...

Winning the dangerous Juyongguan in such a way of destiny, let Li Yan's prestige reach a height similar to that of a god. You can see some clues just by looking at the appearance of Li Yanguang and other generals kneeling on the ground devoutly.

but--

Li Yan didn't get carried away by it.

Juyongguan is important, but behind it is the city of Yanjing, the tens of thousands of troops from the Liao Kingdom, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Song Kingdom, and the Jurchen.

So, now is not the time to relax.

Li Yan quickly ordered that Han Shizhong lead his troops to take over Juyongguan.

Li Yan immediately gave another order to inform Xu Guanzhong that Juyongguan had been captured, and quickly transferred the army to Juyongguan, and then entered through Juyongguan.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Li Yan won't attack Bauhinia Pass.

This Bauhinia Pass is almost as important as Juyong Pass, therefore, Li Yan would never give this kind of dangerous pass to others.

Therefore, Li Yan did not ask Xu Guanzhong to withdraw all his troops, but only asked Xu Guanzhong to lead Tiefutu, Guaizi Zuojun, Wang Yanbu, and Zhang Xianbu to retreat to Juyongguan, and then enter Juyongguan first, and Zijingguan over there first. Leave Li Xun's troops to attack slowly.

Li Yan did not wait for Xu Guanzhong to come to attack Yanjing City, but after handing over Juyongguan to Han Shizhong, he directly led the army to attack Yanjing City - if he does not attack Yanjing City at this time, it is very likely that he will win in the future It took ten times, a hundred times the effort to win Yanjing City.

In fact, as soon as Juyongguan was captured, Li Yan sent the first battalion to attack Yanjing City.

The soldiers of the first battalion all rode good horses, and there were three horses per person. In terms of speed, they were definitely the first and second in the world.

Therefore, Li Yan very much hoped that the first battalion could enter Yanjing City before the high-level officials in Yanjing City knew that Juyongguan was broken.

With this deep expectation, Li Yan led Jie Fan's horse army, Han Shizhong's horse camp, Li Zong's horse camp, Fang Qifo's horse camp and the Volunteer Army to support the first battalion.

The closer he was to Yanjing City, the more Li Yan's heart was raised!
Li Yan very, very, very much hoped to see the Liangshan Army's flag at the head of Yanjing City. If that was the case, it would save him a lot of trouble!

close!

Closer!
Arrived!

That is……

It is really the banner of the Liangshan Army!

There is also the flag of the "No. [-] Battalion in the World"!

Li Zhu, who was beside Li Yan, said excitedly: "Great Governor, the first battalion has captured Yanjing City!"

Li Yan suppressed his excitement and said: "Not sure." Then he said to Si Xingfang not far away: "Go and see, is the first battalion captured Yanjing City?"

Si Xingfang took the order, and then rushed towards Yanjing City with his [-] cavalry.

As soon as Si Xingfang waited for the Liangshan cavalry to arrive at the city, the gate of Yanjing City opened, and then the suspension bridge was lowered, and then Shangguanyi came out with more than 100 cavalry troops.

After Si Xingfang and Shangguanyi whispered a few words, Si Xingfang led his [-]-horse army into the city, while Shangguanyi went straight to Li Yan.

When he came to Li Yan, Shangguanyi said excitedly, "Governor, we have invaded Yanjing City!"

turn out to be--

Just as Li Yan expected, the first battalion arrived at Yanjing City ahead of the fled Liao army sergeants, relying on their fast horses.

It wasn't until then that the defenders in Yanjing City reacted, and then wanted to put away the suspension bridge and close the city gate.

But Yang Zaixing took the lead and led more than a dozen people into the city before the suspension bridge was closed.

There were only more than 200 people at the city gate, not enough for Yang Zaixing to kill himself.

Therefore, the ending is self-evident, the first battalion quickly entered Yanjing City, and then controlled the eight gates of Yanjing City.

In the middle, Beiliao also organized a counterattack with more than 2000 horses, but it was defeated by Yang Zaixing and others.

Li Yan praised without hesitation: "Your first battalion fought beautifully in this battle, and you have lived up to the name of 'the first battalion in the world'."

After hearing this, Shangguan Yi straightened his chest, as did all the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion.

This is the reward they most want.

In the last battle of Qingshuihe, although their first battalion had achieved some results, they were far from worthy of the name of their first battalion. Therefore, everyone in the first battalion regarded the battle of Qingshuihe as their shame.

This time, Li Yan asked their first battalion to rush to Yanjing City. The first battalion from Yang Zaixing onwards held their strength and beat the BMWs under their crotches. The capital, and then took down the eight gates of Yanjing City.

Li Yan asked: "Where is Yang Zaixing?"

Shangguan Yi said: "Tongzhi has suffered a little injury, and is currently recovering."

Based on Li Yan's understanding of Yang Zaixing, if it was only a minor injury, he would not treat it now, but only after the war. Therefore, Yang Zaixing's designation was not a minor injury.

Li Yan said to the doctor accompanying the army: "Go and see the wounds of Yang Tongzhi, and then invite An Daoquan, tell An Daoquan, be sure to heal my Zhao Zilong!"

The doctor took the order, and then followed Shangguanyi's people to see that Yang Zaixing had gone, and Shangguanyi led Li Yanyi to Yanjing City.

Just like following Yunzhong Mansion, Li Zhu specially arranged for a strong force to escort Li Yan into the city, in order to frighten the people in Yanjing City.

After entering the city, the army soon came to an east-west street.

The houses on both sides of the street are connected, row upon row.

The news of Liang Shan's army entering the city had long since disappeared and spread gradually. Some bold residents ran out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.

However, after going through the exercises of the Song Army, most of the residents in Yanjing City, whether they are Han people, or the Khitan, Xi, and Bohai people, only dare to hide in their houses and close the doors and windows, and then lie on the cracks of the doors or windows. Peeping out at the army that will determine their fate.

It's no wonder these people are so careful. The last time Song Jun entered the city, first Song Jun killed tens of thousands of people, and then Xiao Pu Xiannv, Xiao Qian, and Yelu Dashi cleaned up tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, changing the king's flag at the head of the city will really kill people.

Li Yan said to Li Zhu, Bao Kang, Chen Kuutong, Lou Minzhong and others on his left and right: "This city and its people will belong to us from now on, and you should treat them like your own children. Those who dare to resist our Shuibo Liangshan rule don’t need to be soft on them.”

Li Zhu, Bao Kang, Chen Kuutong, Lou Minzhong and others said in unison: "No!"

Li Yan waved at them, signaling them to take over Yanjing City.

Naturally, Li Yan can't always use Li to help them govern the place. Although they also have talents in this area, they are not the most professional after all, and Li Yan can't do without them, so Li Yan just asked them to take care of them temporarily. , Li Yan has sent people to use flying slaves to inform Zhao Ding to come to Yanjing as soon as possible. Therefore, within three days at most, Zhao Ding will bring a professional management team to Yanjing City to take over Yanjing City.

Li Yan asked Shangguanyi, "Where did the Liao army go?"

Shangguanyi replied: "The Liao army in the city is likely to be concentrated in the Miyagi area, so as long as we can break through the Miyagi and capture Empress Dowager Xiao, we should be able to end this battle."
