Chapter 68: Huguang (1)
The ass decides the head.
After snatching military power from Gao Yingen, he has actually become the leader of this rogue road.
This change in identity and status also brought him a lot of thinking, and he became more and more aware of the uprising, which gave rise to an obsession.
At night, there were no stars or moons, and it was dark and gloomy.
After discussing and presenting the list of heirs sent to the official office by Fang Shixiang and others, knowing that Yang Kai was already secretly angry, and after discussing and appeasing them, they didn't dare to prevaricate anymore.
Among the more than 30 people sent, the older ones have passed the age of standing, and the younger ones have not yet reached the weak crown, and they are all smart and clever people.
After Yang Kai met once, he was removed from the appointment for discussion, and the rest were handed over to the head of the pro-soldier team, and a special first class was set up to manage.
While the school field outside the South City Gate was still being selected, the army had not yet all left the city. Yang Kai remembered the idea he had when he talked to Han Cao and the others, and specially summoned the old brothers who had been scattered to various parts.
Their number has dropped to less than a hundred, the high one has already achieved the position of a thousand households, and the low one is at least a Wu Commander, knowing in his heart that Yang Kai has not rested for a long time, and at this time, he also invited them to drink, all of them were excited.
When they were in the middle of drinking, they looked back on the past at the banquet, and fought all the way, and countless brothers were crippled and dead, and the money that was rewarded to them was left in the hands of the brothers they knew well during their lifetimes, and the noise of joy was gradually suppressed by the sound of pain.
Recalling Yang Taisui, Yang Kai was also like a fish in his throat, raising his wine glass and toasting to the sky, he lived up to the sustenance of his eldest brother, and finally became the leader, but he did not fulfill the high hopes placed on him by his eldest brother, and failed to protect the old brother who stayed.
Compared with the past and the present, all the old brothers still remember the appearance of Yang Taisui on horseback, and they are 100% recognized that they watched Yang Kai grow up.
He did what the old boss wanted to do but didn't have time to do. They are no longer collateral.
Stripped of the coat of cannon fodder, sad memories flowed through their hearts, and the confidence brought by the recent victories also drove them to gradually dare to look ahead, and they did not vomit unhappiness in their hearts.
Speaking of excitement, the hands danced, and the smiles spread out before the tears were wiped away.
Han Bin, who returned to his life at dusk, entered the city with a blood-soaked sack tied to his horse, and the blood poured out of it led from the west city gate to Yang Kai's mansion, and the sack was full of dead heads.
He also participated in the banquet, and the fight during the day made him particularly excited at the dinner, and after the interest came up, he pushed away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, stood on the table, and spat and bragged.
It is only said that if this continues, he will fulfill the two major wishes of his life, and it is no longer a luxury. Without the old brother asking him what these two wishes were, he blew himself up in a serious way after a drinking gap.
First, go to the capital to see the appearance of the dog emperor, and in addition, sleep all over the wives and concubines of the civil and military officials of the imperial court.
As soon as the wish came out, all the old brothers present were spitting and spitting for it.
Before, they only knew that their four masters liked the wives of the official family, but they never thought that they would be so crazy, and laughed.
Yang Kai was already in a bad state, and after a few rounds of drinking, he also laughed. Probably grew up watching these old brothers, and he always had a sense of comfort when he was with these people.
The banquet was not until the early hours of the morning, and everyone was helped away by the soldiers one by one.
He hadn't closed his eyes for too long, and the strength of the wine was rising, Yang Kai finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he went straight back to the room, took off his saber and put it on his pillow, and fell asleep peacefully.
The red candle fever is high, the drums of the night patrol street watch are resounding in the corners of the streets, and the autumn equinox takes away the residual heat of the scorching earth, and the temperature gradually drops.
Feng Jin'er came once at night, and heard that the soldiers told Yang Kai that he had drunk wine and had not slept for two days and two nights, so he didn't say anything, and he also refused to be retained by the soldiers, and went straight back after owing money.
When I woke up, the morning sun quietly covered the earth.
After Yang Kai got up, he fetched water and washed himself, and the head of the pro-soldier team was called Xu Youyou, who was not yet twenty years old, and came to Yang Kai's side to report what happened at night.
Not long after, Han Bin, Cao Mang and others came to resign one after another, those who should go back to the headquarters, those who should go out of the city, and they parted ways.
Outside the South City Gate, they had already found a location where they could level out the school field, and the selection of the school field outside the South City Gate was much more cautious than outside the West City Gate, firstly, because of their character, and secondly, they also knew the purpose of Yang Kai's arrangement.
Since the operational policy has long been decided, the detailed arrangement determines the success or failure. Siege the city and plunder the land without forgetting the courage of the soldiers, and even the battle and victory without losing the command of the generals.
Since following the old master, Cao Mang has known this truth.
Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the two school fields outside the city were completely leveled, and in a short period of time, they could not train elite soldiers, and the infantry could only practice simple formations in a targeted manner.
As for the infantry, in addition to the patrol in charge of reconnaissance and pathfinding, in addition to the immediate handing in of guns, a cavalry and archery exercise was added.
After seeing Yang Kaibu's amazing combat effectiveness and excellent battle damage ratio at close range outside the city gate of Runing Mansion, Liang Guangzai leveled out of the school grounds, eager to practice day and night, in order to reach the imaginary level as soon as possible, but this stupid idea was sprayed back by Han Bin without accident.
Relying on his relationship with Yang Kai, Han Bin has already obtained a status no less than that of the old management team, but his words are not rough, he can't become a fat man after eating a mouthful of food, and Liang Guang can only agree.
The night passed quietly with the sound of snoring, both inside and outside the city.
The red and clear red light of the early morning reflected the faces of all the soldiers who were tired or energetic, and at this time, the soldiers brought a summons order from the city to summon everyone above the rank of officer into the city to discuss matters.
Since joining Yang Kai's subordinates, Liang Guang did not feel that the position of the palm plate was approaching him, but instead seemed to have turned into an old donkey with his head grinding, constantly accepting the stroke of the whip, constantly being urged to move forward and not stopping.
There is no way, the busyness I have chosen, I have to do it with my pants.
His position as a commander was changed to that of a commander, and half of his subordinates were removed from the coercive crowd, leaving more than 6,000 people. It is just divided into two battalions on the left and right, and two generals were elected from the original management team, the left general is called Peng Dagui, and the right general is called Zhou Wenkui.
Six days ago, the moon came out, and six days later it returned to the sun.
In Yang Kai's house, he has asked his own soldiers to post it on the wall, including the detailed topographic map of Runing Mansion, the map of the mountains and rivers division, the map of the Xinyang Prefecture Chengchi Division, and the topographic map of the jurisdiction.
"During this time, I thought about it. The enemy is delayed in coming, and our army should have taken this opportunity to force military training, but our army has only one city ear, and day by day, the preparation of money and food will be empty sooner or later, and the situation has not yet stabilized. ”
Everyone's eyes were drawn by it.
Yang Kai looked around, Chen Yuzhu, Shang Rong, Yin Zuochan, Han Cao, Deng and Liang, the two commanders, including their generals, had already arrived, and Yan Hou made an exception to participate as a person from the lake.
This time, Yang Kai wanted to hear the thoughts of the audience: "Tell me, what do you think?" ”
The speeches have always represented the status of the people, Deng Fang and Liang Guang did not make a sound, but just looked at Han Cao and the others with their subordinates, Han Bin saw the thoughts of the two, and did not make a sound, and finally all eyes fell on Cao Mang.
He left the city late, and he spent more time with Yang Kai, so it was appropriate for him to speak. Cao Mang didn't push, he approached the map pasted on the wall, patted the southwest corners, and said, "Is it good to divide the soldiers into two ways?" ”
"The south along the Xianshou Mountain, break the Pingjing, Wuyang two passes, sit and look at the mountain; West along Dongyang Mountain, take the mountain road from the White Dragon Pond, bypass Tongbai Mountain, go southwest into it, can break Suizhou.
Get these two counties, rest on the spot, control the east and west of the two official roads in the east and west of De'an Fucheng, and the two roads are at the same time, and De'an is just around the corner. ”
"It's a way."
Yan Hou's brows stretched, he had thought many times about the matter of entering Huguang from the south. "Although Chu is rich in food, but our army should not expand the battle area too early, Xiangyang, Yunyang, Jingdu Si three prefectures, adjacent to Shaanxi, backed by Shizhou Wei, in order to suppress the old, all left a large number of military horses.
Jingmen Prefecture, Chengping Prefecture, and set up the Xingdu Left-behind Division, are difficult to gnaw bones, Weide'an Mansion, from Suizhou to the south of the west side of Hongshan, Jingshan separated, natural barrier.
Only by taking the city of De'an can we rely on the complex terrain to form a safe place to attack and retreat. ”
Yang Kai couldn't deny it, and turned to look at Yin Zuochan, Liang Guang and the others, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Liang Guang has spent a lot of time pondering Yang Kai recently, and he hasn't thought about it, but when he saw Yang Kai asking, he refused to let go of the hard-won opportunity, and rushed to say: "I think what General Cao and Yan Qianhu said is very good, the two cities of De'an and Yingcheng can stabilize our foundation for entering Chu." ”
"Whether the offense is enough or not is not going to be said for the time being, the defense must be insufficient. Xiangyang heavy city also, there are our friendly troops in the north in the Nanyang Mansion harassment, natural vigilance, our army at this time into the De'an Mansion, will attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, if he regards our army as an aid to Nanyang's army, raise troops to the east, at this time, our army has been pressed to the city of De'an Mansion, then the northwest is empty, the officers and troops are guarded according to Tongbai Mountain, hold the throat of our army, cut off the contact with the commander, then Xinyang and De'an are in danger. ”
Yin Zuochan warned softly.
Deng Fang interjected: "What Mr. Yin said is extremely true. If the battle line is too long, it is most taboo to be broken by someone's waist. It is better to march into the northwest by our military headquarters, burn the bridge and cut off the road in the direction of Xiangyang adjacent to De'an, and prevent the official army from advancing eastward. The lake is so big, and it is not impossible to plan it slowly. ”
"What's the use of having this projectile land, no matter how stable it is?" Chen Yuzhu participated in the military conference for the first time, and patiently waited for them to express their opinions, and muttered to himself.
"Mr. Chen has any insights, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
