Chapter 24 Bet a Game
Li Hu needed time. He didn't know when Jin Wushu would take Ma Kuo's suggestion and give the rebel army a way out. Seeing Yelu Dashi's sharp aura weakened, he became bolder again, "I can't give it to you, what if you snatch it away? Wouldn't I lose both people and money?"
Yelu Dashi's aura hits upwards. Who am I? How could I do such a despicable thing? But now it is definitely not possible to rob. There is a team of people behind the thief. For the time being, I will coax him first and read the letter of the country first. He was thinking of a way, and Li Hu took out the white silk from his arms again, "Get closer, grab the reins of the horse with both hands, don't put it on the knife handle, I'm afraid you will take the opportunity to attack."
Yelu Dashi did as he did, and rode his horse forward. The two of them faced the horse's heads.
Li Hu spread the white silk. Yelu Dashi looked at it carefully and his face changed immediately. He always hoped that this letter of nationality was fake. After all, the consequences were too serious and it was very likely to push the Liao Kingdom on a path of no return. Who knew that the more afraid of it, the more it would be. This letter of nationality was true. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was a masterpiece today. The charm was difficult to imitate. He could confirm it at a glance. He had also seen the seal of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. This letter of nationality was indeed true.
Li Hu kept staring at him, seeing his expression of horror, and he secretly applauded happily. The bird man took the bait, haha... He hurriedly put away the letter of the country, for fear that he would be snatched away by Yelu Dashi. "How is it? I didn't lie to you, do you want it? Do you want it? Is a thousand horses worth it?"
Yelu Dashi didn't say anything and turned his horse back. Several guards found that he looked solemn and his eyes were a little flustered, as if something major happened. What did the thief say to Lin Ya? Why did Lin Ya lose his murderous aura in the blink of an eye?
"Please come quickly, hurry..."
"Send scouts to Chengzhou City to see if the rebels have evacuated."
Two guards left with horses. Yelu Dashi turned around and looked at Li Hu, showing murderous intent. If the rebels were blocked from the city, you would be dead.
"Send the attack, pause."

Luo Zhongyuan admired Li Hu in a state of admiration. This kid didn't show his appearance, and he was shocked whenever he showed his appearance.
He had heard that Li Hu rode alone to the Jurchens and talked nonsense, but he exchanged more than a dozen Song horse dealers for three hundred horses. Regardless of whether the golden dog would give way, the matter of just exchanging people for horses was incredible. He caught those horse dealers back and could only be used as coolies, but he turned his hands to make a comeback and made a fortune in a blink of an eye. Compared with people, it was so angering to others.
The matter in front of him was even more mysterious. In order to stop the attack of the Khitans, he used all his energy to suck him, but he was beaten to the point of being beaten. When Li Hu came, he said a few words to Yelu Dashi, took out a white cloth from his arms and shook it a few times. The Khitans actually stopped and stopped fighting. If he had known this, it would be better to let him stay behind to stop the Liao soldiers. He would be enough for him to be alone.
The son of a king and the seeds of gods are different.
Li Hu rode his horse back, Luo Zhongyuan hurriedly met him and gave him a thumbs up, "Li Shuai, you are still powerful, brother, I'm convinced."
"What's the use?" Li Hu cried and looked helpless. Yelu Dashi was very cunning and was much more difficult to deal with than Jin Wushu. "Brother, send someone back and see if Jin Gou gave way. If we were still blocked from the city, then we'll be finished."
At this time, the Liao soldiers on the opposite side were dismounting one after another. Some people set up Zhang Xiaoji in the middle of the road, some people lay red cloth on the small table, and some people put a stool next to the small table. Then they saw someone put an exquisite chessboard on the small table, and two boxes of chess pieces were placed aside.
Yelu Dashi turned over and got off the horse and walked slowly to the stool to sit down. A guard brought a basin of clear water. Yelu Dashi washed it twice, and then someone handed a white towel. Yelu Dashi slowly wiped his hands. Then someone gave him a cup of steaming fragrant tea. Yelu Dashi took it up and took a sip, then grabbed a chess piece, twisted it twice, and then slowly placed it on the chessboard.
"Zhimo thief..." Luo Zhongyuan opened his mouth and cursed, "The Khitan dogs look down on people too much. I let the horse kill him and chopped off his dog's head."
"Hey, hey..." Li Hu pointed to the Liao soldiers who were waiting for battle on both sides of the road. "If you want to be shot into a hornet's nest, then go and try it."
Luo Zhongyuan snorted in disappointment and pulled his horse back into the formation, without seeing the silence, so as not to see the fire.

Li Hu looked at it for a moment and his hands were itchy. He liked to play chess. In recent years, the only pastime between the father and son during the escape was to play chess. He was intoxicated and could forget both sorrow and hunger. Since his father disappeared, he had not played chess for a while. Now his hands were itchy, but his heart was even more itchy. After a while, Li Hu couldn't hold it anymore, so he urged his horse to go out of the formation, stood up from afar, and shouted at Yelu Dashi, "Hey, let's play a game, how about it?"
Yelu Dashi looked up at him, frowned slightly, and was very disdainful, but then changed his mind. The thief was very brave and dared to invite himself to play a game. Since that's the case, of course he had to face the challenge. Otherwise, wouldn't he have ambition to others and he would be at a disadvantage?
Dashi stood up, waved to his subordinates, and walked over. His subordinates seemed to be in awe of him. Although they looked embarrassed, they didn't dare to persuade them, and they followed them with their own things.
Li Hu found a broken tree stump on the side of the road, sat opposite Yelu Dashi, and asked while reaching out to hold the chess piece, "A bet?"
Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, then looked annoyed. Playing chess is a very elegant thing. If he didn't want to explore the other party's bottom and call the other party's weight, he would ignore it. Who would have thought that this kid was ignorant and scoundrel, and he actually used such elegant things to gamble. Isn't that right?
In addition to playing chess with his father and not betting, Li Hu bets with anyone. He often uses this trick to cheat some money for some food. This is one of his survival skills, so as soon as his butt was stuck on a tree stump, he asked to bet on a bet. He seemed to have no idea what to do if he lost. With his past identity, if he lost, of course he would be beaten. What else could he do? He had nothing but a life. Over time, he got used to it and did not consider losing at all.
Li Hu didn't hear the response, and looked at Yelu Dashi in surprise, then reacted and said he had let it go. Without waiting for Yelu Dashi to speak, he immediately added, "You can bet on anything except your head and the letter of the country."
Yelu Dashi felt angry, but there was no expression on his face and a cold expression.
"Let's do it." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Hu simply said himself, "I lost, I'll give you this horse. This is Jin Wushu's Tieli, and this horse whip. The shank is gold, which is very valuable. It's Ha Michi's thing."
When Yelu Dashi heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the dark horse and found that it was Wu Shu's mount, and he had seen it on the battlefield. So, the rebels and Jin Gou really colluded with each other? If the rebels had already evacuated, what would he do to send the news? Could it be that he wanted to attract the Liao army's attention to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens, so that he could take the opportunity to strengthen his strength?
"The armor on you looks very good." Li Hu was envious, "If you lose, give me this armor. I'll lose some money."
Yelu Dashi's sword eyebrows were shaking, and he almost started to curse. He was a Khitan nobleman, and he was proud of his nobleness. Of course, he would not surrender his identity and was as knowledgeable as a traitor. Dashi let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and nodded, "One hour."
After an hour, no matter whether the game is over or not, the chief Yelu Yuji should have arrived. The scouts will also find out the trends of the rebels. They will fight or fight, and they will surrender or surrender.
"I am young, I'll do it first." Li Hu took the initiative and took the lead in making a move.

Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun and the generals of the Heishan Army were anxious and could no longer wait. If the Liao army continued to advance step by step, they could only burn their boats and launch an attack on the Jin army, preparing to break through forcibly.
At this moment, Luo Zhongyuan sent people to send news, and the Liao army stopped the attack. Li Hu used some methods to convince Yelu Dashi.
The generals of the Black Mountain Army breathed a little relieved, but this was just a suspension of the attack. The Liao army would launch new attacks at any time, and the crisis did not ease.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhongyuan sent another news that Li Hu and Yelu Dashi were playing chess, which was probably delayed for a longer time. Please break through as soon as possible.
Playing chess? Li Hu is playing chess with Yelu Dashi? The generals are unbelievable.
Today, Li Hu has shown his real skills and has made some incredible actions one after another. If the army can break through successfully this time, he will make great contributions. The son of Li Hong, who fell from the sky, pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, deceived everyone for a while. When the king returns, the Liaodong Rebel Army may be able to get out of the predicament and do something earth-shaking.
Luo Qinghan thought for a long time and decided to wait. Li Hu once said that the Jin army would give way. Since he said that, he would be sure.
