Chapter 226 Yang Yans anger, does he really think Li Mu is omnipotent?(
repair)
The palace and the city.
Because Wang Ben left with 30,000 troops, Yang Yan led 20,000 Qin troops and continued to besiege Yanyu.
If it were in the past, Yang Yan might have gathered his troops at a city gate and deliberately asked the Zhao army in the city to evacuate. Qin would seize the city and Zhao would lose his territory but save his people. There was no need for the two sides to fight to the death.
However, this time they came to prepare to destroy Zhao, so the defenders in the city had only two options, either to leave the city and surrender, or to be besieged in the city.
In short, we can't let him go.
Inside the Qin army camp.
A Qin general held a long sword and stood ready to guard against the Zhao army in the city.
Yang Yan, who was in the camp, was looking at the map with a group of generals in the tent.
Even though Bai Yan's order was to besiege, if there is a chance, it would be best to capture Lan and the city. As a general, no one wants to make meritorious service, but it is difficult to capture the city of Lan and the city.
"General, according to the distance, General Wang Jian will arrive at Yanyu in one day!"
Yang Yan's deputy general, Lu Jun, looked at the map and said.
After finishing speaking, Lu Jun looked at Yang Yan, who was wearing Qin armor and carrying Jue Bian. His meaning was very clear. If they wanted to capture Yanyu, one day would be too short.
After General Wang Jian leads the army to Lanyu, Lanyu will definitely be defeated. After all, Lanyu, a very important place in the Zhao Kingdom, was personally conquered by General Wang Jian and led the army seven years ago.
Inside the tent.
Yang Yan listened to the deputy general's words and did not answer in a hurry. However, on his angular cheeks, his brows wrinkled unnaturally and he looked straight at the map.
It was impossible to say that he was willing. Yang Yan knew clearly that Wang Jian asked him to follow Wang Ben to attack Yanyu because of the Yang family and because he was a descendant of the Yang family, he was promoted and allowed him to take the credit for conquering Yanyu first.
However, something unexpected happened to his father in Yingchuan County, which caused a series of reactions, which ultimately affected his attack on Yanyu.
"General! Zhang Sui is back!"
Outside the camp, a Qin soldier came in to report.
Hearing this, Yang Yan frowned.
"Let him in quickly!"
Yang Yan said hurriedly.
After the words fell, after Qin soldiers went out, a man in cloth entered the camp.
"General!"
The man is Zhang Sui, Yang Yan's confidant.
In fact, Zhang Sui was Yang Yan's confidant, but Zhang Sui was different from other confidants because Zhang Sui was in his thirties or forties and was not good at martial arts.
The real reason why he was Yang Yan's confidant and came to Zhao State with Yang Yan this time was that Zhang Sui was a disciple of Yang's house. Because he had some skills, Yang Ruihe arranged for Zhang Sui to come to Zhao State.
Military camp, and stay with Yang Yan.
Among the generals in the military camp, everyone is well aware of the matter of bringing the retainers with the army to fight the war and letting the retainers wear Qin armor, and will not speak out about it. Even the commander-in-chief of an army will acquiesce to this.
After all, as long as they put on armor and keep their mouths shut, other ordinary soldiers have no way of knowing where they come from.
If a follower of the army gives advice to his master, and then his master reports it to the general, and when the time comes to defeat the enemy, everyone will benefit, including the general.
As for the management of these disciples, the general does not need to worry, because the people he brings will be watched by himself, and he will be responsible for anything that happens. For example, during a war, they are not allowed to leave the camp easily. If the disciples leave the camp, the one who is most worried is not the general, but the general.
He is the general who leads people into the camp.
After all, if a retainer rebels against the enemy, the person who brings the retainer into the military camp will be labeled as a traitor, and even the family may be implicated.
Inside the tent.
Yang Yan saw Zhang Sui returning.
"how?"
Yang Yan asked.
Previously, Yang Yan asked Zhang Sui to go to Yan and the city to try to persuade the generals in the city to leave the city and surrender.
I wonder if Yang Yan's eloquence can convince General Zhao.
"The general, Zhao You, saw that our Qin army was divided into 30,000 troops and cavalry heading towards the direction of the well. Zhao You had already guessed that Li Mu might have led the Zhao army south, so he would rather defend than surrender."
Zhang Sui raised his hands to Yang Yan and said.
Because he went to Lian and the city to work as a lobbyist, Zhang Sui was dressed in common clothes at this moment and was not wearing Qin armor.
With a sigh, Zhang Sui looked helpless.
Going to Huanyu to work as a lobbyist just now was an opportunity for him to make a comeback as a retainer.
As long as he, as a retainer, made contributions to the Qin army during the war, Yang Yan would be able to promote him and return to Qin in the future, whether he held a small position in the army or became a governor, it would be easy to arrange.
It's a pity that Zhao You is too stubborn and there is really nothing he can do.
"Then since Zhao You already knows that I have 30,000 Qin troops and cavalry to resist Li Mu, he still dares to defend? Does he know that General Wang Ben is here?"
After Yang Yan understood Zhang Sui's words, his only expectation disappeared and was replaced by a look of warmth and anger.
"I have informed Zhao You and said frankly that General Wang Jian will arrive in Yanyu tomorrow!"
Zhang Sui raised his hands and said.
Zhang Sui's words completely made Yang Yan furious. He looked at the layout in front of him and the current situation with clear shortcuts.
"Does Zhao Jun really think that Li Mu is omnipotent?"
Yang Yan shook his head slightly, with a hint of anger in his words.
Looking at the road leading to Yanyu from the well on the map, Bai Yan and Wang Ben had led their troops to guard the nearest road. No matter how powerful Li Mu was, it was impossible to defeat 30,000 Qin troops and more than 10,000 troops in two days.
Iron cavalry, not to mention General Wang Ben sitting in command.
One day later, General Wang Jian led his army to arrive here. As long as General Wang Jian arrived, Li Mu would not dare to send troops to attack easily, and Yan Yu would be defeated by then.
Under such circumstances.
Yan and the guard general Zhao You actually insist on defending. Do you really think Li Mu can save him?
Looking at the map, Yang Yan tried to calm down and analyzed that even if Li Mu led the Zhao army south, they would be blocked by Wang Bi and Bai Yan's armies in the mountains.
There are no roads through the mountains in other places. Even if Li Mu saw General Wang Ben, it would be too late to take a detour from the north. General Wang Jian would arrive at Yanyu tomorrow.
"Pass my order and have the soldiers prepare to attack the city! The first one hundred soldiers to attack the city will be rewarded!"
Yang Yan looked at the map and ordered.
Yang Yan was filled with reluctance. His uncle Yang Xian had resigned and returned to seclusion. Before his uncle returned to the court, his father was now the pillar of their Yang family.
However, now my father leads an army of 100,000, but is trapped in Yingchuan at the critical moment of destroying Zhao.
Yang Yan knew that no matter what happened in Yingchuan this time, if the army here did not retreat, the longer his father delayed, the more disappointed he would be. In the future, the king would have to think twice even if he thought of using his father as highly as he did now.
Among the current generation of the Yang family, apart from him, only his cousin Yang Xiong is a high official, and his cousin Yang Xi is a local official. The other clan members have not yet grown up.
He must take credit for defeating the enemy.
This not only affects him, but also affects his father and even Yang.
So he wanted to try again. Even if he gave a hundred gold as a reward, he would still capture Yanyu today.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
When the other generals of the Qin Army heard what Yang Yan said, they were a little worried, but now that Yang Yan was the commander-in-chief, they had to act according to his orders.
After all the Qin army generals turned around and left.
Inside the tent.
Yang Yan looked at the map, scanning the cities and routes on the map with vigilance, as well as the approximate military strength of other Zhao Kingdom cities. After confirming that Zhao Kingdom had absolutely no reinforcements, he turned around, picked up the sword on the wooden stand on the side, and headed towards the camp.
Walk outside.
Historically, Yang Ruihe's last expedition against Zhao, for some unknown reason, progressed slowly and then gradually disappeared.
It probably hasn't been reused again.
Historical records, Yang Xiong, General Huben of Qin.
After the governor of the county was appointed, he became ill.
