Chapter 331: Someone from Yongzhou
Everyone couldn't believe it, and confirmed again and again, is the war really over?
The Youyi army on the Danan Pass clearly told them that Yulin was in the hands of the Youyi army, and there was no longer a single enemy north of Liangshan, and the war launched by Li Yue was really over.
Now that Li Yue's people have withdrawn and will definitely not come back in the short term, the Xuanwei army does not need to evacuate Liangshan in a hurry.
"Open the north gate immediately, and bury the corpses outside the city within two days and dispose of them." Regardless of how this battle was won, the withdrawal of Li Yue's entire army was definitely good news for Liangshan.
"We're not leaving?" Su Zhong was still thinking about You Yijun's capture of Yulin, and his head hadn't turned a corner yet.
"Clean up the corpses, eliminate the hidden danger of disease and plague, Liangshan City is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and then we will wait for the opportunity to take the west pass of the city, Li Yue people will be blocked in the south of Daliang Mountain, and can only break the idea of going north to Yulin and Yongzhou. In this way, between Li Yueguo and the Great Song Dynasty, there are two passes and two border cities in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, why should they be withdrawn? Yang Congyi smiled.
"The prison army is right, when we have a rest, we will definitely recapture the pass in the west of the city." Yuan Hua was in high spirits.
Liu Shi immediately responded: "Okay, I'll take the lead when the time comes." β
"Okay, let's talk about the capture of the pass later, and the top priority is to dispose of the corpses outside the city. Mobilize the young and strong, dig a deep pit in the north of the city, and dispose of the corpse, you must be fast! "There is no delay in dealing with the dead bodies, and the later it is, the more dangerous it is.
Yang Congyi emphasized it many times, and everyone knew that it was powerful, so he didn't say much, quickly left the house, and went to dispose of the corpse outside the city overnight.
The north gate was quickly dug up, and 5,000 Liangshan Qingzhuang, together with thousands of Xuanwei troops, immediately dug a deep pit in the north of the city.
The lights inside and outside Liangshan City were bright, and when I heard that the pit was going to be dug to bury the corpses, many people took the initiative to help, and the Xuanwei Army naturally did not refuse, the more the better.
No one knows how long it will take to dig the big pit where tens of thousands of corpses will be completed, but they have the strength to dig it all the time.
At noon the next day, when the pit was digging outside the city, a carriage came from the north, followed by hundreds of neatly dressed guards, and when it approached Liangshan City, the carriage was blocked by corpses everywhere.
"Why don't you go? Is it there? A voice came from the carriage.
"Back to Lord Wu, Liangshan City is a hundred zhang away." The commander of the guard, who was riding on a horse next to the carriage, stepped forward and replied.
"Then why don't you leave?" The people in the car were a little displeased.
"Back to Lord Wu, there has been a big battle here recently, there are corpses everywhere, the road leading to the city has been blocked tightly, the carriage cannot pass, and I am trying to find a way to enter the city." The Commander of the Guards replied.
"Hmm." The man in the car, Mr. Wu, answered and stopped talking.
The commander of the guard stretched out his hand to beckon the two of them: "You go to the front and see how you can enter the city." β
The two sergeants received the order and quickly went to explore the way.
A quarter of an hour later, the two reported: "The road at the north gate is completely blocked by corpses, and the east gate and west gate cannot be opened for the time being, so you can only enter the city from the east gate and the south gate." β
The commander of the guards waved his hand: "Go to the east gate." β
The two led the way, and the convoy quickly turned around and made a detour to the south gate.
Yang Congyi, who was patrolling the city, soon received a report from the Xuanwei Army outside the city: "Supervising the army, a team of people has come from the north of the city, one of them is Lord Wu from Yongzhou, and they have made a detour to the south gate. β
Hearing this news, Yang Congyi was shocked, and without saying a word, he quickly went to the south gate to wait.
Putting down the drawbridge and opening the south gate, the Xuanwei army lined up at the city gate, and Yang Congyi stood at the front of the team.
After a while, I saw a carriage slowly approaching the south gate under the escort of hundreds of sergeants.
Yang Congyi hurriedly led people across the suspension bridge, and only stopped when he walked about ten steps away from the carriage, and said in a loud voice: "Yang Congyi, the superintendent of the Xuanwei Army, has seen Lord Wu!" β
A person in the carriage opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw a person in a scarlet official uniform sitting in the middle of the carriage, about fifty years old, with a rich face and quite majestic, it was Lord Wu who came all the way from Yongzhou.
Lord Wu looked up and down at the tall young man in front of him, with slightly dark skin and a resolute face, and the soldiers behind him, and then said: "Yang Jianjun, this official has heard that the Xuanwei army is brave and good at fighting in Yongzhou, and you have won a lot of battles when you come from afar, and you are worthy of the name of Xuanwei, and you should be a model for the whole army in Yongzhou." β
Yang Congyi was flattered, and immediately said humbly: "Lord Wu has won the award, I really don't dare to wait." Several small victories are all thanks to the soldiers who used their lives to repay the country with their deaths. The Yongzhou army blocked hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, did not let the enemy army approach, and protected Yongzhou thoroughly, such feats, the Xuanwei army was far behind. β
Lord Wu said with a smile: "Don't be modest with the Yang Supervision Army, what victories the Xuanwei Army has won, this official knows very well, the war is over, and the battle report will be sent to Lin'an in a hurry, waiting for the imperial court to commend it." β
Yang Congyi clasped his fists and saluted again: "Xiaguan and Xuanwei Army, thank you Lord Wu for your support!" β
Lord Wu saw that the young man in front of him was calm and humble, well-spoken and polite, not at all like other generals, who was arrogant and domineering after winning the battle, and he was very satisfied.
"It's windy outside the city, Lord Wu, let's go to the city." When a gust of wind comes, I only feel cold, and the winter in Liangshan is also cold.
"Okay, let's talk when we go into town." Lord Wu lowered the curtain.
Yang Congyi turned around, followed the carriage, and quickly entered the city.
After arriving at the mansion and chatting with Yang Congyi for a while, Lord Wu took the rest of the hall out of the hall.
Seeing this, Yang Congyi's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, but he didn't show it.
I saw that Lord Wu's face changed, and the smile on his face was retracted, and then he said: "Yang Jianjun, Xuanwei Army can hold on to Liangshan for nearly a month, this official really can't imagine it, and no one in Yongzhou can think of it, it's really unexpected." If Yongzhou had learned that Li Yue's enemy's grain and grass had been destroyed, and the army had taken the initiative to attack, the war would not have dragged on for several months, and it was not long ago that the Xuanwei army occupied Liangshan and cut off the enemy's food and grass supply, but Yongzhou speculated that Liangshan would soon be recaptured by the enemy, and it would not have much impact on the enemy near Yongzhou. When Li Yue's army arrived near Yulin, the defenders followed, only to know that Yulin, Da Nanguan, and Liangshan were all in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and Li Yue's back road was blocked by hundreds of thousands of troops, so he proposed peace talks, and the imperial court also brought a will, hoping to end the war before the year, and on the condition of not asking the prince Li Yue, in exchange for Li Yue's army to return to the border, both sides had the intention of peace talks, and after a brief communication, negotiations were held in Ningming.
But Li Yueren was obviously not interested in their prince, and they didn't care if the Great Song Dynasty was guilty or not, and only put forward one condition, they wanted Yulin City, gave them Yulin City, and then they would strike the army and truce the war, and guarantee that they would never send troops to attack and disturb them again within ten years. Cutting land is not what the Great Song Dynasty court wants, but Yulin is located in the border barren, poor mountains and bad waters, the population is only 10,000, if you can exchange a small town for ten years of peace in Guangnan, it is not impossible, and Li Yue has 100,000 troops at this time, and you can forcibly occupy Yulin City in an instant, if you don't agree, I don't know when this war will be fought, but after weighing and choosing, in the end I still did not agree to Li Yueren's request. Li Yue was annoyed and angry, so he drove an army of 100,000 to Yulin City, and took Yulin City overnight, so that the negotiations between the two sides broke down.
The next day, Li Yue sent a large army to attack Liangshan, but within two days, they heard that Li Yue people had suffered losses in Liangshan, so they took the initiative to come to the peace talks again, willing to exchange Yulin and Da Nanguan for Liangshan. Liangshan is Li Yue's place, sandwiched between Yulin and Li Yue, sooner or later they will be snatched back, now both sides take a step back, we take back Yulin, they take back Liangshan, it is an equal exchange, and it can be regarded as us taking advantage. After a little discussion, the two parties immediately reached a settlement, and signed and sealed on the same day. The next day, Li Yue's army really withdrew from Yulin City one after another, and in less than two days, the withdrawal was clean, Yulin City and Da Nanguan were successfully recovered, and there was only one last step left before the end of the war. β
After saying what happened, Lord Wu looked at Yang Congyi and stopped talking.
After hearing these words, Yang Congyi felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, no matter how much he wanted to say, no matter how much he said, no matter how much he did, what was the use?
After being silent for a long time, he asked, "Lord Wu came today, is it to inform the Xuanwei Army to withdraw from Liangshan?" β
Master Wu said: "There is another small thing. β
Yang Congyi tried hard to calm himself, but he couldn't do it, and his depressed anger hung directly on his face, and asked, "What else is there, Lord Wu, please tell me directly." β
Lord Wu coughed dryly and said: "I heard that Li Yue people have accumulated a lot of grain, grass and ordnance in Liangshan, and the Xuanwei army has occupied Liangshan for some time, have you figured it out?" β
This was a tact, but Yang Congyi didn't understand what he meant, so he replied: "Actually, Lord Wu doesn't have to come to this trip with the stench of the city, as long as there is an order, all the food and military materials in Liangshan City, the Xuanwei army will be sent to Yulin, and we will also withdraw from Liangshan City immediately." β
Lord Wu's face was slightly embarrassed, but after a moment, he returned to normal, and only listened to him: "The Xuanwei army does not avoid difficulties, sticks to Liangshan, and comes to offer condolences, but the road from Yongzhou to Liangshan is difficult and dangerous, and it is not until today that I can come." β
No matter how hard Yang Congyi tried, he couldn't squeeze out a smile on his face, and asked dryly: "I don't know when the imperial court will let us leave Liangshan, and when will we send grain, grass and military materials to Yulin City?" β
Wu Dadao: "Li Yue people have fulfilled their promise to retreat, and we must also retreat as soon as possible to end the war." It is best to evacuate Liangshan before noon tomorrow. As for the grain and grass and military materials, the Xuanwei army held on to Liangshan, and must be tired, so let Yulin send someone to carry it. β
Hearing this, Yang Congyi was even more depressed and helpless, even if he withdrew the army, even the captured spoils had to be handed over to Yu Lin, this kind of battle was really aggrieved.
But he is just an eight-rank petty military attachΓ©, the supervisor of the Hui Yi Guard, how can he have disobedient capital. A low-level military attache like him, who has no background and no background, what can he do if he is disobedient?
