The seizure of Xiongzhou is quite uncomfortable with a punch.

When the soldiers and horses of Daliang arrived in Xiongzhou, the governor of Xiongzhou had already absconded, and the soldiers and people in the city began to flee. The soldiers and horses of the Great Liang easily captured Xiongzhou.

Yelu Dashi rode a horse and stood on the pontoon bridge of the Baigou River, looking at the south with a helpless face.

Some days ago, Yelu Dashi ordered people to build three pontoon bridges on the Baigou River, and the Da Liao Iron Cavalry could cross the boundary river at any time, drive straight in, plunder the rich Central Plains, and even open up new territories to make up for the state capital taken away by the Jin State in the northwest.

However, 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered for a long time, but there was a message that the emperor wanted to conquer in person, and before the emperor arrived, the soldiers and horses were not allowed to cross the river for a single step. 50,000 soldiers and horses were stopped on the north bank of the Baigou River, not daring to make a move.

Although Yelu Dashi strongly advocated that Xiongzhou had surrendered to Liao, and the army could be stationed in Xiongzhou, so that the army had a foothold on the south bank, it was stopped by the royal brother King Yelu Dezhong.

Yelu Dashi also knew what Yelu had to fear, just because he was afraid that the emperor would think that he also had different intentions.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi had four sons, the second prince King Jin was known for his prestige in the army, and the third prince was born to the favorite concubine Yuanfei, and Xiao Fengxian, the brother of the Yuanfei, was also favored and served as a privy envoy and served the emperor around.

Xiao Fengxian was afraid that the king of Jin would inherit the throne in the future, so he framed the clan general Yelu Yujian and the concubine Xiao Yu and others to plot to establish the king of Jin, Yelu Yanxi also knew that after he was defeated by 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin State, his prestige was lost, and he was suspicious and suspicious, and when he heard that someone was going to rebel, he immediately gave Xiao Yu and other people to death, and even the biological mother of the king of Jin, Concubine Wen, was given to death. Only Yelu Yu saw that he was in the army, heard the news, and led his troops to join the Jin State.

Most of this matter is a clan, so the generals of the clan are now cautious.

Although Yelu Dashi also had prestige in the army, his official position was not as high as that of his younger brother Yelu, and he could not decide the march of the army.

After receiving Xiongzhou's request for help, Yelu Dashi asked Yelu to send troops again, but was once again rejected by Yelu Dezhong.

Yelu Dashi had no choice but to write a letter to the governor of Xiongzhou, asking him to mobilize the people to defend the city, and wait for the soldiers and horses of the Liang State to attack the city, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Liao State would cross the river and raid and defeat the soldiers and horses of the Liang State in one fell swoop.

Yelu Dashi originally wanted to deceive the governor of Xiongzhou to hold on, once the soldiers and horses of Daliang surrounded the city, then Daliao would not send troops, and he could only hold on to the end.

Unexpectedly, he was recognized by the governor of Xiongzhou, abandoned the city and fled, but let Daliang recover Xiongzhou without a single soldier.

In fact, it's not that Xiongzhou Zhizhou is smart, but that he doesn't dare to let the people go to the city, and the people on the border hate the Liao State one by one. And he also had no confidence in when the soldiers and horses of the Liao State would come to help, and the soldiers and horses of the Liao State had been gathered for a long time, but they had never crossed the river, which made him have to wonder whether the Liao State dared to fight on both sides.

With only 2,000 people guarding a huge city, the siege of the city is still invincible Liang soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that it is enough to hold for an hour, so the governor of Xiongzhou fled with a few henchmen. Disobeying Yelu Dashi's order, he did not dare to flee to the Liao State, and the south was the territory of Daliang. can only flee west to Hedong, Tian Hu's territory, and find a way out.

Another situation that he didn't expect was Liang Guo's reaction to asking for New Year's coins, he originally thought that Liang Guoguo would agree, and then he could send another envoy to ask for more New Year's coins, and at the same time paralyze Liang, and Liao would go south.

Unexpectedly, Da Liang actually directly published the Di newspaper and recruited brave soldiers to resist the invasion of Liao.

In this way, it seems that the southward movement of Da Liao will not be too smooth, of course, it is only not very smooth, and he does not think that the soldiers and horses of Da Liang can stop the soldiers of Da Liao.

As soon as he rode a distant Pegasus, he arrived at the Baigou River, and the soldiers on the horse pulled the reins of the horse, and the galloping war horse completed the transformation from dynamic to static in an instant.

This is the most elite remote barricade of the Liao State, and it is also the reliance of the Liao State to go south.

Although Yelu Dashi could not send a large army across the river, he could send some distant guards to cross the border to inquire about the news.

"Report, the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang have entered the city."

Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "Can you see the banner of Prince Daliang?" ”

"The Chinese army has a banner of a four-clawed golden dragon."

The state capitals of Hebei wantonly printed and distributed newspapers, and the Liao State could naturally get it.

Yelu Dashi saw the news in the newspaper that Prince Daliang personally went north to fight Liao, but Chao Yong came so quickly was still a little unexpected to him.

Since you're here, let me put an end to your invincible record. As long as the invincible prince advertised by Daliang is defeated, most of the fighting spirit of the Han people instigated by Daliang will collapse.

Yelu Dashi took a deep look at the direction of Xiongzhou, and then also turned his horse to the camp of the Liao State.

Besides, after the Liang soldiers and horses entered Xiongzhou City, Chao Yong let people go out to settle the people, and at the same time searched for these officials who were said to be harming the people, but those officials saw that the situation was not good, and most of them had fled, and only a few who were lucky to hide at home were reported and arrested by the people.

Early the next morning, Chao Yong had these officials who had defected to the Liao State and oppressed the people publicly executed at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Although the people in the city knew that a big war was about to break out and Xiongzhou would be baptized by war, most of them still chose to stay and live and die with their homeland, because they knew that it would not be much better to leave their homeland, and the people on the border were already strong. The few who wanted to go to other places to escape the war also rushed to the city gate early in the morning, preparing to leave the city, so as not to be blocked by the Liao soldiers in Xiongzhou.

The south gate of Xiongzhou slowly opened.

The centurion who was defending the city shouted to the people waiting at the gate of the city: "Everyone has the same money, line up to receive it, don't crowd it." You're the first, and a few of you are behind him. ”

The first soldier guarding the city opened a sack and revealed strings of copper coins, and couldn't help but be stunned. Then his face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground and begged: "The general spares his life, the villain is the only son in the family, and he can't go to the battlefield." ”

The centurion was stunned for a moment and said: "Who wants you to go to the battlefield, this is the prince's entanglement for you, let you go to relatives and friends." ”

The man looked at the centurion suspiciously and said, "Don't you want to pull the strong man?" ””

Ruan Xiaoqi on the side looked at the crying man, and said impatiently: "Whoever wants a soft egg like you to go to the battlefield, hurry up and get out of the money." ”

Ruan Xiaoer glared at Ruan Xiaoqi and shouted, "It's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out." A penny is difficult for a hero, and the prince knows that the road is difficult, so he specially asked someone to send you some coils. When we have repelled the Liao soldiers, you will come back. ”

"I've only heard of the general who pulls the strong ding, and when have you heard of the general who sent the coil. Don't go, go home. Liao Dog came and helped the prince fight Liao Dog. ”

"Yes, how could such a prince lead the troops defeat the battle and not leave."

But in an instant, most of them turned around and left. Only a few people took the money out of the city, but they were also very grateful to the prince.

Of course, there was a role for the crown prince, but the main thing was that the people who insisted on leaving also fled when the officials in the city fled yesterday.

Ruan Xiaoer glared at Ruan Xiaoqi and said, "Listen to those who go out of the city, can the prince's money be thrown away in vain?" They don't get to preach the benefits of the prince everywhere when they go out. To conquer foreign nations is to use killing, and to conquer compatriots can only subdue the hearts of the people. What the prince said was the truth. ”
