Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru glanced at each other, both guessing what the people from the Jinzhou Imperial Garrison Division were doing, were they here to greet them? Yang Yan said: "Let them come over." ”

After a while, Zhou Hongming led a person over, pointed at Yang Yan and said to the man: "This is the envoy of the Qincha Yang Festival who was ordered to inspect Sichuan this time, and Princess Yong'an. ”

The man immediately bowed down to the two of them and said, "Li Haoyi, the former general of the Jinzhou Imperial Garrison, see Yang Jie's envoy, see the princess." ”

Yang Yan looked at this, Li Haoyi, he was still very young, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and said, "General Li Zheng, don't be polite, please get up." ”

Li Haoyi knelt on the ground and didn't get up, and said, "Please make the decision for us, our king was killed by Wu Xi." ”

Yang Yan was slightly stunned and said, "What the hell is going on, you stand up and talk back first." ”

After Li Haoyi got up, he said: "It was more than two months ago, Wu Xi invited Wang Dutong to Xingyuan Mansion to discuss matters, and after he came back, Wang Dutong vomited blood and died that night. According to the autopsy, he died of poisoning. We reported Li Dutong's death to the Xuanfu Envoy, and Wu Xi came to Jinzhou with 20,000 horses, saying that it was on the order of the Xuanfu Envoy that Wang Xi would act as the commander of the capital, and then replace all the commanders and commanders of the four armies of the Jinzhou Imperial Garrison Division with the people he brought. When he left, he left 6,000 men and horses, saying that he was strengthening the defense of Jinzhou, and he was helping Wang Xi monitor our people and horses in Jinzhou. Later, a few of us discussed in private, thinking that these things were linked together, Wang Dutong must have been killed by Wu Xi. It's just that everyone has a low position, and Wang Xi looks at it closely, so he can't spare time to report to the Xuanfu Embassy. Later, I heard that the imperial court sent an envoy to inspect Sichuan, and Wang Xi dispatched troops last night to send troops to ambush on the road to Sichuan, to intercept and kill the adult. Several of us discussed in the city, and decided that I would go out of the city under the pretext of patrolling the city to report to the envoys, and ask the envoys to be our masters and avenge the king's capital. ”

Zhao Yueru snorted and said, "They are so bold. When the others heard this, their faces also changed, but they didn't expect that someone was really pregnant and ambushed in front, and they all looked at Yang Yan and listened to him to decide.

Yang Yan pondered for a while, and judging from the current situation, it was almost certain that Wu Xi was indeed going to rebel. Then you can no longer hesitate and must decide. said: "General Li Zheng, do you know how many people there are in Wang Xi's ambush?" Where is the ambush? ”

Li Haoyi said: "Returning to the envoy, Wang Xi still doesn't dare to fully trust our people in Jinzhou, the ambush soldiers are all people from Xingyuan Mansion, there are more than 4,000 people in total, just in front of the place called Fenggu, less than thirty miles away from here. ”

Yang Yan took the map and unfolded it, and the sealing valley was indeed the only way to the official road to Jinzhou. After thinking for a while, he said, "General Li Zheng, in addition to the official road, is there any other way through the sealed valley?" ”

Li Haoyi nodded and said, "Yes, if you go seven or eight miles further, there will be a small fork in the road that can bypass the sealed valley and lead straight to Jinzhou." However, this road is very narrow, only enough for one person and one rider to pass, and it is more than ten miles farther than the official road. ”

At this time, Zhou Hongming also said on the side: "Yang Jie, the end of the road that General Li Zheng said also knows that it is indeed possible to bypass the sealing valley and go straight to Jinzhou. ”

Yang Yan nodded, turned his head to Zhao Yueru and said: "Princess, you and Wei Jiao still led a large group of men and horses, continued to advance from the official road, and after arriving at the ambush site of the sealed valley, first blocked the mouth of the valley, and then sent people into the valley to set fire to the forest, forcing the ambush soldiers to show themselves, and then resisting with bows and arrows." However, these are all the officers and soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty, if you can, just force the ambush soldiers to surrender, and you don't have to kill them all. ”

Zhao Yueru said: "What about you?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Zhao Cao and I will take a small number of men and horses, led by General Zhou Zheng and General Li Zheng, from the small road to the back of the valley, and attack from both sides, we can wipe out the ambush soldiers, and then no one will escape back to Jinzhou to deliver the letter, and then we will join forces to take Jinzhou together." As long as you catch Wang Xi, you can ask everything clearly. ”

At this time, Li Haoyi said on the side: "If Yang Jie's envoy goes to fetch Jinzhou, he will be able to contact the brothers in Jinzhou and make internal responses for adults." In fact, in addition to the people and horses brought by Wang Xi himself from Xingyuan Mansion, many soldiers, deputy generals, and preparing generals of the Jinzhou Imperial Garrison Division are not subject to Wang Xi, but our position is small and powerful, and no one takes the lead. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, then don't hesitate, let's take action." ”

At that moment, Yang Yan and Zhao Cao led 200 cavalry, 600 infantry, a total of 800 people, and brought the white eagle in the suburbs of Wei, led by Zhou Hongming and Li Haoyi, and set off to take a small road to bypass the sealed valley and ambush the back road of the soldiers. Each of the 800 men carried only a spear, a single sword, a round shield, a bow, and two pots of arrows.

There were a total of twelve people in Li Haoyi's line, leaving a deputy general named Li Kunchen and six soldiers, and Zhou Hongming's subordinates also had about a dozen people, all of whom also stayed behind to lead the way for Zhao Yueru's team.

After Yang Yan led the men and horses away, Zhao Yueru immediately gave an order, and the men and horses were pulled out and continued to move forward, led by Li Kunchen and others, and walked in the direction of Fenggu.

The army went on for more than two hours, and the sun passed westward. Li Kunchen, who led the way, came to Zhao Yueru and said, "Princess, we have arrived at the warp, and the front is the sealed valley, and then we will go forward, and we will enter the ambush of the ambush army after turning a corner." ”

Zhao Yueru looked forward at the horse's body, and could see clearly through the afterglow of the sunset, only to see the mountains in front of him undulating, a road extending into the mountains, although the road is not too narrow, six or seven horses can walk side by side, but both sides are high mountains, is a valley. If an ambush is set up in the high mountains on both sides, once you enter the valley, you will inevitably be wiped out.

Zhao Yueru calculated the time, and estimated that Yang Yan's men and horses had gone around to the back of the sealed valley. Since the Song army entered Sichuan, the speed of march has not been fast, and it has only walked fifty or sixty miles a day. This is because on the one hand, it allows other disguised personnel to have enough time to blend into Sichuan and take their places, and on the other hand, it is also to confuse Wu Xi.

Zhao Yueru immediately ordered, and the brigade all stopped and stationed in the valley. Then he mobilized six hundred cavalry and galloped from the mountain road into the valley.

The cavalry was divided into three horses and a row in parallel, and after entering the valley, they walked a distance of three or four hundred paces, and all entered the valley, and the war horses all ran away, galloping forward, and began to shoot rockets into the trees on both sides. The cavalry in the middle lit a torch and led the cavalry on both sides.

The ambush soldiers on both sides had already seen the Song army's brigade arrive at the mouth of the valley, and were full of joy waiting for the Song army to enter the encirclement. But seeing that only a few hundred men and horses rushed into the valley, they thought that they were just the vanguard troops entering the valley to explore the way, so they didn't care, but continued to ambush, wanting to wait for the large group of men and horses to enter the valley before launching an attack and annihilating the Song army. Not only did this group of men and horses not continue to advance, but while galloping, they fired rockets on both sides, and immediately panicked, and they were all busy fighting the fire when they were attacking the Song army.

The sealing valley is not long, only a dozen miles away, the war horses are running at full speed, and it only takes a pillar of incense, but during this time, each soldier of the Song army shot more than ten rounds of rockets, and more than 2,000 rockets on the left and right fell into the slopes and jungles on both sides. Each rocket is specially crafted, not only does the gunpowder burn longer, but the arrows have cross-to-hook angles, and shoot there to hook there. There were no injuries to a few people, but the flames were dotted and scattered all over the hillside.

Although the fire was not big, it immediately spread, and the ambush soldiers did not expect that they would be attacked by the Song army, and they did not prepare buckets, even if there were buckets, there was nowhere to find water for a while, and the fire was extinguished there. At this time, it was the early spring season, the new shoots and shoots, there was a lot of water, although the burning was not fast, but it quickly produced a large amount of smoke, only choking the ambush soldiers, tears in the eyes, coughing and coughing. Helpless, they had to emerge from the jungle and flee for their lives to the valley.

The Song army's brigade quickly lined up at the valley pass, and the archers each found high ground to be on guard, just waiting for the ambush to be forced out by fire. It was a burst of random arrows, and more than 100 people were shot down in an instant. When the other ambushers saw that the Song army had blocked the mouth of the valley with bows and arrows, some immediately looked behind the trees and took shelter under the boulders, while some of the ambushers had no choice but to brave the smoke and fire and retreat into the valley, trying to escape from the other side.

At this time, Zhao Yueru ordered the Song army to shout: "Throw down your weapons and surrender to avoid death." ”

As soon as the ambush soldiers saw the general situation, they had no choice but to throw down their weapons one after another, raise their hands high, and shout: "We surrender, don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows." ”

Seeing that she was ambushed and won so easily, Zhao Yueru was very happy, but she didn't know what happened to Yang Yan on the other side of the sealed valley. At this time, only an eagle's cry was heard, and a white eagle circled and fell from the sky and stopped on Wei Jiao's arm.

Wei Jiao said: "Princess, Xiaobai is back, it seems that Lord Yang and they have also passed smoothly." ”

Zhao Yueru nodded, and then she was completely relieved. There were hundreds of ambush soldiers who escaped from the valley, and there were constantly ambush soldiers who escaped from the valley one after another, and all of them were seized by the Song army, took off their armor, and found a place to watch them. But then the fire grew bigger, the trees crackled, and half of the sky was red. The heat was scorching throughout the valley, and it seemed that we had to wait until the fire was small before passing through.

Zhao Yueru handed over the matter of cleaning up the mess to Wei Jiao, and ordered the other soldiers to set up tents and prepare to rest.

At this time, Hong Shu'er ran to Zhao Yueru's side and said with a smile: "Senior sister, look who is coming." Zhao Yueru looked up and saw that it was Wan Xiansheng and his own master and uncle. couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and hurriedly gave them a salute, saying, "Grandpa, Master, Uncle, why are you here?" ”
