Chapter 18 Lang Tan's Plan

War and kindness are two contrary concepts, so there is the saying that kindness is not in charge of soldiers.

What a general pursued in his life was victory, and he could only be victory, because this is his value. If he set his goal on the concept of victory, the rest would be ignored, such as massacre, robbery, betrayal, intrigue, in order to win, the army can clear the field, and in order to win, the army must massacre.

A long time ago, Yun Zheng believed that wisdom could make up for these shortcomings of the general, but when he became a general, there were much more people who died at his hands than other generals, even more people killed by Di Qing.

Wisdom is actually just slaughtering the tincture oil from this ball of fire. The more wise the person is, the easier it is to kill people, and the more calm he will be, because he had expected all the consequences. If he was smarter, they even thought of remedies.

Yun Zheng is like this now, with 50,000 people waiting for him to kill. Therefore, in order to protect the country, the interests of the people were damaged. He could pretend to be invisible and end the war before the autumn harvest. In his opinion, it was already the greatest kindness.

Nothing in the world exists, and it always exists one after another. Once it starts, countless possible results will always appear. This requires a person to use his own wisdom to choose the most beneficial result.

From ancient times to the present, all wise people have chosen this way. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, and even saints cannot avoid the world.

Therefore, when he was sleeping at night, his hands covered Ge Qiuyan's plump chest, but he couldn't do anything else. He needed to retain every energy to deal with the complex situation that was about to come.

Tomorrow, Xiao Huoer's army will arrive. Before going to bed, Xiao Huoer's army has arrived at Pianguan River. According to the scout's reward, Xiao Huoer's army camp stretched densely for five miles.

Xiao Huoer thought it was much simpler. He was cleaning the battlefield step by step, and the cavalry were divided into teams to burn, kill and loot within a radius of fifty miles. Moreover, both the Liao and the Song people were among his removals. The Liao Kingdom was originally a country formed by a convergence of multiple forces. For Xiao Huoer, as long as he was not a member of the Xiao clan, he was basically his enemy, so there was no need to think too much. He was just doing things according to the general rules of doing things, and there would always be a lot of trouble in cleaning the battlefield that was not cleaned.

This time he came here, the only thing he wanted to do was to capture the barbaric gate to teach the proud Guo Hengchuan a lesson, so that he could know that his choice was the most correct, and then he could command the entire army with the power of great victory.

Xiao Huoer is familiar with Panguan, and even very familiar with him. He once brought his army into this city and lived in it for three days. After enjoying the glory of the winner for three days, the beautiful and simple Song woman gave him a very deep impression.

The things you snatch are the best.

A letter of surrender was taken to the city gate by bows and arrows. Xiao Huoer proudly told the generals of the border gate to surrender one day later, otherwise there would be no family or dogs left after the city was broken.

When Lang Tan saw this letter, he solemnly told Xiao Huoer that he could surrender, and the Liao Kingdom must ensure the safety of his own property and family. If Xiao Huoer did not agree, he would rather fight to the death!

After reading Lang Tan's letter, Xiao Huoer smiled and said to the left and right: "This is the Song people. As long as you avoid people like Yun Zheng, the border villages of Song State are actually full of loopholes. If someone comes, go and tell the generals of the border gate that if he surrenders in the city, he will allow him to keep his family's wealth and allow his whole family to avoid death. This is the promise made by the general himself and will definitely be abide by it.

I will send the order to rest for a night today, speed up the marching tomorrow, and enter the Pian Pass to rest in the evening."

Wu Gu Du, who was following Xiao Huoer, advised: "Master, surrendering without fighting does not seem to be the demeanor of Yun Zheng's subordinates."

Xiao Huoer smiled and said, "You don't know that I have come here once. The soldiers here have no fighting spirit and the people have no desire to resist. The Song army did not escape in advance, which was beyond my expectations. The guard general was afraid of Yun Zheng's power and did not dare to run away, and he had no strength to fight against our Daliao. Surrender was his only way out."

Seeing that Xiao Huoer was full of compliment, Wugu Du smiled and complimented twice, preparing to search for it after entering the city gate tomorrow to make up for his losses in Shenwu City. Thinking of the pain in Shenwu City, Wugu Du's heart and soul were in pain, and most of his savings from many years were left there. After the Song army captured Shenwu City, they plundered it completely. After he returned to Shenwu City, he found that his mansion had turned into a broken wall, and the Song army did not leave him a complete pillar.

Since he is now going to enter the city of Song State, Wugu Du believes that this is his only chance to make up for his losses.

It was difficult to fall asleep. After finally dawning until dawn, the black bone poison got up. After washing up quickly, Xiao Huoer urged him to act quickly. The army was more than fifty miles away from the Pianguan. After the entire army arrived at the Pianguan, it was probably dark.

The two eagles were flying high at a high altitude, so if you don't look carefully, you can only see two small black dots. From Pianguan River to Pianguan, the scouts of the Song army kept running back. Although the Liao people could see clearly, they pointed at each point and didn't care. The scouts of the Song army did not hide themselves at all. As long as they saw the Liao army, they would return to the city.

When the Liao army appeared on the horizon, Lang Tan took a deep breath and said, "Open the city gate, close the city, prepare turbulent oil, prepare gunpowder and ammunition, and prepare strong crossbows. Be sure to eliminate all the Liao people entering the city in the shortest time."

Deputy General Tan Wei bowed and took the order. Lang Tan looked at Ge Tianfang who was about to leave the city to welcome the Liao army and whispered: "Don't panic, be bold, be careful and don't let Xiao Huoer see the flaws. This battle can at least cause more than 10,000 people in the Liao army. If you are lucky, Xiao Huoer will not escape the bad luck. I will line up at the city gate to block the Liao army and buy you time to retreat."

Ge Tianfang nodded and said, "This time, I will die forever. I am not afraid of life and death. I just want to take care of the mother, wife and children of the mother!"

Lang Tan pressed his hands on Ge Tianfang's shoulder and said, "Don't say these unlucky words, it's the most important thing to come back alive. Even if I die in battle, there is also the general, he will not treat his subordinates who died in battle unfairly."

Ge Tianfang nodded and took his troops out of the city with his troops. The army was not in a state of disguise, his armor was messy, and his flag was dragged down behind the horse. After leaving the city for ten miles, he dismounted and waited on the side of the road.

"Master, should we kneel down?" A shaved veteran looked at the Liao army running over like a sea of ​​terror. The cavalry of the brigade was rushing, and even a veteran like him who was used to fighting formations could not withstand it.

"Nothing nonsense, why are we kneeling down?"

"Lord, this is how the surrendered people are. You have never surrendered to the enemy, but I have surrendered. As long as I stand, I will not surrender. This is what our generals said before."

Ge Tianfang was stunned for a moment, kneeled on the ground with one leg, and cursed: "Damn, I haven't kneeled since I joined the army. When the general inspected the army, I just knocked on my breastplate. I don't know if the Liao people could bear it. They knelt down all the time. Laozi said it was reasonable. We are now a group of cowards, not the 15th army in the west of Beijing."

After hearing the reports from his subordinates, Xiao Huoer ordered Ge Tianfang to be brought over. He only raised his eyelids and glanced at Ge Tianfang, who was trembling all over and returned to his carriage.

Wugu Du asked with a smile: "Where is the guard general Lang Tan of the Pianguan?"

Ge Tianfang secretly glanced at Wugu Po and whispered: "General is welcomed by the army at the city gate. There are always some people who are unwilling to surrender to the Liao Dynasty, so the general wants to deal with it before coming back."

"No need, since the army has arrived, there will be someone to deal with these small matters, so you will lead the way." Wugu Du looked up at the city in the distance, and wished he could enter the city gate immediately and start robbing.

Ge Tianfang was leading the way tremblingly, but his eyes were rumbling around. He had already figured out the Liao army that the number of people was still too large, and the urn city could not hold so many people. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

A Liao Zhongjun who was following him asked, "What are you sighing?"

Ge Tianfang quickly replied: "The army is indeed mighty, and we Song people are indeed incomparable."

The central army seemed to be interested in talking and asked: "I heard that Yun Zheng's subordinates are the number one capable army in your Song Kingdom, but that's the case? Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, but I'm still not as powerful as the Great Liao army."

The central army smiled proudly and said, "The troops here are all tribal troops of my Xiao clan, and they are the best elite in the world. Your general chooses to surrender and let you escape. Otherwise, hehe, after the city is broken, you will all be unable to escape death.

I see that the long knife around your waist is pretty good, so I can take it for me to see it."

Ge Tianfang was stunned for a moment, looked around carefully and said, "General, if you like this knife, you will give you some appreciation when you enter the city. Now the villain takes him and still needs to guard the general."

Zhongjun grinned and said, "I will look at you."

Lang Tan got off his horse, stood by the wide open city gate, and waited for the Liao people to enter the city with his waist bent. A group of Liao people ran past him like a scout, and went straight to the city. Lang Tan narrowed his eyes and shook his head at the subordinates standing at the top of the city, and then shouted loudly to the Liao army brigade that was close to him: "Welcome the Great Liao Tianjun into the city!"

The Song army at the top of the city threw the Song army's flags down the city walls and shouted together: "Welcome the Great Liao Tianjun into the city!"

Wu Gu Du smiled and turned to his personal soldiers, saying, "Whether you can make up for the losses in Shenwu City depends on you. Those with rich take money, those without money take people, both men, women, young and old, and it will be money to sell it to Zhongjing."

The personal soldiers agreed and promised their master not to let him down. Xiao Huoer stood on the shaft of the carriage and stared at the top of the city. In a short while, a team of Liao troops appeared on the top of the city, waving the golden wolf flag to the army.

Xiao Huoer looked back at the red sun that was about to fall and ordered: "The whole army entered the city!" (To be continued)
