"You've come just in time, I'm going to look for you." Gu couldn't explain to the two, Yang Ping'an waved his hand and asked An Lushan to lead people to guard around, "If I don't guess wrong, the Zhou army is not coming, and it is intended to capture Yangzhou, Lord Xu, let me ask you, if there are no reinforcements outside, only with the soldiers and horses in the city, in the face of 30,000 Zhou troops attacking the city, you can be sure to hold it." ”

This is what Yang Ping'an thought of before Xue Yufeng and Xu Yuan came.

The Zhou army besieged Shi Siming and besieged Huang Nize without attacking, its real purpose was Yangzhou City, Shi Siming took away most of the soldiers and horses in the city, Yangzhou City was empty of troops, and it was definitely the best time for the Zhou army to attack the city.

As long as 30,000 Zhou troops can storm Yangzhou at all costs, Yangzhou City will definitely not be able to hold it.

It's just that Yang Ping'an's judgment, Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng don't agree with it.

The former thought that this time the enemy general Du Bin led 30,000 Zhou troops to attack, and joined forces with the Zhou army to trap Shi Siming in Huangnize, it must cost a lot of troops, and he was unable to send troops and horses to attack Yangzhou.

Therefore, Xu Yuan thought that Yang Ping'an's judgment could not be realized.

In Xue Yufeng's view, in addition to Xu Yuan's analysis, she firmly believes that Chuzhou will send reinforcements, even if there is really a Zhou army attacking the city, in the face of Chuzhou reinforcements, the Zhou army besieging the city will also suffer heavy losses from the enemy.

"Why, don't you believe me?" Yang Ping'an smiled coldly, "Do you think that there are really only 30,000 enemy troops who have come to attack this time?" ”

This sentence, when Shi Siming led the troops out of the city to meet the enemy, he said to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan didn't think so at that time, but within a few days, Shi Siming was trapped, and the 50,000 sailors of the Zhou army suddenly appeared and surrounded Huang Nize on three sides of the river, making it difficult for Shi Siming to break through.

"What the horse means is that the Zhou army who came to attack is not Du Bin all the way." Xu Yuan's expression began to become solemn.

"If I were Li Guangbi, I would not only send 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yangzhou, I need to know that if Yangzhou is broken, Chuzhou will be in danger."

Yang Ping'an's words immediately attracted Xue Yufeng's attention, her eyes flickered a few times, and she said with a solemn expression: "You know Li Guangbi very well." ”

Isn't this nonsense, at least I know Li Guangbi better than you.

Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi, both recorded in history, were both heroes who pacified the Anshi Rebellion, but the former was far less famous than the latter, but many historians in later generations have proposed through analysis that Li Guangbi's military talent is by no means inferior to Guo Ziyi.

In the early days of the confrontation between Zhou and Tang, it also proved Li Guangbi's talent, although the silence in the recent period made Li Guangbi's surprise in the early days seem to be a flash in the pan, but Yang Ping'an knew that there must be a reason.

He didn't know what Guo Ziyi was thinking, and he didn't know what Li Guangbi was thinking, he only knew that the two of them had their own plans, so they would form a confrontation in Yangzhou, and all he had to do was to protect Yangzhou and seize Yangzhou's military power.

If it weren't for Shi Siming taking away 30,000 soldiers and horses, he wouldn't care if Shi Siming lived or died.

Seeing that it was not easy to persuade the two, he simply stopped explaining, and directly moved out of his identity as a horse and supervisor, and ordered Xue Yufeng to lead 5,000 troops, lead the Xue family army to rush to the aid of Huang Nize to rescue Shi Siming, and then quickly return to Yangzhou without delay.

Surprisingly, when he didn't open his mouth in a consultative tone, Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng didn't raise any more objections, but prepared to go according to his request.

"Big brother, since you think that the Zhou army will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, then why do you want to let your sister-in-law lead the troops out of the city."

"Yes, big brother, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and my sister-in-law took 5,000 with me, and it is still the elite Xue family army, in case the Zhou army comes to attack, how can we hold it."

After Xu Xue and the others left, the shameless trio spoke one after another, all puzzled by Yang Ping'an's order.

Yang Ping'an took a deep breath and patted An Lushan's shoulder: "Fatty, are you afraid." ”

"I'm afraid, it's terrible, killing one is enough to kill two to make money, grandma, I've never been afraid."

"Good, good." Yang Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, "Fatty, get ready, your life will change dramatically." ”

An Lushan was confused when he heard it, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu looked at him with envy, although the current situation was critical, but the three of them knew very well that Yang Ping'an almost never said that he had missed anything.

"Whew." After a long breath, Yang Ping'an walked to the wall, held the wall with both hands and looked into the distance, and said with emotion for a while, "This battle is not only about my fate, but also about the fate of many people, I will never make mistakes, let alone retreat, Min'er, wait for me, wait for me to rescue you from the Eastern Capital." ”

Yang Yuhuan stood aside, looking at Yang Ping'an stupidly, when Yang Ping'an forcibly issued the order as a concubine, she suddenly found that Yang Ping'an had changed, his body had become taller, and he was high-spirited and commanding the country, just like an experienced and unfathomable general commanding the war, giving people a feeling of needing to look up.

Coming down from the city, as soon as he returned to the Taishou Mansion, his butt was not hot, so Xue Yufeng came to find it.

At this time, Xue Yufeng's whole body was dressed in heroic armor, and he came all the way, and as soon as he saw Yang Ping'an, he asked, "Are you sure you want me to lead the troops to save that bastard." ”

Yang Ping'an nodded: "You have to be careful, go and come back quickly, I will wait for you in the city." ”

"Do you know that if what you said is true, there will really be another Zhou army coming to attack Yangzhou, and Chuzhou has not ruled out reinforcements, I have led the Xue family army to leave, Yangzhou will be very dangerous." Xue Yufeng clutched Yang Ping'an's shirt tightly, his eyes full of worry.

She didn't object to Yang Ping'an's order, because she thought of Yang Ping'an's time in Shandong, and restored her unreserved trust in Yang Ping'an, but she was very worried, worried about Yang Ping'an's safety, and finally saw the person who was worried about her heart, she didn't want to lose it again, and it may be lost permanently.

Feeling Xue Yufeng's intentions, Yang Ping'an gently grabbed the former and threw himself into his arms, and said with a choked voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, I should have thought a long time ago, you are not the kind of timid person, not to mention me, you will never abandon me for yourself."

But this time I'm really worried, I'm worried that if what you say is true, and I'm gone, the city will be even more empty, what will you do. ”

"If the Zhou army really sends the main force to attack, your 5,000 people will not have much effect, what really works is the 30,000 soldiers and horses taken away by Shi Siming's bastard, so you must try to rescue Shi Siming, I believe that the Zhou army besieging Huang Nize will not be too much."

Yang Ping'an thought very clearly, if he wants to hold Yangzhou City, he must rescue Shi Siming's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then rush back to Yangzhou to attack the siege Zhou army from outside, and the Zhou army would not have thought that Yangzhou, which has only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, would send reinforcements to rescue Huang Nize, and more importantly, Yang Ping'an judged that since the Zhou army was only besieging Huang Nize, the Zhou army that blocked the land must not be much, and Xue Yufeng's 5,000 Xue family troops were enough to change the situation.

"Okay, I believe you, but you must promise me that I will not die, you must wait for me in Yangzhou, and when I rescue that bastard, I will immediately lead the troops back, you are not allowed to die, otherwise I will hate you for the rest of my life...... Hmmm......"

A deep kiss was Yang Ping'an's farewell gift to Xue Yufeng, he and Xu Yuan stood at the head of the city, watching Xue Yufeng lead five thousand Xue family troops to rush to Huang Nize, and his heart was a little cold.

After all, this is his first real command of the war, don't look at what he said in front of Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng, but he is not confident in his heart, because this is his first time.

There was no turning back from the bow, he firmly believed that his judgment would not be wrong, and took a few deep breaths in a row, and finally calmed down.

Xu Yuan noticed Yang Ping'an's nervousness: "Don't worry about the lower official going back and thinking about it repeatedly, the more I think that the concubine's judgment is accurate, it was the lower official who misunderstood the concubine before, and thought it was ......"

He was a scholar, but not pedantic, but a more practical person.

He did not refuse Yang Ping'an's order in the morning, because he considered that if the Zhou army did not come to attack the city, whether Xue Yufeng's 5,000 soldiers and horses went to rescue Shi Siming would not have an impact on Yangzhou's defense; And if the Zhou army really came to attack the city, then Xue Yufeng's 5,000 soldiers and horses would also not be able to save Yangzhou City.

What's more, he has been studying the map at noon, he used to only study the inside and outside of Yangzhou, this time he will also carefully study the area around Chuzhou, only to find that what Yang Ping'an said is not unreasonable, thinking that the messenger sent for help should have already arrived in Chuzhou, but so far there is no news from Chuzhou, there may really be no reinforcements.

So he could only hope that Yang Ping'an's strategy was effective, but he was very worried that in case the Zhou army attacked, whether Yangzhou would be able to hold on until Shi Siming and Xue Yufeng led the troops back to help.

Yang Ping'an, who had cleaned up his mood, no longer thought about it so much, he had no way to retreat, so he could only follow his strategy step by step: "Lord Xu, don't mention the previous things, I hope you can be prepared in the next few days, we are likely to face the most brutal defensive battle, but also face the changes that may occur in the city, you are more experienced than me in this regard, in addition, I hope you can send five hundred soldiers to me, to be elite." ”

The changes in the city, Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and nodded after a little thought: "The lower official will fully cooperate with the horses, and the lower officials will go and select five hundred elite soldiers for the horses." ”

Xu Yuan's movements were very fast, although he didn't understand why Yang Ping'an wanted five hundred soldiers and horses, but before dinner, he had already selected five hundred elite soldiers and handed them over to Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an did not delay, directly found An Lushan, ordered him to be a partial general, and handed over 500 people to An Lushan, so that he could establish his prestige as soon as possible and hold these 500 people in his hands, at least his orders could be carried out smoothly among these 500 people.

Xue Yufeng left Yangzhou on the third day, Yangzhou outside the city of Zhou army banner, according to the Ma Lai report, 30,000 Zhou troops to attack Yangzhou, so far Xu Yuan admired Yang Ping'an greatly, because Yangzhou was ready to defend the city.

It's just that Yang Ping'an didn't expect that there was still a little deviation in his judgment, and this deviation made him hate Shi Siming to the bone.
