Chao Gai sent an order to the officers and soldiers of Hutang to pacify the people in Tanzhou City, and no offense was allowed in the autumn. On the one hand, he wrote a petition to inform the Taojun Emperor that he had won the Tanzhou City, and escorted all the treasury, silk, gold, yuan, and jewelry to the capital; on the other hand, he wrote a letter to petition the Dragon Group.
The leader of the team, Song Gongming, reported this matter to prevent traitors.
When Emperor Daojun heard the report, Long Yan was overjoyed. He immediately issued an imperial edict and sent Zhao Fufu, the Tongzhi of the Tokyo Prefecture, to command 30,000 troops and horses from the imperial camp, to come to supervise and appease the people and take over Tanzhou City.
However, Chao Gai and Lin Chong heard the news from Song Gongming, so he led the Hutang generals out of the city to meet Zhao Fufu from a distance, and rested in the yamen of Tanzhou Prefecture, which temporarily served as the marshal's residence of the three armies.
All the generals from Xiaoyaomen Hutang came to see them, and the ceremony had been completed. It turned out that Zhao Fu, whose ancestor was from the Zhao family sect, was a generous and benevolent man, and his work was upright and generous. He was a loyal minister, Su Taiwei, who was sent to protect the memorial in front of the emperor.
This good minister came to the border to supervise and comfort the soldiers and horses of Hutang.
When Zhao Fufu saw Chao Gai Rende, he was very happy and said: "The Holy One knows that you and other generals have worked hard and the soldiers have worked hard, so he specially sent subordinates to come to the front of the army to supervise and comfort him, so he rewarded the generals in Hutang with twenty-five carriages of gold and silver satin.
If you have achieved outstanding achievements, you should report it to the Ming court and ask you to be demoted and given the title of wife and son."
Lin Chong said with a smile: "To appease your Majesty, we have received the master's instructions and received the emperor's holy mandate. We should protect the country and the people, protect the foundation of the Song Dynasty for eternity, grant officials and titles, and make wives and children, but we are really not interested."
Chao Gai nodded and thanked him: "Please appease your Majesty and lead an army of 30,000 to guard Tanzhou City. I and other commanders will divide their troops to attack key prefectures and counties in the Liao Kingdom and teach him not to look after each other." Then he rectified his troops and led the tiger.
All the soldiers in the hall marched forward with their troops.
Yang Xiong, who was at Bingguan Suo, reported: "Marshal, in front of us is Jizhou City. Jizhou is located at a strategic transportation hub, and it is a large county. It has a lot of money and food, and abundant rice and wheat. We have conquered Jizhou, and there are many places to choose from."
After hearing Yang Xiong's words, Chao Gai discussed with deputy hall leader Lin Chong, military advisor Wu Yong, and Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng, and decided to divide the troops into two groups...
…
The marshal of the Liao Kingdom stationed in Jizhou was King Yelv Dezhong, the younger brother of the Wolf Lord of the Liao Kingdom. He led four children: the eldest son Zongyun, the second son Zonglei, the third son Zongdian, and the fourth son Zonglin. He had more than ten generals,
A general in charge is called Baomi Sheng, and a deputy commander in chief is called Tianshan Yong.
Yelv Dezhong was discussing the military situation with the generals when suddenly Meteoric Horse came to report and said: "Chao Gai's troops came in two groups to attack Jizhou, fighting all the way to Pingyu County and all the way to Yutian County."
After hearing the news, the emperor's brother immediately issued an order: "Deputy Commander Tianshan Yong, you lead the troops and horses of our headquarters to guard Pingyu County, and don't fight with them. I will lead the troops to Yutian County first, and after I have eliminated the Liangshan troops in Yutian County
Horses, and then surrounded and killed them from behind, where did the Liangshan Song Army in Pingyu County flee to?"
The king, his younger brother, reported to Bazhou and Youzhou, and taught two armies and horses to come to meet them. At the same time, he asked Baomi Sheng to guard Jizhou City. Tianshan Yong led his troops to Shoupingyu County, and he personally led Jizhou City.
The state army, leading four children, rushed to Yutian County.
…
Lin Chong and the Hutang generals led Hutang's 10,000 troops and headed for Yutian County without stopping.
Lin Chong discussed with military adviser Wu Yong: "Now the soldiers of Hutang are in close combat with the Liao army. Our geography is unfamiliar. What method should we use to meet the enemy?"
Wu Yong replied: "In my opinion, since our geography is unfamiliar, soldiers and horses cannot move forward without authorization; we can arrange the troops in the shape of a long snake, with the head and tail corresponding, and the cycle is unreasonable. In this way, there is no need to worry about the geography."
Lin Chong said happily: "What the military advisor said is exactly what I want." Then he ordered the Hutang soldiers to speed up and advance. From a distance, he saw Liao soldiers coming from a distance, but he saw:
The yellow sand is long and the black mist is thick. The carved flags are spread out with dark clouds, and the horses are wandering for a long time with a murderous look. The green felt hats are like thousands of lotus leaves blowing in the breeze;
, all of them have shoulder-length hair. They are heavily clad in chain-link iron armor and tied tightly with stabbing robes. The Liao army is strong and strong, with dark skin, blue eyes, and yellow beards; roaring horses, broad arms, steel waists, and iron feet. Goat-horn bows are filled with sand willow arrows.
The tiger skin robe is lined with a narrow carved saddle. He lives in the frontier fortress and grows up to be able to draw a hard bow. He lives in Shuofang and is raised to be able to ride bad horses. When the bronze army fights in front, he will immediately blow the reed leaf and beard.
The emperor's younger brother, King Yelu, was so important that he led his troops to Yutian County first and deployed his troops in a battle array. Wu Yong, military advisor of Hutang, went up the ladder to look down and reported back to Lin Chong: "The formation set up by the commander-in-chief of the Liao soldiers is...
The 'Five Tigers Backing Mountain Formation' is not surprising."
Wu Yong went up to the general platform again, waved the flag, turned left and right, mobilized the troops in Hutang, and also formed a formation. Lin Chong looked at it and didn't recognize it, so he asked the military advisor: "What kind of formation is this?"
Wu Yong said: "This is the formation of 'Kun turns into a Peng'." Lin Chong said: "What is 'Kun turns into a Peng'?"
Wu Yong said: "There is a fish in the North Sea, and its name is Kun. It can turn into a big roc and fly ninety thousand miles. This formation looks like a small formation when viewed from a distance, but when attacked, it turns into a large formation, so it is called "
Kun turned into a peng.'" Lin Chong heard this and praised him endlessly.
When the enemy's drums sounded and the gate flags were raised, the emperor's younger brother, King Yelu, was so important that he went out in person, with four children on the left and right, all dressed in ordinary clothes, but saw:
Wearing an iron manli and an arrow helmet with a pure black ball tassel on the head. The body is lined with a round mirror and fine willow leaf armor, tied with a lion gold belt. The whip boots have a half-curved eagle beak, and the pear flower robe has a brocaded dragon hanging on it.
They all have strong bows and crossbows, and they all ride on horses with carved saddles. They have Kun swords at their waists and sweep knives in their hands.
In the middle, the emperor's younger brother, King Yelu, was heavily guarded. There were four young generals on both sides, with small bright mirrors hanging on both shoulder blades of their bodies, with tassels embedded on the sides of the mirrors. Four precious swords and four fast horses were all placed in front of the formation.
Behind the emperor's younger brother, there were many generals arranged in layers.
The four young generals shouted loudly: "Why are you waiting for the Liangshan grass bandits to invade our borders?"
Deputy Marshal Lin Chong heard this and asked, "When the two armies are facing each other, which junior brother should go out to fight first?" Before he could finish his words, Yang Lin, the "Golden Leopard", had already wielded his magic sword and was the first to attack.
Yelu Zongyun, the general of the Liao Dynasty over there, came to fight Yang Lin with his sword and slapped his horse. The two could not fight three times, but Yang Lin gave a loud shout, cut him in two with his sword, and fell under the horse.
When Yelu Zonglin saw that he had killed his brother, he was furious. He slapped his horse and danced with his sword, and came to kill Yang Lin. When General Shi Yong saw this, he stepped out with a sword in hand, met Yelu Zonglin, and started fighting. Shi Yong used Lingbo Weibu.
, got behind him early, jumped up and slashed out with his sword, splitting Yelu Zonglin in half.
The second brother Yelu Zonglei and the third brother Yelu Zongdian saw that their elder brother and younger brother had both died tragically at the hands of the two generals of Bohu Hall in Liangshan. They were so angry that they lost their minds. They jumped on their horses with their swords raised and went out to fight, hoping to replace their brothers.
The younger brother takes revenge.
King Yelu, his younger brother, was seriously injured. He saw his eldest son was cut in half by Yang Lin and his fourth son was cut in half by Shi Yong. He was already grief-stricken and panicked. Seeing his second son and third son coming forward to avenge him, he was afraid that the two sons would come forward again.
Losing his life, he hurriedly asked for gold and retreated his troops.
Lin Chong, the leader of the leopard, waved his handsome flag and shouted: "Tiger men, the time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country. Charge for me! Kill!"
Ten thousand Tiger Hall soldiers, who were the third generation disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, suddenly rushed towards the Liao army like tigers coming out of the gate. They were invincible and unstoppable. They killed the Liao soldiers directly. The stars fell into the clouds. They were defeated and lost. They abandoned their helmets and armor and cried.
The father shouted for his mother, and they fled for their lives. The Liao army lost more than 20,000 horses.
His younger brother, King Yelu, was seriously injured. Together with his second son, Zong Lei, and his third son, Zong Dian, they fought their way out of the siege and led the remaining defeated troops to retreat to Jizhou. Lin Chong led the Hutang soldiers to take advantage of the situation and seize Yutian County, appease the people in the city, and the three armies stayed in the city.
Rest.
The next day, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Shi Yong and Yang Lin were left behind to guard Yutian County with 2,000 soldiers. Lin Chong personally led 8,000 Hutang soldiers and rushed to Pingyu County, joining forces with Chao Gai to attack Pingyu County.
county.
Tianshan Yong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Pingyu County, saw that Yutian County had been lost. His younger brother, the king, was defeated and fled back to Jizhou City. He could not stand alone and the Liangshan Mountains were too powerful, so he abandoned Pingyu County and fled back to Jizhou City.
Chao Gai captured Pingyu County, leaving behind Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang, and led 2,000 Hutang soldiers to guard Pingyu County. Zhao Fufu guarded Tanzhou. He and Lin Chong joined forces and went straight to Jizhou. It didn't take half a day.
, then came to set up camp twenty miles outside Jizhou City.
Chao Gai said to Lin Chong in the main tent of the Chinese army: "Gongsun Sheng was originally from Jizhou, Yang Xiong also served as a minister in that mansion, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian also lived there for a long time. I sent Shi Qian, Shi Xiu
, pretending to be defeated soldiers, mixed in, they will all be stationed in Jizhou City. If the two of them can enter the city, they will have a place to go. Shi Qian once offered a suggestion: "There is a big temple in Jizhou City, called Baoyan."
There are Buddhist treasures under the corridors of the temple, and in the middle is the Mahavira Hall. In front of it is a pagoda that towers into the sky. Shi Xiu said: "Tell him to hide on the top of the pagoda. I will take care of his daily meals. I will only wait for the city."
When the attack by the troops and horses of Waihutang was urgent, they would set a fire on the Baoyan Temple tower as a signal. Shi Qianzi was a robber who was accustomed to flying over eaves and walls. Wasn't he hiding there? Shi Xiu would naturally go to the state government office to set fire to it.
, the two of them have discussed it and have left."
…
His younger brother, King Yelu Dezhong, was deeply upset and resentful after losing two of his children, so he discussed with the generals, Commander-in-Chief Baomi Sheng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tianshan Yong, and others: "Last time, Zhuozhou and Bazhou sent reinforcements, and they dispersed back. Now Chao
Gai leads his troops to attack Jizhou, how should we respond?"
The general of the army, Baomi Sheng said: "The young general went out to confront Liangshanbo's soldiers and horses in person. If we don't capture several of their generals alive, will Liangshanbo's soldiers be willing to retreat?"
His younger brother, King Yelu Dezhong, quickly ordered the three troops and horses, called Baomi Sheng, and Tianshan Yong rushed out of the city to meet the enemy. Ten miles away from the city, he fought with Chao Gai's troops stationed in Liangshan.
Both sides set up their respective battle formations, and the Liao general Baomi Sheng Hengshu came out. Chao Gai saw clearly in front of the formation, so he asked the generals in Hutang: "Beheading the general and seizing the flag is the first achievement!"
"The last general is willing to go!" I saw Xiao Wen Hou Lu Fang holding a halberd and riding his horse forward to fight with Bao Misheng, the Liao general. Lu Fang wanted to show off his victory, so he held Fang Tianhua's halberd and fought to the point of passion.
Bao Lei also shouted loudly, drew his spear, wiped the neck of Baomi Sheng with the blade of his halberd, and then dismounted his horse.
The two armies shouted, and the Liao general Tianshan Yong saw Baomi Sheng dismounting from his horse, and hurriedly snatched him out with his spear. In the Hutang camp, Sai Rengui and Guo Sheng came forward with a halberd. The two horses met, but they could not fight for five rounds and were defeated.
Guo Sheng summoned his might, raised a halberd, and stabbed Tianshan Yong under his horse.
When Chao Gai saw that he had won two generals in a row, he was overjoyed and mobilized the troops of Hutang to cover up and kill him. The Liao soldiers were defeated and lost, so they rushed to Jizhou City. Chao Gai's troops drove for several miles, then returned and rewarded the three armies for their efforts.
On the same day, the order was sent, and the troops were raised up from the stronghold and arrived at the gate of Jizhou City.
Seeing the loss of two generals, his younger brother, the king, was very panicked. He also saw Tan Ma coming to report: "Liang Shanbo's army has arrived at the city!" Yelu became more and more depressed, so he ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and each general went up to the tower to guard the city. While reporting,
Reporting to the Wolf Lord of the Ming Dynasty, he sent people to Bazhou and Youzhou to ask for help.
Chao Gai and Wu Yong discussed the plan: "Yelv is unable to hold out in the heavy city. What good strategy can the military advisors have?"
Wu Yong said: "Since there is a stone show in the city and Shi Qian is inside, how can the Liao army defend the city for a long time? Instruct all the soldiers to erect ladders on all sides to attack the city." Chao Gai then sent an order to attack the city from all sides overnight.
Besides, King Yelu, his younger brother, was very important. Seeing that Liangshanbo's soldiers were attacking fiercely from all sides, he drove all the people in Jizhou City and went up to the tower to protect Jizhou City.
Shi Xiu had been guarding Baoyan Temple in the city for many days, but saw no movement. Suddenly he came to report: "The soldiers of Hutang outside the city are attacking fiercely. If we don't set fire here, when will we wait?" Shi Xiu saw this and said, and he and
Shi Qian decided to light a fire from the pagoda first, and then go to the Buddhist temple to burn it.
Shi Qian said: "Go to the state government office and set fire to it, and then light a few more places in important places at the south gate. When the soldiers of Hutang outside see the fire, they will definitely work harder to attack the city. Are you worried that Jizhou City will not be broken?" Two people
After a good discussion, fires were set off everywhere.
The emperor's brother, the lawyer Wang Ye, was very important. He saw that within a short time, four or five fires broke out in the city. He knew that someone from Chao Gai was in the city. He hurriedly packed up his troops and horses, and took a family and two children with him.
Load your belongings into the car, open the north door and escape.
Chao Gai saw the army and horses in the city were in panic, and urged the soldiers of Hutang to rush into Jizhou City. Outside the city, there were shouts of killing, and the south gate had been captured early. Chao Gai led the soldiers of Hutang to enter Jizhou City, and then
The commander-in-chief passed down the command, and first ordered all the soldiers to extinguish the wind and fire in all directions. At dawn, he came out to appease the people of Jizhou. All the soldiers and horses of Hutang were collected and garrisoned in Jizhou City, and the generals of Hutang were rewarded for their service.
Chao Gai wrote a document and reported to Zhao Fu that Zhao Fu knew that Liangshan's army had captured Jizhou County and asked Prime Minister Fu Fu to come and garrison him. Zhao Fu Fu replied to the document and said: "I am in Tanzhou, and I am stationed there to teach Marshal Chao and guard the city of Jizhou."
It is hot today and the weather is very hot, so we cannot mobilize troops. We will wait until the weather is slightly cooler to make plans." Chao Gai received the reply and ordered the soldiers of Hutang to garrison Jizhou City.
…
His younger brother, King Yelu, was seriously injured and led some of the remaining troops to defeat the general. He took the old and the young and ran back to Youzhou City until Yanjing, Liao State, where he came to see the Wolf Lord of Liao Dynasty. With tears in his eyes, he reported the detailed military situation.
The Wolf Lord of the Liao Kingdom listened to the performance and said, "Brother, please get up, let's have a good discussion here."
The Lord Wolf of the Liao Kingdom asked: "Who was the general who led the troops in the Song Dynasty?" Chu Jian, the Prime Minister on the right in the squad, came out of the squad and said: "Long live Lord Wolf, the one who led the troops in the Song Dynasty was Chao Gai of Liangshan Bo. It's just that I heard about Chao Gai recently.
Shuibo Liangshan joined the mysterious sect Xiaoyaomen and became Xiaoyaomen Hutang."
The Wolf Lord of the Liao Kingdom said: "The mysterious sect Xiaoyaomen Hutang? What should we do?" A military attache came out from the squad, and it turned out to be Ouyang Shilang.
Long live! Although the humble minister is not talented, he is willing to contribute a small plan to retreat the Song Dynasty to Liangshan and park troops."
The Wolf Lord of Liao State was overjoyed and said: "Since the Qing family has a good strategy, let's talk about it immediately." Ouyang Shilang said countless words...
