Cao Guangbi scouted wherever he went, and every time he looked at the Liao army barracks, he returned to the place. The spy system built by Yang Yingqi and Ouyang Shi successively went deep into the interior of the Liao State, and the generals of the Han Department had a clear idea of the road to march, and the Jin army's advance speed was extremely fast.

At the beginning, after Yeluchun was registered as the marshal, as Zhi Yanchong expected, he played the idea of being able to make peace with the people, and not being able to make peace with the defense. Huining and Yelu Chun were humble and wronged, and as soon as the Tokyo Daoma was fat and fed, they immediately tore their faces and launched a big attack. This time the army pressed the border so suddenly for the Liao people that Yeluchun was in a hurry.

After Cao Guangbi camped that night, Xiao Tienu came to join him, and when the two brothers met, Cao Guangbi sneered: "Don't you often say that your people are used to living in their own tents? What are you doing in my barracks? ”

Xiao Tienu didn't blush at all, and said: "Second brother, you have the best garrison here in the world, and we can even lie down and sleep with you." ”

Cao Guangbi's camp was strict, and when facing the enemy, every sergeant had to lie down with the armor and sleep with the soldiers. There are all kinds of tools and measures to prevent the attack camp, only to the sentry post theory, each time the camp will choose a high ground to erect a sentry tower, the tower is equipped with the "cat's eye glass lamp" made by the Han craftsman, it is to put the lamp into an opaque lantern, open a small hole to transmit light, the interior is pasted with reflective glass in all directions, according to the adjusted angle to focus the light on the glass opposite the small hole, the reflected beam is round and straight, can shine several miles away. In addition, all kinds of equipment are extremely complete, and it is difficult to describe them for a while.

That night, the two brothers lay in the same tent, Cao Guangbi told some stories of famous generals in ancient times, Xiao Tienu listened to one and scolded one another, until the fourth watch, Cao Guangbi said: "Sleep, there will be a war tomorrow." ”

Xiao Tienu suddenly moved and said, "Do you think the Liao army will come to attack at night?" It's the fourth watch, and it's the best time for the night attack. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the tuk tuk tuk come one after another, this is a signal that someone is coming, the enemy is still far away, so he did not beat the drum of the police barracks, but only reported to the boss with a relay bamboo tube.

Xiao Tienu knew about this system, so when he heard it, he jumped up and said, "I'll take someone first, and you will come later!" "Before he finished speaking, the person was out of the account.

Cao Guangbi sent the sentry to ask, and it turned out that a group of people of unknown origin moved to this side by taking advantage of the night, and were peeped through by the "cat's eye glass lamp" three or four miles away. Most of the men were attacking the camp, and they were still moving on, as if they had not noticed that their whereabouts had been revealed.

Cao Guangbi hurriedly sent orders to prepare for war, and when the deputy general and the generals of various ministries gathered, Xiao Tienu had already led people to rush over, and when Cao's army and horses were ready, the front had already been killed, Cao Guangbi ordered to go out of the camp to respond, and sighed in his heart: "The sixth man's men and horses are one step ahead of me after all!" ”

This time it was Guo Yaoshi's resentful army, they didn't expect the night attack to fail, but they were caught off guard by Xiao Tienu. Guo Yaoshi retreated to the base camp of the resentful army, Tribulus Mountain, Xiao Tienu rampaged in front, Cao Guangbi followed closely step by step, Guo Yaoshi retreated to the vicinity of Tribulus Mountain, the resentful army of Tribulus Mountain came out to respond, and Cao Guangbi also came from behind, and the two sides actually fought at this time and place that neither side expected. The number of resentful troops is relatively large, but it is not as good as the elite of the Han Army, and it is already in defeat at the time of the battle, so the attack is not enough to break through Cao Guangbi's strict formation, and the defense cannot be the edge of Xiao Tienu.

When other troops of the Liao army heard the wind and came to help, these soldiers and horses entered the battlefield, and suddenly the killing sound behind the Han Department shook the sky, but it was Hulugu, Digunai and others who led the troops. As soon as this new force joined, the Liao army's heart collapsed, and Guo Yaoshi saw that he was invincible and led his headquarters to flee in a hurry, and his other departments were even more chaotic.

Guo Yaoshi fled directly to the southern part of Zhongjing Province and then stationed on the horse, while restraining the defeated soldiers, and on the other hand, collecting grain and conscription on the spot. In a few days, a decent team was formed. His lieutenant asked him where he was going in the future, and Guo Yaoshi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to join up with the other Liao divisions to listen to Yelu Chun's command.

The lieutenant said: "We are defeated this time, but I am afraid that we will be severely punished when we go back." ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "Heavy punishment? Kill us, how many people and horses can Da Liao rely on? Yelu Dashi on the South Road? Or is it the often defeated general Yelu Yu on the East Road? Do you think it's still the same year? Or can the Khitans kill us aliens whenever they want? Speaking of this, he looked to the northeast and then to the southwest, and no one except himself knew the true meaning of his two eyes: Da Liao saw that it was no longer possible, and the future of himself and the resentful army should be to defect to Dajin or attach to the Great Song Dynasty?

The non-Khitan ethnic groups in Daliao are definitely not the only ones thinking about the same problem at this moment. And Zhao Lumin, Liu Jie and others, who had been involved with the Han Ministry for a long time, did not hesitate in this regard. When the Liao court conscripted the rich people to offer martial soldiers and horses, they didn't even let out a single family member, and only handed over dozens of horses as prevarication. After they did this, they were also worried, afraid that the Khitans would severely punish them, and Zhao Lumin even quietly moved his family to Jinmen just in case, but the result they waited for was: because officials at all levels either passed the buck to each other or took care of themselves, the matter was unexpectedly closed.

After this incident, this group of people saw through the incompetence of the Liao court, and Liu Jie finally made up his mind to move the base camp to Liaokou, and the goods and horses that had been hoarded for many years were quietly transported to southern Liaoning in batches on the coast of the Bohai Sea.

When Liu Jie met Yang Yingqi for the first time, in addition to bringing various news from Yanyun and Zhongjing, he also presented 300 war horses and 2,400 volumes of books. Yang Yingqi unceremoniously accepted the books and war horses, and set aside a large area on the ground in Kaizhou for Liu Jie as a pasture, which allowed him to operate and trade independently in addition to accepting the control of Han horses leaving the country.

Liu Jie was overjoyed, and offered the technique of "flying birds to transmit messages". Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "Your family still has this unique job!" Why don't you offer it sooner! After a pause, he said, "What more should I give you?" ”

Liu Jie hurriedly said: "Allowing my family to run such a large horse farm is already a great reward for Ze and his descendants, and I dare not ask for anything else." ”

Yang Yingqi smiled: "Then put it aside first." I'll keep it in my mind though. ”

The Battle of Tribulus Hill broke down the Liao people's hard-working defense line in the east. Before the arrival of the Spring Festival in the third year of Jin Tianfu, Hulugu, Cao Guangbi and others swept through Zhongjing Road, and Xiao Tienu's troops were within the reach of Huizhou, which was close to Zhongjing of Liao State, and surrendered. Both Zhongjing and Shangjing in Daliao were finally exposed to the Jin army's field of vision.

Yang Pu looked at the spy report and said to Yang Yingqi: "Now Qianzhou, Yizhou, Haozhou, Huizhou, Chengzhou, Sichuanzhou, and Huizhou have all been taken into our pocket, and the Jingdao in Daliao has almost no barrier to our army. If General Xiao is ordered to ride south......"

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "No! That's pretty much the end of the battle. The forward forces are exhausted, and the strength of the Liao people in Zhongjing is unknown, so they cannot be reckless. Besides, this time Huining's side didn't seem to plan to destroy Liao in one fell swoop, otherwise it would not be Hulugu and the second brother who would lead the attack, but it would definitely be important ministers such as Xieye and Hulu - or even the lord of the country himself. Daikin is expanding too fast and needs time to digest the territory it has already eaten. Therefore, this march should be a preparation for the next peace talks. If our army wants to advance westward again, we should have to wait. ”

Yang Pu asked, "Wait?" How long will that be? ”

"It's hard to say." Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years." But whether we fight or not, we both have something to do. It seems that the ship of the Great Song Secret Envoy has already entered the port, and it is time to make arrangements. ”
