Yang Wu nodded solemnly on the side and said, "The people behind the layout are really ruthless, this is to swallow the Yan Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom in one fell swoop, and drive us to extinction." ”

Yang Liu said heavily: "If we don't find out in advance, even if our brothers fight to the death, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it." ”

Yang Qi grinned and said, "But we found out in advance?!" ”

The four brothers looked at each other and smiled.

After laughing.

Yang Qi regained his seriousness, he pointed to the map and said, "Before you came, I had already deduced this war. The Liao soldiers were divided into four routes, respectively from the four directions of Dongshengfu, Gubeikou, Yuguan, and Gangcheng, to invade our Yan country.

Gubeikou and Yuguan all have heavy troops.

So the Liao army in these two directions is not to be worried.

However, at the two points of Dongsheng Mansion and Gangcheng, the Liao State will inevitably send heavy troops to raid.

The fifth brother led the iron cavalry army to hold the Dongsheng Mansion, but it was still very difficult to deal with the light cavalry of the Liao State.

Although the rangers were able to gallop to the aid of Dongsheng Mansion, the serious injuries of the Fallen Sons had not healed, and the combat effectiveness of the rangers was inevitably greatly reduced.

Even if the Iron Cavalry and the Ranger Army joined forces, it would still be difficult to deal with the Liao Army.

And at that time, the Zhejia army will inevitably be dragged down by Li Jiqian.

And other places could not draw troops and horses to gallop to the aid of Dongsheng Mansion.

So I'm worried about the defense of Dongsheng Mansion. ”

Yang Da and Yang Wu glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was a little stunned.

Yang Da smiled and said, "Seventh brother, I'm afraid it's been a long time since I went to the four northwestern mansions to take a look." You may have forgotten the people of the four northwestern provinces, but the people of the four northwestern provinces have not forgotten you. Especially the soldiers who have fought with us......"

Yang Wu said with a complicated expression: "Brother Fool is a few years older than you, and he has experienced more than you." Brother Yu once stayed in the Northern Han Dynasty and also in the Song Kingdom, and fought in the south and north for decades. But I have never seen such a people......"

Yang Qi looked at the two brothers blankly, "In the end...... What's going on......"

Yang Da let out a long sigh and looked at Yang Qi with envy, "Brother Wei has never seen a monarch who is so loved by the people. ”

Yang Wu was straight, he didn't like to sell guanzi, he saw that Yang Qi was in a hurry, so he said calmly: "My eldest brother and I were on the way here, passing through the county governments of the four prefectures in the northwest, and we all saw the soldiers who fought with us in the south and the north in the past, one by one, wearing the armor of the past, wearing the hilt of the past, sitting at the door, waiting for your call. ”

Yang Da added: "When I came, the mausoleum keepers of Zhongyi Mountain deliberately blocked the gate of Fuxing Pass and knelt down to ask for their lives. They told me that if Yan Guo needed it, they would be crippled and could fight for Yan Guo at any time. ”

Yang Qizhi was stunned and froze in place.

He didn't expect that at this time of crisis, the people did not abandon him to flee for their lives, but chose to live and die with him.

A feeling of emotion can't stop surging into my heart.

Yang Qi slowly closed his eyes, afraid that he would shed tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "They ...... Most of them were wounded soldiers who went to war again......"

"They are not afraid of death......"

Yang Da said with a sigh.

They are indeed not afraid of death.

If you are afraid of death, you will not stand up in this time of crisis.

Yang Qi opened his eyes and said heavily, "I don't want to use them ......"

Yang Da was silent.

Yang Wu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't need them, you can only recruit the old pawns of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that have been dismissed." Most of the old soldiers in the sixteen states of Yanyun are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they have not been trained all year round under the oppression of the Liao people. Weak combat effectiveness......"

Calling them is no different than sending them to death.

Yang Wu didn't say this.

The four brothers fell silent for a moment.

There is no doubt that it is the most cost-effective and the most likely to win now to recruit the veterans who followed them in the north and south.

However, Yang Qi struggled very much in his heart.

These retrenched soldiers who returned to their hometowns were more or less wounded.

When these people go to war, they must have the ambition of death.

has the ambition to die, and the combat effectiveness will naturally not be weak.

But on the other hand, because of their bodies, they will also die a lot.

Yang Qi really couldn't bear to send all these people to the battlefield.

"You don't have a choice......"

Yang Da sighed and whispered.

Yang Qi nodded helplessly.

"Yes! I don't have a choice. ”

Yang Qi slowly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't live up to my Yang Yansi, and I Yang Yansi don't live up to your ......."

"Peng Pai!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Pass the order, and all over the four prefectures in the northwest, the "General Order" will be ......"

Peng Pai nodded solemnly and exited the room.

This order was given.

Yang Qi seemed to have taken off a layer of skin, he sat on the chair weakly, and said quietly: "With their help, Dongsheng Mansion will definitely be able to hold it." What about Harbor City? ”

Yang Liu said solemnly: "The newly built 30,000 water army under my command is vulnerable in the water war. But they were also drawn from the former foot soldiers, and with swords, they could also be used.

Add in the 40,000 you deployed, and that's 70,000.

It should be able to hold two hundred miles of coastline. ”

Yang Qi shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Not enough...... Inadequate...... I not only want to defend the Yan Kingdom, but I also want to teach Song and Liao a painful lesson. ”

Yang Da frowned and said, "But we don't have any soldiers and horses to deploy......"

Yang Qi frowned and said in a low voice: "I'll think about this matter again, let's talk about who is on that side." ”

Yang Wu patted his chest and said, "Dongsheng Mansion belongs to me. Let me be a little bit more inclined to ......."

Yang Da cried and laughed: "Then I can only go to Gubeikou once......"

Yang Liu said solemnly: "Leave the port city to me......"

At this moment, Yang Qi slowly shook his head and said, "Sixth brother, hand over the port city to me." You take a trip to Yuguan. ”

Yang Da and the three of them were stunned.

Yang Wu was stunned and said, "You don't sit in Yanjing City?" ”

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "What am I doing in Yanjing City?" Do you add to the chaos? ”

Yang Wu scratched his head and frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Da and Yang Liu had already guessed Yang Qi's intentions.

Both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Yang Da pointed at Yang Qi and said with a smile: "You, you, after the battle this time, I'm afraid a family law will be inevitable." ”

Yang Wu scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang Da said quietly: "Dad is ...... in Yanjing City"

Yang Wu was stunned, and looked at Yang Qi with a depressed expression, "You even calculate ...... father"

Yang Qi said with an innocent face: "I don't have ...... Dad has been idle all these years, and for Dad, an invincible general, not being able to go to the battlefield is a kind of torture. I just did what I should do as a son, and I obeyed my father's wishes, which can be regarded as a filial piety. ”

Yang Da cried and laughed: "If you are so filial in the world, I'm afraid you are the only one." ”

Yang Qi grinned rarely.

The art of war is cloudy: its speed is like a forest, its speed is like the wind, aggression is like fire, and immobility is like a mountain.

Here are four tips.

Lao Yang can be regarded as practicing immobility to the realm of transformation.

There is Lao Yang, who is already idle and fast to rust, and the Dinghai God Needle is sitting in Yanjing City.

Who can make big waves in Yanjing City?

As for whether Lao Yang will make a move, Yang Qi is not worried at all.

With Lao Yang's temperament, when it really comes to a critical time, I am afraid that if others do not invite him out of the mountain, he will not hesitate to seize the military power of Yanjing City.

Then he gave a hard lesson to the thieves who made trouble.

When the enemy is defeated, he will not hesitate to throw his military power.

Throw the Yang family brothers a mountain back.

This is not Yang Qi's blind guessing.

That's what Lao Yang did in Gubeikou when he was old last year.

quietly killed tens of thousands of reinforcements from the Liao army, and then by the time the Yang brothers arrived, Lao Yang had already flicked his sleeves and flashed.

He seemed to be using this to tell the Yang brothers.

Fight?

Your brother is still a little tender.

It's not like I'm going to let Lao Tzu wipe your ass.

Regarding Lao Yang's bad taste, Yang Qi couldn't cry or laugh.

However, he had to admit that Lao Yang's attainments in the art of war had indeed reached the peak.

With Lao Yang in charge, Yang Qi is down-to-earth.

After a short reunion, the four brothers set out on their own journeys.

On the occasion of parting.

Yang Qi sent Yang Da and the three to the official road.

Yang Qi looked at the three brothers on horseback, hugged his fists and said, "The three elder brothers take care all the way, remember the advice of the younger brother." ”

Yang Wu tugged on the reins of the horse and said with a happy smile: "Remember, if you lose your land, you will lose both people and land; Save people and lose land, and people and land are gained. If we really can't beat it, we will run, and we won't fight stupidly with others. ”

Yang Da and Yang Liu just nodded and did not speak.

Yang Qi secretly shook his head and sighed.

Don't look at the atmosphere that Yang Wu said.

Yang Qi is precisely the most worried about Yang Wu.

Yang Wu has an upright temperament and is unwilling to lose to others.

In the event of a war, it is inevitable to fight to the death.

In terms of danger, Yang Wu is the most dangerous among the brothers.

After encountering danger, Yang Da may weigh again and again and choose the most advantageous one.

This path is life and death.

But in comparison, it is safer than Yang Wuhui.

As for Yang Liu, Yang Qi was not worried.

When it was really time to escape, Yang Liu would retreat without hesitation.

Yang Qi's heartfelt words, he naturally couldn't say it.

Losing the face of the brothers and distracting them on the battlefield is not what Yang Qi wants.

"Take care!"

"Take care!"

After the salute again.

Yang Da and the three of them drove their horses away from the mountain pass with their personal entourage.

Yang 5 goes to the northwest, Yang Da goes due north, and Yang 6 goes northeast.

After Yang Qi said goodbye to his three brothers, he returned to the martial arts arena in the mountain, gathered 10,000 horses from the Shenji Battalion, and embarked on a journey to Hong Kong City.

……

Three days later.

Revival off.

Zhongyi Mountain.

The old man carried a flagpole and was covered in armor, leaning against the trunk of a tree and dozing.

A man who was missing an arm passed in front of the old man with a hoe and said jokingly: "Wangtou, are you still carrying your flagpole?" Why, do you still want to carry the flag for Your Majesty? ”

The dozing old man opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes slowly became clear, and he was stunned in an instant.

"Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths...... The old man, this flagpole was given by His Majesty. In the past, it was just a humble poplar pole, but now it is a royal thing.

As far as you're a kid, you don't even have the qualifications to touch it......

The old man knocks you with it, and you can only stand and be beaten......"

In this Zhongyi Mountain, the person who can be called His Majesty must be Yang Qi.

And there is only one old man who has carried the flag for Yang Qi.

That is Wang Xing, who once followed Yang Qi in the bloody battle of Fuxing Pass.

Wang Xing is also a veteran of the Fuxing Army, after the first battle of Fuxing Pass, Yang Qi remembered his old age and was unwilling to let Wang Xing follow him, so he let Wang Xing go to Zhongyi Mountain and become a mausoleum guard.

Although Wang Xing couldn't go to the battlefield, he never dropped the flagpole in his hand.

Because he always remembered that Yang Qi said it when he handed him the flagpole.

People are in the flag, people are dead, and the flag is dead.

Even if there is no battle flag left on the flagpole.

Wang Xing still had to keep it vertical, not horizontal.

looked at Wang Xing blowing his beard and glaring, making a gesture to fight.

The one-armed man immediately said with a smile: "What Wang Tou said is that who on this Zhongyi Mountain doesn't know that Wang Tou is the only person who has helped His Majesty carry the flag." Everyone admires it. ”

Wang Xing pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Count you as acquaintances......"

The one-armed man came to Wang Xing's side and sat down, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said with a solemn face: "Wang Tou, you are the most well-informed on weekdays, is there no news from His Majesty in Yanjing City?" ”

Wang Xing frowned and shook his head.

The one-armed man's expression suddenly darkened.

But it didn't take long for him to raise his head again, and said with a look of hope: "Your Majesty is a god who came into the world, and now he is the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be fine." ”

Wang Xing nodded without hesitation and said: "It must be the rumors that the thieves of Song and Liao saw that the people of our Yan Kingdom were doing well and did not let us be satisfied." ”

The one-armed man clenched his fists and said angrily: "They all owe a fight!" ”

Wang Xing also nodded resentfully.

After a pause, a wry smile appeared on his face again, "Even if they don't fight anymore, it won't be our turn to fight." I don't know if I can go to the battlefield again in my lifetime.

Glory and wealth, brocade clothes and food, old men are not rare.

The old man wanted to carry the flag for His Majesty again. ”

"Even if you die on the battlefield?"

"Hey...... Are these old brothers in our Zhongyi Mountain afraid of death? ”

"Uh...... It is also said that the brothers are buried in the ground, and they are not alone......"

The one-armed man hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I've heard that the Song and Liao countries released the news this time just to disturb our Yan Kingdom." Then they joined forces and bullied us.

According to His Majesty's temperament, he will never give in to them.

A big war is inevitable.

A few days ago, when the general left, the brothers went to Fuxing to close the door together, asking for war.

But the general did not agree.

Said to ask for His Majesty's permission.

Chief, you have carried the flag for Your Majesty and eaten well in the barracks.

Can you help us find out if there is a chance for our brothers to go to war? ”

Wang Xing was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I know that it's not good for your kid to get close to the old man, and the feeling is to let the old man help you get a place to die." ”

After a pause, Wang Xing sneered: "Then you think too much." Your Majesty is benevolent, and it is impossible to summon our remnants to the battlefield unless it is a last resort. ”

The one-armed man lowered his head and muttered, "So...... Don't have a chance? ”

Governor Wang sighed and said with a wry smile: "The old man has been waiting for almost four years, and he didn't wait for this opportunity...... I don't know if I can wait until I am alive. ”

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Wang Xing's words just fell.

The dull beat of war drums suddenly sounded.

From Fuxing Pass to Zhongyi Mountain, and from Zhongyi Mountain to Fuxing Province.

Wang Xing and the one-armed man stood up suddenly, looking stunned.

"It's ......"

"General's Order!"
