As night fell, Yang Peng leaned on the edge of the bathroom sink, admiring the beautiful scenery. Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi walked slowly from the left to the right, their hair tied into a bun on their heads, and their pretty faces showed a slutty look.
Charming smiles, waists swaying gently, like beautiful snakes; they only wear thin gauze clothes, and the wonderful scene of the Holy Land can be vaguely seen. When they are immersed in the water, the gauze clothes are completely wet and stick to the floating body.
The scene on the convex and delicate body can probably make a blind man open his eyes. Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi may not be considered stunning, but they obviously know how to please men very well!
The cheerful music sounded loudly, and the moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
The next morning, Yang Peng sat in his study and read the report. This was the report sent by Qin Yuefang yesterday afternoon. According to the content of the report, many industries in various places are on the right track and have basically begun to make profits, especially
It's Baifeng Pavilion in Hangzhou. Because Qin Yuefang summoned a team of Persian dancers, Baifeng Pavilion's business has improved to a higher level than before. Now it can earn 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver a month. But not long ago, something happened
In a small episode, the Hangzhou prefect did not know the background of Baifeng Pavilion at the time and actually wanted to blackmail Qin Yuefang. However, when Qin Yuefang brought out the Yang Peng sign, the prefect ran away in despair and was never seen again.
Dare to cause trouble.
A secret guard came in, cupped his fists and said, "Master, Qin Yuefang is here." Yang Peng raised his head and saw Qin Yuefang. Qin Yuefang was dressed in a long black gauze dress, with beads in her bun. She was dressed very delicately.
She is definitely a beautiful young woman, and although Sun Hong next to her is also dressed in silk and satin and heavily made-up, she looks like a butcher, not even half as feminine as a woman.
Qin Yuefang bowed to Yang Peng Yingying and said, "I have met Brother Yang." Sun Hong clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yang." Yang Peng smiled and said, "You are here." Qin Yuefang smiled slightly and Sun Hong nodded.
Yang Peng said: "I have read your report. You have done a great job. I really didn't expect that in just a few months, all the newly opened businesses in various places are on the right track and starting to make profits!"
Qin Yuefang smiled and said: "In fact, it is not our credit, because these industries have a considerable foundation in the local area, and they are just some minor problems. If we solve these minor problems, these industries will naturally be profitable immediately." Sun Hong clicked.
Nodding, "Miss Qin is right. Brother, we have something to ask you for today."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "What's going on?" Sun Hong said with a smile: "Qin Yuefang and I saw that Baihualou's business was so good, and we wanted to open a branch in Jiangzhou."
Yang Peng smiled and said, "If you think it's feasible, just do it." Before you know it, a month has passed. The recruitment of new recruits has been completed, and they are undergoing arduous training under the supervision of Duan Zhixian, the evil star. Another
On the other hand, the ordnance field managed by Yang Ying was working overtime day and night to produce armor and ordnance. The news of Cangzhou's expansion of military training and ordnance production inevitably spread to the capital, but because Yang Peng had made preparations in advance, this matter did not happen.
What waves did it cause?
However, another incident caused great shock in the court: Gao Hu's army once again made a northern expedition, this time with an army of 50,000. Almost all the imperial troops in the Song Dynasty around the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun were dispatched. However, this massive expedition
However, they did not achieve the victory that everyone had hoped for. Instead, the entire army was wiped out again. Only Gao Hu and a few hundred others escaped. The 50,000-strong army was either killed or captured, and was completely wiped out by the Liao army!
What's more serious is that this time the Liao army was not just satisfied with defeating Gao Hu. After annihilating Gao Suo's troops, the Liao army's chief general Xiao Duli led a 60,000-strong army with Zhao Chengfeng as the forward and boldly invaded Cangzhou.
There is smoke billowing in Cangzhou.
The imperial court was completely unprepared for such a situation. Pang Taishi, who was highly relied upon by the emperor, became mute at this time. All civil and military officials in the court, whether loyal or traitor, were helpless. Even the Eighth Prince lost his voice.
In Cangzhou, Yang Peng received the urgent report from Jinyiwei and couldn't help frowning, "Damn, it's much earlier than I expected! This Gao Hu is such a waste!" Duan Zhixian clasped his fists excitedly and said: "Brother, we
Send troops!" Yang Peng nodded, stood up, and glanced at the brothers. The brothers held their heads high and their chests high, eager to follow Yang Peng into battle.
Yang Peng said: "This battle is different from the past. Our opponents are not the bandits who robbed their homes, but the powerful Liao army! But I absolutely believe that our army will be able to defeat them!" Duan Zhixian said loudly: "What about the Liao army?
?In the eyes of the Sa family, they are just a group of sheep!" Everyone laughed.
Yang Peng said: "The first division, the second division, the third division, the direct troops, the secret guards, will go out with me, and the fourth division will stay in Cangzhou. Do you understand?" Everyone clasped their fists together and said: "I understand!" A reserve division
Stay in Tianjing New City and Dagou, and do not leave the city to fight in the field without orders. Anyone who does so will be killed without mercy.
"Everyone go down and get ready to start tomorrow morning." Everyone agreed and filed out of the hall. Didn't Yang Peng only have three divisions under his command? How did it become five divisions? It turned out that Yang Peng expanded the total number of troops to 54,000.
After more than a thousand people, two new divisions were formed, the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division. The commander of the fourth division was Xiang Danianzhi, and his deputy was Yang Ying. The commander of the fifth division was Chen Jie. His deputy,
Yang Xiong
Just when Yang Peng was preparing to send troops, the Liao army had swept through the entire Dingzhou. Dingzhou's soldiers and civilians suffered numerous casualties. The bodies of men were everywhere, and young women were taken as trophies and transported to the north one by one. The Liao army's front turned from the east.
West, trying to cut off the entire East Road of Hebei in one fell swoop. When the governors of Baozhou, Shun'an Army, and Yongning Army heard that the enemy was fierce, they all abandoned the city and fled. People everywhere also panicked and fled to the inland with their families.
All the official roads were blocked by refugees, and the cries echoed through the sky. Children who were separated from their parents sat on the roadside and howled. People rushed to escape, and many people were trampled to death. The corpses of collapsed refugees could be seen everywhere on both sides of the official roads.
"Liao Army! The Liao Army is coming!" A shrill exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd. As if in response to this cry, a loud rumble came from the east, and smoke and dust swept in. In the blink of an eye, the Liao Army's cavalry
Breaking into the middle of the people, slashing with scimitars, only to see flesh and blood flying everywhere, trampling with iron hooves, only to see corpses scattered in the field; the people ran around shouting, trampling on each other, and countless people died.
Bad news continued to spread back to Tokyo, and the entire capital was panicked. "Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only move the capital south!" Master Pang finally made a suggestion. Li Te and others agreed. The emperor couldn't help but feel moved.
"No! If the capital is moved, the situation in the entire north will be difficult to deal with! If Your Majesty leaves, will the soldiers and civilians in the north still have the heart to resist the Hulu? At that time, the entire Central Plains will inevitably fall, and I am afraid that our southern corner will not be safe for a long time! Your Majesty
, the capital must not be abandoned! The army should be mobilized immediately to counterattack the Liao Kingdom! The Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures of the Liao Kingdom only have 80,000 troops in total. Our dynasty has a million forbidden troops. Should we move the capital just because of these 80,000 barbarians? This is ridiculous.
!" These words are precise and precise, and they come from the mouth of Kou Zhun, that is, Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun was not in the capital before, but in the west of Beijing to inspect the public situation. He just rushed back to Tokyo today. Hearing that the situation was urgent, he took a rest with all the dust on his body.
Come to court and see the driver.
The emperor originally wanted to move the capital, but after hearing Kou Zhun's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Master Pang said angrily: "Gao Hu's 50,000-strong army was wiped out in an instant, so what use can other armies do? Moreover, it will take time to mobilize troops from various places. What if the Liao army marches straight into Tokyo?
good?"
Kou Zhun said vigorously: "If the Hulu really dare to do this, then there is nothing better! We can use the strong city of Tokyo to contain the Liao army, and at the same time order the imperial troops at Jingdong East Road and Hebei West Road to cut off the Liao army's retreat. In this way
Come, the invading Hulu has become a turtle in a urn!"
Li Te sneered and said, "What you said is true, but I don't know where Lord Kou puts His Majesty's safety. How can you feel safe using Your Majesty as bait?"
Kou Zhun was furious, pointed at Li Te's nose and asked sternly: "You are so anxious to persuade His Majesty to abandon the inheritance of your ancestors, you have ulterior motives! Are you the Taiwei of the Song Dynasty, or the Taiwei of the Liao Kingdom?"
Li Te took a step forward and shouted loudly: "You clearly want to kill His Majesty in order to achieve an ulterior purpose!"
The two of them were quarreling so red that they were almost fighting. The courtiers were all watching, some were watching the show, some sighed, and some were gloating about their misfortune. The emperor was so quarreled by these two people that he didn't know what to do.
good.
However, in the end, the emperor basically accepted Kou Zhun's suggestion and did not move the capital for the time being. At the same time, he ordered Ding Wei to stay in Dingzhou as the recruiting envoy, and commanded his elite troops to immediately march north to counterattack the Liao army. He ordered Cao Qiang to stay in Bianjing as the deputy envoy to recruit.
Lead the elite troops under his command to immediately go north to support Dingwei, and all the imperial troops stationed on Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road will go north to support at the same time, and then order all the garrison officers on Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, and Hedong Road to be on strict guard and not to retreat even one step. Violators will be punished according to military law.
Just as the order was issued, bad news came again. Zhending Mansion, the most critical city on Hebei West Road, had been captured by the Liao army. The emperor and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were shocked by this news.
Soon after, Dingwei rushed to advance troops and was ambushed by the Liao army in Nangong County. Most of the 60,000 elite troops were lost. If the army led by Cao Qiang had not arrived in time, Dingwei's 60,000 elite troops would have been completely wiped out. The army and the Liao army
The army broke away and retreated to Jingcheng Town, which is more than 20 miles south of Nangong County. However, that night, a light cavalry of the Liao Army suddenly appeared behind Jingcheng Town, destroying the Song Army's important grain collection area in one fell swoop. The Song Army received
The news shocked everyone. At the same time, Xiao Duoli's army attacked head-on. The Song army was disorganized. Although there were 100,000 people, they could not resist it. Seeing that the army was in danger of overturning, at the critical moment, Cao Cao
Qiang personally commanded a strong force to resist the Liao army, and Ding Wei was able to take the opportunity to lead the army to retreat.
The army went all the way to the south and retreated to the starting point, Dingzhou. At this time, the Song army only had 60,000 soldiers and horses left. The two forbidden troops in Dingzhou and Zhending had a total of 120,000 people, but it only lasted half a month.
Time is lost in half.
The news of the defeat reached Tokyo, and the emperor and his ministers looked down upon each other. Kou Zhun also felt helpless at this time. Master Pang once again proposed to move the capital. Although Kou Zhun still strongly opposed it, the emperor was obviously moved.
The people in Tokyo are in panic, and many well-connected people have fled the capital, making the already uneasy atmosphere even more uneasy. The sky above Tokyo is filled with a precarious atmosphere. There are only 60,000 Liao troops, but they actually have millions
The imperial guards forced Song Ting to such an extent that people really didn’t know what to say!
Jingcheng Town is a small town on the north side of the Yellow River. As its name suggests, the scenery of this town is very beautiful. The bamboo mountains in the east stretch into the sea, and the grain fields in the west stretch as far as the eye can see. In the town, there are towering ancient trees and residential buildings, which makes it very comfortable.
Comfortable. However, today's Jingcheng Town has completely lost the beauty of the past.
There are countless bamboo sticks stuck on both sides of the official road at the entrance of the town, and each bamboo stick holds a ferocious bloody head; smoke is billowing in the town, many houses are still burning, and the streets and alleys are full of corpses, including those of old people and others.
The blood of men and children dyed the streets paved with bluestones into mottled dark red; the young woman's screams could be heard from time to time in the town, and a group of Liao soldiers were chasing a young woman in ragged clothes who looked extremely frightened.
, there was a roar of laughter, just like a group of jackals playing with a lamb.
Rumbling... the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the town. All the Liao soldiers turned their heads and looked outside the town, and saw a cavalry team of about two thousand people galloping quickly. A Liao soldier curiously said: "Whose is this?"
Cavalry?" A Liao soldier next to him said: "With such a fast speed and such momentum, they should be the general's guard. But isn't there only a few hundred people in the general's guard?"
While they were talking, the cavalry had already rushed into Zhendian like a whirlwind, swiping their swords at the Liao army. There were constant gunshots. These were the cavalry guns of Tianjing New City. The Liao army did not expect that they would be attacked.
, was so frightened that he lost all his soul and soul, and could only run away desperately. Two thousand war cavalry swept past with a roar, and most of the hundreds of Liao troops in the town were killed, and the remaining half were captured.
"Brother, the Liao army has been wiped out!" Yang Xiong came to Yang Peng and clasped his fists. At this time, there were shrill cries everywhere in the town, and the women who had been rescued knelt in front of the corpses of their relatives and mourned.
They cried loudly. Although Chen Xiao saved them, the result was far from good!
Yang Peng glanced at the miserable scene around him and frowned. Xue Fu galloped to Chen Xiao, clasped his fists and said, "Master, we captured about two hundred prisoners, how are we going to deal with them?" Yang Peng glanced at the people who were being escorted.
The nearly two hundred prisoners kneeling on the ground said coldly: "Behead them all!"
As soon as these words came out, the two hundred prisoners were shocked and begged for mercy. One of the Liao soldiers who looked like an officer shouted loudly: "General, I am a Han, not a Khitan! Spare your life!" Yang Peng said coldly:
"Then they deserve to die! Kill!" The two hundred prisoners were held down by the shoulders, and then chopped off with a broadsword. Two hundred heads rolled down, and blood splashed on the ground like paint. Yang Peng ordered: "Here
The people here left some dry food, and the whole army continued to march north!" More than two thousand war cavalry left some dry food and continued to gallop north.
After Xiao Duoli defeated the coalition forces of Ding Wei and Cao Qiang, he marched to the city of Zhending Prefecture and fought every day. The people in the city were panicked and the morale of the army was turbulent. If Cao Qiang hadn't worked tirelessly day and night to supervise and defend the city, Daming Prefecture would have fallen.
.At the same time, reinforcements from the surrounding states were delayed. It turned out that the prefects in each state were afraid of the Liao army. Although they received Dingwei's letter asking for reinforcements and the court's order to send troops, they sat still and watched the success or failure.
Xiao Duoli stood in the tent, looking at the map in front of him, with a rather arrogant attitude in his eyes. He felt that if His Majesty the Emperor could give him an additional 100,000 troops, he would be able to sweep the entire Central Plains in one go! The troops will walk in
In the tent, he clasped his fists at Xiao Duoli's back and said, "General!"
Xiao Duoli turned around and said to the generals: "The Song army can't retreat. If our army attacks by force, even if we capture it, we will suffer heavy losses. So I thought of a strategy. I want to give up attacking Daming Mansion and make a big move."
We will attack Tokyo to lure them out, then set up ambushes on the road to annihilate them, and then seize Daming Mansion in one go. As long as we capture Daming Mansion, the entire Central Plains will be at our fingertips!" All the generals became excited.
At this moment, a herald rushed into the tent anxiously and reported urgently: "General, it's bad, Yingzhou and Mozhou have been captured by the Song army!" Xiao Duoli and others were stunned for a while.
After reacting, Xiao Duoli shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Yingzhou and Mozhou be lost?" The herald quickly said: "The person who came to report the news is outside."
"Bring me in quickly!" the herald responded, ran out of the tent, and brought in two officers with bloodstains on their bodies. The two saluted Xiao Duoli and said, "I have seen the general!"
Xiao Duoli looked at the two of them, frowned and asked, "What are the identities of you two?" The officer on the left immediately clasped his fists and said, "Young man Yamcha is the captain of the Yingzhou garrison." The officer on the right said.
The big man also clasped his fists and said: "The villain Su Kun is the captain of the Mozhou garrison."
"Yamucha, Su Kun, do you think Yingzhou and Mozhou have been lost?" The two nodded. Xiao Duuli's eyes widened, "You two are clearly spies of the Song Army, trying to deceive our army with false military information.
Retreat! Come on, drag the two of them out and chop them down!" The two were startled. Four soldiers came in quickly, grabbed the two of them and dragged them outside. The two struggled and shouted urgently: "We
Not spies! We are not spies!"
Xiao Duli raised his voice and said: "Wait a minute." The soldiers stopped dragging the two of them, but still held them up. Xiao Duli walked up to the two of them and said with a cold face: "How could I say such ridiculous things?
Do you believe you are not spies?" Su Kun said anxiously: "The villain is not a spy. Everything the villain said is true. I dare to swear in the name of my ancestors. If I lie even half a word, I am willing to be thundered by the sky.
You can't kill me!" Seeing that he had sworn such a poisonous oath, Xiao Duoli couldn't help but become suspicious and said, "The Song army was defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses. Where can the army come to raid my Yingzhou and Mozhou?" Su Kun
He said hurriedly: "The banner the other party is flying is the commander-in-chief of Jingdong East Road!" Yamcha also said hurriedly: "It is the banner of the commander-in-chief of Jingdong East Road! Those Song Army soldiers are completely different from the Song Army soldiers we have seen before. They are extremely different.
Brave, our army was attacked by them before they could react, and the guard and deputy guard were shot through the throats by a handsome young general from the other side and died!"
Xiao Duoli was greatly shocked. Pioneer Zhao Chengfeng frowned and said: "I have heard of the commander-in-chief of Jingdong East Road." Xiao Duli immediately looked at him. Zhao Chengfeng continued: "The name of the commander-in-chief of Jingdong East Road is Yang Peng. Originally, the commander-in-chief of Jingdong East Road is named Yang Peng.
He was just a small city lord. Because of his contribution to the suppression of Xiao Tianyou, he was promoted to the prefect of Cangzhou and the governor of Jingdong East Road in less than a year. It is said that this man was both wise and courageous. He had a group of sworn brothers, all of whom were brave. Unexpectedly, all Song
When everyone was as silent as a cicada, this man dared to attack Yingzhou and Mozhou alone."
There was a look of disdain in Xiao Du, and he smiled coldly. After thinking for a moment, he gave the order: "Instruct the three armies to return north immediately and destroy this Song army in one go! Then attack Daming Mansion again!" The generals clasped their fists in agreement and were patrolling the city wall.
Cao Qiang suddenly saw that the Liao army outside the city had abandoned their camp and headed north, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Soon after, he received a letter from Yang Peng's people and learned that Yang Peng's Cangzhou army had attacked Yingzhou.
Zhou was greatly surprised. Only then did he understand why the Liao army suddenly retreated.
He hurried back to the left-behind government office in Beijing, met Ding Wei, showed Yang Peng's letter to Ding Wei, and then said anxiously: "Sir, General Yang attacked Yingzhou and Mozhou, and the Liao captives were forced to retreat. It was exactly
It’s a great time to fight back!”
Ding Wei was originally a civil servant and had already lost his courage after being beaten by the Liao army. He hesitated and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term! I am afraid that Yang Peng cannot withstand the Liao army's counterattack and is quickly defeated. At that time, the Liao army will turn around."
It would be dangerous to turn around and attack us with all your strength!" "Sir, this opportunity cannot be missed! Besides, if we don't send troops, it will be too dangerous for General Yang to fight alone!" "Then send someone to tell him not to show off.
It would be wise to retreat quickly and join forces with us to protect Daming Mansion together!"
"Sir!..." Ding Wei said impatiently: "I have already decided this matter, Sir Cao, don't be nagging me anymore!" Yuluo stood up and flung his sleeves away. Cao Qiang even called out urgently, but he ignored it.
Cao Qiang chased after him, but was stopped by two Yuhou men under Ding Wei.
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
