As soon as Ye Pei came out of Daizhou, the battle report was passed to the official Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen held the 100,000 urgent battle report in his hand, trembling with anger.

"Tan Xin is not so bold! actually gave up Daizhou, did not help or rescue, and watched the fire from the other side, how did this do the commander of the three armies? ”

As he spoke, he said to Yang Chongxun, the official of the undertaker: "Draw up the decree for me, remove Tan Xinwei, the commander of the Northern Army, from all his positions, and escort him back to Beijing with the deputy general Xing Baochen for disposal!" ”

After that, Zhao Zhen discussed with Fan Zhongyan and others, and reassigned Yang Wenguang as the commander to support the dispatch of troops to Yingzhou.

This Yang Wenguang is the grandson of the founding general Yang Ye, the famous Yang general. He had fought against Western Xia with Di Qing and others under Fan Zhongyan, and was stationed in Hebei at this time, serving as the general manager of Dingzhou Road, and sending him to the middle of the country.

After the next dynasty, Zhao Zhen was angry, Chen Zhongyi knew the official family's thoughts, and advised: "The official family, the lord of Le'an County is a blessed general, and there must be heavenly help." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's all because I was soft-hearted for a while, and I sent her to this dangerous situation, I don't know how much I suffered!" ”

"If you don't endure hardship, it is difficult to be a master. If the county lord of Le'an was not in front of the battle, who would have known that she would have such cultivation and be able to fight against the 250,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army with 5,000 men and horses! If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. Officials don't have to worry too much! ”

"The sword has no eyes, how do you know that it will go well next time? I can only send another capable person to protect her safety from happening again! Zhao Zhen said with a heavy heart.

On the second day, the holy decree was issued again, and Ye Pei's side was promoted, and sixteen people, including Huang Jian and Cui Kui, the soldiers who defended the city in Daizhou, were promoted to three levels in a row, and the other soldiers were promoted to one level, and the families of the dead and wounded were comforted by silver money. 3,000 cattle and sheep and 10,000 jars of wine were sent to the front line to comfort all the soldiers. The main camp of Le'an County is arranged according to the number of escorts in the commander's account.

As soon as the holy decree arrived, the whole army cheered, and everyone was grateful for Ye Pei's kindness. Not only the soldiers from Daizhou, but even the garrisons in Yingzhou, Mozhou and other places are also proud of Ye Jianjun, and they are proud to be able to obey Ye Pei's orders.

In this way, the morale of the army is cohesive and morale is more uplifted!

------

After the Liao army withdrew to Yizhou, Xiao Xiaoxian couldn't afford to fall ill, and the Empress Dowager Fatian changed him back to Zhongjing to recuperate, and sent his brother Xiao Xiaoli as the commander to garrison Yizhou.

The Liao and Song armies confronted each other, and the Liao army suffered a loss, did not dare to trespass, and held out. However, the Song army's battle line was much longer than that of the Liao army, and it had previously implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and the material transportation relied entirely on the rear supply, and the longer the time dragged on, the greater the consumption, which was not conducive to the war.

After Yang Wenguang arrived in Yingzhou, he summoned the whole army to discuss the strategy. Ye Pei invited himself to be the pioneer in Qizhou.

Although Yang Wenguang received a secret order from the official Zhao Zhen to ensure the safety of the county lord of Le'an, but now that Ye Pei's army is in full swing, everyone is eager to look at Yang Wenguang, so that he no longer doubts Ye Pei's ability, and immediately allocated 20,000 horses and horses to fight with Ye Pei in Qizhou, and he commanded the army to supervise the battle.

The battle went much smoother than expected, after five days of fierce fighting, the Liao army abandoned the city and fled, and then Ye Pei went all the way north, broke Wangdu, captured Beipingsai, and approached the city of Yizhou. At this time, Yang Wenguang saw Ye Pei's ability, and he no longer hesitated, boldly let go, and let her show her ambitions.

Yizhou was at the forefront of the Song-Liao campaign and the base of the Liao army at this time, and when Ye Pei arrived at the city of Yizhou with Yang Wenguang, it was already evening.

Ye Pei looked at this magnificent city with a wall more than ten feet high, and let out an exclamation.

She looked down differently in Daizhou City, and at this time she was looking up at this city. Winter turns to spring, everything recovers, the high city that is resolutely independent in the blood-red afterglow, surrounded by endless grasslands, with the Yishui River flowing through in the distance, and a patch of birds perched on the wetland.

"This is really a place with abundant water and plants! If it weren't for the war, the herdsmen herdsmen herded horses and the farmers farmed, what a beautiful picture of cultivation and weaving! Ye Pei sighed, his eyes revealing infinite embarrassment.

Yang Wenguang rode on a white and black-spotted jade flower horse, pointed at Yizhou City with a horsewhip, and asked Ye Pei beside him, "What is General Ye thinking at this time?" ”

Ye Pei said with a smile: "I'm thinking about ending the war as soon as possible, returning the land to the people, and resuming farming and weaving!" ”

"Hmm!" Yang Wenguang nodded approvingly, "General Ye is benevolent and loving, then we will let this campaign end as soon as possible!" ”

With that, Yang Wenguang returned to the camp, convened the generals, and held a strategic meeting to capture Yizhou that night.

At this time, Xiao Xiaoli, the commander of the Liao army, was different from Xiao Xiaoxian, Xiao Xiaoxian was very happy, but Xiao Xiaoli was conservative and calm. The Song army surrounded and annihilated Yizhou, they held on for more than half a month, with the help of high walls and strong walls, there was plenty of grain and grass, but they did not go out of the city to fight.

The Song army was eager to fight, and strived to fight quickly, and when they encountered Xiao Xiaoli, who could not escape, they attacked the city several times a day, but they all ended in failure, and Yang Wenguang was also in a hurry.

At this time, Ye Pei did not seem to be in a hurry, and ordered Huang Jian to lead the craftsman to start casting the ladder car.

"Luban Book" has clouds: the cloud ladder can stand according to the clouds, so it looks at the enemy's city. The ladder truck cast by Luban is taller, more complex and stronger than ordinary ladders.

It had a wooden bed as a base, and six wheels were placed under the base for easy pushing by the sergeant. The ladder section is divided into two sections, the lower part is a fixed ladder with an angle, and the upper part is a movable ladder with an axle.

During the siege, the soldiers pushed the ladder cart to the root of the city wall, and then the upper part of the ladder was unfolded with rollers, the gears rotated, stuck, and it was extremely strong, and the upper half of the ladder was placed on the city wall, and there was a small hook to grasp the head of the wall, and the general force could not make it get out of the wall.

Ye Pei transformed the bed crossbow again, tilted it upward, changed the previous four-edged feathers to three-edged, lengthened the shaft of ordinary arrows, and cast it into an iron crossbow arrow that was shorter than a spear and much longer than an ordinary arrow, which not only increased the frequency of fire, but also increased the stability of the crossbow arrow flying in the air, and also strengthened the lethality of ordinary crossbow arrows.

Yang Wenguang was amazed when he saw what Ye Pei had done.

"General Ye is really a god!"

Ye Pei said with a smile: "I studied under Bashan, my master Bashan used to be the best at making weapons, and he was called a fairy hand. ”

Yang Wenguang approvingly: "I see! ”

Ye Pei also said: "I once read the Book of Luban in Master's library, so I also know some principles of making instruments for attacking cities and seizing land. ”

Yang Wenguang's originally approving gaze heard Ye Pei mention the "Book of Luban", and suddenly frowned and asked, "The Book of Luban"? But that forbidden book called "Missing a Door"? ”

"Hmm." Ye Pei nodded.

Legend has it that this book is ominous, and those who read it are all lonely, poor, young, or dead. How did General Ye ......"

Ye Pei interrupted Yang Wenguang's words and said, "The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." No book is good or bad, and the reader knows it. Like martial arts, you can kill,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It can also save people. This "Book of Luban" is just about writing the method of conquest and building equipment to help attack and defend, what is good or bad? ”

Yang Wenguang turned his worries into joy, and said with a smile: "General Ye is young, and he has a broad mind, but Wenguang is not as broad!" "Yang Wenguang is twelve years older than Ye Pei, he is a family of military generals, and he has the style of a Confucian general.

Ye Pei smiled and said, "It's just the truth that my master told me." ”

According to legend, Lu Ban cut bamboo and wood to think that he could take advantage of the wind and would not land for three days. It is also said that Lu Ban made a kind of wooden oxen and flowing horses, which can move on their own without manpower. Is this all true? Yang Wenguang asked curiously.

"It is indeed recorded in the ancient books, but this method has also been lost, and I have never seen it. To say that "Luban Book" is cursed, it is probably because of the wooden bird he made.

Legend has it that Luban forged weapons for many countries, and did not return home for half a year, and his wife, who was already pregnant, sent him a letter to tell him about his lovesickness, and he sent it back to the wooden bird and let his wife ride to find him.

But on the way, his wife rode a wooden bird in the sky overlooking the earth, and there was a tragic scene of corpses left by the war everywhere, and Luban's wife couldn't help but shed tears. As soon as Luban's wife cried, the wooden bird suddenly fell from the sky, and even the adults and the children in their wombs fell to death. ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, his face was full of unbearable feelings. Ye Pei continued: "Lu Ban learned the news of his wife's death, he was in pain, he regretted making weapons for all countries and aiding the abuse, so he cursed on the "Book of Lu Ban", if anyone reads this book again and helps the war, he will not die well!" ”

Yang Wenguang frowned and said, "There can be such a thing!" ”

Ye Pei nodded, "Yes!" After that, Lu Ban gave up the act of casting weapons and instead made production tools, and he later invented saws, stone mills, Lu Ban rulers, Lu ban locks, etc., which promoted production and allowed the people to live a better life. ”

Yang Wenguang looked at the upper reaches of the Yishui River and sighed: "In this way, I don't know whether the death of Luban's wife is fortunate or unfortunate!" ”

Ye Pei's heart suddenly sank, and she didn't know why a strange thought came to her: She had no chance with Zhao Zhen like this, could it be that she was cursed after reading "Luban Book"?

Hehe, he turned his mind and laughed at himself: As Yang Wenguang said, blessings and misfortunes? Don't you know that fate didn't let me come to the battlefield to be baptized and grow some compassion?

Ye Pei thought of hunting with her master when she was a child, and she was afraid of wolves and deer on the way, she sighed to herself that there was no need to be sad in vain, everything just went with the flow!

Another day passed, and there was still no plan to attack the city. Ye Pei and Yang Wenguang went farther upstream of the Yishui River to inspect the military situation and think about ways to break the enemy.

This Yizhou is named because of its proximity to Yishui, and there is Yishui first and then Yizhou. The ancient "wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return" is the easy water river that is said.

The Yishui River is divided into three branches, namely Yishui, Xushui, and Laishui, and the junction of the three rivers comes out of Yizhou City. The source of easy water comes from Taihang, the middle stream swamp is continuous, it is the spring flood at this time, the water is abundant, and the water and grass are abundant.

Yang Wenguang led Ye Pei to climb Langya Mountain in the north, overlooking the entire Yizhou City.

Ye Pei saw that the winding river was connected like a star-like swamp wetland, and suddenly thought of a plan.

Facing Yang Wenguang, who was frowning, Ye Pei first said: "Yang Shuai, what do you think in the face of this turbulent river?" ”
