As autumn turns to winter, approaching the beginning of winter, a large army is marching forward.
At the head were the scouts, and teams of scouts were shouting and going back and forth, passing on the news from the front.
"Yo ho!"
The scouts showed off their superb riding skills.
This is not to show off, but to enliven the atmosphere before the war.
When the large group of cavalry officers were supporting each other, their aura became much more vigorous. Such 'frivolous' things were impossible to do.
A group of scouts galloped towards the north.
"quick!"
They found a troop of cavalry.
"Surround them."
The scouts are very bold. Even if their numbers are about the same, they still dare to spread out and actively surround their opponents.
This is the self-confidence that comes with winning many times.
Ta-ta-ta!
The cavalry gradually approached.
"Fuck! One of our own!"
Those who came were the scouts from Nangui City.
"Go back!"
The scout of the army waved his hands and smiled evilly.
"I was ordered to see the Duke!"
The person leading the team here is a school captain.
Then he followed the scouts to find the army.
Along the way, I kept encountering scouts. When I saw them, I would approach them with vigilance and ask for their identities.
"As expected, it is the Duke who leads the army. This solemnity makes people awe-inspiring."
The captain praised.
"Coming!"
Everyone reined in their horses.
A black line appeared ahead.
Then, the black lines continued to spread.
The cavalry roared and came in force.
Groups of cavalry passed by them.
When the Chinese army appeared, the captain dismounted.
Kneel down on one knee and say, "I have been ordered to see the Duke."
Under the banner, Yang Xuan received the news, "Let him come."
"yes!"
The accompanying young official rode over and said, "Follow me."
"Take orders!"
The captain lowered his head slightly and followed the clerk to the side of the banner.
"What's the matter?"
a gentle voice asked.
The captain raised his head and saw Yang Xuan riding his horse under the banner. His eyes were deep and unyielding, so he couldn't help but lower his head.
"Zhen Sima ordered his subordinates to report to the Duke that the enemy's cavalry raided Nangui City. The subordinates set a trap and killed more than 400 enemies in one fell swoop, killing the enemy generals. The subordinate Zhen Siwen is willing to bring justice to the country!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When the captain heard the loud laughter, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.
Then, I heard the Duke say: "Sven, he is full of courage!"
Yang Xuan ordered: "Send a message to the entire army."
Before the army arrived, Zhen Siwen ambushed and destroyed a group of enemy rangers. This was an excellent start.
The army kept moving forward.
When they saw Nangui City, someone came to report: "My lord, Zhen Sima is waiting in front to greet you."
The army in front moved out of the way.
Yang Xuan slowly rode out.
Zhen Siwen led the civil and military officials of Nangui City to stand respectfully in front.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he looked up.
"Duke!"
Zhen Siwen couldn't help but choked up when she saw Yang Xuan.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm going to lower my official rank..."
Yang Xuan would think it was fake when others choked like this. But Zhen Siwen was different. This guy was Yang Xuan's confidant who was single-handedly promoted and loyal to Yang Xuan.
"I'm very pleased to hear that you are constantly fighting with Neizhou in Nangui City and growing up very quickly."
Yang Xuan dismounted.
Zhen Siwen came over and actually... actually went to help him hold the horse.
Being polite is good in everything, but you can't let go of your officialdom habits.
Yang Xuan also let him do it.
"Talk about it."
Yang Xuan nodded slightly to the officials and generals.
Zhen Siwen said: "After receiving the news that the Duke was going to attack Neizhou, I ordered the scouts to attack frequently to find out the news everywhere in Neizhou, and even concealed the enemy's scouts."
The most important thing before the war is the scout war.
Whoever can win the scout battle will have the upper hand.
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle."
Yang Xuan was very satisfied.
His career is expanding, and he needs more generals and civil servants who can take charge of their own affairs.
The best thing is to be versatile in both civil and military affairs.
"I hesitated when I asked you to guard Nangui City. Now it seems that this decision was right."
Yang Xuan was very happy.
"They are all valued by the Duke."
Zhen Siwen whispered what happened next.
"After destroying the enemy's rangers, some enemy scouts came one after another, but no large-scale rangers appeared again."
"Xiao Hongde knows that the army is not far away. At this time, he sends his rangers to attack. He must either bypass Nangui City from a distance, or he must be careful about being cut off by Nangui City..."
"When the Duke took Nangui City, it seems that he was extremely wise."
Seeing his flattering smile, Yang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "You are now considered an important minister in charge of your own affairs, why are you still thinking about flattering others?"
Zhen Siwen was startled, and then said: "When I see the Duke of the country, I can't help but want to please him."
This person is upright... Han Ji's cheeks twitched, but he felt that this kind of people were blessed.
As he said that, Zhen Siwen smiled at him, looking particularly solemn.
As expected, he only flatters the boss.
Talent!
After entering the city, the people in the city welcomed him.
"Duke!"
Yang Xuan smiled and waved.
Someone shouted: "My lord, where are you attacking this time?"
Yang Xuan didn't hide it, "Neizhou!"
All the way to the official residence, Yang Xuan sat at the top and ordered: "Second brother."
"exist!"
Wang Laoer stood up and inexplicably thought of the woman in the prison.
"You lead the scouts to attack, show off your strength, and find out the news."
"Take orders!"
Wang Laoer went out.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Take a break for three days."
Everyone agreed.
Then dispersed.
Han Ji didn't leave.
"My lord, should we seize all Neizhou in this battle, or..."
Yang Xuan said: "Xiao Hongde is a veteran general. After learning the news that I was leading my army, he did not take the initiative to attack, but stood firm. This was his attitude. He was telling me that if he wanted to capture Neizhou, he had to
Be prepared for mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Is he worthy?"
Yang Xuan said contemptuously: "Defending the city is the most taboo, it will have a huge impact on morale. When hundreds of rangers were destroyed, he should have sent out all his troops, surrounded Nangui City, and shocked Zhen Siwen..."
"Zhen Siwen may go crazy." Han Ji said with a smile.
Zhen Siwen couldn't find any rules in using his troops, and even Yang Xuan was a little confused about this.
"That's why I didn't send the army directly to the city to show off their strength. There's no need."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Lang Jun is a famous general in the world. Xiao Hongde has been defeated at the hands of the Duke several times. How can he dare to take risks?"
At this time Helianyan came in.
"Taoxian Jinyi Guards reported secretly that after our army was dispatched, the Jingtai Zhuzhu in Taoxian County rushed to Chang'an."
"This is to report a message." Han Ji said sadly: "Lang Jun led the army to attack and expand the territory, but he did not communicate with Chang'an. I think the man in the Liyuan will be furious again."
"I hope he doesn't get mad to death!"
Yang Xuan said.
Han Ji smiled, "Of course he won't die. Otherwise, who will Lang Jun look for in the future?"
The hatred of the emperor must fall on the false emperor.
Helianyan felt a little confused after hearing this. After going out, she kept waiting for Han Ji to come out.
The two belong to a small group within Yang Xuan's system, but because Han Ji is the counselor and He Lianyan is in charge of the Jin Yiwei, they dare not get too close.
"What do you mean?" He Lianyan asked.
People were coming and going on the street, mostly civilians and soldiers.
"It's so exciting! I can live like this for the rest of my life!"
Han Ji's eyes were burning.
"Old Han!"
He Lianyan sneered, "Have you learned to be reserved? Be careful, I have people staring at you. I will look back to find out why you raised a woman and hand it to your wife."
Han Ji glanced at her and said, "I can't raise another woman."
"Why?"
"My heart is right."
He Lianyan chuckled.
"why are you laughing?"
"I feel it's not that the heart is upright, but that the heart is full but the strength is insufficient."
Han Ji coughed dryly and said, "You will know many things when it's time for you to know them. Remember, don't ask."
Helianyan became more and more curious.
Why does Lang Jun never show respect when he mentions the emperor, even if it is false?
This question has been lingering in her mind.
"Yan'er."
The wind was a bit strong, so Jiang Heer walked over in a hurry, holding the paperwork in one hand and pressing his hair in the other.
"Why are you in a daze?"
He Lianyan shook his head, "I'm just tired. By the way, where have you been?"
Jiang Heer said with a smile: "Mr. Lang asked me to sort out all the documents and report them to him after reading them."
"This is important."
He Lianyan looked at Jiang He'er with some envy, "Be good and don't get into trouble."
"Where?"
Jiang Heer is full of confidence.
He Lianyan suddenly asked: "Sleep together tonight?"
"Bah! Don't even think about it!"
Jiang He'er went in, and Helian Yan smiled, then lifted up his cloak and led his men outside the city.
Outside the city, scouts came in and out from time to time, and there were also people...
"From today on, no one is allowed in or out!"
The defender said with a straight face.
"But it's getting colder today, and we need to collect firewood!"
A woodcutter said dissatisfied: "This is how we live. If we don't leave the city, who will feed us?"
After a dispute, someone went to ask Yang Xuan for instructions. When he came back, he said: "The Duke said that the army is attacking openly and openly, and there is no need to put the people in trouble in order to guard against enemy spies. Strengthen verification, and those who should go out can come and go freely."
As soon as these words came out, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was incredibly high.
Helianyan was a little curious and happened to see two officials whispering about this matter in the city gate, so he listened attentively.
"Just a few dozen woodcutters, and the city will give them some rice every day."
"This is not just about rice."
"Oh! I would like to hear the details."
"Before the war, if the general is nervous, his subordinates will also feel unsure. Dozens of woodcutters will just rush back. But the Duke says he can come and go freely... What does this mean?"
"..."
"This shows that the Duke is very confident in this battle. The general is very confident, what will happen to his soldiers?"
"Hey! The Duke remained calm and used this incident to boost the morale of the army. How wonderful!"
He Lianyan thought of the first time she met Yang Xuan.
At that time, Yang Xuan was still struggling to survive under the pressure of the three major ministries and the emperor's uncle. Faced with the emperor's uncle's request, even if it was rude, he could only agree.
Time passed by, the emperor's uncle became the emperor, but Yang Xuan became his biggest enemy.
So fast!
He Lianyan sighed sincerely.
That young man became the Lord of Northern Xinjiang in a blink of an eye, and now he has become an all-powerful figure.
She suddenly thought of the heroes of the world.
Sun Shi of the Southern Zhou Dynasty launched the New Deal with great perseverance and was considered a hero.
What about Beiliao?
It seems not!
There is one, Princess Changling.
What about Datang?
The rise of Shi Zhongtang in southern Xinjiang can be called a comet. From a foreign general to a deputy envoy of Jiedu who can compete with Zhang Chumao, Shang Guogong, this experience can be called a legend.
However, Shi Zhongtang could not get rid of Xingjin's hat...without the status of a noble concubine and adopted son, he would not be able to climb to the heights he is today.
Therefore, everyone says this person is shameless.
It seems that only Yang Guogong is a true hero.
He Lianyan suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that Lang Jun is the most dazzling!"
Several riders rushed into the city, and after seeing Helian Yan, they reined in their horses together.
He is from Jinyiwei.
Everyone dismounted, and a guard in brocade clothes came forward, "I've seen the commander."
"explain."
He Lianyan stood with his hands behind his back.
"Yesterday, the guard of Jianshui City, Jin Xun, suddenly raided the city. Three of our brothers in the city were captured while covering one of them..."
A man with a shoulder injury from behind came forward and said, "I've seen the commander."
He Lianyan asked: "Is there anything found in the city?"
The man said: "There are three thousand defenders in the city. In addition, Jin Xun mobilized a lot of people. There is no shortage of materials to defend the city..."
"How's the morale?" He Lianyan asked.
"Jin Xun rewarded his subordinates with a lot of wine and meat, and their morale was high."
He Lianyan knew it well, "You go and have a rest. By the way, where are the two brothers?"
The man lowered his head, "I don't know."
Ta-ta-ta!
A team of scouts has returned.
"Commander Helian!"
The leader of the team looked solemn.
"What's the matter?" He Lianyan raised her head.
The team handed over their hands, "There are two corpses hanging at the top of Jianshui City. The defenders in the city shouted that these are secret spies of our army. After being tortured, they confessed many things and were hanged... My condolences!"
Helianyan smiled, "Thank you."
Her hands behind her back were clasped.
The escaped Jinyiwei spy lowered his head and shed tears.
"Commander, they won't tell!"
"I know." He Lianyan nodded.
The spy raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "Commander, this villain wants to join the army and fight to avenge them!"
"You don't need to."
He Lianyan went to ask to see Yang Xuan.
"I was captured and executed for covering my brother..."
Yang Xuan knew the result after just a brief thought, "They didn't tell me, otherwise two traitorous spies would have more impact than two corpses. Those two brothers... I know."
He Lianyan walked out of the official house.
The spy was squatting outside, and when he saw her coming out, he quickly got up.
"go back!"
Helianyan said.
Stall: "Commander..."
"Jin Xun, you are dead!"
Immediately, Yang Xuan's order came from the official residence.
"Three days later, the entire army will attack and arrive to build Shuicheng!"
…
Three days later.
Jin Xun, the guard of Jianshui City, stood on the top of the city, looked at the Northern Xinjiang Rangers appearing in the distance, and said: "Yang Dog is coming, boys and men, shout!"
The soldiers at the top of the city shouted in unison.
"Yang Gou, are you here to die?"
"Yang Gou..."
Thousands of cavalry roared in.
Then came the Chinese army.
The Chinese army is mighty.
Under the banner, Yang Xuan heard shouts and curses.
"Yang Gou, are you here to die?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jin Xun laughed, and then said: "Let's stay here and wait carefully in Chengyang City. Yang Gou will definitely not be able to go all out... We only need to hold on for half a month, the weather turns cold, and Yang Gou must retreat. Sons, attack
Whose is the first skill of retreating Yanggu?"
"I build a water city!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing the high morale of his subordinates, Jin Xun couldn't help laughing loudly.
Xiao Hongde will not stay in Neizhou for long. This is his judgment... Lin Ya's brother-in-law cannot stay in such a dangerous place for a long time.
After this battle, Xiao Hongde will definitely leave, so there will be many vacancies.
Jin Xun didn't ask for the position of governor of Neizhou, and he couldn't get it, but he wanted to go further and go to Ningxing Military Department.
His backstage said that it only takes one meritorious service to speak for him.
This time, the merit is right in front of you.
The flag slowly moved towards the city.
Jin Xun thought about the happy place, and felt that his spirit was extremely high. He couldn't help but pointed at Yang Xuan under the banner and shouted: "Yang Gou, are you here to die?"
There was a burst of laughter at the top of the city.
Under the banner, Yang Xuan spoke.
Somehow, both the city and the army fell silent.
Even the neighing of the war horses was much quieter.
It was as if the whole world was waiting for him to speak.
Yang Xuan saw the two corpses.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Jin Xun, damn it!"
Instantly, Jin Xun's face turned pale.
