The army is fighting. The more people and horses there are, the more difficult it is to use the method.
The most important thing at this time is to understand the other party's plan.
"The general said that Yang Xuan has a trebuchet, and if he insists on holding on, he will break it one by one. Therefore, he ordered Yanzhou not to collect all the troops in the city. Rui should be left outside the city to contain the Northern Xinjiang army."
"good!"
Shang Guoneng praised: "The general is so wise and powerful!"
The envoy smiled and said: "The general is on the front line of Cangzhou. Yang Xuan must not be able to attack Yanzhou with all his strength. In this case, the battle situation is deadlocked."
Then the messenger left.
As soon as the envoy left, Shang Guoneng scowled, "Is Governor Helian worthy of commanding me?"
Ran Jin turned around and looked, "Be careful not to be overheard."
"Since he came to the south, I have been enduring it. But look what he did? With an army of 90,000, facing Yang Gou's army of 80,000, he actually chose to be a coward! With an army of 90,000, he didn't dare What are you doing when you confront Yang Gou on the side of Yanzhou and huddle on the front line of Cangzhou?"
Shang Guoneng's temper exploded. "When Jin Ying beat the general's children severely in Ningxing, it happened that someone in the court suppressed the general and was not allowed to retaliate.
That bitch came to the south this time. I wanted to get rid of him, but Governor Helian tried to protect him in every possible way.
Since it can't be done, then let's suppress it. But Governor Helian spoke again, asking me to reuse Jin Ying. Mother Qian Te's old dog, reuse it, now it's fine, four thousand horsemen escaped and hundreds came back, Jin Ying surrendered to the enemy, He Does the company commander still want face?"
Shang Guoneng is a member of Jiangmen’s network.
"That old dog, Heliandu, relied on touting the late emperor's throne. Now that he has succeeded, he continues to lick, so that he can take charge of the army and rule an area. Are these people worthy of being my superiors? Bah! "
Shang Guoneng spat.
"Sure!"
"Sure!"
"Um!"
"look!"
In the distance, a group of cavalry is approaching.
They shouted and shook the swords in their hands.
Smoke and dust billowed behind him.
"What are they dragging?"
Those war horses dragged a bunch of things behind them, and as the war horses galloped, those things rolled up long plumes of smoke.
"It's a human head!"
The lieutenant's face turned pale.
"No need to look, it must be Wang Laoer!"
Shang Guoneng took a deep breath and said, "Ring the bell to inform the whole city that Yang Xuan is here!"
Clang clang clang!
The bell is ringing!
People ran home one after another.
Immediately, groups of sergeants began to patrol the city.
"Anyone who goes out without permission will be killed!"
Two human heads were picked up, bloody proof of the strictness of this rule.
Puff puff puff!
The sound of footsteps shook the ground.
"It's Yang Gou who's here!"
In one house, the male owner cursed: "That damn Yang Gou, I curse him to die a good death!"
He yelled and cursed, but found his wife kneeling on the ground praying, and listened carefully.
"Please pray for the blessing of the gods and let Yang Gou win!"
"What did you say?" the man was furious.
His wife looked up at him and said, "We are all suffering from these fightings. Besides, what if Yang Gou wins? To be honest, I still thought about migrating to northern Xinjiang!"
"***!"
Man raises his hand.
The wife sneered, "People from Neizhou and other places were moved to northern Xinjiang, and their lives are much better than ours now. There, the taxes are lower than those in Daliao, and there are no excessive taxes. Is this possible in Daliao?"
"But this is Daliao!"
"If Daliao can give me enough to eat, I will be loyal. Look at how thin these children have become. Whoever loves and is loyal to Daliao will go there, but I won't go!"
The wife lowered her head and said, "Please protect me from the gods and let that idiot Shang Guoneng die! I hope the whole family will go to Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
The man stood there and looked at his wife blankly.
"What's wrong with Daliao?"
Cangzhou.
"Yang Xuan's army went to Yanzhou anyway."
In the room, Lin Nan
Pointing at the map, he said: "Wang Laoer was just a feint."
"That's not a bad thing."
Governor Helian took a sip of tea and rubbed the bags under his eyes that had recently appeared. "I want to fight against Yanzhou because I don't want to take risks. I have thought about it for a long time. Yang Xuan used to love raids and take risks. It was not because of his temperament, but because he had no choice but to take risks."
for it.
In the past, he only had a few troops under his command, and faced mostly superior opponents. If he didn't take risks, he would fight face to face with gongs and drums, and even if he could win, his vitality would be severely damaged."
Lin Nan listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
"He is also forcing me to make a choice, whether to sit back and watch the fall of Yanzhou and wait for the decisive battle, or join the battle from the beginning. Once he joins the battle at this moment, Yang Xuan will have many ways to trigger the decisive battle in advance. Lao Lin, the Shegu people are making trouble, this
This is a good opportunity that Yang Xuan has been waiting for for a long time."
Governor Helian coughed dryly and shook his head in the face of Lin Nan's concerned gaze, "I'm fine. By attacking Yanzhou, isn't he throwing a difficult problem to me?"
Lin Nan said: "General, Yanzhou is not strong enough to resist Yang Xuan's army."
"I know that Shang Guoneng is related to the generals. He has the ability, but he is arrogant and pretentious. This is the fatal weakness of the generals.
I think the reason why Shangguo Neng can stick to Yanzhou is to make use of his pretentiousness. Only in this way can he be proactive. And I”
Governor Helian pointed to the three states on the map.
"How can I let Lin Ya watch?"
"What do you mean by the general, attacking Lin Ya?" Lin Nan smiled and said, "I'm just talking nonsense."
The person who dragged Lin Ya in at this time was an idiot!
Although Governor Helian relied on praising his late emperor and his current family, he had done a good job in using troops over the years.
"Prepare an army of 20,000, I will personally lead the attack and give Yang Xuan a flank!"
Governor Helian moved his fingers from the Yanzhou area to the Sanzhou area, "My sudden attack with thunderous force will inevitably cause Yang Xuan to worry about the flanks of the army. Then, Lao Lin.
He looked at Lin Nan, "You take 20,000 troops and raid Taoxian County from the side of the Three States! Remember, leave with one strike, don't delay."
"Take the order!" Lin Nan stood up and his eyes gradually became brighter, "Does the Duke want Yang Xuan to judge that it was Lin Jun who took the initiative?"
Governor Helian said: "I personally led the army to attack his flank, and Lin Jun led the army to attack Taoxian. How would Yang Xuanneng make a choice? He would be worried about Taoxian, and would attack Yanzhou while worrying that I was watching from the flank. He would be distracted.
.And at this moment, Lao Lin, you took the lead and suddenly turned to the right."
Governor Helian clenched his fist and punched the map hard.
"Lin Jun is attacking Taoxian. I am leading the army on the side. With your attack, Yang Xuan will either retreat or wait for the morale of the army to be scattered. When the time comes, I will launch a counterattack at the right time. The overall situation of this battle will be decided!
"
Lin Nan suddenly understood after hearing this, and then said sincerely: "The general has a good trick!"
Governor Helian said: "Ning Xing asked me to stick to it. This is because he wants to use cities to weaken the Northern Xinjiang army and turn Yanzhou and Cangzhou into a big mill, a flesh and blood mill. But how can I listen to such stupidity?
What's your plan? This series of attacks is to use offense instead of defense! Even if it fails, I can retreat calmly."
Lin Nan saluted, "Three methods were used one after another. Anyone else would be uneasy about it. The world says that the general's position is unfair, but now it seems that it is biased."
"Everyone in the world says that I must be shameless and incompetent if I rely on flattering the late emperor to get to the current position. But if you want to get high in Daliao, you either have to be of noble birth, or you have to kneel down.
I have ambitions, but I can only take the second path. I have been kneeling like this until today, and I got the opportunity to lead a side. This battle!"
Governor Helian's eyes were bright, "I want to use a big victory to vindicate myself!"
．
The army arrived in Yanzhou.
Yang Xuan then ordered his scouts to spread out on both wings to guard against enemy raids.
“Especially the Cangzhou line!”
The scouts set off, and Yang Xuan led his people to observe Puxiang City.
Jin Ying was brought in and introduced: "Shang Guoneng is a general, he is the most arrogant and pretentious, he even looks down on Governor Helian.
Yang Xuan said: "Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. This is often the case."
See. However, it is rare for a lower official to look down on a superior official."
Just like Liang Jing, how many officials in Chang'an looked down upon him?
But how many people dare to express such thoughts?
Beiliao!
Chaos abounds!
"Tell me about this person, Governor Helian."
"Du Helian was of mediocre origin and had difficulty getting promoted. Once the late emperor went hunting, and Du Helian went with him. After the hunt, the cook cooked a meal that the late emperor did not like, so Du Helian volunteered to roast the meat of the beast and offered it to him. He then flattered him, okay?
The late emperor is happy."
He Lianrong was a Northern Liaotong, and he was in a high position at the time, so his understanding of upper-class figures was not comparable to that of people like Jin Ying.
"Subsequently, Governor Helian was re-employed. He used troops well several times and became the emperor's confidant. After He Lianchun succeeded to the throne, Governor Helian immediately took refuge and was re-employed."
Yang Xuan thought of himself back then.
Without Wang's recommendation, he would not have been able to enter the Imperial Academy. Later, he would probably have to find a job in Chang'an to make a living. When Yi Niang and Cao Ying came, the three of them stared at each other. What's the point of asking for disobedience? Let's support ourselves first.
Let’s talk about it later.
"There is no shortage of talents in this world." Yang Xuan said to his subordinates: "What is lacking is the environment to discover talents and allow them to come forward."
"The Duke's words are very true." Han Ji's smile was as sweet as honey.
King Wei thought of the current situation in the court and felt that there was no place in Chang'an that attracted him.
The accompanying official whispered: "Your Majesty, Duke Qin's attitude is not right."
Damn!
How does this look like the posture of a hero?
King Wei said: "What posture do you think he should use?"
Official: "."
Does Yang Xuan still have to be respectful to Chang'an?
That's a bitch!
Chang'an has abused me thousands of times, but I treat Chang'an like my first love.
Yang Xuan looked at the city head carefully.
Puxiang City is not big, but it is very solid, and traces of recent renovations can be seen everywhere.
The garrison at the top of the city is densely packed, and bed crossbows can be seen.
"It seems that we are well prepared."
Yang Xuan immediately withdrew to the camp.
"The city of Puxiang is strong, and there is no shortage of materials and manpower in the city. If you want to break the city, you must rely on bravery and grinding!"
Yang Xuan said: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone was silent.
This is a competition of strength.
"In this way, the army will rest for two days, and on the third day, attack the city!"
After Yang Xuan led the army to the expedition, the Northern Xinjiang army that stayed behind mainly focused on the south, that is, to beware of Chang'an raids.
Secondly, there is Lin Jun’s department.
"If there was no threat from Chang'an, we would be able to raise troops at this moment and overwhelm the three states!"
In Jiedushi's house, Song Zhen scolded: "What a bastard, I only know how to hold you back. I don't know how Emperor Wu could tolerate his family back then!"
Luo Cai said faintly: "You know people but don't know their hearts. When Emperor Wu was here, the reputation of the Supreme Emperor was extremely good. He was so kind that people worried that he would become an emperor toyed with by his officials after he succeeded to the throne.
Who would have thought that as soon as he ascended the throne, he would reveal his murderous intentions and clean up Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu without mercy, as well as the people who respected the emperor. It seemed that there was no blood in Chang'an, but how many people died on the way to exile?
Jingtai frequently traveled to Chang'an in those years, and every time he went out, there were always fewer officials. Now that he has ascended the throne, he has become more fierce and has joined forces with Yang Songcheng. I was almost there back then!"
"Lao Luo, you are a minister approved by Emperor Wu. How did you escape back then?" Song Zhen was very interested.
Luo Cai was a little awkward.
Liu Qing also joined Song Zhen, "There are only three of us here, there is no risk of leakage, let's talk.
Luo Cai said: "The Emperor Wu once rewarded me with a few words."
"What word?"
"My butt!"
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, the first thing he wanted to do was to capture Luo Cai, but Luo Cai hung this picture on the front of his room.
Come on!
As Emperor Wu said, I am a loyal minister!
Your mother-in-law keeps saying filial piety, come on, tear up your mother-in-law’s paper.
"Ahem!
"
Liu Qing changed the subject, "By the way, the first battle on the Duke's side should begin, right?"
Song Zhen made the calculation, "The army will have to rest for a few days before arriving, and scouts will be sent to the surrounding areas to detect the enemy's situation before they can attack the city. Now it's time to attack the city for a few days."
"I hope everything goes well in this battle!" Luo Cai said almost like a prayer.
It suddenly became noisy outside, and footsteps came thickly.
Liu Qing's expression changed drastically, and then he regained his composure. "But the battle report is here? Come in, don't yell outside!"
A general came in, but he was guarding the city.
"Liu Sima, enemy attack!"
After a long time, the county seat of Taoxian County once again welcomed the enemy.
Liu Qing led people to the top of the city. Nan He, who was left behind, pointed to the front right and said: "The scouts encountered an enemy force coming from Taizhou. There are countless people and horses."
"Is Lin Jun trying to take risks?" Song Zhen sneered, "The Duke's army is outside. After this battle, the Duke will definitely turn around and destroy the three states. He wants to strike first, how brave!"
Liu Qing said: "We are on alert. After we find out the number of enemy troops, we will inform the Duke."
"The Duke has scouts staying nearby." Nan He felt a little embarrassed.
He added: "It's not that we don't trust him, it's just that this battle is too important."
Yang Xuan actually left scouts behind the army. Who was he guarding against?
Liu Qing said happily: "Okay!"
Luo Cai also stroked his beard and smiled: "Excellent!"
Song Zhen said: "The Duke is wise!"
From a military perspective, Nan He felt that Yang Guogong was distrustful of the three bosses, but from a rebellious perspective, the three bosses felt that Yang Guogong's move was the work of a wise king.
If there is no leakage, then you are the emperor!
"The enemy is coming!"
A dense mass of enemy troops appeared in front.
"Twenty thousand!"
Nan He said: "I don't know if there is a large group of people behind me, 20,000. It's nothing to be afraid of!"
The army is attacking Puxiang City.
Suoyun's death camp has expanded, and now it is in the front. Under the cover of trebuchets and ballistas, it launches a frantic attack on the city head.
"good!"
Yang Xuan watched the battle situation in the Chinese army and was very satisfied.
"This battle cannot be rushed, fight slowly and steadily!"
That's what it means to be upright and upright.
He wants to use this battle to completely defeat the confidence of the Beiliao people!
Afterwards, chaos will inevitably arise within Beiliao.
Changling
He thought of that woman.
How can Changling protect itself in the face of internal chaos?
"Duke!"
A group of scouts came from behind.
"My lord, 20,000 Taizhou cavalry are raiding Taoxian County!"
"What a Lin Jun!" Yang Xuan sneered.
"My lord, please give me orders!" Pei Jian asked for orders to attack.
"Don't worry, Nan He is here!" Yang Xuan was thinking about this.
"Duke!"
The flanking scouts came to report.
"The enemy troops from Cangzhou are coming, and the leader is Governor Helian!"
