Song Taizong listened to Yang Yiyi say that Zhao Yuanzuo's light skills were learned from a white-haired Taoist priest, and after being stunned for a while, Huo Di stood on the high platform and said excitedly: "General Yang, tell me quickly, what did Chong'er see after performing light skills and jumping up the big tree!" ”

Yang He must have smiled and said, "After the prince jumped up the big tree with light skills, he saw hundreds of Liao Tartar soldiers hidden in the reeds; These Tartar soldiers originally had hair on their heads, that is, they were threshing on the top of their heads, but at this moment each of them had a piece of linen cloth on their heads to make a head; This is for fear of being recognized and disguised, and the prince really didn't recognize it clearly when he saw it; But the smell of sheep on their bodies wafted in the wind, and the prince concluded that this was the Khitan people of Liao! ”

Yang Yiyi laughed twice and raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by pretending to be a thief and not like a baby?" The costume of the Tartar soldier is that! ”

Yang Yiyi recounted with relish, and listened to Song Taizong and the full hall of civil and military ministers stunned; But they were all deceived by Yang Yiyi.

These things about Zhao Yuanzuo that Yang Yiyi talked about actually happened to Liu Min, but Zhao Yuanzuo was really a fat woman riding a thin donkey.

Anyway, neither Song Taizong nor the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had ever been to the scene of killing the enemy in the river, and it was all up to Yang Yiyi's mouth; Yang Heyi said that these things were done by Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuanzuo did them.

Whether the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs believes it or not is another matter, but Song Taizong believes it; Song Taizong knows this son very well, and he has been stubborn since he was a child; so that the other sons could hardly match the guns and sticks.

After Yang Yiyi finished the above words, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to look around; The mood was even fuller, and he said: "The prince squatted on the branch of the big tree and smelled the smell of the Tartar soldiers, and was about to leave after concluding that this was a group of Khitan Tartars; But when he saw that the reeds were shaking not far from the big tree, the prince immediately shouted in his heart, 'There is material'; he flew down with lightning speed, jumped on the place where the reeds were shaking, and grabbed a thin old man who was chirping! ”

"Chong'er has captured the Tartar soldiers!" Song Taizong couldn't wait to ask: "The thin old man must be the Liao army!" ”

"Wrong!" Yang Yiyi said solemnly: "The thin old man is Zheng Da, a horse herder at the Tianzhuling Horse Farm, who was forced to be a guide by Xiao Tzuyong, the king of the Yue Dynasty of Liao; But taking advantage of its chaos, he escaped and fell into the hands of the prince! ”

"So Chong'er caught the wrong person!" Song Taizong lamented with regret.

Yang Yiyi smiled wryly: "The prince didn't arrest the wrong person, although it was the guide Zheng Da who was arrested; But this Zheng Da knows the ins and outs of the Khitan Tartars very clearly! ”

"I see!" Song Taizong became excited again, took a few steps on the high platform, raised his arm and said, "General Yang, tell me quickly, how will things progress next!" ”

"The next thing is that the prince will take the caught Zheng Da away from the reeds and come to a bend on the bank of the river!" Yang Yiyi said excitedly: "The crown prince took Zheng Da to the place where the river bank turned the corner, and asked Zheng Da to tell him what he knew; Zheng Da poured walnuts and talked about it! ”

The following is Yang Heyi's statement of what Zheng Da said:

The old slave is a horse trainer in the Tianzhuling Horse Farm, and my master is the general of the imperial court, Huyanzan, who is called General Yan, and General Huyan has a granddaughter named Huyan Jin'er; It is used by the god of Fan pear blossom in the Tang Dynasty.

Today, an old slave and his apprentice were training horses in the pasture, but they saw hundreds of cavalry coming from the central pasture; The old slave felt strange and went over to investigate, they turned out to be Khitans from Liao; Flattered by the order of the Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuo, he infiltrated the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty and attempted to burn down the Fenghe Cang, Fenggu Cang, and Fengyu Cang of the imperial court.

To explain the cause and effect of the matter, we have to start with the summer and Suiding difficult festivals.

It is also known as the military festival and the Xia Sui (silver) festival, which is the festival degree envoy set up by the Tang Dynasty in the northwest region.

In 881 A.D., the leader of the party, Tuoba Sigong, was seized here; It was the predecessor of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Tuoba Sigong was named the envoy of the Dingyan Army and given the surname Li because he suppressed the Huangchao Uprising for the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family received the Dingyan Army for generations.

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the policy of Chongwen and military suppression was implemented, and the military power was restored to the imperial court; The Li family of the Dingyan Army has become de facto independent, and it is intolerable.

However, the Great Song Dynasty court has not taken action against the Dingyan army, because the successive Jiedu envoys of the Dingyan army have always behaved more obediently and obediently; so that the Song Dynasty could not find excuses and reasons, and secondly, the Great Song Dynasty had more urgent things to do, and it was temporarily unable to free up its hands to clean up the difficult army; Another reason is that the Dingyan Army is weaker than other separatist forces, and it can't get on the stage of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty wanted to solve the problem of the difficult army after cleaning up the Northern Han regime, when Li Jiyun died and his brother Li Jisheng succeeded him as the envoy of Jiedu.

Li Jisheng thinks that he is young and not qualified enough to convince the public; Therefore, he took the opportunity to report on his work in Bianliang, Tokyo, to express his original intention to the Song Dynasty to pay the land under his jurisdiction, and the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and accepted Li Jisang's invitation.

Li Jizhen's behavior caused dissatisfaction within the Dingyan Army, and his brother Li Jiqian jumped the highest.

Li Jiqian's family was the hereditary defense envoy of Yinzhou, and his birthplace was later named after him as Li Jiqian Village.

After Li Jiqian heard that Li Jitou had donated land, he organized and led various departments of the party and clan to rebel against the Song Dynasty with his younger brother Li Jichong, his confidant Zhang Pu and others, and attacked the prefectures and counties everywhere; The Song Dynasty was in turmoil in the northwest.

At this time, Song Taizong reappointed Li Jizhuang as the envoy of the difficult festival and asked him to quell the rebellion, and after Li Jisheng arrived in office, he passively quelled the rebellion and secretly contacted Li Jiqian to support Li Jiqian.

The imperial court sent Beidi Yin, Xia, Sui, Fu, Feng, Yu, Jing, Lin, and Hong Kyushu to inspect Cao Guangshi to arrest Li Jiqian, and Li Jiqian's thieves actually used treacherous tricks to deceive and kill Cao Guangshi.

After Cao Guangshi died for the country, the imperial court sent Tian Renlang, the prefect of Qinzhou, and Li Jilong, the general, to crusade against Li Jiqian, and Li Jiqian was difficult to hide and take refuge in the Liao State; Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao married the daughter of her clan to Li Jiqian, and also appointed Li Jiqian as the king of Xia.

After Li Jiqian was appointed as the king of Xia by the Liao Dynasty, Han Derang, the concubine of Empress Dowager Xiao, formulated a plan to "dig out the heart of the tiger"; Let Yu Yue's great heavenly king Xiao Tzuyong lead 300 Tielin troops to Xiazhou as an edict envoy, intending to enter the Song Kingdom from the territory of the Dingyan military festival envoy; But the cunning Li Jiqian was afraid of annoying the Song Dynasty and refused Xiao Tzuyong's request, and Xiao Tzuyong took another path; Catch the box army of Jingzhao Mansion.

Song Taizong shouted again when he heard this, and said, "Yang Aiqing, you said that Xiao Tzuyong took the army of Jingzhao Mansion, what is going on?" ”

Yang Yiyi cleared his throat and calmed down: "After Xiao Tzuyong was refused by Li Jiqian to cross the border into the Song Kingdom, his tart Ma He Gulu suggested that he go to Yanzhou Qingyan Field for a walk, and Xiao Tzuyong and 300 Tielin troops came to Yanzhou; In the name of trafficking salt, it is close to Zhao Wenchen, the branch official of Jingzhao Mansion! ”

Yang Yiyi said with regret: "The mule and horse transport team of the Jingzhao Prefecture branch official rushed to Yanzhou on the way to fight with the forbidden army in the capital, and lost a lot of pack animals; The two hit it off with Xiao Tzuyong and 300 horses, but where would Zhao Wenchen think of it; They're going to send them to the tiger's mouth themselves! ”

Kou Zhun exclaimed: "Xiao Tzuyong killed Zhao Wenchen? ”

"Zhao Wenchen's 33 people were all killed by Xiao Tzuyong in Tianzhu Ridge!" Yang Yiyi said indignantly: "These inhuman Tartar soldiers deduce the story of the farmer and the snake; After killing 33 Zhao Wenchen, cut off their heads and hang them, and coerced Zheng Da to be a guide to take them to Fenghe Cang! ”

"How can it be!" Song Taizong suddenly launched a rush and smashed his fist on the chair he was meditating on; actually smashed one of the keels of the chair, which shows how powerful this punch is.

The eunuchs Wang Jien and Duan Li saw that the emperor was angry, and smashed one of the keels of the seat with their fists; hurriedly ran forward and pressed the back of his hand, but the back of the emperor's hand did not bleed.

Although Song Taizong is Emperor Wen, he also has a few efforts in his hands, and he smashed the keel of the seat with a fist, but the back of his hand is safe and sound, which shows the depth of his kung fu.

Speaking of which, we also have to respect Song Taizong's character of treating evil as hatred.

If you put aside Song Taizong's tricks and family affection, let's only talk about the attitude towards the enemy country; He is still a very competent emperor, which is incomparable to the later Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

Song Taizong Hero I almost offended the people of the world to create a relaxed environment for his children and grandchildren to ascend the throne, but Song Huizong Zhao Ji was a bad seed; He dedicated the country created by his ancestors to the Jurchens, and became a captive emperor who had no one before or since, and was named "Duke of Dude" by the Jin Dynasty; His son Zhao Huan was named "Heavy Faint Marquis".

For the first time, the father and son wore sheepskin furs and worshiped the ancestral temple of the Jurchens under the escort of the golden soldiers.

Song Huizong's ninth son, King Kang, Zhao Gou, was the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was the son emperor who looked at the emperor of Jin everywhere.

Song Taizong is much stronger than his children and grandchildren.

Seeing that the emperor was emotional, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall all knelt on the ground and shouted: "The emperor guarantees the dragon body, and the Khitan tartar is a grasshopper after the autumn and can't jump a few times!" ”

Song Taizong saw the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs kneeling and shouting, and laughed casually: "Aiqing, please get up, even if I break the keel of the chair with this fist; But there is nothing in the palm of the hand, I don't believe everyone look at it! Song Taizong said and raised the palm of the hand that smashed the chair for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to see.

Yang Yiyi was really frightened when he saw the emperor doing such a move, but the emperor didn't do anything at all; He hit the railroad while it was hot: "The anger of the saint is the anger of the last general, and it is also the anger of the prince; It's even more wrangler Zheng Da's anger! ”

After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "Zheng Da saw that Xiao Tzuyong and the 300 Tielin Army had killed 33 people of Zhao Wenchen, the branch official of Jingzhao Mansion, and his teeth were clenched; Swear to bury these wolves! ”

"Well taught! Zheng Da is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty have to have such blood! Song Taizong once again said with blood and anger: "Kill all the Tartars Fang Taiping!" ”

"Zheng Da has figured out a clever plan to bury the Tartar soldiers!" Yang Yiyi said impassionedly: "He said that Fenghe Cang is not far from the horse farm, and it is all mountain roads; Walking is more convenient than riding a horse, and Xiao Tzuyong believed Zheng Da's words; was brought into the reeds by Zheng Da! ”

"Well done!" Several civil and military ministers in the lobby shouted: "This Zheng Da is really scheming!" ”

Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "Zheng Da brought the Tartar soldiers into the reeds, planning to go to Nanyuan to report to the old general Huyan and the girl Huyan Jin'er, and let their grandson lead the Hujia army to encircle and annihilate the 300 Tielin army; But the crooked fight is just about to run into the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo! ”

Yang Heyi said that he had completely tampered with Liu Min's plan to burn the Tartar soldiers in the ditch, and said: "After listening to Zheng Da's narration, the prince Zhao Yuanzuo frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked Zheng Da what is conducive to fire attack in the river, and Zheng Da said that the implementation of fire attack in the place of Chuantanggou is the first choice!" ”

"Chong'er thinks of fire attack?" Song Taizong laughed loudly: What a tiger out of the door! ”

After Song Taizong said this, he asked tightly: "Does Chong'er want to follow Zhuge Wuhou's plan to burn Sima Yi's old thief in the upper valley and burn the Khitan Tartar to death!" ”

Yang Yiyi clapped his hands, laughed, and said, "Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father!" The prince just wanted to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou to burn Sima Yi and burn the Tartar soldiers to death in the ditch! ”

Yang Yiyi said with an excited expression: "In order to complete the plan to burn the Tartar soldiers, the prince asked the last general to rush to the Beiyuan Straight Road to inform the horse master; Let the horse master lead the 800 Tianxiang army to turn around and rush to the hall ditch to ambush, prepare fire, firewood and prepare to set fire! ”

After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "The prince asked Chen Shengjie to rush to Fenghe Cang to inform the forbidden army guarding Cangyu to merge the Tartar soldiers, and he and Huyan Jin'er rode a horse to lure Xiao Tzu Rin's 300 Tielin Army into the Piercing Ditch!" ”

"Chong'er and Huyan women ride a horse!" Song Taizong asked unreasonably: "What kind of tactic is this?" ”

Yang Yiyi smiled: "If the saint asks, then the general will have to add a few words!" ”

He groaned for a while and said solemnly: "Before that, Xiao Tzuyong saw a man and a woman riding horses on the bank of the Xiang River and asked Zheng Dana who he was!" Zheng Da climbed the pole and said that the woman was Hu Yan Jin'er, the granddaughter of his master; The man is the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo, Xiao Tzuyong was stunned for a while and actually believed it! ”

Song Taizong was dumbfounded, stared at Yang Yiyi and said, "Why does Chong'er want to race with Huyan Jin'er? ”

Yang Yiyi smiled and said, "Doesn't the Holy Lord understand that the prince and Miss Huyan have met each other!" ”

"Love! Love! Wu'er is really a lover! Song Taizong laughed: "I didn't stay long with Miss Huyan to meet my eyes, and it was unprecedented!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall all burst into laughter.

Yang Yiyi picked up the previous words and said: "Xiao Tzuyong knew that the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo immediately arranged for his subordinates after he appeared in the Xianghe River Road, saying that catching the prince of the Song Kingdom was worth it than burning ten Fenghe warehouses; Because he commanded 300 Tielin troops to surround the prince and Miss Jin'er! But when drowsiness met a pillow, Xiao Tzuyong just jumped into the palace set by the prince! ”

"Good, good!" Song Taizong shouted three good words in a row, raised his arm and said: "Wu'er really has a military genius!" ”

"The crown prince is Zhang Liang reborn, Zhuge is alive!" Yang Yiyi climbed up the pole and chattered: "He knew that Xiao Tzuyong spared no effort to capture himself Dao Empress Dowager Xiao to ask for credit, so he will plan it; Follow Huyan Jin'er to Xiao Tzuyong! ”。

Song Taizong heard Yang Heyi say this, and asked a little worriedly: "Chong'er and Huyan girl challenge the Liao Army's 300 Tielin Army, after all, they are weak!" ”

"Isn't this exactly what the prince wants?" Yang Yiyi said excitedly: "This time the Tianxiang Army is going westward, and each soldier is equipped with a Mo knife and a pair of combo attacks, and the Mo knife is a weapon that is neither long nor short; The prince also has a long weapon, Fang Tian's painting halberd. And the girl Huyan Jin'er also has two weapons, the golden eagle sword and the shadow chasing soul gun, and the two of them went deep into the Tartar soldiers' position and killed corpses all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river......"
