Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 21 Liu Wudi’s first appearance

Yanmen closes
Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide's soldiers and horses set up camp here. However, facing such a majestic and dangerous pass, there was no good way at the moment. The main reason was that they did not have enough siege equipment on hand, so they had to prepare for a few days.

"Report~, report to the general, scout the horses ahead and report back, reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom have arrived."

Zhao Kuangmei was shocked and asked quickly: "Reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom came so soon? How many people came? Did Liu Jiye really surrender to the Liao Dynasty?"

"Didn't... didn't surrender to the Liao, and they were not serious Liao troops. They were the local Yunzhou frontier troops. I don't know how many of them came, but anyway... they were beaten away by Liu Jiye."

"........."

"It was said that a vanguard force came and was about to enter the pass. However, the cavalry led by Liu Jiye suddenly came out and caught them off guard. They fled in a hurry and captured a lot of them."

The three looked at each other.

Then he became more and more certain that Liu Jiye was just seeking death.

Yelu Talie of the South Branch of the Liao Kingdom was a famous general of the generation. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may not be impossible to seize. If Liu Jiye really insisted on holding on and waited until Yelu Talie personally led his troops to dedicate Yanmen Pass to the Liao Kingdom, he would not be able to return it at that time. It was really not easy to fight, and even the three of them had been worried about losing the portal.

As a result, Liu Jiye was stuck in a place where Zhou and Liao met. As a result, he fought against the Zhou army and even fought when the Liao army came to his aid!
If you think about it normally, you won't be able to do this thing even if you have cerebral thrombosis in 20 years.

"He is determined to be buried with his adoptive father. This man...does the relationship between father and son have such a good relationship?"

Since it is now certain that Liu Jiye had no intention of surrendering to the Liao Dynasty, and he even took the initiative to send troops to fight the Liao army, then in fact there was no need to fight at Yanmen Pass at all.

He doesn't even have much basic food and grass, so what's there to fight for?Within three days, he will surrender. No matter how loyal Liu Jiye is, his men will tie him up or kill him.

Because his loyalty and other things were really unusual in the Five Dynasties. To put it bluntly, being able to fight to the death with all his strength is already an incredible level of loyalty in this era. Buried with him?Just to die?Who would really accompany him so crazy?

After a long while, Gao Huaide sighed and said: "This special girl is really a talent. I suddenly like this Liu Chong's god-grandson."

Zhao Kuangmei also said: "This man is loyal and brave. If he died here, it would be... such a pity."

As they were talking, suddenly there was a commotion in the camp. The three of them hurriedly went out to take a look, but saw that a fight had already started in front of them. Before the three of them got on their horses to see, they found that the battle was already over. It turned out that Liu Jiye Just now, he actually led the cavalry to fight out again and tried to rob the camp.

However, Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide were well prepared for this encounter. Since they were not as careless as Li Jun, Liu Jiye naturally did not get any benefits. After a short fight, they actually turned around and fled back. Although both sides suffered casualties, But the casualties were not large, only about twenty people plus one.

Zhao Kuangmei couldn't help but find it funny and asked, "Do you think he will carry out night raids at night?"

"Definitely, he is a trapped beast right now."

"It doesn't need to be at night. I guess he will come out again within an hour and attack our left and right wings."

"Get ready and see if you can capture this person alive and try not to hurt his life. This kind of person can't bear his death at the hands of the rebels."

Sure enough, before noon, when the Zhou army was still burying pots and making rice, the cavalry from Yanmen Pass came out again. As Shi Shouxin expected, they attacked his left wing, and then plunged into the encirclement.

This is not because Shi Shouxin's soldiers are superior in skills, but Liu Jiye only has this card in his hand. No matter where he fights, he will face an encirclement. As long as Zhou Jun is a little more serious, , don't make any stupid mistakes due to carelessness. The gap in absolute strength between the two armies cannot be bridged by a mere general.

When the three of them arrived, Liu Jiye was already heavily surrounded. It was only because Zhao Kuangmei specifically said that he would be captured alive as much as possible, so they did not swarm him to death.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangmei quickly stood up and said: "Liu Jiye, we are at the end of our rope now, why don't you surrender early? My brother loves you and is loyal, and will be put to great use. Why are you so stubborn?" When Liu Jiye heard this, he suddenly pointed his spear and said : "I heard that the land of the Central Plains is filled with outstanding people and powerful generals. Can anyone dare to fight with me alone? Liu is willing to win in three battles. If he loses in one battle, he is willing to take off his armor. If he is lucky enough to win, allow me to take these brothers with him. How about leaving?"

Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide were still hesitating, but Zhao Kuangmei said without permission: "Okay! I agree. I wonder which warrior in the army is willing to challenge?"

The young general beside him came out after hearing the words and shouted: "General Li Tianfu, please go out to fight."

Zhao Kuangmei glanced at Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide, and saw that they both nodded slightly towards him. She knew that this person should be a fierce general, so she agreed to let this person go to fight against the enemy.

When Liu Jiye saw this, he was unambiguous, but within ten seconds, he suddenly struck the horse's leg with a stick, causing the horse to fall down.

"This man is very skilled in martial arts. I don't know who is better between him and my elder brother."

"A mere young man, is he worthy of being compared with big brother? I will go and meet him in person."

After saying that, Shi Shouxin actually grabbed the horse's belly and went into battle himself, which even shocked Zhao Kuangmei.

When Liu Jiye saw this, he calmly held the spear upside down and faced the enemy with only the stick end. Shi Shouxin was furious when he saw this and cursed: "You traitor, do you look down on me?"

Liu Jiye didn't answer, but just clapped his horse and stepped forward to fight with him, giving Zhao Kuangmei an extremely wonderful one-on-one performance. The two of them went back and forth and fought for more than 100 rounds, and then... Shi Shouxin was whipped off his horse by Liu Jiye with a stick, and his face turned red.

"General Shi, I accept the concession."

Shi Shouxin snorted and didn't bother. He got back on his horse and returned to the battle with some embarrassment. Then he whispered to Zhao Kuangmei: "He is undoubtedly better than me, but compared with our elder brother, he is still far behind."

After Liu Jiye defeated Shi Shouxin, his face was obviously tired, but he raised the spear in his hand with sweat on his forehead and asked: "Is this one General Gao Huaide and Gao? I have heard about General Gao's martial arts skills. Unparalleled, he is good at using fourteen different weapons, and I have long wanted to learn from him. General, would you like to fight with a certain one?"

Seeing this, Gao Huaide unexpectedly shook his head and said: "Brother Shi's martial arts are especially superior to mine. Since you have defeated him, there is no need to compete with me. We have lost this battle. With Your people should go back, it’s just General Liu, the Northern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, even if I let you go today, where will you go?"

Liu Jiye was slightly surprised when he saw this, but he did not answer Gao Huaide's words. Instead, he clasped his fists at them and saluted them on horseback, and then led his soldiers away.

Zhao Kuangmei asked Gao Huaide in surprise: "My eldest brother said that in terms of personal martial arts among military generals, only brother Gao can compare with him. My eldest sister has even been secretly in love with you. Can't you beat brother Shi?"

However, Gao Huaide did not say who was more powerful between him and Shi Shouxin. He just said: "I think this person is quite respectable. My beautiful brother seems to treat him differently and deliberately gives him a reputation. He indulges Even if your martial arts skills are superb, how can you withstand the battle between the three of us?"

"It turns out that Brother Gao also cherishes talents."

Shi Shouxin sighed: "It's a pity that he is a foolish and loyal person. What should we do next? Should we fight at Yanmen Pass, or wait until he is tied up by the generals and surrendered?"

"What did you say, pretty brother?"

Zhao Kuangmei said with a smile: "Calculating the time, the reinforcements I invited before should be here, just in a day or two."

"Does he need reinforcements to defeat him? Who is it?"

"Linzhou, Yang Chongxun, Fuzhou, Zhe Deku."
