But when he heard the sound of hooves, the young horse came with a bridle, and the man on the horse looked frightened, and there was a child in front of the horse, and the sergeant wanted to pull the rope of the horse, but the horse was frightened, and it seemed that he was about to run into the child. It was too late, and then it was too late, and a black shadow came, and the figure of the burly man had passed, and he grabbed the reins with both hands, and one fell over the shoulder, and the horse was overturned to the ground, and the sergeant on the horse was also overturned in the middle of the road.

The man in black ignored the people on the ground and walked up to the child and comforted: "Little brother, don't cry!" ”

At this time, the child's mother had been witnessing it on the side of the road, with a frightened look on her face, she rushed over from the side of the road, hugged the trembling and crying child, and hurriedly pulled the child, knelt on the road, kowtowed, and thanked: "Thank you for saving my child, thank you...... Righteous man. ”

"This little lady hurriedly got up, and passed by here just now, but when she saw the horse galloping on the road, she made a move!" The man in black picked up the mother and son on the ground and was about to leave and get into the car.

The child was out of danger, the sergeant patted the dust on his body, and then stood up from the ground, Zhao Dezhao thought that the sergeant was about to get angry, but saw that the sergeant looked relieved, caught up with the man in black, arched his hands, and said: "Thank you for the strong man who overturned this horse just now, if it wasn't for the strong man here today, I'm afraid ...... Otherwise, I will do iniquity. It's just that I have military affairs now, and I have a lot of inconvenience, please forgive me. Another day, I will be the east and invite strong men. I don't know who the strong man's surname is? Where do you live? ”

The man in black was about to get in the car, so he replied: "Brother Tai is polite, I have something to do today!" And the world is big, and the name is just a code name. ”

"Oh! In that case, please tell each other! The sergeant asked.

"You're welcome, a certain Jiangning Mansion Wan Song!"

"Oh?! You are from the Tang Kingdom. Wan Zhuangshi, I don't know where I live now? ”

Wan Song's eyes looked at the people in the car, and the middle-aged man in the car pulled the curtain and signaled that Wan Song was feasible. Wan Song said: "In the Beijing Inn! ”

The sergeant smiled helplessly when he heard this, and said, "I'll go first, and I will have a chance to meet ten thousand strong men another day, and thank you again for the strong men." ”

On the donkey cart, the curtain of the cart was opened, and a face appeared, which was the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man urged: "Song'er, it's time to get in the car, don't delay the trip." ”

Wan Song said: "There is something to do today, by the way, this Yanei, don't be so reckless next time." ”

The sergeant nodded, remembering that there was still a military report to be delivered, and he couldn't delay, so he picked up the horse on the ground and walked away. Immediately rush to the palace.

Zhao Dezhao saw that man, his martial arts were not weak, he acted chivalrous and righteous, and helped him, if he could know this person, he would also be of considerable help to himself. Zhao Dezhao then beckoned the coachman to stop the car and got out of the car, holding a few pieces of candy in his hand.

He also stepped forward, grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, looked upright, arched his hand and said: "Thanks to this eldest brother today, if it weren't for this eldest brother to save him, I'm afraid that the eldest lady would have witnessed the child's death and suffer the pain of losing her son." ”

"This little brother is so praised!" Wan Song said politely.

Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered that he still had candy in his hand, so he rushed over and stuffed the candy into the child's hand, and then coaxed the child and said: "Little brother, don't cry, this is sugar, the brother who was on the horse just now was bluffing you, don't be afraid!" ”

When the boy saw the colorful candy in his brother's hand, he stopped crying and burst into laughter, and his horror vanished.

This middle-aged man is Yang Meng, seeing a child's appearance, thanking his righteous son, and coaxing the child who was frightened by the horse, he felt very strange in his heart, but he didn't know why, so he didn't think about it anymore, so he urged Yizi to get in the car quickly and go north to the north of the city.

Zhao Dezhao saw that the car had left, so he stopped talking, but he was very lonely in his heart, and suddenly got into the car and rushed to the south of the city.

Yang Meng in the car calmed down and thought, he just arrived in Kaifeng today, he didn't know how to act now, could he see that person when he stayed in Kaifeng, and whether he could make friends with him, this is still a question. But then he didn't think about it anymore, and with the car all the way north, if Yang Meng knew that the person he saw today was the person he wanted to befriend, it would be the same when he met him for the first time, let alone meet in a hurry. Fate is sometimes like this, Yang Meng and Yizi Wan Song, two people in a foreign country, although Changchun Hall can barely gain a foothold in Kaifeng, but their national hatred and family hatred do not know what to wait for.

Without much thought, the car stopped in front of an inn in the north of the city. This inn is called Yuelai Inn, guests from the north and south gather here, and then go north, leave the surrounding realm, it is Khitan. Yang Meng got out of the car, dressed in a scribe's suit, plain and elegant, and the costume of Yizi Wan Song, one white and one black, two people in front and back, under the greeting of the little second brother, settled here.

On the road over there, the sergeant and the horse were sent to the palace, Guo Rong was going to the palace in the palace, and overheard the war report from the north, and the Han and Liao soldiers were in the north. Then asked the ministers of the palace, the left and right ministers of civil and military affairs were in contemplation, at this time on the dragon seat, Guo Rong's expression was unnatural, the grievances and grievances between Han and Zhou for three or four years, in October of the first year of Guangshun, the Khitan sent 50,000 troops and the Han coalition army went south to besiege Jinzhou. At the end of the year, Zhou's reinforcements approached, the Khitan army retreated first, and the Han army could not retreat in time, and was pursued with great losses. This battle made Han dare not go south for a long time. However, three years later, soon after the death of the first emperor and Guo Rong's succession to the throne, the Han lord believed that Guo Wei was dead and that a great opportunity had come, so he united with the Liao State to take the opportunity to go south, intending to take advantage of Zhou's internal instability to attack Zhou's power.

Guo Rong received a report from the front, saying: The Khitan sent the envoy of Wuding Jiedu and the political order Yang Gon to lead more than 10,000 cavalry and the Han division Jinyang, and the Northern Han lord personally commanded 30,000 horses and horses, and the Khitan army went south.

Guo won the Zhizhi report, seeing that the ministers were all noisy below, like a pot of porridge, and asked unhappily: "The first emperor died, and the major affairs of the court and China were entrusted to me, but my foundation is not stable, and the pseudo-Han deceived me too much, and the Khitan attacked my northern border, and now the armies of the two countries are assembled, all the ministers, you are all the pillars of the country, the important ministers that the emperor relied on, and now the bones of the first emperor are not cold, and the Zigong Palace is still in the palace hall, Han Liao is such a situation, who is worthy of the heavy responsibility?" Fight for the country! ”

At this time, Zhaoning Jiedu made Li Yun [the first name Rong, avoid Zhou Shizong's secrets, and change his name to Yun] and said: "The minister personally led the army to meet the coalition army!" ”

Guo Rong saw that Li Yun was out of the ranks, and immediately agreed to Li Yun's request, so Li Yun sent his general Mu Lingjun to lead 2,000 men and horses to meet the Han army, and he led the main force to camp behind. In February, the Khitan sent Yang Gon to lead more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 50,000 infantry to Jinyang, and the two armies joined Jinyang and attacked Luzhou (now Changzhi) all the way. Liu Min, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, personally led the Chinese army, Zhang Yuanhui led the left army, and Yang Gon was the right army, with a strict lineup.

The left army of the Northern Han Dynasty advanced all commanded Wuning Jiedu to make Zhang Yuanhui set up an ambush, and he feigned defeat and lured the enemy. As a result, Mu Lingjun was killed in an ambush, and thousands of soldiers were lost. Li Yun retreated to Luzhou, held the city with his fortification, and the Zhou army lost the first battle.
