Yangshan, this is where Yang Liulang defeated the Liao army and captured and killed the Liao army generals. Before Li Zhang came here, he thought this place should be a steep terrain, but when he came here, he found that there was nothing special about it. Yangshan was not high, and there was also a piece of farmland at the foot of the mountain. If Hu Yan Shouxin had not brought him here, he would never believe that a war had happened here decades ago.

"Brother Li, there is a monument at the foot of the mountain there. It was erected by the local people after General Yang defeated the Liao army. Should we go and see it?" At this moment, Hu Yan Shouxin pointed to a forest not far away.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Zhang immediately walked over, and while he was walking, he was thinking about the matter in the northwest. Before, Li Yuanhao took the initiative to attack Li Chengyu, and was about to unify the party. The Song Dynasty finally took action and sent Cao Ma's musket army to cooperate with another cavalry to kill Li Yuanhao's nest from the rear.

However, Li Yuanhao was prepared for a long time. The entire Xingzhou was also strong and cleared the countryside. Most of the population had moved to the solid Xingzhou city. Although Cao Ma and his team successfully arrived outside Xingzhou city, they had spent a lot of money to capture Xingzhou city. At this time, Li Yuanhao had already eliminated Li Chengyu's main force, and then immediately sent troops back to help. Cao Ma and others had to retreat.

Of course, this time the troops were not gained nothing. After being unable to conquer Xingzhou City, Cao Ma and others simply sent troops to plunder the Dangxiang people everywhere. Although most of the Dangxiang people were moved to Xingzhou City, many people still hid in the rear. Under the attack of Cao Ma and others, these Dangxiang people outside the city also suffered heavy losses. When the Song army withdrew, the outside of Xingzhou City was in chaos.

In addition, although Li Yuanhao defeated Li Chengyu's main force, he still failed to catch Li Chengyu. Speaking of which, Li Chengyu's luck was really good. After his main force disappeared, he was about to fall into a desperate situation. However, Li Yuanhao's rear was attacked by the Song army, so he could only give up and continue chasing Li Chengyu, and then withdraw his troops to return to the rescue, which allowed Li Chengyu to escape again.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Chengyu's failure this time, his main force was completely lost, and the people's hearts had dispersed. If it was not as good as an accident, there would be no future comeback. However, the Song Dynasty has begun to send people to secretly contact Li Chengyu. If Li Chengyu can surrender to the Song Dynasty, with the support of the Song Dynasty, there may be a possibility of turning around in the future.

In general, Cao Ma and his team's goal of sending troops this time has been achieved. As long as Li Chengyu is not dead, Li Yuanhao cannot be considered a true unified party, and the Song Dynasty can also use Li Chengyu to hold Li Yuanhao's back.

Li Zhang was also very satisfied with this result. He did not ask Li Chengyu to turn around and defeat Li Yuanhao. In fact, he was very disappointed with Li Chengyu, the idiot. Now he only hopes that Li Chengyu can hold on for a few more years. When Zhao Zhen takes power in the future, he can use Zhao Zhen's hands to attack Dangxiang. After all, Zhao Zhen is not Liu E, and Li Zhang has a greater influence on him.

Li Zhang and Hu Yan Shouxin soon came to this forest. Although it was winter and the leaves had fallen, it was still obvious that the forest was very lush. In front of the forest, there was a tall stone tablet with eight big words "Yang Liulang destroyed the Liao army here". Although the stone tablet was very rough, these words were quite imposing and seemed to be written by famous artists.

"Brother Li, please see, under the woods behind this stone tablet, there are corpses of the invading Liao army. It is precisely for this reason that this forest is also very lush." ​​Hu Yan Shouxin pointed to the forest in front and introduced again. Although he had fought with the Khitans many times after he came to Hebei, they were all small groups of Khitans, at most a few hundred people, and they were simply incomparable to the time when the Song and Liao countries were fighting.

After seeing this stone tablet, Hu Yan Shouxin told the battle of Yangshan commanded by Yang Liulang. At that time, the Liao and Song dynasties did not sign an alliance, and the borders of both sides were endless. Suicheng was located on the border and the northern gate of Zhending Prefecture, so it was naturally the focus of the Liao attack. When thousands of Liao troops arrived in Suicheng, Yang Yanzhao first pretended to be defeated and led the Liao army to the foot of Yangshan. Then the ambushed Song army rushed out together, almost annihilated the invading Liao army. Even the generals of the Liao army were cut off their heads and sent them to Tokyo this time. Emperor Zhao Heng at that time also praised Yang Yanzhao.

However, although Yang Yanzhao was a famous general, he was not invincible on the battlefield. In fact, just three years after the Battle of Yangshan, the Liao army attacked Baozhou, and Yang Liulang led his troops to support him. However, he did not expect that the Liao army suddenly broke out when they arrived and the formation had not yet unfolded, causing heavy losses to the Song army. At that time, someone wanted to kill Yang Yanzhao, but was pardoned by Zhao Heng.

The shame of the Battle of Baozhou did not defeat Yang Liulang. Two years later, he led his troops to Liao territory, captured the ancient city, and defeated the Liao army again, and captured a large number of materials and prisoners of war. It was one of the rare great victories of the Song Dynasty against Liao. This battle also directly established Yang Liulang's status as a famous general. However, after the Chanyuan Alliance, he would no longer have any use of his power.

Thinking of Yang Yanzhao, Li Zhang then thought of his father Yang Ye, who is the Yang Lao Linggong in the Romance. Yang Ye is famous for his bravery and good at fighting and will win every battle. People at that time called him "Yang Wudi". Unfortunately, he was still defeated when he was conquered Liao. After being captured, he died on a hunger strike for three days. He can be said to be loyal and brave.

There are many famous generals like the father and son of the Yang family, but as time goes by, these famous generals have passed away one by one, and most of the generals left behind are playboys. If he hadn't intervened, it would have been difficult for famous generals like Cao Wei to appear. Now martial arts are making good progress under the auspices of Cao Wei. I hope that there will be more talents in the generals in the future and can revitalize the courage left by their ancestors.

After visiting Yangshan, Li Zhang and Hu Yan Shouxin returned to Suicheng. The mission was not just resting here, but also sent people to the Liao Kingdom and asked them to send people to pick up the mission. Otherwise, such a large group of people rashly entered the Liao Kingdom, and might be destroyed by the Liao army as the invading Song army, so the Liao Kingdom had to send people to pick them up.

After two days of rest, the Liao Kingdom finally sent people, so Li Zhang said goodbye to Hu Yan Shuan, and then the delegation finally left the Song Dynasty and set foot on the territory of the Liao Kingdom. However, Li Zhang was a little uninterested because the land under his feet was originally from Han people, but now it was occupied by the Khitans.
