101 In the Song camp, Yang Tingzhao saw that Emperor Taizong was being chased, so he took the lead and blocked the way of the Liao general, shouting: Hugh hurt our lord. Wu Huannu was furious, slashed with his knife, and after only a few rounds of fighting, he was stabbed to death by Yan Zhao.
102 Yan Zhao killed the pursuing soldiers, only to see Emperor Taizong standing on the river embankment. Yan Zhao knew that Taizong's horse had been killed by random arrows, so he gave his war horse to Taizong to ride, but Taizong refused. At this time, Qilang arrived, and Yanzhao asked Qilang Baotaizong to go first, and he was alone.
103 The Liao general WuLi Xi then arrived and met Yan Zhao. Yan Zhao roared loudly, and the gun went straight to Wuli Xi, who could not hold back and was stabbed to death by Yan Zhao. The Liao soldiers were in chaos and retreated one after another.
104 Yan Zhao had just gotten rid of the Liao soldiers, when Hu Yanzan, Gao Huaide, Yang Ye, and Yan Ping arrived after breaking through. Everyone joined forces to protect Emperor Taizong and rushed to Dingzhou.
105 Soon after Emperor Taizong arrived in Dingzhou, King Eight Sages, Pan Renmei, and others also arrived. Emperor Taizong told the ministers that if it were not for the protection of Yan Zhao's brothers, his life would be difficult to protect, and he also greatly praised yang Ye's father and son for their bravery. Pan Renmei listened to the displeasure in her heart.
106 After returning to Bieliang, Emperor Taizong made Yang Ye the Assassin of Dai prefecture, and all seven of the Yanzhao brothers were regimental envoys to reward them for their merits in escorting. Yang Ye's father and son Xie En had finished, so he went to Dai Prefecture to take up his post.
107 However, he said that Yelü Hugo had returned to Youzhou in victory, and the King of Tianqing greatly rewarded him. Brother Hugh advocated taking advantage of the Song Dynasty's monarchs to breathe uncertainly, and with a single blow, he led the elite troops to directly attack Beijing. King Tianqing then sent him as a marshal to lead his troops to Zhuozhou.
108 The Song Dynasty Zhuozhou defenders, who did not dare to face the battle, abandoned the city and fled. The Liao soldiers then attacked Yizhou. Yizhou stabbed Liu Yu, hearing the huge momentum of the Liao soldiers, while flying to Beiliang and asking for the assistance of soldiers, he could not hold out. The Liao soldiers attacked day and night, Yizhou was breached, and Liu Yu was captured alive by the Liao soldiers.
109 When Emperor Taizong heard that the two states had fallen one after another, he wanted to personally lead his men and horses to meet the enemy. The Eight Sages advised him not to go forward, and suggested that Yang Ye's father and son be sent to meet the enemy. Emperor Taizong heeded the advice of the Eight Sages and missioned Yang Ye to resist the Liao soldiers.
110 Yang Ye was ordered to rush to the border overnight. At this time, the Liao soldiers were already approaching Suicheng. Yang Ye's soldiers and horses had just arrived, and the liao pioneer Yelü Sha led a group of men and horses to block the way. Yang Ye scolded the Liao soldiers for not invading the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
