The dream of a lonely hero

The next day, Zhao Guangyi went to Dingzhou Bingma Dujiansi to receive fifty local soldiers. He was disappointed. Not to mention that the fifty local soldiers were only imperial troops, not field troops, but also old, weak and sick. How could he expect them to achieve success? Fortunately, he had brave men such as Yanyun and Gao Qiong. He took Feng Zan, Chai Yuxi, Liu Qi, Wang Yande, Yanyun, Yuanda, Ma Yan, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao, Dai Xing, Li Bin, Sang Zan, Ge Ba, Fu Qian, Li Jun, and Yang Mao, and went to Beicheng County. Along the way, Zhao Guangyi stopped and walked at Feng Zan's suggestion, as if he was sightseeing. On the second day after arriving in Beicheng, Feng Zan borrowed Yanyun, Yuanda, and Ma Yan from Zhao Guangyi, and rode horses to visit the mountains and rivers outside Beicheng, and did so every day for several days.

That morning, "Wang Dahan" Wang Zhao couldn't hold it in any longer, and said to his master Zhao Guangyi: "My lord! What kind of person is Feng Zan? He only knows how to travel around all day, and never helps the lord to train his troops. He is simply a drunkard!"

"Gao Dachi" Gao Qiong said: "That's right! Feng Zan looks so big and strong that he can't lift a sword or swing a knife. What does the lord want with a thing that wastes food for nothing!" Fu Qian, Yang Mao, Mi Chao and other generals also followed suit.

Zhao Guangyi was also anxious, and took his anger out on them, shouting: "You two fools! Is it your turn to point fingers at my counselors?"

Chai Yuxi winked at the generals, and they all withdrew, leaving only Chai Yuxi and Liu Qi in the hall. Chai Yuxi said to Zhao Guangyi: "My lord! These fifty old and weak soldiers are indeed not good enough to be warriors on the battlefield, but - but they can't do nothing. How can they return to the court without making military achievements?"

Zhao Guangyi was silent in thought. Gao Jing, the "Double Halberd Yaksha", Dai Sheng, the "Double Gun Wanderer", Bao Zhao, the "Flying Tiger", and Liu Hao, the "Flying Mountain Leopard", who were ordered to go to Youzhou to inquire about the enemy's situation, ran in breathlessly. Gao Jing gasped and said, "Reporting to the lord, the Liao general Yelu Wurong of Youzhou sent Han Rang, the left governor of Zhennan, to lead 72 iron cavalrymen and 5,000 fierce generals to attack the north city, threatening to..."

Zhao Guangyi stood up suddenly in shock and said, "What?"

Gao Jing said, "We must destroy the north city and capture Zhao Guangyi alive."

Zhao Guangyi was killed by the Liao generals Han Rang, Yelu Jinzhen, and Zuo Chengba under the city of Youzhou. If it weren't for the "golden lion" Zhang Baoyang who risked his life to save him, he would have been buried in the underworld. Hearing "Han Rang", he couldn't help trembling all over and said in panic, "When-when did you arrive at the north city?"

Gao Jing said, "We set off yesterday and will arrive this afternoon."

Zhao Guangyi ordered Gao Jing, Dai Sheng, Bao Zhao, and Liu Hao to withdraw.

Liu Qi was terrified and said hurriedly: "My Lord! Let's retreat to Dingzhou quickly! It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

Chai Yuxi was also panicked, but he was still calm and said: "It's too late to leave now. The Liao cavalry will arrive in less than two hours.We will be caught up if we can't reach Dingzhou."

Liu Qi said: "Defend the North City - no - no! The broken walls of the North City can't withstand the trampling of the Liao cavalry. The North City will be broken in less than an hour. Can't move, can't defend, what should we do?" Like ants on a hot pot, running around.

Chai Yuxi said: "What's the use of being anxious! Let's see what tricks Mr. Li Chen has to repel the enemy?"

Liu Qi sneered: "Haha! Do you think he is a god, he is Qingfeng Guomao? I'm afraid he has already escaped by now. ”

Zhao Guangyi had no good plan, so he had to try his best and rushed to the place where Feng Zan came from. Chai Yuxi and Liu Qi followed closely behind him. Without waiting for the servants to inform him, he jumped into the courtyard. Feng Zan walked slowly in the sun, holding a bronze mirror, while Yan Yun, Yuan Da and Ma Yin stood far away. Zhao Guangyi approached quickly and said, "Mr. Li Chen! Han Rang, the left governor of Liao State, led 5,000 cavalry and rushed to the north city in less than two hours - forget it! Today is the day when Zhao Guangyi, a member of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, died for his country. "Originally, he hurriedly came to ask Feng Zan for advice on how to repel the enemy, but he acted as if he was going through fire and water to sacrifice his life for his country.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Feng Zan saved the etiquette of master and servant, and said, "My lord! I know that Yan Yun has been back from Youzhou to investigate the enemy for a long time. ”

He was talking off topic, Zhao Guangyi didn’t know what to say.

Chai Yuxi tried his best to hide his panic and said: “Sir—Sir! You are so smart, you must have a good plan to repel the enemy.”

At this time, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao, Dai Xing, Li Jun, Fu Qian, Yang Mao, Mi Chao and others rushed in. Wang Zhao said: “Don’t be afraid, my lord! As long as I, Wang Dahan, am here, my lord is here! I will fight to the death and die in battle to repay the kindness of my lord’s parents.”

Feng Zan said slowly: “One after another, one ... ”

Feng Zan laughed out loud with a relaxed look, saying, "Haha! Han Rang's 5,000 cavalrymen are no better than 500 ants. I can turn them into ashes with just a breath."

This sentence made everyone present stunned for a long time. After a moment of silence, they came back to their senses. Gao Qiong was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out. He screamed, "Wow!" and shouted, "Feng Zan, you bastard! You dare to tease the lord when the situation is urgent. You are courting death!" He rushed forward and waved his fist to hit Feng Zan. Yan Yun stepped forward to block him and said, "Gao Qiong is a mess! Let my third brother finish his words."

Zhao Guangyi was skeptical about Feng Zan's words and said to Gao Qiong, "Back off, back off." He turned to Feng Zan and said, "I would like to hear your advice, sir."

Feng Zan said, "Lord, don't worry! The lord is blessed with great fortune and has the help of divine soldiers. He disciplined Han Rang's 5,000 rabble and made them return home in disgrace."

Zhao Guangyi said, "I would like to hear the details."

Feng Zan invited him into the living room. The other civil and military officials stood outside the hall and talked about it. Yang Mao was already frightened and tried to suppress his fear., listening to Feng Zan's confusing nonsense, he cursed: "Feng Zan is a pervert! He is really crazy, he thinks he is God, he is the God of Fire Guo Mao! Since this lunatic came to the Lord's carriage, when has he ever come up with a good idea? He is just a fool who eats and drinks for free!" to relieve the fear in his heart.

Yan Yun said: "Yang Mao, don't talk nonsense! Feng Zan is a great scholar invited by the lord."

Yang Mao said: "You have the nerve to defend that madman! If you hadn't deceived the lord with sweet words, how could the lord invite this big idiot! Yan Yun is a scoundrel! A complete traitor, for your pig-dog brother Feng Zan, you are willing to ruin the lord's great cause!"

Yan Yun said with straight eyebrows and angry eyes: "Yang Mao is filthy! You are slandering people!"

Yang Mao sneered and said, "You hit the pain point. I am slandering people, but I am not slandering people, but filthy beasts like you and Feng Zan!"

Yuan Da was already so angry that he stepped forward to grab Yang Mao, shouting: "Yang Mao is filthy! You are talking nonsense, grandpa will break your dog teeth!"

Fu Qian hurriedly grabbed Yuan Da. Yang Mao had no skills, and through eating, drinking, and building relationships, he made some bad friends, such as Fu Qian. Yang Mao retreated and said, "Yuan Da is simply a street rogue, who resorts to violence when he can't win an argument." Fu Qian and Yuan Da started to fight.

Chai Yuxi said, "Stop it! It's time to make trouble for the lord." Fu Qian and Yuan Da stopped.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi ordered the civil and military officials outside the hall to enter the hall to listen to his orders. The civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides, and Feng Zan also entered the left side. Zhao Guangyi sat down in the hall and said to Feng Zan: "May I ask Mr. Li Chen to make arrangements?"

Feng Zan said: "I am not very good at magic, thank you for your hard work, my lord."

Zhao Guangyi mustered up his courage but still lacked confidence, and said: "Just now, when I was chatting with Mr. Li Chen about magic, I remembered that Tingyi had learned the art of controlling the sky and communicating with gods from a hermit since he was a child. Today, I can use it. The Liao State's 5,000 soldiers are not enough for me to breathe." Then he dispatched all the civil and military officials, and everyone took the order and left. He also ordered Yan Yun to ride alone to the Liao State camp to issue a declaration of war.

Yan Yun rode out of the north gate of the north city in a civil official's uniform. He walked north for less than an hour and met the Liao State army heading towards the north city. He explained his intentions, and the Liao State soldiers led him to the central army to meet Han Rang, the left governor of Zhennan. Han Rang laughed "haha" after reading the declaration of war. The generals under his command were puzzled. The bold Yelu Ge asked: "General! What does Zhao Guangyi's war letter say?"

Han Rang said: "Now Zhao Guangyi can not only seek death, but also - he said that he has learned the magic of controlling the sky and communicating with the gods and has dispatched 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals from the North City to wait for this general. Haha! I think he is scared silly and crazy!" Another burst of laughter "Haha!" The generals under his command also laughed when they heard it.

Yelu Ge said: "General! Zhao Guangyi won't play any tricks, right?"

Han Rang said: "A mouse in a bellows can only sit and wait for death, what other tricks can it play!"

Yelu Ge said: "Could it be his delaying tactic to escape."

Han Rang said: "Escape, from the North City to Dingzhou, there are many mountains and gullies, and the mountain roads are rugged. He escaped from the North City in less than twoHe will be caught up by my whirlwind-like cavalry in ten miles."

Yelu Ge said: "The governor is really a talented general! He knows the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty very well. This time Zhao Guangyi can't escape. Congratulations to the governor! The emperor's brother of the Song Dynasty will become the governor's prisoner!"

Han Rang was proud of his victory and said: "Thinking back then, Zhao Guangyi was killed by me under the city of Youzhou and his entire army was annihilated. It was also his luck that he escaped. Today - haha!"

Han Rang's military advisor said: "The governor should not be careless! What if Zhao Guangyi summons the heavenly soldiers and generals? What should we do?"

Han Rang said: "Haha! Military advisor, you are also well-read in military books, and you actually believe in the heresy of pretending to be gods and cheating in the world! ”

The military advisor said: “Not quite. Back then, the great Song Dynasty scholar Guo Cunmi borrowed the Fire Dragon Soldiers to burn Youzhou City, and our Youzhou City fell without a fight.”

Han Rang said: “What Fire Dragon Soldiers burned Youzhou City? This governor does not believe it at all. It must be that Chen Mengyang, the incompetent defender of Youzhou, made up a lie to deceive the world. It is a big lie, a big lie!” Then he ordered Yan Yun to return to Beicheng to report, and led the army to kill Beicheng with great momentum. People cheered and horses neighed, the dust covered the sun, the Hujia shook the sky, and the iron hooves shook the earth.
