Lin Jue and the others rode their horses and happened to see the scene where Sun Dayong killed Xiao Sida. Lin Jue laughed and applauded: "Brother Sun is very skilled, and his martial arts have improved. ”

Sun Dayong said with a smile: "It's because this guy's martial arts skills are too sparse, it's not that his subordinates' martial arts skills are high." If I kill him, the adults won't blame me. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "This person is useless, this one is useful." ”

Lin Jue pointed at Yelu Shi, who was tied to the horse, his hands and feet tied horizontally. Jereshi stuffed a strip of cloth in his mouth, and whimpered and struggled.

Sun Dayong arched his hand and said, "What should we do next?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Send someone to send this person to Yang Jun, and inform them to immediately send troops to take over the ferry." We stayed here to guard the ferry, and as soon as their men arrived, we crossed the river. The area around Xijin Mansion must be already a soldier now, let's make a front stop for Yang Jun and see if the Liao people have any tricks. ”

Sun Dayong smacked his lips and said, "The adults are really good to Yang Jun. I'm afraid that Yang Jun won't appreciate it. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "I'm not good to him, I'm for the good of Da Zhou, for the good of the people of Da Zhou." But if they are defeated, the people will suffer. Brother Sun, remember my words, righteousness comes first, and you must not lose righteousness because of small things. Yang Jun, Lu Zhongtian, Guo Xu, and they will be counted later. ”

Sun Dayong nodded and said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates immediately ordered someone to escort Yelushi to Zhuozhou." ”

……

In the city of Zhuozhou, after dark, it entered a carnival night. Yang Jun fulfilled his promise and killed pigs and sheep to reward the three armies. Although nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded in this battle, more than 40,000 enemies were annihilated, which was already an incredible victory in the siege battle. Especially since this is a strong attack in a situation where the other side is on guard, it is already extremely brilliant to have such a result. Even if you count the previous defeats, it can be considered a victory.

Moreover, this is the first battle under the command of Yang Jun, clean and neat, everything is under control. This greatly boosted morale and also brought Yang Jun's prestige in the army to the peak. In this situation, how could Yang Jun not be happy? The act of rewarding the three armies is actually a celebration of one's own achievements. Over the years, although he has rarely led the army to fight, he is still not old at the moment. He is still the same person as he was back then, but his opponent has not made any progress, Yang Jun believes that from this battle of Zhuozhou, it can be predicted that his northern expedition will be smooth.

Yang Jun made an exception to open the alcohol ban in the army, so that all the soldiers could drink to celebrate. Of course, each person was limited to two bowls, and Yang Jun didn't get dizzy, letting them get drunk one by one. The effect of these two bowls of wine is only to add to the pleasure.

In the front yard of the city lord's mansion, the torches and lanterns were illuminated. Hundreds of generals entered the table, and Yang Jun drank with them one by one with a wine bowl, accepting their congratulations.

"Congratulations to the commander for his victory, and from then on our army will go all the way north and sweep the Liao. The last general wishes the handsome horse success in advance. ”

"The handsome sword is not old, the handsome man is out, how can the Liao people be opponents. I'm afraid that the Liao people will be so scared that they will pee their pants after learning about the battle in Zhuozhou. ”

"Isn't it? The Liao people were stupid, and they dared to defend the city. Don't you know that this is the strength of my Great Zhou soldiers. Isn't it a class to do this? It is said that the Liao people have no brains, and today I realized that it is not a rumor. Hahahaha, it's really a bunch of brainless people. ”

"The Liao people are like candles to the sun in front of my Marshal Yang, and fireflies are to the moon. It's ridiculous. This is just the beginning, and the next big handsome will make their jaws drop. In a few days, he will be taken down from the Xijin Mansion, and they will come to us Marshal crying. ”

“……”

“……”

The generals are giggling, and compliments are not too much at this time. Who said that martial artists are not good at flattery, if martial artists are patted on the back, they are more shameless than literati, because they are not good at beating around the bush, and the sycophants are more straightforward and impactful.

Yang Jun smiled, he actually hated these sycophants in his heart, but he was not going to stop them from doing so. Letting them say these words actually makes these generals happy. But Yang Jun himself would not be dizzy and take those words seriously, he knew the difficulties of the war behind. But at this moment, there is no need to spoil the scenery.

"Today's victory is all thanks to your efforts, and Ben Shuai just made some plans. As the saying goes, those who are good at planning are far away, and those who do are successful. This handsome plan, and you will work hard to implement, and it will be uncompromising. Work together and work together to achieve victory. Therefore, today's victory is the victory of all the soldiers, and the commander cannot take full credit. I won't tell you that Ben Shuai has given the court a good news, and those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle have fallen, and they will be rewarded and promoted. It is believed that the imperial court will come soon. Yang Jun laughed loudly.

Everyone was even more joyful and thanked one after another.

Yang Jun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is a person who has done a good job in today's battle, and on the battlefield, he has made meritorious contributions. Ben Shuai wants to toast him with a glass of wine. Where are the Han Gang brothers? ”

In the far corner, Han Gang, dressed as an ordinary soldier, stood up. Everyone's eyes looked there, only to know that Han Gang was also invited tonight. Han Gang's identity is now just a soldier, this is a banquet for generals above the middle level, and he can't come. Obviously, this is probably the marshal's arrangement.

Yang Jun walked over with a wine bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Han, Ben Shuai toasts you with a glass of wine." ”

Han Gang hurriedly saluted and said, "How dare you sin general?" ”

Yang Jun smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Han, I see today's battle, if you are not the first to raise the ladder to attack the city during the siege, I am afraid that there will be a repetition." Ben Shuai saw it in the rear and Deputy Marshal Bai. It was a turning point in siege warfare. Otherwise, the soldiers will be beaten and confused, and they are afraid that their morale will collapse. ”

Yang Jun was not exaggerating, at that time, the defensive firepower of the city head was fierce, and the soldiers besieging the city were indeed a little confused. At that time, if someone starts to escape, the entire siege army will collapse in an instant. Then the siege will be a great problem. The ten Skycarts will inevitably be burned by the other side when the soldiers and horses collapse and flee, and the losses will be huge. Although Han Gang only raised the first cloud ladder, he undoubtedly raised a banner to continue the attack, and it really played a huge role.

Han Gang lowered his head and said softly, "The sin will be ashamed." ”

Yang Jun said with a smile: "You have been with me for many years, and today I can see that you are the same as back then, and your true colors have not disappeared." Although there is a mistake, there is no fault in anyone. To be able to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions, Ben Shuai is very happy. Come to Ben Shuai and have a bowl with you. ”

Yang Jun picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, and Han Gang also hurriedly picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. Yang Jun laughed and said: "In view of your meritorious performance, this commander will exempt you from part of the responsibility, and from now on, you will go to the vanguard cavalry army as a deputy general." When you make new contributions, the commander will reinstate you as an official. You can't live up to Ben Shuai's expectations anymore. ”

Han Gang knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, and said loudly: "The marshal treats me like this, if the humble position disappoints the marshal again, is it still a human being?" The marshal is assured that he will do his best and will not dare to be negligent in the slightest. ”

In fact, letting Han Gang return to the vanguard cavalry army as a deputy general is equivalent to reinstating the officer. The post of commander of the cavalry is vacant, and now Li Qian, the deputy commander of the capital, temporarily takes over the position. Han Gang went back to be a deputy general, and the others still listened to him. This is actually equivalent to pardoning Han Gang's sins. Han Gang realized this, and naturally he was grateful.

Yang Jun smiled and pulled Han Gang up, stroking his beard and laughing. For him, this little episode on Han Gang was beneficial. From the beginning, he had no intention of severely blaming Han Gang. Trying to kill him was just a show. Han Gang is his right-hand man, the commander of 80,000 cavalry, and Han Gang is the best candidate. Kill Han Gang? Are you kidding. However, Han Gang did venture into defeat, which was really annoying. But through this, Han Gang went back to take charge of the cavalry, but this time it was different from before. After this lesson, Han Gang will be more cautious and cautious, and at the same time, he will be more grateful to himself. Yang Jun can be sure that Han Gang will do his best in the next battle and will definitely not drop the chain. Sometimes it may seem like a bad thing, but it's actually a good thing. It's up to you to use and operate.

Everyone congratulated Han Gang one after another. Yang Jun returned to the table and beckoned everyone to eat and drink. At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came in from outside, it was a team member of the guard battalion beside Yang Jun. He came to Yang Jun's side, leaned over and whispered a few words. Yang Jun's face was stunned, and he suddenly got up and said, "What? And what's going on? Where are the people? ”

"It's already outside the courtyard gate." The right team.

"Take him to the rear, and Ben Shuai will come immediately." Yang Jun said in a deep voice.

The team turned and hurried away. Yang Jun looked around and saw that all the generals were looking at him in surprise, so he smiled and said: "Brothers, continue to eat and drink, although there is not much wine, but you can eat the food." Ben Shuai has some affairs to deal with, so he will leave first. ”

After saying that, Yang Jun turned around and walked into the hall. The generals didn't know what was going on, and they all guessed after getting up to send them off. Some said that it seemed that the war had changed, and some said that it was not someone who had been captured, and there was a lot of disagreement.

Yang Jun hurriedly entered the second entrance, and someone came to report that the person had been brought to the second entrance room. Yang Jun immediately rushed over, and when he entered the door, he saw a gorgeously dressed young man with his mouth gagged. Yelushi sent an envoy to the Great Zhou, how could Yang Jun not know him, was that not Yelushi or who?

"Who captured him? Where is the man who sent him? Yang Jun frowned and asked.

The guards were saying in a deep voice: "Return to the marshal, the person who sent him here left this person at the gate of the northern city and left." They only told the defenders of the city that this man was an important figure in the Liao State, and their master gave the marshal a large gift, and captured him and gave him to the marshal. They also said that the crossing of the Sanggan River had been controlled by them, and in order to prevent the fleeing troops from Zhuozhou from destroying the boats at the ferry, they asked the commander to immediately send someone to take over. They will leave tonight and will no longer guard the ferry. Captain Zhang, who was guarding the city, did not dare to delay, and immediately reported the matter and sent this person to the city lord's mansion. ”

Yang Jun was stunned and frowned, "Who actually gave me this big gift?" actually knew how to control the ferry and captured the prince of Liao and gave it to the old man? It's weird. Could it be that there are fine works within the Liao State and want to cooperate with us? ”

"This man...... Is it the prince of Liao? The guards next to him were surprised.
