His eyes turned to the Song Army barracks outside Gongzhou City. The military camp was busy, and there seemed to be signs of a large army dispatching. Soon after, smoke curled up from the barracks, and the Song soldiers had a hearty meal. Then the Song army abandoned their camp, marched out in full force, and headed east.
Liu Xi received a report on the movements of the Song army. Since he had received orders from Yang Peng earlier, he immediately ordered the army to leave the city after dark to pursue them. In the evening, after the army had dinner, Liu Xi led the army out in full force and followed the Song army.
After Xue Tongshan led the army to leave the camp, they traveled more than 20 miles and waited in ambush. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. The mountains, forests and valleys were all quiet. At this time, the scouts came to report that there was no movement from Yanyun's army in Gongzhou City. Xue Tongshan smiled and said: "Liu Xi suffered a big loss from me before and is scared! This is good, I can go and take back Fuzhou with peace of mind!" Dang even ignored Liu Xi and led the army to continue marching towards Fuzhou.
Two days later, when the sun rose to high in the sky, the army led by Xue Tongshan entered the mountains and forests more than 20 miles west of Fuzhou. The terrain in this area is relatively flat, but there are also mountains, forests, and several small streams meandering through it.
Boom! A loud noise suddenly came from the front. The soldiers of the Song Army were startled. They quickly followed the sound and saw billowing smoke and dust in front of them. The figure of the forward was no longer visible. Their ears were buzzing and they were shouting horribly. The calls came in confusion.
Before the soldiers of the army understood what was going on, there was a loud explosion all around. For a while, smoke, debris, and human body parts were flying all over the sky. The soldiers of the Song Army were suddenly hit by such a blow, and they were in chaos.
In the midst of this chaos, there was a loud rumbling noise in front of them. Through the smoke and dust flying in the sky, the Song Army soldiers saw a group of extremely powerful warriors in black clothes and black armor, led by a heroic and extraordinary general. Come rushing! It's like a pack of tigers coming out of the box, which makes people feel shocked! Many soldiers of the Song Army turned around and ran away subconsciously. Before the two sides engaged in battle, the Song Army was already shaken! Xue Tongshan shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to stabilize the army. However, in this chaotic atmosphere, it was difficult for his voice to attract the attention of others.
The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led two thousand Xuanjia troops into the middle of the Song army. They moved forward without hesitation, tearing the Song army apart like a hot knife slicing through butter. The Song army in panic had no time to resist and only ran for their lives. At the same time, a group of war cavalry rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides and crashed into the middle of the Song army. The Song army became even more chaotic. The timid ones rolled and crawled to the ground to escape, while the brave ones fought with Yan Yun's army. However, this Under this situation, the infantry was completely powerless against the cavalry. They saw those brave Song soldiers being chopped down by the razor-like wave of cavalry.
Xue Tongshan mobilized troops to resist and ordered the army to retreat. During the melee, the Song army was defeated and retreated to the west. There were fleeing Song troops all over the mountains and fields.
Xue Tongshan led tens of thousands of defeated soldiers to flee westward, planning to return to the camp outside Gongzhou City before making any plans. In the evening, the Song army who was retreating suddenly saw countless black shadows coming from all over the mountains and fields on the opposite side. The officers and soldiers of the Song Army were stunned for a moment, and then they felt something was wrong, and they were all frightened. Someone shouted: "Oh no, there is also Yan Yun's army in front!"
Xue Tongshan urgently ordered the army to form an array on the spot. Before the formation was fully set, the Hanzhong Army led by Liu Xi rushed forward and stormed the Song Army's line. The Song army had been on the run for a whole day. They were frightened and exhausted. Now they were attacked fiercely by the Hanzhong army. They could not resist it. They were defeated like a mountain. No matter how much Xue Tongshan screamed, it was useless. At the same time, the cavalry led by Yang Peng chased up from behind, and a fierce charge swept the Song army to pieces. The Song army scattered all over the mountains and fields. Seeing that the situation was over, Xue Tongshan could no longer take care of his troops, so he immediately led a dozen soldiers to break through to the north.
Just as Xue Tongshan was running for his life, he suddenly saw a strong general Yan Yun leading a group of cavalry blocking the way. Xue Tongshan's eyes showed a desperate look, and he shouted and led the soldiers to charge forward. General Yan Yunhan led his soldiers to meet them. The two sides collided with each other, and a short round of fighting passed by each other. Xue Tongshan was shocked to find that in the short confrontation just now, only two of the dozen soldiers under his command were left, and the opponent only injured two people, but no one was killed!
Xue Tongshan looked at the Yanyun warrior and asked sharply: "Who are you?"
The Yanyun warrior smiled and said, "My name is Yang Peng!"
Xue Tongshan was shocked, and then he rushed towards him like crazy. Yang Peng pinched the horse's belly with his feet, and the black dragon immediately spread its hooves to meet it. In the blink of an eye, the two horses crossed each other, Xue Tongshan shouted, brandished his spear and stabbed Yang Peng, but missed! At the same time, I only felt a huge pain in my chest, and then my whole body flew backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Xue Tongshan coughed and laughed twice, and shouted with his last strength: "I will die in the hands of King Yan, and I will die with no regrets!" After that, he died. When two of Xue Tongshan's soldiers saw this, they were filled with grief and anger. They cut themselves to pieces together, and their bodies fell from their horses.
Yang Peng sighed secretly and glanced at the battlefield. He saw that his own soldiers were chasing the Song army all over the mountains and fields. The battle was now over. Yang Peng ordered: "Send the order, don't kill the Song soldiers rashly, capture them alive as much as possible!" Several secret guards around him immediately agreed and galloped down.
The mountains, forests and fields gradually became quiet. Corpses were everywhere on the ground, and the air was filled with the nauseating smell of blood. Groups of Song Army soldiers shrugged their heads and gathered in one place under the escort of Yan Yunjun.
Liu Xi rode his horse and came to Yang Peng, clasping his fists happily and saying: "The King of Yan calculated his plan and annihilated the main force of the Song army in one fell swoop!"
Yang Peng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a perfect strategy, but I'm afraid it's not necessarily true! If Cao Yong had enough troops, we wouldn't have been able to win so easily!" The key to this battle can be said to be that Yang Peng led 7,000 cavalry to attack Fu. This is the most important part of the state's action. However, during the execution, Yang Peng almost changed his intentions temporarily. Just after he learned that Liu Xi was defeated by the Song army when he left the city, he worried that Cao Yong Instead of dividing his troops to attack Chengdu in Hezhou as he expected, he concentrated his forces to attack Gongzhou. In that case, he was afraid that Liu Xi would be completely defeated. Once that happened, it would be difficult for him to copy Fuzhou to achieve his strategic purpose! Under this situation, if he continued to attack Fuzhou, he could certainly capture Fuzhou, but in his haste, it would be difficult to deal with the Song army's heavy return attack. Nine times out of ten, the Song army would break through Fuzhou and escape.
Yang Peng was in a dilemma at the time, but finally chose to believe that Liu Xi could defend Gongzhou in the worst case scenario, so he decided to continue to implement the original plan, and finally won! If Yang Pengruo had temporarily changed his intentions at that time, he would not have been defeated, but the great victory now would be impossible to achieve! It can be said that the difference in thought was a huge difference in the result. Yang Peng's victory was really a bit of a fluke!
Zhan Jin came on horseback, came to Yang Peng's face, reined in his horse, cupped his fists and said: "Brother, the enemy army was basically wiped out, and only less than a thousand people escaped!"
Yang Peng nodded and ordered Wang Kai beside him: "Immediately send an order to Hu Yanbixian, tell him the situation of our battle, and ask him to act according to the plan." Wang Kai accepted the promise and ran down.
Yang Peng ordered Liu Xi to send 5,000 troops to escort the prisoners back to Chengdu, while he himself led the main army to march directly to Hezhou. On the way, he received an urgent report from Yuan Jue that he had been ordered to attack Kuizhou. It turned out that after Yang Peng led his army to successfully attack Fuzhou, while planning to annihilate the Song army under Xue Tongshan, he sent two thousand Yuan Jueshuai's cavalry out of Fuzhou to the east to recover the prefectures and counties east of Fuzhou. Since Cao Yong did not leave troops to defend the prefectures and counties east of Fuzhou, the people guarding those prefectures and counties were all the original officials, government officials, and Xiang troops. When they heard that Fuzhou had been recaptured by Yan Yun's army, they were all frightened to death. Fleeing for his life, surrendering, Yuanjue led two thousand warriors all the way eastward without encountering any resistance until they reached Kuimen. Cao Yong left five hundred defenders at Kuimen. The five hundred defenders saw the arrival of Yan Yun's army and wanted to resist. However, in the middle of the night, the officials in the city led the Xiang army to open the gate. Deng Yuanjue led two thousand war cavalrymen. Entering with drums, they defeated the 500 defenders left by Cao Yong in one fell swoop and occupied Kuimen. At this point, the gate to eastern Sichuan was completely closed by Yan Yun's army.
Yang Peng was very happy after reading Yuan Jue's military report. He immediately ordered the news to be sent to the Huyan Bixian Department and Chengdu, and then ordered Yuan Jue to stay at Kuimen.
The army led by Yang Peng continued to march into Hezhou. Two days later, the army arrived in Hezhou and returned to the city. They saw chaos outside Hezhou City. People continued to drag their families and families out of the city. However, when they saw the army led by him, many people were so frightened that they immediately turned around and ran back. At this time, panicked shouts and children's cries came from Hezhou City.
Yang Peng laughed at himself and said: "Did the people here see the wolf coming?" Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the city!" The army entered Hezhou City. The originally chaotic and noisy Hezhou City suddenly became very quiet. The people hid in their homes and carefully observed the terrifying army outside, which was surrounded by countless terrifying rumors, through the cracks in the doors and windows. Yang Peng ordered people to post notices to calm the people and at the same time promote Yan Yunjun's policy. When the common people saw that Yan Yunjun did not harass them, and heard the policies they promoted, their fear gradually disappeared, and pedestrians gradually began to appear on the streets.
Soon after Yang Peng led his army into the city, Huyan Bixian also arrived with nearly 30,000 Yanyun troops under his command. About half a day later, the scouts reported that they had discovered that the Song army led by Cao Yong was retreating toward the northeast. Yang Peng immediately started searching on the map, and then fixed his gaze on the area between Daba Mountain and Wu Mountain. He pointed and said, "Both Daba Mountain and Wu Mountain are difficult for birds to cross. Their only escape route is the combination of the two mountains." Place!"
Yang Peng said to Zhan Jin Guo: "Zhan Jin Guo, immediately lead all the cavalry to pursue the enemy!" Zhan Jin Guo clasped his fists in agreement and ran down.
Two days later, the battle report came that the war cavalry led by Zhan Jinguo failed to catch up with Cao Yong. It turned out that while retreating, Cao Yong burned all the bridges on the rivers in the area he passed through, which frequently blocked the pursuers of the Kingdom of Zhanjin. When the Kingdom of Zhanjin led his cavalry to reach the mountains, Cao Yong and the others had already entered the mountains half a day ago. . In view of the steep mountains, the Kingdom of Zhanjin was not conducive to cavalry fighting, and they were worried about encountering an ambush in the steep mountains, so they left a small number of cavalry to monitor, and he led a large group of cavalry back. At this point, the battle between Yanyun Army and Song Army in Sichuan is over.
Cao Yong led nearly 20,000 troops into the mountains. Although this area was the junction of Daba Mountain and Wushan Mountain, the mountains were still extremely majestic, with rows of peaks reaching into the sky and overlapping thorns and shrubs. The 20,000 Song troops only walked In less than half a day, his clothes were torn to pieces by thorns, and his body was covered with scars. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were marching hard in the mountains, and screams and screams were heard from time to time. Whenever this happened, someone fell off the cliff again!
Cao Yong led 20,000 elite troops to march for more than ten days through the high mountains, cliffs and thorns, and finally walked out of the mountains and entered the border of Hebei. The soldiers could not help but feel like they were human beings again. Cao Yong ordered people to count the number of people and found that of the 20,000 horses that entered the mountain, only 15,000 came out, and 4 to 5,000 were buried in the ferocious mountain. Cao Yong was so sad that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
The topic turned to Chengdu, Sichuan, and the palace.
In the pavilion on the cliff of Yang Peng, he looked at the report he had just received and said with a smile: "Messenger from the imperial court, this is interesting." He put down the letter, turned to face Wang Kai who was standing beside him and said: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Wang Kai responded. At this moment, Luo Yanran and An Qian came over with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Wang Kai quickly bowed and saluted, and Yang Peng laughed. The two women put pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the stone table in front of Yang Peng and glanced at Yang Peng. Luo Yanran was wearing a mask and could not see her expression, but An Qian was smiling charmingly. Then An Qian laid out the paper, Luo Yanran polished the ink, and Yang Peng looked at the two women tenderly with a smile.
Luo Yanran polished the ink, picked up the brush, and handed it to Yang Peng with both hands. Yang Peng took the brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing quickly on the letter paper. The two girls had long heard of Yang Peng's reputation as a talented scholar, and couldn't help but look forward to Yang Peng's calligraphy. However, when they saw Yang Peng's calligraphy with their own eyes, they couldn't help being surprised. They felt that although the eldest brother's calligraphy was very impressive, But that glyph-shaped frame is really unflattering! Both women couldn't help but feel that they were dazzled!
Yang Peng finished writing a letter, dried the ink, folded it, and asked Wang Kai to get an envelope and put the letter in it. Then he handed the letter to the well-worn herald and ordered: "Rush back to Tianjing New City immediately and give the letter to Han Bing!" The herald agreed and left.
As soon as the herald went down, another herald ran over and knelt down and said: "To report to King Yan, Commander Wang Hai ordered his subordinates to receive good news. Not long ago, Commander Wang Hai and Commander Wang Rong received the news. After receiving information that the Japanese army was about to invade, we immediately dispatched naval warships to fight and encountered the Japanese on the sea. The two sides fought for several days, with seven battles and seven victories. The Japanese suffered heavy losses, but our army made countless gains. The remaining Japanese soldiers have fled eastward!"
Yang Peng looked happy, and Luo Yanran and An Qian were also very happy. The herald took out a letter and held it up with both hands. Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, read it over, and said with a smile: "Ping Qingsheng, haha, I thought he was a person, but I didn't expect him to be just a person." He's just an idiot who only thinks about things! It's okay to want to take revenge, but you also need to understand the strength of both sides! He completely forgot how the Japanese navy suffered a disastrous defeat before, and actually led the army across the sea rashly. Aren’t you just throwing yourself into a trap?”
An Qian asked curiously: "Have all the Japanese troops been wiped out?"
Yang Peng shook his head, "That's not true, but it's tragic to lose two out of three!" Then he showed a thoughtful look and murmured: "Maybe there will be something good to see in the Japanese Congress!" He stood up and walked over. On the edge of the cliff, looking northwest, he said with a teasing smile: "The Tibetan people must be very lively now!"
The Tubo people sent 200,000 troops to Sichuan to pick peaches, thinking that Yan Yun's troops were insufficient and that the entire Sichuan could be captured at his fingertips. The emperor, nobles and ministers were waiting for good news from the front line every day. However, the good news did not arrive, but Yan Yun's messenger arrived.
The Tubo people were fully expecting good news from the front line, but Wang Changshan, Yanyun's envoy, brought them bad news. The 200,000-strong Tubo army was wiped out! This was really a bolt from the blue for the Tubo people, and it shocked the Tubo Emperor and the Manchu ministers to a state of dizziness and horror! It took a long time for the Tubo monarchs and ministers to come back to their senses, and then suspicions arose in their hearts. They felt that the news of Yan Yun's envoy was unbelievable. First of all, they did not believe that Yan Yun's army could completely annihilate their own army of 200,000 men under such circumstances. , in fact, not to mention total annihilation, even defeat is impossible. Secondly, the Tubo side did not receive any military reports from the front line, and it is really impossible to believe the battle reports from the enemy!
The Tubo Emperor didn't believe Wang Changshan's words, his face immediately fell, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect the Yanyun people to learn to talk nonsense!"
Wang Changshan smiled slightly and said, "I am telling the truth. If your Majesty doesn't believe me, there is nothing I can do!"
The Hami elder shouted with a livid face: "Do you Yanyun people think that we Tubo people are all fools? You want to deceive us by saying such unbelievable things!" The ministers and nobles also shouted sarcastically, There was a lot of yelling and cursing, and the originally majestic and solemn court became like a vegetable market.
The Tubo Emperor said coldly: "You Yanyun are simply too much!" When the ministers and nobles heard the emperor speak, they stopped shouting and cursing, and the hall gradually became quiet. The Tubo Emperor said: "You are so rude. If I don't punish you, where will the majesty of Tubo be?"
The Tibetan ministers and nobles started shouting again, and several of them clamored for Wang Changshan's death. The Tubo Emperor raised his right hand and the hall fell silent. The Tubo Emperor shouted: "Here comes!" Immediately, several warriors rushed into the hall, waiting for orders. The Tubo Emperor pointed at Wang Changshan and shouted: "Put Envoy Yanyun and his entourage in prison and wait for disposal!" The warriors in front of the palace agreed and immediately stepped forward to take Wang Changshan away. Wang Changshan smiled, glanced sideways at the Tubo Emperor, and said calmly: "I hope you will not regret the decision you made now!" The Tubo Emperor couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart, frowned, and shouted: "Detain him!" The warrior in front of the palace will Wang Changshan escorted him down.
Hami angrily requested: "Your Majesty, these hateful Yanyun people should be executed immediately and let them all go to hell!" Many nobles agreed.
The Tubo Emperor said: "There's no need to worry. They're already in the cell anyway. It's not up to us to kill them when!" Then he frowned and said worriedly: "I'm a little worried about the situation of the army! Why is it so long? It’s been a while and there’s no new news coming?” He looked up at Song He and asked, “Song He, do you think what the Yanyun envoy just said may be true?” Song He, the Pingxi General of Tubo, The Tibetan Emperor had previously used him to attack the Hexi Corridor, but the result was a huge defeat. Therefore, he was not used in the recent military campaign against Sichuan, and instead he was reactivated by Zanbutai, who had been dismissed from office.
When Songhe heard the emperor asking himself, he said: "It's hard to say. I'm afraid anything could happen. Your Majesty, instead of guessing here, why not send someone into Sichuan to understand the situation."
The Tubo Emperor felt that what Song He said was reasonable, and immediately ordered Song He to send people to Sichuan to inquire about the situation.
His eyes turned back to the Chengdu Palace. An Bing was led by An Qian to the back garden of the palace. From a distance, he saw King Yan Jing, naked to the waist, dancing on the grass by the lake not far away. A horse pole was flying in the hands of Yang Peng, with great power. The cold light was flying, like the falling snow. Although An Bing was still far away, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened!
An Qian's eyes showed a look of obsession, and she said to An Bing: "Come on." An Bing responded quickly. The two walked along the bluestone path on the shore of the lake, walked to Luo Yanran, and called out softly: "Sister!" Luo Yanran came back to her senses, glanced at An Qian, and said, "Sister is here? An Qian said: "I brought my uncle to see my eldest brother!" Luo Yanran glanced at An Bing, who quickly bowed and saluted, looking very humble. Luo Yanran said to An Qian: "Brother is practicing, please wait a moment." An Qian responded, her eyes returned to Yang Peng, looking at Yang Peng's shiny and powerful body, she couldn't help but feel excited. Can't do it myself.
Luo Yanran looked at Yang Peng's body and couldn't help but murmured: "Big brother has a lot of scars on his body!..." An Qian and An Bing nodded subconsciously, An Bing's eyes showed awe, and he swallowed Mouth and mouth, he said: "King Yan, King Yan is really a peerless general who has experienced hundreds of battles!" An Qian couldn't help but hugged her arms, a touching blush appeared on her beautiful face, and her teeth gently Biting her red lips, her beautiful eyes trembled, revealing a moving look. She was obviously moved; however, Luo Yanran said in a very distressed tone: "Brother, he must have experienced countless tragic battles! A hero who has fought many battles, he is scarred, I don’t know how he got here at that time!”
Yang Peng danced for a while longer, then stood up and exhaled heavily. The two women rushed forward and Luo Yanran picked up the towel prepared in advance to wipe Yang Peng's sweat. Yang Peng smiled at Luo Yanran, picked up a towel and wiped it himself.
An Qian said: "Brother, my uncle is here." Yang Peng looked towards An Bing. An Bing hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and worshiped: "Guilty minister, guilty minister pays homage to King Yan, long live King Yan!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
