In fact, Yang Zhi is still not as familiar with the style of the Jin soldiers as the civet and Li Wanhua, and the invincible opponents in Liaodong have made the Jin soldiers develop the feeling of being alone, just like the arrogant Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War, thirty or fifty cavalry dared to chase and fight hundreds of Liao troops, and the bonfires on the Great Wall just called the nearby cavalry to turn back, and even if the Jin troops in other areas saw such bonfires, they could not come immediately, only the scouts scattered in the mountains and fields would come in a hurry.

Not long after Yang Zhi and the others left, a five-person Jin army scout arrived at the scene, but when he saw that more than 60 people had died, and there were more than 30 horses printed on the hooves of the horses leaving, the scouts estimated that there were at least a dozen enemies, and they did not dare to pursue at all, but just released the wolf smoke of the war and beckoned the nearby Jin army. When the fastest army of 100 cavalry arrived, it was already dawn, and although it was more than 100 miles deep in Liao, it still did not catch up with Yang Zhi and his party, so he could only retreat stupidly.

Yang Zhi met the patrolling Liao army at about the same time, and as soon as he heard Yang Zhi's name on the report, the chief immediately said happily: "You are General Yang, great, the Privy Council and Yanyun Hall have issued orders for us to answer along the way, and I will escort you to Hanerzhuang." ”

The patrol of the Liao army was elated, and it was a effortless credit to meet Yang Zhi in a place of almost two hundred miles in the territory of the Liao State, and when they heard Yang Zhi say that they arrived at Han'erzhuang, they gave them ten Jin people's war horses, and they were more and more satisfied; the war horses of the Jin army were different from the brand of the Liao army, even if they were not captured by their own hands, they could be brought back to the barracks to show off. Except for two cavalrymen leading the way, the captain led the way with the rest of the men to guard behind the horses.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, the four of them had an indescribable ease, and the civet said softly to Yang Zhi: "When you arrive in Liao, don't reveal my identity." ”

The civet remembers that he is a Goryeo, even if he may be abandoned by Goryeo now, but with his youth and long-term faith, the civet still has a part of Goryeo. Yang Zhi also fled from the Song Dynasty to Liao, and understood the mind of the civet, and Yang Zhi did not want the civet to help the Liao State, one is that the civet cat's martial arts are strong, and it is likely to become a killing machine;

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "I'll just say that you are a warrior in Bohai, if you don't want to be an official, stay in my house first, I have a house and a restaurant in Youzhou." Miss Li, what about you, that is, you are a chivalrous girl I met on the road?"

Li Wanhua was going to the Great Song Dynasty and had no intention of staying in Liao, Yang Zhi's suggestion was exactly what Li Wanhua thought; Li Wanhua smiled and said: "Let's just say so, it can be said that I am Li Zhengxuan's daughter, by the way, Yang Zhi, except for the horses sent out, the rest of the horses are all mine." ”

Yang Zhi and the three laughed, all the way to Hanerzhuang, Sha Jing heard the news and ran out to greet him, seeing Yang Zhi, Sha Jing happily punched Yang Zhi and said: "How did you escape, I heard that you were very jubilant in Liaoyang, and you also burned the granary of Bolu fire, making that guy jump up and down." ”

The patrol team saw Sha Jing confirm that it was Yang Zhi, and happily led the horse away; Yang Zhi grinned and said, "Light, light, I have been fighting for two days in a row, and I am still injured?"

Liaoguo is well-informed, Yang Zhi followed the caravan out after finishing his errands, and rode a horse all the way, even if the repeated battles did not delay much of the trip, but Sha Jing still knew the news of Liaoyang in advance. It shows that there are still lurking people in the Liao State on the Liaoyang line, and they may be in the army; after all, the place in the Bohai Sea was originally the Tokyo of the Liao State, and countless soldiers and civilians may still maintain contact with the Liao State, and it is difficult for the Jin people to pick it clean.

Yang Zhi introduced Master Huihong to Sha Jing, and according to the routine discussed on the road, he concealed the identities of the civet cat and Li Wanhua, and only said that he was a righteous man who saved himself in Bohai; Sha Jing was a Buddhist man, so he naturally knew the reputation of Master Huihong, and even admired him for a long time. The group entered Hanerzhuang and found that Hanerzhuang was not a market town, but a market for the people to trade nearby, outside the market was a patch of fertile land, planted with wheat, flax and other crops, and there was a meadow near the hill, grazing cattle and sheep.

The two systems of the Liao State are actually half farming and half pasture, and the earthen houses in the ruins are more like earthen tents, scattered and widely distributed in the camp tents, but fortunately, there are still plans, at least two intersecting cross-shaped streets have been formed. In addition to livestock, cattle and sheepskins, local wine, utensils, etc., there are also silk, ceramics, etc., and the people who traded were Khitan, Jurchen, Han, Uighur, and Goryeo.

Everyone came to the residence of Sha Jing and others, and as soon as they sat down, they heard a commotion outside, and it turned out that Yelu Dahal, the commander of the Bohai Navy stationed here, had come. Yelu Dahal was the uncle of Ao Luwei, the king of Jin, who was tall and tall with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and at first glance he was a fierce general in the army; Yelu Dahal came in and laughed and said: "Yang Zhi, you have caused me trouble, I just received a report from the scouts, a team of 100 Jurchen horsemen rode deep into the Liao realm for more than 100 miles, and now they have retreated. The Great Wall beacon fire last night should have been caused by you, I guess the Jin people will definitely retaliate, and Hanerzhuang can't stay. ”

Ying Yunfei, who came in behind Yelu Dahal, checked Yang Zhi's injuries and said: "You are still a little lucky, when the Liaojin agreed that the army retreated, no one dared to mess around easily, otherwise the fire of the Great Wall last night would attract the cavalry from both sides to swarm in." Fortunately, the deal in Hanerzhuang was over in a few days, and we just took the opportunity to leave. “

The big battle is imminent, and the armies of the two sides have agreed to retreat, and there must be something greasy in them, but Ying Yunfei obviously deliberately did not say the reason, Yelu Dahal and Sha Jing's faces were a little embarrassed, Yang Zhi didn't ask more, thanked Yelu Dahal and asked, "Is there anything that can serve the general?"

At first, Yelu Dahal felt a little incredible, what could a Han man who had escaped from the Song Dynasty do? Yelu Dahal smiled and said, "I'm just here to see you, and when you are rested, write me a document on the situation in Liaoyang." ”

Ying Yunfei let all the irrelevant people go out, but asked a little anxiously: "Have you checked the situation of Liaoyang's undercover agents?"
