The teachers and students of Liaokou Military Academy have a unanimous evaluation of Yang Kaiyuan: conservative!

In particular, some radical youths openly shouted that "the three generals Liaokou have no name after the war." Indeed, Yang Kaiyuan's performance in Zong Ying's Northern Expedition was difficult to satisfy these young people, and after the defeat of Zhending, his conservatism made all the hot-blooded young people feel uncomfortable.

"Obviously only in his thirties, but he is more timid than the Dao of the Planter at the age of sixty or seventy!"

This kind of remark actually appeared in public in Liaokou, which made some high-level military scholars indignant, after all, Yang Kaiyuan, who was far away in Tanggu, still had the title of deputy chief of Liaokou military academy. However, Yang Kaiyuan laughed when he heard these words.

"The third brother is indeed very conservative, even too conservative." Yang Yingqi also said this in private, "But with him in Tanggu, at least it's reassuring." ”

Tanggu is not like Taiyuan, with the danger of mountains and rivers, although rivers and tidal flats can play a certain role, the back of the sea can make Tanggu have no worries, and the advantage of the Han army's sailors can also successfully block the Jin people down the river, however, as a city located at the mouth of the river, it is really very difficult to hold it steadily, especially Yang Kaiyuan is facing the East Route Army, which Dajin can fight the most. In the days after the defeat of Zhending, Tanggu actually experienced very sad years. All the generals who have experienced this period of time are all unhappy for the hot-blooded young man's criticism of Yang Kaiyuan.

"That's so nice! If you really have that ability, you will fight! ”

Of course, this is just a momentary rhetoric.

However, the indignation of the generals in the Tanggu barracks could not stop the unscrupulous mouths of the enthusiastic young men of military studies. For young people, no defeat is never a satisfactory result, and a satisfactory outcome should be victory, victory, victory!

When it came to this issue, someone suddenly discovered: "The three generals don't seem to have won a single battle......

What an amazing find! Indeed, in a sense, after the Battle of Liaokou, Yang Kaiyuan, who had overshadowed Cao and Xiao, had indeed not fought a "winning battle". The battle of Liaokou can also be said to be victorious, or it can be said to be a peace, but to be precise, it is just a hold.

"A general who has never won a battle is actually called a famous general?" The meaner young man began to shout.

If the conservative generals who evaluate Tanggu can still bear it, then this kind of mean remarks really makes many generals who love Yang Kaiyuan unbearable!

"These bunnies! Fought a few battles! Just know the shouting! ”

"Forget it." Yang Kaiyuan always comforted these subordinates who were indignant about him: "Let them go." ”

"But...... No matter how generous you are, the third general, you can't ignore this matter! If it goes on like this, not to mention the reputation of the three generals, even the atmosphere of military learning will be corrupted. ”

"But they're right. I really haven't won any battles. ”

Yang Kaiyuan knows very well what he wants to do, and his concept of guarding Tanggu is not entirely from Tanggu itself, but from the entire strategy and even the entire political level.

"What are the benefits of holding Tanggu? After holding Tanggu, Yanjing's soldiers and horses could not go all out to conquer Shandong in the south, nor could they go all out to rescue the northeast in the east. ”

Therefore, as long as Yang Kaiyuan firmly guards Tanggu, it is equivalent to placing a tumor next to the heart of the Jin Army's East Route Army! It was impossible for this legion to burst out of its full strength. And the power of this tumor, as the enemy, Zong Fu, Zong Bi and others understand it more deeply than anyone in Liaokou Military Academy! I don't know how many days and nights, Zong Fu and Zong Bi both looked in the direction of Tanggu and roared in disgust! That's right, Yang Kaiyuan is very conservative and his offense is not active, but even if he is not active, as long as Tanggu is still there for a day, he will pose a huge threat to Yanjing! Sosuke and Sobi had to spend a lot of troops to contain him!

"There is a second advantage to holding Tanggu, that is, to let the eldest brother fight in the Northeast with peace of mind."

With Yang Kaiyuan here, Zhi Yanchong is really relieved. Whether it is the Northeast Battlefield or the Northwest Battlefield, there are variables everywhere, but it is Tanggu that is under the most pressure that makes Zhi Yanchong feel that there are no variables, because he knows that Yang Kaiyuan will not easily send troops to win, and he does not need Yang Kaiyuan to send troops to win, as long as Yang Kaiyuan can keep Tanggu - and almost everyone has no doubt about this, including those young people who desperately belittle Yang Kaiyuan.

After Zhi Yanchong returned to southern Liaoning, the situation in the northeast was already a situation in which the Han army had the advantage, unless the attacking side had an overwhelming advantage, otherwise the development of the big war situation was usually not in full bloom, but the superior front concentrated forces to advance, and the other fronts held the territory, whether it was Zhi Yanchong's plan or Zong Han Zongbi's plan. The breakthrough point in Zhi Yanchong's plan is in the northeast, and the breakthrough point in Zonghan Zongbi's plan is in the Central Plains, but the latter was held back by Yang Kaiyuan, whether it is annexing the Central Plains or returning to the northeast, he can't go all out, if he wants to concentrate on attacking Tanggu with all his strength first, Yang Kaiyuan, who is not moving in the eight winds, is also a hateful opponent who makes the attacker easily fatigued - from guarding Liaokou to guarding Tanggu, the city where this person sits has never been in danger of falling. This kind of thing, repeated many times, was enough to fill the hearts of all the defenders with a sense of security, and the besiegers with boredom - a kind of boredom that felt impossible to fight before the battle had even been fought!

So Cao Guangbi thinks: "Based on this alone, the third brother is enough to be called a famous general." ”

"There is a third advantage to holding Tanggu, that is, when the other battlefield picks up the results of the battle and transfers the troops, Tanggu can immediately become an offensive blade!"

Since there are so many and such great benefits just by holding it, then why do you have to go to great lengths to seek a dangerous and difficult attack-this is Yang Kaiyuan's strategic idea for Tanggu's defense, no matter how many people criticize him for being conservative, or even sarcastically mocking him for not winning a single victory, he has not changed his strategic thinking about this clearly thought out.

For this point, Zhi Yanchong spoke very highly: "It is easy to ignore the enemy's provocation, but it is difficult to withstand the pressure of your own side!" And the third brother did it in both ways. ”

However, after Yang Yingqi secretly entered Tanggu, he felt that Yang Kaiyuan's conservative attitude should change.

"It's time to go on the defensive!" Yang Yingqi said: "My itinerary to Tanggu is kept secret for the time being, just so that Zongfu Zongbi will not worry too much about here. If the Tanggu side is not ready to attack, then it will be meaningless for me to keep this secret. ”

Yang Kaiyuan smiled and said with a smile after hearing Yang Yingqi's suggestion: "But I'm used to it, and suddenly I want to attack, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well." ”

"Don't be afraid." Yang Yingqi said: "Now our advantage is big enough to withstand a big defeat!" Even if Tanggu is destroyed, we can withstand it! ”

Yang Yingqi's words have already been said about this, what else is Yang Kaiyuan worried about? In addition, after the great victory in the Northeast, the reinforcements from the two ports of Liaokou and Jinmen were continuously transported, and if the army was not sent to fight, it would be a great waste for the Han army.

"But where are the troops going?" At a military meeting attended by Yang Yingqi Wenchen's group, Yang Kaiyuan said casually.

"Then I don't understand." Yang Yingqi said: "I only know that we can support the third brother's attack, and if we want money, there will be some people." ”

Yang Kaiyuan thought about it for a while and felt that there were three plans that could be carried out: one was to break through from Tangnan to the south of Cangzhou, enter Dizhou and Binzhou, and reconnect the land transportation between Tanggu and Shandong; One is to break into Hejian Province along the Yellow River, and if this military operation is successful, it can cut the Jin Army's East Route Army into two sections, north and south, and even contact the Hedong Army; The last one is also very tempting, that is, to transport a strange army to the coast west of Yuguan by sea to land, attack Pingzhou, Luanzhou, if it goes well, it can open up the western Liaoning corridor, so that the Han army in southern Liaoning can drive straight into the land route, and the next little result can also be a dog to the Digunai Pass guarding Yuguan, so that the Yuguan army will lose more than half of its strategic significance.

"To the south is to connect with the military situation in Xingdong, to the west is to connect with the military situation in Hedong, and to the north is to open up the gateway to the corridor in western Liao-no matter which way, if it succeeds, it will be enough to disrupt Zong Han's position." Yang Kaiyuan said that he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said to Yang Yingqi: "It's better to send troops together in three ways, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yingqi's eyes widened, and then he said with a smile: "Third brother, you have to wash away the name of conservatism, and you don't need to wash it like this." ”

Yang Kaiyuan smiled faintly and said, "If you want people, you want money to have money-this is not what you said!" ”
