Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Liu Yanqing's [-]-strong army was repulsed by the Liao soldiers. Tong Guan criticized the battle, so he kept urging him to fight the Liao army decisively and move north quickly.Liu Yanqing, on the other hand, was discouraged by the battle and refused to leave the camp, turning a deaf ear to Tong Guan's urging.

For three days in a row, the Liao army yelled and cursed in the north of the bridge, begging for war, but Liu Yanqing was like a tortoise, just huddled in his shell, letting the other party abuse him and pretended not to hear.The Liao army attacked several times, but due to the narrow bridge deck, it was difficult for the army to pass, leaving only dozens of corpses and returning without success.

While Liu Yanqing was holding on, Guo Pharmacist patrolled along the river bank every day, and often climbed up to overlook the Liao army's camp, which he did for several days in a row.

On this day, Liu Yanqing was sitting idle in the tent. Suddenly, Pharmacist Guo came in and said that he had something important to discuss with him.Liu Yanqing asked someone to sit with him, and then asked: "General Guo, I don't know what he has to say?"

Guo Yaoshi said: "My subordinates have been walking along the river for several days and found that there is no Liao army stationed at Gu'an Crossing. It can cross the river and is far away from the Liao army camp. And I watched the fireworks at Xiaoqian camp opposite and estimated that there were about 2 Ten thousand men and horses. According to what I know, there are only more than [-] men and horses in Yanjing City, which shows that Xiao Qian has left all his troops this time, and Yanjing City must be empty at this time. Therefore, I have a plan to take advantage of Yanjing."

Liu Yanqing was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "General Guo, please make it clear!"

Pharmacist Guo paused and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead six thousand troops and light cavalry, cross the river from Gu'an, bypass Xiao Qian's camp, and go straight to Yanjing. At that time, a small team will sneak into Yanjing City and kill the guarding sergeant. Open the city gate wide and welcome the unexpected troops into the city. At that time, the general will send another army and horses, and then enter the city to support her. If we capture Concubine Xiao in one battle, then the battle can be decided!"

Liu Yanqing thought about it carefully and praised: "This is a great plan, but I don't know who should be used as a backup?"

Guo Yaoshi remembered that a few days ago when he was protecting Liu Yanqing's retreat, he passed by Liu Guangshi's Xiangzhou Army and saw a thousand-man team blocking the Liao soldiers from advancing. The whole army is like this.So he said, "I have seen that the Xiangzhou soldiers led by Second Young Master are quite brave. How about letting him serve as my backup?"

After hearing what he said, Liu Yanqing agreed without thinking, "Just follow what General Guo said. I wonder when the general plans to send troops?"

Pharmacist Guo said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, tonight is a good opportunity!"

Liu Yanqing nodded in agreement, and Pharmacist Guo added: "If my subordinates successfully capture Yanjing, Xiao Qian will definitely break out of camp and return for reinforcements after hearing the news. When the time comes, the general's army will follow and pursue him, and he will be able to defeat the Liao army. When the army reaches the city, the Han people in the city will be defeated." Knowing that Master Wang has arrived, he must respond internally, and if so, Yanjing will surely win."

Liu Yanqing was overjoyed after hearing this, and ordered his generals Yang Keshi and Gao Shixuan to call into the tent. He carefully arranged for them to select [-] elite soldiers, and followed Guo Yaoshi to steal the city tonight. The three of them took the order and left.

After Guo Pharmacist and his three men quietly led 2 elite soldiers to sneak to Gu'an Crossing, Liu Yanqing sat alone in the tent and calculated carefully: "Not long after Guo Pharmacist surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he first offered Zhuo and Yi Prefectures. With your majesty's generous gift, if this plan succeeds and we win Yanjing, wouldn't the reward for such a huge contribution mean that I will be superior to me? Then it will make me incompetent. I think I have an army of [-] here. If the Liao army is like this As Medicine Master Guo said, we only have [-] troops. Then if I march forward, I can defeat the Liao army. When the time comes, I will slowly advance to Yanjing and the left and right isolated cities will be difficult to defend. Wouldn’t the credit still belong to me?" Thinking of this, he ordered The confidants went to Liu Guangshi's camp to make arrangements carefully.

At nightfall, it was the end of the month, and everything was pitch dark. Guo Yaoshi led 6000 men and horses to quietly cross the Lugou River. The people were silent and the horses held their titles, slowly bypassed Xiao Qian's camp, and then rode straight to Yanjing.

Pharmacist Guo has been through the north for a long time and is very familiar with the routes. By the time it was light, 6000 troops had already arrived at a mountain col outside Yanjing to focus.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Pharmacist Guo selected fifty capable sergeants and said to Yang Keshi: "General Yang, to steal Yanjing this time, only a bold and careful person will do it. I know you are brave and I would like to ask the general to lead you." These fifty elite soldiers mingled with the people entering the city when the city opened at dawn. After entering the city, they immediately killed the gatekeepers and opened the city gate wide. General Gao and I immediately led the troops into the city. I wonder what the general wants?"

Yang Keshi said: "Just follow what General Guo said." After that, he took the fifty elite soldiers and left the team under the cover of night.

When Yang Keshi came to the road, he was worried that all his soldiers were wearing Song Dynasty uniforms, which might arouse the suspicion of the soldiers guarding the city, when he saw a group of carriages and horses coming on the road.It turned out that the wealthy households in the small town outside Yanjing heard that the Song army was attacking, so they gathered up their families and came to Yanjing, intending to enter the city to escape the war.

When Yang Keshi saw this group of people, he was very happy. He greeted his subordinates, and everyone swarmed up and chopped down all the people accompanying them.After a while, Yang Keshi looked at the corpses everywhere and ordered people to carry them and throw them into the grass beside the road.Then he hid the weapons in the plywood of the carriage, put on the clothes of the group of people, and headed for the east gate of Yanjing City.

At this time, the city gate has not yet been opened, and many people waiting to enter the city have gathered outside the city.Yang Keshi secretly ordered his men to spread out and blend in with the people.

Not long after, it was bright and the east gate opened wide, and the city guarding sergeant let the people into the city.After entering the city gate, Yang Keshi saw that there were not many soldiers guarding the gate, so with a whistle, the Song soldiers who were mixed in with the people suddenly rose up, drew their weapons from the carriage, and killed all the east gate guards.

But outside the city, Pharmacist Guo had already made preparations. He saw the chaos at the east gate from a distance, so he waved his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, seize the city with me!" After saying that, he rushed towards the east gate first, followed by six people behind him. Thousands of soldiers and horses followed closely behind, rushing into Yanjing City like a whirlwind in a blink of an eye.

After Guo Yaoshi entered the city and joined Yang Keshi, he divided his troops into seven groups and captured the seven gates of Yanjing.This time Guo Yaoshi's surprise attack concealed all the Liao troops. Everyone did not even know that the east gate had been breached. It was not until the army arrived that they woke up from a dream, but unfortunately it was too late.The guard sergeant was killed by the army before he could put up much resistance. In the blink of an eye, the seven city gates had changed hands. The people in the city did not even know that the Song soldiers had arrived, and the peace was as usual.

After seizing the city gate, Medicine Master Guo separated his troops to guard the city gate, and at the same time announced to the city that the Song army had arrived and asked everyone to surrender.Although Yanjing is the capital of the Liao Kingdom, because it is close to the Central Plains, the majority of the city is Han. These people have lived in the Liao Kingdom for a long time and suffered from military disasters for a long time. Now they are extremely happy to hear that Song soldiers have entered the city.One of them immediately wrote a poem:

"General Polu entered Yan at dawn, and the whole city was filled with peace and harmony. It traveled for three thousand miles, and it took 200 years to wash away the smell."

Here, Yang Keshi saw a crowd of Han people rejoicing, so he said loudly: "The army will arrive soon to welcome you back home. There are still remnants of the Liao invaders in the city. I hope I can help me guard the gate with whatever I have." After saying this, he ordered the generals on the left and right. The captured ordnance was thrown on the ground and allowed to be taken by the Han people.Inspired by this, the Han people took weapons from the ground and, under Yang Keshi's arrangement, dispersed to guard the city gates to prevent the Liao army from taking advantage of the chaos.

Guo Pharmacist on the other side saw that the overall situation was decided, so he ordered people to fly to report Liu Yanqing's victory in Yanjing, and at the same time organized his troops to fight in the streets with the Liao soldiers who came after hearing the news.For a time, the entire Yanjing City was filled with shouts of killing and was plunged into chaos.

"I've been having a meeting all morning, so I'm a little late. Please forgive me."
