Chapter 502: Yang Su

(Thank you for your support, thank you!) )

Longyou, Lingzhou.

Since Yang Su defeated Datou, he has been stationed in the city of Lingzhou, and at the same time sent his general Zhou Luohu to garrison Fengzhou. In that battle, Yang Su did not use ordinary tactics, gave up the traditional Han army to deal with cavalry with ordinary chariots, cavalry and infantry cross-coordinated formation, and directly faced the Datou army to open the cavalry formation, which led to the Datou happy to attack, as a result, the Turks were eager to win, and the formation was untidy under the light enemy, and the experienced Yang Su seized the fleeting fighter plane, and sent the most elite heavy cavalry to suddenly attack and charge, and then personally led the army to cover up, so the defeat of Datou's more than 100,000 troops. The battle was dark, hundreds of thousands of troops of the two armies launched a tragic tear killing, both sides were desperate attacks, in the end it was Yang Su who had the last laugh, but the 150,000 troops under his command also suffered heavy losses, more than half of the losses.

Datou's losses were even more severe, leaving only more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to flee from the battlefield, just as Yang Su was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, the Jingshi had a change. Shi Wansui cunningly broke away from the camp and led his troops to Liangzhou, but Yang Su only had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands, and he had to retreat to Lingzhou and Feng Erzhou to rest. Shi Wansui occupies several prefectures of Gan, Liang and Hui, and has nearly 50,000 horses. Because of this, the Western Route Army was divided into two, guarding against each other, and has not been able to make further moves.

Yang Xiu sent people over to pass on several edicts, and the officials who sealed him were bigger and bigger, first the Taifu, then the left servant of Jin, and then even directly sealed the Shang Shu Order, and the new edict today added him as the Taishi. The sons of his entourage even made all the county dukes. Even his grandson was crowned the county prince. Later, Yang Guang finally sent someone to send a holy decree and conferred on him the Duke of Chu, Taishi, and Shangshu Ling. even posthumously earned his father the king of the county.

"Father, what are you waiting for?" The eldest son, Yang Xuan, asked his father puzzled. On the table in my father's study, there were one after another sealed edicts, and the rewards were higher and higher each time, but my father didn't move at all.

"One more decree is missing." Yang Su sat on the chair, holding a book in his hand with his beard, but he didn't turn it once for a long time, obviously absent-minded.

Yang Xuangan didn't understand, what kind of holy decree was missing, could it be that his father was still waiting to be crowned king?

"Xuangan, you're still too young." Yang Su said. "If you keep being like this, how will the Yang family hand it over to you in the future?"

"Father, in the last battle, I led my three thousand cavalry to defeat the enemy with a number of enemies, and the Turks who fought fled in the wilderness." Yang Xuangan replied, "Father is afraid that he doesn't know yet, and now the army calls the child Chu Overlord." Yang Xuan is very proud of himself to get this title. He also proved himself with a horse lance in this Northern Expedition.

According to the message. Yang Xiu used a trick to capture and kill Yang Zhao, and recaptured the Yizhou army and Yizhou. And Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Han Seng Shouyu, Wen Bi and others welcomed Yang Lin into Taiyuan and placed Yang Yong under house arrest. Also, Yang Guang borrowed troops from Goguryeo. The king of Goguryeo led 80,000 Liao soldiers into western Liao. Yang Lin sent He Ruobi to lead 120,000 cavalry south to attack Guanzhong. Yang Su watched his son pour him full of wine, and said, "The latest news, Shi Wansui has been loyal to Yang Xiu. At this moment, he was leading the troops to come, and the soldiers passed the Huining Pass. It's only about three days away. ”

"How is this possible, isn't Shi Wansui Yang Yong's person?" Yang Xuangan didn't understand why Shi Wansui suddenly voted for Yang Xiu?

"Mystery sense. You use your brains a lot, don't you know what kind of person Shi Wansui is this reckless man, he is extremely greedy and has no loyalty at all. When he offended Yang Xiu during the war in the southwest, he was imprisoned, and it was Fei Dan, the king of Jin, who tried his best to rescue him. As a result, he did not hesitate to accept Yang Yong's bribe and betrayed King Jin. Now, he voted for Yang Xiu again, I must not think it is unusual. It is said that Yang Xiu gave him the condition that he was named the Duke of Wu Guo, the Taibao, and the right servant of Shangshu. This greedy guy now wants to be the third prince and the prime minister, and he doesn't look at it, just like his bird, what qualifications does he have to enter the prime minister? "Shi Wansui has commanded the troops under Yang Su many times, and he thinks that Yang Su has seen Shi Wansui quite thoroughly. This guy has always been unruly, and when he was under his command, he disobeyed orders many times and acted boldly, but this guy always felt that he was suppressing him and robbing him of his military merits. He doesn't look at it, he needs to suppress him, he needs to rob him of his military merits?

"Out of the general, Shi Wansui doesn't have this brain, it's okay to fight and charge, but at most he is a cavalry general, at most he is a general, he can't even be handsome, compared to his father, he is too far behind." Yang Xuangan hurriedly patted his father's ass.

"This man has no other skills, but his courage has always been surprisingly great. The old man couldn't understand where he had the courage to lead his troops to challenge the old man. ”

"Could it be Yang Xiu's instructions, his father has not replied to him, so he will strike first."

Yang Su took a sip of the wine glass, picked up the book, looked at it twice, and put it down, he was really not in the mood to read at this time. Shi Wansui led his troops to come, obviously coming at him, which made him very surprised, is this Shi Wansui's own meaning, or Yang Xiu's meaning? On the one hand, he felt that this might just be Shi Wansui's own meaning, although this guy had been under his command several times, he had always been at odds with him, always felt that he had suppressed him, and even always wanted to replace him. Now maybe he got the promise of Yang Xiu's prime minister, and he immediately dared to take advantage of the fire to rob, and now when his troops were outnumbered, he attacked himself and replaced himself. But on the other hand, he felt that if it weren't for Yang Xiu's instruction or Yang Xiu's acquiescence, no matter how bold Shi Wansui was, he wouldn't dare to take the initiative to challenge him.

In any case, Yang Xiu is unreliable.

"Father, the child doesn't understand, haven't you always supported King Jin, now that he has been called the emperor and owns half of the country, why don't you accept the order to reply? King Jin's conditions are not bad. ”

Yang Su shook his head, he supported Yang Guang at the beginning, and it was not supported from the beginning, but he watched carefully for a long time, and saw that the prince was indeed hated by the above, and when the king of Jin was deeply concerned and had a great chance of winning, he finally bet on the king of Jin. But now it's different, the situation is changing, it's changing. Three emperors, Yang Xiu, Yang Yong, and Yang Guang. In other words, the tripartite forces of Yang Xiu, Yang Lin, and Yang Guang now have no interference from the emperor. can only rely on their strength, and among these three parties. Yang Xiu is undoubtedly the weakest, and he is the target of everyone, and it is difficult to turn over in the name of killing the monarch and usurping the throne. Yang Guang and Yang Lin The battle between father and son, Yang Guang did not have the upper hand, especially just now Yang Zhao was actually killed by Yang Xiu, which was a huge blow to Yang Guang, the prince was suddenly killed, and he also lost 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou. Even the large territory of Yizhou returned to Yang Xiu's hands in a blink of an eye. Yang Guang died, the prince lost one-third of the territory, and there was even an important thing, Yang Guang originally only had two sons, but now the eldest son is in the hands of Yang Xiu, and the second son is still in the hands of Yang Xiu, and Yang Guang now has no son. The remaining illegitimate son, Yang Lin, has become the biggest opponent.

Yang Su thought about it and felt that Yang Guang's future was worrying, which was why he never replied to Yang Guang.

Yang Su's concept has always been that he will never stand on the side of the doomed loser.

"Listen to my father. Do you want to vote for Yang Lin? Yang Xuansheng was surprised.

"Is there anything surprising about it?" Yang Su taught his son, "Of course we have to stand on the side of the winner, in this regard, my father has to admire the old thief and painstakingly support the prince for 20 years." When it comes to the most critical juncture, he will abandon it, and he has no hesitation at all, which has to make people admire his decisiveness. It's not enough to be a father. Speaking of which. As a father, he still has some friendship with Yang Lin. ”

"But we are now in Longyou, and we are blocked from Xiao Pass. Shi Wansui waved his troops to attack again, if we vote for Yang Lin at this time. How could Yang Xiu sit idly by, maybe he would send troops to attack. In this case, can we only retreat to Fengzhou, or retreat to Hedong? ”

"I don't care about voting for Yang Lin now, but Yang Lin hasn't sent anyone to contact me." Yang Lin didn't mean to reveal his true thoughts to his son. In fact, Yang Lin had sent someone to contact him, and at that time, Yang Xuangan personally followed him to meet the visitor, but he believed that his father meant that Yang Lin did not give the same generous conditions as Yang Xiu and Yang Guang. As a father, if you don't pay enough attention to it, you will take the initiative to paste it like this, which will inevitably be too bad and not get the attention it deserves. Especially Gao Gong, who his father has always regarded as an opponent, is now Shang Shuling and Taishi of the Yang Lin Dynasty, and his father cares more and more about this.

Perhaps Yang Lin saw that his father only had these 30,000 horses left in his hands, guarding the land of the two states, and he didn't pay enough attention. Perhaps, as a father, he should take Shi Wansui to make a good cut, and then show his skills as a father. Yang Su played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckle.

A father's may often mean that he has made up his mind. Yang Xuangan picked up the wine glass and was about to send it to his mouth, but when he heard this, he hurriedly put it down. "War with Shi Wansui?" He repeated with some suspicion. If he hadn't always admired his father in his heart, he would have thought that his father was joking. Shi Wansui has more than 40,000 horses, and they only have 30,000, during this time, I heard that Shi Wansui is still recruiting troops and horses in Hexi, and maybe Shi Wansui came this time with Yang Xiu's instructions, so Yang Xiu's soldiers and horses may be able to kill Xiao Pass at any time. They are guarding this loop, and there are no reinforcements, how can they fight?

Besides, although his father is powerful, Shi Wansui is just as brave. Although he is crazy, he does have the ability to be crazy, the last time he fought a decisive battle with the Turks, he saw with his own eyes the scene of Shi Wansui leading his troops to charge, that is called a fierce man. Shi Wansui is not only fierce, but also has many fierce generals under his command, among them there is a man named Zhang Xutuo, he has a deep impression, he seems to be an inconspicuous middle-aged man, but he leads the troops but does not leak, and he also created a self-created eight-wind array, which is really amazing. Last time, he led a battalion of men to defeat twice as many Turks, but Zhang Xutuo used his own eight-wind battalion to defeat tens of thousands of Turkic troops.

"It's not all about numbers, otherwise how would we defeat the 200,000 Turkic army with 150,000 last time? And how did Yang Lin defeat more than 100,000 Turks in Daibei with only tens of thousands of horses? Fighting a war depends on the head! Yang Su pointed to his head.

Fathers always have a way to win more with less, and the weak over the strong. Many people always say that my father relied on a cruel word in his use of soldiers, and the military law was strict. But they didn't see that although his father was extremely strict with his soldiers, among the generals in the court, he was the most popular commander among the generals under his command. He always has a way to get the soldiers to support, even at the cost of his life. Other so-called famous generals such as Shi Wansui and He Ruobi have never been able to do this. He once asked his father about the trick, and his father's answer was only one sentence, "Only rewards and punishments are clear!" ”

It's very simple, but how many can really do it?

"But we only have 30,000 men, and there are quite a few wounded soldiers."

"To deal with the reckless man Shi Wansui, 30,000 people are enough." Yang Su said confidently.

At the beginning of May, Yi Feng led his army south, with Yang Yong with him. Yang Yong kept shouting that he refused to leave Taiyuan, he figured it out, it was impossible for him to regain power, since he was destined to be Yang Lin's puppet, and maybe one day Yang Lin would not need him. So it's better to just enjoy it now, these days in Taiyuan Jinyang Palace are still happy, at least women have not been lacking, good wine has not been less, in this case, why do you have to travel all the way to Luoyang, anyway, if you go to Luoyang, you are also a puppet, it is better to stay in Taiyuan, maybe Yang Lin is not more comfortable with him at that time. It's a pity that Yang Lin didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly sent the crown prince Zuo Wei and Zuo Yulin's general Qin Qiong with a group of Beiya forbidden troops to forcibly invite him on the road. Finally, he still had some face as an emperor, and Qin Qiong finally agreed to bring the beauties he was pampered in Jinyang Palace.

When Yi Feng and the Taiyuan court went south, some of the forbidden troops of the Northern Ya, which had gone south in advance, had already taken over Hedong, Shifen, Lujin, Fenze, Jiang, Cipu and other prefectures, and the forward went straight to Luoyang.

Jiangzhou, Hedong, the north end of Yiguan is here, south of Luoyang, north of Heyang Jiyuan, the north end of the important passage to Luoyang, but also the gateway to the southeast of the river. Baibi Town, twenty miles southwest of Jiangzhou, is an important gateway guarding this gateway. Yi Feng and his entourage went south and arrived in Jiangzhou, but He Ruobi, who had gone south early, still attacked Puzhou east of the Yellow River without an inch.

"He Ruobi wanted to seize Pujin Pass and enter the pass, and launched several fierce attacks before and after, but the Pujin Bridge was extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and He Ruobi was difficult to enter." The privy envoy Wang Bao reported to Yi Feng the latest progress of the rebel army.

Yi Feng is not surprised, it is needless to say that the danger in Guanzhong is solid, although He Ruobi is a famous general, but the guards in Guanzhong are not all vegetarians, as long as the generals in Guanzhong are not looking at the wind, then it is impossible to attack Guanzhong in a short time. Yi Feng hadn't expected him to attack Guanzhong immediately, so he wasn't disappointed when he heard this result.

"You don't have to just stare at Pujin Pass, you can send one or two partial divisions to go around, such as Mengmen Pass in Shizhou, Yonghe Pass in Xizhou, Madou Pass, and Longmen Pass in Jiangzhou, all of which are ferries for crossing the river to the west, so there is no need to stare at Pujin Pass. First find a way to cross the river, then occupy a bridgehead to advance to the base, and then take your time, not in a hurry. Yi Feng asked the Privy Council to send a document to He Ruobi.
