Water Margin people

The south bank of Baigou.

"What should we do now? We are all surrounded. The enemy is Qingqi. We can't run away!"

Xin Xingzong remembered scratching his head.

Xin Xingzong came to support and did not expect this result. If he had known that the enemy was so powerful, he would not have come out of Xiongzhou.

At that time, Xiao Qian led his troops to form a formation on the high slope. Xin Xingzong arrived on behalf of his troops. When he saw the enemy's cavalry arraying on the high slope, he immediately became afraid and prepared to withdraw with his troops and horses.

But Xiao Qian was not a simple man. He seized the opportunity for Xin Xingzong's army to turn around, and the cavalry rushed down, catching Xin Xingzong off guard. After a bloody battle, thanks to Yang Keshi's rescue, he successfully broke through.

"General Xin, we can't go on like this. We are surrounded, there are no reinforcements outside, and what will we do if we run out of food and grass?"

Wang Yuan was covered in scars and it was difficult to speak. During the day's battle, he was accidentally left alone and was slashed several times by the enemy. Fortunately, he was protected by armor and was not killed on the spot. After that, Han Shizhong showed his prowess and killed consecutively. It took dozens of enemies to save him.

At this moment, Wang Yuan had long regretted in his heart. The battle in Jiangnan had greatly increased the confidence of their army, but the combat power of the Northern Liao army was far beyond that of the Mingjiao people.

After some discussion, Zhong Shidao made up his mind. The army broke out in batches, with the baggage going first, and he personally led the troops to break up the rear.

The next day, there was another brutal fight.

How could Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian let the Song army go? When the Song army began to retreat, the Northern Liao cavalry rushed out.

The light cavalry showed their mobility and continued to harass and kill, making the Song army tired of parrying.

However, after all, the Western Army had rich combat experience and maintained its evacuation. Although the casualties were high, it would not be defeated.

Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian led their troops to pursue the Baoding Army.

Tong Guan looked at the tragic battlefield outside the city. The light cavalry came and went like the wind, waving their butcher knives wantonly. The elite of the Western Army could only parry.

"Tong Xiang, what should I do?"

He Shen looked at Tong Guan anxiously. He had lost his bearings. He had never seen such a scene before, so he didn't know what to do.

"The city gate is closed. No one is allowed to open the city gate without my order! Violation of this will be subject to military law!"

Tong Guan immediately ordered that it was chaotic outside the city and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. He was worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to enter the city.

"Tong Xiang, what should we do with the army?"

Wang Huan hurriedly looked at Tong Guan and said, our army is being massacred outside the city. If we don't open the city gate, won't we see our army being killed right before our eyes?

"What should we do if the enemy sneaks into the city?"

Tong Guan glared at Wang Huan. He couldn't stand this old man. These old guys always had objections to his orders despite their status.

"Tong Xiang, the last general is willing to lead troops out of the city to rescue!"

Wang Huan cupped his fists at Tong Guan.

"Didn't you hear the military order from the truth?"

Tong Guan said sharply.

Seeing Tong Guan like this, Wang Huan and others did not dare to say anything anymore. Tong Guan was angry. If Tong Guan was really angered, no one would be able to reap the benefits.

The fighting outside the city continued, the sky darkened again, but the sound of fighting outside the city showed no sign of stopping.

The Song army shouted repeatedly, but the gate of the Baoding army would not open. In desperation, Zhong Shidao and others had to rely on the city wall for defense.

……

Jizhou.

"Taoist Master Ma, after receiving the news, my brother is preparing to send troops!"

Shi Qian whispered to Ma Ling.

"There are only four people in the city now, Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zonglin, Yelu Zongdian, and Yelu Zonglei. These four people are guarding the city according to the arrangement of Yelu Dashi. It is really troublesome for Yang Xiong to lead troops to patrol."

Ma Ling frowned and said, Jizhou's defense has improved a lot since the last time there was a big fuss in Jizhou, and Yelu Zongyun and several people took turns on duty.Because Yang Xiong was favored by Yelu Dashi, he was promoted from the section in charge of Lao City to city patrol officer, and now he patrols the city with his soldiers and horses all day long.

"The army will arrive in two days, and we have to find a way to open the city gate."

Ma Ling looked in the direction of the city gate and said.

"Why don't we look for opportunities from Yang Xiong? Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun has recently had an affair with Pei Ruhai, a monk from Bao'en Temple. She often does so under the pretext of going to Bao'en Temple to pray for blessings!"

Shi Qian said, none of these things in the city could escape his eyes and ears.

"I also know that Yang Xiong is not a hot-tempered person. I'm afraid he will endure it for Wusha's sake!"

Ma Ling shook his head and said, although Yang Xiong has martial arts and abilities, his character is really a bit cowardly.

Pan Qiaoyun was originally married to a king Yasi in the city. Later Wang Yasi died and Pan Qiaoyun became a widow.

This kind of woman is not the first choice for people of high status, but Pan Qiaoyun's father is a butcher and has quite a lot of money, so Yang Xiong married Pan Qiaoyun, and there has not been much affection for her over the years.

"You'll know if you try it! Now that Yang Xiong has been promoted, if he endures it, his future will be ruined!"

Shi Qian smiled and said, Yang Xiong is still very fond of power. If Yelu Dashi favors him, it will be the time of his rapid rise. If he even wears this cuckold, I am afraid he will be ridiculed and his future promotion path will be difficult. It broke.

"Then try!"

Ma Ling nodded.

"There will be a Dharma assembly at Baoen Temple the day after tomorrow. Then Pan Qiaoyun will definitely go to meet the adulterer Pei Ruhai. I will make them look good then!"

Shi Qian had a sinister smile on his face.

Two days later, Baoen Temple.

Pan Qiaoyun was dressed up and went to Baoen Temple with a group of women to pray for blessings.

There was a lot of incense in Baoen Temple, and chanting continued. Pei Ruhai was the steward of Baoen Temple. He greeted the pilgrims at the door with a smile. To the temple, these women were the great incense masters. They only needed a few words to fool them, and the money for the sesame oil was It's a lot.

Pan Qiaoyun took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gave Pei Ruhai a wink. That coquettish look made Pei Ruhai feel itchy in his heart.

While the others were listening to the scriptures, he walked up to Pan Qiaoyun and asked Pan Qiaoyun to go out as if he wanted to introduce the temple. Pan Qiaoyun naturally followed with a smile.

There are more and more people praying in the main hall of the temple. There are nearly a thousand people of all ages, including men, women and children.

The high-ranking officials of the Liao Kingdom believed in Buddhism, which resulted in the majority of the people under their rule being Buddhists. Whenever there were Buddhist meetings in temples, there were countless pilgrims.

"Buddha Appears!"

Suddenly, an exclamation made everyone in the hall look at him.

I saw a golden light flashing from behind the golden Buddha and heading towards the side hall.

"Follow Buddha quickly!"

Someone shouted, and the pilgrims in the hall immediately swarmed away. If they could get the guidance of the Buddha, they would not be able to transcend directly.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Shi Qian chuckled. The golden light was just a trick he created to blind people. It was actually a small ball painted with gold powder mixed with paint.

Outside the main hall, there are constant golden marks on the walkways, and the traces of flashing gold powder make pilgrims even more certain that this is the guidance of the Buddha.

A group of people came to the side hall, saw signs of entering a side room, and rushed in immediately.

But what they saw in front of them made everyone's jaws drop. Where was the Buddha? There was a man and a woman in the side room, entangled together and doing casual things. The man was still a bald monk.

"Pei Ruhai, Pan Qiaoyun!"

Everyone exclaimed and immediately recognized the couple. (End of chapter)
