The Legend of Stealing Horses and Golden Guns

In the era of war, good people and good steel are used wisely.

---- Tsangyang Gyatso

The east is white, the cold moon is hidden, and the sky is already bright.

Yang Yanshun rode his horse out of the Wulei Palace and came to the street, where he could see the Liao army with ferocious faces everywhere he looked.They held swords or spears in their hands, and each swing took away an innocent life. Perhaps in their eyes, what they killed was not a person at all, but a wooden stake that they practiced on weekdays.Immediately, he stood in the middle of the street and looked around, as if he was in Asura's slaughterhouse.

A tattered-dressed woman with a frightened face ran towards Yang Yanshun, stretching out her right hand to grab him, as if seeking shelter, Yang Yanshun hurriedly lowered her body and reached out to help him.The woman suddenly trembled and stayed where she was, with her mouth open and unable to make a sound, her face full of pain.Yang Yanshun looked bewildered, and immediately looked over, only to see a Liao soldier behind her with a big spear stabbing her in the back of the heart.The Liao soldier had a dirty smile on his face, without a trace of hesitation, he pulled the big gun back, and the woman fell to the ground, with her eyes open, trying to get off Yang Yanshun's horse, but finally lay on the ground, motionless.

Yang Yanshun took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that this woman died in his hands. She crawled towards him in the end, maybe she was asking for a debt from him!When he was frightened, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a child hiding behind the door of a dilapidated shop on the street.The child's immature face was full of fear, and he tried to hide himself completely behind the door, and he moved cautiously behind the door.Yang Yanshun got off his horse and walked forward, shouting: "Come on! Come to Uncle, Uncle will protect you! Don't be afraid!"

The child didn't seem to understand the meaning of Yang Yanshun's words, but ran into the shop even more frightened, and ran into a person's leg just after running two steps.The man was a Liao soldier, all in armor, holding the shopkeeper's head in his left hand, and the steel knife in his right hand was still dripping blood.Blood dripped on the child's face, and the child looked up at Liao Bing blankly.The latter has a look of disdain, raising the knife and dropping it without any emotion.

When Yang Yanshun rushed to the door of the store, the child had already fallen into a pool of blood, and there was no fear on his little face, instead, his eyes were full of emptiness, and his soul had left his body.

That Liao soldier walked in front of Yang Yanshun, knelt down on the ground, and said harshly, "My lord, you are here!"

Yang Yanshun smiled miserably, and only said one sentence, "Give me the knife."

"Yes!" Liao Bing respectfully handed the saber forward, Yang Yanshun took the steel saber and slashed down.Finally, the knife was also stained with the blood of the Khitan people, and when it fulfilled its mission, it was broken by Yang Yanshun.

"Brother Yeluxiu, I really should let you see with your own eyes what your subordinates are doing. Hmph, maybe I learned all of this from you!" Yang Yanshun led his horse along the street, and scenes were unfolding around him. The brutal massacre, but he himself said to himself, "Is this really his soldier? Maybe he just ordered others to do it, and he has never done it himself?" Yang Yanshun shook his head again: "Oh, how ridiculous , I’m still blaming him.” In the distance, the figure of the Salad Golden Wolf is like a butcher, with a large killing ax in his hand, and the crowd in front of him is like bloody meat on a chopping board, allowing him to be slaughtered.

When Yang Yanshun reached the city gate, the massacre was over.Looking back, there are piles of corpses.Yang Yanshun stared blankly, in his eyes there were only dead corpses, but some corpses were lying on the ground with their eyes wide open; some corpses were standing with steel knives and smiling faces; on, cheering.

The sun on the desert seemed unwilling to witness the massacre, and never showed up, replaced by black clouds all over the sky.The rain on the desert has always come in this season. Even though there was a massacre here today, even though Wulei Country is not as peaceful as it used to be, the last rain in autumn still arrived as expected, bringing a touch of humidity to the Western Regions.However, it brought Yang Yanshun an even more unbearable shock.

The rain on the desert came quickly and violently. In an instant, the torrential rain poured down, and blood flowed into rivers in Wulei City.Two rivers of blood mixed with broken corpses and arms flowed along both sides of the street towards the city gate. Yang Yanshun was standing under the city gate, and the blood flowed over the top of his boots and flowed out of the city.

"Even if I didn't kill anyone, I would still be soaked by the bloody smell of this dirty man, hehe... Did I really not kill someone?" Yang Yanshun sighed, the rain fell into his mouth, but it seemed to be the entrance of blood on the ground Generally, bloody and bitter.Yang Yanshun felt his stomach tumbling, and lay on the city wall retching, but he couldn't vomit anything, his feet went limp, and he fell into the blood.

At this time, a person rushed down from the top of the wall, quickly ran to Yang Yanshun, quickly helped him up, and said in a mournful voice: "My Lord Yang, why are you doing this?"

Yang Yanshun was covered in blood, turned his head and saw a person standing in the rain, it was Mistoha.

Mistoha said: "Master Yang, I know what you think in your heart. You came out of the palace, and I saw clearly from the top of the city that you walked all the way. I know you are uncomfortable, but this is war! Since ancient times, there is no one who will die in war. Human? Don't hurt your body, it's not worth it!"

Yang Yanshun snorted coldly, and pushed Mistoha away: "Go away!" Then he staggered and ran out of the city, and vomited on the sand under the heavy rain. It's the blood that can't be shaken off.Yang Yanshun wished he could vomit his stomach out before giving up, and then took off his coat and let the rain beat him with his bare chest, just wanting to wash away his sins.

Mistoha hid under the city gate and did not dare to get close, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, he turned his head and saw that it was a jade unicorn with a sloppy face, and Yeluxiu with a frosty face was hunched on his back, followed by Ali Haiya and Ali Tie Tooth and others.Mistoha quickly knelt down on the ground, "I have seen Da Tiyin and all the adults!"

Brother Yeluxiu didn't look at him at all, he rode out of the city and went straight to Yang Yanshun.When he got close, he was about to curse, but he saw Yang Yanshun's scars all from what he had done, and he softened his heart, and asked: "Yang Balang, I ordered the massacre of the city, and I will bear the guilt alone. Why do you spoil yourself so much?"

Yang Yanshun closed his eyes tightly, and didn't make any answer, just asked half a word: "Why did you lie to me?"

Brother Yeluxiu really couldn't answer this question. At first, he just said it casually, but later he considered that he came here this time to deter the countries of the Western Regions. How can he scare the people of the Western Regions if he doesn't make a big noise.But Yang Balang tried his best to prevent him from massacring the city, so why would he tell him that he was making fun of himself, so he issued a secret order to Ali Haiya.Thinking about it now, what I did was forced by the situation, and it wasn't a wrong move, but after all, I broke my promise to him, and I feel a little guilty, especially seeing Yang Yanshun's behavior like this, it seems that he is really sad.Thinking of this, he dismounted from his horse, helped Yang Yanshun himself, and said softly, "It's raining heavily, shall we go back to the city first?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Yanshun pushed him away: "Go away! I won't go back! That's not where people stay, you have to go back by yourself!"

Brother Yeluxiu also became angry when he heard this, and stood in the rain and cursed: "Yang Balang! I try to persuade you with good words, but I don't know what to do. Can your benevolence, righteousness and morality be used to fight? Let me tell you, I, Yeluxiu Brother Xiu never regrets what he does. If there is no thunder, the city will be slaughtered. I will still fight without a Chinese army staff officer, and I will occupy a city and slaughter a city!"

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and went back to the city, but he also ordered: "Ali Tieya, pitch him a tent outside the city, since he doesn't want to come back, let him stay outside!"

Ali Tie Ya responded, and quickly asked his soldiers to set up tents.I wanted to stay and take care of my starling, but as a general, I had a task to do, so I didn't dare to stay outside the city without Da Tiyin's approval.If he arranges for other soldiers, he himself is not at ease, and is worried, suddenly someone volunteered: "Master Tie Ya, the younger one is willing to take care of Master Yang."

Ali Tieya looked up and saw two rows of big yellow dies. He knew who they were without thinking, "Can you take care of them?"

"This...Although I dare not guarantee it, I can comfort Mr. Yang!" Mistoha said seriously.

Ali Tieya thought to himself: Starling also needs someone to talk to him and enlighten him, so let Mistoha try.He said: "Then you can stay with mynah! Take good care of it, if mynah makes a mistake, I'll take your skin off!"

Mistoha: "Yes! Lord Iron Fang, please rest assured!"

☆, under the butcher's knife

It was raining heavily, and a tent was set up outside Wulei City. Yang Yanshun lay on the army couch and fell asleep.Mistoha sat at the door of the tent, looking at the continuous rain outside the tent, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "This Master Yang is really different, it's the first time I've seen someone with a compassionate heart on the battlefield after so many years. He doesn't look like a Khitan, he should be from the Central Plains, and his relationship with Brother Yeluxiu seems to be not normal, could it be... Tsk tsk, the world of a big man is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like me. Oh! Who hit me !" "What's the noise!"

"Hey...Master Yang, you are awake!" Mistoha turned around and picked up the military boots and put them back in front of the army couch, and continued: "Master Yang, you fell into a coma just now. pitched a tent, and we're out of town now."

"Outside the city... Mistoha, why are you here?" Yang Yanshun sat up and asked.

Mistohar: "The little one is left to take care of you, my lord."

"Oh? Take care of me?" Yang Yanshun couldn't help smiling wryly, why did he leave this person to take care of me, "Then go and find me some clean clothes, I can't just stay topless like this."

Mistoha stomped his feet: "Oh! Let me forget about it, I'll go get it now," said Mistoha, putting on the bamboo hat, turned around and left the tent, and ran into the city in the rain. Yang Yanshun smiled wryly when he saw it.Not long after, Mistoha came back against the rain, "My lord, here are the clothes, you can put them on!"

Yang Yanshun took the clothes and put them on, feeling much better, and heard Mistoha ask: "Master Yang, what's the matter with your injuries? Why are there scars all over your body? It hurts even when I look at it, you must Have you suffered a lot?"

"Bitter? Compared to my dead brothers, compared to those corpses in the city, am I still suffering? Even if it is bitter, who can I tell?" Yang Yanshun lowered his head and smiled wryly.

Mistoha grinned: "Master Yang, you can tell me!"

Yang Yanshun looked up at Mistoha in front of him: "With you?"

Mistoha: "That's right, tell me! You can tell me if you have any unhappiness, worries, or even difficulties in your heart. Don't look at me, Mistoha, with a big mouth, but I am serious, and I will wait until you finish the battle I’m going back, and I’m also going back to my country of Hami, and we won’t see each other when the time comes, so you don’t have to…don’t be embarrassed.”

After hearing this, Yang Yanshun thought to himself: What he said is also right. I have been captured in Beiguo, and I have no friends. I can't say anything to my fourth brother. Some things have been kept in my heart for a long time.It would be a good thing if it could be said.Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, I'll tell you. My name is Yang Yanshun, originally from the Song Dynasty, and I live in Bianliang, Tokyo. Later, when the Song and Liao wars broke out, my whole family went out with the army, and my father and brothers all died in the battle. I was captured by Brother Yeluxiu and brought back to the Liao Kingdom. I abandoned the country to join the enemy and became the deacon of Pingzhang in the Liao Kingdom. Now I am the staff officer of Brother Yeluxiu’s Chinese army and went to the Western Regions with him. The injury is all thanks to him."

Mistoha didn't say anything after hearing this, but just sat there and looked at Yang Yanshun.

Yang Yanshun continued: "Brother Yeluxiu and I agree in love, and we will help him lower his fierce horse in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, and help him put down the rebellion between the two kings. He will bring few soldiers to the Western Regions. I am afraid that he will lose, so I accompany him here He also intends to bring me to war. But I don’t want him to be too hostile and murderous, but I am the opposite of him. I don’t want him to kill innocent people. How can I bear the butcher knife! As a Song person, I first abandoned my country and surrendered to the enemy, which is disloyal; The Liao army made plans to harm the people of the Western Regions, this is unrighteous! I have done all the unfaithful, filial and unrighteous things, and I can't wash away my sins."

After hearing this, Mistoha was silent for a while and said: "Master Yang, you don't have to blame yourself. In the years of war, there is no such thing as loyalty, honesty or shame, there is no absolute right and evil, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. Also, Who among us does not bear sins? You have sins, Lord Tiyin also bears them, Empress Dowager Xiao bears them, King Xiye bears them, and even I, the little emissary, also bears them. To be honest I stole dogs when I was three, sheep when I was five, set my neighbor’s tent on fire when I was eight, watched women take a bath when I was 15, sold cattle and sheep, evaded taxes, and I have killed people before, but now I am sitting in front of you and talking to you! People in the Central Plains often say: good people have good rewards, but do good people really have good rewards? I, King Hami, is the best, but Isn't it also oppressed by the Quartet? Although the people in the city are innocent, you can't guarantee that you won't kill them, and they won't hate you. There is a saying in the Western Regions: Only when a person is under the butcher's knife will he show his innocent face Otherwise, they are all wolves in human clothing!"

Yang Yanshun felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but what Mistoha said was reasonable and he couldn't refute it, especially the last sentence, which made him wake up like a dream, and was savoring it in his heart, when suddenly he saw a person walking into the tent, flirting Dressed in a battle skirt, divided into armor leaves, he lifted his tail and knelt down on the ground: "The last general came uninvited, I hope Master Yang will forgive me!"

Yang Yanshun raised his eyes and saw the man kneeling in front of him with his ears facing his arms, his tiger eyes gleaming, his nose as high as a peak, two thick lips, three tiger whiskers under his chin, wearing a silver-winged helmet with the word "handsome" on his head, and wearing a Zijin Daye Lianhuanjia, imposing and majestic, is exactly the Tang Jingnian of Youqianhu.

Yang Yanshun hurriedly got off the army couch, helped Tang Jingnian up, and said, "Brother Tang, please get up quickly, why are you so polite in private, just like Brother Chu and others, just call me Brother Yang!"

Tang Jingnian stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yang, the general admires you from the bottom of his heart, and dare not do anything wrong!"

Yang Yanshun felt quite helpless, Tang Jingnian was different from Chu Fengguan and the others, he was well-read in military literature, had plans in mind, and had a restrained personality, didn't like to make publicity, behaved in a well-behaved manner, and won Yeluxiu's respect.What's more, he was originally from Song Dynasty.

"Brother Tang, I don't know why you came here?" Yang Yanshun asked.

Tang Jingnian: "Master Yang, Lord Tiyin gave me a command arrow and ordered me to take three thousand cavalry to attack Puli and Pishan. The general does not know how to fight. I hope Lord Yang can give me some advice."

"Let's talk about it in detail!" Yang Yanshun regained his energy when he heard about the war, and let go of all the difficulties in his heart.

Tang Jingnian: "Puli and Pishan are next to each other, less than [-] miles away from here. The strength of the two countries is not even as good as that of Xiuxun, but they are attached to Nandou Kingdom, located outside Nandou, like two barriers of Nandou. The hidden meaning is to let me destroy these two barriers, and his next step is to capture Nandou. However, how will he destroy the two countries at the same time with [-] cavalry?"

Yang Yanshun thought that this matter was simple, just when he wanted to speak, he hesitated, looked into Tang Jingnian's eyes and said, "Brother Tang, do you really not know how to fight?"

Tang Jingnian blushed, and hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, my lord, the general has a plan in mind, but he is not sure whether he will win. I am afraid that if the attack fails, he will startle the enemy and bring trouble to lord Tiyin, so I come here to ask you for advice."

Yang Yanshun chuckled, and said, "Brother Tang, do you know why Da Tiyin sent you to attack Puli and Pishan instead of Chu Fengguan or Salud Golden Wolf?" "I don't know the end!"

Yang Yanshun: "Because both Da Tiyin and I believe that you have the ability to take over the two countries! Brother Tang, you are talented, but you lack the experience of commanding operations alone, so you must seize this opportunity and make your name known." Come on! Da Tiyin has always hoped that you can take care of him and share his worries!"

"Thank you, Lord Yang, for your kind words. The general has understood, so I will leave!" After finishing speaking, he got up and left the tent, but turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yang, the general is also from the Song Dynasty, and I know your difficulties, but As a general, with heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, sometimes he has to do things against his will, and I hope you will forgive me."

Yang Yanshun smiled wryly, didn't speak, just looked at the rain outside the tent and waved his hands, Tang Jingnian turned and left.A sigh came from inside the tent: "There will be two more empty cities."

The author has something to say: please collect it!comment!Guidance! ! !Thanks to the generals of the border customs!Thanks again!

☆, Divide up and fight

Rain is still falling.

In the tent, Yang Yanshun was thinking about something, when suddenly another group of Liao army came out from the city, the leading general went out of the city and went straight to the tent.

The horse approached, turned over and got off, "Brother Yang teach me!"

Yang Yanshun looked up and saw that it was Chu Fengguan who came, and he couldn't help asking: "Brother Chu, what do you want me to teach you?"

Chu Fengguan walked into the big tent and said, "Lord Tiyin gave me three hundred infantry to scatter in the desert the soldiers who burned Xiuxun, destroyed the [-] allied troops of Had Niuwen, and slaughtered Wulei City." News. But it’s raining heavily in this vast desert, where can I spread the news?”

"Did Brother Yeluxiu tell you to come to me?" Yang Yanshun asked back.

Chu Fengguan: "Yes! Da Tiyin said that if I don't know what to do, I will ask you to come to me!"

"Brother Chu, go back, I don't know what to do, I'd better ask Brother Yeluxiu!" Yang Yanshun closed his eyes, knowing but not telling you.

Chu Fengguan didn't leave after hearing this, but smiled: "Hey, it's the same as what Da Tiyin said, he said that you will never tell me! He also said that you will let me go back to him!"

"Oh? What else did he say?" Yang Yanshun opened his eyes and asked.

Chu Fengguan: "He also said that you are the staff officer of the Chinese army. If you don't tell me, let my command arrow order you to tell." He took out a command arrow from his arms, "Staff Yang, tell me, What should I do?"

"You should die!" Yang Yanshun was full of displeasure, and asked again: "Mistoha, which one is closer to this place, Yinai, Jumi, Humi, or Zhu Jubo?"

When Mistoha heard this, he quickly replied: "Yinai Kingdom is a vassal of Wuchao Kingdom, and it is far away from here. Zhu Jubo is even further away, west of Xiye. Only the two countries of Jumi and Humi are closer. Twenty-five miles from here, just to the southwest."

After hearing this, Yang Yanshun said to Chu Fengguan: "Have you heard that, go to the two countries of Jumi and Humi."

"But I only have [-] infantry, I'm afraid I can't beat them!" Chu Fengguan worried.

Yang Yanshun let out a long sigh. The gap between this person and Tang Jingnian was too great. No wonder he was only a Zuoqianhu for so long. He said helplessly, "I didn't ask you to lead soldiers to fight, but I asked you to take [-] infantry and dress up in disguise." , and then spread the word. Got it?"

"Hehe! I understand! Master Tiyin is right, you must have a solution!" After speaking, he turned around and left the big tent, and went straight to the two countries of Jumi and Humi with [-] infantry.

Sitting in the tent, Yang Yanshun thought to himself: Brother Yeluxiu, if I don’t enter the city, you will treat me as a big tent of the Chinese army, come to ask me about everything, and say that you can still fight without a staff officer, huh, duplicity guy.It seems that the rain is about to stop. Once the rain stops, it is time to start. "Mistoha, pack up your things, we are leaving!"

"Let's go? Where are you going? Go back to the city?" Mistoha asked after hearing the words.

Yang Yanshun sighed again, why can't I have someone smarter beside me, and explained helplessly: "Chu Fengguan is going to spread the news, and soon everyone in the Western Regions will know that the Liao army has arrived. The battle will also become difficult, and this place is not safe anymore, there is no need to stay in this empty city."

"Oh, but why did Lord Tiyin spread the news? Wouldn't it be better not to tell them and then carry out a surprise attack?" Mistorha asked.

Yang Yanshun continued to explain: "The success of these two raids all depended on chance and coincidence. I'm afraid there will be no such a good opportunity next time, and wars can't all rely on surprise raids. There is a saying in the art of war: attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the mind is the top. General The Liao army wiped out the two countries with lightning speed, and the news spread that they wiped out [-] allied troops in the Western Regions, which was enough to deter the countries in the Western Regions. There will be an absolutely firm covenant, and sometimes the so-called covenant is actually just a scrap of paper.”

Mistohar repeatedly said yes, and said: "You are so right, I knew that these princes and kings in the desert only think about themselves!"

Yang Yanshun didn't say a word, who in this world doesn't just think about himself?

The rain has stopped.

Lei Wucheng was washed clean, there was no trace of blood on the street, only corpses that had been whitened by the rain, and there was a disgusting smell of blood in the air, Yang Yanshun couldn't help frowning, "Brother Yeluxiu , you can actually sit still in such a city, if you don't come out, I won't go in, let's see who admits defeat first!"

Sure enough, as Yang Yanshun expected, as soon as the rain stopped, a large group of people came out of the city. The leader of the group was Ali Tieya, and they arrived before they arrived, "Mynah!"

"My dear brother, you are here, are we leaving?" Yang Yanshun asked with a smile.

Ali Tieya said in amazement: "Brother, do you know all about it? Have you cleaned up? We are indeed leaving!"

Yang Yanshun stood in front of the tent, looked around, and asked, "However, why don't there seem to be enough people?"

"Isn't it enough? The soldiers I ordered personally, four thousand cavalry, one is not a lot!" Ali Tieya replied.

Yang Yanshun: "Four thousand cavalry?"

Ali Tieya was stunned, took out a command arrow from his bosom, and explained: "Master Tiyin asked me to be your lieutenant general. We will bring four thousand cavalry with us, and we will fight with us after Tang Jingnian destroys Puli and Pishan. Gather together, and then directly attack Nandou Country!"

"What about Brother Yeluxiu? Sit in the city and wait for us to return in triumph?" Yang Yanshun asked.

Ali Tieya: "Master Tiyin will not stay here either, he will take the rest of the soldiers to attack Wuchao Kingdom."

"What? Divide the army to fight? It's too risky, no!" Yang Yanshun strongly objected.

Ali Tieya looked at Yang Yanshun and said nothing.Yang Yanshun also knew that his objection would not have much effect, "He must not want to see me now, right? Even if I go to the city to persuade him now."

Ali Tieya: "Based on what I know about Lord Tiyin, this is the case. He just wants to prove that he can do without you."

Yang Yanshun smiled lightly, with a look of helplessness on his face: "Let's go now!"

The desert after the heavy rain can also be marched, perhaps this is also the advantage of the desert, at least it will not be as muddy as the land, Yang Yanshun thought as he rode on the moon-lanning horse.

"How long will it take us to arrive?" Yang Yanshun asked.

Mistoha caught up from behind and said: "Master Yang, if you go to Puli and Pishan, it won't take long, it will only take a stick of incense, just pass the sandy slope in front of you."

Yang Yanshun complied, and then said to Ali Tieya: "Order the whole army to speed up!"

With the general order, four thousand iron horses rode like flying, and it didn't take long to climb the sand slope. Yang Yanshun reined in the horse, and saw that the other side of the sand slope was relatively low, and there was a green field not far away. The tents of Pishan and the two countries are now dilapidated, and the Liao army can be seen from a distance.With such a large area of ​​green land in such a desert, it seems that the Puli and Pishan countries must have taught other countries to be rich, and the difficult country they depended on must also be stronger.

Four thousand cavalry followed closely behind Yang Yanshun's moon-grabbing horse and rushed down the sandy slope. When they reached the edge of the green field, they could already see the grass on the ground. Stepping on the horse's hooves, they immediately felt solid, unlike stepping on the desert. .

Although the scene in front of him was dilapidated, it was enough to imagine the prosperity a few hours ago. It seemed that Tang Jingnian had won.

☆, walk down the south pocket

Yang Yanshun was watching from the horse, and after a short while Tang Jingnian was led by soldiers, bowed and bowed: "Master Yang, you are here!"

"Brother Yeluxiu sent me here. He asked me to take down the Nandou and go to fight Wujiao by myself." Yang Yanshun said flatly.

Tang Jingnian was startled and said: "What? The general thinks it's not right, we should return to the army immediately and join Lord Tiyin."

Yang Yanshun glanced coldly, and said: "Hmph, go back now, Brother Yeluxiu will definitely punish me for disobeying the military order."

When Tang Jingnian heard this, he didn't dare to speak. It would be better for him not to get involved in the affairs between the two adults, so he asked, "Master Yang, how do we attack Nandou now?"

Yang Yanshun looked at Nandou City from a distance, it was not far from here, although it was not as tall as the city in the Central Plains, it was considered a solid fortress in this desert. "Brother Tang, Nandou didn't come out to rescue you when you attacked Puli and Pishan?"

Tang Jingnian: "No. At the beginning, I was still apprehensive, afraid that Nandou would come to save me, but until the end of the fight, I didn't see the Nandou city gate open."

"Oh? It's strange. I don't understand such a simple truth? No one came to save me. Could it be... how much damage did the [-] cavalry you lead have?" Yang Yanshun frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked again.

Tang Jingnian: "Thanks to Master Yang's blessing, the three thousand cavalrymen only suffered minor injuries, but none were seriously injured, let alone killed in battle."

"Okay! Brother Tang really has the ability! Brother Tie Ya, you must report the truth to Brother Yeluxiu when you get back!" Yang Yanshun was very happy. Seven thousand cavalry is enough for me to take down Nandou City!

The three generals gathered [-] cavalry and rushed to the foot of Nandou City.The gate of Nandou City was closed tightly, and there was no one on the top of the city. Yang Yanshun was suspicious: Is this Nandou King and I playing an empty plan?This is not how the empty city plan is laid out.While he was pondering, he suddenly saw the gate of the city opened wide, and many people poured out, Yang Yanshun's heart tightened, and he looked carefully, it was not officers and soldiers, but civilians.

Yang Yanshun was even more puzzled: Why did the common people run out and surrender? "

The group of people in front of them moved towards the Liao army step by step, and it took half a stick of incense to walk a distance of dozens of steps. When they came to them, Yang Yanshun asked, "Who are you?"

Maybe it was because the voice was too loud. After hearing this, the group of people were too frightened to move. After a long time, one person stood up and knelt down and talked for a long time, but Yang Yanshun didn't understand a word. "Mistoha! Mistoha!" Yang Yanshun turned around and shouted.

"Hey! My lord, here I come!" Mistorha rushed to the front from the rear, "Master Yang, you call me?" It turned out that Mistorha saw that a battle was about to attack the city, so he hurried to the last of the army. I was afraid that I would be hurt, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any movement from the Liao army, and I heard Yang Yanshun calling me in front, so I hurried to the front army again.

Yang Yanshun pointed to the difficult countryman in front of him and said to Mistoha, "Listen to what he said!"

Mistoha responded, turned off his horse, came to the man and talked for a long time, and finally turned around and clasped his fists: "Master Yang, he said that they are the people in the city. When they saw us coming to attack the city, they were afraid, so they gathered together Pushed open the city gate and escaped, they came to surrender."

Yang Yanshun: "Oh? Are there no guards at the city gate? How many alliance troops are stationed in the city?"

Mistoha: "Master Yang, let me ask again."

Mistohar and the man talked again, and the two talked endlessly, even laughing.Yang Yanshun got a little impatient, took off the big knife from the victory hook of the bird's wing ring and swung it, the tip of the knife was right on the back of Mistoha's head: "Have you finished? I asked you to ask about the military situation, eighth master, and you are here to chat with me! "

Mistoha trembled all over, shaking like a sieve, "Yang...Master Yang, I'm done asking, I'm done asking, don't be angry.

"Speak quickly!" Yang Yanshun ordered, and Mistoha immediately told him everything he heard.

It turned out that the defenders of Nandou were taken away by Xi Yeqin, the younger sister of Xi Ye Wang, a few days ago, and now there are only a few soldiers in the city.When the Liao army came to attack, the people in the city were afraid that the city would be destroyed and slaughtered, so they ran out first and surrendered.

Everyone was happy when they heard this, but Yang Yanshun looked serious, "Mistoha, go back to the rear army."

"You don't need me to translate?" Mistoha looked puzzled, looking at Master Yang's displeasure, thinking: It doesn't make sense, there are no defenders in the city, so he should be happy?

Yang Yanshun narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Tang, what do you think?"

Tang Jingnian: "Master Yang, if it is true that the defenders in the city have been transferred away, it would be considered a good thing. But... it is difficult to tell the truth of this statement."

"Soldiers never tire of cheating." Yang Yanshun said softly.

Tang Jingnian: "Master Yang...what do you mean?"

Yang Yanshun looked at the people in front of him and sneered: Since it is a surrender, why are there only men but no old and weak women and children?It must be a fraud in the city, tricking me into coming.Although I don't want to see the Liao army massacre the city, it's not the benevolence of a woman! "Come on! Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

When the general order was issued, the Liao army was taken aback, and Tang Jingnian frowned, but as professional soldiers, they only knew how to obey the general order, and there was no need to ask more questions.Tang Jingnian commanded [-] cavalry to charge out from the two wings, surrounded the group of people in the center, raised their knives in their hands, and slaughtered them all within a moment.

"Check the corpse." Yang Yanshun ordered.

The Liao army didn't know why to check the corpse, let alone what to check, and stayed where they were, not knowing what to do.Yang Yanshun couldn't help being annoyed when he saw it, he got off his horse, and went to a dead body to inspect it carefully: he was wearing coarse old clothes, and his hands were covered with rough calluses, but they didn't seem to have been worn down by knives all the year round, and he didn't carry any weapons... Could it be that I was wrong?Yang Yanshun lowered his head and pondered, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.

Everyone watched from the side. Although they didn't know what Yang Yanshun was thinking, they didn't dare to say too much.Suddenly, the silence was broken by a loud noise. Everyone looked back and saw the gate of Nandou city opened again, and another group of people came out, crying and running towards the Liao army.Yang Yanshun looked up and was startled: Sure enough, I killed the wrong one, this time it is true.

Yang Yanshun got on his horse, picked up the nine-eared and eight-ringed silver-faced moon wiping knife, and patted the horse forward.When everyone saw it, they hurriedly shouted: "My lord!" Yang Yanshun didn't answer, and swung his knife to kill the group of people.

The group of people below the city was running towards the Liao army, when they suddenly saw a general coming with a knife, his face was full of murderous intent, he didn't care much, they all pulled out a machete from behind, and went straight to the people .

Yang Yanshun's heart was full of anger, not because of others, but because of himself.Although he knew that there must be fraud in the city, he made a mistake in his judgment. The first group of people were innocent, and the second group of people were the defenders in the city in disguise!Yang Yanshun, you are a general in vain!Thinking of this, with a slash of the big knife in his hand, the person in front of him was immediately divided into two halves.Yang Yanshun rushed into the crowd, turning the big knife up and down in his hand, and killed the group of 'common people' in a short time.The Liao army behind them saw the general rushing forward, although they didn't know why, they all came over and wiped out the remaining Nandou people.

Yang Yanshun reined in his horse, looked at the silver-faced moon wiping knife with a sad expression on his face.

☆, Nandou King

Yang Yanshun looked up at the top of the city, but there was still no one there, only a roll of the Nandou flag hanging weakly on the flagpole.Before the city gate could be closed, Yang Yanshun said, "Let's enter the city."

Tang Jingnian: "Master Yang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to enter the city at this time?"

"Come in!" Yang Yanshun patted his horse and left after saying that.

Tang Jingnian wanted to say something more, but was grabbed by Ali Tieya, "Don't ask, go to the city."

Tang Jingnian had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and led the army into Nandou City.

As soon as he entered the city, Tang Jingnian was stunned, there were no guards, no ambushes, but both sides of the street were full of people from Nandou, with terrified eyes.Tang Jingnian hurried to Yang Yanshun's side, "Master Yang...".

Yang Yanshun waved his hand and didn't let him go on, just pointed forward and said, "Look, Mistoha is right."

Tang Jingnian followed the trend and saw a group of people standing at the end of the street. Different from ordinary people, they were gorgeously dressed, but their eyes were full of fear.

Yang Yanshun urged his horse to slowly walk towards the group of people, and when he got close, he saw the first person was a handsome young man, seven feet tall, dressed in purple, with a calm face and calm eyes.
