Wang De'an, a native of Liao, was originally from a large Han family in Yanyun.
Later, after Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, his ancestors followed Han Deshu, Zhao Yanshou and others to submit to the Liao Kingdom.
Now Wang De secretly regarded himself as a Liao native, regarded the Han people in the Southern Dynasties as weak, believed that the orthodoxy had now moved north, and advocated actively going to war against the Song Dynasty, thus gaining the high-level appreciation and trust of the Liao people.
Among the Liao people, he was considered to be fluent in Chinese, even with the accent of Yan and Zhao, so he became the commander of the channel and often went deep into the Han territory for investigation.
This time a Khitan nobleman came to his army. This Khitan nobleman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, at the age when he liked to fly around like an eagle and a horse. He came to Wang De'an's army and said that he wanted to see the Song Dynasty.
.
Wang De secretly knew that his opportunity to rise to prominence had come, so he served this Khitan nobleman with utmost care.
After that, Wang De secretly led the opponent deep into the Song Dynasty several times, and regarded the tens of thousands of Song troops stationed in Daizhou as nothing.
On this day, Wang Dean once again took the other party deep into the Song Dynasty.
Daizhou is close to the remaining mountains of Taihang Mountain and Hengshan Mountain. The terrain is quite steep and there are several rapids in the mountains.
In the past, the Liao army regarded the Song army as if they were nothing, and frequently entered the country, constantly expelling the Song herdsmen and farmers, provoking border provocations, and then raided the grasslands and plundered cattle, sheep, grain and pastures.
At the same time, the Song army was worried about harassment from the Liao State and the "two households" of the border residents were connected to Liao, so they set up forbidden areas along the border to prohibit people from entering.
After that, the people of the Liao Kingdom saw that there was no one here, so they boldly went into farming and grazing, and over time it became the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Through this method of constantly encroaching on the borders of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom finally made a demarcation and encroached on the original territory.
territory, all put into his pocket.
Because it was a common thing for the Liao cavalry to invade the Song territory. In the past, the Song Dynasty used an attitude of calming down troubles and forbidding border generals from coveting military glory. This attitude of forbearance made the Liao people more bold.
This time it's the same.
Therefore, Wang De secretly took this Khitan nobleman deep into the Song Dynasty without fear. He guessed that this Khitan nobleman must have a great background, but he did not dare to ask about his specific background.
As long as you feel comfortable during this journey, promotion after returning to China will definitely be a piece of cake.
So Wang De'an took the princes of Liao Dynasty deeper into the Song Dynasty each time. After crossing the wooden bridge with a group of more than a hundred people, they saw the abandoned entrance shop of the Song Dynasty.
But this time, Wang De secretly saw two Song cavalrymen looking at him from a distance.
According to the past, when the Song army's sentinel cavalry saw the Liao cavalry entering the country, they would immediately retreat, report to the guard, and then drive them out with a Song army ten times the number of Liao people.
But this time it was different. The two Song Army cavalry were just staring at the group of them on the bunk, holding paper and recording something.
"What are they looking at?" The nobleman also saw two Song cavalrymen and asked Wang Dean.
Wang De secretly wanted to show off his skills, so he personally led a dozen of his men up with nooses to capture the opponent alive.
The Song cavalry spotted them and immediately galloped away. The Song people were fast, but Wang De'an and the others chased for a while but failed to catch up. One of his cavalrymen got angry, took out his bow from behind the saddle, and shot an arrow into the opponent's vest.
.
The Song Army cavalryman was also strong and did not fall off his horse immediately. Instead, he staggered on his horse, leaned on his horse and ran away.
"madness!"
Wang De was furious and used his whip to knock off the bow of the subordinate who had just fired the arrow.
The opponent immediately dismounted, and Wang De'an picked up the whip and lashed the opponent's face and body with a whip. The opponent did not dare to avoid it and just suffered it.
"alright."
After hearing the noble man's words, Wang De'an stopped.
Wang De secretly said: "My lord, I am not afraid of shooting that Song soldier. It's just that if a large number of Song soldiers are surprised, your trip will be delayed."
The noble man heard the words and said with a smile: "Big stock? How big can this big Song army be? It is difficult for us, more than a hundred cavalry, to conquer Daizhou, but if we leave, no one in Daizhou can stay."
The tone of the nobleman is a bit loud, and even has a bit of the aura of a noble nobleman, and the look of looking down on the world is not just a pretense, but a natural feeling.
This was also the consistent contempt that the upper class of Liao had for the Song Dynasty.
Wang De couldn't help but feel heartbroken, bowed and said: "What the noble man said is absolutely true."
After saying this, the noble man rode his horse and came directly to the platform, took out his sword and carved a few words on the wooden pillar.
"Yeluchun of Daliao is here for a visit!"
Not satisfied after writing it down, he asked what the name of this place was.
The subordinate said: "This is Hulin."
The other party smiled slightly and said: This place is called Hulin, because there are tigers in and out, right?"
So he drew his sword again and wrote.
"The majesty and majesty of Nanbang are overwhelming. If you go east, you can cross the Yalu River. All the monsters and monsters are brave. How can you teach tigers not to surrender?"
After writing it, the noble man laughed. When the Song Dynasty guard saw this poem, he was probably furious. Zhang Yue was helpless. The entire Song army in Hedong and Hebei was also disgraced.
Next, Wang De'an continued to lead this cavalry to wander around the Song Dynasty, but this time he found something different from before. What was different, he couldn't tell for a while.
It can only be said to be his intuition and judgment.
When he passed through a vast mountain forest where not even a single bird song could be heard, Wang Dean immediately turned his horse's head and said to the Khitan nobleman: "Nobleman, we must withdraw our troops immediately."
The noble man listened to Wang De'an's words solemnly and said without asking any questions: "You are the commander-in-chief, and everything is decided by you."
Immediately, Wang De'an led his men back to the ferry, and when they wanted to go back the way they came, they were surprised to find that the wooden bridge they came from had been destroyed.
Is this intentional or unintentional?
A subordinate on the side said: "There is a ferry thirty miles upstream from here. The water is very shallow and you can lead a horse across it."
Wang De secretly nodded, but he was a little panicked in his heart. If the person who destroyed the wooden bridge really wanted to keep them, would he have already taken precautions?
Could it be that he had just shot and wounded the Song soldier, which aroused the Song army's fury and planned to retaliate? Impossible, the Song army did not have such courage.
Once the Song-Liao war breaks out, the Song Dynasty officials and generals along the route will not be able to shoulder the responsibility.
Although Wang De'an was a little worried, the Song people's patience still gave him some courage and confidence.
If they really wanted to trap this group of cavalry, it would be difficult for the Song people to do so.
So Wang De'an continued to gallop with his cavalry. At this moment, he did not hesitate to run all the way to prevent the night from being long and dreamy.
When they rushed to the ferry, they passed a forest trail. Halfway through, they found that the trail was covered with trees.
This made it impossible for cavalry to pass.
Wang De'an was frightened and angry, and said loudly to the depths of the forest: "Cowardly southerners, don't hide, come out and fight to the death with me, Mr. Wang De'an, if you can!"
Wang De'an took out his horse and stood majestically on the forest road. He asked several questions in the dense forest, but no one answered.
By this time it was getting dark.
At this moment, Wang De secretly faced two problems, one was to camp here, and the other was to abandon the horse and walk through the dense forest.
Wang De thought for a while and immediately decided to camp in the forest. At the same time, he sent twenty or thirty people to move the wood.
They Khitan people always believe that as long as they have horses, no one can trap them.
Wang De was dozing half-asleep with his knife in hand. In the middle of the night, one of his subordinates told him that three Khitan people who had gone to move wood in the forest were 'lost'.
Wang Denan opened his eyes, as if this dense forest was like a monster with its bloody mouth, swallowing up all the Khitan people.
Wang De secretly knew that conflict at night was not a good idea.
Waiting until dawn, his subordinates reported to him that two more people were missing. They were 'lost' on the way to relieve themselves.
Wang De'an immediately ignored him and ordered his soldiers to move all the trees in front of them. When they got to the road, they found that at the beginning of the intersection, a wooden city was built at an unknown time. There were unknown numbers of Song troops stationed in the wooden city.
here.
As soon as Wang De'an approached, a barrage of arrows came from the wooden city.
Immediately, his subordinates told Wang De'an that the way back was also blocked by the Song people.
Wang De was furious when he heard this and said to his subordinates: "If the Song people wanted to kill us, they would have killed us long ago last night. They have resorted to such strenuous means to capture us alive. We should not be afraid. After the conflict, they will not dare to do anything to us."
After hearing what Wang De'an said, all the Khitan cavalrymen agreed with a roar.
Wang De secretly said to the Khitan noble: "Noble, let's explore the way first. If you accidentally die here, you will reveal your identity. The people of Song Dynasty will not dare to do anything to you."
After saying this, Wang De secretly drove his horse and charged towards Mucheng.
But the Song army in Mucheng really didn't dare to shoot arrows anymore, they just waved their flags and shouted.
Wang De was overjoyed when he saw this secretly, and immediately led his troops to circle around the wooden city.
"I know these southerners don't dare to do anything to us..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang De'an suddenly felt that he and his horse were sinking together, and then he fell into the horse trap with a plop.
The other Khitan cavalry suffered the same fate as Wang De'an. Some of them fell into the horse trap, while others were tripped by the horse ropes.
The cavalry behind saw that the situation was not good, and just as they were about to retreat, they threw countless nooses from behind the wooden wall, one at a time.
Wang De secretly saw this scene and closed his eyes in frustration.
…
"Big fish, really a big fish!"
"Sheriff, guess who we caught?"
Zhang Zhi smiled after hearing Zhong Shidao's report and said, "Is it possible to capture Yelu Hongji alive?"
Zhong Shidao smiled and said: "It's not Yelu Hongji, but his nephew Yelu Chun, the true prince of Liao!"
"real?"
Zhong Shidao said with a smile: "Originally we didn't know his identity. He didn't say a word after he was captured, but this man actually carved the number 'Yeluchun of Daliao Dynasty came here' on the wooden pillar of the platform."
.We just found out his identity. Now he can’t deny it even if he wants to.”
Zhang Zhi laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Okay! He is really an amazing person!"
Zhang Zhi secretly sent many spies to spy on the Liao military situation, and one of them was in Wang De's secret army. According to the report, there was a Khitan nobleman in Wang De's secret army.
But no one knows what kind of noble person he is.
After Zhang Zhi got the information, he set up a trap and captured the opponent alive.
Zhang Yue was currently reading the poem written by Yelv Chun.
"It's so majestic that it can overwhelm Nantang for thousands of miles. It can cross the Yalu River if it goes east. All the monsters and monsters are so courageous. How about teaching a tiger not to surrender? It's really ridiculous!"
