Chapter 359 Expediency, swallow your breath
In front of the formation of the two armies, there were five small battlefields where the generals of both sides fought against each other. Especially in the last two strong men, they fought fiercely. They were very strong and it was just a collision of strength. You hit me with a hammer and I returned a knife with a knife. The metal clashed with each other. The roars were one after another.
, the scene is intense and the most attention-grabbing.
However, at this moment, a shrill scream resounded. Everyone looked sideways, and it was Su Ding who was suddenly showing off his power, swinging his phoenix wings and gold-plated hammer and smashing it wildly, knocking out the sword in the hand of Zeng Mi, the second son of the Zeng family.
.Then he directly thrust the weapon into the opponent's chest and raised it high.
After Zeng Mi let out a shrill scream, he was thrown to the ground and stopped moving.
The second among the five tigers of the Zeng family, die!
"Ah! My son, my son..." Zeng finally calmed down, but when he saw his son being killed, he immediately stamped his feet and howled loudly, crying out in grief.
Xianggong Cao had long since lost his expression of looking forward to a good show, and knew that this time he was going to play big. There was blood and people died one after another, and the two sides got really angry. Although Sun Fa shook his head in frustration, he still did not forget to remind him to stop fighting.
"Yes, yes, stop fighting. The time is not right yet. Let them stop fighting." Zeng Neng heard someone shouting as if they were grasping at straws.
The second son of the Zeng family was killed, and the remaining three tigers of the Zeng family had red eyes and screamed repeatedly. They attacked desperately, trying to kill their opponents and avenge their brothers.
It's a pity that I don't have enough strength to escape.
Although Zeng Tu was brave, skilled in martial arts, and explosive, his opponent was the leopard-headed Lin Chong. Coach Lin emphasized the importance of playing steadily and steadily, neither rushing nor slowing down. The Lin family's marksmanship was exquisite, and they could handle it no matter how hard the opponent tried.
Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng are proficient in bow and horse. Although their martial arts are good, their enemies are more fierce. Shan Shiqi is a fierce general from Hebei with strong martial arts. Yuan Lang is even more incredible. In his original trajectory, he could fight the Thunderbolt Fire Qin and Ming Dynasties for 150 rounds.
People can easily deal with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid.
No matter how hard Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng fought and howled, not only could they not escape, but they were also in danger and almost felled off their horses.
On the other side, the Danger God Ikubosi was also in a bad situation. After encountering the big man for more than ten moves, he was at a disadvantage and retreated steadily.
If you keep playing, it will probably be completely discounted!
Shi Wengong was sad in his heart, but he did not lose his mind. Looking at the battlefield conditions everywhere, he knew that the battle could not be continued, so he ordered the soldiers to ring gold.
Bang bang bang, the sound of gongs beating was heard.
Generals in Zengtou City were killed one after another, and the team's energy was frustrated and morale was low. Now that they heard the sound of gold, they began to retreat, and their formations were scattered.
The generals fighting in Gaixin had different expressions on their faces and forced the enemy back, then turned their horses and left.
"You want to run away? How can it be that easy? Kill them!" When Chao Gai saw this, how could he let them escape? He led his army to cover up the killing, and the cavalrymen bent their bows and arrows. Arrows followed the enemy and shot at them. Many people were hit by arrows and were shot.
Catch up and cut him down.
Hundreds of people fell all the way until they retreated into Zengtou City. The defenders on the fence threw rolling wooden rocks and rocks to block the pursuers. The Chao army stopped the pursuit and retreated.
"Ah, Zengtou City has done many evil things and oppressed the people. Now they attack the wedding ceremony of the chief military officer of Jeju. We are rebellious officials and traitors. We are ordered to suppress the rebellion and surrender quickly. Otherwise, men, women, old and young will be killed without mercy?"
Fengtai, Su Ding and other generals led their troops outside, galloping around and shouting. They denounced the rebels over and over again, and some soldiers carried all the corpses and threw them within the range of arrows to conduct a psychological offensive.
"Father, the second and fourth sons are gone."
"Father, my two brothers died in the battle."
Zeng Tu, Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng returned covered in blood and came to see Zeng Nong crying.
"My son, my son!" Elder Zeng burst into tears again and cried out in sorrow. Human beings are not grass and trees, so who can bring peace? The descendants of the Jurchens are no exception.
The father and son thought about their son and his brother's death, their eyes were red, they held their heads and cried.
Ouch, I have never seen the people of Zeng Tau City so pitiful!
Xianggong Cao and Sun Fa looked at each other with ugly expressions. They looked at each other without sadness but with gloating. Do you feel that helpless feeling when you meet a ruthless person? Even the teacher Shi Wengong, who had been silent all the time, also felt this way.
The sentence "Evil people need to be punished by evil people" is very vivid and appropriate to the situation.
After the father and son were grieved, all that was left was how to take revenge.
The eldest son of the Zeng family, Zeng Tu, could almost bleed from his eyes. He gritted his teeth and expressed his stance: "Father, the second and fourth sons are gone. We must pay with blood."
Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng wiped their noses and tears, with hatred and deep resentment on their faces: "That is, we Jurchen warriors must not let go of Jeju Chao Gai's son, and the murderer of the two brothers must be caught and cut into pieces.
"
"My son, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! The situation is not right, please be patient." Although Zeng Nong was heartbroken, he did not lose his mind and comforted his three remaining sons, fearing that they would not be able to think about Shuaijun's battle and make mistakes.
"The situation is unclear right now, so we can only endure it for a while."
When Zeng Tu, Zeng Suo, and Zeng Sheng heard this, they did not make any fuss but gritted their teeth and swore that when the time came, they would wipe out Jeju Chao Gai and his subordinates.
Yes, it is annihilation, they have this ability.
In fact, what others, including the teacher Shi Wengong, didn't know was that the rise of the Jurchens in the north and their founding of the country naturally connected them with their fellow tribesmen scattered throughout the country. The Zeng family who had fled to the Song Dynasty decades ago was also connected.
They had already secretly discussed with the Wanyan tribe in the north to respond to the uprising one day in the future. As long as the northern army went south, Zengtou City would immediately rebel against the Song Dynasty and go north to support or serve as a vanguard. It would be easy to take revenge again.
Therefore, Zengtou City's rejection of foreigners and internal grouping was premeditated. What is ridiculous is that the Song Dynasty court wanted to cooperate with them, which was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Zeng Nong comforted his son, put away the hatred in his old eyes, turned around and looked at Lingzhou Zhizhou Xianggong Cao, walked a few steps forward, bowed and saluted: "Sir, please lend a helping hand and send troops to help Zeng
First market."
"Hey, it's difficult!" Cao Xianggong shook his head without thinking, and then sighed and explained: "It's not that I don't help, but that I don't dare to help. Jeju Chao Gai put it down, and the Lingzhou government will be punished if it dares to interfere in this matter.
Lose."
Zeng Nong frowned when he heard these words and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Sir, there is Privy Tong behind you, how dare a general manager like Chao Gai do this?"
"Humph, you have the nerve to say that!" Cao Zhizhou got angry when he mentioned this, and with a cold face, he brought a large number of people to Chao Gai to complain. The latter accepted the complaint, which showed that even the Privy Council did not dare to say that he could not offend him.
Tube.
"I asked you to restrain yourself and don't go too far. What now? If you have to provoke Shandong Chao Gai, I will probably be implicated." Cao Xianggong was in a bad mood at this time and looked at these barbarians with vengeance.
"What are you afraid of? The worst thing is that we have to fight with them!"
Zeng Tu, Zeng Suo, and Zeng Sheng were wild and untamable, and their hot tempers came back again.
Zeng Nong was afraid of offending the Lingzhou government and losing foreign aid, so he dismissed his three sons and forced a smile on his face: "Sir, the bad son is very emotional after losing his brother. Please forgive me. I am willing to pay compensation and also ask you to rescue Zengtou Shi Ze.
.”
"This incident started because of you, for robbing other people's wedding gifts." Mr. Cao's expression softened, and then he sighed: "I will go there myself, hoping to resolve this crisis."
"Then thank you very much, sir. I will thank you very much."
Zeng Nong sighed like a victim and thanked Xianggong Cao again and again.
Outside Zengtou City, the Chao family army did not blindly attack, but retreated ten miles to set up camp. After Chao Gai assigned patrol tasks, he beat drums and gathered the generals for a meeting.
Different from the mournful and gloomy scene in Zengtou City, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. Chao's army pursued them all the way, and except for a few unlucky ones with strained fingers, they killed hundreds of Jurchens and captured hundreds of horses, winning a small victory.
Chao Gai was the one who knew the truth of history, and he also had scouts from all over the place to inquire about the information. He knew better than anyone else that Zengtou City secretly contacted the Jurchens in the north, and used the method of secretly crossing Chencang to move and settle the tribesmen one by one. After decades, we have what we have today.
The scale is more than 3,000 households and more than 10,000 soldiers.
Historically, it was because of the rebellion of this force that the north of the Northern Song Dynasty quickly fell.
The ambition of a wolf is obvious!
Chao Gai naturally wanted to warn the generals around him that if they were not of my race, their minds would be different. He also instilled the concept of "cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze will bring new growth".
Hundreds of people fell down in the previous pursuit, and the kind-hearted girls Hu Sanniang and Hua Zi couldn't bear it. For this reason, Chao Gai gave a targeted warning.
"Don't look down on anyone, don't despise anyone, and don't feel pity for some people because you think they are innocent. Think about the people behind you who are the real innocent people. Are they at fault? What wrong things have they done and are they suffering?
We don’t have enough food, clothing, or warmth, but we still have to be beaten, so we can’t be soft-hearted towards our enemies. Being kind to our enemies is being cruel to ourselves.”
Hu Sanniang and Hua Zi were greatly encouraged when they heard these words. Thinking about the hatred of those ragged common people, their pretty faces gradually became firm. Even Han Shizhong, Li Yan, Han Yong, Sun An, etc. had their eyes clearer.
The common people are innocent, and what they have to do is to save those common people.
Chao Gai kept talking, and immediately pointed the finger at Zengtou City and gushed: "Zengtou City is a wolf. When we encounter tigers, we put our tail between our legs and behave like humans. I think they must feel that they can't beat them and swallow their anger. Before reporting to the government
Ask for help to resolve the crisis, and wait for support from the north before retaliating."
As if in response, Xiao Tianbao Su Ding hurried into the tent: "Brother, Lingzhou Cao Zhizhou came to visit in person to mediate the conflict."
"Did you see what I said?" Chao Gai looked around at the generals.
"My lord knows things like a god, but my younger brother is not as good as him." Xu Guanzhong, the first man on the left, was full of admiration. The other generals all agreed or were amazed.
Chao Gai knew in his heart that he was immune to everyone's compliments, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. The five tigers of the Zeng family are reckless. Elder Zeng can bend and stretch, and he can still swallow this breath after losing two sons. It is not easy. I won't
I’m going to see you, Guanzhong, you go discuss it and act according to the plan.”
"Yes, I will live up to my trust." Xu Guanzhong smiled, stood up and accepted the order. Then he strode out of the commander's tent and went to negotiate on behalf of the Chao family army.
