Among the mountains, the branches of the trees are covered with greenery. From a distance, they look green.
Outside the mountain road, a caravan was walking slowly.
All things revive, and merchants are the first to smell the breath of spring. They travel everywhere with the tools and even seeds that farmers need.
The businessman looked at the guys fighting vigorously and couldn't help but smile, "Spring is great!"
The accountant next to me said: "Yesterday I saw someone rushing to Chang'an like crazy, saying that troops were sent from Northern Xinjiang. I don't know how this battle will turn out."
The businessman said: "What can we do? After all, the skinny camels over Beiliao are bigger than horses. Once it breaks out, hundreds of thousands of troops are hoarding. How can we fight? Let's go to Chang'an. I am worried that Chang'an will send troops.
"Isn't it appropriate to send troops at this time?" The accountant said: "After all, it is a feud between the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an. No matter how evil Chang'an says to the Duke of Qin, it is not easy to send troops."
"Don't even think about it. If Northern Xinjiang is victorious in this battle, Northern Liao will be destroyed. The border generals have destroyed the sworn enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Where do you want the emperor's face to go? Furthermore, the Northern Xinjiang forces that captured Ningxing will be defeated.
It will expand. Isn't Chang'an worried that the Duke of Qin will turn around and go south? After all, it is quite unethical for the emperor to do those things."
"Those are the monarchs and ministers! If the Duke of Qin goes south, to be honest, I will definitely denounce him as a traitor!" The accountant looked serious.
The businessman smiled and said, "We can't care about those big things. We just need to do business well. Look at those guys, behind each of them is a family. My business is not only to support myself, but also their families."
"Alang's merits are immeasurable," the accountant said with a smile.
"Someone is coming out." A guy pointed to the mountain road on the side and said.
Two men who looked like savages walked out of the mountain road, dumbfounded, and then looked at the caravan in disbelief.
"Is this the human world?"
A man knelt down and beat the ground, "God! I'm out, I'm out alive."
The businessman was stunned, "How big of a crime is this?"
The other man looked at them blankly, then looked at his hands, and cried loudly, "We are finally out of the mountain, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"There's something wrong with this girl." The businessman winked, and the guys pressed the handles of their knives, ready to take action at any time.
"stop!"
The man who shouted "Your Majesty" shouted: "We have money! We have a lot of money!"
The merchant's heart skipped a beat, and the accountant said: "Alang, look at this man, his eyes are green, be careful!"
The businessman took a closer look and saw that it was really green.
"We are from the palace. Take me to a nearby city and I swear to the gods and Buddhas in the sky that I will make you rich in this life, otherwise I will fall into hell after death and never be reincarnated!"
The businessman was happy when he heard this and shouted: "Save a big cart for the noble man to take."
He dismounted his horse and walked over.
"What's your surname?"
After all, you have to sign up, right? If you go back on your word, I will pray to God and curse you.
"We, Jiang." The man raised his head, his green eyes showing a hint of awe.
"Prince Qin, we will fight until death!"
Two men with green eyes walked out of the mountain road. One of them claimed to be from the palace, named Jiang.
The news spread like wildfire.
Then he headed to northern Xinjiang.
As soon as the army arrived, they fought a tough battle, and Yang Xuan immediately ordered the entire army to repair.
However, the forward did not have such good luck, and Jiang Cunzhong led his men to continue the attack.
"Mr. Lang, let me go!"
Wang Laoer begged.
Yang Xuan originally wanted the old thief to go, but he couldn't resist Wang Laoer's persistence.
While eating, he squatted next to Yang Xuan and looked at him eagerly.
While walking, he followed me and looked at him eagerly.
Even in the early morning of Mother's Day, he had the ability to squat outside and watch over her.
"roll!"
"Got the order!"
Wang Laoer ran away happily.
The old thief was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
But he smiled again in a flash, "Younger brother, do you want to show your father-in-law a little bit of color?"
Yang Xuan said: "Let Pei Jian and the others come."
Later, the generals will come
Already.
The map hung on the side, and Jiang Heer stood aside holding a thin stick.
Yang Xuan said: "The Jiangzhou Army is quite stable. If we continue to fight step by step, the back and forth between the two armies will definitely take a long time. Once Chang'an receives the news, a large army will definitely gather. The Southern Xinjiang Army will also move.
"
He took a sip of tea. This was the right of the Duke of Qin, and the generals could only stand and watch.
"Although it will take time for the southern Xinjiang army to gather and move north, it will also take a lot of time for our army to capture Jiangzhou and Ningxing. After defeating it, we will still have to face the problem of governance and suppression. How can we face the battle with confidence if we don't straighten out these things?
?Therefore, this battle should be faster."
Yang Xuan said: "It is a bad idea to attack Jiangzhou City directly."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Heliantong has more than 100,000 troops hoarded in the city. We are attacking step by step. It is estimated that we will not be able to defeat it in half a year. The surrounding Northern Liao army continues to harass us, and our army will be struggling every step of the way."
This explanation is good. Han Ji seems to have made great progress in the military field.
Yang Xuan nodded slightly, "Jiangzhou City is well-defended and difficult to attack. Let me explain to you that I will not attack Jiangzhou City unless I have to."
Pei Jian said: "Even if we attack, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and we don't know how long it will take to return to full strength.
Recruiting soldiers and horses, even if you are not short of money, but so many children from Northern Xinjiang died in the first battle, you want to recruit new warriors to supplement.
If the children of Northern Xinjiang are willing, they will have to spend a lot of time.
Not to mention the time it takes to practice.
But Chang'an Li Bi's desire to destroy Yang Xuan was ten thousand times more sincere than his love for the imperial concubine.
Chang'an will take advantage of Northern Xinjiang's weakness to launch a massive attack.
Therefore, there is no delay!
This is the background of this battle.
"He Liantong is stable and immobile in Jiangzhou City. The only way to mobilize him is to abandon Jiangzhou City and attack from all sides."
Yang Xuan pointed to the map, "New Bus!"
Jiang Heer pointed at New World First Bus on the map with a thin stick.
"After Xinba is on the left side of Jiangzhou City, if we capture Xinba, our army can advance to attack Ningxing and retreat to protect the right wing of the army. This foothold is extraordinary."
Yang Xuan said: "This raid on Xinba must bypass Jiangzhou City. The key point is self-evident, make a circle and bypass Jiangzhou City!"
He Lianyan came in and said, "The news about the Duke of Jin Yiwei is that Jiang, a member of the palace who is on an envoy to Ningxing, walked out of the mountains and went to Chang'an."
Yang Xuan said softly: "Now, time is running out!"
In Jiangzhou City, He Liantong was also analyzing the battle situation with his subordinates.
"Chang'an is Yang Xuan's weakness. He can't delay it. Otherwise, if Chang'an's army goes north, he will have no choice but to retreat. Once he retreats, I will definitely lead the army to fight against him."
He Liantong did not say later that it was a decision that Ning Xing needed to make, "So Yang Xuan will definitely seek a quick decision. I am sitting firmly in Jiangzhou City, waiting for him to attack."
Chen De said with a smile: "Jiangzhou City is strong, the army is gathered, and the food and grass are piled up like mountains. Not to mention too much, it is not a problem to hold on for half a year. In half a year, the Chang'an army will arrive early."
"Not to mention the Chang'an army, once the morale of the old and ineffective Northern Xinjiang army is low, Ningxing will send troops to attack from a pincer attack, and our army will go out of the city for a decisive battle. In this battle, I dare say that 99% of the time, Daliao will win!"
The handsome man's brows were full of pride.
"To be honest, I am a little disappointed in the Linde battle." He Liantong said: "What the two sides are competing now is patience. What is patience? It is the morale of the people. The loss of Linde will have a huge blow to the morale of Jiangzhou and Ningxing.
Big, it goes without saying.”
Everyone bowed their heads.
Heliantong was very satisfied with his subordinate's attitude, at least he knew the shame.
"At the moment, the Northern Xinjiang Army is renovating, and the army has set up camp in Linde. The camp is huge." Heliantong said.
"Your Majesty!" A general said while he was drinking tea: "Yang Xuan is good at raiding. If you want to raid his camp, it will be difficult for your subordinates."
"Who said I was going to raid his camp?"
"That"
Heliantong pointed at the map, "The one I want to raid is Linde!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"As soon as Linde came down, the Northern Xinjiang Army certainly didn't expect that I would make a surprise attack. However,
The Northern Xinjiang Army has done a good job in scouting. This attack can take a detour from Xinba and make a circle. Attack Linde from the left. After descending to Linde, set fire to it and then evacuate."
He Liantong said: "I want Yang Xuan to know that sooner or later what he eats will have to be vomited out by me!"
Wang Laoer led the rangers to the Jiangzhou City area. They encountered many enemy scouts along the way and defeated them one by one.
"Second brother, there are more than a thousand riders in front of us!"
The scout came back, looking excited.
Wang Laoer brought more than 3,000 cavalry with him. Aren’t those more than 1,000 cavalry delivering food?
"superior!"
Wang Laoer thought this was a big deal.
When I saw the other party, the other party did not retreat
"Whose general is so bold?" The fat elder couldn't help but feel angry for his second brother.
The Northern Liao cavalry approached slowly and calmly.
"kill!"
Wang Laoer drew his sword.
The enemy troops on the opposite side opened a passage, and a carriage slowly drove out.
The car curtain opened and a woman's voice came, "Are we here?"
"Wow!"
A child was crying in the carriage.
Wang Laoer reined in his horse and said, "Who is fighting with a child?"
A woman poked her head out and said, "Wang Laoer?"
"Zhan Juan?"
Wang Laoer couldn't believe it, "What are you doing here?"
"Wow!"
The child was still crying, and a woman said: "The car was a little bumpy."
Wang Laoer rode over. "Whose child is it?"
Zhan Juan rolled her eyes at him, "What do you think?"
Wang Laoer said happily: "Let me see!"
Ta-ta-ta!
More than ten riders rode forward and stood in front of Zhan Juan.
"Madam, this is Wang Lao Er!"
The leading general's breathing was somewhat rapid.
This murderous devil!
Zhan Juan was puzzled, "What are you afraid of?"
This is a devil who likes to harvest human heads!
Wang Laoer dismounted and came over, holding out his hand with a look of anticipation on his face.
Zhan Juan handed him the swaddling clothes.
Wang Laoer held the child, lowered his head, and looked attentively.
The child looked at him and suddenly grinned.
Wang Laoer laughed a little flattered.
One big and one small, smiling at each other.
The camp stretched out, and when a thousand Northern Liao cavalry appeared, it caused a sensation.
Each of these thousand cavalrymen is tall, and their horses are extremely handsome, and they are the kind of people who can be seen in the palace.
Without looking sideways, they escorted the carriage outside the camp.
"Duke!"
Yang Xuan was thinking about occupying it when the old thief rushed in and said, "The child is here."
Um!
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
He wrote to Changling, saying that he wanted to see the child, but he was also prepared to be rejected.
He got up and walked out.
The carriage stopped in front, Zhan Juan got down, turned around and reached out, holding out a swaddling clothes.
Yang Xuan walked over slowly.
Perhaps it was telepathy, but the child started crying immediately.
"Aren't you fed?"
Yang Xuan asked.
Zhan Juan turned around and said, "I just fed her."
Yang Xuan smelled the smell of milk and reached out to take the child.
The child was crying and struggling.
"Don't cry, don't cry!"
Yang Xuan walked slowly with the child in his arms.
The child is quite fair, even whiter than A Liang.
A pair of eyes are big and round, and the cheeks are a little fat.
"Aguang!"
Yang Xuan called softly.
The child choked, "Mom!"
Yang Xuan smiled, "Call Aye."
"yeah!"
"Why!"
The father and son took a slow walk under the spring light.
The generals had a tacit understanding and did not bother me.
They were all discussing the war at a distance.
"The raid on Xinba must be fast and stable. I am the only one who can do this."
"put
Shit, when it comes to speed, who can beat me?"
"Shut up, everyone!"
A veteran general pointed at Yang Xuan and his son in the distance, "The Duke will make his own decision on these matters. However, the Duke is calling for troops and horses, and it is rare to relax. Let's wait."
A general said: "Is this the one belonging to the eldest princess?"
"Of course it is."
"I didn't expect it! The Duke is really..."
"That's her blessing."
"The eldest princess of Northern Liao who listens to politics from behind the curtain, her methods are not something ordinary people can afford."
"Why don't you obediently give birth to a child for the Duke?"
Zhan Juan ate something and came out. She saw Yang Xuan still holding the child, lowering his head and smiling, not knowing what to say.
After seeing Zhan Juan, he nodded and Zhan Juan came over.
"How is Changling's health?"
"The eldest princess is in good health."
"What does she think of my suggestion?"
"The eldest princess didn't say anything."
"Changling!" Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "You tell her that in the world's major events, if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. This is the general trend and cannot be stopped. I understand that she does not want to give up Bei Liao, but she is so stubborn, except for letting the soldiers and civilians of Bei Liao
If you suffer more, what else can you get?"
Zhan Juan raised her head and said, "Da Liao will win!"
Just be happy!
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Two things. First, the Northern Liao Dynasty will be defeated. If Changling escapes, the young emperor will definitely be unpopular in the future. In troubled times, whoever holds the military power will be the king. Changling is ready to become the empress.
Preparations? Secondly, I don’t like Aguang getting caught up in a power struggle. If she can’t control it, then send the child over.”
Zhan Juan wanted to refute, but Yang Xuan just looked at her calmly and couldn't even say those words.
"The flowers have fallen helplessly, and the familiar swallow has returned." Yang Xuan handed the swaddling clothes to Zhan Juan, "When the child grows up, he will be sent to Datang in a while, and I will teach him personally."
"yes!"
Zhan Juan took the child and Yang Xuan turned around.
"Wow!"
The child suddenly started to cry.
Yang Xuan sighed and turned around, "Let's stay one night!"
The hero is sad and the child is in prison!
That night, the Duke of Qin personally took care of the child. The child was crying in the middle of the night. Candles were lit in the tent. When the wet nurse went in, she saw Yang Xuan holding the child and humming softly.
The figures of the father and son were reflected on the tent by the candlelight, soft and gentle.
At dawn, Yang Xuan handed the child to Zhan Juan, kissed him one last time, and said reluctantly: "Tell those two words to Changling."
"yes!"
Zhan Juan got into the carriage with her child in her arms.
The carriage moved slowly, Zhan Juan lifted the curtain and looked back.
Yang Xuan's eyes have been following the carriage, his eyes gentle.
