A knife in love

Chapter 1947
Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Qi Jiu listened to Feng Wei's narration of the past, and after circling east and west, they turned the topic to the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, and they were a little puzzled.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, since arriving in Dongliao County, it seems that everyone's words have become long-winded and go around.Originally, he wanted to find out Feng Wei's origin, but after talking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

When Li Qiufeng and others were thinking about it, Feng Wei continued: "I heard Master Tong Guan suddenly mentioned Emperor Taizu, and I was at a loss. I don't know what Master Tong Guan intends. Master Tong Guan said to me, When the Emperor Taizu conquered Meng Chang in the middle of Shu, he divided his troops into two groups. On the one side, Wang Quanbin was the main general, leading the army to attack Chengdu, while Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin were the side divisions, going west by water, and they wanted to join the army commanded by Wang Quanbin outside the city of Chengdu. Join forces and jointly attack Chengdu. Meng Chang's troops were vulnerable and had to go out of the city to surrender. However, Wang Quanbin's lax military discipline caused the Shu people to rebel. Emperor Taizu severely punished the generals as a punishment. Only Cao Bin restrained his subordinates , was not punished.

"General Cao Bin was a famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. He was rigorous and generous. He led his troops into Shu, and he did not commit any crimes in the autumn. He won the hearts of the Shu people. Perhaps because of this, someone presented him with a map, which is said to be the Shu Han Written by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang..."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard Feng Wei mentioning Cao Bin, Zhuge Liang and the formation map, they were shocked and turned pale. They couldn't help but glanced at each other, and held the hilt and the hilt of the sword in unison.Feng Wei did not pay attention to the expressions of the two of them, and said to himself: "After General Cao Bin got the battle map, if he found a treasure, he studied it carefully and learned the secrets. When the army from conquering Shu returned to the Central Plains, he Then he presented this array map to Emperor Taizu.

"After Emperor Taizu reviewed the formation map, he was also full of emotions. He admired it and regarded it as a treasure. Zhuge Liang was ranked among the top ten philosophers of the martial arts temple. He used troops extremely well. The formation map he left was naturally extraordinary. General Cao Bin later Leading the army to crusade against Li Yu in the south of the Yangtze River, the use of troops was extremely smooth, and I think I got a lot of benefits from the formation map."

When Feng Wei said this, he accidentally saw a disdainful expression on Qi Jiu's face, and was taken aback. He immediately stopped talking, took a look at Qi Jiu, and then said: "Boy, let me look at your face. His expression is quite strange, do you look down on Zhuge Liang and General Cao Bin?"

Qi Jiu said in a deep voice: "The old man is wrong. Zhuge Wuhou is very witty, and General Cao Bin is also a famous general. I admire him so much that I dare not be disrespectful. However, the old man said that General Cao Bin flattened the south of the Yangtze River. , I got benefits from the formation map, I don't agree with it. The formation map is dead, but the enemy is alive. It is just a fool's dream to rely on a map to conquer the world. Although it is said that Zhuge Wuhou left a copy No one has ever seen the Eight Formation Diagram. The ignorant people in the world will attach it indiscriminately, and it will damage the name of Marquis Wu."

At this moment, Li Qiufeng was extremely horrified, thinking to himself that the strange things happened in Jingxin Temple under Hutou Rock and Changping Ancient Battlefield before, and everything was related to the formation map left by Zhuge Wuhou.Although I thought I had heard that Cao Bin had obtained a map before, I never expected that Feng Wei would say it at this moment.Thinking of the weirdness of this formation, Li Qiufeng felt a chill rising from his feet, rushing all the way to the top of his head, and his body couldn't help shivering a few times.

Feng Wei sneered, and said in his mouth: "How much weight do you have, how dare you slander the great sage?!"

Qi Jiu was dissatisfied, and was about to speak, when Li Qiufeng winked at him, signaling him not to speak.Qi Jiu had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips, and remained silent.Only then did Li Qiufeng say to Feng Wei: "I don't know what happened next?"

Seeing that Qi Jiu stopped talking, Feng Wei calmed down a little, and then said: "Master Tong Guan stopped for a while, glanced at me, and then continued, after Emperor Taizu and General Cao Bin consulted the battle map , then selected several hundred soldiers of the imperial army, and tried out the military formation in the palace. Unexpectedly, when the military formation was launched, the sky and the earth would change color, and many strange things happened. Emperor Taizu hurriedly dismissed the military formation. Only then did I realize that this formation map really has the ability to control ghosts and gods. Once the formation is activated, fierce ghosts will appear, which is extremely terrifying. If you can't control these fierce ghosts, they will come back when the time comes, and it can be said that there will be endless troubles.

"Emperor Taizu dismissed the soldiers, and then he said to General Cao Bin that although the formation plan is powerful, only people like Zhuge Wuhou can drive it. If you set up the formation rashly, even if you destroy the enemy army, I am afraid that you will eat yourself back , There will be endless troubles. Therefore, Emperor Taizu put away the formation map and hid it in the big inner room, keeping it secret from others.

"After the death of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne and used troops against the Liu family who were entrenched in Taiyuan. Although the Liu family had such famous generals as Yang Ye, they lost their time and could not repel the army led by Emperor Taizong, and finally left the city Surrender. However, the Khitan people were worried that Emperor Taizong would take the opportunity to go northward and seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, so they sent elite cavalry to surprise the Song army, taking advantage of it."

When Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu heard what Feng Wei said, they all thought that after Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty forced the surrender of the Liu family in Taiyuan, he refused to withdraw his troops, and wanted to seize the opportunity to retake the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, so he immediately led the army to march north.As a result, the Liao army counterattacked, the Song army was defeated, and the whole army collapsed.Song Taizong ran for his life and was about to be overtaken by the Liao army. He happened to meet Yang Ye and his son who were escorting the grain and grass, and they rescued him.Although Yang Ye and his son were brave, they were ordered to transport food and grass at that time, and they only brought more than a thousand old and weak soldiers. After all, they were outnumbered and had no horses.Fleeing from Youzhou in a hurry.Feng Wei said that the Khitan raided the Song army, and did not say that the Song army was defeated, just to cover Zhao Guangyi's ugliness.

I only heard Feng Wei go on to say: "After Emperor Taizong returned to Bianliang, he reorganized his army and made another Northern Expedition in the third year of Yongxi. The Northern Expedition army won first and then lost, and had to return to the Song Dynasty. Emperor Taizong felt that the Khitan people were treacherous and fierce. The army is hard to match. If you want to defeat them and take back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. Moreover, after two major wars, the Song army was seriously injured and was unable to continue the Northern Expedition. The Liao army was in full swing , there was a tendency to send troops southward and sweep the Central Plains. At that time, Emperor Taizong no longer thought about taking back the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, but how to find ways to resist the southward march of the Liao army.

"Just as Emperor Taizong was hesitating, a courtier said that when Emperor Taizu was alive, he had practiced a very powerful army formation, which could drive ghosts and gods and swallow the enemy army. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately went to the palace I searched everywhere for the array map hidden by Emperor Taizu. The hard work paid off, and finally I found this array map in the interlayer of a book case that Emperor Taizu often used when he was alive. Emperor Taizong immediately ordered to select a number from the imperial army Thousands of brave men rehearse the army formation.

"In September of the second year, the Liao army really marched south. Emperor Taizong sent his trusted generals to lead the imperial army to the north, and set up an army formation in Dingzhou according to the formation map, waiting for the arrival of the Liao army. It's just that the forward of the Liao army just arrived outside the city of Dingzhou. Before the battle with the Song army, there was a rebellion in the country, and the commander of the Liao army had to stop his troops and return to the north. The general of the Song army who presided over the Dingzhou army ordered to pursue him, but was defeated by the ambush of the Liao army, causing heavy casualties. When the report was sent to Bianliang, Emperor Taizong was startled and angry. He summoned the courtier who reported to him about the formation map to the front of the imperial court. The soldiers pay for their lives."
