Journey to the West: I am entertaining in Datang

Chapter 1403

It was originally a good intention, but was reprimanded by Zhao Guangyi. After returning to the mansion, Zhao Dezhao became more and more annoyed, more annoyed and saddened!

His parents died early and he was left alone.

Although there are stepmother Song and half-brother Zhao Defang, but one was moved to the West Palace by Zhao Guangyi, as if imprisoned; There is nothing to love.

He even pulled out a three-foot green sharp point from the sword pouch hanging on the wall, and wiped it on his neck, blood spurted all over him, and he fainted to the ground, with three souls and seven souls going to the gate of hell to find his parents.

By the time someone found him, Zhao Dezhao had been dead for a long time.

The family quickly reported to Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangyi rushed to visit him. They saw him lying stiff on the bed, his eyes wide open, and he was dying.

After all, Zhao Guangyi and him are close relatives, and he couldn't help feeling sad, tearing up and crying:

"Why are you so stupid, kid! Why are you so stupid?"

He cried for half an hour. In the eyes of others, he really felt distressed, even heartbroken.

In fact, he was just doing a full set of plays to stop everyone's mouths.

Immediately, Zhao Guangyi asked his family members to have a good burial, returned to the palace by himself, issued an imperial edict, presented Zhao Dezhao as the order of Zhongshu, and posthumously named King Wei.Then, after Zhao Guangyi returned to the court, he rewarded the heroes of the conquest of Taiyuan one by one, and generously compensated the families of the deceased.

In addition, adding the title of younger brother Qi Wang Zhao Tingmei as Qin Wang is to comply with the nephew's last wish.

The Liao army defeated the Song army and returned home to repay their merits.

The defeat at Shiling Pass last time made Liao Lord very angry.

The Lord of Liao felt that he was still not relieved this time, so he took an inch and sent Yanjing to stay behind Han Kuangsi, Yelusha, Yeluxiu and others to lead an army of [-], preparing to invade Zhenzhou.

Liu Tinghan, the guard of Zhenzhou, received the alarm and hurriedly asked Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong and others to discuss how to resist.

Liu Tinghan was in a state of anxiety when the soldiers came to attack the city: "Our army was defeated just now, and our vitality was greatly injured. Now the Liao soldiers are invading again, what should we do?"

Cui Yanjin frowned: "If we confront him head-on, the outcome will be hard to tell. Why don't we feign surrender, lure them into the city, and then ambush them, and we will surely win!"

After hearing this, Liu Tinghan shook his head: "I heard that Brother Yeluxiu is famous for his wisdom and courage. I'm afraid he's too old to enter the city."

Li Hanqiong nodded quickly, and then added: "If we donate some food and grass first, let them believe it is true, I don't believe they won't be fooled!"

Liu Tinghan nodded in agreement, and sent someone to offer food to ask for surrender that day.

When Han Kuangsi saw that the Song army had come to surrender and brought food and grass, he dubiously asked when the surrender was agreed.

The false surrender came to explain that it will be noon tomorrow.

Han Kuangsi fully agreed, and sent people to bring the grain and grass into the camp.

At this time, Brother Yeluxiu had finished investigating the enemy's situation, so he reminded him: "The Song army has not yet confronted us, so they came to ask for surrender. There must be something tricky in it, and the marshal has to guard against it!"

Sure enough, Liu Tinghan was not wrong.

Han Kuangsi waved his hand: "I don't think so. If he pretended to surrender, why would he still be willing to donate food and grass?"

"I can't bear the fact that the child can't catch the wolf, maybe it's the bait?"

Han Kuangsi patiently explained: "Our army is at its peak. Last time we defeated [-] Song troops in Gaoliang River. Now that the Song troops have heard that we have killed them again, it is not impossible to leave the city to surrender. I think they must be sincere. Sincerely. Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if it is a false surrender, I am not afraid!"

Seeing that he was obsessed with his obsession and still insisting on me, Brother Yeluxiu had no choice but to withdraw, ordering his subordinates not to act rashly without his orders.

Han Kuangsi and Yelusha happily planned to surrender tomorrow, just like a dream.

Liu Tinghan received the report from the envoy of false surrender, so he gathered his army horses and ordered Li Hanqiong to lead [-] infantry in ambush in the east of the city to attack the way of Liao soldiers; he ordered Cui Yanjin to lead [-] infantry in ambush in the north of the city to cut off the way of Liao soldiers.

At the same time, Liu Tinghan also agreed that the lieutenants Cui Han and Zhao Yanjin would send troops overnight, preparing to send the Liao soldiers to make dumplings.

After the arrangements were made, Song Jun rested peacefully for one night.

The next day, Liu Tinghan opened the city gate wide and led his troops to ambush in the west of the city, waiting for the Liao army to come.

Han Kuangsi, the coach of the Liao Army, took the lead, and Yelusha took charge of the rear army, marching towards Zhenzhou City.

When the army was about to reach the city gate, they saw that the city gate was wide open, but there was no one in sight.

Han Kuangsi was about to march his troops into the city, but Liu Xiongwu, Lieutenant of the Liao Guard, hurriedly stopped him and said, "Marshal can't rush into the city. Since they surrendered, why is there no one outside the city?"

Han Kuangsi thought it was very strange when he thought about it. At this moment, he suddenly heard a trumpet blasting through the sky, and Liu Tinghan was killed from the west of the city, and Li Hanqiong was killed from the east of the city. run.

Seeing the coach turn around, the troops behind also ran back together. The front team collided with Yelusha's rear team, and the Liao army was in chaos.

Yelusha wanted to resist at first, but when he saw that the soldiers did not obey the orders, he had no choice but to retreat.

Suddenly, there was another cannon fire, and Cui Yanjin rushed out again, blocking the retreat of the Liao soldiers.

The Liao army was attacked by the enemy, and there was nothing they could do. They were like dumb people eating coptis, unable to tell what they were suffering.

Unexpectedly, Song generals Cui Han and Zhao Yanjin arrived one after another, and the Song army gathered more and more, and surrounded the Liao army.

Han Kuangsi and Yelusha led the soldiers to risk their lives to break out of the siege, but they were surrounded in all directions like an iron pass, with almost no gaps to get through.

The Song army ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the core of the siege, and the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom were shot upside down, causing countless casualties.

This battle turned defeat into victory, very beautiful!

In the history of wars throughout the ages, there are textbook victories!

When Han Kuangsi and Yelusha were in despair, suddenly a general with a knife and a leaping horse came from the north with an elite force.Han Kuangsi took a closer look and found that it was none other than Brother Yeluxiu. He was overjoyed, and he and Yelusha followed Brother Yeluxiu to break out of the encirclement.

The Song army took advantage of the victory to pursue, obtained countless supplies along the way, and killed tens of thousands of Liao soldiers.

There is much more food and grass dedicated to the Liao army than yesterday.

After chasing to Suicheng, Liu Tinghan ordered to withdraw his troops, return to the original place of defense, and then sent a victory report to the court.

After Zhao Guangyi received the victory report, he told all the officials: "The Liao soldiers did not succeed in invading Zhenzhou. They will definitely invade other places in the future. I have always felt that the Daizhou area is very important, and we must send good generals to guard it, so that people can rest assured."

All the ministers responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, you should dispatch good generals immediately, and make preparations early!"

Zhao Guangyi thought for a moment, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"I have a candidate who can take on this important task. Hurry up and Xuan Yangye has an audience!"

Left and right led the decree and went to summon Yang Ye.

Soon, Yang Ye was sent to meet Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the loyal Yang Ye.

"Aiqing knows the frontier affairs like the palm of his hand, and has both wisdom and courage. I specially appointed Aiqing as the governor of Daizhou. Aiqing must not refuse!"

Yang Ye was surprised and happy when he heard this, and kept kowtowing.

"Since His Majesty ordered it, how dare a courtier shirk it?"

(To be continued)

Chapter 1404 Warm Welcome

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly rewarded him with brocade clothes and jade belts, and ordered him to set off immediately.

Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Yang Ye also felt that what he did was right.

He thanked the emperor for his grace, and then withdrew.

Now that he had the emperor's will, he didn't dare to delay, and he was eager to make contributions.

The next day, Yang Ye took his sons Yang Yanyu, Yang Yanzhao and others to Daizhou to go to work.

Yang Yanzhao is Yang Liulang. After returning to the Song Dynasty with his father, he was appointed as an official and changed his name to Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Ye once said that he is most like himself, so every time he goes out as a teacher, he will definitely take him with him.

When they arrived in Daizhou, it happened to be very cold, and Yang Ye personally supervised the repair of the city wall. Although the wind and snow were fluttering, he still did not relax at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo, and the winter went to spring, the grass slowly grew, and the army and horses of the Liao Kingdom were fat and strong, so they were ready to invade again.

The Lord of Liao sent Yelusha and Yelu Xiezhen to lead [-] troops to Yanmen Pass.

Yanmenguan is located in the north of Daizhou, and it is the gateway of Daizhou. Once it is lost, Daizhou will be in danger.

Yang Ye was very worried when he heard that the [-] troops of the Liao army were coming. He frowned and said to his sons Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanyu:

"The Liao army is said to be one hundred thousand, but we have only ten or twenty thousand people. Even if one is against ten, it may not be sure that we will win. We can only use tricks to give him a blow, lest the Liao people look down on us."

Yang Yanzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Boy, I have a trick. I can lead a strong army, go around the back of the Liao army from the trail, and give them a surprise. It will definitely succeed."

After hearing this, Yang Ye felt that this method was good, so he kept nodding his head.

"I think the same way. There are not so many soldiers and horses. You just need to go ahead and attack them in the dark, scare them, and let them flee in panic."

At the moment, Yang Ye selected several thousand elites, set off from the west opening of Yanmen Pass, and circled to the north of Yanmen Pass.

It happened to be midnight at this time, the moonlight was dim, and the wind was blowing.

Yang Yanzhao saw from a distance that the Yanmen Gate was closed, and the Liao army camp was stationed tens of kilometers in darkness.

Yang Ye ordered Yang Yanyu to lead [-] troops to enter from the left; he ordered Yang Yanzhao to lead [-] troops to enter from the right, and he led hundreds of cavalry to attack the Chinese army.

These three soldiers and horses took advantage of the night to attack the Liao army's camp, and when they got near the Liao army's camp, they shouted in unison, and the sound of charging and killing was loud.

Yelusha, Yelu Xiezhen and others were only wary of the soldiers in the pass coming out to attack the camp, but unexpectedly the Song army was so bold that they went around to the rear camp.

Just like the heavenly soldiers and generals who fell from the sky, the Liao army was so scared that they hid in Tibet.

In the camp of the Liao army, there was Xiao Duoli, the son-in-law of the Liao Dynasty, who thought he was brave and invincible. He came out of the camp to meet the enemy with a big axe. He happened to meet Yang Linggong.

The two horses fought, and they hadn't fought ten rounds, only to hear Yang Linggong yell, and Xiao Duoli flew down under the horse with his helmet on his head.

Seeing Xiao Duo and Li's death, the Liao soldiers became even more panicked and broke up immediately.

Liao Prime Minister Yelusha, Liao General Yelu Xiezhen and others were frightened by the Song army and fled in panic.

The soldiers of the Liao army were in chaos, and countless people were trampled to death.

Yang Ye and his son bluffed, killed the Liao soldiers, organized the army and returned to Yanmen Pass, inspected the soldiers, and only injured a dozen people.

After resting for half a day, he returned to Daizhou and sent a good news to the imperial court.

After this defeat, the Liao people called Yang Ye "Yang Wudi". Whenever they saw the banner with the word "Yang", they would turn around and run away.

When the Lord of Liao heard that his army had failed and returned, he was furious, and even supervised the army himself, aggressively invaded the Song Dynasty again, and ordered Yeluxiu to be the vanguard to attack Waqiao Pass.

The soldiers guarding the pass heard that the Liao army had retreated twice, and they had no tricks to measure him.Brother Yeluxiu selected the elite and crossed the river from the south. The general of the Song army bullied the few soldiers he led and let him ashore instead of intercepting. After all the Liao soldiers crossed the river, the Song and Liao armies began a fierce confrontation.

Who knew that Brother Yeluxiu's subordinates were all experienced in many battles, and they were extremely brave. Song Jun was not an opponent, and he killed them all in pieces.

In the end, even Waqiaoguan was lost, and the Song army scattered and fled to Mozhou.

Brother Yeluxiu chased to the city of Mozhou and ordered soldiers to besiege it, vowing to take it down.

The guards in the city rushed to report to the Song court for [-] miles. Zhao Guangyi ordered the conquest in person and mobilized all the generals to march north.

During the march, Zhao Guangyi received news of the defeat and quickly ordered to advance quickly.

When he arrived in Daming, he heard that the Lord of Liao had retreated, so Zhao Guangyi ordered Cao Han to deploy his generals to defend, and returned to Bianjing by himself.

A few days after returning to Bianjing, Zhao Guangyi wanted to launch a crusade against the Liao Kingdom. Most of the officials in the court catered to the emperor's wishes, and they all reported that Youzhou, Jizhou and other places should be seized first.

Zhang Qixian is a native of Caozhou. He is very courageous and known far and wide.

When Taizu visited Luoyang earlier, Zhang Qixian was just a commoner, and offered ten suggestions to Taizu, Taizu adopted four, and six were not satisfactory.

Zhang Qixian insisted on his own opinion, and insisted that the ten items were all right, which angered Taizu, so Taizu ordered him to be beaten out with sticks.

Soon Taizu returned to Bianjing and said to Zhao Guangyi.

"I visited the Western Capital this time, and met a man named Zhang Qixian, who is very talented. You can let him be your prime minister in the future. You must keep it in mind."

Zhao Guangyi nodded, remembering it firmly at that time.

Datang Chang'an.

In the temple where Tang Seng became a monk, the young monks were cleaning the yard and wiping the Buddha statues, their faces were full of joy.

"Have you heard? It is said that Master Sanzang has returned from learning scriptures, and the king of Tang will definitely reward our temple when the time comes!"
