Chapter 11: Pegasus' Victory

Yang Ling just buried his head in contemplation, the benefits of the Song army's military revolution and the strength of financial resources, when it came to the entire east-west map section, were also second to none.

The war against Yan claimed to be 200,000 troops, but in fact there were only 100,000 troops, of which the border affairs in Hebei had been eroded for many years, and the Hebei Xiang Army was useless, and more than 20,000 people were temporarily recruited to dare to fight.

In this way, there are nearly 100,000 elite armor-clad soldiers, several times more than the remnants of Liao, how can they be defeated?

While Yang Ling was pondering, a military colonel came out of the gate and hugged his fist at Yang Ling, "Yang Xianggong is invited." After speaking, he went straight forward to lead the way, without the slightest delay, Yang Ling followed the small school all the way, and saw Pang Li, who was already waiting in front of the door, waved his hand, and signaled the small school to go down, "Brother Yang, you don't have to be formal when you see Yang Xianggong later, we Xianggong are bold people." ”

Yang Ling just said gratefully, "Thank you Brother Dang for your advice." ”

The two tacitly walked sideways, the lobby furnishings were not luxurious, there were several generals on both sides, and there was a topographic map of Yandi hanging on the screen.

Yang Keshi is eight feet long, different from the general Kansai man with a reddish complexion, he is a little dark, although he is in the prime of life, but his face is already a little wrinkled, and his physique is strong.

Pang Li stepped forward and said, "Yang Xianggong, Yang Ling brought it." Then he stood aside and said no more.

Yang Keshi said "um", and immediately said familiarly, "Yang Ling, this sentry, you did a good job, I said a long time ago, if our Western Army is one, where will this war against Yan be like this......"

After saying that, he knew that he was speechless, so he said, "This time you have greatly increased the prestige of our army, I made a promise before, and the Beidu sentinels can all be turned into positives, but you are selling your life, and you also met with Liaogou." ”

"Killing captives for the country has long been put out of the way of life and death!" Yang Ling bowed down and replied, Yang Ke Shiguo is like this, usually in this case, Shangguan first shows his majesty in front of his subordinates, and then listens carefully to the newspaper and points out the shortcomings, at this time you just need to listen, and then Shangguan gently encourages him, and finally gives him a gentle heart, a reward, and finally a few words to report to the official's family.

In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army has been a general, and one by one has already been mixed like an old fritter in the officialdom, this Yang Keshi is really wonderful, and he praised it directly as soon as he came up, "You and your brothers are all good men, what reward you want, just say it, what I can do with Lao Yang, I will never say a word." ”

Yang Ling hugged his fists and said: "General Yang, I am just a pawn for the adults in the next place, and I don't dare to take credit, but it's a pity that we went north to twenty-four people, and nine brothers died in the battle array. ”

Yang Keshi immediately took the case and said: "How can I Yang Keshi be a person with a thin temperament, the soldier uses his life like this, if he can't ask for a pension, he will take this head to be a night pot!" You are loyal to the country, you should be promoted and reused, and later I will personally ask for a reward from Xuan Shuai, and you can prepare with peace of mind, and in the future, there will be no time for you to contribute. ”

……

After getting Yang Keshi's words, Yang Ling felt quite excited, following Yang Keshi as a general, it was his own luck, at least he would not treat his subordinates poorly, after Yang Ling left, Yang Keshi strode to the back camp and asked a person who looked like a clerk who was already waiting: "How is it?" ”

The man just said: "Congratulations to Yang Xianggong, they are indeed the true heads." He and this clerk came to a bucket, and there were more than forty heads densely packed on the bucket, all of which were the heads of the Khitan Yuan Blocker that Yang Ling had killed this time, and these heads were all facing upward.

The clerk said to Yang Keshi: "The face is facing upward, all of them are men, looking at their hair and teeth, they are all the heads of the Khitans!" ”

Yang Keshi laughed and said: "I can see that this posterity behaves calmly and decently, not a boaster, but quite a spleen and stomach of my old Yang!" Without further ado, you hurry up and write and ask Xuan Shuai for a bereavement reward! ”

"Obedience!"

The commander of the three armies of the Northern Expedition Song Army is Tong Guan, who is extremely trusted by the official Zhao Ji, and has held the position of privy envoy for more than 20 years with the height of a eunuch.

At that time, the Western Xia was powerful, and the Western Army had a strong army on the four roads, and the bad situation that the center was difficult to control, Tong Guan was ordered by the official family to take charge of the Western Army to resist the Western Xia, and there was no lack of intention to disintegrate the Western Army.

Under the circumstance that it is difficult to open up the situation both inside and outside, Tong Guan first promoted hardcover brave men from the Western Army to establish the Shengjie Army Light Cavalry to defend himself personally, and after having some military power in his hands, he will use the strategy of differentiation to win Liu Yanqing, the Huanqing Army in the Four Strong Army, to his side, even if the old breed is highly respected, it is difficult to restrain Tong Guan from reaching out to the Western Army.

In the military, after many years of operation, Tong Guan also overwhelmed the Western Xia.

Therefore, the entire Great Song Dynasty had the spare strength to transfer most of the Western Army to the Northern Expedition in Hebei, and Tong Guan was also the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong in Hebei at this time, and his subordinates called him "Xuanshuai".

Yang Keshi's Bai Gong soldiers have always been trusted by the old breed of the Gong Seed Master, during the Northern Expedition, the old breed of the Xiang Gong and Xuan Shuai restrained each other, Yang Keshi should have stood on the side of the Seed Division, never thought that when the army was defeated, Yang Keshi actually ordered the Bai Gong Army to reverse the Liao Army, so that the Northern Expedition army got the greatest preservation, but relieved Tong Guan of a big siege.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin faced the Niu Li Party dispute is unclear, and finally abandoned by the two factions, and was not reused throughout his life, and Yang Dasha actually sang a duet with the old Xianggong, which naturally aroused the suspicion of the Western Army.

Tong Guan is happy to see this, the more the Western Army marginalizes Yang Keshi, the better he will win Yang Keshi, and the division of the Western Army is another big progress.

Yang Xianggong personally ordered, this clerk did not dare to have the slightest neglect, returned to his camp tent, immediately laid paper and polished ink, and after a long and phoenix dance, he wrote, "The former army is a quick play: On the 14th of this month, more than 20 people from Yang Keshi's auxiliary army crossed the Baigou River north to investigate the military situation of the Liao. Yang Ling and others fought bravely, fighting dozens of battles, thanks to Xuanshuai Hongfu and the saintly virtue of the official family, our army won a great victory in the face of twice the enemy, beheaded more than 40 levels, and our army only lost nine people...... Twenty-four horses were captured, more than 30 pieces of armor, bows, arrows, knives and guns were saved, and two women and children were saved from Yandi, and it was a great victory, raising my morale, and frustrating the sharpness of the ......"

After Jiewen was written, the clerk immediately exchanged Pegasus to report the victory to the Hejian Mansion.
