During the Pei Jiu period, the main battlefield between Northern Xinjiang and the Tang Dynasty was on the grassland before Taoxian County.
Chenzhou is just a partial teacher.
Tanzhou used three major divisions to contain Chenzhou's army, and they were able to do so with ease.
Therefore, Tanzhou has not experienced war for many years, and the soldiers and civilians are exhausted.
"Yang Gou is here."
At the top of the city, the soldiers looked at the approaching huge array with complicated expressions.
"Almost thirty thousand people!"
Xiao Manyan said: "Many of them should not be Chen Zhoujun."
"Servant army." He Lianrong also saw the servant army with disheveled armor and uniforms.
"Is that Yang Gou?" The envoy saw Yang Xuan under the banner.
Yang Xuan was surrounded by everyone.
"I didn't expect that one day the troops would arrive at Tanzhou City."
The generals in the army had tears in their eyes.
Chen Zhou has been bullied for too long.
At this moment, a kind of free flow of depression made everyone feel refreshed.
"The morale is like a rainbow!" Han Ji praised.
"Not enough!"
Yang Xuan waved, "Yaowu!"
Zhang Xu rode his horse and said, "Take the order!"
A group of cavalry rushed out, each man holding a flag in his hand.
Next came a group of horned dragon guards led by Zhang Xu.
"alert!"
The generals at the top of the city shouted.
Squeak!
The archers came forward.
The spear poked out of the crenel.
The messenger retreated quietly.
The cavalrymen casually dropped their flags.
The cavalry followed one by one, and the flags stretched on the ground...
"Yes...it's the flag of Yanbei City!"
Xiao Manyan took a deep breath and said, "Yanbei City is broken!"
The messenger stepped forward and looked out awkwardly.
The Horned Dragon Guard is here.
Zhang Xu rushed to the front and reined in his horse.
The warriors on horseback stood tall.
Zhang Xu raised his long sword high.
Chop hard.
The war horse neighed and stepped heavily on the flag.
"Wan Sheng!"
In the formation, the soldiers of Chenzhou Army raised their arms and shouted in excitement.
"Wan Sheng!"
Zhao Yong raised his arms and shouted in the array.
He glanced at the familiar position, but now it was the new team leader.
He raised his head and cheered, looking at the blue sky.
We arrived at the gate of Tanzhou City. Brother, did you see it?
In the sky, strong wind howled.
The big flag was blown loudly.
"Wan Sheng!"
The servants were also excited by the atmosphere and chanted along.
"Wan Sheng!"
Amidst the majestic shouts, a clear voice came.
Jiang He'er raised his arms high, and his sleeves slid down, revealing half of his tender lotus root-like arms.
He Lianyan looked at Yang Xuan with complicated eyes.
This is Tanzhou.
She once thought it would be the place where she would spend her whole life.
Unexpectedly, he would return again as an enemy.
"Wan Sheng!"
The soldiers gradually turned their attention to the big flag and cheered towards it.
Helianyan saw Yang Xuan smiling and raising his hand, responding to the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
The soldiers responded with even more vigorous shouts.
"Wan Sheng!"
Han Ji was thoughtful and whispered: "Lang Jun is becoming more and more popular among the soldiers."
The old thief said: "Treat others with sincerity and everything will be accomplished!"
Oh!
This hypocritical old ghost!
Han Ji glanced at He Lianyan and said, "That's a good thing."
"That's a good thing!" He Lianyan nodded.
These two are fringe figures in a small circle, and often join forces.
At the top of the city, He Lianrong whispered: "Yanbei, it's over!"
"Yan Biao is incompetent!" Xiao Manyan said.
The messenger asked: "What should we do now?"
"Be careful." He Lianrong said, "It's not that we are afraid of Yang Gou, but that our army is sitting in a strong city and there is no need to fight head-on with Chenzhou's army."
"First, let the Chenzhou army bleed into a river under the city, and its morale will be low. Huanghui and other places will send troops to harass the Chenzhou army in due course and disrupt the grain roads."
This is the most stable method.
The messenger thought for a moment and said, "It's almost a sure-win situation."
In Chenzhou's army, a group of infantry suddenly came out.
The one at the head is wearing the armor of a Northern Liao general.
"Who is that?"
"Someone has been captured!" Xiao Manyan said coldly: "Bend your knees to the people of the Tang Dynasty and make you..."
He Lianrong nodded, "Go back and find out where the family members are and capture them all!"
"I'm Yan Biao!"
Yan Biao shouted, "Yanbei is gone, He Lianrong is incompetent, but he wants to attack Chenzhou...Brothers, surrender!"
Yang Shijun said that if a person comes alone, he will be rewarded with a thousand coins.
Bring your subordinates down, and each subordinate will deduct two hundred dollars from you.
If you can capture or capture the generals and civilian officials, you will be heavily rewarded!"
"Shit!"
Seeing the commotion at the top of the city, Xiao Manyan ordered: "Bring the bed slave over here."
But before the bed slave could be moved into place, Yan Biao retreated.
Fight, or hold back?
Now this difficult problem was thrown to He Lianrong.
Until Yan Biao appears, there is no problem in being cautious.
After Yan Biao appeared, morale plummeted. If we remained cautious, morale would be further damaged.
Many times, morale, an indescribable thing, is just like some men’s interest. It comes and goes as fast as it comes!
Xiao Manyan shook his head, "Your Majesty, I think you can just sit back and watch!"
He Lianrong nodded, "Yang Gou wanted to anger me with this, but he underestimated me and the messenger."
The messenger chuckled.
He has suffered from this little flattery.
In He Lianrong's memorial later, there will definitely be content about the envoy remaining calm in the face of the battle and following him to fight bravely.
Everyone carries the sedan chair!
"This traitor!" The envoy looked at Yan Biao walking towards the banner and sneered: "His family members will become slaves."
Yan Biao walked to Yang Xuan's horse.
Kneel down.
chant:
"Yan Biao, I have met the master!"
boom!
The city exploded!
The Yanbei City guard was captured and knelt in front of Yang Gou. He knew what he was shouting without even having to listen.
After Pei Jiu left, Daliao began to suppress northern Xinjiang. As time went by, the soldiers and civilians of Daliao naturally developed a sense of superiority when facing the soldiers and civilians of Tang Dynasty.
But today, this sense of superiority was stepped on.
Being trampled!
Do you dare to attack?
Yang Xuan looked at the city head.
No movement!
"He Lianrong, you really have Sima Yi's style!"
"Who is Sima Yi?" Han Ji asked.
Yang Xuan said casually: "It turns out that there is an old man in the village who likes to run around wearing women's clothes."
"Eh!" Wang Laoer had goosebumps all over his body, "Disgusting!"
Jiang Heer pursed his lips, "No one at home cares about him!"
Yang Xuan said: "Retreat and set up camp!"
Nan He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take the order!"
"Lang Jun has shown off his power. If He Lianrong knew that our army had just broken Yanbei City and came here, he would definitely go out of the city for a decisive battle."
"I just deceived him into not knowing the truth and reality of our army, and gained the upper hand."
Chenzhou Army was already exhausted at this moment, but Yang Xuan took advantage of the information gap to give Tanzhou Army a showdown.
Successfully damaged the enemy's morale.
The army retreated and set up camp, leaving more than a hundred cavalry behind to tease the defenders.
Then hundreds of horsemen came out of the city and drove them away.
"Let's fight!"
The messenger said.
He Lianrong shook his head, "There's no rush."
"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Chenzhou's army to defeat them one by one?" the messenger sneered.
They had returned to the state house and were sitting around a table.
On the desk is a map.
The envoy pointed at Huanghui County and said, "What if Chenzhou's army attacks Huanghui County?"
Xiao Manyan said: "I have sent people to various places to deliver orders."
"What order?"
"You can't rely on a bed slave!"
"So, under the crazy attack of the servant army composed of the three major divisions, can Huanghui County resist?" the messenger said aggressively.
He Lianrong knew that the envoy did not want to return to Ningxing empty-handed.
He took a deep breath and said, "If they attack, I won't sit back and watch!"
"Okay!" The envoy stood up, "I'm just waiting for your words!"
He went out in high spirits, and his entourage followed him, saying in a low voice: "Just now, you were a little too forced."
The envoy said calmly: "Your Majesty wants to beat the emperor's uncle. If I treat He Lianrong with a pleasant look, am I dissatisfied with my longevity? Beating, beating, and persecution are beatings. Otherwise, what is the use of verbal harshness?"
The entourage lowered his head, "I'm afraid I'll be defeated if I rush out to fight..."
The messenger squinted at the gate of the state house in front of him, "Do you think I used my connections to get this job just to keep an eye on He Lianrong?
I don’t lack loyalty. But while being loyal, I also plan something for myself. Is it wrong?”
The entourage is his confidant, "Of course it is."
The messenger smiled, "What does the victory or defeat of the Tanzhou Army have to do with me? All I want is the lottery!"
In the duty room, Helian sat there for a long time.
"Will Yang Dog attack Huang Hui?"
Xiao Manyan nodded, "Yes!"
"What if our army attacks from a flank?"
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that battle. Yang Dog besieged the Yuhu Department, suddenly withdrew, and ambushed our army halfway."
This is Xiao Manyan's scar, and now I have to open it with my bare hands, and it's extremely painful.
"knew."
Xiao Manyan asked: "So..."
"wait!"
He Lianrong looked south.
"Xin Wuji, it's time to move!"
…
The army set up camp, and Yang Xuan immediately sent people to inspect the grain roads.
"Your Majesty, when will we attack the city?"
People will come to find out more about it.
"Don't worry, just rest first!"
Although morale is high, Chenzhou's army, which has just conquered Yanbei City, also needs repairs.
"There are 20,000 Tanzhou troops and 30,000 tribal warriors in the city. In addition, there are just some scattered ones... not worth mentioning."
Yan Biao knelt beside Yang Xuan and talked about the reality in Tanzhou City.
"Where is the messenger? What's his attitude?"
"I have never come into contact with the little messenger, but he looks quite calm."
"Calm down...I know."
Yang Xuan waved his hand.
Yan Biao prostrated, licking his boots religiously.
Yang Xuan felt a little disgusted, frowned and was about to drink, but Han Ji shook his head slightly.
Yang Xuan couldn't bear the nausea and asked: "Is it worth it for you to abandon your wife and children for two concubines? Are you willing to do so?"
Yan Biao kneeled down today and killed his wife and children... As long as He Lianfeng didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage, he would definitely treat his family as the lowest slaves.
"Your Majesty is merciful, and the villain is reluctant to return to Northern Liao. In this way, his wife and children will never be seen again in this life. And the only things he can see around him are two concubines and three children. The villain thinks, what can't be seen
After all, it is a luxury, it is better to cherish the people in front of you."
This man is so shameless.
Yan Biao was taken away, and Han Ji came over.
"Licking boots is a way of expressing complete surrender on the grassland. Isn't Mr. Lang used to it?"
"Do you feel comfortable having your boots licked with saliva?"
"So comfortable!" Han Ji also licked his lips, successfully making Yang Xuan sick.
"I'm afraid He Lianrong will be too cautious to come out," Han Ji said.
"It was expected, but if he doesn't come out, what will happen to Huang Hui County and other places?" Yang Xuan said lightly: "He has slaves, but I have almost ten thousand servants in my army.
Before being rewarded with military merit, these people will be brave enough to die.
Ten thousand people are not enough, so, will twenty thousand people be enough? Will thirty thousand people be enough!?
When I clean up everything around Tanzhou City, what can an isolated city do?
Even if we don't attack, He Lianrong will be ashamed if we just leave it there."
"The casualties of tens of thousands of people at every turn are shocking!" Han Ji praised: "Your Majesty has a powerful army in your hands now. In time, you will be able to be proud of the world."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Old Han, this person must have a goal in life, right? As a human being, you must pursue something, right?"
Yang Xuan used to pursue having enough food and eating meat.
After arriving in Chang'an, what I pursued was settling down and settling down.
“When I was in Chang’an, my biggest dream was to find a job to support myself and live like this.
Get married and have children, take care of your wife and children, and support them until you grow old...Looking at your family full of children and grandchildren, I feel...this is the greatest happiness.
After arriving in peace, all I wanted to do was drag this evil city with me to survive.
After arriving in Chenzhou, I suddenly realized that the world seemed to have become bigger."
Yang Xuan watched the sergeants busy, "I never thought I could command such a huge army in battle. But now that we are living like this, tell me, we must have a matching goal in life, right?"
Are you going to say it... Han Ji nodded, "Of course."
Yang Xuan held the handle of the knife and looked sternly.
"Lead the army to attack and take over the king..."
His voice gradually became deeper.
"Everything depends on God's will!"
The war in Northern Xinjiang is about to begin.
After this war, many changes will occur.
“Time waits not for us!”
Yang Xuan walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
He was thinking about this battle.
No matter how awesome you are, you still have to rely on real swords and guns to kill.
He was thinking about how to force He Lianrong out.
Beating is a must.
Conquer Huanghui County and other cities, and isolate Tanzhou City step by step.
The main force of the Tanzhou Army is in the city. Once they go to battle...
In this battle, Yang Xuan did not dare to guarantee victory.
But just as many people said during the expedition, even if he could not win, he could still bring Chenzhou Army back.
He thought hard.
The next day was uneventful.
On the third day, sporadic enemy troops attacked the grain road and were wiped out by the accompanying army, but dozens of carts were lost.
Yang Xuan didn't move.
The fourth day.
In Tanzhou City.
The messenger was a little impatient.
"There are 50,000 troops in the city, why don't you dare to attack the 30,000 Chenzhou troops?"
The envoy said dissatisfiedly: "Are you afraid of Yang Dog?"
He Lianrong looked up at the messenger.
"I'm never afraid of anyone!"
This is an essential quality for a frontier governor!
He Lianrong's eyes were bright, "I have been waiting for four days, not for Chen Zhoujun to rest, but for news!"
"What news?"
"wait!"
For the first time, He Lianrong failed to give the envoy face.
The messenger took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll wait!"
Late at night outside Tanzhou City, a black shadow flew past the Chenzhou Army camp.
"Someone!"
The conscientious sentry discovered the man.
But, immediately this person disappeared.
"So fast, what a good player!"
Yang Xuan got the news and said: "Don't worry about it!"
There are more than ten tents lined up on the side.
The Horned Dragon Guards opened their eyes and then closed them.
A black shadow floated up to the top of the city and stopped the sergeant.
"It's me!"
"Ye Gong!" The general on night duty held his hand.
"Um!"
There was a touch of coldness on a thin and simple old face.
Ye Song went all the way to He Lianrong's residence behind Zhouli.
He Lianrong was woken up from his deep sleep.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Ye is here."
"Hmm!" He Lianrong was stunned for a moment, put on a coat and went out.
Ye Song is outside.
"how?"
"Xin Wuji said that he would definitely give Yang Gou a fatal blow!"
