Nine Death Yuan Body does not fall into a reputation, but words are like life as if they are born after a thousand years.

If you want to know that loyalty and trustworthiness are the ones who are barbarians, you will walk through the tomb and walk away from your horse.

——"Tomb of Lei Wanchun" Fan Chengda [Song Dynasty]

...

Bai Fosun galloped at night and a few days later, he arrived at Yongqiu through the Bian River.

At this time, the fake Yan general Linghu Chao was leading his troops to attack Yongqiu, and the city was surrounded by the big army of the fake Yan.

Bai Fu looked into the mountains and hills. The puppet Yan army should have tens of thousands of people, and the Tang army in Yongqiu City should have no more than five thousand troops. The strength of the two sides is huge.

Bai Fu observed the sky and inferred that the moon was hidden and the stars were sparse tonight, which was a good day for stealing the camp. Bai Fu decided to sneak into Yongqiu City while the night was dark.

Bai Fu finished eating dry food, meditated and rested. At the third update, he sneaked into the pseudo-Yan military camp as planned.

He climbed over the fence and entered the military camp. Bai Fu took advantage of the situation and killed a soldier who came out to pee at night and changed into the man's armor in a secluded place. With disguise, Bai Fu walked in the pseudo-Yan military camp and headed towards the Yongqiu city wall.

Bai Fu walked to the gate of the military camp and was about to find a gap to sneak out of the military camp and climbed over the wall into the city. When he looked up, he suddenly found countless men in black emerging from the top of Yongqiu City, lined up in a neat line, densely packed. At a glance, there were no less than a thousand people.

The men in black were neat and quick, and they all walked down the city with ropes, with uniform movements and silent movements. At first glance, they were sneaking into the military camp while the night was dark and windy.

The pseudo-Yan soldiers who were patrolling the night also discovered the military situation and hurriedly reported to the main general Linghu Chao.

Linghu Chao looked confident, and seemed to have expected the Tang army to come to attack tonight and was prepared for it.

With a command, thousands of crossbowmen rushed out of the military camp like a tide, carving bows, erecting crossbow machines, and firing thousands of arrows at the same time. The crossbow arrows were like bees flying out of the beehive, shooting towards the men in black standing on the top of the city and slitting down the rope.

Thousands of men in black were shot in several arrows and screamed repeatedly. Bai Fu felt ache in his heart and couldn't bear to look at him.

Linghu Chao stroked his beard, laughed loudly, pointed to the city and said, "Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, I had expected that you would steal the camp tonight! The rain of crossbow arrows will definitely cause you to lose your troops and lose your generals!

Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun, you are just a county magistrate of Li Tang. There are more people in the Tang Dynasty, you are not much, you are not much less. Li Longji is not very kind to you. He has been in the officialdom for many years and cannot be promoted. Why should you work hard for the Li family father and son?

Now that Li Tang is exhausted, why should he stay in the lonely city and bury Li Tang for his life?

If you surrender as soon as possible, I will protect you from high positions and wealth, and you will be rich and prosperous!"

Before he finished speaking, a person appeared on the city tower, protected by heavy shields. It was County Magistrate Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun sneered: "Old man Linghu, you are also a member of the family and the court treats you kindly. I have always promised loyalty and righteousness. What is loyalty and righteousness today?

If you are accusing Hu Gou, you are not ashamed to be humiliated if you don’t have ancestors?!”

Linghu Chao was so angry that he pointed to Zhang Xun on the city and cursed: "All the generals obey the orders and shoot me to death! Those who shoot Zhang Xun's husband will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!

If I don’t kill this person, I will not be a human being!”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward. The officers and soldiers of the pseudo-Yan were very happy and took out carved feather arrows engraved with names and shot them at the city tower.

The sound of the camera was heard everywhere, "swish swish swish", and thousands of arrows were like meteor rain, crossing the sky and shooting towards the man in black on the Yongqiu City Tower.

The more than a thousand men in black had no time to hide, screaming and their bodies were filled with arrows, like hedgehogs.

Bai Fu thought and said to himself: "No?! These people were shot into hedgehogs, why are they still screaming when they are not dead yet? There is a fraud among them. Could it be that they are the scarecrow disguise?"

After a while, Linghu Chao also noticed something strange. He waved his hand and hurriedly stopped him, ordering the crossbowman to stop shooting arrows.

It was too late, and Zhang Xun laughed on the city tower, and said loudly: "Thank you Lord Linghu for giving the arrow!"

The Tang army guarding the city burst into laughter and shouted in unison: "Thank you Lord Linghu for giving the arrow!"

The Tang army soldiers hid behind the shield, pulled their hands alternately, and happily pulled more than a thousand black-clad scarecrows full of arrows up to the city tower.

"I've fallen into the trap!"

Linghu Chao was embarrassed and felt dizzy and almost fainted. The personal soldiers hurriedly helped him back to the camp and sent him to the big tent to rest.

The fake Yan crossbowman slowly withdrew back to the camp amid the laughter of the Tang army. He hung up the hang bucket and closed the camp gate tightly.

...

It turned out that Yongqiu was besieged for several months without any supplies of weapons and supplies. After many attacks and defenses, there were no arrow defense in the city.

When the three armies were exhausted and depressed, and the generals had no choice but to do anything, Zhang Xun was quick to learn and skillfully used the "grass man borrowed arrows" strategy to earn hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows, many of which were bed crossbow iron arrows and well-made carved feather arrows.

Bai Fu secretly raised his finger and praised: "This Lord Zhang Xun is amazing!

The Taifu said that he was a Jinshi in the late Kaiyuan year, well-versed in books and knew the formation of war. Although he was just a county magistrate and had a low level, his fellow disciples must be of great or elderly, and they would not be able to match the vulgarity, which was unaware of by people at that time.

I saw you today and it was indeed worthy of your reputation!”

When the two camps were about to stop, Bai Fu took advantage of the night and climbed over the fence of the camp and came to the city gate on the other side of Yongqiu. He leaped on his toes and flew up several feet in one breath.

After several feet, the true energy will become turbid and Bai Fu's body will fall.

Bai Fu opened his arms and found the air whirlwind in the air with the sensing of the true energy of Xunding to the wind. With the help of the lifting power of the air flow, he glided like a big bird to one end of the city wall.

On the toe, he gently tapped the slightly raised bricks and jumped up again. He glided a few times and jumped up and down, and Bai Fu jumped up to the city tower.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers on the city tower were counting the results of the battle, and they had obtained hundreds of thousands of arrows without any effort! Such a beautiful thing made the soldiers smile happily, just like fishermen who were pulling nets to catch fish, full of fishermen.

When Bai Fu appeared silently on the top of the city like a big bird, the generals were shocked and stunned for a while before they controlled the weapons and surrounded Bai Fu.

Bai Fu smiled freely and waved his hand, indicating that he was a friend but not an enemy. The soldiers surrounded Bai Fu and waited for Lord Zhang to come and deal with it.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhang Xun came and heard the wind. Bai Fu handed over the handwritten letter from Taifu Xu to Zhang Xun through the soldiers.

Zhang Xun used the fire to read the letter. Bai Fu also took the opportunity to look at the Zhenyuan County Magistrate who won the more with less and became famous.

This person is about fifty years old, with deep cheeks, sparse beard and dark and thin. His eyes are swollen, but his tiger eyes are bright and bright, like a cold star.

After reading the letter, Zhang Xun was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw and siege.

Zhang Xun quickly stepped forward, held Bai Fu's hand tightly, and smiled and said, "It turns out that the leader of Yuan Xi is here! With Young Master Bai, why should we be afraid of the bandits and thousands of troops!"

Back at the city tower command post, Zhang Xun ordered people to serve food and clear water, and apologized: "Yongqiu has been surrounded for several months, and there is no food in short supply, so there is nothing to entertain."

Bai Fu looked at the taro and wheat bran cakes on the plate, and probably these were the best foods in Yongqiu City.

A warm current surged in Bai Fu's heart. He walked to Zhang Xun and paid tribute to him. Bai Fu said, "Sir, Bai Fu is not talented, I am willing to work hard for you!"

Zhang Xun hurriedly helped Bai Fu up and ordered someone to go to the Koulou post to call on the two powerful generals under his command to meet Bai Fu.

The first person to enter the tent was Lei Wanchun. This man was slender, tall and straight as a javelin, with thick eyes and a dignified appearance.

Zhang Xun introduced: "Wanchun's original name is Lei Zhen and his courtesy name is Mingkong. He studied under the old man Mojing, Chisong Mountain in Forty-eight Villages. The old man Mojing gave him the Dharma name Daochan."

Lei Wanchun introduced himself to his past experiences. After learning art in Chisong Mountain for 16 years, after completing his studies on boxing and military skills, he went down the mountain to join the army.

After An Lushan's rebellion, with the recommendation of his sworn brother Lei Haiqing, Lei Wanchun and his sworn brother Nan Jiyun defected to Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County.

Just as he was talking about Nan Jiyun, he heard a loud voice from outside the account: "Sir, today's business is done happily! You can earn hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows from Linghu without spending any effort!"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a tiger general stepped into the tent with a hero, a helmet and armor, a stern body, a broad chest, a nose like a tiger's gall, a paint brush, and a majestic weapon, with the mighty of a tiger's shaking sky.

Zhang Xun pointed at someone and smiled and said, "Nan Ba, come and see Young Master Bai."

The visitor glared and grabbed Bai Fu's palm with his eyes. He exerted force in his palm, and clenched Bai Fu's metacarpal bones. Bai Fu smiled without saying anything, and his palms were like steel and iron.

Lei Wanchun frowned and scolded: "Third brother, don't be rude!"

The visitor laughed, let go of Bai Fu's palm, patted Bai Fu's shoulder, and said, "Good boy, with such strength, you can use the Five Stones Bow!"

Nan Jiyun was straightforward and heroic, and unruly, instantly won Bai Fu's favor.

...

The four of them were in a similar mood, using water instead of wine, and chatting and laughing happily.

While laughing and cheering, the logistics craftsmen who repaired the weapons came to report and asked the thousands of scarecrows how to deal with it.

Lei Wanchun said: "The old method is to chop the straw with a guillotine, soak it in water and feed the horse."

Zhang Xun's eyes turned and he thought about it. He waved his hand to stop him and said, "Let's wait. I will do it a few nights tomorrow and then, and I will follow the rules and bring these thousands of scarecrows down the city."

Lei and Nan were puzzled. Nan Jiyun asked, "Sir, we will repeat the same trick. How could the old thief Linghu Chao be deceived again?"

Zhang Xun smiled but refused to answer.

Bai Fu's inspiration flashed and captured Zhang Xun's plan. Bai Fu tapped the table with his fingers and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xun smiled and said, "Has Mr. Bai guessed it?"

Bai Fu had a heart-to-heart relationship and smiled and said, "False is true, and true is false." Lei and Nan were confused.

Zhang and Bai looked at each other, appreciated each other, and laughed at each other with high-fifths.
