Yelu'an was originally a person from the uncle Xiao Mei Gude, and Xiao Mei Gude teamed up with Li Han, a scholar of the Xuanzheng Palace, to conspire to defect to the Great Zhou.

Because the incident was not secret, Xiao Meigude and Li Han were denounced. Ye Lujing, the "sleeping emperor" of the Khitan, cut off Xiao Meigude's head without hesitation, but showed mercy to Li Han, a Han Confucian subordinate, but beat his ass to bloom, and never dared to act rashly.

was implicated by Xiao Meigude, Yelu'an, who was originally high and stable, escaped by luck.

Although Yelu'an was not beheaded, he was also demoted to eight levels in a row, and was sent to Nanjing Xijin Mansion to become the left-behind judge of the left-behind division.

Not long ago, Yelu'an's cousin Xiao Jinhua was canonized as a concubine by the sleeping emperor Yelujing. Only then did Yelu'an regain his reuse through nepotism and became the chief of the soldiers and horses in Yuguan.

Yuguan is a place where the terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is the only throat road connecting Zhongjing Road and Nanjing Road.

Yelu'an held the power of Yuguan, and the goose plucked its feathers, and the purse swelled up instantly.

On the fourth watch, Li Zhongyi led the soldiers of Yulin's right guard and quietly touched the city of Yuguan.

As a pioneer, Li Yunxiao, with 300 soldiers who had been trained for many years and were ready to climb Kaifeng City, cautiously touched the outside of the city wall.

On the wall of Yuguan, although a few torches were planted for lighting, no one patrolled around.

Li Yunxiao observed the situation in the city for a while, and since he was glad that the enemy was not defended, he also despised the Khitan people for taking it lightly.

It was almost dawn, Li Yunxiao did not dare to slack off, and gave the order to go to the city.

Saw. The sharpens spread a special iron ladder on their shoulders to the ground. Then, with the thick hemp rope prepared in advance, it was tied into more than a dozen simple ladders. It was built on the city wall.

Li Yunxiao took the lead, holding a crossbow in one hand, climbing with one hand, and soon climbed to the top of the city wall.

After some careful observation, Li Yunxiao confirmed that there was no one on the city wall except for a sleeping man who was napping near the city gate tower.

Li Yunxiao, who was not wearing armor and was dressed in a strong suit, quietly turned over the battlement. He bowed down. With both hands and feet, he quietly touched the back of the sleeping man, covered his mouth, and slashed the dagger fiercely, which immediately ended the life of the unlucky ghost.

On the city wall, there was no obstacle, and the sharp soldiers were full of strength and climbed upward.

Under the command of Li Yunxiao's special gestures, the swordsman, the sword and shield hand, and the archer hand. They occupied all the key points of this city wall and gradually controlled the situation.

When it was time for the fifth watch, the sky was bright, and Li Yunxiao assassinated ten Khitans defending the city in a row. The soldiers completely occupied the four walls of Yuguan.

Li Zhongyi saw clearly the signal sent out by the city to ascend to the city, and did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately waved his hand.

The officers and men of the pioneer battalion who are ready to storm the city. Immediately they swarmed upwards like ants. Yukan ascended to the city gate tower.

also deserves the bad luck of the Khitans, Li Zhongyi's plan this time is: close the door and beat the dogs.

So. It wasn't until after the Chinese army began to ascend the city that Li Yunxiao led the Rui soldiers, rushed down the city wall, killed the defenders, and completely opened the east gate of Yuguan.

He was quite brave and ready to go, and when he found that the city gate of Yuguan was open, he roared excitedly: "Sons, follow me in." ”

"Boom, boom......" More than 10,000 iron hooves struck the ground, making a thunderous tsunami sound, which was terrifying.

With a deliberate attack and a quick assault with cavalry, a sneak attack on the almost undefended Yuguan Governor's Mansion was self-evident.

Since Yuguan was a military fortress, there were almost no civilians except for the garrison and some merchants, so Yang Lie had a lot less scruples when he commanded the attack on the front line.

In less than half an hour, the organized resistance in the city was completely disintegrated.

Quite Chaoyong rushed into the governor's mansion, and although he hacked many Khitans to death, he never found any trace of Yelu'an.

In Yuguan City, there are actually 5,000 Khitan soldiers and horses, and they are stationed on the east and west sides of the pass.

In the barracks, the Khitans in their sleep, before they could figure out what was going on, fell under the iron hooves of the party cavalry, bleeding like a river, and it was miserable.

When Yang Lie led the infantry army and arrived in a hurry, the two Khitan military camps had been firmly controlled by the party cavalry.

Yang Lie looked at the barracks full of corpses, not angry but happy, he smiled and patted a thousand-commander on the shoulder, and praised: "Well done." ”

The commander grinned and said, "Khitan dog, there are few good things, rather than staying and wasting food, it is better to kill them cleanly." ”

When Yang Lie heard this, he couldn't help but smile even brighter, and he reminded in a low voice: "When the big marshal enters the city and asks, you say that the Khitan dogs are desperately resisting and must be forcibly suppressed." ”

The commander knew that Yang Lie was the confidant of Li Zhongyi's confidant, and his originally uneasy mood couldn't help but relax greatly, and whispered: "In case the handsome man is to blame, you can help Duoduo with good words." ”

Yang Lie waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you guys have done a good job, and you can't run away from rewarding meritorious deeds." ”

Since the late Tang Dynasty, especially Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty, in order to satisfy his selfish desire to be the emperor, he has betrayed the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitans.

Since then, until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later, the army of the Han regime has never set foot in Yuguan again.

Now, Li Zhongyi's northward army has brazenly attacked the hometown of Yuguan, and Yang Lie, who is quite a bit of Hanism, is in a good mood!

Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn": "If Yi Di enters China, then China will be; When China enters Yidi, it will be Yidi

Yang Lie has always been disdainful of this so-called fallacy of Confucianism, and a sentence he often hangs on his lips is: Killing and fearing Yidi, conquering it, and making it completely surrender to the iron hooves of the Huaxia Empire is the most correct way for Huaxia and Yidi to get along.

Li Zhongyi had heard of Yang Lie's bold words, and although he did not agree, he did not publicly reprimand.

Based on Yang Lie's understanding of Li Zhongyi's temper, as long as Li Zhongyi does not object, it represents acquiescence.

A few famous words that Li Zhongyi put on the side of his mouth, Yang Lie always remembered vividly.

The theory of the strength of the rivers and lakes!

The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest!

He can hit the grass valley, my generation might as well copy the vines!

Yulin's right guard has always strictly forbidden indiscriminate killing, but the actions of the party cavalry are much more convenient, which makes Yang Lie, a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world, take advantage of a big loophole.

By the time Li Zhongyi entered the city, there were few Khitan people in the city who were gasping, and the heads were piled up.

Li Zhongyi glared at Yang Lie coldly, but Yang Lie did not flinch in the slightest, he said loudly: "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, is the best policy." Those who commit strong men and heavenly might, although they are far away, will be punished. (To be continued......)
