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

Although she was reluctant, but this time it was her fault, so she could only follow Lu Junyi's arrangement.

"If Cao Bin arrives in Hangzhou, let him come to see Ben Gong immediately, and say that the negotiation cannot be delayed forever, and Ben Gong is willing to back down!"

By this time, she had already given up on Fang La, so she might as well negotiate a peace treaty while he was not completely wiped out.

Maybe even a little cheaper.

It's just that when she thinks that Empress Dowager Xiao's private money has been wiped out by herself, she feels bad all over.

If my mother finds out, I don't know how to punish myself......

Thinking of this, she made up her mind to get as much money out of Cao Bin as possible.

Even if you back down on the Goryeo matter, you can't care less...

Three days later, Cao Bin rushed to Hangzhou City with a thousand cavalry guards and more than ten thousand soldiers gathered from various states.

Hearing that Yelv Avalokitesvara wanted to negotiate with him, Cao Bin knew what she was paying attention to, so he said:

"Princess, Cao is going to exterminate Fang La, how about waiting for this queen to come back?"

Yelv Avalokitesvara was shocked when he heard this, if Cao Bin wiped out Fang La, wouldn't he lose his bargaining chip?So he said:

"Where is it easy for Fang La to be wiped out in a hurry? Is this palace going to wait for you all the time?"

"You Song State didn't even fulfill the contract with last year's year coins, and you didn't appoint the rest of the envoys. Do you want to renege on your debts?"

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for looting your country, prefecture and county with the troops of Daliao. Get back the old coins yourself."

As he said that, he was about to leave.

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"It seems like the princess was the one who procrastinated at the beginning, but now she's in a hurry?"

Before Yelv Avalokitesvara could answer, Cao Bin continued:

"How about the princess waiting for half a month? If Cao can't destroy Fang La after half a month, there should be no further delay."

Although you can't show weakness to the Liao Kingdom, you can't persecute the Liao Kingdom too much. If you push the Liao Kingdom into a hurry, it will be troublesome.

At least now is not the time to be desperate.

When Yelu Guanyin slave heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said:

"It's a deal! I want to see with my own eyes how you can destroy Fang La within half a month."

Although Fang La is already poor, it is impossible to be wiped out in more than ten days. If Cao Bin is impatient, he might suffer a defeat.

Even if he can win, as long as he can't destroy Fang La, he will be in a passive position.

After making an agreement, Cao Bin didn't hesitate, and directly gathered [-] soldiers and rushed to Muzhou to kill them.

Now that Fang La's soldiers are blunt and their morale has declined, it is time for him to perish.

"Master Hou, the front is Wulong Ridge, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is the barrier to the northeast of Muzhou."

"The Manichean rebel Shi Bao is stationing here with [-] young men."

In just two days, Cao Bin led his troops to Wulongling along the Fuchun River, and captured Tonglu County along the way.

Looking at the steep mountain in front of him, Yelu Guanyinnu immediately felt relieved, and said with a smile:

"Honor Zhong Jing, don't forget the agreement!"

If this kind of pass is attacked by force, I don't know how many people will die. In the original book of Water Margin, Song Jiang also suffered heavy losses here, with countless casualties.

Cao Bin would never forcibly attack such a place in his life, so he ordered:

"Leave 1 people to camp at the foot of the mountain to block Shibao's exit, and the rest of the soldiers followed me to bypass Wulongling and head straight for Muzhou."

Those local generals were worried about being used as cannon fodder by Cao Bin to attack the mountain, but they were relieved immediately after hearing his order.

Yelv Guanyinnu was stunned, he never expected that he would dare to use troops like this, isn't he afraid of being cut off from the back and attacking back and forth?

And Cao Bin didn't pay attention to the field combat ability of Manichaeism at all.

Don't talk about attacking, even besieging him is not afraid!

Seeing that Cao Bin wanted to detour, Shi Bao hurriedly sent soldiers down the mountain to make a surprise attack, but was shot back by Cao Bin's random arrows.

Seeing Shi Bao retreating to the mountain in embarrassment, Cao Bin couldn't help laughing.

Since he wants to defend the mountain, let him squat on the mountain. When he captures Muzhou City, even if he doesn't attack, he can starve to death...

The current Fang Layuan has not reached the strength that swept the entire Jiangnan in the original book, so he was suppressed by Cao Bin.

Now that the three-way army is coming, Fang La even lost his hometown Qingxi County, leaving only three states and eight counties.

He gathered all the congregants in Muzhou, intending to fight Cao Bin to the death.

Now the east, west, and north are all controlled by the opponent. If Cao Bin is not defeated, he can only flee south and be driven to Lingnan or even to the sea.

He has great ambitions and will never allow himself to become a rogue.

Moreover, his roots are in Liangzhe, and he has a broad belief base. If he goes to Lingnan, it will be dozens of times more difficult to make a comeback.

Cao Bin will not give him this time.

"Lord Hou, Fang La gathered all the people who were kidnapped in Quzhou, Wuzhou and other counties into Muzhou City."

"There are always 30 people, and there are 8 or [-] young and old..."

When Cao Bin led his troops to Muzhou, Guan Sheng's East Route Army and Jiaozi's North Route Army also rushed to the city.

A total of [-] infantry from Jingxiang, [-] garrisons from various places in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, [-] troops trapped in the formation, and [-] tiger and leopard riders were gathered.

At this time, the spies were reporting the situation in Muzhou City.

Cao Bin was sitting in the commander-in-chief, with Yelu Guanyinnu and Hangzhou Zhizhou at the top of the left and right, while Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng and others sat in two rows on the small horses.

Before Cao Bin could speak, Hangzhou Zhizhou laughed and said:

"Fang La is indeed a short-sighted bandit. It will not last long to support so many people."

"As long as I wait to surround the city, within a month, I expect he will be in chaos without a fight. I congratulate Lord Hou in advance for killing the rebels..."

But Yelv Guanyinnu couldn't understand his immediate success, so he sneered and said:

"Maybe this is the food Fang La raised in captivity!"

Hearing the words, Hangzhou Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale and he said:

"This... bandits can be so cruel?"

Yelv Avalokitesvara glanced at Cao Bin and said:

"I hope that Zhong Jinghou will wipe out Fang La as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we send troops to Hebei from Daliao, your Song State will be attacked on both sides."

The governor of Hangzhou said nervously:

"What does the princess mean by this? Didn't Song and Liao have already ceased fighting? Are they going to start a war?"

Seeing that he was serious, Cao Bin was a little speechless, but smiled at Yelu Guanyinnu:

"The princess has been threatening to send troops, this marquis will inevitably take it seriously."

"A few days ago, I wrote letters to my Majesty and General Yang Zongbao, suggesting that General Yang send troops to plunder the Liao Kingdom to retaliate."

"I hope that when the time comes, the princess will not regret her words..."

Yelv Avalokitesvara sneered and said disdainfully:

"I'll just see if you, the emperor and minister of the Great Song Dynasty, have the courage..."

Just as he was talking, the soldiers came to report:

"Lord Hou, the people were driven out of the city by the rebels, and they are rushing towards the camp."

Everyone was shocked, Hangzhou Zhizhou even jumped up and said:

"Quick, block them, don't let them break into the camp!"

Regardless of whether these people were forced to coerce or were true Manichaeists, as long as they stormed the barracks, it would be treason, and there would be no mercy.

A series of crossbow arrows went down and directly shot thousands of people to death. These people never dared to approach the barracks again.

Fang La and others on the city wall shook their heads and said:

"The officers and soldiers are really ruthless, there is no chance, close the city gate!"

There are no Manichaeists among these people, they are all coerced.

There are too many people, most of them are old and weak, which is not only not good for defending the city, but also consumes too much food and grass.

That's why they let the people out of Muzhou to see if they could create chaos and bring favorable opportunities.

Even if it doesn't work for the war, you have to disgust the officers and soldiers.

With so many people, if they were all killed, they would be hated by the people in Jiangnan.

If you don't kill them, you have to consume food and grass for them.

Lu Junyi and others also thought about this problem, and after ordering the soldiers to choose a place to guard these people, they suggested:

"Master Hou, it's better to move these people to the rear."

Hangzhou Zhizhou quickly shook his head and said:

"No, hundreds of thousands of refugees have entered the place, and it is difficult to restrain them. Once there is chaos, the consequences will be disastrous."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"It stands to reason that these people are also traitors, and it's not too much to kill them. It's better to send them back to their original places..."

Most of these people are from Quzhou and Wuzhou, and they are not under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou anyway.

Guan Sheng and the others couldn't help grinning when they heard the words, everyone could understand this guy's abacus through their stomachs.

Speaking of which, these people were not killed, but they were robbed of food by Fang La, and they might starve to death before returning to their hometown.

At that time, the blame will be Cao Bin's, and it will have nothing to do with him as the magistrate of Hangzhou.

Cao Bin waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Why is it so troublesome? This Marquis is about to conscript labor."

"Let them stay in front of the army for the time being."

The governor of Hangzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. No matter what Cao Bin decides, as long as these people are not moved to Hangzhou, it has nothing to do with him.

Even if the army was defeated without food, it was Cao Bin's responsibility.

Guan Sheng hastily said:

"Master Hou, our army's food and grass are only enough for one month. If we supply the people, we may run out of food and grass in seven or eight days."

Cao Bin waved his hands and said:

"It's okay, let Ding Zhizhou speed up the delivery of food."

Hangzhou Zhizhou was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and hurriedly said:

"Master Hou, I have no food in Hangzhou."

Cao Bin immediately changed his face and said angrily:

"Suppressing the rebels is the official business of the imperial court. As the front line of suppressing the bandits, Hangzhou should provide food and grass for the army."

"How can you shirk your responsibility? Does Ding Zhizhou want this Marquis to exercise military law?"

The governor of Hangzhou was speechless for a moment. Damn, he went around and went around, but the responsibility still fell on himself, so he had to hold his nose and agree.

Cao Bin had already defeated Fang La within a few days, so he didn't worry about food at all.

But he will not let go of the opportunity to get more food from Hangzhou for his own disposal.

At that time, even if there is surplus food, he will not return it to Hangzhou Zhizhou.

Yelv Avalokitesvara saw this, his eyes flickered and he said:

"Zhong Jinghou won't use these people to consume Fang La's strength, will he?"

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"The princess doesn't need to care about that."
