After the female general of the Yang family decides to rescue Taiyuan, she will advance her troops very quickly.
After passing through Jingxing Road, the female generals were as powerful as tigresses, and it only took half an hour to capture Yuci County in the southeast of Taiyuan.
Without taking a break, he immediately led his troops northward and suddenly attacked the bandit soldiers besieging Taiyuan from behind. He killed more than ten enemy generals and caused tens of thousands of bandit soldiers to flee in disarray.
The siege of Taiyuan was solved.
After resting for half a day, the women gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and marched again. However, they did not go south along the Fenshui Valley, but entered the northern range of Taiyue Mountain and went straight to Weishengjunzhou, Tianhu's "pseudo capital", hoping to complete their victory in one battle.
They attacked Pingcheng and Keyushe all the way. They marched in all the prefectures and counties along the way. In more than half a month, they reached the "pseudo capital" of Tianhu.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Tian Hu refused to fight, burned the city directly, and headed south in a hurry, leaving them with only an empty city.
Because they advanced too quickly, they had already run out of food and supplies, so they had no choice but to suspend the pursuit and wait for the follow-up food and supplies.
After setting up camp outside the city, Sister Yang couldn't help complaining angrily:
"This is Chen Zhuanshi, whom Mom trusts. He only gives us less than a month's worth of food and grass. Are you afraid that we might rebel?"
"If we had given more, we might have caught up with Tian Hu."
Taijun She glared at her and scolded:
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense."
"The rules of the imperial court have always been like this."
"He handled it according to the court's laws, and there was nothing wrong with it."
Sister Yang was scolded again and rolled her eyes in anger:
"Then why doesn't Judge Wang in Hebei have so many rules?"
Taijun She might also be a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't say that. She had to look around the female generals and explain:
"Chen Zhuan has always been cautious, otherwise it would be troublesome to be reported and impeached."
After saying that, he said excitedly:
"Don't worry, the food and grass should arrive soon."
"Besides, we have already attacked the heart of the bandits, and we will be able to completely eliminate them soon."
Mu Guiying looked at Taijun She worriedly and said:
"Old lady, there seems to be some trace of Liao people among the bandits."
"We need to be extra careful and not regard Tian Hu as an ordinary thief..."
Taijun She nodded and said with disgust:
"I've already thought of it."
"If Tian Hu hadn't been bewitched, how could he have burned down Shengwei Junzhou? This is his hometown anyway."
Just as he was talking, Wu Niang hurried into the tent and said hurriedly:
"Old lady, what's wrong, news just came from the rear. Our food and fodder have been robbed..."
Hearing this, Taijun She stood up in anger and said:
"how so?"
Wu Niang quickly replied:
"Not long after the grain and grass passed through Yuci, they were raided by a remnant bandit, who robbed the grain and grass and hid in the mountains."
Taijun She was silent for a moment, then rubbed her brows helplessly and asked:
"Has the new grain been shipped? How long will it take?"
Wuniang said:
"Taiyuan doesn't have much grain reserves. To prevent another accident, the transportation department plans to wait until the remaining bandits are eliminated before transporting the second batch of grain and grass."
"Master Chen means that if we are short of food and grass, we can withdraw our troops first, and he will explain the truth to the court..."
When Taijun She heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
There are now 15,000 troops stationed in Taiyuan, but they are actually afraid of a small bandit.
Even if you are afraid that your food will be taken away again, you still have to consider the situation on the front line. With an army of more than 10,000 people, can you just retreat if you just say it?
Once Tian Hu discovers the truth, he will definitely take advantage of the situation and pursue him.
Their food supplies have been used up. If they are entangled by the opponent again, their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will be trapped and die on the road.
As soon as he understood the difficulties of the Transportation Department, he was slapped in the face.
Mu Guiying saw that Taijun She was confined to isolation, so she had no choice but to persuade him:
"Old lady, now is not the time to pursue these matters. We should withdraw our troops quickly before Tian Hu discovers the truth."
Mrs. She gritted her teeth for a long time before saying helplessly:
"Send the order to withdraw."
Less than half a day after the Song army broke camp, Tian Hu discovered him and sent troops to chase him.
However, Mu Guiying had anticipated this and personally broke up the enemy's rear and laid an ambush. He defeated more than 20,000 enemy troops in one battle and killed seven or eight bandit generals.
I thought that after such a defeat, Tian Hu would be frightened and dare not continue to entangle.
Unexpectedly, the other party made a desperate move, seemingly determined to keep the Yang family's female general, and actually led his men to chase after her.
However, he was very cautious this time, neither fighting to the death nor giving up. He was just like a hungry wolf, biting tightly behind the Song army, waiting for the Song army to reveal its flaws.
The female general of the Yang family had no choice but to lead her soldiers to retreat while fighting...
Hebei Zhending.
After Taijun She led a group of Yang family female generals to march into Shanxi, Yang Zongbao also began to inspect important passes along the Song and Liao lines.
As the military commander of Hebei Province, this was his duty. Without orders, he could not leave his post without authorization and help Taijun She go to Shanxi to fight.
He was also afraid that the Liao Kingdom would see the civil strife in the Song Dynasty and take advantage of it, so he did not dare to wait at all.
After more than a month, Yang Zongbao hurriedly inspected all the passes and returned to Zhending.
Seeing his bad expression, Jiao Dingguo couldn't help but asked worriedly:
"Zongbao, is it possible that the Liao Kingdom is showing signs of moving south?"
Yang Zongbao shook his head and forced a smile:
"No, brother, don't worry."
"Now Beiliao has too much time to take care of themselves. I don't think they dare to act rashly."
"...at least I don't dare to openly attack my country, the Song Dynasty."
As he spoke, he took the water from Jiao Dingguo and said hesitantly:
"It's just that in the past few days, I've been constantly frightened and restless, and I don't know what's going on."
Seeing that he was worried, Jiao Dingguo quickly comforted him:
"I think you've been on patrol for days and your body has been exhausted. It would be nice to rest for a few days."
Yang Zongbao nodded and said thoughtfully:
"I wonder if the war in Shanxi is going well?"
Jiao Dingguo laughed and said:
"Zong Bao is overly worried. They are just a group of thieves. With the Yang family's ability, aren't they easy to capture?"
As he spoke, he complained a little:
"It's a pity that the Gao family, father and son, and others were transferred away by the court, otherwise you wouldn't have to be so tired."
"Okay, have some food and rest, don't think too much."
After Jiao Dingguo left, Yang Zongbao did feel a little tired. He didn't even take off his outer clothes, so he slept in the Shuai Yamen with all his clothes on.
I don't know how much time passed, while he was in a haze, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside the courtyard, which made him sit up from his sleep in an instant.
I saw a soldier with a crooked helmet running in and saying:
"Marshal Yang, something serious has happened."
"The old lady and the female generals were trapped in Taiyue Mountain by bandits. Their food and grass have been cut off. They are in danger and there is no one to rescue them."
After Yang Zongbao heard this, he immediately woke up, jumped down from the bed in shock, grabbed the messenger and said urgently:
"What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
After the soldiers finished speaking, Jiao Dingguo also rushed over. Hearing about this, he hurriedly said:
"Zongbao, I will lead the troops to rescue you."
Yang Zongbao immediately waved his hand and said:
"Zhending has just quelled the banditry. It is not suitable to send out large numbers of troops, and it is too slow."
"I only took my Qingqi, set out overnight, and returned in a few days..."
After speaking, he immediately started to order, and it only took two quarters of an hour to get everything ready.
Two thousand light cavalry, each carrying two horses, one carrying people and the other carrying food, rumbled out of the true concentration.
Yang Zongbao ran day and night. After a few days, he arrived in Taiyue Mountain. As he was walking, he heard the pathfinder shouting:
"Marshal, the road ahead is blocked by huge rocks..."
Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of cannons, and a loud laugh came from the hilltop on the right:
"Haha, Yang Zongbao, it's you, you came at the right time!"
"After I kill all of your Yang family, I will march into Bianliang, dig up the grave of the foolish king and whip his corpse, and avenge your righteous...father."
