The anger in Yang Dezheng's chest was suppressed by Yang Qi. Yang Qi, who was afraid that Yang Dezheng would make a desperate move, did not even dare to ask Dezheng in detail about his alliance with the party members. Yang Qi said to Yang Dezheng, Yang Gui and Yang Xin, "Just give me three more days, okay? Do you trust me as an aunt?" Yang Dezheng looked at Yang Qi in confusion, not understanding why Yang Qi said this. . After all, these people are teenagers, and the psychological pressure they bear is about to make them collapse. Yang Qi said, "In just three days, Yang Peng has started to take action."
Fan Long and Zhou Dayong, who were regarded as saviors by Yang Qi, were attacking a big city with 30,000 people. When Brother Yelvxiu sent troops to Fuxingguan, he mobilized some soldiers and horses from this big city. More than twenty days ago, Brother Yelvxiu mobilized the last soldiers and horses from this big city. This big city was Dading, the capital of the Liao Kingdom.
There were five capitals in the Liao Kingdom, namely Datong in Xijing, Dading in Zhongjing, Youzhou in Nanjing, Tokyo, and Shangjing. The closest ones to Shengzhou are Datong, Xijing and Dading, Zhongjing. According to the original strategy, after Fan Long and Zhou Dayong bypassed the mountains of Shengzhou from Yunnei Prefecture, they should have made a sneak attack on Datong, Xijing. However, after entering the Liao Kingdom.
Zhou Dayong changed his strategy. Because Brother Yelvxiu fought at Fuxing Pass, the road from Fuxing Pass to Xijing Datong was heavily guarded by the Liao army. Once they attack Datong, Xijing, they are likely to be forced into Liao Kingdom by Brother Yelvxiu.
After careful consideration, Zhou Dayong decisively attacked Zhongjing Dading. Because Zhongjing was at Dading, in the heart of the Liao Kingdom. The soldiers and horses in the city have been mobilized by Brother Yelvxiu. And compared to the other four cities, Zhongjing Dading has the lowest city wall and the weakest defense. After deciding to attack Zhongjing Dading.
Fan Long took his troops and killed all the Liao people who could expose them along the way. At the same time, he put away his armor, pretended to be a nomadic tribe, and approached Dading, Zhongjing step by step. After arriving at Dading, Zhongjing, it was determined that Zhongjing Dading was empty of troops. Zhou Dayong decisively led his troops to attack Dading, Zhongjing.
Outside Dading City. The 30,000 Rangers of the Fourth Division have transformed into infantry and are attacking the city. With the cooperation of spies who had sneaked in in advance, it took only one day for Zhongjing Dading, which was depleted of troops, to be breached by Zhou Dayong. The moment when the 4th Division Rangers broke through Zhongjing Dading.
Zhou Dayong's soldiers ran over excitedly, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Dayong, and said excitedly: "General, the city of Dading has been destroyed, let's..." Zhou Dayong said coldly: "After entering the city, the Liao Kingdom Killed all the dignitaries. They robbed money, horses, cattle and sheep. The food was distributed to the Liao Han people in the city, and they were given weapons. After they robbed them, they set fire to the city. Only tonight can I rob them. As much as you want, grab as much as you want."
Zhou Dayong's 30,000 Fourth Division Rangers were all those who had captured Yingzhou and Baozhou before. They are already familiar with robbing things. Although the stolen money is often taken away, they enjoy the process of robbery. I have to say that this group of party members recruited by Xingxing are really cute. When I woke up and suffered, I didn't say a word.
After grabbing the money, Aunt Xiang asked her to hand it over, so she handed it all over, with very few hiding anything. Even though he can't get any money, he still likes to rob. It seems that in their minds, helping the boss grab things is the right thing to do. Fan Long seemed to be aware of this. He felt that this group of people would have to live under Yang Dezheng's rule in the future without any money. So when his soldiers left, he added.
"You can keep 20% of the things you grabbed after you bring them back to Shengzhou." His soldiers stayed there for a full quarter of an hour before asking in disbelief: "The big-headed man is willing to reward us?" Fan Long was determined. The nodded. The soldiers suddenly jumped three feet high and were so happy that they couldn't find their way around.
He quickly jumped on his horse, ready to tell all the brothers the good news. When he passed this order to all the brothers, all the 4th Division Rangers were excited. Even those soldiers from Shengzhou who joined the 4th Division Rangers.
Then, this group of excited bandits rushed into Dading, Zhongjing. Zhou Dayong said it was one night, so it was one night. When the sun rises on the second day. A fire broke out in Dading, Zhongjing. After Zhou Dayong just glanced at the swarm of 4th Division Rangers running out of Zhongjing Dading, he knew that there would never be another Zhongjing Dading.
Good guy! A group of bandit soldiers who were allowed to let go of their natural instincts and robbed everything. Among them were Fan Long's soldiers. In addition to two large bags of gold and silver, there were also two girls who had been knocked unconscious on their horses. This guy came to Fan Long in a thief manner and whispered: "General, after I rushed in, I snatched the two most beautiful girls. I heard that they were the concubines raised by Brother Yelvxiu in Dading and were sent to her at night. Let me warm you up in your tent."
Fan Long glanced at the two stunned girls wearing colorful clothes on his horse, shook his head, smiled, and glared at him. The soldiers have followed Fan Long for a long time and understand Fan Long's temper. He was not afraid when he saw Fan Long glaring at him. He asked cunningly: "General, where should we go next? Go back?"
Fan Long clicked his lips, rolled his eyes and said: "I will definitely go back. But I can't go back the way we came. When we came out, General Eighth Sister said that if we go back the way we came, we would be courting death.
So we have to avoid Brother Yelvxiu. And I am not going to take the retreat route given by General Eighth Sister. The soldier was stunned and said, "Then where are we going?" Fan Long swung his riding crop and said loudly: "Go and sew more animal skin bags, and let's go and rob Xijing next." The Liao people never imagined that we would rob Xijing. "
"Xijing? Doesn't that mean it has been announced?" The soldier was overjoyed and immediately went to tell the other brothers the good news. Fan Long is an expert and bold, but they, the Rangers of the Fourth Division, are stupid and bold. Zhou Dayong is cooperating with Sister Yang's actions this time.
Hit whoever the boss says to hit. This kind of thinking has been instilled in their heads from the moment they were born. As for whether they would die, they never thought about it. If you die, just burn it. For a Dangxiang man, dying in battle is the highest honor.
From the moment they are born, they are born to fight. Fan Long led his troops to Dingding in Zhongjing, burned, killed and looted, and then left. After they left, a group of Han people from the Liao region poured out of Dading, Zhongjing. They held the swords issued to them by the 4th Division Rangers tremblingly, with blank expressions on their faces.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Suddenly no one was riding on their heads, and no one was caring about them. They were really at a loss. The black-faced man at the head said in a low voice: "All the Liao people in Dading City are dead, and we can only keep them for burial. Everyone on the left and right is dead, so why don't we take our wives and children to have a try.
When I was serving a nobleman in the city, I heard him say that on the southwest coast, there are ships coming from Tianjing New City to buy people like us. We heard that Tianjing New Town and Youzhou were short of people, so we went there and not only gave them clothes and houses to live in, but also allotment of land. And when the dolls get there, there are books to read..."
"Do all the dolls really have books to read? Is it a lie?" "It's true... This is the law of our Tianjing New City. The monarch carved it on a stone tablet and erected it in the capital of Tianjing New City. , all common people can go and see it.”
One sentence caught everyone's attention. Everyone looked at the cleanly dressed guy with a dry smile on his face. "Who are you?" someone asked. This guy smiled bitterly and said: "I am not talented, but I am a citizen of Tianjing New City. The territory of Tianjing New City is vast and sparsely populated, so I am short of people. I followed the caravan to the Liao Kingdom, just to get some Han people from the Liao area to come over.
As long as I can bring you there, my business in Tianjing New City will be exempted from certain taxes. This is the first time I have done this kind of thing. I didn’t expect...to encounter this kind of thing..." Some people doubted: "The emperor of Tianjing New City is really that good, can't he be a liar? "
When mentioning the emperor of Tianjing New City, this guy's face immediately darkened, and he reprimanded: "I, Tianjing New City, have no emperor as a city lord. I am the most merciful and best city lord in the world. Under his governance, everyone in Tianjing New City There is food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and the children have to study.
Moreover, it is still compulsory for the children to read. As long as you are citizens of Tianjing New City, if you don't let your baby study, the government will take action. The guy got angrier as he talked, "You can say I'm inferior, but you can't say anything about me, the City Lord of Tianjing New City." He is the most merciful city lord I have ever seen. I wish that his empire could last ten thousand years. In this case, my children and grandchildren will all enjoy happiness. "
The leader of the black-faced man asked in a deep voice: "Why does the Lord of Tianjing New City treat us so well?" The guy scratched his head, grimaced, and racked his brains and said: "I don't know the specifics. It is very clear. Some people say that the city lord is a Han who escaped from Liao, so he sympathizes with the suffering of the people here. But some people say that your majesty is accumulating merit. If you accumulate enough merit, you can live forever...
Anyway, there are different opinions, and I don’t know. In short, the city lord treats you Han people of Liao very well. Not only was the family given a hundred acres of land, but they were also exempted from taxes for three years, and they were also given cattle and farm tools. Everything I say below is true. You can follow me to Tianjing New City and see with your own eyes. If it's not true, you can kill me.
If it's true..." The leading black-faced man frowned and said, "If it's true, so what? The guy smiled thiefly and said, "If this is true, when the officials who register you ask, you can just say that I will take you there." "The leader of the black-faced man said sternly: "If what you said is true, don't ask us to bring you a message, even if you ask me to act like a cow, I will not hesitate. "
This guy waved his hands repeatedly and said with a dry smile: "That's not okay. Our Tianjing New City has strict laws and does not allow Han slaves." Although this guy's ability to deceive people is not very good. But say it sincerely. These Han people in the Liao region believed it. They headed southwest.
Along the way, he met many Han people from Liao Dynasty who were liberated by Fan Long. By the time they arrived at the southwest border, hundreds of thousands of people had gathered. When Wang Mingcheng saw these people, he was shocked. This is all for later.
Zhongjing Dading was destroyed. The Liao nobles inside, including some branches of the Yelu royal family and the descendants of the Xiao family, were wiped out. It completely alarmed the entire Liao Kingdom.
Yang Dezheng stood on the top of the city and shouted loudly: "The generals of the Yang family, the infantry of the Fuxing army, and the officers and soldiers of the Jin army, all listen to me. From now on, no one is allowed to board the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished." Kill them all." At the critical moment, Yang Dezheng no longer showed mercy and began to attack his own people.
Yang Dezheng is a person who would never do anything to his own people unless absolutely necessary. Now it is purely helpless to order the execution of soldiers who violate military orders. After Yang Dezheng's order was conveyed. Immediately on the top of the city, hundreds of soldiers violated the ban and were beheaded by the military supervisors.
Under this high-pressure policy, Yang Dezheng's military orders were fully implemented. Therefore, the soldiers at the critical moment of recovery stabilized their formation. However, even after they stabilized their formation, they had no chance of winning when facing the 200,000 Liao troops outside the city. Yang Gui said solemnly: "Da Lang, take the people to withdraw. Fuxing Gate can no longer be defended."
What Yang Gui said was not depressing words, but the truth. Anyone with some battlefield experience knows that this battle cannot be won at Fuxing Pass no matter what. They had to admit that Brother Yelvxiu was a good manipulator of people's hearts. He has already played with the hearts of the soldiers who have been shut down by Fuxing.
Even Yang Dezheng couldn't win back the hearts of the soldiers on the city from Brother Yelvxiu. Most of the soldiers on the city were going into battle to kill the enemy for the first time. The human heart is complex. Yang Dezheng can give the soldiers the best weapons, let them eat the best meals, and build a strong barrier to protect them. But Yang Dezheng was unable to help them hone an indestructible heart in a short period of time.
Even Yang Dezheng doesn't have an indestructible heart, let alone the soldiers on the city wall? After all, Yang Dezheng is a human being, not a god. Two hundred thousand Liao troops, riding on war horses, rushed to the Fuxing Pass in just a stick of incense. They began to eliminate the Han people in Liao who stood in front of them.
The shouts of killing were deafening. Brother Yelvxiu sat on his exclusive throne and watched with satisfaction as another of his masterpieces was born. Brother Yelvxiu is very satisfied with this masterpiece.
"Da da da~" A fast horse galloped in front of Brother Yelvxiu's king's carriage. Brother Yeluxiu frowned subconsciously. When he saw the Liao soldiers jumping off their horses, he was slightly startled. I saw the Liao soldier kneeling in front of Brother Yelvxiu, holding a letter in both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have come to Beijing to send you an urgent message."
The letter fell into Brother Yelvxiu's hands. The Liao soldier fell to the ground and died. It can be seen that the Liao soldiers came all the way from Shangjing to the capital day and night without rest except for changing horses.
Brother Yelvxiu looked a little solemn when he saw this. He quickly opened the urgent letter to Beijing and hurriedly checked it. Staring at Fuxing Pass with a livid face. "The Ding of Zhongjing has been lost...the royal family and the descendants have joined forces to force the palace..." Brother Yelvxiu roared, "You, Yang Dezheng, are still better."
Brother Yelvxiu looked ferocious for a long time before he finally became calm. He stared at Fuxing Pass and murmured in a low voice, "Yang Dezheng, this time your fate is good. I will let you go for now. One day, I will cut off your head and use it as a drinking vessel." "Send the order and the entire army retreats. All soldiers and horses will follow the king back to the capital."
"Ah?!" The Liao soldiers carrying the horn horn felt that their brains were a bit out of control and looked at a loss. Brother Yelvxiu roared: "Send the order, withdraw the troops." Brother Yelvxiu's voice was loud this time, so the Liao soldiers carrying the horns heard clearly. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he did not dare to question Brother Yelusiu's order.
He is just a pawn. He just felt a little regretful that he was suddenly given up on the must-win situation in front of him. However, he didn't know that in Brother Yelvxiu's heart, Queen Mother Xiao's position as queen was far more important than Fuxingguan. The Liao Kingdom was vast, and the territory it controlled was no less than that of the Song Dynasty.
The power of such a huge empire is now in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao and Brother Yeluxiu. Once Empress Dowager Xiao is successfully forced into the palace, his position as the King of the South Campus will probably be moved. Yang Dezheng only occupied one Shengzhou, which was really a drop in the bucket compared to the vast Liao Kingdom.
Brother Yelvxiu is extremely shrewd, so naturally it is impossible for him to do something small and lose big. External enemies are never the most terrifying because they are visible and tangible. The inner enemy is the most terrifying thing, because they are invisible and intangible. They will always jump out and stab you at the critical moment, or hold you back.
"Woo~" The thick horn sound echoed in front of Fuxing Pass. The Liao army that had just approached Fuxingguan City had no time to attack Fuxingguan and retreated like the tide. The soldiers at Fuxingguan who had death aspirations or turned pale were stunned for a moment. The Liao soldiers who were among the Han people in Liao were also stunned.
Yang Gui was confused. Yang Qi and Yang Dezheng looked at each other. Yang Qi said in a low voice with a gloomy expression: "The Liao people's behavior is so abnormal? They actually left the Fuxing Pass without fighting? Could it be that Yang Peng's fourth division succeeded in their sneak attack."
Yang Qi's words were full of uncertainty. Because no one dared to assert this matter when there was no news from Fan Long. Yang Gui said in a deep voice: "No matter whether Fan Long succeeds in the sneak attack or not, we must strengthen our vigilance. Brother Yelu Xiu is full of tricks, and there is no guarantee that this will not be another trajectory he uses."
Yang Dezheng nodded solemnly, expressing his agreement with Yang Gui's statement. So, three people, one old and two young, led tens of thousands of people and squatted nervously on the top of the city for a day and a night. Yang Xin, who was not afraid of death, led a team of people and quietly went to explore outside the city. News came back that the Liao people had really withdrawn their troops.
"The Liao army has really retreated~" Yang Xin led their troops and roared loudly while running wildly outside the city. A moment. There was a frenzy of noise on the top of the city. They won this battle. The torture like hell also left them. The soldiers on the top of the city cheered and burst into tears. They hugged each other, asking for each other's warmth.
Yang Gui collapsed and sat on the ground. Yang Qi was so excited that her whole body was shaking. Yang Dezheng immediately ordered, "Reward the three armies." That night. The soldiers on the top of the city gathered together in small groups, reveling and roaring all night long, venting each other's emotions. A whole roasted lamb or cow was carried across the city wall, and by the end, only a plate of bones was left.
The soldiers were having a party. Yang Dezheng and others are not qualified to party. They gathered in the city gate building. On the table in front of them were roasted whole lambs and various foods. Each of them also had a jar of strong wine on the table.
In the middle of the city gate building, there is a roasted golden cow. There was a scimitar stuck in the cow's body. However, in front of such a sumptuous meal, no one had the intention to take action. Instead, everyone sat in silence. After a while, Yang Qi broke the silence, "We won..."
Yang Gui echoed: "We won, and it was very difficult to win." Yang Xin said angrily: "I'm glad we are all safe." Yang Dezheng said in a low voice, expressionless: "This battle took nearly ten years of hard work. Thousands of lives..."
There were mountains of corpses outside the city, and everyone subconsciously wanted to forget them. But it seemed like it had grown into my head and I couldn't forget it. Yang Qi smiled dryly and said: "Eat quickly. After eating, we still have a lot to deal with. The soldiers can take a break, but we don't have time to rest."
It was obviously a celebration banquet, but it ended quietly. In this battle, nearly 20,000 of the 70,000 soldiers at Fuxingguan were killed or injured, and nearly 10,000 were wounded in the barracks. There are less than 40,000 healthy soldiers and horses left. It can be said that the entire Fuxing infantry and Jin army suffered heavy casualties. It is not an exaggeration to describe Yang Dezheng's situation as returning to before liberation overnight. After a night of partying.
Yang Dezheng and his four men led the troops and began to deal with the beginning and the end. The first thing to deal with is the rescued Han people in Liao. The fifth batch of Han people from the Liao area climbed up from the top of the city with the help of ladders, nearly 300,000 people.
Now they are all gathered in Guancheng, which has long been vacated. On the surrounding city walls and corridors, Fuxing infantry and Jin army officers, holding crossbows, stared at the more than 300,000 people in the city. These 300,000 people have been hungry for two days and one night.
Their strength to resist was basically gone. What Yang Dezheng has to do now is to eliminate the Liao soldiers and spies among the 300,000 Han people in Liao. Yang Dezheng walked down the city wall under the escort of personal guards led by Wang Xing and Peng Pai. The Han people in Liao were obviously frightened when they saw the ferocious soldiers around Yang Dezheng.
They gathered together subconsciously and looked at Yang Dezheng timidly. Yang Dezheng stared at these people and said: "You don't have to be afraid. Now that the Liao army has retreated, you are safe. Once you enter this city, you are going home. In the future, this general will allocate fields to you. Let you live and work in peace and contentment. Let you become as free people as the people of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why I am still trapping you and refusing to let you go is because there are many spies from the Liao soldiers among you. In order to ensure that everyone will not be threatened or coerced by the Liao people in the future, I will do stupid things. Therefore, the Liao spies among you must be eliminated.
This general believes that if you get rid of them, you will live more comfortably in the future. "After saying this, Yang Dezheng ordered the people inside the city gate to be divided into small teams of one hundred and one hundred people, and climbed to the top of the city for inspection. During this process, there were many Liao soldiers lurking among the Han people in Liao. The people who were injured in the violence were all shot dead by the soldiers and horses on the top of the city. Yang Dezheng actually didn't do anything. He just let these people board the top of the city and wander around. He also set up several statues on the top of the city. A decent interrogation pass. Then invite these people to go to the top of the city and take a walk. The Liao and Han people have almost the same skin color, so it is really difficult to interrogate the spies of the Liao army without exposing themselves.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
