Yang Ping'an didn't wait for Xue Yufeng's clear answer, because the impact of that question was too great, and it was enough to have Xue Yufeng's ambiguous answer, anyway, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly, and now it's just the beginning.

However, he waited for the Zhou army, and the Southern Zhou general Du Bin led 30,000 troops to invade Yangzhou, of which 20,000 were drawn from the 50,000 Zhou troops stationed in Zhenjiang.

Knowing that the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhou army dared to attack Yangzhou, Shi Siming scolded him, thinking that the Zhou army had no one in his eyes and looked down on him too much.

It is also said that after such a long time, Yangzhou City has already been fortified, and there are 40,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and he Shi Siming is a battle-hardened general, how can he put 30,000 Zhou troops in his eyes.

Even Du Bin, the general of the Zhou army, was quite famous when he was a Tang general, but how could he be taken into his eyes.

Therefore, regardless of Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng, he personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy, wanting to defeat the Zhou army on the battlefield and make a name for himself.

This time he really made a cost, and planned to grab some military merits while being angry, until the beginning of the war, thinking that the Zhou army would not come to attack the border for a long time, and Xu Yuan and Xue Yufeng tried their best to stop and vowed to stick to Yangzhou, and he could not take the initiative to attack the Zhou army.

Now that the Zhou army is 30,000, he actually wants to conquer Yangzhou, so that he, the Yangzhou defender, is furious in his heart, and wants to kill Du Binke's Zhou army, which should be the first big victory since the Tang and Zhou wars, and at the same time, it is also to prove his strength to Xiao Taishi, who is far away in the eastern capital.

Xue Yufeng commanded 5,000 Xue family troops, plus more than 5,000 original Xuzhou defenders, a total of 10,000 people stayed in the city, waiting for him to triumph.

That's right, it's triumph, this is Shi Siming's original words when he left the city, even if Xu Yuan was worried in his heart, he knew that he couldn't shake the army's heart at this juncture, so he could only tell Shi Siming repeatedly, let him be careful, if there was a slight mistake, immediately withdraw to the city.

"I hope General Shi can really return triumphantly in this battle." Standing at the head of the city, looking at Shi Siming, who was leading his troops away, Xu Yuan muttered in his mouth, but his heart felt like he had pressed a boulder.

"It's good if he can or run back." Yang Ping'an, who was standing beside Xu Yuan, let out a long sigh and said in surprise.

"Colt."

"Could it be that Xu Taishou thinks I'm alarmist or shake the morale of the army?" Yang Ping'an glanced at him, saw that he didn't answer, and continued, "This Shi Siming, it's just a matter of sending him to death, but I still want to bring my 30,000 elites of Datang to accompany him to the funeral......"

Yangzhou City is a big city, Xu Yuan relied on 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, with the soldiers and civilians in the city to repel the attacking Zhou army many times, at that time the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was still Yang Shuo, and the Yangzhou guard at that time was the imperial family, which was simply a kind of goods.

Now Shi Siming led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to help, Xue Yufeng led 5,000 Xue family troops to come, Xu Yuan has been stockpiling grain and grass in the city to strengthen the city, 40,000 soldiers and horses under the leadership of a few people, with the city's grain and grass water source and fortified city, as long as there is no mistake, even 100,000 Zhou troops will not want to conquer.

But now that the 30,000 Zhou army is coming, Shi Siming, as the general of Yangzhou, led three-quarters of the troops in the city out of the city, gave up his own advantages, and fought with the Zhou army in the wilderness.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Yang Ping'an can understand why there were many classic battles in ancient times where less won more, just like the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Hefei.

In the end, Yang Ping'an shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Xu Taishou, you still have to think about it, if the Zhou army besieges the city, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how to keep Yangzhou from losing." ”

Xu Yuan's eyes straightened, although he thought that Yang Ping'an was too pessimistic, but it was not unreasonable, if he could call the shots, he would not agree to Shi Siming going out of the city to meet the enemy, just like Yang Ping'an said, discard his own advantages and have a fair battle with the enemy...... Isn't the defeat of Xianggong enough?

However, this is not because his eyes are straight, the real reason is that he didn't expect Yang Ping'an to have such a bottom.

During this time, Yang Ping'an has always been worried, and he often wanders when discussing the war, he only thinks that Yang Ping'an is a guy who eats with his face, and he is not bad, but he has no real talent and real learning, and he is still timid, otherwise he would not have sent someone to monitor in secret, and at the same time ordered the four gates to be blocked, just to prevent Yang Ping'an from escaping back to Luoyang.

And Yang Ping'an's words made him suddenly realize that his judgment of Yang Ping'an seemed to be biased.

Seeing Xu Yuan's appearance, Yang Ping'an said: "Why, Xu Taishou doesn't believe it, it's not that I have the ambition of others, the combat power of the Zhou army must not be underestimated, Shi Siming doesn't have to count on it anymore, Zhou General Du Bin may not be able to destroy him, but as long as he can be trapped, and at the same time, there is another Zhou army sneak attack on Yangzhou, not to mention cutting off his retreat, I am afraid that Yangzhou will be in danger." ”

"It's as terrible as you say." At this time, Xue Yufeng also went up to the city, "Lord Xu, don't be frightened by what he says, even if there is really a Zhou army to steal the city, I will let them come and go." ”

"You sent someone to move the rescue troops to Marshal Guo." Xue Yufeng's smug tone made Yang Ping'an understand in an instant.

Xue Yufeng nodded: "That's right, so even if there is really a Zhou army coming to steal the city, there will be reinforcements from outside, and I am leading my five thousand Xue family troops to kill from the city, and the internal and external attacks will definitely make the Zhou army come and go." ”

Yang Ping'an chuckled and didn't speak, when it came to leading troops to fight, he was far worse than Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, so he didn't understand the important surname of Yangzhou, and it also meant that Yangzhou was treated differently because of his relationship with Wu Cong.

However, his understanding of people's hearts, Tian Cewei's understanding of Southern Zhou is far greater than others, so he can see that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the two generalissimos of the Zhou and Tang Dynasties, are now holding each other back in the Chuzhou area.

With the outbreak of war, Guo Ziyi kept transferring the soldiers and horses stationed in Chuzhou to support Luzhou, Langxi and other places, but when there were 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Chuzhou, he no longer sent a soldier and a general to confront Li Guangbi's 100,000 Middle Route Army.

Although there were fights between the two sides, they were painless and there was never a fierce battle.

He couldn't fully understand why these two people, who had the ability to change the course of the war, did this, but he couldn't see the intention of the two sides to contain each other, and at the same time, they were also waiting for an opportunity to find a fighter plane to annihilate the other party in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he concluded that Chuzhou reinforcements would never come, even if Yangzhou City was broken, Chuzhou would not move a single soldier, as long as Guo Ziyi was still there, the Tang army would have a chance to turn defeat into victory, this is where the value of the military god lies.

Looking at Xue Yufeng, Yang Ping'an didn't speak, he could feel that since he asked the second question that day, Xue Yufeng's attitude towards him had changed, and he seemed to be surprised by that question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, let alone how to face himself.

He wasn't worried about Xue Yufeng betraying him, because he knew that Xue Yufeng was only temporarily unwell, and when Xue Yufeng made a decision, he would have his first army of soldiers.

Xu Yuan, a veteran worker, did not pay attention to the dispute between Xue Yufeng and Yang Ping'an, but issued an order on the same day, ordering the soldiers and civilians in the city to start consolidating the city defense again and preparing the equipment to defend the city.

He was busy writing, Xue Yufeng was stepping up the training of the five thousand Xue family army, and Yang Ping'an was leading Yang Yuhuan every day, accompanied by the shameless trio, standing at the head of the city, looking south.

"Big brother, there's good news from Shi Siming's guy again." An Lushan felt bored and muttered twice, "If you get rid of that guy earlier, the credit will be the eldest brother's." ”

As soon as Yang Ping'an heard it, he knew that An Lushan was worried about the post of general of Yangzhou.

It is no wonder that Shi Siming led the troops out of the city for ten days, and fought with the Zhou army three days after going out of the city, one battle a day, seven battles and seven victories, Yangzhou City has good news every day, and the number of enemies killed has increased from the initial 1,000 to more than 10,000 now, which can be described as more and more courageous, and a complete victory can be expected.

This credit is shameless, and the trio is all blushing.

"It's not uncommon to lie about military exploits." Yang Ping'an said indifferently, he didn't believe what Shi Siming said in the report, if he really killed so many Zhou troops, yesterday the Zhou army lost more than 10,000 in the First World War, and the 30,000 Zhou army would have collapsed long ago.

"But General Shi has indeed won seven battles and seven victories." Xu Yuan's voice came from behind him, and he soon walked to Yang Ping'an's side, "I've seen the horse." ”

Yang Ping'an waved his hand: "Lord Xu, please sit down, it's true that you have won seven battles and seven victories, but when you lure the enemy deep, you often use the defeated army to attract you, isn't it." ”

"Lure the enemy deeper." Xu Yuan was stunned.

Today, he came to Yang Ping'an, because he felt that Shi Siming had some problems with seven battles and seven victories, but he couldn't understand it for a while, thinking of Yang Ping'an's views on the war in the city ten days ago, he came to ask for advice.

Hearing Yang Ping'an's opinion, he frowned for a moment, and said: "But the Zhou army is only 30,000, and this official has learned that the Zhou army in Zhenjiang has not moved, and there is no Zhou army from other places coming, if it is really luring the enemy to go deeper, General Shi also has 30,000 soldiers and horses." ”

30,000 besieged 30,000, if there is no time and place, it is almost impossible.

"Hehe, Lord Xu, haven't you forgotten the 100,000 Zhou troops on the river?"

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, he saw Cheng Cheng a horse galloping quickly from a distance, and the person on the horse seemed to be beating his crotch mount like a desperate person, and he came to the city after a while.

Before the horse could be stopped, the man on the horse rolled down from the horse, and this person did not care about his injuries, and almost crawled to the city with a rolling belt, and shouted sadly: "Go and report quickly, General Shi's soldiers are trapped in Huang Nize, and quickly send reinforcements to rescue." ”

Sure enough, as Yang Ping'an expected, Shi Siming's seven battles and seven victories were just bait thrown by Zhou Jun, which was sweet but poisonous.

Huang Nize is located in the south of Yangzhou City, where the ability of Huang Ni Bay, there is a small river flowing into the Yangtze River, Huang Nize is on the bank of the Yangtze River, where the reeds are overgrown and the land is muddy, which is extremely unfavorable to the march, and people with a little common sense will not lead the army to enter.

But Shi Siming was carried away by the winning streak, and only thought that he could defeat the Zhou army in one more battle, and he didn't think twice about waving the army to chase after the defeated soldiers, so that the soldiers were trapped in Huang Nize.

After the defeated army pursued by him entered Huangnize, he immediately got on the small boat that had been ready to meet them, and joined the Zhou army's naval division on the Yangtze River, while Du Bin's 30,000 soldiers and horses were deployed on the periphery to block the loop, while the Zhou army's 50,000 naval divisions crossed the river and trapped Shi Siming's soldiers and horses in Huangnize.
