Chapter 553: Good News (First Update)
Chapter 553 is full of good news
"The first thing to do after winning a battle should be to announce the good news."
"To whom?"
"For the officials, of course!"
"How?"
"Five hundred miles expedited!"
β¦β¦
There are not many good horses in the Great Song Dynasty, and the horses with the spare horses of the post station are also very average.
At the time of Datang, the fastest expedited documents could be expedited for 800 li, while in the Great Song Dynasty, 500 li expedited was already the fastest.
"Five hundred miles is not slow!"
From Zhuozhou to Bianliang, it is more than a thousand miles all the way, that is to say, three days later, the Great Song official family sitting in Da Nei will know the good news that Zhuozhou is about to be subdued.
Yang Zongbao frowned deeply, watching Ke Liang follow Li Jixuan's personal soldiers, and the two of them rode away in six months.
Ke Liang has been fighting for a day and a night, and he has been running for three days and three nights, and he doesn't know if he can stand it.
"Zongbao," Yang Yanzhao stretched out his hand and gently patted his son's shoulder, and said with relief: "Now that you have the momentum of a great victory, it is time for you to recuperate and prepare to attack the next city." β
Who can subdue the sixteen states of Youyun and crown the king.
Yang Zongbao has recovered Zhuozhou, and killed 100,000 Khitan soldiers in one battle, as if the sixteen states of Youyun have been held in the palm of his hand.
Not really.
You must know that this Youyun Sixteen Prefectures spans five or six hundred miles from east to west, and it is good that Yang Zongbao can rely on his own strength to subdue Zhuozhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places.
The credit should still be shared with other generals.
The most important of these is Li Jixuan.
As Li Jixuan, who has the greatest support for the Yang family's father and son, if Yang Zongbao does not share profits and gives him some credit, this is an offense.
Once Zhao Guangyi of Bianliang City gets the news, he will definitely fully command the border army and attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
Therefore, there was very little time left for Yang Zongbao to regain the lost territory.
Six days should be a conservative estimate, but it should not exceed eight days at most.
Eight days and fifty miles a day, at most a dozen cities.
Therefore, Yang Zongbao must have a center of gravity to protect the next goal.
And Yang Zongbao put the next target in Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is defeated, that is, Shunzhou, Danzhou, and Jizhou.
Among them, there are 30,000 Khitan soldiers stationed in Yanzhou, and there are only a few thousand Khitan soldiers in other places.
Therefore, the main place of this attack is Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is also the modern capital.
From Zhuozhou to Yanzhou, it is only seventy or eighty miles away.
Without waiting for dawn, Yang Zongbao set off on a war horse with his team.
If you move faster, maybe you don't need six days, and you may be able to conquer Yan, Shun, Tan, Ji and other states in three days.
Yang Zongbao hurriedly went north with the Mandarin Duck Army and 10,000 Mu Kezhai.
On the other side, Ke Liang rode south with good news.
The post station changes horses for twenty miles.
The six war horses that Ke Liang and Li Jixuan's personal soldiers carried were all replaced before they arrived in Baozhou.
Out of Baozhou, all the way south.
Ke Liang was just that, but the pro-soldier was wearing a red robe, and when he entered a city, he was about to shout, 'Good news from the side court, General Xiao Yang, behead Xiao Tianzuo, Keding Zhuozhou!' β
Shouting all the way, shouting all the way.
The content of this good news is really a rendering.
Boye, Raoyang, Shenzhou, Hengshui, Xindu, Nangong, through the jurisdiction of the Daimyofu, only changed horses once in Linqing, crossed the river in Qiankou Town, and went to the south of Handan, Fuyang, Cizhou, Xiangzhou, and Tangyin.
In just two days, we have arrived at Gyeonggi Road.
After the sour dates, it can be regarded as looking at Bianliang City.
Before entering Bianliang City, Ke Liang looked at the crowded and crowded road, and was so frightened that he had to pack up his clothes, lest he be in tatters and lose his uncle's face.
Li Jixuan's personal soldiers hurriedly stopped, and said with a hoarse voice: "Brother Ke, slow down, we are here to report good news, Brother Ke is also on the battlefield, and the hero who has more than ten Khitan dogs in his hand is stained with some dirt and dust, which is a real hero, a real hero." If you change your clothes, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the end of your work......"
"And this is exquisite?"
Ke Liang was originally a person with a pure temperament, where did he understand these ways.
But since this soldier said so, he believed him.
As the old saying goes, listen to people's persuasion and eat well.
The two of them didn't tidy up their clothes, they were dusty and broke into Bianliang City.
"Good news from the side court, General Xiao Yang, behead Xiao Tianzuo, Keding Zhuozhou!"
"Good news from the side court, General Xiao Yang, behead Xiao Tianzuo, Keding Zhuozhou!"
β¦β¦
"What? Yang Zongbao, the son of Yang Yanzhao, subdued Zhuozhou? β
The prince and master of the Great Song Dynasty, who is also the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Lu Mengzheng waved his hand to let the official who reported to him retreat, rubbed his brows, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Why did this Yang Zongbao suddenly attack Zhuozhou?" And what kind of virtue can he be, can he kill Xiao Tianzuo? After this time, the Yang family is afraid that it will become the Great Song Dynasty. β
Lu Meng was just opening the good news, Zhao Yuhuan walked in, and said with a look of resentment: "Taishi, Yang Zongbao privately provoked a border war, be killed!" β
"Yuxi, this good news has been written, Yang Zongbao was in the investigation of the enemy, in order to meet the dozens of cottage people who were willing to return to my Great Song Dynasty, was besieged by that Xiao Tianyou, so he had to resist, killed Xiao Tianyou in World War I, and broke Zhuozhou City in World War II."
Lu Mengzheng waved his hand and asked Zhao Yuxu to sit down, and then continued: "Since this Yang Sect retains such ability, it is also my blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, I think it is better to let the official family reward him with a clean official, and it is only right to recall the imperial court and slowly cultivate talents!" β
"What the master said is very true!"
Zhao Yuxi smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his thumb.
He only thought about suppressing the military attachΓ©, but he didn't expect that Lu Mengzheng was planning to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and wanted to convert this Yang Zongbao into a civilian official.
The means are much more clever than himself, and he is worthy of being the prince and master of the Great Song Dynasty.
Lu Mengzheng made up his mind, wrote a memo, and accompanied by Zhao Yuxi, came to the place where the official Zhao Guangyi rested.
As a result, at this time, Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he shook his spirits and pulled a few concubines to play a game of counting dragons and phoenixes.
By this time, it was close to the setting of the sun.
Lu Mengzheng and Zhao Yuxi smiled bitterly, and could only prepare to play tomorrow morning.
Whether it is Yang Zongbao or Li Jixuan, they are all in charge of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council.
Ke Liang and Li Jixuan's personal soldiers reported the victory all the way to the Privy Council, and under the arrangement of the Privy Council, they went to the official post to rest without mentioning it.
The two ran for three days and two nights, took a hot bath, and slept on the bed.
I slept comfortably this night, and woke up to the next day.
Li Jixuan's personal soldiers didn't know Yang Zongbao's plan to send troops, and Ke Liang, as Yang Zongbao's assistant to lead the Mandarin Duck Army, was naturally clear about the next battle.
So when he woke up, he ate his morning meal casually, and let the soldier take him to the front of the Privy Council and wait.
"Brother Ke, our task has been completed, and the receipt has been taken, what are you doing here?"
The soldier asked again and again, but unfortunately Ke Liang just smiled and didn't say anything.
The soldier asked a few times, and found that Ke Liang was not looking at the Privy Council, but throwing his eyes to the north!
Northern...... What will it be?
Just when the hearts of the soldiers and others were anxious, suddenly two iron horsemen came from the north, and shouted hoarsely: "Good news from the border court, General Xiao Yang, kill 30,000 enemies, and conquer Yanzhou!" β
