Kang Long naturally knew what Cao Bin was worried about. Today's Shenwu Army is divided into two parts, one is the Shenwu Army entrenched in Sanhekou City, and the other is the Blood Wolf Army occupying Shazhou Island.
These two troops, the Shenwu Army mainly trains infantry, and the Blood Wolf Army mainly trains naval forces. However, the Shenwu Army also has naval battalions, and although the Blood Wolf Army focuses on naval training, it also trains more
It is an amphibious war department.
Now the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Demons have invaded the Eastern Continent where humans live. If we want to fight against the invasion of demons, we may not need the naval army for the time being. During this period, Kang Long also continued to invest his experience in the training of the Shenwu Army.
Except for the 10,000 Shenwu troops and 5,000 naval troops stationed in Sanhekou City, almost all the Shenwu troops were mobilized to the east of Hedong to guard the newly captured Taiyuan City to prevent the Han army from counterattacking at any time.
We are selecting elite troops and preparing to expand towards the northwest Pianguan Pass.
In just ten days, the situation in the direction of Pianguan changed even faster. Because the demons had appeared on the edge of the great wilderness and had built a city, Xixia and Wumeng felt an unprecedented threat and stepped up their efforts.
Attack the side pass.
As a result, the two sides ended up in trouble. Wumeng directly dispatched a new type of secretly researched weapon that had been hidden, the siege artillery cart. This siege artillery cart can be said to be an extremely powerful siege weapon. This article
It was developed by the Wumeng Kingdom after spending countless efforts and the wisdom of three generations. It was originally planned to be used when attacking the Daliao Kingdom, but I didn't expect that the side pass would be so difficult to attack. I had no choice but to give this weapon to
Used it.
Yang Ye, a famous general in Hedong, was also very impressive. He resisted the attack of siege artillery and held on for half a month, stalling the attacks of Wumeng and Xixia.
Soon after, Wumeng and Xixia received secret letters from their respective kings. The soldiers of the two countries quietly evacuated Pianguan on the night they received the letters. Yang Ye was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before Yang Ye could be happy, news of the fall of Taiyuan City arrived on his desk.
In the dilapidated Pianguan City, in the garrison's mansion where Yang Ye usually worked, a battalion commander, a representative of the defeated troops who had escaped from the direction of Taiyuan, stood in front of him with a panic face, reporting to him.
Yang Ye listened to him without saying a word. The two generals next to him were all veteran generals who had followed Liu Hao for many years and were extremely loyal to their lord Liu Hao. This was also the reason why Yang Ye said nothing.
A few months ago, Yang Ye was sent to guard Pianguan. He was originally very happy. However, the two deputies sent to him by Liu Hao were not the generals he single-handedly promoted from the Yang family army, but two Hedong generals.
Veteran.
Originally, this was nothing, but these two veteran generals were usually very dedicated in defense, but they often sent people to monitor him in private. They thought they were doing a rigorous job, but they didn't expect that Yang Ye was not an inexperienced Maoist.
The head boy had already discovered some of the personal guards monitoring him.
Two veteran generals, one is an old subordinate of Liu Hao, named Liu Wei, who was originally a distant relative of Liu Hao. Because he was loyal to Liu Hao, although he had no military industry, he was promoted to the rank of Marquis of Du Yu.
As the Du Yuhou of Pianguan, he is responsible for supervising the army of the guards of Pianguan.
Another veteran general, named Sima Tong, was a Shatuo man whom Liu Hao conquered in his early years. He was good at conquering and fighting, which was originally a good reward. He served as the deputy commander of the garrison camp at Piantuan Pass, which belonged to Yang Ye.
Deputy.
Among the two, Liu Wei often relied on his relationship as a distant relative of Liu Hao, looked down upon Yang Ye, often scorned his military training methods, and often interrupted his training of his soldiers, while Sima Tong was a typical flatterer. , in order to cater to Liu Wei, he often took advantage of his position to train soldiers in the military camp according to Liu Wei's instructions.
With these two figures beside him, one can imagine how difficult it is for him to train soldiers in ordinary times. This is secondary. In major matters, these two people still dare not mess around, just like this time Wumeng and Xixia Regarding the matter of the country's passing of Dapianguan, after the two of them saw Yang Ye's methods, they no longer dared to hinder his military training.
Few people know that Yang Ye's father was originally a famous general in the Later Tang Dynasty. Later, after the Later Jin Dynasty destroyed the Tang Dynasty, he was subdued by the Later Jin Dynasty and served under Shi Jingtang. For some unknown reason, he offended Shi Jingtang's nephew Shi Chonggui. After Shi Chonggui became powerful, he was afraid of being retaliated by Shi Chonggui. The family fled to Hedong and fell into the hands of Liu Zhiyuan.
Because of this relationship, although Liu Zhiyuan admired the Yang family's ability to conquer and fight, he never trusted him. Yang Hongxin, Yang Ye's father, originally surrendered to Liu Zhiyuan earlier than Guo Wei, but Guo Wei was already a member of the Zuo Army at this time. He was the commander of Xiangdu, a high-ranking general who was the deputy privy envoy of the Han Dynasty. Before his death, Yang Hongxin had always been just a military commander and a mid-level military general.
Yang Ye was originally dissatisfied with what happened to his father. In addition, over the years, the Liu family has always distrusted him, but still gave his family the surname Liu. This approach has long made his dissatisfaction reach the extreme.
He rarely had great ambitions, and vowed to be a commander in charge of the three armies. At the same time, he was not ashamed that his ancestral surname had been changed. He just relied on his own ability to build his reputation in Hedong, and at the same time wrote a letter asking for an imperial edict to change his ancestral surname back to his ancestral name.
This approach naturally made Liu Hao even more worried. However, there were not many generals available in Hedong, and there were even fewer outstanding generals like Yang Ye. As a last resort, Liu Hao sent him to guard Pianguan, and at the same time sent two more The confidant invited a grandmaster-level master to take charge, and then he safely handed over the six thousand garrison of Pianguan into the hands of Yang Ye.
All of this made Yang Ye depressed. The Yang family army of three thousand troops that he had built with his own hands was suddenly dismantled by Liu Hao and scattered in the three passes of Hedong, East, West and North.
When I heard that Taiyuan City had fallen into Kang Long's hands, I felt as if my five-flavor bottle had been knocked over. I didn't know how to express my feelings at this moment.
He is also a young general, but Kang Long has already embarked on a glorious path. Looking at himself again, he has been mishandled by a few clowns. He is unable to display his talents and dare not let out his anger.
Yang Ye waited for the defeated general to finish speaking, and looked at Liu Wei, the Marquis of Du Yu and Sima Tong, the deputy commander of the army, in the lobby. Occasionally, he glanced at an aloof man sitting cross-legged quietly in the shadows. shadow.
"Liu Yuhou, what do you think?" Yang Ye saw Liu Wei and Sima Tong, who had already turned pale with shock, and sneered secretly in his heart, these idiots are still trying to gain wealth in such a dangerous place. Do you think it is so good to pass a big city in such a dangerous way? To earn military merit?
Liu Wei obviously had an unnatural and awkward smile on his face, and said: "Brother Yang, you are the coach of this side guard. When encountering such a big event, you should naturally make the decision. I'm just a little guy. The young Marquis Yu only oversees the army, how can he know these things?"
Yang Ye despised this guy even more. He was already in his forties, and he was as old as a dog. He was still trying to shirk responsibility when faced with such a calamity that could destroy the country at any time.
Seeing Yang Ye's gloomy expression, Sima Tong forced a smile and said: "Hey, brother Yang, you are so capable and you are our general, so naturally you should be the one to make the decision, but the general thinks that we should send troops to take back Taiyuan City. The Marquis is still trapped in Taiyuan City, and if something happens to him, it might be hard for us people to explain it to him."
Yang Ye raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly. When the two of them saw that he had this arrogant expression again, the embarrassment on their faces became more serious. At the same time, they were secretly angry in their hearts. Just wait, your majesty. Send troops to retake Taiyuan City, you have a good look. Huh, if it weren't for the military talisman in your hands, we wouldn't be able to mobilize our troops, so why bother talking to you here.
The two of them were thinking normally at the moment and glanced at each other. Sima Tong winked at Liu Wei, and Liu Wei naturally understood what he meant and frowned slightly.
In fact, both of them were guessing at this time that Liu Hao would definitely send a large army to recapture Taiyuan City after he learned about it as soon as possible, and most of the troops who would conquer it were already on the way.
Taiyuan City was so important to Liu Hao, it was his foundation. No one expected that Kang Long could lead such a large number of troops from the Taihang Ancient Road and quickly capture Liaozhou, and in some very shameful ways, quickly Winning over the hearts and minds of the people in Liaozhou, Taiyuan City fell in less than a month.
If possible, I am afraid that Liu Hao would rather give up the capital of Luoyang at this moment and take back Taiyuan City.
Sima Tong and Liu Wei both thought that Wumeng and Xixia had retreated, and no one would attack Pianguan for the time being. They wanted to lead a large army back before the army sent by Liu Hao arrived at Taiyuan City. In this way, she can show her face in front of Liu Hao. With the allied forces of Wumeng and Xixia that have just been defeated in Pianguan, and the reputation of returning to the rescue, I am afraid that she will be within a short distance of entering the Chongzheng Yuan and the Privy Council. Not far away either.
The Han army inherited the central setup of the Later Jin Dynasty. Although the central permanent institutions were still divided into three provinces and six departments according to the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, the actual capabilities of the three provinces had long been lost. The temporarily assigned Chongzhengyuan, Privy Council and Beizhengsi Replacement. If you can enter the two chambers and one department, you will be an important minister and veteran who holds great power.
"General Yang, you see, now that Wumeng and Xixia have withdrawn their troops, it is impossible for anyone to come up with the idea of attacking the border in the short term. Taiyuan City has fallen, and His Majesty must be extremely angry at this moment. We are not far from Taiyuan City, if we don't send troops Rescue, I'm afraid His Majesty will investigate and punish us at some point. You see..."
Liu Wei was eloquent on the side, observing Yang Ye's face and saying with a smile.
Yang Ye didn't know his big idea, but he sneered in his heart. These two guys were so anxious to die, so they should die. As an excellent general, it is the most basic thing to understand the enemy's situation and know yourself and the enemy. skills.
He had known about the situation in Taiyuan City a few days ago, and he also vaguely knew that something had happened in Kyoto. Otherwise, Liu Hao would have sent a large army to come back as soon as Taiyuan City was attacked. After the fall, the rescue troops have not yet set off, which fully demonstrates that there must be a problem in Kyoto.
Without the support of the right-wing army stationed at Mengjin Ferry on the west side of the Zhulang River, it would be even harder to recapture Taiyuan City. These two idiots don't know and want to die, so let them go
alright.
Yang Ye suddenly raised his hand and said: "Liu Yuhou, do you want to recommend General Sima to lead the army to come back for reinforcements? OK, since I have been assigned by Your Majesty to guard the side pass, I cannot leave him alone. Since General Sima is
It’s just right for my general’s deputy to make a trip. I don’t know how many people are needed and when will we start?”
Neither of them expected that Yang Ye would agree so happily. They were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to proceed. But the man who had been sitting in the shadow suddenly said: "Let's go together, I want to kill Kang Long with my own hands."
