Chapter 166
Eighty miles outside Lingshou Pass, on the banks of the Hulun River.
In the past, the river bank was extremely empty and almost uninhabited, and there were now dense tents on the edges, with almost no edges visible at first glance. Countless Liao soldiers wearing leather armor and scimitars gathered in groups by the fire, chatting and laughing. The entire camp was filled with people's shouts and laughter and horses' neighing, and a scene of noisy and chaos.
In the center of the camp, there was a huge gray felt tent, and there were teams of Liao soldiers patrolling around the tent, but the quarrels from time to time in the tent made the soldiers who were patrolling frequently look at each other.
"Doron! You bastard, why should I take the lead?" A burly middle-aged man with a beard in the tent, staring at the bronze bell-like eyes and roaring loudly at a handsome man full of vicissitudes sitting opposite him.
The handsome man opposite, Duolun, the chief manager of Yanqi Department, took Tao's ears a little distractedly, glanced at the burly man in anger, and said slowly:
"Li Jinbao, look at you, there is no such thing as a general manager in the industry. He is a shrew who scolds the streets and has no education at all. Didn't you tell you just now? Among the four departments, your Oroqen tribe is ranked the highest among the eight departments. If you don't take the lead, who will take the lead?"
"Don't you goofy, Doron's Ah, you old rabbit, if you have a high ranking, you have to take the lead. Who did you decide? Who do you think you are? Do you sweat?" Li Jinbao looked at Doron's Ah's scoundrel's face and immediately became angry and couldn't help but curse.
"Li Jinbao, shut your stinky mouth, who do you think is a rabbit?" Doron Ah jumped up and roared when he heard Li Jinbao scold him as an old rabbit, just like a cat with a stomped on his tail.
"Hmph, no one knows what you are doing, I will scold you. What can you do to me? If you have the guts, just have a fight with me!" Li Jinbao replied with a thrust in his chest.
"You...you..." Doron Ah was so angry that he couldn't speak. He asked him to fuck Li Jinbao, but he really didn't have the courage to do so.
"Okay...Okay, don't argue, look at your current appearance, how kind of morality is? Let the slaves outside hear it, is it embarrassing?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a brown-eyed eagle-nosed eagle sitting on the right side stood up and persuaded.
"Yelu Xin, don't pretend to be good people here, you kid. I want me to be cannon fodder for you. Let me tell you that there is no one at all!" Li Jinbao didn't deal with Yelu Xin at all, but shouted loudly.
Li Jinbao's roar indiscriminately made Yelu Xin's face stagnate, and he couldn't help but point at Li Jinbao and said:
"You...hum, it's really unreasonable!"
After a long time, Yelu Hao calmed down the anger in his heart and said to Li Jinbao with kind words:
"Brother Jinbao, you also know that in the eight chapters, we talk about force and war, if you call it second, no one dares to call it first. Even in the entire Liao Kingdom, in terms of courage, you are also one of the best. The three of us are far inferior to you..."
"That's right, who can compare with me, Li Jinbao in Liao Kingdom in terms of courage?" Li Jinbao couldn't help but pat his chest with pride when he heard Yelu Xin praise him for his bravery.
"So, Brother Jinbao, we asked you to take the lead because of this. Khan asked the four of us to attack Lingshouguan. The first battle will naturally be beautiful. Among the four of us, in terms of the ability to fight, you are the best. Do you think so?" Yelu Xin said to Li Jinbao with admiration, and finally asked the other two.
"Yes, yes, Brother Jinbao's ability is excellent. In Daliao, what I admire most is Brother Jinbao!" Doron'a nodded quickly and said confidently.
"Yes, yes, Brother Jinbao's bravery is the best in our Daliao, and I admire him very much!" Nata, the general manager of the Zhulu Department, also spoke from the side.
When Li Jinbao heard the three of them compliments in unison, he was also a little dizzy, but his still-stilled rationality made him hesitate.
Seeing this, Nata hurriedly said:
"Let's do this, Brother Jinbao, each of us three will take out another 10,000 troops and give it to you to commander. Is this okay?"
Li Jinbao hesitated for a while before finally saying:
"Okay, then I will play the striker in the Oroqen team, but we have to agree first. The Yungu Que arena is ahead. If anything is seized, it will be my Doron!" Finally, Li Jinbao added another sentence, he had already been salivating about the wealth of Yungu Que.
"That's natural!" Yelu Qi hurriedly said.
Li Jinbao and Nata also nodded quickly to agree. Only then did Li Jinbao agree with satisfaction and go to the army to reorganize.
When Li Jinbao was excited to leave the tent, Doron's face changed and he sneered:
"I'm really a reckless man with developed limbs. I don't think that Zhou Ren is that stupid. Will he wait for us to grab it? I'm afraid that there will be an empty city on the other side of the court. If it's really good, will he still be his turn?"
"A fool also has the benefits of a fool. Why don't we let anyone take the lead?" Yelu Xin said with a smile on the side.
"It's a pity for those ten thousand soldiers!" Nata said with some regret. After the last battle, their deer troops suffered heavy losses. They have not recovered yet. Ten thousand soldiers are not a small number for him.
"I can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf, otherwise the loss would be less than ten thousand people. That Meng Tian is a cruel man!" Yelu Xin glanced at Nata and said meaningfully.
Nata's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He naturally knew what Yelu Xin meant. If Meng Tian had not killed Yelu Xiu, the former general manager of Zhulu, and the Khan was angry, he would have killed Yelu Xiu's family again, otherwise Nata would have been the general manager of Zhulu.

On the fifth year of Shenwu, on the night of April 8, the bright moon was in the sky and the soft light was like water.
The Yungu Quechang, not far from the mouth of the North Valley of Lingshouguan, was supposed to be a lively town with bright lights and crowds, but now it has become like a ghost. Apart from the dead silence, there is no more anger.
Yungu is located on the northern foot of Shouning Mountain in the south and on the north by Chishou Mountain Liuyun Peak. It is surrounded by mountains, with green mountains and clear streams lingering. At the beginning of the fourth year of Shenwu, the emperor issued an order to build a quorum here for trade between Zhou and Liao. This place quickly became lively. Merchants from south to north gathered to trade here. For a time, merchants gathered and tourists were crowded. Inns, cargo yards, brothels, casinos, etc. also blossomed like mushrooms after the rain. Countless pavilions rose from the ground, lined up one after another, and a prosperous scene.
Unfortunately, there was an unexpected situation in the sky. The Liao Kingdom suddenly launched a large number of troops and the court was forced to close the court, which made the once extremely prosperous Yungu no longer see any people. Everything was silent and a bleak scene.
It was almost late at night, and a sudden sound of horse hooves outside the site came from far to near, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night. In just a moment, a group of knights holding torches rushed into the outside of the village gate and broke into the darkness of the site.
After a while, a neat step sounded from outside the Quezhan. From a distance, a long fire dragon came slowly. When the fire dragon approached, it was clear that it was countless soldiers holding torches, protecting dozens of large cars toward the Quezhan.
"General, General Hu has led his army to comb the court, but no trace of people was found!"
Just as the Fire Dragon was approaching the yard, a cavalry rushed out of the field, rushed to the next few generals in front of the Fire Dragon, and told the general in the lead.
"Yeah!" The general nodded, and said no, and the fire shone through, and then he saw clearly the face of the general. It was not Li Bao, the general of Zuo Longxiang Guard, who was it?
Li Bao turned around and ordered the general behind him:
"General Zhang, you will immediately lead the convoy into the tent and act as planned!"
"No!" The general named Zhang hurriedly clasped his fists and agreed, turned his horse's head and galloped away.
"Deputy General Yun!"
"I'm in a humble position!"
"You personally lead the horse to monitor the Liao army. If there is any abnormal movement, come and report it immediately!"
"promise!"
Li Bao and other deputy generals Yun left, looked at Yunguqian, who was dark and unable to see the whole picture in front of him, waved his whip and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go in!"
