Yelude fled, the Khitan army was defeated, and even though Du Chong ordered not to chase the scattered Khitan army, the Jin army also achieved an unprecedented victory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 30,000 Khitan servant army was almost wiped out, and few escaped. Jerod's cavalry also suffered heavy casualties, beheading more than 20,000 men, and the horses and booty he captured were innumerable.

This is the ending that almost everyone didn't expect, even Li Fengyun.

The last to come to the aid was indeed the Fengyun battalion led by Dian Kui and Bai Futong, and the huge infantry behind them were Yang Zhao's 16,000 surrendered troops, as well as the 6,000 defeated soldiers who originally guarded Yangcheng.

This was not Li Fengyun's idea, but after Bai Futong and Dian Kui received the news that Yelude Guangqi's whole army was attacking Du Chongwei's camp, they discussed with everyone, and in view of the strength of the Khitans, they thought that Li Fengyun's 6,000 elite cavalry might not have the effect he expected, and decided to do their best to support Du Chongwei's camp.

In the entire Yangcheng, only the newly recruited soldiers of the 4,000 Fengyun Battalion were left, which were guarded by She Pocai and Zhang Jun.

It was this act of caution that became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Li Fengyun sighed, these days, a series of proud achievements, made him too proud, he really thought that with the six thousand elite cavalry that Huangfu Yu could sweep the world, he didn't take the Khitan iron cavalry in his eyes, and almost made a big mistake.

Yelu Deguang returned to the Khitan camp, gathered the defeated army that had scattered and fled, and returned north the next morning.

Du Chongwei did not take the opportunity to attack Yelu Deguang, but only ordered Guo Wei to lead the remaining 6,000 elite cavalry in the battalion, send them along the way, and recover the prefectures and counties along the way, and send Yelu Deguang out of the Jin border.

These are all expected by Li Fengyun.

Raise your own self!

Although Du Chongwei hit Yelu Deguang hard, he was unwilling to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If he could, Du Chongwei would probably not be willing to hit Yelu Deguang hard.

Therefore, Du Chongwei chose Guo Wei instead of the reckless Li Fengyun and Huangfu to "pursue" the Khitan army.

Guo Wei is Liu Zhiyuan's person, and at this point, Du Chongwei's thoughts are probably the same as Liu Zhiyuan's.

In any case, the Khitan has been hit hard by this, and I am afraid that it will not be able to invade the south on a large scale in a year or two, and the Central Plains will finally have a period of peace. The war between the Central Plains and the Khitan came to an end for the time being.

But Li Fengyun knew that the Khitans would never stop there.

Presumably, it won't be long before the Khitans lick their wounds and invade the Central Plains again.

Yelu Deguang may have already figured out the minds of Liu Zhiyuan and Du Chongwei, the feudal officials, before he dared to come alone and retreated calmly.

In the same situation, he would do the same, this is simply a business that only wins and does not lose.

If you win, you can sit on the Central Plains, and it doesn't matter if you defeat it, at least you can plunder a lot of money and take a large number of people into slaves. No matter how you calculate it, the Khitans take advantage. Who would refuse to do this kind of thing that only takes advantage of and does not suffer?

Of course, it was not Li Fengyun's turn to worry about these things, and soon Li Fengyun's reward was promulgated.

It was promulgated by Sang Weihan (Note 1), a popular man next to the little emperor today, which shows how much importance the little emperor Shi Chonggui attached to Li Fengyun.

This time, Li Fengyun's reward was really not bad, he was promoted to the title of Li Fengyun, from Dingguo Bojin to Dingguo Hou, honored the three-rank upper army, and awarded the post of the third-grade champion general and scattered official. He was actually given the position of the commander of the three products, the commander of the Fengyun Guard, and the post of squire of the military department.

In view of the outstanding achievements of the Fengyun Battalion, the Fengyun Battalion was expanded to Fengyun Guard, and it was transferred to Kaifeng to garrison as the personal guard of the Son of Heaven.

Fengyunwei has jurisdiction over the establishment of six prefectures, each of which is based on the establishment of 1,200 people in the upper fold chong mansion, five foot soldiers in the fold chong mansion, plus one cavalry in the fold chong mansion.

If you count all the officials and personal guards, Li Fengyun can have 8,000 troops.

The subordinate officials, except for some appointed by the imperial court, were recommended by Li Fengyun according to the respective merits of his subordinates, and then issued a separate order to reward them.

In other words, from now on, Li Fengyun is no longer Du Chongwei's subordinate, but directly subordinate to the little emperor Shi Chonggui.

In addition, the rewards were innumerable.

After listening to Sang Weihan's announcement, Li Fengyun stood stunned for a long time.

Sang Weihan said with a smile: "Dingguo Hou, General Li, still don't accept the order to thank you?"

After receiving the order of thanks, Li Fengyun asked: "Lord Sang, what does the emperor mean? I, Li Fengyun, am a big boss, and many people say that I am not suitable to be an official. ”

Sang Weihan laughed and said, "Yes, General Li, you are indeed not suitable to be an official. Without asking for an order, he beheaded Hou Ying, who was rewarded by the Holy Decree, where did the face of the Holy Lord go, and where did the face of the Manchu Dynasty minister go?

The table of the Holy Shrine is already full of recitals against you, some say that you are tyrannical, some say that you leave your post without permission, and even say that you bully your colleagues and force marriage. In the capital, there are really a lot of people who hate you!"

Li Fengyun said with a smile: "Actually, I'm a big old man, I don't have so much thought, I just think about fighting." In other words, why does the emperor still let me be such a big official?"

Sang Weihan said with a smile: "Because the Holy Lord likes your daring, appreciates your vigorous and resolute actions, and takes a fancy to your peerless generals!"

The saint prefers an upright and loyal military general like you, a simple-minded lonely minister. Do you understand?"

Of course, Li Fengyun understood that the little emperor Shi Chonggui was forcing him to draw a line with Du Chongwei. Obviously, Shi Chonggui has a heart for Du Chongwei. The intention of such a heavy reward is probably to break up the connection between Li Fengyun and Du Chongwei and remove Du Chongwei's right-hand man.

Thinking of Du Ruyue, Li Fengyun said with a sad face: "Master Sang, you may not know that I have already made an oath with Du Shuai's second daughter, Miss Ruyue, I don't know if the emperor can fulfill it?"

Sang Weihan looked at Li Fengyun strangely, and said: "Why does the eldest husband have no wife? The emperor has given you four peerless beauties, aren't you satisfied? If you want everyone's daughter, this is not a difficult matter, which girl you have a crush on, you say bluntly, the old man is the master of your marriage."

General Du's second daughter, Ruyue, has already been married to Li Shouzhen and Li Tianyao, the son of General Li, don't you know about this?"

"I know, I know, but I, Li Fengyun, have sworn to the sky, I will only marry Ruyue as my wife in this life, I don't know what solution Lord Sang can have?" Li Fengyun said with a sad face, "There are still those four beauties, it is better for Lord Sang to take them away." I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control it, and Ruyue will find out, that's terrible!"

Sang Weihan laughed: "I didn't expect General Li to be a tiger idiot (Note 2)! When the old man came, the matter between you and Miss Du, in fact, your teacher, Master Lu Guogong Feng, had already mentioned it to the old man, so it only depends on what Master Li does!"

"Master Sang, what do you mean by this?" Li Fengyun was surprised.

Note 1: Sang Weihan (898-947), mentioned above, was a native of Luoyang, Henan Province, Tang Dynasty. The minister of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao's close minister, Shi Jingjiao's plan to invade Luoyang by means of Khitan soldiers came from him, and he handled specific matters, making great contributions to the Tang Dynasty after Shi Jingjiao's annihilation.

After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty in 936 AD, Sang Weihan served as the prime minister twice, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition. After the Khitan was destroyed, he was killed by Zhang Yanze.

Note 2: Sang Weihan's words allude to Du Ruyue as a tigress, and made fun of Li Fengyun for being afraid of his wife.
