The eight hundred elite cavalry led by Yang Guo had left the fighting zone between the two sides and began to attack deeper into the grassland. Along the way, Yang Guo annihilated five more Mongolian cavalry, which also made Yang Guo even more confused.
Obviously the east is the main battle area between the two sides, so the presence of so many rangers in the west is obviously abnormal.
Daqian's cavalry attack tactics were already very proficient, and its commander was a famous general of Daqian, Liang Wang Chahan Timur. With his ability, it was impossible for him to make such a meaningless action.
There will definitely be action in the west of Daqian! What is there in the west?!
After careful analysis through the map, Yang Guo deduced two possibilities:
First, Daqian wanted to bypass Qin Yiyan's defense through a large detour and attack the left wing of Tiance's army.
This is the most likely reason at present. The large roundabout strategy is also one of the commonly used tactics in Mongolia. It is reasonable for Chahan Timur to want to use this strategy to deal with Tiance's army.
Of course, in Yang Guo's view, the effect of this strategy was not significant. Li Chengen was a famous general in the world, and on his flanks were not only Qin Yiyan's men, but also many roving teams.
If Yuan Meng's large group of troops approaches, they will be discovered. It would be difficult to attack Tiance's army by sneaking around.
The second is what Daqian thinks about Cangyun Pass.
Cangyun Pass is the main entrance to the pass. If Cangyun Pass can be breached, then Daqian can take the strategic initiative.
But Cangyun Pass is the most important pass in the world. One man can guard the pass and ten thousand people cannot open it. It also has secret weapons such as secrets and mysterious crossbows to defend the city. If you want to storm Cangyun Pass, you will need human lives to fill it. This is better than sneaking up on Tiance's army. The flanks are still nonsense.
But for the sake of caution, Yang Guo still informed Cangyun to pass.
Yang Guo then called for six cavalrymen and divided them into two teams, "You three will hand this information to the Chinese army camp immediately!"
"promise!"
"The three of you, hurry to Cangyun Pass immediately! Tell General Lin Wuya to be careful and guard against a sneak attack by the Daqian Army."
"promise!"
After sending the messenger, Yang Guo also breathed a sigh of relief.
The deputy on the side asked, "General Yang! What should we do now?!"
Yang Guo thought for a moment. Although the eight hundred cavalry under his command were elite, they had little impact on the battle situation. On the contrary, it would be more valuable to go deep behind the enemy lines and find out the enemy's movements.
A small group of cavalry, the combat unit is not large, and they are all good horses in the army. They are extremely mobile and can come and go like the wind!
Even if he is discovered deep behind enemy lines, he can still escape with Daqian's cavalry.
"I want to go deep into the grassland and see what Daqian's soldiers and horses are doing!"
"But attacking without permission violates military law!" Yang Guo's deputy said worriedly.
The military order they received this time was just to patrol the flanks and guard against the enemy.
"Don't worry, Old Wang! I have thought about it a long time ago. How about we divide the eight hundred cavalry into two! You lead five hundred people and continue to cruise on the left flank of the army to protect the central army! I will lead three Bai Jingqi continues to go deep into the grassland to see what these Yuan Meng people are doing!"
Yang Guo was parachuted into the Tiance Army with a document issued by his subordinates, and he entered the realm of Yuanhua at a young age. In addition to his outstanding military exploits, he was quite prestigious in the army.
Looking at the young man beside Yang Guo who was eager to try, Wang Xiaowei knew that it was useless to persuade him!
"Then Vice General Yang, why don't you bring five hundred people? Three hundred people will be enough to patrol the flanks of the army!"
Yang Guo shook his head, "No need! The more people we have, the bigger the target will be! I'm not here to attack the city! Once we discover the movements of the army! We will return immediately!"
After resting for half an hour, the eight hundred people divided into two groups and set off!
----------
Yang Qingyuan stayed in Yuezhou for three days and found that nothing happened without him!
Pursuing the Japanese pirates and exterminating the remnants was the job of General Yu Longyou; appeasing the people and repairing the county seat was the job of the governor of Yuezhou.
Yang Qingyuan played with Wang Shouren for two days and then bid farewell to Wang Hua.
And Wang Hua's child has been born, and he also needs to go to Yangzhou to take up his post.
It was not so urgent originally, but now that something like this happened, Wang Hua had to go to Yangzhou immediately to deal with it.
Previously, Wang Hua also reported the matter to the cabinet through Liubaili Express.
Colluding with Japanese pirates and attacking and killing court officials, these two things were separate and they were both major crimes to prove the Yi tribe. Now the two are put together, and it is a major case that shocked the government and the public!
Especially in such a world of high martial arts, the role of warriors is greater than imagined, which makes civil servants feel very insecure!
Especially three or four years ago, desperadoes often killed county magistrates and robbed jails.
Therefore, after the emperor came to power, not only did he not abolish the original four intelligence agencies, but he also added Shenhou Mansion and Xichang to strengthen the court's control over the world.
In recent years, Yang Qingyuan's crackdown on evil and evil in the capital area has achieved certain results, which has improved the public security in the capital area and allowed people in the world to see the determination of the imperial court.
But now that something like this happened again, the cabinet center was furious.
Who is Wang Hua?! He is a person favored by the four bachelors and Emperor Zhou. Even his political opponents recognize Wang Hua's talent.
Today, he dares to collude with Japanese pirates to assassinate the fourth-rank official of the imperial court. Will he dare to seize the mountain and become the king tomorrow and raise an army to rebel?!
The cabinet announced to the Emperor of the Tomorrow that Li Xunhuan, the imperial censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was appointed as the imperial envoy, and the envoy of Yangzhou was deposed. Duan Tianya, Shangguan Haitang, and Shenhou Mansion were in charge of protecting Longshan Villa. Lengxue ordered them to investigate the case and granted Shang Fang. Horse-killing sword! Officials of seventh rank and below can be killed first and then played!
Sent out four of the top masters in the Yuanhua Realm in one go, and ordered the six sects of Yangzhou to cooperate, showing the determination of the court and the cabinet!
No one who dares to openly oppose the imperial court can escape!
The imperial envoy was coming. As the governor of Yangzhou, Wang Hua naturally had to go to his post immediately to deal with various affairs. He happened to be on the road with Yang Qingyuan who was setting off northward!
"Brother Dehui, the water in Yangzhou City is not shallow and it is difficult to control it!"
Wang Hua had a calm expression, "Brother Yang has already opened the game for me. It's such a good move for me to play. Naturally, I have to be more cautious. I can't live up to these great opening gifts for me!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under Wang Hua's plain face, there is a burning anger in his heart.
Compared to Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan, Wang Huacai is as gentle as jade and a humble gentleman in the strict sense.
But this is only on the surface. As one of the leaders of the first and third factions of Yong'an, Wang Hua's strong will and deep planning are not inferior to Yang Qingyuan's, and he even surpasses him in political methods.
The Three Heroes of Yongan, everyone is like a dragon!
This time someone directly endangered his life, as well as the lives of his beloved wife and newborn child.
A humble gentleman also has the wrath of thunder!
Repay kindness with kindness and repay evil with kindness.
When Wang Hua came to Yangzhou, he wanted to catch all these moths and thieves in one go!
Yang Qingyuan sent Wang Hua all the way to the governor's mansion, and then he felt relieved and left Yangzhou.
Originally, he could have stayed to help Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan, but now the first and third departments have been robbed, and it is at a low point.
Although the first and third factions have been favored by the emperor in recent years, they also have many political enemies.
There are only so many positions in the imperial court. If you take them, others will lose them! So Yang Qingyuan also had to be careful.
Now that Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan are in charge of the case, if Bachelor Yang Qingyuan from the Wenhua Palace is also involved, the act of forming a clique seems too obvious.
Therefore, after ensuring Wang Hua's safety, Yang Qingyuan took Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin and continued northward!
Regarding matters in Yangzhou, Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan are enough.
This time he won't get involved!
---------------
The three of them took a boat all the way north along the canal!
In seven days, we arrived at Jiyang County from Yangzhou.
"Master, this canal is really convenient!"
Although Lin Xuemin doesn't like taking boats, she has to admit the convenience of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
"Yes! This Grand Canal is indeed beneficial to the present day and will serve the future!"
The Grand Canal starts from Yuhang in the south and reaches Yancheng in the north, passing through Yuezhou, Yangzhou, Qizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. It connects the water system and runs through the north and south. It not only enables the prosperity of agriculture and commerce along the coast, but also promotes the development of the north and south. comminicate.
"Looking at it this way, the former Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty who dug the canal cannot be regarded as a foolish emperor!"
Zhou Zhiruo on the side was puzzled after hearing this, "Isn't the former Sui Yang Emperor the king of subjugation?! Why is he not mediocre!?"
Yang Qingyuan did not refute directly, but just smiled and said, "Where did Min Min see this?!"
"I used to like to read some casual books at home, and I bought another miscellaneous book on the shore a few days ago!"
As she spoke, Lin Xuemin took out a book from the side and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the cover and the signature under it. All he could see was the signature, which said, "To put things right, I just hope that history will appear in the world!"
"What a loud tone!" Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle, flipping through a few pages and closing the book.
"Min Min! It's a good thing to be well-read and dare to question, but you must not be blind to the truth."
"Master means that what is written in this book is all nonsense!" Although Lin Xuemin is smart, she is only a young woman after all.
"The nonsense is not accurate. It should be said that it is a nonsense that is used to gain favor and attract people's attention!"
Seeing that his disciple was still confused, Yang Qingyuan knew that today he must teach her the way of a teacher and give her a good lesson.
"Do you think the canal along this road was dug by the former Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty?!"
"Isn't it?!" Lin Xuemin felt that her original knowledge system was about to be impacted.
"There are four sections of the canal dug by Emperor Yang, namely Tongji Canal, Han (hán) ditch, Yongji canal, and Jiangnan river. Among them, Tongji canal was dug as early as the pre-Qin period, and it was called Bian canal.
In the later Han Dynasty, the Yang Canal was dug and the Bian Canal was dredged and renovated. Emperor Yang dredged the Bian Canal and Yang Canal; the Hang Gou was dug by the order of King Wu Fucha in the pre-Qin Dynasty to connect the two major rivers and the Huaihe River.
Big river.”
Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin were fascinated by Yang Qingyuan's temporary small class.
"As for the Yongji Canal, which was dug by millions of people during Emperor Yang's expedition to Jizhou in the fourth year of the Great Cause, it diverted the Qinshui River and reached Yuhe in the south and Yancheng in the north. It was also built on the basis of the predecessors. The last section of the Jiangnan River
, it was even built by a series of people including Fu Chai, King of Wu, the First Emperor of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and Soochow Wu in the Later Han Dynasty. What Emperor Yang did was just dredge it up on this basis. It is indeed an exaggeration to attribute all the credit to Emperor Yang!"
"But isn't the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal also very useful?!"
Yang Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "Minmin is wrong again! The canal we are using now was dug again after Taizu of this dynasty founded the country. Luozhou River and Huitong River were dug successively to connect Jingu to Yangzhou.
The channels of various natural lakes and rivers are thousands of miles shorter than the canals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The original river channels have almost been abandoned!"
Lin Xuemin felt that her outlook on life had been impacted.
"Furthermore, if Emperor Yang really wanted to connect the north and the south, he would be considered an extraordinary man of courage, but he was more motivated by his own selfish interests. According to the "Book of Sui", after digging the canal, Emperor Yang ordered the construction of
There were tens of thousands of dragon boats, tower boats and other boats. When they arrived at Jiangdu, they led one to two hundred thousand people including kings, hundreds of officials, concubines, and maids. The fleet was more than 200 miles long, passing through prefectures and counties with a radius of
We have to contribute food within five hundred miles, which makes people's livelihood miserable and makes the people miserable!"
Lin Xuemin wanted to say something else, so Yang Qingyuan continued to add, "This historical fact is not only recorded in the "Book of Sui Dynasty: The Benji of Emperor Yangdi", but also can be corroborated by the county annals of various states and counties, and the writings of various wild historians."
Moreover, the editor-in-chief of "Book of Sui" is Wei Baice, the former Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of character does this guy have?!
Before he died, he did not forget to compile the letters of advice he gave to Emperor Taizong Wen into a volume and gave it to the historians, hoping to pass it on to future generations. Emperor Wen was so angry that he pushed down his tombstone and it was not restored until several years later!
With such a character and conduct, he would not tamper with history books and deliberately discredit Emperor Yang.
Then Yang Qingyuan looked at the book he threw on the table.
"You must know that the reign of Emperor Wen was comparable to the reign of Wenjing in the early Han Dynasty. Such a strong family was completely destroyed by Emperor Yang in one day."
Even if a pig is only responsible for stamping the seal every day on the throne, the former Sui Dynasty will not die in the second generation.
"Those who want to overturn the verdict of the former Sui Yang Emperor must be either stupid or evil!"
Seeing the stunned expressions on Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Xuemin's faces, Yang Qingyuan was overjoyed. He is a really qualified teacher!
Not long after Teacher Xiao Yang finished her class, the boat docked!
"Sir, Tai'an County is ahead!"
"Thank you boatman!"
Yang Qingyuan took his luggage and two apprentices and got off the ship.
"Master, are we going to Mount Tai?!"
Yang Qingyuan nodded. He wanted to visit the Five Mountains and create another sword technique based on the Five Mountains sword technique!
First go to Mount Tai, then go all the way west to visit Mount Song, climb Mount Hua, and finally go north to Mount Heng to see all the five mountains!
"Brother Qingyuan! We had an enmity with the Five Mountains Sword Sect at Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Banquet! Will the Taishan Sword Sect be displeased if we go to Mount Tai rashly like this!?"
Zhou Zhiruo's thinking dimension is still in the world of martial arts.
Yang Qingyuan didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry! I'm not sure about other places, but it's not the turn of a Taishan sect to call the shots in Taishan!"
Where is Mount Tai?!
It is the only place where the Five Sacred Mountains are honored and where emperors enshrine Zen.
In ancient times, Emperor Huang once climbed Mount Tai, and Emperor Shun once patrolled Mount Tai.
Starting from the first emperor of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the later Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang of the later Han Dynasty, Emperor An of the later Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the former Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zhou, and Emperor Xuanzong of the former Tang Dynasty all went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices.
Do you, the Taishan sect, want to monopolize a place like this?! Do you think that the sword of the imperial court is disadvantageous?!
The three of them bought horses and headed towards Mount Tai.
