Yang Dezheng seemed to have noticed the generals' scruples, and he immediately said clearly: "You can speak freely. I just want to listen to everyone's suggestions and review them in detail. It doesn't matter even if I say something wrong. No one will be punished for it.
"The generals of the Zhejia Army looked at each other. After receiving Yang Dezheng's promise, they felt a lot more relieved and began to express their opinions.
Yang Dezheng listened roughly and found that their opinions can be divided into two categories. One category is those who advocate attacking Fengzhou City. Those who advocate the attack feel that they can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Fengzhou City. Compared with
Comparing the military strength of Guo Da and Ye Qiganbo, Guo Da's military strength is obviously weaker than that of Ye Qiganbo.
It is completely easier to grab Fengzhou City from Guo Da than from Ye Qiganbo. As long as you control Fengzhou City, even if you are against Ye Qiganbo, you can still be defeated.
Ask for help from the Zhe family army. The other group advocates continuing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. They feel that they can continue to lurk.
Then let Yeqi Ganbo and Guo Da continue to fight. Then they can reap the benefits. In fact, the two ideas they mentioned coincided with what Yang Dezheng thought. It’s just that Yang Dezheng felt that these two methods were both
Disadvantages. After seizing Fengzhou City from Guo Da and facing Yeqi Ganbo, Yang Dezheng felt that he had little chance of winning.
Moreover, it is not safe to ask for reinforcements from the Zhejia Army. The Zhejia have just captured Linzhou. To stabilize Linzhou and defend the party, this requires a large number of troops. At this critical moment, the Zhejia cannot send any more reinforcements.
Help Yang Dezheng.
Therefore, it is unwise to place hope on the Zhe family. Continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. This method also has drawbacks. The 30,000 Renaissance Army under his command has been gathering rapidly in recent days. Once the 30,000 people gather together, it will be a
The goal is not small, and it may not be able to be hidden when the time comes.
As long as Guo Da and Yeqi Ganbo discover their plans for Fengzhou City, the situation will fall into a stalemate, because no one is willing to help others make wedding dresses.
The tribe continued to mobilize troops and horses. Guo Da was also likely to take this opportunity to ask for help from the Liao Kingdom. As a result, the two parties would quickly gather strength.
At that time, the 30,000 Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng will appear to be a bit weak. It is very likely that it will be quickly wiped out in the confrontation between the two groups of powerful forces. Therefore, both plans have drawbacks. Yang Dezheng
It was hard to judge which plan should be used. Yang Dezheng frowned and looked at Fan Long.
Fan Long gritted his teeth and said: "Let's fight. Now that things have happened, we have no possibility of retreating. If we want to gain a foothold in the northwest, we can't live in secretive ways. We must show our prestige openly and openly." Yang Dezheng nodded helplessly.
Nodding. He admitted that when the two plans were placed in front of him, Fan Long's choice and statement were correct.
In this place of four battles, everything has to be done with fists. Suddenly, a voice sounded timidly.
"Um...I'll have something to say..." Everyone followed the sound and saw a person hiding quietly in a corner of the thatched house. This person was very thin, tall and thin, and he was wearing a suit of armor.
Very tolerant. Seeing everyone looking at him, this person seemed a little embarrassed.
He raised his head and smiled dryly, trying to relieve his embarrassment. Seeing that no one spoke and still stared at him, he whispered, "Pretend I didn't say..."
Yang Dezheng stared at this person for a while, searching for memories about this person in his mind. After a while, Yang Dezheng asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Chen Yao?" The person was stunned, obviously not expecting Yang.
Dezheng could actually remember his own name. His face turned red, and he stretched out his hands from his wide sleeves with great effort, cupping his hands and saying, "My subordinate is Chen Yao."
The reason why Yang Dezheng has an impression of Chen Yao is because this person is a talent found in the guerrilla war launched by Yang Dezheng. He is also one of the few people in this thatched house who does not belong to the Zhejia Army.
In this guerrilla war launched by Yang Dezheng, members of the Zhejia Army almost uniquely occupied most of the captain positions among the one hundred brigades.
But there are exceptions. Chen Yao is an exception. This person is a Han, and his family lived in Dangxiang. Because he was born thin, he was bullied by others in Dangxiang. Later, he woke up and stirred up trouble in Dangxiang. This person is
He took the opportunity to shelter under Xing's command. He was originally an inconspicuous pawn, but in this guerrilla war, he stood out. His brigade was the first brigade to go out when they set off.
It was also the brigade that suffered the heaviest blow from the Yeqi tribe’s cavalry. The captain and supervisor of the brigade died in the hands of the Yeqi tribe’s cavalry. At the critical moment, this man stepped forward. With his own wisdom, he led their brigade
He fought with the Yeqi tribe's cavalry in a battle of wits and courage, and finally succeeded in surviving. He was responsible for the sneak attack on Fengzhou City and the killing of Yeqi Ganbo's youngest son.
After Yang Dezheng's troops gathered together, although he was annoyed with the difficulties caused by these guys who went to Fengzhou City to attack Fengzhou City, he also appreciated their talents. So Yang Dezheng officially appointed Chen Yao as a general.
.The official position is not high, he is just a minor official from the eighth rank. But he also has the power to participate in military affairs. Yang Dezheng has always felt that heroes do not ask where they come from, so he did not despise Chen Yao just because his official position was small. Yang Dezheng showed up
Waving her hand, she signaled him not to be nervous, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Encouraged by Yang Dezheng, Chen Yao bravely said: "General, gentlemen, your eyes have been fixed on Fengzhou City. Have you ever thought about Shengzhou City?" "Shengzhou City?" Yang
Dezheng and other generals were immediately stunned. Although Chen Yao was a timid official, he did not hold back when explaining his ideas. As long as he started talking, he could finish it quickly, "At present,
The Liao army under Guo Da basically came out in full force. Therefore, there should be only three or two kittens in the Liao army in Shengzhou City.
Why don't we take the opportunity to sneak attack Shengzhou? Guo Da is dragged by wild beggars, and there is no time to come back for reinforcements. By the time he reacts, we have already captured Shengzhou. As long as we capture Shengzhou, we can divide our troops.
Two routes, one on the border of Shengzhou, quickly lead troops and horses to build passes; one can ambush Guo Da on the border of Fengzhou and Shengzhou.
Once Guo Da is defeated and retreats, or returns to aid Shengzhou, we can all wait for work and destroy it. Then we can counterattack back to Fengzhou and capture Fengzhou." Chen Yaoyue said more and more excitedly. Obviously, he must have thought about this plan for a long time.
. And he was very thoughtful, taking into account not only the wild beggars, but also the reactions of Guo Da and the Liao State. Yang Dezheng thought about it carefully and felt that what Chen Yao said was reasonable.
In Yang Dezheng's plan, Shengzhou is also a place that must be fought for. According to Yang Dezheng's original plan, he is preparing to gradually plan to win the state. Now he can take the opportunity to win the state at the minimum cost, which is the best. Once
By capturing Shengzhou and quickly building a city wall similar to Yanmen Pass on the border of Shengzhou, the Liao army can be kept out of Shengzhou.
Shengzhou was safely in the hands of the Yang family. Yang Dezheng immediately made the decision: "Let's do it." Before, he was blinded by a leaf, but now that he was awakened by Chen Yao, Yang Dezheng's vision suddenly became wider. Yang
Dezheng is not a person who procrastinates when doing things. Since he has decided to attack Shengzhou by surprise, he must act quickly. Yang Dezheng wrote a letter and had someone take it to Yang Gui. He took 30,000 troops with him, day and night.
He rushed to Shengzhou without stopping.
When Yang Dezheng led his people to Shengzhou, Ye Qiganbo gathered his 60,000 cavalry and rushed to Fengzhou City. When he saw his son's head and Guo Da's military flag hanging on the city wall,
He was completely angry. Although Yeqi Ganbo doted on his younger son, the most important thing in his heart was his eldest son.
He had been cultivating his eldest son as his heir and had given him too much high hopes. Now that his eldest son died, it was a huge blow to Yeqi Ganbo. After Yeqi Ganbo arrived at Fengzhou City, he decisively ordered an attack on the city.
The order was also issued to massacre the city. The 60,000 cavalrymen and the 20,000 Liao troops in the city launched a protracted fight. Neither of them had the intention of letting the other side go. Lao Yang, who was far away on the border of Daizhou, had been
Continue to pay attention to the battle in Fengzhou.
Yang Yanzhao's hands were extremely itchy, but he couldn't go out to fight in Daizhou, so he could only watch. Since Yang Qi sent him three months of food and wages, Yang Yanzhao no longer had to worry about food and wages. He had enough time to
It was a waste of time here. Yang Yanzhao was bored in the tent and kept deducing the battle situation in the northwest.
Wang Gui held a red-lacquered letter and hurriedly entered Yang Yanzhao's tent. "Your Majesty, there is news about the eldest young master." Yang Yanzhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "That boy won't really attack Fengzhou City, right?
?" Yang Yanzhao often receives information from Fengzhou relatively late, so what he knows so far is that Yang Yanzhao is quietly stationing troops outside Fengzhou City.
Regarding Yang Yanzhao's attack on Fengzhou City, Lao Yang thought nothing of it. However, Yang Yanzhao felt that it might not be possible to hold it after the attack. Yang Yanzhao's intention of dividing his troops from Yang Dezheng and regrouping to plot Fengzhou City was very clear. Yang Yanzhao could deduce that Yang Dezheng
He did not calculate Guo Dabu's sudden participation and underestimated Guo Dabu's combat effectiveness. Therefore, Yang Dezheng could easily fall into a dilemma.
But no matter what he chose, the result didn't seem to be good. Yang Yanzhao felt that it was best for Yang Dezheng to withdraw to Daizhou, and he avoided this option at once. Wang Gui had been deducing the battle situation with Yang Yanzhao in recent days, so he understood Yang Yanzhao
Thoughts in his heart. Wang Gui handed over the red-lacquered letter, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, you and I both guessed wrong."
"Oh?" Yang Yanzhao took the letter, opened it, and looked dumbfounded. "He went to fight against Shengzhou?" Wang Gui said dumbfounded: "According to the report from the spies lurking in the Fuxing Army, Yang Dezheng said that he went to pick it up.
Winning a state does not mean defeating a state."
Lao Yang took the letter and said tremblingly: "Going to conquer Shengzhou is a clever move, but, but, Shengzhou is the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Once he captures Shengzhou, it will be easy to provoke a war between Song and Liao.
When the Liao people move south in a big way, how will he end up? Who does he think he is, and does he think the northwest belongs to him?" Wang Gui sighed: "I will be outside, and your life will be compromised. Now that things have happened, let's think about it.
How should we end it?" Old Yang slumped down on the chair and murmured: "How do I know how to end it?"
Lao Yang had never done anything so exciting in his life. So he really didn't know what to do. After sitting paralyzed for a while, Yang Yanzhao stood up and said, "No, I have to stop that bastard." Wang Gui hurriedly said: "
Absolutely not. Nowadays, there are frequent wars in Fengzhou. Your Majesty, you must stay in Daizhou. Once you leave Daizhou, the enemy will take the opportunity to invade Daizhou, and it will be over."
Yang Yanzhao said indignantly: "I can't just watch that little brat get into trouble, right?" Wang Gui said thoughtfully: "For this purpose, we can only watch. However, isn't Yang Gui along the Fengzhou line now? Why not, Your Majesty?
Write to Yang Gui and ask them to persuade the young master." Yang Yanzhao nodded solemnly and said, "I will write to Yang Gui now."
While Yang Yanzhao was writing to Yang Gui, Yang Dezheng had already led his troops into Shengzhou. After entering Shengzhou, Yang Dezheng frowned. Fengzhou and Shengzhou were separated by a water, but Yang Dezheng entered Shengzhou.
After entering Fengzhou, it was like arriving in a strange place. Although the Han people in Fengzhou lived a very poor life, they could still be regarded as human beings. But after entering Shengzhou.
What he saw everywhere he went was simply horrifying. Within Shengzhou, Han people were enslaved everywhere. Yang Dezheng rushed into a village and killed the Liao people inside, and rescued thousands of enslaved people.
Their eyes were numb. After seeing Yang Dezheng's army, their eyes were full of fear. Especially the women, seven or eight were frightened and fainted on the spot after seeing Yang Dezheng's army.
Yang Dezheng burst into tears. He growled and ordered Chen Yao, "Hand out the banner with the word Yang. Let the soldiers tell the people that we are here." Yang Dezheng's pure Chinese accent clearly aroused the excitement of some elderly people among the people.
Attention. Their eyes obviously began to shine. An old man showed courage and asked: "But I am the general of the Han family?" Yang Dezheng solemnly shouted: "I am the general of the Han family, the commander-in-chief of the Fuxing Army, Yang Dezheng."
"Pfft~" The old people fell to their knees on the ground one after another, wailing loudly. "You are here! You are here! I have been waiting for you for forty-five years, old man." "Forty-five years! Why did you just come?
Come on, why did you come?” “Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
"Why are you here?" asked Yang Dezheng, a great talent, who was speechless. Tears flowed down uncontrollably. Yes! It has been a long time since Shi Jingtang dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan.
Sixty-five years have passed. When people mention this period of history, they always feel humiliated, unwilling and angry. However, when Yang Dezheng set foot on this land, what he saw was not humiliation or unwillingness.
Not angry.
It's more of a kind of guilt. A kind of guilt that comes from deep in your heart. It's like a brother from the same mother who is imprisoned. And you are always sighing, unwilling, feeling humiliated and angry. But when you
When you rescued him, all you felt was guilt. Your brother was wronged, and you, a strong brother, couldn't help him seek justice. How could you not feel guilty?
Yang Dezheng felt it more deeply than anyone else. Because he knew that without him as a troublemaker, the suffering of the Han people in Liao would not have been sixty-five years, but hundreds of years. Yang Dezheng felt that he had
There are many things I want to say, but when the words come to my lips, no words come out. Thousands of words are combined into one sentence.
"We are late. We have made you feel wronged." Yang Dezheng helped the old man who led him and said loudly with tears streaming down his face: "From now on, we have the final say in Shengzhou. From now on, you have the final say."
Then we can live and work in peace and contentment like the people in the Central Plains. Of course, I hope that everyone can work hard and work together to save more people who are suffering." Other people also reacted at this time and began to cry.
.
From now on, I no longer have to be a slave, and I no longer have to suffer humiliation. Yang Dezheng sent people to appease the people. Then he ordered the army to display the Yang-character banner and rushed all the way to Shengzhou City. As the army set out,
Yang Dezheng's order had only one word.
"Kill!" Yang Dezheng divided the 30,000 Renaissance Army into small groups again and began to sweep through Shengzhou. The army swept all the way. Just as he said, it was to pick up the city. Almost everywhere it went,
The resistance encountered was very weak. In front of the large number of people of the Renaissance Army, it could not play a big role at all. The army crushed them. When they arrived at Shengzhou City.
The Fuxing Army under Yang Dezheng once again transformed into cavalry. There were many Liao people in Shengzhou, and many of them were descendants of nobles. Therefore, the Fuxing Army could easily gather horses from Shengzhou. The army fought to Shengzhou City.
It was already three days later. Judging from the defense of Shengzhou City, Guo Da was indeed a talented general. He built the defense of Shengzhou City well.
However, in order to capture Fengzhou, he almost depleted Shengzhou's troops and horses. Therefore, on the walls of Shengzhou City, there were less than 2,000 soldiers and horses responsible for defense. There were also 3,000 temporarily recruited war slaves.
Yang Dezheng rode on horseback to the gates of Shengzhou City. The 30,000 Renaissance Army had expanded to 50,000 in just three days. After being rescued, the young men of Shengzhou decisively joined the Renaissance Army.
And it was the kind that had to be entered. They all had a resentment in their hearts that needed to be vented and revenged. Yang Dezheng strictly ordered the Renaissance Army not to recruit soldiers at will, but to go through strict selection. Even so, they still collected soldiers
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses.
Fifty thousand troops gathered at the foot of Shengzhou City. Yang Dezheng raised his palms high and shouted loudly: "Attack the city!" Fifty thousand Renaissance troops attacked a city with only two thousand regular soldiers and three thousand slave soldiers, which was basically nothing to see.
Although Guo Da made Shengzhou City impenetrable, the Renaissance Army under Yang Dezheng attacked from all sides at the same time. The garrison on the top of the city was assigned to each wall, only 500 regular soldiers and several hundred slave soldiers.
All the generals who could command troops in Shengzhou City were transferred by Guo Da, so the battle situation was basically one-sided. Fan Long showed his powerful force in the siege battle. The three-foot-high city wall, Shang Qingzi could only
With a ladder, he successfully climbed to the top of the city. Facing the more than a thousand soldiers on the top of the city, Fan Long was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and began a brutal and inhumane massacre. The Renaissance Army following Fan Long,
With almost no pressure, we climbed to the top of the city.
An hour later, the entire Shengzhou City had changed hands. When Yang Dezheng led his army on horseback and entered the city, all those who should be cleaned had been slaughtered. The blood on both sides of the street dyed the entire street red.
.But the Han people in Liao were not afraid or disgusted at all. They crowded on both sides of the street, shouting and roaring wildly, as if they wanted to vent all the anger and depression in their hearts.
They all knew that the generals of the Han family had arrived. From then on, the city's surname was no longer Liao, but Han. The north wind blew crazily. The Yang-character flag stretched straight in the north wind. The Yang on the flag
The word is engraved in the hearts of every citizen of Shengzhou City.
Yang Dezheng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Guo Mansion, amid the welcome of the people. In front of the Guo Mansion. Yang Dezheng stared at his people. He felt that he needed to say a few words. Yang Dezheng jumped off the horse.
In order to let more people see him, he stood on the two-meter-high stone platform in front of the Guo Mansion.
"Pa~" The riding whip was whipped up and hit the plaque of Guo Mansion. The plaque of Guo Mansion was shattered with the sound.
"Okay!" The people jumped up and cheered. Yang Dezheng put his hands behind his back and said solemnly: "People of Shengzhou City, brothers and sisters. My name is Yang Dezheng, and I am the general of our Han family. Today we captured Shengzhou City.
, just to understand the suffering of my Han family brothers and sisters.
From today on, this Shengzhou City is our common home. The suffering you have endured is over." Hearing this, the people all burst into tears. Some even knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng looked solemn.
He said: "However, in the east, the Liao people are still eyeing us. Today I have captured Shengzhou, and the Liao people will definitely refuse to agree. A large army will surely invade in the future."
We must use our hands to keep the Liao people out of Shengzhou. We must never let the Liao people invade Shengzhou again, and we must never let the Liao people harm our brothers and sisters again. In order to resist the Liao people, I decided to
In Chenjiakou, build a pass similar to Yanmen Pass. As long as the pass is built, the Liao people will no longer be able to step into Shengzhou.
And my soldiers and horses are limited, and we must build the fortress as soon as possible. Therefore, I need everyone to help me. One person from each family will build the city." When they heard that they were asked to help build the city to defend against the Liao people, the people were obviously a little agitated.
hesitate.
Hearing that the Liao army would invade in the near future, the people were even more hesitant. The Liao people seemed to have planted a ferocious seed in their hearts, so that they did not dare to resist easily. Yang Dezheng looked ugly. The Liao people ruled
It has been sixty-five years since the victory of Shengzhou, and many of the newly born Han people in Liao have been enslaved for half their lives under the high-pressure policies of the Liao people.
They have a heartfelt fear of the Liao people. The Liao people have always been superior in the hearts of the Han people in Liao. A Liao person can kill a Han citizen at will. But if a Han citizen wants to harm a Liao person, he will
He was retaliated by killing his whole family.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
