Chapter 020: Yang Shanhui
Leshou County, Hejian County!
With the arrival of the army, the whole territory is clear!
Thirty miles away from the western suburbs of the county, the Sui army's camp tents are continuous, and the flag is like the sea!
Yang Tong's camp is located in the center of the camp, which is equivalent to the operational command headquarters, there are nearly ten camp tents in the village, his handsome tent is in the middle, and some close guards live in other camp tents.
With this camp as the center, 10,000 Xiaoguo is divided into four points, enclosing the camp in a circular formation, setting up a camp tent, and anyone who wants to enter the Chinese army must pass through their camp and be responsible for the safety of the Chinese army.
Next, the 20,000 Xiaoguo army was divided into eight points, and the four points inside were surrounded to form a larger circular formation.
As for the 30,000 troops from the eastern capital, they were divided into eight points on the outside, slightly intersecting with the eight on the inside, and in the event of a sudden war, the 50,000 army could respond to the battle in an orderly manner.
All the battalions surrounded the Chinese army like stars and moons, making the camps overlapping and endless.
The suburbs of Wuqiang County are flat, the plains are wide, and there is no danger to be feared, but under such careful arrangement, the camp has become several circular formations, Yang Tong occupies the middle, as the center of the formation, and the other camps rotate around the center of the formation.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended
In the case of not occupying the geographical advantage, the whole camp is alive, this fact is surprising.
Yang Tong, of course, does not have this ability.
This handwriting was actually done by Yang Yichen, the white jade pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Yang Yichen was ordered by him to come to assist in this battle.
This world-famous general is tall and burly, and although he is over fifty years old, he is still not weaker than his prime.
Yang Yichen's surname is Wei Chi, and he is a clansman who opposed the Yang family on behalf of Zhou, but Yang Yichen's father Wei Chi Chong was a supporter of Yang Jian.
At that time, Yang Yichen was still young, Yang Jian raised him in the palace, and gave him the surname Yang, included in the family tree, the generation was Yang Guang's brother, the two grew up together, and Yang Yichen was cautious and loyal, Yang Guang still trusted him very much.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yang Liang, the king of Han, rebelled, and Yang Yichen led 20,000 people to rescue Daizhou, and won more with less, and broke the general Qiao Zhongkui under Yang Liang. After the war, Yang Yichen was awarded the title of general, and Emperor Yang of Sui also rewarded "2,000 pieces of things, 500 pieces of miscellaneous colors, 10 female prostitutes, and 20 good horses". After that, Yang Yichen also participated in the battle of Tuyuhun and the battle of Goguryeo. Although the Sui Dynasty was defeated in the conquest of Goguryeo, Yang Yichen performed very well, "seven victories in one day".
In recent years, uprisings have broken out in various places, Sun Xuanya, Gao Shida, and Zhang Jin, a native of Bohai in Hebei Province, and Zhang Jin, a native of Qinghe, all gathered together as thieves, each with 100,000 people, they attacked Hebei Province for the sake of disaster, attacked the city and captured the land, and beat Hebei Province to pieces, and the three finally joined forces, and almost conquered Liyang Cang, which had more than 20 million loads of grain.
Yang Guang sent Duan Da to crusade, but Duan Da was not angry and was defeated repeatedly.
At the critical moment, Yang Shanhui ordered Yang Shanhui to attack with thousands of strong soldiers, thus breaking the alliance of the three thieves. After that, he and Yang Yuanhong, who guarded the plains, rode tens of thousands of people, attacked the base camp of the thieves, and the officers and soldiers were all gone, and the thieves were defeated again.
At the same time, Yang Guang asked Yang Yichen to lead the army into Hebei Province to suppress. After Yang Yichen was in place, he won many battles, and finally broke Gao Shida last year and beheaded Zhang Jincheng. He also packed up and surrendered his troops, entered Douzigang, and captured Ge Qian and other thieves alive.
Gao Shida led hundreds of people to flee to Zhangnan County, Qinghe, Wang An, the leader of the thieves in Linqing, led thousands of men and horses to meet him, Yang Shanhui took the opportunity to attack, captured and killed the two thieves, and sent the heads of the two thieves to the Jiangdu Palace where Yang Guang was located, and Yang Guang awarded Yang Shanhui Qinghe Tongshou official position! And Yang Yichen was awarded the post of Guanglu doctor for his military merits.
As a result, the uprising in Hebei Province was effectively contained, and only Dou Jiande, who was entrenched in Leshou County, remained in the current major rebellion.
Dou Jiande was originally Gao Shida's general, and after Gao Shida was killed in battle, he led thousands of people to conquer Raoyang County, and his strength suddenly grew to 30,000 people.
In the first month of this year, Dou Jiande set up an altar at the junction of Hejian and Leshou counties to hold a ceremony, proclaiming himself King of Changle. Xue Shixiong, the left-behind guard of Zhuojun and the general of the Right Yiwei, led 30,000 horses to attack Dou Jiande and camped in Qilijing in Hejian City.
Dou Jiande selected thousands of elite soldiers to ambush in the swamp between the rivers, and the defenders of various towns all pulled out their camps and fled in disguise. was defeated by Dou Jiande's night attack, and the Sui army trampled on each other, killing and wounding more than 10,000 people. Dou Jiande's army was mighty and hehe, and took the opportunity to absorb the whole territory, and gathered 200,000 people in Leshou, preparing to fight Yang Tong to the death.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army!
Yang Dong, Yang Yichen, Pei Renji, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Qinghe Tongshou Yang Shanhui, Pingyuan Tongshou Yang Yuanhong are all there, in addition, there are also folk righteous people Boling Hengyang Wei Zheng, Xindu Wuyi Su Lie.
These two people are talents excavated by Yang Yichen, needless to say the famous Wei Zheng.
And Su Lie is Su Dingfang.
He is the son of the righteous Su Yong, whose father led the county soldiers to crusade against the thief crown for the state and county, and died bravely; Su Lie is brave and powerful, and his courage is outstanding. At the age of fifteen, he inherited his deceased father's will, and took the lead in charging many times, first breaking the Qinghe rebel leader Zhang Jincheng in the south of the county, and then defeating the leader of the Handan rebel Yang Gongqing in the west of the county! Because of his merit, he was left by Yang Yichen to use it.
The birth of these two people is definitely another unexpected surprise for Yang Tong.
"Servant, tell you about the characteristics of the many bandits in Hebei Province." Yang Tong said to Yang Yichen.
"Your Highness! Lord Yang Shanhui has dealt with thieves the most and for the longest time, and he is most familiar with the habits of the bandits in Hebei Province. "Yang Yichen recommended Yang Shanhui!
Yang Shanhui is about forty years old, his eyes are bright, his face is slender and long, and he has a long beard under his chin, and he looks quite elegant, but judging from his slender and powerful hands, this person's martial arts are good! No wonder he likes to lead the county soldiers to charge into battle as a civilian official at every turn.
Yang Shanhui stood up and said to everyone: "Since the seventh year of the Great Cause, there have been countless bandits in Hebei Province, and the scale of more than 100,000 people are Liu Badao, Sun Anzu, Wang Deren, Wang An, Du Yanbing, Wang Run, Hao Xiaode, Li Deyi, Ge Qian, Lu Mingyue, Yang Zhongxu, Wang Xuba, Wei Dao'er, Zhen Zhai'er, Sun Xuanya, Gao Shida, Zhang Jincheng, Zhao Wanhai, Wang Ziying, Dou Jiande...... In addition to Dou Jiande's branch, Hao Xiaode voted for Wagang, Sun Xuanya fled to Henan Province and didn't know what to do, and Wei Daoer fled to Hedong Road! The rest were pacified by the imperial court. ”
"The most influential and longest-lasting in Hebei Province are Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, and Dou Jiande, and the folk legend is that Dou Jiande is lenient, Gao Shida is greedy, and Zhang Jin is cruel."
"Zhang Jin said that he rebelled in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and died at the hands of Weichen last year. Qinghe, Wu'an, Xiangguo, Zhao County, and Xindu six counties were completely destroyed by him, and the Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Zhao County Li family and other famous families with five surnames and seven sects were broken by him one by one. ”
Gao Shida also rebelled in the same year, he is a native of Xindu County, his father is the abandoned son of the Bohai Gao family, mainly in the plains, Bohai, Hejian three counties, these three counties were also beaten into ruins by him, Bohai Gao was bloodily retaliated by him, except for a limited number of people fled from other places, almost wanted to exterminate the clan. died at the hands of the servant last year, and the rest went to Dou Jiande. ”
Yang Tong nodded slightly, he felt that he should build a well-dressed mound for Zhang Jincheng and Gao Shida, and thanked them for killing the great family and gate valve of Hebei Province for him!
Yang Shanhui continued: "As for Dou Jiande, according to the grass robbers, he is righteous and squandering money, has no shelf, and stresses benevolence and righteousness. When the enemy and the enemy are in confrontation, he always leads the brave men to rush to the front, and everyone in his department is convinced. Unlike the brutality of Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, Lu Mingyue and others, he never slaughtered the city, only killed local ruffians, corrupt officials, and helped poor people from time to time! The minister thought that if this person developed, he would be more terrible than Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, and Lu Mingyue. ”
"Thanks for the reminder! Please go on. Yang Tong smiled.
In the sitting, no one knows Dou Jiande's power better than him, but he is the famous king of Hebei and the king of Xia in the future! This product is now in a period of prosperity, if you don't get rid of it, don't think about peace in the future!
Yang Shanhui continued: "Dou Jiande is scheming, especially likes to sneak attack at night, and is good at fire attack! ”
Yang Yichen said: "Lord Yang is right. Last year, when Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, conquered Gao Shida, Dou Jiande pretended to fall out with Gao Shida, and Gao Shida pulled out an innocent woman and killed him in front of Guo Da, saying that it was Dou Jiande's wife! Lord Guo believed it and accepted Dou Jiande's surrender, and was finally killed by Gao Shida and Dou Jiandri Waiyinghe. When Zhuo County stayed behind Xue Shixiong to lead an army of 30,000 to quell the rebellion, Dou Jiande showed weakness to the enemy, causing Xue Shixiong to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, and was killed by Dou Jiande with heavy losses. Therefore, for a cunning person like Dou Jiande, you must not be careless. ”
"The biggest problem of my Great Sui generals is that they underestimate the enemy, they look down on the thief army! The sad thing is that I have eaten the lesson, and I don't have a long memory! Yang Tong said angrily: "As a colleague, can Xue Shixiong not know how Guo Xuan died?" actually made the same mistake, it doesn't matter if he dies, he also killed 30,000 elites, 'one general is incompetent, and the three armies are killed' is Xue Shixiong. In the future, whoever dares to underestimate the enemy, get out of the barracks for me, so as not to burden the soldiers. Do you get it? ”
"Got it!" The crowd was in awe.
Speaking of Xue Shixiong, Yang Tong thought of his five awesome sons: Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanbei, these five people are all heroes among the people, and when they arrive in Zhuojun, they must be packed and taken away.
Yang Tong lost his temper, and then said: "The premise of Dou Jiande's scheming is to cherish the soldiers, because he knows that his soldiers are not the opponents of the regular army, so the soldiers make dangerous moves and win with surprise soldiers; ”
"This battle is the first battle in which he became king, and it is of great significance to the life and death of the whole army! He can only win and not lose, so he can only repeat his old tricks; His soldiers are accustomed to fighting with him, and if he doesn't come, the morale of the army will be demoralized! Dou Jiande himself must be indispensable! And I'm 60% sure it's ...... tonight."
Looking at Yang Tong with a relaxed expression, Yang Yichen was curious: "Why is Your Highness so convinced?"
"Haha! Dou Jiande had to come! He can't afford it. Yang Tong said with a smile.
"Your Highness is right, he really can't afford it!" Yang Yichen immediately reacted.
