Yang Peng also smiled and said: "Repay the victory to Master Kou!" Last time Master Kou was preparing for a decisive battle with Xiao Tianzuo in Dingzhou. Xiao Tianzuo saw that Kou Zhun was defending the city and did not want to suffer too many casualties.
, there is no such thing as Guan Yu’s beheaded Zhonglie who married Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun was standing on the wall of Cangzhou City that day, leaning on the railing and looking at the scenery of Cangzhou in the distance. The Grand Canal passed through the west of Cangzhou City. Although there were very few canals on the canal due to the Khitan army entering the city to plunder, there were rows of rows of boats on both sides of the canal.
The teahouses and inns can still make people feel the prosperity of Cangzhou in the past.
This time, the canal ancillary facilities outside the city were all saved. When the Khitan army passed through Cangzhou, they did not attack the Cangzhou cities where the army was gathered, but went directly across Cangzhou to Qingshan Pass. This also made Kou Zhun feel relieved.
Tone. Now the Song army does not dare to go out of the city to fight with the Khitan army, nor does it dare to support the city surrounded by the Khitan army. If the Khitan army and the Song army in Cangzhou are locked in a fight, Cangzhou will not be able to guarantee that all the forts in various prefectures and counties will not be lost. If
Cangzhou and Cao Yongli had an army of more than 100,000, but they still abandoned the city and abandoned the land. The furious officials might hold Kou Zhun and Cao Yongli responsible. The Khitan army directly crossed Cangzhou, which is the best result.
.
However, Yang Peng, a reckless man, volunteered to go to Qingshan Pass to intercept Xiao Tianzuo's army. The Song army's scouts were far inferior to the Khitan army in combat effectiveness, so they did not dare to rush to the front line to spy on intelligence. A few days ago, near Qingshan Pass,
Song army scouts came to report that there were still many slave riders near Qingshan Pass. Apparently the Khitan army had not left the border yet. Kou Zhun secretly said that the Khitan army was facing Yang Peng, and he was afraid that Yang Peng's 10,000 troops would be in trouble.
.
Kou Zhun was thinking there when he saw a primary school student running up in a panic. The primary school student rushed in front of Hong Chengchou, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sir! Good news, good news!" Kou Zhun was stunned.
After thinking for a while, I really couldn't imagine where the good news would come from at this time, so I asked: "Where is the good news?"
The junior high school officer raised his head and said loudly: "The good news about Yang Peng in Tianjing New City is that he captured and killed 21,000 Khitan soldiers. What a great victory, sir!" Kou Zhun waved his hand and put it down again. He was stunned for a long time.
After speaking, the junior high school officer continued: "Sir, Yang Peng said that the Khitan army has abandoned Qingshan Pass and headed west. They have been walking for two days."
Kou Zhun did not expect that Yang Peng could defeat Xiao Tianzuo at Qingshan Pass. Hearing the small school's report of victory, Kou Zhun took a long time to react. Yang Peng brought 10,000 troops to Qingshan Pass to block the Khitan army's way out. This is a fact. Now the Khitan army
The army abandoned Qingshan Pass and headed west. It is obvious that Yang Peng really defeated the Khitan army. Even if the figure of 21,000 heads includes some killing good people and taking credit, most of them will be true. If the Khitan army did not suffer heavy losses,
Why would they give up the existing exit and go west?
Yang Peng's soldiers and horses are incredibly strong. Yang Peng is favored by the officials now because he can fight. This time the Khitan army entered the pass, hundreds of thousands of Song troops cowardly avoided the battle, but Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were huge
Killed all directions and defeated the Khitan army several times. The officials now trust Yang Peng very much, and even got angry at Li Te, known as Prime Minister Li, because of Yang Peng's words. Now that Yang Peng has won another victory, the officials want to punish Yang Peng
How much does Peng take it seriously?
In the current officialdom of the Song Dynasty, no one should offend Yang Peng. Kou Zhun immediately walked down the city wall and led his soldiers to the Bingbei Mansion on Cangzhou Middle Road where Shi Pingzhang was temporarily staying. When he arrived at the Bingbei Mansion, Kou Zhun directly
Walking into the courtyard, I found Ishihara Tora chatting with Hebei in the second hall.
"Shi Pinghu, Yang Peng won the battle!" Shi Pinghu was surprised when he heard Kou Zhun's words and jumped up from his chair. He looked at Kou Zhun in surprise and asked: "Yang Peng won the battle?
How did you win?"
Kou Zhun did not laugh at Shi Pinghu because of his gaffe. His appearance when he got the news was not much better. Kou Zhun waved his sleeves and sat on the chair and said: "I don't know how to win. But Yang Peng reported
Come up and tell me to behead 21,000 people!"
Shi Pinghu looked at Hong Chengchou in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. Twenty-one thousand Tatar heads? That was a rare feat of the dynasty! It was comparable to the great victory in Tianjing New City a few months ago! Ten thousand people relied on one
The temporary stronghold defeated 70,000 Khitan troops and beheaded more than 20,000 people? Is this Yang Peng still a Song army? How could he achieve such an incredible victory?
Shi Pinghu thought of his solemn words when Yang Peng asked for orders to send troops, and his face became a little embarrassed. The Song Dynasty really only had one property, and Shi Pinghu could only cling to it like a little daughter-in-law, but Yang Peng could
Relying on this possession, he swept across all directions and beat the Khitan dogs until they were howling like ghosts! Shi Pinghu regretted not going to Qingshan Pass with Yang Peng. If he had believed in Yang Peng at that time and brought one to twenty thousand troops to help, then now he
He had already made great achievements. Thinking of this, Shi Pinghu slapped the table with some annoyance, his handsome face full of regret.
"If you had gone with him then, what would you do now?" Kou Zhun also patted the table and seemed to regret it. However, he quickly gave up this idea and said: "Fat Tiger, prepare your horse quickly and follow me.
Go to Qingshan Pass to reward Yang Peng's army and examine Yang Peng's head." Shi Pinghu nodded and said: "Okay, I will go with you!"
Li Te was sitting in the lobby of the governor of Cangzhou, discussing military affairs with the generals. Chadenbei was also sitting at the top of the lobby, second only to Li Te. However, Chadenbei belonged to Qingliu and was attached to Li Te.
He was a bit out of place. In addition, now that Wang Qin had lost the trust of the officials and was about to fall, Cha Dengbei even ignored Li Te, and was a little arrogant in everything he said and did.
Li Te saw Chaden Bei's attitude and was furious, but he didn't dare to express it. Ever since Yang Peng defeated Wang Qin with one sentence, Li Te had been keeping his tail between his legs. Not to mention Cha Denbei.
Such a governor would not dare to offend even his subordinate Li Te, and he would never dare to use force against these generals in his words and deeds.
But there is good news, that is, Yang Peng was surrounded by Xiao Tianzuo at Qingshan Pass. Xiao Tianzuo's 70,000 troops surrounded Yang Peng and 10,000 people for half a month. Those were 70,000 Khitan soldiers. That crazy
What can disciple Yang Peng do to stop him? It will probably not be long before Xiao Tianzuo captures Yang Peng's camp. Every time Li Te thinks about this, he is full of confidence in the future.
As long as Yang Peng dies, what will the Song Dynasty do to fight the Khitan army? Will the main war faction disappear immediately? Will the housekeeper re-activate Wang Qin who advocates peace talks? Once Wang Qin gains power, the foreign ministers who follow Wang Qin will still
It's not about chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Li Te and the Minister of War will not be able to escape by then. That Yang Peng is really a madman. He actually wants to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to block 70,000 Khitans. The combat power of the Khitan soldiers is unmatched by the Song army.
?Even if Yang Peng was lucky enough to win a few games against the Khitan, it was impossible to win the battle with ten thousand against seventy thousand. At this time, Yang Peng had been besieged by the Khitan army for half a month and was fighting hard every day. He should regret his decision.
Are you ignorant and fearless? It won't be long before Kou Zhun goes to collect Yang Peng's body.
Thinking of this, Li Te glanced at Zha Dengbei and thought to himself, although you are scornful of me now, when I am promoted to Minister of War, I will see how you will curry favor with me! The generals in the lobby are still discussing the Khitan army's soldiers around the map.
The horses were deployed. The Song army's scouts did not dare to approach the Khitan army. With the limited information, these generals could not come up with any clues and were chattering there. Li Te looked at Qingshan Pass on the map and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a soldier ran in from outside the lobby, knelt down in front of Li Te and shouted: "Sir! Doctor Jin Ziguanglu? Master Kou has sent someone to deliver a message!" Li Te opened his eyes and said lightly: "Let him come in.
"A Song Army junior high school student wearing scale armor came in with two supervising battalion pacesetters, prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly: "Sir, my doctor Jin Ziguanglu and Mr. Kou asked me to deliver a message."
Li Tong nodded and said, "You say it!" The junior high school officer said loudly: "News came from the front line. Yang Peng of Tianjing New City defeated Khitan Xiao Tianzuo at Qingshan Pass and captured 20,000 Khitan and Xi tribe Khitan heads.
One thousand! After the Khitan army was defeated, they had abandoned Qingshan Pass and fled to the west!"
Hearing this, the hall was quiet for a few seconds, and then exploded with a bang. The generals were stunned by this shocking news, and then they started discussing enthusiastically. Yang Peng won the battle. And he also beheaded 20,000 people.
one thousand?
This is a great victory comparable to the Tianjing New City Battle, and this time the opponent is 70,000 Khitan troops! Why is this Yang Peng getting more and more amazing? Is this Yang Peng going to fight against the Khitan with one person? The generals were chattering.
, everyone regretted it very much. If he had taken the initiative to ask Yang Peng to go to Qingshankou, he would have made great achievements and be promoted.
Shi Pingzhang stood on the west side of the lobby, his face a little red because of excitement. Yang Peng won the battle! And he helped Yang Peng guard Tianjing New City. Yang Peng said he owed Shi Pingzhang a favor, and this favor is getting stronger now.
It's so precious. As long as Yang Peng says a few nice words in front of the housekeeper, wouldn't the best position and even a promotion be within reach?
Shi Pingzhang looked at the generals around him proudly, looking complacent. When Li Te heard the news, all his strength seemed to be drained out of him, and he collapsed on the chair, unable to speak for a long time.
. Yang Peng was so capable of fighting that the Khitan army fled. The situation was very good for the Song Dynasty. Wang Qin, who had advocated peace before, was afraid that he would be hated by the officials! By then, the foreign ministers who followed Wang Qin, like himself,
There is no good fruit to eat.
When Zha Denbei saw Li Te stretched out on a chair, he said very harshly: "Why do you look like this, sir? This is a great victory!" Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu rushed to Qingshan Pass with pigs, sheep, livestock, food, rice and wine.
When people entered Yang Peng's camp and saw the trenches and wooden thorns in front of the camp, they were secretly shocked and lamented how tight Yang Peng's defense was.
Yang Peng did not go to the camp gate to greet Kou Zhun, nor did he even stand at the door of the Chinese army's tent. Yang Peng stood inside the Chinese army's tent to greet Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu. This was to greet officials of the same rank.
posture.
A Yang Bamei brought Kou and Shi to the Chinese army's tent. Yang Peng rushed to the two of them and said, "Thank you for your hard work." The military attachés under Yang Peng's tent standing on both sides followed suit, and they were all handlers.
An arch was considered a salute. Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu could only endure Yang Peng's slight. Yang Peng was a general who had just won a great victory. He would definitely be promoted after reporting his merits this time. There are
The trust of the officials rose step by step, and there were strong troops outside to kill all directions. As a military attaché, Yang Peng was nominally under the control of Kou Zhun, but in fact his status was on the same level as Kou Zhun, or even slightly higher. It is not an exaggeration at all.
.Because it depends on Yang Peng’s mood.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find officials from the Song Dynasty who dare to lose their temper with Yang Peng over etiquette issues. Kou Zhun ignored Yang Peng's "rudeness", stepped forward and grabbed Yang Peng's arm affectionately, and said: "The city lord has won again.
?" Yang Peng nodded and said: "I guarded the stronghold and defeated Xiao Tian's Zuojun who attacked the stronghold. I captured and beheaded 24,000 people. However, 3,000 of them were Goryeo, and the Han people followed.
If there is any suspicion of killing good people and taking merit, it will not be regarded as military merit. The remaining 21,000 heads are all Khitan and Xi tribe Khitan."
Hearing Yang Peng's words, Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu were startled again, and looked at each other in surprise. According to Yang Peng, this battle merit was not only 21,000 levels, but 24,000 levels! It was because they were worried about the Han people.
The Korean and Korean followers could not pass the head test, so they reported 21,000-level military exploits. In fact, in recent years, there have been more and more Han and Korean followers in the Khitan army, and these followers also have many
It is lower than the combat effectiveness of the Song Army. Yang Peng was able to capture and kill more than 3,000 men, and Gao followed the soldiers. It was originally a meritorious service, but this credit was difficult to prove. In order not to be criticized by others, Yang Peng simply refused to report it.
This part is a first-level battle achievement.
Yang Peng's troops and horses are really powerful. This contribution is really magnificent. Kou Zhun and Yang Peng chatted for a while, then pretended to suddenly remember and said: "Where is the head that the city lord captured?
I'll go check it out!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I'll take the adults to check it out!"
Yang Peng led Kou Zhun to the middle of the camp, walked to two piles of Tatar heads as high as a hill, and said: "The Khitan heads are 15,300, and the Khitan heads of the Xi tribe are 5,800!
"
Seeing the two piles of Tatar heads, Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu looked at each other and took a breath. Those Khitan heads seemed real at first glance. Their troops were guarding Cangzhou.
, his expression changed when he heard the Khitan alarm, and he became nervous when he saw hundreds of Khitan rangers. When had he seen so many Khitan heads? If these 21,000 Tatars were gathered together, what a powerful force they would be.
?I am afraid that tens of thousands of Song troops cannot withstand it. Now these Khitan soldiers have all been beheaded by Yang Peng and have become ghosts under the sword.
This Yang Peng is truly a hero from a young age. Kou Zhun shook his head with some emotion, and with a wave of his hand, twenty staff members came up. Those staff members and Yang Peng's soldiers asked for water from basins and wells, and began to examine the heads.
While his staff was looking at the leader's head, Shi Pinghu took a step forward and asked curiously: "The city lord's soldiers and horses are so powerful, but I don't know how he trained them?"
Shi Pinghu had already seen Yang Peng's trenches and wooden thorns outside the camp, and knew that Yang Peng relied on these things to defend the Khitans, but he was still interested in Yang Peng's soldiers and horses. After all, Yang Peng defended 70,000 Khitan troops.
Like other Song armies, they would never be able to defend themselves with a temporary camp, let alone capture and behead so many Khitan soldiers.
Hearing Shi Pinghu's question, Kou Zhun turned around curiously and listened to Yang Peng's answer. Yang Peng thought for a while and said: "My soldiers and horses use fire blunderbuss and strong crossbows to form an army. My fire blunderbuss seven
You can kill someone in ten steps."
Shi Pinghu nodded. The Song Dynasty's army was not equipped with all kinds of fire guns, and they were all ordinary things. The well-made bird gun can break armor at seventy steps. Yang Peng's fire gun can be used at seventy steps.
It is not uncommon to kill someone. Yang Peng added: "In order to improve the hit rate of the fire gun soldiers, my fire gun soldiers shoot ten times a day. A fire gun soldier costs fifteen taels, and one soldier can shoot in three months."
A broken firecracker. I hired a large number of blacksmiths to make new firecrackers day and night. Because of this, my soldiers can fire flawlessly on the battlefield." After a pause, Yang Peng said again: "Those powerful crossbows
,is also like this."
After listening to Yang Peng's words, Shi Pinghu stroked his long beard with emotion.
Yang Peng's soldiers and horses are made of money! After three months of training, a gun can be broken. This is a unique training intensity. Every month, the fire gun that is reimbursed for training costs several taels of silver. Compare
It turned out that the powerful crossbows equipped by the Song Dynasty army and horses were easy to explode, and the soldiers did not dare to operate them at all. Every time they fired, they were determined to die. Where was the training? They could not shoot them once or twice a month.
Can all of Yang Peng's fire blunderbuss not explode? If you want the craftsmen to work hard to make qualified bird blunderbuss, you must not be greedy for money for craftsmen and materials, and you have to pay enough! With such intensity of training, what kind of soldiers can do it?
How high is the hit rate on the battlefield? The Khitan rushed up, and thousands of muskets were fired here. I was afraid that the Khitan soldiers would be in chaos all of a sudden.
No wonder Yang Peng's troops are so powerful. Speaking of which, they were all bought with a lot of money. I heard that Yang Peng used private property to support his army. Not only did he not covet the imperial court's military pay, but he also spent a huge amount of money from his own pocket to serve the imperial court.
, this loyalty is unique in the Song Dynasty. This powerful army cannot be copied, and it is also unique in the Song Dynasty. After hearing Yang Peng's words, Kou Zhun and Shi Pinghu stroked their beards, thoughtfully.
The two of them chatted with Yang Peng, and a few hours passed before they knew it. Before dinner, the results of the head examination came out. Twenty-one thousand one hundred and seventy-nine heads were all true. Listen.
Kou Zhun's eyes lit up when he saw this result. He was Yang Peng's superior in name. He was the mastermind behind Yang Peng's contribution. When the victory report reached the official's house, his reward was naturally indispensable. Not to mention anything else.
, let’s just say that the trust of officials in me will probably increase a lot.
Kou Zhun's face was glowing with high spirits, and he was about to say goodbye to Yang Peng. Yang Peng said: "I have ordered people to prepare food and wine, don't you stay in the stronghold to eat?" Kou Zhun got on his horse, clasped his fists and said, "I won't bother you anymore, City Lord, I will
Hurry back and write a good report!"
After saying this, Kou Zhun anxiously flicked his whip and rushed out with his soldiers. Seeing Kou Zhun's anxious look, Shi Pinghu laughed loudly, clasped his fists and raised his hand to Yang Peng, and chased after him. Now this
The situation is really worrying. The dawn that ushered in after the victory in Tianjing New City was completely wiped out because of Yang Peng's recklessness.
A month ago, the Khitan army withdrew from the heavy siege of Dingzhou and retreated to Qingshan Pass. The 70,000 Khitan army escorted more than 100,000 people and countless looted money, food and silk, and moved very slowly. But even so,
Along the way, no one of the Song Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops dared to go up and invite a fight. Kou Zhun and Li Te were very "cautious" and guarded the fortress in Cangzhou, only watching the Khitan army go to Qingshan Pass in peace.
At this juncture, Yang Peng suddenly jumped out and led a lone army to block the Khitan army at Qingshan Pass. No other Song army went with Yang Peng. Zhao Heng knew that this was the Song army's cowardice. However, Zhao Heng
This time, he was not happy that Yang Peng dared to fight. Although Zhao Heng had never been on the battlefield and was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew that these 10,000 Yang Peng troops were no match for the 70,000 Khitan army. If the Khitan soldiers surrounded and attacked, Yang Peng would
How could Peng withstand it?
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles, and the Song army did not dare to fight against the Khitan army. The Song Dynasty was left with only Yang Peng, a unique and powerful army. The second victory in Tianjing New City captured more than 20,000 Khitan soldiers, which was regarded as a show of force for the Khitan.
The army's plan was a heavy blow, so that they would have to think carefully when they wanted to enter the pass to rob in the future. However, this Yang Peng was so reckless that he used 10,000 people to fight 70,000 people? What if Yang Peng's troops were destroyed?
, the Song army will once again have no troops to fight, and the Khitan army can only watch on the sidelines as they plunder.
This time the Khitan army entered the pass, captured seven counties, killed countless people, plundered more than 100,000 people, more than 100,000 livestock, and lost money, food and materials. Forget it all, the Song army did not dare to fight, there was no other way. If it happens again
If Yang Peng's troops and horses were also trapped at Qingshan Pass, our Song Dynasty would suffer heavy losses.
It has been more than half a month since the 70,000 Khitan army entered Qingshan Pass. The Khitan cavalry blocked the entrance. Zhao Heng had no news about the battle in the valley. He was getting more and more anxious these days. But now Yang Peng came with a
Thousands of people rushed to Qingshan Pass recklessly. If Yang Peng was defeated, the Song Dynasty would no longer have troops capable of fighting. Zhao Heng could only rely on Yang Yanzhao to send people back to the old path of seeking peace with the Khitan.
But seeking peace with the Khitan also faced many obstacles. Not only was Empress Dowager Xiao's attitude ambiguous, but all officials in the Song Dynasty were also firmly opposed to it, making the matter almost impossible to put on the table. Not only that, Huangyakou was captured by the Khitan army a few days ago.
The Khitan bribed spies and cooperated inside and outside to break through this pass. What does this mean? The Khitan will send more troops to the capital of the Song Dynasty? Will it plunder more prefectures and counties? Could it be that Yang Peng has been killed by Xiao Tianzuo, and the Khitan
The army is no longer afraid and is not in a hurry to leave?
He lowered his head and did not see Zhao Heng standing at the door of Qianqing Palace. Zhao Heng stepped aside and Wang Jin ran into Qianqing Palace, grabbed the memorial and ran to the study.
Zhao Heng coughed and shouted: "Wang Jin!" Wang Jin had already rushed into the study room with one foot. Only then did he hear the official's cry. He turned around and looked at the official in surprise. But when he saw the official, he also
There was no time for embarrassment, but he immediately raised the memorial in his hand and said loudly while panting: "The great victory of the Holy One is another great victory!"
Zhao Heng was stunned and asked: "Where did the great victory come from?" Wang Jin gasped and said, "Yang Peng's great victory!" Zhao Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was a little uncomfortable.
I dare to believe it. Yang Peng's great victory. Did Yang Peng defeat Xiao Tianzuo? Impossible? Ten thousand people can defeat 70,000 Khitan troops? The other 10,000 Song troops cannot even defeat three thousand Khitan troops. Yang Peng can defeat the mighty
Seventy thousand Khitan troops?
And it's not a victory, it's a great victory. How many levels must be gained to be called a great victory? However, on the memorial, Kou Zhun clearly wrote in black and white: After a great battle, Yang Peng captured and killed 21,000 Tatar levels. Xiao Tianzuo Da
After his defeat, he had already fled to the west! Kou Zhun had led people to verify that the weapons captured by Yang Peng were all the heads of the real Khitans!
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
