Yang Erya ran to Han Bing and reined in his horse, "Sister Han Bing!" Han Bing said with a smile, "It's really hard for you to run back and forth between Datong Mansion and Yanmen Pass!" Yang Erya shook his head. Shaking his head, "It's not hard work!"

Han Bing's heart suddenly moved and he asked quickly: "Sister Erya, do you still want to escort the money and grain to Yanmen Pass?" Yang Erya nodded and said: "There is still the last batch, and the remaining money and grain should be kept in the city as a resistance. Supplies for the Liao army's attack!" Seeing Han Bing lowering his head and looking thoughtful, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sister Han Bing, what are you thinking about?" Han Bing raised his head, "Sister Erya, let's borrow a step. Talk!" Yang Erya nodded, and the two of them rode horses to the street. Their female guards stood one after another. When pedestrians saw this posture, they avoided it from a distance. Dare to get close.

Han Bing said to Yang Erya: "Sister Erya, there is something I want to ask you to do." Yang Erya smiled and said: "Sister, whatever you say, if you have anything to do, just tell me!" Han Bing smiled. He smiled, frowned and said, "Don't tell my elder brother about this matter that my sister is asking you to do for the time being."

When Yang Erya heard this, he couldn't help showing an embarrassed look. It didn't matter what he did, but it was a bit difficult not to tell his elder brother. Seeing Yang Erya's embarrassed look, Han Bing smiled and said, "We are not doing bad things without telling him, it's just that it's not easy to tell him about this for the time being." Yang Erya hesitated, nodded and said, "I Believe in Sister Han Bing, I promise Sister Han Bing."

Han Bing smiled and whispered something in her ear. Yang Erya looked at Han Bing with wide eyes: "Is this necessary?" Han Bing frowned and said, "It's better to be careful after all." Yang Erya frowned and said, "But if I don't come back in time, my eldest brother will ask me what I should do if I don't come back in time." What should I do?" Yang Erya said with a smile: "This is easy to handle, I just said that you were escorting the grain and grass on the road and delayed the trip." Yang Erya hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I heard from Sister Han Bing Yes!" Han Bing smiled sweetly.

Yang Peng issued an order to assemble 200,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Yuhe River and prepare to attack Hongzhou. At the same time, Xiao Loushi of Hongzhou finally made up his mind to surprise Yanmen Pass. He decided to personally command 50,000 war cavalry to carry out this adventure, and ordered Qian Xiao Buli to lead another 50,000 war cavalry to support him. They drove into Yanmen Pass at a fast speed and locked the lock of Yanmen Pass firmly with one hundred thousand troops. If there was any problem, Xiao Qianbuli would lead his army to launch an assault from the outside to meet his own breakout. The armies of both sides took action.

Shortly after Xiao Loushi set off with 50,000 war cavalry, he received a report from the scouts and learned that Yang Peng was commanding an army of 200,000 men heading towards Hongzhou. He was first shocked, and then overjoyed. The general on the side said anxiously: "General, the Yanyun Army is attacking Hongzhou, let's rush back to support!" Xiao Loushi shook his head and said: "No! I was originally worried that Yanmen Pass was a trap carefully laid by the Yanyun Army. But now it seems that this is not a trap, but a big flaw, a flaw that can kill Yang Peng's mortal enemy!" All the generals looked confused. Xiao Loushi explained: "Do you think, if this is a trap, Yang Peng will lead an army of 200,000 across the river to attack Hongzhou?" The generals suddenly realized.

Xiao Loushi raised his voice and said: "Send the order and rush to Yanmen Pass at full speed!" All the generals agreed in unison. Soon, 50,000 war cavalry accelerated towards Yanmen Pass, their iron hooves surging and murderous. This time Yang Peng was careless, and he was afraid that he would have to pay a heavy price for his carelessness.

On the other side, Xiao Qianbuli was surprised when he learned the news that Yan Yun's army was coming in large numbers. He hesitated for a moment and ordered the army to abandon Hongzhou and retreat to Shunsheng County in the east.

Before Yang Peng led the army to Hongzhou, he received a report from the scouts that the Khitan army had withdrawn from Hongzhou. He couldn't help but frowned. This situation was not what he expected to see. He originally speculated that Xiao Lou's room The army has been defeated for a while, and they should not flee without a fight, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the imperial court or the people in the country. They will at least resist symbolically. As long as they resist symbolically, they will be sure to break up. Their retreat was to annihilate them all in Hongzhou City, but they did not expect that the other party would give up Hongzhou and escape without hesitation!

Yang Peng hesitated for a moment and ordered the army to stop on the spot. At the same time, he ordered the scouts to continue to detect the enemy's movements. Yang Peng had not given up his plan to annihilate the Khitan army forward. He wanted to see if there was still a chance.

At night, Yang Peng stood in front of the map with an oil lamp and thought. Soft footsteps sounded behind him and stopped just a short distance behind him. At the same time, two similar but slightly different body fragrances entered Yang Peng's nasal cavity. Yang Peng knew it was Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu without turning around. coming. Turning around, I saw two women in military uniforms standing very close in front of me. They couldn't help showing a gentle smile and asked: "You haven't rested yet?"

Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you get some rest too?" Han Bing said, "Sister Yelu and I couldn't sleep, so we came over to see if eldest brother had rested." Yang Peng stepped forward and held the two women's delicate hands. Looking at them tenderly, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. The two women also looked at him tenderly, with watery tenderness in their eyes.

Yang Peng took the two women and sat down beside him, frowning slightly and said, "I just received the report from the scouts. Xiaolou's army actually fled to Shunsheng County in one go. It's really fast!" The two women looked at each other, Yelu Hanyu thought: "The opponent is a light cavalry. If they focus on escaping, we can't catch up!" He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "Brother, I don't think we need to waste any more food and energy on this matter." , we should return to Datong Mansion immediately to recharge our batteries for the decisive battle with Yelu Hucheng!" Han Bing nodded and said: "I agree with Sister Yelu's suggestion. It would be good if we could eliminate the Khitan army's forward, but now the enemy has obviously made up his mind. If we don't fight our army, there is really no need for us to waste our energy on them! I can be sure that if we catch up to Shunsheng County, they will continue to flee eastward. This is simply an endless process, and they may even I still want to use this to consume our energy."

Yang Peng said: "As soon as I received the report from the scouts, I have decided to cancel this operation." He glanced at the two women and said, "Two hundred thousand soldiers have traveled this way and consumed a lot of energy. Let's rest for one night and resume tomorrow morning. Return to Datong Mansion." The two women nodded.

Yang Peng suddenly showed a wicked smile, and tightened his palms on the two women's hands at the same time, "Which of you will accompany me tonight?" The two women did not expect that he would suddenly ask such a question. They were stunned at first, and then Embarrassed, Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but think of the scene where he and his elder brother were entangled in the wilderness camp before, and his heart was filled with excitement and passion. However, Han Bing blushed and said with a sweet face: "There are all soldiers here and there. If they hear the noise in our tent, it will be embarrassing to death. Will Sister Yelu and I still have the face to see people in the future?"

Of course, Yang Peng would not force them, and he chuckled, "Okay, okay! Hey, eldest brother will have to sleep alone tonight!" Seeing how pitiful he said, the two girls were both amused and pitiful, and almost agreed to him verbally. request.

Yang Peng pointed at his cheek, "It doesn't matter if you kiss it, right?" The two girls looked at each other with blushing faces, and they looked squirming. It was obvious that they had agreed, but neither of them wanted to take the lead. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Mei'er, you are the sister, you come first." Yelu Hanyu rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, helpless, and leaned her upper body over, her red lips kept getting closer to Yang Peng, ready to kiss Yang Peng's cheek. Unexpectedly, Yang Peng suddenly turned his head and kissed his red lips. Yelu Hanyu trembled and looked at Yang Peng lovingly. Han Bing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Brother is so evil. He actually attacked Sister Yelu. This is really a surprise!"

Yelu Hanyu rolled her eyes at Han Bing, "Don't laugh at me, it's your turn now!" Yang Peng looked at Han Bing at the same time. Han Bing had never been intimate with Yang Peng in front of a third party. He couldn't help but blush and feel flustered. Thinking of the situation when his eldest brother attacked Sister Yelu just now, he couldn't help but be afraid. He frowned and said, "You are not allowed to attack me!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Han Bing felt relieved, stood up, and leaned down to kiss Yang Peng's cheek. Yang Peng suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Han Bing's slender waist. He kissed her red lips with Han Bing's surprised expression, and kissed her painfully. He didn't let her go until Han Bing was about to die.

As soon as he was free, Han Bing jumped up, stared, and said with shame and annoyance: "You don't mean what you say, you said you wouldn't do a sneak attack!" Yang Peng said seriously: "This is not a sneak attack, this is just and aboveboard. Attack!" Yang Peng was stunned, "You, you are acting like a rogue!"

Yang Peng patted his thigh and said softly: "Come here, brother." Han Bing raised his eyebrows, "No!" Yang Peng's voice became gentler, "Come on, brother misses you." Han Bing heard these words. In Bing's ears, his body and mind trembled, and his body involuntarily walked over and sat on Yang Peng's lap. Yang Peng hugged Han Bing, with a look of pride in his eyes. Yelu Hanyu on the side laughed and joked: "This is called throwing yourself into a trap!" Han Bing was embarrassed and hurriedly left Yang Peng's arms, her face flushed and staring. He looked at Yang Peng and said, "You're bad!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Yang Peng chuckled, not to mention how comfortable he felt.

Yelu Hanyu stood up and said with a smile: "Brother, take a rest early. I will come over too." He looked at Yang Peng affectionately as he spoke. Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat and he said, "You have to be careful at night, maybe big brother will come and attack you!" Yelu Hanyu's heart skipped a beat, and he rolled his eyes at Yang Peng charmingly, and said proudly: "Come on, come on, don't you think so?" This princess is still afraid of you!" Then she turned around and walked outside. On the way out, she stopped and looked back at Yang Peng, smiling sweetly. Yang Peng couldn't help but lose consciousness for a while. When he came back to his senses, the beautiful woman had disappeared.

Sleeping until midnight, Yang Peng was suddenly awakened by Wang Kai's call. Gulu sat up and saw Wang Kaigong standing not far from the couch, pinching the bridge of his nose with two fingers and rubbing it, and asked: "What's the matter?" Wang Kai said hurriedly: "Master, urgent military situation, Xiao Lou's room Raid at Yanmen Pass!" Yang Peng was shocked, "What?! What's the situation?" Wang Kai said: "I don't know the specific situation yet, the messenger is outside the account!" "Hurry up and call him in!" Wang Kai responded. , ran down, and in a blink of an eye he led a dusty officer in. As soon as the officer saw Yang Peng, he fell down and kowtowed: "I pay my respects to King Yan!" At this time, Yang Peng had already stood up and asked eagerly: "How is Yanmen Pass?"

"Reporting to King Yan, Xiao Lou's army suddenly appeared near Yanmen Pass. The villain was specially ordered to come to King Yan's rescue!"

Yang Peng frowned, "What was the situation when you came?" The messenger asked: "When I came down, Xiaolou's army had already approached Yanmen Pass more than ten miles away!" Yang Peng felt that the matter was very urgent, although his side The enemy was discovered one step ahead, but after all, the Yanmen garrison only had 5,000 people, and they were all military and civilian troops. If one of them failed, the Khitan army might really attack Yanmen Pass! I was really careless, I actually thought that Xiao Loushi's army was frightened and would no longer pose any threat to myself!

He turned to Wang Kai and said, "Call the generals immediately!" Wang Kai responded and ran down.

The gathering drum suddenly sounded loudly in the night, and the whole army was frightened. All the generals hurriedly gathered towards the big tent. The generals stared at Yang Peng, waiting for Yang Peng's order. Yang Peng glanced at the generals and said: "I just received a scout report that Xiao Loushi led a group of warriors to try to sneak attack Yanmen Pass!" After hearing this, the generals said, I couldn't help but feel excited. Everyone was a veteran on the battlefield and naturally understood the importance of Yanmen Pass. Huyan Chijin cupped his fists and asked for a fight: "King Yan, I am willing to lead the army to rescue Yanmen Pass!" The other generals also asked for a fight.

Yang Peng said: "I will personally rush to the aid of Yanmen Pass, and the forward 20,000 light cavalry and Xuanjia troops will accompany me!" Jiao Ting and Zhan Jinguo came out to promise. Yang Peng turned to look at Han Bing, "I will leave it to General Han Bing to take full responsibility for the affairs here!" Han Bing promised with clasped fists. Yang Peng said: "You lead the army back to Datong Mansion and defend it to the death." "Yes!"

Yang Peng said to the generals: "That's it, the forward warriors and Xuanjia warriors will assemble immediately, and the rest of the soldiers will continue to rest!" The generals agreed in unison and withdrew from the tent, but Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu stayed. . Yang Peng walked up to the two of them, looked at Han Bing, and blamed himself: "Han Bing gave me good advice before, but I didn't listen! It's like you said, the continuous victories made me underestimate the enemy too much!" He frowned, "Even though I saw such an obvious flaw, I didn't pay attention to it!" Han Bing said, "Brother, don't be upset. As the saying goes, 'It's never too late to fix a problem before it's too late.' It's not too late to realize this!"

Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said: "I hope it's not too late!" Then he frowned. He was worried about the safety of Yanmen Pass and Yang Jiumei, and he was very anxious.

Jiao Ting and Zhan Jinguo came in together, clasping their fists and saying: "King Yan, the troops and horses have been assembled!" Yang Peng nodded and said to the two women: "Brother is gone, you take care of yourselves!" The two women said quickly: " Brother, please be safe!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, shook the two women's hands, then turned and left. When the two women walked out of the tent, they saw Yang Peng getting on his horse and running toward the tens of thousands of war horses gathered outside the camp, surrounded by Jiao Ting, the two generals from Zhan Jin Kingdom, and more than a hundred secret guards.

Yang Peng came to the front of the army and raised his voice: "Brothers, follow me to rescue Yanmen Pass!" More than 20,000 soldiers shouted in unison. Yang Peng turned his horse's head and ran towards the southwest, and more than 20,000 soldiers turned their horse's head and ran after him. The loud rumbling sound echoed in the night sky, it felt like rolling thunder, and there was only a shimmering cold light under the moonlight.

Yang Peng was worried about the safety of Yanmen Pass and Yang Jiumei's situation. He just wished he could put on his wings and fly over. …

In just one night, Yang Peng led more than 20,000 war cavalry and ran for nearly 300 miles, only dozens of miles away from Yanmen Pass. The closer to Yanmen Pass, the faster Yang Peng's heart beats. He is both eager to get news about Yanmen Pass and afraid of getting news about Yanmen Pass.

Suddenly he saw a fast horse galloping in front of him. Yang Peng immediately reined in the horse and raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop. The more than 20,000 horsemen slowly stopped, and the thunderous noise suddenly stopped. , the agitated smoke and dust moved forward dozens of meters like a sandstorm and then slowly dispersed.

The fast horse was approaching, and everyone saw clearly that the person coming was dressed as a herald of the Yanyun Army, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, worried and expectant at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the herald galloped in front of Yang Peng, reined in the horse suddenly, rolled off the saddle, clasped his fists and bowed: "The herald under General Yang pays homage to King Yan!"

Yang Peng was greatly surprised, "Are you the herald under General Yang Erya?" "Yes!" "General Yang Erya is at Yanmen Pass?" "Yes, General Yang happened to escort money and grain to Yanmen Pass!" Yang Peng asked hurriedly : "How is the situation at Yanmen Pass?"

"Reporting to King Yan, there is nothing wrong with Yanmen Pass." Yang Peng couldn't help feeling relieved when he heard this, and then felt a little unbelievable and asked: "Is everything really okay?" "Yes, Yanmen Pass The crisis has been resolved!" Yang Peng asked the messenger very curiously: "What is going on?" The messenger said: "Xiao Lou led 50,000 cavalry to raid Yanmen Pass, but the two generals Yang were well prepared and set up an ambush at Yanmen Pass. We severely damaged Xiao Lou's army, and Xiao Lou's army fled in panic when they saw that our army was well prepared!"

Yang Peng couldn't help but feel extremely grateful to the two wives, and couldn't help but murmured: "Thanks to Jiumei and Erya this time?" Then he asked the messenger: "Are you sure there is no danger?" The messenger said: " There is indeed no danger. Our army scouts have been monitoring Xiaolou's army as they escape, and they have not looked back." Yang Peng thought for a moment and said to the messenger: "You rush back immediately and tell Jiumei and Erya that you want them to Continue to guard and defend to the death!" The messenger promised. Yang Peng wanted a messenger to convey his gratitude to them, but on second thought, he thought it would be better not to let a third party talk about such private conversations between husband and wife. Seeing that the messenger was still standing there, he said, "That's all. Go quickly." The messenger responded with clasped fists, then turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Yang Peng turned to the soldiers and said, "Keep going!" Then he waved his whip and the horses started galloping, followed by more than 20,000 horsemen.

Soon after, the army passed through a forested and hilly area, and saw the bodies of many Jin Army soldiers lying strewn all over the mountains and fields, and nearly a thousand of our own soldiers cleaning the battlefield. This must be the battlefield where Jiumei and Erya ambush Lou Shi. An officer who was cleaning the battlefield came up to him and said, "My subordinates pay their respects to King Yan!" Yang Peng reined in his horse, glanced at the surrounding scene, and asked, "What was the result of the battle? What were the casualties?" The officer was excited. He said: "Our army has severely damaged the enemy, but I didn't have many casualties!" Seeing that he didn't know the specific situation, Yang Peng stopped asking and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" The officer was flattered and his face was full of excitement. I wanted to say something, but nothing could come out.

As Yang Peng and his party passed through this forested hilly area, their eyes suddenly opened up. The majestic and steep Yanmen Pass appeared in front of them. Yan Yun's two-winged flying tiger flag was still flying on the city gate tower, and there was a man standing on the city wall. A row of soldiers armed with guns, very powerful. Yang Peng couldn't help but smile.

The group of people headed towards Yanmen Pass. The gate of Yanmen Pass suddenly opened wide, and they saw hundreds of soldiers rushing out led by two general flags. Under the two general flags were a graceful and heroic female general, Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya. Yang Peng laughed and led the army to greet them.

When both sides met in Guanxia, ​​they couldn't help but be very happy. The two women called eldest brother, and Yang Peng sighed: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise eldest brother's mistake will cause unimaginable heavy losses!" The two women smiled, and Yang Jiumei said: "Brother, let's go in Talk." Yang Peng nodded. Then the two teams formed one team and entered Yanmen Pass.

Yang Peng, Yang Jiumei, and Yang Erya walked into the office hall. Yang Jiumei ordered the Feifeng female guard to make fragrant tea. Yang Peng casually sat down on a chair. Seeing the two women standing, he smiled and said: "Sit down, it's hard for me to talk to you with my head raised like this!" The two women smiled sweetly and stood around Yang Peng. People sat down on the chairs on both sides. At this time, three Feifeng female guards came in carrying a steaming bowl of fragrant tea, placed them in front of the three of them, and then bowed and retreated.

Yang Peng sighed with emotion: "Thanks to you two this time!" Yang Jiumei smiled and said: "Brother is wrong, this is all the credit of sister Erya! In fact, I never thought that the enemy would sneak attack here, so there was no Be prepared. Two days ago, Sister Erya arrived with money and food. She said that we should beware of enemy sneak attacks, so I sent scouts to give early warning in the distance. Soon after, the scouts who gave early warning in the distance discovered traces of Xiao Lou's army. , immediately rewarded us, I was surprised at the time, and then the two of us briefly discussed and decided to use 10,000 troops to set up an ambush in the forest outside the city. Sister Erya personally commanded this battle. It went very smoothly. Xiao Lou's army was unprepared and lost most of it. The remaining army fled in a hurry towards the northeast."

Yang Peng nodded and looked at Erya, his eyes full of approval. Yang Peng blushed and said: "Actually, it's not my fault..." Yang Peng chuckled, "Of course your ninth sister has made great contributions. But your contribution is greater!”

After all, what happened next will be explained later.
