Chapter 317: Temper
"General Yang, these people who dare to fight after the end of the army, please take them to Zhuozhou and write to the court to show their merits. Wu Yingying said to Yang Ye beside him, pointing to the more than 20,000 forbidden troops sitting on the ground resting on the other side, "Cao Han has entangled 80,000 or 90,000 forbidden troops in Zhuozhou, and it is very difficult for the Khitans to please them." Yang Ye nodded, looked at Wu Yingying with a complicated expression, and after a while, Fang said in a deep voice: "Wu Jiedu, if you don't tell you, you will become a fire and water with the imperial court, and even if you surrender in the future, it will be difficult to win trust." This step is taken, and it will be irretrievable after that, can you think clearly?"
Wu Yingying listened to his words, nodded, and said: "Thank you General Yang for your care, my mind has been decided, the man's husband, why bend the knee to serve the rats." If there are traitors in the court who are embarrassed by General Yang, the Anxi army will definitely come to meet General Yang. His words were sonorous, Yang Ye heard that he seemed to have a great rebellion in his words, shook his head, said no more, pointed to the grain carts piled up in the salt ditch, and said in a deep voice: "This is a long way to Hexi, I know that you have the Xingu Hussars to meet in Saibei, but suddenly there are so many subordinates, so I brought these military rations and pack horses with me in case of emergency." Wu Yingying was also not polite, and arched his hand: "Thank you, General Yang." Yang Ye sighed and turned to leave. Yang Yanzhao accompanied him and said to Wu Yingying: "Brother Wu, take care." Yize's horse turned away, more than 20,000 forbidden troops got up under the rectification of the Yang cavalry, and it took a long time to make a queue, everyone knew that the Khitan cavalry of 10,000 cavalry was eyeing the north of the salt ditch, all of them were careful, and they did not raise fire, and retreated south along the salt ditch in the dark.
Seeing Yang Ye and his son lead the army away, Wu Yingying turned his head and said to Wang Yu: "The battle of Youzhou has made the official family disappointed in you, why don't you go to Anxi." Wang Yu looked at the south from afar, and said slowly: "My father's testament, although the children of the Wang family believe in the Holy Religion, they should always serve the Central Plains Zhengshuo, and they must not forget their own votes. His mood was extremely heavy, Zhao Jiong had already revealed his estrangement, and recently he had been using the traitorous Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost. In his opinion, the five dynasties of the feudal towns and towns, the Hu people repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, a large number of talented people in the Han people defected to the Quartet, and in the end did not end well, Zhengshuo has always been in the Central Plains, and the world will be hidden in the future, and it can only be the Central Plains court.
Wu Yingying was inconvenient to be strong, so he gently hit the saddle with a horsewhip, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, the generals in the army have the intention of supporting the martial arts king, if the secret brother wants to make Zoroastria flourish in the Central Plains, he might as well change his course and get closer to this son." Wang Yu looked at him sideways and said: "Although Dezhao has the heart of the army, His Majesty is also very wary of him. Wu Yingying said with a smile: "It is natural to communicate with the vassal king clearly, and it seems that there are many talented subordinates such as Brother Miquan, so they naturally have a way to communicate secretly." Wang Yu sighed: "Brother Wu, although you are hostile to the imperial court, I still regard you as a friend, why should you use me to stir up trouble and disturb the Central Plains imperial court." ”
Wu Yingying's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "Zhao Jiong is a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, bullies the soft and fears the hard, if he is in charge, the Northern Expedition will not be able to defeat the Liao, and he will inevitably turn westward, trying to get some benefits in the west of the Wu River." I'm making some trouble for him in the court, but I'm just saving myself. He paused, and suddenly said: "But in my opinion, this martial arts county king may not live more than ten months." Although Wang Yu opened his mouth to reprimand him, he was thinking about whether to change his course, after all, Zhao Dezhao had the support of Shi Shouxin and other generals, and Pan Mei Cao Han and other attitudes were also quite ambiguous, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why?" Wu Yingying said in a deep voice: "Dezhao is deeply popular with the army, and he will be jealous of Zhao Jiong, with his strong character, he was originally stolen by Zhao Jiong, and now he is reprimanded and suspected by the officials, and he is afraid that he will be determined to die." Wang Yu was surprised, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu said too much, you and Zhao Dezhao have never said a word, how can you be familiar with his temperament, and bluntly say that he will seek death?" Wu Yingying smiled: "You don't believe it, I had a dream in my sleep last night, in the dream Dezhao said to Zhao Jiong, although Youzhou is not restrained, but should still be issued a reward for the three armies to capture Taiyuan, who knew that he actually touched Zhao Jiong's defeated scales, and reprimanded him, Zhao Jiong originally liked to hide his suspicion in his heart, and he scolded in a hurry." Wait for you to do it yourself, it's not too late to reward', Dezhao was ashamed and angry, and went back to the house to find a sharp knife from his family, so he went into the study to get a fruit knife and kill himself. ”
Wang Yu, who was convinced of Zoroastrianism, heard Wu Yingying say this earth-shattering thing as if he was talking to himself, and it was also the future that he foresaw in his dream, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he was quite surprised, and said in his heart that this Wu hero was not crazy, or he flattered his subordinates so much that he was confused, and he thought that he was a natural saint such as King Wen of Zhou and Duke of Zhou, and he could predict the prophet in his dream. He despised Wu Yingying in his heart, but when he thought about it, he became even angrier: "I regard you as a friend, but you are so amusement to me, but make fun of me for believing in strange powers." Thinking of this, he didn't laugh angrily, and arched his hand: "It's really an interesting dream, Brother Wu works hard every day, and even dreams of looking forward to the restlessness of the court and the middle of the country, and the clan cannibalism, so it's really bothering." Farewell!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Wu Yingying to reply, and urged Manan to go. Because Yang Ye was a general of the Northern Han Dynasty who was deeply feared by the imperial court, Wang Yu didn't want to return with him, so he deliberately stayed for a while, but was ridiculed by Wu Yingying pretending to be a ghost, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and he didn't care about anything else.
Wu Yingying looked at Wang Yu's angry back, and a trace of an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this Wang Yu, who believed in gods, didn't know how he would feel after his prophecy came true.
Zhang Zhongyao saw that the outsiders had left, so he came up to report the situation of the more than 10,000 sergeants brought to Hexi to promote officers at all levels, except for the Baiyu Army, more than 12,000 soldiers were organized into three armies, most of the officers were veterans of the Ya military camp, and some of the prestige soldiers in the forbidden army were promoted to officers at the level of ten commanders and centurions. Wu Yingying nodded when he heard this, looking at the camp that was already quite ranked, the march was long, and an organizational system must be established, and unqualified officers would be replaced in the big competition and re-election. Zhang Zhongyao, Zhu Dao, and Cai Ran were promoted to be the commanders of the three new armies, Zhang Zhongyao was also the captain of the Chengying battalion, and the Ya military battalions that had been dispersed into various armies had to be reselected on the march. Wu Yingying's intention was to select the brave and intelligent soldiers of the forbidden army and the Hedong army who were supported by their comrades into the Ya military camp, on the one hand, to remove the muscles and bones of the small group of the original soldiers, so that the veterans of the Ya military camp could lead the battalion, and on the other hand, it was still necessary to cultivate these soldiers who could be cultivated as officer seeds and henchmen.
"The officers and men of the three armies asked the lord to give them the military number. Zhang Zhongyao bowed and said, Wu Yingying also looked at the expectant eyes of his subordinates, and thought: "The new cavalry army can be called the Tayan Army, and the new cavalry army has two new armies, one is the iron bone army," he saw that the hats on the heads of the soldiers from all parts of the forbidden army were of different shapes, and his heart moved, so he said, "One is the flower hat army." Zhang Zhongyao frowned, the title of this flower hat army was too far away from the majestic military horns of the rest of the armies, and said: "Lord, the military name of this flower hat seems to be a little inappropriate, can it be replaced with a more powerful one?" Wu Yingying smiled: "The battle is not fought by the name of the tongue, and the flower hat and red jacket may not be lost to the sun and the heavenly martial arts." Zhang Zhongyao couldn't, so he had to call the army he led as the Flower Hat Army, and the more than 4,000 cavalry under Cai Ran was called the Tayan Army, and Zhu Dao, the centurion of the Yuanya Military Camp, led the Iron Bone Army.
When the army got the military number, they were supervised by the generals at all levels, secretly withdrew from the south of Cong Yangou, went west along the Sanggan River, and led two thousand white feather troops in the Furen Rail alone. Before leaving, according to the law of the ancients, the sheep were hung and the drums were beaten, disturbing the Liao army all night.
At dawn the next day, the Liao people and horses explored the salt ditch again, and found that the Song army had been wiped out, and the footprints were scattered in all directions, some went to the south and some went to the west. To the south of Yangou is Zhuozhou, Cao Han had already entangled more than 90,000 forbidden troops to wait for the battle, and Yang Ye brought back more than 20,000 forbidden troops. And along the west to explore the footprints of the fence horses were chased and killed by the white feather army, none of them could return to the news, Yelu Hugo learned that the Song army of more than 100,000 people in Zhuozhou City rectification, immediately commanded more than 50,000 horsemen to go south to confront Cao Han, a few days later, Yelu Hugo returned to Youzhou.
Later, according to the detailed investigation of the news, the confrontation with our army in Yangou a few days ago was only the 30,000 defeated troops of Wu Yingying who were captured by Anxi Jiedu with hundreds of personal guards, and Wu Yingying marched west with soldiers who were willing to follow him that night. Brother Yelu Xiu smiled bitterly at Han Derang, Han Derang reminded him when he went to Beijing that there was a new hero in the Central Plains, and Brother Yelu Xiu only said that the Han people were willing to praise each other, but who expected that he really suffered a dumb loss in the hands of Wu Yingying, and failed to chase down the city of Zhuozhou with a lot of energy, and lost tens of thousands of heads and hundreds of thousands of slaves.
