Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

In this meeting, although he was already Cao Bin's subordinate, he was still a little apprehensive when he saw Zhong Erlang.

Relatively speaking, it is much more comfortable under Cao Bin's men.

At least he wasn't as ruthless as Zhong Erlang, even though he knew he had a case, he didn't feel disgusted at all.

As long as his character is reliable and his ability is excellent, Cao Bin will never treat him badly.

Seeing what Lu Zhishen said, Zhong Saburo was a little embarrassed, he knew what kind of person his second brother was.

If someone violates the death penalty military law, beheading is light.

Sometimes in order to warn everyone, he would even dig out his heart and soul, even he felt very cruel when he saw it.

Although Zhong Shiheng has taught him many times, but Zhong Erlang will not change, he can only let it go.

Severe punishment and harsh laws are his unique means of leading troops, and even the imperial court has no way to say anything.

Lu Zhishen laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Major General. Uncle Cao has always been generous. There must be many beauties in Xixia's annihilation this time."

"As long as you fight the enemy bravely, I'll tell Uncle to reward you with two beauties from the Western Regions."

Zhong Saburo's eyes lit up and said, "Really?"

Lu Zhishen revealed a bit of pleasure in revenge, he laughed and said:

"Beauties from the Western Regions are just trivial matters, even blond-haired and blue-eyed horses."

Xixia occupies the Hexi Corridor, which is an important channel between the East and the West. There are not many Western Region merchants in the Song Dynasty now, because Xixia has set up too many checkpoints and taxes are extremely heavy.

Otherwise, Bianjing would be more prosperous than it is now.

Wu Song saw that Lu Zhishen bewitched Zhong Sanlang to learn bad things, so he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and ignored them.

Just as they were talking, a fast horse suddenly appeared in the valley and ran towards this side, panting:

"Report to Uncle, Deputy Commander Zhong has won a big victory, Wei Mingshanxi's defeated army is fleeing here."

"General Zhong Er and General Cao are leading the cavalry to pursue!"

At this time, Cao Bin had already changed into his pretentious attire, waved the feather fan in his hand, stood up and said with a smile:

"Okay, today we're going to burn the 'Upper Valley'!"

The big battle that will shock the world, of course, cannot be taken lightly, it must be well-dressed, so that fans can have a sense of picture in their minds.

Seeing Cao Bin dressed as a scribe, and looking at the three beauties beside him, Zhong Sanlang couldn't help swallowing and said:

"Marshal Cao is so weak, don't you know how unbearable it is?"

Lu Zhishen said with disdain: "The three of you are tied together, and you are not the uncle's opponent."

Although Cao Bin hardly showed his martial arts outside, Lu Zhishen knew his real skills.

If you attack with all your strength, you are no match for him, let alone Zhong Saburo...

It is not difficult to defeat Wei Mingshanxi's remnant army, the difficulty is how to wipe them all out and capture him.

If he was allowed to escape back to the Hengshan camp, perhaps tens of thousands of troops would gather again.

If Cao Bin wanted to solve the future troubles in one fell swoop, he had to keep Wei Ming Shanxi here.

In order to ensure that Wei Mingshanxi came to the place where the ambush was set according to his intention, Cao Bin arranged many ambush soldiers to bluff.

In fact, he is not sure whether Wei Mingshanxi will fall into the trap.

At this moment, Zhong Saburo suddenly shouted: "Come here, come here."

Lu Zhishen hastily shouted: "Shut up, don't startle the snake."

Zhong Saburo came to his senses immediately, quickly covered his mouth, and lay down on the cliff to watch.

In a short while, I heard horseshoes thundering in the valley and smoke and dust everywhere, and more than 2 horses hurried into the valley.

While fleeing on horseback, Wei Mingshanxi suddenly felt his hair stand up and his whole body turned cold.

Startled, he quickly looked up.

There are only beautiful mountain walls all around, and the terrain is dangerous and beautiful, which is exactly the boundary for ambushes.

He quickly shouted: "Stop!"

His generals stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter, there are Song cavalry chasing behind us!"

Wei Mingshan pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "If I were from the Song Dynasty, I would set up an ambush here..."

As he was speaking, suddenly there was a loud gong on the mountain, and countless laughs echoed in the valley:

"Wei Ming Shanxi, you have fallen into my uncle's trick!"

Wei Mingshan was shocked, knowing that he could not escape, he kicked the horse hard and shouted loudly:

"Don't look back, keep going forward, rush out for me!"

Countless rockets shot down from the top of the mountain, and immediately ignited the dry firewood and kerosene that had been arranged long ago. For a while, thick smoke billowed, mixed with flames, soaring into the sky.

At the same time, the Song army above the valley kept dropping dry firewood to add fuel to the fire.

Wei Mingshanxi rushed to the mouth of the valley, saw a stone wall living in the way, and there were two or three thousand Song soldiers hiding behind, holding the bow of the gods and staring at them, and suddenly despaired.

"Cao Bin, Zhong Shiheng, my lord curses you to die!"

As he said that, he was about to cut his neck and commit suicide. Several generals under him were shocked when they saw this, and quickly grabbed his sword to persuade him:

"There are few soldiers in the Song Dynasty, the king can pretend to surrender, wait for them to put out the fire, we will protect the king and rush out!"

At this time, Cao Bin was shaking his feather fan, looking at the miserable figure in the fire below, and said with compassion:

"Hey, burning and killing the same kind hurts the peace of heaven!"

Just as he was talking, suddenly shouted below:

"Uncle Cao, stop, I will surrender, please let us out!"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, then pondered:

"It's better to burn it for a while, there are too many enemies, I don't worry!"

When everyone heard the words, they immediately collapsed. Is this too "compassionate"?

Hu Sanniang couldn't help rolling her eyes several times.

Zhong Saburo didn't care so much, and said with a look of admiration:

"Uncle wins more with less, and wins [-] Xixia iron cavalry. He will surely shock the government and the public, and his name will go down in history..."

Wei Mingshan was delighted to see that Cao Bin was not fooled, and was immediately disappointed.

However, he has already made up his mind to die once, and if he is asked to kill himself again, he is a little bit hesitant to do so.

Hearing the shrill screams from the foot of the mountain, Bui Yi Xiangyun behind Cao Bin hesitated to speak.

At this time, Cao Bin waved his hand and said:

"Okay, don't add firewood!"

Seeing this, Bui Yi Xiangyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if she followed Cao Bin, she was always from Xixia. Seeing her compatriots being killed, she would naturally feel unbearable.

It's just that the two armies are fighting, either you die or I die, she knows that she is not qualified to ask Cao Bin to show mercy.

At this time, seeing that he was able to forgive me, I was extremely grateful.

It was already evening when the fire was extinguished.

The blood-red setting sun is crumbling, and the lingering smoke rises from the valley, a kind of sadness emerges spontaneously.

"Uncle, I'll take someone down to search."

Wu Song asked for your order.

Cao Bin waved his hand and said:

"Go, if you are still alive, save it."

Counting after the war, there were still 4000 people left in the Xixia Remnant Army, and Wei Mingshanxi also survived.

It's just that he was already covered in black and gray, and he was extremely embarrassed, and was guarded in a shallow cave by his subordinates.

"[-], my [-] Daxia boy, I will die here."

When Wei Mingshanxi was captured, he burst into tears and regretted endlessly.

It never occurred to him that he would come here in high spirits, but he would end up completely wiped out.

Cao Bin ignored him, but sent him to the court to ask for credit.

The next day, after reuniting with Zhong Shiheng, Cao Bin went straight to the Xixia Hengshan camp without any delay.

One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, and countless silver coins of various soldiers and armor were found from it.

This is neither a city nor the Xixia Palace, and it is not necessary to hand over the seized items to the imperial court.

So Cao Bin made the decision, and all the parts were given to the soldiers under his command.

Forty or fifty per person, the soldiers burst out with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that Cao Bin brought all the food with him, Zhong Shiheng couldn't help but smiled wryly:

"Marshal, there is too much food in our army. If we add the one hundred thousand shi, it will be enough for us to eat for more than half a year."

However, Cao Bin firmly stated that he must bring food and grass.

It's not that he had the foresight to know that Xixia wanted to fortify the wall and clear the country.

As a later generation Chinese, he has watched too many war dramas, and his fear of insufficient firepower has been burned into his bones.

The firepower that Cao Bin understands includes all logistical needs such as weapons and food.

He will never allow his soldiers to fall into the dilemma of fighting with outdated weapons and hungry stomachs.

How could Zhong Shiheng understand Cao Bin's obsession? Seeing his persistence, he could only bring all the food...

Not long after, the Privy Council received a report on the Battle of Mizhi. Pan Renmei almost didn't jump up after watching the battle.

He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly announced the good news to the emperor.

Not only the Zhengshitang and the Third Division, but also the Sijiayuan, where most of the New Deal officials are located.

The emperor looked at the report of the annihilation of [-] people and the breakthrough of Hengshan, and walked around excitedly. After turning around three times, three words popped out:

"Good good!"

"I didn't expect the first good news to be sent by Cao Bin, [-] Western Xia cavalry, Cao Bin is really my defender Huo."

Pan Renmei immediately joked:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this attack on Xia is expected to be a complete victory."

Fu Bi and the others were also full of excitement. They only felt that the rise of the country was just today. For the New Deal, it was nothing less than a life-saving medicine.

Cai Jing hid back, lest the emperor see him.

After all, before Cao Bin set out to fight, he had played a tricky game. If the emperor remembered him, he might be the leader.

The emperor was full of joy, he waved his big hand and said: "I want to reward..."

The corners of Cai Jing's eyes twitched, but Pan Renmei raised her hands in agreement:

"Your Majesty is wise, if Uncle Zhongjing knows His Majesty's kindness, he must be even more courageous."

Fu Bi pondered for a while and said:

"The Northwest War is over, and the rewards are not in line with court rules at this time..."

"Bo Jun Zhongjing is very smart, it is better to let him act cheaply and no longer be restrained by Master Tong of Hedong Army."

The emperor pondered for a long while before nodding:

"First give his wife, Pang, a third-rank Shuren, and after Xixia is destroyed, he will be rewarded together!"

All the ministers were stunned when they heard this, which was equivalent to promising Cao Bin to be a Marquis.

The canonization given by the imperial court to a woman is generally equal to the rank of her husband.
