C5 Fusang Yu

Han Shizhong rode on horseback and used his skills to suppress the three armies and intimidate the riverside residence. Liu Shiguang was very appreciative of Han Shizhong, and wished that he could keep Han Shizhong by his side every day, as his lucky general. Han Shizhong must have had endless skills, courage, and foresight, but this was just a moment of glory, and who knew if his skills were as amazing as Han Shizhong's. After Han Shizhong returned to the stable, he moved at any time. What he lacked the most was opportunity, a real chance to kill the enemy. At that time, no one would suspect that he was trying to attract attention.

At this moment, Han Shizhong, who was promoted from a small centurion to a thousand-man commander, was naturally inseparable from the ability and boldness of riding and shooting on horseback in the drill grounds a few days ago. He could not be stopped, and was willing to be satisfied with his current situation, and wanted to kill the enemy in pain for the sake of the nation.

One day, Liu Shiguang's closest and most fearful, as well as the person he relied on and revered the most had come to this vanguard tent. This made him extremely happy, because this person was his direct superior — General Yuxi, Liu Yanqing. In fact, he was a general who relied entirely on him to defeat the enemy in the forward battle. The eunuch, who had only relied on the power of the emperor Zhao Ji to show off his power and enjoy the benefits of his power, was a greedy person who didn't know a thing about the world. He was the sort of person who dared to say that no one dared to disobey him, that no one dared to disobey him, that no one would dare to disrespect him, that no one would dare to offend him, that if they didn't want to live, that person would have no future. Naturally, this Liu Yanqing could only endure the anger of that eunuch. The purpose of this debacle was to allow all these generals who had been away for many years to place their military power in the hands of one person — the Emperor. And now, Zhao Qianhui spent his days sightseeing and enjoying himself, he had even the slightest thought of leading the troops, not to mention the ability to command thousands of men and horses. Therefore, he gave the Tiger Tally to the people around him to take charge of the army and let them do all the work.

Liu Yanqing thought about it again and again. Tong Tong wasn't someone who knew nothing. Otherwise, these loyal generals would have been jailed and demoted and returned to the land. Otherwise, he would be forced to call it quits. He believed that right now, he was not just serving the imperial government alone, risking his life and splattering his blood on the autumn battlefield, and he also had an aggressive disposition. His flesh and blood was also serving under his command, so he would lose his old life here, but his son was still young, so if he did not think about it a little, he would have to let the Liu family die a long time ago.

Liu Shiguang saw his father come to inspect the camp and was worried that his father would make a ruckus. He was afraid his father was being lawless and acting wildly. Liu Shiguang bowed respectfully and asked, "Father, why have you come here? Did something happen?" Liu Yanqing said harshly with an aged tone, "If I have nothing better to do, then I can't come and watch your rehearsal?" You wish that I would never come here, so that you can stay here and act as your general, showing off your strength! " How can that be? Daddy told me to just enjoy myself all day, as if I don't want to get ahead. Actually, I'm just staying here and waiting for orders. I'm only staying in the Western Xia's hinterland. However, Daddy's words must be spoken here. If people were to hear from the castrates with the surname 'Tong', they will at least remove them from their posts, and at most, they will be sent to the border to rejoin the army. " Liu Shiguang, upon seeing his father not being serious at all, actually refuted his father's words. Liu Yanqing was so angry that his eyebrows were raised and he glared at his father. Even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything. After sitting down, he hurriedly said, "I won't be reminiscing about the old days or blabbering about anything. This time, I have come to decide how to take down the riverbed, and if this battle goes well, then Silver Prefecture, River Prefecture, Shuo Prefecture, Qin Prefecture, and Minzhou will return to the Song Dynasty's area. So you can know the severity of this matter." Liu Shiguang had actually wanted to wait for the order from the higher-ups to launch a counterattack on Xixia. However, he was just ceasing his attacks and resting, so that he could fight whenever he wanted.

When he heard that his father had personally come to discuss the grand plan for him, the first thing he had was this exciting good news. He wished that he could immediately rush out and fight to the death with the Western Xia people. But he also knew that the most urgent matter was not to be trifled with. He could not help but frown and ask, "Then daddy, do you mean that I should be the one in the lead or the one in the lead? to give the Western Xia people a surprise? " If we were to launch a sneak attack, I'm afraid that it would be difficult to make the army attack at the same time, and it would be difficult for Little Xu and his men to completely eliminate us. This is the most troublesome part of it all, if I use strong crossbows as transport, I will only be able to stay with the Western Xia people on guard for seven days, and if we drag it out any longer, the situation will turn around with the help of the food. " Whether Liu Shiguang and Liu Yanqing were in trouble or not, he could not come up with a good plan to defeat the enemy.

An hour later, both of them wished that they could grow two wings on each side of the army and catch them off guard. With regards to their superior position, they were basically on the passive side and at a disadvantage, reacting to the situation like a child would probably backfire.

He could not help but think of a person, so he might as well report to his trusting father: "Daddy, don't worry, I actually have a person with exceptional courage and intelligence, but with such a lowly status, I'm afraid Daddy will blame you, and I don't dare to recommend it."

Liu Yanqing knew that his son's thoughts were fearing that he would become the scapegoat, that he would recognize a hero, that he would put a heavy emphasis on the character of a sage, and that in his hands, he would rob someone of his position. He sneered and said, "Good boy, I've set my eyes on you, and since you have such a capable man as a sworn brother, you should have recommended him a long time ago.

Liu Guangshi felt reassured, and immediately sent someone to invite Han Shizhong, "Send someone to invite the stable helper to come and discuss the matter." Liu Yanqing saw the determination on his son's face, and seemed to have long been prepared for the surprise attack on the enemy camp. He silently cursed in his heart, "This stinking brat has matured, to the point where he even hid it from me. In the future, I will definitely be more accomplished than I am. My usual teachings have not been in vain. " The joy on his face became thicker, and he became more expectant of the people his son highly respected.

He only heard a heavy voice from outside of the tent, "General, I wonder what important matter you have called your subordinate over for me. I have already arrived, may I enter?" Liu Shiguang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan as he replied loudly, "Come in quickly, it must be urgent." Liu Yanqing only waved at Liu Shiguang to indicate that he did not need to be impatient. He saw that the person who had entered was tall and big with long arms and legs, and was unusually tall and sturdy. With a tired face and the smell of alcohol on his body, he couldn't help but frown in doubt. This man was rather strange. See how his son handles things.

Liu Guangshi broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect Han Shizhong to not give him any face. If it weren't for the fact that they had to punish him severely with military discipline, he scolded him: "Drinking all day long without any ambition, how would I dare to take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Han Shizhong did not know who was this important person, to actually have the main general pay so much attention to him. His face was a little dazed, and the atmosphere was unusually tense as he smiled and said, "General, rest assured, I will definitely not go against the rules, and have missed out on something big."

Liu Guangshi didn't have the time to be serious with him, he only introduced him to the others. "This is General Liu Yanqing, the Great General of the Middle River Residence, the one who defended the enemy. He is also my father." Han Shizhong had long heard about this big shot who had frightened Liu Shiguang. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Subordinate is blind, and does not recognize general. Seeing him today, he is truly a good general." Liu Yanqing didn't expect this person to be so straightforward in nature, not even bothering to flatter or greet him. It seemed like the rumors were true. He returned the courtesy and said, "Little brother Han is indeed as the rumors say. He doesn't pretend or flatter us, good, good, good. Being famous is not as good as seeing you again. " Han Shizhong also made up nonsense, no longer being hypocritical, and directly asked, "May I know what urgent matter this subordinate is summoned for?" Liu Shiguang was about to answer, but Liu Yanqing interrupted him by asking, "I wonder what kind of plan little brother Han has for Riverside Residence?" "We can only be caught off guard, and get more with less!" Just as he finished, Han Shizhong replied without much thought. Liu Yanqing seemed to feel that this person was indeed not a drunkard. There was more praise on his face as he asked, "How do we act wisely? And how could he win by a small margin, to win by a key point? "If you have any thoughts, please speak your mind. I will not blame you. Even if it is wrong and you have the guts to guess, maybe it is really a good plan to destroy the enemy. The credit lies with you." Han Shizhong did not care whether he was punished or not. He was no longer like the hoodlum from a year or two ago who only knew how to drink and relieve boredom and raise horses to kill people.

"Please rest assured, General, leave this matter to me. I will take down the head of the Qing Province guard in one day. If I fail, I will listen to the commands of the leader of my men." Han Shizhong also did not say that his plan was just to place down a military order. He was confident and determined. It was as if the head of Western Xia's garrison had long since become his. Liu Shiguang was annoyed, thinking that if he did not have some ability, he would have thought highly of him. He did not know his own limits, boasting shamelessly and arrogantly, venting his anger a little, "Don't be impulsive, say that killing the enemy in a battle is not child's play." He hurriedly reprimanded Liu Shiguang to save some face for Han Shizhong, "Yea, you have to trust your own soldiers. I told you this long ago, you have to give your own life to your brothers to protect. That way, your brothers will win every battle, how could you forget?" Liu Shiguang had only scolded him out of respect for his elders. His face turned purple as he said, "Father's teachings are true. I will remember it in my heart and often remind you not to be negligent." How could Han Shizhong not hear the meaning behind Liu Shiguang's words? Although he was arrogant, he was confident that only after hearing Han Shizhong's words did he dare to speak them out, moreover, looking at the river terrain, it was not suitable for the army to force their way in, so he could only use wits to judge Liu Yanqing's worries. Naturally, he did not dare to hand over the lives of his many brothers to him, and could only send his own life away. He did not expect this person to have this kind of courage, to face death head-on, and to be able to convince people of his courage and courage. Even if it was any other famous general in the country who had achieved all the merits and was proud enough to fight him alone, he would still not be able to plan things one way or the other and win all the way. But this made Liu Yanqing worry even more, that in the future, this person would surpass any other person in this area, and that he would not be able to lose his life. "Brother Han, worry too much. Even if I trust you to be invincible, I will not let you take the risk alone and will only think it through for a long time. I have already sent my eighteen warriors to go with you, and if the surprise attack does not work, you can do as you please. You don't need to stubbornly resist with your life on the line. With the general's words, your subordinate would be very pleased if I were to die in battle. Since it's getting late, I will go and prepare myself so that I can catch the rampant Western Xia off guard. " With Liu Yanqing as a backup, what could Han Shizhong not dare to do? Even if he wanted him to die right now, he would do so willingly, after all, he really wanted to expand his ambition so that no one would look down on him. Since his superior had put in so much effort, why not be the sharp sword that could sweep away all the obstacles for the nation? On the contrary, it was not certain that he would lose. Rather than drinking all day to calm his worries, he might as well give it his all and try. Perhaps he would succeed, so that he wouldn't have to waste energy in every aspect. Liu Yanqing and Liu Shiguang had not expected him to be so impatient. Before he had even made the final decision, he could no longer hold it in, much less guess what he was thinking. He wanted to stop them in a hurry, but Han Shizhong had to give him some advice, warning him not to delay anything. If the news leaked out, then it would be a terrible loss, and he himself would not want them to be troubled. Naturally, he would not discuss how to respond to this, and he would do what he needed to do.

Han Shizhong calmly walked out of the Chinese military tent. Liu Yanqing admired and admired him as he stroked his beard, praising him with a grin, "To think that there would be such a talented young man today. This is a blessing from the Great Song. "Good kid, I didn't expect you to pick up a treasure." Liu Shiguang did not feel the need to praise him. Instead, he regretted recommending a boorish man who was eager to die to his father, sighing dejectedly, "Other than recklessness, I think coincidences from the past aren't considered as great people, right? It was only then that I discovered that this person was relying on brute force to gain the courage of a man. " Instead, he asked, "It seems like you still have very little interaction with him. He seems to be very idle and drunk all day long, but in reality, he has tricked you and everyone else into hiding his strength. He's hiding his strength, afraid that he would make enemies just as soon as he entered, envious people, causing trouble for himself, and in reality, waiting for a good opportunity that might once in a millennia. Liu Shiguang did not expect that after his father's analysis, his heart would brighten up a lot. Even his own helplessness was as easy as taking a lantern grass in Han Shizhong's eyes. He inwardly cursed that this person was not simple, but at the same time, he had to be on guard against him. However, he was also mocking Ye Xiao. If he boasted shamelessly, then there was no need to worry. Using the enemy's hands to get rid of a threat was undoubtedly a good thing for him. "I advise you to hope that he will fight with everything he has. If he loses this battle, at least he will have to wait for a few more years, and not only will he give up everything he has done, but he will also become a treacherous villain, what good end do you and I have left? In short, you can't compete with a newborn calf right now, and in the future, you and I can hide our talents." Liu Shiguang also felt inspired by his father's words. He had always followed his father's lead, and was only obedient. I will remember. "Moreover, if we really have to rely on him in the future, having more helpers will always be better than having more enemies." My son has finally grown up, and I dare to feel gratified. Good! This realization is not in vain. Hurry up and prepare for their victory, taking down River Mansion in one fell swoop, and settling the situation in the Northwest. " Liu Yanqing tried his best to dispel his son's beak attracting evil thoughts. He did not waste his efforts, and he was eager to get rid of his son.

Han Shizhong was clad in golden armor and was wrapped in a military uniform. His eyes were filled with hope and his gaze was filled with burning determination as well as many setbacks and mishaps. However, these twists and turns could sharpen his firm and flexible personality. Seated on the back of his beloved war horse, Thundercloud, like an old and affectionate friend from the past, he muttered a warning, "Today is the perfect time for me to become famous. Are you willing to accompany me in welcoming this moment? "However, before that, you have to be obedient and endure the hardships. You have to be prepared, you and I are very similar. However, the first battle we fought, are you afraid?" Lei Yun seemed to share a heart and soul with Han Shizhong. Although he couldn't speak, he softly exclaimed in response to his master's words, "Alright, even if we die, we will die together. It's fate. I completely trust you." When the eighteen knights saw this, they all laughed, thinking that this person was so ridiculous that he actually gave the beast a chat. Was he crazy? They just laughed it off. Han Shizhong couldn't be bothered to care about their fuss as he thought about how he was going to be in danger all by himself. Since these eighteen warriors dared to participate in this surprise mission, they also felt sorry for them. He did not want to know their appearances or names, as long as this was the first time in his life that he did not make things difficult for the enemy, he would succeed. Han Shizhong had always been a lone wolf, so he couldn't wait for the water to be ready before rushing to the river. He didn't want to hear unnecessary red tape and was also annoyed to death. Why not take the lead in surveying the terrain, the situation, in case things didn't go well? He was a brave man, an outspoken person who was not restrained by the secular world.

Han Shizhong didn't care what the main general came to see him off for. He went to Qingzhou alone to survey the situation, and his fellow brave warriors called to him, saying that he was undisciplined and would act without authorization, but they couldn't catch him and had to leave. They were all angry and resentful, saying that even if they didn't get into trouble this time, they would definitely punish them for their actions. The people of the Western Xia had fought with Song over it several times, and each of them had won and lost to the other. Thus, it was a matter of life and death for the people, and it was a matter of life and death for the people, and it was a matter of risk for the people to go north to the west of Hengshan. Whoever took over the army to guard it, would be decided by the winner. In essence, the Huizong wanted to contend with Liao this time, to take back the eighteen Swallow Regions, and have a subordinate state rising up in the eastern side of Liao City.

When he was a child, he had often wandered around Wei Shui with a group of his brother who had been displaced from his home. In addition, during the previous period, the coachman who had been raising horses had also been grazing on the grassland on the hillside, so he was quite familiar with the situation. The northern part of Qing Prefecture was the furthest from Xiping Prefecture and Xiangqing Army in the Western Xia; the western part of Wei Prefecture was the closest; Dongyao Yenan Prefecture was separated by a river; Fengxiang Prefecture was also blocked by Wei-water. Han Shizhong approached the Qing Prefecture quietly. He hid himself in the nearest forest and observed the deployment of the garrison, the defenses, the terrain, and so on, and then blended in, making unexpected plans, and even if Han Shizhong relied on the East River's steep cliffs to climb in, it would still be difficult for him to fight against more than a thousand guards. He might as well take the opportunity to sneak into the army and obtain the head of the garrison. However, ever since the Western Xia five generations ago, they had been independent from the imperial court. They had their own language, so it would be difficult for them to overlook the guards. Those who didn't know the language of the Western Xia were captured on the spot as spies and spies.

Fortunately, Han Shizhong had drifted northwest since he was young, and had grown up and wandered around here since then. He had interacted with many Western Xia merchants and bullies, understood their language, and could also speak some Western Xia language. Naturally, this small matter wasn't too difficult for him, so he decided to lead his horse through the city gate and find an opportunity to sneak into the military camp and the general's mansion.
