Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 654
Han Derang was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous, not only did not intend to be a spectator, but also actively participated in it.

He first asked the soldiers to eat all the food they carried to restore their physical strength.

At dusk, Han Derang gathered all the soldiers who could fight, looked at the tired and thin soldiers, and gave a deceptive speech: "Everyone, don't make a fuss, listen to me. We have arrived at the destination, ten miles ahead Outside is the food and grass camp of the thieves, and there is no need to walk on small paths and mountain roads, and there is no need to suffer from hunger."

The Khitan and Jurchen soldiers were in a commotion. First they were tossed by the waves, and then they crossed the Montenegro and Yanshan Mountains from Lulong.The mountain road was difficult to navigate, but in order to avoid being exposed, they took the unknown smuggling path, and they complained repeatedly.

These simple words hit the weakness of the Khitan and Jurchen soldiers without suffering any more.

If Han Derang hadn't stated in advance that he was not allowed to make any noise, Custodian cheered loudly excitedly.

Han Derang saw that the atmosphere was in place, and continued: "Everyone, don't be too happy. You are all warriors who have been fighting for a long time. I must know what our situation is. Hungry and tired, some people even stand up It’s unstable. But we have no way out. The food you ate just now was the last dry food. Not to mention returning by the sea boat when you came, you can’t even get out of Yanshan. The only way to survive is to Win this battle."

"Don't look at the enemy camp's deep defense. Their food and grass are gathered in the south camp directly in front of us. The south camp is also their weakest place. As long as we can break into it, we can set it on fire. Hey, it's summer and autumn. , is the best time to attack with fire. As long as there is a fire, we will be able to win the game. Then, in the enemy's camp, we will hold a celebration feast, eat their food, minced meat, and drink their fine wine..."

His eyes were hot, his words were full of temptation, and he said in a high voice: "If you retreat now, you will die, and you will survive if you fight hard. You will have the last laugh. For my Daliao, and for yourselves. Listen to my orders now, and aim for the camp of the Southern Dynasty. "

Han Derang imitated Xiang Yu's desperate efforts and achieved excellent results.

Khitan and Jurchen all showed desperate looks, and followed Han Derang to the north in a mighty way.

Sure enough, as Han Dezhang inquired, although the Southern Dynasty deployed heavy troops to defend the grain and grass camp in the rear, they were extremely lax in controlling the south.

The group of them easily got close, and the timing was just right. As night fell, looking from a distance, the Nanchao Grain and Grass Camp was completely silent.

The scattered torches in the distance, like bright lights, illuminate the direction for them to move forward.

Occasionally, a group of soldiers holding torches patrolled the camp, silently and peacefully.

A frenzy flashed in Han Derang's eyes, and he put his right hand under his command.

"kill!!!"

The peaceful scene was broken by the shocking shouts of killing.

Wanyan Bahai led the elite Jurchen under his command to rush to the grain and grass camp.

More than [-] soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was like overwhelming mountains and seas!
There were not many soldiers guarding the camp in Nanzhai, only more than [-] people. Seeing tens of thousands of soldiers swarming in, there was a panic at first, and then harsh warning sounds echoed over the grain and grass camp.

Wanyan Bahai heard the ear-piercing warning sound, and even quickened his pace.

They must ignite the food and grass in the southern camp and create a howling camp before the enemy's northern camp, eastern camp and western camp come to support.

Otherwise, their physical strength is far from enough to sustain a long-term battle.

Wanyan Bahai rushed closer, and unexpectedly found that the thirty or so soldiers at the gate of the camp turned around and ran away.He rushed into the gate of the camp without any effort, and he couldn't help laughing.

I have heard for a long time that the soldiers of the Central Plains are elite and brave, but now it seems that they are also afraid of death?

Wanyan Bahai didn't think anything wrong with the Central Plains soldier's move.

How could their more than [-] soldiers resist the charge of nearly ten thousand people?
It is human nature to run away with regret, and it is a strange thing to stay and be a few breathing heroes.

Wanyan Bahai led the tribe under his command to rush into the camp gate like tigers and wolves. After entering the camp gate, he saw the surrounding soldiers screaming in horror and fleeing one after another, he couldn't help laughing: "The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are nothing more than that."

He went deeper for more than thirty steps before he noticed something strange.

The Central Plains people fled too fast, and they couldn't catch up with the opponent's fleeing speed: This doesn't seem like a rout, but a lure?

"Not good! It's a hit!"

Wanyan Bahai sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

But the current situation no longer allowed him to retreat.

Han Derang and Han Dezhang behind him could only hear the panicked screams of the Central Plains soldiers, they didn't know the situation ahead, they just thought that Wanyan Bahai had already fought with the soldiers guarding the camp and needed their support.

Wanyan Bahai wants to withdraw...

But Han Derang and Han Dezhang blindly shouted: "Charge!"

Especially after seeing the speed of the attacking team slow down, Han Derang thought that Wanyan Bahai was receiving stubborn resistance and needed their support, so he repeatedly encouraged the charge.

The rear team hugs the front team and moves forward together...

It was too late until Han Derang realized it.

There was only a loud "boom", and thick smoke emerged with the wind!

The camps in all directions caught fire one after another, and the explosive flames soared into the sky!

The fire spread like a galloping horse, enveloping Han Derang and Wanyan Bahai layer by layer.

Wanyan Bahai couldn't advance or retreat, so angry that he scolded his mother directly.

With the help of the red light from the flames, Wanyan Bahai saw dozens of dark objects flying in the distance, and one of them was flying towards him.

Wanyan Bahai was agile, and dodged to the right.

The flying object hit the soldiers behind him, fell to the ground, and shattered.

It's actually a crock pot...

The earthen jar was not very powerful and did not cause casualties, but the liquid in the earthen jar was scattered and splashed.

Wanyan Bahai was in Jurchen, and he didn't know much about kerosene, so he didn't react for a while.

As sparks landed on the fuel oil, the air wave pushed Wanyan Bahai back three feet, and he stepped on the fire.

The fierce fire oil stained on his body immediately wrapped him up.

The ancestor of the Jurchen in Jianzhou rushed to his clansmen in horror. His original intention was to ask them to help him put out the fire.

But wherever he went, those unlit fires ignited his body, and most of the Jurchens fell into the sea of ​​flames.

When Wanyan Bahai fell to the ground, there was only one thought in his mind: Regret.

Han Derang felt the sudden increase in temperature around him, and his heart was ashamed. Looking at the frightened faces beside him reflected by the flames, his mind went blank.

He was so smart that he thought of all the consequences in a flash...

He, Han Derang, will become a laughing stock, a famous backdrop in the Central Plains, and a sinner of Khitan...

"Fourth!"

Han Dezhang grabbed the sluggish Han Derang and fled backwards.

But at this moment, the flames in front had begun to spread backwards.

Numerous soldiers fled back in panic. They crowded and shoved each other, and some of them even swung their knives to hack the friendly soldiers in front of them under extreme tension.

Han Derang was a little distraught, and the guards behind him squeezed and fell to the ground.

Countless pairs of big feet trampled over Han Derang's body.

"Fourth!"

Han Dezhang yelled again in horror. He frantically pushed the panicked soldiers, trying to save his younger brother.

A sharp knife pierced his chest. His movement was too big, and the surrounding soldiers had already been angered. In such a defeated situation, who cares whether you are the commander or not.

A Jurchen soldier who was lucky enough to get out saw Han Dezhang push him, and directly gave him a knife.

Handerang instinctively hugged his head and curled up on the ground.

As a pair of big feet trampled past, Han Derang became more and more breathless, and his eyes gradually lost sight:

"I want to help Khitan grow stronger and drink the Yellow River again!"

"I want to avenge my father and lead the Khitan soldiers to destroy the Central Plains!"

"Xun Ning, you and I will surely help Khitan to regain its glory."

……

All kinds of memories come to mind...

All dreams come to naught...

The Khitan and Jurchen troops who escaped from the army camp by chance thought they had escaped, but soon found that two cavalry teams on the left and right flanks rushed to them.

**********
25 miles south of Dadingfu.

Dayu Barracks.

Luo Youdu got the news that the Khitan surprise attack army was completely annihilated, and secretly called out: "It's a fluke."

Yelu Wuzhi's move was really good, and he really deceived Luo Youdu and his advisers and staff.

Although Luo Youdu had doubts during the process, Yelusha's death dispelled his thoughts, until that night, Wu Desi sent the news of Yizheng.

Luo Youdu vaguely remembered that night, Zhang Jin found himself in a panic:

"Your Majesty, there is news of the Iraqi trial."

"Great!"

At that time, Luo Youdu was full of joy, he arranged for Yi Shenzheng and Chen Chuyao to go to Korea, and the task was successfully completed.

Although it was Chen Chuyao's credit all the time in the later stage, if there was no Yi Shenzheng who was a long-sleeved and good dancer in the early stage, Chen Chuyao would not have easily gained the respect of King Zhao of Koryo.

Chen Chuyao had already retired, but Yi Shenzheng's whereabouts were unknown, only that he became a Khitan captive and was escorted to Shangjing by Brother Yeluxiu.

Luo Youdu has always been kind to those who are loyal to him and to those who have made contributions to the country.He didn't give up the search for Yi Shenzheng because he lost his value, but let Wu Desi try his best to investigate Yi Shenzheng's whereabouts, and tried every means to rescue him back to Bianjing to enjoy the blessings.

Luo Youdu was delighted from the bottom of his heart when he got the news of Yi Shenzheng.

The news of Khitan's navy was delivered by Yi Shenzheng.

It turned out that Brother Yeluxiu saw that Yi Shenzheng was quite talented, so he took him to Shangjing and accepted the arrangement of the Khitan official department.

The official in charge of assessing Yi Shenzheng was Guo Xi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Khitan, a Han who grew up in Khitan, had a good strategy, and was a good hand in administration.

Yi Shenzheng's character was flawed, but his talent was unquestionable, so he passed the assessment soon and was appointed magistrate of Lekang County.

Lekang is located in Taizhou of Khitan, that is, Sijiazi Village, Northeast of Taoer River, Northeast of Taonan City, Jilin Province.It was barren in the early years, but because it is located in the lower reaches of the Hun River, there is a large area of ​​land that can be reclaimed.Yelu Abaoji settled the people looted from the Central Plains in this place, and gradually formed a small village.

Yi Shenzheng is good at sycophant and flattering, and a treacherous man like him will never treat himself badly wherever he goes.He was a prime minister, so it was easy to ask him to do the work of the county magistrate.

He first established a relationship with the noble gentry in Lekang County by virtue of his extraordinary EQ, and saw the shortcomings of Lekang County. With a three-inch tongue, he encouraged the noble gentry to invest in road construction and water diversion, so that the water from the Hun River was introduced into the Lekang County. field area.

The main direction of water diversion here is the property of the gentry, but the surrounding people can also get a share.

However, within a month or so, Yi Shenzheng has become a good official loved by everyone in Lekang County.

One day, Yi Shenzheng received an order from Shangfeng to lead the people of Lekang County to dredge a canal and divert the water from the Hun River to the Xiliao River.

This order made Yi Shenzheng feel inexplicable.

The Northeast at the moment is a veritable Great Northern Wilderness. Without heavy equipment, it is impossible to reclaim wasteland in many places.

The distance from the Hunhe River to the Xiliao River is not long, but there are many swamps and dense forests along the way, and the land is hard, which is not suitable for human survival. It is completely meaningless to divert water to the Xiliao River.

However, the biggest advantage of Yi Shenzheng is his obedience. He just does what Shangfeng arranges, without asking too many questions, let alone showing his own particularity, calling on the people to obey orders.

The Khitan side was very satisfied with Yi Shenzheng's attitude, and asked him to oversee the work, entrusted him with the management of tens of thousands of people in the surrounding area, and asked him to dig a canal two feet wide and one foot deep within a limited time.

Yi Shenzheng had even more doubts in his mind, how can an irrigation river need to be two feet wide and one foot deep?

Yi Shenzheng was curious from the bottom of his heart, and took advantage of his position to discuss this matter with his subordinate county magistrate.

Many county magistrates complained again and again, especially in the process of digging canals, they were in short supply of craftsmen.

After careful inspection, Yi Shenzheng keenly noticed that five years ago, craftsmen suddenly became rare goods to live in. Many craftsmen in their village went to big towns to beg for a living, and it is said that they are doing well.

Immediately, Yi Shenzheng thought of a strange story in the village: it was said that there was a dragon in the upper reaches of the Hun River, and as long as their fishing boats approached, they would be swallowed by the dragon.

It is also said that a group of cannibal savages live in the upper reaches of the Hun River, and more than a dozen unbelieving fishermen have disappeared in the village.

Moreover, some ship board sawdust and some household garbage will drift down from time to time upstream.

Yi Shenzheng put these things together, noticed some clues, looked at the canal they dug, and thought, this is not irrigation, is it a boat?
Yi Shenzheng found a map and found that as long as the Hun River was connected to the Liao River, this canal could lead directly to the Liaodong Bay.

Wu Desi found Yi Shenzheng at this time.

Yi Shenzheng told the spy of Wu Desi about his discovery, and sure enough, he found the shipyard and their navy in the upper reaches of the Hun River.

Yi Shenzheng was rewarded, his eyes were full of merit, he wrote a book himself, and let Wu Desi's spies pass it to Luo Youdu with embellishment and embellishment.

Luo Youdu heard the news that Khitan has a navy, and contacted the upper and lower officials to understand Yeluwuzhi's calculations, and immediately pretended to be arrogant, and led the snake out of the cave by following the trick.

Luo Youdu put the news in his hand into the fire and burned it, and said loudly: "Hurry up, call the generals to discuss matters."

Even though it was early in the morning, the core generals were still in the three-way drum, gathering in the imperial tent!
