Then the Liao army saw that our super army was about to be encircled, so they carried Yelu Huge, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, to break out, and our Mo Lin army was almost completely wiped out, and the rest of the people were also concerned about General Mo Xun lying on the ground, even if they wanted to stop it, they couldn't stop it, and when General Cao arrived, they wanted to organize all the armies to fight against the Liao army together, but the Liao army shouted that Emperor Taizong was captured by them, and at this time the army's morale was completely chaotic, and it was completely impossible to organize a phalanx that effectively faced the enemy. The army fled to Zhuozhou in the south in a panic, and General Cao had no choice but to lead us to flee to Zhuozhou with the army. As soon as we arrived at a place to set up camp, we found that the light cavalry of the Liao army not far away arrived with torches, so the camp was in chaos again, shouting that the Liao army was coming. So he hurriedly fled again, and those who got on their horses and ran quickly escaped, and those who ran slowly and lagged behind were all killed by the Liao army behind. So our whole army arrived at a place and was just about to catch its breath, when the Liao people came again, and the army had to continue running. It wasn't until dawn that I found that there were only five or six hundred Liao cavalry behind me, but each of them was holding two torches in their hands, and the swords in the other hand had already been cut and curled, and they were even replaced with the swords of our Great Yan Dynasty.

That is to say, in one night, our more than 100,000 Great Yan Dynasty was pursued and killed by the Liao State District of five or six hundred light cavalry troops, except for the nearly 10,000 people who were besieged and killed by the Liao army on all sides due to the previous siege battle, three or four thousand people were killed by the six hundred cavalry without resistance in one night.

Later, the city of Zhuozhou was preparing for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and at this time, Yang Ye, the former general of the Northern Han Dynasty, rushed to Zhuozhou with the grain and grass supplies behind, and we learned that Emperor Taizong was not captured by the Liao army.

It turned out that Emperor Taizong was hurrying away and fled south; However, the sky is getting dark, the vast is indistinguishable, the distance is seven high and eight low, the wilderness is very difficult, and the sound of shouting and killing behind is endless, even Taizong's personal guards, and they are also scattered along the way. Taizong looked at the panic around him, and the more panicked he became, even the horse staggered and couldn't run over. Taizong was very anxious, only tightened the reins of the horse, and beat it with a whip, the horse couldn't bear the pain, no matter what hardships and dangers, he simply scurried, collapsed, fell into the quagmire, and hurriedly called the guards to help, who knew that there was no one left and right, only a team of soldiers and horses not far away rushed over with torches, because the army of the Great Yan Dynasty did not bring torches when they took it out, and only the Liao army chased after him, so Emperor Taizong couldn't help but look up to the sky at this time and shouted: 'I was mistaken by Cui Han, I went through the crisis, and now it's too late to regret it, I really shouldn't listen to him, Otherwise, you are the Son of Heaven, the body of ten thousand gold, where will you be hit by two arrows in the thigh, it seems that my life is over! ’。

When Emperor Taizong was just waiting to die with his eyes closed, this group of torches at this time was none other than Yang Ye, who refused to surrender even to the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty before. This time, he happened to be in charge of escorting the grain and grass of the Liao army. Just arrived here, and when he saw Emperor Taizong sighing in the quagmire, he hurriedly dismounted and paid homage, saying, 'Weichen is late to save the car, please forgive the emperor!' At this time, where would Emperor Taizong blame him, it would naturally be better if someone would let him out, so Yang Ye waded in the quagmire and hugged Emperor Taizong from the horse trapped in the quagmire. Give it to his son Yang Yanzhao on the shore, and then let Yang Yanzhao give up the good horse to Emperor Taizong.

Because Emperor Taizong had an arrow wound in his leg, he naturally couldn't ride a horse at this time, so he said, 'How can a general kill the enemy without a horse, I can't ride his horse, you just find me a donkey cart.' Because Yang Ye was escorting grain and grass, there were a lot of donkey carts, so Emperor Taizong rode back to Jinnantun on the donkey cart escorting grain and grass.

And Yang Ye rushed to Zhuozhou with grain and grass, only to have the scene just said, the Emperor Taizong was not captured to General Pan and others, at this time, because General Pan is the supreme commander of the Liao, so everyone let General Pan take the idea, at that time General Pan only said that he wanted to follow the holy car, and it was important to protect the holy car, saying that Emperor Taizong was not fast on a donkey cart, and there was no army around him, so he said that he wanted to rush to the emperor's side immediately. In fact, everyone knows that the main reason is that General Pan saw that the army was already ready to fight, so he wanted to go home early, so he said so.

Because General Yang Yeyang was a general, Emperor Taizong didn't trust him very much, but just let him be in charge of the grain and grass escort in the rear. At this time, the morale of the troops led by General Yang was still very good, so he expressed his opinion at that time: 'My father and son's weak divisions dare to fight a bloody battle with the Liao State, and you are all a hundred battle heroes, and you are all elite soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty, don't you dare to fight with the Liao army?' ’

General Pan looked ashamed, thinking that General Yang was just a general, and he was loyal to my Great Yan Dynasty, we are all famous generals in a hundred battles, and we have destroyed nine countries one after another, and we are afraid of what he is afraid of Liao. Therefore, the army was reorganized and prepared to return to the division to fight again.

But at this time, the Liao army because the commander Yelu Xiuge was seriously injured by General Mo Heng and fell into a coma, and there was no time to pursue our Great Yan Dynasty army. Of course, in order to prevent the Liao army from attacking south, he ordered the generals to lead the army to stay, and Cui Han and Meng Yuanzhe led the army to garrison Dingzhou; let Liu Tinghan and Li Hanqiong's troops be stationed in Zhenzhou; Cui Yanjin led the army to the south of Qigou Pass. The above armies are all under the command of Liu Tinghan, and they can act at the opportune point. Emperor Taizong also left a battle formation map, so that the soldiers were stationed in eight formations to ambush the Liao army, and said that the Liao army would definitely come to the south to invade the border of our Great Yan Dynasty, so let them ambush and attack according to the formation map, and they would definitely be able to achieve a big victory.

The rest of the army returned to Kaifeng, Tokyo. After Emperor Taizong returned to the court, he hurriedly investigated and punished the crime of the failure of the Northern Expedition. Shou Zhong Shu Order, Xijing Stay in Shi Shou Xin, because of 'supervising the former army out of discipline', demoted to Chongxin Festival Envoy, and also Zhong Shu Order; Zhangxin Jiedu demoted Liu Yu to Suzhou Observer, and Gwangju Assassin Shi Qi was demoted to Wuding Army Sima. Our general Cao was demoted to the envoy of the Xiongzhou Festival, and has been on the border until now, and the military division is because the Northern Expedition has been mentioning some strategies and policies that Emperor Taizong does not like, and even in Zhuozhou, he thought that Emperor Taizong was captured by the Liao army and proposed to support Zhao Dezhao, the second prince of Taizu, as the emperor, so he has always held a grudge, and at this moment he separated the military division from the military and could not be requisitioned forever. When Liu Baiqing said this, Cao Yi, Red Sleeves and Raider all looked at Wang Zhiyuan and found that Wang Zhiyuan also looked embarrassed.

Then Liu Baiqing continued: "At that time, the army complained that Emperor Taizong only punished and did not reward, and they all discussed it in private, everyone thought that the defeat of the Battle of Gaoliang River should be punished, but even the promised to conquer Taiyuan and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty was not rewarded, which was too wrong.

Because our Molin army was already the few old Zhending army left under General Cao's command, but it was also the first to lose more than 600 people when the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and only more than 1,800 people remained, and later when the Northern Expedition to the Liao State besieged Youzhou City, when Emperor Taizong sent us to attack the victorious Liao State Tun Army, there were more than 300 people less, and then when Youzhou City was forced to climb the city wall, more than 500 people were sacrificed. Even in the end, in order to protect Emperor Taizong's return to protect the car, he and the commander of the Liao army, Yelu Huge, the king of the Southern Court of Liao, Yelu Xuan, and the prime minister of the southern mansion of Liao, Ye Lu Sha, each encountered a thousand elite soldiers, at that time, in order to save Emperor Taizong, and for General Mo Heng to relieve the siege, and they fought bloodily to the end, although they killed more than 2,500 people of the commanders of the Liao army for more than two years, as a result, there were only a few dozen people left in the more than 1,000 Molin battalions, if General Cao and Wang Junshi arrived in time, I am afraid that the Molin battalion will be wiped out! When Liu Baiqing said this, she was already in tears, obviously immersed in the pain of losing her robe in one day. Even the Red Sleeves and the Raider had already covered their mouths at this time, and tears were dripping from their eyes.

After a while, waiting for Liu Baiqing to recover his strength, he continued: "At that time, the Molin Battalion, which was full of 2,500 people, even if General Mo Hengmo was added, there were only forty-four people left, and later seventeen people died because of their injuries, so when it came to Kaifeng in the capital, there were only twenty-seven people left in the Molin Battalion. At that time, Emperor Taizong refused to reward the army because of the failure of the Northern Expedition, and even the Molin Army, which had done its best to protect Emperor Taizong's safety during the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Liao State, did not intend to reward Emperor Taizong at all. ”
