Chapter 61: The Great Defeat of the Khitan

Liu Zhiyuan opened it and saw that the letter was written

"Sun Fangjian, the owner of the wolf cottage, I will hunt Hedong in September Bingshen, and the heavenly soldiers will make a detour to Lanzhou, avoid the Yanmen Pass, take the Yangwu Valley, and go straight to Taiyuan. Brother Wang's brother Shuai Wolf Mountain attacked Dingzhou, feinted to attack Daizhou, confused the Jin army, and cooperated with the action of the heavenly soldiers. Seal of the Great Liao Emperor"

After reading the letter, Liu Zhiyuan was so excited that he couldn't help but stride in front of Huiqing, held Huiqing's hand with both hands and said, "Thank you so much, Master Huiqing, this information you brought is really timely." ”

Huiqing retracted her hand in embarrassment.

Liu Zhiyuan realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and smiled awkwardly, "What offense, sin, sin!" Please forgive me, little master, I was so excited that I got a little carried away. ”

After Huiqing sat down, the generals couldn't wait to ask what was written on the letter, and they were happy to see Lord Liu.

Liu Zhiyuan said, "God really help me, we are worried that we don't know where the Khitan will attack from, Master Huiqing brought Yelu Deguang to write to the lord of Wolf Mountain Sun Fang Jianzhai, which is equivalent to telling us that his march route is Xinzhou." We can focus our defense on the front line of Xinzhou. ”

While everyone was happy, Shi Hongzhao poured a scoop of cold water on everyone, and he said word by word, "Dare to ask Master Huiqing, why do you want to help us because you and I are not related to Hedong?" Listening to Master's words, you are the sister of Sun Fangjian, the owner of Wolf Mountain, and now that Wolf Mountain has taken refuge in the Khitan, you sent us such important information at this time, it is unreasonable to be reasonable, right? ”

Shi Hongzhao's words are true.

Liu Zhiyuan asked, "What General Shi said is extremely true, Master Huiqing, please explain your purpose for doing this?" ”

Yu Qing thought to himself, along the way, Huiqing hated himself on the surface, and he wanted to cut himself with a thousand knives, but in his heart he cared about himself very much. He always had a question in his heart, and he wanted to find out.

He said to Huiqing, "That's it, please explain to Master Huiqing!" ”

Hui Qing said together, "Amitabha! Although Huiqing is a monk, he is also a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Khitan Iron Horse went south, and it was not our flesh and blood brothers who suffered! How can I see my brothers and sisters in dire straits? Therefore, I am willing to do something for Lord Liu. ”

Shi Hongzhao said: "What the little master said has some truth, but aren't you afraid of offending your senior brother Sun Fangjian?" ”

Huiqing replied: "The Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?' 'If you can do something good for the people of the Central Plains, why not be sent to the hell of Abi? ”

Liu Zhiyuan listened to it and was deeply moved, and said, "The master understands the righteousness and compassion, Zhiyuan is grateful, and the great grace is not grateful, I would like to express my gratitude to the master for his great kindness on behalf of the millions of people and 50,000 soldiers in Hedong, please accept Zhiyuan's worship!" ”

"Lord Liu is serious, please get up quickly!"

Huiqing looked at Yu Qing as he spoke, and said coldly, "I'm afraid that some people will treat kindness as donkey liver and lungs!" ”

Yu Qing was embarrassed, her face was hot, and she thought to herself that she didn't know where she offended this Bodhisattva, why did she always have to worry about herself. He was mentally itchy, and he always had an urge to lift Huiqing's veil to see who she was.

"Yu Qing has been taken care of by the master along the way, the master's great kindness, Yu Qing is unforgettable, Yu Qing has a reluctant request, please show the master with his true face, Yu Qing can remember what the benefactor looks like."

Everyone also wanted to see the dignity of this master who gave charcoal in the snow, so they said in unison, "Please show the true face of the master!" ”

Huiqing was embarrassed and said, "Amitabha, the monks don't speak, the poor nuns have a hateful face, and they are afraid of frightening everyone, so it's better not to look at it!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said, "The little master is a bodhisattva, and he doesn't want to show his true face, so let's not embarrass the little master." Master has come from afar, all the way around, very hard, please move to the living room first to have some tea and dinner, I will wait for the time being. ”

Then he said to the attendant, "Take the little master to the living room to rest!" ”

The two attendants said to Huiqing respectfully, "Little master, please!" ”

"Huiqing retires!"

"Little master go slowly!"

Liu Zhiyuan sent Huiqing away and immediately made arrangements for arming

"The generals will obey!"

"No!" The generals replied in unison.

"General Guo Wei followed me to lead the 30,000 main forces of the middle road into Xinzhou, stationed in Yangwu Valley, laid an ambush, and waited for work. General Shi Hongzhao led 5,000 troops of the Left Route Army into Lanzhou and moved in the direction of Xinzhou to prevent the enemy from attacking our army from Lanzhou. General Murong led the Right Route Army to aid Daizhou to prevent the Khitans from entering the pass through Yanmen Pass, and cooperated with the actions of the Middle Route Army. The three armies formed a horn trend, and it was necessary to let the Khitans have no return. Liu Chengxun and General Wang Jun led the government soldiers and personal soldiers to guard Taiyuan and prepare military salaries, grain and grass. ”

After the generals received the order, Liu Zhiyuan said to Qing, "Brother Yu, this time you will go out with your eldest brother, and with your help, I will make the Khitan people come and go." ”

Yu Qing said: "Listen to the eldest brother!" ”

Yangwu Valley.

Liu Zhiyuan led the main force of 30,000 to double the road and rushed to Yangwu Valley in the early morning of Yiwei.

After resting for a day, he immediately sent 2,000 men and horses to set up ambushes on both sides of the Yangwu Valley Gorge.

Intelligence shows that the Khitan will send troops from Yunzhou on Bingshen Day, and there is a two-day trip from Yunzhou to Yangwu Valley, and two days is enough time to do a lot of things.

Liu Zhiyuan sent 2,000 ambush soldiers, led by Guo Wei, to prepare a large number of rolling stone logs and arrow feather saltpeter on the cliffs on both sides of Yangwu Valley.

The main force was ambushed at the exit of Yangwu Valley, waiting for work.

And Liu Zhiyuan set up the camp on the hillside opposite Yangwu Valley and commanded it.

At noon on the day of Wuxu, I saw the dust and smoke billowing from the north, the flag covering the sun, and the Khitan army marching towards Yangwu Valley.

In that formation, there was no head in front and no tail in the back, and there were tens of thousands of horses.

Liu Zhiyuan and Yu Qing stood on the top of the mountain, and when they saw such a big battle in the Khitan, they said to Qing, "Brother Yu, thanks to Master Huiqing's timely rain, if it weren't for this, if we misjudged the Khitan's march route and attack direction, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

After the Khitan brigade drove into the Yangwu Valley, only Guo Wei heard a horn, and the ambush soldiers on both sides of the valley projected the rolling stone logs and saltpeter arrow feathers into the valley together.

The Khitan soldiers were caught off guard, and countless people were hit by boulders, rockets, and saltpeter for a while.

The Khitan soldiers were in chaos, trampling on each other, and the ghosts in the valley were crying and howling, which was very miserable.

When the ambush attack was over, a horn sounded at Taniguchi, and the main force ambushed in Taniguchi launched an attack and rushed into Taniguchi.

Suddenly, shouts rang out, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Ambushes on both sides of the valley also rushed down and entered the battle.

In an instant, the soldiers met each other, only to see flesh and blood flying, blood flowing like a river, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.

Liu Zhiyuan waved the command flag and commanded calmly.

The Hedong Army shared the same hatred of the enemy and was extremely brave.

Guo Wei took the lead and fought hard to kill the enemy.

Yu Qingdao said, "Big brother, little brother go to help General Guo"

Liu Zhiyuan hadn't nodded yet, and Yu Qing had already risen and fallen a few times, jumping into the valley.

Yu Qing had a long sword in his hand, and shouted, "Yu Qing is here, the Khitan dog is here!" ”

Before the words fell, only the sound of Chen Po in the air was heard, and a fierce sword aura swept by, and more than a dozen Khitan soldiers were already in different places.

Some Khitan soldiers had seen the power of the gods in Yanmen Pass, and when they heard Yu Qing's name, they were frightened in the face of the gods who fell from the sky, where did they dare to fight again? shouted one by one, "Yu Qing is here, run,"

The Khitan general who led the army shouted not to mess up, but it was okay to shout there, and the Khitan 30,000 army was quickly defeated under the impact of the Hedong Army and fled.

The general had no choice but to turn his horse's head and flee to the valley mouth to the north.

Guo Wei and Yu Qing became more and more brave in battle, leading the Hedong Army to pursue and kill all the way, and countless Khitan soldiers became lonely ghosts and ghosts in Yangwu Valley.

The remaining Khitan soldiers fled frantically, and when they escaped from Yangwu Valley, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly withdrew his troops.

Hearing the commander's order to collect troops, Guo Wei ordered to stop the pursuit.

Back in the camp, Yu Qing wondered, "Brother Liu, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said disapprerovingly, "Khitans, give them a lesson, so that they don't dare to underestimate me, Hedong, the art of war is cloudy, 'poor Kou Mo chase', what we have to do now is to preserve our strength." Perhaps the existence of the Khitan is much better than nothing. ”

Yu Qing was puzzled.

After the Khitan army fled, Guo Wei cleaned up the battlefield, and the Khitan soldiers were beheaded more than 7,000 and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers were captured. The Hedong Army suffered less than 500 casualties.

In the battle of Yangwu Valley, Liu Zhiyuan won a complete victory.

After Liu Zhiyuan's army drove back to Taiyuan, the first thing Liu Zhiyuan, Yu Qing and others thought of was to thank Huiqing.

But when they arrived at Huiqing's apartment, everyone was dumbfounded, and the attendant said, "Master Huiqing has left." ”
