan Rui even said to Lin Chong: "Many ghosts must have been buried here."

In the middle of the journey, I saw arrows shooting out like rain on the slopes on both sides of the river valley.

Lin Chong shouted: "Don't panic, quickly mobilize the armor to resist, and the shieldmen will form a formation!"

Fan Rui followed his pre-planned plan and sprayed heavy fog to prevent the Liao army from seeing their true intentions.

Yelu Dashi stood on the top of the mountain to observe the battle and felt that something was wrong.

But before Yelu Dashi could think about it, Xiao Erlu, the bullpen supervisor in the forest opposite, saw that Liangshan Army was ambushing them. He immediately took the lead and led his 1,500 men and horses to rush towards the valley like a tiger descending a mountain. Killing the Liangshan Army did not give Yelu Dashi a chance to think about it.

Yelu Dashi had no choice but to let the bugler standing beside him blow the charge horn, and all the Liao army cavalry hidden in the pine forest rushed towards the river valley and killed the Liangshan army.

Immediately dust flew up in Langoudian, and the sound of killings shook the sky.

But at this moment, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, Yue Fei personally led two thousand cavalry into the valley and attacked the Liao army.

What's even more frightening is that Yue Fei's infantry, led by Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai and other generals, are quickly encircling the Liangshan Army and Liao Army along the river bank.

When Yelu Dashi saw this, how could he not know that they had fallen into a trap? He did not dare to fight anymore and quickly led the hard army (that is, his own army) to break out.

But Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing had already been eyeing Yelu Dashi.

The two fought with Yelu Dashi for more than thirty rounds, but they couldn't win the Yelu Dashi.

Finally, Yelu Dashi suddenly summoned a big bell to cover Luo Yanqing. With the help of his generals, he broke through Yang Zaixing's blockade and led hundreds of Liao cavalry out of the encirclement.

Xiao Erlu, on the other hand, refused to retreat and was eventually killed by Lin Chong.

A bloody battle lasted for an hour and a half and did not end until the sun rose.

As Jiang Hongfei had expected in advance, the Liao army, despite falling into a passive position, still fought to the death with a tenacious will to fight, causing considerable casualties to the Liangshan army.

The morning light fell on the severed heads, arms, legs, feet and arms, shining with bright red light. Horses lying on the ground and mutilated corpses were strewn about, and the sight of their blood was terrifying. The dead Liao soldiers and Liangshan soldiers were all lying together, and they could only be distinguished from their clothes. The air was filled with a thick, nauseating smell of blood.

Lin Chong and Yue Fei's expressions became very solemn...

…
