[Solemnly ask for collection!! 】

"No. 2, use the seal of the general manager of the king's marching road, and expedite the county guards of Rongyang County, Dong County, Liang County, Jiyin County, Dongping County, Lu County, Jibei County, and Langxi County, and let them transfer 3,000 military horses to prepare their own grain and grass to Feicheng, Jibei County, within three days. The other southern counties rushed to Licheng five days later to provide support, so that Nanyang County could provide grain and grass support. Yang Xuan quickly ordered that the northern counties of Henan Province could meet with him a little earlier to support Licheng, while the southern counties were far away, so the time given was more abundant, and the reason why Nanyang County provided grain and grass support was because Nanyang County was located in the Nanyang Basin, with abundant land and high grain production, and it was the granary of soldiers since ancient times.

"Yes, master." No. 2 took the seal handed over by Yang Xuan, and immediately went to write a letter and sent it to Feihong in each county with a carrier pigeon. This saves a lot of time.

Jibei County, Feicheng.

After two days of hurrying, Yang Jian and his entourage finally arrived at Feicheng, which is located at the junction of Jibei County and Lu County, and the reason why the meeting place was not set in Jibei, the capital of Jibei County, was because Jibei was too close to Licheng, and if the rebels knew that the imperial court had come to support Licheng with 30,000 horses, maybe they would be alert, and then they might not be able to achieve the purpose of support.

Because of the hurry, Yang Jian left the hundreds of military craftsmen and Qinghui and Xiaoshunzi in Rongyang to hurry slowly, while he led the fighters to take the lead.

As soon as Yang Yong's front foot arrived in Feicheng, the county guard of Jibei County followed, and he didn't do anything back, he was a prince who had the power to appoint and dismiss Henan Province, so he couldn't help but be anxious.

As soon as the county guard of Jibei County arrived, he was scolded by Yang Xuan, Jibei and Licheng were next to each other, but they sat back and watched Licheng be surrounded on all sides. Fortunately, Yang Jun didn't say that he wanted to get rid of him, otherwise he probably wanted to die, in fact, Yang Jun also knew that he couldn't blame him, after all, the strength of Jibei County was almost the worst among the counties in Henan Province, and it would be very good to be able to protect himself. In the end, Yang Jian asked him for dry food that could be used for a few days for the 3,000 army, and then gave Li Jing a letter, asking him to hand it over to the county guard of Gaomi County, and asked him to provide some grain and grass, so that Li Jing and Qin Shubao took 3,000 men and horses through Gaomi County to go straight to the back of the rebels. And he only left 500 people, and before leaving, he specially told Qin Shubao to protect Li Jing, for fear that Li Jing would have an accident, after all, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great.

Yang Yong waited in Feicheng for a night, and on the morning of the third day, the reinforcements from the northern counties arrived one after another, and by the afternoon, all the reinforcements had arrived, and the number of reinforcements reached more than 30,000 people, which showed that the county guards of each county were quite cooperative. By the time Yang Jun had integrated all the teams, it was already evening, and Yang Jun didn't want these soldiers from various counties to delay his command because they were not familiar with each other, so it took a long time to integrate.

Yang Jun only had 500 men and horses around him, and the people of those counties had at least 3,000 people, and they were a little disobedient at first, but after Yang Jun led his men and horses to beat up two soldiers from the county who were not very obedient, the soldiers of the other counties were obedient.

After dinner, Yang Jian let everyone rest for half an hour and then began to lead the army to rush overnight, and by the early morning of the fourth day, he had already entered the territory of Qi County.

"Han Qiang." Yang Jun looked at the sky and saw that it was already dawn, and it was not far from Licheng, so he could no longer march swaggeringly, and the soldiers were already tired enough after a night's journey.

"Here, what does the prince command?" Han Qiang immediately responded

"Take fifty brothers of the guards to inspect the twenty miles of the surrounding land, and in an hour another fifty will take your place. We have entered the territory of Qi County, and we must be careful everywhere, in case the rebels are detected, then our surprise attack and rescue will be meaningless. These people have been in a hurry for a night, and they are basically too tired to work, so let them rest here for a while. All we have to do is feel the periphery of the city in the evening, and take advantage of the night to attack in one fell swoop to meet the defenders of the city. ”

"So your task is heavier, to make sure that our whereabouts are not discovered." Yang Jian said with a serious face, there should have been scouts in the army, but these were not taken into account when selecting people at that time, so now I have to take the guards as a while, but fortunately, these guards are trained according to the methods of the special forces of later generations, although it is not long, but it is no problem to make a temporary cameo.

After a hundred guards patrolled back and forth a few times, and when everyone felt that they were almost rested, Yang Jian led the troops to hurry again, of course, the speed became very slow, and from time to time it was necessary to send out the guards to clear the obstacles ahead.

The sun has set in the west, and dusk is approaching. At this time, a forest fifteen miles away from the west of Licheng hid a heavily armed army of more than 30,000 people, and the atmosphere was very depressing, and the forest was silent, except for the sound of tens of thousands of people breathing. Half an hour ago, Yang Xuan led his troops to arrive here and sent his guards to reconnoiter the situation, while the rest of the people rested in the forest, recovering their strength, and waiting for the upcoming battle.

Half an hour later, the guards returned. Yang Xuan urgently convened a temporary meeting of the commanders of each county to arrange the tasks.

"According to the information obtained by the guards, the rebels surrounded Licheng with about 100,000 people, and the eastern and northern parts were the weakest. The eastern part is the base of Wang Bo's rebels, and some of the rebels are attacking Beihai County, so they have no worries. And on the back is Liu Badao's rebels, and they will also not worry about any reinforcements from the imperial court. But if you want to attack these two places, you have to take a detour, which means that it may be exposed early, and it also has the effect of surprise rescue, and there is no danger of being surrounded by the front and rear. ”

"The western and southern parts of Licheng are the places where the rebels are most besieged, because the large armies in the west and south may support Licheng at any time." Yang Jian told several people about the situation and the results of his analysis.

"However, I will choose to approach Licheng from the northwest." Yang Xuan changed his words and said in an unnegotiable tone, of course, everyone was puzzled, why did the rebels have the strictest defense and we still attack from here?

"It's winter, the sun sets to the northwest, the light is right to the southwest, and we attack from the northwest, then we are going with the light, and the rebels are fighting against the light, so that we can make a gap in a short time and directly join the defenders in the city." After Yang Jian said this, everyone had a look of sudden realization and a hint of admiration. Those who can use nature to fight are all military geniuses, and it is only at this moment that they are truly convinced of Yang Yong.

"Everyone remembers, when I lead a hundred guards to open the way, four hundred-man teams will follow closely, and the soldiers of each county will follow closely to form a conical formation and go straight to the northwest of Licheng."

"Do you have faith?" Yang Jun asked with a straight gaze

"Yes!" All the generals replied in unison and in a thick tone

"Good! Everyone went back to prepare, and after a quarter of an hour, they went straight to the northwest of Licheng and fought a bloody road. Yang Jun finally ordered

The sunset at dusk was really beautiful, dyeing the clouds in the sky a bloody color, as if looking forward to the upcoming killing moment.

Five miles outside the west gate of Licheng, the rebels are in the west camp.

"Eh, Sixth Brother, you said that you can't beat this city for so long, it's cold this day, everyone else is sleeping and roasting the fire, why do you and my brother come here to collect the gate? Or let's drink wine to warm up, this is my brother I secretly left a few days ago when I looted a large family, I think about such a cold day to drink a few sips can keep out the cold, this has not been willing to drink, do you want to come two sips. One of the rebels complained, and as he spoke, he took out a small bottle of wine and asked Niu Liu if he wanted to drink a little, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and besides, there is no war on this cold day, and it should not be wrong to drink alcohol.

"Third brother, the commander has already said that you can't drink alcohol while on duty, drinking will make a mistake, you must not pull me in." As their name suggests, Niu Lao Liu is tall and big, but his head is not stupid.

"Wang Dashuai said, after laying Licheng, Qi County will be ours, and each person can get fifty acres of land at that time. Fifty acres, I don't dare to think about it in my life, our Niujiazhuang landlord's old wealth is only 200 acres, think about my family of three, that is one hundred and fifty acres, then I don't live the same life as the landlord's old wealth. Niu Liu said angrily, it can be seen that he was inspired by Wang Bo, Wang Bo used the land as an attraction is equivalent to grasping the weakness of all the people, for the sake of the land, more and more farmers who have lost their land join their ranks, which is also the reason why the rebels are developing so rapidly.

In ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the yield was low, and the yield of 50 acres of land was not necessarily higher than that of 5 acres of high-yield fields now.

"Okay, you just think about it slowly, wait until you have your life to survive, now more than 100,000 people can't even beat a Licheng with only 20,000 or 30,000 defenders, and what do you say to overthrow the rule of Emperor Yang of Sui, isn't this a dream, I just want to get cheaper." Saying that, Liu Sandao lazily gave birth to a waist in front of the sun.

Wrong!
