The moon geese flew high, and Shan Yu Ye fled.
To chase away the light cavalry, the snow is full of bows and knives.
——Lu Lun, "The Next Song"
It is said that the Jin army reorganized the three armies in Qizhou.
King Yan ordered Mingwei general Guo Quanchun to stay in Qizhou.
Xuanwu general Gu Youde led the navy to pass.
He personally led the army in the middle, and went overland with the champion Hou Yu Xingzhi, leading the troops to the north.
Approaching Tongzhou, the capital of Liaoning Province.
On the march.
Yu Xingzhi and Zhou Xiaoxiao were eating two bowls of fragrant fried noodles in the tent.
Cheng Shizhao lifted the curtain and entered.
Zhou Xiaoxiao protected her rice bowl and said, "No, it's all over."
Cheng Shizhao had black lines all over his face.
Yu Xing knew: "Xiao Xiaomo is joking, my cousin must have an important military situation to negotiate with us."
Cheng Shizhao threw a military newspaper to Yu Xingzhi. Sitting down with a flip up.
"Qizhou has been captured, and it is the back of our army. Our army is now heading north, but Taiyuan General Yelu Xiu is on the lookout, and will raid Qizhou at any time. With the plan of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, the danger of Tongzhou will be solved."
Yu Xingzhi read the military newspaper: "I have heard that this person uses his troops like a god, and the Taiyuan Army under his command is the strongest fighting force in Daliao. He must not be underestimated by the enemy."
"At this moment, our army is still far from Tongzhou. If we continue to move forward, I am afraid that Guo Quanchun is not his opponent and will not be able to defend Qizhou. At that time, our army's back road will be cut off, and the enemy will be attacked. If our army returns at this moment, we will wait for the integration of the Liao army. Soldiers and horses from all walks of life, calmly set up the defense line. For the first time in a hundred years, our Han army's expectation of regaining Tongzhou has become a piece of empty talk." Cheng Shizhao slammed a fist on the table.
Yu Xingzhi pondered: "I have a plan."
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Cheng Shizhao said, "It's not feasible."
"I haven't said it yet."
"You seem to be stable, but in fact, you love the most dangerous tactics. I don't know you yet. You must have some other tricks to put yourself in that dangerous place. This time, the opponent is Yelu Xiu, a famous Khitan general. I won't let you mess around."
"Tongzhou was occupied by the Liao army for hundreds of years. The Khitan people were brutal and tyrannical, and the Han people were deeply affected. All of them looked forward to our army. Just thinking about personal safety."
Cheng Shizhao couldn't say anything to him, so he turned to Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "Aren't you going to persuade him together?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao gently held Yu Xingzhi's hand: "He is going, I will follow."
The two clasped their hands, looked at each other and smiled, both of them understood the meaning of life and death in each other's eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Shizhao stood on a high place, watching Yu Xingzhi ride his black-hoofed steed, leading three thousand light cavalry, and went away.
Beside him, a young general in white robes, chasing horses across the silver moon, followed closely.
Cheng Shizhao suddenly sighed in his heart: If my wife can share weal and woe like this, never leave or abandon, life and death go hand in hand, what a blessing in life.
He thought of the gentle and virtuous princess in his capital.
If it is not prepared an hour in advance, and twenty servants are waiting on it, I am afraid that even the gate of the palace will not be able to get out.
He shook his head, putting these distractions behind him.
Shi An can have a second woman like her. A princess like that is the role model of a woman.
…
Brother Xiu wanted to take Qizhou, and Xingzhi led three thousand light cavalry to intercept it.
The two armies will meet at Handian and face off against each other.
The generals asked Xingzhi, why not fight.
Xingzhi said: Although I have reached the front, the rear has not yet arrived, and I have not fully grasped the sudden battle.
The espionage was leaked to Brother Hugh.
It was night, Yu Xingzhi led his troops to attack the Liao army camp at night,
When he rushed into the camp, he saw that there was no one in the camp.
Yu Xingzhi shouted: "The plan! Quickly withdraw!"
I saw torches burning on all sides, and was surrounded by the Liao regiment.
Brother Yelu Xiu stood at a high place: "What kind of brave general I am, it turns out that he is just a foolish child. Champion, this place is where your bones are buried!"
Yu Xingzhi and Zhou Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, and the two of them worked hard to break a bloody path and flee to the southwest.
How could Brother Yeluxiu let him escape and lead the crowd to pursue him.
At this moment, Cheng Shizhao led the army horse and ambushed on the side peak of a canyon.
The name of this place is Luoyuepo, the valley road is long and narrow, and the mountains on both sides are steep. It is a natural ambush and raid place.
Cheng Shizhao looked nervously at the entrance to the canyon.
After a long time, two figures finally appeared there, one riding a white horse and the other riding a black horse.
It was Yu Xingzhi and Zhou Xiaoxiao.
The two were covered in blood, and only a few hundred light cavalry remained behind them.
The Liao army followed closely behind, covering the sky and the sun, rolling in.
Cheng Shizhao clenched his fists tightly, and he really wanted to rush down the mountain to meet him at this moment.
However, his reason as the commander of an army told him that this was not the right time.
He could only watch helplessly as his closest brother, stained with blood, galloped past him.
It was not until most of the Liao army entered the valley that he waved the flag in his hand fiercely.
For a while, there was a sound of killing in the canyon, and rolling stone rockets rained down, and several teams of men and horses rushed out on both sides, cutting the Liao army into several sections, and then strangled them.
The Liao army was in chaos, and the Khitan soldiers were killed and wounded innumerable, and they were defeated and fled.
Brother Yeluxiu saw that he was powerless to return to the sky, and raised his head and cried out in grief: "Heaven has killed me, Da Liao!"
Leaving the crowd behind, fleeing for hundreds of miles, and counting his followers, only 18 horses remained.
But he said that Cheng Shizhao rushed down from the mountain and did not care about chasing Yelu Xiu himself, so he first searched around for Yu Xingzhi and his troops.
Shura fire, piles of corpses.
He finally saw the two figures, black and white, standing in the smoke-damaged flag.
Cheng Shizhao rushed forward, hugged Yu Xingzhi, looked up and down, and saw that although he was covered in blood, he was only slightly injured.
Cheng Shizhao laughed: "Okay! Good brother! Good job!"
He even patted Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Brother and sister, thanks for bringing you here, otherwise I might not have such a neat cousin, haha!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't have the strength to pay attention to him.
Yu Xingzhi took her hand, and the two slowly walked out of the battlefield in the bloody setting sun.
"Eh."
Cheng Shizhao called Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao turned around.
Cheng Shizhao touched his nose: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you."
"What is Your Highness talking about?" Zhou Xiaoxiao expressed confusion.
"What happened before, you said, you want me to apologize to you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and turned around.
Her profile face shone brightly in the evening sun.
Cheng Shizhao dug a deep hole in his heart, and threw those inexplicable emotions into it. Buried thickly.
…
Upon hearing the news, the morale of the army was greatly lifted, and the hearts of the people were encouraged. Many people along the way spontaneously rewarded the army with beef and mutton.
The army then entered Ketongzhou.
When the Liao Emperor heard this, he was frightened, so he led a hundred officials and concubines to the north and moved to Shangdu.
The emperor ordered the king of Yan and the champion Hou Banshi to return to the dynasty, and they were conferred upon them for their merits, and they were given a lot of platinum and Wenqi.
At this point, the Han people of Tongzhou, who had been enslaved by the Khitan iron cavalry for hundreds of years, finally regained their freedom.
In front of the Liao cavalry, the Han army, which had never been able to fight back, regained lost ground for the first time, and raised its eyebrows.
When the army was victorious, the emperor personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to welcome him.
The people of Kyoto, rejoicing, set up their own flowers and incense cases along the way, and greeted them with delicious food and wine.
Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to the Hou Mansion, bathed in fragrant soup, lay on the big carved bed, and enjoyed the extravagant life served by a group of maids.
While massaging her shoulders, Juanzi whimpered and complained: "Madam has tanned so much this time, and lost weight, and there is still a wound here. Next time, you will have to bring Juanzi with you. Otherwise, I won't rely on it."
"Take you, take you, we Juanzi are so good, I regret not taking you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao perfunctory Juanzi. But in my heart, I was so happy to think about what Yu Xingzhi said in her ear before she entered the palace.
"Madam, let's go back to the manor first and wait for the husband. Now that I have returned to the capital, I will naturally have to do three chapters. Tonight... I will accompany Madam to have a good time."
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help rolling over on the bed.
"Learning is bad, it's getting worse and worse."
Are arguing.
Suddenly someone came to report, and Guo Jingyan came to visit.
How can my sister-in-law come so late
Zhou Xiaoxiao wondered in her heart, got up and dressed to greet.
Guo Jingyan was spinning around in the side hall, her expression was frightened and her face was pale.
As soon as she saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, she stepped forward with trembling hands and held hers.
Guo Jingyan has always been a bold and pungent woman in Zhou Xiaoxiao's impression.
What could make her frightened like this, Zhou Xiaoxiao was puzzled and asked quickly.
"Don't panic, sister-in-law. What happened?"
"What should I do? Brother and sister, what should I do?" Guo Jingyan's hands were cold and she grabbed her hand tightly, "Uncle Biao knew about Yu'er. Uncle Biao said that he would sink the two of her into the river. At this moment, they have been locked in In the pig cage, we went to the Bian River."
"It's been a long time since this happened, how did my uncle know about it again?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao put on casual clothes, and walked out the door with her legs while asking.
"Yu'er has matured a lot with that incident. According to her aunt's wishes, she will stay at home and get married. Last month, her family exchanged Geng Tie with the son of Wang Taiwei's family. I didn't know that the beast who was inferior to pigs and dogs had a lot of heart. Unwilling, after getting drunk, he shouted everywhere, saying that he had an affair with the young lady of Gongsun Mansion, and even took Yu'er's portrait - the Luoshen picture you painted last time, and gave it to those who are indignant to watch and comment. After learning about it, he came to the house to withdraw from his relatives. My uncle found out now and was furious."
"That scum, aunt didn't send him away? Shang let him stay in Kyoto?"
"Oh, I just found out. Aunt Cousin is kind and soft-hearted. She only beat the beast and drove him out of the house, but it made him resentful and had the opportunity to do such a thing that got his cousin into the quagmire. Aunt Cousin she He comes from a scholarly family, and is so ignorant of the world."
Zhou Xiaoxiao got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and said to Guo Jingyan, "I'll take a step ahead and rush to Bianhe. I'm afraid things will change. My sister-in-law is here, wait for Xingzhi to come back and ask him to come and respond."
At the moment of the Bianhe River, a small boat was parked on the dark water.
There are two bamboo cages on the boat, and a man and a woman are locked in the cages.
The man burst into tears and cried bitterly.
And the woman, dressed in white, with straight satin-like hair, held the bamboo cage with her white fingers and sat quietly in the dirty cage.
