A general under the King of Chu rode out of the battle and shouted loudly: "All the officers and soldiers in the imperial camp called: "All of you and your children have been collected. Those who surrendered will be reunited with their relatives, and they will be promoted to three levels, and there will be a reward. If you don't surrender, the new emperor has a decree, and all the family members will come together. "The Khitan people have always been cruel and easy to kill. When they said "kill them together", it was by no means a threat. They really wanted to kill them all. Some officers and soldiers in the imperial camp had already recognized their relatives, "Father, mother, children, husband." , Wife! "The calls from the two formations echoed together.
The drums of the rebels sounded, and two thousand axemen strode out, their swords shining brightly in their humble hands. As soon as the drum beat stopped, two thousand swords were raised and aimed at the heads of the family members. The general shouted: "Surrender to the new emperor, and you will be rewarded heavily. If you don't surrender, all your family members will be killed together!" He waved to the left, and the drums started playing again.
The soldiers in the imperial camp knew that he waved his left hand again, the drum sound stopped, and the two thousand bright swords were blown down. These close soldiers have always been loyal to Yelu Longxu. The emperor's uncle and the King of Chu offered "promotions" and "heavy rewards" to them. It was difficult to seduce them, but now they saw their own parents and children waiting for prodding. How could they not be shocked?
The drums were rumbling continuously, and the hearts of the officers and soldiers in the imperial camp were beating rapidly. Suddenly, someone in the imperial camp shouted: "Mom, mom, you can't kill my mother!" He dropped his spear and ran towards an old woman in front of the enemy's formation.
A flurry of arrows shot out from the imperial camp, hitting the man's back. The man was not dead for a moment, but crawled towards his mother. I could hear the constant shouting of "father, mother, child", and hundreds of people in the imperial camp rushed out. Yelu Longxu's trusted general slashed with his sword, but how could he stop it? As soon as these hundreds of people rushed out, thousands followed. After thousands of people, there was a huge chaos. Among the 100,000 pro-troops, 60,000 to 70,000 people ran away.
Yelu Longxu let out a long sigh, knowing that the situation was over. He took advantage of the pro-army and family members to recognize each other, and the chaos separated the rebels from them. He immediately ordered: "Retreat to the Cangmang Mountain in the northwest." The Chinese general whispered. After giving the order, there were still more than 30,000 people who had not surrendered. The rear army turned into the front army and galloped northwest.
The King of Chu hurriedly ordered his cavalry to catch up, but the battlefield was crowded with old, weak, women and children, and the cavalry could not gallop. After they had to push the crowd away, Yelu Longxu had already led the imperial army far away. More than 80,000 soldiers rushed to the foot of Cangmang Mountain. It was already dusk. The soldiers were hungry and tired. They rushed to build camps on the slopes, condescendingly, as a defensive strategy. As soon as the camp was set up and no food was cooked, the king of Chu personally led his elite troops to the camp and immediately charged towards the hillside. The soldiers of the royal camp drove back the rebels with arrows like rain. Seeing that Yang Gong was disadvantageous, the Chu army immediately withdrew its troops and camped at the foot of the mountain.
That evening, Yelu Longxu stood by the cliff and looked south. He saw the campfires in the rebel camp were like stars, and three fire dragons were winding in the distance. However, it was the follow-up troops of the rebels who came to participate in the encirclement. Hong Ji felt sad. Just as he was about to enter the account, the privy envoy from the North Court came to report: "The 15,000 soldiers and horses under my command rushed down the mountain and surrendered to the rebels. I did not manage the army well and deserved death." Yelu Longxu waved his hand, shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, go down and rest!"
He turned around and saw Yang Peng looking into the distance, lost in thought, and said: "At dawn, the rebels will make great achievements, and we will all be prisoners. I am the king, and I cannot be humiliated by rebellion. I should kill myself to repay the country. Brother, You can rush out by yourself at night. You are very skilled in martial arts, and the rebels will not be able to stop you." At this point, he looked sad and said: "I wanted to give you great wealth, but I didn't know that as a brother, I can't protect myself. , but it makes you tired."
Yang Peng said: "Brother, a man is capable of bending and stretching. Today's battle is unfavorable. I will ensure that you retreat and recruit your old troops. Xu Tu will raise you again."
Longxu shook his head and said: "I can't even protect my mother and wife, so how can I be called a real man? In the eyes of the Khitan people, the winner is heroic and the loser is rebellious. How can I rise again after a complete defeat? Go on your own! Take it with you. My sister and aunt are leaving together?"
Yang Peng knew that what he said was the truth, and said with emotion: "In that case, I will accompany my brother and fight to the death with the rebels tomorrow. You and I are sworn brothers, Jinlan. Whether you are the emperor or a commoner, Jin Yongsan will treat you as yours." He's a sworn brother. If my brother is in trouble, a brother should live and die with you, so why should he run away on his own?"
Yelu Longxu burst into tears, held his hands and said, "Good brother, thank you very much."
Yang Peng returned to the tent and saw Han Bing curled up in a corner of the tent, with his big round eyes open, still awake. Han Bing said: "Yang Peng, do you blame me?" Yang Peng asked curiously: "Why do you blame me?" Han Bing said: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't decided to come to the prairie to play, I wouldn't be so tired that you were trapped. Here. Yang Peng, we are going to die here, aren’t we?”
The red light from the torch outside the tent reflected on her face, making her pale face blush, making her look even more petite and childish. Yang Pengzhong felt pity and said softly: "How could I blame you? It was me who decided to come to Liao this time, and this time has nothing to do with you at all, do you understand?"
Yang Peng stretched out his big hand and said: "You are young, but you suffer with me." Han Bing said: "Yang Peng, I didn't understand why my sisters like you so much, but I finally understood."
Yang Peng thought to himself: "The other sisters treat me with infinite affection. What does this little girl know? In fact, Yang Tong, why did Yang Jiumei fall in love with a rude man like me? Even I don't understand it. How can you know?" Thinking of this? He shook his head sadly.
Yang Peng pulled the felt up and covered it under her neck, folded it gently for her, unfolded the felt, and slept in the other corner of the tent. The fire outside the tent flickered on and off, but the faint cries were heard, and it was known that the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp were missing their families. Everyone knew that their lives would not be saved during this meeting, but everyone was loyal to the emperor and refused to betray.
Yang Peng came to the tent of Ye Qi Guanyin and Ye Qi Hanyu again. Ye Qi Guanyin said, "Brother, it's all my fault this time. It's caused you all to suffer like this. I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle would rebel. The emperor's uncle took advantage of it." We have to deal with Xiao Tianzuo this time, and he actually set such a big trap for me. I am not willing to accept it. You can take the gold and jade and leave later. We are Khitan people and we will die in the Liao Kingdom."
Ye Qi Hanyu was deep in thought and looked at Yang Peng with tears in his eyes. Yang Peng was confused and said in his heart, "You are almost dead and you still tease me like this. You are really a goblin. Hey, let's talk about it tomorrow. I can't do anything else." Men and women die for themselves.”
The next time, Yang Peng woke up early in the morning and asked the captain of the room to prepare the horses and take care of Han Bing. After finishing the preparations, he ate a pound of mutton, drank three pounds of wine, and walked to the edge of the mountain. At that time, it was still dark all around. After a while, the dawn began to appear in the east, and the horns in the imperial camp were blown, but the clanging sound of soldiers and swords could be heard. Teams of soldiers and horses were sent out from the camp to guard key points in various places. Xiao Feng looked down from a high position and saw the generals going out. He saw crowds of people on the east, south and southeast sides, all of them were rebels. A burst of white mist covered the distance, and the military formation had no end in sight.
In an instant, the sun showed an arc on the edge of the grassland. Thousands of golden rays of light shot into the white fog. The dense dew gradually disappeared, revealing that there were also military horses in the fog. Suddenly, drums sounded loudly, and two groups of yellow flag troops galloped into the enemy formation. Come out, follow the emperor's uncle and the king of Chu to ride to the foot of the mountain, raise the whip, and point to the mountain for discussion.
Yelu Longxu led his guards to stand on the edge of the mountain. Seeing this scene, he became angry. He took the bow and arrow from the guard, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the King of Chu. Looking down from the mountain, it seems that they are not far apart, but in fact they are only a few arrows apart. Before the arrow reached halfway, it fell to the ground with all its strength.
The King of Chu laughed loudly and shouted: "Longxu, you have usurped my father's position and been a hypocrite for many years, so you must give up the throne now. Surrender quickly, and my father will spare your life and show your kindness." How about naming you the emperor's great-nephew? Hahaha!" These words clearly mocked Hong Ji's hypocrisy in naming Yelu Chongyuan as the emperor's great-uncle.
Longxu was furious and cursed: "The shameless traitor is still using his words."
The privy envoy of the North Courtyard shouted: "The Lord has humiliated me to death! The Lord has treated us with great kindness like a mountain. Today is the time for me to repay the Lord." He led three thousand soldiers, shouted in unison, and rushed down from the mountain. . These three thousand people were all warriors from the Khitan tribe. They were determined to die this time, and they all counted one against ten. They shouted to charge and immediately pushed the enemy back for a few miles. However, the King of Chu ordered his flag to be waved, and tens of thousands of troops and horses surrounded them. Swords and spears were fired at the same time, and only the shouts shook the heaven and the earth, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The more the three thousand people fought, the fewer and fewer they were. By the end of the fight, all of them had died. The Privy Council of the North Courtyard used his strength to kill several people and committed suicide. Longxu and the generals The ministers and Yang Peng and others saw clearly on the mountain peak, but were unable to save them. They felt the loyalty of the envoy from the North Academy and all shed tears.
King Chu rushed to the mountainside again and said with a smile: "Longxu, do you surrender or not? What can you do with your little army and horses? These people under your command are all warriors of the Liao Dynasty, so why do you need them to accompany you to death? They are men. A man of the Han Dynasty, be quick and easy, surrender when you surrender, and fight when you fight. If you know that your strength is exhausted, it is better to kill yourself to thank the world, and avoid hurting the soldiers too much."
Yelu Longxu let out a long sigh with tears in his eyes, held his strength in his hand, and said: "I will give this beautiful country to your father. You are right, we uncles and nephews are fighting against each other, why bother to hurt Qi Danyong's life?" ." He raised the knife and strangled it on his neck.
Yang Peng stretched out his arm, snatched the knife away from him, and said: "Brother, you are a hero. You should die on the battlefield. How can you die by suicide?"
Longxu sighed: "Brother, these many soldiers have been following me for a long time. I am going to die anyway. I can't bear to have them all follow me and lose their lives."
The King of Chu shouted: "Longxu, if you don't kill yourself, when will you wait?" He pointed the whip directly in his face, extremely arrogant.
Seeing him getting closer and closer, Yang Peng had a thought in his mind and whispered: "Brother, you talk nonsense to him, I will quietly get closer and shoot him with an arrow."
Ye Qianlongxu knew what he had done and said happily: "This is very good. If I can shoot him to death first, I will die in peace." He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "King Chu, I treat your father and son well. You My father wants to be the emperor, so why should he kill so many soldiers and civilians in our country, causing great damage to the vitality of the Liao Kingdom?"
Yang Peng held a hard bow and a sword with sharp teeth and long arrows. He led a horse and slowly pulled it to the side of the mountain. He ducked and turned under the horse's belly. He hid under the horse and hooked his feet on the horse's back. , with a kick of the toe, the horse rushed forward. The rebels at the foot of the mountain saw an empty horse galloping down. There was no rider on the horse. They just thought that the horse broke the rein and ran away. This was a very common thing, and no one paid attention to it. But soon the rebel sergeant saw someone under the horse's belly and shouted.
Yang Peng kicked the horse with his toes and rushed towards the King of Chu. Seeing that he was about two hundred steps away, he drew his strong bow under the horse's belly and shot an arrow at him. The guards beside King Chu raised their shields and deflected the arrows. Yang Peng galloped on his horse and fired a series of arrows. One arrow shot down the guard, and the second arrow shot directly into the chest of King Chu.
The king of Chu had good eyesight and quickly swung his riding whip and struck upwards. This technique of whipping arrows was originally a skill that the King of Chu was good at, but he did not know that the person who shot this arrow was not only physically strong, but also had internal strength attached to the arrow. Although the whip hit the arrow shaft, it only deflected the feathers of the arrow. It tilted slightly and inserted into his left shoulder with a "por" sound. The King of Chu cried out "Ah!" and fell on the saddle in pain.
Yang Peng's feather arrow arrived again, this time closer. An arrow penetrated his left side and penetrated his chest. King Chu swayed and slipped off the horse.
Yang Peng succeeded in one fell swoop and thought: "Why don't I take the opportunity to shoot the emperor's uncle to death!"
The king of Chu was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. Everyone in the enemy formation shouted, and hundreds of feather arrows were shot at Yang Peng's horse. In an instant, the horse was hit by more than two hundred feather arrows and turned into a horse. A stabbing horse.
Yang Peng rolled several times underground and slipped under an officer's mount. He started using small and soft skills, and then got under the belly of one horse, then rolled under the other horse, then rolled under the other horse. The officers and soldiers could not fire arrows, so they stabbed with spears. But Yang Pengdong drilled and rolled west, all working under the horse's belly. The enemy's officers and soldiers were in chaos, thousands of horses, pushing each other to fight, trampling on each other, but how could they stab him?
What Yang Peng did slipped out from the grass like a snake without making any sound, and the speed was not slow. During the entire sneaking journey, he swam in the grass without knocking off the snow on the grass. I don't know how he did it. After all, it might be Qing Gong taught by the master, right? . Whether it is Jitang Fist, Jitang Sword, or Jitang Sword, they are all rolling and moving underground, waiting for the opportunity to attack the enemy's lower plate. At this time, he was in battle formation, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he avoided being trampled by thousands of horse hooves. Looking at where the emperor's uncle is, he rolls over and shoots three arrows at the emperor's uncle.
The emperor's uncle's guards were already prepared when they saw Chu Wu hit arrows. More than thirty people each raised their shields and densely blocked in front of the emperor's uncle. Only three clanks were heard, and three arrows hit the shields. When he came down, Yang Peng shot out seven of the ten arrows he carried, leaving only three. Seeing that the enemy had more than thirty shields covering each other, it was difficult for these three arrows to kill three guards, let alone the emperor's wife. Uncle. At this time, he was deep in the enemy's formation, with thousands of soldiers chasing behind him with spears drawn, and thousands of troops in front of him. He was in a desperate situation. That day, he fought alone against the heroes of the Central Plains. The opponent only had a few hundred people. It was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, someone rescued him and he was able to escape. Today, he is trapped in a siege of hundreds of thousands of people, but how can he escape?
At this moment, he was in a desperate situation, and suddenly he let out a loud roar, jumped up, and with a roar, leaped over the more than thirty shields, and landed in front of the emperor's uncle's horse. The emperor's uncle was taken aback and struck him in the face with his riding crop. Yang Peng jumped up, landed on the emperor's uncle's saddle, grabbed his back with his left hand, lifted him up high, and shouted: "Do you want to die or live? Tell everyone to put down their weapons!" The emperor's uncle was frightened. I was stunned and didn't hear a word he said.
At this time, the commotion among the rebels was even more deafening. Thousands of officers and soldiers bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Yang Peng, but the emperor's uncle was captured in his hands, and no one dared to act rashly.
Yang Peng moved his luck to Dantian and shouted: "The Emperor's uncle has an order. All the three armies should put down their weapons and listen to the imperial edict. The emperor is generous and pardons all officers and soldiers. Everyone will be held accountable." These words were heard by more than ten people. The noise of thousands of people could be heard for miles, so that only half of the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers in front and behind the mountain could hear clearly.
Yang Peng had experienced wars and had people betray him, and he understood the thoughts of rebels. After going through adversity, the most important thing was to find a way to avoid guilt. As long as Fang promised not to remember the old evil and would never pursue the case, the rebels' fighting spirit would naturally disappear. At this time, the rebels were powerful, and Yelu Longxu had only 70,000 to 80,000 troops around him. They were outnumbered, and they were definitely not treasonous enemies. The situation was urgent at that time, and he did not have time to ask Hong Ji for an order, so he said these few words to make the rebels Peace of mind.
These few words were heard loudly, and the noise of the rebels suddenly fell silent. You looked at me, I looked at you, everyone was confused and helpless. Yang Peng knew that the situation at this moment was dangerous. As long as someone among the rebels cried out dissatisfaction, hundreds of thousands of rebels like flies would immediately cause a huge change. The real film could not be delayed, and he shouted loudly: "The emperor has a decree: Among all the rebel officers and soldiers, No matter how big or small the official position is, everyone is innocent. The emperor is merciful and will never be held accountable. Officers and soldiers should return to their posts. Everyone put down your weapons quickly!"
In the silence, suddenly there was a cry! There were a few choking sounds, and several people threw down their spears. The sounds of throwing swords were mutually contagious, and in an instant, there was a loud roar. Half of the people dropped their swords, and the rest hesitated.
Yang Peng raised the emperor's uncle's body high with his left arm and slowly climbed up the mountain. No one among the rebels dared to stop him. His horse's head was everywhere and he made way for him. Yang Peng rode up to the mountainside. Two groups of soldiers from the imperial camp came down to greet him, and drums were played on the mountain peak.
Yang Peng said: "Uncle Emperor, please quickly order your subordinates to put down their weapons and surrender, and your life will be spared."
The emperor's uncle said in a trembling voice: "Will you promise to spare my life?" Yang Peng looked down the mountain and saw several rebels still holding bows, arrows and spears in their hands. The morale of the army was undecided and the danger was not over. He thought: "The first priority is to keep the morale of the army at bay now." The first priority is the emperor's uncle's life and death. It doesn't matter. We only need to send people to guard him strictly, so that he can never do evil again." He said: "Your eyes are the only good opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds. Your majesty knows that it is your son who is not responsible. Well, your life will definitely be spared."
The emperor's uncle had no intention of fighting for the throne, but it was because of his son King Chu's ambition that he was in trouble. At this time, he fell into the hands of others, but he wanted to avoid death, so he said: "Okay, I will follow your words!"
Yang Peng asked him to sit on the saddle and said loudly: "All the three armies, listen, the emperor's uncle has some instructions." The emperor's uncle said loudly: "The king of Chu provoked the trouble and has now revealed it. The emperor is generous and forgives everyone's sins. Everyone. People quickly put down their weapons and apologize to the emperor."
Since the emperor's uncle said this, the rebels were leaderless. Although there were ferocious and stubborn people, they no longer dared to resist. However, after hearing the sound of choking and clanging, all the rebels dropped their weapons.
Yang Peng escorted the emperor's uncle up to Cangmang Mountain. Yelu Longxu was overjoyed. As if in a dream, he rushed to Yang Peng, held his hands, and said: "Brother, brother, I will share this country with you from now on." He was so excited when he said this that he couldn't help but feel excited. Cry.
The emperor's uncle knelt on the ground and said, "The rebellious officials beg your Majesty for mercy." Yelu Longxu was in a very good mood at this time and said to Xiao Feng, "Brother, what do you think should be done now?" Yang Peng said, "The rebels are many and powerful. Everybody, we must stabilize the morale of the army and ask your Majesty to pardon the death penalty for the Emperor Taishu, so that everyone can rest assured."
Ye Qianlongxu smiled and said: "Very good, very good, everything depends on you, everything depends on you." He turned to the King of the North Courtyard and said: "You pass down the imperial edict and make Jin Yongsan the King of Chu, and the official residence is the King of the South Courtyard. The governor led the rebels and returned to Beijing." Ye Qi Guanyin and Ye Qi Hanyu did not expect that Yang Peng could turn the tide at this time, let alone that Yang Peng's martial arts was so good. Even Han Bing did not expect that Yang Peng's martial arts were so good. good. At this time, Yeqi Hanyu didn't care about his face and hugged Yang Peng. Yeqi Guanyin was also stunned beside him. Is this still his sister-in-law?
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
