Chapter Seventy-Eight: Drink Calmly and Drink Happily and Wave the Golden Bowl (1)

Ye Pei won two battles in Yingzhou and Yizhou, and he was also fluttering. After all, she was still young, and she thought that war was nothing more than that. But the reality was so cruel that she soon learned her lesson.

After the First Battle of Yizhou, the Song army could immediately cross the Great Wall and approach the hinterland of the Liao State. Whether it is war or peace, there are endless debates in the court.

Because of the victory along the way, the main battle faction felt that it was necessary to expand the results of the victory and negotiate peace on better terms, so as to ensure peace for several decades.

The Lord and the faction believe that if you see a good thing, you should accept it, and do not lose the good results you have achieved. Now that the Liao State has retreated beyond the Great Wall, the goal has been achieved, and there is no need to drive straight into the border of the Liao State. Moreover, once it entered the Liao State, the Song army changed from active to passive, the development of the situation was difficult to control, the battle line was too long, and the gains outweighed the losses.

After a struggle, the privy envoy Han Qi and the prime minister Fan Zhongyan still decided to cross the Great Wall, expand the results of the battle, and negotiate peace with Liao again in a victorious manner.

After receiving the holy decree, Yang Wenguang determined the next policy against Liao, and attacked the Great Wall in a fan shape, Yijin Pass, Sikou Pass, and Waqiao Pass, and started a war at the same time. Commander Yang Wenguang led an army of 150,000 to attack Waqiao Pass, Ye Pei led 100,000 troops to attack Yijin Pass, and Chongxue Wu led 80,000 troops to attack Sikou Pass.

Not to mention Yang Wenguang, Chongxue and others, Ye Pei is alone.

Ye Pei led his troops all the way north, conquered Yijin Pass in a few days, and marched to sweep Xiongzhou, Bazhou, and Gu'an, and approached the territory of Zhuozhou.

Ye Pei was supposed to stand still after passing through the Yijin Pass, waiting for Yang Wenguang and others to cooperate after entering the pass, and forced into Zhuozhou and Youzhou with an angle of strength. However, Ye Pei was young and vigorous, and it was too easy to fight all the way, so he thought that after Xiao Xiaoli was injured first and Xiao Xiaoli died, the Liao State lacked soldiers and major generals, and no one could fight the battle, so he couldn't help but be proud and complacent, and he rashly advanced against the enemy.

Ye Pei couldn't wait for Yang Wenguang and the others, and wanted to lead the troops to test Zhuozhou first, which was called "the speed of the soldiers"!

This Zhuozhou is adjacent to Nanjing, the Liao State, and is known as the southern gate of Xijin Mansion. It is adjacent to Gu'an in the east, Laishui in the west, and backed by Taihang, occupying a unique strategic location.

At this time, it was the height of summer, Ye Pei set up camp in the dense forest fifty miles away from Zhuozhou, found two guides, and personally led the cavalry to check the terrain. Deeper into the woods, she always felt that someone was following her, but she couldn't find any clues when she turned around.

On the third day, Ye Pei led 5,000 cavalry to raid Zhuozhou, Zhuozhou City was unexpectedly vulnerable, Zhuozhou garrison Cao Deren surrendered the city, and fled to Youzhou by himself.

Ye Pei immediately ordered Huang Jian and others to gather the rest of Zhuozhou, and he personally led 30,000 horses to pursue Cao Deren.

Just over the mountain pass, the banner on the hillside was unfurled, and tens of thousands of cavalry ran down, and on the two handsome flags with red background and black edges, a huge "Xiao" character was embroidered. Ye Pei weighed in his heart, whose army would this be? Xiao Xiaoxian or Xiao Xiaomu?

Waiting for the vanguard cavalry to line up on both sides, a horse in the middle took the lead to run out of a general, golden helmet and golden armor, the dragon heart guard on his chest shining with golden light, and riding a purple horse under his crotch, majestic.

Look at this person again, seven feet five or six tall, strong and stocky, a big man, big ears, two whiskers on his mouth, and a pair of Danfeng eyes are looking at Ye Pei with a smile.

When Ye Pei saw this person, she was both surprised and frightened, and she shouted, "Brother Xiao, it's you!" ”

Xiao Shinan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Le'an, I've been waiting here for a long time!" "The person who came was Xiao Shinan, the king of Nanping in Liao.

Since Xiao Shinan and Ye Pei in Bianliang City were separated, they hadn't seen each other for two or three years, and they couldn't imagine that the goodbye between the two would be before the enemy and us.

During this period, Xiao Shinan's father Xiao Xuyuan died of illness, and his son Xiao Shinan succeeded him to the title of King of Nanping.

Originally, Xiao Yunjin, the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom, was afraid that the mercenaries in Nanjing were too heavy

Directly suppressed the king of Nanping. However, this time Xiao Xiaoxian was seriously injured, Xiao Xiaoli died in front of the army, and there were rebels in the north of Liao, Xiao Xiaomu, Yelu and other generals were busy dealing with the rear, and the Song-Liao front was tired of coping, Xiao Yunjin was helpless, so Xiao Shinan led Nanjing to guard 80,000 elite soldiers to resist the Song army.

At this time, Xiao Shinan had already heard of Ye Pei's heroic feats in Daizhou and Yizhou, and admired him very much. Knowing that the strength of the army was far inferior to that of the Song army, he had to resort to the strategy of luring the enemy into depth.

He sent heavy troops to guard Waqiao Pass and Sikou Pass to block Yang Wenguang and Chongxue Wu. But he only let Ye Pei enter the customs, and made Ye Pei feel like a bamboo, invincible.

He knew Ye Pei's personality and knew that with her character, he would inevitably be arrogant, and then block Ye Pei at the mouth of Zhuozhou, preparing to capture it in one fell swoop, and then use this as a threat to make the Song army retreat.

Sure enough, Ye Pei fought one battle after another, and she fought too easily, and she really chose to advance alone and met Xiao Shinan at the mouth of Zhuozhou.

Ye Pei said: "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you and I to meet in front of the enemy today. ”

Xiao Shinan said: "I was a friend in the past, and this king is honored!" Now you and I are both for the country, not for personal enemies! ”

"It's a pity that the sword has no eyes, and if you don't distinguish between victory and defeat, it's hard to see the face of the king." Ye Pei had already drawn the Ichthyosaurus whip in his hand, ready to attack.

Xiao Shinan was still dashing, and said with a smile: "Does the Ye family sister really want to do it with me?" ”

Ye Pei knew that he was far from Xiao Shinan's opponent, but when he was forced to such a point, could he be caught? Ye Pei gritted his teeth and said secretly: "It's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and you will be loyal to the country!" ”

Thinking of this, Ye Pei didn't say much, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the black horse stepped on the snow like an arrow from the string and rushed towards Xiao Shinan.

Who knew that Xiao Shinan didn't show his weapon, and the purple flying dragon under his crotch also ran out with high hooves. When Ye Pei ran in front of him and shook out the fish and dragon whip in his hand, Xiao Shinan suddenly had a pair of gloves in his hand, leather braiding, and metal soft wire in the middle.

The horse's head was wrong, Xiao Shinan had already grabbed Ye Pei's waist with his left hand and pulled her out of the horse's pedal. This move was too fast, like a flash of lightning, Ye Pei had already left the black horse and stepped on the snow, was held in Xiao Shinan's arms, and sat on his purple flying dragon with Xiao Shinan.

The leather gloves on Xiao Shinan's hand were specially made to deal with Ye Pei's ichthyosaur whip, which could directly pull the ichthyosaur whip to prevent the scales from scratching the skin.

Ye Pei's right hand holding the whip pulled back at this time, but it was no match for Xiao Shinan's strength, she knew Xiao Shinan's intentions, so she simply let go.

Xiao Shinan took back the fish and dragon whip, grabbed the left hand on Ye Pei's waist and was suddenly broken by the reaction, Ye Pei had already jumped into the air, and a "hawk harrier turned over" to Xiao Shinan's back, and hit Xiao Shinan's heart violently with both hands, making a move "Goshawk Hitting the Rabbit", wanting to use his strength to jump out of Xiao Shinan's control.

Xiao Shinan was such a master, and immediately understood Ye Pei's intentions. Not only did he not attack, but he came to "hide in the kick", took Ye Pei's left hand with him, and captured her back. He turned over and got on the horse, still sitting firmly behind Ye Pei.

Ye Pei was angry and annoyed, kicked back with his left leg in the saddle, and swept Xiao Shinan's door. Xiao Shinan's body left the saddle, dodged this flying kick, pulled Ye Pei's right leg, flipped Ye Pei, and pulled him back to the saddle.

The soldiers of the two armies against each other didn't see what was going on, and the two had already sat on the same horse and fought for more than ten moves.

From an outsider's point of view, the relationship between the two seems to be very close, and Xiao Shinan always smiles and teases a few rounds like a joke. Although Ye Pei tried his best, he still did not escape

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

Get out of Xiao Shinan's arms.

Xiao Shinan smiled slightly and said to Ye Pei: "Sister of the Ye family, don't waste your efforts. ”

Ye Pei gasped, wanting to explode but didn't know what to do. At this time, her right hand was carried behind her by Xiao Shinan, and it was difficult to break free, Ye Pei made a counterattack with his left fist, and hit Xiao Shinan in the neck, with a move "Comet Attacking the Moon".

Xiao Shinan hung the fish and dragon whip on Ye Pei's waist, his right hand was freed, and his oblique palm shook Ye Pei's left fist, and easily pulled her left hand back to her back. This time, Ye Pei had no power to fight back.

I only heard Xiao Shinan shouting: "Collect the troops!" "The Liao army retreated into the valley like a flood.

Huang Jian and the others saw that Ye Pei was captured, and they were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but they were afraid that they would be ambushed by the enemy and not only the whole army would be destroyed, but also hurt Ye Pei's life, so they had to retreat to Zhuozhou City, and quickly informed Yang Wenguang to discuss the next step.

------

Besides, Xiao Shinan dragged Ye Pei back to the Liao army camp. Due to the scorching heat of midsummer, Xiao Shinan handed Ye Pei over to two female soldiers to take care of after returning to the tent, and he was served by his attendants, taking off his armor, and freshening up and changing his clothes.

Ye Pei looked at Xiao Shinan's military tent, which was much more magnificent and brilliant than Yang Wenguang's, after all, Xiao Shinan was the prince's honor. Moreover, the Khitan were nomadic people, and before they learned the Han system and built palaces, the royal palace was in this royal tent mode. Therefore, the Khitan people are more adept at the construction of this dome leather tent.

Xiao Shinan's handsome tent is ten zhang away, the top is about a battle high, and the ground is raised with a wooden frame and covered with wool carpet. The tents are all sewn with sheepskin, and there are small windows on the front, back, left and right for ventilation. The large tent was surrounded by a number of small tents, which were convenient for the attendants to serve or guard.

There is a desk table on the main seat of the handsome tent, and there is a Hu bed behind it, and behind the Hu bed is surrounded by a screen, on which are painted eight horses of the gods. Through the gap in the screen, Ye Pei knew that it was a resting couch, and when he looked at it faintly, there was a complete tiger skin on it, and he suddenly felt cold.

At this moment, Xiao Shinan walked back to the handsome tent, and he had already turned into a wealthy Khitan prince with countless pigtails on his head, holding it with jade rings, wearing gold rings in his ears, and wearing cool silk clothes.

Xiao Shinan saw that Ye Pei was actually tied up with hemp rope by female soldiers, and severely reprimanded the two of them.

"How dare you snub the Lord of Le'an so much?!"

"King!" The two of them were so frightened that they retreated again and again, and stood aside respectfully.

Xiao Shinan walked to Ye Pei's side, untied her with his own hands, and took off the phoenix wings on Ye Pei's head.

"I really neglected the Lord of Le'an, I hope to forgive my sins!" Xiao Shinan looked like a smile but not a smile again.

Ye Peixin said: You don't have to act with me, now you are a knife warrior, I am a fish and meat, why bother acting coyly? Ye Pei tilted his head to one side and ignored him.

At this time, Xiao Shinan instructed the female soldiers, "It's hot in this summer, why don't you serve the lord of Le'an County to freshen up?" ”

The two female soldiers stepped forward and said, "Yes, King! ”

Saying that, the two of them took Ye Pei to the small tent next to the handsome tent, took off her armor, freshened up and changed her clothes, and Ye Pei also changed into a comfortable silk cooler.

Ye Pei looked at the decoration in the tent, which was quite like the style of the Song Dynasty military tent, and then looked at the clothes presented by the female soldiers, which were the round-necked yarn shirts that he often wore in Bianliang. Look up and look at these two female soldiers, although they are soldiers of the Liao State, they are Han women belonging to the Liao State.

Ye Pei's heart is like a mirror, all of this is like the pair of silver silk leather gloves that Xiao Shinan wore in front of the battle, which was specially prepared to capture himself.

A wry smile appeared on Ye Pei's face, "It turns out that I have already entered Xiao Shinan's trap, but I am still self-righteous and self-defeating!" ”
