When the news of Yangwu Valley's victory over the Khitan reached Kaifeng, the streets and alleys immediately resounded with the sound of "crackling" firecrackers. In the restaurant and teahouse, the rumor that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites immediately went crazy became a hot topic of discussion.

"Ye has long said that Fengyunwei is out of the horse, and there is nothing that cannot be done. A rich boy carrying a birdcage said proudly that although Fengyunwei no longer exists, the people of Kaifeng Mansion still insist on calling the guerrilla camp Fengyunwei.

"That's not right! I heard Chen Jia's three say that Fengyunwei didn't catch up with this battle. An uninteresting middle-aged man interjected, "Fengyunwei only set off from the capital on August 29, but I heard that the victory in Yangwu Valley was fought on the fifth day of the first month of September, and Kaifeng is thousands of miles away from Yangwu Valley, and Fengyunwei can't fly there?"

"Nonsense, can you believe the words of the two fools of the Chen family?" Before the rich man refuted the middle-aged man, the guests on the side were not happy. Fengyunwei is the pride of Kaifeng, the strongest soldiers and horses in the Great Jin, naturally all the credit is made by Fengyunwei, who dares to say that Fengyunwei is not half of it, and the people of Kaifeng will spray him with a mouthful of spit. As for the other soldiers and horses, at most, they are just waving their flags behind their backs and taking advantage of Fengyunwei to take some credit.

"Yes, Fengyunwei can fly, you haven't seen it, I've seen it. Do you think that when the emperor was attacked in the hunting ground, do you know who rushed over to save the driver first? That is Fengyunwei. If it is an ordinary forbidden army, from the garrison to the hunting ground, even if it is not counted as the time to gather, it will take another two or three hours to catch up, and even if you arrive at it, the daylily will be cold.

But Fengyunwei is different, from getting the warning, gathering troops and horses to killing the hunting ground, it only took less than a stick of incense, which is not counting breaking through the five lines of defense specially arranged by the assassins for Fengyunwei.

Tsk, that's amazing!" someone shouted.

is even more humane: "I've heard that Fengyunwei is not something that ordinary people can enter, they are all stars in the sky." If you want to enter Fengyunwei, the 800-pound stone lock must be thrown into the air to spin, and then catch it to be considered exempt from strong qualifications. As for a thousand in a day and eight hundred in a night, that is the most basic.

It is only a few thousand miles from our capital to Yangwu Valley, what is it? Fengyunwei can travel 1,800 miles in one day and one night. It's enough to walk back and forth!"

"Not bad, I heard that Yangwu Valley was victorious, Fengyunwei fought the first battle, Li Fengyun and General Li two ghost-headed swords, killed into the enemy formation, seven in and seven out, killing the Tartar crying father and calling mother, so not majestic. ”

......

The news also spread to the palace, and Shi Chonggui Long Yan Dayue summoned several confidant ministers and said loudly: "In the battle of Yangwu Valley, General Liu Zhiyuan only used 50,000 troops to kill the same number of Khitan troops who lost their armor and left corpses all over the field, beheading more than 7,000 ranks, which is really a big victory.

This shows that since the victory in Yangcheng, the morale of the Khitan people has fallen, and their combat strength has also been greatly reduced, and they no longer have the courage to fight with our army. It seems that the time has come to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and raise troops for the Northern Expedition.

A few days ago, news came from Wang Luan, the commander of Leshou, that Liu Yanzuo, the assassin of Yingzhou, had written to him, preparing to lead the whole city to surrender, and said: "There are less than 1,000 Khitan soldiers in the city, please send light troops to attack, and you will be the internal response." Also, there is a lot of rain this autumn, from the north of Waqiao, the water is boundless, and the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang has returned to the tooth tent, even if he hears that there is a mutation in Guannan, and the road is far away from the water, he can't come to the rescue. ’

It's really that after the tree fell and scattered, not only Zhao Yanshou wanted to oppose the Khitan, but the soldiers below the sixteen states of Yanyun looked at my Wang Shi, like a long drought and waiting for rain.

Wang Luan and Tianxiong made Dewey play again, believing that Ying and Mo could take advantage of this opportunity to seize the two states, and Murong Qian, the assassin of Shenzhou, presented "Ying Motu". ”

All the ministers knelt on the ground one after another and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for making this immortal deed! ”

Shi Chonggui listened, laughed, looked at the world, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked like a hero.

In October of the third year of Kaiyun, Shi Chonggui fasted for three days, sacrificed to heaven and earth, and ordered the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition army will accumulate 300,000 troops, with Wei as the commander of the northern camp, Shouzhen as the commander of the soldiers and horses, Taining Jiedu makes An Xianqi as the commander of the left and right carriages, Wuning Jiedu makes Fu Yanqing the commander of the left wing of the horse army, Yicheng Jiedu makes Huangfu Yu the commander of the right wing of the horse army, Yongqing Jiedu makes Liang Hanzhang the commander of the horse army, Song Yanyun is the commander of the left wing of the infantry army, Wang Rao is the commander of the left wing of the infantry army, and Xue Huairang is the commander of the vanguard of the state siege training.

The next edict said: "Specially send the army and go to the Pinghu captive." First take Ying, Mo, stabilize the south of the Guan, the second time to return to Youyan, and the north of the Pingping. ”

He also decreed: "Those who capture the captive master, in addition to the envoys of the Shangzhen Festival, will be rewarded with 10,000 pieces of money, 10,000 horses of silk, and 10,000 taels of silver." ”

After resting for a day in Yangwu Valley, Li Fengyun took his leave and returned to the camp outside Taiyuan City.

Now that the war between Hedong and the Khitan has ended, it is of little significance for the guerrilla battalion to stay in Hedong. After discussing with Dian Kui and others, Li Fengyun decided to move his troops to Dingzhou.

Dingzhou is located in the northeast of Zhenzhou, adjacent to the border between the Central Plains and the Khitan, and the north of Dingzhou is the sixteen states of Yanyun, which has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

The guerrilla battalion came to Dingzhou and informed the surrounding friendly forces. Suddenly, Dian Kui broke in and said the news, a sentinel of the forward Yuan Kui to probe the Khitan movement, was attacked at the border, and only five of the twenty people returned, and everyone was wounded, and two were seriously injured and died.

Li Fengyun asked: "The Khitan is moving so quickly, which Khitan people are doing it?"

Dian Kui shook his head and said: "It's not the Khitan people, according to the report of the spies, looking at their clothes, it should be Sun Fangjian's subordinates." ”

When Li Fengyun heard the anger, he slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily: "What a Sun Fangjian, originally I saw that you were also in the same vein as the rivers and lakes, and I thought that you had contributed to killing the Tartars, and you also had to surrender to the Khitan, and I didn't want to embarrass you." Unexpectedly, people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, and the guerrilla battalion will first use you to open a knife and sacrifice the flag!"

Dian Kui walked to the map, looked at the map carefully for a long time, shook his head and said: "The terrain of Wolf Mountain is dangerous, but it is not easy to fight, I am afraid that our guerrilla battalion will not be able to take it, and we still need the cooperation of friendly troops." ”

Li Fengyun said with a smile: "There is only one wolf mountain fort, why do you need to make a big move? There is no need for labor friendly troops, and there is no need for the guerrilla battalion to be dispatched by the whole army, and it is enough for me to take only 200 people from the personal guard regiment with me. ”

Dian Kui hurriedly said: "Fengyun, don't be careless, the terrain of Wolf Mountain Fort is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Khitan concentrated 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the siege has not been taken for seven days." How can you take the Wolf Mountain Fort with only two hundred people?

Moreover, in the Wolf Mountain Fort, Sun Fangjian's combatable soldiers were no less than 3,000, and there were many masters, so they could not be underestimated. ”

Li Fengyun patted Dian Kui's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't underestimate the enemy, two hundred people are enough, and it's not good if there are too many people." The mountain people have their own tricks!"
