Wei Zhaode said with a smile: "The Khitan people have used all their money for enjoyment, and it is no wonder that in just a few decades, the combat effectiveness of the Khitan army has plummeted!" Xiao "Yebule sighed: "General Wei is right, I think that the indomitable spirit of our Khitan people has long been gone!" After winning the country, they are all greedy for enjoyment, where is there still a little enterprising spirit, and ordinary soldiers have no intention of joining the army because of the hardships of their families and the continuous tricks of the imperial court. ”

Yang Peng walked to the top and turned around.

At this moment, Ya Yu Guanyin walked in quickly and reported: "Big brother, I have inspected all the large warehouses, except for the southern large warehouse, which was burned in the battle, the remaining five large warehouse troops are intact, among which grain, grass, baggage, heavy armor and armor are piled up, and there are countless gold and silver. ”

Han Qi stepped forward and bowed first, "Your Majesty, the minister has a request. ”

Yang Peng looked at Han Qixian, "Say it." ”

Han Qi said first: "The people in the city have been severely harmed by the Liao court these days, and many people have gone bankrupt!" The minister begged His Majesty to take out part of the money and grain in the warehouse to help the people in the city, and asked Your Majesty for permission! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin said to Han Qixian: "Big brother originally planned to do this. ”

When Han Qi heard this, he was moved, and hurriedly bowed: "The fathers and villagers of the whole city of the ministers thank Your Majesty!" Then he knocked his head three times in a row before he stood up.

Ye Yu Guanyin said to Yang Peng: "The specific amount of money, grain and materials in various warehouses cannot be counted for the time being, but it is preliminarily estimated that there are more than two million taels of grain, more than three million taels of silver, and more than 300,000 taels of gold. Yang Peng said: "Just take out the general money and grain to help the people of Dading Mansion and the entire Zhongjing Road." Xiao Yebule and Han Qixian didn't expect Yang Peng to take out half of the loot as soon as he opened his mouth, and they couldn't help but be startled, and then Han Qixian knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, Xiao Yebula also had a look of reverence.

Yang Peng said to Han Qixian: "As the prefect of Dading Mansion, you are fully responsible for the civil affairs of the entire Zhongjing Road for the time being." Han Qi bowed first: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!" He then stood up and retreated to his place.

Yang Peng looked at Ya Yu Guanyin and asked, "What else does the treasury have besides grain, gold and silver?" ”

Ye Yu Guanyin said: "There are also armor equipment, which is estimated to be able to equip almost 100,000 people. ”

Yang Peng said in surprise: "Since there are so many armor equipment, why is the equipment of the people's army in the city so simple?" "The civilian army temporarily armed by Ahadan is only equipped with swords and guns, and there is no armor, so it can be said that the equipment is extremely rudimentary.

Han Qixian immediately said: "It must be that Ahadan is not worried about the people's army, after all, he just did something like that to the people in the city!" Therefore, they were only given simple equipment, and in their minds, they must have thought that the people's army would not have the courage to have a different heart if it was poorly equipped, and even if it had a different heart, it would be easy to suppress! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "This is called covering your ears and stealing the bell." The crowd laughed.

Yang Peng's eyes looked at Ye Yu Guanyin, and Ye Yu Guanyin continued: "In addition to grain, grass, gold, silver, ordnance and armor, there is also a large amount of Liao State money, probably more than 500,000 strings. ”

Wei Zhaode said: "Your Majesty, now that the Ming Dynasty has pacified the Dading Mansion, the money system of this Liao State is really out of date, so it is better to recast it all!" And it should also prohibit the circulation of Liao's money! ”

Korean companies immediately objected: "No, no! Wei Zhaode stared at Han Qi first, he felt that if the other party surrendered to Hu Lu and dared to oppose him in public, it was simply disrespectful! However, I feel that His Majesty seems to have full trust in this Hulu, so Wei Zhaode did not come out.

Han Qixian didn't notice Wei Zhaode's expression, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these coins should not be recast, let alone ban the circulation of Liaoguo's coins!" ”

Wei Zhaode couldn't help but reprimand: "When you talk like this, it's clear that you still think about Liaoguo in your heart!" ”

Han Qi was startled first, and hurriedly said to Yang Peng: "The minister has no such thoughts!" The reason why the minister opposes it is purely out of public interest! The minister thought that the smelting and recasting of money was time-consuming and laborious, and the consumption was quite expensive, and it was even more impossible to prohibit the private circulation of Liaoguo money! Your Majesty, the savings of many people in their lives are just one or two small pots of money, and if it is forbidden to circulate, the money in the hands of the people will become waste, so how will those people live? ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The ban on the circulation of Liaoguo money can make the people impermanence go to the government to exchange for Ming money!" ”

Wei Zhaode immediately chimed in: "Your Majesty is absolutely right! Then he said to Han Qixian: "Don't bluff people here, there is nothing that can't be solved to this problem!" ……”

Yang Peng raised his right hand and signaled Wei Zhaode to shut up. Wei Zhaode originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach Han Qi a good lesson, but when he saw His Majesty stop him, he had to swallow back the basket of words behind.

Yang Peng said: "Although the losses of the people can be solved, such a toss is really time-consuming, laborious and costly, and it is completely unnecessary to let the people and the officials toss for no reason." Wei Zhaode couldn't help but be anxious when he saw His Majesty's words turn around and say such a thing, "Your Majesty, how can our Ming Dynasty use the Liao people's money?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "What's not to do?" Are you at odds with the meaning of the money? I don't think that's a problem. The people will only care about whether life is good or not, but they will not care who made this money! The Liao Kingdom has been defeated by us, so why care about the identity of this money-making system! The responsibility of the government is to make it as convenient as possible for the people, and don't toss if it is convenient! These ethereal things, you don't have to bother! ”

Everyone felt that what His Majesty said was very reasonable, and Li Xu said to Zhaode: "Have you heard what the eldest brother said?" A dignified Ming general, how to be narrow-minded! Wei Zhaode was reprimanded by his boss and was depressed.

At this moment, several guards came in with a fat middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes. The leading guard hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "Your Majesty, the prefect of Liao State, Azig, brought it." ”

When Azig heard the title of the guard, he knew that the imposing young man standing at the top was actually the legendary Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell to the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Why should I spare your life?" ”

Azigden's face was colorless, his body swayed, and he stammered: "Little, small, small, villain, villain never dared to be an enemy of His Majesty, villain, villain was originally going to escape from the city, but was blocked back by that bastard of Ahadan!" ......" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel infinite resentment towards Ahadan in my heart, and then I thought of my current situation, and became infinitely afraid, and kowtowed vigorously to beg for mercy, only saying that he was a hard-working man, and he had never wanted to be an enemy of Daming, nor had he ever endangered Daming, and begged His Majesty Daming to spare his life.

Seeing him so ugly, Yari Guanyin was greatly annoyed and shouted, "Azig, you shut up for me!" The face of the Khitan people has been lost by you! ”

Azig was frightened, and only then did he notice Ya Yin Guanyin, whose willow eyebrows were upside down, and his face was full of anger, and he exclaimed: "Princess!" ”

Ya Kannon shouted, "Do you still recognize me? You are so greedy for life and afraid of death, you are not worthy of being a Khitan at all! The more you want to live, the more I won't let you live! With that, he drew his scimitar and strode forward. Azig was so frightened that his face was colorless, and Ya Yu Guanyin cut off his round head with a single sword, and rolled to the ground with a grunt, and blood was instantly spilled on the ground. Han Qixian glared at his eyes, with a look of horror, he didn't expect this Guanyin Niangniang to be so strong, and then he couldn't help thinking: "It's better to meet than to be famous!" Guanyin Niangniang is really much more powerful than the legend! Then he thought: "Guanyin Niangniang was originally the eldest princess of the Liao Kingdom, Your Majesty may make Guanyin Niangniang sit in the northern Xinjiang, I have to be careful, don't anger Guanyin Niangniang!" ’

Yang Peng ordered someone to drag Azig's body down, and then threw a smile at Ya Yan Guanyin, who gave Yang Peng a blank look and returned to his place.

Yang Peng glanced at the generals and said, "Dading Mansion has been taken, and the next thing is the Songshan Pavilion." Then he said to Li Xu: "Li Xu, leave 2,000 men and horses to help Han enterprises guard Dading Mansion first." Li Xu clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng said to Han Qi first: "The civilian army in the city does not need to be dismissed, you are responsible for commanding it." I'll leave the safety of Dading Mansion to you. "South Korean enterprises bowed down first. Yang Peng said to the generals: "The rest of the generals will immediately march north with me and send troops to the Songshan Pavilion!" "The people will make a promise together.

At present, Gao Hu and Xiao Gan are facing off against Ye Yu Zongfu in Songshan, and the Songshan Pavilion is more than 100 miles northeast of Songshan, if Yang Peng captures the Songshan Pavilion in one fell swoop, then Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Zongfu will become the turtle in the urn.

On the same day, Yang Peng led the army to continue northward.

At the foot of Songshan, the army led by Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Zongfu fought another big battle with the Ming army, and they retreated regardless of victory or defeat.

As soon as Xiao Gan returned to the big tent, his own soldiers came to report: "Marshal, supervising the army, Ahadan is here!" Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Zongfu both showed surprise. Ye Yu Sosuke said strangely: "Ahadan doesn't guard the Dading Mansion, why did he come to us?" Xiao Gan couldn't leave and said to his soldiers: "Call him over!" The soldier said yes, ran down, and a moment later led the embarrassed Ahadan into the big tent.

Xiao Gan Buli and Ye Yu Sosuke were shocked to see Ahadan like this, Ahadan knelt down with a plop and said sadly: "Handsome, my lord, I thought I would never see you again!" Xiao Gan asked urgently, "How did you do this?" ”

"Dashuai, my lord, Dading Mansion has been lost!"

Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Zongfu didn't expect this at all, and were shocked when they heard this, Ye Yu Zongfu said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How could the Ming Army be so fast? ”

Xiao Gan couldn't believe it: "Even if the Ming army moves quickly, but Dading Mansion is different from other places, the city is majestic and strong, and the reserves are very sufficient!" No matter how brave and good the Ming army is, it is impossible to take Dading Mansion so quickly! What's going on here? Then he glared at Ahadan and shouted: "Did you neglect your duties and be taken advantage of by the Ming army to break the city?" Sosuke felt that this was the only possibility, and glared at Ahadan angrily.

Ahadan hurriedly said: "How dare the last general neglect his duties!" What's more, it's the Ming Army! Lord Dashuai didn't know that the reason why the city fell so quickly was entirely because of those untouchables in the city! Speaking of this, Ahadan showed a very resentful expression, and continued: "In order to strengthen the garrison of the city, the last general recruited 50,000 people in the city to arm themselves to help defend the city!" But just as the battle was going on at a critical moment, those untouchables, they actually turned against the city gate and raided it! As a result, the Ming army poured into the city, and although the last general fought to the death, he still couldn't resist the Ming army, and the city was lost! ”

Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Sosuke felt incredulous, and Ye Yu Sosuke asked, "You mean that all the 50,000 people's troops are on the verge of defection?" Impossible! ”

Ahadan said: "Indeed! If the last general has half a lie, he is willing to be struck by thunder and die! ”

Ye Yu Zongfu and Xiao Gan glanced at each other, Xiao Gan frowned and said, "It must be the words of the Ming people who instigated the people in the city. Ahadan immediately said: "Dashuai Mingjian, it is true!" ”

Ye Yu Zongfu said: "Dading Mansion is lost, the situation is not good!" ”

Xiao Gan said: "The Ming army is good at long-distance raids!" Emperor Daming is the best among them! Since he has occupied the Dading Mansion, he will definitely immediately wave his army and rush straight to the Songshan Pavilion! Ye Yu Sosuke and Ahadan were both shocked, and Ahadan said in panic: "Songshan Pavilion is the choke point where we retreat into Shangjing Road, if it is occupied by the Ming army, then we will be finished!" ”

Xiao Gan said categorically: "Retreat, retreat immediately!" Retreat to Matsuyamakan! Then he said to Ye Yu Zongsuke: "Without further ado, we will retreat overnight tonight!" Sosuke nodded.

Night fell, and the barren mountains and mountains were silent, except for the chirping of night owls.

The lights were still on in Gao Hu's tent, and Gao Hu was sitting under the lamp in armor looking at the map. Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the door, and it sounded very clear in the quiet night. Gao Hu raised his head, only to see Cao Jun striding in, and said with his fists clenched: "Brother Gao, just now the scout came to report that the Khitan army is retreating north!" Gao Hu was not surprised, and said, "Presumably, they already know about His Majesty's seizure of Dading Mansion." Cao Jun nodded and said, "It should be like this." It's really not easy for Xiao to leave, and he decided to retreat north immediately! This is a little different from what we expected! ”

Gao Hu said: "Your Majesty is marching towards the Gubei Pavilion, and we must hold off the Khitan army." Cao Jun said with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing, senior brother, you can give the order." ”

Let's talk about it here, Gao Hu is Gao Huaide's eldest grandson. Cao Jun is Cao Bin's second son, who defected to Yang Peng at the beginning, and the two have been defending in the north.

Gao Hu thought for a moment and said to Cao Jun: "Without further ado, please ask Brother Cao to lead his subordinates as the vanguard, and I will lead the main army to follow up." Cao Jun clenched his fists and agreed, and immediately ran down.

The silent barracks became noisy, and groups of soldiers and horses drove out of the camp. Cao Jun personally led the 10,000 cavalry of the Breaking Front Army to set off first, followed by the 40,000 Breaking Front Army infantry led by Cao Jun's deputy general Sun Haocheng, and then followed by the main army of the Ming Dynasty.

Half an hour later, the 10,000 cavalry led by Cao Jun caught up with the rear of the Khitan army, immediately rushed to kill, the Khitan army was retreating, suddenly attacked by a surprise attack, and the time was chaotic, only to see the Ming Dynasty cavalry galloping across the Khitan army to defeat the Khitan army on their backs, and then Cao Jun waved the army to follow the rout army all the way to the north to chase and kill, the dragon and the tiger leaped, and the morale was like a rainbow.

The soldiers and horses followed the rout into a small valley with lush vegetation, and saw from a distance that many enemies were rushing north, and immediately urged his soldiers to speed up.

At this moment, the whistles on the mountains on both sides suddenly rose and the shouts shook the sky, and in an instant, the torches on the mountains on both sides lit up the night sky. Cao Jun was shocked and couldn't help shouting: "It's not good! There is an ambush! Hurry back! ”

Before the words fell, arrows rained down on the mountains on both sides, and the Ming army, which was caught off guard, fell to the ground with arrows, and in the chaos, Cao Jun was also hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and all the soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to rescue. After all, the Ming army is a hundred battles elite brave and good at fighting, although it was suddenly ambushed, but a team under the leadership of the general to the mountains on both sides of the counterattack, for a while the horse's hooves rushed, shouting like thunder. The westernmost Khitan army was broken into it by Yanyun's war cavalry, and after a scuffle, it suffered heavy casualties, and collapsed when it landed. The general who led the army also saw that the Ming army was fierce, and urgently ordered his subordinates to throw oil cans and thunder. A group of flames rose in the Ming Dynasty cavalry, a loud bang one after another, the disadvantaged Ming cavalry suffered heavy casualties, wanted to continue to assault the mountain, but the war horse was difficult to climb the dangerous slope, the soldiers simply abandoned the war horse on foot to attack, for a while the sound of killing all day, the Ming soldiers rushed up the mountain one after another, and the Khitan army hurriedly met the battle.

The mountain was crowded with people, and the screams of killing echoed in the valley, and figures continued to roll down the hillside. After a while, Xian Ye saw that he couldn't resist it, and hurriedly led the army to retreat. The Ming army did not continue the pursuit because the death of the commander was unknown.

Cao Jun stood up with the support of his own soldiers, and saw that his soldiers and horses had defeated the ambush soldiers on both sides, and immediately ordered: "Hurry! The army continues to pursue northward! General Li Mu hurriedly said: "The general is not lightly injured, so let's retire temporarily!" Cao Jun shook his head and said, "No! When the enemy sees that the ambush is successful, they will be unprepared, so follow me in pursuit! Immediately, with the support of his own soldiers, he stepped on the war horse. Li Mu and other generals couldn't, so they had to lead the army to follow Cao Jun to pursue the enemy.

Na Xiao Gan and Ye Yu Zongfu led the troops and horses to retreat all the way north, and they had long expected that such an action could not be concealed from the Ming army, so they specially arranged ambushes. Soon after the army retreated north, sure enough, an alarm came from the south, and the Ming pursuers caught up. Immediately afterwards, news came that the pursuing Ming army entered the valley and was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Xiao Gan couldn't leave and Ye Yu Zong Handen was relieved.

Not long after, chaos came from behind, shouts and screams were heard from afar, and clusters of routs retreated from the south. Xiao Gan Buli and Ye Yu Zongfu were surprised, and after inquiring about the rout, they learned that although the Ming army was ambushed, it defeated the ambushed Xiao Xianye's department, and continued to catch up, and the baggage team had been raided and suffered very heavy losses.

Ye Yu Zongfu was panicked and did not know what to do, Xiao Gan immediately decided to lead the cavalry to intercept it in person, and let Ye Yu Zongfu lead the large army to continue to retreat.

Xiao Gan Buli led tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry to turn south, and soon after met the Ming army that was chasing north in the wasteland. The Mongolian cavalry was very strong, and the strength was several times that of the Ming cavalry, and after a fierce battle, the situation of the Ming army was very unfavorable.

Fortunately, at this time, the infantry of the Breaking Front Army rushed to the battlefield and immediately attacked the Mongol cavalry. Nearly 100,000 troops fought in the wilderness, the war horses rushed back and forth, the rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, sometimes the Mongolian war cavalry rushed forward and forced the Ming army to retreat again and again, when the Ming Mo knife swept rampantly, killed the Mongolian cavalry on their backs, a magnificent and heroic battle. The two sides fought viciously for more than an hour, and the Ming army could not defeat the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry could not defeat the Ming army. Xiao Gan felt that the large army had withdrawn far enough, and immediately led the Mongolian cavalry to retreat north from the battle. Where can Cao Jun let the enemy go away like this, and continue to lead the army in pursuit.

The two sides chased and walked for several battles until the foot of Matsuyama Castle. As mentioned above, Matsuyama Castle is located fifty miles northeast of Matsuyama, and fifty miles north of Matsuyama Castle is Matsuyama Pavilion.

Xiao Gan retreated into Songshan City and immediately closed the four gates. Mo Gan, the general who stayed in the city and waited for Xiao Gan to leave, immediately greeted him and reported: "Marshal, the Lord of the Prison Army has already led the army to retreat to the Songshan Pavilion, and he should have arrived at the Songshan Pavilion at this moment. Xiao Gan nodded inextricably. Xian also asked: "Dashuai, shouldn't we also withdraw to the Songshan Pavilion?" Xiao Gan shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be too cheap to withdraw like this!" He looked at the slanted and ordered: "You immediately go down and prepare fire-burning materials such as firewood!" The oblique also said yes and ran down.

Cao Jun saw that after such a long delay, the main force of the enemy army must have retreated to Songshan Pavilion, so he simply stopped pursuing and ordered the army to set up a camp outside the city, preparing to wait for the main army to come up before attacking the city.

Sun Haocheng, Li Mu and other generals came to the big tent, and when they saw Cao Jun leaning on the couch and being treated by the medical officer, his face was pale, and they couldn't help but worry in their hearts. Cao Jun saw everyone's worries and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, this arrow won't kill me." "Where can the generals put their minds at ease, but they don't know what to say.

Cao Jun said: "Sun Haocheng." ”

Sun Haocheng immediately stepped forward and bowed down to stand by.

Liu Qi gave a careful order, and Sun Haocheng promised and retreated. Liu Qi glanced at the generals and said, "Xiao Gan will not leave me to set up camp, and he must have expected that I will wait for the main army to come up before attacking the city." Hmph, I'm going to take him by surprise. Prepare now, and the army will raid the city tonight! The generals glanced at each other and excitedly agreed.

Xiao Gan stood in front of the yamen hall and looked up at the dim night sky, not knowing what he was thinking. Xian Ye and Mo Gan ran over, and Xian Ye bowed down and said, "Dashuai, the last general has been prepared according to your instructions." Gan Buli retracted his gaze and said to the two: "The army retreats immediately, and then ignites a fire!" "The two will promise together.

Kill! Violent killing suddenly came from the west, and then there was an astonishing shouting of killing from the south. Xiao Gan Bu Li, the expressions of the three of them moved, Xiao Gan Bu Li, and said urgently: "What's the matter?" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
