After receiving the news that Li Fengyun had recovered Yangcheng, Du Chongwei almost didn't believe his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How is it possible, just now I got the news that Yangcheng was attacked by Yelu Twist, the guard Hou Ying was unknown in life and death, the grain road and the back road were cut off, and a large amount of grain, grass and supplies fell into the hands of Yelu Twist, and in a blink of an eye, I received the news that Yangcheng was recovered, and recaptured the grain, grass and supplies, not to mention, and rescued 4,000 captured officers and soldiers, and subdued 20,000 surrendered soldiers.

How did Li Fengyun do it?

Du Chongwei was afraid that the news would be false, so he asked all kinds of details carefully.

All the details are tightly knit, there are no flaws, Du Chongwei listened, and laughed: "General Li is really a lucky general, go back and tell Yang Zhao Lord Yang that after the end of this battle, this marshal will definitely report this matter to the saint, and he is indispensable for the official position of a festival envoy." ”

After that, Du Chongwei beat the drums and gathered the generals to inform the whole army of this great news.

When the 200,000 troops heard about this, their morale was greatly boosted. The generals praised Du Chongwei's foresight and foresight, and he had already ambushed this strange army, and vowed to defeat the Khitan army, and the voices of war were endless.

Liu Zhiyuan and Guo Wei glanced at each other, and each sighed.

Guo Wei said in his heart: "Li Fengyun is probably not only a lucky general, he is simply a rare handsome talent, there are a few people in the world who can give birth to such a quick wisdom at this time of crisis, return to the sky with one hand, and save the general of the collapse, amazing, amazing!"

In ancient times, there was a saying of 'Wolong and phoenix chicks, you have to settle the world', I look at this Li Fengyun's ability, I'm afraid it is not under Wolong and phoenix chicks. You can get it all over the world!"

After Li Fengyun skillfully took Yangcheng, there was no whole army stationed in the city, Yangcheng was only so big, and so many people were clustered in the city, not only would it not give Yangcheng better protection, but it would make Yangcheng even more unsafe.

From the 20,000 surrendered troops, Li Fengyun selected more than 4,000 men who dared to fight and expanded to the Fengyun battalion. In this way, the Fengyun battalion has more than 6,000 soldiers, and it is still divided into six regiments, but the strength of each regiment reaches 1,000 people, which is comparable to a Zhongzhi Chongfu. Yangcheng was temporarily handed over to the Fengyun Camp to guard.

A camp was set up outside the south gate of Yangcheng, and Yang Zhao, who had just surrendered, led 16,000 people to be stationed outside the south gate as a screen for the south gate of Yangcheng.

Another camp was set up outside the north gate of Yangcheng, and the 6,000 elite cavalry and more than 4,000 captured soldiers of the original Yangcheng were placed in this camp as the screen of the north gate of Yangcheng.

There are only two gates in Yangcheng, and there are these two camps as a screen, forming a mutual support with Yangcheng, I believe that even if Yelu Deguang sends troops to attack again, it is impossible to easily attack Yangcheng.

As soon as the defense of Yangcheng was arranged, a personal guard suddenly came to report that a group of people from outside the south gate, about 2,000 people, claimed to be Huaihua Zhonglang General, Qingche Du Lieutenant, and Yangcheng Town Guard General Hou Ying, and led his troops to take over Yangcheng. Yang Zhao did not dare to use force with them, and only blocked them from the south gate.

"Did the big marshal send someone to take over Yangcheng so quickly? didn't you hear the big marshal talk about it!" Li Fengyun felt strange in his heart, and felt that the name Hou Ying was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

When he was puzzled, a clever clerk from the former Yangcheng County stepped forward to explain: "General Li, this General Hou Ying is the one who was beaten away by Yelu Mada, I didn't expect him to hear the news so quickly and run back."

Originally, he was not so cowardly, I heard that this Hou Ying general, originally the commander of Zhaozhou, when the Khitan just went south, he also fought a fierce battle with the Khitan army, but unfortunately the difference in strength was huge, and he was defeated by the Khitans, and he lost an ear on the battlefield.

He originally wanted to be loyal to death, but he was forcibly stopped by his subordinates, rescued from the battlefield, and fled to Kaifeng.

In Kaifeng, when the saint heard about him, he was very moved, so he gave him the title of Huaihua Zhonglang General Light Car Captain as a reward.

This time, Du Dashuai led an army of 200,000 to the north, and General Hou Ying cut his fingers and wrote a bloody letter for battle. The Holy Lord personally commended him as a loyal and brave man and sent him to the army of Du Dashuai. ”

Li Fengyun heard this, and said strangely: "In this way, even if this General Hou Ying is not good, he is indeed a loyal and brave warrior, how could he lose Yangcheng and run away in a daze?"

"Fart!" The clerk's words angered a fierce general in the tent, Wang Dashan blushed, strode out and said loudly: "When I heard the name Hou Ying just now, the last general suspected that it was him, but I didn't expect it to be him." Hou Ying, hum, my lord, have you forgotten the fugitive general whose ears were cut off by you when you first met me?"

Li Fengyun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that on the way to Zhenzhou with Mo Qingyan and Du Ruyue, he passed by an unnamed village that had been ravaged by Khitan Tatars, where he met a Jin army general who fled without a fight, and he cut off one of his ears, and his name seemed to be Hou Ying.

"It turned out to be him!" Li Fengyun suddenly figured it out, and laughed, "Let him come to guard Yangcheng, can Yangcheng not be lost?"

Immediately, Li Fengyun's face turned pale and shouted: "Call Hou Ying's single man to come to see me! Two thousand soldiers, all of them have given me a sword and been imprisoned!"

The emperor on the side was very strange and asked about Hou Ying.

Li Fengyun told the original story as it was, and sighed: "I didn't expect that when I cut off one of his ears, he used this as a record to invite pets, and I didn't expect that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were deceived by him, and he actually gave him a commendation of Huaihua Zhonglang General Light Car Captain."

If such people will be rewarded, where will there be thousands of soldiers who bravely kill the enemy?

If such a person is asked to lead the army into battle, it is no wonder that the defeats will come one after another. ”

Huangfu's face was flushed with dryness, Li Fengyun's words scolded all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the current emperor, the dignified Jin, and the military affairs, how could he not blush?

Li Fengyun blamed Du Chongwei at the beginning, saying that Du Chongwei sent a pig to guard the important land of Yangcheng, and Huangfu Yu still felt that it was a bit excessive, but now it seems that saying that Hou Ying is a pig is to promote him, and the pig still has a brave move, this guy is simply a rabbit cub who can only brag and talk big.

A rabbit cub who almost killed 200,000 soldiers.

Such a person actually dares to bring someone back to Yangcheng, this guy is really well-informed.

Du Chongwei actually sent a timid rabbit cub to guard Yang City, which was inevitably responsible for negligence.

Huangfu met but didn't know that Hou Ying was originally the commander of Zhaozhou, belonged to Du Chongwei's old department, and was sent by the imperial court, and he himself took the initiative to jump out and ask to guard Yangcheng, Du Chongwei didn't send him, who would he send?

"Under the heavy pupils (Note 1), it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, which is also a reasonable thing!" Huangfu Yu sighed lightly and said. But he himself knows very well in his heart that an official like Hou Ying, such a general, I am afraid that it is not only an omission, but also a lot of people in the Great Jin Kingdom, how can a "omission" be covered up?

Note 1: According to legend, Shun has two eyeballs in each eye, that is, a double pupil, which can see things that others can't see, so later generations have the saying "double pupil photo" to describe the emperor's discernment.

Huang Fuyu said this sentence to explain and cover up this ugly matter for the little emperor Shi Chonggui and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, this person is loyal to the emperor and the Great Jin, and he is unwilling to speak ill of the Great Jin. In the history books, his later fate also proves this.
