Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"Quickly serve Master Hou!"

See the little eunuchs put on Lun scarves, put on Hechang, and hold feather fans for themselves.

Cao Bin saluted deeply, looked south and bowed, with tears in his eyes, he said:

"Your Majesty's kindness, I will never repay a minister in case of death."

Although most of his attitude was pretended, but he was really touched.

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly helped Cao Bin up, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty asked our family to send a message to Lord Hou."

"Your Majesty, feel free to do whatever you want, even if His Majesty is really used as a bait, it's okay to speak out."

"In addition, His Majesty said that after the triumphant return, the eldest daughter of Lord Marquis will be conferred the title of Earl."

After finishing speaking, he resigned Cao Bin's gift and took him away.

As for Cao Bin, he has long wanted to make friends, how could he be greedy for a little money?

Seeing that the emperor sent someone to reward the Yang family daughter, she was relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling a little pantothenic.

The third mother of the Yang family even muttered:

"The official family thinks of you as their own son. My Yang family was born and died for Da Song, and I have never seen him put so much effort into it."

Cao Bin shook his feather fan with a smile, pretending he didn't hear it, turned it around, and said triumphantly:

"Is this Hou handsome?"

Fortunately, she said that in front of her, otherwise she would inevitably be reported.

In the past two years, Cao Bin told Huangfu Xiaoyi some stories of the Three Kingdoms of later generations, and asked him to compile them into plays and sing them, but they did not form a system.

When he returns to Beijing this time, he intends to copy out the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and carefully manage his own character design.

Bajie Yang's eyes were shining, she nodded quickly, touched his sleeve and said:

"What kind of fabric is this? It looks very gorgeous."

San Niang said speechlessly:

"Fortunately, you are still a woman, and you can't even tell the difference between Shu brocade."

All of a sudden, all the generals offered their flattery one after another.

Although Cao Bin was delighted, he also knew that the emperor's gift was not easy to take.

The emperor was so careful, he should have guessed Cao Bin's original plan, and rewarding gifts might not be an expression of shame.

Now that the emperor has expressed his intentions, he must of course express himself.

Otherwise, wouldn't you be ignorant of good and evil?

"All right!"

Cao Bin waved his hand, stopped the crowd, returned to his handsome position and said solemnly:

"Since the plan to lure the enemy fails, we have to think of other strategies. If you have a clever plan, please come forward."

All the generals also became serious and made their own plans.

Cao Bin listened for a long time, saw that there was no obvious strategy, so he directly stated his plan:

"This marquis intends to fight the Liao army!"

Everyone panicked and said quickly:

"Think twice, Lord Hou, the Liao army is best at field battles."

"If we want to fight, it will be very difficult for us to defeat them."

Mu Guiying also nodded and said:

"Cao Bin, don't be impulsive. I will fight against the Liao army. It is really hard to win."

"What's more, our army's strength is slightly inferior to that of the Liao people."

Now the Song Army in Dingzhou has only 7 people. If the defenders are removed, there are only more than 6 people who can be used.

However, the Liao army has 8 people, and most of them are elites. It will be a disadvantage if they fight.

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"It's not because of the whim."

"It's just that the Liao people are swimming behind our army, there must be a conspiracy."

"For the current plan, only by quickly defeating the main force of the Liao army can they have nothing to do."

As the saying goes, if you hit with one punch, you will avoid a hundred punches.

Instead of guessing the opponent's conspiracy, guarding against the enemy's secret moves, and being led by the nose by the enemy, it is better to take the initiative to attack and let them be busy saving themselves.

Cao Bin was not good at fighting wits and courage, and he felt that he was not a master of playing tricks, but he understood the simplest truth.

That is to take the initiative.

It takes too much brains to crack other people's schemes?It is never better to let others decipher your own schemes.

Then he said:

"Half a month ago, I secretly ordered people to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Tang River to store water."

"You guys calculate it, see what the winning rate is, and make a complete plan."

The third mother of the Yang family shook her head and said, "The Tang River has little water, so I'm afraid it won't pose a threat."

The Tang River is originally a small river, and its flow is even smaller in winter. It is basically impossible to attack the enemy with floods.

Cao Bin laughed and said, "I didn't mean to attack the enemy with water, this time I want to attack the enemy with ice."

Although the lack of water will not cause much harm, in the cold winter months, when dripping water turns into ice, it can transform dozens of miles nearby into ice land, and abolish the cavalry of the Liao army.

Even if Yeluren defended tightly first, Cao Bin would forcefully tear him open.

The third mother of the Yang family looked at Cao Bin in surprise and said:

"No wonder you let the people make skateboards and nailed clogs, and sent many scouts to exhaust the enemy."

"It turns out that the current situation has been expected for a long time? It really has the demeanor of Marquis Wu."

How could Cao Bin have expected so much, he was just prepared.

And in order to cover up this plan, he sent out Qingqi to harass and kill Liao's scout horses in turn, which already made Yeluren suspicious, so he couldn't delay it any longer.

The winner must be decided quickly before the Liao people reacted.

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed, and it was approaching the New Year's Eve.

In the camp of the Liao army.

Emperor Liao was already a little anxious, and said to Yeluren first:

"Marshal Ren Xian, the time has dragged on for too long."

"If the confrontation continues, I'm afraid it will cause domestic unrest."

Yeluren pondered for a while, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. According to the prediction of my humble minister, the enemy will be defeated in just a few days."

The emperor can be in a hurry, but he must not be in a hurry, otherwise he will be in a mess.

At this time, the spies suddenly came to report:

"Your Majesty, Marshal, the Song Army is celebrating the Zhengdan Festival in the city."

As he said that, there was also a little longing in his eyes. It had been more than half a year since the expedition, and it was the festive season, and the Song and Liao armies were all homesick.

Yeluren heard the words first, and hurriedly said:

"I'll see for myself."

After he confirmed the situation in Dingzhou, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Even so, the army should not be careless, and must be on duty seriously."

Confronting Cao Bin puts a lot of pressure on him.

Different from Cao Bin's self-feeling, he is extremely afraid of Cao Bin. The opponent not only uses troops strictly and flawlessly, but also uses strange tricks.

The Liao army was tricked many times, which made him terrified, lest the other party would come up with some tricks and cause the Liao army to lose troops and generals.

Therefore, it has been regarded as a lifelong enemy.

In fact, Cao Bin doesn't manage military affairs very much at all, and the reason why he seldom reveals his flaws is because he has self-knowledge.

On weekdays, the troops are managed by those who are proficient in military affairs, and many generals have been gathered to check for gaps and make up for omissions, and assist the command.

For every action, let everyone sort out the information and improve the plan together, which is equivalent to a staff department.

Yeluren first seemed to be fighting against Cao Bin, but he was actually fighting against the collective wisdom of a dozen people.

That's why he's under so much pressure.

These days, the Song army harassed him day and night, making Yeluren overwhelmed by the disturbance, but he didn't dare to relax completely.

Now that Song Jun is celebrating the new year, he should be able to sleep well.

Soon after nightfall, the sky began to snow.

In the middle of the night, the sound of rushing water suddenly resounded through the barracks.

In his sleep, Yeluren suddenly felt heart palpitations, got up and listened quietly for a while and asked quickly:

"What's going on, why is there the sound of water?"

While speaking, he suddenly woke up, yelled, jumped off the bed and shouted:

"Quickly wake up the soldiers to prepare for battle."

Just at this moment, the military camp of the Liao Kingdom has become the Kingdom of Ze.

Yeluren felt a chill in his heart at first, and hurriedly said:

"Be careful of the enemy attacking the camp, and defend carefully."

In this regard, he is not too worried, because he has already prepared.

The big tent leather room army and the subordinate Shan army took turns to guard. Once the enemy attacked the camp, they would immediately intercept and kill them with iron cavalry.

But what surprised him was that the sky was bright, and Song Jun didn't come.

The soldiers were on guard all night, and only then relaxed a little.

Just as Yeluren was thinking about the enemy's plan, the soldiers rushed to report:

"Marshal, the Song army has left the city."

Yeluren hurriedly climbed up to the wall of the village and looked around.

Seeing overnight, as far as he could see, there were glacial ice surfaces all around him, his face turned pale and his heart was cold.

He already knew about Cao Bin's plan...

In the distance of the camp, countless "iron tackles" were lined up in three rows, and their ferocious sharp-edged carts were aimed at the Liao Army Dazhai.

Yeluren turned pale with shock, but before he could react, those iron tackles started to run faster and faster.

Countless ice shards flew randomly on the ice surface, and only heard a few loud bangs, and the heavy iron cart crashed into the Liao army camp.

Yeluren only felt his feet sway, and a soldier shouted:

"The wall is about to fall!"

Seeing that the second row of iron cars had already started, Yeluren was about to order to resist, when a soldier panicked to report:

"The marshal is not good. I'll wait until the horse can't ride, and I'll fall down as soon as I run."

He looked back and saw the war horses in the camp crawling cautiously on the ice like a dog in the water.

Some tried to get up, but were immediately slipped so that their limbs were split apart, and they fell to the ground, more embarrassing than others.
