Chapter 11: Attacking Tuyuhun

Yang Yan is ready to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Yang Guang. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info took this opportunity to win the world-famous Shandan Horse Farm and train military horses for himself.

As for Murong Fuyun, the lord of Tuyuhun and Yang Yan remembered, in history, Wei Weiqing Liu Quan went out of Yiwu Road, pursued Tuyuhun to Qinghai, captured more than 1,000 people, and took advantage of the victory to attack Fuqi City, the capital of Tuyuhun, and Fu Yun and nearly 10,000 Tuyuhun people abandoned the city and fled to the party.

Therefore, he had already arranged for Li Jing to lead his troops around between Fu Qi City and the party. Li Jing's military talent is beyond doubt, as long as he is sure that Fu Yun will flee to the direction of the party, Li Jing will lay a net and wait for Fu Yun to get into it himself.

And he himself did not fight for that military merit, but had more important things to do.

Yang Yanke clearly remembered that in history, Yang Guang's western tour of Zhangye this time, because of insufficient preparation, when passing through the valley of Dadou, the weather was freezing and nearly half of the soldiers froze to death, and even Yang Guang's Yang Lihua also died in this freeze.

Tuyuhun was originally located on the plateau, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the Tuyuhun people will carry warm clothes and barley wine with them. Yang Yan asked for troops to fight this time, not to attack Tuyuhun, but to come for winter clothes.

In addition to his own preparations, before he was about to leave, he also found one of his cheap old men, Changsun Sheng, and left his accompanying imperial doctor by his side, which was to ask Changsun Sheng to go to the neighboring counties to buy winter clothes.

The eldest grandson Sheng, died in the fifth year of the Great Cause, the specific time Yang Yan is not clear, and there is no record in history. However, since Changsun Sheng was following Yang Guang at this time, and there was no sign of serious illness, Yang Yan speculated that Changsun Sheng might have died because of the bad weather in Dadou Tu Valley.

Even Yang Guang's own sister, Yang Yan's aunt, was frozen to death, not to mention an elderly minister?

After all, older people are more afraid of the sudden drop in weather, and in our real life, winter has always been the peak period for the death of the elderly.

Yang Yan's marching speed was very slow, and he had long been left behind by Liu Quan, who was bent on merit.

There was no way, without a large number of farmers working hard, Yang Yan would not be able to carry warm clothes, not to mention that he saw that the tents, cattle and sheep all had to be scraped.

On horseback, Yang Yan's little face was red by the cold wind of the plateau, but it did not bring him any altitude sickness at all.

"Your Highness, there may be ambushes on the road ahead, please dismount Your Highness." A partial general stepped forward and persuaded Yang Yan.

This person's name is Han Yuan, his father was originally Han Baohu's personal guard, and later married Li Jing's mother to the Li family.

Yang Yan turned over and dismounted, in fact, he didn't need to be reminded by Han Yuan, he also knew that the small valley in front of him was a good place to ambush soldiers and horses. The reason why he didn't squeak was to hide his clumsiness, and also to give Han Yuan a chance to get ahead.

"Old Han, how many supplies have we obtained along the way?" Yang Yan only gave orders, and naturally he would not deal with this kind of matter personally.

"When I returned to Your Highness, I seized a total of 173 pastoral tents, more than 630 pieces of clothing, 3,000 pieces of fur, 1,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 300 horses." Han Yuan handed Yang Yan a water bag, and at the same time reported the confiscated materials like a few treasures.

"Yes, if we continue like this, by the time we get to Fuqi City, warm clothes should be enough. The order went down and the tents were torn down and all the clothes were changed. "One more piece of clothing saves one more life.

"No." Han Yuan stood up and immediately summoned heralds to convey Yang Yan's order.

Then he squatted in front of Yang Yan again, and when he was about to ask the doubts in his heart, he saw the probe horse sent out before galloping.

"Report, our army has been found in the valley ahead."

"Oh, how many routs?" Yang Yan stood up and asked with some excitement.

"Report, there are more than 1,700 defeated soldiers in total, and 527 are seriously wounded."

"And so many? Let's go, lead 500 soldiers and horses to go with Gu to have a look. Yang Yan was short of manpower, and he didn't expect someone to send a pillow as soon as he dozed off.

Riding his horse to the valley, Yang Yan saw a lot of Sui soldiers who had lost their armor sitting on the ground lifelessly, in groups of three or five, but few people spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has arrived, so don't you hurry up to greet him." Han Yuan was full of anger, and this deep voice echoed in the valley.

Those Sui soldiers stood up one after another, looking terrified.

Yang Yan knew what they were afraid of, because Yang Guang was extremely strict with the army, and the rout of the army generally did not end well.

"Lone knows what you are worried about, and here, Lone can give you a guarantee, as long as you follow this king to Fuqi City. Not only are you innocent, but you have done great things. The Lonely Society invites the Holy Lord, and gives each of you a consistent reward, a piece of cloth. ”

"Why, you don't believe in loneliness?"

"King Qin, the eldest grandson of the saint, how can he break his promise with you."

"Answer this king, do you dare to follow this king to Fu Qi City and make meritorious service with his crimes?" Yang Yan let out a loud shout, raised the long knife in his hand above his head, and looked around at the Sui army in front of him who had slowly raised his head.

"Dare, dare, dare!" For a while, the crowd was excited, and they all braved their muscles and roared loudly.

"It is worthy of being the elite of my Great Sui, mighty!" Yang Yan cheered for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, surrounded by five hundred guards, and walked to a stone in the center of the valley.

"Whoever of you has the highest military position, stand up."

"Minister, the minister's right guard in the record." A man with an injured leg and a somewhat numb look in his eyes stepped forward.

"Don't you even have a lieutenant?" The account belongs to the civilian position, and it is not the candidate that Yang Yan wants.

Everyone looked around, but no one answered.

"You, what's your name, any position?" Yang Yan pointed at the spearman.

In the Sui Dynasty, the battalion level set up the chief officer and captain, and there was a team under the battalion, and the team was set up, and the team was a team, and the team leader was set up. Each battalion has five teams, each team leads three groups, each group leads five chiefs, two captains under the chief, and four commanders under the commander, with a total of 750 people in one battalion.

"Subordinate Zhao Yu, Ren Youtun Guard Infantry Fifth Battalion, meet His Royal Highness King Qin." Zhao Yu strode forward, his voice sonorous and powerful, not at all like a defeated soldier.

Although Zhang Dinghe, the general of the Right Tun Guard, was killed in battle, but the deputy general Liu Jianwu defeated the Tugu Hun Division, how could these people of the Right Tun Guard flee to this place?

However, Yang Yan knew that now was not the time to pursue this, and it was important to quickly collect the clothes all the way after these defeated soldiers were regrouped again.

Putting away his thoughts, Yang Yan glanced at Wu Hong and said loudly: "Okay, Lone temporarily ordered you to be the captain, and immediately straighten out the soldiers and horses." Find out the team leader, the team leader, and the even leader who didn't die. ”

Then, Yang Yan walked up to the person who followed the army, and the most people gathered around him before, indicating that this person was not bad in the army except for his official position being higher than these Qiu Bagao.

"What's your name?"

"Back to Your Highness, the minister Xuanying." Fang Xuanying's face was shocked, because he sensed that Yang Yan's tone was not good.

"Fang Xuanying?" When Yang Yan heard this name, a name that shocked future generations couldn't help but flash in his mind, Fang Xuanling.

Could it be that he and Fang Xuanling are relatives?

In ancient times, the names were mostly arranged according to generations, and the Xuanzi was the character of the Fang family.

Yang Yan, who was a little excited, immediately stood up and asked loudly: "What is the relationship between Fang Yanqian and Fang Xuanling and you, do you know each other?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Xuan Ling is the cousin of the minister, and his father is the uncle of the minister." Fang Xuanying didn't dare to hide it and told the truth.

"Hurry up, please." Fang Xuanling is the minister that Yang Yan booked, but he is suffering from Fang Xuanling's position outside, so it is difficult to call. I didn't expect to find Fang Xuanling's cousin in this defeated army this time, this is a good opportunity to get close to Fang Xuanling.

"The sinners are terrified." Fang Xuanying stood up in some surprise, not understanding why the stern tone of King Qin had such a change.

"Xuan Ying, is there still food and grass in the camp?" Yang Yan patted Fang Xuanying's hand to show relief.

"Back to Your Highness, there are still thousands of stones of grain in the camp, more than 600 catties of meat, and 900 pieces of money."

"Okay, there are so many, I am ordered to join the army with the army for you, and immediately order someone to bury the pot and cook, and be sure to let the soldiers in the army eat well." Yang Yan touched his chin, his eyes shining.

"The minister commands." Fang Xuanying was overjoyed, not because she joined the army, but because Yang Yan ordered to cook.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yu led eleven people back and knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Yan. With a wave of his hand, Yang Yan arranged all these people and temporarily promoted them.

The baggage team behind also arrived in the valley and joined Yang Yan's front army.

After eating, the army marched again, leaving only the Sui army with more than 500 wounds, as well as a number of military doctors and farmers to take care of them.

"Your Highness, if you march like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with Fu Qi City within three days." Han Yuan glanced at the increasingly bloated team with some concern, Yang Yan had already thrown away a lot of siege baggage in order to carry clothes, and most of the grain and grass were left in the valley, only bringing five days' rations, and all the vacated vehicles were used to load clothes.

"Don't worry, Liu Weiqing has led 5,000 horsemen to Fuqi City, and we won't fight for the city. You are sincere in your meritorious service, and you understand alone. Rest assured, you are indispensable for a great contribution here. The order went down, hastened the march, and set up camp after dark. Yang Yan smiled mysteriously, and his eyes fell on Fang Xuanying in the carriage behind him from time to time.

After contact, Yang Yan learned that this Fang Xuanying was also very talented and could be made. This time I brought the troops out, and it was too profitable.

"No." Han Yuan was seen through by Yang Yan, his old face turned red, he pulled out his horse and turned around, and passed it on in person.

Yang Yan looked into the distance, looked at the probe horse from far and near, leaned forward slightly, and adjusted his sitting posture.

"Report, thirty miles ahead, I found the remnants of Tuyuhun, about 300 horsemen, more than 1,000 old and weak, and women."

"Well, do you know where General Li Jing is marching?" Yang Yan nodded, three hundred horsemen, just to let the defeated army of these palace guards who were holding back their stomachs and those right-hand guards who were eager to make meritorious contributions vent behind him.

"Report, Li Lang General has entered the Haiyan five hours ago, and at this time he should move north, heading to the direction of Chaka."

"Where is Liu Quan's army, and how far is it from us?" Yang Yan estimated the time in his heart, hoping that Li Jing could rush to the rear of Fu Qi City as soon as possible and cut off Fu Yun's back road.

"Liu Weiqing's army has chased into the vicinity of Gangcha, nearly a hundred miles away from our army."

"Very well, you go down and rest first." Yang Yan didn't expect that this Liu Quan was quite able to run, and in less than two days, he chased a hundred miles.

He chased so closely, no wonder he chased Fu Yun to Fu Qi City.

"You all heard it, there are three hundred Tugu dogs waiting for us to slaughter them ahead, what are you waiting for, cheer me up and kill them." Yang Yan raised his knife and yelled, and rushed out first.

Yang Tie, who has always been low-key, followed closely with fifty people, not daring to have a trace of negligence.

He received Yang Guang's will this time, not only to deliver the battle report, but more importantly, to protect Yang Yan and not let him be hurt at all.

Thirty miles, not far. The Sui system is about 420 meters in one mile, which is more than 10,000 meters away, which is not far for the soldiers of the right tun guard who want to atone for their sins, let alone run all day long to train the guards of the Qin Wangfu.
