In the middle of the year, Xu Wei raised more than 6,000 horse infantry troops, with Yang Yan as the (former) not to ridicule the system, led the headquarters of 3,000 elites out of the Huangguan first, Ma Tai led 800 cavalry to accompany him, and he personally took charge of the main force and killed Hedong. Li Guan's men and horses had already set off half a month ago to contact the Hedong Rebels and spy on the news.

When the heroes of Hedong heard that the Purple Tiger was coming, they were greatly encouraged, and for a while, the southeast of the river rushed to spread the news, and their morale was high. Just when Xu Wei sent out his troops, Li Zhi had already arrived at the front line, and he stationed troops in the Weisheng Army where he had served before, looking at Pingyang and Zhaode Erfu. On November 13, Li Zhi sent his eldest son to lead more than 20,000 people to Kou Pingyang. At that time, there were 50,000 rebels from all walks of life in Pingyang City. However, because there was no unified command, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Li army, Binh Duong was in danger. Later, the rebels from all walks of life in the city launched a leader. It is said to have come from Hebei. Under the overall planning of this person, a company repelled several attacks by Li's army. Kill thousands of thieves.

Li Zhi saw that Pingyang Mansion was prepared. Turned to attack Zhaode, detained the city for three days in succession, and finally entered with fire destroying the city gate.

The rebels in the city suffered heavy casualties. Forced to retreat to Zezhou. As soon as Zhaode fell, the greater the threat to Pingyang Prefecture, Li Zhi was worthy of being a military minister, and he was not in a hurry to take Pingyang, but continued to pursue the rebel army in Zezhou. After attempting to take Zezhou, it forced Binh Duong to surrender with a three-sided encirclement.

When Yang Yan's department passed through Hezhong Mansion and passed through Longmen, he received news from Li Guan's meticulous work. Yanzezhou was in danger, the city fell just overnight, and Li Jun's arrogance became more and more rampant, and he took over Hedong before the New Year. Yang Yan was furious when he heard the news, and urged the army to march quickly, walking a hundred to ten miles in a day and night, and entering the territory of Zezhou.

It was an unusually cold day. Even when I exhaled the wind, I felt like I was about to freeze frost. The soldiers marched through the night, extremely tired, and the commanders of all levels begged to camp and rest before advancing. Yang Yan sternly refuted his subordinates, saying that I, Yang Da, made a military order in front of Xu Zhaoyu to snatch the heavy responsibility of this vanguard. You flocks. When the army was set, they jumped up and down to ask for battle, and now they retreat when they encounter such difficulties, you are also worthy of being called "Tiger Jie"? The words provoked the commanders to say, "Don't be afraid of death, why not be afraid of the cold?" Then he marched.

To one place, I saw that there was a big mountain blocking the road, the terrain was dangerous, and the road was difficult to walk. Fortunately, Li Guan's children who were not doing their jobs in the eyes of the Hujie officers had already figured out the situation, and the name of this mountain was Lutai Mountain. Located in the west of Zezhou, more than 60 miles ahead, is Yangcheng, an important town in Zezhou.

"Pass my general's order, the whole army rushed in, and when I arrived in Yangcheng, Lao Tzu will set up a big pot for you to cook sheep! On this cold day, lamb is the most delicious. Then drink a big bowl of broth, and the whole body burns like charcoal." Yang Yan was dressed in full armor. It's just that he didn't wear a bucket sticker, and his own nose was frozen red, but he even encouraged morale at any time. When the officers and men heard this, they drooled and worked even harder.

Bypassing Lutai Mountain, the terrain was a little flatter, and I was about to move forward, when I suddenly stepped forward to report that a group of troops were coming to our army, and there were a lot of people and horses!

"Don't panic! He didn't dare to take the initiative to attack me! I want to be a righteous teacher in Hedong! Yang Yan shouted loudly with a curved blade gun. Although he said this, he still ordered to wait for the formation. The Hujie soldiers have been practicing for a long time, and they have experienced the test of the battle formation, which is no longer what they were at the beginning. In the blink of an eye, three thousand people formed a formation and waited solemnly. Mattei's 800 horsemen were sheltered on both wings, ready to respond. Not much. No one was in sight, but the noise was getting closer.

Yang Yan stepped on the stirrups and straightened up to look at the past, only to see a crowd of people rushing over like a flash flood. There is no flag in sight. It's not in formation, it's just running around, as if it's running for your life. Seeing this, Yang Yan turned around and shouted: "Flag Soldier!" Raise my banner of vanguard".

A tiger's back. The eight-foot-long strong man neatly hung the general's flag on the flagpole. Then with a force, Shengsheng erected the two-zhang long military flag, only to see the military flag fluttering, written clearly, Hedong recruited to make Si Feng's army under control! As soon as the flag was raised, the other side had already swarmed in, and the soldiers saw that these people had no armor. Many don't even have weapons, are they the people? Doesn't it mean that the people of Hedong have fled? This black crowd should be at least tens of thousands!

Speaking of the other side, the person who was fleeing for his life in a hurry was shocked at first when he saw a force forming a strict formation. When they saw the banner clearly, some people were so excited that they cried loudly and rushed over desperately.

Yang Yan made a move. The subordinate corporal immediately struck the long shield with a big knife and axe, and made a neat and loud sound! This is a warning to those who are in front of the formation, and those who commit the formation will die! But the crowd on the other side obviously understood this kind of military warning, and they pounced vigorously, just like the newly weaned baby saw his mother!

The big gun in his hand made another move. The soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was amazing! But there was no sign of the rotten team in front of him stopping, Yang Yan waved his gun, and all the officers and soldiers suddenly shouted, took half a step forward, stood on the ground with their shields on the ground, and their weapons were facing forward, which was already an offensive posture!

No matter how stupid you are, you should see it. This army is about to go on a killing spree. The man who had lost his form hurriedly stopped. One hundred and ten steps in front of Yang Yanjun's formation, he stopped, looked at each other, and exchanged heads, obviously not knowing what to do. The people and horses gathered more and more, and in the end, I don't know if it was a few bold people, or the leaders of these people, who rode over on horseback, and did not dare to get too close, but got off the horse more than a dozen steps, half-knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "I am waiting for the Hedong Righteous Army, dare to ask who is in front of me."

The artist was bold, Yang Yan didn't even bring a guard, he slapped his horse forward, and only pulled the reins in front of those few people. The war horse man stood up, knelt down and several people looked up to see him so majestic, and quickly lowered it.

"Let me ask you, you said that you are a rebel in Hedong, what proof do you have?" Yang Yan pointed the tip of his gun at those people and asked.

There was a person inside, who took out an object from his side, presented it with both hands, and said: "Don't dare to hide this official, we are indeed the Hedong Righteous Army, and there is Zhu Ji issued by Xu Wei and Xu as evidence." ”

The so-called Zhu Ji is the official seal of the military attaché. At Xu Wei's suggestion, the imperial court granted the nominal official title to the rebel leaders of all walks of life in Hedong. In recognition of their dedication to protecting the land. Yang Yan picked up the cloth bag in the man's hand with a gun and folded it to take a look. Sure enough, it was one. Zhu Ji of "Cheng Zhonglang".

After verifying that it was correct, he threw Zhu Ji back to him, and Yang Yan said loudly: "This official is Yang Yan, the deputy envoy of Hedong and the pioneer of the capital control. Ordered to beg Li Wei! Where did you come from? The situation ahead is as follows

I heard that it was Xu in charge of the troops. A few rebel leaders jumped up, didn't answer Yang Yan's words first, turned around and shouted: "This little cardinal army! The thief is coming."

The voice fell, in an instant. This barren mountain and wilderness suddenly burst into thunder... Cry! The rebels all over the mountains shouted in unison! Yang Yan saw it in his eyes. The heart skull Shanju doesn't want the ninth brother to win the hearts of the people like this.

After roaring for a long time, the "Cheng Zhonglang" replied with his fists in his fists: "Yang Xianxian." I'll wait from Yang City. Li Wu sent more than 10,000 troops. Chased all the way from Zhaode, Yangcheng couldn't hold it. We abandoned the city and wanted to join the river. Unexpectedly, Li Jun was in a hurry to catch up, and we folded several times in a row. I ran here

Has Yangcheng fallen? Straight sissy thief! It's so rampant! If grandpa lets you go again, won't he beat me to Dingrong? Measure your Li thief rabble, and dare to come to brush the tiger's whiskers? Although he was angry in his heart, he still said to the leaders: "Don't run away again, just reorganize the team here, and the army of General Manager Xu is approaching in the blink of an eye." This official led his own troops to attack Yang City, and ignored the other party, and went straight to the battle

Row.

Before he could reach the front of the battle, he suddenly heard a shout behind him, and when he looked back again, he saw that the rebel army who had just calmed down became panicked again. Rushing to the west, Yang Yan looked far away and saw a group of soldiers and horses attacking the northeast corner. There was no banner to be seen, but when the rebels saw them, they scattered as birds and beasts.

At the forefront were hundreds of cavalrymen, all with big swords and spears, chasing them into the rebel army like a tiger into a flock of sheep, driving these nearly 10,000 people to scatter and flee.

Yang Yan took a sip fiercely, his eyes immediately turned red, and he raised his gun and shouted: "Ma Er, follow me!" Du Feihu, you command! After speaking, he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and clamped his legs hard. The war horse neighed and shot out like lightning! As soon as he walked on his front foot, the ten horsemen followed.

"Kill!" Yang Yan rides one person and one ride, like an arrow off the string! The enemy cavalry only chased and killed the rebels, and he didn't see Lou Yan's department not far away, so he rushed over coldly. For that startled, the curved blade gun had already poked a bloody hole in his chest. The tremendous force made him stunned and fell to the ground with men and horses.

Yang Yan succeeded in one blow and did not stop at all. The big gun in his hand soared into the air like a dragon, stabbing, teasing, and slashing, killing four people in the blink of an eye! Only then did the dozens of enemy horsemen fight back, abandon the rebels who fled in disarray, and beat their horses to surround them. Running halfway to the road, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, this person was wearing full uniform. It doesn't look like a rebel, does it? When I am suspicious. Suddenly, I saw a cavalry unit rushing like thunder. Looking further back, it finally appeared, this is the official army of the Southern Dynasty!

It is also appropriate for these Li troops to reach the mold, and since they have been under the command of Li Zhi, they have invaded Fuzhou all the way to the south, thinking that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king. Later, although the Hedong Righteous Army was the enemy, they were chased and fled in a hurry. I thought that I was the division of tigers and wolves, and even the officers and soldiers were not afraid! Therefore, although he saw Yang Ma's second general attacking with hundreds of horses, he was not afraid. Shoot the horse to meet the enemy! But as soon as he saw his face, he either cut off his head, or he was stabbed under the horse, and when he wanted to withdraw when the limelight was wrong, he couldn't get out of his body.

Although the cavalry was not the director of the Song army, Xu Wei attached great importance to it, and the cavalry unit of the Hujie army was at its peak. It's just that: thousands of people, but the scraping is strict, the salary is very high, and the cavalry is proud of it. On this expedition, Yang Yan was the commander of the front army, Ma Taidu Feihu was the deputy commander, and Xu Wei deliberately let the two brothers fight more.

If Yang Yan is "brave", then Ma Tai is really "fierce". In the battle of grain robbery in Qixian County, he was severely injured and almost died. But instead of fearing him, this catastrophe made him more courageous. At this time, before the soldiers, wielding his big axe, dare to block the horses, men and horses!

Therefore, the natural enemy of cavalry is always cavalry. Li Jun rode hundreds of horses, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left was to turn around and run. The best is yet to come. This Li army was the army of Li Zhi's eldest son, Li Dan. After capturing Yangcheng, Li Dan sent hundreds of cavalry to chase and kill, and sent 3,000 infantry to meet behind. As a result, as soon as they fought, they were defeated by the Hujie Ma army. Queen Cang withdrew, Yang Yan and Ma Tai were all killed, and they had no intention of stopping. has been chasing for more than forty miles, and is bumping into the Li army's foot soldiers who came to meet him"

As a result, the cups that were often born on Song Jun's body. was born in Li Jun's body as it was. Hujie 800 horsemen, stunned to rush the 3,000 Li Army infantry, crying father and mother. Chasing all the way to Yangcheng, General Yang Ma withdrew his troops. Li Shan was shocked when he heard the news, and intended to abandon Yang City and return to defend Zezhou. So much so that when the three generals Yang, Ma, and Du led their troops to Linyang City, it was already an empty city.

The vanguard army rested here for a day, and went straight to Zezhou City without stopping. Li Shan had more than 10,000 soldiers in Zezhou. The self-serving city is strong, the soldiers are full of food, and they are intent on holding on. After finding out that the Song army was not strong, he sent troops to block it three times, but was defeated three times, and was shocked that the eldest son of Li Shun abandoned Zezhou again and fled to Zhaode with his tail between his legs. Who knew that Yang Yan still didn't let him go, and ordered Ma Tai to lead the elite cavalry to chase wildly! Catch up with the remnants of Li Dan in Mishan, Gaoping County, and kill thousands of enemies. The rest of the people surrendered, and Li Dan, under the protection of his cronies, fled into Zhaode Mansion with only a dozen people. As soon as he entered Zhaode City, this guy cried when he saw people, saying that he had met the Western Army. He hurriedly reported to Li Zhi, who was sitting in Weisheng, saying that the Song army was powerful and he was afraid of recovering Hedong.

Li Zhi naturally didn't believe it, he knew that now the Southern Dynasty was unable to go first and restore Hedong. The Song army came here, and the meaning of deterrence was the majority. However, the first time the two armies fought, they lost tens of thousands of horses, which was not lightly planted. At the same time, he also knew in his heart that although he claimed to be an army of 100,000, except for the little family background when he surrendered, the others were all Hedong rebels who had surrendered and rebelled, and it was okay to make up the numbers. Expecting them to fight is a fool's dream. In view of this, he contracted his defenses on the one hand, and urged Taiyuan's Wanyan Tuhe to send Jin soldiers to help as soon as possible. Yang Yan and others recovered Zezhou, and with his temperament, he couldn't continue to go north, and he didn't stop until Taiyuan. But as soon as Xu Wei had an order, he went to Zezhou to strangle his troops. Second, if they continued to go north, the food and grass would not be enough, so the troops were stationed and waited

Force.

On the third day of the lunar month, Xu Wei led his army into Ze and spread the news to the Hedong Righteous Army. Li Zhi was somewhat surprised when he found this. He had heard of Xu Wei's name, but what surprised him was not the prestige of the Purple Golden Tiger, but the four words "Hedong Recruitment". He used to be a military minister of the Southern Dynasty and knew the system, and if there was no clear policy, it would be impossible for the Tokyo Imperial Court to set up a division. Now that this Hedong envoy has already raised the banner, could it be that the Southern Dynasty does not want to give up the land of Hedong?

Also, it is said that Xu Wei is now guarding Hua County. That is the official army of Shaanxi Fifth Road. But he typed "Hedong Recruitment." The banner, so to speak. Is this Zhao Jiang envoy located in Shaanxi? How handsome is Li Gang? Many problems were not clear, and he reported it to Jin Guo in one go.
