Before Li Zhang came here, he thought that this should be a place with steep terrain, but when he came here, he found that there was nothing special here, Yang Mountain is not high, and the bottom of the mountain is also a piece of farmland, if it wasn't for Huyan Shouxin to bring him here, he would never believe that there was a big war here decades ago.

"Brother Li, there is still a monument at the foot of the mountain over there, which was erected by the local people after General Yang broke the Liao army, should we go and see it?" At this moment, Huyan Shouxin pointed to a wooded road not far away.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Li Zhang immediately walked over, and while he was walking, he was also thinking about the northwest side, before Li Yuanhao took the initiative to attack Li Chengyu, and seeing that he was about to unify the party, the Great Song Dynasty finally made a move, and sent Cao Mata's musket army to cooperate with another cavalry to kill Li Yuanhao's lair from the rear.

However, Li Yuanhao had already taken precautions, the entire Xingzhou was also fortified, and most of the population had moved to the strong Xingzhou City, although Cao Yu and they successfully arrived outside Xingzhou City, but they spent a lot of money and failed to take Xingzhou City, and at this time Li Yuanhao had already eliminated Li Chengyu's main force, and then immediately sent troops to help, Cao Yu and others also had to retreat.

Of course, this time the troops were not for nothing, after not being able to defeat Xingzhou City, Cao Ma and others simply sent troops to plunder the party people, although most of the party people were moved to Xingzhou City, but there are still many people hiding in the rear, under the blow of Cao Yu and others, these party people outside the city also suffered heavy losses, and when the Song army retreated, Xingzhou City was also a mess.

In addition, although Li Yuanhao defeated Li Chengyu's main force, he still failed to catch Li Chengyu, speaking of which Li Chengyu's luck is really good, after his main force was disappeared, he was about to fall into a desperate situation, but Li Yuanhao's rear was attacked by the Song army, and he could only give up the pain to continue to pursue Li Chengyu, and then withdraw the army to help, which made Li Chengyu escape again.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Chengyu's defeat, the main force under his command was lost, and the people's hearts have been scattered, if it is not as accidental, there will be no comeback in the future, but the Great Song Dynasty has begun to send people to secretly contact Li Chengyu, if Li Chengyu can be allowed to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, there may be a possibility of turning over in the future.

In general, Cao Mata's purpose of sending troops this time has been achieved, as long as Li Chengyu does not die, Li Yuanhao cannot be regarded as a real unification party, and the Great Song Dynasty can also use Li Chengyu to drag Li Yuanhao's hind legs.

Li Zhang is also very satisfied with this result, he does not ask Li Chengyu to turn over and defeat Li Yuanhao, in fact, he has long been disappointed in Li Chengyu's stupidity, now he only hopes that Li Chengyu can hold on for a few more years, and when Zhao Zhen takes power in the future, he can use Zhao Zhen's hand to attack the party, after all, Zhao Zhen is not Liu E, and Li Zhang's influence on him is also greater.

Li Zhang and Hu Yan Shouxin soon came to this forest, although it is winter, the leaves have fallen, but it can still be seen that this forest is very lush, and in front of the woods, there is a tall stone stele, on the book "Yang Liulang destroyed the Liao army here" eight big characters, although the stele is very rough, but these words are quite imposing, it seems to be from the handwriting of a famous artist.

"Brother Li, please see, under the woods behind this stele, there are buried corpses of the Liao army that invaded the Liao army, and it is precisely for this reason that this forest also grows very luxuriantly." Huyan Shouxin pointed to the woods in front of him at this time and introduced again, although he had fought with the Khitans many times after coming to Hebei, they were all small groups of Khitans, at most a few hundred, which could not be compared with the time when the Song and Liao were at war.

After reading this stele, Hu Yan Shouxin told the battle of Yangshan under the command of Yang Liulang again, when the Liao and Song Dynasty did not conclude an alliance, the border between the two sides was also endless, Suicheng is located on the border, and it is the north gate of Zhending Mansion, so it is naturally the focus of the Liao attack, and that time thousands of Liao troops killed Suicheng, Yang Yanzhao first deceived and led the Liao army to the foot of Yang Mountain, and then the Song army in ambush was killed together, almost all of the Liao army was annihilated, and even the generals of the Liao army were cut off and sent to Tokyo, For this reason, the emperor at that time, Zhao Heng, also praised Yang Yanzhao.

However, although Yang Yanzhao is a famous general, he is not invincible on the battlefield, in fact, three years after the Battle of Yangshan, the Liao army attacked Baozhou, Yang Liulang led his troops to support, but he did not expect that the Liao army took advantage of their arrival, and the formation had not yet been expanded, resulting in heavy losses for the Song army.

The humiliation of the first battle of Baozhou did not defeat Yang Liulang, two years later he led his troops to the Liao border, broke through the ancient city, and once again defeated the Liao army, and captured a large number of materials and prisoners of war, which can be described as a rare victory of the Great Song Dynasty against Liao, and this battle also directly established Yang Liulang's status as a famous general, but after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, he was useless.

Thinking of Yang Yanzhao, Li Zhang then thought of his father Yang Ye, that is, Yang Lao Linggong in the romance, Yang Ye is famous for his courage and good fighting, and he will win every battle, and the people of the time called him "Yang Invincible", but unfortunately he was defeated when he conquered Liao, and he died of hunger strike for three days after being captured, which can be described as loyal and brave.

There are many famous generals similar to the Yang family's father and son, but as time goes by, these famous generals have passed away one by one, and most of the generals left behind are also gentlemen, if it weren't for his intervention, I'm afraid it would be difficult to have a famous general like Cao Wei, and now martial arts are making good progress under the auspices of Cao Wei, I hope that there will be more talents in the generals in the future, and they can revive the bravery left by their ancestors.

After visiting Yangshan, Li Zhang and Huyan Shouxin returned to Suicheng, the mission was not only here to rest, but also sent people to the Liao State, asking them to send people to pick up the mission to enter the country, otherwise they such a large group of people rashly entered the Liao State, maybe they would be wiped out by the Liao army as an invading Song army, so the Liao State must send someone to pick up.

After resting for two days, the Liao side finally sent someone to come, so Li Zhang said goodbye to Huyan Shouxin, and then the mission finally left the Great Song Dynasty and set foot on the land of Liao, but Li Zhang was a little not interested, because the land under his feet was originally Han Chinese, but now it is occupied by Khitans.

The mission was quite calm along the way, and even stopped at the Liao State Xijin Mansion for a while, but on this day, a small conflict suddenly broke out within the mission.
