Chapter 10: The Wind (Sixth)

This makes sense.

In an instant, Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin's eyes were clear.

No matter how brave and good at fighting, all the brothers under his command were added to only a thousand men. However, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liao Kingdom went one after another. Sooner or later, Lijiazhai would be crushed alive. Therefore, Zheng must manage a way out for him from now on, so as not to be unable to save his life when he is defeated and surrendered in the future!

After thinking through it, Guan Qiao and the two brothers couldn't help but shake their heads and smile at each other.

"I thought he was really brave and fearless!"

"This guy! When I meet, I must give him some good looks!"

However, after laughing, I finally realized that it was not the time to take it lightly. So, while recruiting warriors with a lot of money to establish contact with reinforcements outside the mountain, he began to rectify the troops and gathered all the weapons in the camp together to form two. Each of them was equipped with double leather armor, iron helmets and sheepskin coats, preparing to show the army's "power" in tonight's negotiations!"

As the saying goes, misfortune comes, good fortune comes, and good fortune comes. Before the sun sets west, there is a group of dead soldiers from the Han family outside the mountain who fought for their lives. They broke through the numerous interceptions of the yen in Lijiazhai Township and sent a command from Han Kuangmei, the commander of the Southern Privy Council of the Great Liao Dynasty and the commander of the army in Yanjing, telling the soldiers who stayed in Taojiazhuang that the army would arrive soon. They encouraged them to cheer up and defend the camp to create an opportunity for the army to sank the bandits in the mountains in one fell swoop.

"The military commander said he already knows about the two young masters!" After performing official duties, the face of the head of the family general Han Bing changed rapidly, and he bowed with a smile, "Before coming, he specially asked the villain to bring a message to the two young masters, so don't argue for the shortcoming. Now we are both angry and in unison, so we will let some small things go first. When we look back in the future, we will know who is virtuous and who is foolish, at a glance!"

"This..." Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin were slightly stunned at first, then leaned down one after another, and went to the north to pay tribute to the elders as their younger generations. "My nephew is taught, thank you for your advice!"

It is obvious that Ma Yanxu was greedy for merit and made arbitrary efforts, forcing his brothers to lead the way to atone for his sins. After his defeat, he became malicious and tried to use Zheng Ziming's hand to kill people to silence his mouth, and so many other evil deeds such as Yanjing's army commander Han Kuangmei. However, at this moment, the Han family in Jizhou, the Han family in Youzhou, and the Ma family in Qingzhou were allies, so Han Kuangmei was not convenient for revenge for Ma Yanxu's behavior of harming Han's sons and nephews. However, the Ma family in Qingzhou would definitely take the initiative to give the Han family an explanation for the sake of maintaining the alliance. Although it was impossible to directly chop Ma Yanxu's head to apologize, at least the family would no longer regard this person as a key training target.

In the Great Liao court, which was respected by the Khitans, a Han army general who had experienced a crushing defeat, lost an arm, and had no family financial resources and connections to support him, his future could be imagined. It is probably not until five years that he would be completely trampled by Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin. At that time, Ma Yanxu's "smart" behavior at this moment would probably become a laughing stock for all Han officials in the Great Liao Kingdom, and no one would give him any sympathy.

"The two young masters are really smart, just one thing." Seeing that Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin could understand the good intentions of their masters, the head of the family general Han Bing flashed aside and huddled to compliment. Then, he quickly added: "Last night, the army commander fought with the thief general. He knew that this person was brave and cunning, and he was as cunning as a fox, so he specially asked the villain to pass the message to the two young masters. Before he led the army to arrive, he just needed to defend the camp. No matter what method his surname was Zheng, don't pay attention to it." (Note 1)

"Yes, my nephew obeys the order!" Hearing the two brothers stood up to the north again.

The reinforcements in Youzhou are about to arrive, and there are sufficient food, grass and bows and arrows in the temporary camp in Taojiazhuang. As long as the soldiers who stayed behind work together, it should not be a problem to persevere for two to three days. What's more, since Zheng Ziming already knew that the Liao army was about to arrive, he would definitely not dare to waste his limited troops easily on the group of soldiers stationed in Taojiazhuang.

However, if you just keep waiting for help, how can you show that the two brothers are different? You should know that among the Han family, the younger generation who owns the character De, can't count their fingers and toes together!

Therefore, although he promised respectfully on his mouth, deep down, Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin Ge were even more determined to suppress Zheng Ziming's face during the meeting that night. He was also cruel to bring back as many captured soldiers as possible so that his uncle Han Kuangmei would look at him with admiration in three days.

Han Bing, who was responsible for passing the message, was just a general leader of the family. How could he guess the thoughts of the two young masters? Seeing that his mission had been completed, he immediately bowed and found a house under the leadership of the left-behind soldiers, and fell asleep. In the evening, he was awakened from his dream by the sound of horn drums. He found that there were signs of a large group of people in the camp that were about to be dispatched. Then he wanted to dissuade him. Where could anyone listen? He could only cheer up and lead a group of family generals to follow the two young masters. In order to find that something was wrong, he would take action immediately and die in battle with everyone, and not let the two young masters make any mistakes.

"Don't worry, since Zheng Ziming took the initiative to meet with us brothers, he must be afraid and wanted to make a good relationship with our Han family!" Seeing that Han Bing and his family members were all serious, Han Dexin could not spare any relief while leaving. "Besides, our brothers brought a total of 200 brothers this time. Once they found that something was wrong, they turned around and left immediately, and he might not be able to keep us!"

"He has captured so many people, and he has captured two hundred more and two hundred less, and there is no difference at all!" Yelu Chiquan's view was similar to Han Dexin. He just respected the enemy more. "So we two will not really break up with him, give him some benefits, and exchange all the captured brothers back. When his uncle led the army to attack Lijiazhai another day, he would not throw a fright. And the brothers who were rescued could understand that only my Han family was sincere to them. If someone else was replaced, he would only treat them as abandoned sons!"

"The two young masters don't have to explain to the villain. As long as we can ensure that the Taojiazhuang camp is not lost, we can just let go of other things!" After all, there is a difference between the master and the servant. Han Bing, the head of the family, dare not say too much, suppressed his doubts and bowed to respond.

"Don't worry, I will be able to save the robe tonight, and I will be able to see you!" Yelu Chiquan smiled and quickly repaid his favor.

Although he had already determined that Zheng Ziming was trying to get along with the Han family through himself and knew that even if the other party turned against him, he would not kill people on the spot, he and Han Dexin still raised their vigilance. Not only did they constantly send scouts to search for all suspicious targets along the way, they also ordered several dead soldiers recruited from a large amount of money to arrive at the meeting place first and check the opponent's reality for the team.

However, the facts told the two brothers that all their vigilance was to judge the gentleman by the heart of a villain. Zheng Ziming did not ambush anyone along the way, nor did he set up a net of heaven and earth at the meeting place. Waiting for them was only a table of banquets and more than thirty piles of dry firewood. As for the personal guards, there were at most twenty to thirty, and there were definitely no more than forty!

"I knew that the army was approaching, and he didn't dare to play any conspiracy anymore!" Yelu Chiquan felt a little hot when he heard this. He glanced at Han Bing, the leader of the family, and said loudly.

"Hiss-! Since he can't play new tricks, why are he preparing so much dry firewood for?" In addition to being ashamed, Han Dexin still did not lose her vigilance, frowned, and pondered in a low voice.

"He, he said, there were too few people who knew we wouldn't come. So I prepared a few more piles of firewood to keep warm for my brothers!" I also didn't know what the several dead soldiers who were ordered to explore the way in advance took the benefits from Zheng Ziming. When he heard Han Dexin's words, he took the initiative to defend the other party.

"Fake benevolence and righteousness!" Han Dexin's face suddenly became a little swollen. She glared at the dead soldiers fiercely and emphasized loudly, "That guy knows the best way to win people's hearts. Don't be fooled. After meeting later, we must be cautious."

"Yes, general!" The dead soldiers bowed their hands to take the order, but after retreating, they couldn't help but shake their heads and whisper.

What are you pretending to be? If someone wants to kill you brothers, it is not easier to send troops to attack the camp this morning? Before we learn that reinforcements are about to arrive, who else in the camp, except our brothers, has the courage to fight to the death? I am afraid that before the Zheng surnamed Zheng came closer, they all threw down their weapons and ran away and had no courage to turn around!

The entire army, with more than 200 people, walked eastward with more than twenty thoughts. Finally, when the sky began to dark, they arrived at the agreed meeting place. Zheng Ziming had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the banner of Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin, he immediately took the initiative to greet him and bowed his hands to greet him: "Hello, two generals! Although Zheng is in the countryside, he has long admired the names of the two generals. It is so great to have the fate to meet him today!"

Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin were originally a little nervous. Seeing that Zheng Ziming was so respectful to him, the heart that was hanging in his throat sank several points. Both of them opened their bodies and returned with the same kindness. "I have heard of the name of inspectors. I have heard of them. Today I am lucky to be invited to each other, and I am ashamed!"

"Haha, I have heard that Han's poetry, books and etiquette have been passed down for a long time. All the children and nephews in the clan are both civil and military. When I saw this today, the rumors would not deceive me!" Zheng Ziming immediately raised his head and laughed happily. "Okay, you and I are both military generals, so you should not be too polite. Come on, it's cold, so go into the tent to drink a cup to warm your body!"

After saying that, he didn't care that Han Bing and other generals were staring at each other. He walked a few steps again, grabbed the arms of Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin, and dragged them to the tent that had been set up with one hand.

Yelu Chiquan and Han Dexin both trembled and immediately forgot the fantasy of being prepared to humiliate their opponents in person. They were about to say a few words to avoid being too passive. Unexpectedly, the force coming from the other party's arm was surprisingly great, and they did not allow Brother and the other party to delay any delay. They directly pulled out the protection scope of Han Bing and other generals.

"Please wait!" Han Bing was shocked when he saw this and wanted to chase after him. Unpredictable, he saw Zheng Ziming's eyes stabbing into his heart like a knife. He was immediately as if he was being targeted by a beast. His scalp was tight and his hair stood up. His legs trembled and he no longer had the courage to move forward.

"Forgive the inspector, they are eager to protect their master!" Lu Yongxiang, who had never seen any big scenes, was more bold than the generals before the murderous aura that came to his face. He took the initiative to chase after a few steps and bowed to apologize.

"Just! I killed someone in front of the camp, like taking things out of my bag! Just a few guards can take care of a bird!" Zheng Ziming frowned and scolded disdainfully. Then, he seemed to give Lu Yongxiang a face, turned his head and shouted at his confidant: "Well, come, open the tent door so that they can see it at any time! Don't they think I will eat the two generals raw!"

"Zo——Fate!" The villagers in front of the tent responded in a long voice. At the same time, they quickly picked up the tent door with their spears, revealing the huge brazier placed in the center of the tent.

In the brazier, the charcoal was burning to a prosperous place, and when the cold wind blew, the red light was rising. Suddenly, people felt a burst of warmth. Zheng Ziming nodded to his own guards with satisfaction, and continued to smile and ordered, "You guys should stay away and go to make fire and barbecue to eat. Don't stand here, so as not to worry that someone is holding a Hongmen Banquet."

"Yes!" His guards burst into smiles and bowed to leave, as if they didn't care about the safety of their bosses at all, or they didn't take the two Han brothers and the two hundred troops they led seriously.

When Han Dexin saw this, she felt more and more dull. She turned around and plucked up her courage and ordered: "Everyone should have a rest! Although General Zheng is in the enemy country, he is an open and honest gentleman. He can only fight with us face to face on the battlefield and will never do the unreliable act of holding banquets and arresting people.

Although Yelu Chiquan had thicker skin than him, he could not hide the embarrassment on his face at this moment. He simply ruthlessly and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Rest! Let's go and rest! Haven't you seen that Inspection Zheng has prepared the firewood for everyone?"

"Ah, if you don't mention it, Zheng almost forgot!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Ziming immediately let go of the arms of the two, raised his hand, and patted his own thighs, "Come on! Come on, light up the fire. It's a guest from afar, although it's an enemy, you can't be too slow! Light the fire, light up the fire and barbecue. Tonight, everyone who comes to visit with the two generals will be full!"

"As for the order!" The guards bowed and took the order, and then used wooden sticks to lure the fire from the fire in front of their homes, igniting more than thirty piles of firewood prepared in advance on the hillside one by one. Immediately, they quickly dragged out dozens of sheep that had been peeled and frozen from the thick snow, and put them on the fire one by one.

"Hu——" The wind blew the red stars and sent the warmth into the chests of every Youzhou soldiers.
