Upon seeing this, the Khitan warriors all rushed over.
Luo Xiaohu roared, "You bastards, how dare you act so arrogantly in Flying Fox City? You've come to the wrong place."
Before the four Khitan warriors could even make a move, Luo Xiaohu's horse-slaying saber had already cut one of them down.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the Khitan warrior who had been cut down to the ground had been cleaved in two from head to toe.
The other Khitan warriors were all stunned.
They had never seen such a powerful and imposing horse-slaying sword before.
"Luo Xiaohu, tie all these guys up."
Luo Xiaohu waved his hand behind him: "Men, tie him up!"
A dozen or so warriors clad in gleaming armor strode forward and bound them tightly.
Luo Xiaohu took out the hundred taels of gold from his horse and handed it over with both hands: "My lord, this is the money we extorted from them, a total of one hundred taels of gold."
Jiang Tian looked at the hundred taels of gold: "Well done. Hand it over to the government, register it, and reward those who have made contributions."
"promise……"
Luo Xiaohu and his men tied Xiao Tianzuo and the others up and took them away.
"Who is this Xiao Tianzuo..." Jiang Tian asked, seemingly knowing the answer already.
"My childhood sweetheart, my childhood friend." Yelü Hongyan said with some disappointment, "Young Master Jiang Tian, what are you going to do with him?"
“He’s your childhood friend, so of course I’ll let him go for now out of respect for you. But we’ll have to wait until this battle is over.” Jiang Tian couldn’t possibly let Xiao Tianzuo go.
To Jiang Tian's surprise, the girl shook her head: "Can you help me kill him? Kill him quickly and completely, without leaving a trace?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was immediately taken aback: "Weren't you childhood sweethearts, inseparable playmates? Why do you suddenly want me to kill him?"
“In our Liao Kingdom, the Xiao family’s power is growing stronger and stronger, especially the two brothers, Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou, who have reached the point of being arrogant and domineering.”
"The military power of the Liao Kingdom was basically in the hands of the Xiao family. Although my father was the Southern King, he was mainly responsible for fighting against the Great Xia Dynasty."
But over the years, my father's power has been hollowed out.
"As long as the Xiao family is not eliminated, our Liao Kingdom will never have peace."
"Then how did you get to Flying Fox City?" Jiang Tian walked to the side, and Yelü Hongyan quickly followed.
"My father sent me to make contact with Zhang Shicheng's forces. If we join forces with Zhang Shicheng's forces, we can capture several cities near the Great Wall."
Then they marched triumphantly all the way to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
My father's prestige in the Liao Kingdom will be greatly restored.
At that time, my father's title of Southern King will not be merely a name without substance, a mere figurehead.
"You mean, the people who led the team to the outside of the Great Wall were from the Xiao family?"
Yelü Hongyan nodded: "The Xiao family is currently at its zenith because the current Empress Dowager is a member of the Xiao family."
Jiang Tian roughly understood.
The Liao Dynasty had fallen into a situation where the emperor's relatives interfered in politics.
Let them beat it up; it'd be better if they destroyed it.
Once it's destroyed, Jiang Tian can lead his army north and wipe out the Liao Kingdom.
"It's simply unbelievable that Xiao Tianzuo, a general in command of troops, would actually come to our Flying Fox City."
"Xiao Tianzuo and his younger brother Xiao Tianyou were praised by the Empress Dowager as the two arms of the Liao Empire. I estimate that they came together. The army is temporarily under the command of Xiao Tianyou."
"So you mean Xiao Tianyou is north of the Great Wall?"
Yelü Hongyan nodded.
If something goes wrong at the Great Wall, the enemy can get in with small groups, and then their main force can get in.
"Hongyan, how did you get into the Great Wall the other day?"
The two countries are on the brink of war, and a major battle is imminent.
If both Yelü Hongyan and Xiao Tianzuo can get in, then the problem is serious.
"Money can make the devil turn the millstone. We bribed the guards to open the secret passage, but the main force could not get in."
Jiang Tian nodded. If the main force could have entered, the enemy would have already entered; there was no need for dozens of people to come in at once.
…………
Fifty li southwest of Longcheng lies Jianmen Pass.
Han Xin's cavalry has arrived.
Han Xin rode his warhorse to a high place to look into the distance.
In the distance, countless small black dots slowly appeared on the horizon.
These small black dots are increasing in number and getting bigger.
"Li Changkong's troops are here." Han Xin and his men were well-rested and ready to strike at any moment.
"Xiang Yu..."
"Your humble servant is here..." Xiang Yu bowed and stepped forward.
“Zhang Shicheng’s rebel army is twenty miles away from us. Five hundred of your cavalrymen will set off first. Once you gain their trust, kill them.”
"Your subordinate obeys." Xiang Yu took the command flag and quickly led his men straight towards Li Changkong's troops.
"Dian Wei, obey my command."
"Your subordinate is here..."
"You will lead a thousand generals to flank Xiang Yu's flag-seizing army when they launch their attack."
"promise……"
"Qin serves the public and obeys the people's commands."
"Your subordinate is here..."
"When the main army attacks, you should set fire to the mountains on the left side to prevent the rebels from attacking from the left."
"Your subordinate obeys." Qin Weigong and Qin Weimin replied.
"remember,"
"The rest of you follow me down the middle lane. Once the enemy breaks out, we'll pounce and kill them all the way through."
"promise……"
“Remember, the Lord instructed,” Han Xin emphasized again, “if we can capture enemy soldiers, the more the better.”
"This humble general will keep it in mind."
"Set off……"
...
Xiang Yu personally led 500 flag-capturing soldiers, all of whom were dressed in the uniforms of Liao cavalry.
Beneath the Liao cavalry's clothing, they were all wearing bright armor.
