Pan Weixi heard that Yelu Longxu was gathering troops, and after a little silence, he took over the military power in Cui Huaiqing's hands and restarted the defense of other states, Yang Yanzhao sent a handwritten letter to Pan Weixi on the second day after receiving the report of the attack on Youzhou, saying that after his troops arrived in Youzhou, he would immediately take over the defense affairs of Youzhou City, and the deployment of other states in Yanyun would also be temporarily managed by him before Yang Yanzhao's army arrived.

Yanyun garrison three years before this, has been in charge of Cui Huaiqing, Cui Huaiqing took over Yang Yanzhao's position after squatting in the land of Yanyun for three years, although his own ability to march and fight in general, but in the end is in the capital's official circle for more than 20 years, the basic skills of the official still have, these three years, the generals who are dissatisfied with him in the army have been replaced by him, this through rectification, the power in the army has almost been caught in his hands.

If Yang Yanzhao arrives, and there is an emperor's decree, Yang Yanzhao wants to seize the military power in his hands, even if he is unwilling, but he does not dare to resist more, now Pan Weixi is a descendant, the official position is not as big as him, and he wants to seize power as soon as he comes up, where is Cui Huaiqing willing to easily let go of power, the two sides immediately entered a kind of bow and crossbow situation, the current situation is very sensitive and tense, if the two generals of the Song army in order to fight for power, make a lot of trouble, let the Liao people rush to the opportunity to enter, it is really terrible.

However, Pan Weixi was known as the first person among the young generals in Kyoto, this head was not called in vain, Cui Huaiqing refused to let go of power, Pan Weixi directly used iron-blooded means to put him under house arrest, and then took out the emperor's holy decree and Marshal Yang Yanzhao's handwriting, and replaced those unqualified generals who were in their positions and did not seek their posts with the speed of wind and thunder, but it took a few days to seize the military power of several major cities in You, Ji, and Ying.

Yingzhou as the main pass to Liao, this city has the most garrisons, a total of 50,000 people are stationed, and You, Ji is the main gateway to the Central Plains, but also the two most important cities in the Central Plains in the sixteen states of Yanyun, there are 10,000 garrisons here for a long time, and the other five states, each state has only a few thousand soldiers and horses, Pan Weixi seized the military power of these three states, that is, he mastered the overall situation, and then took over the horse soldiers of other states, it became a matter of course.

After Cui Huaiqing was placed under house arrest, he scolded Pan Weixi every day, Pan Weixi turned a deaf ear to this, Cui Huaiqing, as a general of the court, did not have an edict from the court, and other people were not qualified to deal with him, Pan Weixi treated him like this, it was obviously a bit overstepping, but at this time, the situation was urgent, but he couldn't manage so much.

Although Cui Huaiqing is the son of Jiangmen, his ability to fight is really average, if the Liao people really wave their troops up, trying to let him block the pace of the Liao people is tantamount to a fool's dream, which can only be seen from the small-scale raid of the Liao soldiers a few days ago, Pan Weixi came to Youzhou and figured out what Cui Huaiqing had done in Yanyun over the years, and couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, he was infinitely glad that Cui Huaiqing had not taken over Yanyun for too long, and the Empress Dowager Liaoxiao had not been in good health since the year before and died last year, that is to say, in the past two years, the Liao people themselves had many internal problems, and there was no time to take care of Cui Huaiqing, otherwise, with the existing strength of the Liao people, once they figured out Cui Huaiqing's skills, they only had to gather tens of thousands of troops, and with a wave of it, they would immediately break down Cui Huaiqing's defense line, and snatch back the Yanyun Bazhou that Taizong had finally recaptured.

Yang Yanzhao was with the army, 50,000 of the 85,000 troops behind him were infantry, and there were countless grains and grasses, the speed of the march was destined not to be fast, and when all the troops came, it would take at least half a month, if before that, Yanyun's garrison could not be put in order at the first time, once the Liao army rushed up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the evening of August 10, Pan Weixi stood under the city wall of Youzhou, looking at the reckless mountains and the Great Wall outside the city, when a general under his command came to his side, smiled and said: "General, in four or five days, Yang Shuai's army will enter Youzhou City, and the Liao people have not moved at all, it seems that this battle cannot be fought." ”

"It's too early to say this, according to the news obtained by our army, this Yelu Longxu is not an incompetent faint king, the current Liao people are not evenly matched, but because the power has been controlled by the Empress Dowager Xiao before, and now Xiao Taijun died not long ago, Yelu Longxu has just been in power, everyone is not convinced, Yelu Longxu wants to centralize power as soon as possible, the best way is to fight a big victory, and Liao and various tribes have basically been integrated into the Great Liao over the years, and their biggest enemy is my Great Song."

"This battle is going to be fought, naturally it is to find the Great Song Dynasty to fight, but how to fight the battle, but it is exquisite, originally he planned to tend to the chaos of the secluded and thistle, and take several states first with the momentum of wind and thunder, but he didn't expect that because of their internal discord, procrastinating, delaying the fighter, since he lost the opportunity, the previous strategy naturally can't be used, what will he do next, I can't figure out his pulse for a while, in short, before Yang Shuai arrives, we can't have a moment of slackness." Pan Weixi shook his head and said calmly.

Pan Weixi is now 29 years old, entered the military camp at the age of 16, has been 13 years, he has been bright since childhood, familiar with military books, extraordinary strategy, under the influence of his father Pan Mei, has a natural keen intuition for marching and fighting, is a rare promising general.

On the night of his dialogue with the army, the Liao people moved, a team of 3,000 people touched the city of Jizhou that night, Jizhou has 20,000 garrison troops, and the general of the city is Yang Yanzhao's subordinate veteran Yang Wei, Yang Wei before this because he was not used to Cui Huaiqing's way of governing the army, put forward several opinions, annoyed Cui Huaiqing, and was demoted by him to join the army without real power.

After Pan Weixi came to Youzhou, he lifted him up again and ordered him to guard Jizhou City, Yang Wei is Yang Yanzhao's old subordinate, he has been a general in the land of Yanyun, a man in his forties, he used to deal with the Liao army, as soon as he took over Jizhou, he re-deployed his troops, and waited for him, and the Liao people quietly touched the city of Jizhou, although he was surprised, but there was no chaos.

The two sides had a fierce battle, seeing that it was almost dawn, the enemy could not do anything, so he quietly fled, the enemy army of 3,000 men and horses, the casualties were about more than 1,000, and the casualties of the defenders of Jizhou were as high as more than 3,000 people, this encounter, although the enemy failed to break through the city, it was obvious that the overall combat strength of the Liao army was much stronger than that of the Song army.
