Chapter 0746 - To Each His Own Calculation (New Year...... Be happy)
"I'll go!"
Yang Wu immediately rushed to fight.
Yang San glanced at him, and said angrily: "With your character, you will die after you go." It's better for me to go, after I go, once I encounter danger, I can still maneuver around. ”
"I have experienced a hundred battles, and if I sneak attack Danzhou and sit in Danzhou, I will be able to protect Danzhou without fail. On the contrary, it is you, if Danzhou is defended by you, I am afraid that the enemy will be able to capture it with one drum. ”
"Hehe......"
The two suddenly fought together and refused to give in to each other.
Yang Qi looked at the two of them speechlessly, and pouted: "I haven't decided whether to use this tactic yet, and you start rushing to Danzhou?" ”
Yang San and Yang Wu looked at Yang Qi at the same time, which was a stupid look.
Yang Wu shouted unceremoniously: "You don't use such a favorable tactic?" Do you have a problem with your brain? ”
Yang San nodded approvingly, "This is a one-and-done solution, as long as we win, the Liao Kingdom will not be afraid in the future." Maybe we can hit the capital in one fell swoop this time. ”
Yang Qi shook his head and sighed: "Unrealistic......"
"Why?"
"We are not a behemoth like Song Liao, and in terms of heritage, we are much worse than others. If we win, we will certainly be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture more places in the Liao Kingdom.
But what about after taking these places? Do we have enough population to populate these places? Do we have enough officials to run these places? ”
Yang Qi asked himself, "We don't have ...... We don't have enough people and we don't have enough officials. Occupy so many places, no one will take care of them, and in the end they will only be reoccupied by the Liao. ”
Yang San frowned, looking down in contemplation of what Yang Qi said.
Yang Wu scratched his head and said, "Then we can only occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun?" ”
Yang Qi nodded.
Yang San thought for a while and said, "Even so, then we have to cripple the Liao people." Only when they are disabled will they not trouble us in the future. ”
After a pause, Yang San said solemnly: "I still insist on using the tactics I just said. Although it is a bit risky, once we win, we will get a stable Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. ”
Yang Wu nodded approvingly: "I also agree." ”
Yang Qi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It's too dangerous......"
"Hahaha......"
Yang San smiled heartily and said, "My generation has been fighting on the battlefield, and I have long been ready to return the horse leather shroud. Every expedition is accompanied by danger, and no one can guarantee that he will be completely unharmed for the rest of his life.
A trip to Danzhou is certainly dangerous. But after it was done, the results were also amazing.
It's worth the gamble. ”
Yang Wu said: "Even if it is a death, as long as you can recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it is worth it." ”
"But ......"
Yang Qi still hesitated.
Yang San and Yang Wu glanced at each other, and Yang San smiled and said, "Seventh brother, you have done enough." Although our brothers still don't understand your intention in doing these things, we can feel that you have done so much for us and for this family.
Otherwise, with your literary talent, it is no problem to be a chic and happy son in Bianjing City, or to dominate one party and live a comfortable life. ”
Yang Qi smiled dryly and said, "Perhaps, I was born to be a restless person. There is even the ambition to dominate the world......"
When Yang San and Yang Wu heard this, they glanced at each other again and smiled.
Yang Qi felt that their smiles were weird.
But neither of them explained too much, even Yang Wu, who was straight-hearted, didn't say anything.
Yang San and Yang Wu played a dumb riddle.
Yang San said after a while: "Let me go to Danzhou." ”
Yang Qi and Yang Wu were about to open their mouths to stop them, but Yang San didn't let them say it.
Yang San said faintly: "Just as I, who is my brother, it is the first time to use my identity as a brother to ask for a chance to go out from you." You're not going to turn me down, are you? ”
"Humph!"
Yang Wu snorted coldly, don't go over it and sulk.
Yang Qi sighed helplessly.
"Then let's do it."
Yang San said with a smile: "Then I'll go and prepare, and set off tomorrow to find the second brother round." You also have to give me a handwritten letter, so that I can send a team of soldiers and horses from my second brother. ”
Since it has been decided to use the encirclement point to send reinforcements, the tactics of encircling Youzhou City.
It was naturally impossible for Yang San to take the soldiers and horses from Tongtai Pass.
At present, the only people who can divide troops for Yang San to go to Danzhou are the soldiers and horses under Yang Er.
Yang Er has 200,000 soldiers and horses, if he gives up attacking Yuguan and rescuing Shi Shouxin, he can just divide his troops into two routes, all the way to Jizhou, all the way to Danzhou.
"Young Master......"
Not long after Yang Qisan decided on the tactics, Peng Pai came back after cleaning up the battlefield.
Peng Pai came to Yang Qi's side, bowed down and said: "Young master, after statistics, in this battle, our army killed 50,000 enemies, collected 86,400 prisoners, 230,000 Han people in Liaodi, 280,000 war horses, and countless cattle and sheep.
Our army lost 21,842 killed, 16,308 lightly wounded, and 106 seriously wounded."
"So few serious injuries?"
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Peng Pai continue to report, and Yang Qi asked in amazement.
Peng Pai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Most of the brothers who were seriously injured did not go to the battlefield, nor were they carried away by the doctors who accompanied the army, they all chose to fight to the death with the Liao people, even if they died, they also fought with the Liao army to bite the Liao people." ”
Yang Qi's mood suddenly became very heavy, "They are all loyal and righteous people!" They are the heroes of my four northwestern provinces, and as long as my four northwest provinces are still there, we can't let people forget their heroes. ”
Yang Qi instructed Peng Pai: "According to the custom, after the memorial, seal the coffin and send it to Zhongyi Mountain." ”
Peng Pai said solemnly: "No! ”
Yang Qi turned his head to Yang San and Yang Wu: "Third brother, fifth brother, follow me to pay tribute to the brothers who died in battle." ”
Yang San and Yang Wu stood up and said in a deep voice: "It should be so. ”
It's late at night.
But the soldiers didn't sleep.
They gathered in the Tongtai Gate.
On the school field at the gate of the city, a corpse with robes was neatly placed.
A bonfire lit in the middle of the school yard lit up half the sky.
Yang Qi held a bowl of water and wine high and shouted loudly, "Brothers, the soul is back!" ”
"The soul is back!"
"The soul is back!"
“……”
"On the day of breaking through Yanyun, we will meet Zhongyi Mountain again!"
"Dien!"
"Smack!"
Bowls of wine were blowing down in the wind, and the dead soldiers seemed to come back to life, and they ran to their brothers, drinking and having fun with them.
"Autumn Breeze Xiao Xiao Chou Murder ......"
“……”
Someone sang the Han Yuefu folk song "Ancient Song", and the rest of the brothers sang it along.
The singing converged into a torrent, rushing straight to Xiaohan, sending the souls of the soldiers who died in battle into the nine heavens.
The soldiers sang and sang like this.
I don't know how long I sang it.
Early the next morning.
After the soldiers woke up from their tents, they still seemed to be able to hear the song of returning home, rippling in the sky above Tongtai Pass.
Yang Qi got up very early, and the sky was bright.
Because he wanted to send Yang San out of the customs and chase Yang Er.
Before leaving, the three brothers hugged each other, patted each other on the back, and finally looked at each other and smiled, without saying a word.
It's all in plain sight.
Yang San left in a very chic manner.
He did not walk alone, but he was followed by 5,000 soldiers and 20 artillery pieces of the Heaven-Shaking Battalion, as well as 10,000 people.
These things were all brought by Yang Qi's tough request to Yang San.
With artillery, Yang San's attack on Danzhou will be much smoother.
Yang San insisted on going to Danzhou, what did he think in his heart, Yang Wu and Yang Qi had some guesses in their hearts.
The ancestors of the Yang family died on the battlefield, and there is no reason why their generation can all live unharmed.
Someone has to do something dangerous.
And when he is an elder brother, he will never watch his younger brother die before himself.
After Yang San left.
Yang Qi returned to Tongtai Pass, and after reorganizing the soldiers and horses, the army officially started and went to Youzhou City.
A group of people came out of Tongtai Pass.
By the time I arrived in Youzhou City, it was already six days later.
Because Yang Qi's command was full of heavy cavalry and escorted artillery, the march was unusually slow.
Summer is quietly drifting by, and the time has come to autumn.
The trees and flowers outside Youzhou City are faintly yellow, but they have not reached the point of withering yellow in late autumn.
Since Yang Qichun's expedition, more than half a year has passed unconsciously.
When Yang Qi arrived outside Youzhou City, he looked at the scene outside Youzhou City and smiled bitterly.
Brother Yelu Hugh is not a loss to everyone in the art of war, and the wall is not leaky.
Within ten miles outside Youzhou City, they were all bare, and only the wooden stakes that stood there.
Nothing for the rest.
Not only that, but Brother Yelu Xiu also took advantage of these few days to renovate the walls of Youzhou City.
Yelu Xiuge did not bulldoze the sloping walls of Youzhou City.
Demolished and rebuilt, there was not enough time.
He could only do a few tricks on the sloping wall, smoothing out everything on the south side of the wall that could be climbed.
Then, on the sloping city wall, a wooden support was built for the soldiers to defend the city.
In addition to this, Jeruxiugo also built many protruding arrow towers on the city walls.
There are also makeshift urn cities.
The entire Youzhou City was made like an iron bucket by Brother Yeluxiu.
Yang Qi smiled helplessly after seeing this iron bucket-like city wall.
When artillery appears on the battlefield, any impregnable fortifications will eventually become nothing.
As long as Yang Qi was willing, he could easily use gunpowder to blow up the walls of Youzhou City.
However, Yang Qi did not do this, he ordered his soldiers and horses to set up camp not far from Youzhou City, and he had no intention of attacking the city at all, but just sent out Jiao Zan, He Jing and others to go out to call for battle.
He hid in the tent he had set up, cooking tea and drinking, leisurely.
Inside the city of Youzhou.
Yelu Hugo stood on a hidden arrow tower, watching Yang Qi camp outside the city, frowning frequently.
"Why didn't he take the city?"
Brother Yelu Hugh didn't turn his head and asked Yelu Mou Lu Gu beside him.
Yelumou Lu Gu was obviously a little confused.
Although they are both members of the royal family, Yelumou Lugu is a fierce general and is not good at resourcefulness.
Why Yang Qi didn't attack the city, where did he know.
However, Yelu Hugo stared at him tightly with a pair of tiger eyes, and he could only rack his brains and come up with an answer to deal with Yelu Hugo.
"Probably tired from a long journey, and need to be repaired for a day. Doesn't Song Jun do this often? ”
Brother Yelu Xiu frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not like Yang Yansi's style. Although I don't know his strategy, I know more or less about his style.
He is a resolute person, and once he decides to do something, he will not hesitate to do it, even if it is full of difficulties.
Although Youzhou City has been built into an iron wall by me, I believe that Yang Qi must have a way to break through Youzhou City.
Now that he has a way to break through Youzhou City? Why wait. ”
Brother Yelu Xiu suddenly stopped playing the piano to the cow, he pondered for a long time, and said conclusively: "Yang Yansi must have some plan......
Yelu Hugo turned to Yelu and said, "Send someone down to investigate." ”
Yelumou Lugu beat his chest with one hand and said, "No! ”
"Wait!"
Yelumou Lugu had just walked two steps before he was stopped by Yeluxiuge.
"What else do you have to tell you?"
"Go and send someone to see where Jerod is."
"My subordinates will go."
“……”
After Yelu Huge sent Yelu Mou Lu Gu down on an errand, he continued to look at the military camps of the four northwestern prefectures outside the city in a daze.
He didn't pay attention to Jiao Zan and He Jing's calls under the city wall.
With Yelu Hugh's spicy eyes, how could he not tell that these two people were playing soy sauce.
Not long after Yelu Moulu went down, he hurried back to the city.
"How?"
"The Privy Envoy's soldiers and horses have passed through Shunzhou and are preparing to enter Yanzhou. As for what Yang Yansi's plan is, the time is too short, and his subordinates have not found out yet. ”
Yelu Hugo didn't seem to hear the second half of Yelu's words.
He heard that Yelu's soldiers and horses had passed through Shunzhou and were about to enter Yanzhou, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
As long as Yelu crossed the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xinwu Erzhou to meet, then his plan would be half of it.
Brother Yelu Xiu looked south at Yang Qi's soldiers and horses outside the city again, and said with a confident smile: "No matter how clever you are, you can't beat this king's trick." Just break through your defenses in Yunzhou. The soldiers and horses under the command of this king can drive straight in, capture Yanmen Pass, enter Daizhou, and capture your Yang family alive.
When the time comes, this king will tie the women and children of your Yang family to this city, and see how you can break this Youzhou City. ”
Yelumou Lu Gu smiled on the side: "Greater than Yue is really a clever calculation, worthy of being the god of war of my Da Liao." ”
Hearing the sound of patting the horse's ass, Yelu Huge not only did not be happy, but straightened his face and scolded: "Mou Lugu, when did you also learn the Song people's way of patting the horse's ass?"
If it is useful, how can the Song State be defeated and retreat under the attack of our Great Liao.
The reason why my Da Liao can dominate thousands of miles is because of our own bravery.
Also, you have to remember that you are a royal family, a royal family of the Yelu clan.
The most noble race of the Great Liao.
It has always been only others who pat our ass, and our Yelu clan never pat other people's ass. ”
Yelumou Lugu patted the horse's leg and was taught a lesson, but he could only hang his head and obediently admit his mistake.
"Subordinate convicted."
Jeruxiu nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, the commander of the army hurriedly went up to the arrow tower and said in a deep voice: "Da Yue, the left army supervisor of the leather room army who is responsible for escorting grain and grass has been assassinated?" ”
Yelu Hugo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Who did it?" ”
The commander of the army said in a low voice: "A group of Hannu ......"
Brother Yelu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "It must be that he looks down on those Han slaves and squeezes them too much, which has caused a backlash." Send those Han slaves to the border of Goryeo and let them dig for ginseng. At the same time, he went to warn the overseers of the army, as well as the chief stewards and quartermasters who escorted the grain and grass, that they should not be overly oppressed.
The great war is coming, and the king does not want to cause chaos. ”
"My subordinates understand."
Yelu Hugo treated the assassination of the left army supervisor of the leather room army as an ordinary Han nu rebound and injured people, and did not take this matter to heart at all.
Little did he know, however, that this was just the beginning.
Yang Qi has been operating scarecrows and volcano guards for several years, and he has spent countless amounts of money.
How many spies have lurked in the Liao Kingdom, and how deep they are lurking, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yang Qiyi to give an accurate number for a while.
Because Yang Qi prepared too much in order to deal with the Liao State.
So the number of spies lurking in Liao is really huge.
If they engage in assassinations, sneak attacks, rumors, troubles and other sabotage, they will inevitably set off a big wave in Liao.
