Yang Xuan said: "Father, the so-called people are not as good as heaven, you have not seen Yang Yichen with your own eyes, it is inevitable that the estimate is insufficient, and not only this person, it is Li Jing of Daizhou, who is also a wise and brave person, and his ability is not under Yang Yichen." ”

Yang Su was slightly surprised: "Then Li Jing is also so powerful?" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and said: "Yang Liang's movements are very fast, and after capturing Puzhou, he immediately sent the dragoon guards north to attack Daizhou, and even sent more than 10,000 people to raid Daizhou once before the dragoon guards were assembled, and after the miss, he besieged Daizhou with only four or five thousand soldiers with more than 30,000 elites for twenty days. ”

"The southern city of Daizhou is in disrepair and is not easy to defend, but Li Jing was able to resist for so long with such inferior troops, and held out until the reinforcements of our army arrived, and even if the reinforcements were not available, Pei Wenan and Qiao Zhongkui had no way to take Daizhou, and they had already played the last trick of fake withdrawal."

Yang Su nodded again and again when he heard this: "In this way, this Li Jing is also a real famous general like Yang Yichen, it seems that the emperor put these two people in the two most important states in the north as guards, it is really discerning." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and said to Yang Su: "Don't hide it from your father, the child still has a layer to consider, this Yang Yichen is a good general in the world, if the new emperor is tyrannical in the future, and the world is full of heroes, he is very likely to become a person like his father in more than ten years and preside over the counterinsurgency." If you can win him over, you will win 100,000 soldiers. ”

Yang Su laughed: "Xuan Gan, you can actually think of this layer, it's not easy, when my father sent you, I actually hoped that you could not only make meritorious contributions, but also make friends with this person, you have to remember that Yang Yichen is loyal to the previous emperor, not necessarily the new emperor today, and there is a killer feature here for your father." If you really come to the time when you want to start something. You can use this trick on Yang Yichen. ”

Yang Xuan was surprised: "What is it that is so powerful that can make Yang Yichen defect?" ”

Yang Su's expression became solemn, and he waved his hand to prevent Yang Xuangan from asking further questions: "This thing is not trivial. It cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. You have to remember. As a father, I will hand it over to you one day, this thing is related to the lives of hundreds of people in my Yang family, so don't be careless. ”

Yang Xuangan knew the severity of the matter. He nodded, but didn't ask again.

Yang Su looked at the brightly lit camp in the distance and asked, "This time, Wang Shichong walked with you all the way, what about his appearance?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "This time, this ghost spirit didn't make much of a show, and basically let Yang Yichen act, and the child also felt strange." ”

Yang Su's eyes sparkled: "Is there any connection between him and the Turks?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "No, he has always been in the army, and he has never been out of the customs." ”

Yang Su muttered, "Could it be that we misread this person? Don't want to take advantage of the situation to stand on your own feet in troubled times? ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly: "Last time, this person failed to rebel in Daxing, and he is probably much more honest, maybe he also thinks that this time is not a good opportunity." ”

Yang Su exhaled, looked at the moon in the sky, and said slowly: "Xuangan, no matter what, you didn't make a great contribution in the north this time, and let Yang Yichen grab the jackpot, so this battle is only for our father and son to go out in person, only in this way can the new emperor see the ability of our father and son, know that the country can't do without us, and can keep my Yang family safe for a while." ”

Yang Xuangan asked, "Does the father want the child to follow you all the time?" There's no problem with that. ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "You will be wrong about what I mean, I don't want you to climb the mountain and drill the forest with the infantry army, but I want you to lead 10,000 Xiaoguo to bypass the river bank and join me on time in the mountain pass in the north." ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly realized, he raised his big fingers, and his face was full of admiration: "Father, it's really high, you are ready to let my two-horse Xiaoguo cavalry provide equipment and weapons for the infantry." ”

Yang Su laughed: "That's right, when the time comes, the horse lance and riding shield of your cavalry will be used by the infantry, and the Xiaoguo knight will be enough to defeat the enemy infantry guarding the mountain pass as long as he uses secondary weapons, you said that the valley mouth is not too wide, and there is a camp, and the cavalry cannot attack with spears and lances in front of the cavalry, so the horse lance will not come in handy, just let the infantry carry it to attack the enemy camp." ”

"And there will be our archers on the cliff at that time, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by a rain of arrows."

Yang Xuangan nodded: "I see, then father, do you want me to set off first, and then meet there?" However, the child does not know the path, but he is afraid that he will not be able to connect with you when he reaches the valley mouth, and if he stops for a long time, he will be discovered by the enemy, and it will be troublesome if he has precautions. ”

Yang Su waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, tomorrow at noon, let the iron staff go with you for my father, he knows the way, we will meet at the exit at that time, 10,000 iron cavalry, 40,000 infantry, enough to break the enemy army guarding the valley mouth." ”

"Today my father came out to see the celestial phenomena, and in three or four days there will be mist in the early morning, and the opportunity to break the enemy will be at that time!"

Yang Xuangan was speechless for a while, and secretly said in his heart that Yang Su was too good, and he could even predict the weather in three or four days, compared to the astronomers who could make weather forecasts based on satellite cloud images in later generations, it seemed that Yang Yichen also had this kind of ability to calculate the weather, and he didn't know where he learned it.

Yang Su seemed to see Yang Xuangan's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Xuangan, as the commander, it is not enough to know the art of war, astronomy and geography need to be mastered and understood. Your grasp of the terrain should be good now, but your grasp of astronomy is not enough, and this is something you need to strengthen. It is essential for those who are in charge to observe the celestial phenomena, which determines the use of many tactics, remember! ”

Yang Xuangan retracted his train of thought and responded solemnly.

Yang Su nodded with satisfaction, and the whole person also fell into deep thought: "We Han people build a country with farming, and we attach great importance to the weather. This is because it is necessary to grasp the climate change that has a direct impact on crops, such as droughts and floods, solar terms, frost and snow. There are some ancient books that specifically talk about how to judge whether the next day will be cloudy or sunny from the starry sky at night and the brightness of the moon. ”

Although the ancients did not know that the earth was round, let alone been to outer space, they could also make correct judgments on the weather through these accumulated celestial experiences. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients even more.

Yang Su continued: "It's just that the weather may change after four days, the so-called unpredictable weather, if there is no fog at dawn, you will take the cavalry away from the enemy army, and not join our infantry army for the time being." Wait until the night to attack. Although the effect is a little worse, it is still better than a frontal attack in broad daylight. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded and asked casually: "The most elite 50,000 step rides have been brought out by us, and there will be no problems on the front." If only the enemy saw the flaw at this time. Take the initiative to attack. What to do? ”

Yang Su laughed: "I still wish they would take the initiative." It's summer flood season, there is a lot of rain, and the Fenshui is also skyrocketing. The side that takes the initiative to attack will suffer a big loss, as evidenced by the fact that the following troops were blocked by the river and could not continue to advance, and if the enemy wanted to attack on all fronts, the result would not be much better. ”

Yang Su paused for a moment and continued: "What's more, I handed over the defense task here to the veteran Zhou Luohu, this person is well versed in the art of war, and he has experienced a hundred battles, so he will definitely be able to defend this place well." ”

Yang Xuangan felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said: "There is no problem with General Zhou's ability, but after all, he is a general of the Southern Dynasty, and he has been a colleague of Xiao Maha for many years, and his personal relationship is also quite good. ”

"Even the child feels that he is a bit reluctant to be the interim commander in such an identity, not to mention some other generals, if you leave, if others disobey the order, something big may happen."

In the battle of the Sui Dynasty to destroy Chen in the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Zhou Luohu led his troops to resist in the Xiangzhou area, whether it was Yang Su who went down the river from Ba County upstream or Yang Jun, the king of Qin, could not break through Zhou Luohu's Xiangzhou defense line, and it was a stalemate until the fall of the Chen Dynasty, Zhou Luohu saw the letter of surrender of the queen of Chen, and after crying for three days, he disbanded the army and surrendered to the Sui army.

In the past ten years, Zhou Luohu has also been the same as Xiao Maha, a difficult brother, has not been reused, in front of the state assassin history level officials, the eighteenth year of the emperor's expedition to Goguryeo, Zhou Luohu was lucky, was named the head of the navy, led the naval fleet directly into Pyongyang, but encountered a storm on the way, and returned in vain.

When the emperor counterattacked the Turks in the nineteenth year of the emperor, Zhou Luohu had military exploits, and briefly served as Yang Guang's right guard in the East Palace for a few months, and was later replaced by Yu Zhongwen, but with this experience, he was more or less half of Yang Guang's henchman, so this time to quell Yang Liang's rebellion, Yang Guang specially named Zhou Luohu to be Yang Su's deputy.

Yang Su sighed and said to Yang Xuan: "Even you can see the stakes here, how can you not know about your father, it's just that this week, Luo Hu is the new emperor's special name as my deputy, and secondly, this small road march strategy is also the first one he proposed, since I have rejected his proposal, I can't help but give him the position of the remaining coach." ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "That's right, but what if the other generals disobey him?" After all, he is a general of the Chen Dynasty, and he has such a good relationship with Xiao Maha, it is normal for some people to suspect it. ”

Yang Suzheng said: "There is no doubt about Zhou Luohu's loyalty, he is different from Xiao Maha's situation, he also went on several expeditions when he was the emperor, and he was reused, and he has not been following Yang Liang like Xiao Maha, he does not have an army like Yang Yichen that he has brought out for many years, and it is impossible to think about it, and there is no motive." ”

"And now the situation is very clear, Yang Liang has become a turtle in the urn, the defeat has been decided, if Zhou Luohu really has the intention to rebel, it will not be now, but it should be a month ago, when he was in the capital to help Wang Shichong kidnap Yang Yong, or he ran to Yang Liang, or even took the initiative to sneak back to Xunyang's hometown, and raised troops in the south to respond to Yang Liang, it was a feasible choice, and now this situation is really a brain water."

Yang Xuangan smiled: "The child doesn't believe that Old General Zhou will rebel, but he just thinks that his identity as a general of the Southern Dynasty can be the temporary commander, and other generals will talk about this." If you don't listen to him, this is a headache. ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "Zhou Luohu is a veteran of his father's generation in terms of qualifications, and he is also a pillar of famous generals in the Chen Dynasty, and other generals such as Yang Yichen Zhang Xutuo and others are about twenty years younger than him, and their qualifications and experience are not comparable to Zhou Luohu, and his father will also have strict orders, only defend and not attack, or only allow feints, this task of guarding the camp is destined to be impossible to brilliant." No one would be stupid enough to risk violating military law to disobey an order. ”

Yang Xuangan then asked: "If Zhou Luohu wants to make a contribution. What about ordering an attack on all fronts after you're gone, father? ”

Yang Su laughed: "He's not so stupid, he has seen the battle situation these days, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come up with this strategy of attacking around the path." What's more, there is a trick for his father, let Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo be his deputies together. The response to the problem needs to be agreed upon by the three of them. ”

"These two are not very old, though. But Yang Yichen won a big victory in Daizhou. Everyone in the whole army knows that Zhang Xutuo has been the most prominent among the generals in the past few days, and he can effectively contain Zhou Luohu. If he was really greedy for merit, Yang and Zhang would definitely stop him. ”

Yang Xuan sighed: "The father is really thoughtful, and the child really admires it." ”

Yang Su's eyes suddenly became gloomy: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and every situation can happen, in case, I just said that if something happens to your father, if the 40,000 infantry army armor is not returned, you must not lose your mind, and you must return to the camp with this 10,000 iron cavalry, and then listen to Zhou Luohu's military orders and seek fighters." ”

When Yang Xuangan heard Yang Su's words, his face changed, and he said hurriedly: "What about the family?" ”

Yang Su's expression became stern, first looked around, confirmed that there was no one around Baibu, and then quietly said to Yang Xuan: "There is a secret compartment under the seat cushion of the Taishi chair in our secret room, and there is a letter in it, and all the things left for you for your father are in it, and you can act according to the letter when the time comes." Remember, the ancestral motto of our Yang family is to protect the family, and we would rather take our lives than do it, we must do this, remember! ”

Yang Su nodded seriously and said, "The child has written it down, if the child is unfortunately killed with his father in this battle, what will happen to the family?" ”

Yang Su's expression became more and more solemn and deep: "I also have arrangements for this matter, if our father and son both die in battle, then you don't have to worry about the things behind you." You just have to keep this in mind, and when the time comes to the junction of the valley, send the iron rod to join me on the path, and we will see the opportunity to act again, and arrange a unified action. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, and his mouth answered yes, but he was always worried about what Yang Su said, and he couldn't concentrate on thinking for a while.

Yang Su saw Yang Xuangan's appearance, and suddenly laughed: "Xuangan, why do you lose your fighting spirit when you mention these things?" Who has not died in life since ancient times, maybe dying on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is the best destination for my Yang Su. ”

"A true warrior should be killed by the last arrow in the last victorious battle, maybe this is the true destination of a man who has fought on the battlefield all his life."

Yang Xuangan suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart, it was a huge shadow that had tormented him for several years, making him unable to sleep at night, his voice trembled unconsciously, and his face became pale, and there was no blood under the light of the moonlight: "Father, you, you should not deliberately want to die in this battle, so as to avoid disaster for the entire family." ”

Yang Su was slightly stunned at first, and immediately laughed: "Xuangan, you are so good at association, do you think your father will be so stupid?" Drag tens of thousands of soldiers to send them to death? Not to mention that if I am defeated, then the new emperor has even more reason to attack our Yang family, don't you know this reason? ”

Although Yang Xuangan couldn't refute Yang Su's words, he was still faintly uneasy in his heart, and he bowed his head and was silent for a while.

Yang Su took two steps forward, patted Yang Xuangan's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Originally, as a general, I shouldn't always think about retreat and future events before the war, but this time is different, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and no one dares to guarantee the battle tomorrow, so I must explain some necessary things to you." ”

"It's just in case, because there are some important things that can't happen with me Yang Su. Don't think nonsense, you must know that only by winning this battle and letting the new emperor see our Yang family's ability to fight can we keep our family. ”

Yang Xuan nodded heavily, he knew that what Yang Su had decided could not be changed, and it was useless to say it, and the idea that he had just burst out at once was indeed too ridiculous, and he also felt ridiculous to give Yang Su such an explanation.

Yang Su looked up at the moon that had begun to sink in the west, and said in a deep voice: "The fourth watch has passed, you and I will go back early to rest, we will set off at noon tomorrow, you prepare according to what I said, leave the day after tomorrow, we will meet at the path in three days, remember what I said today." ”

Yang Xuangan made a military salute and said, "Yes!" ”

At the same time, in Wang Shichong's military tent, Wang Shichong was looking at a military map on the marching case, and at the same time thinking about the content of Yang Su and Yang Xuangan's conversation at this time, suddenly Zhang Jincheng's voice outside sounded low: "Lord, Pei Shilang came from Daxing, and he said that there is a secret decree from the emperor for you." ”

Wang Shichong's face changed, and he just raised his head, but he saw Pei Shiju, who was dressed in black civilian clothes, entering the tent, and without saying much, he lowered his voice and said: "Okay, the new emperor has a secret decree, you and I have to sum it up." (To be continued......)
