When the prisoners saw Yang Xuan going out, they felt relieved.
Zhang Xu was a little puzzled and asked: "What is a vertical pole?"
The old thief chuckled, "Get a stake, sharpen the top, strip the person naked, and prepare it for the valley path. Once placed, the person will slowly fall in, but he will not die for a while, and the miserable howl will last for a long time."
Several Horned Dragon Guards looked at each other.
"How did Mr. Lang invent such a thing that makes one's hair stand on end?"
The prisoners began to confess...
Yang Xuan has arrived outside the city.
"Three hundred horsemen of the Tiger Control Division were cruising near Zhangyu County. They fought with the Zhangyu County cavalry and then fled away."
"Are there any casualties?" Yang Xuan asked.
The scout said: "Because I warned you in advance, one of the people farming was seriously injured."
"Gather a thousand riders and follow me."
The cavalry quickly rallied.
The Qiu Long Guard also followed quietly.
Yang Xuan turned around and looked, "One person is missing."
Nan He asked: "Who?"
"He Lianyan!"
After arriving in Lin'an, He Lianyan was placed on the reverse journey.
The weather was a bit humid, and He Lianyan stood in front of the window, staring outside in a daze.
The houses are continuous, and the tiles are all dark-colored. Because of the humidity, they look more vicissitudes of life.
She took a deep breath. The warm breath of spring did not bring her any joy, but made her depressed.
"He doesn't believe me."
He Lianyan knew that she had murderous intentions against Yang Xuan, which was why she was not allowed to be reused.
But now she is really desperate.
It was very difficult to escape in the Tang Dynasty. Without a road guide and household registration, it would be difficult for her to move.
Running to the grassland, where the weak and the strong prey on each other, her beauty is a sin and will attract countless coveted eyes.
Only at this moment did she realize how rare the emperor's uncle's protection was back then.
Even if I live under someone else's roof, I won't be so desperate.
"Yang Gou!" He Lianyan said through gritted teeth.
Knock knock knock!
"Who?" He Lianyan turned around cautiously and picked up the long knife.
A man's voice came from the door, "Lang Jun orders you to follow and attack!"
"who?"
"My husband!"
He Lianyan opened the door. Outside was Yang Xuan's guard, who said impatiently: "Hurry up!"
"Oh oh oh!" He Lianyan then tidied up and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived outside the city, Yang Xuan heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, turned around, and frowned: "Why is it so late?"
Somehow, after hearing these dissatisfied words, Helianyan felt completely at ease.
"Set off!"
…
Lin Sha is a grassland man through and through. He lost his parents when he was a child and has never had a name. Until he was twelve years old, the Tiger Control Department captured a group of people from the Tang Dynasty. Lin Sha followed the sergeant who guarded them to earn a living by doing miscellaneous work every day.
, I just like to talk to those Tang Dynasty people.
Those people of the Tang Dynasty had an indescribable temperament, gentle, and they could not feel a trace of the violence that was common on the grasslands, that is, the breath of beasts.
Lin Sha occasionally showed kindness and provided them with some conveniences, so these Tang people looked at him differently, and one of them even taught him how to read.
After some teaching, Lin Sha suddenly saw a new world.
He eagerly studied the knowledge from the Tang Dynasty, until one day Zhang Zhuo issued an order to execute these Tang people.
Some people are afraid to cry, some are in a daze, and some are smiling calmly.
"Son!" said the teacher who taught him: "Our fate has ended here. However, we must not stop studying. If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Datang. There are countless teachers who are more brilliant than me. They
It can take you to find a broader world."
Lin Sha was very grateful, sincerely grateful.
Then the sergeant who was guarding this group of Tang people came to him and asked him if he was willing to kill three people and join the army.
Joining the army means that from now on, someone will take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Of course Lin Sha was willing, so he found a long knife and entered the prison.
Seeing him coming, the husband said happily: "Just in time, I thought you didn't have a name, so I just thought about it for you, you..."
Lin Sha pulled out a long knife and stabbed the husband into the stomach.
Those Tang Dynasty people were in trouble.
"That's your sir!"
“Once a teacher, always a father!”
Mr. slowly knelt on the ground. Lin Sha smiled and said: "I am very grateful to Mr. for teaching me knowledge. Now the Khan has said that as long as I kill you, I can join the army. Sir, anyone who kills is killed. Why don't I kill you?"
, okay?"
The gentleman's face was twisted.
Lin Sha stirred the long knife, "What's your name? Say it and I'll spare you the pain."
"Lin...Lin Sha."
My husband's surname is Lin. Giving him this name actually means treating him as his own child.
"What a name!"
Lin Sha praised.
Someone scolded: "It is in vain that Mr. Lin loves you so much, you are such a wolf-hearted person."
Lin Sha waved his sword.
Immediately, he joined the Khan's army.
Because of his knowledge, Lin Sha quickly stood out under Zhang Zhuo, and to this day, he is already a general.
Three thousand cavalry, these are the elite cavalry dispatched by Zhang Zhuo this time.
The goal is very simple, which is to harass and disrupt spring plowing in Chenzhou.
More than two thousand riders stood silently.
Lin Sha stood on a small earthen bag with his hands behind his hands and said to his entourage: "The tillers have land, and the tillers are willing to pay taxes. This is the foundation of a strong country.
Only when the fields are productive and the people have surplus food will they be willing to have children.
When the children grow up, they will become sergeants, businessmen, and farmers, and create more things for Chenzhou.
Therefore, if you want to disrupt Chenzhou’s development, the first step is to disrupt their spring plowing!”
The entourage praised: "The general is very knowledgeable."
Lin Sha's eyes were dark, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lin."
He never regretted killing his husband. At that time, in order to climb up, he was willing to kill anyone except himself.
More than two hundred horses galloped in.
Approaching, the leading general said: "General, our army has tested Zhangyu County."
"How?" Lin Sha raised her eyes and looked into the distance.
"It's quite sharp, but it doesn't have enough troops."
"Chenzhou is big and empty!" Lin Sha smiled and said: "I have three thousand elite troops to attack us. Unless Yang Xuan can keep an eye on us, the more than a thousand cavalry under his command will be exhausted."
The attendant asked: "General, can Yang Gou attack?"
Lin Sha nodded, "Farming is the primary concern of local officials, and it is also the primary assessment in the Shangguan assessment. How can Yang Xuan sit idly by if his official career is going smoothly?
But we moved east and west, leaving him at a loss. In the end, we had to divide our forces. Once he is alone, I will lead you and others to attack with all our strength, and the great success... will be easily achieved!"
"The general is brilliant!"
Lin Sha mounted his horse and pointed forward, "Follow me and break Yang Gou's backbone!"
…
Yang Xuan rushed to Zhangyu County with more than a thousand cavalry.
Du Hui led the officials to meet him.
The old thief muttered, "Why does this Du Ming Mansion look so resentful?"
Uda said: "He has a daughter who is still picky when she is older. She has not married yet. I guess it is because of this!"
"Then why not give it to Mr. Wang?" Wang Laoer said with a smile.
"How?" Yang Xuan asked as he dismounted.
Du Hui stepped forward, "Three hundred cavalry fought with us. They were very fierce and energetic. But they retreated very quickly."
"This is a test." Yang Xuan patted the saddle, and the war horse whined.
"The enemy troops are heading north." Du Hui went to the direction of Tanzhou.
"It means there is a large group of enemy troops over there." Yang Xuan smiled, "I have to do my best to deal with the attack of three hundred cavalry."
"If there is an attack, the enemy will definitely divide their troops." The old thief held a small book in his hand and expressed his opinion seriously.
"I've made progress." Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
The old thief was ecstatic, but he pretended to be calm.
"Old thief, you are so proud!" People with simple minds have very keen intuition, and Wang Laoer saw the old thief's gibbering.
"No way!" the old thief said calmly: "Lang Jun often said that using soldiers is like cooking. Don't be impatient, otherwise the food will taste bad."
"Then why are you shaking?" Tu Chang said coldly.
"Are I shaking?"
"See for yourself."
The old thief lowered his head and said, "It's cold."
"You have kidney deficiency." Wang Laoer said straightforwardly: "Find a wife! In case you have no friends."
The old thief sneered, "I am a man who wants to be a general. How can I take advantage of those vulgar fans?"
Everyone followed him into the county town.
The map was spread out on the table. Yang Xuan took a look at it and then closed his eyes, seemingly taking a nap.
Everyone was silent, not daring to disturb him.
After a long time, Yang Xuan opened his eyes and said, "This is a harassment battle. Our army has insufficient cavalry, so we cannot deal with it."
Du Hui frowned, "Spring plowing is about to begin. If the news of the enemy's harassment spreads, how can those farmers dare to go out? If we miss the spring plowing, this year will be over!"
Xie Ru, the county magistrate, cautiously raised his hand to Yang Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should avoid it for the time being! Otherwise, only one farmer will die and the others will panic."
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Chenzhou is the front line of the Tang Dynasty facing the Northern Liao Dynasty. Avoiding the battle will only boost the enemy's morale and undermine our army's confidence."
He knocked on the table and everyone sat upright.
"The plan for a year lies in spring, which can determine the fortune of the year."
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
"How come I, Chenzhou, and my Northern Xinjiang have been able to block the powerful Northern Liao army all these years? Is our Northern Xinjiang army so powerful that the Northern Liao people are helpless?"
Yang Xuan looked at everyone, "No."
“After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Northern Liao invaded frequently and acted arrogantly, thinking that they could trample the new Central Plains country to death with one kick.
Emperor Wu then launched a counterattack, and the first battle shattered the confidence of the Beiliao people.
From then on, only people in the Tang Dynasty dared to face the north.
This is a burst of anger, can it be vented? No!"
Yang Xuan's eyes were bright, "This spirit has always been there, so I, the Northern Territory, have to fight alone to stop the arrogant Northern Liao cavalry. Once this spirit dissipates, it will be the decline of our Northern Territory!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Even if He Lianrong personally leads the army, I will face this battle head-on. Even if I cripple the Chenzhou family, I will tell the Liao people on the other side.
Northern Xinjiang should not be taken lightly!
Chenzhou cannot be humiliated!"
Everyone suddenly agreed, "Chenzhou cannot be humiliated!"
The morale is like a rainbow!
Lin Feibao stood on the side, watching his husband calmly mobilize the morale of the officials, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Your Majesty, your husband is so resolute and has the appearance of a wise king!
"Du Hui!"
Yang Xuan said in a deep voice.
Du Hui stood up and saluted, "I'm here!"
"Zhang Yu's cultivated land is concentrated in the west. You lead Zhang Yu's cavalry to cruise and attack the enemy's cavalry."
"Take orders!"
"Nan He!"
"The official is here!"
"You lead five hundred cavalry forward to find out where the enemy's main force is."
"Take orders!"
In this way, Yang Xuan still has 700 cavalry under his command.
The county town, which was bustling with people just now, suddenly became quiet.
"Old Wang, don't you go out to plow the fields?"
Two farmers meet.
Lao Wang shook his head, "It is said that there are many cavalry from the three major divisions, and those cavalry are very fierce! If they leave the city, they will be dead. Alas! Without farming, it will be difficult for a family to live, and farming will soon be impossible.
Oh my God, what should I do if you make me wait?"
"How about tightening your belt?"
"I'm already tightening my grip. I just drink some clear soup and water every day. When the weather gets better, I'll get some wild vegetables and dry them in the sun. I'll see if I can get through this year."
"Next year... I don't know what will happen next year."
Yang Xuan stood behind the two of them with his hands behind his hands. Lin Feibao said: "I have been in Chang'an all year round, but I didn't know that Northern Xinjiang was already like this."
"How was it back then?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Back then, Pei Jiu led the Northern Xinjiang Army, so that Northern Liao did not dare to take a step forward." Lin Feibao sighed: "At that time... the people were strong and the horses were strong, and the people walked on the street with their heads held high."
"There will be such a day!" Yang Xuan added silently in his heart: "Definitely!"
"Pei Jiu...it is said that his cultivation is unfathomable. How does it compare with you?" Yang Xuan had heard about Pei Jiu and yearned for such a hero.
Lin Feibao thought for a while, "If Pei Jiu is the strongest, I will not be able to defeat him."
Why!
Yang Xuan has always wanted to have the strongest force, but now it seems that it is a luxury.
"But it's almost done."
Yang Xuan said with a straight face, "I'll finish talking later."
"yes!"
When Emperor Wu was forced to abdicate by Li Yuan and his son, and Pei Jiu entered the palace alone, Emperor Wu treated him with wine. A glass of wine and the word "alive" expressed the love between the emperor and his ministers.
"Li Yuan and his son were despicable and shameless, and people were surprised. But Pei Jiunai, a famous commander, couldn't see these devious tricks? He led his guards to the front of the imperial city, and flew away with a knife in the air. The city was shaken. Then he committed suicide."
"Hero, hero!"
When Pei Jiu is mentioned, everyone will give a thumbs up and praise him as a hero.
Then came the father and son.
Despicable and shameless!
The two of them walked up to the top of the city.
Some sneaky enemy scouts can be seen in the distance.
"I'm afraid the enemy will divide their forces." Lin Feibao said.
"I just want to wait for him to divide his troops!"
The news came the next day.
"More than a thousand enemy troops are heading towards Lin'an."
Most of Lin'an's troops are infantry at the moment. Once they are harassed by this group of cavalry, they will be at a loss what to do.
You can't use infantry to chase cavalry. As long as you run for a few days, and then a surprise attack, no matter how many infantry you have, they will be killed by the sword.
Therefore, troops must be sent to support.
"Old thief!"
The old thief stood up and took a deep breath, "The villain is here!"
All the officials in Chenzhou call themselves Xiaguan, and the more friendly people around me call themselves me.
The only ones who call themselves villains are old thieves.
"You lead five hundred horses forward." Yang Xuan looked at him, "Be careful of enemy ambush on the road."
"Take orders!"
The old thief led the army with a glowing face.
"But Zhang Yu is empty!" Xie Ru kowtowed and begged, "There are only two hundred horses left by your side. It's not appropriate!"
