Chapter 367: Seeing the Sun
The battle outside Huazhou City lasted only half a day, and the Lower Tang Water Division retreated, and they docked their ships on the north bank of Huangshui, and the army was stationed in the original Central Plains Twelve Prefectures in Bingzhou, which was second only to the city close to the capital, and Huazhou City was just sandwiched on both sides of the Huangshui.
This is the most powerful Lower Tang Naval Division among all the countries, and the first battle that reappeared after decades ended so hastily, so sloppy that Yang Zhong couldn't believe his eyes. At the beginning, when the Lower Tang Water Division began to retreat towards the annexed states on the opposite bank, Yang Zhong thought that this was just a delaying tactic, in order to find a more favorable time or opportunity to attack, Yang Zhong did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and he sternly asked all the soldiers defending the city to closely monitor the enemy army.
After such a day of waiting, the officers and men of the Guangyuan Army all found that the Lower Tang Naval Division seemed to be really truce, and they had not appeared since they entered the state, only a few scattered soldiers were guarding the ships. When this news was reported to Yang Zhong, he personally came to the city to confirm that the news was not wrong, and then there were two different voices in his heart: the voice that advised him to be more careful said, "What kind of person is Yongwujian, how can he stop the army here, there must be fraud in it, and I have to guard against it!" ”; The voice that persuaded him to seize the time to make meritorious service said: "Right now, no matter what, the Guangyuan Army has repelled the Tang Naval Division, how can such a battle report be delayed any longer?" If the emperor doesn't know, what is the value of his own efforts with the soldiers of the whole army? ”
This pair of contradictory hearts has been entangled in Yang Zhong's heart back and forth, he paced the city, looking towards the merger state on the other side for a while, and looking towards the capital farther away.
But Yang Zhong didn't know these things, of course, he probably didn't care about the psychology of the soldiers, what annoyed him the most at the moment was how to do this decision, he wrote half of the battle report and stopped, and kept sending people to the city to listen to the news, many times the previous wave of people who listened to the news had not come back, and the back wave of people went out again. However, the news brought back by the same wave of people is the same, that is, the Lower Tang Water Division will not move.
In the end, the scale in Yang Zhong's heart was finally tilted, and he picked up the pen to complete the half-written battle report, and then ordered someone to send it to the capital quickly. When the herald ran out of the city with the battle report, Gu Hongxuan came to see Yang Zhong.
"General, this Tang Shui Division will definitely not give up, they must be looking for an opportunity to attack."
"How could I not know this? It is a cold day now, as long as our army continues to water the city wall, we can't help the ghost fire in the Tang Dynasty. ”
"This strategy will also be admired from the bottom of my heart!" Gu Hongxuan understood that he had to flatter Yang Zhong to make him happy, so that his future suggestions could be adopted. "General, the cold winter will pass sooner or later, and once the spring flowers bloom, the plan to build a wall with ice water will be invalid."
As soon as he reminded Yang Zhong to stand up from behind his desk, not because his plan had been discovered, but because he was incredulous about Gu Hongxuan's proposal.
"It's January now, and it's really March until the beginning of spring, do you think the Tang Shui Master will wait here for us for two whole months? If they really plan to wait like this, then I will definitely accompany them to the end, and at that time, the hands and feet of the soldiers will be more open, and the battle between the two armies will just show the strength of our Guangyuan Army! ”
"What the general said is very true! It's just that the last general heard that the commander of the Tang Shui Division is mediocre, and this person is treacherous and not an easy character to deal with, and the last general always thinks that the reason why he retreats so simply must be waiting for an opportunity, and we still have to guard against it. ”
"Well said, General Ben also thinks so, the city defense cannot be relaxed for a moment these days. Hongxuan, the emperor will definitely summon me to the palace for an audience in the near future, and I will be more relieved that the major affairs of the city defense will be handed over to you. ”
"The last general commands!"
Yang Zhong was not talking nonsense, he had already calculated that once the battle report of the Guangyuan army repelling the Tang Shui Division reached the capital, it would definitely cause a shock in the imperial court. In the face of two successive victories, the Guangyuan Army has reached an unprecedented height during this period of time, and they are the patron saints of the capital and even Daliang.
As soon as he thought that he could defeat the Divine Slaughter Rider, Yang Zhong was happy from the bottom of his heart. This guy died well, he never thought that his three sons were not good at stubble, and he planned to compete for the top spot of the four armies as soon as he came up. The Xuanjia Army has been listed as a rebel army by the imperial court, and even if the Chiwei Army is not the conspiracy of the Xuanjia Army, Shen Yongnian is dead and the size of the army has been sharply reduced, and it has not been able to make any waves, and the only thing comparable to the Guangyuan Army is the Divine Killing Cavalry.
"These young shoots, if it weren't for the fact that they were just in time to save people when the palace changed, how could they be arrogant now! My Guangyuan Army can have today is all thanks to the blood of the soldiers, the Tangtai family was originally stationed far away in Jinchang City, and it was not by virtue of the crown princess that he could speak in the army. ”
On the way back to Beijing, Yang Zhong had already despised the Divine Killing Turkat in his heart. Back to Beijing? Yes, just two days after the battle report of Huazhou City was transmitted back to Beijing, Emperor Liang ordered Yang Zhong to be summoned back to Beijing to resume his life, this is the opportunity that Yang Zhong has been waiting for, not to mention how high the mood is along the way. What happened next was just as he expected, not only did he accept the reward from the imperial court, but also became the most relied on general of Emperor Liang, and even became a national hero praised by the people of the capital.
This feeling is so good, so beautiful that Yang Zhong is a little fluttering, and Yang Jie's loyalty to the country to death at the beginning is just some courtesy rewards. Now that he has succeeded as the commander of the Guangyuan Army, it will only take two years to build the army into the pillar of the Great Beam, what an honor, this is the glory of the Yang family!
Compared with Yang Zhong's infinite scenery, Wengu is much darker, and the performance of the god killing cavalry is rumored in the imperial court, which also depends on others, as an army, especially the army with the "first iron cavalry of the Great Liang", the performance of the battle is so unsatisfactory, Emperor Liang did not revoke them It is already a great tolerance. Emperor Liang not only did not do this, but also gave the god killing cavalry a chance to perform, they also seized the opportunity, and they also made an appearance in the defense of the capital, but unfortunately the limelight was snatched away by Shen Qianji and Yan Keran, it seems that the credit is all the two of them, you must know that without the support of the army behind them, what can the two of them do?
But everything has passed, and Tangtai Wengu doesn't plan to worry too much, at least he is still the commander of the Divine Killing Cavalry, but what he didn't expect was that the second brother Tangtai Qiu'an didn't die, and came back alive intact, which really gave Tangtai Wengu a headache. In front of everyone, he can't show the slightest sign of brotherhood, and he has to be a good big brother, but the irritability in his heart is really completely unspeakable.
A wave of unsettled waves, the Guangyuan Army actually led the army to recover Huazhou, this is not more, it even repelled the Tang Water Division, what a glory is this? Just look at Emperor Liang's performance towards Yang Zhong, you can know that Tangtai Wengu didn't even want to play on the spot, as soon as he returned to the general's mansion, he retreated and came to the backyard to find a helper, at this time he needed a helper, and it must be a trustworthy helper.
"Third brother!"
Since he came to the capital, he has been locked up in the mansion by Wengu in the capital, and he has not seen his eldest brother for half a year, and what he can do every day is to read and write in the backyard, and play with flowers and plants, and this life is also dull. For fame and fortune, the Yutai Kamada can see more than his two elder brothers, maybe this has a lot to do with his background, from the birth determines that he has no chance to inherit everything from the Tantai family, everything, if he is obedient, he can still be a son of the Tantai family, otherwise.......
"Big brother, you're here. I may not have cleaned it for a long time, and I don't have any tea to entertain you, so I might as well hire someone to boil water. ”
"Don't be busy, I'm not here to drink tea, I need your help with something!"
"They are all brothers, and the eldest brother can tell me if he has something."
He was still quite satisfied with the performance of the third brother, so he told in detail what had happened in the court and on the battlefield during this period of time, these things may have been known by the Yutai Kamada earlier, but it doesn't matter, what matters is what advice he can give.
After hearing these things, the Yutai Sickle frowned slightly, but soon he calmed down, and slowly spoke in the face of the anxious eldest brother: "Big brother, let's not talk about the previous things for the time being, this Tang Shuishi is currently the strongest combat power among all countries, and he will definitely not give up." The reason why he withdrew from the army was just to cover people's eyes, and it stands to reason that Yang Zhong would not fail to see this kind of thing, but the key to this matter is time. ”
"When?"
"That's right, for one day, two days, or even ten days, the Guangyuan Army will definitely be ready for battle, but what about after a month? Or even two months later? ”
"You mean that it may take two months for the Tang Water Division to retreat?"
The scythe smiled and nodded.
