On the third day of breaking the city, order has been restored to Liyang City.

In the hall of the backyard of the former county government, Gao Si got up from Yuan Yao's bed and ordered his guards to gather important generals and civil officials to discuss the next move.

"Revenge!" Yuan Yao stared at Gao Si's distant figure, but he had a lot of thoughts, and committing himself to the enemy was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Hatred is like a seed that sprouts in the future.

Before long, the general of the Tiger Lie Army, Wei Chi Gong, the general of the Yingyang Army, Peng Yucheng, the general of the Longwu Army, He Huailiang, and the three brothers of Liu Zhuang, Hu Sizheng, Mai's three brothers, Xue Yuanbo, Li Tieliang, Li Junxian, Cheng Yanjin, Song Jingang, Liu Heimin, Wu Heimin, Niu Jinda, Cui Luo, Hao Xiaode, and Tong Jialiang all arrived.

"Below Liyang City, Yuan Wenhong is ambushed, I appoint Xue Yuanbo as the county commander of Liyang County, and this order will take effect immediately." Gao Si said undoubtedly.

No one dared to object, Xue Yuanbo got up and responded respectfully.

"Re-appointed, Peng Yu became the general of Liyang, led the Eagle Yang Army to garrison, Li Junxian, Cheng Yanjin, Song Jingang, Liu Heimin, Wu Heimin, Niu Jinda, Yang Jishan Six generals are all captains, each leading thousands of people, raising troops to defend it."

"The last general commands!" The generals took orders one after another.

"As for the Tiger Lie Army, Wei Chi Gong, you will lead people to recruit people and transport the grain from Liyang Cang to Yecheng Bingjingtai, thinking that it will be a long time. Tong Jialiang is the Taishou of Ji County and is responsible for assisting. ”

"Command." "Yes." Both of them should do the same.

"As for Hao Xiaode, you return to Yecheng with me, and you have another important task."

A smile appeared at the corner of Gao Si's mouth, and the next moment he restrained his smile and asked again: "How is the situation in Luoyang?" ”

When they heard this, they all lifted up their spirits.

Cui Luo cleared his throat and explained: "According to the latest information from the spies, Yang Guang, the faint monarch, arrived in Jiangdu, and sent Wang Shichong to recruit 30,000 Jianghuai elite soldiers to the north, echoing with Zhang Xutuo from north to south, intending to relieve the siege of the eastern capital. But Wang Shichong was as timid as a mouse, afraid of the enemy, and delayed all the way, Zhang Xutuo had already raised troops to fight a decisive battle with Li Mi, and the victory or defeat was within ten days. ”

Before the words fell, all the generals were thoughtful, especially Cheng Yanjin, Hao Xiaode, Tong Jialiang, as well as the generals Wu Heimin, Niu Jinda all had different thoughts.

Gao Si didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Li Mi, Zhang Xutuo, and Wang Shichong, I have all dealt with them. Zhang Xutuo is brave and powerful, and Wang Shichong is stoic and outstanding. Even if Li Mi is eloquent and can defeat General Zhang, he will inevitably fall into entanglement with Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong is the son of a slave, and he has great ambitions in his heart, just like a python entrenched in standby, and he will bite Li Mi hard in the future. ”

"Send someone to show favor to Li Mi again, and let him concentrate on the battle of Luoyang. Now we have to go back, send troops to solve Dou Jiande and Yang Yichen, wait for Hebei to be pacified, bring a million, and then go south to chase the deer, and we can decide the Central Plains with one drum. ”

Wei Chigong was a brave and belligerent character, and asked with a frown: "Lord, Liyang Cang has been obtained." Our army has not suffered any losses, so why not immediately move our troops north and fight a decisive battle with Yang Yichen, with the morale of our army, we will definitely win a complete victory. ”

Gao Si smiled but did not speak.

Cui Luo continued to explain: "General Wei Chi's words are wrong, although our army now occupies two counties and has tens of thousands of troops, but it rashly attacked, even if it defeats Yang Yichen, the loss is not small, how can we occupy Hebei with the exhausted people?" Even if it is reluctantly won, it will be divided everywhere, and it will be defeated in one fell swoop. ”

"My lord, what Master Cui said is very true. Our army has only been under Wei County for four or five months, and the people's hearts are not attached, and they are in a hurry to attack Ji County, so they must not fight in vain. When he was patient, he transported the grain from Liyang Cang to Yecheng, and when the winter was over, he recuperated and recharged, and sent 30,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with Yang Yichen and Dou Jiande. At this time, Tong Jialiang also opened his mouth to respond.

In troubled times, blindly attacking and fighting is not the way. To be able to fight and receive, to be obedient to rewards, and to fight against soldiers, this is the way of the king.

Gao Si made a decision when he was drinking, and said: "The words of the two gentlemen are very good for me. Our army must spend another year laying a solid foundation, and the decisive battle at the moment will really do all kinds of harm but not any benefit.

Saying that, he appeased Wei Chigong and promised: "General, wait a minute, as long as this winter, you can transport enough food to Yecheng, and you can use troops on a large scale in the spring of next year." When the time comes, let you take the lead! ”

Wei Chigong's actual proposal was that he was reluctant to take over the errand of transporting grain, but when he heard it, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was still very satisfied with the fact that he could grab the pioneer position.

clenched his fists at the moment, grinned and said, "I know." When there is a war, there is a master who decides. I have two whips in my palm, ready to answer orders. ”

It's a sign of loyalty.

Gao Si saw it in his eyes, smiled appreciatively, and said, "That's exactly how it should be." The battle is over, and there is almost another month, and the New Year will be. You work hard, and you will never be stingy with rewards. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were immediately happy.

Hao Xiaode frowned, with a worried look on his face, and asked: "Years of war, such a big burden, and the appearance under Sui Yang, how can the people live?" ”

Gao Si stood up, motioned for him to sit down, and then unfolded the newly drawn territory map, and said: "Now that the world is in turmoil, I am from a poor family, and I am already lacking. If you can be one step ahead, you can get a head start. In the coming year, I have four strategies to implement. ”

"The first thing is the equipment of the soldiers, there is an iron mine in Wu'an, when it is mined on a large scale and weapons are built, it cannot be stopped for a moment. Half of the army is still short of armor, this is a gap, and it must be completed as soon as possible. ”

"Secondly, it is to train troops in Tuntian, to fight with a knife while plowing the land with a hoe, everyone knows the hegemony of the government soldiers promoted by Yang Kaihuang? We need to reinstate this strategy immediately. ”

"Finally, it is necessary to divide the four levels of Ruishi, Jiashi, soldier, and Ding Zhuang, General Hao, you used to be born in a peasant family and have seen a lot of knowledge, so I will leave this matter to you. I promise you 2,000 soldiers, responsible for determining the level of soldiers, and start handling it when you return to Yecheng, I believe it can improve the combat power of our army. ”

"In the future, the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the General Mansion of Zhengbei will be divided according to this, and the salute system will be used to determine the humility. Equipped with armor to strengthen the army. The re-establishment of the military system is enough to sweep the world! ”

"Wounded soldiers in the army who can no longer fight can be divided into the township as the chief, train the people, and stabilize the place."

Hao Xiaode heard this, and hurriedly praised: "The general has the benevolence of the emperor, in this way, the people have a stable life, and the sergeants have no worries, and their morale will inevitably rise." And the implementation of the government military system, the elite training, so that it will not take three years to sweep the land of Hebei! ”

"Of course the lord is right, Yang Yichen occupies Xiangguo County, with 60,000 soldiers, and only 20,000 actual soldiers, and in the spring of next year, our army can defeat it!"

Gao Si smiled and said, "That's it. ”

Tong Jialiang was still not at ease, and said: "But what is Dou Jiande's ability, I don't know much about him. But judging by the speed of his rise, it should not be underestimated. ”

Gao Si agreed: "Not bad. Therefore, we must first stabilize Yang Yichen, raid Dou Jiande, and then fight with Yang Yichen after destroying him. There has been an arrangement for a certain period of time, so I will not mention it for the time being. ”

In fact, he sent Yu Shiji to Luoyang to surrender in order to obtain a name and drag Yang Yichen. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly married Princess Changle.

Seeing that the lord was confident, the others looked at each other and had to agree.

After the affairs were arranged, Gao Si said lightly: "That's it." I will give you two days to relax, and in the morning of three days, our army will slowly return and take several other cities in Ji County along the way. Then when the army is repaired, see what Yang Yichen plans. ”

At the head of Xiangguo County, Yang Yichen looked up at the clouds on the horizon and did not move for a long time.

It was a sunny day, and the sunset was shining on the horizon, and the dense clouds were gradually obscuring the sunset.

Darkness descended on the earth.

The military camp is like a forest, and the killing machine is cold. ，

In Xiangguo County, a large number of bonfires neighing from people and horses are extraordinarily lively.

Yang Yichen sighed and turned back into the house.

As soon as I arrived at the Yang Mansion mansion, I soon heard the sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments, and my son Yang Yuanlin was drinking

The wine and pleasure made him feel very unhappy.

In the lobby, more than a dozen dancing girls danced, their clothes were like mist, and the fragrance entered the bones between the turns, and the beauty of red and white was faintly visible. ，

And many Hu or Han generals accompanied Yang Yuanlin, their eyes almost fell on these beautiful women, and the sound of swallowing saliva sounded in the hall.

"Haha, how are these beauties dancing?" Yang Yuanlin surrounded the generals and was very proud: "Look at it, Ben Shao will reward them to you!" These dancing girls are all high-quality goods, and they were sent by two women selected by the big families in the county, how about it? ”

"No wonder, it's good." The generals agreed.

"If you enjoy beauty, you have to fight hard. When you catch Gao Si Xiaoer, the woman and the wealth will belong to you, and you only need the head of the high virtue! For meritorious generals, a certain will not be stingy with rewards. Yang Yuanlin was high-spirited and drove the generals.

Those dancing girls were watched by everyone, and they were not dissatisfied with the fear and desolation, but they didn't dare to show half of it, otherwise they would not only die, but also affect their families, so they had to dance harder.

At this time, in Yang Yuanlin's eyes, the Saiwai Iron Rider is what needs to be relied on. A few Han women are just playthings.

The morale of the generals has increased greatly, and the words of allegiance are continuous, Yang Yuanlin's goal has been achieved, and he must continue to carnival.

Suddenly, Yang Yichen walked in, coughed, and the sound of dogs and horses suddenly stopped, and the generals were also silent.

"It's all scattered, this is in the army, drunk and forbidden people die! It's not too early, so let's get out of the camp! Yang Yichen glanced at everyone and said seemingly casually.

Hearing this, no matter what Hu Han was, he didn't dare to disobey, so he got up separately, and for a while, the sound of armor and weapons colliding in the hall was endless, and it quickly dispersed.

At this time, Yang Yuanlin saw that everyone was embarrassed, full of leftover wine and food, and only then came to his senses.

Normally, this kind of behavior is nothing, and Yang Yichen also liked it when he was young. There was once a poem that described: "The warrior army is half dead and alive, and the beauty is still singing and dancing under the tent!" ”

The law of the Hu generals regards life and death as pleasure, so this trend is widely spread.

Emperor Yang Kai raised a three-foot sword, swept away the heroes, and under the influence of Queen Dugu, he hated this wind deeply, and once beheaded a king and three princes in a row to curb the evil spirit. Indeed, the emperor has ruled the world for 30 years, and this is rarely the case.

But with the death of the emperor and the turmoil of the great cause, Hu Feng invaded the south, and this wind rose in the north, and the lord will entertain the generals under his command with a dancing queen and share the fun.

It's just that Yang Yuanlin has always been a conceited hero, and he rarely makes such a move, but now he has won people's hearts like this, but it has made Yang Yichen even more worried about his son.

Is there really a chance of victory against the Han soldiers? Yang Yichen suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Just as he was about to reprimand, he heard his son Yang Yuanlin bow his head and say hoarsely: "Father, why are you stopping me?"

"Gentle Township is a hero's mound, you are falling. You know? Gao Chongde has captured Liyang, occupied two counties, and now he has sent an envoy. In order to recruit him, the saint also married Princess Changle to him. ”

"Hey, this kid, if he gets Yang Su's true biography, he can't be underestimated!" Yang Yichen's tone was heavy, and he told his son: "I'm really unwilling, I, Yang Yichen, have served the Great Sui all my life, can I still break my family when I get old?" "Since Yang Yichen received the holy decree, he seems to have aged by more than ten years in one day.

"Father, the child has let you down." Yang Yuanlin said guiltily.

However, before he could persuade him, Yang Yichen had already returned to normalcy and said, "The sage summoned his father to Jiangdu. The old man doesn't leave, he has to wait until the next year, get rid of this Gao family for you, and see who belongs to this northern earth! ”

"The children will train diligently, and fight with Gao Chongde!" Yang Yuanlin cheered up and promised his father.

Yang Yichen was satisfied, and said: "Go, the messenger of high virtue will be handed over to you to deal with." If you want to be a handsome, you must stand outside the battle. ”

"Yes, son, I'll go." Yang Yuanlin saluted his father, then straightened his clothes and walked out.
