Now that Empress Dowager Xiao had relented, Yang Gao immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Sister Huang, General Shi!" The two of you are similar in martial arts, and even if you fight for another hundred rounds, you won't be able to tell the winner, so in my opinion, let's stop fighting. ”

Yang Gao spoke, Shi Wengong hurriedly sold a flaw and jumped out of the battle group, Yang Miaozhen did not pursue, turned over and dismounted and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know ...... me"

Yang Gao glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiao, who had already gotten up and left, and said with a slight smile: "Although the imperial sister can rest assured, the queen mother has agreed, and you will go north with me in three days." ”

Yang Gao said and swept his gaze to Shi Wengong on the side, and said lightly: "General Shi's martial arts are just a small captain, but I have been negligent. Three days later, I will also go north with me, I hope you will make more meritorious contributions, and I will naturally promote you! ”

Shi Wengong was overjoyed when he heard this, although he was not promoted for the time being, but he had already left an impression on the emperor. And he believes that with his martial arts, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted. At that moment, he rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, knelt on the ground and thanked him: "The last general thanks Your Majesty for your support, I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, even if I don't hesitate to do it." ”

。。。。。。。。。。

The blue waves are sparkling, and the sky is high and refreshing.

More than 200 ships converted from warships, carrying nearly 50,000 officers and men of the Sui Army, have been sailing on this vast sea for nearly a month. In the distance, the outline of the coastline of Youzhou has come into everyone's eyes.

"Whew-" Inspector Zhang at the bow of the ship sighed and muttered, "It's finally here!" ”

"Great, we're finally in Youzhou!"

The officers and men of the Sui army on the sea ship all shouted loudly, especially many cavalry generals, although they had also received special training before coming, but they were still seasick for three days when sailing on the sea, and at this moment they saw the appearance of the coastline, regardless of the fatigue of the body, and shouted and celebrated wildly.

"Dashuai."

Liu Xuanchu, a strategist dressed in a blue-gray robe, appeared behind Zhang Xun at some point, he was not very tall, his face was thin, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he looked in good spirits.

"Mr. Maoya."

Seeing Liu Xuanchu, Zhang Xun smiled slightly. After more than a month of getting along, he also found that Liu Xuanchu was resourceful, so he immediately asked: "Sir, now that our army is about to enter Youzhou, according to your opinion, how should we act?" Do you go directly to Zhuojun and defend the city with Luo Yi? ”

Liu Xuanchu waved his hand and said, "Before I set off, Luo Yi was already trapped in Zhuo County, and today, I am afraid that there are no less than 200,000 Hu Lu besieging Zhuo County. However, our army sailed on the sea for a month, and the road was bumpy, and many officers and men could not withstand the wind and waves, and the combat strength of the whole army was greatly reduced. At this time, going to Zhuojun is tantamount to sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger. ”

After a pause, Liu Xuanchu lowered his voice again: "And Luo Yi's name is Sui Chen, but he is actually ambitious. Even if we enter Zhuo County, we will only make a situation of mutual suspicion and friction, and it will be cheaper. ”

Zhang Xun bowed slightly, and continued to ask, "What does the military advisor think it should be?" ”

Liu Xuanchu smiled slightly: "My idea is very simple, not to enter Zhuo County, go deep into the hinterland of Youzhou, and attack everywhere. The focus of Hulu is on Zhuo County, and the rest of the counties must be guarded against emptiness, so our army can attack and plunder Hulu's logistics and baggage while recovering its vitality. In addition, the people of Youzhou are fierce, and although Hu Lu occupies Youzhou, there should be no shortage of benevolent and righteous people who rise up to resist between the mountains and wilderness. The marshal can take the opportunity to absorb the rebel army and slowly accumulate strength. ”

"Before leaving, His Majesty once said that on the eve of the Youzhou Incident, Wanyan Aguda secretly rebelled against Wu Sangui, the general of Yulin Guanzhen, and fiercely put Temujin together, and the two were already on the same page. Therefore, even if they know the location of our army, they will not dare to divide their troops to deal with us because they are afraid of the other side. When the time is ripe in the future, the marshal can lead the army to repel Hu Lu first, and then force Luo Yi to hand over the military and political power of Youzhou with the general momentum. ”

Governor Zhang laughed and said: "What Mr. said coincides with me, pass the order, stay in place to rest after landing, and quickly contact Youzhou Jinyi Wei to understand the situation of the whole territory of Youzhou!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Ten days later, Zhang Xun led the army to the city of Xinchang, the seat of Beiping County.

In the romance, Luo Yi's title is the king of Beiping. In history, Luo Yi was originally the Tiger Benlang general of the Overseer Army in Beiping. Although the official positions are very different, they all reflect the fact that Beiping County is the foundation of Luo Yi.

Wanyan Aguta obviously knew this, and most of the cities he took were mainly garrisoned by Youzhou troops, but most of the generals were replaced by Jurchens. Only in Beiping County, almost all the garrisons are Jurchens, the main general is Wanyan Liang, the nephew of Wanyan Aguta, and the deputy general is Guo Yaoshi.

In the few days that he was stationed and rested, Zhang Xun had already connected with the Jinyi guards on the Youzhou side and learned about the entire situation in Youzhou.

Due to Luo Yi's repeated defeats in the Battle of Hu, the loss of the city and land, and the humiliation of the country, the rebels who spontaneously organized to resist Hu Lu in Youzhou did not trust the Sui army. Therefore, Zhang Xun and Liu Xuanchu discussed and decided that in order to facilitate the integration of the rebel army in Youzhou in the future, they must fight a beautiful victory.

At this time, Beiping County, which was not far from Zhang Xun's garrison and had relatively strong garrisons, became their best choice.

Unlike Temujin, who destroyed the Khan of Jieli, he inherited a large number of resources belonging to the Eastern Turks, including many intelligence bases and spies deep into the territory of the Sui Dynasty. But the Jurchen tribe of Wanyan Aguta migrated from the farther north a few years ago, and he did not have the ability or time to go to the south to establish an intelligence point belonging to the Jurchen.

Temujin and Wanyan Aguta are already on the same footing, not to mention that the coastal area of Youzhou is the territory of Wanyan Aguta, and the first person to be damaged by the Sui army crossing the sea to the north must be Wanyan Aguta. In any case, it was impossible for Temujin to share the information he had obtained with Wanyan Aguta. Therefore, for the Sui army crossing the sea to the north, Wanyan Aguta and the Jurchen soldiers under his command did not know anything.

When tens of thousands of well-equipped Sui troops suddenly approached the city, the Jurchen soldiers in Xinchang City immediately panicked. Although Wanyan Liang is Wanyan Aguta's nephew, his ability is far from that of several cousins Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongbi.

On the contrary, Guo Yaoshi, as a deputy general, was able to hold the scene, he first stabilized Wan Yan Liang, and then in the name of Wan Yan Liang, he ordered several Jurchen commanders in the city to lead the army to defend the city.
