War is built with life and money, and even if it is the winning side, it is inseparable from these two important factors.

The Northern Tang Dynasty ruled for many years, and the country was peaceful and peaceful, and the treasury was naturally rich; The Southern Zhou Dynasty occupied the prosperous south of the Yangtze River, and the wealth accumulated by Tiance Wei for many years was enough to support a long-lasting war to destroy the country.

In the early stage of the war, each side invested more than 300,000 troops, which was just an appetizer, and both sides had to use this time to prepare everything.

In addition to the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, there were also millions of civilians who were busy transporting all kinds of armaments to the front line.

Finally, a large-scale war broke out, and the fierce generals and wise men of the Tang and Zhou dynasties broke out in the war, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing...... Some people can leave an indelible brilliance in the war to shine for a hundred years, while some people are destined to become only a meteor to make future generations sigh.

No one wants to be a meteor, Yang Ping'an is no exception, he is sitting in Yangzhou at the moment, facing the attack of the Zhou army.

If it was a war that broke out between the Tang and Zhou dynasties before, then now the war between the two sides has escalated into a campaign, and the millions of troops on both sides are divided into several theaters under the command of the marshals of both sides.

However, Yangzhou was an exception, Guo Ziyi never issued any orders to Yangzhou, and Li Guangbi did not give any orders to attack Yangzhou.

At the beginning, Yangzhou had not yet been affected, but as the battle continued and progressed, the two armies won and lost each other, and the originally distinct Chu River and Han borders began to blur, forming a dog-tooth intertwined trend.

A certain unit of the Zhou army invaded the hinterland of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and there were also Tang troops who crossed the Yangtze River to the south and entered the territory of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

With the change of the situation, Yangzhou could no longer be alone, and more and more Zhou troops began to march towards Yangzhou, believing that Yangzhou was a breakthrough in the Tang army's defense line.

Yangzhou is now not only 40,000 or 50,000 defenders, Guo Ziyi and Xiao Taishi have sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Yangzhou, and now Yangzhou has a total of 100,000 defenders, of which Shi Siming's department has increased to 40,000, Xue Yufeng's Xue family army has increased to 20,000, Xu Yuan controlled the original Yangzhou garrison of more than 20,000 people, and Yang Ping'an recruited 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 militiamen.

Taishou Mansion, the four giants of Yangzhou gathered.

"Don Ma, this time the Zhou army is coming, what plan do you have to retreat from the enemy." It was Shi Siming who spoke, and his tone was very respectful, which was unacceptable to the other three.

This time, there were two Zhou armies, which invaded from the east and west, with 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhou army Kouxiong on the east side and 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhou army Ning Zhenmo on the west side.

It seems that the strength of the two sides is equal, but the four of them dare not underestimate the enemy, although they know whether there is still a Zhou army in the secret, otherwise they will not have 90,000 soldiers and horses to invade Yangzhou in two ways.

Xu Yuan stopped the conversation and said: "This official thinks that there is something strange in this, we should hold on, with Yangzhou troops and strong city defense, even if the Zhou army has any conspiracy, it will not help." ”

"I think Lord Xu has a point." Xue Yufeng nodded, agreeing with Xu Yuan's proposal.

Shi Siming ignored the two, continued to stare at Yang Ping'an, and asked, "I don't know what the colt thinks." ”

Yang Ping'an raised his head and glanced at him, and said coldly: "Don't come to this set with Lao Tzu, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Shi Siming seems to have really changed his surname, even if Yang Ping'an's words were very polite, he still replied respectfully: "The concubine's words are wrong, the last general knows that you have a misunderstanding of the last general, but now that the enemy is present, the personal grudge between you and me must be put aside for the time being, even if the concubine wants Shi's surname, he has to wait until the Southern Zhou Dynasty is destroyed and my emperor rules the world. ”

Xu Yuan Xue Yufeng was stunned at the same time, looking at Shi Siming in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that the other party could have such a mind, the former pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Lord Shi is high-spirited, Xu admires, don't know what the plan is to retreat from the enemy this time." ”

Nima, this kid is too yin.

Yang Ping'an endured his anger and looked at Shi Siming, and said slowly: "I also think that Lord Xu's strategy is very good, no matter what the enemy's conspiracy is, we will hold on to Yangzhou and stand still, presumably the enemy army will retreat without a fight." ”

"Three adults, Shi thought this was impossible."

As Yang Ping'an expected, Shi Siming was indeed holding his fart, and the reason why he asked Yang Ping'an in a respectful tone before was because the last time the enemy attacked, it was he who proposed to go out of the city to meet the enemy, which caused Yangzhou to be in danger.

Today, he still wants to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but he doesn't dare to bring it up directly.

Now that he heard that all three of them were going to defend the city, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The war between the two countries has intensified, but Yangzhou has rarely experienced war, and refuses to send reinforcements, which has made the imperial court dissatisfied.

Fortunately, the Zhou army came to attack, and he could fight in the open, which could not only win military merits, but also eliminate the suspicion of the imperial court.

Shi Siming said very brightly, and also said that he was born as a military general, and it was his duty to fight on the battlefield, how could he always shrink into the city and destroy his own prestige.

"The eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather, how can he cower and make people laugh."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Yufeng couldn't stand it anymore, and also proposed to lead the troops out of the city to meet the enemy and defeat the enemy army.

Yangzhou's 100,000 soldiers and horses only seek self-protection and never participate in other wars, this is proposed by Yang Ping'an, Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng agreed at the time, but now the situation is different, hearing Shi Siming's impassioned statement, Xue Yufeng couldn't help it at first.

"I agree with General Shi's words, at present, the great enemy is current, the war is continuous, how can people of my generation who are in the army sweep themselves in front of the door."

Yang Ping'an's heart twitched, and when he saw that Xu Yuan was also a little nervous, he hurriedly said: "In this case, I also agree with General Shi's words, but I don't know what General Shi's plans are." ”

"The two enemy forces are attacking from the east and west, I am willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and defeat all the way with General Xue, the horses and Lord Xu have rich experience in defending the city, as long as they can support us until we return victoriously, we can attack inside and outside, and annihilate the other way."

"Good ......"

As soon as Xue Yufeng wanted to agree, Yang Ping'an immediately made a look, and then took the conversation: "General Shi, I don't know if you dare to make a bet with me." ”

"Bet." The three of them were stunned.

Yang Ping'an's bet was terrible, almost suicidal, he proposed to personally lead 5,000 personal soldiers plus 10,000 militia to meet the west side of Ning Zhen Mo Division, and Shi Siming ordered the headquarters of the troops and horses to meet the east side of the Kou Xiong Division, whoever defeated the enemy first on both sides would win, and the losing side agreed to the winning side with three conditions.

"Nope." Xue Yufeng did not hesitate to reject Yang Ping'an's proposal.

You must know that the Zhou army Ning Zhen Mobu has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Ping'an's soldiers and horses are only 15,000 people, not to mention, the combat power of the 10,000 militia is also worrying, so the 5,000 personal soldiers who have become professional soldiers can have the power to fight.

If you go out of the city to fight, won't you kill yourself by hitting a stone with an egg?

Xu Yuan didn't agree either, it was better for everyone to stay in the city than this.

"The Admiral disagrees either." Shi Siming suddenly became excited, "Don't you look down on the last general, there are 30,000 sons under the command of the last general, all of whom are good at fighting, how can you let the horse meet Ning Zhen Mobu, if not, the horse will lead the troops to meet the Kou Xiongbu, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to meet Ning Zhen Mobu, what does the horse think." ”

The reason for his excitement was very simple, because Yang Ping'an underestimated him too much, and let him kill 30,000 enemies, while he led 15,000 enemies and 50,000 enemies, no matter how he won or lost, he lost to Yang Ping'an from the beginning.

Therefore, it is fair for him to adjust the opponents of the two.

"No questions." Yang Ping'an replied categorically, and high-fived Shi Siming three times, so that Xue Yufeng and Xu Yuan didn't have time to speak.

After the decision, Shi Siming returned to the camp to reorganize the troops, and Yang Ping'an also asked An Lushan to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and he asked Xu Yuan to take care of Yang Yuhuan, and then quickly returned to the courtyard to say goodbye to Yang Yuhuan.

When it was nearly dusk, Xue Yufeng suddenly came to visit, pulled Yang Ping'an away in front of Yang Yuhuan, and after coming to a no-man's land, he said, "Are you crazy?" ”

The combat power of Yang Ping'an's soldiers and horses was too weak, how could she not be worried, but it was too late to regret it, so after Xue Yufeng returned to the barracks, he transferred half of the soldiers and horses, led by Ning Taoyang, and prepared to be transferred to Yang Ping'an's command.

"Yufeng, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary." Feeling Xue Yufeng's concern, Yang Ping'an shook his head and took him into his arms with a smile, "I definitely can't beat Kou Xiong." ”

"Then why do you still want to bet with Shi Siming, and you brought it up."

"I can't beat Kou Xiong, and Shi Siming may not be able to defeat Ning Zhenmo, so you don't need to transfer the Xue family army to me, because the burden on you and Lao Xu will be very heavy."

"What do you mean?"

"You repel the enemy army attacking the city, and I want to kill Shi Siming, remember, I won't die, even your godfather didn't dare to mobilize Yangzhou troops because he was afraid of me, who in this world can kill me."

"You're less smelly and beautiful." With a light punch in Yang Ping'an's chest, Xue Yufeng said angrily, "How can my godfather be afraid of you, it's just that I'm worried that you, a colt, will make a mistake." ”

"Remember, hold Yangzhou and wait for me to come back, no matter what news you hear, don't believe it, and never lead the troops out of the city, I will definitely come back to marry you as my Yang Ping'an's wife."

After appeasing Xue Yufeng, he had a warm encounter with Yang Yuhuan in the evening, and the latter learned that Yang Ping'an was going to lead the troops out of the city to face the battle, and his tears of worry filled with tears, hugging Yang Ping'an tightly, lying on his chest, and muttering: "Son, can you not go." ”

"I'm a man, and my words count."

"Then will you give up on me?"

Caressing Yang Yuhuan's smooth back, Yang Ping'an chuckled: "Don't worry, I've asked Lao Xu to take care of you, no one will hurt you, and I will definitely come back, don't forget the day I have been waiting for you." ”

"That day." Yang Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and his jade body trembled lightly for a while and said, "Childe, the slave family is ready, and I am willing to give my body to Childe tonight." ”

As he spoke, his jade hand stretched out to Yang Ping'an's crotch, but before he touched Yang Ping'an's brother, he was held by Yang Ping'an's hand: "You can say that, I'm very happy, but not tonight, I want to raise my spirit, and I'm going to start tomorrow." ”

"Childe ......"

For some reason, Yang Yuhuan's heart became more sour, and he suddenly hugged Yang Ping'an tightly, and his naked delicate body rubbed lightly on him, as if he was nostalgic for this last enjoyment.

In the early morning of the next day, the south gate of Yangzhou City was opened, and Yang Ping'an and Shi Siming each led a soldier and horse, and they marched from Yangzhou to meet the attacking Zhou army.

Yangzhou could not avoid the baptism of war, and Yang Ping'an also began his first step to dominate the world.
