Pan Weixi received the battle report from Jicheng the next day, he looked at the battle report in his hand, and his mood was quite heavy, most of the defenders in Jiyou and Youyou were General Yang Yanzhao's old subordinates, and most of these troops were trained by General Yang, although in the past few years that Cui Huaiqing took over, the overall morale and combat effectiveness of the troops have dropped a lot, but the foundation is still there. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Wei, the defender of Jicheng, is Yang Yanzhao's direct subordinate, and he led the old troops to face the Liao army, with a casualty ratio of almost 3:1, although there are factors such as the sudden attack of the Liao army and the unpreparedness of the Song army, it can still be seen that the overall combat strength of the Song army is now not far from the Liao army.

Don't talk about Pan Weixi's heart, but say that after the Liao people harassed Jicheng, there was no movement in the next few days, until Yang Yanzhao's army entered Youzhou City, and the Liao people did not have the slightest wind and grass, after Yang Yanzhao entered the city, Pan Weixi quickly came to the front of the handsome tent, reported everything that happened here to him in detail, and asked Yang Yanzhao for his private house arrest of Cui Huaiqing, Yang Yanzhao listened to it, sighed for a moment, and said: "Weixi, Cui Huaiqing's matter, you handled it properly, There is nothing to plead guilty to, and if he wants to sue before the Holy One, I will bear it with all my might. ”

"The marshal has not been thanked." Pan Weixi was overjoyed when he heard this, although he was not afraid of Cui Huaiqing, but this person has a good relationship with today's saints, once he regains his freedom, he will sue himself in front of the saint, Pan Weixi's situation will become very passive, you must know that the Zhao royal family is the world seized by military power, they are somewhat afraid of the generals in the army, once Zhenzong feels that Pan Weixi has military merits, is arrogant, and does not put the people around the emperor in his eyes at all, it will be bad, and now Yang Yanzhao is carrying it for him, so he can avoid many worries.

"Thank you, as soldiers, we should be pure, that Cui Huaiqing is good at welcoming and flattering, exquisite, and being an ordinary official in Beijing who is not big or small, but it is also horsey, let him be a general in the army, it is not suitable at all, although the saint has some friendship with this person, but he will not be unable to distinguish the priority, and punish you and me for him, these trivial matters, we don't need to worry too much, what I am worried about now is Emperor Liao Yelu Longxu."

"As you said, this person has been carefully taught by the Empress Dowager Xiao, these years have been trained, although the Liao army has not fought with the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, but on the grassland has never stopped the expedition, their combat power is indeed not comparable to our troops who have not fought in nearly 20 years, if the Song and Liao go to war, in the early stage of the war, our army will not only not get any benefits, but I am afraid that we will suffer a lot of losses."

"But no matter what, as soldiers, we were ordered to come to this land of Yanyun, as long as there is still a mouthful, this gateway will always have to be guarded, Weixi, you don't care about the thistle for the time being, go to Yingzhou on the same day, and bring the fifteen thousand elite horsemen you brought, that position is too important, and ordinary people can't hold that pass at all." Yang Yanzhao shook his head disapprerovingly, quickly analyzed the current battle situation, and opened his mouth to take over the conversation.

He has been fighting horses all his life, speaking bluntly, whether it is talking about Emperor Zhenzong or Cui Huaiqing, he is flat and straightforward, without any tactful words, talking about his duties and missions, his tone is also very calm, without any impassioned words, but the soul of a military general is vividly expressed, so that a promising young general like Pan Weixi can listen to the excitement and fly with an inexplicable heart, I only feel that it is a great pleasure in life to be able to gallop and kill with such a commander.

"Yang Shuai, don't worry, after arriving in Yingzhou, I don't dare to say anything else, but there is one thing that can be assured to the marshal that there will never be another thing like letting the enemy bypass Yingzhou and quietly touch the city of Youji." Pan Weixi was excited and immediately made a military order.

Yang Yanzhao sent him to Yingzhou as soon as he opened his mouth, and at the same time asked him to bring the 15,000 vanguard troops with him, not to assign him, but to really not worry about the current general guarding the pass in Yingzhou, in fact, it is not just him, if he is replaced by any qualified commander, he will not be at ease when he sees the enemy repeatedly bypassing the main guard checkpoint on the side and coming to the rear.

"Go, this is the general's order." Yang Yanzhao smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and only issued a general order to him.

Pan Weixi led the troops to Yingzhou not to mention for the time being, but said that the emperor's eldest son Zhao You, after he arrived in Youzhou City with Yang Yanzhao, he took a few Qin guards to go around the city, and this circle down, found that many street shops and houses in the city were destroyed, and homeless residents could be seen on the street from time to time, which made Zhao You quite unhappy, only to feel that this Youzhou assassin history is really a waste, and now there has been more than half a month of peace, and the city is still so chaotic.

He didn't think about it at all, it has been more than a month since the thistle rebellion occurred, and there are too many people in the city to accommodate it, many victims have begun to flock to other places, and the thistle government can't control the spread of the situation, so it was reported to the court, plus not long ago, there was another war in the city, countless houses in the city were destroyed, old injuries were not healed and new injuries were added, and the food and grass materials for the disaster had not arrived, although after Pan Weixi arrived, some materials were prepared from several surrounding states to come to the emergency.

But Yanyun Bazhou is now facing the threat of war, the grain and grass materials that can be prepared to the thistle are limited, and more than 10,000 soldiers have suddenly been added to the city, and eating and drinking are not a small amount.

Zhao You angrily returned to the Qincha Xingyuan from outside, and sent someone to summon the assassin Shi Xu Weixin, and the person who went to summon the assassin came back not long after, and told Zhao You that the assassin went to see Marshal Yang, Zhao You was even more angry when he heard it, although Yang Yanzhao was the commander of the rebellion, but he was in charge of the military, this Xu Tingshi saw that his Qin mission was coming, and he didn't come to see him first, but he went to see Yang Yanzhao first, did he put himself in his eyes, the prince of the Qincha?

"Cough, cough, Your Highness, don't be angry for the time being, although Marshal Yang is the chief general in charge of the military, but before leaving, His Majesty and the elder of the pavilion have an explanation, let His Highness discuss everything with Yang Shuai, Marshal Yang has guarded Yanyun for more than ten years, and is very familiar with everything here, he wants to be in charge of the safety of the whole city, after the army arrives, Xu Tingshi will go to see him first and report to him about the relevant affairs of the city, which is not considered a violation." Fortunately, Zhang Xun, who accompanied him, was a sober-minded person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly coughed lightly twice and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. (To be continued.) )
