Yang Xuan urgently needs to know the enemy's deployment and movements.
The old thief came over with a grim smile, "Come here, I'll wait for you!"
The enemy general cursed: "If Yeye opens his mouth, it will be your grandson!"
"Hey!" Yang Xuan sighed.
At this time, you need someone to compliment you, but everyone is busy with their own affairs.
Wang Laoer asked: "Why do you sigh?"
The second child is still considerate!
Yang Xuan said: "Whatever you are missing, why bother shouting."
The old thieves tortured him in public.
It was said to be torture, but the instrument of torture was just a knife.
This knife dexterously drilled into the enemy general's muscle fibers, cutting them off from time to time, and then a piece of completed meat came out.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"You still refuse to say it?" The old thief was surprised, "He is a tough guy."
Wu Da squatted on the side and watched, pointed at the enemy general and said: "He is nodding."
The old thief pretended not to see it and continued to attack.
When he pulled out the cloth that blocked the enemy general's mouth.
"Yeah yeah spare your life!"
Wang Laoer squatted beside Yang Xuan and praised: "Lang Jun guessed it right."
Baixiong's deployment was quite satisfactory, and the main force was at the front, ready to seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Tang army.
The partial troops are on both wings and their whereabouts are currently unknown.
"Who makes the decision?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Hakuo!"
Yang Xuan wondered, "Isn't it said that the literati of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were all talented in both civil and military affairs and were born to be famous generals?"
This piece of writing was made famous by a certain big shot in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. When he was having a banquet and drinking marijuana in the palace, he pointed at a veteran general with outstanding achievements and said: "A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. I have been reading since I was ten years old.
After reading the military manual, if you lead the army into battle, I will treat you as a traitor!"
Han Ji smiled and said: "The dispute between civil and military forces has existed since ancient times. Such words are just bragging. However, it is obvious that Southern Zhou took it seriously."
"The Tang Dynasty is different." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty is all about civil and military affairs. Whoever is more powerful will go!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The enemy general was lifted up and slipped away. Here were all Yang Xuan's confidants. The King of Yue also knew what was interesting and took a few guards around the camp.
The old thief suggested, "Mr. Lang, how about we attack first?"
Raid warfare can damage enemy morale.
"This is also a credit!" said the old thief.
Yang Xuan looked at these confidants. Lin Feibao still looked indifferent and had no intention of getting involved in such matters.
"Old Han." Yang Xuan nodded.
Han Ji said: "I think the best response at this moment is to send out sentries. In addition, it's time for Lang Jun to send someone to ask for help."
"Asking for help?" The old thief was puzzled, "Zhang Huan's army is only a day's journey away from here. The enemy won't be stupid enough to attack at this time!"
Han Ji smiled, "Yes! They don't know how, but Lang Jun needs them to know how."
Old thief: "..."
The tradition of literati showing off their knowledge seems to have no regard for the world!
Yang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking of the literati in the scroll.
Show off, indeed, comes from the same origin.
Han Ji glanced at Tu Chang, "I said that Lang Jun has been in the limelight too much in this battle, which is not a good thing. After defeating the enemy's forward, Lang Jun has returned with a full harvest. If he shows his talent again..."
Yang Xuan said: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."
Han Ji praised: "Lang Jun's words are thought-provoking!"
Even Tu Shang thought about it carefully several times.
Han Ji said: "At this time, Lang Jun sent people to ask for help. In Zhang Huan's view, this is not a lack of ability, but an inability to do so. Everyone, although the northern and southern borders are enemies, many times, there are more
Isn’t it good to have a few friends?”
Everyone was silent.
Han Ji continued: "People's hearts are weird. I dare to say at this moment that most of the generals in the Southern Xinjiang Army are dissatisfied with Lang Jun.
Asking for help now, what would they think...
Hey! It turns out that this person is just like us, a mortal!
They will take pleasure in others' misfortune, and then they will feel that their husband is a little more kind.
Do you know why?
It's simple to say, who wants to see others oppressing him?
Everyone has a first-class thought, that is, others are inferior to themselves. At most, they can be equal to themselves.
This is the human heart. All planning is inseparable from the human heart, and I have quite a bit of experience in trying to figure out the human heart!"
A group of people were silent.
So the sound of Wang Laoer eating dried meat was particularly harsh.
"It's delicious." He looked up, very happy.
Han Ji pointed at Wang Laoer and smiled: "The only people in this world who don't care about this are simple-minded people like Laoer. But how many people like this are there?"
These words are quite shocking.
Yang Xuan looked at these confidants and knew that everyone had their own little thoughts.
The old thieves want to be versatile in both civil and military affairs, and want to compete for resources, such as leading armies in battles and making plans.
But Han Ji blocked his path to becoming a counselor.
Tu Chang's idea was relatively simple, he just wanted Wang Laoer to get ahead so that he could achieve a great career and get a high-level title.
Wang Laoer's way out is to become a general, but he conflicts with the old thief.
And Cao Ying, who insists on controlling political affairs, will probably have conflicts with Han Ji in the future.
As for Yi Niang, she devoted herself to looking after Yang Xuan's house and looking after the backyard.
Only the second child is the most considerate.
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little uninterested.
"Everyone, take a rest!"
Everyone is looking at him.
Waiting for his boss to give an evaluation.
Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Send someone to ask for help!"
Han Ji is right, even if it's an opponent, it's good to have some good feelings left behind.
The best way is to take the initiative to step down from the altar of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, so that the people in southern Xinjiang feel that they are all the same kind of people.
He entered the tent, and Jiang Heer, who was pretending to be a man, stood up and asked, "Mr. Sir, would you like some tea?"
"Have a drink!"
"good!"
Jiang He'er pulled open the covered charcoal fire, set up a small clay pot and started boiling water, and took out a tea cup to wipe it, busy non-stop.
But he looked very happy.
"Crane."
"Why!"
Jiang Heer glanced at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan asked: "What do you want to do in this life?"
Jiang He'er almost didn't think about it, "I act chivalrously and do justice, so that my good name will be spread in the world."
He is also a man of fame and fortune.
However, it is positive energy.
"Do you want me to find you a husband?"
There are many bachelors around Yang Xuan. This matter is the responsibility of the mistress, and Zhou Ning also has a headache for this.
Jiang He'er lowered his head, "No."
"Why?"
"..."
Yang Xuan felt that this was wrong, "But what did you Aye say?"
Jiang He'er nodded, "Aye said, let me follow Lang Jun."
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Sooner or later you have to get married!"
Jiang Heer lowered his head to make tea and suddenly spoke.
"Aye wants me to serve you."
Well!
Yang Xuan blinked his eyes.
"Don't you think this is selling a girl for glory?"
"Aye is a perfect plan."
"Still a talent?"
"Yes! Everything Aye said since childhood will happen."
"Don't you feel like you're at a loss?"
Jiang Heer bit his lower lip, "Yes!
Yang Xuan smiled.
…
"My lord, our forwarder Yang Shijun encountered an enemy group and sent for help."
"Oh! Speed up over there."
Zhang Huan's mood indeed improved.
"He will also ask for help?"
Chunyu was puzzled.
Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Even if we are defeated, we just retreat a little, and then report the encounter with the main force of the enemy.
Asking for help is a sign of weakness.
But a feeling of relaxation emerged spontaneously.
The army arrived and Yang Xuan told what happened along the way.
"You handled it well."
Zhang Huan praised.
The main forces of both sides appeared.
The atmosphere of war suddenly became stronger.
…
"Tang Jun is coming."
Nian Xu got the news.
"Zhang Huan led the army and was repairing it before arriving at Yongzhou."
Xie Yingong returned from Yongzhou again.
Nian Xu pondered for a long time, "What do you think will happen in this battle?"
Xie Yingong said: "The Tang army is 60,000, all of which are elites. Our army is almost 200,000. There are also many forbidden troops in Bianjing. However, Your Majesty, the forbidden troops have not fought for many years..."
"After all, it is an army built with constant training and money and food. Even if it has never seen blood, it can be reused with just a little polishing!"
Nian Xu felt that these words looked down upon the imperial army guarding Bianjing.
"Bai Xiong said that he will use the imperial army as a supplement in this battle..."
This is blatantly disrespectful to the emperor.
"I...get it."
Nian Xu could only endure it now.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Sun wants to see you."
Sun Shi came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, have you heard that the main force of the Tang Army is coming?"
"Yes." Nian Xu looked at this important minister whom he valued, with some hope in his heart, "Do you have any suggestions, Qing Sun?"
Sun Shi said: "Your Majesty, I think that Peng Jing and Fang Chong have never experienced battle formations, so it is inappropriate for them to lead the army. In this battle, the Tang army reached Yongzhou smoothly because of their incompetence. I suggest...change the commander!"
"
So, are you like this too... Nian Xu said lightly: "Who does Sun Qing think can defeat the Tang army?"
Sun Shi said: "I recommend Han Bi!"
Nian Xu was disappointed and said, "I'll think about it again."
Xie Yingong coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty is tired."
Sun Shi resigned.
After a long time, a faint voice came from the palace.
"What about the big picture?"
…
The army gathered together, and the daily consumption of food and grass was astronomical.
The food and fodder carried by the left route army became an unexpected surprise.
"Damn, there's still a lot of meat!"
Chunyu cursed and said: "Most of them are kept."
Shi Zhongtang said calmly: "If it were me, I would keep it."
Those are guest troops!
One sentence warded off all the accusations.
People came from thousands of miles away to help in the war, but they didn’t say what they wanted. Can you keep some of the good things you captured?
Even when the emperor comes, he has to say yes.
…
Yongzhou.
Peng Jing and Fang Chong summoned civil and military officials.
"The Tang army is coming." Peng Jing said with a cold face, "I don't need to tell you how important this battle is. Your Majesty is watching us in Bianjing, and all the soldiers and civilians in the world are watching Yongzhou. Whoever is too timid to fight will be the first to fight.
Retreat, kill without mercy, behead to death! There is no need to ask me for instructions."
Bai Xiong stood up and said, "Yes."
Fang Chong said: "The most important thing in this battle is morale. Your Majesty has allocated money from the inner treasury, and the Ministry of Revenue has also made a lot of efforts. You will be rewarded for your meritorious service. Whoever dares to show favoritism will speak out!"
The two bosses sang the red face and the white face, and the rest depends on Bai Xiong.
Bai Xiong said: "There is nothing fancy about this battle. It's just two armies facing off, and it's just killing. Whoever kills more people will win. There's no other way!"
What came out of the calm words was a bloody declaration.
Kill!
…
"There is nothing fancy about this battle." Zhang Huan also encouraged his subordinates, "Just one, kill!"
Zhou Zun held the document in his hand and said, "We still have food and grass, but it's best to start within ten days."
Launching a decisive battle within ten days is a bit hasty.
"Since this battle, our army has been united and our soldiers have sacrificed their lives, which is why we have achieved today's results. Now that the decisive battle is in front of us, I would like to warn all the soldiers in the army to be rewarded today for their meritorious service!"
"yes!"
These encouragements are as they should be.
After the meeting was over, Yang Xuan went to visit his father-in-law.
"The war is approaching, but I am thinking of home."
Zhou Zun's eyes became softer, "This is my first time to go on an expedition with the army. I saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as heroism and passion.
When I see these things too often, I can't help but think of my children and grandchildren at home. I think a lot. Last night, I dreamed of the watchdog at home. When I saw it, I would pounce on me affectionately."
Yang Xuan has already passed this stage, and the only thing he misses is his wife, Yi Niang and others.
"Tell me, why did this murderer Yingye come?" Zhou Zun suddenly asked.
"People have strife."
"Yes!" Zhou Zun said faintly: "But the conflict in the emperor's eyes should be in this world, and that one, the conflict in his eyes is just power and face."
Therefore, I can retaliate!
Weng and his son-in-law had a conversation, and before Yang Xuan left, Zhou Zun stopped him.
"If we lose..."
"My father-in-law, I will never be defeated!"
Zhou Zun shook his head, "I'm saying, if you lose, remember to go back. Don't worry about me, just go back. Aning needs you!"
It is correct to think about defeat before fighting.
But my father-in-law is actually making funeral arrangements.
Yang Xuan said softly: "My father-in-law, we will not be defeated!"
"So sure?" As the head of the Zhou family, the first consideration in major events is not the gains after victory, but how to bear the consequences of failure.
Otherwise, how could Zhou survive these years?
"This is the Tang Dynasty! My father-in-law!"
Yang Xuan's eyes became brighter, "The Tang Dynasty will not be defeated!"
This is a famous saying.
At that time, Emperor Wu endured the humiliation and accumulated strength. Then he ordered his general to lead his army to counterattack the Northern Liao Dynasty.
Before setting off, Emperor Wu used these words to encourage his soldiers.
"Yes! Datang will never be defeated!"
But these are the words of the emperor!
Boy!
Zhou Zun wanted to warn his son-in-law, but when he looked up, he had already run away.
He smiled and said: "It's great to be young!"
…
Many people have speculated on how this battle will break out.
Is it upright, or is it sudden...
The army rested for three days, and then Zhang Huan ordered the cavalry to go out.
"Provoke them."
These are Zhang Huan’s original words.
The cavalry from both sides fought several times, with the Tang army gaining the upper hand.
"Teach them a lesson!" Bai Xiong gathered more than ten thousand cavalry and set a trap.
When more than a thousand Tang army cavalry were chasing hundreds of Zhou troops, they fell into a trap.
There were enemy cavalry on three sides.
"withdraw!"
The leading general ordered the retreat without hesitation.
But it's a little late.
Bai Xiong personally sat in the rear and dispatched troops and generals.
At this moment, three thousand Northern Xinjiang cavalry suddenly appeared.
A big flag with Yang characters fluttering in the wind.
"Yang Gou is here!"
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Zhou Jun was startled, and his morale immediately dropped.
"Kill him too!" the leading general shouted.
"Old Huang!"
"exist!"
"Butcher!"
"exist!"
These are the two trump cards in Yang Xuan's hands, and he will definitely be at the forefront in every battle.
