Liaozhou is located in the southeast of the Guyu Dynasty and is at the junction with the Kongsang Dynasty. It has been warring all year round, but it is rare to have such a large scale this time.
Both dynasties are old empires on the mainland, with a very long history. Being able to compete until now shows that the two countries are indeed evenly matched.
But like this, 800,000 troops entered the country without any signs, and they broke into fifteen cities in a row, which was very rare in history. No wonder the imperial court was furious.
In theory, there are quite a few garrisons in Liaozhou, but recently the army was handed over and the guards were weak, which made the Kongsang Dynasty take advantage of the loopholes.
However, the army of the Kongsang Dynasty was indeed powerful this time, and it was good at fighting. It was able to break through fifteen cities in a row. It was a unimaginable strength.
There are about 400,000 Liaozhou defenders now, some of which were transferred later, and it is very difficult to resist. Although 100,000 elite troops were sent this time, they are still at a disadvantage in number.
When Su Yan and his party came outside Liaozhou City, they could still see the war ignited from afar.
The general in Liaozhou was named Li Tianyang, and he was appointed as the general and was in charge of all military affairs in Liaozhou. All defenders of Liaozhou must be controlled by him.
Yang Yuan ordered the army to set up a temporary camp in the city, and then took some people and horses straight to the head general's mansion, including Su Yan.
The group came to Li Tianyang's mansion, and after a brief report, they entered the main hall and met the Liaozhou commander.
"The last general Li Tianyang was ordered to lead 100,000 elite troops to come and reinforce. Please ask the general to show his advice."
After Yang Yuan arrived at the main hall, he saluted one of the generals directly, and Su Yan and his group knelt down.
"Haha, thank you General Yang for your hard work, I've been waiting for you,"
Li Tianyang laughed loudly, unable to stop feeling of joy. It seemed that the enemy's fierce offensive really made the general unable to bear it.
"The last general has temporarily camped the army outside the city, and he will follow the general's order,"
"Well, Kongsang's offensive has been fierce recently, and our troops are at a disadvantage. Fortunately, you are here to stop the opponent's momentum."
Li Tianyang talked about the specific situation with Yang Yuan, and Su Yan also took the time to look at the general. Li Tianyang is nearly fifty years old, but his appearance is still strong, and his big eyes, like a copper bell, showed a sharp edge, and he was not angry. Viagra.
"By the way, General, there is another thing. Before leaving, Lord Su from the Military Academy handed over one person to the last general and asked the last general to take him to the front line. This person was this person," Yang Yuan began to talk to Li Tianyang. After Su Yan's affairs, he pointed to Su Yan sitting aside: "The second son is named Su Yan, a member of the General Palace Military Pavilion, and has the resources of the general palace. The senior management of the General Palace specially ordered him to come to the front line to hone his skills."
Li Tianyang's eyes turned toward him. Although his eyes were calm, they had a kind of power that could see through people's hearts, which made Su Yan feel uncomfortable.
"I already know this, Su Yu told me, but how capable this kid is, it's not another one to gilt, right?"
Li Tianyang's voice was very heavy, and then he had a sarcastic sarcasm, which made Yang Yuan stand on the spot in embarrassment, not knowing how to reply.
"Ahem, probably not. If you can enter the General Palace Bingji Pavilion, how could you be an ordinary person?"
After a moment of silence, Yang Yuan coughed twice and said, he knew that some famous families in the imperial capital often sent some children to the army to gilt. Most of them were wine bags and didn't do anything serious. If they earned enough reputation in the army, they would go back. , which is beneficial to future official careers.
"That's not necessarily. I have seen so many such people. Who can guarantee that he is really capable?"
Su Yan smiled bitterly, and really responded to Su Yu's words. The general's temper is really tough and difficult to deal with. However, despite this, he still has to come forward to defend himself. He can't let him send him back. Bar.
"Su Yan greets the general. This time he came to the front line was not the clan's intention, but the academy intended us to come here to hone our skills, so the general should be assured that there will be no things you are worried about,"
"As for the same sentence, who can guarantee that you are not a playboy who is addicted to flower wine? Could it be that I will hand over a city to a young boy who doesn't even know the details?"
Li Tianyang was still unmoved and said stiffly, looking at Su Yan with some playfulness.
"Before leaving, my mentor warned me to come here from the basics, and not ask for higher positions from the beginning, and to hone my skills. As for the boy's ability, if the general doesn't believe me, you can ask my mentor."
Su Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, Yang Yuan next to him nodded secretly.
"Oh, who is your teacher?"
Li Tianyang smiled, picked up a cup of tea, and asked.
"Shen Qinglan,"
"puff…"
Li Tianyang, who was drinking tea, suddenly heard this and sprayed out the tea in one sip, and then the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching.
"Which Shen Qinglan,"
"Yan Luo in White, Shen Qinglan, it seems that there are not many names that are duplicated,"
Li Tianyang's expression instantly became extremely wonderful, and the corners of his eyes trembled, and he didn't know what he remembered.
"Is that old guy dead yet?"
"Ahem, I'd better not answer such questions," Su Yan laughed dryly.
"I really didn't expect that I've never heard from him for twenty years. It's a miracle that a person like him can live to this day," Li Tianyang sighed sadly, and then seemed to remember something, his expression changed, whether to describe it in detail. When I came up, I felt like I thought of an embarrassing thing that I had been many years ago.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. From this first side, you are indeed much better than those dandy players. Let's do this. There is a small town in Jiangling in the southernmost part of the front line. You can go there and be a lieutenant. ”
Li Tianyang did not delve into Shen Qinglan's topic and gave Su Yan a position.
"General Xie,"
Su Yan walked to Li Tianyang and said in a stern voice.
"You, take him over,"
Li Tianyang responded, and then assigned a guard beside him to send Su Yan to Jiangling City.
After ceremonial rituals, Su Yan followed the guards out of the tent.
After coming out, Su Yan took a breath and finally let go of the stone in his heart. On the way he came, Su Yan had been guessing where Li Tianyang would give him. Although Su Yan did not expect any high position, he did not expect to be taken after he arrived in Liaozhou. Li Tianyang waved his hand and started from a soldier.
If that were the case, Su Yan would be so disgusting. Starting from a soldier, even if he could work hard all the way, he would probably be over when he was qualified to command the battle.
The position of lieutenant is not considered a general, and can be said to be a small officer.
The military ranks of the Guyu Dynasty and the Kongsang Dynasty are the same. The generals are from high to low, including the Grand Commander, General, General, General, General, General, General, and Participant General.
Among the people Su Yan met, Li Tianyang was already the general and was a master of the army. Yang Yuan was the general. Wu Meng, whom Su Yan knew, was of the same level as Su Yan, and Su Yan's father Su Zhengtian was the one who was in the same level as Su Yan. Will.
As for the captain, it can be said that the highest level under the general is not very powerful or small. His subordinates can usually bring one or two hundred soldiers.
Although the difference between the lieutenant and the general is only one level, the difference between the world is almost the same, not only the difference between heaven and earth.
Here we can quote an old saying, "One level is a big one to crush people, and it is more difficult to be promoted in the army than a civil servant. After all, there are many civil servants, and some may not be qualified to be promoted in one position for the rest of their lives."
It took a full day to leave Liaozhou City and arrive at the so-called Jiangling.
After arriving in Jiangling, the guard took Su Yan directly to the city lord's mansion in Jiangling, met the county magistrate and general of the city, and handed over Li Tianyang's letter of order to them.
"Thank you for your hard work, come and hold a banquet," the county magistrate took the letter of order, welcomed it, and then ordered the servants.
"No need, the war is urgent, I have to rush back and say goodbye,"
The guard waved his hand and refused, then bowed and turned around and left.
"Su Yan pays homage to the county magistrate and general,"
Seeing the guards leave, Su Yan bowed to the two immediate bosses, and then looked at them.
The county magistrate was named Guo Wenxi, about forty or fifty years old, with a bit of gray hair and a general. The general was named Cui Da. He was middle-aged and strong, but he was not very majestic. He was in charge of military affairs in this city.
"Captain Su is polite. Now everyone has become colleagues. We should support the enemy together in the future." The county magistrate knew Su Yan's identity. Although Su Yan's position was low, his background was for him, a small county magistrate. But it is a bit terrible, so I dare not be too arrogant.
However, the main general disagreed and looked at Su Yan lightly, standing aside without saying a word.
"My lord has ruined the boy. However, although the general assigned me a lieutenant when he came, he did not have any specific titles. I would like to ask for a famous general."
Cui Da ignored Su Yan, but Su Yan couldn't ignore him because he was Su Yan's real immediate boss, so he asked about this.
"Then I'll give you a Yueqi Captain," Cui Da said casually without thinking.
Su Yan responded, and there were many types of lieutenants, and the affairs they were responsible for were also different, but the Yue cavalry lieutenants like Su Yan were in charge of the cavalry.
"General Xie, please appoint someone to help Beishi complete the handover,"
"You, accompany him,"
Cui Da was a little impatient and pointed to a guard next to him, and then took Su Yan out.
"General Cui seems a little unhappy,"
Guo Wenxi naturally saw Cui Da's expression, and after Su Yan left, he asked.
"Hmph, the boy who is still not dry, came here before he could grow up his hair. This is the battlefield. Who will be responsible for the trouble?"
"Oh, why bother to get angry? Although Su Yan is young, he is a famous family after all. It is not good to offend him. General should take more responsibility. If he provokes the big man behind him, it will be more of a loss."
"Hmph, let's talk about it,"
Cui Da snorted coldly, then his eyes flashed, not knowing what to think about anymore,
