Yang Yuanqing's face sank, and he said coldly: "My surname is Yang, but his country name is Dingyang, is this a slap in the face to me?" “

Wang Jinfu hurriedly explained, "Dingyang is the title of the Turkic Khan, and the Yang targeted refers to the Sui Dynasty, not the Yang governor, and my emperor definitely has no disrespect for the Yang governor." ”

Yang Yuanqing snorted coldly, "What did Liu Wuzhou send you to do?" ”

"When the emperor of my family heard that the Fengzhou army was coming, he was terrified, and he specially prepared a small gift for the governor."

Wang Jinfu pointed to the three hundred beautiful girls and said: "These three hundred beauties are all Fenyang palace maids, all of them are perfect, and they are given to the chief manager to serve the bed, and there are also hundreds of boxes of jewelry, gold and jade are also treasures of Fenyang Palace, which are specially dedicated to the chief for military resources." ”

Yang Yuanqing walked to the three hundred palace maids and glanced at them, the three hundred palace maids all saluted together, he walked to the box again, and the entourage opened the box, all of which were gold, silver and jewelry, shining with gold and dazzling.

Yang Yuanqing turned around and asked Wang Jinfu with a smile, "Liu Wuzhou wants to surrender to me?" ”

Wang Jinfu was stunned and hurriedly shook his head, "Emperor Dingyang means that the two families form an alliance and are a state of brothers. ”

'Alliance? ’

Yang Yuanqing sneered, and pointed at the palace maid and the treasure chest with a horsewhip, "These are the palace maids and palace things in Fenyang Palace, which are owned by my Great Sui, and were stolen by Liu Wuzhou's thieves, I will now take them back on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, these have nothing to do with Liu Wuzhou, as for the alliance, as long as Liu Wuzhou sends 300,000 cattle and sheep as an alliance gift, I will form an alliance with him, not attack him, and go to Taiyuan by the way, this is my condition." ”

Wang Jinfu came this time with two tasks, one was to delay the Fengzhou army's attack on Mayi, and the other was to check the reality of the Fengzhou army. Unexpectedly, he can't even enter the camp now. So that he could not see the reality of the Fengzhou army at all, and now he could only delay the attack of the Fengzhou army on Mayi as much as possible, arrogant their military morale, and buy time for his army.

Wang Jinfu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It takes time to gather 300,000 cattle and sheep, can you delay us for a month, and it will be delivered in a month." ”

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "A month is too long, half a month at most." If it is not sent in half a month, our Fengzhou army will attack Mayi County and set foot in Shanyang County. ”

"Yes! Be! I understand it and do it by all means. ”

Wang Jinfu gave a deep salute, hurriedly got on the horse and went back with a group of entourage, Yang Yuanqing saw them go away, so he pointed to the three hundred palace maids and said to his own military captain: "Send them all to Yulin County, and let the county order settle them well." ”

The captain agreed, ordered the soldiers to catch up with the carriage, and the palace maids got into the carriage one after another. Cheng Yanjin next to him was a little worried, and stepped forward to persuade Yang Yuanqing: "The chief manager must not be confused by women and fall for Liu Wuzhou's plan." ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at him strangely, and Cheng Yanjin's eyes flickered. Feeling a little weak, Yang Yuanqing smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and went to the camp.

Qin Qiong followed up and said in a low voice: "Actually, biting Jin is right, use women to confuse the manager." It was indeed Liu Wuzhou's plan. ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that Qin Qiong's face was solemn, not Cheng Yanjin's eyes flickering, so he smiled slightly: "Your time with me is still a little shorter, when has I, Yang Yuanqing, been confused by women, these women were selected to enter the palace, most of them are from white families, and many young generals in our army are single and unmarried." I plan to marry them to meritorious generals, and I will take part of the jewels as their dowry, and the rest of the jewels will be distributed among the soldiers of the three armies. ”

Qin Qiong sighed, "The chief manager has clear rewards and punishments, and he is sympathetic to the soldiers, which is the blessing of the Fengzhou army!" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "I didn't expect Shubao to say flattering words." ”

Qin Qiong's face flushed, and he was about to explain, but Yang Yuanqing patted his arm and smiled: "No need to explain, come to the big tent of the Chinese army, I have a task for you." ”

Cheng Yanjin scratched his nose lightly, staring blankly at the three hundred young and beautiful palace maids, and his eyes were all hooked by them.

．．．．．．．

"Steward!"

Cheng Yanjin chased after him from behind, Yang Yuanqing stopped and looked at him, and said with a slight smile: "What reason did you think of?" ”

"This crusade, my wife stayed in Lingwu County alone, no one took care of her, I really don't worry, I want to find a girl to take care of her, gentle and virtuous, good looks, white skin, see if you can ......"

"Yes, you can, but you have to make meritorious contributions, and you can't be punished without merit, understand?" Yang Yuanqing looked at him, there was a faint smile in his eyes, but there was a majesty that could not be refuted in this smile.

Cheng Yanjin nodded slowly, he finally began to realize the difference between the Fengzhou Army and the Wagang Army, everything here is based on military merits, and all human relationships are fucking eggs.

Cheng Yanjin sighed, "I want to ask for meritorious service, do you have a chance?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "You go back to pack your things, and report to General Qin's big tent in half an hour, you are his deputy general." ”

Cheng Yanjin glanced at Qin Qiong, turned around and rushed towards his camp, Qin Qiong looked at his back and smiled: "Actually, he is good, he seems to be rude, but he also has a careful side, and he has made a lot of great contributions in the Wagang Army." ”

"Even if he makes great contributions in the Wagang Army, it has nothing to do with me, here, if he can't make meritorious contributions, he won't want to get a reward of a star and a half, this iron law of the Fengzhou Army, even if it is me Yang Yuanqing."

After speaking, Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Qiong hurriedly threw away his distracting thoughts and followed Yang Yuanqing towards the big tent.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, only Li Jing stood alone in front of the sand table, Yang Yuanqing walked in with Qin Qiong, and asked with a smile: "Sima, did you ask?" ”

Among the people who came with the three hundred palace maids, there were also two old eunuchs of Fenyang Palace, Li Jing asked them about the situation just now, he nodded, "I have asked, there are 1,000 garrisons in Fenyang Palace, and there were originally 50,000 stones of grain, which were moved away by Liu Wuzhou one after another, and now there are about 10,000 stones left, and there is still a lot of forage." ”

Yang Yuanqing walked to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and pointed to the Fenyang Palace, and said to Qin Qiong: "I also participated in the construction of this Fenyang Palace, located in the northeast foothills of Guanshui Mountain, the terrain is steep, there is only one road to go up the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you can also see it as a castle, its strategic location is very important, located at the junction of the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen and Loufu, take it, it is a wedge into Liu Wuzhou's heart, and at the same time can cut off Liu Wuzhou's north-south baggage transportation. ”

Qin Qiong understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, "The manager means to let me take Fenyang Palace." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded and handed him a map of Fenyang Palace, "I'll give you three thousand troops, take Fenyang Palace within three days, and hold it." ”

．．．．．．．

Qin Qiong retired, and only Li Jing and Yang Yuanqing were left in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing smiled slightly: "I really thought that you didn't plan to use strange soldiers against Liu Wuzhou, it seems that you still can't help but use it." ”

"The way to use soldiers lies in the combination of positive and odd, how can I not use strange soldiers."

Yang Yuanqing also smiled lightly: "Frankly speaking, I just didn't put Liu Wuzhou in the first place in the strategy, I thought more about Li Yuan, and our real opponent is Li Yuan." ”

Li Jing was silent for a while and said, "But no matter what, you can't despise Liu Wuzhou." ”

"I didn't despise him."

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Maybe you don't understand what I mean, I mean that while dealing with Liu Wuzhou, I am also dealing with Li Yuan, and now Liu Wuzhou is my obstacle, and I hope to turn him into Li Yuan's trouble." ”

Li Jing seemed to understand what Yang Yuanqing meant, he took a deep look at the sand table, and pointed to Lishi County with a wooden pole, "If this is the case, then the first step is to seize Lishi County and cut off Liu Wuzhou's way to flee west." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "That's right, I've already deployed." ”

Li Jing was a little stunned, he didn't understand what Yang Yuanqing meant.

．．．．．．．．．

Lishi County Yellow River ferry, the Yellow River ferries are coming from the opposite bank, the two banks are up to more than ten zhang of the Qinjin Gorge, the mountains are steep, the middle of the canyon is the surging Yellow River, the water flow is turbulent, but in the turbulent Yellow River water, hundreds of big ferries are coming by the wind and waves, the boat is full of soldiers and war horses, there is an unusually tall and fat general standing on the head of the big boat, it is Yang Wei, according to Yang Yuanqing's deployment, he led 10,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Yanshuikou and occupy Lishi County.

Lishi County was controlled by Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou deployed 20,000 troops here, stationed in Lishi, Dinghu, Xiuhua and Pingyi four counties, the closest to the Yellow River crossing is Dinghu County, only 15 miles away from the ferry, there are 3,000 garrisons, commanded by a captain.

At this time, Liu Wuzhou's army had received a report from the sentinel that there were Sui soldiers crossing the river, and the commander would immediately lead 3,000 men to cross the river.

The first batch of more than 1,400 people had crossed the river, and the ferry boat went back to transport the second batch, and more than 1,400 Sui troops went up the cliff and concentrated in a formation on a high ground, at this time, a scout rushed to Yang Wei to report: "General Qiyu, five miles away, we found an enemy army killing us, about 3,000 people. ”

"How's the equipment?" Yang Wei asked calmly.

Over the years, Yang has become a one-sided general, who can quickly capture the weaknesses of his opponents and exploit the strengths of his army.

"The clothes are mixed, some wear leather armor, some wear two-gear armor, some only wear cloth clothes, and the weapons are also messy, spears, short knives, and even hoes."

"Are there cavalry? How is the queue? ”

"General Hui, there are only a dozen generals and cavalry, and although the team is lined up, it is very chaotic."

Yang Wei laughed, judging from his experience, this was just a peripheral army of bandits, a rabble.

He immediately ordered Zuo Yannian, the captain beside him: "You can lead the cavalry of your headquarters to disperse this army and kill the leader of the general!" ”

"Obey!"

Captain Zuo Yannian ran back to the team and waved his hand, "Follow me!" ”

Four hundred cavalrymen galloped away with Captain Zuo Yannian.
