Li Yufang helped Dong Bazhong stand up. Dong Bazhong snorted and turned around to ask Li Yufang: "What do you think he means?" Li Yufang pondered and said, "This is intimidation. W     wくWく．★8√1√zW．CoM" Dong Bazhong squinted his eyes and smiled, "If it's just forcing it, it's not interesting. I bet with you that he must have a backup plan."

The Central Army Guard trotted, holding a feather arrow in his hand and a letter tied to the shaft. Dong Bazheng did not answer the letter, but asked the Central Army Guard: "Did anyone be injured when the building collapsed?" The Central Army Guard replied: "Only two passers-by were injured, but they were not seriously injured and had been sent to heal."

After reading the letter, Li Yufang frowned and said to Dong Bacheng: "He wants to invite his mentor out. What's the reason? Could it be that there is a fraud?"

Dong Bacheng laughed and shook his hands repeatedly, "He is not so unbearable." He paused a little, "Don't look at his glory, his life is not easy. He will be the first to be polite. Well, I think he wants to withdraw. I am afraid that I will not let go, so I have to meet me."

Dong Bazheng still knew whether Yang Hao's life was good or not. These days, the grassroots and bark of the forests around Lanzhou City were eaten up by the Xining army. If they did not retreat, they were afraid that most of them would starve to death at Lanzhou City. Li Yufang also saw this clearly. What he didn't understand was why Dong Bacheng took advantage of this favorable opportunity to take the initiative?

Li Yufang asked in a low voice: "My teacher really wants to see him?"

"Why not?" Dong Bacheng asked back with a smile, then his face became serious. He sighed and said affectionately: "I am old, and I have seen through victory, defeat, fame and fortune. But I cannot help but leave a way out for you. I originally wanted to help Chai Shangyan to shelter you from the wind and rain, but this person is too selfish, and it seems that he can't count on it."

Dong Bazheng's eyes dimmed, and a feeling of regret surged in his heart. After Li Zaiyi passed away, Hedong was in chaos, and the struggle for power and profit among various factions had reached a white-hot. In order to stabilize the overall situation in Hedong, Dong Bazheng strongly recommended Chai Shangyan as the queen of staying, and temporarily took charge of the overall situation in Hedong. Chai Shangyan was cowardly, stubborn, and narrow-minded. Dong Bazheng saw these. His idea was that the chaos in Hedong was not something that the generals and heroes could not suppress. Chai Shangyan was just a transitional figure. If such a person was too strong, he would inevitably bring endless trouble to the handover in the future. People like Chai Shangyan who are experienced but have shallow foundations and are unwilling to be seen are the most suitable candidates.

But Dong Bazheng did not expect that Chai Shangyan would betray him so soon. He did not have any thoughts or support in his current actions. He just repaid grudges and revenge. Such a person is no longer worthy of his life for him.

These days he has been observing Yang Hao. Although he is still young and immature and lacks a decisive attitude in his work, it is undeniable that this man is much more broad-minded than Chai Shangyan and is considered a decent person. He has the archers of the Sixth Battalion. If he attacks the fire, there will be a sea of ​​fire in the city of Lanzhou in an instant, and the plants, trees, people and animals will be ashes. But he does not want to hurt his lives too much and has not acted for a long time. This mind and demeanor are really valuable.

He shot the flag tower with his long bow, and then sent letters to ask for peace, one by one, one by one, which showed his courage and strategy. Isn't this the person he has been searching for?

"Teacher, are you going to entrust the soldiers to him?"

Li Yufang saw through Dong Bazheng's intentions and asked in surprise. Dong Bazheng was infected with a serious illness and had been retiring for a long time. The only thing he couldn't rest assured was the group of old brothers who had followed him for many years. Like him, these old brothers were all true men with a straight personality and hated evil, and were incompatible with the world. If they were entrusted with the inhumane, the fate could be imagined.

Dong Bacheng suddenly revealed that the person he chose was Yang Hao, and Li Yufang really couldn't accept it for a while. He had been dealing with Yang Hao as long as Dong Bacheng, and Feng'an failed to forget the miserable defeat. It is no exaggeration to say that it was precisely because of the existence of this powerful enemy that he had his own today. But now, everything has suddenly changed. This turn is too fast and too steep, and he can't really make it for a while.

"Forget it, Yufang, don't be picky anymore. You are my student. Ordinary people dare not use you. Even if you dare, they dare not use you. This person even convinced him that Liu Desan and Qu Chuji were respected. Wu Chizan and Yu Chongchong can be reused. Only when you go there will you have the opportunity to show your ambitions."

"But……"

Li Yufang was only halfway through her words and was blocked by Dong Bazheng.

"I know what you are going to say. I have decided to retire to the mountain spring and never ask about the world again."

"Students should support their teachers, but the teacher is not allowed. The students would rather commit suicide and apologize."

"You...why are you doing this?"

Dong Bacheng sighed, feeling helpless. He liked him no matter how he looked at him, but he could not change his pedantic spirit. When he was a disciple, he vowed to follow his own side, and he refused to forget this vow.

...

The north gate of Lanzhou slowly opened, and Dong Bazheng rode out of the horse, with a helmet and armor, and a long sword hanging on his waist, but he did not bring long weapons, nor did he carry a bow and arrow. This was undoubtedly a friendly attitude. Yang Hao urged the horse to come out and held the rituals of his juniors from a distance. The two of them stopped the horse and looked at each other and talked about their homely words.

Dong Bacheng asked: "What's the point of seeing you when you ask me out?"

Yang Hao replied with a smile: "I want to stop the army with the old general."

Dong Bacheng sneered: "You invade Hedong without authorization, how can you leave as soon as you say it? Where can you treat me Hedong as?"

Yang Hao said: "At the beginning of the first lunar month, Lu Qi was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Left Army in Hedong, and formed sworn soldiers in the army to cultivate power. He was Qiu Shiliang's confidant, and this was the beginning of the eunuch party's intervention in Hedong. The old general was inconvenient to interfere, and the elders even ignored it. If the younger generation did not care about it, wouldn't they let the land of the Longxing of the Tang Dynasty fall into the hands of the eunuch party?"

Dong Bacheng said: "You think you can beat the eunuch party by your own strength?"

"Even if you can't fight, you have to fight, hoping to awaken the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world to fight against eunuchs. The majestic scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty cannot be expressed by just a mouth."

Dong Bacheng smiled and pointed to the camp behind Yang Hao and said, "I have been short of food for a while, right?" Yang Hao nodded, smiled faintly, without hiding it at all.

Dong Bacheng whispered: "I advise you to withdraw your troops earlier. If you continue to waste this, your morale will be disintegrated. Even if you put the knife on their necks, you will not be able to stop your legs from running out."

Yang Hao said: "If I retreat, will you come to chase me?" Dong Bazheng did not answer, turned his horse's head and walked back, but hummed a country tune.

Qu Qingquan felt a little confused and asked Yang Hao: "What does he mean?"

Yang Hao smiled and said, "The old man has planned to retire to the mountains and forests and sing."

...

Daoming Village is 170 miles northwest of Taiyuan City and is built on the Fen River. The terrain is dangerous and is one of the important places to lead Taiyuan to Lanzhou. There were 300 troops in the village. Yang Hao withdrew his troops from Lanzhou and marched into Taiyuan. After Chai Shangyan urgently dispatched the Xinzhou camp, the most elite army in the Hedong rear army to reinforce.

The Xinzhou Camp had more than 1,500 people, and the deputy general Chai Hongyue was Chai Shangyan's nephew. Five days ago, Chai Shangyan promised Mu Liangfang that on the day the agreement was reached, he would recommend Mu Liangfang as the governor of the Left Army in Hedong and also serve as the governor of Jiangzhou. In exchange, Mu Liangfang handed over the Xinzhou Camp of the Later Army to Chai Shangyan, which was the only military force directly controlled by Chai Shangyan and was also one of the important weights for him to deal with Yang Hao.

After Chai Hongyue arrived in Daoming Village, she stored food and grass, strengthened fortifications, and clamored to block Yang Hao in the ice and snow and freeze to death.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raised its head.

The snow outside Daoming Village had melted halfway, but the weather was still cold and afraid of people. Chai Hongyue had just arrived at the office room and had not yet sat down, and the captain of the Central Army sent a letter. After reading the letter, Chai Hongyue threw the letter to the ground and cursed: "What a big tone, I really don't know how to live or die. Where is the messenger?"

The captain of the Central Army replied: "After sending the letter, the person left."

Chai Hongyue shouted, "Then tell Yang Hao that I will not give way to him. If he wants Daoming Village, he will take it with real swords and guns. I, Chai Hongyue, have nothing else, but I am brave and no one is afraid of it."

The Central Army Captain retreated. After a cup of tea, there was a chaos outside the Central Army tent. Chai Hongyue was anxious and ran out of the tent with an axe. However, hundreds of arrows flew in from the sky. However, the soldiers did not avoid dodging, but instead rushed to grab the feather arrows that fell on the ground. The Central Army Captain trotted over with a feather arrow. The feather arrow had no arrows, and a small note was tied to the shaft. There were four sentences on it:

When the fire attacks at the You hour, there is no place to hide. If you leave the village, you can ensure safety.

Chai Hongyue crushed the note and threw it on the ground. She stepped on her feet and waved her battle axe and said, "I will pass on the order to block the village gate. Those who dare to leave the village privately will be killed."

The Central Military Academy Guard hesitated for a while and begged: "All teams of soldiers are running for free. The law does not punish the crowd. Please think twice." Chai Hongyue roared, swung the Central Military Academy Guard to the ground with an axe, and shouted with red eyes: "Whoever dares to say more, he will be the end!" The supervisor was ordered to block the gate of the village and catch dozens of escaped soldiers on the spot to rectify the Dharma. After a bloody blow, the chaos was suppressed.

Yang Hao climbed up to see all this and pointed at the village gate: "Burn the village gate with fire and let the soldiers come out."

After the Changbow Formation was commanded, the rockets gathered together and the four village gates caught fire at the same time. Chai Hongyue saw through Yang Hao's plan and held a steel axe in his hand to put out the fire. The soldiers deliberately slack off. Chai Hongyue was furious and jumped up and killed five or six lazy soldiers in a row. The people were driven by his tyranny and dared not remain unmoved. After some trouble, they rescued the three village gates, east, west and south. However, the north gate collapsed in a loud bang, and some soldiers took the opportunity to run out. Yang Hao hurriedly ordered the Changbow Form to provide cover, and one or two hundred soldiers escaped in a panic.

Chai Hongyue threw away her axe and took the bow and arrow in her hand, and personally led the supervisory team to the front line, shooting at the fleeing soldiers. The soldiers were afraid of death and injuries, and no one dared to escape.
