In the small town, Zhe Yuxun seemed to be unaware of the danger and was educating his son. In the temporary tent in the city gate building, Zhe Yuxun and his son Zhe Weichang were sitting opposite each other, both wearing casual clothes, playing chess together.
Yuxun holds white, Zheweichang holds black.
"Bah~" One of Zhe Yuxun's pieces fell and killed Zhe Weichang's second piece with murderous intent. While picking up the pieces, he asked: "Sanlang, my father is asking you, what will happen if Li Jiqian fails to attack this place for a long time?"
"Zhe Weichang was just about to make a move when he heard his father's question. He pondered for a moment and said, "Li Jiqian is a cunning and cunning man. He is a master who only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses.
I have been fighting here for half a month now, but I have not achieved any success, and I have not gained any advantage by invading Linzhou. I thought he would plan a big conspiracy against us." Zhe Yuxun nodded and said, "Then
Guess what the conspiracy could be?" Zhe Weichang frowned and guessed patiently. After a while, he muttered in a low voice, "Li Jiqian will definitely refuse to retreat... and he can't do anything to us..."
Zhe Weichang suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "He may jump over the wall in a hurry, and he is very likely to jump to Fuzhou and attack our base camp." Zhe Yuxun nodded with satisfaction and praised. "Not bad, not bad.
He has some wisdom."
At this moment, a spy entered the city gate building and reported in a deep voice: "Inform Commander Zhe, the enemy is gathering troops. Judging from the scale, the number should be around 50,000. The intention is unknown." Zhe Yuxun said.
He waved his hand and said: "You go down first." Zhe Yuxun looked calm, but Zhe Weichang was anxious. "Dad, are they really going to attack Fuzhou? You should think of a way quickly. Once they are allowed in,
If you lose Fuzhou, it will be over."
"Hahaha..." Zhe Yuxun laughed loudly and said: "Dad has been friends with Dangxiang people for half his life, and he knows Dangxiang people better than you. Once Dangxiang people enter Fuzhou, then my family's century-old family business will be lost.
But it will be destroyed in one day." Zhe Weichang shouted anxiously: "Then why don't you think of a way quickly?"
Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "No hurry, no rush..." "Why don't you be in a hurry! My ancestors and sisters are all at home." Zhe Weichang wished he could get his wings and fly back to Fuzhou now. Zhe Yuxun
Squinting his eyes, he said cheerfully: "You brat, you underestimate my father, don't you? Since my father has decided to fight with Li Jiqian, then everything that should have been settled has been over."
Zhe Yuxun no longer whetted his son's appetite, he told the whole story, "Before I sent out the army, my father was on guard against Li Jiqian jumping over the wall in a hurry. At the intersection of Fuzhou, Linzhou and Dangxiang, Dalang had already led a group of troops.
Tens of thousands of family troops and 20,000 rural soldiers were waiting for them.
In terms of bravery, Dalang is not as good as Erlang. But in terms of his ability to defend the city and defend the territory, Dalang is the leader in our family. Although I look down on Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao's ability to defend the village city is second to none. Dalang's
I learned half of my skills from Yang Yanzhao. In addition, I also arranged a surprise army.
Hey hey hey... As long as this strange army seizes the right opportunity, it will definitely give Li Jiqian a big surprise." Zhe Weichang was surprised and happy when he heard this. With his elder brother Zhe Weizheng taking action, he dare not say that he defeated the foreign enemies who invaded Fuzhou, at least
It can ensure that the enemy cannot advance even an inch. He scratched his head and wondered what his father's special weapon was.
After guessing for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what this cavalry was, so he decisively asked Zhe Yuxun. "Dad, what is this strange troop you deployed?" Zhe Yuxun said mysteriously: "Time
It's almost there, it's just this day. You will know..." As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. It was because of Zhe Yuxun's words that Zhe Weichang was absent-minded all day long...
Not to mention Zhe Weichang who was scratching his head in the small town. Speaking of Li Deming alone, after ordering 50,000 cavalry, he attacked Fuzhou in a mighty manner. At the junction of Fuzhou, Fengzhou and Dangxiang, there was a place where they must
The place we passed through was called Yamawang Ridge. The terrain of Yamawang Ridge was special and very suitable for an ambush. After Li Deming led his troops and horses to arrive, they plunged in without thinking. Li Deming did not think there was an ambush here.
The Dangxiang cavalry's sneak attack on Fuzhou was just a spur-of-the-moment move. He didn't think anyone could even predict the spur-of-the-moment move. On the Yama Ridge, next to a huge strange stone, Zhe Weizheng, who was tall and dressed in Confucian attire, saw the enemy.
The military company plunged into the back of Yama Mountain without any investigation, and the corners of its mouth twitched violently.
"In the past, people always said that I was rigid and stupid, but today I met someone even more stupid." After leaving these words, he never looked at the battle situation again and asked his personal followers who had been following him to accompany him.
They went down to the Yama Ridge together. He felt that there was nothing interesting to see. He spent fifteen days, using 30,000 soldiers, 20,000 civilians, and 50,000 people to set up traps in the Yama Ridge day and night.
, turning a mountain of hell into a gate of hell.
If this still allows someone to break through the Yama Ridge and enter Fuzhou, then he might as well hit him to death. The fighting at the Yama Ridge lasted for five hours. In the end, there were only 3,000 people escorting Li Deming from inside.
After they escaped from Yama Ridge, they did not dare to look back and kept running towards Li Jiqian's camp. However, the chief officer of Yama Ridge, Zhe Weizheng, had no intention of pursuing them.
Because he is not good at it. He is a cautious person and never touches what he is not good at. This is related to the master Yang Ye who once taught the art of war. The Yang family's art of war mainly lies in the two words 'fire',
Shan'. The word volcano in the Volcano Army comes from the Yang family's art of war. This 'fire' refers to invasion like fire, which is unstoppable.
The word "mountain" means that it is as immovable as a mountain and as solid as a rock. Hearing his daughter's hoarse cries, Li Jiqian's head buzzed loudly. Being able to force his daughter to come from Dangxiang's ancestral land to report the news shows that Dangxiang's ancestral land
Something happened. Li Jiqian dropped the whip in his hand, walked tremblingly in front of his daughter, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother Qi, what happened?"
Brother Li Qi burst into tears and said: "Three days ago, ten thousand soldiers of the Zhe family, led by Zhe Weixin, made a surprise attack on Eagle Fort. They took away all the cattle, sheep and horses of our tribe. Even those that could not be taken away, they all
They killed me." Li Jiqian's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and his whole body began to stiffen. After a while, he roared out a desperate voice. "Zhe Yuxun, you are so cruel." "Pfft~" Immediately, Li Jiqian spurted out
With a mouthful of blood, he fell straight to the ground and fainted.
"Father..." "My Lord..."
Li Deming and a group of leaders quickly rushed forward, lifted Li Jiqian, and sent him into the Chinese army's tent. The witch doctor accompanying the army was replaced. The witch doctor worked for a long time, bleeding and treating Li Jiqian, but he still disappeared.
Wake up. In the big tent, all the leaders subconsciously looked at Li Deming. Li Deming knelt in front of Li Jiqian's bed and cried softly: "Retreat..." As if they had been granted amnesty, all the leaders quickly exited the tent one by one.
.They were eager to return home, and they wanted to go quickly to see if their tribe had suffered.
In the big tent, Li Deming held the hand of the unconscious Li Jiqian and whispered in a tearful voice: "Father, now that things have come to a point, we can only return the party items to quickly recover the losses. The clansmen have already lost their cattle, sheep and horses.
If our pasture is robbed by other tribes again, I'm afraid the tribesmen will vote for others.
Don't worry, father, the child will definitely remember the hatred the Zhe family has given to our Li family. Sooner or later, the child will make the Zhe family pay the price." At the end of the sentence, Li Deming's face became ferocious and filled with hatred...
On the city wall of the small city, the spies of the Zhe family army entered the city gate building with bright faces and excitedly reported: "Commander Zhe, Li Jiqian has withdrawn his troops." Zhe Yuxun stood in front of a newly drawn map with his hands behind his back.
.The map includes the five counties of Fuzhou, Linzhou and Yinzhou. From now on, these places will be the territory of the Zhe family.
The Zhe family's territory suddenly expanded nearly twice. After hearing the spies' report, Zhe Yuxun smiled knowingly and said: "It's expected. As soon as Li Jiqian retreats, we have to quickly restore Linzhou's territory."
Vitality. After successive battles, Linzhou has been beaten to the point of losing its appearance." Zhe Weichang shouted in surprise: "Li Jiqian actually retreated?"
He couldn't wait to get closer to Zhe Yuxun and asked eagerly: "Dad, please tell me, what clever trick did you use to force Li Jiqian to withdraw his troops?" Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "Brilliant trick?
It's not really a clever plan. My father just asked Erlang to lead 10,000 troops and go to Dangxiang's ancestral land when he was confronting Li Jiqian."
Zhe Weichang was shocked and said: "Dad, you really have a plan. My second brother must have gained a lot in Dangxiang's ancestral land." Zhe Yuxun laughed loudly and said: "From now on, Linzhou belongs to our Zhe family.
According to my order, all the soldiers who participated in the war will be promoted to one level. At the same time, they will receive three months more pay as a reward.
The five counties of Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Yinzhou were ordered to select fine troops and expand them into the army. The number of my Zhejia army has been expanded from the previous 60,000 to 100,000." At this time, inside the city gate building,
There are also many generals who have joined the army. After hearing Zhe Yuxun's order, they were all happy. Whether it is an official promotion or an army expansion of 40,000, it is a great thing for them. This means
, their room for progress will become greater, and their official positions and salaries will also rise with the tide.
On the contrary, they did not value the bonus of three months' salary so much. After everything was settled, Zhe Yuxun looked in the direction of Fengzhou and said with emotion: "I don't know what the situation of that boy Yang Dezheng is at the moment?
"...
Zhe Yuxun's worries are justified. Yang Dezheng's life is not easy at all. At this moment, he is leading his men and horses, being chased like rats crossing the street. Yang Dezheng is forced to lead a thousand men under his command.
The men and horses lived in the open air every day, hiding in various places. In the mountains and forests located more than 200 miles away from Fengzhou City, Yang Dezheng, like quails, led the soldiers of the Renaissance Army under his command, hiding quietly in a ravine.
After several days of fleeing, Yang Dezheng looked particularly embarrassed. At this moment, he was lying on a big rock with disheveled hair and an imageless body, breathing heavily. "Huhuhu~" beside him, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army
They also walked in a circle without any image. Only Fan Long, as if nothing had happened, hugged his own King Yu, leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yang Dezheng looked up to the sky and sighed, "What are you talking about? A group of heartless people went out to mess around. When they were done, they patted their butts and ran away. I was left here to suffer for them." Fan Long didn't even raise his eyelids.
, opened his mouth slightly and spit out one word. "That's right."
The Fuxing Army soldiers lying next to Yang Dezheng seemed to find this incident very funny and laughed heartily. Yang Dezheng sat up angrily and cursed: "Don't laugh, you heartless people. In order to save you,
I suffered so much and you still laugh."
"Hahaha..." Having been with Yang Dezheng for a long time, these soldiers of the Renaissance Army had somewhat grasped some of Yang Dezheng's temper. So when Yang Dezheng was angry, instead of being scared, they laughed even more.
Loudly. They all knew in their hearts that Yang Dezheng was just annoyed now, not really angry.
Fan Long opened his eyes, looked at Yang Qi, and said coldly: "If you had asked everyone to evacuate to Daizhou, there wouldn't have been so many things. It's because of your own lack of heart and greed for Fengzhou that you ended up where you are today.
"It's totally deserved." Fan Long is straightforward, but that doesn't mean he is stupid. These days, he has been with Yang Dezheng for a long time, and he has more or less figured out some of Yang Dezheng's thoughts.
Yang Dezheng was angrily preparing to retort, but then Fan Long said again: "It was you who dispersed them and sent them out, and it was you who gave them the order to try their best to harass the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe. Now.
They did what you asked, so what do you have to complain about?" Yang Dezheng retorted angrily: "I gave the order, but they are too unscrupulous, aren't they? They are all bold and do whatever they want. They
Why do you have so much brains? You don't want to waste the good cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, but they go out to capture the thieves and capture the king first.
It took me three days to sneak into Fengzhou City and kill the young son of a wild beggar. This made them angry. They also set their sights on me. With an army of 60,000, nothing happened.
Come on, people are arresting me all over the country. I didn't do anything, so why should I take the blame for them?" In fact, Yang Dezheng's anger is justified.
Yang Dezheng divided the Fuxing Army into a hundred groups and asked them to fight individually to wear down the power of the Yeqi tribe. Who knew that these guys under his command were so bold that they neglected the main business. When their heads were hot, they would do it.
The youngest son of Ye Beggar Ganbo has gone.
And it actually worked. Then, as soon as the other brigades heard about this, they began to follow suit and went to torment Ye Qiganbo. In the end, Ye Qiganbo was not killed, but was killed by Ye Qiganbo.
More than 600 people were killed. If Yang Dezheng hadn't found out about it, he quickly issued an order to stop it.
I'm afraid more people will fall in. Of course, he was annoyed. Yang Dezheng was actually quite excited. He didn't expect that he would completely loosen the military law that bound the Fuxing Army and let them do whatever they wanted.
It's surprising that so many results have been achieved. According to the information Yang Dezheng received, the current results are not just the killing of Yeqi Ganbo's youngest son.
In addition, the sneak attacks by the Renaissance Army squads also caused considerable harm to the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe. So far, nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Yeqi tribe have been killed directly and indirectly. Of course.
, Yang Dezheng also knew that at the beginning, the Yeqi tribe was unprepared, and only by being attacked by them could they achieve significant results.
As the Yeqi tribe's defense gradually strengthens, their sneak attacks will become much more difficult. After the Yeqi tribe lost a young master and more than 10,000 cavalry, the furious Yeqi Ganbo seemed to have
He wanted to try the method of capturing the thief first and capture the king first. Therefore, after he found out the whereabouts of Yang Dezheng, he dispatched 40,000 cavalry from the Yeqi tribe and 20,000 local soldiers and horses from Fengzhou to encircle and suppress Yang Dezheng.
After handing over troops and horses at the junction of Fengzhou and Daizhou, Yang Dezheng, who had just entered Fengzhou and was preparing to cause trouble, was surrounded and suppressed by the army before he started to cause trouble. Yang Dezheng could only lead the Renaissance Army soldiers under his command.
They were hiding in Tibet. Every time he thought of himself becoming the scapegoat, Yang Dezheng felt a little aggrieved. "No, we must find a way to reverse the current decline."
Yang Dezheng sat up straight and said solemnly. Fan Long heard this and squinted his eyes and asked: "Are you ready to reverse the current decline?" Yang Dezheng pondered: "What do you think of the night raid? Pick a dark and windy night.
."
Fan Long frowned and asked: "What kind of surprise attack?" Yang Dezheng said: "There are two groups of soldiers encircling and suppressing us. Do you think it is possible to set up a game and let them kill each other?" Fan Long shook his head and said: "
This is difficult. Moreover, the party's cavalry will not move at all after night unless there are special circumstances. They seem to be afraid of sneak attacks, so they become very cautious after nightfall."
Yang Dezheng said happily: "You also said that they will not move unless there are special circumstances. Then let's find a way to create some special circumstances for them?" Fan Long was a little moved when he heard this, and asked
"Tell me, what do you think?" Yang Dezheng said with a smile: "They have been chasing us for so long, and we have figured out their way of advancing. So, what I mean is, pick a month where the weather is dark and the wind is high.
At night, you lead a group of men and horses, and I will lead a group of men and horses. We will launch a surprise attack on their infantry and cavalry respectively.
Then, we lead them by the nose and spin them around to knock them unconscious. At that time, we will lead them to a place and quietly start a fight. Then we quickly retreat. By the time they react, the cavalry will probably have charged and killed them.
It's been a round." Most of the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe are light cavalry and are very mobile. Therefore, the tactics mentioned by Yang Dezheng are indeed true.
Fan Long stayed with Yang Dezheng for just a few days, and he began to think according to Yang Dezheng's thinking model under Yang Dezheng's inspiration. Although he had not learned any art of war, he was good at retreating into battle situations. Yang Dezheng's
He deduced the theory and felt that it was extremely feasible. "Then give it a try."
Fan Long didn't like being chased either. After the two hit it off, they got together and started discussing the specific details...
Just when Yang Dezheng and Fan Long began to conspire, Guo Da, who was far away on the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou, also began to plan his own conspiracy. Although Guo Da was Han, his military tent was filled with a strong sense of Liao influence.
Guo Da has been ambushing the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou for nearly ten days. During this period, he has been detecting the military situation in Fengzhou.
In Guo Da's tent, there was a huge animal skin map. The directions of various places on the map were described in great detail. It took more than ten days for Guo Da to almost grasp the deployment of troops in Fengzhou.
Eighty-eight. When the Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng began to sneak attack the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe, the entire war situation in Fengzhou fell into a stalemate. Almost all the troops in Fengzhou were restrained by the Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng
Already.
This allowed Guo Da to see an opportunity. "Capture Fengzhou and recruit the Renaissance Army." Guo Da saw the opportunity and made such an assertion. What Guo Da is most worried about now is not whether he can capture Fengzhou. What he is most worried about is
What he wanted to know was how to hold Fengzhou after taking it. According to the information he received, in addition to the 60,000 cavalry of the Yeqi tribe around Fengzhou, there were also Li Jiqian's cavalry at the junction of Fengzhou, Linzhou and Dangxiang.
One hundred thousand cavalry. If he captured Fengzhou and Li Jiqian gave up attacking Linzhou and attacked Fengzhou instead, he might not be Li Jiqian's opponent.
At that time, it would be a waste of money. As for the 20,000 Datong troops and the 10,000 imperial troops hoarded near the junction of Fengzhou, Shengzhou and Daizhou, Guo Da was not worried. Because he
I know it very well.
According to the current military regulations of the Song Dynasty, border generals are not allowed to attack without permission from the court and can only defend passively. Once they attack without authorization, the liability is quite serious. "General." A messenger entered Guo Da
In his tent, he held a letter in both hands. "General, this is the battle report from Linzhou you want." When he heard that it was the battle report from Linzhou, Guo Da quickly waved his hand and said: "Send it up quickly." Guo Da followed the order.
The soldier took the battle report in his hand, and after watching it carefully, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. "Hahaha... God is really helping me..."
Looking at Yang Yanzhao's military use throughout his life, he cannot escape from these two words. When he invades, Yang Yanzhao will always use the fewest troops to quickly expand the greatest results. When defending the city, he becomes a piece of cake.
It's a hard nut that no one can chew. When Zhe Wei was young, the Zhe and Yang families exchanged children to learn each other's military skills and learn from each other's strengths. Of course, it also meant to show their closeness.
This was a common thing in ancient times. It was also the only way to break the sectarian differences. But Zheyang had just learned the character "山", and the relationship between Zheyang's and Yang's families broke down. He was also sent home.
It’s funny to say that the Zhe family sent their eldest son to the Yang family, but the Yang family sent Yang Si instead of Yang Da. This is why Yang Si seems to be a bit smarter among the Yang family brothers.
Because he was the director of two families, Zhewei had been preparing for the battle at Yama Ridge for fifteen days, but it ended in five hours. He did not want to see the scene in the Shura field inside, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle.
The enemy's corpses were hastily buried...
Li Jiqian's camp. Li Deming suffered a heavy loss and returned in defeat. After he dragged his injured body into the military camp, everyone was stunned. Li Jiqian came after hearing the news and saw Li Deming for the first time.
My heart skipped a beat. "You...where are the soldiers and horses under your command?"
Li Jiqian asked this sentence with a trembling heart. Li Deming burst into tears and cried: "It's all gone..." "You traitor!" Li Jiqian shouted loudly and almost fainted. If he were a soldier with sharp eyesight and quick hands, he would
They all fell to the ground. Li Jiqian, who barely stood firm, picked up the whip and whipped Li Deming hard.
"Boom~" Just when Li Jiqian was teaching his son, a burst of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the military camp. A single rider broke into the camp. The rider was a woman. She jumped off the horse and stumbled over.
Li Jiqian stood in front of him and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Father, something happened..."
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
