Chapter 137 does not accept the title of minister, and only accepts war reparations

After three days of special practice, Han Zhao confidently found Yue Fei.

"The last general, Han Zhao, after training, I have come to report to Marshal Yue."

To be on the safe side, Yue Fei still decided to test Han Zhao, and this time it was up to him to test it himself.

Yue Fei took Han Zhao to the outside of Youzhou City, and specially ordered people to place many scarecrows at the head of the city, simulating the appearance of the Liao army defending the city.

He also ordered thousands of soldiers to simulate the siege of the city, set up a long ladder, and climbed to the top of the city.

Moreover, Yue Fei also deliberately ordered people to make the offensive order very chaotic, and for a while, the dust outside the city was flying, and people and horses were running around.

"Han Zhao, do you see, this place is about two hundred and fifty steps away from the head of the city, two of the scarecrows at the head of the city are surrounded by the rest of the scarecrows, although their armor is different from the rest, but it is still not difficult to accurately hit the fatal parts. Ben Shuai and you will each shoot an arrow at the head of the city and see who can hit. ”

"The last will obey."

Yue Fei and Han Zhao, riding horses and holding eight-stone bows in their hands, began to accelerate from a distance of five hundred paces from the city gate, and they had to pass through the soldiers running around and reach the right position before they could fire their arrows.

A total of three experiments were conducted, and the arrows were fired from different distances.

At a distance of two hundred and fifty steps, Yue Fei and Han Zhao both accurately hit the scarecrow's head.

Three hundred paces, the two of them hit the scarecrow's head accurately.

Three hundred and fifty steps, the two hit at the same time again......

Han Zhao didn't expect that Yue Fei's archery skills were also superb, and Yue Fei was also full of praise for Han Zhao's archery skills.

"Han Zhao, this commander ordered you to lead five thousand light cavalry to Gubeikou and fall under the command of General Qian Mao, your mission to go to Gubeikou ......"

After Yue Fei finished speaking, seeing that Han Zhao did not immediately receive the order, but was bowing his head and pondering, he asked:

"General Han doesn't have any concerns?"

Han Zhao raised his head, his eyes clear and firm:

"Marshal Yue, the last general doesn't have any concerns, this Yelu Qingtan has seen the last general, this person is known as the first warrior of the Liao Kingdom, but in archery, he is much worse than the last general, and the most important thing is that he also knows the last general."

"The last general is not deliberately boasting in front of Marshal Yue, in Liao, as long as there is a martial arts conference attended by the last general, this archery laurel must belong to the last general, therefore, the last general is also a little famous in Liao."

"The last general is worried that when this Yelu Qingtan sees the last general, he will strengthen his precautions, which will be difficult to start."

After hearing this, Yue Fei patted Han Zhao on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"This question, Ben Shuai taught you a trick, and after you went, you ......"

After hearing this, Han Zhao's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand at Yue Fei and said:

"With Marshal Yue's clever plan, the last general is confident that he will be able to complete the task, and the last general is willing to make a military order."

Yue Fei waved his hand and said:

"You don't need to make any military orders, after you go to this matter, as long as you quietly pass on the order to General Qian and ask him to fully cooperate with you, even if you fail to succeed, the commander will not blame you, ten Yelu Qingtan's heads are not as good as your Han Zhao, you just go and do your best."

Han Zhao's eyes were full of gratitude, he didn't expect Marshal Yue to attach so much importance to me Han Zhao.

"The last general commands."

Han Zhao's original subordinates were all sword and shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers, and there were no light cavalry, this time, Yue Fei handed over a light cavalry of 5,000 people to Han Zhao's command, and his original subordinates stayed in Youzhou first, and when Han Zhao returned, they were still handed over to Han Zhao's command.

Han Zhao led five thousand light horsemen to set off quickly and rushed to the front of Gubeikou Pass.

Qian Mao received Yue Fei's secret order from Han Zhao, and he was also very excited, if Han Zhao could succeed, this would also be a great credit from Marshal Yue to Qian.

Qian Mao, who became famous in the battle of Yijin Pass, was ordered to lead the army to defend Yijin Pass when the main general Zhang Yongde was seriously injured, and repelled the crazy attacks of the Liao army of 300,000 troops several times.

Then, when Yue Fei rushed to support, Qian Mao led the army to attack boldly, directly turning a galloping battle into a war of annihilation, which greatly accelerated the speed of recovering Yanyun.

It can be said that without Qian Mao's contributions, Emperor Guo Rong's body is likely to not be able to recover Youzhou City.

At this time, Yue Fei was also thinking about who would be stationed in Youzhou after the full recovery of Yanyun.

Dugu Sheng doesn't have to think about it, he will definitely follow Yue Fei wherever he goes, he would rather not be a general, as long as he can follow Yue Fei.

Chai Yong and Niu Gao are not handsome, and even the generals are not up to it for the time being.

Li Chongjin is even more impossible, just because he did not listen to the general's order this time, Yue Fei could completely punish him with military law, taking into account the stability of the Humble Army and the Forbidden Army, Yue Fei chose to forbear.

But it doesn't mean that Yue Fei will let Li Chongjin go, and the little emperor Guo Zongxun will not let go of this opportunity to clean up Li Chongjin.

After thinking about it, at present, there is only Qian Mao worth cultivating.

Therefore, Yue Fei sent Han Zhao to Qian Mao.

It happened to be the turn of Qian Mao's department to be responsible for the siege, and Han Zhao led a thousand light cavalry to follow the siege army to the front of Gubeikou Pass.

The besieging army set up a position, but did not immediately attack.

"General Han, it's up to you." Qian Mao said to Han Zhao.

"Vice Marshal Qian, please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission."

Han Zhao rode alone to the front of Gubeikou Pass, and shouted loudly:

"Han Zhao, the captain of the Great Zhou Hanzi Army Cavalry, is here, let Yelu Qingtan come out and answer."

Yelu Qingtan has participated in the battle of defending the city in the past few days, and he is tired enough, but fortunately, this time the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State finally worked together, and the soldiers, horses, grain, grass and ordnance to defend the city were continuously transported from Liaoyang Mansion and other places, which greatly enhanced the fighting spirit and strength of the Liao army to defend the city.

If it continues to be consumed for such a long time, whether it is the Great Zhou or the Liao State, it will be greatly affected in terms of national strength.

When the sun rose again, Yelugentan knew that a new day of fighting was coming.

"The warriors of the Great Liao, we have repelled countless attacks by the Zhou army here, and it has been proved that the army of the Zhou State is nothing more than that, in front of our eagle-like Khitans, they will be torn to pieces by us sooner or later, and the Great Liao will win."

"Whew...... Da Liao Wansheng. ”

"Kill a Zhou soldier and reward hardware, kill a Zhou general, reward 100 gold."

"Whew...... Da Liao Wansheng. ”

At this moment, Han Zhao appeared, and in the eyes of the Liao people, Han Zhao was a traitor.

"Dashuai, then Han Zhao is here alone, and the last general will ask for an order to go out of the city to capture and kill this fang."

In the defensive battle in the past few days, Yelu Qingtan was also very aggrieved, and seeing Han Zhao, a traitor, appear, the Khitan generals who had been depressed for a long time finally broke out.

"Chili, you go, bring Han Zhao's head back to me, be careful, this guy is a sharpshooter."

"Don't worry, this kid is not bad with a bow and arrow, and the rest of his kung fu is very sparse, and the last general will kill him, just like probing for something."

The general of the Liao army named Chili was ordered to go down to the city, rode a big horse, and rushed out of the city with a mace.

"Uh...... Han Zhao, a traitor to Daliao, took his life to ......"

Han Zhao didn't take out his bow and arrows, but took off the tiger's head and golden spear from the victory hook bird's wing ring, and stood quietly on his horse, looking indifferently at Chi Li, who was rushing towards him with a scream.

Seeing Chi Li galloping to the front, Han Zhao picked up his horse, raised his tiger head and golden spear, and rushed towards Chi Li.

Chi Li picked up the mace, hugged his head and smashed it down, eager to directly smash Han Zhao and his men and horses into pulp.

Han Zhao raised the big gun and knocked the mace out with a loud bang.

"That's a lot of strength, wow, eat grandpa again."

The two horses circled, and Han Zhao sneered:

"Akari, you don't have a chance......"

The tiger's head chiseled the golden gun out of the hole like a poisonous snake, and took advantage of Chili's kung fu to raise the stick again, and a shot pierced Chili's heart.

"Get up for me......"

Han Zhao's arms competed, and he directly lifted Chi Li, who was pierced through his heart, high, and then vigorously slammed forward.

Akari's body was tossed out like a broken sack and fell to the ground with a pop.

"Listen on the city tower, ask Yelu Qingtan to come out and answer, don't send someone to send him to death, Han Mou just let you Liao dogs before, you really think you are some kind of warriors, but a group of miscellaneous ...... who only know how to bully women and children"

This was the strategy that Yue Fei told Han Zhao, to ride alone to Gubeikou to fight the enemy and scold the array, looking for an opportunity to shoot Yelu Qingtan with an arrow.

"Dashuai, the last general will ask for battle, I want to avenge the Chiri brothers......"

Another Liao general screamed and asked Yelu Qingtan for battle.

Yelu Qingtan looked at this weird guy, you are not even half of Chili, Han Zhao picked Chili under the horse in one round, you went up, it was even more in vain, and you lost the morale of our army in vain.

"The commander ordered that no one should go to war, this is obviously a trick of the Zhou army, trying to induce us to open the city gate frequently, so that they can launch a surprise attack, and all departments remain vigilant, ready to repel the siege of the Zhou army at any time, and to beat the morale of my Daliao."

Yelu Qingtan was not fooled, not only did he not go out of the city, even if he was on the city tower, he was protected by heavy guards in front of him.

"If you don't go out of the city, then Han has to use another method."

Han Zhao made a gesture towards Qian Mao, and Qian Mao understood, so he raised the flag high and waved it forward.

"The whole army is attacking the city, and today, we must take Gubeikou."

"Kill, kill Liaogou......"

"Da Zhou is mighty, rushing ah ......"

The Great Zhou army was not afraid of death and launched another fierce attack on Gubeikou.

Han Zhao had been shooting arrows at the city head less than two hundred steps away from the city tower, but he couldn't do it in every shot, and it seemed that the soldiers around him who were constantly rushing towards the city had a great impact on Han Zhao.

"Hahaha, Han Zhao, this archer, is nothing more than that, it's okay for him to aim at a dead thing, in this kind of scuffle, he is also a waste."

Yelu Qingtan, under the escort of his own soldiers, also began to appear at the head of the city, and viciously raised his butcher knife to the soldiers of the Zhou army who attacked the city.

Han Zhao turned his horse back, and when he reached a place where there were fewer people, he bent his bow and arrows again and shot in the direction of Yelu Qingtan.

As a result, the arrows were not strong enough to shoot at the head of the city.

Han Zhao moved forward again, but was disturbed by the soldiers attacking the city on the left and right, and even if the arrow hit the city, it was very inaccurate.

"Haha, Han Zhao'er, rice bucket."

Han Zhao repeatedly advanced and retreated several times, and the arrows he shot never even touched within five feet of Yelu Qingtan's side.

In the end, Han Zhao seemed to have given up, and turned his horse and walked back.

"Han Zhao, Ben Shuai is standing here, you are coming, brothers, kill, kill Ben Shuai fiercely......"

Han Zhao glanced back at the head of the city, and about three hundred steps away from the head of the city, he quietly took out the eight-stone bow that Yue Fei had given him from the bow bag hanging next to the saddle bridge.

"It's time to ......"

Han Zhao bent his bow and arrows, looked back at the moon, and saw Yelu Qingtan laughing unscrupulously, while his own soldiers around him were scrambling to slash and kill the Zhou soldiers who attacked the city.

"Whoosh" A sharp arrow shot out from the eight-stone bow, Han Zhao turned his horse back and rushed in the direction of the city tower again.

Immediately, Han Zhao kept bending his bow and arrows, and one arrow was as fast as an arrow......

"Poof" The first arrow hit Yelu Qingtan's neck and throat.

"Poof" is another arrow that hits Yelu Qingtan's left chest.

"Poof" the third arrow, Han Zhao had already rushed to a hundred and fifty steps away from the city gate, and the arrow of the eight-stone strong bow was powerful and heavy, directly piercing Yelu Qingtan's helmet.

Jeregentan screamed and was nailed to the pillar behind him by the last arrow.

With an eight-stone strong bow, Han Zhao can fire three arrows in a row, this is his housekeeping ability.

"Brothers, the commander of the Liao army is dead, kill, rush, ......"

Han Zhao turned over and dismounted, took off the light armor he was wearing in three strokes, threw it on the ground, drew his sword, rushed towards a siege ladder, and rushed towards the city head with a shout.

As soon as Qian Mao saw that Han Zhao had succeeded, he immediately waved the order flag and issued an order for the whole army to attack, and he himself urged the war horse, holding a big sword, and rushed towards the gate of Gubeikou.

"Kill, kill Liaogou......"

"The Liaogou boss is dead, brothers, kill ......"

At the head of the city, there was a great chaos, and Yelu Qingtan was nailed to the pillar of the city tower by Han Zhao's arrow, his eyes were wide open, and his face was incredible.

Moreover, his throat and left chest were also shot through, and he was simply dead and could not die again.

Han Zhao climbed to the top of the city, slashed and killed the soldiers who surrounded him with a few knives, and gave the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty behind him the opportunity to climb to the top of the city one after another.

There were more and more Great Zhou soldiers who climbed to the top of the city, and Han Zhao shouted:

"Brothers, take the city gate with Han......"

Dozens of Great Zhou soldiers followed behind Han Zhao, killed the urn city from the city, killed the city gate, and opened the first city gate.

Qian Mao also led the army to rush in, picking up a big knife and chopping melons and vegetables, slaughtering the Liao soldiers who were still resisting.

"Brothers, follow Han to take the second city gate......"

This time, hundreds of Great Zhou soldiers followed behind Han Zhao, rushed to the city wall again, and killed from the circular corridor to the location of the inner gate of the urn city.

"Brothers, snatch the winch and pull up the jack gate......"

The jack gate at the gate of the outer city was pulled up just now because Chi Li went out of the city to give Han Zhao a head, and he didn't have time to put it down, but there was a jack gate in the inner city.

"Kill, the commander of the Liao Dog is dead, brothers, kill the Liao Dog......"

In the era of cold weapons, the commander is the soul of an army, and the death of the commander is almost equivalent to the collapse of the whole army.

"The big man is not dead, the big man is not dead, the brothers are killed, the men and dogs are killed...... Ah......h

A Liao army general who was shouting was suddenly beheaded by a Liao soldier next to him.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is a Han Chinese, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you first......"

More and more Han Chinese soldiers of the Liao army turned against the water, raising butcher knives and slashing at the Khitans who once bullied them like pigs and dogs.

The inner gate was pulled up, and Qian Mao led the army to rush into the Gubeikou Pass.

"The commander of Liaogou is dead, those who descend will not be killed, and the Han people will not be killed......"

"Those who surrender will not be killed, and the Han people will not be killed...... Kill ......"

Outside the city, the first to find that Gubeikou was breached was the Dugu Shengbu, followed by the Chai Yongbu.

", brothers, hurry up and copy the guys, go into the city and grab people's heads......"

Li Chongjin's troops hid behind Qian Mao, Dugusheng and Chai Yong, and when they found that Gubeikou had been breached, and Li Chongjin hurriedly arrived with his troops, the Great Zhou army had already begun to clean up the battlefield and accept soldiers.

"All the Han soldiers, all come here to gather, hand over their weapons, register one by one, the emperor of the Great Zhou and the common people, welcome you home......"

"All Khitan dogs, kneeling on the ground, put their hands on top of their heads, and those who dare to raise their heads and move around, will be killed......"

Li Chongjin's mouth was like a light bulb stuffed into it, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

In the battle to recover Yanyun, breaking through the Sikou Pass is the first achievement, breaking through Youzhou City is the greatest achievement, and the credit for breaking through Gubeikou is second only to breaking Youzhou City.

The great credit flew again, and Qian Mao was robbed.

Han Zhao was not greedy for merit, because Marshal Yue told him before he came, you don't have to care about the military merits of the expedition to Liao, and if you follow this marshal in the future, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Qian Mao is covered in blood, but his spirit is flying, and my old Qian can finally enter the list of famous generals in the Great Zhou army.

It's good to follow Marshal Yue and His Royal Highness the Prince.

At this time, Li Chongjin, Qian Mao and others did not know that the crown prince Guo Zongxun, who was far away in Kaifeng, had ascended the throne as emperor.

At the same time that Gubeikou was breached, Kaifeng's envoy Lu Duan also came to Youzhou City with a secret letter from the new emperor Guo Zongxun.

"Xiaguan congratulates the emperor, congratulates Marshal Yue, and recovers Yanyun, which is really happy."

"Thanks to the wisdom and wisdom of my Great Zhou Emperor, and thanks to the courage and courage of my Great Zhou soldiers, I can finally return Yanyun Hanmin a bright future."

Yue Fei invited Lu Duan into the secret room, and Lu Duan held the secret letter of the new emperor Guo Zongxun and said:

"Yue Fei, deputy marshal of the Great Zhou Soldiers and Horses, took the order."

"The minister is here."

Yue Fei knelt down and bowed to Lu Duan, who was holding the new emperor's secret letter.

In Guo Zongxun's secret letter, he specially told Yue Fei that once the Gubeikou was breached, if the Liao State sent an envoy to the peace talks again, he would pass on the will of the emperor Guo Rong and order the crown prince Lu Duan to be fully responsible for negotiating with the Liao State.

"I don't want to destroy the Liao State now, the Liao land is bitter cold, and now is not suitable for our army to be stationed for a long time, let the Liao people toss it by themselves first, I am very much looking forward to what Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan will do in the Liao country."

"Regarding the peace talks, I have a few requirements, the first is not to allow the Liao State to call me a minister of the Great Zhou, let them go to the emperor's name, and change their names to the Khitan lord."

"Lost the opportunity to exploit Yanyun, except for cattle, sheep and horses, I can't look down on the rest of the Liao Kingdom for the time being, so let them pay tribute to the Great Zhou every year, remember, it is not a tribute, but a war reparation, and they will return it ten times and a hundred times the hard-earned money they have squeezed my Yanyun Hanmin for the past twenty years."

"The Great Zhou army, based on Youzhou, expanded the cavalry establishment, with every 5,000 cavalry as a brigade, and went out of Gubeikou from time to time to plunder the material population of Liaodi, one is to train soldiers, and the other is to let Liao Dog taste the taste of being robbed and enslaved."

"If Liaogou dares to fight back, I will definitely gather heavy troops to level it."

"The above terms are the basis for negotiations, and the Liao State must accept them in their entirety before talking about other things, and I have authorized Lu Duan to deal with them with all the powers."

Now that Liao is destroyed, the territorial front of the Great Zhou will be stretched too long, and it will be difficult to take care of the beginning and the end.

According to Guo Zongxun's strategic concept, after cleaning up the Liao State, it is time to clean up the cats and dogs of the Northern Han, Southern Tang, and Western Shu.

It's not that Guo Zongxun doesn't know what good things are in the Liaodong Plain, but he can't use them now, and he doesn't know that the Northeast is the largest granary in China, but he can't use them now.

The current Chinese granary, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, in Wuyue, the name of the land of fish and rice is very long.

As for his father Guo Rong, Guo Zongxun also gave an explanation.

After the dust settles on the negotiations with the Liao State, the edict of the former emperor will be announced to the world, and all places will mourn and hold a national funeral.

There is another important reason, that is, Li Yun, the Marquis of An Lehou in Chang'an, has been found to be preparing for rebellion, and the party tribe is also ready to move.

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin, and perhaps other anti-Jie Du envoys, are all staring at Kaifeng and the throne of the Great Zhou Emperor.

At this time, if the Great Zhou army is allowed to leave Gubeikou, once the Central Plains changes and the reinforcements are not available, it will cause great turmoil in the Great Zhou region.

These are all things that Guo Zongxun must consider.

"Chen Yue Fei took the order."

After Yue Fei received the order, he drafted an edict in the name of Emperor Guo Rong with Lu Duan, transferring Qian Mao, the deputy commander of the Huzi Army, back to garrison Youzhou, and Yue Fei personally raised 200,000 Huzi troops and stationed them in Gubeikou.

In the first battle of Gubeikou, 150,000 of the 200,000 Liao troops were captured, of which 70,000 Han soldiers were immediately recruited, and 80,000 Khitan soldiers were escorted back to Kaifeng to offer prisoners.

This kind of achievement that demonstrates the prestige of the Great Zhou army and the country must be celebrated by the emperor and the people in the capital Kaifeng, and the Great Zhou Emperor must personally arrange how to deal with these Khitan surrenders.

Liaoyang Mansion, Tokyo, Liaoguo, is full of wailing and gloomy.

First, 300,000 main forces were annihilated in front of Yijin Pass, and then 200,000 elites were annihilated in Gubeikou.

The entire territory of Yanyun was occupied by the Great Zhou army, and the once invincible Khitans were completely destroyed in just a few months.

Yelu Huge's father, Yelu Xuansi, took advantage of the chaos to launch a mutiny, killed the Liao emperor Yelu Shulu, and became the new emperor of Liao.

Then, he sent someone to send the head and box containing Yelu Shulu to Gubeikou along with the surrender letter, and asked the Great Zhou Emperor to surrender.

What Yelu Wansi never expected was that the Great Zhou Emperor did not accept the invitation to surrender at all, and my Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty did not need to wait for the Khitan to surrender.

If you don't want to be destroyed, send someone to negotiate.

Yelu Wansi was overjoyed, could it be that the emperors of the Zhou State were very kind, and their Confucian benevolence and holy virtue of governing the world had reoccupied the high ground of the brain?

"Crown Prince, what do you think?"

In the gloomy Liao Palace, Xiao Yanyan looked at Brother Yelu Xiu, who had just been canonized as the crown prince of Liao, and asked with a smile.
