Chapter 360: Surrender to Liao Kingdom

If Bazhou can be captured, the Liangshan army can stay away from the battlefield and let Tang Tianheng fight with the Liao army. Even if Zhao Yunzhen raises his troops, there is no need to worry. With the steep terrain of Bazhou, it is enough to block Zhao Yunzhen's 200,000 army.

However, how to take Bazhou? How to take Bazhou when there are enemies before and after this is the key, and it is the top priority!

"Scholar, do you have any idea how to take over Bazhou?" Ximen Qing looked at Wu Yong and asked.

Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said, "It is definitely not possible to attack Bazhou. With our strength, fighting Bazhou will lead to self-destruction, not to mention that Tang Tianheng's army is eyeing him. As far as I know, when Jizhou goes to Bazhou, you need to pass two passes, one is called Yijin Pass. There are steep mountains on both sides, with only one post road in the middle. The mountains are steep and high, and the rocks are everywhere. The terrain is even more steep. As long as the troops are stationed on the mountain, you can firmly control it.

This post road, no matter how many troops you have 100,000 or 200,000, you don’t want to pass easily; the other road is passing through Wen'an County, but both sides of this road are evil mountains, not inferior to Yijin Pass. After passing Yijin Pass and Wen'an County, you can reach the two gates of Bazhou after walking on a long stretch of the post road. So a strong attack is to find a draw. Therefore, the best situation is to take Bazhou without much effort, just how to get to Debazhou and how to get in?"

Ximen Qing said: "This is indeed very troublesome. Wait first, and you will definitely think of a solution in the future! By the way, we will hang the free battle card tomorrow. If we don't send troops to fight, we will spend a few days to Tang Tianheng, which will make him anxious and unable to figure out our plans. This will also help the future plans!"

Wu Yong said: "Okay, that's all."

However, after Gao Qiu was forced to return to Tokyo, the Lord of Liao could not help but sigh. He always praised the bravery of the Liangshan army above the Golden Palace, thinking about taking it for himself.

At this moment, Ouyang Shilang replied: "Report to the Lord, Ximen Qing's group is all heroes of Liangshanbo. Now the emperor of the Song Dynasty has been robbed by four traitors, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and Yang Jian, who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and blocks the path of wise men. He will not enter the relatives or money. How can he tolerate them in a long time? This time Gao Qiu failed to plot against Ximen Qing, but also let Ximen Qing see how slim his future is! He is held by the four corrupt officials, even if he has made great contributions.

It's useless! So Ximen Qing must have the idea of ​​planning something else in his heart. Since that's the case, why don't the Langzhu give them their official titles, give them gold and silk, and reward them with more light fur and fat horses? As long as we give generous rewards, Ximen Qing will definitely be moved! Let him understand that the Song Dynasty can't stay still, and he can also go to the Liao Dynasty! If we can successfully surrender Ximen Qing's army, we will not only regain Jizhou and Tanzhou, but also get a brave army!

I am willing to be an envoy and say that he has come to surrender to our Great Liao Kingdom. If the Lord of the Langzhu gets this army and horse, he will look at the Central Plains as if he is backward. He will never go south in the future! I dare not bet on his own, so I beg the Lord of the Lord of the Holy Grade."

After hearing this, the man's master was overjoyed and said, "Your words have come to my heart. If you really get Ximen Qing's army, that would be wonderful. Haha... Ouyang Qi, I ordered you to be an envoy, bring a hundred good horses, a hundred good satin, and an imperial decree to grant Ximen Qing the general of the country, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, and give it gold and silver scales, and the power to be used as a token. The leaders will be copied to the future and all of them will be awarded official titles. Be sure to convince Ximen Qing to surrender to our Great Liao Kingdom!"

"Yes, the lord!" Ouyang Qi took the order and retreated.

At this time, Ximen Qing closed the camp and ignored Tang Tianheng's provocation. Tang Tianheng was extremely speculating about Ximen Qing's actions, but he was unsure of his mind. He didn't know what Ximen Qing wanted to do.

During these days, Ximen Qing and Wu Yong discussed it every day to see if they had the idea of ​​taking Bazhou. But after thinking about it, they found that in addition to attacking for a strong force, it was even more difficult to win Bazhou by relying on strategies than climbing Shu Road.

Just when Ximen Qing was anxious, Zhu Tong from Jizhou rode his horse and rushed over.

Seeing Zhu Tong coming, Ximen Qing was shocked.

Zhu Tong led the assault camp to guard Jizhou. Now, all of them were invaded by the Liao army, and Jizhou was in danger?

Thinking of this, Ximen Qing hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhu, has the Liao army launched a large-scale attack?"

Zhu Tong gasped, shook his head, and said, "No, no... The Liao army did not attack. It was the envoy of the Liao army who came. He said he was here to recruit the commander and he also appointed the commander as the commander of the Liao Kingdom. Seeing that the matter was important, I rode a horse and reported it!"

"Recruiting me? The Grand Marshal of the Army?" Ximen Qing was shocked and then looked at Wu Yong, and the two laughed.

Wu Yong said: "Emperor Yi, now you have a plan to take down Bazhou. Haha, God is really helping our army!"

Ximen Qing also nodded quickly and said, "No, God really helps our army, God helps our army!"

Looking at Ximen Qing and Wu Yong's laughter, Zhu Tong frowned and asked, "Commander, military advisor, are you really going to surrender to the Liao thieves?"

Ximen Qing patted Zhu Tong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Zhu, am I such a person? I would rather be killed than surrender to the Liao army! But if you don't really surrender, it doesn't mean you can't surrender, do you know?"

Zhu Tong didn't understand very well, but he felt relieved when he knew that Ximen Qing was not really surrendering to the enemy. So he asked, "By the commander, the Liao army envoy is waiting in Jizhou City. Do you think you will bring him here or you will go?"

Ximen Qing said: "Of course we went, so that we can make us honest! Haha, Wu Yong quickly sent an order, asking Qin Ming and Yang Xiong to lead the army to Miyun County to gather, then quickly retreat and retreat to the defense of Tanzhou City. Don't Tang Tianheng want a place? Then leave Miyun County and other places for them to taste some sweetness. Anyway, the strong men here have been recruited by us, haha, don't worry about their troubles!"

Wu Yong smiled and went to do it.

Within two hours, Qin Ming and Yang Xiong brought their army back to Miyun County, and then the Liangshan army retreated northward and retreated towards Tanzhou City.

Tian Hu's camp also knew the enemy's movements at the first time.

When Tang Tianheng learned that Ximen Qing led his troops to retreat, he frowned directly into the full moon.

Tian Hu, who was standing beside him, asked carefully: "Brother, what does Ximen Qing mean? He has never sent troops to fight, and now he has escaped? Are you afraid of us?"

Tang Tianheng pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't guess it, but what is certain is that there must be a conspiracy!"

Tian Hu rolled his eyes.

Tang Tianheng stood up, came to the topographic map, and said with a serious expression: "But no matter what, if he retreats, we must chase after him! Be sure to take down Tanzhou and Jizhou so that we can deal with Zhao Yuntian. Alas, compared to Ximen Qing, Zhao Yuntian is what I am most worried about! The grandmaster cannot participate in the war and kill innocent people indiscriminately, but the grandmaster can do it! Emei supports the word "wu" and sends five masters and fifteen great martial artists to help him at the peak, but in the end it was not killed by the ten elders of Kunlun? This made Emei wither and finally realize.

After closing the mountain, Wang Qi fled, but wasn't he being killed by a master? Although the protagonist of the war is a soldier and a general, the force represented by the master warrior is a killing weapon! At this time, Kunlun had already known my actions, and all the ten elders had gone down the mountain to assist Zhao Yunsheng. At this time, Zhao Yunsheng had sent several elders to deal with me and Ximen Qing... So we must take down a heavy city like Jizhou as soon as possible so that we can protect our own safety. Master... Master... Master..."

At this time, Tang Tianheng hated Kunlun. If he had only relied on war, Tang Tianheng was arrogant and did not fear anyone, and even dared to abuse Zhao Yuntian. However, Zhao Yuntian had ten masters and masters to help him. What is the concept of ten masters and masters? He was a master who could lurk into the enemy camp and kill people's heads quietly! I don't know when he would die. Such an enemy is the most terrifying thing.

Afterwards, Tang Tianheng ordered the army to head north and attack the city of Tanzhou for 60 miles.

However, Ximen Qing led his troops back to Tanzhou City and asked the army to station here. He could not go out to fight, so he took Wu Yong back to Jizhou City with quick horses.

After rushing to Jizhou City, Ximen Qing and Wu Yong did not rest, but directly found Ouyang Qi.

After seeing Ximen Qing, Ouyang Qi looked surprised.

Although he knew that Ximen Qing was not very old and capable, he did not expect that he would be so brave, just like a god. His aura impressed Ouyang Qi, and his majesty made Ouyang Qi frightened. The recruitment of Ximen Qing in his heart became even stronger! If the Liao Dynasty had such a good general, why worry about the hegemony?

"Ouyang Qi, the envoy of Liao Kingdom, pay homage to General Ximen!" Ouyang Qi learned the etiquette of the Han people, clasped his fists and bowed his hands and said with a smile.

Ximen Qing smiled and replied, "Mr. Ouyang has worked hard to come here not far away. I am not greeting you well, please forgive me!"

Seeing that Ximen Qing was so polite, modest and polite, Ouyang Qi nodded secretly. He was not arrogant or impatient, capable or arrogant. Such a talent is really rare in the world. Today I was right.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Qi became more polite and smiled and said, "Governor Ximen, please be polite."

Afterwards, Ximen Qing invited Ouyang Qi to sit down and asked the servants to have a tea drink. Then he got to the point and said, "By the way, I wonder what it is worth to come here?"

Ouyang Qi laughed, then took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Ximen Qing, and said, "My Lord of Daliao learned that General Ximen and Liangshan Army were brave and good at fighting. He admired him very much. However, the mountains and rivers were far away, and he had no way to pay homage to the general. He was very regretful. He also heard that General Ximen was in Liangshan Dazhai and was in charge of the heavens. The brothers worked together to win the hearts of the people and deeply praised by our Lord of the Court. Our Lord of the Kingdom once said that if a person like a general was highly valued, he would be appointed as the Marshal of the Army. But a pity that the treacherous ministers of the Song Dynasty were blocked from the wise path and had gold and silk thrown into their subordinates, he would be highly respected by high officials.

If you use it, if you don’t have bribes and throw yourself into your subordinates, you will always make great contributions to the country. If you are buried in the world, you will not be promoted to rewards. Such treacherous parties will be lucky, slanderous, jealous of virtuous people, and you will not be rewarded. This will lead to chaos in the world. Jiangnan, Liangzhe, Shandong, and Hebei, thieves will rise up, bandits will be rampant, and good people will suffer from their misfortune. Now the general commands 100,000 elite soldiers, but he will only be the vanguard, and he will not be promoted to the title. Now the achievements are abundant, but the Emperor Song has no intention of rewarding. The brothers are working hard to serve the country, and they are still white-hearted people. Such behavior is really indignant. My husband is sorry for the generals!

It is also heard that General Ximen had a feud with the four major thieves. If he returns to the capital in the future, the emperor will not only not reward you heavily, but will be believed to be slandered and become a criminal! My husband's husband cannot bear to see such a general who is so humiliated. Therefore, the king of the Great Liao Dynasty specially sent a small official to give him an imperial order to grant the general the general the Liao Dynasty, the general the commander of the army and the general the commander of the army. He gave him gold, silver scale, a hundred pieces of colorful satin, and a hundred horses and a hundred horses. He also wanted to copy the names of many leaders to go to the country and give him official titles according to his name. I am not here to lure the general, but the boss of our country has heard of the great virtue of the general for a long time. He really wants to agree with the general to create great achievements together, and he will not lose his reputation as a general for his lifetime!"

After hearing this, Ximen Qing took the imperial edict and browsed it. Then he sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Ouyang said so well. I am now worried about the future of the Liangshan brothers! I was troubled by the four thief ministers. It is difficult for my Liangshan army to stand out. It is just that he defected to Liao and sell his country for honor... This is not what a hero does! He will be despised by the people! So I would rather die tragically than leave a lifetime of bad reputation!"

Hearing Ximen Qing say this, Ouyang Qi nodded in admiration and shouted in his heart that Ximen Qing is also a hero! Then he wanted to recruit Ximen Qing even more.

Therefore, he said: "General Ximen, this is a bad word! The people of the world are all about selling their country and seeking honor? What's more, the Song Dynasty abandoned the general first! The general's kindness, but he also had to think about the brothers of Liangshan! Is the general willing to die with his brothers with his brothers?"

Ximen Qing was stunned, then sighed with a sigh of grief, shaking his head and his face was filled with pain.

At this time, Wu Yong, beside Ximen Qing, clasped his fists and said solemnly to Ximen Qing: "Commander, Lord Ouyang is right! The Song Dynasty is not kind to us first, why do we still have to be kind and righteous to him? Now that the Song Dynasty is always lost, why don't we abandon the secret? The brothers will definitely support the commander, please give up the commander's clarification!"

Ximen Qing hesitated immediately.

After a while, Ximen Qing said to Ouyang Qi: "Mr. Ouyang, please give me some time to think about it. I haven't sent you the answer yet, I'm sorry!"

Ouyang Qi had long expected Ximen Qing to say so.

Therefore, he was not anxious, so he said, "Then the officials will come to visit the general again after a while! General, please think about the brothers in Liangshan!"

Then, Ouyang Qi put down the gift and left with his entourage.

After Ouyang Qi left, Ximen Qing laughed and said to Wu Yong: "Scholar, Bazhou is hopeful!"

Wu Yong nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, in less than two months, Bazhou will definitely get it!"

Ximen Qing said: "Next, wait for Ouyang Qi to come again."

But Ouyang Qi returned to Yanjing and told the Langzhu the conversation between him and Ximen Qing. After listening to Ouyang Qi's story, the Langzhu slapped the table and exclaimed: "Are a hero! The Song Dynasty does not know how to cherish such heroes, and they must earn it for me, the Great Liao Dynasty! Ouyang Qi, I have to persuade Ximen Qing to recruit peace and serve as the general of the Great Liao Dynasty!"

"Yes, the Lord!" Ouyang Qizun shouted.

―――――――――――――

Half a month has been since Ouyang Qi came to recruit the house. These days, Ximen Qing stayed in Jizhou City with peace of mind and did not go out.

However, Tang Tianheng's army outside Tanzhou City pressed forward every day and began to build well railings, cloud ladders and other equipment to climb the city. Ximen Qing ordered the troops to stop being stationed, which made Tang Tianheng unable to wait, so he had already planned to forcibly attack the city.

This was not a wonderful thing for the Liangshan army, who did not leave their homes. Then, he ordered Tang Long to cast fire dragon crossbows, oil-rolling equipment, wooden troughs and other equipment, and was ready to prevent Tang Tianheng's army from attacking.

At the same time, the Privy Council submitted a report to the emperor and ordered Ximen Qing to continue to go north. At this time, the official documents had also been published to Tanzhou.

Fortunately, Tang Tianheng's army came, so Ximen Qing wrote a letter saying that the rebels had to fight against the enemy when they attacked. This made the Privy Council's plan fail.

At this time, Ximen Qing had returned to Tanzhou to stay in charge, and was wandering around Tanzhou with a white marten.

These days, Bai Diao has been staying in Tanzhou City for delicious food and drinks. Looking at Bai Diao's round belly, Ximen Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.

"A greedy guy, I have to find something for you in the future!" Ximen Qing said with a smile while teasing Bai Diao.

"Squeak..." The white mink made a cheerful cry, holding up his little paws and touching his stomach, as if he was saying that he didn't eat much and had just had enough.

Ximen Qing laughed and scolded: "You foodie!"

After scolding, Ximen Qing looked around, intending to find something to eat for it. This time, Ximen Qing was shocked because he found that someone was following him!

Master! Grandmaster realm!

Ximen Qing first felt that he judged the strength of the stalker.

Then, Ximen Qing snorted coldly, began to take steps and walk through the crowd. Sure enough, an old man with white hair was following him not far away.

Ximen Qing hurriedly changed direction and walked towards a small wood in the north of the city. It was quieter and suitable for hands-on work.

"Master Master! It seems that it is Elder Kunlun, it should be sent by Zhao Yunti! Finally, I'm going to do it! Haha, I've been waiting for a long time these days! Damn, if the grandmaster doesn't come out, the level of the grandmaster is just a big deal in my eyes! Today, I'll have a good fight!" Ximen Qing licked his tongue, thinking in his heart.

Then Ximen Qing patted the white marten in his arms and whispered: "Greedy ghost, can you do it first later?"

The white marten drilled Ximen Qinghuai with his head, and then nodded humanely.

Ximen Qing smiled, then stepped on Xue Wuhen and moved, his body flashed, and flickered directly among the crowd and disappeared.

The old man behind him was shocked. He did not expect Ximen Qing's light skills to be so mysterious.

Then he turned his pace, then ran like a cheetah, and followed closely.

Ximen Qing quickly came to the woods in the north and walked in.

After a while, the old man rushed over.

He threw out his double blades and his hands and carefully entered the woods.

The old man glanced around and shouted, "Come out, Ximen Qing, I promise you to keep your entire body!"

Immediately, Ximen Qing's voice came from all sides: "Who are you from Kunlun?"

The old man frowned deeply.

He had no idea that Ximen Qing not only had great light skills, but also had profound skills. This method of transmitting sounds made him unable to locate it!
