Chapter 356 Invincible
Han Kuangsi and Yelu Sha were defeated, and Yelu Shan was also defeated. However, that battle had nothing to do with Yang Ye for the time being. Yang Ye had just been appointed by Zhao Kuangyi for Yang Ye's affairs and was aware of the enemy's situation. He was appointed as the commander of Daizhou and Sanjiao's troops to deploy. The Zhengzhou Observer was also in charge, and it can be said that he was very generous. However, he had not set off yet.
Yelu Shan came to Hedong and set up Yanmen in front of Daizhou, Xijing, Huguo, and Nanchuan Four Villages.
When he heard that the Eastern Army was defeated, Yelu Shan wanted to withdraw his troops. Song generals Zhe Yanyun, Liu Xu and Hou Mei pursued him and defeated more than a thousand Khitans.
Compared with the great victory in the city, the contribution was not great, but it was also a victory. At least when he was depressed, he was happy. It was not until this time that Zhao Kuangyi distributed the rewards and pensions.
Really he doesn't know the soldiers' resentment?
But the reason why the generals in Zhuozhou were not distributed at the beginning was that they were angry that they were preparing to enthrone Zhao Dezhao. After arriving in the capital, they still didn't distribute it, which would be scent. After Zhao Dezhao committed suicide, he could distribute it, but the distribution was too obvious at that time.
Therefore, it was delayed until now.
At the same time, I would like to give you a warning, don’t talk about the system, I will give it to you only if I allow it. If I am unhappy, I can’t have a system.
Spring returns to the earth, and another great victory begins.
Before this, Liu Qing died. It is said that Zhao Kuangyi did not need to kill him, but considering his glorious history of killing the emperor, God knows whether Liu Qing was killed.
However, this doesn't matter.
The battle of Yanmen Pass began.
Why did Song Jiu express his kindness to Yang Ye enough and bring Yang Ye’s two sons to the Northeast, fearing that the Romance of the Romance would become vilified in the future? Many people even say that Pan Mei was greedy for Yang Ye’s contributions in the Great Battle of Yanmen Pass?
Some people will be jealous of Yang Ye's achievements, and even Pan Mei is not convinced by Zhao Kuangyi's additional preferential treatment to Yang Ye, but Pan Mei will be jealous of Yang Ye's achievements? With the little achievements of Yanmen Pass, wouldn't it be so funny that people would be laughed to death?
Or if you fake Feihu Pass, Tian Chongjin will be wronged when he is underground!
But now it is different, because Song Jiu put aside the truth. It was Yang Ye who saved Zhao Kuangyi, not like his previous life. Zhao Kuangyi did not want to make it public, and Yang Ye did not dare to make it public, so many people jealous. Now the truth is abandoned. Although some people are jealous, let’s see what position they are now, the second-in-commander of Hedong and the position of Zhengzhou Observer. It is even higher than Meng Yuanzhe’s previous life. However, at least Pan Mei would not have other ideas. She would not look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face.
It’s a pity that Song Jiu is still in the Northeast at this time, otherwise he would feel extremely relieved.
For Song Jiu's sake, Yang Ye's arrival, Pan Mei is very polite.
Yang Ye was a little stubborn, and the tragedy in history was also related to his personality. The Eastern Army was defeated and the Khitan rushed to the West Road. At this time, Zhao Kuangyi gave another wrong order, asking Pan Mei to bring the people of Yunshuo to the Central Plains. But at that time, the Khitan concentrated the main force to turn around and prepare to deal with the Western Army. According to Pan Mei's intention, they directly gave up these people. However, Yang Ye must implement Zhao Kuangyi's plan. Yang Ye's death cannot be said to have nothing to do with Pan Mei. If Wang Yi was alone, he had the ability to restrain Pan Mei, and he was still a little tender. But this dispute almost caused Pan Mei's army to fall into danger, and even his butt was burned by Yelu Xizhen, so Pan Mei gave up Yang Ye hated. Pan Mei had a big mistake behind, and Yang Ye had a small mistake ahead. Of course, Song Jiu must not know. This is the truth of history.
If it continues to develop, Song Jiu may be repeated. In the future, someone will say that Pan Mei is greedy for the achievements of Yanmen.
The two have a very pleasant collaboration for the time being.
Although Yang Ye is straightforward, he is not ignorant. Pan Mei is polite to him and he respects Pan Mei.
The victory in the whole city was because of Zhao Yanjin's courage. Li Jilong's combination and the miraculously perfect cooperation of the three main generals, achieving a great victory.
But in Yanmen, Pan Yang and the other two cooperated more perfectly.
The Khitan sent his son-in-law Xiao Duli as the commander and Li Chonghui as the deputy commander. Liu Jiwen followed the army and dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers from the Khitan, but not more than 10,000 troops. In the Khitan military system, one soldier needed one to fight Caogu and one to guard the camp, and the total number was nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, the Han soldiers in Yunzhong, as well as some old and young, and the servants, about 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses, under the banner of 100,000 soldiers and horses, rushed towards Yanmen Pass.
There are several ideas about the reason why the Khitan chose to be in Hedong.
The Song Dynasty had just recovered Hedong, but the people of Hedong were dissatisfied.
Liu Chong's grandson Liu Jiwen fled to the Khitan, and Liu Jiwen followed the army, and under the banner of recapturing the Northern Han Dynasty, he could obtain justice.
The population of Hedong is sparse, which makes it impossible to raise more border guards. The Song army has fewer troops than Hebei and can gain more military strength advantages.
Yang Ye performed poorly before, while Pan Mei performed worse in Youzhou.
In fact, this idea is extremely wrong. The people of Hedong may not be convinced by the Song Dynasty, but they hate the Khitan more than the Song Dynasty, among which Yang Ye is the representative. Unless the military strength advantage is obvious and not much difference, it may not play much role, such as the Battle of the City and the Battle of the Gaoliang River. As for how much Liu Jiwen's appeal is, it is even more suspicious. Yang Ye was not good at fighting the Song Dynasty, but fighting the Khitan was two different things. As for Pan Mei's inaction in the Battle of the Gaoliang River, she could not do anything. If Pan Mei was considered a mediocre general, then even Yelu Xiuge, the Khitan was considered mediocre general except Yelu Xiuge.
Before the battle, it was not the time when scholars, eunuchs, such as Fan Yong, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Gao Zunyu, Li Xian, etc., were in charge of soldiers. At least during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song, they fought with conciseness and attached great importance to intelligence work. Just like Tian Qinzuo fought with 3,000 and 60,000 yuan in the time when the Khitans sent troops, Zhao Kuangyin received news.
Although the Khitan was blitzkrieg, Pan Mei also learned about the information.
Because time was urgent, Pan Mei just summoned Yang Ye and negotiated with Yang Ye's subordinates Dong Siyuan, Hou Mei and Deng Zhaoda and other generals.
Then Pan Mei faced the battle head-on in front of Yanmen Pass, but Yang Ye took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain and led his light troops west to Jingxing and penetrated from an unnoticed path to the enemy's back.
Xiao and Li led a large army to charge towards Pan Mei's infantry formation.
Without Zhao Kuangyi's constraints, Pan Mei became Pan Mei again. Under his command, tens of thousands of Song troops advanced and retreated freely. The Liao army could not tear the Song army's phalanx, but instead threw its own army into a quagmire and lost the mobile space for cavalry conflict.
At this time, Yang Ye's light cavalry suddenly attacked from the side and behind.
Originally, under the command of Pan Mei, the Liao army was trapped, and Yang Ye's attack caused the Khitan army to be disorganized.
At this time, Yang Ye did something shocking. He saw the Liao army's flag from afar and concluded that it was the commander's place and led his army to break in. At this moment, Yang Ye turned into an enlarged version of Yelu Xiu Ge, and turned into a super master Xiao Feng, who only existed in martial arts novels.
Under his impact, the 100,000 Khitan army was unstoppable. All of them became wheat straw that allowed Yang Ye to harvest at will. Yang Ye came straight to the banner of the Central Army, took a knife and beheaded the Khitan commander Xiao Duli under the banner. He then turned around and captured Deputy Commander Li Chonghui alive.
These two people were not fools. Later, Li Chonghui surrendered to the Song Dynasty and became a famous general in the Song Dynasty. He also made many achievements in fighting against the Khitans, which shows that he is not ordinary people.
But after the hero's lone masterpiece, Pan Mei's contribution cannot be ignored. Without Pan Mei, it would be difficult to do this with only Yang Ye's thousands of light cavalry. Just like Xue Rengui broke into and out of the 200,000 troops in Goryeo, like entering an uninhabited enemy. There was a powerful Tang army behind him, and Li Shimin stood at the top of the city to watch the battle. However, when he arrived in Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui, who was rare in the history of martial arts, was also timid and asked for peace from Lunqinling, and was spared by Lunqinling. Or, if Yang Ye himself was placed in Chenjia Valley, he would not be able to kill the central army. He captured Yelu Xizhen alive.
The 100,000 Khitan army collapsed in an instant.
After this battle, Yang Ye finally reached the peak. The Khitans feared his fierceness and called him Yang Wudi. They were frightened and even fled as soon as they saw his banner.
When the news reached the capital, Zhao Kuangyi was overjoyed, and Pan Mei had no choice but to reward Yang Ye and was promoted to the Duke of Dai, Yunzhou Observation Envoy.
In fact, if Yongxi had not been in the Northern Expedition, and if he continued to waste like this, even if the Khitan had Yelu Xiu Ge, his family background would have been exhausted sooner or later.
Under this great victory, the Song Dynasty ushered in another imperial examination.
This is the third exam in Zhao Kuangyi's hands, which is brighter than the first exam. The second Hu Dan list is much dimmer, but this exam is even more brilliant.
There were Wang Dan, Xiang Minzhong, Zhang Yong, a famous charity official of the Song Dynasty, and Su Yijian.
Also, Kou Zhun, who was successful in his youth.
Continuing to run, the top scholar Su Yijian was the general supervisor and promoted to the prefecture, directly managing Jinling, Xiang Minzhong was the important Tanzhou in Jinghu, Wang Dan was the governor of Pingjiang County, the three Huaiwang finally began to rise, and Zhang Yong was the governor of Eyang County.
Kou Zhun, who was only nineteen years old, knew Badong County. Fortunately, Song Jiu was not here, otherwise he would have choked to death.
But Kou Zhun would not say that I was young. In Xiao Kou's eyes, he would not be able to do without him. This personality has been old since childhood.
Kou Zhun came to Badong excitedly, but he was stunned. This is the Badong County Government, where the trees invade the mountain path, and the Han River is forcing the county gate?
Every night, listening to the boundless sound of waves and looking at the shabby county government office, he couldn't pass this day. He began to miss home. The moon was white and the cicadas sounded at night, the pond was dark and the wind was fading. The stream clouds entered the broken walls, and the chrysanthemums bloomed in the mountains. They couldn't get drunk when they were drinking, and the village garden was filled with sadness. They wandered alone and stared at the end of the world.
At this time, the magistrate's main responsibilities were two, one was to settle the case and the other was to collect taxes. However, there were only one thousand households and a few small villages in Badong County. The salt well was broken, and the taxes collected were not enough to pay the official salary. Or solve the case, Badong was side and small, with pure folk customs, and there was no case to solve both cases. In such a quiet time, even the piano was not wanted to play, "The county was quiet and there was no mundane thing, and the public retreated and only chanted"; "The court of lawsuits was quiet all day long, and the piano was also idle."
Becoming a parent official, Xiao Kou escaped and turned into a literary and artistic young man.
What is the use of the ink ribbon bronze seal? Bayun Mitsuki is desolate and the official seal has no effect, so let's play. Xiao Kou began to travel around the mountains and rivers.
A few years later, he was transferred to Cheng'an County, Daming Prefecture as the magistrate, and his official position was also promoted to the Dali judge (from the eighth rank) to the work Zuolang (from the sixth rank). His monthly salary increased from 10 steadi to 17 steadi. With some subsidies, his actual income was about 40 steadily per month, equivalent to 20,000 yuan.
Xiao Kou was in a good mood, and implemented a sunny policy and disclosed his tax status, which was warmly welcomed by the people. But at this time, his relatives sent a letter, not to ask for help, but to Kou Zhun's father Kou Xiang died when he was a teenager and had not been buried properly. Therefore, his relatives hoped that Kou Zhun would complete this matter.
However, Xiao Kou's salary is not high. Although the Song Dynasty's salary is good, his official position has not yet risen and he can only support his family. Of course, most officials live a well-off life, but if they don't have gray income and are not greedy or obscene, they are the same as Kou Zhun. If you are holding a funeral now, you can only enjoy a very low standard based on your official position and salary. So you said to his relatives that my father was the top scorer at that time, but because his luck was not Liu, he could not be in the ranks of high-ranking officials. Now, Cang Zhong handles his funeral, which can neither comfort my father's spirit in heaven, nor express my filial piety.
But this made Xiao Kou confused.
Of course, all these famous officials were on the way.
In addition to these few people, there is one more person.
There were many famous ministers in the Northern Song Dynasty, but seriously, Zhao Pu, the first-class professional, and Lu Yi, were too despicable. Although Wang Dan was steady, he still had some stains because Emperor Zhenzong of Song worshipped gods. Wang Anshi was too frivolous. In addition to writing Zizhi Tongjian, Sima Guang carefully read his political calendar and could all be included in the biography of treacherous officials. Fan Zhongyan, De Cao, has been the first in three hundred years, but his political quality has been mixed, and he has done many wrong things. Kou Zhun was too arrogant and unreasonable and self-righteous. In addition to making achievements in military affairs, Zhang Qixian was not good at it. Lu Mengzheng was extravagant. Wang Zeng had both virtue and politics, but he had not yet reached the perfect level.
However, there is another person who has almost reached the point of perfection and is the only famous prime minister in the entire Song Dynasty who can compete with Fang Du Yao and Song. He must have political achievements, foresight, and be virtuous and moral. However, because of his low-keyness, almost everyone in later generations ignored him, that is the holy prime minister Li Yan.
Li Han was also on the way. Although he was on the same list as Kou Zhun, he made a fortune quickly. When Kou Zhun was appointed as the magistrate of Cheng'an, he had become the magistrate of imperial edicts.
