Why did Yang Ming say that as long as Yang Liang left Jinyang, he was destined to lose?

Because if Yang Liang wants to seize the old land of Northern Qi, then Jinyang must not be the capital, because it is too close to Guanzhong, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be attacked.

However, Yecheng, the former capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, had been ordered to be burned down after the Wei Chi Hui Rebellion, and now there is no bigger fortified city than Jinyang in the entire Northern Qi hometown.

Therefore, Yang Liang is very likely to choose Jinyang as the capital after the separation.

As long as he is reluctant to leave Jinyang, Hebei and Shandong are surrounded by the entire imperial court, and the north has to worry about the Turks, and it will not be possible to become a climate at all.

What's more, in the more than 20 years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the hearts of the people in the world have changed.

Your brother-in-law can deliver information to the imperial court, and I don't know how many people below are unwilling to follow you.

As we all know, the top leaders of the prefectures and counties of the Great Sui are all from Guanzhong, how many of these people are willing to secede? So much so that he won't even be able to go back home in the future, and he won't be able to bury himself in the land of his hometown after he dies.

So from the very beginning, Yang Su saw the situation clearly, thinking that the thief would capture the king first, as long as Jinyang was taken and Yang Liang was captured, other places would not care about it, and he would honestly surrender to the imperial court.

From the very beginning, Yang Su was only worried about one thing, that is, Yang Liang left Jinyang and retreated into Hebei, so that the battle line would be stretched and the counterinsurgency would become more difficult.

"Then does Your Highness think that Yang Liang will leave Jinyang?" Yang Su asked.

Of course not, the historical record is clear, this kid regards Jinyang as his base camp, and he is reluctant to leave at all.

Yang Ming smiled, "No! From the very beginning, he attacked Hebei and Shandong, and he must have thought of stabilizing the rear in order to supply the soldiers and soldiers at the front, but now that Hebei and Shandong are undecided, he does not dare to go, in fact, if he goes to Shandong to calm down in person, it will be the most headache for us."

Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Therefore, the eldest grandson and General Guo are going north this time, whether Pei Wenan is willing or not, he must return to the division, because Yang Liang will not leave Jinyang in a short time, so Jinyang cannot afford to lose."

Yang Su said with a smile: "Now it seems that the old man doesn't have to come out at all this time, it is enough to have His Royal Highness and the pharmacist."

"Don't dare, don't dare, the teacher has tormented the disciples, but His Royal Highness is really aware of the situation and knows the situation well," Li Jing hurriedly said.

.......

The army of the imperial court of Pujin Pass and the rebels of Yuxiang in Hedong County are extremely tacit at the moment, and they have not sent small units to harass them, but the scouts on both sides have been killed in the dark.

On the battlefield, the first priority is intelligence.

Yang Su's staff are all masters of collecting and analyzing military information, and in the hall, except for Yang Ming, Yang Sushi, Long Live and others, they are their respective staffs.

As for the hussar generals and chariot generals, they only had to be dispatched.

The Great Sui is this strange phenomenon, those who have the ability have no rights, and those who have the rights may not have the ability.

Most of the staff members are from humble backgrounds, and the possibility of entering the office is very small, and their best destination is to mix with the elder.

….

Like Yang Su, there are more than 2,000 staff members, both civil and military, and many of them have experienced the battle to destroy Chen, the northern attack on the Turks, and the southern counterinsurgency, and they really have combat experience.

But these people, no matter how good your ability is, at most they are recommended by Yang Su to the local military government to be a general or something, no matter how high they are, it is not easy to mix, and Yang Su himself is unwilling to release people, this is selfish, it is normal.

These staff, according to the situation on the battlefield, make deployment arrangements, and then hand them over to the leaders of the nobility in the military government.

Therefore, although the losses of the scouts on Yang Ming's side were not small, they also brought back extremely important information, and even Pei Wenan took a team of people to leave Hedong County and go to Yuxiang to meet Qiao Zhongkui, and they all found out.

On Yang Ming's side, a large number of scouts were sent out from the periphery of the army to ensure that the deployment of the hinterland was not detected by the enemy.

Based on the amount of scout losses, you can roughly estimate what will go wrong.

For example, if the scouts outside Pujin Pass are attritional, then the situation in Pujin Pass is likely to be mastered by Pei Wen'an.

On the contrary, the scouts sent by Yang Mingfang to go deep into the surrounding areas of Hedong County, although the losses were huge, also showed from the side that they already had a general understanding of the situation in that area.

"Guo Yan's movements, Pei Wen'an definitely already knows, now it depends on whether he can leave or not, and when he leaves," Shi Wansui said: "He met with Qiao Zhongkui, it is very likely that he is discussing this matter, otherwise, he can just send a message by messenger, there is no need to go in person."

The messenger sent the message, there was a possibility of being intercepted, and it was not safe, so Shi Wansui thought that Pei Wen'an would come forward in person to discuss a major matter.

Yang Su frowned and said: "We can't just guess, Pei Wen'an and Qiao Zhongkui are all fresh faces, they haven't dealt with each other, they don't understand the temperament of the two, although the old man has no one in his eyes on weekdays, but on the battlefield, it's just the opposite, now we have to wait for two more days at most, if they don't move, we have to move."

In the early morning of the next day, a scout came to report that Pei Wen'an was attacked on the way back from Yuxiang.

Yang Ming urgently summoned Yang Su and others to discuss.

After Li Jing heard the news, he was overjoyed and said:

"Most of them are Xiao Maha, all the parts in his hands are His Royal Highness, the war horses are complete, in order to be light, they all wear leather armor, most of the sergeants are from the local area, and they are extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain, and only Xiao Maha has the ability to do it."

Under Xiao Maha's hands, there are only two or three hundred people who are his disciples, and the rest are bandits and robbers who were recruited after coming to Hedong County.

These people are all eaten by Yang Ming, and they belong to Yang Ming's direct troops.

And the reason why Xiao Maha is scattered and haunted is all arranged by Li Jing.

So for this credit, Li Jing scored at least half of it.

Yang Su called it a pity: "I almost slaughtered Pei Wen'an, Xiao Maha is Nan Chen's hussar general after all, he knows how to grasp the situation, when Pei Wen'an goes to Yuxiang, he will definitely be cautious, and when he comes back, he will relax his vigilance, there is no problem with the timing of the ambush, it can only be said that Pei Wen'an has a big life and should escape this catastrophe."

"So what should our army do now?" Yang Ming asked the people.

….

Shi Wansui frowned, shook his head and said, "Injury and death are two different things, but since Pei Wenan has received an arrow in the leg, it will inevitably affect the command and deployment of the rebels in Hedong County.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no combat phalanx is eternal, only according to the current situation, it can be improvised.

Yang Ming and they are not bad, since they left Beijing, there have been more than ten military intelligence reports to Daxing every day, and Emperor Yang Guang's reply is always only four words: self-determination.

This is a complete delegation of power, when the expedition is out, what I am most afraid of is the emperor's remote command, Yang Guang has been a commander, and knows this truth, so he never interferes with Yang Ming and them.

In fact, Yang Guang must be relieved, because the people he arranged this time are all trustworthy.

Yang Su, Guo Yan, this is Yang Guang's cronies, the eldest grandson is half of Yang Ming's person, and Shi Wansui is Yang Ming's master, and the commander is his own son, so he is completely his own team, so there is nothing to worry about.

And among the five people, except for Yang Ming, who has no combat experience, the rest are experienced battlefield generals, as long as Yang Ming does not blindly compare commands, it is not a big problem.

Late that night, Yang Ming was woken up by Chen Kui, saying that there was an emergency military situation.

He slept in his clothes, got up and hurried to the military intelligence hall.

"Pei Wen'an moved," Yang Su was old after all, although he looked tired, but his expression was quite excited: "Your Highness is like a god, and the Hedong County garrison has left the city to the north at night, taking advantage of the darkness."

Yang Ming asked, "Is there any new news in the direction of Qiao Zhongkui?"

"Not for the time being," Li Jing said, "Pei Wen'an chose to march at night out of prudence, so that we can't figure out their movements, if we chase now, it is equivalent to being caught between Pei Wen'an and Qiao Zhongkui, if Qiao Zhongkui goes north one day late, then our original plan needs to be changed."

The situation has changed again.

One has already left, and the other may not have left, so Yang Ming can't chase it now, once they are discovered by Qiao Zhongkui, they will be caught between the north and the south.

According to the news from the scouts, Qiao Zhongkui's department has about forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and they have been camped for two days.

Li Jing's remarks were completely out of prudence, and Yang Ming also agreed that he was the commander of the three armed forces, and he was careless.

Who knows Yang Su and Shi Wansui, but they don't think so.

Yang Su said: "The opportunity must not be lost, our army should immediately go north, Shi Wansui led 10,000 soldiers, responsible for intercepting Qiao Zhongkui."

"No problem," Shi Wansui agreed very happily, as if he was 40,000 and Qiao Zhongkui was 10,000.

The words of these two people shocked Yang Ming.

"10,000 people, how can you hold 40,000 people?" Yang Ming said curiously.

Shi Wansui said: "I am delaying, not a decisive battle, as long as I prevent Qiao Zhongkui from approaching your Chinese army, stop and stop, and frequently attack and harass to delay their marching speed, but don't expect me to delay for too long."

"Don't worry about this, the rear of Guo Yan's army is full of scouts, as long as he finds Pei Wen'an's chasing troops, he will immediately turn around, and Guo Yan deliberately dragged the marching speed, and he didn't go far," Yang Su looked at Yang Ming and said, "Your Highness should make a decision as soon as possible."

….

To be honest, Yang Ming was a little hesitant, what he was not worried about was Shi Wansui, not because he was worried about his ability, but because he was worried that his manpower was too inferior.

Of course, Shi Wansui could see Yang Ming's worries, and said with a smile: "The old man fought more than 1,000 miles in Jiangdong (Zhejiang) with 2,000 people, killing countless enemies, and 10,000 people are considered rich to me."

Yang Ming had nothing more to say, and said decisively: "Immediately pass on my military order, the army will march north, and the Taiping Duke will cross Hedong County to block Qiao Zhongkui."

For a time, an army of 43,000 people (Yang Su killed 1,000 who delayed the military plane), allocated 10,000 to Shi Wansui, and the rest did not stay, all of them went north.

If this time, Pei Wen'an's and Qiao Zhongkui's troops can be successfully eaten, then there will be no large-scale rebels between Jinyang and Hedong.

It's a matter of success or failure.

.......

If you want to catch up with Pei Wen'an's army on two legs, it is impossible, and the only chance is in Guo Yan.

As long as Guo Yan found the pursuers and turned around to block the attack, Yang Ming and the others would have a chance to complete the encirclement of Pei Wen'an from the south.

On the battlefield, the most feared thing is to be attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, even if you are absolutely superior in numbers, but because you are sandwiched in the front and back, the army in the central hinterland will not be able to exert it at all, and you can only stare dryly, watching the vanguard and the collection army being gradually eroded, and the collection army is the rear of the palace.

What's more, once the army is defeated, there will first be internal problems and chaos on its own.

This is why, Pei Wen'an will go north first, and Qiao Zhongkui's department is still stationed in place, because he is afraid of being trapped, because his scouts did not find out the specific situation of Pujin Pass, how many people are in the army that is forcing Jinzhou, and how many people are left behind in Pujin Pass, he is completely blind.

This is the lack of experience on the battlefield, Pei Wen'an has only fought Goguryeo once with Yang Liang in his life, and he has no experience in that battle.

Guo Yanbu's original task was to lure the enemy, so he took the most elite as the queen of the army, and once the situation happened, he could calmly set up the formation.

Pei Wen'an's department had cavalry, and Guo Yan was all foot soldiers except for scouts, so he couldn't walk in the open field, lest he be torn apart by the cavalry.

The march of the army, once it exceeds 10,000 people, it is inevitable to divide the troops, and Guo Yan's side is divided into three roads, which are approaching Wenxi County from three directions.

Wenxi County is still in Hedong County, and when Pei Wen'an went south, he directly bypassed it.

Wenxi County, that is the base camp of the old Pei family, the county order is surnamed Pei, Yang Liang is unwilling to turn his face with the Pei family in Hedong, and Pei Wenan will not lead the troops to fight his hometown, otherwise the hometown father will not spare him, so everything in Wenxi County is as usual.

The surrounding area of the county seat was an open area, and Guo Yan ordered the army to stop marching, but instead sent scouts south to check the situation of the pursuing troops.

He didn't dare to go forward, once he entered the boundary of Wenxi County and was caught up by the cavalry, he would definitely be defeated.

Therefore, the scouts sent this time will go deep into the south, and whether there are pursuers behind them, and how far away the pursuers are, need to be investigated.

After a day and a night, Guo Yan received information that there were already cavalry chasing after him.

So he hurriedly ordered the three-way army to find favorable terrain and prepare for it.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry has an innate advantage in attacking the infantry formation, but in several places where Guo Yan set up the formation, the terrain is narrow and the mountains and forests are dense, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, so that after Pei Wen'an's vanguard cavalry found Guo Yan, they only confronted each other from afar, and did not mean to charge into battle.

This has painted Guo Yan with the lake, what does the surname Pei mean? If you don't beat me with cavalry, do you still expect the infantry to charge into battle?

In fact, Pei Wenan didn't dare to fight.

Because of Guo Yan's side, Yang Ming and Yang Sushi's banner were all hidden, and only his own banner remained.

The news that Pei Wen'an received at the beginning was that the main force of the imperial army was heading north.

So, where is the main force? Where are Yang Su and Shi Wansui hiding? And that dead ghost King Qin?

looked ahead and backward, so that the vanguard cavalry did not dare to charge at all.

Because until now, he has not seen the main cavalry of the imperial court.
