Chapter 467: Hundred Miles Attack
Yang Huaiyu withstood the cold wind, took more than 20 people from Wang Shao to the stable, ordered his soldiers to take out a few horses, and said: "Commander, this is dangerous, if the horsepower is not enough, I am afraid that something will happen......"
When Wang Shao's personal soldiers heard this, their faces showed dissatisfaction. Fortunately, Wang Shao hurriedly said www.biquge.info "The little general's kindness, I know." These horses are good horses at first glance. Swords and soldiers are murder weapons, who can measure good and bad? If I can shroud the body of horse leather and make the last effort for Dashun, it is my wish, why complain? ”
Yang Huaiyu was originally a little disdainful of Wang Shao, but now when he heard this, he felt extremely angry with him, and he was arrogant for a while: "I don't know who killed the deer." The Khitans also do not have three heads and six arms, and if they are shot through the chest, they will also be killed under the horse. I, the great sons of the Han family, how can I be afraid of such Diyi? ”
Wang Shao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty once said that you should despise the enemy strategically, but you should pay attention to the enemy tactically. There are also capable people among the Khitans, so we have to be careful......"
When Yang Huaiyu heard this, he was very unimpressed. Originally, Wang Shao's perception had improved a little, but now he felt that he was a little too cautious. You must know that his father Yang Wenguang is famous for his love of hard fighting, so his style also adheres to Yang Wenguang all the way and likes to fight hard. On weekdays, Yang Huaiyu looks down on such people who love to play tricks and tricks, doesn't it say in the art of war that victory is won by wonder and right fit? "Qi" can only win for a while, but "Zheng" can completely annihilate the enemy. Everyone understands the difference. Seriously, if it weren't for the little emperor's clear will, Yang Huaiyu would definitely not have attacked so easily.
Wang Shao saw Yang Huaiyu's disapproving appearance, knowing that he didn't take his words to heart, so he could only sigh. Looking at Yang Huaiyu's appearance, he must be skilled in arching and horses, but if he only has courage and no strategy, he will never be handsome. Wang Shao began to make his own calculations: "After this battle, I must recommend this person to Your Majesty, I can't watch Shuai Cai be ruined like this......"
The group didn't say anything more, and silently under the leadership of Yang Huaiyu, they turned over their horses and galloped out of the city. At this moment, martial law has been ordered in Fengshengzhou, and this is the experience of the veteran. Yang Wenguang knew that if he went to sneak attack, he also had to prevent others from sneaking up on him. You must know that the Yang family's family is all in Fengshengzhou. If someone sneaks up on him in turn, wouldn't the hundreds of people in the Yang family fall into the hands of wolves?
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Yang Wenguang turned the horse's head slightly, and saw that the first person was his youngest son. When he rode his horse to him, he said to Wang Shao behind Yang Huaiyu: "Commander Wang, since Your Majesty asked you to announce the decree, you must be asked to lead the troops." The soldiers are here, and the king can command 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Holy State with this......"
Wang Shao hurriedly said: "Old general, Your Majesty asked me to announce the decree, but he didn't say that he wanted me to lead the troops!" The old general's military exploits are brilliant, who in the Dashun Dynasty does not know? What virtue and ability can I, Wang Shao, be able to overtake the old general and command the three armies? ”
Yang Wenguang was originally polite, and he was a proud soldier in Shengzhou, not to mention Wang Shao, even if the privy envoy came, he might not obey the order. Wang Shao knows how to advance and retreat, and it couldn't be better. "Since that's the case, Zhong Rong won't push it back." After Yang Wenguang left this sentence, he shouted loudly: "The military plane is fleeting, we have to travel day and night, and we will rush to the five miles in front of Taizi Mountain at noon tomorrow, can we do it?" ”
When the 20,000 soldiers heard this, although they were in the cold wind, they still replied loudly: "Yes! ”
"Okay, let's go!" Yang Wenguang was old and strong, took the lead, and galloped out. Then 20,000 soldiers and horses followed, and Wang Shao had already been on the road for a few days, and this kind of forced march had long been accustomed to it, and there was no major problem.
No one noticed that a slender pawn dressed in border armor rode a fast horse and blended into the army. The three armies were all in the excitement of going out, and they didn't notice that a single person had mixed in. This person is also extremely familiar with the border army of Fengshengzhou, and he actually acted seamlessly, quietly following at the end, and no one noticed it.
And at this moment in the Prince Mountain, Yelu Hongji was riding a horse, following the footprints of a group of wild beasts to find the traces of the big worm. In the past half day, many roe deer, deer, antelope, wild ass, iboch, wild boar, wild duck, swan, wolf, fox, squirrel and bear have been hunted. As for the big insects, I didn't even see a tiger hair.
Yeluliang, who followed Yelu Hongji's royal car, was very plain. He already knew that the so-called big worm was just made up by the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan to earn Yelu Hongji's fool. Otherwise, Yelu Hongji, who can be hunted even by a blind bear, has been wandering around Taizi Mountain for a long time, how could he not even find a trace of a tiger?
Yelu Hongji looked at the dismounted royal tent rider, straddling the legs of the Luo circle in the snow to look for it, and even lying in the snow to watch carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "Taizong once said, 'I hunt in vain, not in vain, so I practice martial arts. 'Looking at it today, only the royal tent still has the appearance of a strong army, and the palace tent army is afraid that it is not as good as Taizu and Taizong. ”
Yeluliang nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, before I established the country of Da Liao, it was 'to attack and fight when there is something, and to make a living by fishing in my spare time.'" Its wealth is a horse, and its strength is a soldier. Now that they're at ease, the warriors are really not as good as they used to be. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be disaster. Not to mention the Jurchens, Murowei, etc., even the Han people seem to be a little stronger. According to the minister's opinion, it is not the Han people who are stronger, but our Khitans who are weak......"
When Yelu Hongji first heard this, he was a little annoyed. But after hearing this, he knew that Jerelian was merely stating a fact. Indeed, since the reign of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, the Liao began to learn from the Han people's emphasis on farming, because this unstable fishing and hunting production, sometimes with more hunting and sometimes less hunting, has taken a back seat. The decrease in fishing and hunting has made more and more Khitans do not know how to ride horses and bow drawn, so that the advantages of the Khitans being soldiers are offset by the fact that all the Khitans are soldiers. Perhaps this is the difference between an agrarian civilization and a nomadic civilization.
Yelu Hongji did not want to talk about this topic in depth, the Liao country was too big, and if he wanted to support a growing population, grazing and farming were inevitable choices. As for the aspect of strengthening the army, it is offset by the number of people, and don't the Han people do the same?
Thinking of this, Yelu Hongji changed the topic and said, "Tongzhi of the Southern Courtyard, do you think that the imperial uncle will see through our arrangement?" ”
Yeluliang frowned and said: "The palace tent army is still five miles away from the Luanhe Palace, and more than ten miles away from the Prince Mountain, and there are only more than 3,000 royal tents beside Your Majesty. If the imperial uncle can bear it, it will be ......"
Hearing this, Yelu Hongji turned his head away, looked at the snow, and suddenly said, "What if the imperial uncle has already set up an ambush?" ”
Yeluliang smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, but more than ten miles away, the palace tent army can arrive in just one hour." Besides, didn't Your Majesty place 20,000 palace tent troops on the left? If Your Majesty is not at ease, you can transfer tens of thousands of palace tent troops over, so that nothing goes wrong......"
Yelu Hongji thought for a while and said, "That's fine, let's transfer troops tomorrow." Then he looked up at the sky, and continued, "It's getting late, let the sons and daughters keep watch here, I will go back to the palace first......" (To be continued.) )
