The weather was cold, and the Liao tribe lacked wintering cotton, and the eldest brother Ali Buhua colluded with other people in the tribe to make a deal on the border of the Song Dynasty

In those years, it was common for the Liao people who were accustomed to living immediately to invade the border of the Song Dynasty and grab some daily necessities. But when he and his group of sixty or seventy people just crossed the border of the Song Dynasty, before committing the crime, they were discovered by the defenders of the Northern Song Dynasty

But this time, the severe cold was frost, the north wind was cold, and their tribe really couldn't survive, so they made this decision, and they were obviously discovered by the Song army, but they still fought to show their purpose, which was to do this vote with an iron heart

How do you know that Song Jun is not easy to mess with, he cares about the safety of the lives and property of the people, and cares about the entrustment of his father and brother in his hometown, and fights with the Liao people

When I started fighting, I realized how much I had lost

The Liao people are all horsemen, but what about the Song army? Except for more than a dozen people riding horses, the other soldiers all fought on foot, fighting with the Liao people, at first they still had their own victories and defeats, but after a long time, they showed signs of defeat

Seeing this, the Liao people took the lead, and even beckoned the Liao people to charge to the death

Wang Congqi's army gradually fell behind

Just when Wang Congqi and the Northern Song Dynasty defenders led by him gradually showed their decline, Cai Yuanlang led all the generals in Ji'an County to the accident site

is just a charge, and the Liao people's leading brother Ali Buhua will be beheaded under the horse

Most of the other Liao soldiers led by Cai Yuanlang, Wang Congqi, Li Tianjiao, and Jiang Wenxiao died under the horse

There were only a few four or five Liao people, seeing that things were not good, so they turned their horses and fled in a hurry

The Liao people are fast, and they can't catch up, and they can't catch it, so they can only let those Hu people scold in their mouths, Cai Yuanlang can only let them run while scolding, looking at their backs and sighing, and letting them escape

In 984 AD, in the winter of the first year of Yongxi, this skirmish with the Liao was reported to the imperial court

The prefect Han Zhen asked for merit for Cai Yuanlang, and Taiyuan appeased Shi Dacong to ask for merit

The two of them had the same effect, and wrote the Ji'an defense led by Cai Yuanlang as a divine soldier descending from heaven, and under the leadership of himself and others, they smashed the conspiracy of the Liao people to invade our country for the first time

The excerpt went to the military department, this is the last time after the emperor Zhao Guangyi drove the great Liao, the Northern Song Dynasty won a great victory against Liao for the first time - the total annihilation of the enemy army, the military department Shangshu Qin Fangyuan asked the emperor for the merits of the soldiers in the northern border, this is the first victory since our army and the Liao people started the war, and it must be reported to the emperor

At that time, Emperor Zhao Guangyi heard that the border defense army had won a battle with the Liao, and he was also inexplicably happy at first

But if you look closely, the so-called great victory is only a small-scale battle that wiped out more than 70 Liao people

He couldn't help but be disheartened, he wanted to scold Qin Fangyuan, scold the military department, such a small-scale battle, what do you have to congratulate, what is the fuss? But when the words came to my mouth, I still changed my words, this is the only thing that can make me happy among the many unhappy things since I ascended the throne, and the generals and commanders of our three armies must take Cai Yuenlong's army as a model, train the troops well, prepare well, produce well, and live well. Then he issued an order to commend the soldiers in the north of the border, so that they could go further, and give verbal praise to Cai Yuenlong, the filial piety of the army

The imperial court's commendation order came to the north of the border in a few days, and when he saw that the imperial court was only verbally praised, the prefect Han Zhen and Shi Dacong could only invite Cai Yuanlang to the mansion to praise him

Cai Yuanlang didn't take this battle seriously in his heart, I heard that the emperor made himself a typical example, and he wanted to work hard to expand the results of the battle, and said yes in front of the two bosses, and proposed that he wanted to train some village warriors in the border villages, one to let the township militia prepare for self-protection, and the other to expand the lack of troops in his school captain

When Han Zhen and Shi Dacong heard this, they became interested and asked him how to practice bravery

Cai Yuanlang said, with each village sending a hundred strong laborers, he sent troops to lead the team to train, and then, the imperial court gave a little labor fee every month

Expanding the army is just practicing bravery, Han Zhen, Shi Dacong is happy, but when he heard that he asked for money, he shook his head like a rattle, Han Zhen said, "It's a good way to organize people from the countryside and prepare to save yourself, but if you want the court to pay, the court is now in a civil war, and the treasury is empty, how can you have spare money to raise soldiers"

Shi Dacong also means the same thing

Cai Yuanlang was unhappy with a boss, seeing that the two bosses had the same meaning, asking for money or not, and asking for a life, he had no choice but to cancel the Bingyong plan

In 985 AD, in the first month of the second year of Yongxi, Cai Yuanlang won the imperial court's commendation, and the whole family celebrated the New Year happily

This year, just after the Spring Festival, the whole family is eating together for the New Year

Suddenly, a subordinate reported that a horse bandit had appeared to the west of our school's lieutenant office, and according to this, it was more than 20 miles away

？ Don't let you have a good New Year? This Liao person is too much, Cai Yuanlang couldn't help but sigh, and asked his subordinates to report to the prefect and ask for reinforcements

Get dressed and go

Mrs. Cai Xi, said, can you finish eating at home before leaving?

Cai Yuanlang said, I want to too, but the two or three hundred people under my command are still waiting for me

Farewell to his family, mounted his horse, and drove to the captain's house

When they arrived at the school captain's office, the three subordinates Wang Congqi, Li Tianjiao, and Jiang Wenxiao had been waiting at the school captain's office for a long time, and when they saw Cai Yuanlang, they all smiled bitterly and said, this year, this year is not going to be good, the Liao people are too unparticular

Cai Yuanlang also laughed, who said no

Then he ordered the horses and horses, went out of the captain's office, looked for the enemy's location, and prepared to meet the enemy

However, before he could meet with the enemy, he heard the Malay newspaper that the Liao people on the other side had no intention of plundering the people this time, but on the contrary, they were making trouble with great momentum

Cai Yuanlang hurriedly asked, how many Liao people have come back on the other side?

Tanma replied, the people on the opposite side were black, and our brothers didn't count how many Liao people came, but it seems that this time the Liao people, not a thousand, but more than 800 people

Cai Yuanlang was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered, the Liao people are not good at coming this time, you are all hiding for the time being, and I and the three lieutenants will go to check the truth and reality

Each took twenty people with them, left the army, and went to find the main force of the Liao

After a plain, a mountain peak in front, this peak is called Xiaogu Mountain, it is the border between the Great Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, the only natural danger, after here, to the south is a horse plain

The four of them asked their men to wait at the foot of the mountain, and the four of them climbed the small lonely mountain, the top of the mountain

When they reached the top of the mountain, several people gasped

Originally, I saw the opposite border of Liao, is going to their own border, come an army, black press, roughly estimated, there are more than 1,000 ringing horses, only to see those ringing horses, each riding a high-headed horse, each wearing armor, if the ringing horse is not like it, it is almost the same as an army

It seems that the Liao people are not good at coming back, so let's stay away for the time being and wait for reinforcements, Cai Yuanlang commanded the three of them in a low voice

Then he called people to report to Ji'an, Dingyuan, Wutong, and the three counties to send troops to support, and these counties all belong to the front-line government

He also called his subordinates to report to the prefect of Taiyuan to Han Zhen

Summoned people to report to Taiyuan to appease Shi Dacong

Then he closely watched the movement of the Liao people this time

I saw that the Liao people crossed the border between Song and Liao, all the way to the south, and they were about to reach the foot of Xiaogu Mountain

Cai Yuanlang, Wang Congqi, Li Tianjiao, and Jiang Wenxiao also gasped

The Liao soldiers and horses did not invade the border mountain villages, but went all the way south, what does this mean?

Hurriedly descended to the small lonely mountain, led the soldiers to the south to avoid the enemy, the four brothers all knew, with their own more than 200 people to resist the enemy, the other side of more than 1,000 people, no intention to take eggs and stones, or wait for the aid is the best policy

As soon as they heard of the retreat, the soldiers hurried south and retreated

It is also strange to say that this time the Liao army did not mean to attack the border villages, and still went south, spared Xiaogu Mountain, and saw Cai Yuanlang's army

Grunting and invective all the way

Cai Yuanlang led the soldiers to all of them and continued to flee in defeat
