Chapter 472: Yang Jian, who is like a thorn in his back
(Thank you to Henryhuang, Da Shui Huo, Chen Dagu, and Xiaobei for your support, thank you!) )
In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the willows blow the embankment, and the spring is brilliant.
In the early dynasty, Yang Jian said happily to the ministers, "The good news ahead, the western front Longyou, the Yue Gong Yang Su and Datou encountered in the north of Lingzhou. Datoutong attacked with more than 100,000 cavalry, but he could not break through the defense line of Yue Guogong at all. In the middle road, the crown prince and Gao Gong, He Ruobi, and Han Seng Shou led an army of 150,000 to surround Yunyunnei, block the mouth of the Great Wall, and cut off the Turkic people's return route. And the better news is that Yang Lin, the imperial grandson of the Marshal of the East Road, first deliberately showed weakness to lure the Turkic army deep into the two states of Daibei Weifei, and then the strange troops came out to break the Turkic army, and now 20,000 Turkic troops have been annihilated, 30,000 prisoners, and successfully besieged 30,000 Turkic defeated regiments in Yanzhou, and the 30,000 Turkic troops are already turtles in the urn. Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Expedition is very good. ”
"God bless my Great Sui, God bless Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Yang Jian stroked his beard and smiled, laughing extremely happily, the mood that had been suppressed was happy today.
"Inform the Lingzhou Yue Guogong of the good news of the East Road and Middle Route Army, and let him judge the time and seize the situation, seize the opportunity, and defeat Datou." Yang Jian's happy fingers tapped lightly on the imperial case, "Send an edict to the crown prince and grandson, so that they must speed up their actions, defeat the 100,000 invading Turkic troops besieging and blocking the Great Wall as soon as possible, and leave the Great Wall as soon as possible to sweep the grassland." Sue them, I am waiting for them to triumph in Daxing City. ”
Today's morning court atmosphere is very good, enthusiastic, and Yang Jian is also beaming in the court. However, when he returned to the temple of manna, the joy on his face gradually receded. In its place, there was a gloom. On top of his imperial case, there was an open notebook, which he had read dozens of times repeatedly, and every time he read it, Yang Jian's face became more and more ugly. It was sent by Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who is now in Jinju. The content of the fold is very shocking, and the detailed performance is about the victory of Daibei that he just announced in the palace today. The Turks lightly captured the Great Wall of the Turks, and Yang Yong, Gao Gong, He Ruobi and others did not take precautions in advance, so that the Turks broke through the Great Wall as if they had entered a no-man's land, and lightly captured the extremely important northern important place Yunnei. Then Gao Gong held his troops and horses again. This allowed the Turks to easily sweep through Daibei and attack the two states of Fu and Wei to the east. In this battle, the Eastern Route Army, which was only planned as a reserve force, had to withstand the ferocious attack of 200,000 Turkic troops, and the imperial grandson sent more than a dozen urgent letters for help in a day, but Gao He Ruobi sat on 250,000 elite troops in the middle of the road, but he was reluctant to send troops. This forced De Taisun to deal with the Turkic army alone. In the end, thanks to Taisun's calm response, he first showed weakness, and then made surprise troops, broke through the way, and finally achieved a great victory on behalf of the north, destroying 20,000 enemies, forcing 30,000 to land, and besieging 30,000. And Gao Gong until the war has become clear. At this time, he immediately commanded 150,000 troops with He Ruobi to quickly go north, and Shanshan rushed to Yunnei to pick peaches late. Yang Guang's memora is written in great detail, and every incident indicates the cause and effect. There is even a lot of evidence.
In fact, there is no need for Yang Guang's twists and turns, how could Yang Jian not pay attention to such an important national war, I don't know. As early as the Northern Expedition plan was determined and the various armies were mobilized, Yang Jian had already inserted all his spies into the armies. The wind and grass of soldiers and horses from all walks of life. Yang Jian was able to learn about the situation very quickly. In fact, Gao Yiton's soldiers and horses did not advance. He already knew later, so the Turks swept through Daibei. He also quickly learned that he just didn't have a seizure right away. Such a big battle, he knows its importance, and he also knows the ability of Gao Gong to command the army, except for the failure of the expedition to the east, Gao Gong has never had an accident. He didn't want to interfere with Gao Gong, lest the command be chaotic and cause even more trouble. In fact, he thought carefully for a long time, trying to guess the purpose of Gao Gong's behavior, and finally came to the conclusion that Gao Gong's move was nothing more than two, one is that the Turkic army is extremely sharp, and they are all cavalry, and they are extremely mobile, they come very fast, if Gao Gong leads the army north to the front line of the Outer Great Wall to fight the Turks, although it can also block the Turks, but it is more difficult to defeat the Turks, or even defeat the Turks. After all, the first line of the Great Wall, the Sui Dynasty has not been too strong to operate, but as a buffer zone, sparsely populated, dilapidated cities, and few soldiers and horses. And if the Daibei front line is abandoned and the Turkic army is led to Yanmen, Loufu, and Mayi, then the Sui army will no longer have difficulties in logistics supply, second, it will also have a strong fortress to rely on, and third, it will wait for work. And the Turks came to the south, galloping all the way, and therefore far away from the grassland, it is also a big problem for their logistics, and the most important problem, the Sui army can defend first and then attack, when the Turks are no longer sharp, the Sui army counterattacked, at that time, even if the Turks want to run, they can be hundreds of miles away from the grassland, but this road is not so easy to run, besides, when Gao Gong lured the enemy to the south, he was stationed on the first line of Yanmen Mayi, and at the same time he could also send troops out of Ulzhou to the north of Shuozhou, outflanking the Turkic army, which was the best way to annihilate the Turkic army in one fell swoop.
Of course, if Gao Gong really just planned to do so, then he could have told Yang Lin in advance, or even himself, that he didn't. And when the Turks did not attack Mayi as he had hoped, but went east, he did not immediately send troops. Gao Gong still did not advance, this is obvious, he adjusted the strategy, obviously wanted the emperor grandson's Eastern Route Army to fight hard with the Turkic army first, exhausted the Turks' spirit, and dragged them tired, and then Gao Gong sent troops north again, surrounded the Turks in the north and annihilated. It is obvious that Gao Gong wants to use Taisun, not only to annihilate the Turkic army, but also to weaken Taisun's strength by the hands of the Turks.
He had heard that the relationship between the prince and the grandson was very stiff, although the grandson invited Yang Lin to be the grandson, but Yang Lin had surprisingly maintained an almost neutral attitude in the battle between the prince and the king of Jin. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the crown prince and Gao Gong want to use the Turks to teach the prince a lesson, and their method of teaching may be to weaken the strength of the prince and make him have to pay attention to the prince's words in the future. On the other hand, Gao Gong can win this battle more easily.
Yang Jian didn't like this conclusion very much, he could guess that this could never be the prince's intention, it must have come from the hands of Gao Gong, and maybe He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou's participation. I don't like it or not, but when it comes to the Northern Expedition, in the end, Yang Jian still took these things to heart, and he couldn't help but not give Gao Gong an order to urge him to enter the army. If it was just to sacrifice some soldiers and horses of the Eastern Route Army, in exchange for gathering and destroying 200,000 Turkic invading soldiers and horses, Yang Jian felt that it was still worth it. As for Gao Gong's actions being too presumptuous and bold, you might as well wait for this battle to win before calculating with him.
It's just that Gao Gong probably didn't expect that this would be the end of the day. Even Yang Jian himself, when he returned to the front line to send back the good news, he didn't care to believe it at all. Kill 20,000 enemies, collect 30,000, besiege 30,000, in the face of the siege of 150,000 people of the Third Route Army, Taisun not only firmly blocked the Turks to the west of Taihang, blocked them from entering Hebei, and finally able to cripple two of the three roads, what a rare record, especially rare is that their own casualties are very few, not only did they lose nothing, but also accepted 30,000 Turkic troops, and their strength increased greatly.
Yang Jian had to admit that he still underestimated Yang Lin a little too much. knew that he had such a ability, and he directly asked Yang Lin to take over the position of King Jin.
However, with this battle, many problems that were not noticed before were exposed.
The strength of the imperial grandson Yang Lin in Huaihuang was far beyond his cognition. The secret reports that came back from the north one after another made him understand the strength of Taisun little by little. The two field cavalry armies of Tiger Wing and Eagle Yang were 20,000 people. In addition, there are four field infantry armies, Huaihuang, Yuyi, Chengde, and Xuanwu, with the establishment of six battalions and five regiments in each army, each army has 20,000, and the four field infantry armies have 80,000, plus 20,000 cavalry of the two armies, which is 100,000 people. In addition to these six field infantry cavalry armies, Huaihuang also has five town garrison armies, each army has several military towns and forts, with 12,000 troops, and the fifth army is 60,000. In addition, according to his intelligence, the imperial grandson in Huaihuang also has a large number of inspection divisions, patrols, security teams, urban management teams, security teams, etc., it is simply varied, in short, Huaihuang is a bit of a national soldier, these soldiers are similar to the township soldiers and militia regiments, there are regular training every year, wartime can be trained and conscripted, it is said that these various teams in Huaihuang belong to the reserves, adding up to tens of thousands.
Even if he ignores these security guards, urban management, public security and other reserves, Yang Lin still has the military power that shocked him. 100,000 field troops, 60,000 garrison troops, it is hard to imagine that this was pulled up in a short period of time in the land of the fortress. It is said that when Taisun entered Beijing, Huaihuang's field army was only about 100,000 people, and in just a few months, Taisun's soldiers and horses had almost doubled.
Taisun is very rich, and this money is basically used by him to raise soldiers.
Not long ago, he gave Yang Lin the territory of the thirty-two states of Youzhou, and now Yang Lin is famous, soldiers, rich and land.
Yang Jian's heart hesitated, restless, like a thorn in his back, Yang Lin made him feel a little out of control.
He is now the grandson of the emperor and the prince of the country. If he wants to abolish Yang Yongli and Yang Guang, Yang Lin is afraid that the first one will not agree. (To be continued) R580
