Li Jiqian defeated Linzhou and withdrew his troops back to the party.

This is indeed great news for Guo Da.

Without Li Jiqian's deterrence, Guo Da could attack Fengzhou without any scruples.

The wild beggar is also a threat in Guo Da's heart.

However, Ye Qi Ganbo is now being held by Yang Qi.

Guo Da led the crowd to invade Fengzhou, and there would hardly be any more obstacles.

Even if you can't take the entire territory of Toyosu, you only need to take the two counties east of Toyozhou, plus three iron mines.

Guo Da's status in the vassal forces of the Xiao clan will rise in a straight line.

The Liao people lack iron, which is a well-known thing.

Guo Da, who had made up his mind, immediately gathered his troops and began to reorganize the army.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

Guo Da deeply understands this truth.

30,000 Liao troops, plus 20,000 servants of the Han people of Liao, under the leadership of Guo Da, invaded the territory of Fengzhou.

Fengzhou, Shengzhou, Daizhou, at the junction of the three states, Lao Yang, who is always concerned about the battle situation, scratches his ears and cheeks when he sees it.

He's got a bit of an itchy hand.

The newly integrated Datong Army under his command basically accounts for eighty percent of the recruits, and if you want to quickly hone the recruits into elites, you must hone them through continuous war.

Only an elite soldier who has been calcined by the flames of war will become a sharp sword.

Lao Yang is already over half a hundred years old, and he has no time to carve the Puyu in his hands one by one, so he can only speed up the process of honing elite soldiers through continuous battles.

However, he rushed to the junction of the three states, wanting to ask for a chance to fight, but no one gave him a chance.

Whether it is Guo Da in Shengzhou or Ye Qi Ganbo in Fengzhou, they seem to have subconsciously forgotten the existence of Daizhou.

Even the soldiers under their command chose to bypass Daizhou far away, not giving Lao Yang a chance to make trouble at all.

"Master, the villain thinks that you should go back with the Datong Army."

Old Ge gritted his toothless mouth and said dryly.

Since Lao Yang seized the power of his son and took charge of the Datong Army, Lao Ge has risen to become a personal soldier by Lao Yang's side, and has been responsible for serving Lao Yang's side.

Lao Yang sat in the makeshift military tent with a golden knife, his face was as black as iron stone, "The old man has been crisscrossing the field for many years, when should he send troops, when should he withdraw the army, and he has a free strategy in his chest, and it is not your turn to teach the old man a lesson." ”

Lao Ge smiled bitterly: "Master, it's all different from the past. In the past, you led the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and when you went out on the expedition, the imperial court was responsible for all the supplies. Now you are leading the Datong Army, and the Datong Army is only a box army, although it is also the food and salary of the imperial court, but the salary and silver distributed by the imperial court are not enough for so many people to eat and chew.

We have been here for more than half a month, and there is no progress at all, and if we continue to consume it, there will not be enough food and grass. ”

Lao Yang had a dark face and said in a deep voice: "If the grain and grass are not enough, then collect grain from Daizhou." ”

When Lao Ge heard this, his face became more and more depressed, "Master, Daizhou is now in power by the Seventh Master, and the Seventh Master handed over the affairs of Daizhou to Kou Zhun, the guy who doesn't eat oil and salt." We can't speak in front of Kou Zhun, and Kou Zhun can't allow us to collect grain in Daizhou. ”

"Bang!"

Lao Yang slapped the table and said angrily: "It's against him, the old man just asked him if he wanted it, can he still give it?" ”

Lao Ge cried and laughed: "Master, now that the spring ploughing has just passed, and it is not time for the autumn harvest to collect grain, even if you ask him for grain, he will have a reason to shirk." Can you still force him to steal food from the people, sir? Even if he robbed it, the soldiers of the Datong Army might not necessarily eat it. ”

The soldiers of the Datong Army are all young and strong people in Daizhou, and if they really steal food from the local people in Daizhou, I am afraid that they will rebel immediately.

Of course, Lao Ge said that, he was just explaining to Lao Yang the difficulty of requisitioning grain.

Lao Yang blew his beard and glared at him and roared: "He is a state capital yamen, and now he is building a private school, and he is repairing bridges and roads, and he scatters tens of thousands of taels of silver every day." Let him come up with a little to supply the army, it's so difficult? ”

Lao Ge said helplessly: "Master, the subordinates are still the same sentence, now it is the Seventh Master who is in charge of Daizhou, and the money and grain in Daizhou are controlled by the Seventh Master." If the seventh master doesn't let go, no one can get the money. ”

Lao Yang stood up suddenly, glared and roared: "It's the other way around, he's a little rabbit cub, and he rode on the old man's head?" Send someone to find him now and tell him to prepare the money and food of the Datong Army for three months, otherwise don't blame the old man for implementing the family law. ”

Lao Ge was stunned, shook his head and said, "Master, the seventh master has been missing for almost a month since he left the house that day. ”

Lao Yang said angrily: "A big living person, just disappeared for no reason? ”

Wang Gui, who had just entered the tent, heard the conversation between Lao Yang and Lao Ge, coughed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates may know the whereabouts of Qilang." ”

Lao Yang and Wang Gui are not so polite, the two of them have been fighting together for decades, and their relationship is deeper than that of brothers.

Hearing Wang Gui's words, Lao Yang immediately asked, "Where is it?" ”

Wang Gui arched his hand, and said with a somewhat strange face: "According to the report of his spies, it is very likely that Qilang will be mixed with the revival army that is stirring up trouble in Linzhou and Fengzhou.

According to the latest news, a few days ago, Daro and Goro were in contact with Shichiro at the southwest intersection of Daishu and Toyoshu.

Shichiro gave Daro and Goro 60,000 war horses, and at the same time entrusted them with a large sum of money.

After Dalang and Gorou received the war horse, they didn't seem to have any intention of returning to Daishu. Instead, he took war horses, covering the lines of Toyosu and Daishu, and was collecting the refugees who had escaped from Toyosu.

According to his subordinates, it is very likely that this revival army has been controlled by Shichiro. ”

I can't help it, Wang Gui's face is not weird.

As far as he knew, when Yang Qi left Daizhou, he left alone.

Then, with him alone, in just one month, he stirred up the situation in the northwest.

It can be said that the current chaotic situation in the northwest was completely provoked by Yang Qi alone.

In this way, Yang Qi not only did not have any losses, but judging from the war horses and property he sent back, he also gained a lot.

Even, he has already controlled a gradually stronger army and horses.

These are unheard of things for Wang Gui.

He had never encountered that a person could make such a big move with his own strength.

I think that at the beginning, when he first met Yang Qi, Yang Qi was just a fledgling little guy.

You have to ask him for help in the slightest thing, and even in the end, you need him to help finish it.

Now, in just a few years, Yang Qi has already become terrifying.

Its means are not weaker than the bigwigs in the court.

In four words, it is to turn the clouds and rain.

Hearing Wang Gui's words, the anger on Lao Yang's face froze, and he tried to look at Lao Ge.

Lao Ge understood, and hurriedly ran to the door of the tent to guard the door to prevent others from eavesdropping.

After confirming that the tent was safe, Lao Yang calmed down and asked Wang Gui, "Brother, is what you just said true?" ”

Wang Gui nodded solemnly and said, "It's true." ”

Lao Yang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Brother, tell me, what do I want to do as a son?" ”

Wang Gui was stunned, and stopped talking.

After all, some things are just speculation for him and have not been confirmed, so it's hard to talk nonsense.

Lao Yang seemed to see Wang Gui's thoughts, and he said solemnly: "Brother, you and I have been friends for many years, not brothers, but better than brothers. In front of the old brother, what do you have to hide? Say whatever comes to mind. ”

Wang Gui hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "As far as I know, in this war in the northwest, the family won Linzhou. ”

Lao Yang raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "That little rabbit cub got mixed up with the Zhe family?" ”

"Big brother!"

Wang Gui roared and said solemnly: "The grievances between the Yang family and the Zhe family are no longer the point. The point is to fold the family and get Linzhou. ”

"Hiss~"

After Wang Gui's reminder, Lao Yang understood the meaning of Wang Gui's words.

Now that the war situation in the northwest is chaotic, the Zhejia family took the opportunity to occupy Linzhou.

So Yang Qi, who is very likely to be the initiator, how can it be a soldier or horse, or tens of thousands of war horses can be satisfied?

Lao Yang was shocked and said, "Brother, what do you mean...... Shichiro wants to take Toyoshu?! ”

This is something that Lao Yang can't think of.

Lao Yang has always lived in the rules all his life.

used to live in the rules of the Northern Han Dynasty, and after surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, those who lived in the rules of the Great Song Dynasty.

But whether it is the rules of the Northern Han Dynasty or the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, one thing remains the same.

That is, with the permission of the imperial court, you have laid down a territory that does not belong to the imperial court, which is called opening up territory.

However, without the permission of the imperial court, it is a felony to lay down a territory that does not belong to the imperial court.

Among them, he was involved in a number of major crimes, such as the unauthorized mobilization of troops and horses, and the incompatibility between the two countries.

Wang Gui nodded solemnly, indicating that what Lao Yang said was exactly what he guessed in his heart.

Lao Yang was shocked: "This is not a good thing, if this matter reaches the imperial court, it will be a big crime......

Lao Yang was shocked, and roared urgently: "No, the old man has to quickly find a way to call that rebel back." If he really takes Fengzhou, it will be over. ”

"Big brother."

Wang Gui suddenly spoke, stared at Lao Yang in a daze, and said in a deep voice: "This may be an opportunity for the Yang family. And, as far as I know, Shichiro is not a reckless person. Since he dared to do this, he must have already figured out how to end it. ”

Lao Yang said angrily: "How can this matter be ended?" Once Fengzhou was taken, the hat of trying to stand on his own feet and plotting against him was deducted from the Yang family. When the time comes, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it. It will even be exterminated by the imperial court.

One is not good, you and me, and even you and my family members, have to be buried with them. ”

The voice landed.

Lao Yang was ready to recruit people to arrest Yang Qi back.

Wang Gui took a step forward and grabbed Lao Yang's arm.

Lao Yang was stunned, frowned and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing?" ”

Wang Gui said solemnly: "Old brother, you listen to me first." ”

Lao Yang said coldly: "What else is there to say so far, could it be that you also want to go crazy with that kid?" ”

Wang Gui let go of Lao Yang's arm, bowed down and said, "Old brother, do you think the Yang family has reached this point, is there still a way out?" In Bianjing, elder brother, you did not hesitate to offend the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty, and made your courtiers the role of a lonely minister, but you were still framed and suppressed.

You retreat and retreat, but the enemy is pressing.

Up to now, the Yang family's 8,000 volcanic army has been exhausted, and the Yang family's title has been exhausted.

Do you want to retreat?

If you retreat again, the Yang family will only die. ”

Lao Yang stared at Wang Gui with complicated eyes, as if he knew Wang Gui for the first time.

He said in a gloomy voice: "What if you don't retreat?" To learn from Wang Mang, or to learn from Huang Chao? The old man can do anything, even if it costs the lives of the whole family. But the old man resolutely can't be a thief. The reputation of the Yang family cannot be broken in the hands of the old man.

The old man can't let his future children and grandchildren, so he can't hold his head up. ”

"Hey~"

Wang Gui let out a long sigh and said, "That's it, I can't persuade you, old brother." But I want to ask my brother. If Qilang retreats, will the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe be able to stop Guo Da's Liao soldiers? ”

Lao Yang said proudly: "If you can't stop it, what does it have to do with the old man?" ”

Wang Gui said coldly: "Once the Yeqi tribe defeats Fengzhou, Guo Da will be stationed in Fengzhou. Your Yang family and my Wang family will become sinners through the ages. ”

Lao Yang frowned, he had already heard what Wang Gui meant from Wang Gui's words.

However, he still refused to admit defeat, he stiffened his neck and said: "Even if the Liao people enter Fengzhou, the old man will do his best to prevent the Liao people from making a single step." ”

"Hehehe~"

Wang Gui shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother, you are deceiving yourself. At the beginning, we guarded Yanmen Pass, and we still had more than enough strength in the face of the Liao people.

Once the Liao people bypassed the Yanmen Pass and entered this Fengzhou directly. At that time, there will be no danger in the north of Daizhou.

The Liao people are moving south, how many people can you and I stop?

At that time, you can only let go of Daizhou and let the forbidden army station.

Once the forbidden army enters Daizhou, how will your Yang family gain a foothold?

Even if you don't care.

But the foot soldiers of the forbidden army, against the Liao cavalry, especially on the plains of Daizhou and Fengzhou, who is stronger and who is weak?

At that time, if you want to stop the southern invasion of the Liao people, you must have nearly 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in Daizhou.

Do you think that with the special nature of our dynasty, Your Majesty will allow 200,000 forbidden troops to be stationed in Daizhou?

Will Your Majesty allow the Forbidden Army to be in the hands of someone else?

As long as the forbidden army is slightly wrong, the Liao people can invade the south on a large scale.

At that time, the land of the Central Plains will inevitably fall into the flames of war.

The people of my Han family will also fall into dire straits.

Can't you see these? ”

Lao Yang stared at his eyes and breathed heavily, but he couldn't say a word.

He had to admit that what Wang Gui said was reasonable.

Wang Gui sighed and said, "Whether to become a thief of the family or a thief of the whole nation is all in the thought of the elder brother." ”
