Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Xiao Talin was a tiger general of the Liao army. In the battle of Chen Jiagu, General Yang was shot and wounded by a cold arrow, causing him to be captured and eventually died in the Liao camp. The lonely king hated him deeply." Defang looked at Zhang Huan, "General Zhang must be careful "

"The last general will not disgrace his fate!" Zhang Huan turned around and left

Zhang Huan Qingqi set up an ambush in the north of Chanzhou City. Soon, Xiao Talin led his troops approaching. Zhang Huan saw a very special banner and knew that it was Xiao Talin, so he ordered to fire after he entered the ambush. The bed crossbow is very powerful, not only has a long range and great strength, but also can shoot several arrows in a row. Xiao Talin was shot in the forehead by the crossbow arrow and fell off his horse after hearing Zhang Huan's order. situation.

At this time, the people on the north bank of the Yellow River rushed to cross the river, and thousands of people took refuge every day.Ding Wei was ordered to deal with it. He decisively pulled several death row prisoners out of prison, pretended to be boatmen, and then ordered officers and soldiers to behead them on the river.The other real boatmen saw that the imperial court was serious and didn't dare to do anything wrong again, so Ding Wei mobilized officers, soldiers and boats to ferry day and night. In less than three hours, all the people on the north side of the Yellow River were able to cross the Yellow River.Immediately afterwards, he selected young and strong people from among the refugees, and divided them into several blocks by the Yellow River hundreds of miles away. They all erected flags, sounded golden drums, and beat diaodou, and the sound could be heard hundreds of miles away.The Khitan people didn't understand the inside story, and thought that Song Fang was prepared, so they withdrew to the north bank.

The next day, Defang wrote a letter, shooting at the Liao camp with a crossbow arrow, angrily denouncing the evil deeds of the Liao army's southward invasion, and saying that a large number of reinforcements have arrived, if you want to retreat, you should surrender as soon as possible, Yelugeba got the letter and read the content However, it was actually Zhao Defang who signed the letter. He put away the letter and came to Empress Dowager Xiao, stating that the war was unfavorable and supplies were in short supply, so Empress Dowager Xiao sent someone to sue for peace in desperation.

"My lord! My lord! The Liao army sent envoys to seek peace." Li Jilong came to report

Defang looked at the peace agreement and was very happy, "Okay, General Li has made a great contribution, and the lonely king will report it to His Majesty for the order."

Zhenzong was looking at the peace agreement in the meeting hall, Defang, Kou Zhun, Li Jilong and Gao Qiong were talking in a low voice outside the meeting hall, Li Jilong said, "My lord, the Liao people are just delaying the time, and now their army has no food." , has become a difficult situation, the last general will lead the troops to fight out, combined with the strength of the two generals Yang and the soldiers from all walks of life, within three days, all the Liao bandits will be wiped out!"

"Well," Defang nodded, "This is foreseeable. There are many royal families in the Liao army, and they are very important. If they can be detained in exchange for the city and the land of Yanyun, there will be no need to worry about the stability of the northern border in the future. "

"Yes," Kou Zhun said, "My lord, this is a great achievement. Taizu Taizong has a spirit in the sky, and he will be pleased."

"That's right." Defang was very happy, and then said to Gao Qiong, "Gao Taiwei, it's been a hard journey. Your Majesty's safe arrival is all thanks to Gao Taiwei."

"This is a wise prince. The old minister is not afraid of death. If you say a word, the old minister will send His Majesty to Chanzhou City even if he jumps on the imperial chariot and drives the horse himself."

"Gao Taiwei, this is not the lonely king's idea, it is Kou Chengxiang's clever move. Anyway, His Majesty has arrived, and now we have a chance to win. They are all great heroes. Let's have a few drinks later. Hahaha"

A few people were talking, and the servant came out, "See Wang Ye, General Li, Gao Taiwei, and Prime Minister Kou."
