"Wang Shiming has promised to make King Qin hate his city."
Wei Ming rode his horse on a hillside, looking at Songcheng in the distance. "I owe you!"
Songzhou.
Songzhou guard Wang Shiming stood on the top of the city, and the deputy general Pan Heng beside him sighed: "The general promised to make the King of Qin hate the city. I thought the gain would outweigh the loss."
"Are you worried that King Qin will get angry and come to Songzhou in person?"
"Yes. That is the King of Qin after all." Pan Heng hesitated before speaking.
"The king is no match for him, but I'm going to make him hate the city. This is a bit overestimating my ability, and it's also a bit ridiculous."
It's good that you know. "It's gone, do you know?" "What's gone?" "Southern Xinjiang is going to be gone." "General, be careful what you say."
"Haven't you seen it yet?" Wang Shiming said: "The king abandoned Qianzhou and Hongzhou just to exchange the loss of those cities for time to train his army. In other words, he was not sure about facing the King of Qin. Now, it’s my turn, Songzhou.”
This topic was too sensitive and Pan Heng did not dare to take it up.
"Your Majesty wants to have a decisive battle with King Qin in the end, and we are the scapegoats."
Pan Heng was silent for a long time and said: "Those bastards who massacred the city! They have cut off our escape route.
"Yes! Those bastards have cut off our escape route. But what puzzles me is that those people died when they died, but the King of Qin refused to let them go.
Wang Shiming really didn't understand, "If the King of Qin hadn't refused to surrender, why would this journey have been so hard?"
"It is rumored that the King of Qin once said that the common people are the food, clothing and parents of the army." "What a nonsense!" Wang Shiming said disdainfully: "Isn't that what they should do?"
"Yes! It is natural to cultivate the land and reap the food." "Perhaps, he is a bloodthirsty person!"
A group of scouts came rushing over to protect one person. "Open the city gate!"
Wang Shiming said: "I go down and take a look, you just keep an eye on it." In the distance, the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army were looming.
The city gate was half open, and the scouts quickly closed it after entering. "It's Deputy Wei's messenger." A scout came to report.
The messenger came over and said, "The king will coordinate this battle with Deputy Envoy Wei. "Yes." Wang Shiming nodded.
"Deputy Envoy Wei said that Songzhou and Shangzhou should be defended. He led his troops to roam outside, looking for opportunities to rescue."
"That way, I can feel relieved."
Wang Shiming, who had always felt that he was cannon fodder, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please tell Vice Envoy Wei that if I am here, Songcheng will be there. The envoy said, "In that case, I will go back." The city gate opened again and the envoy left.
"Close the city gate." The city gate slowly closed. "Block the city gate!"
Carloads of debris were brought in and gradually piled up behind the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was blocked, Wang Laoer came with the rangers. "Gou Ri, you don't dare to fight?"
Wang Laoer made an obscene gesture toward the city with some regret, and then led his men around Songzhou City and headed south.
"Deputy Ambassador Wei is there, I hope he can hit him head on." Wang Shiming said coldly.
But then he no longer had the intention to pray for Wang Laoer. "The enemy is coming!"
The mighty Northern Xinjiang Army is coming.
Wang Shiming looked at the big flag, took a deep breath, and said, "Ring the bell!"
Clang clang clang!
The bell rang and martial law was imposed in the city. "Deputy envoy, they are coming."
Wei Ming waited until he had his men.
Twenty thousand people gathered and made a great fuss. The generals came to see them and brought Shi Zhongtang's words.
"The king said he is right behind."
Wei Ming glanced behind him and said, "That's Huangzhou." The word Huangzhou made everyone feel uncomfortable.
If it hadn't been for the Huangzhou Massacre, there wouldn't be today's endless fight to the death.
Wei Ming did it on purpose. He looked at everyone's reactions and knew that the anger within the rebels was gradually dissipating.
Now, I am relying on the thought that I will die no matter what.
The messenger came back, "Wang Shiming said, people are in the city. "Where is Ashina Jianyun?"
Ashina Jianyun looked at the big flag under the city, "Yang character flag?" This is an unfamiliar flag.
"General, there is no general named Yang under King Qin's command." "Who could that be?"
Yang Lue looked at the city in the middle of the army, and the strangeness he had not seen for a long time made him have mixed feelings.
How many years has it been since you joined the army?
Han Ji was by his side as an assistant on this trip.
Ever since he joined King Qin, Han Ji had never done anything like this, which shows how much King Qin valued Yang Lue.
This battle must be steady!
Han Ji pointed to the city head and said: "After Shi Zhongtang took control of southern Xinjiang, he promoted a large number of foreign generals, among whom Ashina Jianyun was the best. This man is cunning in his military use and is known as a fox."
He glanced at Yang Lue and was curious about this person's origin. "Fox?" Yang Lue squinted at the city head.
"The scout is back."
The scouts brought some bad news.
"Shi Ni's deputy, Wei Ming, led an army of 20,000 people in Songzhou. After Shangzhou, it was very annoying.
"No need to worry about this." Yang Lue rode his horse and started to observe around the city.
"That man looks very old, but he has never heard of it." Ashina Jianyun at the top of the city was watching Yang Lue.
"Pei Jian, why don't Jiang Cunzhong and others come?" Ashina Jianyun sneered, "Does King Qin look down on me?"
Yang Lue circled the city once and then came back. "Retreat."
The craftsmen are building siege equipment, and they cannot attack the city today. The Northern Xinjiang Army retreated and set up camp.
Han Ji accompanied Yang Lue on inspections in the camp.
In the cold wind, he suddenly laughed and said: "I am taking the liberty that Mr. Yang was serving at your majesty's side back then. I wonder what your majesty's temperament is like?"
This is a familiar topic.
Yang Lue's eyes were full of memories, "Gentle, yet majestic. Your Majesty is tolerant."
"The same is true for Your Highness," Han Ji said against his will.
Compared with the filial piety to the emperor that Yang Lue said, the King of Qin was more sharp. If the powerful people in northern Xinjiang refuse to accept it, then I will overwhelm you and you will accept it!
This kind of behavior is called a tyrant by the powerful people in northern Xinjiang. "Therefore, His Majesty's ambition has not been fulfilled.
Yang Lue said.
Han Ji was a little embarrassed, "Yes!" "How many years."
Yang Lue looked outside the camp and said, "The people around His Majesty have been wiped out by the pseudo-emperor and his son, and only the old guy like me is left. But the old guy should let the world see that we can still serve His Highness.
"
It was indeed heroic, but everything still depends on the subsequent fight. Han Ji said: "Shangzhou City looks like it has just been repaired. The city is much taller and is difficult to attack."
"The defenders in the city will resist stubbornly."
"Actually, many people say privately that His Highness is a little stubborn." "I feel that Your Highness is a little impulsive in killing all the rebels?"
"yes."
Yang's slightly dark face looked a little sad, "He suffered a lot in Yuanzhou in those years. When I learned about it later, what I was most worried about was that he would change.
He became cynical and extreme. But in the end, His Highness was still the same young man."
"What boy?"
"The boy who is willing to do anything for his ideals."
Yang Lue added silently: "He is what he calls a middle school boy."
At the same time, He Lianrong asked to see King Qin.
King Qin is making dinner.
Cooking a meal during his busy schedule was a good pastime for King Qin.
"Your Highness, I'm a humble monk."
Li Xuan stirred the soup in the jar and said, "Say."
He Lianrong said: "There is no doubt that Duke Yang is loyal to His Highness, but after all, he has not led an army in battle for many years. Should he send someone to assist him?"
"Han Ji is here."
Li Xuan took a sniff and was very satisfied with his cooking skills.
"There are a few military generals." He Lianrong hinted that it would be best to send a powerful military general to assist.
"Gu, believe him!"
King Qin's stubbornness was beyond He Lianrong's expectation. It was just like a kind of second-guessing in Yang Lue's eyes.
What he determined will never be undone!
A stubborn young man? Han Ji smiled bitterly. At this time, a general came to see Yang Lue.
"Mr. Yang, our army is camped on the side of the river. I am worried that the enemy will use the river to launch a sneak attack.
There must be a river around the city, otherwise drinking water will be a problem. There is a large river a few miles outside Sangju City, called Lingshui.
Yang Lue placed his camp on the edge of Lingshui River. Although it was convenient to get water, the river became an undefended place.
Yang Lue said: "I have my own reasons."
This is almost exactly the same as His Highness's stubbornness. Han Ji smiled bitterly again.
The night is dark.
Several black figures arrived at the foot of Shangzhou City. One of them raised his head and imitated a few birdsong, and then a rope hung down.
Several black figures climbed up nimbly. "Where is the general?" Ashina Jianyun came.
"General, the Northern Xinjiang Army has stationed troops at the edge of Lingshui River." Ashina Jianyun was startled.
"The water in Lingshui is so dark that you can't see the bottom clearly. The enemy general must have thought that Lingshui is quite deep and difficult to dive across. But he didn't know that there is a section of Lingshui that is shallow enough to cross on foot.
Ashina Jianyun turned around and said, "Let's explore again." "Take orders!"
The spies set out again.
Deputy General Chen Fang said: "General, this is a rare opportunity to attack at night.
"Wait a moment." Ashina Jianyun shook his head, "We need to see if there are ambushes on the left and right."
After more than an hour, the spies came back.
"The little people searched left and right along Lingshui River, but found no ambush."
"Good opportunity!"
Ashina Jianyun patted the city head, "It is said that the time, place and people are favorable. King Qin ordered an unknown person to attack our Shangzhou. Today I must let him know the absurdity of this move. Prepare to attack and tell Vice Wei
Let our army attack the enemy at night!"
While the six thousand cavalry quietly left the city, more than a hundred cavalry were dragged behind, and then turned and headed south.
Yang Lue slept for an hour and then woke up.
He opened his eyes and asked, "Is there anyone here?" There was a sergeant guarding him outside the tent, "The villain is here."
"Let the generals stand up and wake up the whole army without making any noise." "Yes!"
Later, the generals came yawning, and Han Ji came late. "It's really cold."
When everyone entered the tent, they saw Yang Lue sitting upright in the darkness. "I camped on the back of the river to lure the enemy."
Everyone was startled.
"I asked good swimmers to go into the water today and get a feel for the water conditions. The seemingly unfathomable cold water can be crossed on foot not far downstream."
A disciple of metaphysics was currently in his tent, shivering in several large cloaks. While drinking wine, he trembled and said, "Damn, it's so cold!"
"The rebels must know this.
Yang Lue said.
Is it possible for a person to be so profound?
Everyone was shocked.
"Ashina Jianyun is cautious," someone said.
"Someone was secretly investigating before and was discovered by my people." Yang Lue nodded to express that he knew about it and did not underestimate the enemy.
Two horned dragon guards stood behind Yang Lue.
The Qiu Long Guard was only responsible for protecting Li Xuan and his family. This time when Yang Lue went to battle, Li Xuan made an exception and sent a few to follow him.
Using the Qiu Long Guard to squat down is really overkill.
"In the follow-up, Ashina Jianyun will definitely cross the river and attack at night. Our army can wait silently. The infantry is ready to assemble, facing the direction of Lingshui. The cavalry is on both sides, just waiting for the fire to come out, and immediately outflank it from both wings."
Yang Lue looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, go and prepare!" "Take your orders!"
The generals retired and prepared.
Yang Lue knelt down and sat there, and said quietly: "In this battle, I have to show off to His Highness, and it must be clean and tidy.
Wei Ming camped more than 20 miles away from Liangzhou. He was woken up in the middle of the night.
"Deputy envoy, a messenger from Sangju's guard is here.
.”
Wei Ming tried to be more sober, "What's wrong with Ashina Jianyun?"
"The Northern Xinjiang army besieged the city. The general's surname is Yang, but I don't know his name."
"Yang's surname?" Wei Ming searched in his somewhat groggy mind. There seems to be no general named Yang under King Qin!
"The enemy camped with their backs to Lingshui, but they didn't know that there was a shallow section of Lingshui that could be crossed on foot. Ashina Jianyun set out for a night attack
"The plan is correct, but Yang's surname is "Yang Lue!"
A name flashed in Wei Ming's mind like a flash of lightning.
He fled from Chang'an with the infant King of Qin to Yang Lue in Yuanzhou, and then went to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. What happened next is unknown.
This person was originally the commander of the bodyguard who respected the emperor.
The King of Qin is acting favoritistically when a bodyguard leads the army!
Thinking of Shi Zhongtang's promotion of foreigners after he came to power, Wei Ming slapped his cheek and said, "I'm going to find out the news right away."
He immediately lay down, but he was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore.
Under the dim night, a group of people slowly approached Lingshui. "This is it." Someone said softly.
Ashina Jianyun waved his hand, and more than ten people quietly entered the water.
After a while, someone touched it back and whispered: "This is where you can cross the river."
"Get into the water!"
The sound of running water was loud, covering up the movement of six thousand men and horses crossing the river.
After landing, everyone was shivering from the cold. They quickly dried their legs and feet, put on their shoes, and slowly approached the camp.
Ashina Jianyun mounted his horse and drew his sword.
This place is not far from the main camp. Once the war horses accelerate, they will definitely be able to rush into the camp before the enemy can react.
Ashina Jianyun raised his long sword.
Various thoughts of being rewarded and famous all over the world flashed through his mind. Finally, he roared: "Our Southern Xinjiang Army
"Must win!"
Amid cheers, the rebels galloped on their horses.
Torches were lit one after another in the camp, extending all the way to the front.
Neat infantry were waiting in formation. Behind them, the crossbow array was in place. The crossbowmen raised their crossbows and pointed them forward.
This was already prepared.
The general named Yang has been waiting for him! "No!"
Ashina Jianyun screamed sadly.
In the camp, Han Ji and Yang Lue were getting close and asked about some past events. Yang Lue said on horseback: "When I joined the army, I thought I would be a soldier for the rest of my life, but who knew that I was transferred to His Majesty by a piece of paper."
So Han Jishun praised him and said, "I think Mr. Yang became very famous in the army back then."
"Back then, I was known as Yang Wudi in the army!"
