"After the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were ceded to the Khitan (Liao Dynasty), the Central Plains lost their natural and artificial defense lines with the northern nomadic peoples, and the Liao Kingdom also began to move from simple nomadic peoples to ethnic groups that were mixed with nomadic peoples. In the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Han people also lived with the Khitan people.

In the sixth year of Xiande, Chai Rong, the Later Zhou Dynasty, led his army to attack Liao, and advanced by water and land. Within more than a month, Ying, Mo, Ning (south of Jinghai County, Tianjin), as well as Yijin Pass (ba County, Hebei), Waqiao Pass (south of Zhuo County), and Yukou Pass. In May, when he wanted to capture Youzhou (now Beijing), he was seriously ill and died in Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) on June 19th.

After the Emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin replaced the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the Song Dynasty, facing the threat of the Liao Dynasty (Khitan) cavalry from the sixteen states of Yanyun, he had to plant trees near Bianjing to block the invasion of the northern cavalry.

Song Taizu was a man with great ambitions. After becoming the emperor, he did not forget to recover Yan Yun. He once set up a "pin warehouse" in the inner treasury, intending to redeem lost land with money. The Song Dynasty also built the "Beijing" Daming Prefecture in southern Hebei to confront the Liao Kingdom. But after Song Taizu's death, all this was in vain. Until Song Taizong ascended the throne, he was the emperor who was not right, so he urgently needed to use civil and military skills to establish his prestige. In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, he personally moved to Youzhou, trying to recover the Yanyun area in one fell swoop, and fought fiercely in Gaoliang River, but the Song army was defeated. Song Taizong was shot and fled in a donkey cart.

Since then, the Northern Song Dynasty fought a long war with Liao and failed to occupy this place. In the first year of Jingde, Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty arrived in the northern city of Chanzhou, and later established a ceasefire peace agreement with the Liao Kingdom in Chanzhou, which was known in history as the "Chanyuan Alliance". After that, there was no war on the border between the Song and Liao Dynasty, but in the end, there was a Song Dynasty, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun never returned to the hands of our Han people.

"From the demise of the Tang Dynasty, to the present, the sixteen states in the north have fallen into the northern nomads for more than 400 years?" Mao Xiang sighed heavily, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Brother Xiao, do you know that if General Xu, General Chang could capture Shandong in one fell swoop, move his troops north, seize Tongguan, and then advance to Dadu. Taking advantage of the isolated support of the Tatars, he would send troops westward. Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu could sweep down. These sixteen states of Yanyun could return to the hands of our Han people. This is definitely a great event worthy of the pride and joy of our Han people!"

Xiao Yun was also moved by Mao Xiang's words, nodded and said, "This is indeed something worthy of happiness and anticipation. I believe that Brother Xu and Brother Chang will definitely not disappoint us!"

"Yes, General Xu, General Chang is like a god. He will definitely be able to capture the majority of the Tartars and retake the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!" Mao Xiang held his palm tightly and seemed extremely excited.

"Grandpa, I can't tell you that this future spy leader has a patriotic heart? Didn't you tell you?" Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, and he also had a little more respect for this brother.[

The two of them talked for a while, then stopped for a while and waved their whip all the way.

When they arrived at Shandong Daying, it was already dusk. The sky in Shandong seemed gloomy than the south, and the wind was stronger, so it was no different. The two of them saw camp camps setting up in a small hill camp tent on the border of Shandong. Compared with the dark night in Shandong, the camp was filled with torches and bright lights. The soldiers around the tent were lit and cooked, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.

"General Geng is someone coming-?" The inspectors outside the door found a man and shouted quickly. There was a big movement in the military camp. In the finished shaped camp, the curtain was lifted, and two people walked out. One of them was in armor and had a long figure. It was Geng Bingwen.

The person behind him was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big nose with the vermicelli that the water had as good as the other person on the water. He followed Geng Bingwen and strode towards the carriage.

This man's surname is Zhao, and his name is Yong. He is from Luzhou, Jiangbei, Henan and other places in Henan Province (now Hefei City, Anhui Province). Zhao Zhongzhong's younger brother, was guarding Shuizhai and stationed troops in Chaohu in his early years. Later, he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, he was promoted to the magistrate and political affairs. He attacked Kanglang Mountain with Yu Tonghai, Liao Yongzhong and others. Later, he occupied Wuchang, Luzhou, Anfeng, Huaidong, Hai'an, Taizhou, and was promoted to the Left Chief of the Secretariat. He was a powerful martial artsman and could fight. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang specially transferred from Xu Da's army to assist Xiao Yun.

"General——?" Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes and shouted at Geng Bingwen.

Geng Bingwen also narrowed his eyes, looked at the carriage, waved his hands and said, "Don't panic, if it were the Tartars, there would be no only one carriage. Besides, we have 30,000 troops in our hands, so even if the Tartars come, they are not afraid of it?" This time, he was ordered to escort food and grass, 30,000 troops and Xu Da's army set out at the same time. After two days and one night of rapid travel, he finally arrived at the territory of Shandong. Nothing happened along the way. Seeing that the soldiers were tired, Geng Bingwen ordered the soldiers to rest, burn fire and rebel, have a good sleep tonight, and continue to rush to the morning of the morning. Unexpectedly, there would be some movement so soon.

The two of them squinted their eyes and looked at the carriage that was gradually driving into the camp. When they saw the handheld-style dressed in Jinling clothes, Geng Bingwen and Zhao Yong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Geng Bingwen said, "Our own?"

Soon the carriage drove in front of the two of them, and when the curtain was lifted, Xiao Yun jumped off first, followed by Mao Xiang.

"General Xiao, it turns out it's you. You finally came?" Geng Bingwen's face filled with smiles and hurriedly greeted him.

When Xiao Yun saw that he was an old acquaintance and the famous Geng Bingwen, he felt even more at ease. He hurriedly went up to him and clasped his fists and said, "Oh, isn't this General Geng? You're here too. Can I sleep peacefully now?"

Geng Bingwen also knew his "sex" and said without saying much, "We thought the general was reluctant to come to his family?"

Xiao Yun's face turned gloomy and said, "Look at what you said, is this general the kind of person who can't erase the love between children? Besides, who am I? You don't go to Jinling to inquire. That's an honest young man, how can you break the promise!"

Geng Bingwen laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, but the general is still so funny?"

Xiao Yun immediately replied, "Everyone!"[

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The atmosphere on the field became lively for a moment. Xiao Yun saw 30,000 soldiers wearing armor and holding a big knife in his hand. Even the soldiers who were cooking fires and making meals were also single swords. His expression was solemn! "Xiao Yun nodded and thought to himself: "It seems that Geng Bingwen is not only good at fighting, but also guarding the city, but also training soldiers. This time, he has this person in charge of transporting food and grass, so there is no need to worry!"
