Three anecdotes

Cardinal Jin sent troops to Jing Chuan, which really solved Liu Chengchou's urgent need.

The city ran out of ammunition and food, and the common people lived only with fighting spirit. I heard that the Di people captured the city, and they would definitely slaughter the city. Rather than dying under the butcher's knives of the Hulu, it is better to defend the city with one's body. It is better to die in battle than to be slaughtered. .

There is no bran in the cauldron in Liu Chengchou's camp, the pagoda tree flowers have been eaten long ago, and even the tassels that fell to the ground were picked up by children. Jingchuan is a big city, and since it is a city, only the suburbs have land. Nehad was extremely cunning, so he laid down all the soldiers on the outskirts of the city, ready to go, and ordered a group of soldiers to hold machetes and crawl in the wheat fields. Severing the person's feet, under the name of screaming, a hundred arrows were fired at once, leaving no one behind.

Jingchuan is an isolated city, even if it used to be prosperous, so what.

Liu Chengchou was at a loss, and almost made up his mind to die in the city. When the news came that his youngest son was shot dead by Di Ren's random arrows, his concubine held his son's body and cried, "Why are you so stupid? , why did you go to the city?"

At that time, the youngest son of the coach died, and everyone came to pay his respects. Hearing this, they all fell silent.

Liu Chengchou stopped drinking his concubine, "Everyone is a citizen of Daliang, fighting bloody battles, and everyone regards death as home. It is his duty and honor for Tao'er to die for Jingchuan. You are a woman in a deep house, why are you talking nonsense? , disturb our army's morale, and ruin my son's reputation!" He made an impassioned speech, then pulled out the sword at his waist, pierced Xiaoxing's chest with a sword, and swore to the sky with the sword, "My Liu family will live and die with Jingchuan."

The people are subdued, and the people return to their hearts.

Three days ago, when Liu Chengchou's eldest son went out to search for food in the city, his feet were cut off by a commander of the Di people.Nehad ordered people to tie Liu Yun to a flagpole and hang it on the top of the city. He ordered Liu Chengchou to surrender. Liu Chengchou stood on the tower, holding the Jingbian King's army flag, and did not retreat a step.

When Cardinal Jin arrived with his troops, Liu Chengchou was facing Nehad.

The soldiers reported that Cardinal Jin had arrived, and the people from the four counties came to reinforce them. Nehad saw with his own eyes that groups of people climbed up to the top of the city, set up catapults on the top of the city, and put on a chain bow every ten steps. He set up a large pot, boiled soup and water, and said, if he did not surrender before sunset, Liu Yun would be thrown into the pot.

When Cardinal Jin entered the city, Jing Shanbo brought people to meet him. After entering the city, Cardinal Jin first ordered to boil water and rice. Because the city had been cut off from rice and food for several days, he only dared to cook thick porridge, and the children drank some sunburned soup floating on it. , the young and strong drink some porridge to replenish their strength, because the soup and water are sent by the villagers of the four counties, and Jing Xiaoxia, the younger brother of King Jingbian, is in the middle, not to mention that everyone is really hungry. Just smelling the aroma of sitting rice and cooking rice makes people salivate, but no one hypocritically thinks that they will not be favored by Cardinal Jin.

Cardinal Jin saw that the cooking pots had been set up all around, and Liu Chengchou's military discipline was strict. The people guarding the city and the town soldiers ate first, and then the women and children. The real Xiang army fell behind.Cardinal Jin knew that these soldiers had been guarding the isolated city for more than a month, and their physical strength and strength could not keep up. He simply prepared food for them and ordered the Huotou army to open fire immediately. Who knew that although everyone in the Xiang army was salivating, none of them violated the military order. , Said, Master Liu strictly ordered that food in the city be given to the people first, Jing Shanbo praised, "My elder brother is also in the same way when running the army, Liu Qing has won the strength of King Jing's army."

Cardinal Jin looked at this unearthly Jing Xiaoxia, and almost cursed out loud. He went to the city to look for Liu Chengchou in person, but he saw Liu Chengchou standing brazenly on the top of the city with the military flag of Prince Jing in his hand. The pot of de soup was roaring, white smoke rose, he actually held the king's flag in his hand, and did not retreat at all.Seeing Cardinal Jin, he held the flag in his right hand, and suddenly knelt down on his left knee, "Thank you, my lord, for your generous help!"

Cardinal Jin quickly stretched out his hand to help him, but he only felt the bony joints, which were much thinner than himself, a terminally ill man.

Cardinal Jin also saw the dying person on the flagpole outside the city, but he straightened his spine, and saw the huge soup wok below, "This is——"

Liu Chengchou clenched his fist with one hand, "It's the child."

Cardinal Jin suddenly understood, standing on the top of the wall, his internal force transmitted his voice, "General Nehad under the Khan's tent of Da Didianlian listened to the order, and I order you as the commander-in-chief of Da Di's army and horses, to release Young Master Liu immediately, otherwise you will be killed." , and engage in military law." He was secretly dissipated by Chu Yi, and he was almost humiliated by the silkworm room. As soon as he escaped, he practiced his internal skills, because martial arts are the foundation of all his great achievements, even if it breaks his heart, he doesn't care about it. .Mr. Chonghua's willpower is so strong, and he is not afraid of backlash, so he has achieved great success.It's just that the art of sound transmission for thousands of miles, although it can't really hear the sound for thousands of miles, it is still possible to transmit the sound for ten miles.In addition, he reverses the pulse of the heart, and martial arts are all ways of "breaking", so his sound transmission technique, the farther away, the clearer it is.Liu Chengchou here only felt his voice was clear and turbulent, but Nehad's voice was thunderous and powerful like a bell.

Nehad saw the enemy's chisel arrows and crossbows erected on the top of the enemy's city. He knew that Cardinal Jin was not enough to have such a heavy army. , immediately jumped onto the top of the wall, and shouted, "You are a barbarian who sells your ass, my family has a lot of trust in you, and you actually surrendered to the enemy. According to my Dadi's military law, you should have been trampled to death by thousands of horses." How dare you order me?" He cursed angrily, but because of his lack of internal strength, even if he was furious, the scolding could not reach Jingchuan.

Only Cardinal Jin's internal strength is excellent, Jing Shanbo was trained by famous masters since he was a child, and he heard it clearly.

Jing Shanbo couldn't help but cast a glance at Cardinal Jin, but saw that his face was as calm as a lake, as if he was not at all moved by the filthy words.

Nehad scolded this sentence, and he didn't hear back from the other party for a long time. He became angry from embarrassment, and immediately raised the flag.

Cardinal Jin shouted, "Bold!"

Liu Chengchou tightly held the order flag in his hand and made a creaking sound, but he didn't say a word after all.

Cardinal Jin raised his voice, "The crossbowman listens to the order and releases the arrow!"

But Liu Chengchou yelled angrily, "Wait a minute."

Cardinal Jin looked back at him and saw that his eyes were red and his face was full of sadness, "Thank you, Young Master Zhouquan. Nehad is cruel, and Yun'er's death is inevitable. We don't have many weapons, so we leave arrows to avenge him."

Nehad was about to wave his hand down, but he heard Cardinal Jin stop drinking. He thought that there were conditions to talk about, so he stepped onto the high platform and smiled triumphantly.

Liu Chengchou clasped his fists at Jing Shanbo, "Master Jing, please wait for me to tell Yun'er that today's generous sacrifice to the country will surely avenge him in the Ming Dynasty, so that I will live up to my Liu family's reputation." He Loyal to Shang Chengbi, his son's life is at stake, but he doesn't want to use the mouth of Cardinal Jin to pass on the word.Cardinal Jin knew that he was strong, but he didn't think he was disobedient.

Jing Shanbo defended the city with him these days, and was impressed by his loyalty and integrity, so he awarded the Jingbian King's Army Banner to him.Hearing his words now, I am very impressed, bowed down and said, "Lord Liu is full of loyalty, Xiao Jing admires it. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge the eldest and second sons."

Liu Chengchou had tears in his eyes, but he didn't answer.

Jing Shanbo got up and said, "Young Master Yun, you went to the disaster with generosity today. The Liu family is full of loyalty and will surely have a long history. I, Jing Shanbo, swear in the name of King Jingbian that I will definitely expel Dilu and avenge you!"

That Mr. Liu Yun is deeply aware of his father's nature, his feet have been broken, he knew that if he fell into the hands of the Di people, he would be threatened and forced to surrender to his father, he bit his tongue early, but was discovered unexpectedly, and Nehad stuffed a soft cloth into his mouth He saw his father standing on the wall with King Jing’s army flag standing on the opposite wall, and he thought that the person his father admired most in his life was King Jingbian, and he often sighed that he had no chance to follow King Jingbian’s command.Now, to be able to fight with King Jing's military flag in hand, and to hear that King Jingbian's younger brother personally promised to avenge him, he is not afraid of death, what is he more afraid of now.Although he was tied to the flagpole and trapped on a high platform, he immediately nodded heavily. On the opposite side Liu Chengchou saw him nodding, holding the flag in his left hand, and stroking his heart with his right fist. Liu Yun saw that his father understood his intentions. With a smile on his face, he seems to regard death as home.

Seeing that the Liang people were so stubborn, Nehad immediately waved the command flag, and the sword and axe immediately cut off the flagpole, and Liu Yun fell straight from the flagpole, like autumn leaves, into a pot of soup. middle.

The defenders on the city saw him calmly and righteously, everyone admired him, and they bowed down at the top of the city one after another. Liu Chengchou held the military flag tightly, and spurted a mouthful of blood from his throat, but he did not want to shake the morale of the army, and swallowed it.In Jingchuan City, there was a loud cry of grief.

Cardinal Jin suddenly shouted, "Nehad, how dare you disobey the military order!" As he spoke, he stretched his hand back, and the abandoned armor that had been hidden behind Cardinal Jin's body immediately presented a huge bow. Cardinal Jin drew the bow and shot, and the arrow sprint.Nehad heard him yelling and was about to yell back, but suddenly saw a huge arrow in front of him, piercing the wind and clouds, and before he could react, the iron arrow passed through his chest, his mouth was still open, but he had already fallen. When I got off the high platform, I also fell into the soup pot.

Above and below the city, there was silence.

Cardinal Jin said in Beidi dialect, "If you commit crimes below, you will be punished for death."

The defenders in Jingchuan City saw him bend his bow and lead an arrow, and shot the enemy leader to death with one arrow. Everyone was horrified and stunned, and they didn't even remember to cheer.

Under the tower, the Beidi army couldn't believe that the general Du who followed the sweat to sweep the grasslands in recent years was shot through the chest with one arrow, and all of them were stunned, not knowing how to deal with it.

Cardinal Jin suddenly took out a crimson flag from his arms, and when the flag moved, it was like a burning cloud. Suddenly, elite soldiers in snow clothes came from all directions, forming a shield formation, and surrounded the Beidi Corps.

Cardinal Jin stood safely at the top of the city, looking down at his feet, seeing Beidi soldiers already in the urn, Xiao Ran smiled.

Today Nehad captured Liu Yun, relying on his strong army and strong horses, Jingchuan was trapped in the isolated city, and only two hundred soldiers came to force him to surrender.He knew that Liu Chengchou was extremely tough and would never give in, so he had already made the decision to cook his own son under Jingchuan City to disturb his mood, but unexpectedly, he lost his life under the city.

As soon as Nehad died, the highest official here was Chanjie, the big household. As soon as Chanjie saw Xueyiwei, he knew that Cardinal Jin was really planning to kill, so he immediately stabilized the soldiers and confronted Shensha, the leader of Xueyiwei. , "General Manager Jin is helping the enemy before the battle, is he going to rebel?"

Shen Sha said, "The Great Khan is the most strict in governing the army, what should I do next?"

Chanjie shouted sharply, "Cardinal Jin is collaborating with the enemy."

Shen Sha said coldly, "You are not allowed to guess at the master's magic trick at will. Seeing the sweaty face, take off your boots, and the chief is kind, and will save your life." Beidi's begging etiquette, except Put off your left boot and worship with your forehead touching the ground.

Enraged by Chensha, Chanjie yelled angrily in Di language, "You're talking nonsense, the army of the Great Khan must die."

Shen Sha raised his right hand, "Chanjie disobeyed before the battle, kill!"

Seeing that there was nothing to talk about, Chanjie also opened his posture. Beidi was the army of tigers and wolves. Really not afraid of anyone.Liu Chengchou saw that although there were only two hundred Beidi soldiers in the city, but the army was well-organized and full of murderous looks, he couldn't help worrying, "Mr. Jin—"

Cardinal Jin smiled slightly, "Looking for death."

Liu Chengchou's heart skipped a beat, when he looked closely, he saw several long or short copper pipes protruding from the joint of the snow-clothed shield formation.

When Chanjie saw the blunderbuss in the snow-clothed guard formation, he immediately changed his color. He is Helianxi's confidant, and he once heard that the great Khan was impressed by Cardinal Jin's ability, and he still specializes in refining various firearms.Among them is a kind called Huozhan Gun, which hides lead bullets in copper tubes and fires them with gunpowder. It is extremely powerful, and can smash an adult wild camel to pieces with one shot, which is extremely cruel.Chanjie had only heard about it, but had never seen it before. Seeing that Xue Yiwei actually set up a firearm in the shield formation, which was similar to the firearm that Da Khan had mentioned, he swallowed involuntarily.

Since He Lianxi came to power, he has never failed to mop up the grasslands. How could these Beidi troops know how powerful Cardinal Jin is?Mr. Chonghua keeps a low profile and commits himself to defile himself. Even those who have heard of his reputation think that he is just relying on his unparalleled appearance.

Seeing the discoloration of Chanjie's face, Shen Sha immediately ordered the flag to point to the huge soup wok, which was made of copper and was so huge that Liu Yun died, and Nehad was also buried in it.After Nehad fell into the cauldron, all the soldiers from Beidi hurried to fish it up, but they couldn’t pick it up because the copper wok was too big. Now, when the sand sinks and the flag is shaken, the sound of thunder rushes over the mountains and seas, dust and smoke are everywhere, and the earth shakes. Even Liu Chengchou who was standing on the top of the city felt the vibration of the military flag in his palm.As soon as the gun barrel rang, the huge copper wok shattered into pieces, and hot soup splashed out.

Xueyiwei's place is a copper-enclosed iron horse, as immovable as a mountain.

When the world was turned upside down, Cardinal Jin lowered a long rope from the top of the city, like a goose eagle soaring into the sky, or a geese treading snow, they arrived suddenly and gracefully.Seeing him going down to the city in person, Xue Yiwei immediately lined up. Cardinal Jin shook his head slightly, and Xue Yiwei immediately straightened up his army and stood upright.The two armies were facing each other, and the battle was about to break out. He didn't wear armor or a weapon, and walked into the front of the battle in civilian clothes.Beidi soldiers drew their swords one after another, but Cardinal Jin just stopped in front of the wreckage of the blown copper wok, stroked his heart with his hands, and bowed to thank, "It is Chonghua's fault that the bones of loyal ministers were separated." He suddenly raised his voice, "Contain Mr. Liu's bones and bury them generously."

"Yes." Xue Yiwei responded with a shield, solemn and respectful.

Cardinal Jin then said in Beidi language, "Contain Nehad's bones and bury them generously."

"Yes."

Beidi soldiers had never seen such a domineering firearm. As soon as they fired the blunderbuss, their fighting spirit was extinguished. When they saw him coming to the city alone, they felt fear from their hearts. Di people have always admired heroes.

Cardinal Jin faced Di soldiers all over the ground, some were wounded by blown copper pieces, some were scalded by splashing boiling water, and some were frightened by the power of the firecup. Cardinal Jin pointed to the sky with his right hand and spoke in Di language He shouted sharply, "How can the Khan's army be so useless!"

Frightened by his power, all the soldiers rushed to the banner one after another and re-arranged. Those who were seriously injured formed a line of their own. Also stood up quickly.

Cardinal Jin suddenly tore off the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the huge wolf head on his forearm, "We are invincible, relying on our horses, our bows, and our courage. Threats from naive little people. Nehad corrupted my Tianwei, disobeyed my laws, insulted my army's voice, and even disobeyed orders. Let's break it up in front of the Khan!"

Chanjie took the lead to take a step forward, cut his shoulder with his left hand, knelt down on one knee, and paid homage to Cardinal Jin with the Beidi ceremony.

Chanjie said in a trembling voice, "General Du was killed in battle. At this moment, there are still 1 people in Chen Shizhou. Please show me the commander-in-chief."

Cardinal Jin didn't even look at him, and moved his left sleeve slightly to signal the snow clothes behind him, "I tied them all up!"

"Yes!" Xue Yiwei obeyed all orders and prohibited them, and in a short while, more than 180 Beidi soldiers were tightly tied up.

When Mr. Jin entered the city, he solved the danger of Jingchuan with one arrow and one shot without spending a single soldier.He Lianxi, the Beidi wolf lord who went deep into Suzhou, heard the report and drank a long drink, "As expected of my Dadi's military commander, the Northwest is already in his pocket."

All the generals congratulated in unison, but retreated.

He Lianxi and the other generals came out of the tent, and suddenly exerted force with their right hand, crushing the bone bottle in their palm, "Chonghua, I'll wait for you for three days, I hope your explanation can really convince me."
